HIGH HONORS TO A WORTHY MINISTER AND SOLDIER—CHAPLAIN GEORGE W. PRIOLEAU ADVANCED TO RANK OF MAJOR. It is now Major George W. Prioleau. Chaplain Prioleau is well known in Los Angeles. He is now located in the Hawaiian Islands, Stationed with the Twenty-fifth United States Infantry at Schofield Barracks. Born in South Carolina, educated in Wilberforce University and other institutions of higher training in Ohio, serving as Professor in Wilberforce University and as minister of the Gospel, he has advanced steadily until, by exceptional efficiency he has attained the highest rank of any Colored man in the active service of the United States army at the present time. He is major in the Twenty-fifth Infantry, one of the four regiments of Colored Soldiers in the service of Uncle Sam. Chaplain George W. Prioleau was appointed in 1895 and assigned to special recruiting duty for the Ninth Cavalry for service in the Spanish-American war. In 1899 he was sent to the Philippines, where he remained two years. In 1907 he was returned to the Philippines and spent another two years. When he was returned to the United States he joined the Ninth Cavalry at Fort D. A. Russell, but was transferred to the Tenth Cavalry in 1911 and was stationed on the Mexican border. In June, 1916, he was assigned to the Twenty-fifth Infantry at Schofield Barracks Hawaiian Territory, where he has served efficiently and well, and earned the nomination for the grade of major. He was nominated August 9 and was confirmed by Congress a few days ago. The motto of the Twenty-fifth Infantry is "Country, Duty, Honor." In his work in the army, Chaplain Prioleau has carried out his part of that motto to the letter, and that accounts for the lofty position. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1917. (From Wednesday's Kansas City Journal.) There has been a singularly ill-advised handling of the Negro soldiers ever since the mobilization of the American forces began. Numerous "race riots" and outbreaks of greater or less seriousness have occurred as a result of quartering Negro regulars in communities where race prejudice might naturally have been expected to result in friction, if nothing worse. These occurrences, however, appear to have been controlled, and there have been no special reasons for complaint for some time. But the wrong lesson appears to have been learned by the government's military authorities from these occurrences. Ever since the registered forces have been in process of selection under the new law there has been evinced a seeming disposition to ignore the Negroes as prospective units of the new national army, with the result that a two-fold injustice has been worked. In the first place, white men who w ould not have been called for months, in all probability, have been "advanced" in the lists while the Negroes have been held back. Let it not be understood that considerations of race or color should operate to relieve white men of any obligations which are entailed upon them as citizens or available soldiers, or that Negroes, because they are Negroes, should be sent to places of danger ahead of white men. That is not the fundamental principle involved. Before the law all are equal in the matter of responsibility. But wholly unnecessary and wholly avoidable dissatisfaction is being caused by this injustice which is being wrought in the case of the white men who are sent to the training camps, while Negroes are held back by order of the authorities. There is also an unnecessary injustice wrought upon the tens of thousands of willing Negroes who ought to take their places in the ranks but who are deprived of that privilege. They are being placed in the position of men who are either unwilling to assume the responsibilities of citizenship or who are not regarded as worthy of assuming the burdens falling upon all alike. Either assumption is unjust. In view of prejudices which exist and which cannot be consistently ignored, the problem of the Negro soldier will not be solved by promiscuous mingling of the two races, and certainly not by sending white soldiers alone while Negroes are held at home. There is no apparent reason why several divisions of Negroes should not be formed, officered mainly by men of their own race, within the regulations prescribed. There is no reason why these Negro soldiers should not be trained at one or more training camps devoted exclusively to soldiers of their race. The same fundamental results would be secured without the friction and dissatisfaction which have already been caused. Under proper conditions the Negroes might give as good an account of themselves as soldiers of the white race and they should be allowed the opportunity of doing so. If it is not considered an opportunity by all of the available Negro soldiers, they should be required to assume the duty deveolving upon them such. They must be credited,how,with having shown as yet no disposition to shirk these duties and responsibilities and they should be invested with their proportionate share of the burdens of membership in the national forces.

I have not sung with winged thought, Nor rhymed with perfect measure, And yet kind Fate has brought to me A joy most deeply felt; A king of men was here today— And I saw Roosevelt! He stood within a sheltered place, Without vast crowds were surging. Grown used to slights for darkened face, Perhaps I needed urging. For when he saw me he stepped forth And smiled—I could have knelt— And man to man I grasped the hand— The hand of Roosevelt! “All men up, and no man down—” These grand words he was saying, “Let men be men, black, white, or brown” The brass bands all were playing, When I did turn as from a mount On which Old Wonder dwelt, My soul was bursting with the shout— “Thank God for Roosevelt!” CHARGE NEGRO WITH SEDITION.

Jones, a Negro, who came here from Texas several months ago, charged with the murder of Arthur N. Dorsett, a city detective, the widow, Mrs. Anna Dorsett, rose from a chair among the spectators in the criminal court room at 5:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon and fired a shot at Jones. The bullet entered the Negro's left side under the shoulder, but, deflected by the bone, it followed a course under the skin and lodged six inches from where it entered. He was not seriously wounded. Witnesses said that Mrs. Dorsett took the pistol, a 38-caliber weapon, from the folds of her handkercnielf, arose from her chair and leveled the gun at the Negro, who was seated at the counsel table. Before anyone could stop her she fired. "I am avenged," she said. Mrs. Helen Scharfer, a sister of Dorsett, who sat next to her, said: "Get him again." But before she had an opportunity to fire a second shot, Joseph Stewart, a deputy marshal, rushed to her and took the gun from her hand. He said he was compelled to use force and that the sister sought to get possession of the pistol ahead of him. Court automatically adjourned for several minutes, and the hearing proceeded. I. M. Lee, state's attorney, closed the arguments for the state and the instructions were read by the court. The jury retired to consider its verdict. It returned thirty minutes later with a verdict of guilty, carrying with it a prison sentence of fifty years. With the firing of the shot by Mrs. Dorsett the court room was thrown into an uproar. Judge Latshew beat a hasty retreat behind his bench. He later admitted that he thought it safer there. "I was not particularly afraid of Mrs. Dorsett, because I knew that she was too sure a shot," Judge Latshew said. "What I feared was that the second woman, who had mounted a chair, would get possession of the gun and that she might have taken offense at some of the rulings of the court." Mrs. Dorsett was formally arraigned by Judge Latshow and entered a plea of guilty. Her bail was fixed at $2,000, which was immediately signed by the cousin. Dorsett was shot by Jones on August 7, while he was attempting to arrest the Negro. Shortly after the shooting Mrs. Dorsett appeared at the county jail, heavily veiled, and asked to see the Negro. She was refused admission and a deputy marshal called her by name. She was searched and a revolver was found in her possession. She admitted that she intended to shoot Jones. SHOT IN OPEN COURT.

COLORED ROYAL ARCH MASONS MOURN DEATH OF MILTON F. FIELDS, 33° MASON. (By A. L. Thomas, Dep. G. H. P., Missouri Jurisdiction, Jefferson City, Mo.) The recent death of Sir and Noble Milton F. Fields, $33^{\circ}$ Mason of St. Louis, Mo., has caused great sorrow among the various Masonic Organizations of this state and especially is this true of the Most Eminent Grand Chapter, Royal Arch Masons of Missouri and Jurisdiction. For a number of years Milton F. Fields has stood out foremost in Royal Arch circles as an *indefatigable advocate and staunch supporter of the principles of the craft. Time and again he has been honored for signal service rendered Royal Arch Masonry until he stood at the time of his death one of the most honored men of the craft. Royal Arch Masonry has not only lost by his death a firm adherent but also a constructive force in molding the policies that have brought about such high degrees of efficiency in the work accomplished by the craft for the promotion of its grand ideals and ideas both of a theological and practical nature during the past few decades. Sir and Noble Milton F. Fields as a Royal Arch Mason was noted for his sense of fraternal devotion and spirit of self abnegation. His appearance in "The Grand East" was as the glittering beams of the majestic sun spreading peace, good will and joy in the fragrant dawn of an early summer morn. His every act in the sacred precincts of Royal Arch Masonry will forever live in the hearts of those left to mourn his loss as the act of a Master who walked close under the comforting shadow and tender influence of God. He was in his chivalrous attitudes and activities a Knight beyond reproach, and as a Mason in the full sense of the term by his life work he has written for himself upon the sacred and ancient annals of the craft a name glorious in its deserving fame; honorable because of the weight of its Christian character; sublime because of its golden charm and never dying influence wherever the profane tongue is silenced by the divine chords of Masonic melody. Milton F. Fields so lived that in dying his brethren while weighted with grief can yet rejoice in the happy trust that he has entered without successful denial into the sublime joys of eternal fellowship within the jeweled portals of the Grand Lodge where the High Priest is God, the Supreme Architect of the Universe. Noble in his aspirations, democratic in his mode of life, keenly alert to the general success and betterment of his race, active in the organization and development of all enterprises having to do with the upward trend of humanity and civilization whether of a secular or religious nature, in his death the world has lost the most potential force in the economy of Nature, "A Man." Devoted and zealous in all endeavors tending towards the preservation and inculcation of Royal Arch Masonry, both theoretical and practical, according to ancient and accepted usage, and in doing so himself a vial factor, Royal Arch Masonry has lost a brother whose place will not be easily filled. To the Most Eminent Grand Chapter of Missouri and Jurisdiction he was as the Bow to the Arrow, the Sun to the Flowery dels hidden by the golden foliage of a million oaks of the forest touched by the artful hand of Autumn, the Plow to him who makes the earth to blossom forth with the products of fertile field. A Christian citizen of the highest standard! a Race man with shield unblemished and bow erect; a Royal Arch Mason, loyal and noble to every trust, tried and found not wanting in every responsibility, Mason F. Fields has gone to a holy rest. Mrs. Henry Murray of Holden, Mo, was visiting her son and daughter Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Murray, 1713 Forest avenue, last week. SAY, PEOPLE! HAVE YOU EVER RIDDEN IN E.

That is what has given them their superior wearing qualities. Today such leather can be used only in shoes costing at least $7.50 to $12. Men pay more attention to values than they used to. They find that shoe dollars go further in a high-type shoe like Crossetts. The shoe below is a fine example of Crossett style and comfort. Let us show it to you.

To the Colored Brotherhood: This is to call your attention to the meeting of the Inter-National Christian Missionary Convention in Kansas City, Mo., October 24-31, 1917. Also call your attention to the great need of a national meeting of Negroes of the church. We consider we have in the meeting of the Inter-National Convention of Brotherhood here this fall, a great opportunity for a wise and helpful meeting in all respects for the Negro Christian Brotherhood. The three Colored Christian Churches of Greater Kansas City, their friends and sister churches join in cordially inviting the Brotherhood to Kansas City, and will make you welcome. Kansas City is in the territory of the disciples of Christ and is one of their strongholds, and the central states of the Mississippi Valley hold a big population of the Brotherhood of both races. Kansas City can be easily reached by railroads from all sections of the country. To the convention there will be special rates on all railroads to Kansas City. We can meet on this occasion in Kansas City much cheaper in all respects than any other city. We can witness the great Inter-National Convention and be in the atmosphere of one of the greatest religious Missionary bodies in the world. A part of the sessions will be held in the Second Christian Church, Twenty-fourth and Woodland Ave. The program of these sessions will be National in scope and nature. Some of our greatest preachers, speakers and workers of both races have accepted places on the program. The program will consist largely of symposium, conferences and round table talks respecting our local, state and National Missionary Educational work. The evening addresses will be made by men and women of the church of National reputation as convention and platform speakers. Representatives and Secretaries of the National Missionary Boards, and our National Field Workers have promised to be on hand and take part in the program. We claim the race has much in Kansas City, of which to be proud, and that you will enjoy. It will be well worth your time and money to spend a few days in Kansas City, especially on such a mission. So, all in all, this will be a great meeting or you to attend, and we urge our ministers and faithful workers throughout the country to come.

Over a Thousand People Applaud Sweet Singers at the High School Auditorium. The musical entertainment, "Hiawatha," at the High School auditorium last Friday, under the direction of Prof. R. G. Jackson, musical director of Western University, for the benefit of St. John's A. M. E. Church under the supervision of Rev. F. J. Peck, was one of the best entertainments ever staged by home talent in the history of Topeka. Over one thousand people, the best citizens of both races, witnessed the entertainment. Miss Beulah Douglas, teacher of music at Western University, led the orchestra, which was composed of Miss K. Newman, Messrs. L. Johnson, D. H. Beard, T. J. Murphy, W. H. Newman, F. Williams, C. H. Dillard and F. G. Cannon. Too much uraise cannot be given the leading characters in the play. Miss Etta G. Moten, who led the Indian maids in dance, is no doubt developing into a fine actress and performer. She is as good as we have ever seen and a sweet singer and her service is well worth $25 a night. Miss Antoinette Young, who was recently led to the altar by Prof. Jackson, a beautiful, charming young lady, played the part of Minnehaha. She certainly distinguished herself as a beautiful Indian maiden and there was no criticism to be offered as to her part in the play. She is a high class entertainer and singer and no finer could be seen in the best opera houses in the country. Mr. Fred M. Ware who played the part of Hiawatha has become famous as an actor.

This unsolicited letter was handed to us by Mr. Upton at the close of our examination, and after his board had examin- ed every certificate in force by the American Woodmen. When it is remembered that not a half dozen fraternals have so high a valuation, we should all rejoice at this wonderful achievement of Negro big business. It affords me great pleasure to inform you that after carefully valuing your certificates for the closed calendar year, I find the American Woodmen stands well in the lead of most Fraternals of America with a valuation of 112.1 per cent. When it is considered that a large per cent. of the Fraternal Societies of the country have a valuation of less than 75 per cent, you are especially to be congratulated for the very excellent standing of the American Woodmen. This letter proves to you the status of this society. Then you should waste no time to become a member.

P. on whom (because of close proximity) has devolved the labor of giving relief, prosecuting claims for losses and detecting and prosecuting the criminals in the matter of the barbarous rioting and massacres at East St. Louis, Ill., in the first week of July, 1917, here makes a general appeal for funds that are necessary to the accomplishment of its work. The future safety of the Colored people throughout the United States depends upon the nation being taught that arrest, trial, conviction and punishment shall be the portion of those who assail persons because they are Colored as surely as such assault is made. Colored people alone can give this lesson. We are giving it now and it shall be given most thoroughly; but we must have the help we are here asking for. To this date $1,067.00 has been contributed for this purpose and $648.00 has been expended. Attorneys, detectives, court fees, and other expense create need for a total of $5,000.00. We publish fortnightly, in available newspapers, reports of all money received and all expenditures and we will furnish interested persons with copies of these reports on request. We earnestly ask prompt, general response to this appeal and we pledge exhaustive effort for redress and correction. Send all contributions by check, registered letter or money order to William H.

EDITORIALS. Fear nobody but God. Why does the A. M. E. Church require its preachers to pass an examination in chemistry? Wouldn't astronomy be more fitting? If the lady school teachers succeed in organizing a boarding club some of the men teachers will be encouraged to get up a pressing and shining club. In spite of many greasy protests from Texas the Eighth Illinois is about to go into training at Houston. But perhaps Houston has learned a little manners during the last few weeks. If you have a curious dream, see anything curious in a spider's web, hear anything curious about your own people, remember, "go tell a white maan." In this way you will get your name in the Post. Among the drafted soldiers the Negroes claimed less than one-third as many exemptions as the whites, proportionately, and are the only men really complaining because they are being held back from the big international fray. Still the white, Christian patriots hate their black defenders more and more each day. A two-piece garment with frills of music, girdles of laughter, flounce of lovelliness and beauty comes "America First," the patriotic song offering to the Garden Theater Week of October 7th, with the usual matinees Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Unusual large company of talented performers are utilized in the presentation of this song play, handsome gowned chorus of bewitching beauties, and some original creations in terpischorean evolutions. Patriotic song numbers are carefully woven in by the producer, A. C. Langan, which brings to the spectator a feeling of first and last, "America First." Beginning with a matinee Sunday, October 7, Dubinsky Brothers will present a new play by L. B. Parker, entitled "Poor Butterfly" at the Grand Opera House where this popular company has settled down for an entire season of permanent stock. Each of the two plays already presented with the Dubinsky Brothers have met with instant favor, and the clever members of the company have been warmly received by the theater-going public. Irene Daniel, Charles Cubine, Barney Dubinsky, Fred Butler and others in the long cast who were here before with the Dubinsky Brothers, have been virtually if not actually shaking hands with the audience at each performance, as many old friends and acquaintances have visited them. "Poor Butterfly" like the song of the same name will, according to critics, will be just as popular, although the story of the play has nothing to do with the song, only that a great big heart story is told in each. The bargain matinees on Sunday, Thursday and Saturday are popular. One thousand seats are offered at ten cents.

Betty & Sam's Little Corner) A THEY SAY —That the Street Fair will surely come off in 1918. Watch for it. —That Colored folks can't play baseball on a cool, cloudy day. Why? —If they should stop killing hogs half the culdupopulation would surely die. What am life without a po'k chop? —That there are a whole lot of things stirring in "society" right now. Are you interested? —That any Negro who wants to work can find it now. If you don't thinnk so, see Rivers, at 1510 East 18th street. —That a certain sister wrote Food Conservator Hoover to know how she could pickle watermelon to keep until next spring. —That there are some Negroes who crave notoriety so badly that they'll risk going to jail to obtain it. —That when a Negro offers his services and his life to his country and has been turned down, why should he worry? —That in one of the hotels which is usually crowded to its capacity a guest had some difficulty in being served at dinner. Becoming impatient he called the bright looking young fellow standing at another table with his arms folded; in the usual manner of the Southernner says, "George, I'm in a hurry, I can't get waited on; will you take my order?" The waiter very courteously said, "Yes, sir," took the order and in a very few moments returned with it elegantly served. The gentleman turned to him and said "What is your name, my boy?" With a humorous grin the boy replied, "They call me billiard cue." "Well that's a very peculiar name; why do they call you that?" With a still broader grin upon his countenance the waiter replied, "They call me that because I work so much better with a good tip."

Mostly on account of the carnival company that was to furnish the attractions refusing us at the last moment to fulfill their engagement, as they said they could not possibly put up on 18th street, as there was not enough vacant lots and space for their twelve shows and other attractions, namely: One (1) Merry-go-round, One (1) Ocean Wave, One (1) Ferris Wheel, and several small attractions. The committee worked very hard trying to get other attractions, but failed. They even went to Sedalia to the State Fair to find attractions, but none could be found. Things might have been better if the business people on 18th street could have been made to see the advantage of a good live carnival and street fair for one week. The business men who contributed their money to make the fair a success should certainly receive the credit for doing their part to boost 18th street. Persons who pledged to pay, but have not as yet.

J. WEAVER. FRANK MIDDLETON, JR.. T. Z. REYNOLDS, Committee. In the death of John Whitlan, one of Kansas City's pioneer business men and for thirty-three years the owner of the famous "Joe and Charlie Emporium" at 15th and Grand Avenue, the Colored people lost a good and true friend, who was a true exponent of the principles of the Roosevelt theory, "All men up and no men down." For seventeen years, Officer Oscar Hardin and Elijah Hendricks were employed by him and only left his employ when they went into business for themselves. He always trusted them implicitly and they never betrayed that trust. Many times Hardin and Hendricks have carried as much as $3,000.00 of Mr. Whitland's money and under his direction on Saturdays have cashed thousands of dollars worth of checks. These excellent young men not only sent a beautiful floral design as an attestation of their affection and regard for Mr. Whitland during his lifetime but they also attended the funeral services last Thursday at the beautiful Wagoner funeral parlor.

Why He Uses Right Hand. Why He Osses Right Hand. Major George W. Powell, who is notoriously left-handed, writes with his dexter hand, and is a fine penman. "Yes," said the major, "I write right handed, and thereby hangs a tale. I was a school boy in eastern Indiana, in a school where the master was a rigid old Virginian. One day, at the writing lesson, he noticed that I was following the copy with my left hand. 'No more of that, my lad,' said the master; 'you'll write with your right hand or it will be the worse for you.' "The next day, forgetting this threat, I was using my left hand at the writing lesson. He yanked me from my desk, drew my nankeen trousers tight, very tight, over the seat and gave me a most cruel flogging, the testimony to which I carried for many days. When my father saw these black and blue stripes on my body he started out to find that Virginia. The schoolmaster had got wind of his coming and disappeared from the neighborhood, to be seen no more. But I have from that day all ways written with my right hand."—Indianapolis News. BASEBALL SATURDAY GAME In one of the best games played here this season the A. B. C.'S of Indianapolis and the All-Nations battled to a 12-inning draw yesterday after noon at Association Park. When darkness ended the contest the score stood 5-5. The combat was also nip and tuck. First one club would go into the lead and then the other. The Indianapolis lads held the lead for six innings. They scored two runs in the opening stanza, one in the third and another in the fifth. 'The All-Nations didn't dent home plate until the third round, when one tally was made. In the sixth they tied the score by shoving across three runs. The All-Nations made the fifth and final run in the eighth inning, while the A. B. C.'S knotting counter came in the first half of the ninth. From the ninth inning until the twelfth, neither team got a man as far as third base. Flanagan, pitching for the Wilkinson-Gaul combination, and Johnson, hurling for the visitors, both heaved in grand style and neither was in danger. Benjamin Taylor was a hitting rampage and connected safely four times out of six tries. All his blows were good for one base. Blukoi's batting and that of Mendez's were the main factors in the All-Nations' run getting. Blukoi hit a home run with a runner on and tripled with a teammate on. Several sensational catches and plays were made by both teams. The teams will play the second game of the series this afternoon at 3 o'clock and each team will have its star flinger working. Donaldson will do the mound work for the All-Nations with "String Bean" Williams as his opponent. The score: A. B. C. AB H PO A B Lyons, lf ... 6 1 2 0 0 Warfield, s ... 4 1 2 2 0 I.

C.'s. John Donaldson held the A. B. C.'s to three hits yesterday afternoon at Association Park, but his teammates bobbled and the A. B. C.'s won the second game of the series from the All-Nations, 3 to 0. The Indianapolis lads put over two runs in the first inning without the semblance of a hit. They made their other counter in the ninth round. Not a swat was made off Donaldson's delivery until the sixth inning. In the eighth the All-Nations loaded the bases after two were out, but the best the cleanup batter could do was to die by the way of third to first. Williams, working for the visitors, was invincible in the pinches. He struck out eleven and allowed five hits. Donaldson also struck out eleven. ill the hits made by both clubs were good for but one base each. A. B. C.s.....200 000 001—3 All-Nations. . .000 000 000—0 Stolen bases—McNair, Mendez, Lyons.

The teams will play off the tie this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Mike Flanagan's pitching was the main factor in the All-Nations copping the double bill. He had his opponents on his staff in both contests and not until the last inning of the second game was he in danger. A double by Blukoi won the after piece for the All-Nations, when he doubled with two team mates on bases. Scores: R. H. E. A. B.

A minister, meeting a parishioner of his who had been quite recently married and about whose domestic happiness terrible stories were rife, saluted him, and said: "Well, John, and how is all going on?" "Oh, happily enough!" returns John. "I'm glad to hear it. You know there were rumors of rows or—" "Rows," says John. "Oh, yes, there are plenty of rows; whenever she sees me she catches the first thing to hand, a dish or anything, and fires it at me. If she hits me she's happy; if she doesn't, I am! Oh, we're getting on fine!"—Tit-Bits. Scattered Wealth on Street. During a severe windstorm which recently centered its force upon a small Oklahoma town, several thousand dollars' worth of jewelry displayed in a shop window was blown into the street when the front of the store was demolished. A large number of rings and unset stones, as well as other ornaments, were scattered broadcast. Because of the danger of being struck by flying debris, the owner and employees of the store were unable to attempt the recovery of the missing stock until the storm had partly subsided.—Popular Mechanics.

WASHINGTON CITY SIDELIGHTS Specialist in All Matters of National Defense WASHINGTON.—He might be a matinee idol, for he has the raven-black hair and the flashing black eyes and the pearly white teeth—but he is not. He is Grosvenor Clarkson, secretary of the council of national defense. varied one. He came originally from Des Moines, Ia., where he was engaged in newspaper work. He heard the siren call of the large Eastern cities, however. He wanted to work and mingle with the rushing throngs of America's metropolis, and he went to New York. Clarkson fitted in with the hustle and the bustle of New York, for Clarkson was a hustler. He wont into the advertising business and made a name for himself as a man "with a punch," a man who could put anything across. Then there came the great American movement for preparedness. Those who were financing the movement saw in Clarkson a man who could appeal to the American people in a manner which would attract them. Clarkson became the publicity man behind the movement. When the war came, Clarkson was taken into the council of national defense. As secretary of the council he finds himself with the sturdy task of handling the enthusiastic spirit of thousands of Americans who want to help. He is a sort of official buffer—the man who separates the sheep from the goats and who considers the weight of the various propositions of help that are put up daily to the council of national defense. Every moment of the day Clarkson is available. To him come appeals for aid from every war administrator in Washington. He is the one man who has at his fingertips the mass of knowledge concerning people and things that makes it possible for him to always recommend the right man to do the right thing. The burden of his work is showing upon Clarkson; but he throws it off occasionally and takes himself to a tennis court, where he forgets the war and his worries and displays his ability as a raqueter. Girls Add to Lure of the Soda-Water Fountain PRETTY girls, neat in bib and tucker, are soon to take the places of red-headed and gawky youths of the sterner sex as dispensers of soda water and other liquid refreshments in Washington. Half a dozen establishments in can get employment has made them exceedingly "cocky," so the proprietors have apparently with one accord decided to dispense with male "singers." Once the girls get the jobs, there will probably be no return to boys as dispensers, for the substitution of the neater, sweeter maidens who serve drinks with an alluring smile worth the price of many drinks will, undoubtedly, prove so popular with the patrons that no fountain owner will dare to return to the unattractive male attendant. While girls may possibly be employed for slightly less than the figures mentioned above, the law says they shall work only eight hours a day. This last mentioned fact is probably one reason why they have not been more extensively employed as attendants in the past. There is now an unprecedented shortage of soda "jerkers" and the experienced youth has no trouble in getting a job. Many are of draft age, and have been called to the colors. Others have volunteered for military service. Higher wages given in practically all trades have caused hundreds to forsake the calling for positions as semiskilled carpenters.

Costaggini died in 1907, and since then no work has been attempted on the frieze.

Good taste dominates them in styles and color and in materials and trimming. They are wonderfully tailored. Most of the new wool goods have a soft, velvety finish, and certain fashionable colors appear at their best in surfaces of this kind, like tan, beige, castor, gray and wine. The quiet of the colors fashionable for fall makes room for all sorts of clever eccentricities of cut, and the smartest tailors have taken advantage of this opportunity to show how ingenious they can be. They think out X O M THE SORT OF SUITS WE WANT. the best lines for the slender figure and the best lines for the stout figure and proceed to work revolutions in the appearance of their patrons. The plump lady looks trim and the thin lady looks graceful, having lost her angles in a new and innocent-looking tailored suit which has been craftily designed to conceal them. They go on their way rejoicing after they have selected the styles made for them. A study of the suit pictured above will reveal what the art of the tailor can do by way of achieving the unusual and interesting while preserving the simple, graceful lines demanded by the mode. The coat is cut with hanging panels, each finished at the bottom with a band of fur. Plaits, set in at the back, dispose of the waistline in the best possible way and concede the right of fashion to demand that backs be made interesting.

After all, it contrives to escape being fussy and to preserve the clean lines that belong to the tailor-made. This is one of those brilliant evening gowns that transform their wearers into the semblance of a wonderful butterfly. It is made of net, with a petticoat underneath of net and still another of thin and lustrous satin. The dress is almost incrusted with straight bands of mother-of-pearl sequins and little rhinestones that reflect the light with the rudiance of pearls and diamonds. It is to be worn with a scarf of mailines over the arms and shoulders. Nearly always, with such splendid materials, the designer confines herself to the simplest methods of using it. The bodice in this instance appears to be a straight piece of the material wrapped easily about the figure. The skirt is very full, but the weight of the passementerie holds it close to the figure. It is draped at the sides as demonstrated in the picture. For a dancing frock it may be caught by the fingers and lifted like a pair of wings. ```markdown ``` The bodice is supported by strands of rhinestone over the shoulders and joined to the skirt by an easy girdle of the material that conforms to the lines of the waist. Flat tassels of crystal beads finish the joints of drapery at the sides and at the bottom of the skirt. White satin slippers and white silk stockings, and a band of brillants about the hair, are to be worn with this frock, and they should be without ornament. The scarf of tulle about the shoulders—not shown in the picture—vells the brillance of sequins and rhinestones and adds beauty to the gown and to its wearer.

The one most commonly seen is the "filet" stitch, a kind of delicate punchwork that forms a lacy web and is an excellent background for the design, either in embroidery or more commonly of the solid material outlined in a fine white thread. The designs are usually conventional flower patterns, rather large, or else merely geometrical. TOWNS IN ENGLAND PLANNED Garden Cities Show What Can Be Accomplished by Carefully Laying Out Site Before Building. In the garden cities of England, such as Letchworth and Hampstead, the site of the town was purchased by a company and the town was laid out as a whole with reservations for public and semi-public buildings, parks, playgrounds and civic centers. The location of factories, business houses and stations was designated and the sites of the residences were carefully planned. The result has been highly gratifying from every point of view. The convenience and comfort of the citizens have been promoted, a high degree of beauty has been obtained and the health of the communities has become far famed. When these garden cities are compared with the towns that have grown up without planning the value of town planning becomes evident. In one the needs of community life are recognized and provided for; in the other the community is ignored and each individual is left to follow his own initiative. In one a high measure of comfort is assured the individual by his taking the proper place in the community; in the other the individuals clash in their efforts to promote self-interest, with result that the few secure the desired comforts at the expense and disadvantage of the many. COPYRIGHTS ITS LAMP-POSTS Alhambra, Cal., Adopts Exclusive Design in Which City's Emblem Is Used Effectively. Artistic lamp-posts of concrete and iron have been erected in Alhambra, Cal., which were made especially for the city according to a design that has been copyrighted, so that posts of this type cannot be used elsewhere. The insignia of the city is a crescent and star, which is suggestive of the Moorish palace in Spain bearing LORAX STREETS BY 12 MARCH the same name as this California town. The emblem has been used very effectively In designing the arms which support two of the three lights on each post. It also appears on the sides of the base. Above each of the latter ornaments is a mission bell. One of these bells serves as a door to the fuse box situated within. Playgrounds in Parks. That city could well boast of being nearly ideal for residential purposes could it be said that it provided a well-equipped playground within easy reach of every home, says a playground expert. Primarily and fundamentally the writer believes in a complete separation of park and playground, but this is impossible in any city called to mind, through lack of suitable area for play and this is more to be desired than parks for mere breathing space. The only reasonable solution then is to have some equipment and conveniences for play in every park unless close by an official playground. Yet the history of small parks where special provision for juveniles has been made plainly show that it has usually brought spoliation and general untidiness impossible to overcome except when confined to well-defined areas within protection of hedge, fence or wall. And this should be provided in the original plan of every park, or later the park design will have to undergo changes to admit of this very necessary provision for childhood's happy play.

Nine strange and unnamed young men had come to dispute supremacy with them. The two men were out, one man was on base and one run was needed to tie the score in the ninth.

The man on base ran home and young Koch made the circuit of the bases. Everybody lost sight of the elder man in the general jollification that followed the home run until somebody called out that a man had fallen in the crowd. Young Koch ran over to see what had happened. He found his father dead. Heart disease had asserted itself and the excitement of the moment in which he saw his son proclaimed a local hero was too much for the old baseball fan.

Rescuing Hettie By HI AKERS Hettie trudged back and forth from the box factory where she earned just enough to pay for the little, cold bedroom, the scanty meals and the cheap clothes, which were necessary to existence. Her hours were long and her pleasures few. Was it any wonder she went when she could to the nickel movies, and revealed in the delights of another world than hers? Even when the films did touch her own world, and the poor working girl was lured away into perilous paths, she so often was rescued by handsome young men, or kind, rich women that she "lived happily ever afterward." Hettie shrank from entering the paths of vice. The movies had done much for her in the way of warning, more perhaps than many sermons might have done. But she was only seventeen, and she wanted some of the good things, something of the joy of life. She did not want to suffer the horrors that happened to the screen heroines, but she did want to be "rescued." If only some rich woman would adopt her. That was the dream that became her constant companion. It had happened to these other girls quite frequently, why not to her? The handsome young hero seemed such a remote possibility, that the probability of being adopted appeared to be a great deal more likely to happen. In her prayers for the latter boon Hettie had especially stipulated that the woman must be rich, for to be adopted by a poor woman, and put into the kitchen to do all the work did not seem to offer a pleasing alternative. It might prove an even worse life than that of the box factory. Never having remembered her own parents, there entered also into her dream the longing for the kind of affection which only the mother heart can give. It is not to be supposed that THE BANK She Awoke in a Narrow, White Bed. the handsome young man played no part in the girl's vision. No, he was always there. But she reasoned he was quite sure to appear at the proper time if she could go into the society where he was to be found. Clearly the only way out of it was to be adopted. It had not entered Hettie's mind that some slight preparatory education in grammar, and the mode of speech required in cultured society might help some in the process of acquiring an adopted mother. She had had a rudimentary school training in the institution from which she went to the box factory, but her association with the girls of that section of the town, had not added to the elegance of her language. Poor little Hettie! she was bright, kindly, and well-meaning, and her desires were only the normal ones of youth. Once she told a girl companion of her wish to be adopted, and was so laughed at and ridiculed, that she ever after kept her aforestances to herself. But her dream would not down. It became a kind of obsession. Whether it was because her vision was in this misty region while her small body was in the path of rushing traffic in the great city, or whether fate took a hand, there came the awful impact of the automobile, and Hettie knew no more till she awoke in a narrow, white bed, and looked up into the faces of a doctor and nurse. She gazed about for the adopted mother, but there were only nurses moving around the place. Clearly something had happened, and the adopted mother ought to be a part of it. When she tried to move she found it very painful, and she was quite stiff with bandages. She asked for an explanation, and was told she had been struck by an automobile, but that she would be all right in a few days. She asked whose automobile it was, and the nurse answered it was Mrs. Burlson's, a very kind lady who was very sorry, and had brought her there, and told them to do everything they could, and that she would be responsible for the pay. Hettie felt P When payments out of tribal funds authorized by congress at the last session have been completed, including an earlier distribution, the Indians will have received from the government $10,585,688.

Of greater interest, however, is the fact that the American Indian is not only the holder, but also the producer of wealth. He is beginning to put money into the bank himself as well as having the government put it in for him. This is largely the result of a plan to enable him to make use of the natural resources available on the various Indian reservations heretofore utilized to a great extent by white men for their own benefit under the leasing system. Only last week there were put on sale at the Chicago market 50 carlonds of cattle from Indian herds. In many places the Indian has shown that he can- This is largely the result of a plan to enable him to make use of the natural resources available on the various Indian reservations heretofore utilized to a great extent by white men for their own benefit under the leasing system. Only last week there were put on sale at the Chicago market 50 carloads of cattle from Indian herds. In many places the Indian has shown that he cannot only raise cattle, but also obtain the top market price. During the last three years about $4,000,000 has been expended in the purchase of cattle, sheep and horses to stock the Indian ranges. The handling of these herds by the Indians has more than justified the investment. For example, the tribal herd placed on the Crow Indian reservation in Montana in the spring of 1914, at a cost of $405,108, showed a net profit on December 31, 1915, of $297,601. The tribal herd of sheep on the Plearilla reservation showed gross returns in the first year of $17,250 on an investment of $23,477. The live stock on the various Indian reservations is worth more than $28,000,000, as compared with $22,777,075 in 1913. In addition to this increase of more than $5,000,000 in value the Indians have sold $5,498,266 worth of stock and slaughtered $2,307,431 worth for their own needs. As a herdsman the Indian has been particularly successful. The highest price paid on the Chicago market for a grass-fed steer was recently received by an Indian of the Crow tribe on a day when the general market value of the cattle was lower than on other days of the season. Gradually the original unhyphened American is taking possession of his own again. He is managing his own farm and reaping his own harvests. Leases of allotted land decreased in number from 28,847 in 1913 to 10,426 in 1915, a change in acreage of from 3,109,209 to 1,868,779. In 1915 the area of tribal lands leased was 8,122,918 acres. in 1913 was 10,568,948. The Indian is becoming a competitor at the agricultural fair with the white man. He is raising his own supplies, relieving the government to a considerable extent of the necessity of making gratuitous issues of food under treaties to induce him to remain where he is on the reservation instead of reverting to the nomadic habits of his forefathers. Nor is he any longer a vanishing race. The number of Indians increased from 300,930 in 1913 to 309,911 in 1915. Gradually the tendency toward tuberculosis, trachoma and kindred diseases, which prevailed among them to an alarming extent, is being checked. This is due to a medical campaign and the improvement of housing conditions. It appears, therefore, that the turning point in the history of the Indians has been reached. His numbers are increasing, his wealth is growing and he has taken a place among the white men as the producer of wealth in a system of civilization with which his own manner of living was in direct conflict. As farmers, the Indian has shown the white man something worth while, particularly in the growing of corn. It is interesting to note that he planted pumpkins or squash among the corn hillocks, as does the white man now, and also sowed beans where the vines could twine themselves about the cornstalks. sure her dream was coming true, and she asked the nurse when the lady was coming again. "She didn't mention anything about coming again," she answered. Then seeing the girl's disappointed look, she added: "But I dare say she will." "Of course she will," was Hettie's confident reply. Hettie suffered a great deal of pain. But after all, she told herself she must expect that. All the girls on the screen who had acquired adopted mothers, and lived happily ever after, had suffered in some way beforehand. The next day she was told a messenger had come from Mrs. Burlison, and did she wish to see him? Of course she did. A young man came in carrying fruit and flowers. He could not for one minute have been taken for the handsome hero. His face was quite plain, bronzed, lean, and with the disadvantage of a turn-up nose. But his eyes were honest, his mouth kindly, and his form straight, and well knit. He came with a mixture of pity and diffidence to the forlorn little figure on the cot. He told her Mrs. Burlson wanted to know how she was, and had sent her the fruit and flowers. Rather awkwardly he told her how sorry he was. Then Hettie noticed he wore a chauffeur's dress, and guessed he was the one who ran her down. But she was too busy thinking of Mrs. Burlson to bear him any grudge, and she asked him when the lady was coming? He did not seem to know, but said he would tell Mrs. Burlson that she would like to see her. The chauffeur came every day to see her. The second time it was out of town, but that she had left word for him to inquire every day about Miss Hettie Baxter. She found out his name was Julius Frost, and was always glad to see him, because he brought some message from her probable adopted mother. Julius was at first so filled with remorse at having driven over the girl, he was more awkward than usual in expressing himself, but after a time this wore off a bit, and he cheered the patient with jolly stories, and cheering promises, of how he wanted to take her for some rides in that very car when she was able to go. All this seemed in Hettie's mind to point to the fact of a probable adoption into the family. At last one day Mrs. Burlson came, She was a very pretty, beautifully gowned young woman, much too young to be thought of as a mother, even an adopted one, and she spoke to Hettie in a cold patronizing way that so crushed and disappointed the girl, that Julius found her in tears. He was so kindly sympathetic that he drew from her the cause. She had hoped to find some one who would want her, even take her in her home—as her own. Then Julius found voice for the words he had wanted to speak. "Little girl," he said, "I want you awfully. I'd take better care of you than Mrs. Burlson. It wouldn't be lots of money, but it would be a comfy little flat for you and me. And she never could love you half as much as I do." The answer must have been quite satisfactory, for the day Hettie was able to leave the hospital-on the arm of Julius, she was heard to say softly to him: "Honey, this beats getting adopted like dollars do coppers." VESSEL IN CONSTANT PERIL Any Moment May Be the Last of Ship That Braves the Terrors of the Arctic Seas. "Any vessel navigating in arctic waters may at any time be crushed so suddenly that nothing below can be saved. At Etah," Robert E. Peary writes in the Century, "I have always made preparations for such an emergency, and had all the pemmican, tea, coffee, biscuits, sugar, oil, ammunition—in fact, all the essentials necessary to sustain life and health—placed on deck close to the rail, where it could easily be thrown off to the ice. In addition to this, the whale-boats, fully equipped for a week or ten days' voyage, were ready at a moment's notice to be lowered. Each boat, besides the required complement of oars, oarlocks, boathooks, a liquid compass and a bailer, contained pemmican, conveniently packed in six-pound tins; biscuits, 50 pounds; coffee, 10 pounds; compressed tea, 5 pounds; sugar, 10 pounds; condensed milk 10 cans; oil, 5 gallons; a small oilstove, 1 rifle and 100 cartridges; 1 shotgun and 5 shells; 1 box of matches in a tightly corked bottle; 1 hatchet; knives; a can opener; needles and thread, and medical supplies consisting of quinine, astringent, bandages, cotton, gauze, boracle acid, dusting powder, catgut and lilinment. And every member of the party, including the Eskimos, had a small bundle of extra clothing packed and stood ready to leave the ship immediately after throwing off the supplies and lowering the boats." He Was On His Way. McCrea worked in a powder factory, and usually went home to meals with his chum, O'Reilly. The latter was going alone to dinner the other day, when McCrea's wife, meeting him, asked: "Where's himself that he's not wid you today, Mr. O'Reilly?" "Shure an' didn't he have the factory in a great hurry an hour ago, ma'am," answered O'Reilly. "An' did he say where he was goin'?" she inquired. "Not a word did he say," answered O'Reilly; "nor I don't think he knew himself—till he struck the match. Then he went off wid the roof an' half of the factory."

Z WOMEN DO THEIR SHARE In one of the passages from the description of the raid made by General Sullivan on the Five Nations in his memorable punitive expedition during the Revolutionary war, it is set forth that among the rows of corn were found cucumbers and watermelons so delicious that the raiders sat down to eat of them, even though the hour was two o'clock in the morning. The Indians introduced melons of all kinds from southern climes, and by extreme care adapted them to northern temperatures. It was after the advent of Columbus that the Indians of this continent became proficient in the cultivation of the "Irish" potato. The tuber was brought from the Andean heights by Spanish adventurers and was introduced in the Southern part of the United States. Before the American Revolution, however, the Indian experts were developing many varieties of it and the Iroquois were especially proficient as growers of the root, of which there are about 200 varieties. Potato meal was originally an Indian product. Yams and sweet potatoes were raised in abundance. The Indian farmer also raised many kinds of vegetables and was experimenting with many others before the advent of the European races. Washington, D. C.—An expedition organized by the bureau of American ethnology of the Smithsonian institution and the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation of New York City, under the immediate direction of Mr. F. W. Hodge, ethnologist in charge of the bureau mentioned, has just concluded its first season of excavating among the ruins of Hawkilu in western New Mexico. This pueblo was one of the famed "Seven Cities of Cibola," which was seen by Marcos de Niza, a Franciscan friar, in 1539, and was the scene of the death of his negro guide and companion. In the following year the pueblo was stormed by Francisco Vasquez Coronado, the celebrated Spanish explorer, who almost lost his life in the attack. The Zuntl occupants of Hawkilu fled to their stronghold a few miles away; the Spanish took possession of their village, which Coronado called Grenada, and while there wrote his report to the viceroy of Mexico, giving an account of his expedition up to that time and sending various products of the country and examples of native art. The excavations were commenced at the close of May by Mr. Hodge, assisted by Mr. Alanson Skinner and Mr. E. F. Coffin of the Museum of the American Indian. Work was begun in a great refuse heap forming the western slope of the elevation on which Hawikuh is situated. This refuse was found to contain many burials of Zunl dead, of which there were three types—remains cremated and deposited in chernery vessels accompanied by food and water vessels; others buried at length, or in abnormal postures without accompaniments; and usually dismembered; others still deposited at length with head directed eastward and with them numerous vessels of earthware, great quantities of food, and the personal tools and ornaments of the deceased. In all, 237 graves were opened during the three months devoted to the work in which quantities of pottery vessels of various forms and with a great range of decorative painting, were uncovered. Among burials of the third type mentioned were several skeletons of members of the Zunl Priesthood of the Bow, with their war paraphernalia, including bows and arrows, sacred paint, war clubs, and their personal or ceremonial belongings. A Franciscan mission was established at Hawlukh in 1639 and continued in operation until 1670, when the pueblo was abandoned on account of Apache depredations. Considering the length of time since the village was forsaken by its inhabitants, the remains were in a remarkably good state of preservation. The deposit of great quantities of food in the graves, especially bolled corn on the cob, had the effect of decaying the bones but of preserving the materials that usually more readily perish, such as baskets, fabrics, and objects of wood, many of which were saved by immediate treatment. Many very beautiful things HATROWING ON HORSEBACK The tomato, which is of South American origin, was on his list. Although he did not have onions, he was gathering many kinds of flower bulbs, such as lilies, and using them in soups. The Indian dietary included the greens cooked with a piece of fat meat, Sumac, sorrel, milkweed, yellow dock and dandelion were also on his menu. He was gathering mushroom and puffballs and other fungi. In fact, the Indian was able at all times to give to the strangers from beyond the great water a revised menu. The peanut, which is now so plentifully sold here, was considered a valuable food product by the Indians. The American apple owes much to the care of the Indian farmers, for the Indian was an able pomologist. It was not unusual 150 years ago for Indian orchards to have 1,500 trees, all of which had been duly pruned and cultivated by the people we are prone to regard as nomadic savages. To the world the Indian introduced such fruits as the persimmon, the pawpaw, the pineapple and the Virginia strawberry. Primitive as the manual part of the farming of the Indians may seem, their agriculture did very well with the facilities which were available. Science points strongly to the theory that the horse had its origin in this Western world, but the animal disappeared many aeons before the aborigines appeared. The Indian had neither horses nor bullocks, and had he developed a plow he would have had no animals to draw it. He had no wheels, rakes or such devices, for the wheel had never been in use among primitive races of the Americans. The dog-drawn litter, or travols, was about as near as the Indian ever got to a wagon. His agricultural implements were few and simple. What with his hoe and mattock, his willow rake and his planting stick, he had run the gamut of tools. What he lacked in equipment he made up in enthusiasm and skill. s Ruins in New Mexico found in association with the remains include eight objects of turquoise mosaic, consisting of ornamental hair combs, ear pendants, and hair ornaments, some of which are so well executed as to be among the finest examples of encrusted turquoise ever found in America, and far exceeding the mosaic work of the Hopi Indians in Arizona today. Of the fabrics, various examples were recovered, and indeed in one instance the clothing of a woman was so well preserved that it was possible to study the character of her dress from neck to feet. found in association with the remains include eight objects of turquoise mosaic, consisting of ornamental hair combs, ear pendants, and hair ornaments, some of which are so well executed as to be among the finest examples of encrusted turquoise ever found in America, and far exceeding the mosaic work of the Hopi Indians in Arizona today. Of the fabrics, various examples were recovered, and indeed in one instance the clothing of a woman was so well preserved that it was possible to study the character of her dress from neck to feet. The pottery of the Hawikuh people, as mentioned, possesses a wide range of decoration and coloring. Most of the designs are geometric, but numerous highly conventionalized figures of birds, as well as many lifelike forms of quadrupeds, the eagle, the butterfly, the tadpole, and the corn plant were found. Many of the vessels are decorated with a distinct glaze, black and green predominating. The vessels consist chiefly of bowls, ranging in size from tiny toy affairs to some as large as 15 inches in diameter; but there are also large and small water jugs, and black, undecorated cooking pots, duck-shaped vessels, and the like. The finds include, among others, the ceremonial paraphernalia of a medicine man, comprising his medicines; a turkey's egg containing the bones of the embryo and accompanied by a food bowl; several skeletons of eagles, turkeys, and dogs that had been ceremonially buried, and deposits of pottery that had been broken in sacrifice and deposited in the cemetery not as burial accompaniments. It was the custom of the Zunis of Hawkuku to "kill" all the vessels deposited with their dead by throwing them into the graves, and this was likewise the case with other household utensils, such as metates and manos used in grinding corn. Some of the vessels escaped injury, while all of the fragments of the broken ones were carefully gathered and will be repurposed.

The site of Hawikuh covers an area of about 750 by 850 feet, so that only a comparatively small part of the site was excavated during this season. The refuse was found to attain a depth of $14\frac{1}{2}$ feet in the western slope, and it will probably be found to reach a depth of at least 18 feet before the walls of the summit of the elevation are reached. An interesting discovery consists of the remains of many walls entirely beneath this great deposit of refuse, showing that the site was occupied in prehistoric times long before Hawikuh itself was built.

FITZWATER, D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Copyright, 1817, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR OCTOBER 7 PSALMS OF DELIVERANCE. LESSON TEXT—Psalms 85 and 126. GOLDEN TEXT—They that sow in tears shall reap in joy—Psalms 126.5. These Psalms breathe the spirit of the true patriot. The Psalmist sees his afflicted country suffering for the sins of the people, prays for their restoration to the Divine favor, and with the eagle eye of faith anticipates the joyful day of spiritual and temporal blessings because of restoration to the Divine favor. Doubtless such patriotism would be pleasing to the Lord on the part of us all. Psalm 85. 1. Praises for Mercies Received (vv. 1-3). Praise is given for (1) Deliverance from Captivity (v. 1). He had in mind the specific mercies of a given time; perhaps it was one of the oppressions of the Philistines from which they had been delivered. (2) Forgiveness of Sin (vv. 2, 3). "Thou hast forgiven the iniquity—covered all their sin." God's restoration was the proof that he had pardoned. Great indeed was the sin of Jacob, but God's forgiveness was greater. He is peculiarly a God of mercy. Having forgiven the sins his anger is taken away. He stayed his hand from the judgment which would have justly fallen, to show his mercy. II. Prayer for Restoration From Backsliding (vv. 4-7). He knew how worthless the outward blessings of the Lord would be unless the people inwardly turned to the Lord. He, therefore, besought the Lord to give them the greater blessing, that of a change of heart. Without the change of heart forgiveness would be futile. A change of heart can only be by God's help. (1) That God would turn the hearts of his people toward himself (v. 4). Knowing the people's utter helplessness to turn to God, he cried out to God to save them by turning them to himself. He knew that God's anger could not turn from the people as long as they were impenitent. (2) That God would take away the very remembrance of their sins (vv. 5-7). (a) The ending of his anger (v. 5). The desire seems to be that he would wipe out the very marks of his displeasure by not longer allowing punishment to be meted out to them. (b) The return to the people's joy (v. 6). Their joy could only be realized through a revival from God. The Psalmist now becomes more bold in his requests. (c) Shall show them mercy (v. 7). "Make it visible," is his cry. God's judgment was most real. His desire is that his mercy would be just as real. III. Exultant Anticipation (vv. 8-13). Having spoken the sentiment of the repentant people, the poet expresses confidence of the Lord's response. So faithful is God that those who sincerely pray to him can go forward with the assurance of petitions granted. (1) "He will speak peace" (v. 8) He knew that a gentle answer would come, but its continuance would depend upon the fidelity of the people. Turning to folly would provoke again his wrath. (2) Will bring his salvation near (v. 9). Only as his salvation was near could glory be in the land. (3) Devise a way by which "Mercy and truth," "Righteousness and peace," may be united (vv. 10, 11). He did not suggest a way. He may not have known it. Faith now sees the way in Christ. In him such a union has been blessedly effected. (4) The land shall become fruitful (v. 11). When sin is removed, temporal prosperity shall follow. Earth's barrenness is due to sin. When the curse is removed fruitfulness shall follow. (5) Righteousness shall be the guide of his people (v. 12). In that golden, glad age God's righteous ways will leave a track in which his own may walk with security. Psalm 126. I. The Fact of Zion's Deliverance (vv. 1, 2). (1) By whom (v. 1). The Lord. (2) Effect of (vv. 1, 2). (a) The people were scarcely able to believe it. So sudden and unexpected was their deliverance that it seemed to them as a dream. They expressed their feeling in joyful laughter. (b) The heathen noted their deliverance as marvelous, and ascribed it to God (v. 2). Song and Prayer. II. The Song of the People (v. 3). They ascribed their deliverance to the Lord and expressed their gratitude in singing God's praise. The people cried to God to visit their restoration with fruitfulness, even the streams from the South spread out and make a country fruitful. IV. The Promise (vv. 5, 6). Though the people were still obliged to suffer the consequences of their sins, they were encouraged to go on in sowing though in tears, as the reaping would bring joy.
