MASONS OBSERVED OCCASION THURSDAY NIGHT—NEW TEMPLE ENTERED—MAGNIFICENT PROPERTY—PROMINENT MEN PRESENT. A celebration of St. John's Day of the Masonic fraternity of this city was observed Thursday night. It has been the custom of the Masonic Lodges and the Orders of the Eastern Star to observe this day in Nashville for a number of years, but this year it was practically a double celebration. The day was observed to the home-coming or entrance into the new Masonic Temple, the magnificent property recently purchased, on Fourth avenue made the occasion a notable one. Many of the dignitaries of the order were in attendance. Rev. Presston Taylor, the Worshipful Master of the Eastern Star Lodge, was master ofcemony for the occasion. In response to invitations not only members of the order, but quite a number of visitors and friends were in attendance. Dr. Taylor called the meeting to order at 8:30 c'clock. After stating the purpose of the celebration, he introduced Grand Master Strahorm, who delivered a timely address on the accomplishments of the order. It was then that Grand Secretary, T. B. Hardeman sprang a surprise upon the audience by announcement of Rev. Preston Taylor as Grand Lodge of Masons of Tennessee. Grand Lodge of Masons of Tennessee brought quite a cheer. After this the following speakers were introduced and delivered addresses: Mr. W, W. Williams, G. M. D. D; Mr. T. B. Hardeman, G. S., Prof. Allen, Mr. A. W. Brown, Dr. M. E. Ford, Grand Patron Adams, the head of the Order of Eastern Star; Rev. Henry A. Boyd, H. J. C. Napier, Mr. Reil, the Junior Warden of the Eastern Star Lodge. While the speaking was at height a committee made up of the bishop's lodges served refreshments consisting of sandwiches, coffee, ice cream and sandwiches. While this repast was being enjoyed another surprise awaited the magnificent audience. There burst forth from some unseen place the voices of a hidden choir singing softly but sweetly, "Joy to the World," etc. Every eye was strained and every ear attentive, trying to locate and listen to the splendid muscle that was being made. Finally two double doors swung jar and jar through the church of the Christian Church, led by Mrs. Presson Taylor, marched into the hall as they continued their singing. They were then introduced by the master of ceremony and were served. It developed in the course of the eve ing from the various addresses that the Masonic fraternity of Tennessee boast of being the most substantial of all Orders, in Nashville. They own a Wildows and Orphans' Home located on a tract of land of about forty acres with two magnificent brick structure with two the modern buildings, such as light other equipments. The acquisitions to the hall of the various Lodges and Orders of Eastern Star have added impetus to the work. The grand of officers present, together with the of officers of the various lodges, pledge themselves to take up in a shor while the entire indebtedness. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOL Dr. C. H.

LOVE WINS By Meomarta Clata Rose "All right I will be silent until you have finished." "Well, Milo asked me point blank if I would give you to him." "And what did he say?" cried Clarissa. "You promised not to say one word until I have finished." The judge finished and as he told Clarissa that Milo was coming to pay her a call she tripped upstairs to dress. Clarissa was disappointed for Milo did not come. The night before Milo Davis had been kept waiting until almost three o'clock waiting for his brother. As Milo opened the door, John fell at his door. "John, how could you?" "Aw, don't scold me this time and I will tell you what happened." I will tell you what happened." "Who were you with? I saw the man but did not know him to be one of your friends." "He wasn't my friend until tonight. He is Assistant District Attorney Jones," said John. "And you drank with him? I thought he hated you," said Milo in surprise. "He did until tonight. He asked about you. He said he heard you were going to get married." Milo left his brother and went to his room. The next morning John was too ill to go to his office. A few evenings after the preceding events the judge said to Clarissa: "Clar, I want you to meet a friend of mine." "What's his name, father?" "Alvin Jones. He is a lawyer. He is going tomorrow evening." Clarissa was desirous to meet her father's friend for the judge talked so much of him. When Attorney Jones came the judge said, "This is my daughter," and Clarissa raised her head with a charming smile. "I am glad to meet my father's friend. You have never been to see us before." "I've never been asked. I think I almost had to ask this time." I almost had to ask this time. "Well," Jones said rather slow, "fathers don't keep their girls long after they are nineteen or twenty." The judge laughed and said in a disgusted tone, "If I keep Clar until she is twenty I will be the luckiest man in New York." The evening John accepted an in- vitation to dine with Jones. At the table Jones offered John Davis the wine list. Shaking his head John replied: "Thanks, but this time I won't drink." "Quite a sudden resolution. I guess that brother of yours has a lot of influence over you, has he not?" "Yes he has and I promised him I would not drink any more. If any one makes him a promise they have NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1917. Vicksburg, Miss., Dec. 22nd—With the rank of general chaplain, Rev. Emerick W. Moore, D. D., of Columbus, Ohio, has been appointed by President Edw. P. Jones to represent the denomination in a religious and spiritual way at all army canonments. In making this appointment President Jones advises Dr. Moore in a speech as follows: "During our recent visit to Washington and after a visit to the various departments, I was impressed as never before of the grave conditions that confront our nation. The churches must not fail in this hour to make certain and permanent her teachings as handed down for centuries. Our boys who leave these shores for the trenches will need inspiration and courage and I have come to the conclusion, after prayerful the study and to study, that will allow us to have theATIVE of our convention as general chaplain and see to it that every canonment in this country is visited and that every soldier shall hear the gospel of the Son of Christ. Just at this time when there is a general depression and a want of enthusiasm on the part of many, I believe you are thoroughly competent and able to quicken the ideas of patriotism and to make sure the loyalty of our troops. I am taking the liberty to mention the ideas of Washington, D. C., of your appointment and am requesting that he take this matter up with the Honorable Secretary of War. EDWARD P. JONES." It will be at a glance that in the appointment of Dr. Moore, the president of the Queens Mission looked ahead for a capable man to do the spiritual work that it deems necessary to be done in the camps. Dr. Moore, it is learned, has already visited a number of the camps and delivered stirring sermons and participated in many activities. At present he is the pastor of the Second Baptist Church of Columbus. For eighteen years he was the pastor of the Zion Baptist Church of Philadelphia, Pa. He is also the vice president of the National Baptist Convention and is regarded as one of the ripe scholars of the denomination. Only recently at Columbus he was appointed by the mayor as a member of the Vice Commission, being the only member of the race on the commission. It is understood that Dr. Moore in accepting the appointment will not relinquish charge of the church, but that the church will give him a leave of absence to visit these camps. a hard job on their hands to break it." "This speech went home to Jone's heart, and he did not mention Milo's name again that day. He was trying to think of a plan to turn Clarissa against Milo. CHAPTED IV. During the winter months Milo would meet Clarissa at different teardrops and they would spend happy evenings together. One evening as she passed through the corridor on her way out of a building to wait for Milo, she was attracted by, a very beautiful woman gazing in her direction. There was a look in the woman's dark eyes which puzzled Clarissa, for she was sure she did not know the woman, but the woman did not forget her. But the woman did not forget her. She started to follow Clarissa but instead said with a frown on her face: "So she is the girl he loves. She is very beautiful, the kind man love, but I would give my life to have him for my own." The woman had said this with her hands in her face. Presently a maid came in and asked her if she was ill or could she do anything for her at which she replied. "No." After the maid gone the woman went in the direction she had seen Clarissa go. In another part of the city a very beautiful dark woman walked up and down a long room. She seemed to be nervous but she was in a deep state of worry for many a big splendid fellow, who had been her all for many years. Suddenly she heard him coming up the steps. As he entered she said, "Alvin, dear I thought you would never come. Dinner has been on the table such a length of time." "I couldn't get here any earlier, Atrell, and you are very lucky to have me here at all," replied Jones. "Now, Atrell I want to talk to you about our affairs. You see we have been friends for a long time and you know such things must end one way or the other. There are times when a man goes wrong." Do you think our love is wrong?" asked Atrell. "No, not that especially that. Well, after a fellow has done all he can, then he must marry. I mean unless two people like you and me wish to end an affair of this kind in marriage then the sooner we break off, the better." Then do you want to marry me?" asked the woman. "As much as I might like to marry you I could not if I wished, because it is impossible." "You told me as soon as you were made assistant district attorney, you would pay me. You had that position for almost a year." "I know I have, Atrell, and I appreciate that you have been the best girl in the world, but I cannot marry you. I must marry some one else," replied Jones. "After giving you the best years of my life, and being with you constantly, you are going to marry another? Will you please tell me why?" "Don't ask me why. It is a matter of necessity." "Do you think I am going to be satisfied with that reason which is THIRTY-DAY BOOSTING CONTEST LAUNCHED—FIFTY NEW MEMBERS GOAL—TWO TEAMS—RED AND WHITE—WHITES WON—GRAND CHANCELLOR PRESENT. Stringer Lodge No. 6, K. of E, gave a smoker at their hall on Thursday night, Dec. 7th. It was the launching of a thirty days' campaign put on by the lodge for the purpose of securing fifty new members. Chancellor Commander John Cunningham, assisted by a committee consisting of Knights A. J. Joran, W. L. Morris and W. L. Blake, had worked out a program, which, in itself had injected quite a deal of highly rivalry for the occasion. The team, under apportioned teams, the red and the white, and it planned that the team selling the larger number of tickets, the proceeds of which were to go to the smoker, would be the honored team and the leader was to be given a free ride from Fifth avenue down Cedar street to the hall in a wheelbarrow, which was to be pushed by the leader of the team losing. The white was the victor, the red the vanquished. A wheelbarrow was borrowed of John Cunningham and the losing side bravely patched them amid the cheers of the enthusiastic members and friends of the Stringer Lodge. Chancellor Commander Cunningham, after they had arrived at the hall, rapped the lodge to order and squeezed sausages pau paragau sausages were at once served. It was a three course menu, after which cigars in abundance were passed. After all had feasted and the members of the lodge watched the curls of smoke ascend to the ceiling, a volley of oratory was turned loose. The first speaker called was Sir Knight Fenroy, who told of the struggles of Stringer Lodge and gave a graphic description of the purpose of the smoker and the campaign. He was followed by Sir Knight Reuben Richardson, further told of the work of Pythianism in the lodge. At this point Chancellor Commander Cunningham, in a spacen well titting the occasion, refreshed his years of work in the Pythian Lodge and referred beautifully to many stalwart men who had assisted him. In closing, he introduced G. C. J. P. Crawford, who spoke from the street, "Let It Be Perpetuated." For thirty years he paid glowing tribute to the pioneer Pythians, referring to the late Sir Knights Tyrese, the founder of Stringer Lodge, Knowles, Boyd Cockrell and Cansler. He declared in conclusion that Pythianism was in the ascendency. Other speakers who were heard were Knight J. C. Napier, Grand Attorney; Knight A. N. Johnson, Grand Clerk; Knight A. W. Johnson, Grand Clerk; Knight J. P. Porter, Deputy; Knight Knight C. H. A. Royd, of the Uniform Rank and Knight D. W. Berry. Throughout the addresses each speaker told of his connection with the Order of charity, friendship and benevolence. Stringer Lodge is regarded as one of the strongest numerically and financially in the city, claiming a membership of 170. It is about twenty-two years old, and its goal of fifty members is reached it will put them ahead of any lodge in Tennessee. It was about midnight when the smoke or oratory cleared away and Chancellor Commander Cunningham rapped for order. The closing ode was sung and the benediction pronounced, pulling down the curtain upon the opening scene of what the members of the lodge declared will be the greatest campaign for membership in the city. none at all?" asked Atrell. "You must be satisfied with what I tell you because you can't control my actions." "No, Alvin, I don't want to control your actions and I want to do what you tell me, but it seems horrid when I think how long you have been mine and now you are going to marry another." "But there is an end to every thing, replied Jones. "But, John (To be continued next month.) (Title has been changed from "Convict 999" to "Love Wins.") FROM PEARL HIGH SCHOOL THE DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS. This department being considered somewhat of a difficult branch, one would imagine that it was not very popular among the students, but not so. When opportunity was given for dropping the subject and taking up English instead, the pupils showed good judgment. In learning this branch, that they may obtain the discipline needed hereafter in the various walks of life. To see them demonstrating problems in Geometry, or solving Algebraic puzzles would delight you. It is not impossible to prepare and encourage the brightest minds to go a step further in higher mathematics, even at the study of engineering. This department is under the charge of Prof. G. E.

Prof. Cameron had been a teacher or science or a number of years and the changes in the interior of both pupils and parents. In the first year of high school the study of science is taken up in the pursuance of Physical Geography. This subject deals with the composition of the soils and rocks, the reason and result of the changes in the external shape of the earth; the causes of the changes in the appearance of the mountains, in the turned courses of rivers, and the results of these changes in the student. The mediation of this book gives an elemen- tary knowledge of Physical Geography and the pupils are left with a male understanding of this subject. During the second year high school chemistry is studied. This science treats with the composition of substances and the changes which they undergo. It defines energy matter, the law of the conservation of matter and elements. The gases and their compounds and the properties of these are studied. As the question of what should be included in an elementary text on chemistry is a perplexing one, only such principles are represented as are within the understanding of a student. In the third year Physics is studied. Physics is often defined as the science concerned with energy. matter is everything which changes properties of matter, motion, mechanics of fluids and solids are all studied on an elementary basis. This subject is studied so that the pupils may gain from it some useful acquisitions for daily life and are also prepared for a continuance of this subject in college. ELMOR BRYANT, Senior B Grade. ECHOES FROM THE LATIN DE- PARTMENT. The study of Latin is directed towards two principal ends, and these WATCH THAT GET TOGETHER PRO PROSITION By R. B. Porter. In scanning the columns of the many denominational papers (Baptist) that we have on exchange in the office, noticing, particularly the different writers upon the great controversy that is nation wide in its scope and too, to say that it is a controversy that has eaten into the very vitals of our denominational life it wounds be making a statement that is foreign to truth for those of us who have searched carefully the word sweep, title and its destructiveness have wondered and contemplated when and where the end would come and be, but taking all of this in consideration, we would do well to go slow and consider carefully every step upon that get together proposition, remembering that it was not men that caused our seperation, but measures not suppositions but facts, not trifles but principals. There are several brethren writing upon the propose peace idea or in other words the get-to-gether idea, suggesting a compromise. Let us consider what a compromise means. In a sense it means a sacrifice of some contention or principal that the two conending factions have been holding on to, and claiming the righteousness of the stand taken, or in other words it means giving and taking. The reader here will not mistake the spirit of the scribe of these lines to be opposing the coming together of this our great Baptist Zion, for no man in the denomination would rejoice more when the day comes that we can Baptistically scripturally and consistently get together, but we do here and now enter our most serious protest upon coming together on the proposition of a compromise for the reason principle do not change, they will be the same throughout time and eternity. We have been saying and still saying that our brethren who may be regarded as our opponent, disregarded, ignored and set aside some of the fundamental principle of the Baptist Church for which the father died and run rough shod over the prerogatives of theodox Baptist preacher and layman, and set at the sovereignty of the church coupled with the spirit of destructive ness along with the ambition of be coming church dictators and bosses. We protested against such a proce dure and declared ourselves in favor of the above named things what they ignored and the spirit with which they are possessed. If we were right then we are right now. Then we ask the question what have we to sacrifice, what have we to offer then as a compromise? A getting together upon a compromise, to my way of thinking it doesn't mean a substantial peace. There isn't but the one way of getting together so that we might stay together and that is, for the man or men who are wrong and have sense and religion enough to see their wrongs and confess them. The burden of truth as to who is wrong and as to who is right will be brought out in my next article, for we shall endeavor to give to the public several article son this subject. -The People's Defender. should be always before the pupil's minds. First: Latin is the very best subject to develop the agility of the pupil's mind; to make it more ready, more logical in its working and more systematic in its method of discovering or establishing a truth. In short, the study of Latin gives the pupil a broader mental vision. Secondly, on account of the large number of English words derived from the Latin, some without undergoing any change, Latin is an almost unequaled instrument for teaching the mother tongue. The daily drill of translating Latin sentences into correct English sentences will give the pupil more practical English in his Latin than in his English classes, and the importance of Latin in a scheme of education will be more than justified.

"The very fact that this front line Sunday school builder has been secured for this occasion guarantees that every Sunday school worker in these parts will get new inspiration. While we have been planning for him on several occasions, it was the first open he could give us for the east. Given York will give this Congress bureau in entertainment, a reception and an audience that are deserving his worth," Dr. Brown, Superintendent Hunter of the Sun day school stated it was not a probable that Secretary Boyd would on his return south make a number of stops, including Jersey City, Newark, Philadelphia, Washington and Pittsburg, but that his objective point would be the missionary rally at the Metropolitan.

Follow them for they bring good news and glad tidings concerning loved ones who are now at war for you and me. Follow them and support them with your best wishes, your applause and your pocketbooks.

He must be jack of all trades, or else he will go down like the Titanic, because these doctors have made a reputation here and intend to hold it.

C., Dec. 24, 1917. Greetings of the Season; The world is engulfed in the red ruin of war. The present titanic conflict is not due to the inherent devilty of one nation or the innate goodness of another. The accumulative ethical energies of society for generations have been dammed up by the barrier of hatred and greed. The stored up power is now breaking through the barrier with catalytic outburst. The social fabric is being shaken to its very foundation. As outcome of the war the adjustment of the social structure will be more radical than that effected by the French Revolution. The transforming effect upon the status of the Negro will be scarcely less momentous than the Emancipation Proclamation. the democratization of the world, coined as a fitting phrase, will be translated into actuality. The Declaration of Independence, penned by a slave holder, sounded the deathknell of slavery, although three-quarters of a century elapsed between promise and fulfillment. The democratization of the world is but a restatement of this doctrine in terms of present day attitude of the world. Political autocracy and race autocracy will be buried in the same grave. Hereafter, no nation however strong, will be permitted to override a weaker neighbor by sheer dominance of power; and no race will be permitted to impose a ruthless regime upon the weaker breeds of men through sheer assumption of superiority. Hereafter, England will treat the East Indians; Turkey, the Armenians; Russia the Jews; and America, the Negroes, with a fuller measure of justice and consideration than heretofore. The peoples of all lands who are heavy laden and overborne will be the chief beneficiaries of this war.] The Negro problem is involved in the problem of humanity. The whole is greater than any of its parts. The Negro will share in the general momentum imported to social welfare. Already, he has been admitted to industrial opportunity in the north with manifest reaction upon the harsh regime of the south. National prohibition, which is borne forward on the wave of the world war, will immensely improve his moral status Eighty thousand Negro soldiers have been enlisted and seven hundred Negroes have been commissioned as officers in the army of the United States. A Negro has been made assistant cabinet officer whose function is to adjust harmoniously the race's relation to the pending struggle. The improved attitude of the white race toward the Negro is apparent in two affirmative decisions rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States with unanimous concurrence. The Negro will emerge from this war with a double portion of privilege and opportunity. Every Negro should be loyal and patriotic, although there are injustices and discriminations which try our souls. If we overcome, these trials and tribulations will work out a more exceeding weight of advantage. But if we allow them to overcome us, woeful will be our lot indeed. To stand sulkily by in plaintive aloofness, because of just grievances would be of the same kind of folly as to refuse to help extinguish a conflagration which threatens the destruction of one's native city because he has a complaint against the fire department. Let us help put out the conflagration which threatens the world, and then make the world our lasting debtor. We must stand shoulder to shoulder with our white fellow citizens to fight for the freedom of the world, and then we must hold them to moral consistency of maintaining a just and equitable regime inside of that circle. Democracy like charity should begin at home, or at least it should prevail there. Let us fight to the finish to the effect that no nation shall hereafter dare to attempt to make an international treaty a scrap of paper. It must therefore follow then, as corollary, that no nation will henceforth allow its own constitution, which is an itra-national treaty, to be made a scrap of paper. The tide of democracy is sweeping through the world like a mighty river. The race problem and other social illies are but as marshes, backwaters, stagnant pools, estuaries, which have been shut off from tree circulation with the main current. But the freshet of freedom is now overflowing its bed and purifying all the starmant waters in its onward sweep to the ocean of human liberty and brotherhood. Fortune indeed are we to be borne forward upon its beneficent bosom at such a time as this. KELLY MILLER, Howard University, Washington, D.C. THE WOMAN'S MISSIONARY BAP- TIST CITY UNION. The Woman's Missionary Baptist City Union will hold their quarterly meeting at 2:00 p. m., at the Mt. Bethel Baptist Church, Cowan Street, East Nashville, Rev. D. A.

The presidents of the local auxiliaries and their members are requested to be present and don't forget the linen shower for the National Baptist Theological Seminary. Each one is requested to bring something for this worthy enterprise. We are asking that each officer be on hand that we may help formulate plans that we may by divine aid be enabled to raise our standard a little higher this incoming year.

The Assembly room of the Negro Public Library was filled Sunday evening, December 23, to listen to the program prepared by the Forward Quest Girls, the three circles uniting in their first public meeting. Approaching the Christmas season, an effort was made in order that every one present might have the "Xmas. Spirit" and pass it on to others. A pantomine, "The Shepherd and the wise men" was rendered by the young ladies who were assisted by Rev. T. M. Brumfield, who read the story from the Bible as it was being acted out. Musical numbers were appropriately interspersed by Walden College, Treble Clef, Miss Selene McGavoc, Mrs. H. A. Cameron, Miss Marea Coombs, Dr. I. H. Martin and A. L. Davis. At the end of this prayer was offered and Dr. J. C. Caldwell talked on the meaning of the "Christmas Spirit." A gold link was presented Miss Matte Moore, who brought in the highest number of members in the recent campaign. An offering of $7.15 was taken for the milk and ice fund for babies. Miss Diggs of Fisk University rendered a vocal selection. Christmas baskets were sent to the Shut—Ins Xmas Day by the Big Sisters. 5,000 AGENTS WANTED.

In the course of life strange things occasionally happen, and yet amid all the unusual happenings and hardships there is a continual tendency on the part of the common masses of our people to indulge in the wastefulness. There is a habitual practice of non-economic traits which are daily bringing us to the door of famine. Christmas days are among the principal poetic's of our indulgent career. It is a time when everybody is inclined to let go all serious thinking and thoughtlessly and uneconomically go out for a joy that afterwards proves detrimental to 99 per cent of the participants, and yet the meaning in many cases is good, but oh how badly misapplied? The writer at this time himself has a few of the constant habits practiced by his people and which if eliminated would helpful not only to us as a mass but as a race and as a nation. Let us beware of expensive gifts, expensive trips and living livish. let us see to it that all we give and take be something of material and economic value. What material value can a young lady get of a diamond ring? Would it not be better that she get the price of that ring in fuel, food or wearing garments? And if the young man deems it out of place to present the ady fuel, food or garments, let us sense and get together and make up a few Christmas baskets for the poor and needy or for our boys in the training camps or in the waiting trenches. And if this is not feasible, go to the bank and tell the receiving teller that you want to begin an account for yourself or some one less fortunate than yourself. Do something that will count. Avoid "big trips, we need the money at home and if we do not, our friends do. Let us cease living ahead of ourselves. How often use it to see a poor Negro girl when she uses a little town or a home wearing a $50 diamond ring it shows that somebody is not thinking and that somebody is going hungry and naked because somebody did not think. Avoid buying trash on the trains; salted peanuts, candy, cracker jack popcorn. The writer noticed a few days ago that about one dozen men and boys sitting on a train between Knoxville and Nashville made themselves a nuisance buying crackerjack popcorn, peanuts, candy, and other trash for chronic indigestion, and which when eaten would leave the man a certain class of our peanuts. The fact is, a much trash, waste too much money in cheap jewelry, or buy so much expensive stuff that they are either always un against a strain or suffering in want. At this particular time when the world is in a distressful condition, every man, woman and child, irrespective of race or condition, ought to do his or her best thinking and acting. We should let all of our thinking and acting be concrete, for we have no dream of what we will bring us to. The year 1918 is a wilted year, when we have lived to see should the Almighty permit us, we can only look back over a bloody year, whose records show many pools of blood, and many bereaved homes.

Yes, this is Christmas and we are blessed to see it, and if it is a perilous one. But let us look on the bright side. Let us face it with smiles and grateful tears, "for God is moving on." Let us do a new and noble deed. Let us do three things of everyday life. Let us assemble so much of that old dimeway of celebrating the day on which our King was born. Let us, like the wise men, follow that morning star that we may be led to a lowly manger to behold an exalted Chief, and how may we do it? By helping those whom we see standing in need. By being economical in all things. By laying aside folly and frivolity. This is magnificent, magnificent, and yet behind this crowning, we are smiling face of a Judge whose deep will be to the interest of all mankind. Mark it. There is a bright day a coming by. And by. Let us bear the conditions with fortitude, for when these perils are over the millions of sons of men who have longed for a happy future shall see it face to face. NEGROES WIN. Baltimore, Md., Dec. 25.—The recent decision of Judge Rose in the United States District Court, preventing the local authorities from interfering with colored people who move into "white" blocks is gratifying to the race here. The decision was in the case of Dr. William T. Coleman, who moved into 2032 McCulloh street. The police, despite the United States Supreme Court had only a few hands handed down a decision knocking out segregation, arrested Dr. Coleman. he refused to give halls in the police court, and Attorney Warner T. McGuinn applied to the United States Court for a writ of habeas corpus releasing the physician. When the case was argued before Judge Rose, City Solicitor Field contended that the local segregation law was not abolated by the decision of the United States Court. Attorney McGuinn made no other evidence, and Judge Rose decided the case in consonance with his views. The decision means that colored people will, as formerly, be able to buy property all over the city for residential purposes, and thus escape the poverty of white landlords since the segregation law has been in operation. Baltimore, Md. Dec. 26.—The Colored Young Men's Christian Association is in the midst of a camaign to raise $10,000 toward its new building fund. The site has been raised for a $100,000 building on Drudl Hill avenue. A law was held at Bethel A. M. E. Church Wednesday evening of last week. Addresses were delivered by Francis A. White, president of the Central Y. M. C. A.; Harry T. Pratt, chairman of the campaign committee; S. S. Booker, general secretary of the local association; Dr Jesse E. Moorland and John H. Murphy, who presided. Dr Moorland told of the work that the Y. C. A. is doing for the colored men of the country, especially in the army. He asserted that this is a time when young colored men and women should be prepared to permanently fill the many positions that have come to the race since the world war started. Many stopped to congratulate Dr. Moorland for having just passed his twenty-fifth year as a worker for the Y. Y. The Rev. Walter Payne Stanley, of this city, will shortly sail for East Africa, where he will enter Y. M. C. A. work. Owing to a severe cold Rev. W. Sampson Brooks was compelled to dample his congregants the gatherer at Bethel A. M. E. Church to hear him preach on "Jerusalem" last Sunday night. INCOME TAX. In a communication received by this paper, Collector of Internal Revenue E. B. Craig announces that a Federal Income Tax Officers will be at collector's office and will be here continuously. he will have his office in Nashville in the Stahlman Building, and will be there every day ready and willing to help persons subject to the income tax make out their returns without any cost to them for their services. How many income tax payers will there be in Davidson county? If you can guess how many married persons living with wife or husband will have net incomes or $2,000 or over each year, the hummingbird will have net incomes of $1,000 or over this year, then you know. The Collector of Internal Revenue estimates that there will be 5,880 taxpayers in this county. Returns of income for the year 1917 must be made on forms provided for the purpose before March 1st, 1918. Because a good many people don't understand it the law and won't know how to make out their returns, the Government is sending in this expert to do it for them. But the duty is on the taxpayer to make himself known to the Government. If he doesn't make return as required before March 1st, he may have to pay a penalty ranging from $20 to $1,000, pay a fine or go to jail. So if you don't want to take chances on going to work, you better call on the income tax officer. If you don't care about being subject to the tax they ask him and make sure. Whether you see the income tax man or not, you must make return if subject to tax. Of course, persons resident in other counties may, if they want to, come and see the Income Tax man at this point. The Collector suggests that everybody start figuring up now his income and expenses so as to be ready with the figures when the expert arrives. Expenses, however, don't mean family expenses, money used to pay off the principal of a debt, new machinery, buildings, or anything like that. They mean what you spend in making a house cost, taxes paid, hired help, mount a garden, seed, stock bought for feeding, rent (except for your dwellings), etc. Income includes about every dollar you get.

New York Office, Frost and Frost Swisswich Building Chicago Office, Frost and Frost, Adver- sising Building Minneapolis Office, Frost and Frost, Candle- dellinah Nashville Office, Frost and Frost, Indi- dent Life Building Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 28, 17 PAYING THE PIPER One of the reasons why it costs more to live today that it cost a generation age is that the luxuries of that time have become the necessities of today. Forty years ago people were able to keep comfortable with wood fires which went out overnight and had to be built new each morning at least, they thought then that they were comfortable. These wood burning stoves were of a variety of sizes and shapes and they would accommodate anything that was wood and would burn. The larger ones had yawning openings through which great chunks could be introduced into the interior. It was the practice in some localities to burn stumps. The stump of an apple tree for example, not only made an exceedingly hot fire, but was sufficiently slow burning to hold the fire over night, and that was important in those days. A wood fire made a pleasant heat, often aromatic, but like as not the range in the kitchen and the heater in the living room were the only stoves in the house. Indeed in some homes the stove in the Kit'en afforded the only heat in the entire house. Beside every kitchen stove of those days was the woodbox, and it was the duty of the small boy of the family to keep this receptacle filled. Many who were boys then doubles, remember the amazing burring capacity of those old kitchen stoves and how annoyingly often the woodbox needed to be replenished. No bed rooms were heated in those days, an exception being made, perhaps, in the case of grandmother's room. Folks undressed and dressed in the cold, and the temperature inside the house was not much above that outside, and not only did the wind whistle through the cracks around the whirls and the windy frames, but when snowstorms came thin drifts of snow formed in line across the floor. People sleep on straw ticks and feather beds, often between reather beds, and took hot flatirons and stones to bed with them to reduce the chill of the icelike sheets. It was cold getting to bed and cold getting out again in the morning, but no one was troubled with inability to sleep, after the heat of the body had made the bed warm. With such frigidity in the sleeping apartments, it can be seen readily why bathtubs did not become popular until at a later date. A bowl of water, or at best a washtub, beside the kitchen stove, afforded the customary means of bathing, and while it was not as convenient as the modern bathroom, people today really seem to be no cleaner than they were forty years ago. It was a great day in the home when coal became available and the base burner arrived, bringing with it unimagined luxury. The joy of a fire that did not require replenishing every five minutes and did not go out overnight! The luxury of being able to go to a warm room at any time of the day or night, particularly the night! This was the acme of comfort. That little old pioneer base burner, how queer it would look beside the nickle plated monster to be seen in the store window or today-as queer as the first "one lung" automobile would seem in comparison with the big touring car of today. Little and queer as it was, however, it spelled not only comfort, but tropical luxury. It contributed much to the happiness of living; it was comfortable to look at as well as to sit by. Looking back over the years, we of today wonder sometimes how people survived their discomforts and their hardships; how they managed to grow up healthy and sane and strong amid them, and how, on the whole, they enjoyed life at all, when it had so many disadvantages. But it is gravely to be doubted whether people today, with all their creature comforts, with all their luxuries which have become necessities, are any happier or get any more out of life than their forbears. It is a question whether our soft living is producing any better men and women than did the conditions of life forty years ago. No one should wish to surrender any of the things which make life worth while, and which contribute to contentment and happiness, but one wonders at times if we have not lost something of value in the departure of simplicity from our domestic life. Man becomes his best in his striving to overcome adversity. Character is not nurtured in the lap of luxury. Noble men and women were developed in the pioneer period, when conditions of life were hard and when progress was made only by overcoming well high insuperable obstacles. These men and women became the leaders in the growth and development of our country. In what sort of school are we developing today the leaders of tomorrow? Will there be in their character the fiber which marked the character of the leaders of yesterday? --- Desides, we received by parcel post from Cousin Jennie, Trenton, Tenn., a box containing a spare rib, some sausage in shucks, four rabbits, and three pounds of yellow country butter.

GLORIA IN EXCELSIS Radiant, the east for a glory is gleaming Down on a mother; to her babe fondly chinging And hears a song the angels are singing: Wondering the shepherds, nightly are keeping Flocks on the pastures but lo; they are sleeping.

Down in the manger; and 'er him is streaming, Heaven's own light from the angels descending Singing this song majestically blending: Tis Christmas time, and far and near, Kind gifts we send to those most dear, With joyous laughter, clear and sweet, Our friends, and all we daily greet. But why not make this happiness last? Make your future days as bright as the past. Take Agency of "Poro," the greatest System on earth. Be independent and prosperous, too, as well as full of mirth. PORO COLLEGE CO. 3100 Pine St., Dept. R., St. Louis, Mo. NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY DECEMBER 28. 1917. O. JOY! Brother W. L. Miller, editor of the Nashville Globe, ultimates so eloquently upon the virtues of "that steak we had in Louisville"—a old home of ours—that we fain would have been with him there. However, if that luscious steak so stirred the cookies of Brer Miller's heart, we tremble to think of how many more columns of exaltation he would have penned had he learned a wee bit further down Tenth street and unaffected about three fingers of the dew that made Kentucky famous, or glanced down Chestnut street after shopping time and "humped" those beavies of brownies that make the Falls City one of the garden spots of the world. Anyhow, Brer Miller, in the language of Dunbar, "has bin to old Kentucky and wants to go again." Louisville is all right, steak and other things, as well. —R. W. Thompson, in Indianapolis Freeman. RIOTERS DIE BRAVELY S. M. George in Ohio State Journal: It is with some feeling of gratification. we consider, that citizens—of whatever color—may contemplate the recent execution of 13 colored soldiers in Texas. Facing death to the last fifteen murders, we with apparently cheerful resignation, their lot, compels a degree of admiration, which is not lessened by the fact that 12 sought spiritual counsel. It was a striking traceried in the gray light of the winter dawn. It recalls the memories of a race oppressed and brutalized by the superior race through centuries, for 50 years struggling up from barbarism and degradation. Losing self-control under provocation, they lost their heritage of honor as American soldiers. Yet they were still a manliness at the last which redeems to a large degree the frightfulness of their conduct. Let the American nation recognize that here are men capable of the highest degree of manhood. And let the nation resolutely remove those provocations, on account of color, that are as sparks to powder in the in-ground inspiring race, a race which may yet prove a guardian to American ideals. YOU BET. And what more was to have been expected than that the Nashville Globe, coming as it does from the Athens of the South, should forge to the front as one of the greatest newspapers in the hands of the race? Answer: Nothing more. The people of the country are coming to recognize a news item as the truth if they see it in the Globe. —Dallas Express. NONRESIDENT NOTICE. Jesse James Davis Vs.

NASHVILLE 9.15 P.M. Ar. NEW YORK 7.13 A. M. (Second Day) INDEPENDENT LIFE BUILDING Speaking from a theatrical standpoint, the year of 1917, which is drawing to a close, has been a very prosperous one. No new theatres of importance have been built, probably because of the war and wave of uneasiness that has swept the financial capital of large, but all the theatres that are operating with any kind of theatrical system are on a paying basis, even some that have suffered through incompetent management have been able to get by. In New York City, the Lafayette's stock policy presenting Broadway success, has been more successful than ever, while the Linden Theater has managed with inferior vaudeville both in quantity and quantity has been gliding by. Gibson's Standard Theatre, Philadelphia, is America's representative vaudeville theatre. Mr. Gibson gives the best show for the money and gets in return capacity twice daily. In Washington, the Howard Theatre has had an uncertain year, productivity due to management. The pollywog Stock one week, interior vaudeville, one week and feature pictures. Baltimore threatened to build a theatre, but didn't and has three picture theatres playing inferior vaudeville. Pittsburgh, Penn., has two picture vaudeville theatres and from the way the business, a larger house would pay. Cleveland and Detroit have each a fair size theatre, but far from regulation and have been making money with the better class of so-called colored time vaudeville. The same can be said of Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Louisville and St. Louis. Chicago won a victory when the Avenue Theatre once a jim crow house, was put in the same class as the Grand. The Grand maintaining its usual policy, has been successful for the most part, but a year round stock company such as Billy King in the summer months would pay. The Monogram has been holding its own warehouse until the Grand's policy of not more than one or two colored acts makes it possible. No new stars have arisen to awaken more than passing interest, and there is an alarming lack of clever women. Irvin C. Miller's Broadway Rastus was the crowning event of the year in musical comedy. All the critics tell us Whitney and Company changed her name to Smarter Set, and have been doing nicely. Vaudeville and have been improving in material and class, and more were routed over white vaudeville results in any year previous. The actors are progressive than the managers in the colored theatre, and as a result many acts standard on the colored time are being lost to them. If an act spend several hundred dollars for scenery, wardrobe and equipment and managers do not pay it any more than they would pay a knock-out act, and the result is the act has to seek a market elsewhere. Prospects are bright for the New Year, and here's hope that many new theaters will be built and that many great plays and players will be made during the year that is before us. * * * * Dink Steward, in Irvin C.

FRIDAY DECEMBER 28, 1917. P. S.--BETTER THAN THE IRON CLAW MATINEE DANCE OF ELITE ACADEMY The Elite Dancing Academy on Christmas Day was in gala attire for the holiday season. The Matinee Dance given its members was one of the most pleasing and enjoyable of this festival season. The dance opened at 3 o'clock and closed at 7 and the members of this popular pleasure resort came out in great numbers despite the very inclement weather. The ladies in their holiday togs graced the occasion in large numbers. Gentlemen were there for every Miss who failed to bring an escort, thus a most pleasurable afternoon was spent. The music was divine and as the strains were wafted on the air by the Melhary Orchestra the devices of Terpsichore enjoyed themselves to the fullest. The managers of this popular class are doing all in their power to keep the class up to its usual standard and in keeping with this idea. Prof. Matinee rapidly as possible, is giving the students the new dances. The Matinee Polka, one of the new dances, has proven quite a favorite as well as the Laurel Tango. The usual Saturday evening classes will be open from 4 to 8, but the Management wishes to announce that no lady or gent will be permitted without their card.

OUR CHURCHES TAKE THIS BOOK HISTORY AND MANUAL 6 The pastor, Dr. John H. Grant, preached his third sermon last Sunday upon the subject, "Secret Sins." In this message he stressed the fact, "that God remembered our sins and kept them ever before Him that He may call us to a strict account for them. "We are told," said the speaker, "that God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing." And that Paul admonishes us that "The Lord will bring to light the hidden things of our life and will make manifest the course of the heart." He will force from our lips a faithful record of every crime a faithful commitment. This is true of a nation well as of an individual, and herein is fearful for America in this war, because her sins are before God and her dark mountain of infiquity must be accounted for. The pastor will preach a special sermon Sunday morning from the subject, "The reason why men are not Christians." Subject at night, "The Last Witness." Dr. Grant is an intelligent and spiritual preacher. If you hear him once, you will hear him again. ST. LUKE A. M. E.

Burns, our beloved pastor and teacher of the Galeda Class, was called forward and presented the Red Ribbon in a most pleasing manner. He spoke of the loyal members of his class who strive very hard to keep aglow the spark of light, as our motto says, "For Christ and young men." Mrs. Viola Vincent gave the Galeda yell when we were found to be the winner. Collection: Galedas $3.00, Metoka $2. Miss Minnie Works, one of our loyal Galedas, is very ill at this writing.

SCOTT'S VISIT TO BALTIMORE The coming to Baltimore of the above named clergyman was hailed with great delight by the constituency of the Methodist Episcopal Church. It is to be expected that one who has had such an honorable education and a ceaselessly body of modern Protestantism would make a brounf and lasting impression wherever he goes. This is the outcome of his services at Metropolitan Church Sunday morning when he preached and Monday night when he lectured. Dr. R. W. S. Thomas, the pastor of Metropolitan, provided a board gauged program for a man of similar dimensions and there was no miscarriage. The Sunday morning sermon was from Genesis 22:2. The theme was, "The Triumph of Sacrifice Challenges Man's Obedience and Faith." The portrait of Abraham's call by God to sacrifice his only son, by the eloquent bishop was wonderously picturesque and dramatic. His fervid appeal to the officery and members to link up with God, and make the sacrifice each is called upon to remit from a very unusual way the large congregation, that gave wart attention to his every word. The bishop spoke at Sunday school exercises and also the afternoon and night services. Monday night he lectured on the "Redemption of Africa." Everybody knows of his great services on the West Coast of the Dark Continent to r12 years. The evangelization of that unredeemed continent is still the master passion of his soul. He feels it his high calling to use his best endeavors to put the same on the hearts and in the prayers of Methodism. Probably never before among colored Methodists was there such an out-pouring to pay honor to a single individual as was present Tuesday night at the banquet in Bishop Scott's honor. A special program was provided. Dr. D. W. Hava presiding. Speakers were: Mr. George I. Simms, Dean Pickens, Miss Ida R. Cummings. Orator of the evening, Dr. Ernest Lyon. The above speakers were both interesting and instructive. Bishop Scott responded in fitting terms. Nearly two hundred sat down to the banquet table. Rev. Julius Carroll B. D., was tomaster. The following impromptu toasts weer made: "To the Bishop," Rev. C. G. Cummings, B. D.; "Our Sister Churches," Rev. H. J. Mitchell; "Christian Workers," Rev. S. H. Virgil; "Jerusalem." Mr. James Harris; "Sunday schools," Mr. George A. Owens. On this feast of soul and flow of reason closed, one of the most notable series of exercises that it has been the good fortune of Methodists of Baltimore to participate in. During Bishop Scott's stay in the city he was entertained at Miss Ida R. Cummings' residence. He enjoyed the hospitality of the following: Mr. William Kent, for dinner, Sunday; Rev. R. W. S. Thomas, dinner, Monday; Dr. Ernest Lyon, dinner, Tuesday; Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Assistant Secretary of War, while not a relative of Bishop Scott, at one time lived in the bishop's home, and enjoyed his pastoral oversight. Bishop Scott has served as president of Wiley University, Marshall, Texas, editor Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans, La., and for twelve years was in charge of the missionary work in Liberia of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
