Feb. 15, 1918. Ceremonies in the chapel of the Mehairy Auditorium immortalizing the eighty-seven graduates of that institution who are now with the United States army in its various branches, were held last Friday. There were representatives from a number of states in the audience. There were newspaper men representing an association of one hundred and twenty-six publications with over a million weekly circulation. President Geo. W. Hubbard, the Dean of the college, presided. The occasion proper was the presentation of a service flag with eighty-seven stars, which was the gift of the Mehairy Alumni Association through the efforts of Dean J. A. Lester.

President Hubbard in speaking of the occasion said, "As far as I have been informed, Meharry was the first College to pledge President Wilson its hearty support to his declaration of war against Germany. The day after his proclamation was issued the faculty and students of Meharry telegraphed him the following message, (The acceptance of which was duly acknowledged): "To the President of the United States: The faculty and students of the medical, Dental, Pharmaceutical and Nurse-training departments of Meharry College 500 strong, unanimously tender to the government of the United States, their service in the present crisis. We are ready, use us." At an early date quite a number of the Meharry graduates enlisted in the military service and were sent to the training camps at Des Moines, Iowa. They were afterwards transferred to the medical service and commissioned as first Lieutenants where they were afterwards joined by others,' and when I visited the camp about the first of September I found about 40 in actual training, two of whom Dr. Henry Walker of Nashville, and Dr. S. B. Hickman of Memphis were afterwards promoted to be Captains. The following is a list of Meharry graduates who have been commissioned: Maj. J. R. White, Captains L. W. Lewis, C. O. Hadley, H. H.

Quite a considerable proportion have already been assigned to active duty, and others are waiting to be sent to their fields of labor. Some will be assigned to ambulance service, some will have hospital work and others will serve as surgeons in the various colored regiments. Dr. C. O. Hadley, who was formerly Captain of Co.

Meharry hopes to be prepared to furnish one-half of the surgeons needed to supply the colored regiments and hospital service. Thus far they have an honorable record, and we anticipate that this will continue throughout the war.

At the conclusion of his remarks he introduced Dr. Caruthers the president of the Meharry Alumni Association, who told of the purpose of the meeting, and who in turn introduced Dr. O. B.

FRONT LINE SUNDAY SCHOOLS LEBANON ENJOYS LECTURE BL CONGRESS SECRETARY—MUCH INTEREST AROUSED IN THE SUNDAY SCHOOL—GREAT RE- CEPTION. Lebanon, Tenn., Feb. 26"—Citizens of this city braved the stormy weather last night to hear Rev. Henry Allen Boyd, in an address on "Front Line Sunday-schools," which was delivered at the High School to a magnificent audience. Rev. Mr. Boyd has been in- vited by a special committee and pre- parations for a big ovation had been made. Upon his arrival he was met by Drs. W. A. Thompson and R. C. Patton, who together with Prof L. L. Campbell and J. R. McDaniel constituted a committee of citizens in charge of the affair which proved to be one of the most momentous occasions of this historic city. His coming here was for the purpose of discussing ways and means of making the Sunday school a great power among all classes of citizens. Even the children clamored for an opportunity to hear him and turned out in full force. At eight o'clock the rain was falling in torrents and the wind blowing to almost a gale but the faithful and pure in heart and those who believe in the mission of the Sunday school continued to come until the audience rs which was presented to President. was a very creditable one. The crowd was appreciative and out of the ordinary for any lecture that has been held in this city. Prof. Campbell, Principal of the School, called the meeting to order and told the purpose of the lecture, after which the congregation arose and sang "America." Invocation was offered by Rev. M. F. Riley. At the conclusion of the prayer Miss Harris, one of the sweet singers of Lebanon, rendered a solo accompanied by Miss Laura Bostiek at the piano. The Master of Ceremonies introduced Dr. R. C. Patthe, the well known dentist and graduate of Mchary Medical College, who introduced the speaker. Dr. Patton told of his early acquaintance with the guest of the hour, how he had watched him at close range and declared to the audience that they were about to hear one who had "Made good in more than one line of endeavor." I have been anxious ever since I located in your city to have you hear the leading Sunday school promoter of this country, the Secretary of the Sunday School Congress forces and General Superintendent of the Sunday schools of the United States. My dream has been realized and I present to you Rev. Henry Allen Boyd, of Nashville, Tenn. Rev. Mr. Boyd was received with great applause and as he ashe to speak he was given an ovation.

C. A., last Sunday. It was in the Wilson Auditorium proper. While it was a mass meeting in the beginning, the speeches made and arguments set forth seemed to have aroused a patriotic spirit. The enforcement of the ouster law was suggested as one of the best remedies for lawlessness and judging from the reports of the papers it was one that is calculated to be far-reaching. Excerpts from the daily papers contained the following: No Better Time for Law and Order Leagues. "There was never a more opportunity time for the organization of law and order leagues than this.

What form of autocracy is worse than that of an enraged mob? If democracy means anything it means justice to all and the maintenance of law and order. If Anglo-Saxon civilization means anything, it means the right of constitutional trial by the law of the land Only the English can all force a Government based upon law and order, can we be truly patriotic in a struggle to which we have given our all, and maintain a civilization bequeathed to us by our fathers." The report was also endorsed by the following citizens, whose support to the organization is pledged by their signatures: J. H. Peyton, W. R. Cole, Hunter McDonald, J. H. Allison, R. H. Yancy, M. B.

Mr. Boyd the Master of Ceremonies called upon Dr. W. A. Thomas leading physician and surgeon of this city to respond. Dr. Thomas told of the four years spent in Nashville at Meharry Medical College from which he graduated and how he had observed the work of the National Baptist Publishing Board. He declared "We are the recipients of more tonight than it has been our good fortune to have for a number of years. Indeed never since I have been in your city have I gotten so much cut of the day school movement as I have received tonight! I shall take it all back and put it in force in my own Sunday school. A bass solo was rendered by Prof. A. L. Pate accompanied by Miss Bostick. All here admitted that no public meeting held in the city has attracted the attention of so many people from so many different walks of life.

Tymre moved the appointment of a committee of five to report a plan of organization to carry out the purposes outlined in the report. This motion was discussed briefly by M. B. Morton and other speakers, all of whom expressed the sentiment that the time had come to stop the burning and torturing of persons accused of crime. They had as much abhorrence of the crimes for which the lynching was done as anyone, but believed that in a civilized society the laws had full power to punish. Mr. Tyne's motion prevailed, and the committee was appointed consisting of Percy D. Maddin, chairman; T. J. Tyne, John R. Aust, C. A. Craig and C. B. Wallace. While the committee was out Dr. Weatherford addressed the meeting by request. He said that the report was not only a protest against mob violence, but it was an active step toward preventing it. The report was not a wholesale condemnation of the courts, but was an attempt to set forth the duty of proceeding according to the law and in order, the foundation stone of all civilization. Mob violence a slight at least, and a declaration that a mob could deal out justice better than the constituted courts. Law should be respected and people should be made to respect them. Even if the courts were sometimes slow, no body of men could be justified in hurrying proceedings by means that were unlawful. A mob was elemental savagery that overthrows the law. Mob violence did not prevent crime, for there was never yet a lynching, however, horrible, that was not followed by other crimes similar to the crimes of the man summarily executed. It was not present, but a creator of crime. Mob law had been robbing us of our high ideals, back of which lay all clalvary. It was to the credit of the people of Nashville, both white and colored, that there had been no lynching here for twenty-five years. The report shows us, said the speaker, that there are remedies. The ouster law can be invoked, and must be invoked against every officer who connives at or without resistance, even at the risk of his life, permits the mob to have the criminal. He cited some commendable instances of successful resistance to mobs by officials. Chairman Maddin then read his report recommending take out a charter, and suggesting the first board of directors for it. These directors, J. H. Allison, Bruce R. Payne, E. B. Stahman, Dr. J. H. Kirkland, G. N. Tillman, Dr. I. Lewinthal, Byrd Murray, Dr. Carey Morgan, Lee Loventhal. Dr. W. B. Taylor, J. D. Planton, Dr. James I. Vance, Albert E. Hill, Dr. Stritch, J. H.

Cain, Jeff McCarn. The by-laws provide that any reputable citizen could become a member if favoring the objects of the organization. The board of directors will select the officers, which consist of a president, vice president, secretary and treasurer. ONLY TEN DAYS MORE. Just ten more days and the Colored Young Men's Christian Association membership drive culminates. No announcement as to the progress made by various teams has yet been given out to the public. It is understood, however, that some of the teams have made great strides. It is said that two or more prizes will be provided for individual winners and the winning team. Full details will be announced later. It is rumored that division number two with William Avent as leader has some secret plans under way which will make it difficult for the other division to even approach him in the total number of members secured. They met Friday night, Mar. 1, and outlined their plans for the homestretch. Probably the most thrilling reports will be made Friday night, March 8, just four days of the close of the campaign. Friends are invited to be present at both of these meetings.

NAPIER, PRESTON TAYLOR AND H. A. BOYD—REPRESENTATIVES OF OTHER PLACES WILL MAKE UP ORGANIZATION. New York, Feb. 20, 1918. President Wilson on Tuesday afternoon received a delegation of four members of the New York Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People by special appointment. The delegation placed before the President a petition signed by twelve thousand citizens of New York in which the President was asked to extend executive clemency to the five Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fourth Infantry now under sentence of death by verdict of the court martial which tried the Houston riot cases, and requesting the President to cause to be laid before him a review of the cases of the forty-one soldiers of the same regiment who were sentenced to life imprisonment by the first court martial. The delegation consisted of James Weldon Johnson, Field Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Rev. George F. Miller Rector of St. Augustine's Church, Brooklyn, Rev. Frank M. Hydier, pastor of St. James Presbyterian Church, New York City, and Rev. F. A. Cullen, President of the New York Branch. Mr. Johnson, who acted as spokesman of the delegation, said: man of the denomination "We come as a delegation from the New York Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, representing the twelve thousand singers tothis petition which we have the honor to lay before you. And we come not only as representatives of those who signed this petition, but we come representing the sentiments and aspirations and sorrows, too, of the great mass of the Negro population of the United States. " "We respectfully and earnestly request and urge that you exert executive emency to the five Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fourth Infantry now under sentence of death by court martial. And understanding that the cases of the man of the same regiment who were sentenced to life imprisonment by the first court martial are to be reviewed, we also request and urge that you cause this review to be laid before you and that executive emency be shown also to them. "We feel that the history of this particular regiment and the splendid record for bravery and loyalty of our Negro soldiery in every crisis of the nation give us the right to make this request. And we make it not only in the name of their loyalty, but also in the name of the unquestioned loyalty to the nation of twelve million Negroes, a loyalty which today places them side by side with the original American stocks that landed at Plymouth and Jamestown. "The hanging of thirteen men without the opportunity of appeal to the Secretary of War or to their Commander-in-Chief, the President of the United States, was a punishment so drastic and so unusual in the history of the nation that the execution of additional members of the Twenty-fourth Infantry would to the colored people of the country savor of vengeance rather than justice. "It is neither our purpose nor is this the occasion to argue whether this attitude of mind on the part of colored people is justified or not. As representatives of the race we desire only to testify that it does not exist. This state of mind has been intensified by the significant fact that although white persons were involved in the Houston affair and the regiment to which the colored men belonged was offered entirely by white men, none but colored men, so far as we have been able to learn, have been undermined. prosecuted "We desire also respectfully to call to your attention the fact that there were mitigating circumstances for the action of these men of the Twenty-fourth Infantry. Not by any premeditated design and without cause did these men do what they did at Houston, but by a long series of humiliating and harrassing incidents, culminating in the brutal assault on Corporal Baltimore, they were goaded to sudden and frenzied action. This is borne out by the long record for orderly and soldierly conduct on the part of the regiment throughout its whole war up to that time. history "An't to the end that you extend the clementey which we ask, we lay before you this petition" signed by white as well as colored citizens of New York; one of the singers being a white man, president of a New York bank, 72 years of age a native of congestion, Ky. Lekins, now, Mr. President, we would not let this opportunity pass without mentioning the terrible outrages against our people that have taken place in the last three quarters of a year; outrages that are not only unspeakable wrongs against them, but bultons upon the fair name of our common country. We mention the riotes at East St. Louis, in which ed people brent the brunt of both the cruelty of the mob and the processes of the law. And we especially mention savage burnings that have taken place in Page 8.) 2 Miss Lottie Haygood, the supervisor of the Davidson County schools presided at a called meeting of the teachers Saturday morning at the court house. The meeting opened at 10 o'clock The supervisor lead in singing "Lord I want to be a Christian." At the close of the song, the object of the call meeting was briefly stated. While the supervisor was talking the first speaker, Mrs. Robert Nichols, President of the Council of National Defense came in and with in a few minutes the teachers were listening attentively to Mrs. Nichols as she spoke of the many ways in which women are helping to win the war.

What mankind is awaiting, is the brotherhood of man; It's asked for, prayed for, since 'eer the world began. Men talk of it, they preach of it, from every point of view. But those who do nobly practice it, there numbers do be few. Why wait until communities resolve to live it out? It's just by ones and twos and threes such work is brought about. Each one of us has got a world tie up within our breast. And what we are and what we do, should benefit the rest. Good people of Union City, I am engaged in writing your news not for money alone because I have after strenuous efforts concluded that a comfortable living cannot be made in this field and according to my present intentions, will drop it altogether in a few weeks and give my attention to something more payable, but since I am in the work, I shall be pleased to know that I am bringing things to pass; that will mean the more for my eternity. Therefore, be it properly conceived and conceive that my chief aim is to encourage and cheerish brotherly love in all the ways I can, to every body I can, everywhere I can, and every time I can. A few years ago a policeman shouted to a boy in the canal at Preston, England. "Hell lo! Why are you bathing there? "I'm not, the led elkouted; "I'm drowning." Then the officer rescued him of course. Many people who are supposed to be having a good time in the world are realizing their lives. It is the privilege and duty of Christ's forces to rescue them. If you suspect, you are suspected; if you love, you are loved; if you hate, you are hated. Fretting is a confession of weakness; it is like the little dog nawing and whining at a door because he can't get in. You need not dodge the sue if you are guilty of non-support of brotherly love. There are some who value knocking as the capita idea. For Christ's sake don't be a knocker; for you can't saw wood with a hammer. If you cannot do TO GROW LONG, STRAIGHT HAIR You Need a Real Scalp Food. There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of perfumed methylene Quinol, a medicated poison that has stood the rest of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. To get best results from the use of Quinade it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasap. Quinasap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleaner. Quinasap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair and fuffs apart, refreshing feathers to the scalp unequaled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your drugstry or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from the wholesaler or send them to you. Write to New York City, Co. 79 East 130th street, New York City, for a sample of Quinade, mentioning the name of this paper.—Adv. For Prompt and Efficient SERVICE CALL LEE & CO.

To Washington, to the great man of Revolutionary times, to the great man who could not do what many politicians can do, viz; tell a lie; to the child he is the eighty million of peofo be to the American of the greatest to the greatest of good men and the best of great men; the colored people of Union City paid the greatest tribe of respect by promulgating their corroboration of him embalmed in song, recorded in history, eulogize in panegyric, cast in bronze, scouted in marble, painted on canvas enshrined in the hearts of his com trymen, and living in the memory of mankind. The above eulogy was given him by the rendition of the following program, Friday night. Febuary 22nd, in the Chapel room of Miles Junior High School to-wit: Song—By the audience, "God will take care of you." Invocation—Rev. Bruton. Introductory—Prof. A. M. Gilbert A. B.

A collection of $5.05 was offered to defray expenses accrued by the purchase of song books for the school and for repair work on the new Domestic Science building. Miss Vira Davenport, pianist; Prof. A. M. Gilbert, Master of Ceremonies. In Prof. Gilbert's Introductory emphasis was given to the fact that the school was the center of a community. This fact was vividly wielded and deeply buried in the hearts of the hearers by proclaiming sectarianism of various denominations each having his special congregation which lay claim to a particular church; and that all blames in the assembly in the school building. An emphatic impression was stamped on the minds of the patrons assembled that the modern building in which their children assembled for daily recitations, was theirs, and as a representative he welcomed them most cordially to their own and admonished them to realize the blessing for which they should be thankful; viz.: modern building, proficient faculty liberality and intensity of interest by the Board of Education, etc. A clear and comprehensive explanation was given why children fail to pass; the summary of which was due to the fact that some were not sent to school regularly, others sent and would go to other places. His remarks were flavored by the story of several crabs that were caught and put in a bucket for safety. When one was about to make his escape another would reach up and pull down. Such once upon a time the situation with us said he but that God gave impetus to the hurled all of inefficient deeds into the sea of oblivion. Our Dentist, Dr. S. L. Cunningham, briefly necessitated the care of the teeth by showing that the fundamental cause of a large per cent of diseases of the body is in the mouth due to the neglect of the treatment of the teeth. The use of a tooth brush should be regularly used as directed by our dear Dentist; and those who had not awakened to this duty, were not keeping pace with the ninety per cent of our school children of our larger cities between the ages of five and fourteen years. Therefore dear parents, our dentist wishes to emphasize to you that your teeth and your children's teeth should be kept in a sanitary condition, all cavities filled and others extracted that your children may avoid stench such as yourselves. Nor on program was a man of experience Rev. W. H. Porter, who by way of an extemporaneous speech spun out those striking points full of vitality and as styled by many, the issues of today which fulfilled the demands of the hour. This eminent divine began as follows: "I am very glad to be here to look into the faces of the parents of Union City. Your sorrows and troubles are mine. Every good favor to you comes to me because we are together. I am proud of my race and regard the school NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY MARCH 1, 1918. And never tag dirt it succeed.

She is a diamond of the first waters. We hope he will always treat and respect her as such. Moses Snadyd died a few days ago. He was a good boy and was a type of his namesake, the great lawgiver of old. He was a student of the city high school. The school and faculty out at his funeral was held at St. Paul E. Church. Rev. H. L. Reynolds officiated. Like Moses of old, he professed a hope in Christ while quite a lad and lived a consistent Christian till his death. He died in the bloom of youth at the tender age of 16 years. Prof. G. T. Hall, the principal of the city high school on which Moses was a student, said that he had taught school for twenty-four consecutive years and during that time had taught hundreds and thousands of students. He said Moses stood second to none in deportment. Moses is not dead; just only transplanted from this world to the plains of bright glory to shine brightness. endless ages of eternity.

Ay, tear her tattered ensign down! Long has it waved on high It was John A. Dix who said, "if any one attempts to haul down the American flag, shoot him on the spot," but there are American flags, or remnants of what once were American flags, flying from Nashville flagstaffs which ought to be hauled down at once. There are times when it is to the interest of patriotism to haul down the American flag. One of those times is when the flag, after long exposure to the elements, torn by the wind to a mere shred, discolored by coal smoke, faded by rain and sun, has become a mere rag, a pathetic reminder of the glorious banner which is the emblem of our country. It is singular how careless of the proprieties civilians become in their treatment of the flag. Some of these faded remnants of the stars and stripes which flutter pathetically from Nashville flagstaffs have been in their places for months, day and night, in all kinds of weather. No one has had enough regard for them as flags, not enough reverence for them, to bring them in during stormy weather, or at night, or to haul them down, when they became unit for further use and give them reverent interment. How careless we are in some of these little niceties of patriotism! The loyalty which inspires the display of the flag we all recognize and appreciate, but what shall we say of the heedlessness, the thoughtlessness, which permits the abuse of the flag through indolence pr neglect? What inspiration there is in the respectful, reverent demeanor of the soldier and the sailor toward the flag. Why should not civilians cultivate that spirit of respect and reverence? Ay, let us tear down some of these tattered ensigns which long have waved on high, and which indict our sense of the fitness of things. Better a bare staff than a bedraggled banner. How are we to teach or compel respect for the flag if we do not respect it ourselves? WHERE WE FAIL The chances are that everybody in Nashville capable of intelligent thinking has remarked to himself or his wife or his neighbor that buying thrift stamps represents a corking idea. The chances also are that not more than one-fourth, or perhaps a tenth, of those who have thus spoken have any thrift stamps to their credit. The thrift stamp campaign is said to have been fairly successful. But the most limited inquiry in any Nashville group convinces one that it has been only fractionally successful, as compared to what it ought to have been. There is just one thing responsible for that, and it is the inertia of the average man and woman. It is the miserable human habit of procrastination. Everybody says the thrift stamp plan is splendid, that it will advantage the government and that both immediately and in the future it will advantage the individual. Everybody thereupon resolves to buy some stamps or to start baby with a collection of them, and then forgets about it. Forgetting about oblivious and profitable duties will not win the war, will not develop as it ought to be developed the habit of honest thrift, and will not entitle any man or woman to a sense of having done the right thing. Talk about thrift stamps. Recommend thrift stamps. Then buy thrift stamps. If you don't do the last thing all the rest are hollow. One thing that has been worrying us is what are we going to do about medicine for snake bites with all the whiskey liable to be used up early next year? We have not been bitten by a snake, but what is to hinder a snake from grabbing us by the hind leg and running off with us at any time and no snake bite remedy within miles of us? Many times, while no snake has bit, we are liable to have a premonition that one is going to bite, which is exactly as bad as being bitten. Think of the hours of disquietude that we may undergo with the feeling certain that a large rattlesnake is going to bite us and not a bit of remedy available. Darn it all! Well, we are going to try an experiment. They say that thoroughest tea is just as good. We are going to buy ten gallons of thoroughest and begin right off while it is cold and when it gets warm we can drink a pint or more a day and we will soon be immune from snake bite. By jingo, that is going to be a big thing. THE GOVERNOR. Tennessee has a governor who claims he has no power to stop mot murder. God pity old Tennessee. But we are of the opinion that the governor's conclusions are far-fetched and that the chief executive of the state is negligent of his sworn duties. If his excellency has ever demanded an investigation of this most barbarous affair, nobody has ever heard of it. Three burnings have taken place since Rye has been governor, but no one has ever heard of him trying to bring the perpetrators to justice. Make Tennessee safe for democracy as well as the world, Mr. Governor. Verily, Tennessee has the weakest man in the governor's chair since the days of the late Pete Turney. Farmer, spare that hen! All she asks in the spring is a few leaves or a little grass in some dark corner, and she'll have as much fire stealing her nest and raising a brood of young chicks as a small boy ever had stealing apples. Give her a chance. Juding by the illustrations on magazine covers, the war seems to be relected in women's dresses. And in case the modestes are at a loss for a name for their gowns they might just call them "Over the top." --- The spring poet, the robin and the wild duck are yet to be heard from. The past few days have been real springlike and we have been looking for one or the other of the above to report at this office. Editor King, of the Dallas Express, don't know what he missed by not seeing us while life was here to the recent press meeting. We haven't any now; all gone. Suggests that those who have been taught to eschew the world, the flesh and the devil ought to find it easier to accommodate themselves to the many meatless days of the preexist era. Dr. Davis, the Kaiser's own denist, avers that there is no food shortage in Germany. And yet he left Germany. Are Wilhelm's subjects subsisting on soup, that they have no need for teeth? Having only one good arm, the Kaiser is seriously handicapped in playing the fiddle. But his legs are admirable in every way, so there is no reason why he can't be made to dance. The theory of the allies with regard to the voice of autocracy is that if local option can be once firmly established complete prohibition will follow in due time. The war department says forty-six ground men are required for every flier. It is easy to guess what six of 'em are for, but why the honorary forty? Since human beings are being "butchered" in Russia, Americans should be glad to put up with horse-flesh, whale meat, or even cats. Prussian militarism, it should be remembered, is a condition, not a theory, and is not to be argued away by fine spun phrases. It may be, although it is extremely unlikely, that the Russian bear merely is hibernating until the coming of warm weather. There are a lot of automobile drivers who will smile in supercilious contempt when Gabriel at last toots his horn. While Hindenburg is set on dining in Paris, a good many Germans would be satisfied merely to eat in Berlin. About the only great statesman who finds pitiless publicity uncongenial nowadays is the inventor of it. One important shipbuilding program that went through on time was that directed by Grand Admiral Noah. Gen. Pershing is quite right. It isn't flying that is dangerous. The danger is in suddenly ceasing to fly. J. Ogden Armour says he reads the newspapers religiously. But not always pliously, it may be surmised. NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY MARCH 1. 1918 The United States has a directing war cabinet, all right, but the personnel has its human limitations. At Hog Island the division seemed to be first a thin streak of lean, then a wide streak of fat, and so on. The worm will turn, but in contemplating turning it is better not to plan on being a worm. The only fault with emulating the tortoise is the probability that the horr will not go to sleep. The Negro wants a man's chance for "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness." That's democracy. To paraphrase an old saying, "Beyond the Rhine lies Germany, and lies, and lies, and lies." The old axiom that a chain is no stronger than its weakest link applies also to sausages. It is always painfully surprising how quickly the broken backbone of a winter can be mended. It does not follow, though, that all the fancy dancers you see are potential heroes. Even with only one good arm the Kaiser is without a peer at rolling the bones The archness of the modern young woman is a question mostly of eyebrows. And so the shipping situation is bigger, better and brighter than ever before. Let us have a real America, "the land of the free, and the home of the brave." Under Governor Rye, Tennessee takes front rank as a Negro burning state. The powder plant will certainly be a great thing for Nashville. Oh, joy! Old Sport is now asleep on the sunny side of the house. In Germany, however, it is "plitiful publicity." Have you planted your onion sets? Buy a thrift stamp. BELL BUCKLE. Mr. David Sutton has returned to Nashville after spending the week-and at home.

A splendid company of interested people both among the colored and the white race attended the open meeting of the Bethlehem House Board last Friday afternoon in the parlor of the Bethlehem House. Mrs. A. B Smith, the president of the board, is in the chair. The devotional was given by S. L. McDowell of the First Baptist Church followed by a prayer by Rev. W. R. Stephens. The reports of the regularly employed workers were then read, each telling of the work of the year. Miss Haskin, the head worker showed the scope the work and how the organized work of the Bethlehem House is extended over the entire city; she also spoke of the co-operative work which is being carried on with Fisk University, Walden University, the Negro Public Library, The Public Welfare League, the City Playground Commission, the local Red Cross Organization and the Young Women's Christian Association. This larger work has been made possible by the splendid and efficient service of about twenty-five colored women organized into committees. Following Miss Haskin's report, Miss Olmstead the friendly visitor told something of her work in visiting in the homes. Nearly seven hundred visits had been made during the year in the homes of the community. These included visits to the sick, shut-ins, new members, absentees and to families need. Miss Harrison the kindergarten gave a very interesting report of the work done with the little ones and spoke of the children who were unable to go in the winter months because of lack of warm clothing and shoes. Mrs. Sallie Sawyers, the house mother, reported 5519 callers at the settlement during the year, some who had dropped in for a friendly visit others in need of advice or help in other ways. Mrs. Julia Williams, president of the Mothers Club at the Bethlehem House, gave a brief report of the year's work and of their splendid help in raising funds to support the work of the kindergarten. Mrs. Williams is also one of the volunteer workers of the Juvenile Court and is thoroughly acquainted with its different phases. Miss Marian Hadley, chairman of the Girl's work told in a very interesting way of the work done in the Forward Quest, Club, which has a membership now of 121 girls; at the conclusion of her report, three of the members of that club rendered a trio, "I'm going to do all I can for my Lord." Mrs. T. J. Elliott, president of the Mothers' Club in South Nashville; new extension work opened up by the Bethlehem House, gave a glowing account of their work in the few months they have been in existence. They have raised to support the work of the sewing school out there which meets every Saturday morning in the grade building of Walden University; this school each has an enrollment of 75 and an average attendance of 60. Mr. Bishop Scott, then told as chairman of the Mill Work Committee out the noon day services held for the colored girls and women in the Mayes Hosiery mill each Friday. Mrs. P. R. Burrus, chairman of the Bible Class Committee urged any who had the time to take advantage of the splendid study of the book of Acts under the teaching of Miss G. E. Wade of the Y. W. C. A.; she also spoke of the Red Cross work that was being done at the Bethlehem House as their head quarters. Dr. G. E. Haynes of Fisk University addressed the meeting, telling of the work of the Welfare League which is very closely associated with the Bethlehem House, the employment bureau having its office in the settlement. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. M. Smith, pastor of St. John's A. M. E. Church. KENTUCKY NEXT The Southern States are waking up to the menace and the reproach of litteracy. They had been laggards. They had been comfortable in their neglect of the matter. What opinion could they have against opinion only could find no good reason why "education should be forced" on these neglected children of the state, many of them full-grown, but found a certain private profit in their ignorance The man, the woman, or the child who can neither read nor write is the easiest to honeyfugle and to exploit. We are glad to find South Carolina waking up. Four years ago a local option compulsory attendance law was passed. It has worked so well that it is now proposed to sanction exemption only to such districts as seek to have exemption for no more than one year. This radical move provokes the Columbia State to the declaration that one of the compulsory school attendance no democracy is safe * * * and one fifth of the people of South Carolina are illiterate. Many more are nearly illiterate. In South Carolina—a commonwealth for whose original point of view we can, without agreeing with it, have the greatest respect—such a change of heart is nothing short of revolutionary. When it reaches the point of view of willingness to provide the necessary care for the poor our eyes and wonder it, actually, this is our glorious old friend of sacred memories. It is certainly not Kentucky. No bond issue for Kentucky to raise her disgraceful status and to improve those standards about which her ambitions are so lamentably low. Not a bit of it. Quite the other way around, in point of fact. The commission created in 2014 enjoyed a beggarly allowance of $5,000 for two years. At this present time, as we understand it, it hasn't a cent. What other activities are granted we do not grudge them if they need them. We need a good and profitable use of it. But all that in no way affects—certainly it does not negative—the case of our illiterates. According to the census of 1910 Kentucky stood thirty-seventh from the top, and, that she did not stand lower, was due to the Negroes. Taking native whites alone she ranked fifth from the bottom; taking native male whites she ranked third. We do not know what arguments can be needed after such a showing as that. We are surprised that any should be needed and we would urge, if urging could avail, that the bills already introduced in the General Assembly to provide funds for the employment of county agents, who shall be also county truant officers, may pass. It is the method that, on extended experience, has been found to work best. I ought certainly not be permitted to starve to death. The Southern States, we repeat, are waking up. South Carolina takes up her burden. North Carolina follows suit, and in Virginia a bill has passed the House of Delegates as to which the Richmond Times rejoices that, if passed by the eGneraly Assembly, it "Will mark a new epoch in the educational life of the Old Dominion." Kentucky next. Louisville Herald. "JIM CROW LAW GIVEN COUNCIL Ordnance would Separate Whites and Blacks on Street Cars. Louisville Herald: Surprise was caused in the Board of Aldermen at its meeting last night by the introduction of an ordinance by Alderman Hill requiring the Louisville Railway Company to provide separate seats for white and colored passengers on street cars. The three last cross seats and the seats parallel to the aisle in the rear part of cars shall be reserved for Negroes, according to the measure, which also requires that signs be placed in the cars calling attention to the ordinance. Another provision of the measure is that both whites and blacks shall board the cars at the rear end, but white whites shall leave them at the front end exclusively, the blacks must use the rear end to alight from the cars. One paragraph of the ordinance prescribes that there shall be no crowding in the aisles, but the wording of the provision is somewhat indefinite. No passengers shall be taken on after all the seats have been occupied and standing room has been taken by a reasonably well-equipped senger service, but shall not be so occupied as to interfere with the easy passage through the aisles by passengers. A fine of from $25 to $100 is provided for violation of the ordinance. REFERRED TO COMMITTEE On motion of Alderman Mason the measure was referred to the Railroad Committee. A short time ago a similar ordinance was introduced by Alderman Zeiser, but before it could be reported on by the Railroad Committee it was withdrawn. It was predicted last night that Mr. Hill's ordinance never would be passed by the board.

WADE. In the spring time a flower cometh forth, and it grows year after year until the grim reaper of death comes and cut it down. So it was with the dear one. Year after year he would bloom in the cause of Christ, but finally the great monster of death has come and taken him away. Deacon Reubin Wade was a true, faithful and loyal member of the 15th Ave., Baptist Church. He was the oldest deacon of the church having served for 31 years. He ever stood ready to do whatever he could for his church both spiritually and financially. In the passing away of him the deacon board has lost one of the greatest links in their chair. He was a back bone to the church. May the deacon board and members of this church wear a breast plate in memory of him, with this beautiful inscription "Gone but not forgotten." His chair is vacant, his place will be hard to fill. Whereas, it has pleased the Almighty God to take from our midst this one brother and deacon, be it. Resolved. That the deacon board and members of this church ever cherish his loving memory and that with this bereaved family we bow in humble submission to the will of him who doeth all things well, be it. Further Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions- be placed on the minutes of this church, a copy sent to the bereaved family, and acopy sent to the Nashville Globe.

The chairmen of both the Advisory Board and the Committee of Management felt that a 500 membership goal was all too small for Nashville. Perman lent by the Secretary and Personnel have been sent out to a large number of ministers, business and professional men, and to a few prominent business white men, seeking their co-operation in directing the young men's attention to the advantages of the Young Men's Christian Association. A folder is being sent out by the Colored Association, setting forth some reasons why even the very best training camp prospects should join the Young Men's Christian Association. According to this folder, the young man who says, "I would join the Y', but in a few days, or weeks at best, I will save for the training camp," has not yet done that. The very fact that he is looking forward to entering upon military service is the strongest possible reason for connecting himself with the Association. The folder contains vurs of scenes in France—"Our men landing in France to whom the Association gets there first"—10,000 aviation men in massed calligraphy drill—Kelly Field, Texas, and a wrestling match at Camp Kerny, San Diego. In the savings of this folder: "The 'Y's' position is confined to the home town." "The 'Ys' usefulness is known the world over." "Not only at home, but the 'Y' is both in the camps and at the front.

OUR CHURCHES 6 THE SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES. On last Sunday we were favored with visiting ministers at 11 o'clock Rev. G. B. Taylor, the pastor, preached a logical and timely sermon.

They received a neat sum. GALEDA CLASS FIFTEENTH AVE BAPTIST CHURCH The Galea class met last Wednesday day night with the Vice President, Mrs. Elvira Moore. The president called the class to order at S:30 o'clock with the usual opening exercises. After a few remarks from the president, the assistant teacher taught the lesson which was very interesting. Quotations and dues were responded to very briefly, after which the business of the class was discussed and plans were made for an entertainment in the near future.

Louisville, Ky.—Prior to the meeting of the joint session of the Bishops of the A. M. E. Church and the A. M. E. Z. Church and the C. M. E. Church of America, the Zion Bishops held their regular mid-win- ter session in Jacob Street Tabernaure, this was considered one of the most successful sessions ever held. The Council issued a statement pledging full support of the membership of 250,000 to the nation in the war, and sounded a note of protest; and what is termed hasty trial and execution of the 13 members of the infantry without a review of the evidence. This refers to the court martial and execution of the thirteen members of the regiment who had the trouble in Housotn, Texas, last summer resulting in a number of white civilians being killed. "We earnestly plea for," says the statement, "and implore the Government as Washington to be more humane and merciful in passing final sentence on the other members of the Regiment, now condemned to death." The statement pledged full support in all organized movements such as the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A. and other war relief work. "Our young men have enlisted by the thousands without urging, and are under as good discipline as any troops in the army. We delight in the recognition of many of them as warriors with feeling of joy and admiration and are equal to the task imposed on them. "While we deplore our war and weep over its horrors and sacrifices, we believe that a dishonorable peace, a peace that is not worldwide and permanent will be far more harassing than a peace gained by vengeance. "We endorse prohibition not only for the period of the war, but for all time. We call attention to the new Negro evolved out of this struggle, who because of the part in the settlement of the differences between the nations, will expect to share equally in the glorious blessings of a nation dedicated to equality, liberty and justice. A new man will return from the battlefield, not crying as from slavery, but flushed with a share of the world's mightiest conflict against humanity and injustice and he will present himself, not only for a more charitable consideration of our feelings and manhood from his fellows, but for fair and equal recognition in law, in labor, and in government. "We appeal to the press of the country to aid in the race's struggle for better conditions and for the untrammeled exercise of our citizenship." Every department of the church, reported through their representatives, and were discussed. The General Conference will meet in Knoxville, Tenn., May, 1920. Sunday night, Feb. 17, 1918. There were services at the 10th Avenue Baptist Church. The prayer services were conducted by Deacon Shaw and Deacon Blue. Song, "Lord, I stretch my hands to thee, no other help I know," was lined by the pastor, Rev. Henry Hudgins, after which he read the Scripture lesson, nine verses of the 37th chapter of Ezekiel. Song and prayer by Bro. Matt. Ross, Rev. J. Trotter, a white evangelist preached a noble sermon. His text was the "Complication of God's Kingdom." All enjoyed the services immensely. Rev. Hudgins, pastor. Sister Nina Hunger, Church clerk Rev. A. C. Holder preached a stirring sermon Sunday night, February 24th, at the St. Luke Mehdib church on Heffernan street, of which Rev. Norris is pastor. His text was from St. Luke tenth chapter, twenty-eighth verse. A large audience was present. ST. ANDREWS' PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH (Third Sunday after Lent.) At 9:45 a. m., Sunday School—"Jesus s brings peace." At. 11 a. m., Holy communion and sermon on Regeneration At 6:30 p. m., "Christian Living: (Thanks) "THE PRODIGAL SON" Sermon Delivered by Rev. W. S. Ellington, pastor First Baptist Church, East Nashville, and Editorial Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board of the National Baptist Convention (unincorporated.) I want to call your attention to the words of the Lord as found in Lake 15: 18, "I will arise and go to my Father and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and against thee." When I think of the prodigal son, I think of a beautiful country home surrounded by the beautiful green grass, where the sun shines on me and the wind can blow and where you work and nature smiles upon you. A country home, where father is kind and true and noble and great and where mother reigns supreme, reading her Bible with the children and guiding them in paths of right living. In connection with this home comes to my mind the words of the poet, when he says: "How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood, When fond recollections present them to view The orchard the meadow, the deep tangled wildwood And every loved spot which my infancy knew." A pleasant country home! With good food and plenty of fresh air. Where you can quench your thirst from the "Old oaken bucket that hung in the well." When I think of this parable I think of a home made up of father, mother and two boys. Joyous laughing boys, wrestling boys, skipping boys, boxing boys, swimming boys. Boys into all sorts of mischief. Throwing rocks, chasing the neighbors chickens, making life miserable for all the animals in the neighborhood. Just boys that's all! !A certain amount of anxiety animates the heart of every true mother and father and their prayer is that every child in the home, after they have received their education, should have a strong and sturdy character and that they may be able to live and serve and do much good in their day and generation. You will notice that one of these boys loves to make new acquaintances. He loves to hear the fascinating stories of city life, likes to come in any time of night and day. He likes to eat well and dress well and in every NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY MARCH 1, 1918. respect likes to have his own way. More and more our young people must be urged to be more careful in the selection of their company and a speak to mothers and fathers this morning who have sons and daughters who love to mingle with the gang and on whom the call of the Sunday school and church has no effect. It is the duty of every mother and father to guard carefully the children committed to your care and after you have done this you are to help save the man of our neighbor. A child's life is certainly influenced by the company he keeps and if he is allowed to walk the streets when ever he is ready and mingle with other boys that curse and steal and use coarse languages you may rest assured that he will do the same. Most of the delinquency of the children comes about because the mother has most of the care of the children, Father has not the time to devote to them. During the day he is at work trying to earn enough to keep the family and at night he 'is' at the lodge "making up the result" that we have young and in love in area and ignorance and many children are to grow up and follow a path that leads to degradation and property of soul and body. God Almighty intended that the father and mother should both have a hand in the rearing of the children. Were it not so he would have had them come into the world like an ostrich. You will remember that the baby ostrich grows without the aid of the mother or father ostrich. The mother lays her eggs in the sand in Africa and goes away about her business. All that she does towards maternity is to lay the eggs and cover the days of the late Peter Turney them in the sand. After they have been there for a number of days the warm rays of the sun causes germination and before long the beach is covered with little ostriches well prepared of thousands. "You child that is born in the world has the making of a great man in him. If properly cared for and prayerfully nurtured he will do great things for his people as did Booker T. Washington and Fredrick Douglass. It has been said that there are three periods in a child's life. Infancy from birth to six years of age, childhood from six years to thirteen years of age and adolescence from thirteen to eighteen. Let us look at an infant. He is never still. Sleeping or waking he is moving, squirting squirring, crying, smiling. He is developing muscle that he may be able to endure and resist in future life. Then comes the twentieth century when it is remarked that the twentieth century child skips childhood and goes directly from infancy to manhood and that between the ages of six and seven you will find him ruling mother and dictating to father and regulating the policy of the home. But I want you to notice this younger son as he comes to breakfast on this particular morning. He is in the condition commonly known as "pouting". His mother wants to know what the trouble is. "Oh, he says, you lecture me every time I come to the table. A fellow can't have any privileges round here any more. I am tired of this kind of thing. Somebody nagging me all the time." His father says, "Son, mother loves you and we all desire to see you do well. We have done all that we possibly can for your advancement. What more do you want?" How many mothers and father do I speak to this morning who have had this experience. The son comes to the table. Everything is wrong. The biscuits are not made to suit him. When chided for his conduct he tells you that every boy and girl in the neighborhood has a better time than he. Tethy all have more money to spend more clothes to wear and can go to dances and the movies any time they please, while he has to be tiled to your apron string. He is tired of it and wont stand it any longer. The prodigal son says to his father, "I want to go out in life and see things for myself. Give me the portion of goods that fall to me and let me go," and the Bible is on his living. Not the son's living for he had not worked and accumulated any thing. He had always been a dependent. He was simply the heir to his fathers living. But the living that the father had toiled for. Th efather divided unto his two sons, his living. I imagine that this boy received his portion unthankfully, and turned his back upon the home of his childhood and went out into the world of sin, to make his own way. You ask me what sin is and I will tell you that it is the awful power that drags young men and young women from the influence of a good home from all that is pure and noble and uplifting, from a life of hope and grace and leads them into all that is bad and degrading and leaves them a vagabond and a creature without character. But you do not have to take my word for it. Suppose we call witness. What is sin. Notice Ezekiel 18:4 and you will find that "the soul that sinneth, it shall die." James the apostle tells us that "sin brings forth death." we will ask the apostle Paul for he of all the apostles should know for before Christ met him on the way to Damascus he was the chief of sinners and he will tell you that "the wages of sin is death." No man works unless he knows the wages he is to get. There is being built in Nashville now a mammoth powder plant and Black men and white men are being called upon to work. The very first question asked by the men is "What are you going to give me." They want to know the wage for which they are to work. I present to you this morning power plants, soldiers, and the doctor who always wars and who always will be. is asking for laborers. As a wage he offers you life everlasting and eternal happiness and joy and a glorious reunion at the last day when the trump of God shall sound. On the other hand we have Satan who is also looking for laborers and as a wage he offers you death. You will remember that there are two kinds of death. First there is the physical death. Christians welcome this death for to them it simply means a sleep, to them it simply means a wake away of this life of God. Then to them it with God. On the other hand there is a death such as comes to the sinner, a death whose end is in a lake that burns with fire and briststone, where the worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched. I want you to pray with me this morning and decide which of the two you will take. The prodigal son is now out in a far country. He is a handsome young man of splendid health and physique. Diamonds are on his fingers and he is garbed in royal apparel. All the society element are asking. "Have you met Mr. Prodigial? O he is such a delightful young man! So handsome I think he is just splendid and he has such little feet" All the mothers with marriageable daughters are setting their bonnets for Mr. Prodigial. "Oh mother you just must let us entertain for Mr. Prodigial. He is such a lovely girl. You are such an Old Lady Lot how she set her cap to catch the rich young men of Sodom. Hear me this morning young men and young women. As long as you have splendid health and money in you pocket, as long as you are able to attend every dance and movie and entertainment given in the city and give your friends a good time as long as you are able to keep up with society the world will flatter you but when you health is gone and your health is still good you are been pillaged and you character blighted and your future hopeless the world will kick you out the back door and suit in your face. Nashville is entering upon an era of prosperity never before witnessed in the history of the city. The government is building a powder plant in our midst and black men as well as white men are making money. I plead with you oh people of my race, save some of the money that comes to you, own property and pay taxes and be law abiding citizens. Make your influence felt in the community for good. The prodigal son was very generous. I imagine I hear him "How much for this or that? "Five dollars? I'll take it." How much for the dance tonight? Ten dollars? I'll go. How much for that diamond? Five banned dollars. Well, give him a black check. And so on a bill he had spent all. is any thing that we as a race must teach our boys and girls it is the value of the dollar. Some of us live so that after we have been paid off Saturday about four o'clock on Monday morning we have not enough left in our pockets to stop a bread wagon. The man without money in his pocket is of no use to him or anyone one else and reminds me of the story that was told by the late Booker Washington about a man who wanted to cross on a ferry belonging to an old Negro. This white man did not have a penny and attempted to borrow from Uncle Ned. Uncle Ned laughed and said to him, "Now look here boss you want to cross this river?" The man replied that he did. "Well I ain't gwine to carry you across to day boss, cause a man that ain't got no money in his pocket is as well off on one side of the river as the other." And so it is with my people or any other people. Never spend your last dollar for as with the prodigal son so with you for the Bible tells us that there arose a mighty famine in that land. A mighty famine arose in the land and the prodigal so1 had spent his last dollar. In studying this story I am more and more of the opiniaion that the prodigal had not only spent his last dollar but he had spent more than that. He had spent all he possessed. His money was gone and his health was gone, his good name was gone and instead of the handsome, healthy, robust, noble pure young fellow who had left his fathers house a short while ago he was physically weak. Immorality, vice and late hours had sapped his strength and he is now a puny vicious and ordinary tramp in a land suffering from a famine, a dreary, parching, awful famine that hung like a pall over the country destroying life and carrying sucering and death in its wake to every living thing. And the prodigal began to be in want. No money, no health, he did not know where he would spend the night. He goes to his wicked companions and tries to borrow from them but they laugh him to scorn. "No money," they sal 'well that is tough. Thought you were rich. Tell your troubles to some one else don't tell them to me." And the prodigal hires himself to a farmer in that country to feed swine. When you remember that the prodigal son was a Jew and that the Jews had nothing for a swine to do you will see just how complete was the degradation of this young man. I have always thought that this man did not even hire the prodigal son but that the boy just attached himself to him by hanging around the barn and begging food. The man would not give him food be cause food was scarce but contemplatively offered him the job to look after the swine, perhaps to rid himself of his company. But the prodigal was in desperate straits and accepts the proposition. Night comes on. The prodigal lays himself down to sleep by the swine though like Jacob of old he has a stone under his head for a pillow and he dreams. He dreams that he is at home. It is meal time, non time in the country. The horns are blowing and the whistles can be heard in the distance. Father and the other brothers have brought the horses to the barn. The geese are cackling, the ducks are crying. The old gate creaks with a loud noise as it swings on its rusty hinges. It is dinner time and all the live stock are anxiously awaiting their portion. The smell of the food reaches the barn. Father and the elder brother and the prodigal go to the house. They are seated at the table. The pie such as only mother can make cools on the table. They bow their head. Father says grace. The prodigal is just about to pass his plate for mother to serve him. The dream vanishes. The night is dark about him, the earth is parched, the winds are howling, his stomach is empty. he thinks of the meals used to prepare. The earl amph, the excellent pies, the fresh butter milk. He came to himself in that far country. He was ragged, sick and cruel and yet his father's hired servants had plenty and to spare. He resolved to arise and go to his father. But Satan comes to him. He says to him, "you can not go this way. You have no shoes on, your coat is torn. The very dogs at your father's gate will bite you." But the droglal says shoeless, coatless, ragged, poor, just as I am, I will arise and go to my father. Hear me young men and young woman. It takes will power to get religion. It takes a hero to say live or die survive or perish, sink or swim, I will arise and go to my father. A man's will power makes him the master of his own destiny. Improperly governed a man's will power can make him a goddess or a monk or a Christ. Benedict Arnold or a Blood Mary. If Satan is allowed to govern your will power you can be made to do anything that is low and degrading.

I am reminded of a story of a boy who was trapped in a three story building. The flames cut off all ways of exit. The boy was seen at a window and the fireman called to him to jump to the mattress that they were holding below. The boy looked backward and saw the flames. He looked down and saw the pavement beyond the mattress. What if he should miss jumping? He was animated. About that time his father seeing his hesitation, ran under the window and put his hand on the mattress. "Jump son" he called to the boy, "Father is holding the mattress." The boy jumped and the father caught him. God the Father is asking that you jump out of sin today. He will catch you. God the Father, God the Son and the blessed Holy Spirit are holding the mattress. The church of Jesus Christ is holding out to you life eternal if you will only accept it today. I know when I leaped thirty-six years ago. I remember when he took my feet out of the mire and out of the clay and placed them upon the rock of eternal ages, when He put a new song in my mouth and put my name in the Lamb's book of life.

The Prodigial said, "I am going home." Let us follow him backward. The father sees him afar off. He sees his coming home. He watches every step he takes as he crosses the streams and climbs the mountains. He says to you this morning poor sinner, "The word is nigh thee even in thy mouth." You say to accept the word just now is so sudden. That you must have more time but my dear friends you are spending too much time in sin now. The Saddest wall in sinning wasted." All of the years in sinning wasted. How old are you today. Have you ever counted the years that you have spent in the service of Satan? Christ can save you today if you will trust. The Thief was dying on the cross. The death rattle was in his throat. He turned his dying eyes to the Saviour and said, "Lord when thou somest into the kingdom remember me." Christ the Saviour stop dying long enough to take this soul with him. "This day shall thy soul be with me in paradise." There was a woman at the Pool of Bethesda. He had been there for thirty-eight years waiting for some one to put him in the pool. Christ passed by "Wouldst thou be made whole" he asked him. The man replied that there was no one to put him in the pool. But the Christ asked "Wouldst thou be made whole?" The man replied "Yea Lord" "Take up thy bed and walk" Christ commanded him and the man walked. Christ is in this church this morning. He is walking down the sides of the First Baptist Church this very minute with ten thousand blessings in his hand. He is a rock in a weary land and a shelter in the time of storm.

When the last enemy called death shall have been put under his feet and there shall be no more sorrow and no more death. I have often thought that when I shall have seen the God the Father and shall have visited the sea of glass all mingled with fire that I shall ask to see my mother and with her I shall walk the streets of the city and cast my crown at the feet of the Saviour. Oh it will be a glorious day when out of every nation and tribe shall come forth the redeemed of the Lord. We are reminded of John on the island of Patmos, when he saw the redeemed of the Lord coming forth. Out the tribe of threwive threwive the tribe of Nathalia twelve thousand and all the tribes of Israel had sent forth their number and John began to add them up making a sum total of one hundred and forty-four thousand out of Israel who had been redeemed. He then looked and saw another multitude and began to count them. After he had exhausted every figure of calculation, he threw down his pencil and exclaimed, "Behold the multitude which no man can number." Oh it will be a glorious day when the Gentiles begin to pour into the kingdom, out of Nashville, out of every state in the Union, out of Canada and South America and Africa, and China and India and the uttermost parts of the earth and when I get there as I shall some day, I shall ask the angel who will conduct me through the city to go and get my mother and with her I shall walk through the city and live in the presence of God's everlasting grace with her for ever and ever.

Association, composed of the officers who received military training at the Officers Training Camp at Fort Des Mothes, Iowa, June 15 to October 15, 1917, has presented to Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, a heavy gold monogrammed ring, designed by the Association. The ring bears the insignia of the Association, surrounding the letters "U. S. A." Raised eagles, with the coat-of-arms of the United States, support the Seal on either side. By reason of the sentiment attaching to the gift and the fact that it will serve as a souvenir that may be handed down as a family heirloom, Mr. Scott values it very highly, and is deeply touched by this additional evidence of the esteem in which he is held by the gallant men of Officers' Training Camp at Fort Des Moines. His visit to this hallowed ground, as the bearer of a message of cheer from the Secretary of War, was the first official act of his honored and helpful career in connection with the War Department. MISS WATERS NOT TO TEACH AT HOWARD. Washington, D. C., Fo. 19—Miss Phyllis Wheatley Waters, the gifted daughter of Col. and Mrs. Phil Waters, of Charleston, W. Va., was recently appointed instructor in French at Howard University. She was named by President Newman upon the recommendation of Judge Atkinson, of the Howard Board of Education, by the endorsement of Senator Howard Sutherland, of West Virginia, and Prof. L. B. Moore, dean of Teachers' College of Howard University. It is to be regretted, however, that Miss Walters has been compelled to decline the assignment, for the reason that she is under contract as associate principal of the High School at Gary, Ind., and a special instructor at the University of City, and the Gary Board of Education finds it impossible to release their star teacher at this time. Miss Waters is an honor graduate of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor and during her career in the high school and at the University she made a brilliant record as an athlete and for a number of terms was captain of the basket ball team. She enjoys the distinction of being the first colored girl in the history of the University of Michigan to win her in athletics, and she was no less proficient in her scholastic triumph. The social and intellectual life of Washington will suffer a great loss in the inability of Miss Waters to come to the capital at this time. MEHARRY DAY AT ST. JOHN.

New York, Feb. 18.—(Special to the Globe.)—President Wilson, through J. P. Tumulty, Secretary to the President, acknowledged the receipt of the Association's telegram of protest of the 13th inst., against the torturing and at Estill Springs, Tenn., and said that the matter would be brought to the attention of the Attorney General. The following letter was sent to Governor Rye of Tennessee: Honorable T. C. Rye, Governor, Nashville, Tenn. Dear Sir: I wired you yesterday in a night letter from Washington as follows: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, speaking in the name of its ninety branches and of the thousand members, called the behalf of the nation, on zenith of the whole country, appeals to you to take action to bring to justice the perpetrators of the foul wrong against the honor of your State in lynching and torturing on Tuesday night Jim M'Ilberon, a Negro accused of murder. Thousands of colored men in your state and the nation now serving their country in the murder of a swain Tennessee's answer to their appeal for justice at home." This Association, composed of representative citizens of both races, believes that such outrages as the one against which we protest are independible at any time but are particularly offensive and dangerous to the public welfare when the nation is engaged in a life and death struggle against autocratic powers. Such outrages as this, the third one to occur in your state within nine months, place America in an unenviable position when she seeks to protest, however rightfully, against Belgian atrocities committed by German soldiers. Memphis, Dyersburg and now Estill Springs. We ask, for the information of the newspapers receiving our press service, what the great state of Tennessee proposes to do in regard to the violators of her law. I am sure that it is your desire to put the best police and detective ability that can be secured on the trail of these violators of public order. Should lack of funds be an embarrassment to you, this Association offers to put at your disposel funds for this service. Sincerely yours, (Signed) John R. Shillady, Secretary MEIGS SCHOOL. On account of the extremely cold weather the Parent-Teachers' Association of Meigs School has been seriously handicapped in holding its meetings this winter. Since is organization four years ago, this association has been a source of great help to the unfortunate children living in the vicinity. Each year a concert is given, the proceeds of which are turned over to the treasury. The money has been used to improve sanitary conditions at the school and to purchase shoes and other clothing for indigent children whose humble circumstances would have forced them to remain out of school had it not been for the aid thus furnished. Sometimes ago the Association placed two modern drinking fountains on the school grounds and this we feel NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY MARCH 1, 1918 has been a great safeguard to the health of the children. Each year between forty and fifty children have been provided with necessary clothing. During the past four years the organization has spent approximately four hundred dollars. We feel that this body is meeting the needs set forth in the community, for throuston its activities many destitute homes have been reached in a sympathetic and helpful way. It is our hope that the work may continue to grow and that more parents and friends may become actively interested in what we are doing to benefit the children. In these strenuous times through which we are passing, let us serve our country by training the boys and girls in the arts and by constantly holding up before them the beauty of rendering service to others. We have planned the next meeting of the association to be held at Meigs school, March the eighth, at 2:30 p.m. We have secured Dr. S. L. M. Dowell, pastor First Baptist Church, Eighth Avenue, North. He is to bring a message that will be helpful to all who may hear him. We are asking all parents and friends to be present.

Banks, of Mound Bayou, was a student. Mrs. Banks is still in Bessemer, the queen of her sister, and it is reported that Dr. Gregg is now entirely out of danger. THE PRICE OF WAR. I wonder where did Mr. Hoover Ever get that notion. To gather all the meat and lard To send across the ocean? Its meatless days and wheatless days, You hear from morn til night, And everywhere a Hoover card, A hanging in your sight. Its lightless days, no city's bright As once they used to be, And everybody just a knitting, Fast as they can be. A nickle won't buy nothing now, Without the extra penny, Just think, the worst is yet to come, This only the beginning. And eggs, they are so blessed high Poor folks don't dare to buy them, And shoes, dear things, not less than five, I just can't hardly wear them. They say it takes all this to win. They say it takes all this to win. But right, not so this here thing could But right now this here thing could and so far I'm concerned. Words by Rose Lee McCornell, Wartrace, Tenn.

THE HOARDING RULE DOES NOT APPLY TO HOMES. We are glad to see that the Food Administration at Washington hastens to correct a misapprehension created among housewives and consumers by the order with regard to "hoarding" more than thirty days' supplies issued on January 12. That order was intended to apply mainly to dealers, manufacturers, wholesale and retail grocers, hotels and restaurants, and not to the private housekeeper. The Food Administration desires especially to emphasize the fact that the order has no bearing whatever on canned goods which housekeepers put up last summer and fall, and which they still have on hand. They were urged to as much as could food as possible, and as much as a ton of it in a private parry it will not be disturbed. Housewives have a right to sell these goods, or to hold on to them as long as they please. There is no reason why they should part with them if they prefer to keep them. And the Government wants them to resume canning this year and to add to their stock without fear of interference. The larger the amount of canned goods put up by housekeepers the better off their families will be and the better off the country will be. If they have more than they need they can always find a ready market for them, and thus add to their household incomes and to the food supply of the nation. The misinterpretation of housekeeping unnatural in view of its rather general phraseology, but the thing for the housewife to remember now is that her canned goods are absolutely safe and that they do not come within the purview of the hoarding order. Nor is there any intention of giving a drastic application to the clause of the order which prohibits the purchase by consumers of more than the usual amount of food. In point of fact cities often have a week's supply of food on hand, and in the country his pantry has usually to be restocked Black and White Ointment.

The consumer, whether in city or country, is not the person that the Food Administration is directing its edicts against. It is gunning for the big foe who makes a business of foodselling and who may be self-selfly inlined to corner the products in which they are interested. The average consumer has been the real patron all along. The Government does not have to put the screws on him. Mr. Hoover comes to him or to her hat in hand, with "please," not "must." And he is going to make another appeal to you, sir, and to you, madame, to eat still less four and still less meat in order that he may respond to the calls for help that are coming to us from Great Britain and France.

Dr. Bray is known as one of the most scholarly and fluent pulpit orators of the Negro race. He is said to be easily one of the strongest and best men of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church. He has the reputation of a high-minded, progressive leader who keeps abreast of the times. He has covered the entire field of effort necessary to fit a minister to the bishopric in the C. Church and become known throughout the country as one of the strongest possibilities for election at the General Conference of the C. M. E. Church at St. Louis in May. The themes of Faithfulness, Preparedness, Efficiency and Consecration characterized the sermon he delivered at Capers Chapel last Sunday morning, and the addresses delivered at Walden and Meharry, where Dr. Bray visited and spoke to students at the Farmers' Conference at Lane College, Jackson, Teen. It is generally expected that Dr. Bray will get the largest vote for the bishopric of any one considered for that high office at the Conference in May. Many of the strongest and largest conferences are said to be favoring the election of Dr. Bray. He is a graduate of Atlanta University and a post-graduate student of Harvard University. Dr. Bray has been a successful teacher, edifor, pastor and college president. He fills a large and responsible position as a general officer of the C. M. E. Church with office and residence at Birmingham, Alabama.

His funeral was attended last Thursday morning at the Fifteenth Ave. Baptist Church, by the pastor, Rev. A. W. Porter and Rev. J. C. Fields of the Pleasant Green Baptist Church. The church was packed to its utmost capacity with sorrowing friends of the deceased. The church sustained a loss of two of its oldest deacons in less time than two weeks. "Peace be to their ashes." Deacon Wade leaves a wife, three daughters, one son, grandchildren, sister, brother and a host of relatives and friends to mourn his loss.

Shobelia Tenn, Feb. 27, 1918. Mr. George Henry Cummings departed this life to be a c. m. He was married to Mrs. Fence Cheatham of Nashville in November, where he made his home. He underwent an operation at McMillan's hospital, Nashville, and then was removed to his mother's home when the end came. He professed a hope in Christ. He called his mother to his bedside and told her he was happy. He did not know what to do. He praised the Lord till he was so weak he could not say any more. He leaves to mourn their loss a mother, wife, two children, three brothers and one sister. The funeral services were conducted at his home by the Rev. With Cannon. Burial at Mt. Ararat Ceme.

(Continued from page 1.) to a new constellation of eighty-seven stars, each of which is shining forth with the brilliancy of the first magnitude. Every twinkle of these stars represents hardship, sacrifice and self-denial, represents undying love, devotion and loyalty to the stars and stripes. Yes, they represent the onward and upward march of the new Negro, who no pleads for the mercy and pity of the world, but, with a sound body, a cultured hind and an independent spirit, asks for a man's chance. Dedicatory Address-How feeble and inadequate are our commensurate with the deeds of heroesism and valor to which these men have voluntarily consigned their lives. Yes, we unfurl to the breezes of the world today the Meharry Service Flag, made possible by the courage of black men who fearlessly take the pen of fate in hand and dare to write their names in shimmering brightness upon their country's banner. While paying this debt of gratitude, in an effort to give honor to whom honor is due, I trust gentlemen that we are not unmindful of the fact that he who gives her son or her husband his money or sweetheart over to the military service of their country, and then sit up nights knitting comfort bags Shall the threats of a king of Strike terror to the hearts of And cause them their rights And vell their bright stars to No. I'll face any peril Oh, I If the pen with the lines wi Care I for dangers or dread When the star spangled bar Let not her stars from the star By the proud Tyrant's green I'll safe-guard the spot where If the pen with the lines wi The flag that awakened and Restored men their freedom Her voice like a mother rea She calls men to colors and Be thine my life and my we If the pen with the lines wi No longer recall I the deeds And the laws which burden No hyphen nor coward, no Just men, real men, though Set free the trench gases, th If the pen with the lines wi Shall the threats of a king though mighty is he, Strike terror to the hearts of men who are free?

Our people are intently listening and praying that you may find it in your heart to speak that word." The President received the delegation cordially and granted them an afternoon lasting half an hour. He assured them of effect, that he would carefully examine the record in the case of the condemned men and would give the whole matter his sympathetic attention. A surprising incident at the interview was that the President declared he had not heard anything about the Estill Springs burning. He asked the committee to state the facts for him, which the committee did. The President expressed the opinion that could hardly believe it true that such thing had happened. The delegation confirmed that not only was it true in the case at Estill Springs, but that similar incidents had happened at Memphis, Tenn., and Dyersburg, Tenn., also. until the proud tyrant's greed for gold and umpire shall have been rendered absolutely neutral, thrown out of the solution of the world's peace and progress, thus forming an insoluble and harmless precipitate, never again to acquire its active acid properties with which to corrode the minds of all the freedom-loving people of the earth. Democracy in spirit and practice, as well as in theory and name, is the only form of democracy that can hope to endure the ages; all other forms must perish from the earth, must tortor to their fall and great will be their fall. Only a few days ago, when the Meharry Colleges had been transformed into a veritable recruiting station, which persisted one of the most impressive scenes that has ever been mine to behold, the flower of the young manhood of our race in this country placed their lives upon the altar of their country, a strange thought suggested itself—What a pity, what a shame, what an outrage upon human justice would it be should those who write the history of the future fail to record the part which the men of my race are playing in an effort to save the world for democracy. Before retiring that night I wrote down just a few words in rhyme, with which I shall close these few remarks. though mighty is he, of men who are free? ts, which are just to disclaim, and their souls too with shame? life's blood be poured, will be fair to the sword. d I a foe, banner old Glory says go, galaxy won, ed for gold and for gain, here her precepts are stored. will be fair to the sword. d lifted the curse, and raised them from serf, sounds on the air, d bids them to dare, health that is hoard. will be fair to the sword. dts that are past, n and bind me to task, traitor nor slacker, th the color be black, the shells to explode, will be fair to the sword. President Hubbard, directed by the members of the Alumni Association, I now take very great pleasure in presenting to you this emblem, made possible by the loyal sons whom this institution has sent forth into the world to serve mankind. I thank you. When Dr. Taylor had finished, the mammoth audience was in his possession, but the climax was not reached however until the service was honored by two McMahry students and the two large electric lights blazed upon them. The flag unfurled, the audience is stood while the McMahry quartette led in --- Don't be a Slackc. PORO ---is in 10,000 Homes; is it in yours? A. E. singing "America." At the conclusion a short talk was made by President McKenzie of Fisk University who said: Mr. President, fellow educators of the Press, ladies and gentlemen: I am very glad indeed to be here this afternoon to express my own interest in the raising of the Service I扎s of Meharry Medical College and to bring with me the congratulations of Fisk University. I broke two important engagements in order that I might be here. I am interested in your Flag event as I am interested in our Flag. At Fisk we have something over seventy stars and shall have more and more stars to go by. Whether in the end we shall have more stars than Meharry I cannot tell; this I do know—that some of your stars are our stars also. If it were not for Fisk you would not have some of your stars. The raising of the Service Flag at our institutions brings to us a unity of spirit which is symbolic of the fact that unity in this world consists first 'the unity of a common goal, rather than in the unity of affairs as they exist at the present moment. Having turned our eyes to the goal beyond we forget the minor differences. There have been times in the history of our institutions when competition in athletic affairs has been far from introducing unity into our relationship. But as we have seen and as our minds centered on the challenges they represent we develop a unity of spirit which has never before been equalled. Like your President, I too hope that there may develop a closer relationship between our institutions than ever existed in the former golden days of Cravath and Hubbard. The raising of the Meharry Flag and the Fisk Flag is only a part of the thought in my mind today, for undoubtedly there is a Walden Service Flag, and a Roger Williams Service Flag and throughout our Southern lands there is a Flag representative of every colored school, indicative of the unity of purpose prevailing throughout all our schools. And I look beyond the colored schools and I see the Service Flag in the United schools throughout the whole United States, and I see the common purpose of all our schools colored and white at all, the common goal, the common ambition of them all. And beyond the schools, I see the churches with their Flags, industry with its Flags, and I behold a unity of the Nation, and such as a Nation we never knew before. Nor do we stop with the Nation, for across the seas on every hand in east and west, north and south, we see the Flags of nearly all the countries of the world, raising with our Flag to express a unity undreamed of, undreamed of by men even in this our great twentieth century. And as we watch these Flags representative of the unity within the Nation and the unity between the Nations, we are reminded of the day when there shall no longer be Jew or Gentle, bond or free and before our eyes there rises in the view that Flag which was suggested by little at all, who looked out the window at night and mother that God was putting on His Service Flag in the sky. For it is the Flag of God, as it is the Flag of humanity, which we are raising over the nations of the world, a Flag binding together the nation and the hearts of men the globe around a flag sacred because it represents the common aspirations of men everywhere. And in conclusion, let me suggest that out of that future unity, out of that unity of a common purpose, out of that unity of a divine goal and ambition, there will come back to us in our nearby, everyday life a unity which shall do away with the divisions now so common and so costly among us—the divisions of denominations, of sects, of classes, of states My FREE Book Tells HOW Make up your mind to throw off the shackles that have held you back in life's race for the share of prosperity and happiness that rightfully belongs to you.

For the great Service Flag designed by the Father above is raised to represent the new brotherhood of man in the new federation of the world. Mr. J. C. Napier spoke as follows: Mr. President, Members of the Press Association, ladies and gentlemen: I deem it a great privilege to be permitted to say a word to you on this occasion on behalf of the Board of Trustees of Meharry Medical College. That this college has enlisted in our National Army eighty-seven of its alumni and students is no small things to boast of. The Board trustees are as proud of this military force as they are of the many successes accomplished of these men in the Civil and Medical world. These stars represent the patriotism of the whole school and emphasize the fact that all the rest are ready and willing to offer their services, their blood and their lives whenever their country calls. Not only is this the sentiment of the student body, but if necessary the faculty, headed by our beloved president is willing whenever occasion demands, to do as he has done in the past, shoulder our guns and go forth to fight our country, in the behalf of liberty, freedom and democracy, and world we go we shall remain in the trenches until the world is safe and grounded and rooted in a democracy which means freedom, liberty, equality and a fair deal for every man of every race on the face of earth. We love peace as much and perhaps more than any other group of people in the world but now that the fight has begun the battle is on, it is our purpose, our determination to remain in it until the cause of democracy is crowned with victory the day and until the hydra headed monster of both peace is driven completely out of every part of our beloved land both north and south. It is most fitting that the unfurling of this Service Flag has taken place in the presence of the National Negro Press Association now holding its sessions in this city. On behalf of the Board of Trustees I wish to thank these gentlemen for their presence with us on this occasion as well also for the long and continued fight that they have put through all these years in behalf of human rights and against the many wrongs that our race has so long and so patiently borne. Our sincere thanks are also due the Nashville Banner for its recent strong and bold editorials against lynching and for its course in properly spelling the word Negro with a capital N. The Hon. Judge M. T. Bryant was present, and on invitation spoke of his pleasure of witnessing this occasion, declaring that both his ancestors were southerners by birth, questioning sympathy. He said he was glad to see the loyal support given by Meharry to the service of the country, and assured them that they have his best wishes for their success in this great struggle for the support of Democracy throughout the entire world. Rev. Henry Allen Boyd then spoke briefly and introduced the Hon. W. E. King, Editor of the Dallas Express, Dallas, Texas, who had been selected by the National Negro Press Association as its representative. He spoke of his personal acquaintance with Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Anderson, who have during the past year given $10,000 toward the erection of the Anderson Anatomical Hall, and his knowledge of a large number of the Meharry graduates and the good students in their different fields of labor. He congratulated the president and institution on the number of stars shown on the Service Flag, and expressed his belief that they would make an honorable record for themselves, their Alma Mater and their race.
