LABOR SHOULD STAND FIRM NATIONAL NEGRO HEALTH WEEK To Be Observed April 22-28, 1917 VOLUME XVII. NO. 25 LABOR SHO STAN UNUSUAL OPPORTUNITIES AWAIT THOSE WHO REMAIN WITH SOUTHERN INDUSTRIES Opening of Spring Will Mark Beginning of Unprecedented Activity in Southern Manufacturing and Shipping Circles Financial Harvest Await Truck Gatherers. Plenty of work at good wages is the outlook for labor during the next few months throughout the South, and especially in Norfolk and the Tidewater section. The opening of Spring will bring renewed activity among the manufacturing industries and the harvesting and marketing of the Spring truck crop will demand a larger force of laborers than ever. Good Wages Will Prevail. The natural scarcity of labor places that indispensable commodity in great demand and necessarily increases wages and the supply of labor. The indications are that any man willing to work will have an opportunity now to use his earning power to the maximum as the demand for labor opens to the working man unusual opportunities for steady and profitable employment. Financial Harvest for Truck Gatherers and Freight Handlers. Norfolk is celebrated the world over as the marketing and shipping center of one of the country's greatest trucking sections. Millions of dollars' worth of produce is assembled here every Spring to be removed to the Northern markets. The gathering of this enormous crop requires the services of thousands of laborers and the loading of it on steamers and railroad cars requires several thousand more. This work is all done by colored labor the gathering by men, women and children, and the loading by men, and the trucking season alone, which lasts several months, usually puts in circulation more than a million dollars among the laboring classes. Much of This Money Is Wisely Invested. Much of the money earned during the Spring trucking and shipping season is saved and wisely invested by the labor classes. Business generally "picks up" with the stores, savings banks, building associations and real estate dealers during the period that the trucking season money is in circulation. On real estate dealer reported to the Journal and Guide that he sold $3,000,000 worth of building lots to Negroes during one month of last year's trucking season. Great Demand for Labor During Summer. Many great industrial developments now in contemplation here, the building of the Cape Henry fortifications, the extension of the Belt Line Railroad and government activities at the Navy Yard give rise to the greatest demand for labor ever experienced in this section of the country. All of the work outlined above is of a desirable character and will pay splendid wages. One of the largest employers of labor in the State said to a representative of the Journal and Guide yesterday that "the employing class would have no quarrel with labor here, such as now exists in many parts of the North, but reasonable demands and requirements of the laboring classes here would be properly taken care of." No Need To Seek Employment North. "There is no need," said he, "for Southern Negroes to leave their native environments to seek labor in a strange land, among strange employers, and expose themselves to the dangers of competition with cheap and undesirable foreign labor. I still insist that there is no important issue between Southern capital and Southern labor that cannot be settled to the satisfaction of all concerned." LABORERS RETURN SOUTH Dissatisfied with Wages and Conditions -Offered Them in New Jersey. (Special to Journal and Guide.) Greensboro, N. C.—Dissatisfied with wages and living conditions offered them in New Jersey, where they went a month ago to work, thirty-five colored men returned to Greensboro today. The men said that living conditions were intolerable in the labor camps and that the wages were no better than those paid in this state for work of a similar character. The men declared that they had only enough money left to return home after their living expenses had been deducted by the company employing them. They expressed great disappointment over their Northern venture. The Journal and Guide COLORED ASHEVILLE AIDS BELGIAN BABIES Will Take Care Of Seventy-Five At Rate Of $1.00 Per Month Each. Women's Club Formed. (By J. H. Hamilton.) Asheville, N. C.—At the Song Service at Y. M. I., Sunday the 18th, Dr. Geo. T. Winston (white) gave a talk in behalf of the Belgian suffering babies and asked that colored people do something to aid in the fund now being raised for them. He stated that from three colored schools he had visited in the last week naming Catholic Hill, Hill Street, and Rev. Dusenbery, the children had pledged to care for about 25 at $1.00 per month. After he had gotten through speaking Prof N. M. Martin said he thought the Y. M. I. would care for 29 at the same rate. Dr. Winston arose and said if they did he would make the white Y. M. C. A. care for 100 at the same rate, and also added that the white people should be ashamed to look the colored people in the face, taking into consideration the small wages they are paying the colored people, during these times of high cost of living. Mr. Martin called on Mr. Plummer, president of the Asheville Power & Light Co., who was present and said, he did not come to make a speech, but wanted to take the opportunity to tell his colored friends of the noble service the colored men gave him last Summer when the flood had his plant under mud and water. How they worked night and day to help him restore light and street car service to the city, when the white laborers failed to stick. He agreed with Dr. Winston that the colored people were not receiving sufficient wages to live under the high cost of living. Mrs. Zora Moore, 17 Adkins street, has been confined to her room for the past two weeks. Mrs. Nannie Copery, who went to Cincinnati, Ohio, some months ago, is visiting her mother on Sassafras street. Mr. Albert Jordan gave a dinner party in honor of Mr. Lawson Randall, Jr., March 9th. Mr. Randall graduated from Hampton Institute in 1913 from the agriculture department, for some time he was employed in the Horticulture Department at this institute. Last Summer he secured a position in Oklahoma as farm demonstrator, and was succeeded at Hampton Institute by H. H. Hamilton of Asheville, who graduated from this department in 1914. Mr. Randall came home last week and will probably remain here permanently. Those present at the dinner were: Miss Edith Bailey of Hampton, Va.; Miss Randall of Boston, Mass.; Mr. and Mrs. Dola Miller, Miss Grace Gardiner, Miss Fannie Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. Maek Lynch, Messrs. Wade, McDowell and Griffin of Asheville. Dr. C. W. Dunston, physician of Wilmington, N. C., came up last Saturday to visit Mrs. Vera Dunston, his wife, who has been spending some time with her mother, Mrs. Mary Hairston, of 57 Short street. Mrs. Dunston presented him with an eight-pound girl Sunday morning about 6 a.m. Mother and child doing nicely at this writing. Mrs. Mary Tolbert, president of the National Federation of Women's Clubs, was in Asheville on March 16th and organized a local branch of the national body. Thirty-five or forty Asheville ladies met Mrs. Tolbert and joined the movement. Charles Edward Russell Praises France for Liberal Treatment of Black Colonists. Philadelphia, Pa.—Charles Edward Russell, author and Socialist, praises France because "the narrow, blind hatred of race prejudice is unknown there." Mr. Russell spoke on "Race Prejudices" in the Broad Street Theatre under the auspices of the Socialist Literary Society. The speaker declared race prejudices were rampant in this country and deserved the tendency of the white race to consider itself superior to other races of the world. This country, he said, was constantly bungling the Negro problem. He denounced the lynchings in the Southern States, and added: "Unless race prejudices are eliminated in this country the crust of the volcano on which we are sitting will give way very soon." "France," continued Mr. Russell, "has given the Negro true citizenship. In France liberty, equality and fraternity are not hollow mockeries and empty dreams. In the Chamber of Deputies black men sit side by side with whites. France has never desired to draw a color line.

LAYMEN'S CONVENTION CAMPAIGN IN FULL SWING Convention To Open In Armory Hall Sunday Afternoon, April 1st. Noted Speakers. Plans have been completed for the Laymen's Missionary Movement Convention and the campaign of preparation is in full swing. The Convention will open on Sunday afternoon, April 1st, in the Armory Hall and continue Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning, afternoon and night at the First Baptist Church (Bute street). All sessions are open to everybody, men, women and children. The delegates will be made up of the men and their pastors from the churches of Norfolk and vicinity. Every man in every church may (and should) become a delegate. No collections will be taken at any of the sessions. The Laymen's Missionary Movement does not send Missionaries away nor does it raise money for any board, thus this is not an effort to secure money for missions at this time. The expense of the Convention will be met by a registration or enrollment fee from each of the delegates. This fee entitles one to a seat badge and all the privileges. In order to make it convenient for a large number to register, Sunday, March 25th, has been fixed as general Registration Day and a Registration Committee will be at work in each church. Register with the committee in your church or at the headquarters, Colored Y. M. C. A. To further stimulate interest in this Convention, Booster meetings will be held in various districts into which the city has been divided for this purpose. All the churches South of and including Queen Street, comprise District No. 1 and will meet at St. John's A. M. E. at 3:30 o'clock. All the churches north of Queen street, including Barboursville and Huntersville, comprise District No. 2 and will meet at St. Luke C. M. E. Church at 3 o'clock. The churches of Berkley comprise District No. 3 and will meet at First Baptist Church at 4 o'clock. The churches of Portsmouth comprise District No. 4, and the Executive Secretary will speak to them in connection with the Knights of Pythians annual meeting at Zion Bantist Church. One of the most significant features of these conventions is the Fellowship Supper or banquet, and as has been the case in other cities a committee of ladies representing the various churches will serve this supper to the registered delegates without additional cost to them. Mrs. Lillian McRae is chairman and Mrs. E. Virginia Butts, secretary of this committee. Y. M. C. A. NEWS. A round-table talk was the program last Sunday afternoon. A competitive campaign for raising funds for the Association is brewing. The "Progressives" have challenged the "Reliables" to a contest which probably will be held next month. Rev. W. G. Hamilton, pastor Bethany Presbyterian Church, will address the meeting for men next Sunday afternoon, 4:30 p. m.

PRICE FIVE CENTS MOVEMENT FOR BETTER STREETS MOVEMENT FOR BETTER STREETS MONROE WARD COLORED CIVIC WELFARE LEAGUE ORGANIZED TUESDAY NIGHT. Will Begin At Once Active Movement To Secure Municipal Improvements In The Ward—Conditions Characterized As "Unparalleled In Modern City Government." With the object of securing some relief from the intolerable street conditions, poor fire protection, lights and police protection in the colored section of their ward, the Monroe Ward Colored Civic Welfare League was organized Tuesday night at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church on Johnson Avenue. About forty men, all property owners in the ward responded to the call for the meeting. "This movement needs leadership of a legal character," said P. B. Young, in proposing James M. Harrison, attorney-at-law as permanent chairman of the organization. Mr. Harrison was named as head of the organization with Thomas Frazier, secretary and Wade H. Plummer, treasurer. Mr. Whitfield was made chaplain and Jas. A. Cotton sergeant-at-arms. Not Seeking Political Favors. "This organization is not seeking political favors," said Mr. Harrison, in formally opening the meeting. "What we are seeking, and what we must insist upon having is justice at the hands of the city administration in the distribution of municipal improvements. We are living under intolerable conditions, which we cannot longer endure in silence. I am convinced that vigorous action is necessary to arouse us to a consciousness of our dilemma and that strenuous measures will be necessary to bring the proper authorities to a proper realization of their obligations to us as taxpayers and citizens." Conditions Characterized As Unparalleled. "The street and other sanitary conditions in this section of the city are unparalleled in modern city government," said P. B. Young, in an address in which he urged the men to bestir themselves. "Nowhere else that I know of," said the speaker, "does so much valuable property, such splendid taxable values, skirt as much impassable, unnavigable dirt road as we have here. We have endowed by petition direct to the administrative powers, to secure relief. We have endowed to reach their consciences through social uplifters; we have tried to appeal to their sense of justice through the press, all to no avail There is one other course open and that is to take them into the courts, and I am ready to take that course. I think it is about time that we should determine our status as citizens and taxpayers." Others who spoke were: E. C. Hammie, Earnest Jackson, John R. Riddick, Wade H. Plummer, M. Watkins and Landon Jessup. The league will meet next Tuesday night, March 27th, at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church. All men and women living in Monroe ward are invited to affiliate with the movement. Madam Graves To Be At Titus Town. Madam C. J. Graves, the elocutionist and artist will be at Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church Monday night, March 26th. She will be assisted by the Hiawatha Quartette. ROANOKE CHURCH MAKES NEW RECORD "Women's Day" Big Feature—Magic City News Of Interest. (By W. A.

When all reports had come in by Monday night, they had rolled up $141.12. Three cheers for the women of Mount Zion A. M. E. Church. The leading ladies of every church of the city turned out to help make the day a success. The pastor and his wife have conducted themselves in such a manner since they have been in the city, that the people feel it a pleasure as well as a duty to respond to their call. The members are a unit in their efforts to make the administration of Dr. Taylor a success. The programme all day was successfully rendered, and the people gladly responded to the call of the women. At 11 o'clock a. m. the pastor preached to the women from the text, Luke 10-35 "Take Care of Him," and from Prov. 31-16 "She Considereth a field and buys it, with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard."

Sacred to the memory of our mother, Alice Howell, and our brother, James Wilbur Howell, who passed away March 21, 1905 and March 10, 1911. Spring, Spring, Gentle Spring! Crowded memories around us cling, Sad, yet dear, of loved ones gone before, Whom our hearts loved and adored, For they made home a sweet abode When with us here. The merry footsteps of little brother, The kind and faithful voice of mother Are with us still. One passed away as the sun shone bright, And the other in the silent night, Their happy spirits took their flight, With God to live. Oh, Father of lovely hearts, Consecrate our lives to Thine, To serve Thee in this mortal clime, Until we reach Thy Hallowed Shrine To part no more. Woman's Day at Emanuel. Next Sunday all the services at Emanuel will be under the auspices of the Woman's Day Organization. Women will have entire charge, conducting all the services, except the ritualistic service at the morning hour, which the pastor will conduct.

A female choir will furnish the music and lady ushers will look after the comfort of the worshippers. At night, Mrs. Amelia J. Felton will address the women at the evening service, and the program will contain many other features of interest. Perhaps the greatest interest will center around the twelve tribes rally, symbolizing the twelve tribes of Israel in their effort to cross the Red Sea.

Some of the members will dress in "Oriental Style" and will tell in story and song of their struggles to cross from Egypt to the Promised Land. Several organizations have been invited and are expected to attend in a body. The Mite Missionary Society will give a Sacred drama on Tuesday evening, the 27th.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year___$1.50 Six Months___.80 Entered as Second-Class matter at the Post Office at Norfolk, Virginia, under Act of March 3d, 1867. Saturday, March 24, 1917 REV. DR. MORRIS. In the last issue of the Journal and Guide there appeared a signed statement from the Tidewater Pastors' Conference with regard to Rev. Chas. S. Morris' present standing with them. Since the publication of the statement, we have received several letters from persons who feel moved to speak in Dr. Morris' defense. The Journal and Guide regrets to have to decline to publish any of these letters for the reason that in its opinion the question involved is one of denominational ethics, or policy, and in such matters the paper feels that it is obliged to be neutral. If the question involved was one of public morals, or a matter in which the public had more than a sectarian interest, we would feel called upon to take a different attitude. We wish it understood, however, that we are not closing our columns to Dr. Morris, the second party to the controversy, who under the rules of newspaper practice, is entitled to the same consideration accorded his critics, and our columns are at his disposal for a statement of his side of the issues raised at any time that it is his pleasure to make such a statement. Contrasts are always interesting but seldom edifying. They are much like comparisons, mostly odious, but most people do not look at the matter in that way, because they "see through a glass darkly." And, yet, in everyday life, the drawing of contrasts and the making of comparisons occupy a very large portion of the allotted time of man. The women who hang over their back gates and riddle the characters of their neighbors and the man who block up the corners and monopolyze the talking places in meetings of all sorts, "the rag chewers" and "gum shoe whisperers," are all of the sort who "contrast" and "compare" the characters and belongings of others, but never their own, and resent it when others do. It is the way of the world, and a mighty poor, bad way. Much of the troubles persons and nations have result from "striking an attitude" and "contrasting" and "comparing" themselves and their belongings with those of others. When persons or nations stick to the attitude long enough they become billious, sour and bellicose, and real troubles begin. The New York Age has the following to say, under the heading, "Japanese and Negro": "A newspaper dispatch from Tokio recently stated that the disclosure of the German plot to align Mexico and Japan with Germany provoked a bitter attack against the United States for discriminating against Japanese. The intensity of this editorial comment may be gauged by the following extract from an Osaka newspaper: "The United States of America treats the Japanese worse than Negroes. We advise the government to take the opportunity to open negotiations to correct this unfair attitude on the part of America.' "Evidently the Japanese gauge for discrimination in the United States is the Negro. When oppression exceeds that meted out to him, it must exceed inhumanity to man. "But why should a foreigner like the Japanese, with a yellow skin, expect better treatment than the Negro, a native citizen with a complexion running the gamut from white to black? Is it because the Japanese is a foreigner with an army and a navy behind him? Perhaps." The Japanese are justified in guaging the treatment meted to them by the United States by that meted to Negroes, citizens of the United States, and not of a "most favored Nation," because it has an army and navy behind it and stands upon equality with all other "most favored Nations." It is justified in expecting and demanding for its citizens all of "the privileges and immunities" granted others by mutual treaty agreements. THE FACTS OF LABOR MIGRATION The migration of Negro labor in the North and West continues to increase rather than diminishes as migration movement has many phases, which are by no means apparent to upon such questions. The attitude of The Journal's movement is the common sense one is able to check the operation of an objectly natural that men should see are promised higher wages and better, and those who encourage the facts of the so-called better inducement them before lending their income only promises no permanent good to injury to the foundation of their own. Another phase of the matter is delamination of all honest persons, the labor is at present being exploited by a group of misguided and ill-advised race question. All of the nice born oppression," and going where the elites" await them is pure buncorn labor should stand the oppression and suddenly make up its mind the violence of its resentment. The true element of the Negro race in the most is not concerned in the migration going to leave their homes and act as a solution of their problems. And fight out their problems and institutional rights accorded them here. Those who are encouraging the that unrestricted freedom of action of opportunities await these labor, the following statement from The leading colored papers of the North: "The Courier believes that the whole truth not after, BU Southern home. He should go; for whom he is to work community to which he goes, and disadvantages he may exert. "As to his new found pr who comes to Pittsburg look will find himself the most man when the black man reaches that he is still in the United States counter PREJUDICE, HATING UNLIKE THAT HE SEEKS ING ALABAMA. "Before leaving the South whole truth. Let him under asylum. Let him know that the spot of United States soildice. Let him know . . . the citizens of the North will not of any man. "Also, let him be inform of THE NORTH WILL THEIR ORGANIATIONS. LABOR UNIONS OF THE NORTH TO THEIR COMING. "There will always be a ways be a South, but be it nations fall within the common States, and the exactions of the same throughout the Union. These ringing statements should be a solemn warning to the sentimentalists who desire to satisfy their own selfish desires. Naturally enough the Journ Negro people as a whole, have made better their condition in the South the country, or in the world, or America. Those of them who have contented with their surrounding their homes and associations of all in a section where they were born whom they have had one sort of their lives. They have a stake in they are not disposed to sacrifice the impulse to migrate are mostly lettered mass of laborers upon what work. Migration of Negro laborers from the South and West continues to hold public interest, rather than diminishes as the exodus goes on. Movement has many phases besides the economy, but no means apparent to those who think in questions. Attitude of The Journal and Guide on that is the common sense one. It is difficult to seek the operation of an economic law, and general that men should seek fields of labor in higher wages and better conditions, but those who encourage the going of them should so-called better inducements and learn before lending their influence to a movement. Does no permanent good to the laborer, but with the foundation of their own economic structure, a higher phase of the matter, and one that invites of all honest persons, is the manner in which present being exploited to satisfy the self-misguided and ill-advised agitators and question. All of the nice talk about "feeling" motion," and going where "equal rights and justice" them is pure buncombe. It is strange to stand the oppression of the South for only make up its mind to move Northward as resentment. The truth of the matter is the Negro race in the South that feels the concern in the migration movement. They have their homes and accumulations of hardships of their problems. They are going to work but their problems and insist upon having rights accorded them here in the land of the country who are encouraging the migration upon restricted freedom of action, new privileges and amenities await these laborers in the North. Being statement from The Pittsburg Courier, prepared papers of the North: The Courier believes that the Negro should take truth not after, BUT BEFORE, he leave home. He should now exactly where for whom he is to work, the condition of unity to which he goes, and just what advantages he may expect to find. As to his new found privileges, we assert homes to Pittsburg looking for "new prizes and himself the most mistaken man living in the black man reaches Pittsburg he will still be still in the United States, and he will be PREJUDICE, HATRED, AND SCORN. BEKE THAT HE SEEKS TO ESCAPE BY LABAMA. Before leaving the South, let the Negro know truth. Let him understand that the North. Let him know that the sun does not not of United States soil where there is no. Let him know . . . that the laws governs of the North will not be relaxed for the man. Also, let him be informed that LABOR UNION OF THE NORTH WILL NOT TAKE HIM OR ORGANIATIONS. LET HIM KNOW FOR UNIONS OF THE NORTH ARE OR THEIR COMING. There will always be a North and there will be a South, but be it remembered that he fall within the common boundary of the North, and the exactions of the Negro are probably throughout the Union." Ringing statements from a Northern man solemn warning to those who are being mentalists who desire to get them out of their own selfish desires. Finally enough the Journal and Guide believe people as a whole, have more and better opinion in condition in the South than in any other city, or in the world, outside of continents. Those of them who have prospered and are with their surroundings have no dispositions and associations of a lifetime; they prey on where they were born and among the people they have had one sort of association and all. They have a stake in the places where they are not disposed to sacrifice it. Those who are to migrate are mostly of that great unshackled laborers upon whose credulity the The migration of Negro laborers from the South to points in the North and West continues to hold public interest, which increases rather than diminishes as the exodus goes on. The migration movement has many phases besides the economic one, and which are by no means apparent to those who think most deeply upon such questions. The attitude of The Journal and Guide on the migration movement is the common sense one. It is difficult if not impossible to check the operation of an economic law, and it is perfectly natural that men should seek fields of labor in which they are promised higher wages and better conditions, but those who go, and those who encourage the going of them should get the facts of the so-called better inducements and learn the truth about them before lending their influence to a movement that not only promises no permanent good to the laborer, but works untold injury to the foundation of their own economic structure. Another phase of the matter, and one that invites the condemnation of all honest persons, is the manner in which Negro labor is at present being exploited to satisfy the selfish whims of a group of misguided and ill-advised agitators and fanatics on the race question. All of the nice talk about "feeing from Southern oppression," and going where "equal rights and special privileges" await them is pure buncombe. It is strange that Negro labor should stand the oppression of the South for fifty years and suddenly make up its mind to move Northward as an evidence of its resentment. The truth of the matter is that the element of the Negro race in the South that feels the oppression most is not concerned in the migration movement. Nor are they going to leave their homes and accumulations of half a century as a solution of their problems. They are going to remain here and fight out their problems and insist upon having their constitutional rights accorded them here in the land of their birth. Those who are encouraging the migration upon the grounds that unrestricted freedom of action, new privileges and unheard of opportunities await these laborers in the North should read the following statement from The Pittsburg Courier, one of the leading colored papers of the North: "The Courier believes that the Negro should be told the whole truth not after, BUT BEFORE, he leaves his Southern home. He should now exactly where he is going; for whom he is to work, the conditions of the community to which he goes, and just what advantages and disadvantages he may expect to find. "As to his new found privileges, we assert that he who comes to Pittsburg looking for "new privileges" will find himself the most mistaken man living. Even when the black man reaches Pittsburg he will soon find that he is still in the United States, and he will here encounter PREJUDICE, HATRED, AND SCORN NOT UNLIKE THAT HE SEEKS TO ESCAPE BY LEAVING ALABAMA. "Before leaving the South, let the Negro know the whole truth. Let him understand that the North is no asylum. Let him know that the sun does not shine on the spot of United States soil where there is no prejudice. Let him know . . . that the laws governing the citizens of the North will not be relaxed for the benefit of any man." "Also, let him be informed that LABOR UNIONS OF THE NORTH WILL NOT TAKE HIM INTO THEIR ORGANIATIONS. LET HIM KNOW THAT LABOR UNIONS OF THE NORTH ARE OPPOSED TO THEIR COMING. "There will always be a North and there will always be a South, but be it remembered that both sections fall within the common boundary of the United States, and the exactions of the Negro are practically the same throughout the Union." These ringing statements from a Northern Negro paper should be a solemn warning to those who are being exploited by the sentimentalists who desire to get them out of the South to satisfy their own selfish desires. Naturally enough the Journal and Guide believes that the Negro people as a whole, have more and better opportunities to better their condition in the South than in any other section of the country, or in the world, outside of continental and latin America. Those of them who have prospered and are reasonably contented with their surroundings have no disposition to leave their homes and associations of a lifetime; they prefer to remain in a section where they were born and among the people among whom they have had one sort of association and another all of their lives.

THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE HEALTH TALKS PREVENTIVE AND REMEDIAL MEASURES for the CONSERVATION of HEALTH. There is an erroneous conception of measles obtained among the uninformed based upon grandma's authority, and "what they used to do." A belief that this infectious disease is a necessary evil of childhood, and there is no reason to protect children from it. If the general populace knew that measles stands third in the list of eruptive diseases when considering mortality, their opinion about the necessity of children having it and be through with it would change. In so many places the idea prevails that it is no more than a pin scratch and there is no need of special management and care by the physician. The fact is established that from 2 to 3 per cent. of those attacked die in the hands of, and under the care of the professional men. It is reasonable to suppose that without professional service a much larger per cent. in mortality takes place. It is also a fact that when measles develop in some homes, the parents will take every other child in the household and put him in the bed and in the room of the child affected, with the motherly advice to stay there and "catch it," so that they will have it while they are very young. Although the young members of the home stand a chance for measles, yet it is not fair to the young life to be subjected to an exposure that could have been prevented. There is no pleasant spectacle to see a youngster suffer from this ailment on the false grounds that it is better for him to have it now rather than later in life. The whole interest in a child, when measles is prevalent or at any time when a case happens, should be to give that child every protection so that he may not contract the disease. Measles is not a happy companion for any youngster, and the longer you can defer or postpone its visitation by watchful care and protection, the better you conserve the interests and health of the child. According to recent information representing statistics compiled for year 1914, there were 116 deaths from measles in five cities and thirty-seven counties in the State of Virginia. This, in round figures, is just about one- The determination of the Railroad Brotherhoods to go on general strike, and thus tie up the freight and passenger service of the country, was the sensation, at home, the past week, as the Russian Revolution was abroad. The sensation was all the more impressive not only because of the imminence of war with Germany, but as well on account of the scarcity of foodstuffs that would result, with consequent scarcity and increased cost of such. Prices are high enough now; a railroad tie-up would not only make them higher but foodstuffs scarcer. President Wilson voiced the National protest against the Railroad Brotherhood strike when he said: "A general interruption of the railway traffic of the country at this time would entail a danger to the nation against which I have the right to enter my most solemn protest. It is now the duty of every patriotic man to bring matters of this sort to immediate accommodation. The safety of the country against manifest perils affecting its own peace and the peace of the whole world makes accommodation absolutely imperative and seems to me to render any other choice or action inconceivable." There is something radically wrong in our system of government when the differences of employers and wage earners cannot be settled without upsetting the orderly course of everyday affairs, and with utter disregard of the rights and needs of the general public, the patrons of the interests concerned, without whom they could not exist at all, and from whom they derive their franchises to do business. It constitutes the most dangerous and menacing problem in the life of the Nation today—the defiant attitude of capital and labor towards the laws and public opinion of the Nation. It spells bloody revolution unless there shall be a change of attitude, and revolution always threatens the life of the Nation. THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION. All world movements are of interest to the readers of The Journal and Guide, because they, like the rest of mankind, are a breathing part of all the world movements. Mankind is now so linked together by what it produces and what it consumes, by steam and electric power, by telegraph and telephone connection, by community of interests—we say, mankind is now so linked together as to constitute one grand brotherhood, so that what affects one affects the other. This condition of affairs never before, PETER H. THE TRAINMEN'S STRIKE third of the counties in the State. A little mathematical calculation will give an appreciable idea as to just what the probable total of death for the entire State might have been for that year which is regarded as being below normal. This is evidence sufficient to refute the claims of the misguided to the effect that measles is a trifle, and that it is a necessary concomitant of childhood, and an ordeal through which children must pass. Another interesting phase of this question is that the rural population suffers most and the death rate is greatest. This fact is due primarily to a deficiency in medical help, or rather to the failure of those, who are responsible for children, to seek medical aid because of the traditional opinion that it is sheer folly to take any precautions in guarding the young lives from the malady; that the child must have it, and let him take his medicine gracefully; that the sooner he has it the better for him. All of which are fallacies and merit the severest condemnation by the informed that can be made in keeping with religious scruples. Measles, of itself, is not such a great monster to be feared. For once it attacks the individual it will take its course until the end is reached despite the agencies used in combating it. The things to be anxious about are the complications associated with it. These are the dreadful conditions that accompany or follow measles, and to which is due the fatal termination. The average person can't appreciate what this means to the child or grown-up. They see red, watery eyes, nasal discharge, cough, and the face and body covered with little patches that look like flea bites. And they treat it with indifference. But behind these symptoms lurk many serious conditions that bid fair to play destruction to the individual if not properly controlled. And there is only one person who is in position to see these things and offset them, and that is the doctor. So let there be less temporizing with this disease that takes such a toll of human life yearly, and give the children the best service that can be had. Every parent is responsible for the death of his child, if such happens from measles, when he denies that child skillful attention. we believe, has occurred in the history of mankind. It is one of the things promised in the atonement of Jesus, who was crucified in the flesh and transfigured in the spirit that "the brethren" might have life more abundantly." Just one hundred years ago Europe was emerging from the convulsions of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars, in which the map of Europe was radically changed, and from which France, which had been ridden to death by Kings and lords and priests, emerged as a Republic, and has continued to be such until now. The American Republic grew out of the same upheaval of mankind. Russia, in the Napoleonic wars, was arrayed with most of Europe against France and the democratic idea, but her people were then democratic in their temperament and grew more so with the years, many of which were years of grinding and galling oppression by the government and stubborn resistance by the people, led by a group of them called Nihilists, who, operating from the underworld, in the dark, so to term it, terrorized without ceasing, the Czar, the nobility and the priesthood. These Nihilist groups, working in secret through a hundred years, have, during the past week, seized the Russian government and forced the Czar to abdicate in favor of his younger brother, Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch. They have done this thing while Russia is in the thick of the European war, and when by so doing it they may turn the tide of war in favor of the German Allies. Let us hope not so. When the smoke of revolution clears away may the Russian democrats be still in authority, and so for all time. BELL'S MILL (Rev. J. H. Alexander.) Mrs. Agnes Myers made a flying trip to Bellhaven, N.

WRAY Negro Boys' Farm Club Agent A Good Garden Is Worth Several Hundred Dollars Most farmers when they use manure on their gardens, spread it and plow it under. That is a bad way to apply manure. When you plow it under with a turn-plow, very often you bury it so deeply that the small plant roots can't reach it so your garden is late and you wonder why after applying so much manure. You should wait until the soil is dry enough. Do not plow it wet. Then break as deep as you can. After a thorough breaking, spread your manure and cut it in with a disc-harrow, while doing this you prepare a good seed-bed and have all your manure near the surface, where the little plant roots can reach it by the time the seed germinates, they will grow off rapidly and you will have vegetables 15 to 20 days earlier. If you have a small garden chop it with a hoe. Now when you get ready to plant, take a hoe and chop until the soil is as fine as ashes. A well prepared seed-bed is the key note to success. Most people do the greater part of their work after the plants are up, when it should be done before they are planted. Immediately after every rain, it does not matter if it rains two or three times a week, as soon as the ground is dry enough, take a small iron tooth rake and break the crust on your garden. Do this where your seeds are planted and where they have not been planted. This destroys the weeds and grass that have germinated just beneath the surface, it forms a dust mulch which prevents the moisture from evaporating, and keeps the garden in good and easy working condition the year round. If these instructions are observed I will assure you a first-class garden. Now to the people in the cities and towns, I would suggest that where you have a very small place or a garden in which a horse can't turn well; get you a spade and spade it. I never let a horse come into my garden, he will break up and tear down more than his work is worth, so use the spade. Get all the rich dirt and the mulch from the hen house, and all the barn-yard manure you can. Now as soon as the soil is dry enough the following seed may be planted, cold snaps will not hurt them: Rape, mustard, spring kale, turnips, carrots, radishes, onions, and cabbage. You should economize space. All the above may be planted in rows 18 inches apart save cabbage which should have 24 inches. You may also plant white potatoes and garden peas, the early varities. If this is done right away, you will soon have something for the table. I shall tell you later how you may plant another crop right where this one is without interfering with it. You may also have growing in a box or hot-bed tomatoes and lettuce. The tomatoes may be transplanted in pots or tin cans and kept in a warm place where they will be protected from the cold snaps, but must have plenty of light. The cans should have a hole in the bottom, a small chip of stone or something over it so that it will afford drainage whenever the plants are watered. When the weather is warm enough, carefully turn the cans up and the whole lump will come out which may be planted in the garden. Lettuce may be put out in a large box on the south-side of a building and covered at night with old sack to protect from the cold. If this is done you may have tomatoes and lettuce 15 or 20 days earlier. Possibly by the time you get your lettuce started, the weather may be sufficient for out-door planting. Now don't let your tomatoes stay in the box too long. They should be potted as soon as they become crowded. WHAT IS AN EYE- SIGHT SPECIALIST? An Eye-Sight Specialist is a practitioner of Optometry and is, literally, an eye-measurer, but he is also skilled in Mechanical Optics, which enables him to supervise the construction of right glasses when needed. In his examination of defective or strained eyes he first takes note of any unhealthy condition, in order that he may recommend treatment outside of his own specialty should the person, for any reason, seem to require such attention. He then satisfies himself as to the focal state (seeing quality), using the Skiascope and other modern instruments and methods. The Eye-Sight Specialist next proves his findings with the usual test lenses and vision charts and, finally, measures the strength of the muscles which rotate the eyeballs. The science of prescribing glasses is a distinct profession; the millions of persons now wearing glasses only a very small per cent have diseased eyes. Optical errors of vision cause eye-strain. If your eyes give you trouble, or if the glasses you have been wearing for several years are no longer satisfactory, consult a competent Eye-Sight Specialist like Dr. Masrow. He is the legally recognized Specialist in correcting errors of vision. If your eyes are diseased he will tell you. Dr. Masrow's office is in 405 Dickson Building. His office hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Phone 219 for appointment. Those who can not see him during the week can phone him at residence and have appointments Sunday.—Adv. . e e _ @ e The North Carolina Mutual & Provident Association a = of DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA ———_———— WITH OVER EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS INSURANCE IN FORCE HAS BEEN LICENSED TO DO BUSINESS IN VIRGINIA The Company Issues: | THE PRoor wenty Year Endowment, en Mi eee oo Whole Life and _ (| Provident Aasontiatiion = See oo : ' i Bertani Serie a oaniatis Ni PaGE cE L wo. 3978 Twenty Pay Life Policies 9 wor Bese Poets Fale a BOL. y y q nt wt, ° : | 2h Eee eee paeand WEE SEP S oes Soesiainae HDeorn.sness .

Jordan, Agsut and Corrermion C. L. Griffia, Agent for Jet mecenenuemenremmanrenuneg remem on enema Last Sunday, March the 18th, was a glorious, happy, and also a very snd day at Mars Hill Baptist Church, near Capron, Va., in Southampton County. -The occasion was the farewell ser- mon of the faithful, unretiring, much loved and devoted pastor, the Rev. P. L. Boone, who is pastor of the Pine Strect Baptist Church of this city. The Rev: Mr, Boone had been pastor of the Mars Mill Church for the last six years, preaching to that great ‘people once a month. |} Being a man of God, possessed of strong devotion and undaunted cour: age; a strong ind uncompromisin Gospel preacher, knowin nothing among men save Jesus and him cruei- fied, he easily won the hearts of that church and ingratiated himself with the entire community. During his pastorate, he found that the chureh needed to be rebuilt. Within nincty days he rebuilt, dedicated and raised $300. And this was right in the coun- try. Fining that the most sucerssful efforts to build a large brick church here in the city would require all of his time, he was compelled to resign the Mars Hill Chareh, to the regret of the entire membership. He simply had to do it. He knew it, and so did the members. So, like the disciples at Mount Olive, they gathered in a large number to hear the last word of their beloved pastor. They did not mind the snow and the stormy March winds; with aching hearts and_recep- tive minds, they were there to say fareweil to him who was so near and dear to them. Rev, Boone was accompanied from |this- city by some of the members of this Pine Street Church choir: Messrs. ,Black and Patillo; Misses Addie and Oretta Tate; Mrs, Manly, and Mrs. M. J. Troy, the organist, who led the singing. It is said that they casily sang up to their reputation as being among the best singers and organists of this city. The audiences were xo charmed that they were ready to say “The Lord is in his place and we know lit.” They were so favorably impress- ed by the music that they very liberal. {ly presented the choir with a purse of money. ‘The well prepared farewell sermor was simple, practical and itn every. fay life discourse on “Hlow T hake ried to preach the Gospel,” taker from I Cor, 2:1-5.

This little city of some 12000, has the repu- tation of being one of the cleanest cities, and this reputation shail not be abused.

Woman's Day last Sunday, which was preceded by the Queen's Rally on Friday evening, was all that could be desired. Twenty-one queens made report of their activities which amounted to, including the public offering on the Sabbath, $433.00. Mrs. A. E. Bowden reporting the largest amount, $54.00, was crowned queen of queens. Sunday at 11 a.m. the theme of the pastor's sermon will be "Full Salvation." At 7:30 p. m., "The War and the Gospel."

First Baptist Church Quite a large number witnessed the baptising last Sunday morning. Two men, Messrs. Jarvis and Jackson, were the candidates. There was one addition by letter and one conversion at the close of the sermon. The Communion service was graced with the presence of three visiting ministers, a number of members of sister Baptist churches and two white gentlemen of the city. The evening service was up to the standard and the day closed with a collection of $152.00. Both morning and evening services will be well attended this Sunday. The pastor will preach another one of the great series of sermons on Prayer. In the afternoon a special sermon will be preached to the Uniform Ranks of Knights of Pythians of the city. Tuesday night the city's last chance to hear the great lecture by Dr. Hatcher on "The Black Man in the Bible." Admission only ten cents. John M. Brown A. M. E. Church Notes Our effort for revival and souls began Sunday, March 4th, in a general class meeting conducted by Michael Epps. On Monday night, March 5th, Rev. Milton Sparks, D. D., pastor of the Baptist House of Prayer, New York City, arrived to prench for us, filling the pulpit from the 5th thru the 10th. The saints were soon ready for battle and the great meeting began. We had a great meeting honored by the Holy Ghost. The Gospel pierced the marrow and the bone. Christians were drawn closer to Jesus, sinners were convicted and happily converted, backsliders reclaimed. We were blessed with 10 converts and 4 backsliders returned to the Lord. Men and women stood up in open meeting and confessed their faults and asked the church to pray for them. The climax came on Friday night, the 16th. The church and annex were crowded until about 12:30 p. m. Then many went home while some 200 or more souls tarried in prayer for the coming of the Holy Ghost. More than 150 people remained in church in prayer, testimony and until 4:30 a. m. Saturday. About 3 p. m. The Spirit came and the whole church was baptised with the fire. During this time one sinner was converted and another soul reclaimed. Just think of it Friday night John M. Brown Church was open and filled all night. There are yet a few saints in Norfolk who have convinced the sinners that we love Jesus as well as they love the world. If they dance and drink all night, we can pray all night. The Lord be praised. Amen. Rev. Milton Sparks is a man of prayer. He preached the Gospel. Tenderly and patiently he set forth the economy of redemption and the Grace of God's love; and fervently he set forth a high standard of Christian perfection. He dealt with weighty matters, repentance, conversion, justification, regeneration, sanctification, holiness unto the Lord. He was scriptural from beginning to end. We have all been helped. We are herewith expressing our sincere gratefulness to members of all the churches who travailed with us in prayer. Everybody assisted us, Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, Holiness people from all three branches. God bless you, come again. We want to especially thank Dr. C. S. Morris and his good people for tarrying with us all night Friday. Many thanks to the several preachers who assisted in the meetings. Father Hinds was greatly honored in prayer. On two occasions, while he groomed in prayer, souls were happily converted. At 4 a. m. Saturday Rev. C. S. Morris paid his Dollar Money and plead with the members of John M. Brown to do their full duty and urged his and other brethren to help us. He complimented the catholicity of Rev. Hatcher in over-stepping denominational barriers and expressed a hope that all God's children would get together. To the friends of John M. Brown in the city of Norfolk, let us say we truly thank you for your kindness to us in all good matters. Now help us get ready for conference. Let our members come up in grand style. We closed our fourth quarter Monday night. Reporting one death; 26 conversions; 36 accessions; high spiritual THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE HOW FAMOUS ATHLETE KEEPS IN CONDITION ```markdown ``` C condition; and over $600 raised during the quarter, and remember that the winter quarter is usually the poorest quarter of the year. John M. Brown had over 40 conversions and 70 accessions during the conference year; and has raised $2,500. Rev. Hatcher will have been with us 2 years and 6 months at conference time. In this short time, he has adjusted our debts, beautifully remodeled our church; paid over $1,500 of debts; and raised over $5,000. He has made himself felt in preaching, song and lecture from Philadelphia to Dothan, Ala., contributed regularly to three newspapers and three magazines; has written and published a beautiful song, "Confession," besides being actively engaged in school and civic affairs of the city. He enjoys the love, respect and esteem of all classes in the city, and we with the city are asking for his return to us. Begging an interest in your prayers and reminding you that our doors are open to you, we are Yours for service, Tours for service. John M. Brown A. M. E. Church. A. S. Punin, Secretary. Be sure to hear the special lecture to women at 3:30 p. m., March 25th, "Behind Closed Doors." The last Quarterly Conference of St. Mark's A. M. E. Church, Douglas Park, Norfolk, was held Friday night, March 9th, Rev. Fuqua, the pastor, presided over the meeting. Reports from all departments of the church were in good condition. Every one present was filled with the power of the Holy Ghost. The Conference unanimously voted for the return of the pastor, Rev. Fuqua, beginning at the close of the next Annual Conference which meets in April. P. E. White, reporter. Shiloh Baptist Church. In these days of wars and rumors of wars, there seems to be (and perhaps justly so) much unrest among the people. There seems to be a listening with hated breath and the question, what next? Some have assayed to prophesy as to what will be the outcome of these conditions, and when we shall see the End, but with problems touching the interest of political, social, civil and physical life, arising daily, and with no corresponding solutions, there is left only one encouragement, and that is "The Poor have the Gospel preached unto them." We had splendid services last Sunday, the attendance was large with many visitors. Our pastor preached the closing of a series of sermons from the subject of Parent and Child. These sermons have been greatly enjoyed and generally helpful. The church seems to be in excellent condition and the members are living up for the work that is before them. Mr. Adolphun Lewis, executive secretary of the "Iaymen's Movement" will speak at the morning service next Sunday. Come out and hear him. We are very much interested in this movement as we believe it will help to be of greater service to God and His Church. Pray for the success of our revival which will begin Easter Sunday night. Jerusalem Baptist Church. Come and see the Millionaire Marriage at the Jerusalem Baptist Church, Monday night, March 26, 1917, for the benefit of the April Rally. Nothing like it has been presented. Magnificent decorations, gorgeous accessories, beautiful and fascinating costumes. The committee will spare no pains in making the entertainment the best of the season. All the glowing brilliancy of an actual wedding, and high life will be represented. Maids of honor, matrons of honor, flower girls, Noted Football Player of Brown University Takes Good Care Of His Health "Fritz" Pollard, whose wonderful playing on the gridiron last season brought national recognition and won a place for him on the roster of Walter Camp's All-American football team, believes in looking after his health. When the football season was over and the boys returned to study, lack of exercise and confinement, following the activities of a hard competition, naturally rented on the system, and pollarded experiences a severe attack of constipation. When the bowels do not act regularly and the poisonous waste from the stomach remains to ferment and permeate the system, unless quickly remedied serious illness is very not to follow. This condition is usually indicated by a feeling of fullness and bloat, beaching of sour stomach acids, sick headache, laxitude and general discomfort. The combination of simple laxative herbs and pepsin that can be bought in drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is the most effective remedy known to quickly relieve a constituted condition. Pollard wrote to Dr. Caldwell: "After taking part in strenuous athletics I changed to indoor life and sedentary habits because of examinations, and the consequent lack of exercise brought on a severe attack of constipation. I used your Syrup Pepsin and found relief immediately. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin has been our family stand-by for many years, especially for the children, and I am happy to let you know how much it has helped to keep me in good physical condition." Every family should keep a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Penisin in the house at all times, so that it will be on hand when needed. It costs only fifty cents a bottle and can be obtained in drug stores. To avoid institutions and cheap substitutes, be sure to get the genuine Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Penisin. See that the portrait of the Doctor and his signature appear on the yellow carton in which the bottle is picked. A trial bottle, free of charge, can be obtained by writing to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 841 Washington street, Monticello, Ill. pages, banner bearers, attendants, and priests. To see this wonderful pageant with his train of fifty courtiers, dressed in regulation style will be worth many times the price of admission. Admission 10 cents.

Baby Week. Baby Week is a National affair and will be observed throughout the country commencing Saturday, May 5th, in the Jewish Synagogues.

Bank Street Baptist Church. The Bank Street Baptist Church will have the Rev. J. H. Waller of Lincoln University, Lincoln, Pa., to preach at both services on Sunday, and there is a rare treat in store for all who avail themselves of the opportunity to hear this very able divine. He has won several debates for his class and school which puts him in the fore ranks as an orator and scholar. The Church is making great preparation for the coming of their newly elected pastor, the Rev R. J. Langston, A. B., B. D., who was unanimously elected at a regular church meeting some few months ago. Because of his pastorate over another church in Middlesex County, also being the principal of the Graded School in that section, which is named for him, because of his great efforts to bring it about; he was unable to come sooner. The church recently held its election of officers and now every department of the church and Sunday School is alive and making due preparation to receive Rev. Langston and his amiable wife and children. The parsonage is being thoroughly renovated. Plans for a rally for ($3,000.00) three thousand dollars is on. It is called the "War of the Roses," between the men and women of the church. The pastor elect will come to us Sunday, April 1st, at which time he will preach his first sermon as pastor, and the public is cordially invited to worship with us. An elaborate program is being arranged for the installation services which will take place later. Let this be a home coming time for all the members who have found time to absent themselves from the regular services. Come and greet your new pastor and join heartily in the work with him, for truely the harvest is great. The bonded and floating debts are rounding into fine shape and can be easily handled if all will do their duty. Don't forget Sunday, April 1st, our new pastor will greet us, be on hand to hear him. Work of Negro Sculptress on Exhibit. The work of Miss May H. Jackson has been placed on exhibition in the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The piece is the head of a child and ranks with the works of sculptors of wide experience. The work of Miss Jackson is the first work of a colored artists to be so recognized. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson XII.—First Quarter, For March 25, 1917. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, John xiv, 1-14—A Quarterly Review—Golden Text, John xiv, 6—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Lesson L—Jesus the life and light of men, John i, 1-14. Golden Text, John i, 4. "In Him was life, and the life was the light of men." The opening words of the lesson are away beyond us, high as heaven—what can we do? Job xi, 8.) But in verse 14 He comes near to us, becomes one of us and reveals unto us the Father, and, seeing and knowing Him, we see and know the Father (chapter xiv, 9). Lesson L1—John the Baptist and Jesus, John i, 19-34. Golden Text, John i, 29. "Behold the Lamb of God, that keteth away the sin of the world." John was to Jesus at His first coming what the real Elijah will be at His second coming in glory, for the great and dreadful day of the Lord is still future, and Mal. iv, 5, stands, according to Nietz. xiv, 11. Lesson 11.—First disciples of the Lord Jesus. John I. 1. 35-51. Golden Text. John I. 4. 43. "Jesus saith unto Him. Follow Me." John's second testimony turned men away from him to Jesus, and that was his altm, as it should be ours. Andrew and the unnamed other one, having spent the day with Jesus, quickly brought their brothers to the Messiah, whom they had found, and Philip brought Nathaniel, who confessed Christ as Son of God and King of Israel. Lesson 12.—Reverence of Jesus for His Father's house. John II. 13-22. Golden Text. Matt. xx1. "My house shall be called a house of prayer." By no means omit the marriage and the water changed to wine and the marriage of the Lamb which will precede the kingdom. They shall follow Israel's great cleansing, according to Ez. xxv1. 25. Lesson 13.—Jesus the Saviour of the world. John III. 1-12. Golden Text. John III. 16. "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son." Even the most religious and moral man cannot see or enter the kingdom unless he is born again by receiving the Son of God, who loved him and gave Himself for him. But there is life for a book for all bliten ones, and they shall share the bridegroom's joy in the morning (verse 29). Lesson VI.—Jesus and the woman-of-Samarin, John iv, 1-20. Golden Text, I Tim. k. 15. "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." A religious moral man must be born again, and a poor, immoral outcast may be born again, for He came to seek and to save the lost. The latter became a better witness than the former and brought many sons to Him. In such service He delighted and invites us to join Him, that we may rejoice together. Lesson VII.—Jesus heals a nobleman's son, John iv. 43-54. Golden Text, Matt. vii. 13. "As thou must be believed so be it done unto thee." At Cana He had shadowed forth the glory of His own marriage, and now from Cana He sent life to a whole household. After the marriage what blessing there will be to multitudes! May the childlike faith of the nobleman be ours, for he believed the word that Jesus had spoken and wear his way. Lesson VIII.—Jesus at the pool of Bethesda, John v. 1-15. Golden Text, John ix. 4. "It was Jesus who had made him whole." A truly helpless pool for really helpless people, but there is a fountain which is better than all pools, and He gives life to all who hear His word and believe on Him—that is, receive Him. There is no book like the Scriptures, and by Scripture we learn of Him, but unless we come to Him of whom they tell we cannot obtain life (J John v. 12). Lesson IX. — Jesus feeds the five thousand, John vi. 1:21. Golden Text, Matt. vi. 11. "Give us this day our daily bread." Fenets of the Lord had become mere feasts of the Jews, and the multitudes were perishing. Today the public worship of God is largely mere formulas, stones for bread, and our Lord is still saying, "Give ye them to eat." He is ready to take what we have that is real bread and increase it as needed. Lesson X. — Jesus the bread of life, John vi. 12:40. Golden Text, John vi. 35. "Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life." Living Bread from heaven, and yet people despise it, even as Israel loathed the mama in the wilderness and in their hearts turned back to the food of Egypt. See these men disputing and arguing instead of eating. And so it is still, just as in the invitation to the marriage feast they all made light of it, each preferring his own way. One of the most manifest defusions of the devil is the way in which men despise the love and grace of God. Lesson XI.—Jesus saves from sin. John vill, 12, 28-37, 56-59. Golden Text, John vill, 30, "If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." He had no stones for penitent sinners, and no one else has any right to throw any, for He is the only one without sin. He came not to condemn, but to save. He is saying to all thirsty sons, "Come unto Me and drink." He says just as plainly that all who will not come shall die in their sins and, preferring the devil to God, shall have to take the devil's portion. (By Miss Ada Urquhart.)

SOCIALIST SPEAKER ASSAULTS AMERICAN RACE PREJUDICE [Concluded from page 1.] "The Negroes radied to France's colors when she was threatened. But what if we had a war here and needed our Negro citizens? What if, when we called for them, they answered truthfully enough: 'You have oppressed us; you have killed our men and women and children; you have shown us no justice in your courts; you have trampled us down. We will not fight for you!' Would not the Negro be justified? But we know the Negro in his loyalty will fight for us despite our great injustice to him. There is no national safety for this country except in strict adherence to 'liberty, equality and fraternity.'" Dr. M. W. Gilbert Dead Dr. M. W.

You occasionally see it stated that colds do not result from cold weather. That is rank foolishness. Were it true colds would be as prevalent in midsummer as in midwinter.

It is effectual and is highly recommended by people who have used it for many years as occasion required, and know its real value. For sale by all drumsets. Continued from First Page. demonstration.
