A number of the patrons of the

Crow arrangements and mapy of
them have approacheil us about it.
One of the representatives of

and stated that the change will be
operative only two months, during
July and August.
What Ils Man?
“All the constituents of a 150
pound man are contained in 1,200
eggs,” said the chemist.
*“fhere is enough gas in a man,”
he went on, “to fill a gasometer of
3,649 cubic feet. There is enough
iron to make four nails. There is
enough fat to make serenty-live
candies and a large cake of soap.
There is enough phosphorous to
make 8,064 boxes of mutches,
“There is enough hydrogen in
him to fill baloon and carry him
up tothe clouds. The remaining
constituents of a man would yield,
if utilized, six cruets of salt, ¢
bowl of sugar, and ten gallons o|
water.”
No wonder the Psalmist said:
“Tam fearfully and wonderfully
made.”"—Exchange-

‘Death of Nicolsonboro’s First
Citizen,
| After an illness of about three
months, Mr. Chas- A. Wylly died
athis residence at Nicolsonboro,
about nine miles fromthe city on
Sunday morning last. The funeral
took place on Monday afternoon
and was largely attended despite
the rain.
Mr. Wylly was one of the pio-
neer citizens of Nicolsonboro. It
was mainly through his influence
and management that that large
settlement on the White Bluff
Road at the bend of the river was
purchased and divided into small
farm lots among the colony that
settled there from St. Catherine’s
Island. The tract was bought
from the late John Nicolson, the
plumber, who gave the settlers
every consideration. The entire
lot of land has been paid for years
ago and it is one of the prosperous
parts of Chatham county.
Mr. Wylly was well thought of
by all who knew him. Years ago
he was active in politics and was
one of the leaders of the Sixth dis-
trict. He was a member of the
Baptist church at White Bluff.
- The deceased who was 65 years
‘old left a widow, six neices, among
them Mrs. Georgia Williams. The
bereaved ‘family have the sympa-
thy. of friends.

STRUGGLE OVER PANAMA BILL
Britain Sends Note to State Department.
DOES NOT VIOLATE TREATY
Lines Are Drawn Tight For a Great Diplomatic Struggle Between This Country and Great Britain.
Washington.—The lines are drawn for a great diplomatic struggle between the United States and Great Britain over the question whether this country may discriminate in favor of American vessels in the administration of the Panama Canal. The wordy war may terminate in the submission of the question to The Hague tribunal.
A series of diplomatic and legislative conferences have developed the fact that the forces in the American government which favor allowing American ships free passage through the canal are in control. These forces take the position that there is nothing in the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, under which the canal was built, to prevent this concession. The diplomatic struggle, precipitated by the note received from Mitchell Innes, charge of the British Embassy, it is expected, will be fought along the following lines:
Great Britain will take the position that the Hay-Pauncefote treaty provision, which forbids discrimination in favor of the interests of any nation in the conduct of the canal, would operate against the provisions of the Panama bill now under consideration in the Senate. This position will be supported by a lengthy argument, now on its way from London by mail, which will be presented to the State Department and transmitted to Congress immediately upon its arrival.
The United States will hold that so long as the ships of all foreign nations are accorded the same treatment in the use of the canal, the United States may pass American ships free or rebate the tolls charged them. This position was taken by the House when it reversed the report of the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee, which would have prevented free passage to American ships and passed the present bill.
LIGHTNING HITS CAMP.
Two Soldiers Killed and Seventeen Seriously Injured.
Anniston, Ala. — Two guardsmen were killed and 17 seriously hurt when lightning struck a mess tent at the maneuver grounds here. The dead were Charles Kirby and H. Rape, who were members of Company B, Second Alabama Infantry, as are all those injured. The militia of several Southern states is in camp here. The soldiers had been in camp several days and were to sign pay slips. As rain was falling the men of Company B lined up in their mess tent. The lightning struck, and almost all those in the tent were stricken down. Of the injured N. C. Sullivan is not expected to live.
ELEVEN ENTOMBED IN MINE.
Three Men Brought Out Alive—The Others Perish.
Wheeling, W. Va. Just a few minutes before a party of inspectors was to have descended to make an inspection there was a violent explosion in the Panama Mine, of the Fort Pitt Coal Company, just below Moundsville, which entombed 11 men, 3 of whom were brought out alive. Two of these will likely die.
Eight bodies have been taken from the mine, a search of the rescuers failing to locate Leslie Wilson, whose brother declares positively he is not among those in the morgue.
The men died where they fell, crushed to death.
THE LAST REFUGE GONE.
Extradition Treaty Has Been Signed With Honduras.
Washington.—Those who flee justice in the United States will hereafter find no place on the Western Hemisphere safe from extradition. By signing an extradition treaty with Honduras the State Department closed the last avenue of escape.
Around World In 39 Days.
Los Angeles, Cal.—What is said to be a new record for encircling the globe was completed here Tuesday by J. A. Allen and E. J. Scott, of Phoenix, Ariz., who made the trip in 39 days. The two men left Los Angeles June 1 and, sailing from Seattle June 3, made the journey by way of Vladivostok and Paris.
Airship Runs Away.
Redwood City, Cal.—Joseph C. Vierra, who has been experimenting secretly near Redwood City with a gliding aeroplane, had the unusual experience of having his machine run away after he had fallen out of it. The glider rose successfully and Vierra began to send it forward rapidly against the wind, when, at a height of about 15 feet, it bucked and threw him out. Instead of smashing to the ground, it continued to rise and soared seaward until it disappeared.

CAMORRO GANG IS CONVICTED
Sensational Criminal Case Ends After Two Years.
NINE GUILTY OF MURDER
Dramatic Scene In Court When Sentence Is Pronounced Upon the Prisoners—One Makes a Serious Attempt At Suicide.
Viterbo.—The Camorrists who have been on trial for nearly two years on the charge of having murdered Gennara Cuocoolo and his wife in June, 1906, were adjudged guilty in varying degrees. The verdict declares Corrado Sortimo guilty of both murders; Nicolo Morra, Antonio Cerrato and Mariano Di Gennaro guilty' of the murder of Cuocoolo, and Gluseppi Salvi guilty of the murder of Cuocoolo's wife. Enrico Alfano, the alleged leader of the Camorrists; Glovanni Rapi, Di Marinas and the others are convicted of being instigators of the crime and members of a criminal organization.
The president of the court immediately sentenced the condemned men. Sortino, Merrato, Salvi, Morra, Di Gennaro, Alfano, Rapi and Di Marinas were sentenced to 30 years' imprisonment and to 10 years' police surveillance each; Di Mattio to 10 years and six months imprisonment and 10 years' surveillance; Ascritore to 10 years' imprisonment and three years' surveillance; Vitozzi, the priest, seven years' imprisonment and two years' surveillance; the others to five years' imprisonment and three years' surveillance.
When the accused men were placed in the iron cage to hear the verdict, Di Marinas suddenly drew forth a piece of glass and cut his throat. He fell to the floor in a pool of blood and general pandemonium broke lose. The other prisoners screamed like wild animals, shouting invectives and imprecations.
Rapi shouted: "This innocent blood is crying for revenge!"
Alfano raged around and recalled his brother's death, who, he cried, was "a victim of injustice and a man who had suffered the martyrdom of innocence."
Vitozzi knelt, weeping and praying. All the prisoners acted like maniacs and the carbineers had difficulty in forcing their way into the cage to maintain order and carry out the wounded Di Marinas.
The pronouncement of sentence was received with uproarious protests from the condemned men. One of them shouted: "We are innocent. This is legal assassination." Some of them shook their fists at the judge and others tore at the bars of the cage. They attempted in concert to harangue those assembled in the court.
In addition to the police and carbineers within the building a battalion of troops with fixed bayonets was drawn up outside. It was feared that some attempt might be made to rescue the prisoners.
Di Marinas is in a serious condition. The glass with which he attempted suicide severed an artery, which was tled, but Di Marinas, the moment he was left alone, tore off the bandages and reopened the wound. Surgeons again dressed his injuries, but the wounded map declared that he was determined to die. The verdict as a whole proved somewhat of a surprise, and all are agreed that the severity of the sentences is the last blow to the Camorra.
Firefiles Cause Panic.
Aetna, Ind.—Thousands of lightning bugs caused terror among workmen employed in the powder mills here following a thunderstorm. The little insects, driven from the Kankakee marshes by the storm, settled down upon a tank containing several hundred gallons of nitro-glycerine. The employees saw the brilliantly illuminated bugs near the tank and immediately scattered, running terror stricken in all directions in the fear that the tank would explode.
HEAVY DEATH ROLL IN COAL PITS
Terrific Explosions in an English-Colliery.
BODIES OF 69 RECOVERED
Some Of the Victims Were Men Who Went Into the Mine To Rescue Those Entombed.
Conisbrough, Eng.—The bodies of 69 victims of a series of explosions in the Cadeby colliery Tuesday morning have been brought to the surface. It is feared that a further search of the mine will increase the death roll to 80. Of the killed, 20 were mine workers; the others were men who went into the pits to rescue those entombed. Among these were three government inspectors, including William Henry Pickering, chief inspector of mines, in Yorkshire and North Midland district, who was to have explained 'to King George and Queen Mary the workings of another Yorkshire colliery.
The King Monday visited a colliery adjacent to that in which the explosions occurred Tuesday. The presence of their majesties in the district greatly minimized the fatalities, because the miners were celebrating and had taken a holiday. Thirty of the men who were working in that part of the mine where the accident happened were killed outright and one; the manager of the pit, was brought up alive, but died later.
The first explosion, which killed the miners, occurred early in the morning. It was followed by an explosion about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, which resulted in the collapse of the roof, overwhelming the entire rescuing brigade.
The King and Queen visited the scene and personally expressed their sympathy.
WOULD PUT LID ON HARD.
Representative Howard Introduces a Drastic Sunday Bill.
Washington.—"Washington is setting a bad example for the country," said Representative William Schley Howard, of Georgia, when he introduced a bill for bidding work on the Sabbath in the District of Columbia. Mr. Howard would close down every industry save those of necessity and charity on Sunday. His bill would exempt newspapers, drug stores, street car lines and public utilities. He said the government was one of the chief violators of the day of rest.
TRUSTED EMPLOYE STEALS.
The Prisoner Admits Peculations
Amounting To $23,000.
New York.—William M. Lawrence, 40 years old, a church member and trusted employee of the rice and grain importing concern of Daniel Talmadge's Sons, admitted in the Tombs Court to Magistrate Corrigan that he had taken at least $23,000 from the concern during the past six years. This money, he said, had been spent in being a good fellow and spender in the Tenderloin. He was held in $5,000 ball for action by the grand jury. The firm alleges that the theft will amount to $40,000.
Venerable Southern Jurist Dies.
Montgomery, Ala.—Jonathan Haralson, for 16 years associate justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, died here. Judge Haralson retired to private life several years ago.
San Francisco Wants Liberty Bell. Philadelphia.—Opposition was heard in city hall to granting the request that the Liberty Bell be placed on exhibition at the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco in 1915. One of those opposed to it is the chief, of the bureau of city property, which has charge of the bell. The question of taking the bell out of the city rests entirely with the City Council. A request to take the historic bell to the Lewis and Clark Exposition at Seattle a few years ago was refused:
E. T. FAIRCHILD CHOSEN AS HEAD

CHICAGO TEACHERS RAPPED
National Education Association Goes On' Record For Woman Suffrage and Other Movements.
Chicago.—Aside from electing as president E. T. Fairchild, of Topeka, Kan., after a heated contest, in which teachers were severely criticised by New York members for "behind-the-curtain tactics," the National Education Association, representing more than 15,000 educators, went on record as favoring—
Woman's suffrage, "because women teachers realize the responsibility of training youth for citizenship."
Promotion of international peace.
reference to the high cost of living.
A uniform Federal law for marriage and divorce.
The promotion of plans for a national university.
The extension by Congress of plans for training in agriculture, domestic economy and other industrial work in various institutions.
Great attention in the public schools to the health of pupils.
The extension by Congress of the work of the national bureau of education, so as to embody a group of competent men and women to study thoroughly the problem of rural education, city school administration, vocational education, sanitation and hygiene and higher education, including the training to teachers.
More attention by teachers to the individual necessities of pupils for a training that will fit them for a definite occupation in life. That the school playgrounds provide at least one square rod for each pupil. That a greater spirit of altruism be inspired in school work. The association condemned compulsory military training in schools not especially designated as military schools.
A "PURE FABRIC BILL."
Movement To Have All Cloth and Clothing Rightly Labeled.
Washington.—A "pure fabric bill," the first measure of the kind ever proposed in Congress, has been introduced by Representative Murdock, of Kansas. The bill would require labeling of all cloth and clothing intended for sale in interstate commerce, so that purchasers might know whether they were buying wool or "shoddy," silk or cotton. Provision for guarding against misbranding would be made.
JURY TRIAL FOR CONTEMPT.
The Clayton Bill Passes the House By
Vote Of 232 To 18.
Washington.—The House passed the Clayton Contempt Bill, 232 to 18. The measure provides for trial by jury for those accused of indirect contempt of a Federal court. If passed by the Senate and enacted into law it would have a direct bearing on such cases of contempt of court as those in which Samuel Gompers, Frank Morrison and John Mitchell, of the American Federation, are now involved.
MACVEAGH STIRS DAUGHTERS.
They Will Protest Against Omitting Goddess From Nickel.
Washington.—Secretary MacVeagh, of the Treasury, has stirred up a small-sized hornet's nest among members of the Daughters of the American Revolution and other patriotic organizations by his announcement that in the near future a buffalo head design is to take the place of the Goddess of Liberty on the 5-cent piece. No formal protest has yet been made, but Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood says she thinks the Daughters will enter a formal protest against the change.
HEAT KILLS 5 BABIES, I WOMAN.
Torrid Wave's Infant Death Roll In Cleveland 40.

FEAST ON FOURTH POISONS 40.
Three Persons Dead and 37 Who Attended Family Reunion III.
Augusta, Ga.-Three persons are dead and 37 ill as a result of eating poisoned food at the home of Mac Canady, near Garfield, Ga., on the Fourth of July, according to information reaching here. Mystery surrounds the wholesale poisoning of the Canady family, who had gathered for a reunion.
TO BE HELD IN CHICAGO—DELEGATES FROM NEARLY EVERY STATE IN THE UNION TO BE PRESENT — LOCAL CHICAGO COMMITTEES AT WORK.
The thirteenth annual meeting of the National Negro Business league will be held in Chicago, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 21, 22 and 23, 1912. The Local Negro Business league of Chicago has secured the Seventh Regiment army for the sessions.
Delegates intending to be present should, as early as practicable, notify W. D. Neighbors, secretary Chicago Negro Business league, 3517 State street, Chicago, of such intention, so that proper accommodations may be reserved.
Last year, nearly every state in the Union was represented at the annual meeting held in Little Rock. Officers of the organization are now earnestly at work to secure at Chicago an even larger gathering. The Little Rock meeting set a high standard in point of attendance, attractiveness of program and hospitality of its citizens, but the Chicago league is striving to have the coming meeting surpass all previous ones. The Chicago Chamber of Commerce joined with the Local Negro Business league in inviting the national organization to meet in Chicago, and is co-operating to welcome and entertain those who may attend.
Very low reduced rates will be offered from all parts of the country, and especially from the south, for the meeting. Local leagues are urged to elect delegates at once. Experience has shown that the railroad authorities in every section of the country are willing to arrange special Pullman tourist car parties. It is earnestly desired that plans for such parties be arranged for as early as possible.
Some of the' strongest men and women of the negro race will be present and speak at the meeting. These gatherings annually bring together a group of hopeful, energetic, aspiring and successful men and women who are doing their part of the world's work. Sessions of the following affiliated organizations will be held at the same time: The National Negro Bankers' association, National Negro Funeral Directors' association, and national Negro Press association, and the National Bar association—a group of the strongest organizations in the country among the negro people.
A GLOBE TROTTING DOG
CANINE PET OF RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR'S WIFE HAS A RECORD.
Mme. Bakhmetieff, wife of the Russian ambassador, has a pet dog, Remmy by name, and Remmy is a claimant for the globe trotting record. He bears dogs that live on tramp steamships.
Remmey is a French bulldog, five years old. He was born in Paris, where Mme. Bakhmetieff bought him. Shortly afterward her husband was made ambassador to Japan and Remmey was taken there, the St. Paul Pioneer Press. From Japan he continued on right around the earth and back to Paris, making one complete circuit. Diplomatic entries called M. Bakhmetieff to the far east once more and Mme. Bakhmetieff accompanied her husband on another complete tour of the world, taking Remmey with her. When they got back to Paris he had been around the world twice. Since then the dog has paid visits to many foreign countries. At present he is making himself quite at home in Washington. Whenever he goes walking with Mme. Bakhmetieff he wears a brilliant red collar that attracts attention. Mme. Bakhmetieff is a sister of Mrs. John R. McLean and one of the most prominent leaders in Washington society.
WHY MILK SOURS.
Perhaps you have often wondered why it is that if you let milk stand for a short time, especially in warm weather, it will turn sour and become unfit to use in your tea or coffee, but if it is boiled and then sealed up in some sort of air-tight can or jar it will keep for any length of time in any weather.
Many persons believe that a thunderstorm will turn milk sour, and if you ask them what the thunder, which is nothing but noise, can do to the milk, you will find that they have no idea, but they just know it is so. So, there!
The reason that milk turns sour is that it contains a small microbe that makes an acid from the sugar in the milk. When the milk is boiled these microbes are killed and the acid is never developed. Warm air, and even electricity in the air, is very favorable to the rapid growth of these microbes, which are really a sort of plant, and all plants flourish in warmth.
The acid which-is made by these microbes in the milk is called lactic acid, and if the milk is good and clean it is none the worse for turning sour, although it is not just the thing to put in tea. For some persons sour milk is a much more wholesome drink than sweet milk, and is recommended by some doctors for the cure of certain diseases. There is a famous Chinese statesman who believes he will live to be 150 years old because he drinks so much sour milk every day.
WIT AND HUMOR
Choosing His Passengers.
P. V. Daniel, "Virginia Gentleman," was one of the general officers of the old Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac Railroad.
Even in those days before the Civil War, the road was prosperous, and at a meeting of the board of directors some progressive introduced a resolution to reduce the rate for passengers from 17 cents to 11 cents a mile.
Instantly Daniel, who was chairman, declared the motion "out of order." "Why!" protested its patron. "Why!" thundered Daniel. "If you do that, you will have every rag-tag and bobtail in the State of Virginia riding on our road. That's 'why'!" The resolution was unanimously tabled.—Everybody's Magazine.

Cat Ate the Evidence.
"Bring in the evidence," ordered Judge Black, when the case of Robert Righter and Edward Hubbard, aged 14 and 11 years respectively, accused of robbing a hencoop, was called.
"Ain't none," admitted a court attache.
"Where is it?" queried the court.
"Black Tom ate it."
Black Tom ate it.
"Then bring in the cat."
"But we can't find him. He's under the house sleeping it off."
"This case stands continued until the cat can be produced in court. One of you men sit 'dog watch' on that cat and bring him in dead or alive." The evidence consisted of a dozen or more fluffy chicks, which the cat had eaten over night—Columbus (Ohio) Correspondence New York World.

WASHING DELICATE FABRICS.
The processes of dyeing have so improved that almost all wash goods are now considered to have fast colors. This is particularly true of the better grades of fabrics, in which the dye seems to attach itself more firmly to the fibers of the cloth, but even though a color may be said to be fast this is only a relative term, and colored goods require more careful treatment than white goods. Avoid the conditions which most affect the stability of colors in fabrics, such as long-continued action of water and soap, strong alkalis or acid, and strong sunlight which is a powerful bleaching agent and is constantly used for this purpose.
When washing colored clothing these things should be kept in mind. Colored clothing cannot be soaked for any length of time unless the color is known to be very stable. Any soap used in the washing process should be a mild soap used in solution, or if the color is very delicate it should be replaced by soap bark, rice water, potato water or cooked starch water. The washing process should be conducted quickly, and the water should not be very hot.
After washing, colored garments should be turned inside out and hung in a very shady or dark place, and should be taken in as soon as dry. Fading is more often due to careless drying than to any fault in washing. Washing powders or strong alkalis should never be used. If the water needs softening, use borax. If starch, bran, rice water, etc., are used instead of soap, use the mixture as if it were soapsuds.
Sometimes a fabric shows a decided tendency to fade even under the best conditions. It is always well if there is any doubt on this subject to test a small piece of cloth before washing it. If it fades, then an attempt should be made to set the color. With certain colors a dyer uses a mordant, a substance which forms insoluble compounds with some dyestuffs, which under certain conditions, unite with the textile material or cloth. The same principle as mordanting or making a color fast may sometimes be used by the housekeeper in strengthening weak colors with satisfactory results. The household mordants are brine, vinegar, sugar of lead and alum, used in the following proportions: To one gallon of water one-half cup of mild vinegar, or two cups of salt, or one tablespoonful of alum, or one tablespoonful of sugar of lead (poison)).
Vinegar is best for pinks. Small pieces of cloth should be tested in each of the above solutions, and a choice made after experimenting. The cloth should be left in the solution over night, and may be left in for several days with good results. It should be thoroughly dried before being washed. Even with relatively strong colors soaking a fabric over night in a brine solution before washing it for the first time may render it far less susceptible to fading influences. The effect of brine is said not to be lasting. Colored goods are often rinsed in a salt solution just before drying them.
Silk should be washed in much the same way as wool. While it is not so strongly affected by soaps and alkalies, its gloss is destroyed by the use of strong reagents. The delicacy of the fiber makes hard rubbing impossible, for it breaks the fibers and destroys not only the durability, but also the silkiness of the fiber. In wringing silk, place between dry towels or heavy cloths, and put through a loosely adjusted wringer. Iron on the wrong side while still damp with a moderate iron. Silk is very easily scorched, and if the iron is too hot, the silk will be stiff. Iron back and forth with a wriggling motion to give softness and pliability. It is often best to iron silk under a cloth. This gives less body and a softer finish. Ribbons, of good quality, may be very successfully washed. To iron, cover with a dry cloth and move the iron frequently back and forth over the surface of the cloth and above the ribbon.
It is often better to dry-clean fine laces, as they thicken slightly in washing. To wash them, use a warm soap solution to which has been added ammonia or borax. Squeeze out the dirt by pressing the lace in the hands, but do not rub it, as rubbing breaks the delicate threads. A good way to wash fine lace is to first baste it to strips of cheesecloth, being careful to catch all the points down. Put to soak over night in warm soapy water containing a little borax or ammonia. Wash by squeezing and rinse free of soap. Old yellow lace may be bleached by stretching it while wet about a bottle and standing it in the sun, rewetting occasionally. Javelle water, may be used to bleach lace. Lace may be stiffened by rinsing in a mixture of two tablespoonfuls of alcohol to one cup of water; by rinsing in borax water, two tablespoonfuls to the cup, or by using gum arabic, one-eighth teaspoon to a cup of water. If a yellow color is desired, dip in coffee or tea.
Black lace should be cleaned by squeezing out in a mixture of one cup of strong coffee and one tablespoon of ammonia. Rinse in gum arabic water made with coffee to give natural stiffness.
of lace as is practical. Clear starch them, and stretch and pin out on sheets, one curtain over another. Curtain stretchers are better if available, but good results may be obtained by pinning. If care is taken to make the first curtain straight and even. This is best done by measuring sides and corners with a tape measure.
OUR SPRING LINE.
The feminine "line" is one of the secrets of the spring. Are we to be fat or thin this year, or just medium? When I say "we" I mean the gentler sex; for alas! man has to remain as he is, unless he is a jockey or an athlete, both of whom have their painful processes of getting down to weight. But the female form divine is capable of extraordinary change, especially in the spring. A decree goes forth from the Rue de la Paix, and instantly the plump and matronly become "mince" and the thin more slender still. In its haste the feminine world thought there was going to be a relaxation of the line this year. A while ago the Iribe dresses, in "La Rue de la Paix," seemed to point to rational reform. Not a bit of it. You have to be thin still, fair readers, if you would be fashionable.
Some ungallant person said the present fashions made women look like an umbrella—an umbrella, presumably, that you cannot lose, though you may give away. An umbrella you have still to be, but the stick is no longer steel; the type—pardon me—approaching the gingham. There is to be a certain fullness of the skirt at the knees, but the base remains restricted so as to retain the look of youth and elegance. Gradually we shall evolve, no doubt, towards the bell shape. For the moment "nos elegantes" remain "belles" without being bells.
CHICKEN AND VEAL PIE.
Buy chicken giblets, the necks, gizzards, hearts and livers. By adding to these half a pound of veal cutlet there is enough for an excellent chicken pie. Put the giblets into a saucepan with a pint of cold water, a slice of onion, a small carrot and a level teaspoonful of salt. Simmer until there is only half a cup of liquid. Strain this and set aside. Cut the veal into small cubes and cook slowly until well done and a light brown. Put into a baking dish with the giblets cut up and scatter a little salt fat pork, cut in shreds, through the meat. Thicken the chicken liquor slightly with flour moistened with water, to a paste. Cover with good rich pie paste, puff paste if you have it, and bake in a steady oven for an hour and a half.
KITCHENETTES.
If, you wish to beat an egg very light beat the white first to a froth, then add the yolk and beat.
In thickening gravies or sauce try an egg beater to get out the lumps of thickening. The sauce or gravy will be as smooth as can be and will not need to be strained. Another way: If you are making milk toast or anything similar put the thickening into the cold milk and stir constantly till done. It will be so smooth and free from lumps that you will feel well paid for a few moments' extra time. It does not take much longer.
To keep the zinc tray of a gas stove bright and clean, rub with benzine, then wash with soap and pulverized pumice. It will look like new. If spots are stubborn, use a little kerosene.
CARING FOR YOUR PETS.
Many pet cats who live where they cannot get fresh grass to eat become sick and die because their little owners forget to supply plenty of fresh green vegetables in place of the natural herbs. Fresh green of some kind is necessary to keep the system and blood in order with cats and dogs as with humans. Green corn scraped with a fork, asparagus remnants, spinach and all such things are excellent for pussy as are also the carrots, turnips and leeks which are frequently cooked in the soup pot.
If pussy does not take to them readily mix them with a little chopped raw beef or with well cooked fish or canned salmon. In this guise they will slip down readily, but many cats eat them with gusto quite plain.
BRIGHT EYES.
Nature has made the eyes as bright as she intended them to be and if we try to increase their brilliancy by an artificial method we may impair the sight. Let them have all the rest they require. Do not strain them by reading when lying down or when sitting in a poor light. Bathe them frequently in cold water and once in a while give them an extra bath with a teaspoonful of boracic acid dissolved in a teacupful of distilled water. An eye cup which you may purchase at a drug store for ten or fifteen cents is the best method of bathing the eyes. Cold water strengthens and brightens the eyes wonderfully and children should be taught the habit of bathing them once or twice daily.

Without doubt, ose of the most
serivus and perplexing situations
that confronts apy race in “its on-
ward march of progress is the de-
Vising of ways and means by which
those of its members who remain
without the call of its clrurchés,
schools and other institutions for
good, canbe reached. None the
less is this ue of the Negro race
shan of any other. ‘Turn our eyes
if we will in any direction and
and then we behold numbers of
Negro boys and girls, men and
women of promise and susceptibil-
ity, who might be moulded into
strong and useful citizens if the
proper influence were brought to
tear upon them. These individ-
uals remain away from our schools,
our churches and the other civiliz-
ing influences umong ‘us. They
fal to become educated not only
through these greit agencies but
by contact as well. Thus they be-
come ignorant, sometimes vicious
and criminally inclined, ard too of-
ten careless and indifferent as to
the impression they make on oth-
ers by their conduct ‘Ihey have
little or no regard for the welfare
of the race and its iafluence. ‘The
proper respect for members of the
race is wanting in them. Hence
we nre quite often abashed and em-
barrassed by their conduct. How-
ever, is it not true that repreben-
sible as their conduct at times may
be, that they are members of both
the great human family and of the
greut.race of which we are mem-
bers? Is it not true that if the
enlightening influence of the
present day were brought
to bear upon them, that they
viz, contact cen and must be ap-
plied to the hoisting of these indi-
viduals. They must be touched in
order to be lifted. It is indeed a
sad fact that too many of our lead-
ers have preached from the hill-
tops, us it were. the echoes from
their words reverberating over the
lhousetops and fuiling to reach and
influerice those who neel to be
taught most. If we as a people
ever expect to reach the standard
of this great American civilization
in economic development and liter-
ary attainment, then we’ must seek
to elevate those’ of us who occupy
the lowest stratuny of our civiliza-
tion; we must reach down and lift
up the fallen and struggling mem-
bers of the race. Our words for
the present at least should reach no
farther than our arm’s length in
order that there may be exercised
on our part both preaching and
practice, Let us remember that the
progress of the race wiii be judged
not only by the attainment of a few,
but by the condition of the mass
of our people as well- It is the
bounden duty therefore of each in-
dividual of culture and refinement
to assist in eyery way in the ameli-
oration of the condition and sur-
rounding of those of us whose
progress and success in life have
not been as marked as possible.
If these will not come to the fight
which we carry, then let us carry
the light to them. In so doing we
shall be able soon to tell to the
world a more wonderful story than
ever before of the decrease in illis-
eracy among us. Our progress in
the accumulation of the goods
of this world and our nearer ap-
proach to the civilization of this
great country of ours,

"Wise men are instructed by Reason, men of less understanding by Exeprience, all others by Necessity.
"The judgment and sincerity exercised by individuals in their efforts for protection, uplift and development of themselves not those dependent upon them, are the unmistakable marks of the difference in men.

CURING HAY PROPERLY. , appear above the rround, and then |
Hay of any kind to cure for the
most palatable and nutritlous feed
should be cut rather green than over
ripe. Some have a notion that tt is
Detter to*let hay stand and grow till
it is fully mature and ripe. It Is a
fact that hay allowed to fully ma-
ture will be slightly more bulky and
Perhaps dry out and cure easier, yet
3t will not have the high feeding value
‘as when cut earller and cured proper-
ty. Many fail to realize the difference
between hay and other forage to be
stored for future feeding that has a
green color and pleasant aroma, and
that which has no green color and no
aroma. Very ripe and dry hay is not
palatable to animals, and it is not
easily digested. It contains a rela-
tively large amount of indigestible
fiber. Green hay, of course, is more
difficult to cure than ripe hay, yet the
extra work {s well worth while,
‘The amount of time any hay should
Me In the field before being raked
and hauled in for storage will depend
upon the amount to the acre, the
length of the days of sunshine, the
absence of the clouds, the dryness of
the alr and the dryness of the soil
upon which it les after being cut.
If the eoll and air are both dry and
hot, a heavy crop of, hay will cure in
a very short time with a moderate
amount of sun. If both air and soll
are molst, the same crop will require
a much longer time for curing, even
vunder a hot sun.
Where the air and soil are reason-
ably dry, bay of any kind should be
allowed to Ilo in the sun only a few
hours before being raked into wind-
rows. In most cases two or three
hours are sufficent. A ght crop
should be raked up an hour or two af-
ter cutting. It Is a mistake to allow
hay to le In the sun so long that it
becomes perfectly dry and bleached.
Sunshine aids in the development of
Breen matter In plants when they are
alive, yet It quickly destroys this
green when the plants are deaul.
It should be the aim in curing hay
to retain as much of the green and
tenderness as possible. Curing hay
right does not imply drying it out
completely, but allowing only enough
of the surplus moisture to escape
from the plants so they will not heat,
mold or rot in bulk in storage. The
more moisture that can be safely re-
tained, the more aromatic, appetizing.
and digestible the hay will become as,
a feed. Some good farmers who are
experts In the making of cholce hay
follow the mower closely with the
rake, and the rake closely with wag-
ons for hauling and storage. Their
hay 4s put into the mow green, so
green and full of moisture that it
heats and “sweats” excessively, yet
without further disturbance it ‘cures
.out perfectly and comes out of the
mow some weeks or months’ later
with a beautiful bright color, aromatic
and very nutritious for the animals
which consume it. This manner of
curing hay Is a fermentation process
rather than a sun drying, and it is to
be highly recommended to those who
can work it with success.
‘A good and safe way to cure hay|
0 that ft will retain its green color
and possess go0d aroma and tender-
ness Is to allow it to dry in the sun
for about two hours, then rake into
large, light windrows and allow it to
cure there for four or five hours.
After curing in windrows it is then
piled into small stacks, or cocks, in
the fleld, and in tliis form allowed to
stand for a day or more. Timothy
and other similar long hay can be
huullt into cocks that will readily shed
water, while alfalfa, and the other
legumes in bunches in the field will
need to be covered with hay caps
made of canvas. ‘The first cost of hay
caps for a large acreage of hay $s
relatively large at first, yet they will
soon more than pay for themselves
through the curing out of better hay,
as well as the saving of large amounts
of this now one of our most valuable
crops.
Clover should always be raked into
windrows for curing shortly after be
ing cut so that the leaves, the best
part of the hay, will ‘not become dry
and shatter off. The same fs true of
cowpeas and alfalfa.
CULTIVATING POTATOES.
Potatoes like a rather fertile, cool,
moist, but well-drained soil. It fs 2
waste of ground and seed to try to
grow a crop of petatoes in any soil
that Is hot, dry‘and full of weeds. The
vines must have a full share of sun
and alr, and the roots and forming
tubers must have a moist and rela-
tively cool sofl in which to grow.
Perhaps no other crop will respend
to good cultivation and pay so well
as potatoes. Every time the culti-
vator is worked along the rows It
means better vine growth and better
gofl conditions for the growth of the
tubers. The first cultivaticn of pota-
toes should consist In working the sur-
face soil with a spike-toothed harrow.
This will mellow and make the soil
fine and friable better than any oth-
er tool Some may think that har-
rowing. potatoes wii! break the young
sprouts off and Kill the plants: how-
ever, such 1s not the case. Some of
the best potato, growers harrow their
‘potatoes as soon as the first shoots
appear above the ground, and then im-
ealeiey cross-harrow the patch.
Some shoots may be torn off by the
harrow teeth, yet latent buds on the
tubers planted will quickly send up
more new shoots to take the place’
of the ones destroyed. Where pota-
toes have been planted in ridged rows,
harrowing down the tops of the ridges
is the best form of early cultivation
that can be given. The ridges ‘should
first be harrowed “down well, and by
subsequent cultivation again worked
up to the vines. 7
Potatoes to do well should be made
to grow rapidly. This is accomplished
by frequent and thorough cultivation
from the time'the first plants show till
blossoms appear, when the patch
should be clean and cultivation stop-
Ped. The first cultivations should be
as deepas the shovels of the cultivator
can be run between the rows. This is
necessary to deezen and mellow the
soll before the feeding roots have
grown long. ‘Later cultivations may
be more shallow. In order tq grow
a large and profitable crop of pota-
toes, they must be cultivated about
every week during the early growing
period. Some cultivate twice each
week. Gradually work the soil to the
vines, keeping the ridges fine, moist
and absolutely free from weeds.
GENERAL FARM NOTES-
| _ It fs not a good pian to pasture the
orchard with large animals. Hogs
may entirely ruin a young orchard
within a few days. Poultry and right
young calves are about the only ant-
mals that can safely be pasture
among fruit trees.
It is not a question of how. many
times a certain neighbor cultivates
corn or other crops, but how much
time you have for the work. Cultivate
the crops five, eight or ten times.
‘Every cultivation counts and pays
handsomely for the labor.
Provide good farm gates for the
fields and all places where gates, are
to be used. A farmer may be alhost
known as a business man by the kind
of gates he Keeps on his farm. A
shabby gate Indicates careless meth-
ods.
By all means keep tools sharp. Files
and a good tool grinder are neces-
sary. Have these tool sharpeners In
your farm tool shop. Learn to sharp-
en your own tools perfectly to save
valuable time running to the town
shop.
The farmer who must keep a hired
™man all the time will do well to build
a tenant house on the farm and hire
&@ young married man, giving house
rent free with wages. In this way,
help will be reasonably .sure at all
times.
A geod way to dispose of field
stones, if you have many on the place,
is to use them as concrete filler or for
private road making.
Matched Jumber painted makes a
cheap and serviceable roof for V-
sbaped hog houses ft such houses
are kept in the shade of trees during
the summer, the boards will not
warp. A heavy coat of white paint
will also prevent warping, as well as
making the roof last longer.
Every farmer can, and should be,
his own painter. Al wooden buildings
should be painted and kept in good
paint repair. The paint seals the
pores, fills the cracks, makes the walls
firmer, is proof against moisture and
wind, and it improves the appearance

AN ELECTRIC FENCE.
‘The head-hunte:s of the Island ot
Formosa preserved their ‘integrity as
tribesmen, and were invincible at the
hands of the Chinese when China own-
ed the island. That long-suffering dad
philosophic people, after centuries of
Ineffectual effort at subjugation or ex-
termination, gave up the task, con-
cluding that “what could net be cured
must be endured.” Not so the Japan-
ese. When the island was ceded to
Japan at the close of the late war
between the countries, the new mas-
ters renewed the effort at subjugation
with different methods and better suc-
cess.
Dr. Inazu Niobe; a leading edues‘or
of Japan, told about the strugsie while
lecturing before the National Geor-
graphical soctety at Washington. For
a considerable time Japan had no‘het-
ter success In establishing her author-
ity over the island than China bad
known, the head-hunters resisting
more desperately than ever. At last
the Japs invoked the ald of electricity.
‘They constructed a three-wire fénce,
300 miles long, and so disposed as to
completely encircle the hostile tribe.
‘The central wire carried a heavy volt-
age of electricity. After many of thelr
men had been killed by it, the head-
hunters capitulated.
THE MOVEMERT TO UNITE BY
THE RATIVE OF SOUTH AFRICA
(From the Lagos, South Africa,
The movement on the part of the
native of South Africa, to unite in
their own welfare and for safeguard-
ing thelr interests and rights in the
face of the problems and perplexities
confronting them under the aegis cf
the .aetivities of present day clviliza-
tion, {s rendered as indispensable as
it is fnevitable. And inevitable be-
cause of the plain and undisgulsed
character of\the treatment meted out
to the black man everywhere, involy-
ing a polley of invidious discrimina-
tion which excludes none but em-
braces all, and not.only recognized
universally as the measure to be met
ed out fo'the black man, but pro-
claimed” as the one condition upon
which the black man Is to live, move
and have bis being. With such an
outlook confronting him, the black
man would be less than human if he
failed to realize the situation end take
counsel with himself as to the ways
and ‘means he should adopt for meet-
ing the ominous outlook. The very
exigencies of the circumstances in
which he finds himself, compel the
black man as a rational being to do
80. Race preservation, which is only
another name for self-preservation, ‘is
as important for him as for any other
human being. And whatever may be
sald against the black man endeavor-
ing to unite and formulate a national
policy from his own standpoint as a
setoff against the national problems
he is compelled-to face, he is but act-
ing upon the dictates of reason and
common sense such as would actuate
any other people placed in,}tke citcum-
stances. Whenever such an attempt
of the kind is made by the black man,
or eten where the attempt is sug-
gested, it is generally met with soft
sophisms something Ike the follow-
ing:
“He (the black" man) should always
persist In looking rather at the bright
than the gloomy side of their posi-
ton; that he should-see how they ad-
Yanedd: that he should vage sad be:
lieve that nothing could \theck thelr
advance; that he should teach that
the darkest cloud had a silver lining:
that he should frankly recognize and
highly value the services and co-opera-
tlon of thousands of Europeans In the
cause of justice, and he should
strengthen their hands and their work
and not make It more difficult; and
that be should abstain from express-
ing doctrines which Imparted to the
larger section of the European people
a spirit of general injustice and gen-
eral hostility to the advancement of
the native.”
The foregoing represents the time-
honored advice tendered the black
man-by his European well-wisher.
Those who tender the advice lose
sight of the important question which
it postulates. Such question relates
to the reason why the grumblings of
the black man under the acknowledg-
ed burden of distress and ill treatment
meted out to him should arouse “a
spirit of general injustice and geacral
hostility” with the European, both
friends and foes, toward him, and that,
too, in spite of the wellknown fact
tliat of all men, the black man has
given the least cause of offense to the
European. This shows the existence
of % bottom feeling of ill will towards:
the black man, and which because
of its lacking any justification, invests
both the advice and friendship pro-
fessed with a speciousnees which {fs
too plain to be overloohed. And the
shadowy character of both 1s further
exposed by the equivocal suggestion
that the native should keeo his eye
or faith pinned to “the bright side”
of his position while that position is
one of overwhelming darkness and
despair. It would indeed be Interest-
ing and enlightening as well if Mr.
Schreiner or any other well wisher of
the native ‘would indicate where the
light or hopeful prospect for the na-
ve of South Africa lies. when the In-
tolerance and ‘persecution which had
already been brought to bear at the
hands of white communities has beea
legalized by his being disfranchised
by the act of union, and which the
forts and services of the thousands
of Europeans advocating the cause of
justice did not avail to prevent. And
while the African’ is bound to appre~
ciate services in the cause of justice’
and humanity, at the same time he
recognizes also that such services are
specially directed to arrest Injustice
with the European himeelf and have
nim to conform to the rule of life and
(0 acquire the character which be-
somes him as the civilized and Chrie.
to these matters In order to show how
dark and dismal Is the outlook as it
appears to the black -man, and who
whlle surveying all sides for come ray
or hope, $s pondering serfously on
the trivial matter of self-preservation.
And the movement for tho native to
become united in his own interest In
South Africa is the inevitable and
natural course which the native must
take everywhere, as being forced upon
hin: by the inexorable conditions with
which he is menaced. “Let us get
together” is the step suggested by his
awakened consciousness, and the
widespread character of which is de
noted by a like echo from the gold
coast. And while, as fs accurately ex-
pressed by the editor of Tsaldea Be-
coana, “the native Is not in any way
looking for antagoniem,""?he desires to
ret together In order to discuss the
outlook for him, social, rolitical and
economic, and to render it possible
for the formulation by the native him-
self from his own standpoint of the
stand he should take under the exigen-
cles of present:day life and activities.
(From Charlotte Evening Chronicle.)
The three weeks’ conference of the
A.M. E. Zion church, which closed at
Cltnton Chapel, brought to Charlotte
the most representative gathering of
colored citizens that perhaps was
ever in the elty at one time.
Men from Massachusetts, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylavnia, Alabama,
Texas, Tennessee, and trom neatly ev-
ery state east of the Miselsipp!, have
been here, engaged from day to day In
the most Important work of the
church, a church that represents 2
membership of over a half million of
the best colored people in the country
and in the south, upright and law-
ablding men and women, who are an
honor to their race.
‘The dignity and conservatism with
which the yenerable bishops of the
church have presided from day to day
jin regular rotation kept the confer-
ence deliberations on a high plane,
and during the three'weeks of the con-
ference many sentIments, opinions and
views have been expressed relative to
the future welfare of the colored race
‘that would be heartily seconded by
every conservative white citizen per-
haps in the entire country. The con-
ference was one of harmony and
peace, representing the spirit of the
great church which it represented as
the highest official body of that
church, There was never a word of
rancor or of race strife uttered, but on
the contrary the whole occasion was
marked by a spirit of brotherhood and
of desire for the best relations pos-
sible that might evist between the
races while the Rreat*subject of the
moral welfare of the colored man was
always given the leading preference
over all other considerations.
The assemblage of such men in any
city is calculated to draw the atten-
tion of the white race to the fact that
the brother in black {s not only capa-
ble of but has already accomplished his
sphere the development of men of
brains, of deep spiritual Insight and of
wise and practical counsel, men who
can see deeper than the ordinary man
Into the problem of the black man in
America, and who do not hesitate to
express those convictions in a manner
that carried with it power to impel
the concurrence of falr and open
minds evrywhere.
The? one act of the candidates for
high office of biskop in throwing
aside as so many childish trinkets
their personal ambitions for the good
of the great church which they have
sworn fealty to, and thus declare to
the world that the service of the mas-
ter Js paramount In their minds and
their deliberative bodies, has ‘“con-
vinced their white friends that these
men are not timeservers or politi
clans, juggling with te offices of the
church. When & score of men said
they would get out of the race for
bishop in order to maintain the falr
rame of the church and to keep tho
peace, they perhaps unconsciously
brought upon themselves a higher
mead of true honor than they could
have achieved In many years as
bishop in the church.
“It was an honest, upright gathering
of the best colored men of the coun:
try, devoted with one united aim to
the furtherance of the cause of that
kingdom whose subjects they are. The
colored people have safe and sane
leaders In these men, if those who at-
tended the Charlotte conference are
even average examples of the preach
ers and church officers of the great
Institution which they represent, and
with the whole country's colored pop-
ulation dominated by such men as.
these, God-fearing and even sticklers |
for the tested and tried doctrines of
their church, there would be no race
problem—such would have no mean-
ing to these men. ~
And yet had it not been for the re-
quests of the newspapers for reports
of the proceedings, the whole confer-
ence might aave met, worked and ad-"
journed, and the world remained ‘un-
informed of such a gathering. They
exemplify the classic quotation that
shallow streams murmur but the
deeps are dumb.
SPICED RED CABBAGE.
Shave a medium sized head of-red
cabbage and soak for half an hour in
cold water, then drain as dry as pos-
sible. In a saucepan melt one heap-
ing tabiespoonful of butter and add
one tablespoonful of sugar, one tea-
spoonful of salt, one-quarter teaspoon-
ul of pepper, six whole cloves and one-
balt cup of good vinegar. Add the
cratned cabbage, cover and cook slow-
ly, then simmer gently for fully an
hour and a half.
BISHOP THIRKIELD =”
AND HIS GOOD: WORK
It {s a matter of the greatest con-
cern to the 250,000 Negro members of
the white Methodist Episcopal Church
that the dominant sentiment of the
church has {ts teeth set as firmly now
as twenty years against the election of
any of its Negro membership to the
office of bishop resident in the United
States. Some years ago Dr. Isaiah
Benjamin Scott was elected a mission-
ary biskop and assigned to West Af-
rica. This was a concession even that
was made grudgingly. Beyond this
the General Conferences of the past
twelve years have refused to budge,
despite the tremendous efforts put for-
ward by influential preachers and lay-
men. During the past year the svb-
fect has gone over from every polnt
in The Age editorially ayd by Rev.
S. H, Norwood, Dr. Ernest Lyon and
others,
There fs a strong sentiment in the
church that the blacks should sepa-
rate themselves from the white parent
body, and the sentiment is shared by
many whites as well as blacks. The
stronger sentiment, however, among
negroes is, at thls time, that they
should remain with the parent. body
and hope and labor for the develop-
ment of a healthier brotherly senti-
ment in the church. That was the
regnant sentiment before the recent
meeting of the general conference at
Minneapolis, at which eight new
bishops were elected; what the seutl-
ment now is It would be very interest-
ing to know, as men don't feel the
same out of a contest with defeat as
they do when going into it with the
hope df success. But ft 1s not con-
ceivable that £0 large a body of ne-
groes will stand many years longer for
the attitude of charitable toleration
that the church has taken and main-
tained toward them. Men want a
square deal nowadays, whatever work
(hey co-operate with others In; if they
can't get It in one way they will get
it in another, but they get it, or keep
striving to get it.
At the Minneapolis conference, dur-
ing the balloting for the election of
the eight bishops there were times
when It looked as if Dr. R. E. Jones,
the accomplished editor of the South-
western Christian Advocate, would be
elected by accident, as it were; but
the “Thou shalt not” senttment of the
dog in the mulo’s stable blocked the
way. When there was but one more
bishop to elect the negro delegates
concentrated upon the best white man,
for them, in the situation, as a com:
promise, and succeeded in having Dr.
Wilbur P. Thirkleld, president of How-
ard untversity, elected. It was the
best course for them to pursue under
the circumstances, as Dr. Thirkleld
has been connected with them, ‘and
their works as an educator, thorough-

TREATMENT OF LIVE STOCK,
Horses and, in fact, all domestle
animals, are very much more impres.
slonable than they are generally sup.
posed to be. Cattle which have had a
Kind master, 2 man of gentle but firm
nature, show the effect of their asso
clations as a breed or strain. Years
of good treatment not only make an
impression on the individuals, but are
4mpressed with such force as to” be-
come a breed characteristic. In short.
a keen judge can tell pretty nearly
what sort of association a horse has
had by his temperament.
The importance of creating a good
temperament in a trotting or pacing
horse should not be underrated, The
horge with a good temperament will
do more work and do {t better, than
one which has not got a welt-bal-
anced temperament,
The things ‘that come to the man
who waits have generally been pretty
thoraugbly picked over before they
reach him.
THE NEGRO CHURCH
(From The Crisis.)
It happens that curing this month,
in the north, in the west ard south,
there are meetings the ruling Metho-
dist ecclesiastical bodies representing
a membership of 1,173,000 colored
Americans. Later, in mldsummer, the
Baptist conventions, which represent
2,300,000 members, will meet. ‘here
three and a half million of people rem
resent tho great middle class of col-
ored Americans. The lotrest class
havo never been reached;, the highest
class of the educated and thoughtful
are being gradually lost. The great
middle mass remains, and in 33,000
churches holding $37,000,000 worth of
Property they form a pecullar orga-
nized government of men. Under some
fifty powerful leaders and thirty thou-
sand salaried local preachers they
raise and expend over seven millions
of dollars a year.
Before such an organization one
must bow with respect. It bas ac-
complished much. It'has instilled and
conserved morals, It has helped family
Iife, it has taught and developed abil-
Ity and given the colored man his best
business training. It bas planted in
every city and town of the Union,
with few exceptions, meeting places
for colored folk which vary from
shelters to luxurfous and beautiful
edifices. >
Notwithstanding this, all is not well
with the colored church. First, Its
fitty leaders are in too many cases
not the men they should be. This Is
not peculiar to the negro church, but
{t 1s true to a larger degree than fs
healthful. We can point to pure-
minded, efficient, unselfish prelates
hike the late Bishop Paine, the pres-
‘ent Bishop Lee and J. W. White. We
have men of scholarship.and standing
lke Bishop J, Albert Johnson, and we
have efficient men of affairs like John
F. Hurst, M. C. P, Mason and R. H.
Boyd.
The trouble {s, however, this: Thera
are too‘few such men. The paths
and the higher places are choked with
pretentious ill-trained men and’ in far
too many cases with men d{shonest
and otherwise Immoral. Such" men
make the way of upright 2nd bysiness
candidates for the power extremely
dificult. They put an undue-premlum
upon finesse and personal Influence.
Having thus a partially tainted
Jeadership, small wonder that the
30,000 colored ministers fall as a mass
far below tho expectations. . There
are among them hustling business
men, eloquent talkers, suave com-
panions and hale fellows, but only
here and there does one meet men
Uke Henry L. Phillips of Philadelphia
—burning spiritual guides of a trou-
bled, panting people, utterly self-for-
getful, utterly devoted to a great ideal
of righteousness.
Yet this Is precisely the type for
which the church—the white church
ag well as the black church—is cry-
ing. This is the only type which will
hold thoughtful, reasonable men to
membership with this organization.
Today the tendencies are not this
way. Today the church Is still in-
veighing against dancing and theater-
going, still blaming educated people
for objecting to silly and empty ser-
mons, boasting and noise, still build-
ing churches when people need homes
and schools, and rersisting in crucity-
ing critics rather than realizing tho
handwriting on the wall.
Let us trust that these great
churches in conference, rementbering
the leaders of the past and conscious
of all that the chureh has Uone well,
Will set their faces to these deeds.
1. Electing as bishops and lenders
only men of honesty, probity and effl-
eleney and rejecting the nofsy and
inclean leaders of the thoughtless
mob.
2. Weeding out the ministry s- as
to increase the clean apostks of
service and saérifice. -
% Initiating positive programs of.
edueation and social uplift and dis-
couraging extravagant bullding and
mere ostentation.
4. Bending every effort to male the
nesro church a place where colored
men and women of education and en-
ergy can work for the best things re-
gardless of their belicf-or disbelief In
unimportant dogmas and ‘ancient and
outworn creeds.
MADE ALFALFA GROW?
“It won't, grow here because it can’t
get its roots down to water,” said ev-
ery one, and “water” was in the creek
at the base of the hill 150 feet high,
‘The acre Sloped gently to the east and
was In oats, following a crop of about
seventy-five bushels of corn per acre.
The oats were cut and removed about
July 10, stubble mowed and turned,
and then disked four times’ Once a
week until August 15 the land was
worked, harrowed, rolled and plank-
dragged. August 19 we went to the
schoolhouse yard, where, a crop of
clover grew, and got ten bushels of the
top ‘soil, mixed {t with a wagon box
full of manure and scattered it over
the agre, harrowing it in well.
On the morning of August 20 we
sowed ten pounds of alfalfa seed north,
south and cross sowed ten, pounds east
and west; then we put a boy on a
horse, hitched the horse to a sixty-
tooth harrow, eet the teeth: slanting
backward as much as possible and let
him run the harrow over the patch.
The next June 1 we cut full two tons
of cured alfalfa hay, July 13 a ton
and a half, and September 12 another
ton and a half.
‘This was our first alfalfa; since 1906
we have repeated our success twice by
the.same plan; thorough sofl prepa-’

The Sunday School Lesson
SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR
JULY 21, 1912.
THE GROWTH OF THE KINGDOM.
Golden Text.—Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Matt. 6.
LESSON TEXT.—Mark 4;26-32;
Matt. 13;33. Commit vs. 26-29.
TIME.—Autumn A. D. 28. PLACE.
—By the Sea of Gallilee near Capernaum.
EXPOSITION.—I. The Seed Growing of Itself, 26-29. This parable is found only in the Gospel of Mark, but it is in the closest relation to the parables of the "Sower" and "The Wheat and Tares," found in the 13th chapter of Matthew, verses 1-30. In this parable also the seed is the Word (cf. Luke 8:11; 1 Pet. 1-23). It is to be sown in the human heart; it springs up and grows because it is a living thing. Jesus sows it and so does every teacher and preacher of the Word. It is a wonderfully comforting thought that if we sow the true seed, it grows even while we sleep (v. 27). We do not know how it grows nor do we need to know. All we need to know is that it will grow. The kingdom of God appears insignificant in its beginnings in the human heart but it will grow. In the Christian life we must not expect the full corn in the ear at the beginning, we must be patient and rejoice in the blade, knowing that "the ear" and "the full corn in the ear" will follow in their season. Jesus is the harvester (v. 29). He knows just the right time to reap the grain and the moment it is "ripe" (v. 29 R. V.) He putteth in His sickle.
II. Outward Growth, 30-32. There is the closest relation between the parable of the mustard seed, and the two parables that precede it. It is still the parable of the seed and teaches the growth of the kingdom. The kingdom of heaven is like the mustard seed in its small beginnings and its marvelous growth (cf. Acts 1:15; with Acts 21:20; see also Ps. 72-16, 17; Dan.2:34, 35). The kingdom of heaven was first planted in a single seed, Jesus Himself (John12:24; Gal. 3:15). In the eyes of the world, this seed was small and utterly insignificant (is. 33:2, 3). This parable is intended rather to teach the outward growth of the kingdom in the work than the "internal growth of the church" or "the growth of the spiritual life of the individual." There may be other respects in which the kingdom of heaven is like the mustard seed. He sows it in His field, which is the world (Matt. 13:57-38). By the birds of heaven coming and lodging in the branches thereof is symbolized the nations of the earth taking shelter under the shadow of the kingdom of God (Ezek. 17, 22, 23, 31, 6, 12;
POETRY of and by Our People
O Holy Father, just and true and right,
With our unworthy selves we bow the knees
To offer up our souls with power and might
In praise and loving thankfulness to Thee.
We thank Thee for our health through all the years.
Theo hast been good and just in every way.
And still when 'er the beam of day appears.
Thy loving presence comes in every ray.
We thank Thee for this land of beauty rare.
The hills and mountains show Thy wondrous plan.
Thou art a God of mercy and of care.
So mindful Thou art of the needs of man.
Accept, O Lord, our thanks for faithful friends,
Who are our prop and stay on every hand,
They walk with us on earth and to its ends
Are one united, earnest, loving band.
But most we thank Thee for Thy own dear Son
Who gave His life to save our souls from sin.
Accept our praise as unto Thee we come,
Accept our grateful hearts yea, given to Him.
O may this day be filled with thanks and praise
With earnest joy and strong devotion sweet!
Direct us, Lord, in all our thought and ways.
Till we around Thy throne above shall meet.
SCENT O' PINES.
Love, shall I lick them unto the rose
That is so sweet?
Nay, shall I lick them unto the girls.
Then sentierte lies upon the garden rows
Beneath our feet.
Dan. 4:12-14). Some take it that "the birds" in this parable are same as those in the first of "the seven parables of the kingdom" (Matt. 13:4, 19), but this will not bear close examination. Almost all movements which are from God are like the mustard seed, small in their beginnings, but great in their growth.
III. Inward Decay, Matt. 12:33. In the third parable of our lessons, the kingdom of heaven is likened into yeast, which the woman took and hid in three measures of meal, etc. In every other passage in the Bible, where leaven is found, it is the type of corruption and evil (1 Cor. 5:6, 7; Gal. 5:8, 9; Matt. 16:6; see also leaven in the Old Testament). It was not usually allowed in the sacrifices which must be pure. There was one offering in which it was allowed, the meal offering in connection with the sheaf and the wave offering (Lev. 23:17). It was permitted here to symbolize the imperfect human element. It is used as a symbol of corruption because it is the product of decay. As this is the universal use of leaven in the Bible, the antecedent probability is that it is the type of corruption here also. This probability becomes a certainty when we read the inspired interpretation of this parable (1 Cor. 5:6, 7; Gal. 5:8, 9). The parable sets forth the fact which history has abundantly fulfilled, that along with the marvelous growth of the kingdom in its outward manifestation, there would go on also a process of inward decay. The woman of the parable represents the apostate church (cf. Zech. 5:7-11; Rev. 17:3-6; 1 Tlm. 2:14). The three measures of meal represents the children's bread. There are three measures because that was the usual amount for a baking (Gen. 18:6; Judges 6:19; 1 Sam. 1:24). Three forms of leaven are mentioned in the teaching of Christ (Matt. 16:6, 12; Mark 8:15). The woman "hid" the leaven because Satan and his emissaries always work by stealth (cf. Matt. 12:35). The apostate church has mixed the corrupting leaven of error with the children's bread, the Word of God. Satan never presents leaven alone to men to feed upon, he always mixes it with meal—covers it up with truth—Christian Science and every other modern form of error has a measure of truth mixed with it, but the heaven corrupted the whole three measures of meal. The whole doctrine of the church was corrupted for centuries by the leaven of error which had been mixed with it at a very early date. The whole doctrine and life of the church leavened. We can find a safeguard against this corrupting of the children's bread by the leaven of false doctrine in the study of the Word of God (Acts 20:29, 30, 32; 2 Tim. 3:13, 14). In the second and third parables taken together we have a picture of the outward growth and inward rot in the outward manifestation of the kingdom of God among men. Jesus got his illustrations for these three parables from the simplest affairs of every day life. Here is a lesson for Christian workers today.
Leading Questions—What do these parables teach us about our Lord? About the kingdom of God? About false doctrine? What is the best lesson in the passage?
"SLUMBERING ON."
And what if I go to join the numberless band,
And slumber in the dust?
Why should I fear to shake the ley hand
If Fate says I must?
And what is all this world to me
As I look to yonder shore?
With the soul's eternal eyes I see
Life forever more.
Then let me sleep, Oh! wake me not,
For life I do not crave;
Lay me in some lonely, dreary spot,
And then forget my grave.
Here let me lay and slumber on
Until that final day,
When earth shall yield her sleeping throng
From her breast of clay.
Weep not for me when I am gone
For weeping gives you pain;
Remember the good and forget the wrong
And leave me free from stain.
This is all I shall ask of thee
When I am gone!
One word, one kindly thought of me,
While I am slumbering on.
~Archile R. Smith,
A MOMENT WITH THE BIBLE.
A moment in the morning ere the cares of day begin.
Ere the hearts wide door is open for the world to enter in;
Ah, then, alone with Jesus, in the silence of the morn.
In heavenly, sweet communion let your duty day be born;
In the quietest that blesses with a prelude of repose.
Let your soul be soothed and softened, as the dew relives the rose.
A moment in the morning take your Bible in your hand.
And catch a gimpse of glory from the peaceful promised land;
It will linger still before you when you you busy mart.
And, like flower hope will blossom into beauty in your heart;
The precious words, like jewels, will glisten all the day.
With a rare, effulgent glory that will brighten all the way.
ON A MAY MORNING.
Now the bright morning star, day's harbinger,
Comes dancing from the east and leads with her
The flowery May, who from her green lap throws
The yellow cowlips and the pale primrose.
Hall, bonanteous May, that doest inspire
Marth and youth and warm desire!
Woods and groves are of thy dressing,
Hill and dale doth boast thy blessing,
Thus we salute thee with our early song
And welcome thee and wish thee long.
—John Milton.
RACE WAR BREAKS OUT IN AFRICA AS KAFFIRS RUN AMUCK
Death Sentence Is Pronounced on Several South African Natives but Black Peril Is Not-Diminished.
WHITE WOMEN CARRY.REVOLVERS IN HOMES—VIGILANCE COMMITTEE IS ORGANIZED, AND WHITE PEOPLE RETALIATE BY DRIVING BLACKS OUT OF TERRITORY.
Johannesburg.—The black peril has in no way diminished as the result of recent death sentences being carried out on South African natives. Vigilance committees are springing up all over this district, and gunsmiths are reaping a harvest. Women are devoting themselves to revolver practice, and the Daughters of the Transvaal, a local body of female volunteers, who divide their time between ambulance work and amazonic militarism, are extending their sphere of usefulness so that non-members may learn how to use firearms and practice fuji-jitsu. In Turffontelin, a thickly populated suburb, a woman was not only attacked by unknown kaffirs, but was carried from her room, where she was sleeping with her baby, to a plantation 150 yards away. Ten days after the outrage she died from 'shock'. Similar instances, although fortunately unaccompanied by fatal results, are occurring not only in the Transvaal, but in the Orange Free State and Cape Colony. In spite of this reign of black terror, the Botha government does nothing to show that it has the welfare of the community at heart. For this reason the people of Johannesburg are taking the law into their own hands. Kaffir drives are becoming a constant occurrence. A "drive" took place at Forest Hill, a suburb at the south of the town, somewhat beyond Turffontelin. A rumor of outrage spread round the district, and 400 determined men gathered armed with revolvers, shotguns, sjamboks, whips and sturdy branches of blue trees.
For a time they listened patiently to speeches offering suggestions as to the best means of counteracting the growth of black outrages. Suddenly one of the crowd jumped up and dred a revolver. "We've yapped enough," he cried. "Now's the time to act. Come on. We'll have the drive now, and dispense with resolutions." In a moment order was thrown to the winds. Dozens of revolvers"were flourished, and the chairman's appeals for order fell on deaf ears. "Volunteers who know the road," was the first cry. Thirty or forty men stepped forward. Each guide was told to take charge of a couple of score of men, and a move was made for the Kenilworth plantations.
All natives found abroad were subjected to a severe cross-examination. Three natives and a Cape boy, all provided with the requisite pass, were escorted back to their "baas" houses, and the Cape boy, who smelt strongly of done brandy, was recommended for and received chastisement. The excited crowd was looking for a black about five feet six inches high, hatted, booted, and gray suited. Every native answering to this description was stopped and examined by the angry drivers, whose blood was now thoroughly up. Natives who tried to escape received rough handling. There were so many gangs abroad that any black, after refusing to submit to full inquiry, who attempted to get away, fell foul of other search parties and soon relented under the whip or sambak. A running black, as may be surmised, was asked no questions, but laid by the heels at once. Six natives roughly answering the description, but also to prove their innocence of any outrage, were terribly handled before the police arrived on the scene and endeavored to calm the maddened crowd.
SAVES LIFE OF WHITE BOY.
Key West, Fla., June 18—Emil Whitmarsh, a boy about 10 years old, was saved from drowning by a negro lad of about 16 years of age.
Young Whitmarsh was sitting on the south end of the Mallory dock watching some swimmers in the water. Two other boys were playing on the dock, when one pushed the other, knocking him overboard.
While he was falling his outstretched hand struck the Whitmarsh boy on the shoulder, and he fell in the water.
Two of the swimmers went to his assistance, but it was not until James Hall, the negro lad mentioned in the first paragraph, sprang overboard without removing his clothes, that he was rescued, but little the worse for his experience.
MUSSEL MUD AS FERTILIZER.
Around Prince Edward Island in Canada deposits of mussel mud have been encountered, from 5 to 25 feet deep, and this is now being extensively taken for use as fertilizer. This material is the organic remains of countless generations of oysters, mussels, clams and other shellfish. The shells, usually more or less intact, are found imbedded in dense deposits of a mudlike substance, and this combination is a fertilizer of high value and potency. It supplies lime and organic matter, besides small quantities of phosphate and alkalies.
THESUNDAYSCHOOLCONGRESS NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOCIA-
The National Baptist Sunday School Congress, Dr. C. H. Clark, of Nashville, Tennessee, president, and Mr. Henry Allen Boyd, secretary, held its seventh annual meeting at Tuskogee Institute beginning Wednesday, June 5, and closed the following Sunday night. When the special trains from Nashville, Tennessee, Montgomery and Selma, Alabama, reached the Institute depot Wednesday morning, the distinguished parties were greeted by Principal Washington, members of the Executive Council, teachers, the Institute Band, a very largest number of students and prominent citizens of the community, Dr. Nathaniel H. Pius in charge of a trained chorus, and superintendents, teachers and pupils of three Baptist Sunday schools of the neighborhood, carrying banners, streamers and flags.
The greeting was most cordial.
A procession was quickly formed, and, led by the band, marched directly to the Institute Chapel, where President Clark called the Congress to order and the seventh annual meeting was opened for business.
Prominent among those who addressed the Congress were Mr. W. W. Campbell of Tuskegee, president of the Macon County Bank, who delivered the address of welcome in behalf of the white citizens of Tuskegee and the white Baptists of Alabama; Principal Booker T. Washington, who delivered the address of welcome in behalf of the Institute; Rev. W. H. Moses, D. D., who made the magnificent response in behalf of the Congress, who was followed by Prof. J. W. Bell of Earlington, Kentucky, whose short address was a gem; Dr. Homer C. Lyman of Hamilton, New York, Superintendent of Teacher Training in the Negro Colleges of the United States, representing the International Sunday School Association with headquarters at Chicago; Dr. Sutton E. Griggs of Nashville, Tennessee, representing the Educational Board, and Mrs. Booker T. Washington, introduced by Prof. R. B. Hudson, as "the first colored lady of the land," Rev. R. H. Bowling, D. D., of Norfolk, Virginia, who delivered the principal address of the Congress, reviewing in words of eloquence the work of the present session, and paying a high compliment to the Principal of Tuskegee Institute and the work he is doing for the race, and Dr. Henry II. Meyer of New York, Secretary of the Sunday School Council of Evangelical Denominations in the United States and Canada, who delivered a very helpful address on "Looking Forward," stating among other things that the best organized and equipped Sunday school of today shows what the average Sunday school will be in the near future. Continuing, Dr. Meyer, said: "I have been profoundly impressed during my attendance at the sessions of the National Baptist Sunday School Congress by the higher ideals, splendid achievements and efficient leadership which the Sunday School work of the National Baptist fellowship represents. The place of meeting for the Congress this year was most fortunate. Tuskegee Institute stands before the American people as the one monumental object lesson of what industry, patience and state statesmanlike leadership can do in a strategic situation. It also appeals to me as the greatest practical demonstration I have yet seen of the possibilities of industrial progress among the Negro race."
Principal Washington was enthusiastically received by the Congress. He spoke of the ten millions of Negroes in this country, 82 per cent of whom live in the rural districts and are engaged in agricultural pursuits. These teeming millions may be comparatively ignorant, but they are not degraded; they are worth saving. The organization that will reach out and take hold of these people in the rural districts, said Dr. Washington, and left them to a higher plane of Christian civilization is the organization that shall live and grow and abide. All the papers read before the Congress showed careful study and some of them showed thorough scholarship and deep insight into the concrete work of the organization.
The personnel of the Congress was inspiring. Real workers were in attendance. There was a conspicuous absence of pyrotechnic oratory, except an occasional rocket. No time was lost in fulsome praise of mediclarity. It was neither a mutual admiration gathering nor an amateur debating society. It was an assemblage of Christian workers doing constructive work, solving some of the problems affecting the future of the race. Dr. R. H. Boyd, of the National-Baptist Publishing Board, Nashville, supported and surrounded by his "Cabinet" in the conduct of that great enterprise, was a dominating personality in all the deliberations of the Congress. Delegates were present from every section of the country. The departmental meetings were especially helpful and instructive.
The parade of the Institute Battalion, the young women here during the summer, the officers and members of the Congress, local Sunday School organizations, and church workers Sunday afternoon, headed by the Institute Band, was an inspiring sight.
The Alabama Penny Savings Bank has been selected as the depository of the funds of the A. M. E. Zion church, which means that the headquarters of that great religious body will be transferred from Philadelphia to Birmingham and the money hitherto manipulated by white men will be under the management and control of colored men.
The fourteenth annual meeting of the National Medical Association will be held at Tuskegee Institute, August 27, 28 and 29, 1912. The first announcement of the meeting as sent out by Dr. Kenney, chairman of the local committee, and General Secretary of the National Medical Association follows:
The indications are that all roads will lead to Tuskegee Institute in August of this year. From several sections of the country advice comes to us to the effect that arrangements are being made for special parties. Clubs are forming for the purpose of taking the best advantage of rates and convenience of travel. It is generally conceded that the coming meeting will be the best attended the Association has ever witnessed. Arrangements are being perfected to comfortably and pleasantly care for all who come. Physicians, dentists, pharmacists, nurses and members of their families and friends are earnestly requested to attend. Features of interest to heads of schools, ministers, teachers and other representative leaders will be presented. They are cordially invited to come.
Tuskegee Institute is fast becoming a "Convention City." We are accustomed to handling big crowds. From all parts of the world visitors come to Tuskegee to see what we are doing, and to study our educational methods. The International Conference just closed brought representatives of some 20 different nations or their colonies. Do you believe we can interest you? Come and see. The campus with its beautiful flowers, shrubbery and shade trees, buildings, chert roads and extensive fields of growing crops furnish a veritable panorama of beauty.
Of special interest to members of the profession will be the scientific program, which will contain papers and addresses by some of the leading lights in medicine. The U. S. Public Health and Marine Hospital service will be represented. Dr. W. A. Warfield, the skillful surgeon-in-chief of Freedman's Hospital, Washington, D.C., will deliver the oration on surgery. The Pellagra Commission is expected present some startling original ideas with reference to the successful treatment of this baffling disease. The Clinic Committees are striving to present the most interesting series of clinics we have witnessed. The side attractions will be such as to satisfy the most skoptical. We have arranged to entertain all of the delegates and visitors on this occasion at the nominal and uniform rate of $1.00 per day.
Announcement to be made later concerning the matter of railroad rates. Those intending to come will kindly advise the chairman of the local committee, and arrangements will be made.

CORN CULTIVATION.
The following bulletin, being No. 2 in the series, has just been issued by Manager S. M. Jordan of the Pettis County Bureau of Agriculture.
"A few years ago the only race at this season was as to who could get done planting first. The game in Pettis county seems to have changed, and now it is who can get his seed bed in the finest shape?
"I must say that I never saw fancier work done. In only rare cases do bad clods appear. Some seem as yet not to have caught the idea. Most of the corn fields are like gardens. This is certainly wise, as it means much easier and better work from now on.
"It is evident that if the seed planted grows, something of a corn crop is sure, as when men prepare such seed beds as we find in Pettis county, these same men will do the best of the work ahead as it should be.
"There were only a few fields, comparatively, when the ground was not disked ahead of the plow. Then most of them were harrowed and disked and harrowed again. Some, however, plowed first and plowed the entire field, leaving the clods for a rain to come to soften their clods; in fact, they seem to hope that Providence will do the big end of their farming. These can't expect much. Some corn that has been planted and not yet up has had one cultivation already with a harrow.
"When the time comes for the cultivator, deep plowing is safe and often advisable the first time. This is true where the ground may have been packed pretty closely. Corn roots cut at this first plowing cannot' do much harm, and, in some instances, actually do good.
"As the season progresses, it is commonly best to cultivate a little smallower each subsequent time, and in laying by as few roots as possible should be disturbed.
"Deep cultivation late in the season should be avoided, if possible. Sometimes this deep work may be necessary when heavy rains may have run the soil together and weeds have the start and cannot be killed by shallow work.
"On rolling ground the land should be ridged as little as possible. It is sometimes necessary to ridge on flat land when the season may be wet; also, when the season is very wet, deep cultivation is sometimes best. The more the surface is stirred the more moisture the soil will hold or the less evaporation will take place."—Sam Jordan in Missouri Farmer.

ALLEGED AXMAN SET FREE.
Columbus, Tex.—One of the most noted criminal cases of recent years before the district courts of this county was brought to a close when the jury in the noted "axman" case brought in a verdict of not guilty. Jim Fields, a negro charged by indictments returned by a special grand jury called on April 13 with the murder of a family of six negroes near Glidden, was the defendant. It was charged that Fields on the night of March 27, entered a house near the Glidden railroad station and with an ax killed Lyle Finucane, Ellen Munroe and four Munroe children, all negroes.
A special session of the grand jury was convened on April 13, and Fields was indicted under six counts. He was tried on the charge of killing Lyle Finucane. After deliberating one hour the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. The verdict was greeted by cheers, especially among the negro spectators. The courtroom has been filled with an interested crowd throughout the trial.

Among the Masons.
The Grand Chapter 0. E. S, meets in
Brunswick Tuesday mornirg August!
20, at 9o’clock. It is expected that a
large number of representative will be
present and that the session will be 4
real helpful one. .
The Grand Secretary has communi-
cated with the several lodges failing -to
make annual reports or owe a small
balance. An immediate response from
these Lodges is requested, .
While Freemasonry has often ameli-
orated the horrors of war, it has never
been responsible for a-war in the his-
tory of the world.—Texas Freémason.
The first business of an investigating
committe should be to discover why the
petitioner desires to become a Mason.—
Masonic Standard.
Oa ee ee age ene eee Se
nal there isa club In Louisville, Ky.,
known as the Low Twelve Club, limited
to 305 members, all Masons. The mem-
bership fee is $2.10: $2.00 of which is
put in the bank to pay death losses—$50
on notice of death, and $250 ten days
thereafter. On death of a member ev-
ery ong is called on for $1.00 and if not
paid in ten days the membership is de-
clared forfeited and the next one on
list of applicants is admitted.
Sometime ago I was traveling in India.
Thad a body seryant, 2 Mohammedan,
and during my travels in that great
empire I had occasion to take slip trom
a smaller seacoast town to Calcutta.
We encountered rather rough weather
as we skirted the Indian coast, anasmy
Mohammedan servant became smitten
with the pangs of seasickness. In his
anguish he made the Masonic sign of
distress. J answered it, and the bond
of fellowship-that sprung up between
us as a result was a source of comfort
to me on all of our joint travels in that
far offcountry. And were that Moham-
medan to come to this country, breth-
ren, where would he find a welcome?
If he were cast out of church, if he were
refused admittance to an American
home, if he were prohibited from cross-
ing the threshold of a club where would
he find refuge? You can answer it.
For the kind and helping hand of Ma-
sonry would be extended tohim though
a stranger in a strange land, ke would
be taken in and made at home.—Bishop
Potter, New York. |
So often in life we speak unkindly of
our brother.
Sometimes—indeed, frequently—the
criticism is not deserved. But even
when a brother errs, would it not he
better to go toh im in a kindly spirit—
yes, in a brotherly spirit—and gently
call his attention to the error of his
ways .
‘here are very few men indeed who
would not appreciate such kindness.
Nine times out of ten, or oftener, the
error would not be repeated and the
brother would lead a life free from
criticism
Have you thought how often we may
ourselves be wrong? Have youthought
how often the criticizer may bein error,
rather than the one criticized?
Each hashis viewpoints. Differences
of opinion will continue to exist. No
man is infallible. God aloneis an un-
erring judge.
Let us then practice the law of kind-
ness, not only with our brethren, but
with all mankind. Let us remember
always that “to err is human, to forgive
divine.”’—Herald.
Atarecent non-sectarian meeting in
New York City, the Rev, Madison C.
Peters spoke on “Masonry,’’,saying in
part: ‘Masonry is religious but it is
notareligion. It selects fof no man
Ithe mode or manner of his religious
'| worship, but the open Bible is the first
thing the candidate for Eo coabership
sees initsLodges. I believe the churc!
of the future will be as broad in its
teachings as the Masonic order. And
| when that comes you will have a church
as popular with theman as the lodges
now are. The Jew, the Mohammedan
and the Christian all enter its lodges
under the universal sentiment of broth-
erly love. While the church has been
torn into a thousand sections, Masonry
bas been preserved pure and unchang-
ed without 2 pillae fallen ora principal
abandoned. Never in a thousand years
has there been a forward movement for
the world’s betterment that did not
have the wisdom. that comes from its
teachings. When 2 man Bors wrong he
is expelled from the churches. but
when a brother goes wrong we put
our arm around him to help him and
teach him that heis too good to be a
stave to his habits. The real purpose
of Masonry was notso much tos bring
men to heaven but to bring heaven
down to men.—Scottish Rite Bulletin.
