Taylor, rector of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, who delivered the Emancipation address at the First African Baptist Church. Emancipation Day Widely Observed by Three Celebrations EMANCIPATION AND CHATHAM COUNTY ASSOCIATIONS HELD SPLENDID PARADES-BUSINESS MEN'S FLOATS MADE EXCELLENT SHOWING-BUREKA CLUB'S CELEBRATION WELL ATTENDED --- --- Because of a slight difference between the Eman'pation Association and the Chatham County Association, arising out of the fact that the former was to have commercial floats in its parade on Emancipation day, there were two distinct parades on Thursday morning. Efforts had been made to effect a compromise thereby affording the citizens one grand parade, but the Chatham County Association refused to treat with a committee from the Emancipation Association, the result being the two parades. The two parades began at the same point. Gwinnett and West Broad streets, followed practically identical lines of march, the one going to the First African Baptist church, where Rev J. L. Taylor, rector of St Stephen's Episcopal church, made a splendid address to a very representative gathering, the other going to First Bryan Baptist church, where Prof. R. R. Wright spoke. Rev. Taylor's address was full of wholesome advice and was delivered with much force. The parades left their starting points within about an hour of each other. The Emancipation Association, under chief Marshal W. A. Daughtry, was the first to get off. They were headed by a brass band, followed by members of the association, their wives and friends in fifteen carriages. Next came a part of the floats, the major portion of which were too late to take up the line of march to the church. Leaving there, however, the parade was intact in every respect and received many applauds as it retraced its steps over the original line of march, with the exception of Yamacraw. There were fourteen floats, in line, and they depicted in a very telling manner the progress which the race has made along the lines represented. Perhaps the floats which received most attention were those of the Royall Undertaking company. It was not only unique, but showed in an unmistakable way, the progress which the Negro has made in this line of business. There were four distinct parts to the display of this company. First in line was an old, delapidated hearse, long since ready for the ash pile, which was used by the company in 1890, and so designated by a large sign; following this was an up-to-date funeral wagon, drawn by two well groomed horses, next was a beautiful 1914 funeral car drawn by a pair of fractious, black horses, with draperies; and then in a knobby little buggy drawn by a beautiful bobbed tailed bay horse came the two managers of the company. The other floats in line were the Pilgrim Life Insurance Company, the Guaranty Life Insurance Company, the Union Mutual Association, Shiloh Baptist Church, one on religion; Henry Mears Feed Company, Scott Brothers, one representing the dry goods department, the other representing the ice cream department; the Negro Business League G. H. Bowen, real estate; Savannah Mattress Company, Young Brothers grocery store, Wage Earners Bank and The Savannah-Tribune. Mr. J. C. Lindsay acted as master of ceremonies at the church, as Rev. E. H. Quo, president of the association, was out of the city The Chatham County Association, under Chief Marshal Jake Wright, was headed by the K. of P. band, followed by companies of Knights of Pythias. Four companies of Knights of Damon, headed by the Washington band came next, followed by one company each Boy Scouts and Knights of Damon Juveniles. Middleton's brass band followed with the civic societies. There were in addition about twenty five carriages, conveying among others, the Knights of Damon auxiliary uniformed. Col. C. S. Andrews was in command of the uniform forces and the showing which they made was very commendable. Following their usual custom, the Eureka Aid and Athletic Club held emancipation exercises at their rooms in Masonic Temple in the afternoon. A large and representative crowd was present and the exercises were much enjoyed. Rev. W. L. Cash, pastor of First Congregational church and Mr. J. C. Lindsay were the main speakers. The music was exceptionally good and beautiful souvenirs were given away. Prof. Grant Marries in Las Grange Prof. S. A. Grant, head of the English department of the Georgia State Industrial College, was married on last Tuesday night at LaGrange, Ga., to Miss Willie Alberta Moore. Dr. A. R. Ferebee accompanied Prof. Grant to LaGrange and was best man at the wedding, Mr. and Mrs. Grant arrived in the city Wednesday night. New Head Waiter at Savannah Hotel Mr. John W. Williams, who will have charge of the dining room at the New Savannah Hotel, arrived in the city best week with a few of his men. Mr. Williams is one of the best known head waiters on the Atlantic coast. Asbury M. E. Church Sunday services 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. Sunday school, 3:30 p.m. Class meeting, Tuesdays 8:30 p.m. Epworth League. Thursdays 8:30 p.m. Rev. J. S. Stripling, pastor. Over HomeNews Beaufort, S.C. The true Christmas spirit was shown in Beaufort. It was indeed the merriest sort of a merry Christmas, everybody merry. Dr. N. J. Kennedy and Hon J. I. Washington attended the Masonic Grand Lodge which met in Columbia on December 22; they reported a pleasant time. The mortgage on the Fifty thousand dollar Temple was burned, and now the Masons of South Carolina can boast of owning one of the finest pieces of property in Columbia owned by Negroes. Mr Jacob Brown of Sayannah formerly of this city died in Sayannah on Tuesday, the sixteenth. His remains were brought to Beaufort the interment; he was a member of Corinthian Lodge K. of P. No. 7. and was buried with Pythian honors; he was a member of the F. A. B. Church at which the funeral took place. He leaves a loving wife, three daughters and three sons to mourn their lost. Mrs. Eugene Dickson is the city spending the holidays with her mother, Mrs. Maria Brown. Prof. John O. Martenborough of Bluffton is in the city this week passing out the glad hand to his host of friends. Miss Viola Jenkins who has been spending some time with friends in New York is at home, after a very pleasant stay of four months. Mr. George Moultrie of the Charleston Navy Yard spent Christ mas home with his family. Mr. William Freeman, coxswain U. S. N., located at U. S. disciplinary station, Port Royal, Paris Island, was happily married to Mrs. Mary Jane Johnson on the 18th of December. Both of the contracting parties were very popular. The presents were many. Rev. Washington, of St. Helena Island, pastor of the groom's home church, officiated. Sons of Beaufort Lodge No 36. F. A. A. M. celebrated St. John's day at the M. E. church on Sunday evening the 28th of December where a beautiful sermon was preached and the new officers were installed by Hon. J. I. Washington, P. W. M. Among the most delightful entertainments of the season was that given Monday evening the 29th, by the trained nurses of Beaufort, at Auditorium Building, in the shape of a masked ball. It was indeed the hit of the season. St. Philip Dots Presiding Elder B. S. Hannah, of the Brunswick district, preached at 11 o'clock on Sunday. Rev. Hannah's text was St. Paul 6:11-10; subject, "Be strong." Rev. Singleton preached at 8:15 p. m. All monthly pledges have been discontinued for a while and clubs of five have been organized and each club must raise five dollars per month and must make their report on the second Sunday in each month. The clubs are divided into two divisions, the flying squadron and reserve force. The cantata given by the Sunday School on Monday night was very well attend but on account of the bad weather the attendance was not as large as expected. Watch meeting was held on Wednesday night. Our monthly love feast was held on Friday night. Mr. Edward Bell, one of St. Philip's young members was buried from the church on Wednesday, December 24th, at 10 a.m. Bro. Bell had been a member for about six years and was very faithful to his Christian duties. Mrs. Charlotte Small, one of St. Philip members was buried on Tuesday afternoon. At this writing Mrs. Maggie Richards, one of St. Philip's members, is very well ill at her home. The following services will be held on tomorrow: prayer meeting at 3:50 a.m.; preaching and baptism of children and adults and the right of fellowship given at 11 a.m.; Sunday school at 3 p. m.; A. C. E League at 6:30 p. m.; preaching at 8:15 p. m. Strangers are invited. The Christmas cantata given by St Philip Sunday School was a decided success in every way. The children and all participants acted well their part. The address by Prof. R. W. Gadsden was splendid. NUMBER 16 Urban League Continues to do Good Urban League Continues to do Good THIRTY LOADS OF WOOD TO BE SENT TO THE POOR Out of 478 Subscribers to the Fund Only Fifteen Unpaid—Provisions Made for Helping A Deserving Invalid—Report Of Xmas Fund Next Week. Now that the excitement of the holiday season has subsided and the community has once again fallen back into the old rut, the charitable deeds of the Savannah Branch of the National League on Urban Condition Among Negroes are the talk of the town and on every tongue. Praise is being showered upon those who managed the League's Xmas fund and made it such a success. In telling of the League's baskets distributed Xmas Eve day, we neglected to mention East Savannah and Isle of Hope, where many a poor family was made cheerful through the generosity of the League. Since Christmas day the League has made provisions for thirty loads of wood to be distributed to the poor of the 15 districts into which the city has been divided by the League. Aside from the loads of wood to be given away, the League has made provisions for assisting a very deserving invalid.

Conan Doyle's Greatest Story Beginning next Sunday, January 4, the Sunday World will print during January and February, in its 24-page illustrated Magazine, the complete new Conan Doyle story, entitled "The Lost World." This is a story of colossal strength, thrilling adventure and deep mystery. For the Urban League Savannah My heart is filled with varying emotions—pride, joy and gratitude in the apparent progress on hand. Joy in the willingness of men and women to organize and help the masses as their development mean our salvation. Gratitude to God for sending Mr. Eugene Kinckle Jones, one of the associate directors of the national body. He brings to us the message of conditions in other cities, finding similar conditions here, and finds that there is so little being done towards the masses in our city; he pleads with you to organize. God knows you know the conditions and want to know more about the work, therefore in order to prepare you for one of the greatest works on earth. He sent a message to you and it is left with you to do the work. If you are as broad in all your plans as you were in your first plan, viz., asking the women to join and assist you in this great work I am sure you will be blessed with success. I find in my past experience, there are many things that arise to stop the progress of this work, and one of the greatest is bringing personal feelings into the work. This is God's work and not ours, and for us to do one thing against the work for the least of His children we doeth against Him. These organizations plan and devise means and ways to do everything towards the uplift of the race and if we fail we must suffer the penalty. I trust every one who is interested in the masses and their uplift will give you their support, without their support, you can only do your duty, and that which you cannot do alone will go undone, and they will be rewarded for their neglect in supporting the work. I am not writing this or anything else I may write in the future in the spirit of fault finding as I am only too anxious to write those things that will help, but I do write from experience (which is the best teacher) and as a keynote to the things that will arise sooner or later, and for you to succeed, you must meet them bravely and in the spirit of Christ. You are likely to be discouraged and disheartened, because that which will surely take a few generations to work out will not be secured in your life's work. If you will call to your mind the fact that the providence of God is a continuous providence. As workers of Christ we must remember that history is only repeating itself. These organizations were opposed by men, the work was made to suffer and caused others to suffer as they are suffering today, but they cannot hinder the work. God's will is ceaselessly working, and will continue to work and it is up to each individual to play his part, and do his duty conscientiously. My heart has been warmed by the enthusiastic meeting that was held at St. Philip's church on Friday afternoon of December 5, 1913. Every man, and woman should feel inspired, and thank God that we have men and women that are realizing day by day the responsibility of helping where help is needed, and that it is not the question, what we ought to demand but what we can do; not what our rights, but how can we deserve them; not so much how to condemn prejudice, but how to remove the cause, and that if we would have the other race interested in our race and its needs, we must become interested. Just as soon as we begin to help our- selves to the utmost extent of our opportunities, the other race will become interested. For me, the most interesting part of the meeting was the women knew that they had been doing missionary work to the best of their knowledge and have realized for a long time that they had a greater work before them but did not know just what method would be best to use for alleviating conditions. They showed their willingness to work and do any thing for bettering conditions and asked earnestly to be told what to do. After the holidays these women who are willing to make sacrifices and to carry on the mission that Christ gave them will tell you of their plans, and will depend on you for support. Without it they can only do their part. In order for you to realize what is to be done, I gave you my experience, in the columns of this paper a few weeks ago, of one of the greatest problems before us which is "The Child Problem." In conclusion I appeal to you to top thinking of self for a while and reason with others that are interested in the least of God's children, remembering that every other nation yet fully tried has been rejected of God, not for what they were but for what they were not. Each one contributed something to mankind's betterment, but so far as they were concerned it all meant nothing. Greece gave to the world culture; Rome, law and order; the Hebrews, Revelation and the Saviour; the Anglo-saxon, science and civilization." It is left to some race to yet give that best obedience which God requires, viz., give supremacy to God in head and heart and to place our neighbors deep down in the citadel of our hearts and affections. Therefore I again appeal to the Urban League and its supporters to let the zeal of God and impartial love for our fellowmen of all races and conditions, friends and foes, be all absorbing passion of daily life. If we really love our race, if we would have it on the summit of the world's elevation, if you would have it without peer or parallel in the genealogy of the greatest nations, then let this love, both divine and human burn on the altar of your hearts; with such, God is most pleased. Seize the opportunity and save the race from degredation and irrevocable ruin. Yours for the betterment of our race. Among the Masons "He is a Mason, but not very high up," is an expression that always provokes a weary smile. It is exaspirating withal. If the profane would could only know that so far-as outsiders are concerned, all Masons are alike and none is high or low. He is the only proper designation. Masonic grades and distinctions apply only to the initiate and have no meaning to the profane.—Masonic Standard. In England physical defects or deformities are no bar to the admission of candidates whose moral character is sound. THE MORAL TWILIGHT The man who wins the genuine respect of his fellows is he who makes it plain in matters of principle, exactly where he stands. There is no odious, Pharisical insistence upon his superior virtue. He does not 'rub it in' that his motives are pure, his conduct above reproach. He is not overready to offer his unsolicited censure. But in any moral crisis he does not sit down to a selfish calculation of profits and losses; he takes his place quietly and promptly with those who are ranged upon on the side of right against wrong and the truth against a lie. "In the twilight zone is a large company of persons who are waiting to see what the issue of battle will be before they take sides. They are afraid to sign their names afraid to be seen and known, afraid to stand up and be counted. It is not merely of political affiliation that this is true. It is true in every controversial issue. It is to a man's credit if he takes thought before he decides, and acts in accordance with his deliberate judgment, but he deserves no praise if he declines to act through pusillanimons reluctance emerge from the shadow into the open day." For the sake of strengthening those good but timid souls who are afraid to express themselves lest they offend, and for the encouragement of those who feel the need of strong friends, we wish that Dr. Jefferson's sermon, and the Ledger's editorial might have wide publicity.—Fort Valley Uplift. JA Mason, as a rule, represents the very best type of citizenship. Courage and cheerfulness are our best assets in time of trouble. Defend the weak against the strong at all times and under all circumstances. To visit the sick and attend funerals are among the highest duties of Masons. Let us cheer our despondent brother In aiding him we will, also aid ourselves.—Selected. Masonry is, and ought to be, a peacemaker, not only among nations, but among individuals, and especially among its own membership. It is frequently the case that disagreements arise among Masons. These may and sometimes do lead to serious results. Differences between members of the same lodge should, when possible and practicable, be submitted to the Master. They could probably be adjusted by him, but, should he fail, then the matter should be taken before the lodge. In any event, a strong effort should be made to bring about an adjustment before resort is had to the courts. We have no doubt that in this way a large majority of disagreements among Masons could be settled out of court. Thus would Masonry be honored, peace and good will established between bret hren, and that harmony be secured which is "the strength of all well regulated institutions, especially this of ours."—Herald "It is more blessed to give than to receive" should be the sentiment of every true Mason. THE PURE IN HEART SEE GOD. By Bro. Albert Pike. The Masons believe that God has arranged this glorious but perpl exing world with a purpose, and on a glorious plan. He holds th at every man sent upon this ear rth, and especially every man of superior capacity, has a duty to perform, a mission to fulfill, a bap tism to be baptized with; that every great and good man possesses some portion of God's truth, which he must proclaim to the world, and which must bear fruit in his own bosom. In a true and simple sense, he believes all the pure, wise and intellectual to be inspired, and to be so for the instruction, advancement and elevation of mankind. That kind of inspiration, like God's omnipresence, is not limited to the few writers claimed by Jews, Christians or Moslems, but is co-extensive with the race. It is the consequence of a faithful use of our faculties. Each man is the subject, God is its source, and truth is its only test. It differs in degree, as the intellectual endowments, the moral wealth of the soul and the degree of cultivation of those endowments and faculties differ. It is limited to no sect, age, or nation. It is as wide as the world and as common as God. It was not given to a few men in the infancy of mankind, to monopolize inspiration and bar God out of the soul. We are not born in the dotage and decay of the world. The stars are as beautiful as in their prime; the most ancient heavens are fresh and strong. God is still everywhere in nature. Wherever a heart beats with love, wherever faith and reason utter their oracles, their is God, as formerly in the hearts of seers and prophets. No soil on earth is so holy as the good man's heart; nothing is so full of God. Certain as the open eye drinks in the light do the pure in heart see God; and he that lives truly feels Him as a presence within the soul. The conscience is the very voice of Deity. THE INFINITE The initiate, upon his entrance soon discovers, if indeed he is a man of sound body and mind, that Masonry deals with matters of vastly more importance to him than petty self-interest or aggrandizement. He is taught that a real purpose of admitting him was that he might be encouraged in first recognizing God in all; secondly, humanity as God's family, and finally himself as a servant to both of them. He discovers another fact; that Masonry far from being a playground, is a preparatory field for the real labors of life, and that if he would remain loyal to her precepts, he too must work.—William Henry Talmage. Quick Switch. Two men who went to a hunting camp together soon found that neither possessed any skill in cooking.

Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Ga., as Second-Class mail matter. Saturday, January 3. 1914. It has been reported, and we think with no small degree of truthfulness, that the Negro Business and Professional Men's Association, the organization which for the past two springs has held such successful field day sports, is contemplating organizing a base ball league among the public schools of the city and, if possible, interesting the various churches of the city in the organization of a similar league among themselves. If the Negro Business and Professional Men's Association succeeds in doing this they will be rendering the community a service which will be greatly appreciated not only by the youthful Negro athletes of the city, but the older ones of us as well. Our boys need to be encouraged to enter into wholesome athletics. They deserve to be given a chance to develop themselves more fully physically, and the Negro Business and Professional Men's Association will be doing a great service if they succeed in arranging for a series of Saturday afternoon and mid-week games among the schools during the spring, and in forming a church league for the summertime. Its being done elsewhere and it can be done here.

A man was on trial before a western judge for horse stealing, and when it came time for the lawyers on both sides to tell the judge what instructions they wanted him to give to the jury in addition to the points covered in his own charge the attorney for the defense said, "I respectfully ask your honor to instruct the jury that it is a fundamental principle of law in this country that it is better for ninety-nine guilty men to escape than for one innocent man to be found guilty." "Yes, that is true," said the judge, "and I so instruct the jury, but I will add that it is the opinion of the court that the ninety-nine guilty men have already escaped."—New York Tribune. A. Witty. B. Replx. A witty but not overindustrious Celt was one of a street gang. A few minutes before noon one day he threw his shovel into the gutter, sat down on the curbstone and proceeded to light his pipe. Just then the superintendent of streets came round a corner and, seeing Pat, roared out: "Here! What are you throwing down your shovel for at this time of day?" "To cool it, sorr," said Pat—London Telegraph. An Unreliable Doctor Mr. Seabury came from the office one night and told his wife he had been to see the doctor. "He said I was all tired out," said Seabury, "and he thinks I ought to go away on a fishing trip." "But, of course, you don't believe him," responded the wife. "Why not?" queried Seabury in surprise. "Well," said Mrs. Seabury, "you didn't have any confidence in him when he told me I ought to go to Europe."—New York Times. Mother Earth. When Junius Brutus and the sons of Tarquin asked the famous Delphic oracle who was to succeed Superbus on the throne of Rome they received for an answer. "He who shall first kiss his mother." As the two princes were hastening home to fulfill what they thought was meant Brutus fell to the earth and cried out, "Thus do I kiss thee, O earth, the mother of us all!" This is perhaps the earliest recorded instance of the use of the term "Mother Earth." SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson I.—First Quarter, For Jan. 4, 1914. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Mark ix, 30-37; x:13-16—Memory Verses, x:14-16, Golden Text, Mark x:14—Commentary by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The first part of our lesson is found also in Matt. xvill, 1-6; Luke ix, 46-45; and is in each place, as here, preceded by the record of the transfiguration, the casting out of the demon from the boy and the prediction of His death and resurrection; then the account of their dispute by the way as to which of them should be the greatest in the kingdom. Matthew says that they came to Him with the question. Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? but Jesus had perceived the thought of their heart before they asked Him (Matt. xvill, 1; Luke ix, 47). The sequence of events is not often the same in the gospels, but where it is the same, as in the case of these four or five different items, there must be a connected line of teaching. Here it seems to be something like this—three of the disciples were privileged to see a forcehadowing of the kingdom on the mount. At the foot of the mount the other disciples were baffled by the devil, and the enemies of Christ were having the laugh on them. When Jesus came He cast out the demon and rebuked their unbelief and spoke of the necessity of prayer and fasting; then He spoke of His approaching sufferings and death and resurrection, of which Moses and Elijah had talked with Him on the mount (Luke ix, 31), but they understood not what He meant, for they had other thoughts. They were not like little children who were helpless and dependent and believe what they are told. Had they not all wrought miracles, and had not three of them seen Moses and Elijah, and did they not know something of a kingdom foretold by the prophets, when all nations should be blessed by Israel. Had they not heard repeatedly that the kingdom was at hand, and, although He had not yet told them of a throne, a place of authority, for each of them (Matt. xix, 28; Luke xxll, 30), might they not reasonably expect, being such favored men as to be chosen by Him that they might be near to Him and constantly with Him, that they would be of some special importance in His kingdom? One might be higher than another, and might not the recently favored three be excused for thinking that they would have a preference? Possibly they said to the others, If we had been there we could have cast out that demon. How great the contrast between Him, who was thinking of His approaching sufferings and death, and these ambitious men who carried their strife up to His last night with them (Luke xxii, 24), and had no ears for the story of suffering and rejection. They were not like babes to whom things can be told, but more like the wise and prudent in their own estimation, who fancy that they know all things. He would doubtless have told them more than He did had they been able to bear it, but they were not humble, not teachable, not ready to receive Him as a Messiah, about to be cut off and have nothing at present—cut off because of our transgressions (Dan ix, 26, margin; Isa. lii, 8). 'What a specially blessed little child to be taken in His arms, but He will take you. He will take any one who will let him, any one who will come to Him, for "Him that cometh, He will in no wise cast out" (John vi, 37). The second incident of our lesson has a different setting. This also is found in Matt. xix. 13-15; Luke xviii. 15-17. Placing the three accounts together we read that little children were brought to Him that He might touch them, put His hands on them and pray. It is just possible that His taking that other little child of the first part of our lesson up in His arms may have led other parents to desire that He would do for their children what He had done for that child, and therefore they brought them. But these important men who were desirous to have prominent places in His kingdom would not have Him troubled with these little ones, evidently forgetting such words as these, "Your little ones which had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in." "Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings hast Thou ordained strength." "The streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls." The disciples rebuked those who brought the children, but Jesus rebuked the disciples and uttered those memorable words of our Golden Text, "Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God." Then he took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them and blessed them, and if you cannot see Him smiling upon them as He did so you must be as much out of sympathy with Him as were these disciples. The incident which follows in each of these gospels of the rich young ruler who went away sorrowful because his possessions were more to him than life eternal, sets forth the teaching concerning the little children. They were empty, dependent, humble, teachable, but the disciples were self sufficient, ambitious, inclined to strife, and the rich ruler was full of his earthly goods and unconsciously breaking the first commandment.

JOHNSON BROADCASTING RIGHTS AND DUTIES. Thou hast too much to say about thy rights and thinkest too little about thy duties. Thou hast but one inalienable right, and that is the sublime one of doing thy duty at all times, under all circumstances and in all places.—Frederic R. Marvin. A Sculptor's First Job. The story of Naoum Aronson's first commission reads like a romance, says a writer in World's Work concerning the Russian sculptor. He had gone short of food and worked incessantly in his scanty leisure so that he might send a bust to the salon, and it had been accepted. One morning, faint from want of proper nourishment, he turned giddy on the stairs, fell down the flight and knocked himself senseless, and there he was found unconscious by his first patron, a gentleman who had noticed his work in the salon and called to commission a bust. From that moment Aronson never looked back. Good Advice. Never forget the advice of Themis toctes. Said that ancient, "I would bestow my daughter upon a man without money, but not upon money without a man." Just change money for title and see the different reading: "I would bestow my daughter upon a man without title, but not upon title without a man."—New York Press. Modern Schooling. "Husband, you will have to go out in the woods this afternoon and catch a mud turtle." "The idea! Why should I catch a mud turtle?" "The teacher says Willie must have one for his natural history tomorrow. Don't you want to help the child with his lessons?"—Washington Herald. Mending Without Sewing. Here is a simple and efficacious way of mending a tear, three cornered or otherwise, in an article of clothing: Place the cloth flat on a table and smear a little white of a raw egg all around and over the tear on the reverse side. Now cut a piece of linen (a handkerchief will do) a little larger than the tear and place it over the rent so that it adheres to the white of egg. Then get a hot iron and simply press it, without ironing, over the linen. The linen will adhere firmly to the cloth and will not come off even if washed. The rent in the material will now be almost invisible on the outside, and the mending will last as long as the dress or suit—London Answers. Gossip In the Club. Only one thing is fatal to the happy social life of any country community, and that is gossip. If the women in their clubs cannot find in the wide field of housekeeping, chicken raising, preserving, care of children, public schools, music, art, reading, public improvements, good government, health, sewing, entertaining and all other delightful household tasks enough material to lift the meetings above petty personalities, then the little club or whatever it is called is doomed. Whenever gossip is allowed to creep into any organization people will begin to break up into little cliques or circles or groups, and the whole thing falls.-Hilda Richmond in Farm and Fireside. Tides of the Mind. Shakespeare tells us that there is a title in the affairs of men. Certainly there is a tide in the minds of men. We must be very unobservant of himself who does not know that the mind rises and falls, that it swells into fullness and strength and then fades into emptiness and weakness, we know not how, we know not why. Formerly the titles of the sea were also a great mystery. Slowly did observation disclose that they were under the influence of the moon and, still later, of the sun. So with the tides of the mind. We are taught now that they are caused and impressed by our faith and by our love. Bronchial Stick A grovesome walking stick was that used by the late Moberley Bell, so long manager of the London Times. It was a plain, stout stick, mounted with a tine from his own body. When a correspondent in Alexandria he was crossing a railway line and caught the hoof of his feet between the pelvis. A tibia was approaching, and by a desperate effort he wrenched himself free. But he so injured his ankle that an operation was necessary, and one of the joint bones had to be removed. This he had mounted as the handle of the walking stick which he used to construct the limp his accident left him.—London Tatler. LOOK TO THE FUTURE Never mind the past except to profit by its mistakes. The past is in many things the fee of mankind; the future is in all things our friend. For the past has no hope; the future is both hope and fruition. The past is the textbook of tyrants, the future the Bible of the free. Those who are solely governed by the past stand, like Let's wife, crystallized in the act of looking backward and forever incapable of looking forward.—Maryat.

A new year has begun with new hopes and new dreams but with dreary and cloudy weather. Per- haps many have already buried in oblivion the long day of the old year 1913.

The Right Ring In a recent sermon from the text. “Gird up your loins,” Dr. Charles E. Jefferson, of the Broadway Tabernacle, New York City, exhorted his hearers to‘have andato express opinions. Es- pecially did he urge the necessity for taking a stand on questions involving clear-cutissues of jus- tice and injustice. By way of example he took up and discuss- ed the question of mob violence and showed how, by silent ac- quiescence or by pleading extenu- ating circumstances, many men and women-in a way become par- ties to such crimes. A recent editorial in the Public Ledger, Philadelphia, is in such close accord with Dr. Jefferson’s sermon that we give it by wavy of emphesizing a truth about which we need to be often reminded: THE MOrAL TWILIGHT The man who wins the genuine respect of his fellows is ke who imakes it plain in matters of prin- ciple, exactly where he stands. aoe is no odious, Pharisaical in- sistence upon his superior virtue. He does not ‘rub it in’ that his motives are ‘pure, his conduct above reproach. He is not over- ready to offer his unsolicited§ cen- sure. Butin any moral crisis he does not sit down to a selfish calcu- lation of préfits and losses; he takes his place quietly and prompt- ly with those who are ranged up- on the side of right against wrong and the truth against a lie. “In the twilight zone is a large company of persons who are wait- ing to see what the issue of battle will be beforé they take sides. They areafraid to sign their names ‘afraid to beseen and known, afraid to stand up and be counted. It is not merely of political affiliation that thisis true. It istruein every centroyersial issue. It is to a man’s credit if he takes thought before he decides, and acts in, ac- cordance with his deliberate judg- ment, but he-deserves no praise if he declines to act through pusilla- bimons reluctance emerge from the shadow into the open day.” For the sake of strengthening those sood but timid souls who are afraid to express themselves lest they ofiend, and for the en- couragement of those who feel the need of strong ‘friends, we wish that Dr. Jefferson’s sermcen and the Ledger’s editorial might have wide publicity.—Fort Valley Up- lift, g Martinique.

Seeing the Time. On one oceaston, speaking of reminis- ences, Chauncey Depew said: “I remember in my boyhood in Peeks- kdl an orator who -worked the reminis- cence stop too persistently. “ve seen the time, dear friends,” the orator said, ‘when you couldn’t go into your pumpkin fleld without dan- ger of leaving your scalp behind. I’ve geen the time when tea was $5 a pound. I've seen the time when you had to carry yoursgun to church for Zanr of redsking.
