The coming meeting of the league is a yery important one and will, no doubt, be largely attended. The report of the executive committee will be made and many important recommendations will be presented to the body. While tne local league has only been in existence but a few months, being organized shortly after the visit to the city of Mr. Eugene Kinckle Jones, one of the associate directors of the National Urban League with headquarters in New York City, yet much good has been accomplished by it, the most notable being the Christmas fund for the Negro poor of the city, when over $500.00 wereraised and over 100 families assisted. ‘The league has among its mem- bership some of the leading Negre citizens of the city and it is des- tined to become an institution of inestimable good to the communi: ty. The meeting Monday is for all the people and itis very import ant, as the coming year’s work wil be laid before the body. Notice of the meeting will bo given be fore all of the churches tomorrov and it is hoped that the minister. will urge upon their congrega tions tolend encouragement to th work of the league by attendin; this meeting.

Hosmer Busi+ mess Manager | Tuskecee. Ala. Jan. 17.— cultural luborers of the United States are to have a paperdevoted to their interests and to those of all other persons interested in this class of workers. The new periodical will be call- ed ‘The Negro Farmer,” and will bé published in the village of Greenwood, near the ‘luskegee Institute. So far as known, it will be the first paper exclusively devoted to the interests of that large number of persons of the Negro race who till the soil. A corporation has been organiz- ed to publish the following paper. ‘The board of directors and offi- cers are as follows: Booker T- Washington, presi- dent. Emmet J. Seott, vice-presi- Charles H: Gibson, secretary. Warren Logan, treasurer. Robert R. Taylor. Application for the charter will be made at once; and it is planned to begin publishing the paper early in February- The board of directors have decided to employ the well known writer on economic questions— Mr. Isaac Fisher as Editor, and Mr. C. B, Hosmer as Business Manager—both Tuskegee gradu- ates. _, Mr. Fisher is the Tuskegee gra- duate who holds the distinction of having won more prizes in national essay contests than any other member of the race; indeed it is doubtful whether any other writer of any race has taken so many first prizes on different liter- ary subjects in the contests with ibe best brain of the nation, as has been true of this first editor of the first agricultural journal ever published wholly in the in- terest of Negro farmers. Mr. Fisher brings to the work, therefore,(1) a trained and logical mind; (2) broad experience in the gettingat the truth and root of the question; (3) the reputation of knowing what he is talking about; (4) unusual ability, both as writer and speaker, to represent; spenk toand for; and encourage with the dignity which their profession demands, the great body of color- ed people who till the soil. He will focus all his powers of re- search and analysis upon those questions which have to do with the conditions and needs of Ne- gro farmers. ‘The Business Manager, Mr. Hosmer, took the agricultural course at Taskegee Institute; and antil the acceptance of his new work with the ‘‘Negro Farmer,” [way one of the financial secreta ries of Tuskegee in the North and, likewise, comes to his duties well equipped ‘fhe time is ripe and it is fitting that such a publication as the Ne. gro Farmer be launched. An ap. peal to the records will justify these statements: According t¢ the census of 1900, 58 per cent of all Negroes in the United State: were engaged in agricultural pur suits, leaving but 42 per cent o: the colored people in all othe occupations, Tobe more exact the proportions of the colorec people in each of the five grea groups of occupations were a: follows. In Agricultural, 58.3 per cent In the Professions, *1.2' pe! cent. In Domestic ard Personal Ser vice, 23 8 percent. In Trade and Transportation 4.7 percent. | _ In Madufacturing and Mechani ‘cal Pursuits. 9 percent . | A little reflection will show tha the major part of all the news papers and periodicals of the rac are devoted (1) to the ; eneral_ in | terests of all the groups jus ‘named, and (2) to the special ix |terests of the professional clas ‘|which represented but 1-2 pe Capt. W. D- Armstrong Passes Away After an illness of about four years, Capt. W. D. Armstrong, one of the most widely known Ne- groes of the eity, passed away Sat- urday morning early at his late residence, 519 Bolton street, west, Capt. Armstrong was for many years one of the leading Nezro politicians of the district, for two years chairman of the Repub- jician County Committee The de- ceased held‘a pilot’s license and ‘was wellknownallalong the Sav- annah river, He was up to a few years ago on the custodian force of the post office. He was the leading Odd Fellow of the city, holding the po- sition of Deputy of the twelfth division, and a member of Armen- ia Lodge; he was also among the firstmenbers of Olympia Lodge, K, of P., later connecting himself with J. W. Armstrong Lodye K. ot P. He wasa member of Eureka Lodge, Masons and Solomon Temple, Eastern, Star, all of which attended the funera] in a body from St. Phillip Church, Charles and West Broad streets. Tuesday morning. The faeneral services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. R. H. Singleton. Those who took part in_ the ser- vices were: Dr. A.D. Jones, of Atlanta,Rev.J.H.Este, Mrs. Rosa Stevens, and Mr. Ed. H. Burke. A large crowd was in attendance both at.church and cemetery. The floral designs were many and beautiful. Capt. Armstrong was born in Owens Ferry,Ga. in 1861, and lived the greater portion of his life in this city. He is sur- yived by a wife, Mrs. F. D. Arm- strong; a sister, Mrs, Anna Ham- monds and two brothers. the largest of all—has been almost entirely neglected by the periodi- cal press. Negro farmers are be- ginping to read agricultural papers, and these farmers num- bered 893,384 in 1910, not includ. ing the ordinary agricultural Ia- borers. But there has been no publication that exactly suited the needs of this class of the pop- ulation. The “‘Negro Farmer” will sup- ply this need, for while, dealing with the broad problem$ which concern all races, it will conduct & continuous inquiry into the proUlemns which specially con- front and are peculiar to Negro farmers; will seek to suggest remedies for existing evils; and will seek in every way to help elevate agriculture among Ne. groes to the dignity of 2 profes- sion to the end that those of the race who till the soil may come- into possession of some of that prosperity, comfort and happiness which belongs to all people. The paper will ‘seek to bring about closer co-operations be- tween the white landowners and the colored people who rent their land. It proposes to neglect no one of the agencies that ministers to the well being of the farmer, his wife and their children: but it will strive to give publicity to the rea}, big and fundamental results obtained by colored farmers, and will interpret for these pioneers of progress and prosperity the agricultural happenings of the world. The movement argues well and js of more than passing interest tc every section of the country where colored farmers live and tc the South in particular; and ix view of the fact that ‘he number of Negro farmers has steadily in- creased since 1890, it may not: be too much to expect that thes« colored farmers, gradually learn ing to increase the production o: their farms, will yet play ce small part in helping to reduc the high cost of living. In so far, therefore as this re sult is highly probable, the Ne gro farmers are of economic in terests to the nation at large; an a paper to help lead and indicat intelligent action in those prob lems which puzzle and vex th colored farmer is, if not the on | uhing needful, certainly one o | the important needs. Col. A. B. Singfield came up from Savannah last week to be present at the annual meeting of the Pilgrim tn. surance Company. His many friends in his old home were glad to ‘see him. Col. Singfield has taken a leading place in insurance and business affairs at 62- vannah, and his many friends here are glad to know of his success.—Georgia Baptist.

It was through the liberal dona- tion of $12000.00 by Mr. Andrew Carnegie that the library was made possible. This amount is to be expended for the erection of the building, \ ‘The library will be situated on the south side of Henry street, opposite Dixon Park. The land on which the building is to be erected was purchased by sub- scriptions among the Negroes and kindly disposed whites of the city, The curators of the library havo already purchased 45 feet of land, which is in the center of three lots, and are hoping to secure $1500.00 more with which to buy the additional 45 feet, upon which they have an option. ‘The placing of the buidingin the center of the 90 feet of land will allow the library a very adyanta- geous position both from the stand point of light and beauty.

If a big reception.or dinner is given on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the ‘wedding the invitations should be en graved. Sometimes a folded sheet of heavy unglazed paper similar toa wed- ding {nvitation 1s used and sometimes the invitations are like those used for an evening reception or “At Home.” The wording should be engraved in sil- ver and usually runs as follows; 1883. 11 ‘Mr. and Mrs. Charles Stanton Brown request the pleasure of your company at the twenty-fifth anniversary of thelr wedding (or silver wedding, as one pre fers) Tuesday evening, June nineteenth, at eight o'clock, fifteen hundred and two North Broadway. RSVP House Decérations, A Very pretty idea is to decorate the house with white flowers, thus recalt- ing the original bridal day, but it ts, ef course, perfectly permissible to use ait sorts of colored blossoms, and many people prefer this as looking gayer and more festive. The hostess, who was the bride of .twenty-five years ago, should, if it becomes her, be gowned in white. She fs assisted in receiving by ber husband, who stands beside her, and who fs, of course, in evening dress and wears a white flower, a tiny rosebud or a single white carnation or gardenia in his tttouhole. The grown daughters of the family, whether they are married or single, assist their mother in receiving, while the sons and sons-in-law circulate among the guests and do what they can to make them have a good time. ‘The refreshments can either be serv: ed at small tables with an especial table for as many of the original wed- ing party as can be gathered togetb- er after the lapse of years, or they can be served “en Huffet,” as It is called— that is, passed around to each guest by the waiters assisted by tbe male members of the family with the single exception of the host ‘of the occasion, and such intimate men friends of theirs as may be pressed into service. “En buffet” means “from the sideboard,” but in most cases such refreshments are really serves from the large din- fog table and direct from the kitch- en, And this, at a silver wedding. gives occasion for very effective deco- rations. we Appropriate Presents. ‘The question of bringing presents on a wedding nuniversary is a vexed one, and many people hesitate to accept an invitation of this sort, fearing that they will be expected to give an expen- sive piece of silver.

Less than a year ago the Southern Pacifie employee who hag charge of the pumping statfon at Roseville, Cal, 107 milea from San Francisco, got x handful of seed from 2 catlond of cotton that ‘was side }tracked at, the point mentioned en route north from the Imperial valley. He sowed the seed In a garden spot near the station and was surprised to note how thriftily it grew. The bolls Popped open, and the branches of tho plant bent under the welght of the ripe cotton, Neighboring ranchers and oth- ers beard of his success in growing the cotton and bave contracted for sced, with the idea of extending the, experi- ment. ‘This Is Mkely to prove an Inter- esting phase of the development of the cotton growing Industry of the Golden State, whose output of cotton. chiefly from the Imperial valley, has inereased from 100 bales in 1909 to 160,000 bales the past season. SOME INTERESTING COMPARI- SONS. That largest crop yields do uot al- ways net the grower the most money 1s shown very emphatically in a com- parison of some of the staple crops of 1912 and 1913. In the case o7 the corn crop the total yleld for 1913 is 22 per cent below that of the year previous, yet the growers will receive G per cent more for it, and this amounts to $100,- 000,000. In the ease «potatoes, the past senson’s crop is alPxt 10 per cent below what it was fn 1912, yet. ft will net the growers $10,000,000 more than did the preceding year’s crop. Cotton furnishes an even more striking im stance of the truth mentioned. Al- though the yleld of the past years crop 4s put at nearly a million bales leas than that of 1912, a decrease of 5 per eent, the growers will receive for it, at ¥4 cents per pound, 22 per cent more than they did for the 1912 crop. This amounts to a cash Increase of $125,- 000,000. CIDER SIRUP. An experiment is being made at Hood River, Ore. this winter that will be watehed with much interest by ap- ple growers everywhere who have the call apple problem on thelr hands. In the experiment in question the sweet elder as it is extracted from the ap- ples is evaporated until the residue is of about the consistency of thin sirup. ‘This is canned and 1s sald to keep for an Indefinite time. On being diluted ‘with water it Is said to be in every re- spect equal to the original cider from which the sirup was secured. This matter of keeping cider sweet without presorvatives has been 4 knotty prob- lomi—in fact, it hasn't been solved—and if the method referred to proves as sat- isfactory as the clalms made for It ap- ple growers of the country «will have grounds for feeling elated. ‘ORCHARD CARE.

In trophies and cash these two barrels of apples have netted their owner $368. The fruit shown was from trees twenty-five yeafs old that were set out by the owner when he was a lad in high school. About the only observation that. need now be made concerning these prize winning apples fs that the orchard that pro- duced them was not run as an Inciden- tal, side issue, calf pasture proposition SKIMMILK FOR POULTRY. * A contributor to in agricultural pa- per tells of an experiment he made in the feeding of skimmilk to poultry that proves its valne in a very definite way.

That the well-meaning and thoughtful white people of our community are in sympathy with every movement put forth by our people for their moral and econ- omic uplift, is attested every now and then when an occasion which gives opportunity for in- ter-racial co-operation comes about. This is as it should be and is @ condition or state of af- fairs worthy of the highest com- mendation. For any community to make progress, there must be co-operative effurt on the part of its inbibitants. Any general movement put forth for the good of a community, it matters not by what race, nationality or indi- vidual, if itis for ‘the common weal; ought to receive the un- divided support of every bona fide citizen of that community. For cimany years, our city, Savannah has enjoyed the distinction of be- ing a city in which there is very little if any friction between the races. As time goes onand as our commercial interests increase, this reputation seems to justify itself more and more, We as a people are indeed proud of this condition of affairs and are de- termined todo allin our power through increased efliciency and otherwise to make ourselves a more constructive force of the community in which racial rela- tious tend to such pleasantness and helpfulness. Our advice to our people ‘at this time is that each one of them must feel it his duty to do his fullshare in mak- ing our city alarger and better city aud in strengthening the frieridly feelings of white friends toward us. We must feel that we area partof Savannah, that every movement put forward in its behalf affects us just as it does aay other part of its citizenry. Hence, itis our bounden duty to lend # helping hand, however weak, toany movement inaugu- rated for the commoa good. In so doing, we shall, in a large measure, show our worth, and at the same time merit the help and co-operation ot our white friends which hus come to us from time] to time. We as a people, do herish the present relations of he races and sincerely trust. that she same may continue for the yood of all concerned. ‘Lhe information that beginning February Ist, of this year, there will issue from the press of ‘Tus- keyee Institute a bi-monthly farm journal devoted exclusively to the interests of Negro farmers througout the country, is indeed both illuminating and interesting and at the sume time gives a tiue ring to the unselfish motives which impel the great head of Tuskegee and those immediately associated with him to serve the people ina way that will do the must good to the most of them Tnat agerculture is the founda- tional industry of our couatry, there can be no doubt. The peo- ple of our country both white and black are beginning to realize this more and more as time passes. However it 1s true that owing to a Jack of information on the part of those engaged in farming anent the best agricultural methods to be employed on farms, this great industry ts conducted on a much less intensive scale than it should be. his is true despite the fact that our National aud State governments have spent millions of dollars within the past few yeirs maintaining a department of agriculture and establishing ex- perimeit stations, agricultural schools and other agricultural rgencies throughout the country. ‘Yue great thinkers of our coun- try are Fast realizing that we as a ptople ure not living up to the agricultural opportunities of our country owing toa lack of infor- mation concerning the same.+ As: ‘a result, much losislation of ‘an agricultural nature is being agi- tated. ‘Lhe Smith Lever agricul- tural exters on bill, providing for federal aid in the dissemination, of scientific farm information | which has just beea passed by the House and which is most likely to passthe Senate givesa good line on the thoughts of our law makers along agricultural lines. Our people, many of them, live on farms, Many of them sre en- geged in agricultural pursuits. Some as land owners, others as tenants and still othersas farm hands till the soileach day. In order to become progressive and efficient farmers they need educa- tion. They need toknow more about the soil and how to improve it. They need to know more about the seed selection and the like. Much, if not all of the in- formation now available on these subjects passes, as it were, over their heads. They do not get this intormation. However, they need this advanced agricultural information, if not moro than their white fellow farmers, at lenst as mucn. In establishing a semi-monthly agricultural jour- nal, it is believed that many of our farmers who through ignor- ance or otherwise, have failed to profit by the expenditure of our government of vast sums of money for agricultural advance- ment will be reached and helped accordingly. Hence, the Wizard of Tuskegee, while he does not allow himself ror the school of which he is the head, to lay claim to the authorship or promotion of this great and timely under- taking, knowing as he does that! such a procedure would give lit- tle, destructive minds points of vantags from which to attack the new movement. atthe same, is giving this new movement his moral and, we believe, his financi- alsupport. Our new agricultural journal, devoted to the needs and improvement of Negro farm own- ers, tenants and farm hands, ought to enjoy along and useful life. We have good reasons to believe that it will, tor with such men behind it asthere are, coupl- -d with importat ce and thetimeli- ness of the’ cause which it will serve there can be nv question of ts ultimate triumph as an agency »f uplift for our people. ee a ae aT ee ee | ‘The Evangelical Ministers Union met at Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church Tuesday, with Rey.

In the national egg laying contest recently brought to a close at Moun. tain Grove, Mo., the first prize for best individual record was made by a rose comb White Leghorn pullet raised at Maryville, Mo., her output of eggs for the year being 260.

By 1570 tur- key had becomé the accepted Christ- mas dish of the English farm, and a half dozen years later was introduced ‘nto France. ° ‘The farmers in Grant county, Wis. have inaugurated a plan for the co- operative grinding of limestone that might well be followed in other sec- tions of the country where lime Is needed for the sweetening of sour soils. ‘The wark-is being done under the direction of the State Agricul- tural college. A small portable outfit, consisting of engine and crusher, is belng used, which can be readily trans- Ported from one neighborhood to an- other. Large deposits of limestone beneath the surface soil make the un- dertaking a relatively simple one. It is not generally known that, when properly cooked, the sugar beet makes a palatable article of food for the ta- ble. It contains from 15 to 17 per cent“of sugar, while the common red garden bect contains but from 10 to 12 per cent of sugar. Some one who has tried them suggests the following methods for cooking: Wash the beets, but do not remove the skin, leaving a portion of the top on so as to retain the Juices. Cook in boiling water un- til tender; then peel and quarter or cut into slices. Make a suce of melt- ed butter, pepper and salt, pour over Deets and scrve hot. In 2 certain county in Kansas they have been Improving some of the main roads. and a farmer- who uses one of these improved highways in hauling his produce to market has figured out that he saves enotgh in one day’s bauling to pay bis share of the inereased road tax. Before the road was {improved he used to haul one load of fifty bushels of grain a day. Since the road has been im- proved he has been able to han! two loads of seventy-five bushels each. This would svem to be,a simple yet Torceful objert lesson, ‘showing the value of better Country highways. It is safe to assume that potato growers of the country will very gen- erally support the action of the fed- eral horticultural board in placing an embargo on potatoes from Canada and those Laropean conntries where the black wart and powdery scab have at- tacked the potato erop.+ ‘There would be sthall «wirantage coming to the ¢on~ «nmer if, to relieve somewhat the high prices for potatoes prevailing for the present winter. diseased forcizn inters were admitted only In the end to contuinfuate American fields and re. strict Ina large measnre the outuut of marketable potatoes, resulting In # permaaent adrance tn prices -80ME FOOD VALUES. ‘One exhibit at the national! dairy show held some weeks go in Chicago was botb unique and interesting: It wes artangod by the Mik Producers’ Association of Northern Iilinols and consisted of un exhibit of a dozen dif- ferent kinds of foods, including milk, egss, beef, fish, nuts and several kinds of fruits and vegetables, the amount of each article shown being that which was required to furnish the amount of nutriment contained in one quart of infil, the cost vf the several articles being based upon current re- tail prices. ‘The exhibit was {llomi- uating and instructive und doubtless had suggestions for those beads of families who are a bit perplesed with the high cost of lving problem. The cost of the twelve articles shown is given in the following decimal frac- tions, of a dollar: Milk, .08; eggs, .29; beef, .148; codfish, .141; cornmeal, -009; potatoes, .036; cabbage, .10; or- anges, .226; apples, .002: bananas, .10; prunes, .0G1Y nuts. 163. From these figures it will be seen at a glance that far and away the cheapest food artt- cle of the lst is~cornmeal, which costs but one-third as much as pots- toes, while the latter food costs but one-third as much as milk. Milk, on the other hand. at 8 cents a quart. costs less than a third as much as eggs at 35 cents per dozen. Cabbage and bananas cost the same, prunes about two-thirds as much as these, while meat and fish cost about the same and nuts a trifle more. Eggs were the most expensive food shown, and oranges rank next to them. A SERIOUS PEST. For a zood many years the onfon was considered practically pest free. ‘bot within wecent years what Is mown as the enion smut has spread to many sections of the country, at its worst being se serious a handicap as to render the culture of the vege- table unprofitable. A serious feature of this pest fs that the spores of the fongus are not eradicated from the soil by crop rotations covering a period of five years. The disease is spread by the tools with which an infected field is worked more than by the seed. Large growers in come sections have found effective a solution made by di- Jnting 40 per cent formalin in thirty galloris of water and applying with 2 drip attachment on a seed drill at the rate of from 500 to 700 zallons of the solution per acre. MORE EGG LAYING CONTESTS. ‘Within the past three or four weeks new egg laying contests to ron a year have been started at both Storrs col- lege, Connecticut, and at Mountain Grove, Mo. The remarkable interest that has been aroused among poultry regeers everywhere in these contests Is silown in the fact that in the contest which is being conducted in Missouri there are entered six pens of layers from New Zcaland, three from Austra Ula, two from Canada, three from Eng- long, one ench from Germany and South Africa, two from Vancouver and sixty-six pens from the United States. The world's record for egs Production is held by a pen of six Australian birds that averaged 2648 eggs each during a year. Pic PROGRESS. With 2 view to increasing the inter- ést.of Oregon farmers in growing hogs, the Portland Union stock yards has agreed to furnish 2 young pig to ev- ery school in the state that will take care of one. The gift is made on the condition that some puplt in each school shall keep an accurate record of what the pig. eats and how it is cared for. The company further agrees to buy the pig back when it is ready to market and pay full price for it An Oregon paper, in speaking of the plan, remarks that in ten years it will not be surprising if every country school in the state is not only supplied with pigs, but with a fock of poultry and one or more dairy cows. The idea would seem to be a capital one. BREAK UP THE SUBSOIL. While theoretically a farmer gets erything in the alr above his lan in the earth beneath, he seldom actu: ly uses more than six inches of the surface soil. The productive period of many a farm could be extended were deeper plowing to be resorted to on such farms and upon those where the soll 1s plowed more shallow still. Deep plowing would not only break up and mellow the, subsoil and thus make available its fertility, but would in- crease the capacity of the soll to re- tain moisture during a protracted dry spell. Many 2 farmer appreciates the facts stated and by deep plowing has increased his farm valwe by a half without adding to the number of his acres. CARE OF THE LAWNS. We usuully think of care of the lawn as extendinz over the peried between the first and Inst cuttings of the sea- son. The average lawn, where the grass is clipped and removed, needs care besides this that {s all too seldom given. This consists in giving it at in- tervals of not more than tro or three Years a xenerous top dressing of well rotted manure. This should be applied after the sround Is ‘frozen solid and should be allowed. to remain until spring. when the coarsest of 1t may be raked off. ‘The fertilizing elements will have leached into the soll, and the finer particles of msrytre will have settled down into the roots of the grass, INSUBANCE GEOG A- PHY When is a mau inost confused?

Lesson We-Firet Cnarter, For Jan. 25, 1914. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Luke viii, 1-3; %, 38-42—Memory Verses, Luke x, 40- 42—Golden Text, Matt. xxv, 40—Com- mentary by Rev. D. M. Stearns. | The title of this lesson, ““Sinistering to Jesus.” is a fascinating one and fs found in chapter vill, 3, concerning the women who ministered unto Mim of their substance. Angels delighted to minister unto Him when He was here in humilfation, as they did in the wilderness after His conflict with the devil (Matt. Iv, 11); also at Tis birth and {n Gethsemane and at His resur “yeetion and no doubt always, according to Fs. cil, 20, 21, wheregse rend of them as ministers of His that do His pleasure, hearkening unto the voice of His word. | What an honor unspeakable for us, who are saved sinners, to minister in any way unto Him who made us. who came from heaven to redeem us. who died for our sins, who as the risen Christ lives for us at God's right hand and will share His kingdom and glory with us. He was always showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God (vill, 1) und giving samples of life in the kingdom by bealing all manner of disease (Matt. ty, 23). for when the kingdom comes “the inhabitant shal! not say, I am sick, and the people that well therein shall be forgiven their iniquity” (Isa, xxxiil, 24), Forgiveness of sins is the first step toward the kingdom, as we learn from: Lake xxiv, 40, 47; Acts xill, 38, 39, and that this is the privilege of all who re- ceive Him is plainly set forth in Eph J, 6, 7; Col. 1, 12-14; Rev. 1, 5, 6. We must not think of the church as the kdngdom nor Christ in us nor aught but that spoken of by our Lord when He taught us to pray, “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth” (Luke xf, 2), It wil! begin with Israel, who shall be all righteous, and all of them shall know Him from the least of them unto the greatest of them. Jerusalem shall be the throne of the Lord, and all the nations shall be gath- ered unto !t to the name of the Lord. for it shall be the frst city of truth on earth (Isa. Ix, 21; Jer. xxxi. 34; ilk; 17; Zech. vill. 3, 7, 8, 22, 23). While we walt for the kingdom and live to has- ten it (not extend It, for we cannot ex- tend that which has not yet berun? we may dally minister unto Him in all that we do. These women were true believers, and all bellevers are kings and priests unto God (Rev. 1, 5, 6). ‘We are reminded of a sentence con- cerning the priests in Israel, “That be may minister unto me in the priest's office” (Ex. xxvill, 1, 3, 4, and else- where), these ten words being the translation of two little words fn He- brew. ‘The words “unto Him” in yerse’3 of | this pat of our lesson suggest muny | most helpful words for our daily life, such as\"Unto Him that loved us,” “Unto Him that is able,” “Unto Him be glory.” “Unto Him who died for us and rose again” (Rev. 1, 5; Epb. ili, 20, 21; II Cor. v. 15). As to the women ministering, note Paul's reference to the wo:en who fabored with him In the gospel (Phil. iv, 3); that the gospel Was first preached in Europe at 2 Wo- man's prayer meeting. und the Grst convert sevms to have been Lydia, who received the apostles into her house and took care of them (Acts xvi, 13-15). , Note also the revised version of Ps Ixvill, 11. Whatever He may give us the privi- lege of doing, He only expects us to do as IIe gives the ability. and our alm; must be that God in all things may be | glorified throuch Jesus Christ (I Pet iv, 11). However much we may vel able to do, we should always say ax David did. “All things come of thee. | and of thine own have we given thee"! (I CRron, xxix, 14), | In the second part of our lesson we | have a home scéne, that blessed and honored home in Bethany, and the twc sisters ministering. each in a some- what different way. Mary could not have been idle or neglectful, else the Lord would not have commended her. | [ have no doubt but that she did all shat Was necessary, evidently all that | the Lord thought necessary, and then she found time to sit at Jesus’ feet and hear Ifis word. Martha wanted more than either her sister or the Lord thought needful and was a bit put out with Mary for not thinking as ° she did. * Happy ure thyse housekeepers who | would rather “please the Lord than! their visitors and who always count | apon the Lord as one of the guests. , The South Atlantle Sarber shop Headquarters for barber supplies azd shoe polish.
