The Business Leauge Mass Meeting Business Leauge Mass Meeting NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT AT NEW ST. PHILIP CHURCH WEST BROAD ST Meeting to Boost Negro Business Enterprises—Interesting Program Arranged—Large Crowd Expected Out—What The League has Accomplished On next Friday night, February 20th, the local branch of the National Negro Business League will hold a mass meeting in the interest of local business enterprises among our people. The meeting will be held at the new St. Philip A. M. E. church, Charles and West Broad streets, and will begin at eight o'clock sharp. It will be the league's first public meeting and it is planned as a booster for the Negro business men of the city. An interesting program has been arranged for the evening and it is expected that a large crowd will be in attendance. There will be four addresses delivered, all of which will be confined to ten minutes, and special music has been arranged for the occasion. Admission to the meeting will be free and there will be no offering taken. As a souvenir, the league will distribute folders telling of the various lines of businesses represented by the members. Aside from this, many of the members of this league will give away calendars, cards pencils and other souvenirs advertising their individual business enterprises. The local Negro Business League is now about a year old, having been organized in April of last year. It now has a membership of seventy five and among its members are some of the most representative and substantial citizens in Savannah. The league has accomplished much good for the community. It brought the famous Tuskegee Institute band to this city last August; joined with the other organizations of the city and country in protesting against race segregation in Washington, has caused increase patronage to local Negro enterprises and has made the local Negro business men see the almost limitless benefits to be derived by them by sticking together and putting their business properly before the public. The program for Friday night is as follows: Music, St. Philip's Choir. Invocation, Rev. J. L. Taylor. D.D. D. D. Music, St. Philip's Choir. Address "The Sign of the Time" Mr. F. W. Sherman. Mr. E. W. Sherman Address, "The Need of Race Loyalty Among Our Women." Miss Bessie E. Foster. Vocal Solo, "We Have Fought Every Nation's Battle But Our Own." Mrs. Rosa E.

VOLUME XXIX Peter Ogden Celebration Heart Party and Kitchen Shower given for Miss Price In honor of Miss Rachel Dolores Price, Mrs. Robert Alston McNichols, Jr., of 222 East Park Avenue, entertained Tuesday evening with a heart party and kitchen shower. The rooms were lavishly decorated, white and red was the color scheme, while cupid and hearts were abounding on all sides. Four large hearts were dropped from the chandeliers, on the first in golden figures was the year 1914, on the second February 18th, on the third R. D. P. to D. J. S., and on the fourth "Scott." On the back of the chair Miss Price occupied was represented two hearts that beat as one. Small hearts were used on the score cards. One of the features of the decoration was the punch table, the bowl being surrounded by red ribbon in the shape of a heart, while little cupids, hearts and arrows were arrayed and worked in with artistic skill. Mrs. McNichols was assisted by Mesdames L. M. Campfield, P. E. Perry, Miss Susie Scott, and Eureka Jackson. Mesdames H. Pearson and G. H. Bowen kept score. Punch was served by Misses Susie Scott and Henrietta Houstoun. Prizes were awarded as follows: Guest of honor, Miss Price, shadow lace, corset cover, done up in pink; first prize, Mrs. J. G. Lemon, shadow lace, corset cover, done up in blue; second prize, Mrs. J. L. Jackson, vanity bag. Consolation prize, Mrs. H. M. Reid, coster set; second consolation; Mrs. Leila Brooks of Columbia, S. C., red satin heart-shaped box, hand painted on top, filled with candy; booby, Miss Helen M. Ellis, a red satin, heart-shaped box, filled with candy. The kitchen shower was a surprise to the guest of honor, who was blindfolded and had an umbrella over her while all the gifts were placed around her. Many useful presents were received, quite a few sent gifts, who were unable to attend. Among those present were: Misses Dolores Price, Edna Price, Susie Scott, Annie Scott, Inez Belcher, Florence Erwin, Geneva Stiles, Henrietta Houstoun, Helen Ellis, Eureka Jackson and Maud Spencer. Mesdames F. F. Jones, G. S. Williams, I. M. Campfield, L. G. Middleton, J. L. Jackson; J. W. Jamerson, Albert Jackson, J. G. Lemon, P. E. Perry, R. E. Scott, H. M. Reid, J. R. Davis, A. P.

Guaranty's Annual Meeting The policy holders of the Guaranty Mutual Life and Health Insurance Company met last Tuesday night. The annual report shows that the company did an excellent business during the year and that it is in a prosperous condition. The directors elected were W. S. Scott, L. M. Pollard, W. R. Fields, P. E. Perry, W. Smith and E. W. Sherman. Mr. W. S. Scott is president and manager, and Mr. L. M. Pollard, secretary and treasurer. Gretest Short Stories Ever Written Twenty-four English and American novelists were asked to nominate the stories that each considered the "best" in the language. They selected forty-five stories of the very first rank, and these stories are to be published from week to week in the 24-Page illustrated Magazine of the New York Sunday World. The second famous story of this remarkable series, "A Municipal Report" by O. Henry, will appear in the Magazine of next Sunday World. This and all the stories to follow should be read and kept in portfolio form in every home. No such collection of masterpieces of fiction was ever before presented by any newspaper. Be sure and order the Sunday World from your news dealer in advance. Mrs. Nancy Prince will leave tod ay for Augusta where she will remain two weeks visiting her brother and other relatives. Savannah SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1914 Lincoln Memorial Exercises To-morrow AT FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH Prof. J. G. Lemon to Deliver Address—Beach Institute and First Congregational Sunday School to take Part—Robt. G. Shaw Post Paraded Thursday On to-morrow night at eight o'clock the Lincoln memorial exercises will be held at the First Congregational church, Habersham and Taylor streets. The service will be of unusual interest and most likely a very large crowd will be in attendance. An attractive program has been arranged for the evening and the exercises bid fair to eclipse that of last year, which so pleasingly entertained the large crowd that was out to witness them. As last year, the greater part of the program will be rendered by the students of Beach Institute and the pupils of the Sunday school. The principal address will be delivered by Prof. James G. Lemon, professor of mathematics of the Georgia State Industrial College. The subject of Prof. Lemon's address will be "Abraham Lincoln." Hymn, "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." Responsive Reading Song, "Flag of the Free," chorus, Beach Institute. "Lincoln's Gettysburg Address," Master Tracy Parks. Song, "Forward Christian Children," Beach Institute.

Parks, vice-president; T. A. Milledge, secretary; M. B. Bramham, treasurer. St. James Church Sunday was a high at St. James A. M. E. Church, beginning with sunrise prayer meeting. At 11 a. m., Rev. Lash, of North Carolina, preached a very interesting sermon. At 8:30 p. m., Rev. P. F. Curry filled the pulpit and preached from the subject, "Light and Darkness." The fair given was a success and a good sum was realized. The country wedding on the 29th, ult., under the management of Mrs. H. B. Sales was pulled off to a crowded house.

Sam, Leader, is Said to Have Formed Twenty-three Clubs—Investigation Being Made Thousands of Negroes in this city were on tiptoe last night over the expected arrival of Chief Alfred C. Sam of the Gold Coast, West Africa, who has been organizing a plan to colonize that country with American Negroes, says the New York World. Chief Sam is said to have formed one hundred and twenty-three clubs among Negroes of Oklahoma, Texas and Mississippi. It is claimed he has bought, through his Akim Trading Company, Limited, of No. 271 West One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street, the steamer Curityba, from the Munson line, to ply between Galveston and the Gold Coast, carrying Negroes who want to follow this new Moses into the Promised Land of their ancestors. Twenty-five couples, farmers and cattlemen and their wives, arrived several days ago from Oklahoma, lived at the Wilson House, No. 2148 Fifth avenue, but yesterday got tired of waiting for Chief Sam, went to Erie Basin, where the steamer is tied up and took possession of their quarters. LAND OF PLENTY, SAYS PROSPECTUS F. C. Holmes of the Wilson House said last night that he was sure Chief Sam, who appeared to be a very worthy man, hadn't arrived yet. He added that eighty- six Negroes were expected from Boston and more from Galveston and the West. The "African Pioneer" of Welleetka, Okla., said, in an article: "Ashantee, to which you are invited, lies on the northern coast of the Gulf of Guinea, West Africa. The southern coast is called the Gold Coast. Ashantee is divided into many tribes, one of which is the Akim tribe, over which our own dear Chief Sam presides. It then described a 120 mile trip by train to "the chief seat of government." In Oklahoma many families have sold their little holdings preparatory to joining the exodus, it is said 1,500 persons in all. The "Pioneer" describes mahogany trees ten feet in diameter, cocoa beans that sell for $15 per hundred pounds, an ideal climate, wild animals whose flesh is used for food, and adds that "by paying $25 a share, number of shares not restricted, you become a shareholder of the company and entitled to free transportation." George W. Harris, editor of the New York News, devoted to Negroes, said yesterday that he could not understand discrepancies between Chief Sam's claim and the letter that Duse Mohamed, editor of the African Times and Oriental Review of London, a member of the Chamber of Commerce of that city, had written in answer to queries about Chief Sam. Mr. Mohamed who knows West Africa, wrote: "The name of Albert Sam as a chief is unknown to me. All lands in that British colony are tribal lands, which can neither be sold nor given away by the chiefs and there is no part of the colony where sixty-four acres will be available for each of the 1,500 persons. The country is covered with dense forests. I am sure that even if the British Government allowed them to have their own towns, it would not allow them to set up any form of government. It would be disastrous if these people were-induced to go to Africa and find themselves stranded". J. Edmestone Barnes, formerly Liberian Minister of Public Works, wrote to the New York Age: "With the exception of the republic of Liberin, which is a sovereign black state, no other part is open to immigration of colored folk, because the country has been divided up by European governments and they do not allow emi- The members of the Urban League are actively at work on plans for the year's work. The several committees have held meetings in order to carry out the duties assigned them. Thursday of last week a committee from the League held a helpful conference with Bishop Reese at his office, Christ church. The conference terminated in an agreement for material social work. This has been ratified by the executive committee of the League. Saturday afternoon last a number of the ladies of the League conferred with a committee from the civic department of the Huntingdon Club. This conference was indeed inspiring and showed the deep interest that our white friends have in our welfare, and their great desire to help if we would only attempt to do something for ourselves. Last year the civic department of the Huntingdon Club offered several prizes for the cleanest yards. This resulted in much good. This year the number of prizes has been increased. The club has requested the Urban League to secure the contestants and assist in the inspection. The League has decided to do the work and a special committee has been appointed to look after the same. The executive committee of the League held an enthusiastic meeting Thursday afternoon when several plans for work were presented and ratified. A campaign is being made for more members. All persons who are interested in the work among the less fortunate ones are asked to join Until further arrangements, those interested in the activities of the League can communicate with the president at The Tribune office. The Smart Set Snappy, bright, wholesome and irresistible, accurately describes the next offering at the Savannah Theatre on Monday, matinee and night. It is entitled "The Wrong Mr. President" and is headed by that cleverest of all colored entertainers, Salem Tutt Whitney, supported by the noted "Smart Set" Company. The engagement promises to be one of the most eventful of the season. The offering is a musical comedy of the unconventional kind It differs in many respects from contemporary productions in that its interpreters are artists who are equally well versed in the art of terpsichore and singing. In addition they have an excellent conception of broad and unctuous humor, the sort that appeals and makes life worth while living: Mr. Whitney who has a peculiar style which does not permit of accurate imitation, has surrounded himself with a cast certain to find immediate acclaim anywhere. Conspicuous are Homer Tutt and Blanche Thompson. They are experienced and capital performers who aid and abet the star toward enviable success. The girls are pretty, the costumes pretentious and elaborate and the other accessories in harmony with past achievements of this invincible organization. A particular feature about the offering is that it will introduce Mr. Whitney in the role of an author. He is responsible for the book and lyrics while the music has been contributed by T. L. Corwell, a composer of original ideas. Plenty of good seats to be had all over the house. Miss Lillie Brown and Mr. Samuel Spencer were quietly married Tuesday morning. Marriage Announcement. The wedding of Miss Janie L. Tillie and Mr. Rufus Leon Baker, will take place at 8:30 o'clock Wednesday evening February 18th, at 624 Gwinnett street, west. At the office of the Akim Trading Company, Ltd., where A. E. Smith, a white man, is general manager, little information could be obtained because of the absence of the manager who was said to be very busy. NUMBER 22 Mt. Zion Church In Spot Light Mt. Zion Church In Spot Light REV. McD. SPENCER SUD- DENLY RESIGNS FROM PASTORATE Churchin Call Meeting Sunday Night Unanimously Accepted Resignation—Pastor Alleged to have Objected to Another Filling his Pulpit—Dissatisfaction Brewing for Sometime Like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky, the Rev. McD. Spencer tendered his verbal resignation of the pastorate of the Mt. Zion Baptist church, West Broad and Waldburg lane, on last Sunday morning immediately after a prayer was offered by the Rev. McTier, a visitor at the service of the church, who was asked, by one of the deacons, to conduct the services of the church in the absence of the pastor. Everything had been going along with the usual tranquility at the morning service at Mt. Zion and the average Sunday morning crowd was out to witness the services. The Rev. McTier had just concluded a fervent prayer and the congregation had about primed itself for a good old time sermon, when, all of a sudden, the pastor made his appearance at the church door and strolled up the aisle to the rostrum and, with a look of authority, inquired of the Rev. MeTier, whence came his authority to take charge of the services. It is alleged that in no unmistakable terms did the Rev. Spencer proceed to declare to the congregation that he was pastor of the church and that he would not stand for such treatment. It did not take the Rev. McTier long to vacate the pulpit and allow him full sway. After about a fifteen minute spirited declaration to the congregation, in which he is alleged to have stated that he was "through with the church," the services suddenly ended. An expectant crowd was present at church Sunday night, but nothing unusual took place during the services, the Rev. Philips officiating. After the services a call meeting of the church was held and the verbal resignation of the pastor was unanimously accepted. At a meeting Tuesday night arrangements were entered into to secure the remainder of the money owed Rev. Spencer as salary. Trouble at Mt. Zion, it is stated, has been brewing for sometime and Sunday morning's scene was the culmination of the dissatisfaction at the way things have been recently conducted at the church. St. Philip Church Rev. Singleton was the Lord's messenger at the eleven o'clock services on Sunday. The young people of the church had their literary program on Sunday night. Our members must keep in mind that each and every one belong to some club in the church and they must see their captains and report Every member that failed to pay on last Sunday must see their captains and pay on to-morrow, (Sunday 15th.) On Monday night next February 16th, the five night bazaar given for the purpose of putting lights in the church, will open in the lecture room under the chairmanship of Mrs. R. L. Barnes. The musical concert and Tom Thumb wedding were held at the church on Wednesday night. The following services will be held on tomorrow Sunday:) Prayer meeting at 5:30 a.m.; preaching 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. Everybody is invited. On next Friday night February 20th, there will be a mass meeting of the Negro Business League at St. Phillip Church. The Evangelical Ministers' Union will hold their installation services at St Philip on Wednesday night February 18th. The public and friends are invited to attend the five night bazaar at St. Phillip. M. C. Whitlor, a colored man in St. Louis, has demonstrated that one of his race can make good in the packing, expressing and storage business. He is conducting a large business, and paying business at 2520 North Taylor Avenue, St. Louis. The greatest care should be exercised when examining visitors, and an admittance refused to any one who is not able to thoroughly satisfy the board. It is better to refuse admittance to ninety-nine genuine Masons than to admit one impostor. If the "rusty" Mason is not able to prove himself, the fault lies with him, and he has only himself to blame. In Great Britain the first thing required of the visitor is the Grand Lodge certificate, and in many of the American jurisdictions a similar partice prevails. It may be a hardship on a visitor, who has mislaid his certificate, to be refused admittance, but in a matter of such serious import the security of the Order is the first thing to be considered, and the present conditions render it absolutely necessary that the strictest safeguards be employed to protect lodges against the intrusion of those impostors who are doing so much to besmirch the fair fame on Masonry by using it for their own base and selfish ends.—Masonic Chronicle. A Chinese lodge of Masons has been organized at Hamilton, Ont., and will be affiliated with the Canadian organization which is the branch of the parent body. It is the first Chinese lodge in that vicinity, and officers of the lodges from Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal, participated in the ceremony. Seventeen candidates were initiated. Open your lodge promptly and carry out your routine of business with dispatch, and give every member present an opportunity to say something for the good of Masonry. Make your meetings interesting and lively. It is a mighty hard matter to maintain an unimpaired manhood in this time of general bartering of personal values for personal gain. The age seems to be one of bosses upon the part of the few, and of servitude for either monetary or some other gain on the part of the many, out of which can come no good to the moral life of the people, and no permanent gain to the individual for the gain to the public must come through the manhood of individuals and the gain permanent to the individual must come through his consciousness of his own personal integrity.—W. T. Bowling. The man in this world who tries to soothe his conscience by using the devil's ointment will never heal a wounded soul or have an inheritance in the Kingdom of God.—Sel. A NOBLER MISSION It needs no argument to convince any Mason who is not dead to all his obligations that Masonry has some higher and nobler mission than the mere conferring of degrees; that the work of the lodge-room has a greater scope than the repetition of ceremonies, be they ever so venerable with age or beautiful with sentiment; that the records of a lodge which do not tell us of some good deeds performed, some act of charity done for charity's sake, are but the memories of wasted hours, of vain pretensions, of solemn promises broken, of duties neglected.— --- PRESERVE THE HISTORY More interest should be taken in preserving the history of Masonic Lodges. Very few men know anything of the history of their own Lodges. The day is coming when the facts for such a history cannot be obtained, and the Lodge will come to the time when it will regret that it is unable to gather the data very far back for either biography or history.—Trowel. We need more fellowship in our Masonic lodges. We need more of that spirit which prompts a man upon entering a lodge room to seek out each brother, grasp his hand in fraternal greeting and inquire after his welfare. The selfishness of the age has become proverbial, but a Masonic lodge ought to be an exception. The true Mason is his brother's keeper, not in the sense of meddling with his personal affairs, but in that broader sense of being linked together in chain of indissoluble affection.—Masonic Standard. USES OF MONEY. I desire money because I think I know the use of it. It commands labor, it gives leisure, and to give leisure to those who will employ it in the forwarding of truth is the noblest present an individual can make to the whole.—Shelley. Quite So. "Here's a girl says college students should be treated as if they were weak minded." "There goes the old mistake of judging a man by his clothes."—Louisville Courter-Journal. "Yes, but he was never known to give a man his word that he did not break it." "Dishonest, eh?" ·Caustic. Chollie-I figured out this morning how many ancestors I really had and found there were several thousand. Miss Blunt-And just think of the insignificant result of all those ancestors.-Boston Transcript. A Wonderful Man. "Eh, doctor," said a gillie of a small Scotch town to a friend, "he maun hae been an extraor'nary man, that Shakespeare. There are things hae come into his head that never would hae come into mine at a." Inside Information Mother—If you could have eaten that entire jar of jam without a single twinge of conscience, you must be thoroughly bad. Willie—No, mother; I am confident there is something good in me.—Yale Record. Plenty of Means. Dinks—I see Rouge has bought an automobile. I didn't think he had sufficient means to do that. Winks—Oh, he has all sorts of means of borrowing money and just as many means of spending it. Too Clever. "Anything specially interesting about the chap?" "Yes, indeed. He's our leading exponent of the new dances. Took lessons from two acrobats and a contortionist." "He must be kept busy." "On the contrary, he can't get anybody to dance with him."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. All the Same to Him. It was the husband's afternoon off, and he thought he would take the children for a little outing. "My dear," he said to his wife, "suppose we take the children to the zoo today." "Why, dear, you promised to take them to mother's." "All right, if it's all the same to the children."—Ladies' Home Journal. English as She Is Spoken. "You'll get run in," said a pedestrian to a wheelman without a light. "You'll get run into," savagely responded the cyclist as he knocked the pedestrian down. "You'll get run in, too!" said a policeman, stepping from behind a tree. And just then another scorcher came, along without a light, so the policeman ran in two.—Exchange. Wings of the Bat. The wings of bats are merely hands. The fingers are very long and joined by a membrane similar to that of a duck's foot, only thinner. This membrane is extended up the arm, along the body and down to the legs and tail. The thumb is very short and its nail is extended to form a hook or claw. White Turkeys. Did you ever bear of a white turkey? There is such a bird, though he is not often found. Perhaps you would imagine he would make extra good eating because of his being different from the general run of turkeys. But his flesh tastes no better than that of his bronze brothers. His feathers, however, are worth three times as much as the brown ones—Detroit Free Press. An Anecdote of Renan. Renan while traveling alighted at Naples. One morning a servant of the hotel came to him and said that as she had heard the preacher at the cathedral make use of his name many times she, would be thankful if he would choose for her a number in the lottery about to be drawn. "If you are a saint," said she, "the number is sure to be a good one; if you are a devil, it will be still better." Renan smiled and chose a number, but he never knew if the servant was lucky. The Flag. On June 14, 1777, the Continental congress resolved that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white, and that the Union be thirteen white stars on a blue field. On Jan. 13, 1794, by an act of congress, the flag was altered to fifteen red and white stripes and fifteen stars. On April 4, 1818, congress again altered the flag by returning to the original thirteen stripes and fifteen stars, as the adding of a new stripe for each additional state would soon make the flag too large. A new star is added to the flag on July 4 following the admission of each new state.—New York American. --- Special Notice Mrs. Mamie E.

They are also the most important of all cultivated water products and with the exception of the sea herring the most valuable of all aquatic animals. Some desirable ways of serving them are given here. Oysters and Macaroni—Take boiled macaroni and raw oysters and place in alternate layers in a buttered baking pan, seasoning each layer with salt, grated lemon rind and a bit of red pepper. Add a small cupful of cream, cover top with breadcrumbs and bake in a hot oven. Serve with celery and thin slices of buttered brown bread. For Special Occasions. Chaudfroid of Oysters. — Blanch twelve large oysters in their own liquor, drain them and remove the beards. Have ready some aspic mayonnaise, coat each oyster well with this and let them set on the ice on a wire tray. Stamp out some 'dot' shapes of red plimento, place these in rings of olives and set one in the center of each oyster. Mask with a little dissolved aspic and place them on little round croutees of fried or toasted bread. Serve and garnish with parsley sauce. These Are Digestible. Panned Oysters. — Toast thin slices of stale bread, butter and place in a shallow baking dish. Moisten with the liquor from the oysters and cover with raw oysters. Season with salt, pepper and small bits of butter. Cover with a tight lid and cook in a hot oven for seven or eight minutes or until they swell and the edges curl. They can also be panned in their own juice in a frying pan, seasoning with butter, pepper and salt. Serve on toast. Cooked In Shells Oysters and Mushrooms.—Take some scallop dishes, as many as there are persons to serve. Put a small piece of butter into a hot stewpan. Add the oysters when the butter melts, with an equal quantity of chopped mushrooms, a minced shallot, some chopped parsley, salt and pepper to taste. Let these cook over a brisk fire for a minute or two; then fill the shells with the mixture. Put bits of butter here and there. Sprinkle with powdered cracker crumbs and brown the top with a red-hot poker or small shovel. THE KITCHEN CUPBOARD EAT RAISINS OFTEN. LUNCHEON MENU. Liver and Bacon. Baked Sweet Potatoes. Johnnycake. Apples Stuffed With Raisins. Cookies. Tea. THE amount of nourishment in rasins and their delicate flavor commend them as frequent ingredients in desserts. Some helpful hints along this line are given here. Nice For Breakfast Apples Stuffed With Raisins.—Take large, perfect Greening apples, pare and core, making the cavity in coring larger than usual. Prepare a stuffing of finely chopped, seeded raisins that have been thoroughly washed, a generous lump of butter and a little salt. Stuff the apples very compactly and sprinkle over all some sugar. Tee each apple in a clean linen cloth like an English plum pudding and cook two hours in boiling water. Then serve immediately, when very hot, with thick hard sauce or cream sauce. Raisin Pie.--Remove the seed from a pound of fine raisins and stew them until tender in two cupfuls of water. Add to them a cupful of sugar and a tablespoonful of molasses, the juice of one sweet orange and half its grated rind, the juice of one lemon and half its grated rind, two eggs beaten to a froth, a piece of butter the size of an egg and a generous thickening of well dried bread crumbs. Flavor with cinnamon and salt and bake in one or two crusts as preferred. When one crust is used, cover the top with meringue. Wholesome Puddings. Raisin Rice Pudding.—Boil the rice until tender. Then take one and one-half cupfuls of the cooked rice, one quart milk, three eggs beaten light, four tablespoonfuls sugar, one teaspoonful vanilla and one cupful raisins. Put in a baking dish, grate a little nutmeg on top and bake until brown. Raisin Bread Pudding.—Take a tablespoonful of sugar and half a teaspoonful of salt and mix them in a pint of creamy milk—it is richer to have cream—and scald to the boiling point. Instantly remove from the fire and pour it over a heaping pint of bread crumbs. Add butter the size of an English walnut and set aside in a covered dish for an hour. Then stir into the mixture a pound of raisins that have been placed in the oven for seven or eight minutes and become puffed and full, four stiff beaten eggs, the juice of half a lemon and a little nutmeg. Put in a large, well buttered bowl, cover with a buttered wax paper and then tie into a clean linen pudding cloth and boil for two hours.

Making It Last. A young man was lately leaving his aunt's house after a visit when, finding it was beginning to rain, he caught up an umbrella that was snugly placed in a corner and was proceeding to open it when the old lady, who for the first time observed his movements, sprang toward him, exclaiming: "No, no; that you never shall!

He giveth his best who aids and cheers He does well in the forest wild Who slays the monster and saves the child; But he does better and merits more Who drives the wolf from the poor man's door." How evident the above truism is and applicabe is it to the efforts, both past and present, of the consecrated men and women who constitute the membership of the Local Branch of the National Urban League! To appreciate the unselfish spirit that actuates the members of the league to go into the highways and hedges in order to steek and serve the needy, is but to see brighter day ahead for the poor among us. We have no hesitation in expressing our belief that the Urban League is going to enjoy a long and unbroken period of usefulness in our community. That the conservative Southern press, the organ which yields a powerful influence in the proper adjustment of the races in the south, is growing sick and tired of the blatant vaporings of South Carolina's Chief Executive and has decided to give as little space as possible to the preachments of demagogy and Negrophobia, is shown by the scarcity of its editorial comments upon the more recent acts and utterances of the head of the House of Blease. This is as it should be and gives every indication of a growing sentiment of conservatism and friendliness on the part of the Southern press for the Negro and the cause which he represents. There is no denying the fact that one of the greatest makers or moulders of public sentiment is the daily press, the Southern press no exception. In a large measure, the people will think as the press thinks. Likewise they will so act. Hence its attitude on any public matter is of vital importance. To know that the present tendency of the press of the South is to hear and not hear Blease is indeed gratifying and assuring to us in that one fact that so far as the Southern press is concerned the Blease idea will not become universal. In its policy of silence anent inflammatory and race hating remarks of Governor Blease, the Southern press has the endorsement and thanks of every one of us. May this policy of silence on matters of unfairness and violence to the Negro become more and more wide spread each day as the south increases in wealth, intelligence and fairness. If there is any month of the years that brings to our memory the life and achievements of many of the most illustrious but now sainted makers of American history, it is indeed the month of February. As it appears, fate decreed that the month of February, the shortest month of the year, should be the birth month of an unusually large number of our men of destiny. As we scan the pages of American history and note the life and achievements of those of our illustrious who first saw the light of day on what was probably a bright and crisp February morn, none hold us with greater fascination or have greater signification to us than do those of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln; the one, the forerunner, who, as it were, became the blazer of the way for the emancipatory act; the other the great prince of peace and freedom, the undisputed salver of the American nation at what is considered by all, the most crucial period in its history. It is said that those born in the same month, have a tendency to similar disposition, temperament and aspirations. If this be true, then surely there can hardly be better proof of the same than a comparison of the lives of Douglass and Lincoln: there can be redemining the fact that both of these were men of broad vision, keen insight and perspective judgment. They believed in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. They believed in common that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, the rightly termed inalienable rights of man, should be guaranteed not only a part of the American people but all of them. They believed that slavery was a curse, a blot upon the nation's escutcheon. At an early age, each of them, alike, became an implacable foe to the institution. Thus each of them, the one in black skin, the other in white, worked, planned and prayed that the cancerous growth that was consuming the very vitals of the American people might be wiped out for the good of all concerned. We cannot think of Frederick Douglass or Abraham Lincoln without thinking of the struggles of our people during and immediately after the dark days of slavery. Their lives have so interwoven themselves into the destiny of our people that whatever successes may come to us, we cannot fail to attribute a large part of it to the heritage which is ours through the life and achievements of these great men and those whom they inspired. The month of February ought to be an unusually welcomed one among us since it affords an opportunity to pay honor to the memory of those who served us on the anniversary of their birth as well as to reconstrate ourselves to the service of the race which they so eminently served. Rev. Hawkins Desires Peace Mr. Editor: I desire to thank you for publishing my resignation to the First Shiloh Baptist church. I also desire to say, that I do not mean to retaliate to anything, good or bad, that shall be said in your paper by that church or any member of it. I am sure the church record is an open book in the community where it is located. My record as a pastor, minister, preacher, father, husband and a Christian is also known. I served the church the best I could. If I have done any wrong it was not my desire to do so. I did not speak evil nor exclude any member from their church for their wrong, while I was their pastor; I shall not be mine to do so now. The church and I belong to the Lord and if we fail to show respect to each other for service performed, God will truly pay us both. The Christian pastor and the Christian church should not attempt to do the things we have been preaching and praying for others not to do. God bless you "Shiloh," you have done many good things for me, I am too sorry to learn, because I resigned, there was nothing good you could say for one who feels he has done his best Again, Mr. Editor, I thank you. 'The deeds of our hands whether good or evil, but the day win dawn when they will appear. And in their hands they will bear our reward— Life, for the good; Death for the evil."

Mrs. Anna Hammonds, of this city, a sister of the deceased left on Tuesday to attend the funeral. Miss Beatrice Anderson, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Anderson departed this life January 24th and was buried in Augusta from the Thankful Baptist church the following Monday, Rev E. P. Pinckney and Rev J. M. Nabrit, officiating. The deceased was a graduate of West Board street school and Beach Institute. Funeral services were conducted on Saturday night, January 24th by Rev.

The following gentlemen acted as pall bearers: Messrs Julian Collins, L. S. Harmen, Chas. McLaughlin, Walter Johnson, Jas. H. Muxwell, Daniel Stewart and Wm. Berry. Miss Anderson had been ill only two weeks before her death. She was a devoted daughter and sister. She was 22 years old and much beloved by all who knew her. New Move in College,Athletics For the past ten years there has been more or less agitation among our southern colleges for a combined effort in the purging of athletics and the preservation of a high standard of scholarship along with the encouragement of sports. Several new successful attempts have been made to effect an organization through which the schools might put forth united effort for such an end. In late December Talladega College sent out invitations to representative institutions in five states to join in an Inter-institutional Association for the promotion of better athletics among our schools, suggesting that each school appoint a representative to be present at a committee meeting to be held in Atlanta, December 30th at Morehouse College, which was considered the most central point of meeting. President Hope wrote a cordial acceptance of the suggestion—thus Morehouse College became hostess of the meeting. The morning session of the committee was called to order in the President's library at ten o'clock, President Metcalf of Talladega College presiding by general consent. Roll was called and eleven institutions representing 5 states responded. Mr. Watson of the International Y. M. C. A. Board sitting for Jackson College, Mississippi, whose president wired his regrets at not being able to attend, was present at the meeting. For four hours the committee discussed in an informal way all the problems confronting the fostering of eligible athletics in Negro schools. The petty ruler of a distant clime, the representative of the minor school made bold by the democracy of the occasion, felt himself in his own atmosphere and showed his hesitancy in expressing his thoughts and aspirations. The great university unstiffened its lofty dignity and, moved by the spirit of a common cause, mingled with freedom in the discussion of the great small problems of her sister schools. Dinner was served at half past two. An hour intermission followed dinner, during which time a committee appointed by the chairman and composed of President Ware of Atlanta University, Mr. Stephenson of Tuskegee and Prof. Archer of Morehouse College drafted a constitution and laws for the Association, whose adoption and ratification took up the entire afternoon. When business came to the election of officers the nomination committee was appointed by the chairman: Morehouse College, Pres. Hope; Jackson College, Prof. Watson and A. & M. College of Florida, Mr. Avent. By virtue of his having originated the idea of the Association, Mr. Silsby of Talladega College was by general consent and on motion by Prof. Archer acclaimed president of the organization whose name was voted "The Southeastern Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association," and for the remaining five officers provided for by the constitution, the committee recommended for ballot the following vice-presidents (3) Fisk, Morehouse and Florida A. & M. College; secretary-treasury, Mr. Towns of Atlanta University; assistant secretary-treasury, Mr. Simms of Morris Brown College. The three vice presidents of the Executive Council were apportioned as follows by vote: First vice-president, Mr. Avent, A. & M. College of Florida; second vice-president, Mr. Archer, Morehouse College; third vice-president, Mr. John Work, Fisk University. At the completion of the election the chairman relinquished his seat and in the absence of the president, the first vice-president took the chair and presided over the remainder of session. Whether it was the intellectual atmosphere that permeates the seat of our meeting or the dignified democracy of the visiting representatives, or the impulse of a common cause certainly no committee, even the members of the same concern, ever held a more amicable meeting than this at Morehouse College December 30. In its deliberations and enactments the committee avoided all radical and cumbersome turns and arrived principally at perfecting an organization, whose supervision of athletics would render it more commendable thru the scholarship eligibility of player and sportsmanship of this individual association. Those who were present were, President Metcalf, Talladega College; President Ware, Atlanta University; President Hope, Mosehouse College; Prof. Metcalf, Fisk University; Prof. Stephenson, Tuskegee Ins.; Prof. Watson, Jackson College; Mr. Avent, A. & W College of Florida; Mr. len, State Normal of Alabama; Prof, Archer, Morehouse College; Prof Towns, Atlanta University; Profs. Simms and Mitchel of Morris Brown; Prof. Heard and Mr-Arnold, Clark University.—The College Arms. Cards of Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Chas.

Resolutions Savannah, Ga., Feb. 4, 1914 To the Officers and Members of Crystal Court No. 210. O. of C. Whereess: The almighty Father has seen fit to take Sister Phillis Adkins from our midst, we feel it's our loss but heaven's gain. Be it Resolved, That Sister Adkins's place will remain unfilled, she being one who was loved by all, one who was ever dutiful to this court, a good neighbor, good citizen, and a good advisor at all times, a good Christian and a loving mother. Be it further Resolved, That Sister Adkins was never too tired to go to see the sick members, so pleasant that she never felt that she was compelled to do it, but felt it as her duty never in a temper to cramp another's feelings. So dutiful, beloved and kind until we bow our heads in humble submission to the calling of the Almighty Father. So shocking was her call until tears fall from the eyes of every court member. Sister Phillis Adkins, we bid you a long farewell, soon to meet around the dazzling throne of God, where pain and sorrow are no more. Your committee, Sister P. Pinkney, " M. A.

Yes I have just had a "peep in" at the 1913 yearly report of the Ga. Mutual which is not fully completed. Of course we do not believe in such as "bad luck" etc., but since so many of our friends have kept reminded of the danger of becoming the victim of some form of "hoo doo-ism" we thought it wise to be more careful along business lines in 1913 than we would have been under ordinary circumstances and as a consequence we just "literally" "cleaned up" for old "hoo-doo." Now we will give you the secret which is a well cultivated habit of progressiveness: then too it is contagious, and if you join the Ga. Mutual, you will "catch it." Branch Office-509 W Broad St H. T.

Social Happenings The party given on Tuesday night at 527 Taylor street, east, by Miss Stella Willis and Mrs. Flossie Turner in honor of Mrs. Sylvia Jones of Jersey City, N. J., formerly of this city was indeed a pleasant affair. Music and games were the features of the occasion. The guests, who numbered about thirty-five, were served with a delicious assortment of refreshments. Mrs. Jones left on Thursday afternoon for home. Pilgrim Congregational Church Augusta Read, near 3 mile post Sunday school at 11:00; morning service and preaching directly after Sunday school. In the after noon at 5 o'clock song service will take place. You and your friends are invited to be present at these services. Last Sunday was much colder than expected and for this reason the Sunday School was not as well attended. The church has resumed its morning services and perhaps will have preaching at this hour during the entire summer. To-morrow the several committees are due to report, and also each member is expected to pay their taxation toward the repairs of the building and the improvements in general to be made around the outside, including a play ground for the children. Lincoln's memorial exercises will also be rendered on to-morrow: Notes on Negro Progress FURNISHED BY THE NATIONAL NE GRO BUSINESS LEAGUE The Afro-American Investment and Employment Company, of Kansas City, Missouri, is one of the really big business institutions in that city. F. J. Weaver is manager and the dominant factor in it. The company has a paid-up capital of $15,000, and is doing a splendid business. Mr. Weaver is regarded as one of the most progressive men of his race in the West. J. E. Earle & Company, a boot and shoe repairing establishment doing business at 202 North Illinois Street, and 201 Indiana Avenue, Indianapolis, is a business managed and controlled by colored men that is doing a fine business. In addition to repairing shoes, the firm also manufactures and repairs harness. The Pythian Temple, at Evansville, Indiana, has been completed, and is not only a credit to the order and to the race, but it is a credit to the city in which it is located. The building, a threestory one, is located in the heart of the city, is substantially built and finely appointed and equipped. The Piedmont Cafe at Meridian, Mississippi, is one of the largest, if not the very largest, restaurants in Meridian. It is owned and operated by John S. Beale, a colored man. The cafe is a two-story, up-to-date establishment, the proprietor owning both the business and building in which it is located. --- The last statement issued by the Beneficial Life Insurance Company, of Indianola, Mississippi, of which Dr. W. A. Attaway is president, shows that it is in a most flourishing condition. The assets of the company amount to $57,939.52 divided as follows: First Mortgage Loans on Real Estate. $35,850.00; Cash in bank and Home office. $18,710.97; Premium Notes and Loans, 3,378 55. At the close of the day's business December 11th, last, the Delta Penny Savings Bank at Indiunola, Mississippi, had in resources $155,250 45, divided as follows: Loans, Discounts, etc. $89,983 36; Overdrafts secured, $3,690.81; -Banking house 5,000; Furniture Fixtures, $3,350.00; Sight Exchange, $43,927.75; Other Real Estate $1,200. And this great showing by a colored bank is made in a town where President Roosevelt closed up a post office for two years because its patrons refused to accept mail from a colored postmistress, and the husband of that postmistress, W. N. Cox, is the cashier and largest stockholder in the bank, and the man most largely responsible for its success. This is but one of the few evidences of Negro successes in Mississippi and the change for better conditions. Many of the large white business houses are depositors in this bank. Anderson, Tucker & Co., Bankers, is the style of a new business, capitalized and manned by colored men, ushered in with the new year at Jacksonville, Florida. Chas. H. Anderson, treasurer of the National Negro Business League, and Benjamin E. Tucker are the leading spirits in the new colored firm. The new bank is located at 402 Broad street, Jacksonville, in the Masonic Temple. The bank begins business under the most auspicious circumstances, and those connected with it are men of splendid financial standing and who have the confidence of their race, and the white business people as well. Agitation for an up-to-date colored grocery store in Washington, D.C., is being made by colored business men. Although Washington has 127,000 colored population, and this population averages more than $12,000 spent daily by colored people for groceries alone, there is not a single up-to-date grocery store in the city. The co-operative spirit is growing in Washington, and the colored citizens there are beginning to realize that colored business enterprises mean splendid returns in the way of increased opportunities for young colored men and women as clerks, bookkeepers, etc. A first-class, colored grocery store in Washington will be a financial success. The secretary to the president of the New York.,Chicago & St. Louis Ry.,a part of the Vanderbilt System, is a colored man, Walter B. Wright. Not only is he secretary to the president, and therefore high in authority, but is also first member of the executive committee of the Veteran Association, an organization of employees of the road who have been with that company. Mr. Wright, twenty-five or more years service whose home is at Cleveland, Ohio, is a splendid example of the successful colored man whose merit alone won him success. Not Alone. "Dear me, Uncle Ephraim," exclaimed the bright western girl as she met the old gentleman in the hallway, "you don't know how surprised I am to see you!

Wea Goftee-pr Cocoas PENHERE is probably no meal which T counts more to the average per- ~ son than the first repast of the day. It should be borne in mind that rthe appetite is usually more fickle In the morning than it would be late in the day. Indeed, the sense of taste 4s never so keen as at an early hour. On’this account the dishes selected for breakfasts should at all times be well seasoned, daintily and ‘attractively served, and yet simple in ‘character. Elaborate diskes should as much as possible be avoided, Fins Appetizers. Breaded Kidneys dnd Bacon.—Take half a-pound of beef kidney, a quarter pound of bacon, egg and crumbs.

Invitations engraved or written upon heart shaped cards are sent to the guests. Decorate the room with hearts cnt from red cardboard and suspended trom ribbons, making a “shower of hearts” to be danced under. 4: pretty touch could be given to the affair if the girls would wear white dance frocks and trim them with hearts cut from red crape paper.

SUNDAY _ SCHOOL. Lesson villsirt | Quarter, For | Feb. . 22, 1914. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Luke xii, 1-12, Memory Verses, 8, 9—Golden Text, Luke xii, 8—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. He had in our last lesson spoken of the*Phatiseesy as not only having a mere outwati'relgion, but also of be- ing one with thélf- ancestors In perse- cuting and killing the prophets, and He had accused the lawyers of not only refusing the truth themselves, but ‘of keeping it from others_ Now He ‘says to His disciples. “Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which Is hypocrisy.” As matters were consum- ‘mating and the crisis approaching, He was speaking ufore pointedly concern- ing some things. All the wrong will be manifest tp due time, and the right will prevail, so that it is wise to live always in the sight of the Lord and seek in all things His approval (I Cor. ty, 3; 11 ‘Tim. fi. 15). He had saigton a previous ocea- sion, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the tadducees and of Herod," but they were so dull that they thought that He referred to literal bread and not to false doctrine (Matt. xvi, O-11; Mark vill, 15). ‘Thero is more need than ever to be- ware of falso teachers and steachins. for formalisin and rationalism and worldliness are ever increasing. The Pharisee was all for form and outward show, even thongh professing to be Heve some things. The Sadducce had no use for anything supernatural, while Herod, though somewhat re- lgious, preferred the sinful pleasures of thts world (Acts xxill, 8; Mark vi, 20). ‘here 1s no place In the Bible where leaven ever signifies anything good. In*Lev. vii, 13; xxill, 17, where leaven was commanded to be offered, it rep- resented sin in us and {n our service, as is explained in Amos iv, 5, margin. In the parable In Matt. xiif, 33, it re- fers to the corruption of the food giv- en in the churches in thls age of “the mysteries of the kingdom,” which {s set forth in the parables of the sower, the tares, the mustard tree and the leaven. We are rapldiy approaching the time of the oven and the burning. If we receive the word of God sim- ply and heartily we shall know some- thing of the hatred of the religious world (John xvii, 14). even unto perse- cution and death (Rev. £ 9; 11, 10; xi, 17, but our Lord teaches us that the death of the body Is not a serous mat- ter if we are.truly His, for it will mean for the believer real gain and something very far better than remain- ing here (Phil 4, 21, 23). Therefore we are not to fear it (verses 4, 7; Matt. x, 28). He who cares for sparrows will surely care for His own redeemed ones, so that we may be as brave a3 Danfel’s friends if we have faith in God. The unsaved have every reason to fear death, for to them it will mean the torment of Luke xvi, 29, and finil- ly the lake of fre (Rev. xx, 14. 15). A true child of God is one who, see- Ing himself to be a sinner, has pleaded guilty and cast himself upon the mer- cy of God in Christ, recelving Jesus Christ as his own personal Saviour. | putting all his trust in the precious | blood shed for him on Calvary. Thus one is able to say, “Belng justified by falth, I have peace with God” (Rom. | ¥, 1). None others are children of God. according to the Scriptures. Now, while God needs no evidence of our sincerity in this apart from our faith, for He reads the heart, it is nec- essary that men should see some evi- dence of our faith, for they can only see faith as It {3 manifest in the lives and the works of bellevers. according to Eph. tl, 10: Tit. iil; 8; hence that other saying about confessing witb the mouth the Lord Jesus and show- ing faith by works (om. x, 9. 10; Jas. i, 20. ‘There are those who walk in the outward life as Christians, but who wind earthly things and are the enemies of the cross of Christ. They profess that they know God, but in works they deny Him (Phil. ill. 18. 19: Tit. , 16). It is not for us to judge them or to say that they are or are not thus and so, He will see to that. But we may judge olrselves and consider well if our faith in Christ fs real and our life corresponding in any measure thereto. That there {s a possibility of belng saved and yet unrewarded is plainly taught In I Cor. ill, 11-15. ‘The last verse of our lesson is a great comfort to those who are willing fo confess with their mouth, as well as 0 such as may suddenly be placed in 1 difficult position. Nothing can take he place of reliance upon the Hols Spirit both as our teacher and our ut- erance.

Roll together in paper and place in the tronk when starting on a journey to supply the often felt need of proper hanging conveniences. Adjust your rod at such a distance from the back of the wardrobe that you can slip coat arms over it and give them space to hang in a straight row. ‘When leaving unscrew the rods and take them with you. ‘When this has once been tried it will always be the traveling companicn and one that never indulges in moods or whims.

One morning two sendtors entered President Lincoln's private _ office. With them slipped in a Jad who had been waiting a long time for admis- sion to the presence of this great man. ‘The president briefly greeted the two senators; then, turning to the boy, said kindly, “And who is this little boy?” The child answered: “My mother is poor, sir, and I’m looking for work. I thought you mizht let me be a page in the house.” “Very good, son,” auswered the prest- dent, “but you'll have to see the door- keeper of the house at the capitol.” “But, sir,” sald the lad, “I am a good boy and have a letter from my mother and from my Sunday school superin- tendent and my teacher.” ‘The president took the Iad’s papers, ran his eye over them and then wrote upon the back of one of them: If Captain Goodnow can give a place to this good little boy I shall be gratified. | A. LINCOLN. Do you think the boy got the job? Lincoin’s Kind Heart. The following story shows what s kind and noble man President Lincoln was: One cold winter day Lincoln met a poor man who had been hired to chop up an old-hut into firewood. The poor fellow was barefoot, thinly clothed and shivering from the cold, and he was so weak that he could hardly raise the ax. Lincoln stopped the man in his work and said, “How much are you getting for this job?” “A dollar,” sald the woodchopper, “and with it I must buy myself a pair of shoes.” : “You go inside and warm yourself for a few minutes,” sald Lincoln as he took the ax from the woodchopper. ‘Then he swung the ax mightily and soon had the old hut split up Into kindlings. He had done ft so quickly that the man could hardly belfeve his eyes, The poor woodchopper received his money and bought bis shoes. =. St. Valentine’s Day. One authority says that the custom of sending paper valentines is quite modern, dating back a little over 100 years. For centuries before that 2 valentine was not a dainty bit of colored or embossed paper. A valen: tine was a person. We see a relic of this meaning in the words still s0 often found on these dainty missives. such as “Be my valentine.” From the early Roman down to quite modern times it was the custom of the maidens of a village or social circle on the 14th or 15th of February to write their names on bits of paper and drop them into a bor: then the youths, blindfolded. would each draw a name from the box, and the one whose name a young man drew was bound to be his valentine for one year. It was a kind of mock engage- ment, which, it may be supposed. quite often ended in a real one, for the young man was bound by custom to be somewhat attentive to his valentine during the year. ‘The Dolly’s Valentine.

The day being rather cold, our sexton turned all the heat into the lecture room through some misunderstanding and consequently we held the morning service there. We were sorry however that many of our friends went away not seeing us in our accustomed place; we hope you'll come again. The pastor, Rev. N. M. Clarke, preached two very excellent sermons; especially so was the one at night, "The Brother Question." The subject of the morning sermon was a "Message to Backsliders," Our Sunday school is taking on new life again Services to-morrow as follows: Prayer services 6:30 a.m., preaching 11 a.m., subject "The Cave Life Condemned." Sunday school 3:15 p.-m., B. Y. P. U., 6:30 p.m., preaching 8 p.m., subject, "Child's Play Religion." We welcome you to all of our services, and promise you good music, excellent sermons and a comfortable church. F. B. B. Church Dots On Sunday morning, the services were conducted by Rev. Chas. Wright. After the usual opening exercises, he preached a very instructive sermon on the subject of "Prayer." At night the services were conducted by by the pastor. Do not forget to attend the B. Y. P. U. services on Sunday evening at 7:30 p. m. All of our services are always beneficial. St. Benedict's Church With music and illuminations the grand fair which St. Benedicts church is conducting for ten days, opened last Monday night on E. Broad and Gordon Sts. Crawds of people visited the beautiful decorated booths and admired the dainty articles exhibited on the shelves. The booths with their various hangings, one white and pink, another white and red, and some others red, white and blue, look all very pretty and fascinating. The visitors, the first night, could scarcely move and find space enough to go freely about and admire the many pretty articles displayed. Many handsome donations have been made to the fair, a beautiful mantlepiece, a cut glass pitcher, several electric or gas irons, a barrel of flour, statues and pictures etc. Handsome needle and crochet work were donated by several ladies of the city. The country store and the wonder-well are supplied every day by the articles donated by different friends of our church. Thanks to the Knights of Damon and the music furnished by the Knights of Pythias, the first day of the fair was a big success. Every member of the different committees, ladies and gentlemen, is working hard and conduct everything with success. Right Reverend Bishop. Keiley of accompanied by his chancellor, Rev. J. Mitchell and Very Reverend Bernard, rector of the Benedictine College, were prominent visitors of the fair Tuesday and Wednesday night. The fair will last until the 27th of February: Admission is free. Organization seems to be the order of the day among people who have reached the point of stability. It is indeed a hopeful sign, that the men in our church are begin ning to organize to do the great good organized men can do and for which this community has so long been crying. The fact, that there are instances of disorganization is not altogether discouraging. These instances are noticable for the very reason that we are getting used to organization. The men in at least two churches have organized themselves. They have organized to give better support to the church, to the pastor, to the community, and to give back to the church the manly aid it has so long been lacking. The Congregational Brotherhood of the First Congregational church is planning a state wide movement for the organization of the men in the church. At the annual meeting, plans were laid for work among men and among boys and for encouraging the organization of the men of every church in the city. All of the officers were re-elected. The other departments of the church work are progressive, and the spirit of work is becoming a identity. The chair of the church will give its annual sacred concert on he evening of the zion Feb. ruary at 8 o'clock. The program will consist of realy worthy music well rendered. The Congregational Brotherhood observed its anniversary on Thursday night by a banquet in the annex of the First Congregational Church. A large number of the men were present, and many inspiring expressions were foretelling good things for the Brotherhood and the church.
