The thirty-sixth session of the South Georgia Conference of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church will convene in Thomas- ville on Tuesday and continue through ‘the following Sunday. Much interest is being shown in the meeting and a large atten- dance is looked for. There are about 250 charges in this conference, one of_the principal ones being St. Paul Church, West Broad and Maple streets, of which Rev. J. A. Mar- tin is pastor. Many changes are expected, especially amoig the presiding elders. This is ac- counted for by the recent law en- acted at Kansas City, which limits the service of presiding clders to six years before they return to the pastorate. Rev. Martin of St. Paul Church will leave for Thomasville to- morrow. Rev. Martin has been pastoring here a little over twelve months and his record has been excellent. He has added over a hundred membrs to the church, has renovated the struc- ture throughout and has made the church very popular, He has proven himself a staunch friend to the Negro business men of the city and they together with the entire populace are looking for- ward to his return to the pastor- ate of St. Paul.

LUS TO INSTITUTION Those Who Have Donated Books —Parents and Teachers Asked To Urge Children to Patronize Library. Since the occupation of the Carnegie Library building, located on Henry street near East Broad, by the Carnegie Colored Library Association, much interest has been shown by the people in call- ing for good .reading matter.

Green EMANCIPATION DAY SPEAKER JAN, | PRESIDENT ALLEN, LINCOLN’ | INSTITUTE, MISSOURI, SELECTED Mammoth Parade Being Planned Knights of Pythias and Knights of Damon to Escort Civic So- cieties—Exercises at St: Philip Church—Joint Meeting Dec. 9. Ata very enthusiastic joint meeting of the Emancipation As- sociation and the Chatham County Emancipation Association, held at St. Paul C. M. E. Church, last Wednesday night, an interesting program for the celebration which is to be held on the first of January was arranged. The meeting was largely at- tended by members from both as- sociations.and definite afrange~ ments for the celebration on Emancipation day were perfected. President B. I. Allen, of Lin-, coln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo., was unanimously selected to makc the address at the exercises which will take place at St. Philip A.M. E. Church, Charles ~and West Broad streets. President Allen, who is one of the leading Negro Educators of the country and president of the Missouri State Teachers Association, is a very forceful speaker. He is a native of the city, and one of the most illustrious of the Savannah- ians making good in other fields. The uniform rank of both the Knights of Pythias and Knights of Damon- will be out in full strength in the mammoth parade which is planned for Januaryt first.

Gwipmett St Sawh, Ga| O° 4: MANZO, Gen’). mer: A Right Which May Bo Freely Used by Quer ‘Chief Executive, but Which Might Shake the Throne of the Mon- arch Who Dared Assert It. ¥t has been“said that the president ot the United States has more real Power than most monarchs of Europe. Ido not know that 1 am able to insti- tate an Intelligent comparison, because to do that one ought to be quite famil- dar with the extent of the royal or im- Derial power to be measured with that of our president, and I have not suffi- cfent knowledge on the subject. A know something with respect to the ¥eal governing power of the king of England, and except in an Indirect ‘way the president's power far exceeds that of King George, and I think it ts Yery considerably more than that of the president of France. When, how- ever, one examines the imperial power in governments like Germany, Austria, Italy and Spain the question is much more dificult. and I presume no one ‘would say that the president's power ts equal to that of the czar of Russia. With us a president is elected for four years, and nothing can get him out of office except his death or his res- ignation—which never comes—or his impeachment. The certainty of his tenure for four years makes our execu- tive administration a Uttle more rigid and less subject to quick changes of Public opinion than in the parliamen- tary countries. 1 am inclined to think ‘that our system fs a good thing for cur country, however much parliamentary government may suit the countries where It is In use. Of course {t tas this advantage: In a parliamentary government there is a ‘union between the executive and the Jegistative branches, and they there. fore work together, because those who ‘constitute the executive Jead and di- rect the legislation, whereas in the Separation of the great branches of the government with us the president rep- resents the executive, congress the leg- islative and the courts the judicial branch, and the plan of the men who framed the constitution was to pre- serve these branches separately. ‘The president is able to recommend legislation to congress, and he may 70 in person to argue the wisdom of ft if he chooses. Mr, Wilson restored an old custom of that sort, which was abandoned by President Jefferson, and I think he was right in doing so. It emphasizes the president's recommen- @ations and focuses the eyes of the Peopte on that which be regards as im- portant to the public welfare, and it puts a Ereater responsibility on con- gress to give attention to his sugges- tions. . The British constitution gives the power of veto to the king. but it has not been exercised for more than two centuries, and were it attempted it would shake the throne. The exercise of the president’s veto always rouses eloquence on the part of those who are much disappointed at the defeat of the measure, and the walls of congress not infrequently resound with denuncla- tion of bis tyrannical exercise of a kingly prerogative. But the fact is it has come to be a more frequent characteristic of a re public than of a modern monarchy. For a king or an emperor to interpose a Veto to an act of the popular legisla- tare is really to obstruct the people's will, because he was not chosen by their votes, but inherited his royal power. He must indeed be careful in exercising a veto lest he incur a pro- test and arouse a feeling dangerous to bis dynasty. The case of the president 1s very dit: ferent. The constitution established by the people requires the president to witbhold his signature from a bill if he disapprove of it and return it with his objections to the house in which it orig. inated. for the president is quite a3 much the representative of the people as are the members of the two houses, Indeed, the whole people of the Unit- ed States is bis constituency, and he therefore speaks and acts for them quite as certainly as ‘the members elected from congressional districts or the senators from the etates He fs not exercising a kingly power in a veto. He fs acting in a representative capacity for the whole people and fs preventing a law that he thinks would work to the detrimént’of the whole country.

A Gurprice For « Hunter and Another For a Panther. An old bunter tells of a curious ex- perience he had some years ago in the Ozarks, He bad been tramping all morning when he came upon a grove of trees, and, feeling tired, be stretch- ed bimself in a shady spot and fell asleep. He says: ; “I woke a little Jater to find myself covered with leaves and small brush 1 was puzzled, sure enough, for 1 couldn't think what could bave cov- ered me up, but 1 decided to tind out. First I got a dead log about six feet long, Inid ft where I had slept and covered it with leaves and brush. 1 Jooked to see whether my gun “was joaded, and then 1 bid tn a clump of bushes sume twenty or twenty-tive yards away. After about twenty min- utes 1 heard a nolse. 1 peered ont of the bushes and saw a large she pan- ther coming through the trees, follow- ed by a quarter grown cub. She cir cled round the mound of leaves a cou- ple of times. The cub followed every action of its mother. After the sec- ond round the old panther crouched as if for a spring.. She crouched lower and lower and kept drawing her feet closer together, She kept her eyes fastened on the mound of leaves all the time and swayed ber tall from side to side with a slow, regular motion. “When she had gathered her feet as close together as she could she sprang for the pile of leaves. She landed in the very middle of the pile and gavo several long, wicked rakes with her hind feet. Then she began to smell and scratch in the leaves, It didn’t take her long to find out that there was nothing but an old log there, and she stopped scratching and began to Jook about. I thought that now was the time to settle matters. 1 was a Uttle to her left and behind her. I caught a sight just at the base of her ear and fired, She gave one leap and a shrill scream and then lay still. “after making sure that she was dead 1 looked for the cub. It was sit- ting near by on the side of = leaning tree, spitting and snarling angrily. I soon put an end to that with a rife ball, I never knew a man so well hunted as I was without being burt She probably took me for dead and covered me to keep other animals from finding me while she went after her cub.”—Yonth’s Companion. CAMELS IN WAR. Tamerlane Made a Curlous Use of ‘Them at. Dethi. _ ‘The camel has for centuries figured in the warfare of the east. History contains no more interesting example of the use of camels than that devised by the conqueror Tamerlane. This warrtor, born in the summer of 1336. son of a humble Asiatie chieftain, rose by the sharpness of wit and strength of arm to be master of twenty-seven Kingdoms extending from what is now the region of Moscow clear through India. ‘Tamerlane was a terrible fiz- ure and a mighty warrior. In those days men fought with brate force rath- er than with engines of war. The sword was the chief weapon of offense. After a mighty struggle Tamerlane made himself potentate over the im- mediate nations of Asian and gave to the city of Samarkand a brilliant place in history. One by one the Asiatic sul- tans came under his sway. India was the rich prize, and against it Tamer- Jane determined to move. This was in 1398. With his host he crossed the Indus, marthed to Delhi and stood in arms before the gates. The Indian sul- tan, at the bead of 50,000 soldiers and a herd of elephants, whose tusks bore polsoned swords, rushed upon the in- yaders. Tamerlane was sore pressed. and the battle might have gone against him had he nor fallen back on his camels. Hastily gathering a troop of the beasts, he had them loaded with hay. Then, setting the bay on fire, Tamerlane’s soldiers stampeded the camels toward the ranks of the Indl- ans, The elephants, at the sight of the blazing hay, wheeled round and fied Jn terror, scattering the Indian sultan’s army and insurlag the success of Tam- erlane.—Strand Magazine. . A Singular Marriage Feast. Polynesia 1s probably the only place in the world where the marriage feast takes place without the presence of the bridegroom. For sdme unexplained rea- son the young man is “sent Into the bush” when the bride becomes a mem- der of bis family, and he invariably remains there during the subsequent festivities, It 1s only when the guests have departed and the girl Js left alone with her parents that messengers are Gspatched for bim.

Rapidity With Which the Resorviat Responds to the Summons and ts Equipped For Action—Concentrating " the Troops at the Seat of War. 3 Putting a modern army lke that of Germany in the fleld involves two sep- arate processes, mobilization and con- centration. Mobilization consists not only in fitting out the men already awith the colors, or the standing army, bat more particularly of re-enlisting and equipping the additional men that are necessary to bring the standing army to war strength, which ts, roughly speaking, about twice its peace atrength., ‘The details of mobilization are very simple. Every reservist or landwehr man has a soldier's pocketbook con- taining explicit instructions as to what he has to do when called to the colors. He is moreover practiced in doing it at apaneuvers in time of peace. Various ‘means are employed for transmitting the call to individual men, but it is usually spread by rumor or by the press and anticjpated in execution. . ‘The young clerk, artisan, student ‘or teacher drops bis. vocation and betakes himself by a prescribed route to the depot. where he is furnished a brand new uniform and set of equipments. ‘Here he bas perhaps a few hours in ‘which to renew his military acquaint- anceship and to Inger with his ctvt- ian friends, his parents, brothers, sis- ters or sweetheart, if any of them have followed or joined him there. Asa re- servist of the first class he fs not likely to have a wife. ‘The mobilization being completed, the next step 1s the concentration. The assembly 1s sounded, the roll called— the last time on that ground for many a loyal name—the battallon is formed. It breaks Into column and, following the band to the strains of some foreign equivalent of “The Girl I Left Bebind Afe.” escorted by ‘throngs of youths and maidens, cheered and saluted with voice, flags and handkerchiefs from doorsteps, windows and housetops, tramps impressiyely—aye, how Impres- sively to many acheavy hearted wit- ness—through the town or city to the railway station. A few minutes for parting words, looks, embraces, and the embarkation Degins. In perhaps twenty minutes more dt is completed, the interval be- tween trains fs attained, a whistle, the train moves, fs off, is out of sight. This process 1s repeated until the whole fleld army is under way or at its destination: The unit of embarka- tion !s whnt one engine will draw, avhich, expressed in infantry, {s about a “thousand men. The distance be tween trains that fs necessary to safe- ty and efficiency may be taken as ten minutes. Under favorable conditions trains fol- low one another at this interval, with only necessary halts for refreshment and rest or exercise. The officers and some of the men‘ ride in passenger coaches. ‘he rest have to put up with improvised seats in freight cars— board benches built across the cars without backs. Both the point of debarkation and the zone of concentration must be at a safe distance within one’s own terri- tory and protected by troops which in peace as well as in war are on the frontier in full war strength. ‘These are called covering troops. At the end of the rallway Journey comes the debarkation. If this does not take place as fast as the trains ar- rive—and it 1s not likely to when they follow one another at intervals of ten minutes—allowance must be made for it in calculating the number of trains to be dispatched per line of railroad per day, or the rate of concentration. On debarking the troops, or many of them, are stiff and sore from long cramping on a hard seat and in poor condition for marching. So only after a rest are they moved by short marches {nto the zone of concentration. It is apparent from these general considera- tions that the railroads are factors of capital importance in seeking the ad- vant®@- of. the initiative, of determin- ing the general course of operations, for the enemy as well as for oneself. To secure and to keep this advantage both in strategy and In tactics has long beeen a frst principle of good general- | ship.—Major Jobn Bigelow, U. S. Ae Retired, In Century. | WOUNDED IN BATTLE. Mitery Moepitale Vo Not Al! Bem as In the Old Days, Kastly two-thirds of the pain snd suffering endured by the wounded in }war ts not due to the wounds them- ‘selves or to the process of healing, but to suppuration and Infection, and all this bas been absolutely wiped out by antiseptic surgery. ‘What military hospitals were Uke in the’pre-antlseptic days beggars descrip- tion and can hardly even be imagined, let alone belfeved. at the present day. Marlborough’s surgeon in the famous Blenheim campaign declared that bos Ditals were the most important cause pt death And a famous French sur- geon in 1741 declared thaf be bad known vastly more men to die in the hospitals from lack of care than to lose their lives in combat. and that “bos- Pitals are an unfathomable gujf; the source of their horrors uppears to be inexhaustible.” ‘Two patients in each bed was the rule and often three or even four. The hospitals were literally breeding places for disease. The dead- ly typhus fever used to be known as hospital fever, while tzpboid, dysen- tery, eryaipelas and gungrene fairly ran riot in them. Browning's charac- terization of the medieval hospital a3 “that good house that belps the poor to dic” was painfully accurate. Even as late as our war between the states, when the dreaded hospital gan- gtene once put in an appearance In a ward it was a sentence of death to be sent into that ward with an open wound, and in some instances from 40 to 60 per cent of all the inmates actually died.

BORN A FIGHTER. A French General Who Loved His Sol- diers and Proved It. a Many men have been good soldiers and brave commanders who, neverthe- less, had no relish for fighting. Gen- eral Oudinot, famous in the wars of Napoleon, was a warrior of another type. He seemed, at all events, to love war for its own sake. -His flery temper and bis Ideal of a soldier are well exemplified in the following: In July, 1805. when Oudinot was thir- ty-eight years old, the emperor revlew- ed the grenadiers at their camp at Boulogne. The customary maneuvers were performed, and at the end Gen- eral Oudinot, in command of the gren- adiers, started to march at the head of the line before Napoleon. He put the spurs to his horse, and the steed balked. The struggle was brief, for the exasperated general drew his sword and gave the horse such a stab in the neck that in another moment the horse lay stretched upon the sand. That night the commander of the grenadiers dined with the emperor, and in the course of the meal Napoleon sald: “Ig that the way you treat your horses?” “Sire,” said Oudinot, “when any one knows not how to obey that is my method.” ‘The other story is even more grim. Some one spoke to Oudinot about the deep affection which a general must chérish for his devoted troops. “Love them!” he exclaimed. “Do 1 Jove them? Ah, I think Ido. I have had them all killed!” ‘There spoke the born fighter, who shirked no danger himself, and ac- counted it the most enviable lot of a solder to die on the field. —Washington Star.

Heart strain may be brought on by many common, thoughtless actions of everyday life, as, for instance, running to catch a train. In an actual experi- ment made on a person with a healthy heart before the run the heart rate was seventy-six per minute and the heart was doing 152 foot pounds of work a minute; after the run the beart rate was 180 and the heart was doing 300 foot pounds a minute, an incrense of 228 foot pounds. Great strain may also be imposed upon the heart by ascend- ing stairs burriedly. Not only physical exertion, but emo- tions. affect the heart. “Keep your temper” is good medical advice, for when 2 person is angry the work his heart does may be increased as much as seventy-two foot pounds a minute Even after the emotion or exertion has ceased the heart continues to do ex- tra work for some time before it gets back to its normal rate. The amount of extra work the heart can do 1s surprising. Tests haveshown that in riding a bicycle at a rapid pace up a 10 per cent grade for half a mile the extra work impdésed on the heart would be sufficient to lift one and one- etghth tons one foor There are various ways by which we might save the heart work As the heart beats less rapidly when we are at rest we could save it 870,000 foot pounds of work a year by going to bed two hours earlier every night. Lying down half an hour daily would mean an annual saving of 219,000 foot pounds; an bour’s rest every Sunday vould save 62,400 foot pounds, and by staying in bed all day Sunday the an- nual saving would be nearly a million foot pounds.—Detro!t Free Press.

The importance of supporting Negro enterprises should be kept ever before our people. * * * While we should be mindful of the suffering ones in foreign lands and contribute to their needs, yet it is more charitable to care for the ones that are in our midst. \* \* \* The more than forty thousand Negroes in this county could do so.much for race progress if they would only bind their endeavors and unstintingly support every Negro enterprise and merchant. \* \* \* There is no reason whatever for a fourteen year old or any other age boy to have in his possession a pistol. It is equally as unlawful for an older person. The carrying of concealed weapons of any kind is reprehensible and should be frowned down. \* \* \* President Wilson has been severely scored by many of the leading newspapers on account of his segregation ideas.

When the Creator had made all good things, there was still some dirty work to do, so He made the beasts and reptiles and poisonous insects, and when He had finished He had some scraps that were too bad to be put in the rattle snake, the hyena, the scorpion and the skunk, so He put all these together! covered it with suspicion, wrapped it with jealousy, marked it with yellow streak, and called it a KNOCKER.— Ex. \*\*\* If it is necessary for the young white men to have lectures on various subjects each week, the white public to have the same from well known speakers at various times during the year; for the white ladies to have their several organizations where different subjects are discussed, and institutions where the young folks are taught uplifting ideas, it is even more so for us to have the same. \* \* \* It is left to a brave Savannah white lady to say that she is not afraid of Negro domination. She is in favor of "votes for women" and is not afraid for the same privilege to be given the colored women. The white politicians all over the South have been holding "Negro domination" as a bugbear to keep their timid voters in line. The time is coming when this will be entirely exploded and the white women are showing it by their fearless utterances. \* \* \* In Nashville, Tenn., all of the colored men in a given block gave a business carnival on Monday. It was in the nature of "open house" from 12 o'clock noon until late at night. Suitable souvenirs were given and every thing was done to boost the colored enterprises. Our men in Nashville are to be commended for this spirit in going after the people. Those of us, in other places, Savannah for instance, should catch this spirit and boost along its lines.

Wright STANDARD-LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY Begs to state that it has reinsured its Industrial Life business in the State of Georgia, with the American National Insurance Company of Galveston, Texas.. It feels that owing to the large number of friends which the Company has made, that a short statement of facts is due the public. As is commonly known, Standard Life was organized some two years ago with a paid in capital of One Hundred Thousand Dollars, for the express purpose of writing old line, legal reserve insurance on the Ordinary plan. Later owing to connections formed with another Company, it did. write in Kentucky and Tennessee. Health business, and began the writing of Industrial business in all the States where it was then operating. When we filed our December 1913 reports during the months of January and February with the various Insurance Departments it became apparent to us from their replies that they did not look with favor on the Industrial and health branches of our business. Shortly after we had to tight inimical legislation in one State aimed directly at our business. While another commissioner flatly ordered us to cease our Health business, stipulating a time which we must do it... When an Insurance Commissioner makes a ruling, there is no appeal. We sold that business. Later our enimeis gave us so much trouble and subjected us to so much expense, threatening legislation in the Georgia legislature, that we were practically obliged to sell a very valuable debit in Kentucky. These transactions so reduced our agency force that we were unable to handle the Industrial Life business in these States without a very heavy and disproportionate expense, and made a transfer of all our weekly business necessary. At the annual meeting of the stockholders in July, all these facts were submitted to those assembled. We had been left with only the one State of Georgia, which we decided, if possible, to retain. For 18 months past, the Company had been endeavoring to enter Texas where there are no colored companies, and where even the Metropolitan does not operate. For one reason or another our application had been put off and postponed without being denied. There was apparently some reason we did not understand. What this reason was, in the light of our experience in other States, shortly dawned on us. It therefore became a question of either retaining our Industrial feature or coming back to the original plans of the Company, and doing only Ordinary insurance, with no opposition to our admission into, or existence in any State. The directors seeing the opposition and the unusual amount of time and labor required to conduct this part of the work, decided to go out of the Industrial Insurance business. We have been admitted into Texas, and our Ordinary business has taken a long leap ahead, the premium receipts of which have been greater this month than before in our history. We have now about a Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars worth of insurance Paid For and In Force. We tried to dispose of our industrial business to a colored company. There was only one colored company in Georgia which could handle it. We laid our proposition before them and it was accepted. The contracts were signed and sent to the Insurance Department of Georgia for approval. The Department refused to approve the transfer, stating their objections. We took up with the reinsuring company the Department's ruling and endeavored to correct the apparently erroneous impression the Commissioner had regarding them. Before this could be corrected, the reinsuring Company decided to cancel the agreement. No other recourse was open but to sell to a white company who had for a long time been apparently eager to get this business. We realize there would be some people who would criticise. But these same people are the kind who usually talk race pride and do business elsewhere. Sentiment and business do not mix as well as they sound. The complete protection of our policy holders as we our selves had protected them was our first thought. We secured for them that protection. During the time Standard Life has been in business it has paid 52 Industrial death claims for the sum of $6,334. It has paid 4 Ordinary claims amounting to $2,250; a total of $8,584. Everyone of these claims were paid promptly and without dispute. Some were suspicious but rather than seem too technical we paid them just the same. Some others manifestly fraudulent, we contested and won. In every case, we sought to protect the large body of our policyholders. We have in 18 months established Standard Life on a firm and substantial basis. The Consulting Actuary of the Georgia Insurance Department, who examined our books and methods twice, said recently in the presence of a number of white insurance officials: "Standard Life is the most careful managed company in the state, and all records are clean and correct." That is high praise from one who knows. We know too, that we have the approval of the right thinking men and women of the race. Standard Life is today bigger, better, stronger than ever before in its life. It has a larger paid-in capital than any. Negro corporation in the world. It has $1,250,000 insurance in force, nearly $30,000 in legal reserve, and assets of nearly $150,000 for the protection of its policyholders. It is the only old line legal reserve life insurance company in the world, every dollar of whose stock is owned by Negroes. It is in a class by itself, in competition with no other colored company. It has not gone out of business. Its soundness is beyond question and its success is assured. It will insure you from $250.00 to $5,000.00 on the Ordinary Limited Payment or Endowment plans.

AMONG THE MASONS The good that Masonry does in every community is incalculable. * * * A Masonic lodge is the advance guard of civilization in all lands. * * * Masonry, though old, is ever young. Its teachings will live forever. * * * Let us all unite in making this one of the very best years for Masonry by promoting harmony and brotherly love. * * * In this age of greed for gain and worldly applause we forget that we are but mortals, and may be called at any moment to settle our account with the Great I Am. Let us all stop and take reckoning of where we are and what our chance for the future, for that day of reckoning will surely come sooner or later for you and me. Don't dry up and shrivel up and become sour and selfish. Give some time and means to the institutions that make life worth living and bless the race. If you would be happy and do good in the world, get into every good thing a-going and push and pull to make it go better. Never forget that your own pleasure should be the last consulted. The girth of a man who follows the Golden Rule of life grows larger day by day.—Herald. Masonry Optimistic Masonry, with its sublime belief in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, breathes a spirit of pure optimism. Masonry believes the world is growing better, not worse. Looking back over the centuries that have passed, with their periods of almost barbaric savagery, of religious and political intolerance, of wars of conquest, of man's inhumanity to man, Masonry sees future full of brightness and hope. Needless to recount the condition of the world today. While much is yet to be desired, while here and there are instances of national and individual degeneracy, yet the good outweighs the evil, and the spirit of peace and brotherhood is fast prevailing over the brutality of the past. In the contest for righteousness, Maçonry is a living and vital factor. It, therefore, behooves us as individual Masons to contribute by our words, our works and our lives towards the uplifting of humanity and the glory of our common father.

To the person that holds the Lucky Number at Harris St. Hall, In Memoriam In sad heart-felt memory of our dear loved one, FRANK WASHINGTON, Sr., who departed this life, November 28th, 1912. Dearest father, we have laid thee In thy peaceful grave to rest; But thy memory will be cherished, Till we see thy heavenly face; Sleep on loved one, and take thy rest; We love thee, but God loved you best. You love the Lord, the Savior and your God, Sleep on dear love one, sleep on Mrs. Frank Washington, wife. Mrs. Fred Mills, daughter. Mrs. Annie Lloyd daughter. Miss M. Washington, daughter Mr. Chus. Washington, son. In memorial of my husband, GEO. W. BECKETT One precious ones from us have gone, The voices we loved are stilled; The vacant places in our homes Can never more be filled. God in His wisdom has recalled, The ones His love has given, And though his body slumbers here, His soul is safe in heaven The golden gates were opened wide, A gentle voice said come; And angels from the other side, Welcomed our loved one home Wife and Children. In loving remembrance of our dear friend and comrade. JAMES I. GREENE, Jr., who died in the Phillipine Islands Nov ember 23, 1913. James, Oh James! how we miss you, We adored you with friendship and love Often we sink into thoughts of a relic, Of ong drifting to realms above. One year ago James, you left us, Then by your dear Lord's command. You ceased to give earthly devotions, To dwell in angel land. Though short years may be ours dear friend. From our homes and our friends to depart. Still for one who has gone on before us. Sad memories remain in our hearts. His friends from Savannah, Halbert Riley, Robert B Thompson, Atwell Sampon, Willie Rosers, Edward Green. 24th U. S. Infantry, Manila. P. I. In sad but loving memory of our son and brother, JAMES I. GREENE, Jr, who altered in the Philipine Islands, Nov. 23, 1913. We all miss, but we shall meet him, There is but one more vacant chair. We shall never more caress him, After our evening prayer. When a year ago he left us, Sadness filled our hearts and eyes; For the golden rod was severed, And our hope in ruin lies. At our fireside sad and lonely, Offen do our bosom swell; At remembrance of the manner In which our dear James fell. How to us he was a comfort, And to all his friends alike; He upheld his country's honor, In the strength of manhood might True, 'tis said that wreathes of glory Fier more shall deck his brow; But ifitis soothes the anguish only, Sweeping o'er our heart-string now.

A Philadelphia schoolteacher has lately been instructing her pupils in Grecian mythology. It is the plan to have the children read the tales aloud and the next day recount them in their own language. One lad, to whom was given the assignment to render in his own language the story of the Gorgons, did so in these terms: "The Gorgons were three sisters that lived in the islands of the Hesperides, somewhere in the Indian ocean. They had long snakes for hair, tusks for teeth and claws for nails, and they looked like women, only more horrible."—Lippincott's. A Bismarck Retort. 'After Emperor William I. had returned Bismarck's resignation with the word "Never" written boldly across it Bismarck spoke again of his falling strength to the emperor. "I am much older than you," said William, "and I am still strong enough to ride." "Yes, your majesty," said Bismarck, "the rider usually outlasts the horse." —Exchange. Walrus Tusks. The walrus never slips upon the glarest ice, for his tusks steady him. That is the chief use of his tusks—to help him to climb up the sheer and glassy sides of floes. He uses his head as a hammer—bang!—and, fixing his tusks in, he draws up his soft body—a strange sight to see. Greek Painters. There were several great painters in ancient Greece, and it is rather difficult to say which was the greatest. It is possible that the honor might go to Apelles, 332 B. C.-New York American.

A camel is never relieved of its load from the beginning of the journey to its end. It eats, walks and sleeps under its burden, often for weeks at a time.

SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson X—Fourth Quarter, For : . Dec. 6, 1914.’ THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Mark xvi, 1-8; Matt. xxviii, 11-15—Memory Verses, 6, 7—Golden Text, Luke xxiv, 5, 6 Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. “Tye resurrection from the dead is the crowning event In all His work, for if Christ be not risen faith is vain, preaching is vain, no one {s saved: there is no forgiveness of sins (I Cor. xv, 14-18). But before we consider His resurrection we must look at some in- cidents in cohnection with His death and burial which we bave passed over. Note the women who ministered to Him, who followed Him, who looked on afar off as He was crucified, who beheld where His dead body was laid and returned and ptapared spices to anoint it when the Sabbath Was past QMark xv, 40-47; Luke“Sxill, 55). ‘They loved Tim greatly, but did not believe that He would rise from the dead, so those’ spices were in a meas- ure love's Inbor lost becduse of unbe- Mef. Note the pierced side, the blood and water with all their Scriptural suggestions and the fulfilled Scriptures about His being plerced and not a bone broken (John xix, 31-37; Zech. xil, 10; Ex. xii, 46). ‘The boldness of Joseph and Nicode- (mus at a time when all others seemed to fall, the new tomb. the loving min- istry and the fulfilled Seripture con- cerning His grave being with the rich in His death are a fascinating record (Luke xxii, 50-53: Jobn xix, 38-42; Isa. AM, 9). It would appear from Matt. xxvil, €2-66, that some of the Pharisees re- membered, as His disciples did not. that He had spoken of rising again after three days and therefore they had His tomb sealed. Our lesson verses give us only the beginning of the resurrection story. They tell us of the coming of the women to the tomt very early in the morning on the first day of the week to anoint His body, wondering who would roll away the stone for them. How often we find the stone which we thought would hinder us rolled away when we reach the place! We read of an earthquake when He died, but this is another one at His resurrection (Matt. xxvil, Si: xxviii, 2). Inanimate nature is moved by these events while the heart of man remains harder than the rocks. Some day we sball see these angels; whose coun- tenances are like lightning and thelr raiment white as snow, and we, too, shall shine as the sun (Matt. xxviii, 3-4; xiil, 43). We should be reflecting more of His glory now in these mortal bodies (II Cor. ili, 18). How beautiful it is that the first Word from the angel to these devoted women was “fear not” or “be not” affrighted (verses 5, G; Matt. xxviii, 5, 6). So He Himself said to the other women after Ho had appeared to Mary, as He allowed them to hold Him by the feet and worship Him, “Be not afraid; go tell My breth- ren” (Matt. xxviii, 9, 20). ‘With similar words He'spoke to the disciples in the upper room that even- ing, saying: “Peace be unto you. Why are ye troubled? Behold my hands and my feet that it is I Myself” (Luke xxiv, 36-10). Even though we fail and fersake Him He has only words of peace and comfort for us. Matthew and Mark speak of one angel; Luke and John speak of two, but there is no discrepancy, for if there were two there was certainly one, whether the disciples or women saw one or two. Neither is there any discrepancy in the seemingly different positions of the angels, for they can move about more easily than we can. The words of the angel concerning Jesus, “He is risen, He is not here" (verse 6), are some- times used by ministers at a funeral concerning the dead, but that is a wrong use of the words, for they refer to the resurrection, mot to the burial “of the body. How very gracious it was of the “ord to tell the angel to send by the womnn a special message to Peter and then to give Peter a special persona! bgtarvlew (verse 7; Luke xsiv, 34) atter all his base dental of his Master. It Is always so—wenkest lambs have largest share of their tender shep- herd’s care. The angels reminded the women that Jesus had said that He would be crucified and the third day rise again, and yet when the women told the disciples that He was risen their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not (Luke aviv.

On Feb. 24, 188 when Paris was disturbed by ‘the revolutionary mob, a Captain Prebols was sent by the government with orders to be de- Uvered to the leaders of the troops that were defending the threatened points in various parts of the city. It was a dangerous undertaking. for the bitterness of the people against the government was intense. Before starting out Captain Prebols was wared to take the greatest care if he valued his life, but he took the warnings lightly and said: “If you fel- lows knew my black horse a3 well as I know bim you wouldn't worry about me. That horse bas carried me through thick and thin.” ‘The black horse of which the gallant captain was so proud was Indeed a beautiful animal. But there was some- thing very extraordinary avout bis tail. It was long and bushy, but it never moved -ur twitched. except with the movement of the animal's body. ‘When Prebois arrived In the disturb. ed section of the city he fearlessly de- livered his message. He met with n0 resistance from the crowds in the streets until he reached the Place Ven. ‘dome. Here a great crowd of revolu- tlonists had gathered. One selzed the ‘bridle and cried tn a fierce voce: ““Hold!' What message are you carry- ing?" ‘The captain refused to answer. “Put a bullet through him and get that mes- sage!” bawled out the man In a com- manding voice. He was evidently a leader of the mob. At this point the captain determined that quick action alone, would save him from violence at the hands of the crowd. Quick as a finsh he wheeled his horse and dashed off. Several bul- Jets flew after bim, but they went wild and then suddenly ceased altogether. He looked round and saw the mob crowding round one of thelr number, who held something In his hand. And then his eyes fell on the back of his horse and his heart sank in dismay. It seems that as be whirled his horse about several men seized hold of the animal But the powerful creature threw them all except one, a lad of fourteen, who selzed the horse's tall That tail was the object of interest that bad caused the shooting to stop, for it bad comé off. ‘There stood the boy, in the middle of the road, with his feet spread apart and an expresston of grim determination on his face as he tightly clutched the fleeing crea. ture’s tail The mob saw the humor of the situation and burst into a roar of laughter. The explanation came out later. I seems that Captain Prebols’ horse, while perfect in every other particnlar, did not have a very good tail, and sc his master had an artificial one made for him. No doubt that artificial tail | and that alone, saved Captain Prebols 7 Brutal Black George. No rougher customer ever occupied 2 throne than Servia’s first raler, Black George. Except when under the 1n- fluence of wine or the smell of gun- powder, he was habitually moody and dangerous to cross. When his aged father thwarted his wishes he drew a pistol and shot him through the head: When his mother tried to cheat him over a beehive he bonneted her with it and stalked off, regardless of het shrieks of puin. Black George was ad- mirable as an administrator, scrupu- lously just in all his dealings—outside of the family circie—and as brave and disinterested a patriot as ever lived After brillfant victories he would re turn to his squalid home, empty band. ed, and resume the uneventful life of a pig breeder.

D. M, Stearns. We have seen our blessed Lord In the hands of the band who arrested Him; in the hands of. the religious [hypocrites called chief priests and scribes and elders; in the hands of the Roman governor, who chose to please the people rather than do what he knew to be right, and now He Is in the hands of the soldiers whose orders are to kill Him. They crucified the Lord of Glory @ Cor. ti, 8). They hud no pity, and He could truly say, “I looked for some to take pity, but there was none, and for comforters, but I found none” (Ps. Ixix, 20, 21). | Let us consider Him in the hands of the soldiers, and through it all let our hearts keep saying. “For me, all ‘for me, that I, redeemed by His great sacrifice, might learn how to bear something for His sake and be con- jtent to be killed all the day long.” See the whole band gathered about | Him, clothing Him with purple, | crowning Him witb thorns, putting a ‘reed in His right hand. mockingly saloting Him as king of the Jews, ,smiting Him and spitting upon Him. | Then they took off the purple and put His own clothing on Him and Jed Him out to crucify Him, and He, bearing His cross, went forth (verse 20; Jobn xix, 17. Imagine, if you can, what it meant to have clothing roughly put on and removed from a scourged back and to have a heavy | cross laid upon ft, Did you ever take @ piece of cloth from a wound un- healed? Then think of Him. ; The story of Simon the Cyrenlan compelled to bear the cross—His cross |—seems to indicate that Jesus elther stumbled because of weakness or fainted under His beavy load and sut- ferings. Simon was coming out of the country into the city, but had to turn back and bear a little for .Christ’s sake, When we are turned about in our plans or coimpelled by adverse people or circumstances to do differently from what we had intend- | ea it will hetp us to remember Simon and say, “Amen, O Lord.” { It is recorded in Luke xxii, 27-32, ‘that a great company of>people and of’ women followed Him, bewailing j and Jamenting Him, and that He sad to the women, “Daughters of Jerusa- Jem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children,” and He told them of the terrible days ahead of them, which days and things ,in due time came upon their city. Even more terrible things such as nev- ler have been or ever will be again | are awaiting this world, but few be I Weve it (@fatt. xxIv, 21; Zeph, 1, 14-19; i, 8; Isa. xfil, 9-13). Luke also tells us in the same pas- sage that there were two malefactors led with Him to be put todeath. Thus He was numbered with transgressors (isa. lili, 12). and we inust be content- ed to be so numbered for His sake. If we will Jet Him live His life in us we must be content to suffer with Wim and to be miscalled, misjudged, | misunderstood, falsely accused and in every way ill treated for'all who vill | Uve godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution (II Tim. Sif, 12). They came to the place of crucifix. fon, the place of a skull, called in | Matthew, Mark and Jobn “Golgotha” and in’ Luke “Calvary.” and there |, they crucified Him, on either side one | of the malefactors and Jesus in the | midst. Never did so few words have | such awful significance. ‘The Son of | God. the Holy One of Isracl, treated | as the vilest criminal, but it was for ‘us He suffered, let each one say “for ; me,” and consider, if you can, the cost of your redemption. It was all foretold, the plerced hands and feet, the parted garments, | the casting of lots and all else (Ps. i xxii, Isa, lil and elsewhere). Though God foresaw it all, that did not mitl- ‘ gate the guilt of cruel hands (Acts Hf, 23; iv. 27, 28). He was crucified at ‘the third hour, or 9 a. m. (verse 25). ; The passersby railed on Him, the chief | Brlests and scribes mocked Him. the | soldiers also mocked Him and offered j Him vinegar, and they’ that were cru. cifled with Him reviled Him (verses 25-32; Luke xxill, 3638.

It was just last week that the business manager, Jas. H. Butler, of the Savannah Tribune, the local “daddy” boos- ter of ail the boosters of Negro enterprises in this community, was kind enough to show the ‘writer a number of letters re- ceived from Negro business pro- moters, whose attention has been attracted toward Savannah be- cause of the fact that the Negro business’ league was awake to their interest and accepted the space gratuitiously tendered them by that big hearted public spirit- ed editor of The Savannah’ Trib- uné, Sol.

The smoke of battle will clear away. Men will say that the nations have learned their lesson, and that war will not come again. But tle great ele- ments of unrest will be with them yet. There will be still that dis- tress of nations with perplexity, ‘which .Christ foretold would herald His coming. And cvent- ually the te-kindoms of Europe will confedeate. 5 These nations will give their power and authority into the hands of the Papacy, for the pur- pose of uniting the world and des~ troying those remaining loyal to God, will accept worldly policy or adopt worldly methods. Rev. 17 212-13. ~The history of the world is ‘given in, the second chapter of Daniel, and ends with a prophecy concerning the nations of Europe. lif this the king had a dream. Either he could not recall his dream, or else he refused to do so, and placed upon his wise men the responsibility of telling him what he had dreamed, and then inter- preted the meaning of it. When | they were unable to do this, the 'king decreed their death; but Daniel asked for time, and then, with his companions, went to God in prayer. The secret was re- vealed to Daniel in a vision of the night, Verse 19. Then Daniel went to the king, and gave him both the dream and interpreta- , tion. i In this dream the king saw a great image. |ts head was of gold, its breast and arms of silver, its sides and thighs of brass, its legs of iron, its feet part of iron .and part clay. A stone was cut without hands and smote the im- age upon the feet of iron and clay, jand as a result, all the metal of the image ‘was broken in pieces. It became like chaff, and was blown away, while the stone be- came a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. In the interpretation of this dream by Daniel, we find that the head of gold represents Babylon; | the breast and arms of silver rep- resented Medo-Persia ; the sides, | thighs of brass represented Gre- ‘| cia; the legs of iron represented | Rome; and the feet part of iron and part of clay represented th: ‘| divided kindom of Rome—that is ‘I the ten kindoms, more or less, o1 Europe in our own times. Then we are told that in the '| days of these kings—or kingdoms »]—which occupy the territory o!

Now at the very time when we began to hope that the nations would hold together in one great peace propagander: we find them suddenly, as it were, grappling in awful death struggle for suprem- acy. Civilization, so-called, is found to contain within the seeds of an ambition that divides men to fight like beasts, and to deluge the world with blood. In a little way from this, when some of the nations are but wrecked in this awful war, peace will come again for a little time. The smoke of battle will clear away. Men will say that the na- tions have learned their lessons, and the war will never come again. . . But the great elements of un- rest Jwill be with them yet. There will be still the distress of nations with perplexity, which Christ foretold would herald His second coming. And eventually the kingdoms of Europe will con- federate.
