The second monthly report cards given out in the public schools were-issued Tuesday and showed the average work done by the pupils to be satisfactory.

Instead of publishing the first four pupils in each grade, as last month, the number has been increased to six.” The children are taking much interest in the publication of this report and it has been stated by several of the teachers that the pupils in general have shown a disposition to improve their wor in order that their names may ap- pear among the leaders of their respective classes.

At a meeting Monday night of the executive committee of the local * branch of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, it was decided to repeat this year the raising of a Christmas fund to be distributed among the poor and! indigent Negroes of the city. » The campaign of the league last year for Christmas funds was very successful, resulting in a total amount of $552.10 being raised, the Negroes contributing $484.05 and white friends giving $68.05. The number of baskets sent out by the league on last Christmas eve day was 52q. Aside from this there were 7% pairs of shoes distributed, blank- ets, clothing and toys, and 30 loads of wood were provided for. In all about 7oo families were assisted. Several subscriptions to this year’s fund have already been received and the league hopes to raise equally‘as much this year as last year. si A permanent charity fund for alleviation of suffering among the poor has been started by the league. The work which’ the league has accomplished here compares favorably with _ that done in other cities where it ha: been inaugurated; and the leaguc will be pleased to have as many friends as_ possible contri. bute to the Christmas fund whict it has*started.

Nov. 30—A majority of the Supreme Court to-day joined in an opinion that the Oklahgma “Jim Crow” law proviso permitting railroads to | Firnish sleeping, dining and chair car accomodations only to” the Iwhite race was unconstitutional, but they did not so decreq be- cause cof imperfection in the, peti- tion on which the casé reached the courts. The case was one in which five Negroes. claiming the entire flaw unconstitutional, sought an injunction to restrain five rail- roads in Oklahoma from enforc- ings it. The Oklahoma federal court dismissed the petition, hold- ing the petition the law unconsti- tutional, The majority of the court affirmed the dismissal to- day because the Negroes had not shown they had applied to the railroads for accommodation un- der the law or that the railroads had notified them that they would |be refused certain accommoda- --tions. The majority, through {Justice Hughes, stated , however, jthat they could not agree with |e lower court that the provi- ‘Ision as to sleeping, dining and |seaie cars was unconstitutional. ‘1A minority—Chief Justice White ‘land Justices Holmes, Lamar and in the order of affirmance but ex. {pressed no views on the constitu- | tional question. '|_ In the opinion by the majority ‘| Justice Hughes stated that pre- “vious decisions that laws for sep- farate coaches for the two race: {were constitutional were not tc ,|be questioned. He then set fort! the reasons- for the opinion that y|the Jower court was wrong ir yj holding the provision constitu- ) | tional. »| “The reasoning is,” said he ; “that there may not be enough } persons of African descent seek: ) ing these accommodations _ tc y, Warrant the outlay in providing y'them. This argument with re. | spect to-the vale of the traffic y|seems to be without merit.

The court did not intimate "| Whether in a proper case it would ‘jmerely hold “luxury” car sec- [ton unconstitutional, or whether Jit would decide that this section .jbeing unconstitutional the entire “ilaw must fall.

Cash) of Congregational churches, | Georgia, convened with thd First Church of Augusta, Rev. J. ‘T. Clemons, pastor and Rev. J. W. Holloway, moderator, Augusta, the host of the convention is a finely laid out city, with a num- ‘ber off parks. Summerville, on ‘Sand Hills, overlooking the city, and about four hundred feet above | the sea level, is a suburb of hand- somie villas, cottages and some fine hotels, and is a well known health resort. The chief educa- tional institutions are the Geor- gia Medical College, Richmond ‘Academy and Sacred Heart Aca- demies, and the Walker Baptist and Haines Institutes and Payne College for colored students. Among the charitable institutions are-the Orphan Asylum, Louise King Home for white and and colored patients. Here we find also the home of the Georgia Mutual and Pilgrim Health and Life Insurance Companies which give employment to a large force of men and women béth in ‘the office and in the field as superin- tendents and agents. : Besides the welcome addresses on the part of the churches by Rev. T. H. Dwelle and Miss Mam- ie C .Jackson, Hon. L. C. Haynes, mayor of the city was present and extended a cordial welcome to the delegates on behalf of the City of Augusta. The annual sermon was: preached by Rev. Chas. W. Burton of Macon. The main themes for consideration were, “The plans of the church for the ‘current year,” “The intensive and jexténsive development of the church life both in the city and country” and “The war and the quest of world peace.” These topics were discussed from vari- our points of view by appointed speakers. Rev. D. J. Flynn of Charlotte, N. C., was present and outlined his plan of work and mis- sion among the churches. Rev. Flynn has recently beén appointed by the American Missionary As- sociation as one of its four super- intendents of church work in the South, his field being the churches in the state of North Carolina and South Carolina and Georgia. <A forward movement of importance for the laymen was the adoption of a resolution recommending the organization of local Brother- hoods in all the churches with a view to a state organization in the near future. The 6th annual session of the Congregational Sunday schools and Y. P. S. of Christian Endeav- ors, of which Prof, L. S.

The reports from the societies were excellent and the collection for missionary purposes was larger than in previous years. A council called by the First Church of Macon to examine and grdain Mr. Chas. W. Burton. whom the church had called to its pastorate sometime ago was held on Satufday.

Members of the local Seventh Day Adventist Church No. 2, were greatly cheered over the remarkable progress their denomination, has made in various ways during the pass year as given in a report that has just been received from the statistical secretary of the General Conference, the governing body, which has its headquarters in Washington, D. C. There has been a large increase in the membership to the extent of more than eight thousand, a wonderful growth in the tithes and offerings, and the movement itself has penetrated into a number of new countries until the heralding of the message telling of the soon coming of the Savior, which is one of the principal beliefs of the church, is now being sounded in 53 countries. The report which was sent by Mr. H. E. Rogers is as follows: Funds to the amount of $2,860,727.40 (two million dollars etc.) a per capita of $23.42 for each communicant, were contributed for evangelistic work in the Seventh Day Adventist denomination during the last fiscal year. The net increase over the amount received for the preceding year was $864, 38, the per cent of increase being 6.10. Of the total amount contributed, $2,079,238.07 (72.28 per cent) in Europe; $12,272.70 (43 per cent) in Asia; and $279,796.93 (9.76 per cent) in all other countries. There was received in tithes, $1,771,989.60, or 61.81 per cent; in offerings $640,373.29; by Sabbath schools in contributions to foreign missions, $201,711.76 or 10.18 per cent; by church schools for their maintenance, $138,272.55, or 4.82 per cent. The per capita for the 71,863 communicants in North America was $28.93; for 50,525 communicants outside of North America, $15.58 an average of $23.42. Since this denomination was organized fifty-one years ago there has been contributed for evangelistic work alone a total of $28,585,409.96. Of this amount, $19,720,490.66 (89.99 per cent) has been tithes; $2,009,206.65 (7.03 per cent) has been Sabbath school offerings (of which 80.99 per cent has been contributed for foreign missions) $3,751,154.65 (13.05 per cent) has been foreign mission offerings; and $3,124,549.00 (10.93 per cent) has been home mission offerings. Of that amount $22,279,943.29 (77.94 per cent) was contributed in North America and $6,305,446.67 (22.06 per cent) was raised outside this country. There was a gain of 8,180 in membership for the year which is the largest gain ever recorded in any year since this work begun. In North America there were 71,863 communicants; in Europe 31,772; in Asia 2,713; in other countries, 16,038. The total baptisms during the year were 12,794 The difference between the number added by baptism and the net gain is 4,614. Deducting the number of deaths, there is left a relatively small number of apostasies from the faith. It is a cause of great satisfaction to note the large number of baptisms during 1913, the number being the largest accounted for in any year. The number of churches at the close 1913 was 3,589. This is a gain of 715 or 24.57 per cent. The number of new church members added in 1913 was 16,513. This number is greater than the entire membership of the denomination eighteen years after its organization. It may be explained that a number of members which were transferred during 1913 from companies was 8,333. Deducting this amount from 16,513, the new church members added during the year, there is left the net gain in communicants, members of churches, companies and other Sabbath keepers namely, 8,180. The report further says that the denomination is operating in 85 different countries through the force of labors 734 persons, and the total denomination literature sales for the year was $1,809,714.40. This literature is issued in the form of a approximately 300 bound books, 325 pamphlets, 1,200 tracts 128 periodicals, in 8 different languages the total literature sales from the time this work was organized approximate $19,550,590.02. As previously noted, this literature is distributed by 2,060 colporteurs, 805 of who are in North America, and 1,255 in other countries. Work is being conducted orally in all the 85 countries covered by this cause in 107 languages and dialects. The total number of young people's Missionary Voluntary Societies stand at 964, with a membership of 19,428, with an annual increase of 5,400 or 38.50 per cent. The per cent of members belonging to these societies as related to the entire number of the communicants is the highest yet attained, being 15,88. The total contribution for the year $24,380.20, being $1.25 for each member of these societies. Of this amount $13,432.49 was contributed for foreign missions. DORMITORY , DEDICATED Dr Booker T. Washington Speaks at Snow Hill Snow Hill, Ala., Nov. 19—Snow Hill Institute celebrated its 20th Anniversary and dedicated a new dormitory for the female students. This school is the off-shoot of Tuskegee Institute. The new building was dedicated as the Bedford-Collins Memorial Hall, in honor of the late Rev. R. C. Bedford of Beloit, Wis., and Miss Ellen Collins of New York City. These two white people gave the bulk of the money for the erection of this building, while the rest was raised by the contribution of people throughout the country who are interested in Negro education. Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee Institute delivered the dedication address in a plain, practical and forceful manner. He spoke as follows: This day and occasion marks the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Snow Hill Normal and Industrial Institute by Mr. William J. Edwards. It is fitting that this day should be celebrated by the dedication of this new building to be used for the benefit of the institution. It is also fitting that so large a number of both races and of all conditions should be gathered to take part in this celebration and should manifest by their presence the interest which they feel in the work of the Snow Hill Institute. The Tuskegee Institute has just reason to feel proud of the history and achievements of the Snow Hill Institute, being founded by Principal William J. Edwards, 20 years ago, just after he had graduated from Tuskegee Institute. No one, twenty years ago, could have the slightest conception that a young man, who found his way to Tuskegee could have come here without money and prestige and have started a work that within twenty years could have grown into the magnitude that this has. Beginning with practically no property, twenty years ago, the Institution now owns 1,900 acres of land, 22 buildings, its physical property being valued at $120,000, besides it has 340 students and 33 instructors. From the academic, religious and industrial departments it has sent out hundreds of men and women fitted to serve the world in useful directions. The institution is not only to be congratulated for the growth in these directions, but because of the numerous friends, black and white, in the North and in the South who have come to its support. The institution is also to be congratulated because of the fine, devoted, unselfish type of teachers who have stood by it and are standing by it often in the face of privation, meager salary and uncertain payments even of the salary though meager. 4 I have referred to the devotion of the teachers and of our own people, as well as the white people in general, in the building of the Snow Hill Institute, but my remarks in this direction would incomplete and also meaningless unless I referred especially to the debt of gratitude which all of us owe to that devoted and great citizen of whom all people in Wilcox County are proud, Mr. R. O. Simpson, and his part in making the existence and the work of Snow Hill Institute possible. For what Mr. Simpson has done and is doing, Wilcox County and the State of Alabama should always feel a deep sense of gratitude. The building which we are dedicating to-day bears the name of Robert C. Bedford, a great and devoted man, great in his simplicity, great in his earnestness, great in his faith in the future of both races in the South. It is most fitting and proper then, that a building located here in the Black Belt of the South should bear the name of Robert C. Bedford. Institutions, like individuals, should have a definite object in life in order to justify their existence and I want to discuss with your permission for a few minutes, the following question: What should education, through an institution like Snow Hill accomplish for the race or for an individual? First of all, education though such an institution should try to impart to the people, to its students, common sense; that is, to make them. see the opportunities and conditions that exist right about them. Some of the best educated people I have seen, I mean so far as book education is concerned, are people with the least common sense, the least able to use their education in making condition better for themselves and their fellows right about them. The Snow Hill Institute has not made this mistake. It is imparting to its students common sense, that kind of common sense that makes them useful wherever they locate. Education, too, should enable one to make a living not be a burden upon his community, able to lift himself by his own boot straps. Education, as the Snow Hill Institute understands it, is meant to help our people in their own communities to go into the soil, and through the medium of the farm the garden and the shop and the home to become self sustaining, producers rather than a burden to the community. Education should enable one, too, to exercise that degree of self control that will make him settle down in some one community and make a reputation there for sobriety, for industry, honesty and frugality, so that he will have the respect and the confidence of all the people in the community. Of all the sections of the world that I have been in I have found no section where the conditions of our race were more inviting and encouraging for their permanent abode than here in the South, and Wilcox County is no exception to the rule. True, we have difficulties; true, we have injustice to contend with, racial friction cropping here and there, but there is no place in the world, even where all the people are white, where racial friction does not crop out from time to time. Even in Europe, where all the people are white, there are signs at this time indicating slight racial friction. Education, too, should make us turn our attention in the direction of considering our advantages. Here in the South our race is surrounded by greater advantages than any similar group of our people anywhere in the world. This I say, displease the difficulties with which we have to struggle. The more than 5,000 Negro farmers in Wilcox County could become more prosperous if in addition to raising cotton they gave more attention to raising domestic animals, poultry, corn, peas, potatoes and other vegetables. I find that in the county about 29,000 which is an average of less than one to each person. In order to have a sufficient supply of meat and hogs to to sell there should be on an average at least 3 or 4 hogs to each person. There are in the county about 28,000 head of cattle. With the splendid advantages in climate and the raising of forage and other produce, 75,000 head of cattle could be easily and profitably maintained in the county. Another thing that the Negro farmer of Wilcox county should endeavor to do is to raise more poultry—chickens, ducks and turkeys. I find that there are about 113,000 poultry in the county which is an average of about 3 to each person. The average should be 10 to 15 for each person. This building contains 75 bed rooms, a gymnasium, and a very commodious lavatory. It was planned and built by Mr. R. A. Daly, director of Industries. It is a credit not only to Snow Hill Institute but the entire Negro race. All laths and lumber used in the erection of the building was sawed and cut at the school's saw mill. All of the timber used came out of the school's forest. Bed-Collins hall is but a short distance from the site where Mr. Edwards founded the institution 20 years ago. The faculty, student body and members of the near by communities take peculiar pride in honoring Principal Edwards for the work he has done in so short a time, because he has proven that a prophet can be honored in his own country. He was born and reared less than a mile from where the school now stands. Snow Hill Institute has a very high grade four year normal course. 16 trades are taught at this school. Aside from these, a course in agriculture and a three year commercial course are taught. The institution has graduates throughout the south, who are making good in every field of endeavor opened to Negroes.

Among the Masons The Good We Can Find in Others. I have often thought that if we could only put self in the background and hunt for the good in others, we would be much happier in life's relations and better Masons. I think most men when they apply for Masonic honors, join with a noble purpose. On their initiation they are met with the simple but grand and noble principles inculcated by our symbols, signs and obligations. That they feel elated on being received as a brother in this grand and ancient order. His mind is so filled with these noble precepts that he forgets, for a time, we are but mortals. He thinks every Mason is an honest and true man. He loves them all. He feels like hugging everybody and his purse is open to every appeal for help. In this Masonic heaven he lives for a few months or years, looking only for the good in men and Masons. But a rude jar comes to his Masonic faith. He trades horses or cows, on the square, with a good brother Mason, or has some other financial dealing, trusting to a Mason's honor. To his great surprise he finds all Masons are not all wool and a yard wide. This brother whom he trusted has lied to him. His obligation was violated, for a few paltry dollars. His sacred promise on his knees, calling God to witness, "That he would not wrong a brother Mason, his widow or orphans," is ignored for a few dollars gain. An appeal is made for some needy brother, his widow or orphans. He finds many of the brethren are niggardly and parsimonious in contributions. Time and again this occurs. He becomes disgusted with this false-swearing hypocracy and begins to take care of self, and look for the bad in every one else. His mind becomes biased, he is fast losing his love for Masonry and his faith for mankind. He lingers along for a year or so, then stops visiting his lodge, then asks for a dimit or is expelled for non-payment of dues. Thus it is with thousands. Haven't you seen them? When if we had lived up to our obligations and compelled others to do so these lost brethren might have proven bright and shining lights in Masonry and of benefit to the word. Brethren, let's think of this seriously and so live as not to give occasion for offence to any brethren.—Selected. \* \* \* What is Masonry? Members of the Ancient and Honorable Craft, as well as the profane, have asked the question "What is Masonry?" A vast amount of literature has been written on this subject, and long dissertations pronounced in the attempt to give a lucid response to the all absorbing query. If it were possible to gather all the answers and views expressed on this question, there is no doubt that the bases of all opinions would be that the great tenets of Masonry rest upon and are thoroughly expressed by the word, fraternity. Fraternity is defined as "the state of quality of being fraternal or brotherly—brotherhood." "A body of men associated for their common interest." Inherent in mankind is the impulse to fraternize. It is the incentive to create and foster a condition of closer intimacy between individuals who thoroughly realize their mutually dependent character, as well as a desire for the companionship of their fellow men. The history of Freemasonry shows that in its earliest period "the quality of being fraternal," as tersely expressed by the words "brotherly love," and augmented by "Relief and Truth," these "Great Tenets" have been the very strength and support of our institution. These have stood the test of centuries gone—and will stand for centuries to come, and upon these great principles of fraternity is Masonry based. What is Masonry? Masonry is a system, or science of morality, its lessons intended to influence the every act and thoughts of those privileged to learn them. Masonry is practical and requires its votaries to be practical. Theoretical virtue will count for little if there be no practical results. Masonry's teachings are ennobling. It teaches equality. Worldly wealth does not count—the wealth of good principles, character and virtuous actions does. It is charitable and looks with sorrow upon the failing of the human race. "To err is human." While the tendency of human nature may be to do evil, yet the Supreme Architect of the Universe implanted in every heart a desire to do better.

Masonry is not a religion. Its precepts, nevertheless, will surely lead those who practice what they are taught in the right way. Every creature owes devote homage to the Creator of all things. Practical Masonry and its exposition, is not confined to the tyled limits of the lodge. It is a personal matter, and every Mason must, for himself, discharge the duties which devolve upon him, and demonstrate by his acts and words and sincerity what Masonry is.—N. B. Square and Compass.

Saturday December 5, 1914 To all lovers of the race, it must be gratifying indeed to note that at last the finishing touches have _ been put to the movement for the amalgamation of the two local emancipation societies. That thére ever was a split resulting in , two parades and two programs on last January, wa’ a source of not only displeasure but deep regret to all of us who have the welfare ofthe race at heart. Now that there has beén a getting together, there is cause for much rejoicing among us. With the best brain of the city identified with the amalgamated movement, with men of all walks of life numbered among the membership, there is every reason to hope that the re- juvenated Emancipation Associa- tion will hold a celebration on January first next, that will be in keeping with the progress of the race during the year 1914. We rejoice to know that the* two Emancipation Societies have join- hands. Let us all unite in making the coming Emancipation Day exercises, the greatest in the his- tory of our city. The folllowing taken from the Howard University Journal, a: weekly publication issued by the students of Howard University, Washington, D. C., should appeal -to the Negro newspaper men of the country. It is an excellent bit of reading matter for Negro editor and express the idea which The Tribune has been at- tempting to follow for the thir- ty years of its existence. It is the high ground which every Ne- gro newspaper should take and we gladly publish the article in or- der that our many readers may read it: The Negro Pres« Advertisements and abuses are characteristic features of the Negro press. Whether the press purports to be the “organ” of some secret society, whether it style itself the “mouthpiece” of a race enterprise, whether it de- signates itself the “spokesman”of an Equal Rights Association, or whether indeed, its purpose be to entertain its readers with the happenings of the times; it is aJ* most always flooded with these features. Advertisements may serve two purposes: they may advertise those whose patronage the peri- odical solicits; and they may Show the class of readers to whom the paper caters. In either case the advertisements form no mean proportion to the number. and class of the news- paper’s patrons. In a metropol- itan weekly, out of over one hun- dred and cighty advertisements, there were four of claivoyants, six of saloon keepers, fourteen of dance halls, eighteen of “eating houses,” one of a drug_ store, and one of a dentist. The re- maining were of a miscellaneous nature mostly “rooms to let”, These advertisements, occupying nearly one half of the space of this eight-page paper, find their way into thousands of homes each week. As a result the un- canny susperstition of the necro- mancer, the pernicious business “of the liquor dealer, and the questionable influence of public dance halls, employ the time and engage the attention of those who wish to keep abreast with the time through the medium of a race journal. It is true that papers often de- pend on advertisements for their existence. _ Subscribers are few ‘circulation, limited; and expen- ses, enormous; and, thus, the plea is entered, that advertise- ments must be secured in order to support the periodical. The fewness of subscribers, however, can be accounted for largely by the second characteristic feature of the press—abuse. as yg x, During the eighteenth century when: the storm of political pas- sion swept all Europe into a sea of internecine strife, many pam- phlets‘were issued for the purpose of stirring up a torrent of resent- ment against the tide of public opinion. These,pamphlets served rather to incite the prejudice of partisans than to accomplish -per- manent good. In this period the newspapers contained all sorts of language such as irony; sarcasm, satire and abuse. The Negro press to-day seems to be inocu- lated with this contagion. Indeed if the uncompromising Swift, the unyielding Sieye’s, or the redoubt- able Samuel Johnson were to day following up their respective vo- cations; they would find a for: midable rival in the Negro press Swift’s most bitter satire car scarcely equal some of the heac lines that frequently appear in the Negro journal. Statements ap: pearing in a recent periodical would put Sieye’s in reach for seasonablé epithet to flavor hi: sarcasm. It is doubtful that ever the voluble Samuel Johnson coulc conjure up a tirade of abuses tc surpass the phrases used to char acterize a political party, whict a certain race paper opposed, The Negro Press is unfortu nately too willing to abuse thos: who disagree with it. Frequent ly vile Janguage, immodes epithets and indecent satire fil the pages of race newspapers The history of literature show: that this form or literature no’ only failed to accomplish any last. ing good, but also failed to securs a permanent place in literary works. The thoughtless Negrc youths who read the papers pub: lished by their own race, and whc find these filled with question- able advertisements, and bitte: satire, are likely to accept this a: the representative literature o! their .race. Thus, if the Negrc press would attain that excellenéy of style and refinement for whict it often contends, then let it for- get its abuses, refrain from it: vituperations, omit its hurtful ad- vertisements and publish in its columns only such literature as would command the respect and admiration of all.

Another. When one Negro bank, real estate newspaper, insurance com- pany, store or what not goes into their particular line and makes their business succeed, others who may be inclined to enter into similar ventures, are nerved land encouraged to begin, because ‘the path finder has gone ahead and pointed out to his followers the ruts, quagmires, hills of dif- ficulties and deep sands of dis- couragements, which, in a way, enables those who follow to greatly avoid the dangerous glades of business reverses and mountainous by-paths of absolute failure. The Union Development Co. Organized ~ As a proof of this, we have only call your attention briefly to the organization of the Union Devel- opment Company, headed by Mr, G. H. Bowen. The starting ‘of thiszbusiness, as you can see at a glance, was almost, if not en- tirely, based upon the great and glorious success achieved by the Wage Earners Savings Bank, which not only served as an in- spiration to the promoters off the Union Development Company recently organized, but has serv- ed as an inspiration to the maj- ority of the enterprises begun’in this community by our people in the last fourteen years. Knockers and Fault Finders All Dead The Negro business men in this community are proud to an- nounce thru this letter that all, the knockers and fault finders | who, in the remote ees of the! history of this old’ town, lived- and at times, so we are told by | some of the old historians, | seemed to have actually pres pered by the blows that they de- lighted in giving to their living contemporaries, are dead; and the so called “big Negro,” as well as the so called “common People” are working side by side, all looking forward to one common, end, namely, to do all the good | they can, and as quick as they can, : “All for One, One for All”? | This is the creed of the local branch of the Negro Business League of this city, where men of every walk of life are invited and urged to come. We are try- ing to teach ourselves the im- portant lesson of getting together and working together for the things that are best and noblest, and means most for our material welfare, from a commercial stand point. Nog people ever amounted to much who worked and planned the downfall of their fellowman. Savannah Negro business men are known all over the, country to be above attempting little, pet- ty, mean things which could re- sult in the hurt of their fellow business contemporaries and be- cause of the kindly deeds of one Savannah Negro done for the other, is why their praises are being sung all over the country. _._ A Good Town to Live In Savannah is really a good town to live and also do business in.

RESERVED SEATS AT PEKIN New Show Proves Attractive to Large Crowds During the week the Pekin Theater has made a slight change in the price of admission, the general price remaining at 10 cents while reserved seats have been put on sale at 20 cents. This change was found necessary on account of the increased size and character of the shows which will appear at the Pekin here-after. This week's show has proved very attractive and has played to large houses in spite of the inclement weather. The leading man in the show is an old Savannah boy, Mr. Frank DeLyons, and is work his thorough in every respect. For years he was the leading bass soloist with the late Williams and Walker show. His voice is admirably adapted to the role he is playing this week and his singing together with that of Miss Nina Stovall, leading lady, is the real features of the bill. J. W. Jeffries, comedian, shows to good advantage and his work is clean and humorous throughout. There are eight other members to the company, all of whom add to the attractiveness of the show. A. M. E.

In Memoriam In loving remembrance of, MATTIE WASHINGTON, Who departed this life November 29th 1913. One year ago, dear Mattie, You left us all alone. Angels have beckoned thee, Into the Great Beyond. Your place is vacant in our home, How sweet the memory still, For death has left an aching heart, Which none on earth can fill. Gone but not forgotten; Gone to take thy rest, Thou know that we love thee, But God loves thee best. Sleep on, dear Mattie, sleep on, Sleep on and take your rest, Lay your head upon your Savior's breast, You love the Lord, Your Savior and your God, Sleep on, sleep on, sleep on. By her parents.

Text of the Lesson, Matt. xxviii, 16-20; Luke xxiv, 44-49—Memory Verses, 19, 20—Golden Text, Matt. xxviii, 20. Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The correct sequence of events between His resurrection and final visible ascension from Olivet is not more easy than the sequence of some of the events in His sojourn in His mortal body, but the heart lessons are not difficult. The summary in Acts 1, 3, is clear and full. "He shewed Himself alive after His passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the Kingdom of God." He always shewed Himself (John xxi, 1, 14), and this is our need—to see no man any more save Jesus only (Mark 1x. 8). He showed Himself alive, and we must live as if we really believed that our great High Priest is alive forevermore and has all power in heaven and on earth. He always spake of the Kingdom, both in His earthly life and until His ascension, and there is nothing so important as the coming of His Kingdom, which if we seek first He has assured us of all other things that we need. (Matt. vi, 33). This appearance of our lesson in Matthew may have been to the eleven only, or it may have been the same as when He was seen by over 500 at once (I Cor. xv, 10). From the fact that some doubted it would seem to have included the latter, for surely the eleven had ceased doubting ere this. There was another most interesting appearance in Gallilee to seven of the disciples after their night of fruitless toll on the lake, when He provided breakfast for them, apart from their labors, and also filled their net with 153 great fishes. It was then that He asked Peter the three repeated question. "Lovest thou me?" specially commissioned him and foretold his martyrdom (John xxI, 1-24). Protect Your Wages or Salary ROYAL CASUALTY COMPANY Before His crucifixion His instructions to the disciples were to go neither to gentiles nor Samaritans, but rather to Israel, but now that Israel had decidedly rejected Him and in cutting Him off had also cut themselves off from all privileges as a nation till He shall come again the instructions are different. The messengers are to go to all nations and gather to Him disciples. They are to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature; they are to preach repentance and remission of sins in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem, but they were to wait at Jerusalem (these first messengers) until they should receive the necessary power to do this in the form of a special enduement of power by the Holy Spirit, for He would be sent to bear witness to a crucified, risen, rejected, ascended Christ, to gather unto Him a people for His name, who by a special training in this age would be fitted to reign with Him in the next age, when He shall come again to set up His kingdom of righteousness and peace (verse 19; Mark xvl, 15; Luke xxiv, 46-49; Acts xv, 13-18; Isa. xxxl, 1, 17). The policies are specially designed to provide an income for the ASSURED for every day of his disability. Be wise, write today for full particulars, all inquiries will be promptly and courteously answered. 20,000,000 disability cases annually. Can YOU plan your chances of escape? THE FOURTH FLOOR There is nothing whatever in their commission about subduing the world or winning the world to Christ or reforming or uplifting the race, but simply to do as Paul tells us he did—determine not to know anything but Jesus Christ and Him crucified; to preach the gospel that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures; to so preach as by all means to save some; to be ready to preach the gospel anywhere as debtor to all and never ashamed of it; to preach the kingdom of God and teach those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, knowing that some will believe and some believe not; to turn people from idols to God, to serve the living and true God and to wait for His son from Heaven; to speak always not as pleasing men, but God, who trieth our hearts (I Cor. ii, 2; 1x, 22; xv, 3, 4; Rom. 1, 14-16; Acts xxvill, 23, 24, 31; I Thess. 1, 9, 10; ii. 4; II Tim. ii. 15). Our responsibility is to be faithful-witnesses, believing all things written in the law of Moses and in the prophets and the Psalms concerning Him, quite sure that His Word will not return to Him void, but always accomplish all His pleasure (verse 44: Isa. iv. 11). Whether we see much or little or not any present results of our sowing, we can leave that all to Him with whom we are fellow workers unto His kingdom, knowing that He shall not fail nor be discouraged (Isa. xlii, 4; I Cor. xlii, 5S). The devil sowed his tares and went his way quite sure that they would grow, and we must indeed be people of little faith if we cannot have as much confidence concerning the incorruptible seed of the Word of God as the devil had concerning his tares. When we have delivered the Word of God lovingly in the power of the Holy Spirit we can safely say. Thank God, that will work. If some one should ask, What will it work? we can with confidence reply that it will work all His good pleasure. A restless ambition to see great results does not indicate a mind in harmony with God or a Spirit filled messenger. The blessed assurance, "Lo, I am with you all the days until the end of the age" (Matt. xxvill; 20, R. V. margin), should be to us an unspeakable comfort and inspiration. In His Holy Temple WEEKLY NEWS FROM THE CHURCHES OF THE CITY In spite of the inclementy of the weather on Sunday there were more than 75 members of the Sunday school present. On last Sunday the reports from the board of missionary workers who were working from September 30th to November 29th were rendered. Their reports show the following attendance from September 30 to November 22, 1516, collection $53.38. Prof. Hubert reviewed the lesson and Rev. Jackson of Atlanta, made a short address. On Thanksgiving night the Metoka class of the F. A. B. S. School was entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Henry Howard, assisted by Misses Jennie and Kate Delaware and Mrs. Belle Smithman. The following program being rendred: Prayer, Joe Marks; instrumentel solo, L. Green; solo, Herbert Burke; "Our Sunday School," Mr. S. M. Lee; "The man who shall take my Place," Mr. Fred Bently; address, Prof. Hubert; solo, John Lawton; duett, L. Green and E. Brownfield. After the program a Thanksgiving supper was served. The Metoka class extends an invitation to the young men of the city to meet with them Sunday afternoons from 3 to 4:30 o'clock at the F. A. B. S. S. First Bryan Baptist Church As a Thanksgiving offering the members of the church and their friends gave quite a large sum of money to buy groceries and fruit for the poor, needy and sick. There was a committee appointed and for two days they were busy preparing the packages and packing the baskets that made so many happy hearts and brought sunshine into so many homes on Thanksgiving day. Mr. Andrew Monroe kindly donated one sack of grits, one bushel of rice, and one side of meat. Mrs. M. E. Dudley donated one basket of groceries. The pastor, officers and members wish to thank all who in any way assisted us to make our sister and brothers happy. At night the usual Thanksgiving services were celebrated. Rev. Wright read Psalms 107. The sermon was delivered by Rev. Green. Sunday was Children's day and the usual service for the children was carried out. At night after the reading of the lesson quite an interesting program was rendered. Rev. Jackson of Atlanta, preached an interesting sermon. At the close of these services, he conferred upon Rev. Wright, the degree of D. D., for which purpose he had come to the city. Attend our services at any time. St. Benedict's Church. At St. Mary's chapel on 36th and Harden street, Sunday services will be held from henceforth every Sunday of the year and on the day of Christmas. It will take place at 9:30 a. m., and consist of mass, sermon and Sunday school. The teachers and school children will furnish the music. We have already entered upon the holy season of advent, which is a time of preparation to the great feast of Christmas. The good Catholic will during this time put aside even those pleasures which are harmless in themselves and thus perform some works of martinization. Above all let us more devoutly and regularly attend our Sunday services which are held in St. Benedict's Church in the morning at 7, 8 and 10:30 a. m. The evening devotions are held at 8 p. m., and a special sermon is preached on the Apostle's Creed. Our next festival given at St. Mary's Hall will be the Christmas exercises by the children of St. Mary's school, and which event will occur on the 4th, of January 1915. The St. Benedict's school exercises will take place in the basement of St. Benedict's church. Both events promise to be very interesting ones as beautiful programs for the occasion will be arranged by the teachers and children. Every first Friday of the month the blessed sacrament is exposed in St. Benedict's Church and in all the Catholic churches of the city. It is to give an opportunity to the good Catholic, of making one hour of adoration, in the morning or afternoon. Thus answering the pressing invitation of our Lord Jesus Christ who said: "Come to Me, ye all that are laboring and are heavily burdened and I will refresh you." Who can better console and comfort us in our wants and suffering than the almighty and merciful Jesus. Butler Presbyterian Church Butler Presbyterian Church, East Broad and McDonough Sts.

Beth-Eden Baptist Church, Rev. N. M. Clarke, pastor, residende 214 Waldburg street, east, was poorly attended Sunday owing to the weather. This did not prevent Rev.

Washington celebrated their second wedding anniversary and his birthday on Friday November 27th. Human Health and the Foot-and-Mouth Disease The anxiety that has been expressed in several quarters in regard to the effect upon human health of the present outbreak of the foot-and-mouth disease is regarded by Government authorities as somewhat exaggerated. The most common fear is that the milk supply might become contaminated, but in view of the precautions that the local authorities in the infected areas are very generally taking, there is comparatively little danger of this. Milk from infected farms is not permitted to be shipped at all. The only danger is, therefore, that before the disease has manifested itself some infected milk might reach the market. For this reason experts in the department recommend pasteurization. As a matter of fact, however, pasteurization is recommended by the department anyway for all milk that is not very high grade and from tuberculine-tested cow. It has been demonstrated by experiments which have been made in Denmark and Germany that pasteurization will serve as a safeguard against contagion from the foot-and-mouth disease just as readily as it does against typhoid fever, but in any event it must be thoroughly done—the milk must be heated to 145 degrees F. and held at this temperature 30 minutes. In this country the foot-and-mouth disease has been so rare that there are few recorded cases of its transmission to human beings. In 1902 a few cases were reported in New England and in 1908 in a few instances eruptions were found in the mouth of children, which were believed to have been caused by contaminated milk. In both of these outbreaks the sale of milk was stopped as soon as the disease was found among the cattle. As long therefore as the disease can be confined by rigid quarantine to certain specified areas the danger from this source is very small. Should the pestilence spread all over this country and become as general as it has been at various times in large areas in Europe, the problem would become more serious. Under any circumstances, how- ever, pasteurization would be an efficient remedy. Where pasteurization is not possible and where there is any reason to suspect that the disease may exist the precaution of boiling milk might be advisable. Cows.affected with the malignant form of the disease lose practically all of their milk. In mild cases, however, the disease may be from one-third to one-half of the usual yield. The apperance of the milk also changes. It becomes thinner, bluish, and poorer in fat. When the utter is affected, the milk frequently contains coagulated fibrin and blood, so that a considerable sediment forms, while the cream is thin and of a dirty color. These changes, however, occur only when the disease is in an advanced stage, and, as a matter of fact, the disease is not permitted to pass into an advanced stage, as any stricken animal is at once slaughtered. Men who come in contact with the diseased animals may also become infected. In adult human beings the contagion causes such symptoms as sore mouths, painful swallowing, fever and occasional eruption on the hands, finger tips etc. While causing considerable discomfort, however, the disease is rarely serious. Where it is very prevalent among animals, some authorities believe that it is fairly general among human beings, but that the disturbances it causes are usually so slight that they are not brought to the attention of the family physician. There is, however, a very good reason for everyone giving the diseased animal as wide a berth as possible, namely, that otherwise they may easily carry the disease to perfectly healthy herds. Federal inspectors engaged in the work of eradicating the pestilence are thoroughly equipped with rubber coats, hats, boots and gloves, which may be disinfected; and others would lack this equipment are strongly urged not to allow their curiosity to induce them to become a menace to their own and their neighbors' property. The disease, in short, is dangerous because of the loss it occasions to property, and not because of its effect upon the health of mankind. At present all infected herds are, being slaughtered as soon as they are discovered, the carcasses buried, and the premisses thoroughly disinfected. Until all danger of infection has been moved in this way, the local authorities quarantine the milk. Those wish additional precaution are recommended to use pasteurize milk, but as has already been said, this recommendation holds true whether or not there is any fear of the foot-and-mouth disease. Restrictions. "How do you like your new flat?" "It's a little restricted," replied the patient man. "They won't allow you to raise children or pets. They even complain if you raise your voice."

General Convention of Congregational Churches (Continued from first page) Talladega College and Yale University is a promising young man and we bespeak success for him in his chosen field of labor. The convention-sermon was preached by Rev. C. S. Haynes of Athens. The annual reports of the church shewed substantial progress along both spiritual and financial lines. The sessions were interspersed with music and a grand concert was given in which some of the best talents of the city participated, together with a chorus of students from Haines Institute of which Miss Lucy Laney is principal. Rev. Geo. W. Moore, D. D. of Nashville, Tenn., who has been field missionary and superintendent of church work in the South for nearly a quarter of a century was absent on account of illness. The convention missed greatly the inspiration and enthusiasm of his presence. . The following officers of the convention were elected and installed for the ensuing year: Rev. H. S. Barnwell, moderator; Mr. P. A. Denegall, asst. moderator; Rev. C. W. Burton, scribe; Rev. W. L. Cash, treasurer and Rev. C. S. Haynes, register. Rev. C. S. Haynes was elected delegate to the National Council in 1915 at New Haven Conn. The next session will be held with the Midway Church at Thebes and Rev. W. L. Cash of Savannah will preach the annual sermon. A propos of the discussion that has been given prominence in your paper recently concerning the atagonism to the small admission charged at the dancing classes that meet weekly, please allow me to state the views of a casual observer in your valuable paper. The efforts of the numerous Aid and Social clubs to dictate what the dancing classes must or must not charge will, beyond a doubt, prove futile, as these dances appear to be competitive affairs, and if one crowd is able to give the same thing for less money, the motive to the contrary, notwithstanding, than the other can afford it, why the logical thing for the other to do is to try and devise some other plan which will prove a source of revenue. If representatives of all the clubs meet as per an announcement in last Saturday's Tribune, to fix prices or out law the orchestras that are playing at these dancing classes, they will do so in premeditated violation of the Sherman act. Public dances have never contributed anything to the moral or character of the people of any community; therefore should a company of men get together and decide to improve upon the caste and tone of public dances, whose only apology for existing, may be found in their intrinsic value alone, and inaugurate private classes where for a normal cost one may spend a real enjoyable evening among people who are not foreign, I fail to see where any one has a kick coming. There are really too many dances given for the public good. Hence if two or three classes are making any number of them non-profitable thereby causing their exeunt, they (the dancing classes) are performing a dual service that is of incalculable good to the community. Should one or two more dancing classes be able to put the requiem in pace on all the public dances whose motto is: "Get the money, anybody's", they will be welcomed in our midst, for they will render a much greater service to the community at large than the gentlemen who are now meeting and giving out statements in your paper because their source of gold supply is being placed in jeopardy by a few dancing classes, given, as they admit, not for the revenue, but for the society which they stimulate, instead of being run on a strictly get-the-money basis, as those gentlemen of the clubs would have them run; and that, notwithstanding the fact that the same has been the cause of many a Savannah mother's tears and father's humiliation.
