grocs, which is to be distributed
among.the poor and indigent Ne-
grocs of the city, was increased
considerably during the week
and now is within easy reach of
the three hundred dollar mark:
To be exact $298.65 was reported
up to noon yesterday and it is
confidently expected by the so-
Jicitors that by Monday at least
fifty dollars more will have been
added to the total subscription
fund. There has been a_ total
number of 266 petsons or organi-
zations to subscribe to the fund.
Many of those who have already
given are persons of meager
means, but the appeal of the lea-
gue so impressed them that they
felt it necessary to make the
sacrifice and do whatsoever they
could to assist their more unfort-
unate fellowbeings.
The office of the president of
the league has been deluged by
requests for aid from those in
need, and these together with the
many worthy cases’ found by the
ladies as they searched their re-
spective districts for the deserv-
ing poor present 2 situation which
the league with its limited means
will find difficult to mect. In
comparison to last year, there
were found many more cases of
dire need by the ladies this year.
This has probably been caused by
the general hard times which are
to bg found throughout the city,
many of the elderly persons who
up to this year, were able to sup-
port themselves by doing odd jobs
being unable to find employment
ofvany Kind.
At a meeting Thursday of the
committee which has in charge
the raising and distribution of the
Christmas fund, it was decided to
change the day of distribution
from Christmas eve to the day
before, Wednesday. This was
thought best because many of
the ladies who assist ia the work
find it very inconvenient to be
away from home the day before
Christmas, and then, too, the
distribution in certain districts
was found last year to take more
time than had ben expected and
this caused several of the ladies
to work way into the night or a
part of the following morning.
The purchasing committee will
turn over the provisions to the
ladies on Monday afternoon and
the baskets will all be packed by
them and made ready for distri-
bution Wednesday. Mrs. L. A.
Newton, one of the ladies of the
committee, has proferred the use
of her store on the southwest
corner of West Broad and Wald-
burg lane, as a storehouse for
the goods and the wagons will
all be loaded there 9 o'clock
“Wednesday morning.
Many white friends have con-
tributed substantial sums to the
fund and showed much interest in
Vibe work of the league, as the
‘ollowing letters attest:
“The enclosed cheek I am sending
you for your Xmas fund for the child.
ren. I hope it will help you in your
efforts to muke the little ones happy-
“T am always interested in your
League's work, and only wish I were
Able to help you matérially.”
“Urban League,
I received ySur circular and while
the demands among the poor and varl:
ous organizations of my own people,
preclude the possibility of my mukin;
axeash donation to the cause. My
family and myself will take pleasure
ta adopting a suggestion offered as
Ypot note to your circular letter.
“Tf your committee will call at mj
residence, Mrs,——and the childrer
will give you what old toys they car
spare.”
I have read with great Interest the
circular and prospectus sent me con
ceifving the Urban League, and I an
enclosing to you $25.00 to be used in it:
work at your discretion.
“Up to the present time the peopl
of your race have relied entirelf’ to:
much upon the whites to assist them
fa every thing they wanted to do
The Tribune as a Christmas
Present.
If you want to make your ab-
sent friends happy, make them a
present of a year’s subscription to
The Savannah Tribune. It would
be a usefttl present for even those
at home. Make them happy for
$1.25, and they will remember
you the entire year.
tbe reason 4 am sending you ts money
is because these circulars show that
the Urban Teague is working along
this Ine. People are ready fo help
those who help themselves, and it
seems to me that the establishment of
banks, real estate compantes and vari-
ous business organizations among the
Negroes is a proof that some of them
realize this and are working along
these lines, and if in addition to this
they are seeking to help each other in
charitable ways, I am sure the rexults
will be good.”

It was indeed gratifying to the
Y. M. C. A. promoters to note
that the inclement weather of
last Sunday did not abate in the
least the ‘present Y. M. C. A. en-
thusiasm. There was a good at-
tendance and a good program on
last Sunday. The address of Dr.
Johnson was replete with many
helpful suggestions. On tomor-
row, Dr. R. H. Singleton, the pop-
ular pastor of St. Philip A.M, E.
Church, will'address, the meeting.
The program committee an-
nounces the selection of Dr. Bru-
ner. health officer, as the speaker
for the following Sunday, Dec.
27th, at which time an audience
of both male and female is ex;
pected. A special invitation is
extended to all the male’ inhabi-
tants of the city to be out on to-
morrow to hear Dr. Singleton.
The meeting begins promptly fat
5 p.m. at St. Paul C. M. £. Church

WORK OF MARGARET BOT-
TOME CIRCLE.
Buy Red Cross Seals.
By a friend.
+ Inca little three room cottage
neat and clean within, on one of
the lines of Savannah, one may
find today a young man of thirty;
dying with tuberculosis, Long
since have his wife and two ba-
bies gone to the home of her par-
ents in the country for maintain-
ance; and all income from his la-
bor ceased. He is dependent for
succor upon a faithful, loving
jmoier: who earns a mere daily
pittance, and the benefits of two
health societies, one of which nv
longer pays him any claims, and
the other’ allows half previous
payment.
The visiting nurse of Margaret
Bottome Circle of King’s Daugh-
iters was notified of this unfortu-
Inate man’s condition and she call-
fed at his home, gave him two out
ing flannel shirts, ordered a quart
of fresh milk to be supplied to
jhim every day, advised him in re-
.gard to the care of his person
provision, ventilation; the ‘ad-
mission ¢f sunlight the Aisposal
fof sovtem amd esplamed wu the
,mother hdw to nurse ner bey
and avoid contracting his iliress,
{ Whaf} a humane Samaritan
service! :
| , A young, refined orphan widow,
age twenty-eight, came td Sa-
‘vannah not long ago to earn an
| independent livelihoood as a dress
maker. She was_ industrious,
ambitious and competent. For a
{time she succéeded and her out-
look was hopeful. But, alas,
her duties were more arduous
than hér inherited frail body
could withstand, and poor lass,
she began to cough; fever devel-
joped; loss of weight set in; her
strength lessened—she was a
| victim of grim tuberculosis. Un:
| like many, who are loath to re-
| alize their true state in similar
| circumstances, she concluded that
| since her cough failed to yield to
| medicine, and-her general health
) did mot improve, she had con-
), Sumption.
| Somewhere she had either read
or heard that-‘milk, eggs and
) other wholesome foad were es-
‘sential agénts in promoting re-
) covery to those suffering with her
) complaint.
| How could she'buy milk at ten
, cents-a' quart, pay her room rent,
; and meet other necessary obli-
) gations? Such was of the ques-
, tion, she could not.
| One night while reading a pa-
, per, she saw that the same circle
; alluded to above, would furnish
, fresh milk daily to indigent per-
; Sons of any race, suffering with
» tuberculosis. What a boon to
» her! A letter to the Circle from
, her resulted in a speedy visit from
; the visiting nurse and the delivery
, of a quart of fresh cow’s milk dai-
. ly afterwards...
| Thus it would, appear, from
; these two isolated~cases, and
, there are many other such ones,
»,that Margaret Bottome Circle, is
, ministering indiscriminately toval
- the people of Savannah; and
» every one of its citizens, who can
), should purchase as many as pos-
,'sible of the Red Cross Seals
: which said Circle is selling at a
| penny a piece, and thereby aid
) personally this splendid charity.
)|. Among our own ladies a simi-
: Jar_relief society, Anti-Tubercu-

: ported by membership dues and

Health Papers—False Hair

officers both in the constituent
and grand lodge should be elected.
r—Texas Freemason. . >
Men are lavish in their admira;
tion of a beautiful head of nat-
ural hair, but they have a univer-
sal dislike for false hair. How-
ever, nature has not endowed
all women alike in this respect
as it often becomes necessary far
some of them to supplement their
limited supply with additional
hair. Even at the,best this is un-
fortunate, as those who wear
false are at a disadvantage in
the battle of life. Not only does
it detract from personal appear-
ance—but it renders the wearer
liabie to disease from infected
hair.
Many women save their comb-
ings and have them made into
switches and puffs. This itself
seem harmless; however, it_is
fraught with great danger. * She
who docs this saves a mass of
soited, germ laden, decayed mat-
ter. The fact that the hair falls
out proves that it is dead hair,
dead at the roots. This hair is
oftea kept for months in a little
bag er box before it is cleaned
and made into something to
wear on the head.. But nothing
can purify it sufficiently to ad-
mit of its being worn on the head
of a healthy individual.
“Fo one would think of putting
a few decayed apples into a barrel
of good ones and expect them to
remain there without infecting
the whole barrel. And yet thous-
ands of women save their comb-
‘ings and without cleaning them
will haye them iade into
switches and wear them contin-
ually to the detriment not only
of their hair but their whole sys-
tem. Furthermore when the
system becomes deranged some
women become pcevish, cross, |
jealous, and hard to please. In)
fact most women who are sick
for any length of time get that
way. Some are that way when
they are well. .
The little innocent “rats” that
women place under their pompa-
dours to raise them ‘to the de-
sired height are often soiled and
of the coarse a quality that they
rub the scalp continually, loosen-
ing the hair from the head and
heating the scalp so that it be-
comes oily and irritated to a
great degree. Those who feel
that they must wear other hair
than their own should never wear
cheap false hair. It oftei hap-
pens that those who buy a bunch
of curls or puffs for a dollar are
buying Chinese hair or hair cut
from dead people who were di-
sensed. This hair is bleached or
dyed with the poorest kind of
dyes. This hair cannot be fit to
wear on healthy heads.
Lillian Russell says: “The wo-
man is fortunate who has suffi-
cient hair to decorate her head
without resorting to false hair.
But to those who need a little
additional hair to improve their
appearance, 1 would advise to be
more than careful of the quality
they use.” The best is always
the cheapest in the end. One
should hesitate before picking
up a cheap bunch of curls or “rat”
to puff out the pompadour. One
should he positively sure that the
hair she puts on her head is per-
fectly clean. Throw away all
combings from your head as you:
would throw away a dead flower.
Go to the best places, for the best
things. Work with your own
hair until you can do without
false hair. v
While it is true that some wo-
men have to wear false hair,
there are a. much larger number
who wear it needlessly and would
be much better off without it.
By care most women could fix up
their own hair becomingly, even
though not according to the lat-
est style. When style interferes
with health, “cut out” the style.

His frst coming Uterally fulfilled all
that is written In Isa. lit and else-

shall He when He shall come again as
Uterally fultill all that Is written ev-
erywhere concerning His kingdom and
glory. Animals that now devour each
other shall live in peace togetter, na-
tlons, shall learn war no more, for He
shall have smitten them and broken
them in pieces. and the earth shall be
full of the knowledge of the Lord as
the waters cover the sea, for the rod
out of the stem of Jesse, who Is also
the root of Jesse; the syn of David,
who is also David's Lord, shall sit on
David's throne and reign over the
house of Jacob, who will then be a-na-

_. He who rose from the dead was In-
“deed the Son of David, the long prom-
ised king to rule over Israel, which He
shall surely do at His return, and not
only Israel, but all nations (Mic. Iv, 3:

kingdom! Thy kingdom come! Christ-
mas is almost without sfgnificance un-
less It points ‘us on to the coming again
of Him who was born*in Bethlehem,
not in the winter season, but probably
in the springtime.
Turning to the lesson in the Acts.
the former treatise referred to was the
gospel by Luke, wherein he, as well
as Matthew and Mark in their gospels.

to do and teach and which the Holy
Spirit through redeemed people has
ever since been doing and teaching and
will till the church {3 completed.
Notice that doing always goes before
teaching. for we cannot teach others.
until we have done the things our-
selves. He continued to do and teach
until the day in which He was taken
up. May we by the same Spirit be
faithful witnesses until taken out of
the body or taken up in the body to be
ever with Him (I Thess. ir, 16-18; Phil.
1, 21, 23). We must not confuse these
two, but either will be glorious.
Notice how He did all by the Holy
Spirit. And remember that from His
conception to His resurrection all was
by the Holy Spirit, the same one con-
cerning whom He said, “Ye shall re
ceive the power of the Holy Ghost
coming upon you, and ye shall be wit-
nesses unto me” (verse 8, margin). As
Te showed Uimself alive in His res-
urrection body He expects us, in the
power of His resurrection by the Holy
Spirit, to manifest Him in our mortal
bodies that others may see Him and
not us.
He will manifest Himself in us if
we are fully yielded. Since He is more
willing to give the fullness of the Spirit
than parents are to give good gifts
unto their children, what can binder
us from being filled but our own un-
willingness? Their question, “Lord, wilt
thon at this time restore ugain the Ixing-
dom to Israel?" was in no sense a fool-
ish question, for the prophets are full
of such a restoration, and the heaven
has received Him only until the times
of restitution of all things which God,
hath spoken by the mouth of all His
holy prophets since the world began
(Acts iii, 21). Our Lord did not re-
prove them for asking the question.
nor did He say that they were carnal
In looking for such a kindom or that
they misunderstood the nature of the”

He says to us, that we are not to know
the time, and elsewhere He said that
it will be in such an hour as we think
not. But His great desire for us 1s
that we shall be, In the power of His
Spirit, His faithful witnesses to His
death and resurrection and ‘present
ministry and coming again.
He led them out as far as to Beth-
any, and while He blessed them with

SAVED BY A TAIL
SO ee ee ee ee eee ee
Paris In 1848 *
On Feb. 24, 1848, when Paris
was disturbed by the revolutionary
mob, 8 Captain Prebole was sent by
the government with ordess 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 ‘warned to take the greatest care
if be valued his life, but he took the
warnings lightly and sald: “If you fel-
lows knew my black borse as well as
I know him you wouldn't worry abont
me. That horse bas carried me through
thick and thin.”
‘The black horse of which the gallant
captain was so, proud was indeed 2
Deautifal animal. But there was some
thing very extraordinary about bis tail.
It was long and busby, but it never
moved or twitched. except with the
movement of the animat's body.
‘When Prebols arrived in the disturb-
ed section of the city he fearlessly de-
livered his message. He met with no
resistance from the crowds in the
streets until he reached the Place Ven-
dome. Here a great crowd of revolu-
Honists had gathered. One selzed tho
bridle and cried in a fierce voice:
“Hold! What message are you carry-
$ng?”
‘Tbe captain refused to answer. “Put
= 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 bim
from violence at the hands of the
crowd. Quick as a fineh he wheeled
his horse and dashed off. Several bul-
lets few after him, but they went wlid
and then suddenly ceased altogether.
He looked round and saw the mob
crowding round one of thelr number,
who held something in his band. And
then his eyes fell on the back of his
horse and his heart sank iu dismay.
It seems that as be whirled his horse
about several men selzed hold of the
animaj. But the powerful crenture
threw them all except one, a lad of
fourteen: who selzed the horse's tail
Thar tail was the object of interest
that had caused the shooting to stop,
for it bad come off. There stood the
boy, in the middle of the road. with
his feet spread apart and an expression
of grim determination on bis 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. It
seems that Captain Prebols’ horse,
while perfect in every other particular,
did not have a very good tall and so
his master had an artificial one made
for him. No doubt that artificial tail,
and that alone, saved Captain Prebols’
ife.
Brutal Black George.
No rougher customer ever occupled a
throne than Servia's first ruler, Black
George. Except when under the in-
fluence of wine or the smell of gun-
powder, be was habitually moody and
dangerous to cross, When fils aged
father thwarted his wishes be draw 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 ber
shrieks of pain, Black George was ad-
mirable as an administrator, scrupu-
lously just in all bis dealings—oatside
of the family circle—and 2s brave and
disinterested a patriot, as ever lived.
After brilliant victories he would re
turn to his squalid home, empty hand-
ed, und resume the uneventful life of a
pig breeder.

Quarterly Review—Golden Text, Gal.

D. M. Stearns.
Lesson 1. — Christ Anointed For
Burial, Mark xiv, 1-11, Golden Text,
Mark xiv, 8, “She hath done what she
could.” ‘This is not the anointing of
‘Luke vii by an unnamed woman, but
that by Mary of Bethany shortly be-
fore the Passover, It was the heart-
felt devotion of a humbje. believing
heart, and He accepted it'und approv-
ed of it and reproved thuse who found
fault.
Lrsson IL—The Last Supper, Mark
xiv, 12-25. Golden Text, I Cor. xf, 26,
“As often as ye eat this bread and
drink this cup ye do show the Lord's
death till He come." Note the Pass-
over greatly desired and its future ful-
fillment in the kingdom. The thought
of that glory should keep us very hum-
ble now and deliver us from all strife
and ambition as we think of what it
cost Him to obtaiu it for us. The
bread and wine should always say to
us, “Til He come."-
Lesson III.—In the Garden of Geth-
semane, Mark xiv, 3242, Golden Text,
Matt. xxvi, 41. “Watch and pray that
ye efter not into temptation.” Our ut-
ter inability to appreciate either His
sufferings or His glory is seen In the
sleeping of these three men in the gar-
den and on the Mount of Transfigura-
tion. His longing for some human
sympathy may be seen in His “Could-
est thou not watch one hour?”
Lesson IV.—Jesus and Judas. Matt.
xxvi, 47-50; xxvif, 3-10. Golden Text,
Matt. xxvi 24, “Woe unto that man
through whom the Son of Bian is be-
trayed.” The last lesson seemed to be
Christ and the devil face to:face, as
in the wilderness. This is Christ, and
the devil is a professed ‘bellever, who
dares ‘to profess friendship by a kiss,
and Jesus tolerates It, The betrayer’s
testimony to the innocence of Christ
is very strong.
Lesson V.—The Arrest and Trial of
Jesus, Matt. xxvi, 57-6S. Golden Text.
Isq. lil, 7, “He is brought as a lamb to
the slaughter, and, ay a sheep before
her shearers, is dumb, so He openeth
not His mouth.” ‘This lesson is an
awfal fllustration of the enmity of the
human heart ta God, who {s only Love.
Thefr ill treatment of Him as they
hound Him to death is almost unbe-
Hevable. He snbmits to all without a
murmur or reply.
Lesson VL —Sowing and Reaping.
Gal. vi, 1-10. Golden Text, Gal. vi, 7.
“Whatsoever a man soweth that shall
he also reup." We are seeing the
meekness of Jesus as He suffered in
our stead; and nothing is more becom-
ing in us than low.iness and meekness
and long suffering (Eph, Iv, 2). If we
are crucified with Christ we must ever
reckon ourselves dead unto self and
sin and alive unto God.
Lesson VII.—Jesus and Peter. Mark
xiv, 53, 54, 66-72 Golden Text. I
Cor. x, 12, “Let him that thinketh he
standeth talé beed lest he fall." When
a true disciple allows the devil to work

great victory for the adversary ajrd
dishonor ‘to Christ, but the unfafling
and unchanging love of such a Saviour,
who lores His own to the end in spite
of all ‘thelr failures, is an exceeding
great comfort.
Lesson VIII.—Jesus and Pilate, Matt.
Exvil, 11-26. Golden Text, Matt. xxvii,
22, “Pilate saith unto them, What shall
I do, then, with Jesus, who is called
Christ?” Betrayed by one who pro-
fessed to be His, denied by one who
as really and truly His, condemned
to death by the religious rulers, who
thought that they were God's chosen
ones, and now banded over for execu-
tlt? by the state which testified to His
Innocence.
Lesson IX.—Christ Crucified, Marl:

“Surely He hath borne our griefs and
carried our sorrows. Yet we did es-
teem Him stricken, smitten of God

gressors, put to death as the vilest

Among the Masons
All of the lodges are having election this month and installation before the twenty-seventh.
The officers of the Savannah Lodges will be jointly installed next Tuesday night.
The names and post office addresses of the W. M. and secretary of each lodge must be sent to the several departments immediately after election.
Commence collecting Grand Lodge dues now, in order to forward same to the Grand Secretary not later than March 1st. Blanks for same will be sent out January 1st.
Practical Philanthropy.
The criticism has been made and perhaps not unjustly-that Masonry is lacking in practical philanthropy. It has been said that the craft, which should head the country in work of this character, has only a few scattered homes for widows, orphans and aged members, to point to along this line.
Of course individual Masons, and subordinate lodges daily and yearly do a splendid work, do it quietly and do it well—in relieving the sickness and distress in their immediate vicinity. But it is a fact that more might be done in the way of organized social service.
Dr. S. A. Knopf, of New York has an interesting article in the January issue of the New Age, a Masonic magazine, in which he urge the concentration of energies upon the building of an educational sanitorium as a unique and practical Masonic charity. He points out that the Woodmen, the Knights of Pythias, the Typographica Union and many other organizations have built sanitoriums to fight tuberculosis. Realizing the difficulties in the way of the Masonic fraternity following their example, and arranging for the general care of its consumptive members, since no medical examination is required, he suggests not a tuberculosis sanitarium, but an educational sanitarium.
The object of this institution would be to teach the patients what they must do to get well, and how they must act so as to not reinfect themselves or infect others. Such a course could be given in from two to three month and thus five or six times as many could be treated annually, as in a regular sanitarium.
It is unquestionably true that not only tuberculosis, but a host of other diseases are propagated by lack of knowledge of elementary hygiene. No organization could undertake a greater work than the teaching of how to preserve health and prevent disease. Masonry will make no mistake to bend its energies in this direction. J. D. McC.
Prejudice Against Lodges The prejudice against Masonic lodges that years ago used to so measure by the Masonic press. women has materially decreased and this change in sentiment has been brought about in a great measure by the Masonis press. When a Masonic paper, a magazine comes regularly to the house of a members of the fraternity, it is read by the lady members of the household and the information they receive regarding the various Masonic bodies has a tendency to remove any false impression they may have regarding Freemasonry. The fact that Masons visit the sick, bury the dead, comfort the bereaved and assist the needy, when firmly impressed upon the minds of an intelligent woman, is enough to dispel any prejudices that she may have and make her a friend of the institution.
The writer once knew a woman who was strongly opposed to her husband becoming a Mason, but after his death she met with such generous treatment from the members of her deceased husband's lodge, that when she died she left her home by will, to that organization, and it is used to this day as a refuge for Mason's widows. Her husband, for some reason, was not a subscriber to any Masonic periodical, but if he had been his wife would no doubt have been converted from the error of her ways and become a friend of Masonry long before her husband's death—Masonic Chronicle.
Promptness in. opening the lodge, and a reasonably early
closing, will increase lodge attendance.

"The morning after" is the true test of a successful lodge communication. No matter how pleasant the evening may have been, if the proceedings were dragged out to an unconscionable length, the busy brother will stay away next time. If the lodge means late hours it is detriment rather than a benefit to its members, and the wise ones will govern themselves accordingly.

The Christmas edition of the
Nashville Globe, issued last week,
was one of the most interesting
and entertaining Negro publica-
tions that has reached our oftice
fn recent years. The entire
thirty-two pages were brim full
sof news and the workmanship
excellent. The Negroes of
Nashville must surely have felt
highly elated when they saw
their accomplishments heralded
to the country in such a telling
way as was shown in this special
edition of The Globe, and they are
to be congratulated by the Ne-
groes in other cities in having
as their mouth piece such a wide
awake and progressive newspaper
The Tribune joins the host bf Ne-
gro editors!throtighout the coun-
try in the highe3t words of praise
they must: give to the publishers
of The'Globe/for. having put out
‘such an interesting, entertaining
and-excellent edition.
* ‘Before we'go to press again,
Christmas - of nineteen ‘hundred
and fourteen will be a part of his-
tory. The yuletide season of
happiness and good cheer will
haveibeen ushered in with no lit-
tle, pomp and ceremony. On
every side there will be seen the
little. ones With their dolls, their
drums, and their toys of évery
‘description, unmistakable em-
‘bles of' the Christmas season;
from every window ‘and in every
home the: characteristic Christ-
mas decorations symbolic of the
yuletide season will be seen.
“What a joyous season will be
upon us! And not only joyous
must it be, but momentous 2s
yell, for mingled with our joy,
‘there should be a feeling of
thanksgiving within us to Him
who has so bountifully blessed us
during the past twelve months.
And why? As we pass in rapid
séyiew before us the cycle of
eyents of the year nineteen hun-
dred and fourteen, we are ofthe
opinion that:the people of Ameri-
ca above all others have much to
be thankful for at this time. In
the first place we have been al-
most free from pestilence or cala-
mitous disease. Again, while
nearly thé whole civilized world
is and has been engaged for four
months or more, in the most an-
‘nihilating war known to history,
‘our country, save for a few
slight tremors felt on account
of the titanic struggle now going-
on,in Europe, has been and is at
péace with the world so far as
arms and Ymunition of war are
concerned. What a-great bless-
ing it is then, during these times
when the martial music and the
ttamp of the soldiers may be
heard on two continents, to know
that peace, at least from arms,
“like a river, attendeth our way!”
To*be true, this is a great bless-
ing’ indeed. For this every ‘one
among us ought to be thankful.
Enjoying as we do, the position
of the leading civilized nation of
the , world now at peace with
‘every other nation, it is to be
expected that this’ nation take
the lead in-any peace proposals
that may be offered tothe warring
nations. That our government
will wields tremendous influence
in bringing about peace when the
opportune time arrives for the
proposal of the same, there can
be no doubt. But, the question
presents itself to us, will’ our
government's potential influence’
for neace amone the warrinoe na
ever hopes to come into its own
as the real harbinger of world’s
peace, then there must be the
absence of disctiminatory, acts
and policies as ‘Jim Crow laws,
governmental segregation poli-
cies and the like, for as long as
these nefarious/acts and policies
are in vogue, there can be no
real peace among us. The,war
spirit is indeed an evil; prejudice
is also. The ‘present’ warring
nations are possessed of the one;
we are possessed of the other.
As we see it, there are glass
houses on both sides of the At-
Jantic. Is it necessary for us to
repoint here. the reminder that
people in glass houses should
jrever throw stones? But, des-
pite our shortcomings, the good
Lord has blessed us during the
year. Let us show our apprecia-
tion for the year’s blessings by
giving the proper ‘thanksgiving
to our Benefactor during the
yuletide season. .

President and Negro.
It‘is not often that President Wilson
can be accused of lack of sincerity, but
what shall be sald of his remark re-
lative to the Negroes of the South that
“there isn't any question, it seems to
me, into which more candgr needs to be
put or more thorough human feeling,”
and what “I know myself, a3 a South:
ern man, how truly the heart of the
South desires the good of the Negro
and the advancement of his race on all
sound and sensible Mnes; it is a matter
of common understanding”?
These words were taken to the Unt-
versity Commission on Southern Race
‘Questions, made up of representatives
of eleven Southern colleges. They
might have been uttered fifty years ago
by a Confederate Brigadier. They do
not vary much from the sentiments ex-
pressed ‘in the yeari before the war
by the most extreme advocate of slav-
ery. *
Negroes are citizens of the United
‘States, entitled to all the rights which
Mr. Wilson as President is sworn to
protect. To what other section of our
Population, large or small, would he
refer In such terms of condescension?
If it fs imaginable that any of the ele
ments of our people could be subject
to the Iimitagion placed upon the blacks,
is it conceivable that the President
would speak thus of the possible ad-
¥Yancement on “sound ‘and, sensible
Mnes""? * =

Time for Thought and

Qur business men and women
in this community, who have
proven their race loyalty in more
ways than one, presume to advise
that our people look well into the

in the various lines before spend-

For example, the thoughtful

stantial gift to a hoy, who wishes
to teach that boy’ the hahit ‘of

could give him, in my vpinion,
no present which would he of
more intrinsic value to him

thent the satisfaction of fnowing
that’ they have been kindly re+
thembered by ‘thosé. fromwhont
they have a_perfect riglit*to ex-
pect a present, but, in the! mean
time, it causes them to look and
aim higher and think better and
nobler thoughts of the business
men and women of our race.
A paid up yearly subséription
to‘one of the Negro journals and
receipt for the same presented to
a thoughtful friend, would be re+
ceived with a blessing and bene-
diction. A five or ten dollar re-
ceipt coming from some of our
Negro real estate dealers on 2
note or bargain to those members
of our race who are.able té afford
it, would make a splendiq.present
to some deserving friend. +.
"A receipt for a few months paid
up igsurance to a deserving:friend
coming from one of the seven
that are doing so much tangible
good and causing our fourteen
physicians to get their pay for
their services so promptly, would,
indeed, be a nice present ta make.
.A nice picture framed by Mr.
Hill and presented to a ‘member
of the family or an old friend,
would be a thing of beauty and
something one could appreciate.
A dozen real nice photes made
by Mr. Johnston or Mr. Collier

nice presents as wellas give

-\ little story from life—When
1 entered the store’at 6 p. im. on
my way home, the proprietor was
sound asleep.
| “I stopped by to get the lamp
which you promised to have ready,
for me,” I began very loudly.
| “Oh, yes,” he replied, arising
from his seat behind the desk
covered with a three month's
layer of dust and a hodge-podge
of circulars and papers. “I er—
am sorry but I couldn’t find a.
burner to fit the size of lamp you
wanted.” .
| _ “Well,” I said, somewhat dis-|
couraged, “that leaves me in a
nice fix for tonight. No light,
the stores up town all zlosed and
Jones across the street“only car-
‘Ties burners and chimneys:’?
| Opening his cash drawer he
picked up a nickel and handing
it to a little boy who had saun-
tered in, said: _
Run over to Jones’ and ask him
to let me have a No. 2 burner.
Hurry up now.”
“1am glad to see that you rec-
ognize the importance of not dis-
appointing your customers,” I
ventured as hope returned.
“Um-hum,” he grunted.
‘A few minutes later the phone
rang and I listened to this:
“Hello”; “Yes”; “What” (very
loud); “Wait a minute.” Then
to me said, “Jones wants ten
cents for his burner. Are you
willing to pay a nickel extra for
the outfit?”
“No, sir,” I replied. “You
promised to sell me the complete
outfit for 50 cents and you prom-
ised to let me have it tonight and
it’s up to you to do it.”
Then over the phone he said:
“Never mind, don't get it,” and
hung up the recciver with a bang,
“Sorry, sir, but I cant pay ten
cents for a burner wot I can get
for three cents. Stop in tomor-
row-and’I will have it-for you.”
As I passed out the door, I said,
“Never mind,.don’t bother, about’

Meeting Against Dancing Classes.
On last Sunday afternoon a meeting was held at the Eureka Club room by representatives of various organizations of the city for the purpose of perfecting final plans against the operating of what is termed by those who took part in the meeting as "so-called dancing classes." There have been two meetings held and twenty organizations have registered their protests against them. Whether there will be a fight put up by the promoters of the dancing classes or not, is not yet given out, but from all accounts those who are behind the move to have them discontinued at the price of admission that is now being charged are determined in their efforts. It is claimed that many more organizations who were not represented at the meeting have since agreed with the plans mapped out against the dancing classes and will fall in line and give their support. The club and society can claim that the dancing class
es (or as they term them "socalled dancing classes") are taking advantage of the organizations by operating below the price of admission of 25 cents usually charged at dances, while on the other hand the managers of the dancing classes feel as if it is their privilege to fix the admission fee as they see fit. How-ever, it seems as if the fight is on, for we understand that communications have been sent to the various hall committees or agents, and that an open letter will be published this week to the orchestras that are running dancing classes and to the individuals who are playing in orchestras that are operating them. Another meeting of the representatives will be held on the first Sunday in next month at the Eureka Club.
An Open Letter to the Orchestras of the city.
Savannah, Ga.. Dec. 13, 1914 To the orchestras of the city and individual performers in same: Gentlemen: The undersigned organizations through their representatives authorized the following letter for publication and for your consideration:
"that all orchestras operating "so-called dancing classes" at an admission below 25 cents or any individual who performs in any orchestra that is operating one, shall after a reasonable time from the publication of this letter be excluded from furnishing music for the undersigned organizations as an orchestra or as an individual performer in any orchestra not connected with a dancing class, unless the orchestras that are now running dancing classes cease operating below 25 cents, or the individual discontinues his connection with the orchestra or orchestras that continue to operate them.
Your reply can be sent to the secretary of the committee. W. H. Logan at 817 West Broad street. Failing to hear from you in a reasonable (in our judgement) time, the actions of the committee will be enforced."

Patrons of the Pekin theater will be treated to an extra musical number on Christmas day, which undoubtedly will be greatly enjoyed. Prof. Wim A.

Yes, a splendid old gentleman. Once every year from time memorial, he has made happy the hearts of many, so the Ga.

Old Get-rich-quick Schemes.
Old Get-rich-quick Schemes.
About the year 1720 a great many Englishmen invested millions of money in companies which were organized for such objects as, "Wrecks to Be Fished For on the Irish Coast," "For Making Oil From Sunflower Seeds," "For Importing a Number of Large Jackasses From Spain," "For a Wheel of Perpetual Motion" and, most extraordinary of all, "For an Undertaking Which Shall In Due Time Be Revealed." The promoter of this last company received more than 1,000 subscriptions during the morning on which the offering was made, and disappeared the same afternoon with more than 2,000 guineas—World's Work.
There Was A Difference.
There Was a Difference.
When Dr. Randall Davidson, archbishop of Canterbury, was a curate one day at Dartford he took a Sunday school class in a neighboring parish. The subject was "King Solomon," and after the lesson he proceeded to catechise the children.
"Tell me, boys," he said, "what was the difference between Solomon and other men?" No answer. "Come, come!" said the future archbishop. "Was there any difference, for instance between King Solomon and myself?"
A tiny hand went up, and a tiny voice replied, "Please, sir, Solomon was wise!"-London M. A. P.
As It Was Revealed
Dr. Hale declared once that he had had a special revelation. He was down in Malne with an agreeable company of fishermen, and he must needs leave the trout brook in order to get to Boston in time to prepare his sermon. As he thought of the old trout rod and the new sermon, the "revelation" suddenly came to him something like this: "It is far better to preach a good old sermon than a poor new one. Edward Elderett Hale stay where, you are and go a fishing."—Boston Cooking School Magazine.
Dr. Johnson's Spelling
Dr. Johnson's ignorance of derivations led him to absurdities of spelling that were admitted even by Boswell. Dr. Johnson's methods in tracing etymologies were of the simplest. "This is a great work, air," said Dr. Adams to him. "How are you to get all the etymologies?" "Why, air," replied Johnson, "here is a shelf with Junius and Skinner and others, and there is a Welsh gentleman who has published a collection of Welsh proverbs who will help, me with the Welsh." And so the famous dictionary was written; with little assistance from the learned, as the dictionary maker himself complained. That little came from a man who sent him a list of thirty derivations.
Barcastle
They were leaning over the fence, these ladylike neighbors, and they seemed to be having a heated argument.
"How do you know it is so?" asked one lady.
"I said it was so, didn't IT" the other came back coldly.
"Uh-huh, you did. And I suppose it's your idea that whatever you say goes."
"Well, if I say it to you it does—it goes all over town."—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Big Ones For Little Ones
Years ago there lived a certain backwoods farmer who had a singular faculty for overlooking the most obvious things. Once he swam his horse across a river and stopped at a house near by to borrow a bucket. "I want to water my boss down here at the river," he explained. On another occasion he approached a neighbor and surprised him with the offer of a trade. "I'd like to swap my three big pigs," he said, "for three little pigs."
"What's that?" demanded the actioned neighbor.
"Well, you see," answered the other, "my pigs have got too big for their pen."
Without Horns.
A clergyman, was an important witness in a horse dealing case. He gave a somewhat confused account of the transaction in dispute, and the cross examining counsel, after making several blustering but ineffective attempts to obtain a more satisfactory statement, said:
"Pray, sir, do you know the difference between a horse and a cow?"
"I acknowledge my ignorance," replied the reverend gentleman. "I hardly know the difference between a horse and a cow or between a bull and a bully—only a bull. I am told, has horns, and a bully—here he made a respectful bow to the advocate." Finally, for me, has horns.

St. Philip A. M. Sunday School
and Rev. Singleton’s Five
Years Administration.. |
By Jesse Brinson |
The group or cut appearing in,
this articlé shows the officers and
teachers .of the Sunday school
with a few left off, because, of
absence. =
The school has an enrollment
of 575, consisting of 16 officers,
34 permanent teachers, 12 assist-
ants and some standing commit-
tees.For more than ten years the
school has. been slowly, but
stéadily making progress in one
way or another. Eight of the 34
teachers, some committees, and
the Boy’s Whistling Club have
been added as a result of the
Young Peoples Congress which
met in Atlanta from 8th to roth
of July of this year. I only wish

that time and space permitted me
to speak of the great and per-
manent good obtained at this
meeting. We had twelve repre-
sentatives from our church, all
active members of our Sunday
school. I am sure we had a
larger_representation than any
other Sunday school except some
of the larger schools of Atlanta,
and I doubt that any 6f them can
boast of having had a represen-
tation equal to ours, not with-
standing the 6oo miles round trip
rail road fare..
The expenditures of our school
for this conference year have ex-
ceeded the receipts which were
a little more than six hundred
dollars, The handsome gold
medal which was offered for the
M. B.U. rally in 1910 was won by,

Mr. Jesse Brinson, Supt. St.
Philip Sunday School
warn by its superintendent. At
present the Sunday school is
moving along swimmingly and
with a business system that is
excellent. For this splendid sys-
tem we are indebted to the pres-
ent pastor.
On Wednesday night aftér the
last Sunday in each month, each
officers and teachers submit a
written report of the work done
and thus we are able to keep the
machinery of the school well
oiled. Other Wednesday hights
we use from 60 to 75 minutes for
thE STUCY Of tne es50us. ee
portance of these meeting shas
grown so great in the estimation
\Sf most of the officials and
jteachers that they will positively
ot make any cngagements
for Wednesday nights.
i The school is divided into six
departments as follows: the nor-
ma!, the senidr, intermediate,
{junior primary and cradle roll
'We have also superintendents of
the home, missionary, and cradle
roll departments at work to get
them in operation. We have aroll-
ing black board, or looking glass
which reflects the report of each
teacher every sunday. a
! The pastor, Dr. Singleton, has
dene much to bring about the
very satisfactory results in the
splendid business system that is
maintained in our Sunday school.
Dr. Singleton has, for five years,
been the powerful dynamo that
j has kept things humming in every
department. Under his leader-
ship we have, for the five years,
‘been able to send up each year
[the following: children’s “day
; $32.00, endowment or educational
day $105.00, Easter day $120.00.
The Dollar money has been stead-
ily increasing, so that the last re-
port at Waycross, Ga., was $605.
Let us note a few items that we
may see if there has not been
something doing at “Greater St.
Philip” in 1914. The present
membership is 1244; converts 70;
baptized, aduts 15, infants 15; to-
tal 30. Received into full mem-
bership 88; on prébation 91. The
1420 visits made by the pastor
speak for themselves. 719 of
these were visits to the sick,
which shows that the sick of the
flock are not overlooked by the
good shepherd. 7
The A. C. E. League’s collec-
tion $61.26; W. H. and F. M. So-
ciety $11£.88; Musical and Dram-
atical Club $156.80; Sunday Schol
$614.41 ; Stewards $2359.29; Trus-
tees $6480.83
With the small amounts from
the various clubs and boards add-
ed, we have a grand total collect-
ed this conference year of $r10,-
749-10.
| The amount collected would
hhave succeeded the twelve thous-
land raised in 1913, had not the
panic struck Savannah such a
‘telling blow. During the five
years of Dr. Singleton’s adminis-
tration, there has been collected
from all departments of the
church $60, 000.00.
But this is but a small part of
Dr. Singleton’s accomplishments
during these fivd years.
The $40,000.00 brick church and
parsonage, the most ‘modern in
the city, also go to the credit
of the good Doctor, and yet this
is not all, for just beyond the
southern city limits there has
Been erected a five story brick
structure, known as Central Park
Normal and Industrial Institute,
with twenty acres ®f lid includ-
eded. It is true that others cu-
operated and helped, but we all
know that Dr. Singleton led, and
no one will deny that witi..ut his
untiring leadership in the matter,
there would have been no Central
Park College standing as it does
Mtoday, a pride to the colored
race in general and the A. M. E.
Church in particular. But even
that is not all, for the mother
church itself—the historic church
of Georgia—the pride of the A.
1M. E. connections, was brought
from a practical mass of ruins
to the magnificent edifice it now
is by Rev. R. H. Singleton, D. D.,
who broke all previous records in
, Georgia by spending five years at
| this, old Monumental Church, and
his successor stated publicly on
Sunday 22nd"that Dr. Singleton
| was the best pastor that he had
jever followed,
ton’s fidelity? If you would them
search the minutes of the Georgia
conference and see that for 17
years he has held and continues
to hold the very responsible po-
sition of secretary-treasurer
where the money entrusted to
this office ranges from five to ten
thousand dollars. He smashed
all records for the state and is
appointed financial agent for St.
Philip for 1915 by our good bi-
shop, J. S. Flipper, and requested
by our loyal board of stewards
to fill our pulpit for the sixth year
and what, is‘ more gratifying, on
the first Tuesday night after the
stewards had unanimously re-
quested his services, before he
could finish his report a splendid
resolution was read endorsing the
action of the bishop and the board
of stewards. On motion the: re-
solution was unanimously adopt-
ed.
| The writer of this article can
| Fecall several occasions on which
strong resolutions have been
{assed endorsing Dr. Singleton’s
election to the bishopric at the
Inext General Conference.
It is ustless for me to try to in-
form you of the great esteem in
which Dr. Singleton is held by his
people here. Time and space
{will not permit. I, therefore,
{conclude by saying that the
world is saying:
Give us men to match the moun-
| tains;
; Give us men to match the plains,
|Men with empires in their pur-
pose,
| And new ¢ras in their brains.
Dr. Singleton is, without a
doubt, one of those men.

“PROPRIETOR.
By. E. H. Webster
"An apt quotation is as good as an original thought." There comes to my desk, monthly, a magazine with a theological bias. I seldom read it, tho I glance over its pages. Occasionally an article seems to awaken an interest in its title, a thought that continually recurs, even as one finds himself repeating the words of a familiar hymn.
"Shall we take Jesus seriously? is the title of an editorial in this magazine that has remained in my mind for weeks, and I wonder if I can do better than give it as a Christmas message, while at the same time I venture to quote largely from the theological article.
"Shall we take Jesus seriously? War puts that question to us with terrible frankness. We acknowledge Jesus as Lord, but do we keep his commandments? We have cophesied in his name, and in his name have done mighty works. But does he really know us as those who are taking up the crosses and following him?"
"The evidence of our real confidence in Him we suddenly see does not lie in accepting dogmas concerning his person and nature, Orthodoxy no more than socialism has kept men from war. Millions of men who pray to the same Trinity, repeat the same creed, and anathematize the same heresies are busily engaged in killing each other. Militarism and false philosophies of history have made men forget Jesus, or have led them to make Him into a new God of war with a helmet instead of a crown of thorns, carrying a rifle instead of a cross."
"Greek." orthodoxy. Roman Catholic. Lutheran. Anglican. Presbyterian. all of whom make identical confessions regarding the Godman, are killing each other with the same avidity as if there had never been a Jesus. Evidently men can be theologically orthodox and put their Christ to open shame.
"Nor can we Americans be complacent in our neutrality. We have our Navy League, and those who tell you that international morality isno stronger than military preparation. Incipient militarists tell us to distrust and hate the very nations to whom the church of Christ is sending missionaries to teach the primacy of God of Love."
"Are we not even now being urged to grasp the world's trade as unhappy Europe sees it slip from fingers that grasp the sword? Suppose the good Samaritan, finding the traveler struggling with the robbers, had run off with the travelers-clothes and luggage? Would Jesus have told the rest of the world to go and do likewise?
"Is the Sermon on the Mount good instruction for militarism? Do soldiers put the Golden Rule in their knapsacks?
Is love your enemies printed on battle-flags?
Did the soldiers of Jesus go to the cross to save the world?
Men tell us we must have war in order to become strong.
Jesus taught that we must become great by sacrificial service like his own.
Men teach us that we must build up a nation's moral by economic policies.
Jesus taught us that we cannot serve God and Mammon.
Men tell us that we must fight for our rights.
Jesus told us by word and by example that we must die for other people's rights.
Men tell us that we must learn to fight, kill and hate if we are to dwell in safety as a nation.
Jesus told us that God is love, and that the way to peace is through a life that refuses to countenance hate and prefers loyalty to the crucified Christ to comfort with political supermen.
Comment:-The question "Shall we take Jesus seriously?" implies another question:-"Do we take Jesus seriously?" and its answer, "We do not."
To-day the "dogs of hate and of war" are let loose in Western Europe, and one can hardly dare presage the length of the conflict or the amount of devastation that will be the outcome.

It may not be the touchstone to which we bring all the problems that arise out of that personal life of which each of us lives with himself, with no company but God, and out of which comes our character; in that outer life with our fellows where our personal success is wrapped up in their opinion of us, whether good or ill; in that life, and society, where others are built up or degraded by the quality of men that we are; and in that communal life in which the nations represents to its fellow nations either the God of War or the God of Love.

More than two colored persons to one white,person die of tuberculosis last year in Savannah.
This great disparity in death rate in a great measure is accounted for because our ancestors were not city-dwellers. It is possible to prevent tuberculosis to a great extent by, isolating those having it at home and keeping their dishes, clothing and so forth separate; or treating and caring for them in hospitals or sanitariums; not spitting on floors and sidewalks; avoiding overwork; intemperance, loss of sleep, living and sleeping in overcrowded rooms dwelling in damp, dark, musty basements; in houses built close together, low on the ground, with little, if any provision for comfort and no observation of sanitary laws; eating and sleeping with consumptives; supplying bed and living rooms with abundant, wholesome air, and sunsliine; bathing and changing clothing frequently; keeping homes, yards and surroundings in clarion tones. Tuberculosis health.
When tuberculosis is contracted one should not dispair of recovery from it, if treatment is received at its beginning. Proclaim it from the house tops, announce it in streets and lanes in claron tones. Tuberculosis has been cured, is now being cured and can be cured.

The Lambda Alpha of Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo., gave its eighth annual banquet on Friday, December 17th, in honor of President and Mrs. B. F. Allen. The affair was a brilliant one and the program interesting. The toast to President Allen was delivered by Mr. Archie Lane and that to Mrs. Allen by Mr. Lyman Burris. An appetizing menu was served.
Union Mutual Issues Appeal
The local district of the Union Mutual Association issued recently an interesting four page pamphlet giving data concerning the company and appealing for larger business. The pamphlet aside from showing cuts of the president, vice-president, secretary-manager and Director W. O. Castleburry, contains cuts of local Superintendent and Director J. C. Lindsay and his entire office and agency force. It shows that the company has in force insurance to the amount of $756,000.00 and that it operates in forty-fie cities and towns in the state. Other information of importance is also to be found in the pamphlet.
New Year's Horse Races
The announcement that there will be horse races at the local district fair grounds on New Year's day will be especially pleasing to the many lovers of fast horses in this city. The program will include running, trotting, pacing races, auto polo and many other interesting features: The day's entertainment will be under the direct supervision of Mr. George Herbert of the Sayanah baseball club. Definite information concerning the affair will appear in next week's Tribune.

Russell and Owens Show Makes Big Hit.
The Russell and Owens Stock Company which reappeared at the Pekin theater last week after an absence of about a year proved a big drawing card and played to a large house all during the week. For the first part of the week, "A Solution of the Million Dollar Mystery" was played and made a big hit. Of the members of the company, Billy Owens and J. W. Jeffrey took off the comedy role and both shared liberal aplause. Mr. Frank DeLyons, in both the
role of a sailor and that of an old man showed to excellent advantage. Miss Stovall and Miss Freeman were the stars during the week among the female members of the show. Mr. Russell has many new and interesting plays which he will put on during his stay here. Next week "The Price of a Woman's Honor" will be produced by Miss Lillian Brown and Will Demont, under the auspices of Russell and Owens Miss Brown will best be remembered in the principal role in a Chinese scene which she played at the Pekin about a year ago.
