VOLUME XXX
LEADING PUPILSIN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
MONTHLY AND TERM STANDING INTERESTING
Mary Students in Various Schools Make Excellent Records—Work on Whole Very Satisfactory.
The following is the standing of the first six pupils in each grade of the public schools for March and also for the second term which ended Wednesday. The March report is similar to that of the preceding six months, already published in The Tribune, and is simply a record of the work for that month ending with the recent examinations.
The term standing represents the work for the past three months and is found by adding the daily recitation in all the studies for those three months and the written examinations in all the studies and dividing that sum by two. In other words it represents the sum total of the pupil's efforts in all his work for the term. The record which the pupils in general have made in the schools for the past three months has been very satisfactory on the whole, both in studies and deportment.

Odd Fellows Hold Mass Meeting
AT HARRIS STREET HALL
About Three Hundred Present—Much Dissatisfaction Over Effort to Endorse Candidate for Grand Master.
The mass meeting of Odd Fellows, held under the auspices of the Athens Club on last Monday night at Odd Fellows hall, Harris street east, was largely attended. About three hundred men and women of the order crowded the third floor of the building where the meeting was being conducted. It was presided over by the president of the Athens Club, W. E. Searles. The meeting as was understood by the members of the order was called for the purpose of discussing the new five hundred dollar certificates that are now being issued, and again on account the fact that many of the members had not seen one of the new certificates and had no knowledge of the stipulations therein contained.
It was stated a program had been arranged for the occasion and several speaches were called for. The principal speaker, J. D. Powell having one of the new certificates, read and explained it as thoroughly as he understood it and a keen interest was manifested in his talk all the way thru. The speaker dwelt, at length upon the subject and imparted useful knowledge to his hearers. At the conclusion of his remarks, several other speakers were called upon and spoke on the subject.
Up to this point the meeting was harmonious and moved along smoothly until an effort was made to have the assembly endorse Dr. B, W. S. Daniels for Grand Master of the state. This move met with stubborn opposition, those opposing it contended that the meeting was not called for the purpose of endorsing any candidate. Nowwithstanding the efforts of C. M. Brinson, who was then occupying the chair to put the move through, regardless of the protests against it, it met with defeat although it caused the meeting to be in an uproar for some time, thereby disgusting many who were in attendance. Quietness prevailed only after the president, W. E. Searles, resumed the chair. The meeting finally adjourned without the legislation of any business.

MORRIS BROWN DEFEATS MORE- HOUSE
Atlanta, Ga.—On Saturday, March 27th the Morehouse Tigers met the Morris Brown aggregation and were defeated by the score of 9 to 5. The game was a hard fought one. Kennedy was on the mound for Morehouse and Williams was hurling them for Morris Brown. Kennedy pitched a good game for Morehouse, but was a bit wild and received horrible support at times. Williams pitched well, but the Old Maroon was able to connect with his fast ones. The keen rivalry between these two nines made the contest one of the most important of the season.

NUMBER 28
JOHNSON TAKES
$30,000 IN GOLD
BIG FIGHT COMES OFF MONDAY MORNING
Will Take Place in Race Track—Johnson Will be Given Cash Before the Fight Starts.
Havana, Cuba, March 30—Thirty thousand dollars in American gold has been deposited in a Havana bank subject to the orders of Stakeholder "Bob" Vernon. This is the sum Jack Johnson will be handed when he reaches the race track on Monday, April 5, at Havana for his 45-round world's championship battle with Jess willard. Johnson wants American gold, and the entire sum has been deposited in a safe deposit vault in shining gold eagles. "No matter where you are, that money buys anything you want, from a plate of soup to an automobile," declared Johnson. "So gimme mine in gold."
A cashier's receipt has been made out for the money in favor of Stakeholder Vernon. Before Johnson gets into the ring this receipt will be indoresd to him and a trusted friend will hold it while Johnson is battling with willard through the forty-five rounds—or less. Johnson anticipates no trouble in getting his money out of Cuba. This country is a debtor's paradise. They can summon a man in court in Cuba for debt, but they cannot collect a judgment. He has three years in which to pay the judgment before any drastic action can be taken against him.
The battle is scheduled for 11 o'clock in the morning and at 2 in the afternoon the racing program will be started. By an arrangement with the management of the Havana race track tickets to the fight also admit the purchaser to the races in the afternoon. It is expected that Johnson and Willard will enter the ring at 11 o'clock sharp, after one preliminary as the crowd is arriving. Even if the fight went the entire forty-five rounds as scheduled it would be all over at 2 o'clock, when the first race is supposed to start. A big force of carpenters has been engaged to remove the ring and the seats which will be on the track itself.

As Shown In The New York Openings
Skirts of Wool, Silk or Organdy Scalloped at the Lower Edge.
NEW MODES IN COLORS
New York, April 1—All dresses are full short whether for morning, afternoon or evening wear. Collars are high in the back with some kind of opening in front. One dress of black taffeta, has a collar high in the back with a flaring white organdy collar above; around the collar and tying in a bow in front is a piece of black ribbon, giving the collar an old time stock appearance. Below the ribbon bow is an open V, where the bare neck shows. Another rather military model with a V neck has a collar high in the back and coming a little forward, where it is caught by a loop of cord to a brass button on each side.
Many skirts are finished with a slashed or scalloped lower edge, which is bound with the same or contrasting material. One striking and practical dress which I have recently seen with this feature was of black voile over tiffeta, in a shade of plum verging onto old rose. The bodice of the dress had almost the appearance of a jacket. The voile was fitted plain over the silk and both were gathered together at the waistline, so it had the appearance of being a shadowy solid color. The col-

A Simple Dress Developed in Striped Voile. lar lined with the taffeta was high in the back, and on the sides were separate pieces, which looked like petals, to frame the face. The skirt of black volle hung independently of the silk hanging, with a wider band of silk
underskirt, and was slashed around the bottom bound with black volle and piped with the tiniest edge of the silk. The underskirt was also slashed and bound of itself. A wide pleated girdle of silk surrounded the waist, crossed in the back and tied loosely in the front. An important feature of this dress was the sleeves, which were three-quarter, and not full, length. They were a narrow bell shape and faced back with the silk on the right side.
For the summer dress many models of pongee are shown. One pongee dress was trimmed with royal blue embroidery. The bodice was of pongee with a pleated front of chiffon exactly the same shade. The collar was low and extended out to the shoulder-tip, scalloped in the front and embroidered in the blue. The skirt was made with a yoke in front, and falling from the yoke was a pleated section, while at the sides the yoke and skirt were in one.
Another pongee dress made in semi- Princess style is trimmed down the front of the waist with braid in military style, and the edge of the opening of the waist, which extends to the waist line is finished with a rather large cord which knots loosely.
A new style of collar which is taking many people by storm is made of white linen. It is cut circular and placed on a band around the neck at the height of the "Adam's apple" and extends out to the shoulder-tips, and in the more extreme ones a bit beyond. The general effect of these collars is a trimness not unlike the Puritan collar which we see in old pictures. But, as some one said not long ago, "A dress may look very much like the old styles, but rest assured there is something different about it." In this case it is the V or bare neck which shows as the collar spreads away from where it is fastened. With this collar are worn deep cuffs. Sometimes the material used for this collar- and-cuffs set is of double linen with frills of narrow embroidery or lace on the edge. They also often have insets of lace medallions.
All kinds of cheeks—wide, narrow, irregular and wavering—are used in the spring and summer frocks. They are usually made up and down of the stripe, but there is quite a vogue this year, for those who are slender enough to allow of it, to have the stripes made up running round and round. Again the up and down is used, but with trimmings of bands running all around. In my first illustration is a simple, trim frock made up in striped blue-and white crepe. Each blue stripe is checked blue and white and through the white stripes are flecks of hevier threads. The neat side-closing of the waist corresponds with the side-closing of the skirt. The cuffs and collar are of blue crepe which matches the blue in the stripe. Small cloth-covered buttons are used down the front of the waist in groups of four, and continue twice on the skirt.
The sheer frocks with many frills and ruffles are particularly smart this season and have a revival for many years gone by. Flowered organdies
and lawns make these charming dresses, as well as the plain white and colors. One very pretty white organdy which I liked had a skirt slashed up at the knee-length, about twelve inches apart all around the skirt and the slashes were edged around with a continuous three-inch ruffle of the organdy. These deep slashes and scallops are very airy and pretty.

The New Frilled Frocks, in This Instance Developed in Voile A strikingly pretty evening dress was designed by La Croix. The material used was greenish-yellow, called exposition gold, grosgrain silk striped with a broad satin stripe and three narrow ones. The bodice was perfectly straight under the arms and fitted loosely about the waist: the lower edge of the bodice was finished with a band of silk with the stripes running around. The skirt was also straight

at the bottom. The sleeves and yoke of the waist of black marline with a crepe-like piece of maline lace fastened in the middle of the back and extending to the end of the long sleeves. The combination of black tulle and greenish yellow was stricking and artistic.
My second illustration is of flowered voile. The skirt is ruffled at the bottom and in the middle with two narrow ruffles. The waist is quite simple with three-quarter bell sleeves. A vest and collar of white voile gives the dainty touch of white which adds so much to the dainty colors of the new materials.
Girdles and belts which are to be worn with the spring frocks and suits are both wide and narrow and many dresses have none at all, so for once these may be suited to the individual's taste. Wide pleated girdles are to be seen on some dresses, ending with long sash-ends, which are crossed either back or front and tied loosely, and ribbon girdles are very popular.
St. Philip Church
Rev. Singleton's sermon to the converts on last Sunday morning was very instructive and beneficial to them. Evangelist, Rev. G. J. W. McLemore preached his last sermon on Sunday night, after three weeks of successful revival meetings. The resurrection sermon and baptism of converts will be held at 4 a. m. on tommorrow.

The death rate to-day amon our

It naturally follows then, that if

“Can Insurance Help,” an Address De-
livered during Health Week at
Urban League Mass Meeting
By W. S.Scott. 3 *
Insurance Help? in reducing the
amount of sickness among our people
it will be necessary to know what the
insurance companies are doing at. thts
time to relieve the loss and suffering
caused hy sickness and aceldent in
this city. There are six Negro in-
surance companies, and as many more
white companies insuring Negro risks,
operating in Georgia and all of these
companies are represented In Savannah,
uring the year 1914 the six ‘Negro
companies paid out in the way of
losses to policyholders for sickness and
and accident over $61,000. covering 2
multitude of complaints from the or-
dinary exe of ‘Grip’ to the more dan-
xerous typhoid fever, and in accidents
from a seratch on the hand to being
crushed by 2 bale of cotton. All of
these losses are vouched for by a reg-
ularly licensed physician practicing in
the community and are paid at the
proper time,
1 have tibutated the sick claims
received by these companies during
the week of March 15th and find that
the following diseases are represehted :
La Grippe. 227; Pleurisy, 30; ‘Tonsil-
itis, 9; Bronchitis, 18; Pneumonia, 10;
making a total af 2H of diseases of
the respiratory dtgans. Enteritis, 73
Gastritis, 10; Cystitis, 10; Chilly and
fever, i; Congestive fever, 4; Bilions
fever, 21; Catarhal fever, 12; Matarial
fever, 16; Remittent fever, 8; Nephri-
tis, Uy Neuralgia, 4; Appendicitis. 115,
Endocarditis, 6; Dermatitis, 8: Rhen-|
amatism, 9: Accidents, 27; Miscettane-
ous 54. making a total of claims re
ceived during that week of 523 and
making 2 total indemnity to be paid
policy holders of $1,508.50.
You will notice from the figures
just read that a large percentage of
the claims reported during the week in
question is for what are known as pre-
yentable diseases and’ have been told
by competent. physicians that $0 per
vent of the cases of 1a grippe and fe
vers and the kindred complaints could
‘be prevented, and by. proper care of
the body and attention during illness
more of thg sickness under considena-
tion could have been avoided as well
as the'resultant pain and financial loss.
see Will also note that not one cre
fof tuberculosis is reported among the
[523 claims yet we are told that more
of one people die of this dreaded dis-
ease than any other,
From a financial standpoint, Tbe
Hieve that yor will agree with me
that the Insurance companies are do
ing all in their power to replace the
monetary Toss caused hy sickness and
that the improvement in health con-
ditions must come from the people
themselves. However. there is one way,
in which the companies may help that
wil alleviate the amount of sickness
as well as shorten the duration of
most diseases, and that will, be by
adopting the system now used by some
of the largest insurance companies and
provide trained nurses to visit the sick,
to see that medicine prescribed hy the
attending phystetan is taken at the
proper time and preparing nourishing
fool, airing, and if necessary clean
ing the sick room, bathing the patient,
and in a number of sanitary and intel-
ligent ways to assist the patient to
full recovery.
This service could he furnished free
of charge by, the insurance companies
operating among our people and while
this service would not in the beginn-
ing act as a preventative of sickness.
it Would certainly shorten the dura.
tion of most periods of illness, besides
instructing the family of the 1 mem:
ber how to care for the sick raul aveld

Quite often the trained arse so
furnished would be able to detect a
liane for the worse and could take
the proper steps to counteract the
change, even to the extent of recall
ing the physician in attendance. pos-
sibly in this nrumer Saying lives.
Quite often a Sick person will have
a physician preseribe for him and if
the medicine does not give instant re-
lief he will take some patent medicine

Health is the new gospel of to-day.
In this age we are not only trying to

‘The 18th century was one noted for
‘the idea of freedom of thought and

noted for the great amassment of pri-
vate wealth through the natural re-
sources of this country, ‘The 20th cen-

great disparity of death rates of the
Negro ix found in large cities and over-
crowded districts ke certain sections
of our city. It is a common thing in
Savannah to see one Jong house built
either one or two stories high and then
partitioned off~inte three, four, five
or even six housessfor as many fami-
es, with no intervening space for
light or air, ‘To save bricks they are
built near the ground and to save
lumber they are clove between joints
with a low or flat roof and few win-
dows. ~ Then not infrequently the own-
er duplicates this process on the rear
of the same lot, thus making a Veri-
table death trap for the poor people
who must live itr them. ‘This should be
criminal; and the humanitarians of the
city should agitate for building laws
and regulations covering these defects
and impositions.
The Negro can remedy these con-
Gjtions Jargely by owning his own
home and there is but little exet%e
for his not so doing, except that he
is improvedent since in most cases he
can buy with the same money with
which he pays rent. So I appeal “to

The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows will meet in Athens August next. Instead of the leaders and those who are vitally interested in the order discussing measures that will place the order on solid foundation and for the benefit of the brotherhood, many of them are contending for offices. Even if this contention was made upon high premises there may be some excuse, but they are delving too much in personalities and vilification of each other. Where do the excellent teachings of the noble order come in? Are the guilty ones mindful of the sacred obligations taken? All of us have a certain degree of ambition, and in fact we have but slight respect for any man who is not ambitious, but we should not allow this ambition to cause us to violate all sense of propriety and bring into disrepute the order we claim to love by delving in slander and other vituperations. For the good of the order we advise the participants to discuss their differences more calmly. The Tribune has fully decided to insert no more articles of a reflective kind.
The coming heavyweight pugillistic championship contest which is to be staged in Havana, Cuba, on next Monday afternoon is attracting the attention of the entire civilized world where the manly art is considered a legitimate sport. This fight, as has been true in every championship contest in this class since Jack Johnson won the coveted prize in Australia about eight years ago, will have as its principal actors a Negro and a white man, and it is this fact more than any other which gives the coming contest so much prominence. The white man is going to attempt to recover possession of the highest laurels in the pugillistic world for the Caucasian race and the Negro is going to endeavor to retain their possession. A mighty contest promised and each of the principals has millions of staunch supporters who will await the outcome of the battle with much anxiety. The white world is hoping, yea we might almost say praying, that their representative will prove the winner and bring back to them the prize which they have coveted for eight long years, while the Negro race to the man is pinning its hope in the marvelous black man who will represent them. The coming fight is perhaps the most important to the Negro race since the one in which Johnson won the championship, because should he lose there is a strong probability that the Negro will never again get the opportunity of contesting for a world's heavyweight championship. The tendency of the times seems to be to discourage inter-racial matches and, infact, in the lightweight circles the colored fighter is now practically entirely eliminated and this, too, in face of the fact that there are some Negro fighters in this class who could hold their own against the top notchers among the whites. Legislation preventing matches of this kind has been passed in several states, there is a national law against motion picture prize fights in which the principals are a Negro and a white man and we are inclined to think, since the Caucasians have had such ahard time to find a man who might even have a possible chance to defeat the present heavyweight championship holder, that the Negro will be eliminated from the game entirely should the present champion lose next Monday afternoon. As a race we are truly proud of Jack Johnson's standing in the pugillistic world, though we by no means approve of some of the e-capades in which he has figured outside of the ring and would that they were more in keeping with our ideals. But, Jack Johnson is human, he is no different from scores of white men who are and have been engaged in the profession in which he has achieved so much success and we truly hope that his efforts next Monday will retain for him the heavyweight championship of the world.
Negro Granted License to Operate Moving Picture Machine.
Undaunted by the unpleasant experience of being hauled up before the city recorder, because he did not have a local license to operate a moving picture machine, Mr. K. A. Jackson, of Carrollton, Miss., who is in the city with a picture, entitled "Bunyan's Pilgrim Progress, went before the city examiners on Wednesday at the fire department's headquarters and passed a most creditable examination covering every phase of the knowledge necessary for operating moving picture machines.
Mr. Jackson, so far as is known, is the first Negro to receive such a license in this city, and his eight years' experience in operating machines of this kind stood him in excellent stead during the rigid test he was carried through. Mr. Jackson was told that he might engage a white operator during his stay here, but this did not particularly appeal to him so he decided to take the examination, feeling confident of his ability to pass it creditably. The license granted him is for thirty days with the privilege of extension.
This week Mr. Jackson was to have shown his impressive pictures at several of the leading Negro churches, but the distasteful little episode with the city authorities prevented this, most of this week's dates being carried forward to next week. The following are some of the engagements which will be filled by him:
Monday, April 5th First African Baptist church, St. Julian and Bryan streets.
Tuesday, April 6th, Mt. Bethel Baptist Church, Bryan street.
Wednesday, April 7th, St. Phillp A. M. E. Church, West Broad street; at which church Bishop G. W. Macklemore will preach while Pilgrim Progress is being presented.
Thursday April 8th, St. Paul C. M. E. Church West Broad street.
Friday, April 9th, First Tabernacle Baptist Church Alice street. Admission 10 cents to all. Mr. Jackson can be seen at 506 W. Park avenue.
Esther Searlett Wins Doll at Hazzard Hill Public School. $ ^{a} $
Waycross, Ga.—On last Monday the patrons and friends of Hazzard Hill Public school were most delightfully entertained with a spring concert by the school. The program began promptly at 8:30 o'clock and ended at 9:15. The children all showed every evidence of having been excellently trained and not a hitch occurred in the very pleasing and beautiful exercise. The program which was witnessed by a very large crowd, was as follows:
1. "Jolly Soldiers' Drill."
2. Recitation, "Possum", Johnnie Mc Keever.
3. Solo, "I'm going to tell on you," Annie B. Brown.
4. Recitation, "Johnnie Sleepyhead" Logan Cooper.
5. Dialogue, "Bold for the Right", three boys.
6. Hoop drill.
7. Recitation and costume, "Old Kentucky Home.
8. Operetta, "Awakening of Spring."
9. Duet, "Bluebell's Dream," two girls.
10. Physical culture drill.
Prof. R. R. Holmes of the Reidville school gave a short talk after the program. He commended the teachers for their efficiency and complimented the school on the excellent work it is doing under the women teachers.
At the conclusion of his remarks, the principal, Mrs. M. E. Reddick, selected a non-partisan spectator to count the votes in the school contest. The number of votes was as follows: Bernice Starling, 289 votes or $2.89; Frank Moody, 1,189 votes or $11.86; Esther Scarlett, 2,145 votes or $21.45; total votes 3,620 or $36.20. The doll, a beautiful "high brown" Negro doll, was therefore presented to Esther Scarlett, who had the largest number of votes. The money raised in the contest will be used to pay for the piano which the school is buying.
The teachers of Hazzard Hill school are Mrs. M. E. Reddick, Miss A. W. Lindsay and Miss M. L. Mayrant, both of Savannah, and Miss Mabel Parlan, of Brunswick.

Oh! dearest. sweetest husband,
Since you have passed away;
It seems not that it was two years ago,
But only yesterday.
When e'er I speak your loving name;
My eyes with tears are wet,
Oh! husband how I love you,
And love cannot forget.
The Lord took you from me,
It was His holy will;
And left in my heart a vacancy,
Which no one else can fill.

Never shall my memory fade;
Sweeter thoughts shall ever liuger,
Round the grave where you are laid.

To part with one we loved so dear;
Our loss is great we'll not complain,
But trust in God we'll meet again.
Dearest loved one we have laid the e
In the peaceful grave embrace;
But thy memory will be cherished,
Till we see thy loving face.

Who departed this life March 29, 1914.
Oh! mamma how distinctly we remember,
That twenty-ninth day of March;
When you left us that morning,
We did not think it was your last.
Our hearts have been sad ever since,
For there is no one like a mother
Home is not the same,
We miss you every day,
As though it was yesterday.
There is a vacant place in our home,
That can never be filled;
We miss your kind and loving care,
What is home without a mother?
But we can only bow to the will of God
And say, Thy will be done.
The voice at mid-day came,
She started up to hear;
A mortal arrow pierced her frame,
She fell, but felt no fear.

Sometimes, we say and turn our eyes,
Towards the far hills of paradise,
Someday, sometime, a sweet new rest;
Shall blossom flower like in each breast,
Sometime, someday our eyes shall see,
The face kept in memory,
Some day their hands shall clasp our
hands.
Just over in the morning land.
Frances Mason.

Mrs. MARY SWEET
Who slept peacefully away April 4th, 1914.
Dearest mother thou hast left us here,
Thy lost we greatly feel;

He alone our hearts can heal.
Yet again we are going to meet you,
When the days of life are fled;
And with joy in heaven to greet you,
Where no farewell tears are shed.

The Grand Jury to assemble in Macon county may be able to make a record that will astonish some folks that think Grand Juries are only organized for the purpose of running down Negro criminals.

Better Babies
(Continued from page three)
ergo before the birth of the childs
Most of you know of, if not personal:
ly, the genus Granny. Now there are
graanies and grannies and then some
other grannies, ‘These women get the
wort. She is engaged to nttend the

with the expectant mother and father
Dut only as to the size of the fee, and
the promptness of its payment. ‘This
momentous question having heen set-
Head, she goes back home to her work
or to seme other home amd has an-
other consultation.
‘The eventful day arrives, the granny
is called. Now, what are the condi-
o tions that confront the new actor upon
the stage of life? (Pardon me if I
make statements that seem’ hard to
Delieve, but any condition that I re-
fer to T myself have witnessed.) Go

lwarer of the messaze stiting the-na-

my clothes, L started out in mad haste
with greit faith that every thing was

everything would come ont alright.
My faith and trustfulness were treated
tw a rade shock, When I reached the

granny's “Black Bottle.” This pre-
seription is too widely used to any long
er hide its light under a bushel, and so
I'm golug to give it to you.” Common
lard is melted and then granulated su-
gar placed In it, the whole is mixed, up,
and then taking the baby, who may be
anywhere from 1 day to 3 or G months
old, upon her lup she ladles this decoe-
tion in hy the teaspoonful. Now, the
granny in question, the baby being fret
ful, as I safd, before, decided what to
do, but she made a big mistake. She
used the same glass in which she had
mixed the Jaxdanum and lard to mix
the prescription, and she forgot to
wash the glass. Reanlt, baby poison-
ed with laudauum, and for over 48
hours the parents did not call medical
attention, because the granny said the
baby would be all right.
Fscaping all these dangers maybe,
the stranger has one big fight yet in
Lis way. Whatever else is done right,
everybody seems to take an especial de-
light in mlstreating the baby’s stomach
or as Bishop Reese calls it, the “Kittle
Mary.” Probably some of you know
that pain from person: experience. I
do, and T would not and could not wish
for my worst enemy anything worse |
than to haye hls “Little Mary” raise a.
row. But the baby is helpless and
these ignorant mothers stuff them
with every conceivable thing, Not
long ago L sawea case where a three
months’ old Inthy was being fed the
same food as the parents, and the
mother wondered why the baby got
sick,
‘These things are wrong snd account

Live so that at your death the world may say, "A pillar of strength and beauty has fallen."
Masonry's truest exemplars are those whose lives are purest and best.
Political and religious dissentions have no place in Masonic Lodge. Banish them.
Stand firmly by what is right, let the consequences be what they may.
One of our exchanges suggests that the visible tokens brotherhood are the hearty hand clasp and the welcoming smile. If all lodges would apply this to the visitor it would not be long until the much boasted theory of the universality of Freemasonry would be invested with a new meaning.
Power and success wait upon the brother who magnifies his office.—The Masonic Standard.
Masonic friendship is founded upon brotherly love. If it is so founded, misfortune or disaster cannot weaken nor destroy it. It is concreted in David and Jonathan. When the crucial test comes, it is not found wanting. When a brother is in want or distress, then it empties itself in helpluteness. How pitiable is the condition of that Mason who lies down when his brother is set upon by his enemies! Love is not only the strongest thing on earth, but it is the only emotion that prevails in heaven.—Masonic Home Journal.
No man, however lofty or however humble, can isolate himself up in the dark cells of his exclusiveness, determine to live for himself alone. No man, however obscure, can truly say that he is so unknown and so unimportant that he can contribute nothing to enlighten and benefit humanity. He cannot know that, and ought not to assume it. Let the Mason turn his mind steadily to the needs of others and he will be blessed. Let us do some kindly act toward our neighbor while he is yet alive, and not procrastinate until death calls him, that he may know that we have his interest at heart as well as our own.—Selected
HEALTH PROCLAMATION
The following timely proclamation has been issued by Grand Master Butler:
Greetings:—
Peace be unto you is the prayer of your Grand Master and ever shall be until he crosses the bar that separates him, and us all, from that unknown eternity.
This is health week for the twelve or more millions, of colored people in America, and as our members and their families are a part of these millions and as your Grand Master is a physician, he feels it his duty to call the member's special attention to this important matter.
The Grand Master is in favor of health week, as proposed by Dr. Booker T. Washington, but he would urge Masons and their families to, have fifty two health-weeks each year and 365 health days in each year. We are dying too fast, as a race, and we should do all in our power as an order and as Masons to reduce that enormous death rate; we can do it and we must do it; hence this communication is intended to help you as a lodge and help your families through your lodges along this time. We are especially interested in this matter because it means more than we think to die.
Since our last grand session in June 1914 we have lost by death 121 brothers; that means 121 homes left fatherless or without a brother or son. Many of these deaths are due to preventable diseases, which means that if these brethren had had proper warning most of them would be living today.
First, since last June we have lost 121 brothers at a cost to the grand lodge in dollars and cents (to say nothing of their service) $22,000.00. The average funeral expenses to the lodges $2,000.00; the average doctor's bill $2,420. making a final loss to the Masons alone and their families in nine months $28,020.00. This should cause us to pause and think.
Second. What can the lodge and members do to prevent this death rate?
1st. In case of sickness call in a competent doctor.
2nd. Do not spit on the floors of your homes, lodge halls and churches.
3rd. Do not sit in draughts; but ventilate your homes, halls and churches.
4th. Bathe often, drink plenty of water, keep bowels regulated, don't sit up too late at night, take as little patient medicine as possible and do not eat too much just before going to bed.
5th. Screen your homes and halls against the flies as they spread disease. Don't buy bread, milk, pies, cakes and candles that have been exposed to flies and dust.
6th. Don't kiss persons with coughs

and don't allow them to kiss you or members of your family.
7. Keep your homes, front and back yards clean. Keep your stables and cow barns clean, as flies will go from these places to the dining tables and crawl over the food and spread filth and disease from their feet on your food, thence into your stomach and disease and death will follow.
8th. Clean out your wells once or twice a year at least.
9th. Let every member of every Masonic lodge from this day see to it that no filth of any kind be found in or about his home or premises.
10th. Let every brother join in and help his wife clean up the home; see to it that no soiled dishes are left after meals, but that they are all washed as soon after meals as possible. 11th. Use plenty of white wash on the walls of the rooms of the home, out houses and fences as lime will help to kill disease germs. Hoping in this way to reach the members of every lodge and the home of every, member and thus help to reduce the death rate of our beloved brethren and their dear families, your ever watchful Grand Master sends this message, to the lodges, the members and committees.
May the grace and ever saving power of the God we serve go with this message, is the prayer of your Grand Master.
The Grand Lodge meets at our home at Ameriens, June 22, at 9 a.m. when I hope to see you representative face to face and have him tell me and the brethren how he tried to spread this gospel of health to save the life of his members and their families.

PROGRESSIVE NEGRO TOWN FOR ALABAMA
Selma, Ala., March 30-Through the successful efforts of Dr. L. L. Burwell and Prof R. B. Hudson, principal of Clarke's College, plans for the establishment of a model Negro community have been launched. Negotiations have been closed for the purchase of two thousand acres of rich, black prairie land situated about four miles north of this city. A recent issue of the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser has the following to say regarding the project:
The plan is to lay out a town and cut out the balance of the land into ten-acre and twenty-acre farms. The farms will be sold at the lowest price and at the easy terms. As soon as a purchaser has made his payment on the farm he will be given a warranty deed to a lot in the city. However, each owner of a farm must till his farm and not give up the farming as soon as he secures his city plot. The principal aim of the promoters is to foster diversified farming among the Negroes of the county and to alleviate as far as possible the present system of "tenanting" farms belonging to white people.
Plans have already been drawn for a modern school building and contracts will be let just as soon as it has been assured the promoters that the Negroes will support the movement. Churches will be built and everything to make the place an up to the minute city. The land is situated on the Southern Railway and on a fine pike road. Overflowing wells dot the entire 2000 acres and the country is ideally situated to the growing of truck crops. Being only four miles from Selma and Selma's markets, the promoters point out it will be an easy matter for the residents of the tract to bring their products into the city, where they will find a ready market.

Lesson II.—Second Quarter, For April 11, 1915.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, I Sam. xvi, 4-13.
Memory Verses, 12, 13—Golden Text,
I Sam. xvi, 7—Commentary Prepared
by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
It is certainly restful to be in the hands of Him who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will (Eph. 1, 11) and who says, "I will work, and who shall let it" (hinder, or turn back) (Isa. xlii1, 13), provided we have no will of our own in the matter. Even Samuel seems not to have been fully one with the Lord concerning Saul, for he continued to mourn for him after the Lord had rejected him, so that the Lord had to say to him, "How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel?" When we can say, "Even so, Father," "Just and true are thy ways," because we are certain that "As for God, His way is perfect" (Matt. xi, 26; Rev. xv, 3; Ps. vii1, 30), we have entered upon a restful life. Then its continuance depends upon our living in the perfect will of God moment by moment. Note the messages to Samuel in verses 1-3: "I will send thee to Jesse. I have provided me a king. I will show thee what thou shalt do. Anoint unto Me him whom I name unto thee." This left nothing for Samuel but simple obedience to Him who was managing.
Yu should look as we go as coming. Notice the heels of your shoes, when the heels are twisted they will throw your shoes out of shape, which makes a bad appearance when going. In repairing your shoes we make it our special business to restore them to their original shape, no matter how bad they are twisted. Ladies and children shoes are given special attention. All work is carefully looked after by me before going out. J. H. WASHINGTON
But Samuel had an objection, "If Saul hear it he will kill me." The Lord quieted him, and matters proceeded, and Samuel did that which the Lord spake and came to Bethlehem to meet Jesse and his sons (verses 4, 5). The elders of the town seemed to regard Samuel almost as God Himself or they must have had very guilty consciences, for they trembled at his coming until assured that he came peaceably. Those who are walking with God need have no fear of a visit from a man of God nor of the coming of the Lord Himself, for it is possible so to abide that we shall not be ashamed before Him at His coming (I John ii, 28). Having called Jesse and his sons, Samuel thought that he saw in Eliab a fit successor to Saul, but the Lord told him not to look on his outward appearance (verses 6, 7). When we consider Eliab's contemptuous and uncalled for treatment of David a little later (xvii, 28) we do not wonder that the Lord refused him, for He knew what was in man (John ii, 25). Seven of Jesse's sons passed before Samuel, all who had come to meet him, but the Lord's choice was not among them, so that Samuel had to ask, "Are here all thy children?" Then he learned that the youngest had been left at home to keep the sheep, and Samuel said, "Send and fetch him, for we will not sit down till he come hither" (verses 8-11).

I am interested to know how David felt that day when left at home and all the other brothers went to meet Samuel, for, knowing what we do of David, we can easily imagine that he would be more desirous to meet Samuel than any of his brothers would, even though there might be nothing especially for him in it. Some day in the kingdom we may talk with him about that particular day. I never read or write this story or think about it that I do not rejoice to see the Lord's way in it. The young man left at home because he was seemingly of no account on this great occasion, and then all the older brothers set aside and compelled to wait till he came, and then to see Samuel take the horn of oil and anoint him in the midst of his brethren.

I think I can hear Ellab say to some of his brothers as they went homeward. "The old prophet must be in his dotage." There is nothing to it, for they did not hear the Lord say to Samuel, "Arise, anoint him, for this is he" (verses 12, 13). The comfort I get from it is that the Lord looketh on the heart, not on the outward appearance, and when he wants you for any work He will find you and get you there in spite of all obstacles. It is ours to keep quietly on minding our sheep, like David or Moses; thrashing our wheat, like Gideon; plowing, like Elisha; doing housework, like Mary of Nazareth; mending nets, like Peter and John, or whatever else is our regular occupation. The Spirit of the Lord came upon David, but departed from Saul because of Saul's failure to obey (13, 14). God allows us to choose, and if we choose the evil and not the good we have no one to blame but ourselves.
By the advice of Saul's servants he sought some one to quiet him when the evil spirit was upon him, and they recommended David, the son of Jesse, as a cunning player on the harp, a valiant man of war, a prudent man, a comely man, and they also said that the Lord was with him (verses 15-23). Being sent for, Saul loved him greatly and made him his armor bearer. How strange it all seems! God moves in a mysterious way. What a wonderful chapter! How can we refrain from saying, "Lord, take control of me and all my affairs and work out in and through me all thy good pleasure." It would seem that Jesse was an old man at this time, and his family consisted of eight sons and two daughters (xvil. 12; I Chron. ii. 16), but David's mother's name is not given.

One of the things among the many
others of which the Negro business
man In savannah is proud and just-
ly. no, is the Lacmouy which prevails
in their rants. Every; Negro busi-.
ness mun,oue meets in too busy trying
to cooperate with the other men who
do “things and, bring things to pass,
to lose oue prectows moment in listen-
ing to the long tales of woe told by
-tho fault Gules, who iy laboring un-
der the false delusion that some one

men go oo in their even tenor, smil-
ing, planning and working aud put-
fing forth extraordinary efforts to

Man who Thinks Usually Wins
And this is exactly the mission of
the docal heanet of the National Ne-
gro Lusiness League. It is not the
man who keeps everlastingly at it
without any aim or purpose in view,
who nccomplistie, the most for him-
self or for anyoue el-e, as to that mat-
ter, but, on the contrary, the great-
est business edmeation or what not,
is that man who has had training
of thought atoug the particular fine in
which be is enzaged., and without

Therefore, the Negro Budiness Lague
