Humane Sunday And Kind Animals Week
PLANS BEING MADE FOR OBSERVANCE HERE
Ministers and Teachers Asked to Cooperate for Success of Movement Will be Observed Throughout Country.
The object of this observance is for the purpose of securing one Sunday in the year to be set apart for special service calling attention to the need for protection for suffering and helpless children, and also unfortunate animals; the same is to be supplemented by a week of special observances designed to advance the cause of animal protection and universal kindness. The American Humane Association has approved of the plan that the "be kind to animal week" shall precede "Humane Sunday", which would thus become the climax of this humane celebration each year
In order that Humane Sunday shall be generally observed it is necessary to secure co-operation of clergymen of all denominations. It should be borne in mind that while the date for the general observance of Humane Sunday has been selected for May 23rd, and that this Sunday shall be preceded by a week devoted to kindness to animals, these dates are not inflexibly fixed, but may be changed to suit local conditions in different sections of the country, or the convenience of different religious denominations which cannot readily observe May 23. State committees, different denominations or local churches, may vary the date for Humane Sunday within their discretion.
The American Humane Association will also agree to send to all clergymen, who may personally write and request the same, leaflets containing suggestions in regard to Humane Sunday observance, with extracts from sermons which have been given in behalf of kindness to our defenseless and helpless clients. This leaflet will serve as a basis for sermons or remarks which may be delivered by clergymen in recognition of Humane Sunday.
It is suggested that observance of "Be Kind to Animals Week" shall include special services in schools of every description, public addresses, and the preparation of essays and newspaper articles by school children, and others, devoted to the subject of kindness to animals and the recital of incidents showing their intelligence and loyal service. It would also be well to have exhibitions devoted to horses,

CONGREGATIONALISTS IN ANNUAL SESSION
The 47th annual conference of the Congregationalists of New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia has been in session this week at the First Congregational Church, white. White and colored delegates were in attendance in large numbers and all discussed the business before the body and participated in the religious and social functions of the occasion upon equal terms, and without friction of any kind. Many notable addresses were delivered. At the closing session, in the presence of the immense, audience of both races, Secretary William J. Bryan spoke on "The Larger Life."
dogs and cats, or other domestic animals; also work horse parades and similar functions. It is needless to say that the subject of our duty to wild animals and their proper protection should also be given special attention. In one state, at least, it is proposed to have automobiles go through the state for the purpose of distributing humane literature and encouraging the formation of new local antifurial societies as well as to stimulate the activity of those already in existence. The ramifications of this subject are so extensive that it is not possible to deal with all its features in this article.
The special leaflet for clergymen giving information suitable for sermons will only be sent on receipt of a request in a personal letter or post card from each clergyman. This is a nationwide campaign and it will require tens of thousands of leaflets to meet the necessities of the undertaking. Any contribution which can be secured to assist The American Humane Association in this special work, in order to meet the expense connected with the "Humane Sunday" and "Be Kind to Animals Week" observance will be gratefully accepted and devoted only to such purposes. Local arrangements are being made by Mrs. L. T. Weathersbee.

When the Negro school children's races will have been held at the baseball park on next Friday afternoon, May 7th, the brightest and most illuminating page in the history of local athletic affairs will doubtless have been inserted. Indications point not only to the largest crowd ever assembled at the local ball park but also to a manifestation of the liveliest and most rampant athletic spirit ever witnessed here. Thousand of tickets, to be exact fifteen thousand five hundred, have been in the hands of the various school children for the past week and upon every side the little ones can be seen attempting to dispose of them in an effort to help their respective schools win the prizes offered for the school selling the largest number.
Unprecedent is the demand on the part of the general public for the little white and blue tickets which will admit them to the fourth and greatest field-day and athletic meet of the school children and every body who has a drop of sporting blood in his veins will be on hand to cheer the youthful athletes as they attempt to win honor and fame for their respective schools and glory for themselves.
In order to enliven the afternoon, Middleton's brass band of twenty-five pieces has been employed and will lead the thousands of children in singing sentimental and popular pieces. Just what thrills and joys will be experienced by the spectators when listening to this portion of the afternoon's program can best be described by those who were present at the previous races and listened to the singing of the thousands of children, which resounded for miles around the ball park.
That the afternoon will be full of excitement and half-raising finishes may be known from the fact that fully three hundred athletes, all trained to the min

ute, will take part in the twenty-nine events on the program. Fifteen schools and five clubs will be represented and every race promises to be closely contested, with the comics thrown in to give the spectators a little amusement and the boys a breathing spell. The school championship will, doubtless, hang in the balance until the last event for this coveted honor has been run off and the girls will have lent their efforts and thrills to the afternoon's entertainment. The individual championship presents an exceedingly interesting angle. All of the leading athletes at the schools have an eye on this honor and for this reason many of them are entered in a number of events, several of them going into some of the open events; Eddie Brown, of Swangin school, who holds this distinction, is in line for the honor again this year. He is in the pink of condition and expects to give the other boys a mighty struggle before he will re-relinquish it. He is entered in three of the open events aside from the school events in which he is eligible. Many of his admirers believe he will repeat this year and they will not at all be surprised to see him carry off the trophy for the highest individual point winner.
The open events this year have attracted the fastest runners the city has produced in recent years. All the former school stars have sent in their entry blanks and it is a safe prediction that the most thrilling races ever seen here will be witnessed in this portion of the program of May 7th. In the dashes, will be seen such excellent performers as Irwin, Sherman, Nesbit, Brown, Bird, the two stalwart sprinters from the State College and about five others whose names are familiar to every youth in the city. The open hurdle race will probably furnish the real breath taking contest of the afternoon and the way the boys are going to negotiate the little wooden obstacles would do credit to the leading college performers. The two mile run will wind up the afternoon. Fourteen entries have been secured for this event and some excellent time is expected.
There will be special seating arrangement in the grand stand for the various schools. Each school will be assigned definite space so as to allow the children as far as possible to be localized. Because of this arrangement, the schools practically taking up all of the grand stand, it is necessary that spectators who wish desirable seats should purchase box seats, which may be secured at The Tribune for 25 cents. The general admission to the park is children 10 cents, adults 15 cents.
The schools entered are, West Broad, East Broad, Maple, Cuyler, Georgia State College, Beach, Swangin, Presbyterian, Catholic, Berean, Foster, Woodruff, Central Park N. and I; clubs, Y. M. C. A., Harmony, Eureka, Savannah Home Association, Boy's Club Urban League and Amateur Athletic Association. One of the rules which the committee on program wishes emphasized is that concerning the attire of the participants. No participant, boy or girl, will be allowed to take part in the race unless he is uniformed. The larger

MOREHOUSE DEFEATS
TENNESSEE NORMAL
Atlanta, Ga.—In the greatest game of the season the Morehouse Tigers came back strong and defeated the State Normal aggregation of Nashville by the score of 9 to 5. Nance was on the mound for Morehouse and pitched superbly; not a man was able to score until the fatal ninth. Morehouse hit the ball hard from the beginning and by the sixth inning had piled up enough runs to give the old maroon a comfortable lead and ultimate victory, although the run-getting was kept up until the end of the eighth.
In the ninth the visitors had some success and scored five runs when errors coupled with base hits, paved the way. Fisher, the little; catcher for Morehouse, caught a great game and poled out a homer. It is unfair to mention the feats accomplished by the individuals of the home team because the whole team worked in mid-season form. Lee for the visitors did some good batting.
Score by innings:
State Normal.....000 000 005-5 9 4
Morehouse .....004 000 01x-9 12 3
Batterles—Webster and Allison; Nance and Fisher.
Summary—Home runs, Fisher and Wynn; three base hits, Lewis, Smith, Williams, Lee; base on balls, off Nance 2; off Webster 2; struck out by Nance 9, by Webster 2; umpire Murphy.

The twelfth division meeting of the Odd Fellows and Households of Ruth held on last Saturday at Egypt, Ga... was indeed an enthuslastic one. It was a day of jollification. Not a sign of disorder or dissatisfaction, which many had predicted would occur, was in evidence. The meeting was called to order at 10:30 o'clock by the deputy, Ed. H. Burke, and was harmonious throughout. Between fifty and seventy five delegates and visitors were present. After the usual opening formal... the credential committee, with Mrs. E. R. Dennis as chairman, was appointed, and a committee on resolutions, headed by Mrs. R. Ethel Cain.
While the credential and resolution committees were, making up their reports, the grand lodge officers and other visitors were introduced. Those of the grand lodge officers present were District Grand Secretary, B. J. Davis; Grand Auditor E. J. Matthews and District Worthy Recorder, Mrs. R. Ethel Cain. The talks given by these officers were enjoyable. The District Grand Secretary spoke at length and touch upon every line pertaining to the order. His talk was very instructive.
Among the other speakers whose talks demanded attention were C. M. Brinson, J. J. Parker, A. H. Coleman, J. H. Jackson, Geo. S. Williams and T. W. Wintry. Several of the ladies present also spoke.
The report of the officers showed in every detail the condition of the division and they were commended for their excellent records.
W. S. Roundfield of Savannah was endorsed by the meeting for Grand Master.
Just before adjournment for dinner a short program was carried out as follows: Welcome address on behalf of Light of Egypt Lodge by Rev. J. B. Williams, response T. W. Wintry of Eden, Ga.; welcome address on behalf of Egypt Household of Ruth, by Mrs. Viola Tludall, response, Mrs. Ida B. Williams of Marlow. Several spiritual hymns were sung.
As a whole the meeting was a great success and the good people of Egypt did everything possible to make the stay of their guests pleasant. They deserve credit and considerable praise

resistible influence is, it has reft our
suits of frills and faney and left them
for the most part plain creations with
coats medium length and skirts short
even to the top of the higl boots.
In the window of the Fifth Avenue
shop, 2 model of dark blue gabardine
is attracting the gaze of the never ceas-
ing stream of well-dressell women who
frequent the thoroughfare. Suggestive
of a uniform, it boldly stands forth
with patch pockets over the seams, a
small one above the large one below:
the broad belt of white leather that!

ftunmed WH Wide sercules raid
sports a black buckle. ‘The collar,
notched in the most approved manner,
is faced with white broadcloth to match
the belt and bound with black braid
the same as the front and lower edge.
Huge white ball buttons complete the
trimming and below the binding on
the circular skirt, the cuffs of Russian
boots are seen in black patent leather
to match the vamp, while the quarter
is made of white kid. A small turban
of black straw with white wings faring
on either side carries out the balance
of the black and white, marking the
skill of a clever modiste.
Many variations are seen in this
suit, Here it is made with out the
pockets, and there with a shawl collar
in place of the notch., However, if
you start in quest of some really new
fabric you are doomed to disappoint-
ment unless the fabrie be a cotton. In-
variably as you roam through the racks
and models of the cloak and suit de
partments, you see the black-clad
saleswoman pause in front of the chair
of a prospective customer and hear her
say, “A dark, blue serge or gabardine,
shepherd's check worsted or Donnegan
Tweed?” and there «the choice ends,
wumless, as I said before, you want a
cotton for your tailored suit, Here
magic has been wrought with the warp
and woof. Carraval is one of the in-
teresting cottons; it is a material for
all the world like a duvetyne that has
borrowed the knots of ratine, and there
are numberless other good suiting cot-
tons and linens.
Feeling the defects in the season’s
woolens, trimmings outdo themselves,
and in no small measure are responsi-
ble for the success of the tailored styles
for braidings, bindings, pipings, but-
tons and embroideries ingeniously em-
ployed diversify and lend dash to pre-
vent fashions. Suits of serge, gabar-
dine or checked worsted have edges
bound with Hercules braid in black,
white, tan or blue serge, placed in four
rows around the skirt above the hem,
but if there is a preference it is given
to the new silver tinsel braid which ap-
pears in floral borders on the bottom
of the serge and gabardine coats. So
quickly did it come and so smart was
the effect, its popularity was instan-
taneous—to-day in one shop, tomorrow
in another, and by the end of the week
the whole ayenue wears it. Nor are
the borders confined to the tinsel alone.
‘One of the small specialty shops shows
A serge coat with the border in white
silk braid and the effect fs really fetch-
ing, There are other sults, too, with
the borders embroidered with blue silk
flovs. Indeed, variety is endless in
these strictly tailored suits. Their
style is even accentuated by contrast
with the silk models cut on sem!-tailor-
ed lines.
Distinetl¥ different in purpose and,
appearance, the suits with short Zou-
ave jackets in uo wise confilet with the
vogue of the tailored, but are selected
for theater, afternoon and dress wear.
One of New Yory’s most famous houses
has on display an attractive model in
mouse-gray faille silk, the coat short
and boxy and the skirt laid in soft
pleats. Fine silk-corded motifs in the
vorner of the jacket and woven buttons
in self-tones make rich trimming,
The other day in a theater party of
four young girls, who braved the un-
certain April weather to wear their
best to the matinee, two had the new
short jacket suits, one a blue taffeta
with silk-covered buttons placed close
together down the closing and the
other a gray silk with frogs of silk-
rovered cord. In come of the better
chops they are introducing these short
coats in cloth, but taffeta and falle

AMONG THE MASONS
‘A Sacred Trust
A legacy has come inte our posses-
ner and our acceptance of the trast
carries with st a responsibility. that
closely borders upon the sacFed in its
nature. What is this thing that has
come to uy that we must preserve in
violate, and in turn pass it on to our
successors? It is an association of
men, with which we have voluntarily
allied ourselves, haying as its basic
principle belief in God and in im-
morality, with accompansing lessons
and admonition, which if accepted and
practiced tend to lead us, step hy step,
upward and onward toward the high
ideals of life. In brief, it is the better-
ment of human character, along lines
‘Which all good men accept as essen-
‘tials, for whith this great fraternity
of outs is striving. We succeed only
as we cling tenaciously to these es-
sentlals, which we profess to accept,
and which have attracted to our mem-
Vership the wisest and best of man-
kind. It is something real, something
bright, something eternal, that binds ug
together. It is a vitalizing influence,
affecting us according as we permit
it to guide us in our strife to gain mas-
tery over our baser {nclinations, and
to become in approximute measure that
for which we are created. We do not
interfere with the religious duties im-
posed upon men by the divine authority
but suppliment in practical fashion the
various associations that would rightly
direct our footsteps toward the immor-
tal life, distributing as we labor, com-
fort and consolation here, helpfulness
and cheer there, and love everywhere.
And it is so genuine, so quiet, so true,
that it is not surprising that to its
work goud and noble men freely de-
vote xo much of energy and of strength.

Moral Cowardice
Why is it that when lodzes have
awong their membership some obuo®
ioiis character whose conduct is a re-
lroach to Masonry that they will get
him to take a dimit or resort to sul
terfuge to get suspended for non-pay
ment of dues? This spirit of meral
cowardice fs reprehensible and vet
lodges wishing to get rid of a dessolnte
member will give him a demit, thus
providing him with the necessary pass-
port to go out and impose upon som?
innocent lodge. “Instead of having the
moral courage,to perter charges azainst
him they will evade the law and sud-
denly announce to him that he has
been suspended for non-payment of
dues. No one seenis‘to think of tak-
ing the honest, straightforward course
and perferring charges, thus ridding the
institution of a menace. but, on the
contrary, deception and fraud are prac-
ticed just because someone lacks. the
moral courage to' do the right thing.
Such men-are certainly poor examples
to walk in the footsteps of the illus-
trious Hiram, the architect, who had
manly courage enough to stand up for
the rizht even though it cost him ‘his

Purity of Character
Over the beauty of plum and apri-
cot ‘there grows a bloom and beauty
more exquisite than the fruits itself—
a soft delicate flush overspreads its
blushing cheek. Now, if you strike
your hand over that, and it {s gone for-
ever; for it never grows but once. The
flower that hangs in the morning, im-
periled with dew; arrayed with jewels
—once shake it that the beads roll off,
and you may sprinkle water over, it
as you please, yet it can never be made
again what it was when the dew fell
lightly from the heaven! On a frosty
morning you may sce the panes of glass
covered with landscapes, mountains,
lakes and trees, blended with a beauti-
ful, fantastic picture. Now lay your
hand upon the glass, and by the
scratch of finger, or by the warmth
of the palm, all the delicate tracery
will be obliterated. So there is in
youth a beauty and purity of character
which, when once tonched and defil-
ed, caf never be restoreda fringe
more delicate than frost warik, and
which, when torn and broken, will
never he reembroidered. When a
young man leaves his father’s house,
with blessings of his mother’s tears
still fresh upon his forehead, if he
once loses that early purity of charac-
ter, it is a loss that he can never
make whole again. Such is the con-
sequence of crime. Its effect cannot
ye eradicated; it-can only be forgiven.

Shortly after the death of Rev. W. L. Jones, nearly eighteen months ago, who pastored at the church for five years, Rev. J. K. B. Butler, one of the original sons of the church who made good in the ministry and, to his credit, held several important charges in the New England states, through providence returned to Savannah, his birthplace, after many years and reconnected himself to the church. His devoted wife and helpmate did likewise. The board of deacons found him a ready assistant, ripe in experience, prepared in the researches of the gospel and intellectually qualified to carry on the work of the church. His dutiful watchfulness over the members of the church in sickness, death and what not that a faithful pastor would oversee, endeared him to the officers and members.
While the affairs of the church have been carried on most successfully through the efficiency of the board of officers, headed by the late Deacon B. H. Maxwell and subsequently with Deacon Thomas R. Williams, Rev. Butler may well share in the praises that burst forth from the thousands of grateful ones that constitute the membership and the general public who recognize their efforts as a success. The revival meetings which will terminate on tomorrow, Sunday, will bear testimony of his usefulness, and contribution to the spiritual part of the church
work, and, while we will dispense with his service as regularly supplying our pulpit on tomorrow because of the arrival of our pastor, Rev. T. Jefferson Goodall, who will take active charge. We wish to express our grateful appreciation for the valuable service he has rendered us and in return be seech God's benediction on him and that his labors may still be crowned with ardent success in whatever sphere duty may call him.

a
Saturday May Ist, 1915.
That the fleld day sports which will
be held by the Negro school children
on May 7th will be the greatest athle-
tie event in the history of the city
seems to be indicted on all sides.
Never before has the city been so thoro-
ly aroused on account of an event of
this kind and, judging from all out-
ward appearances, a record crowd will
be on hand at the ball park on the day
of the races, It is indeed pleasing
to see.the public take hold of this event
which is for the wholesome physical
development of our children in such a
whole hearted and encouraging manner.
These races which have been held for
the past three years are the only or-
ganized effort which has been put
Yorward for the development of our
children along amusement lines and
the generous patronage which they
have been given bespeaks the hearty
approval of them by the public. It is
indeed encouraging to note the in-
ereased interest which is from time to
time being taken in matters which deal
with the all round development of our
children and we feel that the increased
interest in our anhual field day sports
is but the beginning of a great awaken-
ing in such affairs.
: EDITORIAL -NOTES.
Let us devote a part ofsour time to
help others. This would broaden our
minds and sweeten our Hyves.
Efficiency is the slogan that is now
being wageidls It should touch the life
of every boy and girl, man and woman,
especially of our people.
‘As an employee, make yourself in-
ispensuble and efficient, then you will
demand greater pay and many more
consilerations, :
——
At this the bezinning of the pieni¢|
season, our people Should, be careful
not to be too much of a spendthrift for
pleasure. Be frugal and keep in mind
that the proverbial rainy day” is
Pound to come. =
We have on theregistfation list near-
ly one thousand voters, that number
should be at least ten times larger.
Those who are on the list should not
fail to make their returns before May
first. A failure to make returns means
n double amount to Le paid when tax
paying time comes. The voters and
property holders should attend to this
matter at once.
4 A few weeks ago, during the obser-
vance of Health Week, the suggestion
was made by one of the speakers that
it would be beneficial to the several
industrial Insurance companies and al-
soto the people, if a visiting nurse be
engaged to look after the health of the
insured in these companies, The sug-
gestion is a good one, and the officials
of these companies should fake it up.
The health of the people should be
conserved, and this would be one of
the excellent means to that end.
Within the next two months hun-
dreds of our boys and girls will leave
the various institutions of learning and
begin the real battle of life, Those
of us who are in business will be delug-
ed with applications for positions, ete.
Varents and friends of those children
should readily see the force of this mat-
ter and join the crusade for the unstint-
ed_support of existing places of bust-
hess among us und.the encouraging of
lines in which we are not now engasg-
ed, thereby making it possible for
the need of more employees which Will
have to be secired from among our
own boys and girls,
It is hard to think of a condition of
travel more uncomfortable and barren
of comforts than is to be found in the
cars usually set aside for colored people
on the raflroads. And when to dirty
cars, tired bodies because of lack of
sleeping car facilities, hunger or indi-
gestion, because of such limited chances
to get decent food—when to all this
you-must add a drunken, vulgar brute,
with breath Iike the house of death,
manner ‘less gentile than a hog’s; voice
goose, you have made travel for the
most ordinary colored person a cruel
punishment.—Negro Farmer.
It is a custom in this county to con-
duct the schools in‘the rural districts
only six mouths, from october to
April, Nix months in school is not
sufficient to give to our children that
training that would the better fit them
for more usefulness*in life. These
schouls should be conducted not less
than eight months, and in fact the term
should equal that of our city schools.
It behooves those who are interested
in the welfare of our boys and girls
in the rural districts to take thix mat-
ter up and petition the Beard of Edu-
cation for am extension of the term.
The Tribuue ix ever on- the alert for
these things that bede good for
our people and for that reason hearti-
ly commends this idea smd hopes that
leaders in every school district will be-
stir themselves, prepare a petition and
present same to the Board .of Tiluea-
tion at once.
In this community there are several
hundred institutions among our people,
devoted majnly to the aidins of the sick
and the burying of the dead. There
ee be no critic against these ins.
titutions becuse they are doing good
work, but should we not devote some of
our time, our energy and our weans
looking toward the betterment of the
living? The time is now opportune
for us as a race to be less selfish and
think more of others and the bést wel-
fare of our community. Our white
friends with all of their intelligence and
other qualifications, fin it necessary
to have organizations of an uplifting
character for their boys, their girls,
young men and young women, and for
mental and civic improvements, Are
we not in greater need of similar
justitutions? Ax a starter there should
be u federation of women’s clubs to
work along lines of similar organiza-
tions in cther cities. A real live or-
sanization of this kind can accomplish
much for the improvement of the com-
nunity life. . s

MOREHOUSE COLLEGE ITEMS |
AUanta, Ga.—The greatest social
event of the year occurred April 24th
when the Morehouse students gave
their annual lawn social in honor of
the young ladies of Spelman Seminary.
The day was a gala one indeed. It was
}one of music and entertainment which
‘made ‘everyone happy. A very large
crowd was present. .
In addition to the new $25,000 dom-
itory that is yoon to be erected at
Morehouse this summer there will he
presented to the athletic association
a new athletic field. It is necessary
that we have this new park because the
new building will he erected on the
old athletic ficld, It will be enclosed
and will have a very letticient grand
stand. But before we can accomplish
this we must raise $5,000 in order to
xet the $20,000 offered us, and thix
must be raised by the first of July.
The students and faculty, have already
some plans on foot to raise this fund
and it is hoped that friends will lend
their ‘assistance.
The glee club and orchestra under
the leadership of Mr, Kenper Harreld
fave a concert at the Grand Opera
House in Milledgeville, Ga., Monday
night, April 26th, and the musical was
a complete success. There were read-
ings, solos, selections by the orchestra,
quartette and glee club. <
Captain Brock with bis Tigers will
journey to Tuskegee Thursday where
they will play the Tuskegee aggregation
two games on the 30th and 31st.
Prof. Smalls and wife stopped on the
campus a short while Thursday, April
22nd, while enrute to his home in South
Carolina. Prof. Smalls was formerly

Efficiency is the slogan that is now being waged. It should touch the life of every boy and girl, man and woman, especially of our people.

Our white friends with all of their intelligence and other qualifications, find it necessary to have organizations of an uplifting character for their boys, their girls, young men and young women, and for mental and civic improvements. Are we not in greater need of similar institutions? As a starter there should be a federation of women's clubs to work along lines of similar organizations in other cities. A real live organization of this kind can accomplish much for the improvement of the community life.

The baseball team took a trip to Tuskegee for two games on April 23rd and 24th. The first game was won easily 15 to 4, in seven innings with Fowler pitching. He held Tuskegee to six scattered hits while the Atlanta boys gathered 17 hits including two successive home runs. The batting of Capt. Bell, Fuller, H. Holder and Hodges featured. Bell got four hits in five times up. In the second game Ira Holder was on the mound for Atlanta, but the Tuskegee boys found him for five runs in the fifth, when he retired and Fowler went in and held the Tuskegee boys down so that they got no more runs and only one hit in four innings. The game ended with a score of 10 to 7 in favor of Atlanta. The long home run of Ira Holder with his triple next time up, the batting of Maxwell, Bell and Fuller featured this game. The fielding of the Atlanta team was excellent and cut off several rallies. These two victories make three straight games over Tuskegee, Atlanta having won from Tuskegee in Atlanta by a score of 6 to 3.
The class in art are doing considerable work in out-of-door sketching on these pleasant spring days. This department is doing very good work and some good talent has been discovered among the students.

MOREHOUSE COLLEGE ITEMS
Atlanta, Ga.—The greatest social event of the year occurred April 24th when the Morehouse students gave their annual lawn social in honor of the young ladies of Spelman Seminary. The day was a gala one indeed. It was one of music and entertainment which made everyone happy. A very large crowd was present.
In addition to the new $25,000 dormitory that is soon to be erected at Morehouse this summer there will be presented to the athletic association a new athletic field. It is necessary that we have this new park because the new building will be erected on the old athletic field. It will be enclosed and will have a very efficient grand stand. But before we can accomplish this we must raise $5,000 in order to get the $20,000 offered us, and this must be raised by the first of July. The students and faculty have already some plans on foot to raise this fund and it is hoped that friends will lend their assistance.

MRS OPHELIA MEINTOSH'S DEATH
The sad taking of Mrs. Ophelia McIntosh, the wife of Prof John McIntosh of our city, as sad as such happenings are, awakes in our minds and in the minds of a host of friends, many pleasant memories. It is not, in our opinion, as much to live, as it is to live forever in the hearts of those who know us. There are a host, therefore, who will keep in remembrance, the cheerful smile, the ample welcome and the remarkable affability of this good woman.
As a child she lived in Liberty county, until large enough to attend school. At an early age she came to Savannah and matriculated at Beach institute, from which school she graduated. After which she went back to her home in Liberty county where she taught at Dorchester Academy for two years. She subsequently taught in a parochial school of the Presbyterian Church, giving splendid service in both schools. She then moved to Savannah, Ga., where for many years she has labored to rear or assist rearing a number of children all of whom are contributing a quota to the advance of the race.
Mrs. McIntosh was a constant christian, having in early years performed many of the multiplicities of duties which fall to men and women armed and engined for service. She was a member of the Congregational Church, and was deeply interested in its progress and advancement.
Than what she has contributed to the race, few women can contribute more. Her service will live through her children and those whom she has taught thro the life she lived, the example she set. Her soul, as a consequence, simply passed on, without struggle, from labor to reward, leaving a host of friends to mourn her loss and a good husband and four children to miss her greatly.
E. W. Sherman
Mrs McIntosh died suddenly about 6 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The funeral will take place from the First Congregational Church. Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. She was connected with several institutions, each of which will attend the funeral.
DEATH
Brunswick, Ga., April 17, 1915
Editor of The Savannah Tribune:
Please allow me place upon the pages of your paper to inform the brethren of the Masonic craft of the death of our friend and brother, E. A. Davis, which occurred Tuesday April 6th. Brother Davis, who was a member of Corner Stone Lodge No. 8 had been sick for quite a while. Bro. Davis was both a Mason and Pythian. To know Bro. Davis was to love him. And in the Masonic field, a true Mason has departed from the field of labor and has gone into the realms of the Most High to enjoy the refreshments prepared for the final faithful. Bro. Davis leaves a host of friends to mourn his demise and more especially among the members of Corner Stone Lodge No. S. A. F. and A. M., he being the secretary for many years. Bro. Davis was buried from the Shiloh Baptist Church, of which he was a deacon. The Rev. S. C. Roberts officiated.

TO THE BEREAVED FAMILY OF MRS. JOHN McINTOSH
"A shadow o'er your home is spread
The family link is broken,
The home of joy is now despaired
Your loved one God has taken.
Your moments of joy are turned to
grief
Your smiles are turned to tears.
But God will come to your relief
He always answers prayers.
The Pilgrim sympathize with you
At this sad demise.
We'll meet her in the heavenly home
Where no one ever dies."
Whereas, it has pleased God in his omnipotent power and judgement to take from our midst Mrs. Ophelia McIntosh, the mother of one of our untiming co-workers, a conscientious friend to our force, and
Whereas, the Pilgrim Health and Life Insurance Company's force is always grieved over the grief of one of its number.
Resolved, that the heartfelt sympathy of the force be extended, the bereaved family, and a copy inserted in the minutes of the Pilgrim's record, and a copy be sent to The Savannah Tribune for publication.

Since you are laid to rest.
My heart is buried too;
The stars shines out tonight
As once for me and you.
Last night I dreamed of you,
I thought you came again;

And God will lift the bars;
The shadows all will pass away,
And we will meet beyond the star
And we will meet beyond the stars

MES OPHELIA McINTOSH'S DEATH
The sad taking of Mrs, Ophelia Me-
Intesh, the wife of Prof John McIn-
tosh of our city, as sad ast snch hap-
pening. are, awakes in our minds and
inp the minds of a host of friends,
widar plexsant: memories. It is not,
in our opinion, 2s much to live, as it
is to live forever in the hearts of those
who know us. There are a host.
therefore, who will keep in remem-
hrance, the cheerful smile. the ample
welcome and the remarkable affabi-
lity of this cood woman,
AS at child she lived in-Liberty coun-
ty, until large enouzh to attend school.
At an early age she came to savannah
and nuttriculated at Beach inistitute,
from which school she graduated.
After which she went back to her home
in Liberty county where she tanght at
Dorchester Academy for two years.
She subsequently taught in a parochial
school of the Presbyterian Church,
xiving splendid service in both schéots.
She then moved to Savannah, Ga.,
where for many years she has labored
to rear or assist rearing a number of
children all of whom are contributing
it quota to the advance of the race.
Mrs. McIntosh was a consistant
christian, having in early years per-
formed many of the multiplicities of
duties which fall to men an@ women
armed and engined for service. She
was a member of the Congregational
Church, and was deeply interested in
its progress and advancement.
Than what she has contributed to
the race, few women can contribute
more. Her service will live through
her children and those whom she has
taught thro the life she lived, the ex-
ample she set. Her soul, as 2 conse-
quence, simply passed on, without
struggle, from labor to reward, leaving
a host of friends to mourn her loss and
2 good husband and four children to
miss her greatly. .
rb. W. Sherman
Mrs McIntosh died suddenly about
6 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The
funeral will take place from the First
Congregational Church, Sunday after-
noon at 2 o'clock. She was connected
with several institutions, each of which
will attend the funeral.

Published by the Anti-Tuberculosis Association, Atlanta, Ga., Lesson 3
Q: I saw a medicine advertised in the paper the other day that was said to cure consumption. Are such medicines safe and helpful?
A: No. These medicines kill instead of cure. They are got up by bad or ignorant men to deceive people.
Q: No one should use them you think?
A: No. They are very dangerous.
Q: Does consumption spread very rapidly?
A: Yes, it frequently appears in a family and the other members of the family take it from the one who has it first.
Q: Do you mean that one may inherit the disease, just as one sometimes inherits the personal appearance of one's father?
A: No. The disease cannot be inherited, though one may inherit a weak body from one's parents, which will make one an easy victim of consumption.
...Q: When consumption appears in a family, is there any way of preventing other members of the family from taking it?
A: Yes, this is not hard, if all the members of the family are careful.
Q: What is the most important thing for them to do?
A: To have plenty of fresh air and not to come in contact with any of the spit from the person who has consumption.
Q: Why is this so important?
A: Because, when a person has consumption, all of his spit contains germs of the disease.
Q: And can these germs give the disease to others?
A: Very easily.
Q: How can one keep from coming in contact with this dangerous spit?
A: By seeing that the person who has consumption is very careful where he spits.
Q: Where should he spit?
A: He should always spit in a cup with a cover, and should empty the cup into a store or fire, and should cover his mouth with his handkerchief when he coughs.
Q: What else should one who has consumption do to prevent the disease from spreading?
A: He should be very careful to keep his hands and person clean and not to kiss other persons on the mouth. He should never use a drinking cup or glass that others use.
Q: If a person does all this, is he still a danger to those who live with him?
A: No, and because he is careful he should be treated very kindly.
Q: What else should people do who live in the house with one who has consumption?
A: They should be very careful to keep their windows open and to get plenty of fresh air, and should eat ample nourishing food.
Q: Suppose a person has consumption and wants to go away to be cured, where can he go?
A: There are many places for the treatment of consumption in the United States.
Q: But must a person go so far from home to be treated?
A: It is not necessary. He can take the treatment at home if he is careful.
Q: How can he take the treatment at home?
A: By living in a tent or a room always open to fresh air.
Q: Is there any place in Georgia where a person can be treated?
A: Yes, there is a state San-a-to-rlum at Alto, in Habersham and Hall counties.
...Q: Can all who want to do so go to Alto?
...A: No, because it is not yet large enough to take more than 90 patients. Only a few can go at a time.
Q: Should the state do more?
A: Yes, the state should do all in its power to help the unfortunate.
Q: Have any of the cities places where those who have consumption can be treated?
A: Yes, Atlanta has.
Q: Do you think every city should have such a place?
A: Yes, because they help those who cannot help themselves and save people from great sorrow and suffering.
Q: Can we help do this?
A: Yes, all of us can.
Q: How can we help?
A: By telling people how consumption can be cured and by helping those who are trying to prevent consumption.
Q: Have we any organizations trying to prevent consumption?
A: Yes, the Baoul Foundation, which has offices in Atlanta, also the Anti-Tuberculosis Association, in Atlanta.
Q: Is it possible to care for all consumptives in institutions or in their homes?
A: No; we can hardly hope to do this.
Q: What must we do, then?
.A: We must try to give our people healthy homes.
Q: Why is this so?
A: Because we know that insanitary homes and poverty help spread disease.
Q: Can we ever hope to overcome consumption?
A: In time, yes; if we teach all the people the truth about it, improve our method of life and care for as many careless consumptives as possible.
CUBANS THINK CHAMPIONSHIP
MATCH WAS SHOW FOR
MOVIES, NOT REAL BATTLE FOR TITLE
Queer Conditions Surrounding Willard- Johnson Millin Havanna and Knockout Leave Indelible Doubt in Minds of Majority in Attendance; Johnson Gloats Over Financial Victory.
While the American sport public is priding itself in the fact that the world's heavyweight championship has returned to the white race and for the present at least, Jack Johnson has been eliminated from the pugilistic stage, there appears to be left a certain doubt as to how it all came about and whether or not the big "spade" took the fatal "dive" for the "movies."
It is a fact that ninety per cent of the Americans who attended the fight left with a shade of doubt in their minds as to the real ending of the twenty-six-round burlesque and that very few Cubans feel, that the affair was a real battle. From the following, an extract in a Cuban publication in Havanna which, has graphically depicted the show of Curley, can be gained the impression left with the Cuban public as to the nature of the fight:
"By the far away 'confines of the perhaps'—the sun was dying and the 'black astre' was falling very badly hurt in the ring. This has been a tragedy, one thousand voices assured, but other thousand murmur that all was but a comedy."—La Tropica Comica
Fought Movie Battle
In telling of the Havanna fight between Willard and Johnson, in which all of the glory goes to Willard as the champion heavyweight of the world, American newspaper men have gallantly fought any possible attempt on the part of septical people to promote the feeling that Johnson fought a moving picture show for money instead of fighting a champion-slip battle as advertised. Their pride as Americans and members of the white race have stood in the way of weighing the truth in the balance and they have been content to let well enough alone in order that Willard may be regarded as the real champion. This, no doubt is a noble motive in some respects, but when we have seen a Negro gloating over his earnings at the expense of the public after having sold his title for at least a quarter of a million of dollars that more than that sum may be reaped by the promoters, it makes one wonder what is wrong with the sport critic who has witnessed the affair and is content to allow the public to be fooled.
It happened to be my luck to be in Havana for six weeks before the Willard and Johnson fight at Oriental Park race track on April 5th last, in the capacity of press agent for the Havana fight stadium. I was in Havana before it had been decided to hold the championship battle in Cuba. I watched the development in detail and personally met every man connected with the affair. I watched both Willard and Johnson train daily at the Miramar gardens and at the stadium. I was aware of the conditions of the two men. Johnson was not preparing for a championship match but stalling for a great admission at the stadium by going through exhibition stunts with his sparring partners, Collin Bell, "Steamboat Bill" Scott, Bob Armstrong and Dave Mills. Johnson knew what he was about and that all that was necessary was to prove his superiority over Willard at the boxing game and take the fatal "dive" at an opportune time and allow the championship to pass for the biggest sum possible. In every round of the fight he demonstrated to the public that he is far ahead of the cowboy in the skill of the ring. At times he forced the fighting enough to bewilder the big Westerner and then he would relax and rest in his arms. In the last three rounds of the fight Johnson did not exert himself enough to tire a child. It appears as if he was feigning weakness to make the end look good.
"Two days after the battle Johnson told me that he was in no way fatigued, and that at the end of the twenty-sixth round he was nearly as fresh as when he started. He stated that no boxer in the ring to-day could injure him in his stomach, for they could not hit it effectively. He demonstrated this fact in the twentieth round. I asked him about the knockout, and he smilingly stated that he was always considered a good business man and had already been offered $220,000 for his 50 per cent interest in the pictures. Johnson did not exert
himself enough in the final ten rounds of the fight to weaken a consumptive school teacher. He opened wide at the finish and allowed Willard to rush him to the corner of the ring.
Two misspent stabs to the stomach and a right to the chin which had been partially stopped by his own mitt, allowing him to go to the floor. He leaned toward Willard, turned, sat down and stretched out, his knees in the air and his hand over his face to shield his eyes from the hot sun. The konckout did not look real to the man acquainted with the boxing game. Johnson was not unconscious nor did he show any signs of suffering. He awaited the count of ten, paused, then got up with the aid of his assistants. He smiled, thanked the spectators for their kind appreciation and closed the show.
Feigning Weakness
It was noticed also after the twentieth round that certain interested people were getting nervous as to the outcome, but Johnson, to relieve the feeling of a few, sent word to Jack Curley, who had left the ringside, that he was growing weak and could not last much longer. Has this ever happened during a bout before? In the opinion of many, this meant instead of the S. O. S. of distress that the show had proven a success from a picture standpoint and that the climax, in favor of the white race, was to come off as soon as the opportunity presented itself.
Johnson is known to have stated to one of his best friends and a man who was in his corner, that he could not trust him as to the outcome before the fight. He told this same person, whose name will be withheld, that he had given him enough inside "stuff" in London, nine months ago, to set him right and that he was afraid that something might change the program, should the fact become known.
The solution of the whole thing is quite easy, in my opinion. The right inducement was there to make Johnson sell. He had a purse of $30,000 in his hand and the prospect of a large fortune if the performance was a success. It was the highest price the title could ever be worth. Curley did not frame the Negro to lay down but his inducement was so great that the Negro could not overlook the dough bag. Johnson told me in Havana that he was absolutely tired of being champion of the world. He stated that the novelty had all worn off and that he had not had a moment's rest while holding the crown. "I am tired of it all." he stated and have wanted to retire for months. I will now go back to my farm near Paris, where I will live in quiet, enjoying the money I have collected. I am independently rich. Curley has been my good friend, and I am glad that he has an interest in the championship which should reward him handsomely.
"I am of the opinion that Willard was sincere in his conviction that Johnson was fighting his best throughout the battle and knew nothing of what the Negro was planning round by round. I must say, though, that Willard himself appeared to be the most surprised man in the entire audience when Johnson settled to the floor."
"The affair has, without doubt, put an end to prize fighting in Cuba, a place which had been selected as the happy hunting grounds for American sports and pugs.—G. W. Krick in the Jacksonville. (Fla.) Metropolis

CATECHISM ON TUBERCULOSIS
Published by the Anti-Tubereulosis Association, Atlanta, Ga., Lesson 3
Q: I saw a medicine advertised in the paper the other day that was said to cure consumption. Are such medicines safe and helpful?
A: No. These medicines kill instead of cure. They are got up by bad or ignorant men to deceive people.
Q: No one should use them you think?
A: No. They are very dangerous.
Q: Does consumption spread very rapidly?
A: Yes, it frequently appears in a family and the other members of the family take it from the one who has it first.
Q: Do you mean that one may inherit the disease, just as one sometimes inherits the personal appearance of one's father?
A: No. The disease cannot be inherited, though one may inherit a weak body from one's parents, which will make one an easy victim of consumption.
..Q: When consumption appears in a family, is there any way of preventing other members of the family from taking it?
A: Yes, this is not hard, if all the members of the family are careful.
Q: What is the most important thing for them to do?
A: To have plenty of fresh air and not to come in contact with any of the split from the person who has consumption.
Q: Why is this so important?
A: Because, when a person has consumption, all of his split contains germs of the disease.
Q: And can these germs give the disease to others?
A: By seeing that the person who has consumption is very careful where he spits.
Q: Where should he spit?
A: He should always spit in a cup with a cover, and should empty the cup into a stove or fire, and should cover his mouth with his handkerchief when he coughs.
Q: What else should one who has consumption do to prevent the disease from spreading?
A: He should be very careful to keep his hands and person clean and not to kiss other persons on the mouth. He should never use a drinking cup or glass that others use.
Q: If a person does all this, is he still a danger to those who live with him?
A: No, and because he is careful he should be treated very kindly.
Q: What else should people do who live in the house with one who has consumption?
A: They should be very careful to keep their windows open and to get plenty of fresh air, and should eat ample nourishing food.
Q: Suppose a person has consumption and wants to go away to be cured, where can he go?
A: There are many places for the treatment of consumption in the United States.
Q: But must a person go so far from home to be treated?
A: It is not necessary. He can take the treatment at home if he is careful.
Q: How can he take the treatment at home?
A: By living in a tent or a room always open to fresh air.
Q: Is there any place in Georgia where a person can be treated?
A: Yes, there is a state San-a-torl-um at Alto, in Habersham and Hall counties.
..Q: Can all who want to do so go to Alto?
..A: No, because it is not yet large enough to take more than 90 patients. Only a few can go at a time.
Q: Should the state do more?
A: Yes, the state should do all in its power to help the unfortunate.
Q: Have any of the cities places where those who have consumption can be treated?
A: Yes, Atlanta has.
Q: Do you think every city should have such a place?
A: Yes, because they help those who cannot help themselves and save people from great sorrow and suffering.
Q: Can we help do this?
A: Yes, all of us can.
Q: How can we help?
A: By telling people how consumption can be cured and by helping those who are trying to prevent consumption.
Q: Have we any organizations trying to prevent consumption?
A: Yes, the Baoul Foundation, which has offices in Atlanta, also the Anti-Tuberculosis Association, in Atlanta.
Q: Is it possible to care for all consumptives in institutions or in their homes?
A: No; we can hardly hope to do this.
Q: What must we do, then?
..A: We must try to give our people healthy homes.
A: Because we know that insanitary homes and poverty help spread disease.
Q: Can we ever hope to overcome consumption?
A: In time, yes; if we teach all the people the truth about it, improve our method of life and care for as many careless consumptives as possible.
CUBANS THINK CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH WAS SHOW FOR MOVIES, NOT REAL BATTLE FOR TITLE
Queer Conditions Surrounding Willard- Johnson Millin Havanna and Knockout Leave Indelible Doubt in Minds of Majority in Attendance; Johnson Gloats Over Financial Victory.
While the American sport public is priding itself in the fact that the world's heavyweight championship has returned to the white race and for the present at least, Jack Johnson has been eliminated from the pugilistic stage, there appears to be left a certain doubt as to how it all came about and whether or not the big "spade" took the fatal "dive" for the "movies."
It is a fact that ninety per cent of the Americans who attended the fight left with a shade of doubt in their minds as to the real ending of the twenty-six-round burlesque and that very few Cubans feel that the affair was a real battle. From the following, an extract in a Cuban publication in Havanna which has graphically depicted the show of Curley, can be gained the impression left with the Cuban public as to the nature of the fight:
"By the far away 'confines of the perhaps'—the sun was dying and the 'black astre' was falling very badly hurt in the ring. This has been a tragedy, one thousand voices assured, but other thou-ands murmur that all was but a comedy."—La Tropica Comica.
Fought Movie Battle
In telling of the Havanna fight between Willard and Johnson, in which all of the glory goes to Willard as the champion heavyweight of the world, American newspaper men have gallantly fought any possible attempt on the part of sceptical people to promote the feeling that Johnson fought a moving picture show for money instead of fighting a championship battle as advertised. Their pride as Americans and members of the white race have stood in the way of weighing the truth in the balance and they have been content to let well enough alone in order that Willard may be regarded as the real champion. This, no doubt is a noble motive in some respects, but when we have seen a Negro glancing over his earnings at the expense of the public after having sold his title for at least a quarter of a million of dollars that more than that sum may be reaped by the promoters, it makes one wonder what is wrong with the sport critic who has witnessed the affair and is content to allow the public to be fooled.
It happened to be my luck to be in Havana for six weeks before the Willard and Johnson fight at Oriental Park race track on April 5th last, in the capacity of press agent for the Havana fight stadium. I was in Havana before it had been decided to hold the championship battle in Cuba. I watched the development in detail and personally met every man connected with the affair. I watched both Willard and Johnson train daily at the Miramar gardens and at the stadium. I was aware of the conditions of the two men. Johnson was not preparing for a championship match but stalling for a great admission at the stadium by going through exhibition stunts with his sparring partners, Colin Bell, "Steamboat Bill" Scott, Bob Armstrong and Dave Mills. Johnson knew what he was about, and that all that was necessary was to prove his superiority over Willard at the boxing game and take the fatal "dive" at an opportune time and allow the championship to pass for the biggest sum possible. In every round of the fight he demonstrated to the public that he is far ahead of the cowboy in the skill of the ring. At times he forced the fighting enough to bewilder the big Westerner and then he would relax and rest in his arms. In the last three rounds of the fight Johnson did not exert himself enough to tire a child. It appears as if he was feigning weakness to make the end look good.
"Two days after the battle Johnson told me that he was in no way fatigued, and that at the end of the twenty-sixth round he was nearly as fresh as when he started. He stated that no boxer in the ring to-day could injure him in his stomach, for they could not hit it effectively. He demonstrated this fact in the twentieth round. I asked him about the knockout, and he smilingly stated that he was always considered a good business man and had already been offered $220,000 for his 50 per cent interest in the pictures. Johnson did not exert
himself enough in the final ten rounds of the fight to weaken a consumptive school teacher. He opened wide at the finish and allowed Willard to rush him to the corner of the ring.
Two misspent stabs to the stomach and a right to the chin which had been partially stopped by his own mitt, allowing him to go to the floor. He leaned toward Willard, turned, sat down and stretched out, his knees in the dir and, his hand over his face to shield his eyes from the hot sun. The konckout did not look real to the man acquainted with the boxing game. Johnson was not unconscious nor did he show any signs of suffering. He awaited the count of ten, paused, then got up with the aid of his assistants. He smiled, thanked the spectators for their kind appreciation and closed the show.
Feigning Weakness
It was noticed also after the twentieth round that certain interested people were getting nervous as to the outcome, but Johnson, to relieve the feeling of a few, sent word to Jack Curley, who had left the ringside, that he was growing weak and could not last much longer. Has this ever happened during a bout before? In the opinion of many, this meant instead of the S. O. S. of distress that the show had proven a success from a picture standpoint and that the climax, in favor of the white race, was to come off as soon as the opportunity presented itself.
Johnson is known to have stated to one of his best friends and a man who was in his corner, that he could not trust him as to the outcome before the fight. He told this same person, whose name will be withheld, that he had given him enough inside "stuff" in London, nine months ago, to set him right and that he was afraid that something might change the program, should the fact become known.
The solution of the whole thing is quite easy, in my opinion. The right inducement was there to make Johnson sell. He had a purse of $30,000 in his hand and the prospect of a large fortune if the performance was a success. It was the highest price the title could ever be worth. Curley did not frame the Negro to lay down but his inducement was so great that the Negro could not overlook the dough bag. Johnson told me in Havana that he was absolutely tired of being champion of the world. He stated that the novelty had all worn off and that he had not had a moment's rest while holding the crown. "I am tired of it all," he stated and have wanted to retire for months. I will now go back to my farm near Paris, where I will live in quiet, enjoying the money I have collected, I am independently rich. Curley has been my good friend, and I am glad that he has an interest in the championship which should reward him handsomely.
"I am of the opinion that Willard was sincere in his conviction that Johnson was fighting his best throughout the battle and knew nothing of what the Negro was planning round by round. I must say, though, that Willard himself appeared to be the most surprised man in the entire audience when Johnson settled to the floor."
The affair has, without doubt, put an end to prize fighting in Cuba, a place which had been selected as the happy hunting grounds for American sports and pugs—G. W. Krick in the Jacksonville, (Fla.) Metropolis

Lesson VI.—Second Quarter, For
May 9, 1915.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Memory Verse, ,42—Golden Text,
Prov. xvii, 17—Commentary Prepared
by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
Our lesson topic today is “The
Friendship of David and Jonathan.”
but the lesson verses give only one In-
cident out of many. As our nest les-
son Will be in chapter Xxvl, we will
consider the David and Jonathan in
cidents in chapters xvili to xxii In
chapter xiv the name of Jonathan ts
mentioned twenty-four times, and in
chapter xx it is found twenty-seven
times. His name may mean the gift
of Jehovah, and he surely was such to
David, a real friend’ and comforter,
making us think of Paul's words con-
cerning some of his helpers, “Fellow
workers unto the kingdom of God,
which have been a comfort unto me”
(Col. iv, 11). In our first introduction
to Jonathan (chapters xiif and xiv), in
which we find his name just_ twenty-
eight times, we see him as a bmve sol-
dier, relying upon Jehovah to fight for
him and with him (siv, 6, 7). The next
mention of him 1s after David's defeat
of Gollath, when we read that his soul
was knit with the soul of David, for
he loved him as bis gen soul. He
stripped himself of Mis garments and
armor and put'them upon David (chap-
ter xviil, 14; see also xx, 17; II Sam.
4,26). ‘They were truly kindred spir-
“its, both strong in the Lord. We can-
not but think of Him who emptied
| Himself for us, laid aside all His glory,
‘that He might redeem us, clothe us
with His righteousness and share with
us His Kingdom. We think also of
the disciple whom Jesus loved, who
leaned upon his bosom, but we remem-
ber what is written in Jobn xtif, 1, of
all true disciples, “He loved them unto
the end, to the uttermost” (I. V., mar-
gin).
The next incident is in chapter xix,
1-7, where Jonathan pleaded with bis
father for David, reminding bim that
through David the Lord wrought #
great salvation for all Israel, and so
David was for a time restored to Saul’s
favor, ‘but we saw in last lesson how
worthless and uncertain it was.
In our lesson chapter we see David
returning from Samuel (to whom he had
fied) 0 interview Jonathan and to tell
him that when uear Saul he felt that
there was but a-step between him and
death and to ask him to find out if he
could just how his father really felt
toward him, for it would seem as if
David could scarcely believe that Saul
hated him as greatly as these sudden
outbreaks of temper would indicate.
One may give way to temper again and
again and yet really love the person
spoken or actéd against. How beanti-
fu) was Jonathan's reply to Davjd,
“Whatsoever thy soul desireth I will
even do it for thee” (xx, 4), or as In
the margin, “Say what is thy mind,
what thy soul speaxeth or thinketh,
and I will do it.” What a friend to
have and yet listen to Him who calls
us friends, “If ye shail aSk, anything
in My name I will do it’ John xv, 15;
xiv, 14). Jonathan seems not to have
believed up to this time that his father
meant any real harm to David, prob-
ably attributing all to his fearful tem-
per, for he said, “If I. knew certainly
that evil were determined by my fa-
ther to come upon thee would not I tell
it thee?” (xx, 9.) They went out into
the field alone with the Lord and with
prayer, and, as in His sight, they made |
& covenant the one with the other und
arranged a plan by which Jonathan
would find out certainly what his fa-
ther’s attitude to David really was
(xx, 11-23). When the plan was work-
ed out and Sau!’s anger against David
became so manifest that he tried to
kill Jonathan for taking David's part.
then Jonathan knew that it was de-
termined of bis father to slay David.
So he arose from the table in fierce
anger, for he was grieved for David
(xx, 3234. Then Jonathan in the
morning went out Into the field and
communicated with David by a pre-
arranged plan (xx, 18-24, 35-40).
It was a three days* interval (verse
19}, reminding us of so many three
days’ stories. and it was a morning
farewell that these two friends now
had (verse 35), reminding us by anal-
ogy and contrast of so many morning
stories. The statement in verse 39 that
the lad who gathered the arrows knew
not anything of the significance of his
Joings nor of the real meaning of Jon-
athan’s words to him has often come
fo me with power, as I have given |
His message from His word from time
‘0 thne, simply knowing that I was
eelring to be faithful to him, but not |
snowing anything of what He might
e accomplishing by the message, but ||
ure always that He knew what He].

Lesson VI.—Second Quarter, For
May 9, 1915.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
‘Text of the Lesson, | Sam. xx, 32-42,
Memory Verac, ;42—Golden Text,
Prov. xvii, 17—Commentary Prepared
by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
Our lesson topic today is “The
Friendship of David and Jonathan,”
but the lesson verses give only one in-
cident out of many. As our next les:
son Will be in chapter xxvi, we will
consider the David and Jonathan In-
cidents In chapters xvill to xxill. In
chapter xiv the name of Jonathan ts
mentioned twenty-four times, and in
chapter xx ft is found twenty-seven
times. His name may mean the gift
of Jehovah, and he surely was such to
David, a real friend and comforter,
making us think of Paul's words con-
cerning some of his helpers, “Fellow
workers unto the kingdom of God,
which have been a comfort unto me”
(Col. fv, 11). In our first introduction
to Jonathan (chapters xiff and xiv), in
which we find bis name just_twenty-
eight times, we see him ay a bimve sol-
dier, relying upon Jehovah to fight for
him and with him (aly, 6, 7). The next
mention of him fs after David's defeat
of Goliath, when we read that his soul
was knit with the soul of David, for
he loved him as his own soul, He
stripped himself of his garments and
armor and put them upon David (chap-
ter xvill, 14; see also xx, 17; IT Sam.
4, 26). "They were truly kindred spir-
its, both strong in the Lord. We can-
not but think of Him who emptied
Himself for us, latd aside all His glory,
that He might redeem us, clothe us
with His righteousness and share with
us His Kingdom. We think also of
the disciple whom Jesus loved, who
Jeaned upon his bosom, but we remem-
ber what is written in John xiii, 1, of
all true disciples, “He loved them unto
the end, to the uttermost” (R. V., mar-
“gin).
‘The next incident is in chapter xix,
1-7, where Jonathan pleaded with his
father for David, reminding him that
through David the Lord wrought a
great salvation for all Israel, and so
David was for a time restored to Saul’s
favor, but we saw in last Jesson how
worthless and uncertain it was.
In our lesson chapter we see David
returning from Samuel (to whom he had
fied) to interview Jonathan and to tell
him that when near Saul he felt that
there was but a step between him and
death and to ask him to find out if he
could just how his father really felt
toward him, for it would seem as if
David could scartely believe that Saul
hated him as greatly as these sudden
outbreaks of temper would indicate.
One may give way to temper again and
again and yet really love the person
spoken or acted against. How beauti-
ful was Jonathan’s reply to Davjd,
“Whatsoever thy soul desireth I will
even do it for thee” (xx, 4), or as in
the margin. “Say what is thy mind,
what thy soul speaxeth or thinketh.
and I will do it” What a,friend to
have and yet listen to Him who calls
us friends, “If ye shall ak anything
in My name I will do ft” John xv, 15;
xiv, 14). Jonathan seems not to have
believed up to this time that his father
meant any real harm to David, prob-
ably attributing all to his fearful tem-
per, for he said, “If I knew certainly
that evil were determined by my fa-
ther to come upon thee would not I tell
it thee?” (xx, 9.) They went out into
} the field alone with the Lord and with
prayer, and, as in His sight, they made
a covenant the one with the other and
arranged a plan by which Jonathan
would find out certainly what his fa-
ther's attitude to David really was
(xx, 11-23). When the plan was work-
ed out and Saul’s anger against David
became so manifest that he tried to
iN Jonathan for taking David's part.
then Jonathan knew that it was de-
termined of his father to slay David.
So be urose from. the table In fierce
anger, for he was grieved for David
(xx, 3234), Then Jonathan in the
morning went out Into the field and
communicated with David by a pre-
arranged plan (xx, 18-24, 35-40),
It was a three days’ interval (verse
19), reminding us of so many. three
days’ stories. and it was 2 morning
farewell that these two friends now
had (verse 33), reminding us by anal-
ogy and contrast of so many morning
stories. The statement in verse 39 that
the lad who gathered the arrows knew
not anything of the significance of his
doings nor of the real meaning of Jon-
athan's words to him bas oftenzeomo
to me with power, as I have given

THE
PALM SHAVING .PALACE
In Wage Earners New Building.
. Pery R. Wright, |
Prof. Edgar H. Webster, Principal Normal Department, Atlanta Univ.
I chanced during the past summer to be in the printing office of a colored newspaper, and I found there a student friend of mine running a "Linotype" machine. What he was doing, was simply playing upon a key-board that looks not unlike a typewriter, his fingers following certain "copy" that was to appear in the next issue of the paper. His fingers however controlled those movements of a complicated machine which under his domination arranged the type a line at a time, one "line o' type" after another making up the reading material which should later greet the eyes of the subscribers. Now I believe that I could learn to run a "linotype." It involves keeping your eyes upon the copy while the fingers with "plano-touch" obey the eye in reproducing the manuscript. But a boy was doing it and a school boy at that. It brought to mind the fact, that when a teacher in a northern city, another boy was running at night a telephone exchange at a time when a telephone was new, and before I, his teacher, had ever had any use for a receiver or a transmitter.
Never do I return to my desk in the month of October, but that I find myself interested in the summer work which the young men of the school have found remunerative during the vacation. And I have been surprised at the ability, say of this city to absorb "boy-labor" in June, and to dispense with the same in October. I have often queried in my own mind as to the varieties of work found, and the amount of recompense received. More than twenty years ago I canvassed the student body of Atlanta University upon the summer work of the boys. At that time the country schools were held in the summer, and a large number of the University students taught during the vacation. And I recall that the summer schools taught at that time by the students of this school numbered nearly if not more than 100. That particular means of earning summer money has largely passed. With that experience in mind, this year I have again made a similar canvass of this student body, and for the sake of a large number upon which to base any conclusion, I asked the co-operation of President Hope of Morehouse College in the canvass. Of the more, than five hundred youths and boys in the two schools nearly three hundred had a confidence to give and gave it. It is a good deal to ask of young men to tell "the amount of money earned" even under the promise that the fact, if told, would be treated as confidential. A few cases were answered in such a fashion as says that the writers were spending their vacation normally, at home, that they busled themselves about home matters, and were useful at home, and that their parents paid the term bill. And probably, a good many of the five hundred did not respond to the "questionnaire" because of this reason. There was no definite occupation and had no definite amount of money earned. Right here would be an interesting line of research; namely, an inquiry to what extent the present student body of these two schools, and by implication, of other schools is supported by the parents as against the situation a quarter of a century ago. Without having looked at the problem from this point of view, there is no doubt that a much smaller proportion of the students are self-supporting than then. This evidences a marked gain in the economic status of the clientele of these schools in that time.
These 275 youths and boys repre-ent- ed 43 occupations. Among these, 10 worked at tailoring, 21 at waiting on table, 35 were hotel bellmen, 31 were porters, 17 confessed to doing day-labor, 15 were office boys, 10 were in insurance, 13 were in grocery stores, 17 were delivery boys, 4 were telegraph messengers and 8 ran elevators, 6 did carpentering; 11 worked in barber shops as barbers or porters; 3, only, taught; and 3 painted, 11 were butlers, and 7 in the pullman service, 24 spent the summer at farming. Besides these, the following occupations had representatives: agents for newspapers and newspaper delivery, caddies 3, plasters 2, cooks 3, orderlies 43, book-keeping 1, fireman 1, janitors 2, plumbing 2, brick-laying 2, as chauffeurs 3, as drivers 2, in government service 2, and as moving-picture-operator 1, in drugstores 7.
The above list is not complete; it suggests the variety of occupations open to students, and on the whole no occupations stand out as distinctly open to colored youth as against white youth except perhaps hotel bellmen and porters. Some new occupations seem to creep in as that of chauffeurs, caddie at, the golf links, orderlies, and house-cleaners.
The two best paid were a pullman porter and a barber. Next to these were a pullman-porter and several bellmen. One fireman earned $60.00 a month for three months. The total amount of money earned approximated nearly $27,000 or an average of $100.00
per student who reported. $100.00 seems a fair average, some earned a good deal less and others earned considerably more. The report is creditable and interesting. On the whole the more matured of the youth seem to have earned the most money; this is as it should be. The pullman service seemed to offer a fair reward for vacation service. The other occupations came in for fair emolument. The study shows that a good many of the youth earn a large part of their school expenses by their summer work. A few perhaps mostly lids whose homes are in the city, continue to earn during the school year.
While personally, I might wish that the economic situation were such as to allow more of the student body of our schools to have more of vacation, and not to feel the stress of earning the means of continuing school, still as I think thru this study I see that the summer work becomes a great summer school, in which these youths and boys learn lessons of reliability, versatility, and adaptability, and of getting along with men; and above all the great lesson of independence.
Concerning one lad whose summer record I have followed for several summers, it is said that he never works for anyone without bringing away a favorable impression for personal worth and efficiency. Doubtless this can be said of many others. And every one of these boys and young men who thus left a favorable impression, not only helped solve his own individual problem, but was an effective factor in building up a sentiment favorable to his race.
A. M. E. FINANCIAL BOARD MEETS
The annual meeting of the financial board of the A. M. E. Church opened its session Wednesday morning at the headquarters of the department, 541 14th street. Bishop H. Blanton Parks presided. The report of Prof. John R. Hawkins, secretary and treasurer of the department, showed that in spite the business depression existing in many parts of the country, the department had collected in "dollar money" over $220,000 during the current year, which was practically up to the average of previous years.
As is known by most everybody, this "dollar money" is the general fund of the A. M. F. Church. Each member is obligated to pay into the general fund $1 per annum for the support of the national activities of the church. 36 per cent is used by annual conference in alding wormout ministers and widows of the deceased pastors; 16 percent is dlyided equally between the church extension and educational boards, and the remainder is retained in the general treasury for the payment of salaries of the Bishops and general officers, as well as for other connectional needs. The system of book-keeping in vogue at the headquarters is very comprehensive and has been highly praised by the country's best accountants.
Besides Bishop Parks the members of the board present were: Rev. M. W. Thornton, Boston, Mass.; C. H. Murray, Catonville, Md.; J. M. Gilmore, Cleveland, Ohio; J. R. Ransom, Kansas City, Kansas; R. H. Singleton, Savannah, Ga.; E. J. Howard, Waco, Texas; J. H. West, Montgomery, Ala.; C. H. Allen, South Bend, Ind.; and W. T. Strong, Jackson, Miss.
The Church Extension Board also met at the headquarters of that organization, 1535 14th street. The annual report was made by Secretary B. F. Watson.
NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE WEEKLY LETTER
By J. C. Lindsay
In the next few weeks there will come from our various schools and colleges a number of bright young men and young women, whose minds, from a theoretical point of view, have undergone pains taking and systematic training, say, from seven to ten years and more. These young people, in all probability will go to the various business concerns operated by men and women of the race, seeking employment at their hands.
Have a Right to Expect Positions These young people have a perfect right to expect positions at the hands of their own kith and kind who are engaged in business and whose patronage and support come directly from members of the race. It is indeed an unpleasant thing or task for a member of the race engaged in business and whose support and patronage come directly from members of the race, to be forced to say to an ambitious young man or young woman, who may apply to them for work, "I am sorry, but we find that we are filled out at this time and cannot use you now." This, we say, is indeed painful to the member of the race engaged in business as he thinks of the time when he was young and seeking something to do.
Is There a Remedy for Such Conditions?

ing men and women everywhere. This question is up for settlement and like Banquo's ghost, will not down. This question has racked the brains and puzzled minds of the thoughtful ones since the dawn of the blackman's business career, which had its permanent beginning shortly after his late emancipation.
The Negro Business League Offers the Remedy
The local branch of the National Negro Business League presumes to offer a few suggestions, which it trusts, in a way, will serve as a panacer for at least a few of our business ills, provided they be adopted and carried out. In the first place, every member of the race should see to it that at least a portion of their business be given to every worthy and legitimate enterprise or business venture owned and conducted by members of the race. Second, we should begin early to train our children to patronize the men and women engaged in business. There are many other suggestions which might be hinted at along this line, which, no doubt, would be of some benefit to us, but suffice it to say if these two are adopted and carried out, the race would be made much stronger and rated much higher in the business world, as an important factor than it is at present. Now to be fair with ourselves, lets see how this can be done. All right now, to begin with, we are going to confine our argument at this time to only three subjects, namely, furniture, groceries and industrial insurance.
For example, let us suppose that there are five thousand Negro families in the city, who pay the sum of one dollar per week for their house furnishings; this five thousand regular weekly income would give employment to twenty well paid collectors (Negro of course) and besides paying hand-only on the outlay of capital invested, would also give employment to about six girls who would be engaged as sales women, book-keepers, stenographers and the like. Now, you will agree with us that we have been very reasonable and conservative in our furniture promotion.
300 a. m. Every catholic ought to attend those services, if not every day, at least twice or three times a week. On Monday, May 3rd, our sewing circle will hold a special sale in the basement of the church. Aprons, children's dresses and many other pretty articles of the kind can be purchased. A big framed picture of our Blessed Lady
Groceries, Do You Eat?
Let us say that ten thousand of our people in this community work in service and as a result of such are furnished their meals from the homes in which they serve. This being true, we would still have about thirty five thousand whose daily bread would have to come from some one's store or shop, as the eating business must go o... work or play. Now, to put this in business on a minimum basis for these thirty-five thousand, let us say that twenty cents per day each will feed the twenty-five thousand by buying their groceries in whole sale lots. There groceries would cost them seven hundred dollars per day or forty nine hundred

dred dollars per week, or should you care to figure it by the month it would be just four times forty nine, which makes the amount in round numbers foot up to ninety-eight hundred dollars. These figures, as you see, are placed very conservatively and as low as they are placed, many a deserving young man and young woman could be furnished with paying positions and great and lasting good accomplished for the race.
Industrial Insurance
Forty-five thousand persons paying ten cents per week for their protection against the day of sickness and accident, which surely will come, will amount to forty-five hundred dollars per week. This four thousand and five hundred dollars will give employment to ninety collectors, ten special men, nine girls and give the local office handling that amount a rating at its bank which will mean adding prestige to the race, which it can ill afford to be without. In the mean time, enabling the insurance company to discharge its obligation and keep planted deep into the hearts of the people.

SAINT BENEDICT'S CHURCH
The month of May is called by the Catholics the month of Mary, because it is dedicated to our Blessed Lady. Our dear Mother the Church indeed could not select a better month for special celebrations to be held in honor of God and His dear Mother. In every Catholic church, special services, called May devotions, are held in the morning or in the evening. At St. Benedict's they will take place on week days, in the morning during mass
will be raffled on that same occasion. The doors will be open to you all, form 4 p. m. to 9 p. m. The children of Mary will give a May Party in St. Mary's Hall, Monday evening May 10th. Next Friday, the Most Blessed Sacrament will be exposed to the adoration of the faithful during the whole day until 9 p. m. Tomorrow will be general communion day. St. Mary's School will hold their closing exercises on Monday May 31st. St. Benedict's on June 15th. Our yearly Picnic to Daufuskie Island will take place on July 14th. Several of our children will take part in the races to be held in the baseball park on May 7th, walk out there to see and encourage them.
