PHILIP A. M. E.-SHURCH Temple Maintenace [Closing Ey Is Too Expensive: Wedni THE MEETING OF THE PYTHIAN, OF CHARITY 110 i GRAND LODGE SCHOOL Some Reforms, “Some Restrictions = will be me Kelief. ean Bapt . The time for the convention of the Georgia Pythiany is near at band and everything is in readiness for receiv- ing and entertaining the distingulshed bods. It will be remembered thit this ‘year marks the quarto-century of the order in the state and it would be fit- ting that cognizance‘of the fact he brought to bear} in the yarlous ex- erelces. Up to now, however, we have seen no official preparation for a pro- gram for the commemoration of the year—the natal year of the order in the state. As fs the case before the meeting rumors are afloat at what will be done. It will be of interest to many that measures and not men will be the prime object of this convention. It will be men only as the man can con- tribute to the measures proposed. It will be one of the ‘objects of the con- vention to create a relief fund, inde- pendent of the endowment fund which will be used to relieve the rank and file of the order of recurring taxations. It Is high time, it strikes me. that more constrictive work should he aecom- plished. which work should result iu bringing advantazes to the rank and file, while the rank and file still live. And the sooner the average man arises to the wisdom of this need the sooner will the weights which bear him down fall from their hacks. There should also be some actions taken regulating the Pythian Temple. something that would prevent it from continuing to be a burden to the order. The expense of its maintainence its too great. At the Grand Todge session at Brunswick 2 custodian at a salary of $25 per month was elected. At a session of the commission subsequently a secretary to the commission was elected at a salary of $25 per months, both of which salaries come from the earnings of the Temple. Where is the need of the two? Where Is the ecoa- omy? Thexe things should be changed at the Grand Lodge session. Thes2 things will be changed. ‘Then, there should be legislations restricting the methods of the depu: ties. Too many complaints come to the [Endowment Board showing irregular- ittes in the handling of death indem- nities; and almoxt all the time the grand lodge 1s the loser. Such prac- tices must be prevented that fhe peo- ple will not always haye to pay the fiddler. o Edward Winifred Sherman ‘A FATAL FALL 7 ; eae ‘While sawing a limb on a tree Mon- day last, Mr..John Patterson had a fa- tal fall, which resulted in his death at 6 o’clock in the afternoon.

"What is so rare as a day in June, When earth tries heaven if it be in tune?" So thinks the girl who gathers up her gaily painted sprinkling pot, her shears, her basket, and her kneelingpad, and trudges off to the garden to enjoy an hour or two of solitude and intimate association with the sunshine and flowers. It is quite a fad—this pottering among your own posies; a phenomenon one might almost call it, where the artistic finds expression in paraphernalia which blends with the landscape. The shops abound with gray importations, smocks, bonnets and aprons, to tempt those who tarry within the garden gate. The smocks in themselves are enough to turn one to rakes, spades and garden baskets. I am told the fad originated in England; certainly, it is charming enough to belong to Brittany. The garment has much the appearance of a middy, grown to greater length, coming just below the knee, being slashed, to slip on over the head. Usually it is made with set-in sleeves and ycke, and smock front and back, and on pockets and sleeves. For the most part, linen, unbleached muslin, cretonne and silk are used in the making. © MCCALL A Smock of Blue Linen for the Woman on Gardening Bent All a garden, with cockle-shells and silver bells, needs is a Mistress Mary quite contrary, in one of these fetching garden mocks. Can you picture anything more charming than a bright-eyed girl in a blue mock, white hat, skirt and shoes, among the roses in an old garden? Perchance, there is a woven wicker basket on a cane, stuck in the ground to hold the posles, and a few plant-sticks, with parrots, cardinals, and bluebirds, perched on top, scattered among the flowers to make the picture painted by nature more complete. Just look at a yellow linen smock, with flowered cretonie collar, hat and skirt to match, brings to mind an old fashioned garden with its straight rows of bachelor bottoms, lady slippers and hollyhocks. So it goes that there is a smock for every garden, and no garden is complete without one. Watching passing events, the shopkeeper concludes that all the world is a garden, and straightway fills his window with giddy wheelbarrows all painted with flowers; green basket kits with English tools; smocks aprons, and a thousand and one things suggesting neatness, care and comfort for garden work. There was a garden set offered the other day in one of the shops for $12 complete, consisting of a flat, boat-shaped basket of brown wicker, fitted with shears, a collapsible rule, grubber, marker, rake, brown burlap kneeling-pad, and an apron of the brown burlap. Infact, all the tools now come light in weight to fill the requirements of the woman gardener; and the fixtures in bright colors, to catch her eye. A Belgian who keeps a shop in the down-town section of the city, made a name for himself in the early season, by introducing the garden-sticks; these are wooden canes pointed at one end with figures of animals, people, and flowers on the top, to stick in the ground and tie the plants to. A malden all forlorn stands side by side with the man all shaven and shorn; for $2.50 the pair will hold up your pet rose bush all summer, or keep the golden-glow in order. A black cat with back humped, and tall skyward, is another familiar figure on the sticks, and bluebirds and red cardinals, make bright spots in green shrubbery. Some importations have Dutch windmills on top and an expensive stick has a fairy, gracefully posed on a toadstool. One man has even gon so far as to use bonny rabbits in place of the birds, and an ingenuous friend ties on the gift card: "Standing in the garden trim, May the plant stick straight and tall In the warm sun, By its brightness gladen all." No need, however, to rely wholly on the sticks for color. Bamboo baskets for weeds and knees, are made bright with cushions of figured cretonne; the kneeling-pad of woven rush is bound with red tape, that it, too, may have © MCCALL the spirit of sunshine and flowers; and baskets are enameled and painted with roses, buttercups and daffodils. Even aprons take on a gala day aspect, being made of chintz, cretonne, or quaint, checked, pink gingham. The woman who makes gardening her summer past time may even go farther and select the dress she wears with the apron to harmonize with grass, flowers and dovecote. A brown burlap or dark blue linen will give the desired effect, made with plain walst, full skirt, and the broad organdy collar and cuffs that we have come to call Quaker. She will find no trouble in finding the accessories. The sports shops must have anticipated the craze for there are hats, gloves, and shoes, galore for the purpose. First come the peanut straws and cane-bottom-chair hats, with a floppy brim to protect the wearer. These are trimmed with a rosette of cretonne to match the smock, or apron, a velvet bow or a cluster of straw flowers, then there are poke shapes and sunbonnets with streamers of cretonne which have taken their A Dress of Brown Linen to Wear with style from a peep in a 1915 fashion book; but the Chinese coolie hats are the novelties of the season. With streamers attached to the sides, milady can wear the plateau on her head, or when the sun is just in the east, use it as a basket to carry her flowers Since gloves must be worn to protect the hands, the stores are showing chamois and canvas for this purpose, and if you listen close, you will hear the girl behind the counter tell each customer in a bored voice to buy a size larger than they usually wear. It is easy to tell that this girl, too, has been caught in the thrall of the gardening craze, and is thinking, no doubt, of larkspur and roses, instead of the gloves her customer wears. Garden etiquette even reaches to shoes. White canvas is the approved material, and you may have a comfortable, flat sneaker or trim pump, with medium heel in this fabric. With such settings, fittings and clothes, gardening becomes more than mere pleasure. It now is a real sport of the summer; when you meet a friend, it's not how many miles have you motored, or how many turnaments won, but how does your garden grow since the last drought, rain or storm of the season? TABERNACLE MEETINGS The Tabernacle meetings commenced last Thursday night with a good interest. It is located on the corner of Harmon and Joe streets. Good seats and nicely lighted and just the place to spend the evenings. The public is invited. Come, bring your friends and your Bible. Come take notes and ask questions. Services begin at 8:30 p. m.

There are many men who have entered the Masonic door for mercenary reasons but they have come out again because they did not find what they wanted.—Los Angeles Freemason. The spirit of unrest which is now apparent in so many countries can only be overcome by the spirit of Fraternity bearing its wake justice, truth and right. There is no other solution to the great problem which confronts humanity. It is therefore a source of gratification to know that Freemasonry and the multitude of fraternities are working toward this great end, and though progress may seem hardly discernible, we would fain hope that each year, marks an advance.—Square and Compass. True Masonry No man can study the pure principles of Freemasonry without being impressed with its progressive spirit and its opposition to everything of a retrograding nature. Of all the institutions in the world it is perhaps one of the least elements of retrogradation. Its fundamental principles are based upon right actions between men, rendering to every man his just due. It judges with candor, reprehends with justice and commends all proper and just actions with freedom. It admonishes all to be controlled by its just and righteous dormas. Masonry contains nothing of an autocratic spirit, but deals with all men with equal regard and with respect for honest opinions even if they are not in accordance with the teachings of the fraternity. There is nothing in Masonry that is not in accord with "pure and undefiled religion." Its doctrines are pure and upright and admit of no deviation from the proper course of life. Masonry teaches equality and a proper respect for the opinions of other men, but it is jelous of its own conception of right principle and right action. It is well-known as opposed to all hypocrisy and all false doctrines of right and teaches all its votaries to be honest in all things, just to all men and to practice pure morality in all the walks of life. As every Mason who has given consideration to its teachings knows full well, every true Mason is a good man and of necessity must be upright in all his actions—Masonic Journal. The ritual is essential, because it is the vehicle of teaching the lessons and principles of Masonry. Freemasonry What is the real purpose of Freemasonry? The question is by no means superfluous. The popular conception of Freemasonry as a secret society whose fonds are signs and symbols which are no more than keys to unlock the doors which give entrance The enlightened and instructed are still the great minority. Until craftsmen recognize the true value and position of Freemasonry its power in the world of men must be weakened. Freemasonry is more than an ideal art. It is a life founded upon high teachings. It inculcates moral principles and prescribes practical virtues. This world-embracing Royal Art is tribune; it possesses body, soul and spirit. The body is the workings we see; the soul is the meaning which lies within these; spirit is the life to which we rise by faith and practice. These have one end one purpose. The essence of Freemasonry has been said to be brotherhood. But even this noble attainment is not the end in itself. The true purpose, the ultimate end, is to realize the design of the G. A. O. T. U. in placing man on this earth. That belief in the basic faith of Freemasonry, without which the most be-titled Mason is but a sham, involves a realization of the why and wherefore of our being. We realize that we are not here as solitary units, each free to wander at will for life; that we are part of a solidarity, in which we have our place and function, our privilege and duty our working out or not working out the signs of the great Architect. The outside world may or may not care for these things; a Mason must. He belongs to an order rests upon the belief in the Fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of man, and the immortality of the soul. Freemasonry has survived the shock of time because it is not an abstract faith, but a practical belief, built up on this triple foundation. Masonry is to a greater extent than ever before on trial today. Men tell us it is drifting, that ideals are growing dim, its practices feeble. That cannot be. Till time shall be no more, whether there be none to proclaim its teaching or not, the only true and, ancient brotherhood must go down the pages of hist ory as the herald of an ideal faith. "Faith in God and the unseen is what the world most needs." That is the faith Freemasonry proclaims, but its power to affect the world, to leaven its materialism and differences lies in the life of its members. Whatever elevation we may have reached in the ranks of our order, let us ever remember that we may be worthy Masons, beacons of faith to a God-fighting generation, fit stones in the Temple that is daily in building, that sublime degree is reached only when we have learned to live the life.—The Victorian Freemason.

The sensation of the week was the resignation of William Jennings Bryan as Secretary of State under President Wilson. The main cause of the resignation was the attitude of Mr. Wilson towards Germany in which Mr. Bryan could not coincide. Mr. Wilson has been acting the part of the Secretary of State for quite awhile. This much no doubt nettled Mr. Bryan, then comes the reply to the German note which he considers as being against his peace principles, so rather than surrender this principle, he resigned. Mr. Wilson's troubles have only fairly begun. In many of the Southern States, years ago, colored troops were allowed and maintained. One by one these states disbanded the colored troops. Georgia was better organized than any of the other states, and was the last to disband the colored troops. In event of war, especially of any duration, the colored man will be badly needed, but has he been trained or has he been encouraged to take up arms to fight in defense of his country? He has been proscribed and debarred of many privileges that are justly his and which would embitter any other race but the docile Negro. Despite these wrongs we will protect the flag. From every section of the country petitions and letters have been sent Governor Slaton and the Pardon Commission, to have the death sentence of L. M. Frank, convicted murderer of Mary Phagan, commuted to life imprisonment. After an extensive hearing the commission by a vote of two to one refused to favor the petitions, thus leaving the matter in the hands of the governor. Frank is sentences to be hung June 22. That the local Urban League is doing much good for the community is beyond refutation and that its endeavors are being more and more appreciated is a self evident fact. Day after day the fact is getting more evident that the work of relief and uplift among our people is nearing the place where we shall have to assume it alone. It is indeed not to be expected that others should be compelled to shoulder those responsibilities which we ourselves should assume and yet in work of social and moral uplift the Negro should not be left alone but should be given that municipal aid which is given all other citizens. The Urban League in a pulet, unostentations manner has served the community well during the two years of its existence and what it has done is but a gentle reminder of the magnitude of the work which will devolve upon it in the future. There is no use in our attempting to dodge the issue, if forsooth we have an idea it is not coming, for the time is now here when we must get right down to work and relieve the miserable conditions in which we find so many of our people. The Urban League is destined to be foremost among the local agencies for uplift which our people must look to in the future and it is imperative that the Negroes in general rally to its support. Charity may be and, indeed, in many instances is, extended to unfortunate Negroes by kindly disposed members of the opposite race, as has been the case in the past, but that the general helping hand from the whites is being less freely extended to us is being evidenced on all sides, and the time is now ripe for us as a people to prepare for the assumption of the care of our unfortunate brothers. COMMENCEMENT. ECHOES By Edgar H. Webster, principal Normal Dept., Atlanta University. Sitting one warm summer afternoon upon the porch which overlooked the Atlantic ocean, and with nothing between me and Spain but the rolling billows, my sister put into my hand Stevenson's "Treasure Island" with the remark: "Read the book and let it keep you quiet." I could not be otherwise than quiet as I read the story, and when I had finished, I said: "Schwesterlen, this book affects me as did those rare dime novels of my boyhood." She smiled, thought a moment, and replied: "But there is a real difference. The dime novel managed somehow to make vice alluring and villainy attractive. Stevenson is full of adventure, but he always makes the wrong repellant, and the right attractive. He never touches a false note." Thinking of this, there comes to mind the fact that a former teacher of mine was one of a committee of censors to select books for a small public library. She was the only one of the committee to turn down a famous novel by. an authoress whose books today are not found on any library shelves. "This book", said my friend, "is immoral." The story was that of a young girl, sinned against and sinning who finally, wearied of the struggle to maintain herself, went to a little stream and let the waters flow over her. The novelist concludes the tragedy with the words: "God and the world have been too much for her." With this ending the book was im moral. Those of us who were fortunate enough to listen to the play in Ware Memorial chapel on the night of May 21st, had no doubt of the high order of the play presented. You know the story. Damon, a patriot of Syracuse, is condemned to the block and the axe by Dionysius, the tyrant, whose seizure of power Damon had opposed. To Damon's petition that his wife and child be brought from his country seat for a farewell, Dionysius returned, a decided "no". But Pythias, a general and friend of Damon, intercedes and begs that Damon be allowed from noon to sunset to ride three leagues in order to bid farewell to his wife and child, while, he, Pythias, remains as hostage, to suffer the death penalty if for any reason, Damon falls to return. Dionysius who is a grafter, and who knows human nature only as it can be appealed to thru graft, knows that Damon will not return, and, willing to escape the responsibility of the execution of Pythias, hopes to get rid of two troublesome citizens at once. So in disguise he tempts Pythias to escape. And the temptation is strengthened by the entreaties of Calantha, the fair young woman, with whom this day of execution had been arranged for a wedding day. But Pythias is too single-minded to yield. In the meantime, Damon, who had almost been overcome by the reproaches of this same bride-elect, meets a similar temptation at the hands of his wife, who uses all a woman's arts, wife and power to hold Damon to her self rather to Pythias. True to his friend, Damon resists all the appeals of family love, and leaving his wife in a swoon, he prepares to return to Syracuse. But he finds that his valet has slain his horse to prevent his return. About to kill the valet in his anger a passing traveler saves the day. Having commandered his horse, Damon hastens to the city, that he may keep his tryst at the block. The sun is just above the horizon as Pythias leaves his dungeon for execution. He scans the horizon, half in hope that Damon will not appear, and half in fear that he may. He shirks for a moment from the supreme test of friendship. Just as he lays his head upon the block, Damon thrwn from his horse falls upon the arena. You know the rest of the story. Shakespeare always carries a comedy along with the tragedy in order to relieve the tenseness of the situation. The comedy and tragedy are interwoven. There is no such relief in Damon and Pythias. The play progresses onward with increasing intensity, and there is no relief save at the denouement. In a rendition where all did well it is not worth while to speak of the excellent work of any of the student-actors. So tense, however, does the action become, that as one critic said: "If the actors had not done good work, we must perforce have laughed for relief." Conversely, the fact that we do not laugh evidences the fine work of the performers. Perhaps we may say as another said: "The students have the dramatic instinct." Perhaps this play might offer a good subject for a debate, "Resolve that Daimon showed a finer quality of friendship than did Pythias." And the negative might claim that the fact that a great human brotherhood calls itself "The Knights of Pythias" gives the decision to their side. And Then we do recall that as Pythias raises Damon from the ground upon which his horse has thrown him, the full meaning of what his friend's return means rushes over his mind, and he exclaims: "Oh, Damon, would that by my death I might have saved thee." Could anything be finer? Yet, listen to Damon as thoroughly aroused from the effect of his fall and realizing all that is involved in what Pythias says, he exclaims: "What, Pythias, and didst thou doubt that I would return?" And as the curtain fell upon the climax, I wished that I could have passed each of the audience a card and pencil and have demanded of each that he give me the point of play. I know not but that many would have said that, "The play portrays the beauty and the glory of true friendship and shows how far friendship may go." Ah, yes, yes., That is all there. I sometimes think that there is no finer idea in the whole realm of ideas, than that expressed in the little English word "chum". What man is there among us who does not recall that his entrance into the world of affections was when he, fell in love with his first "chum". This antedates and makes possible all other loves, and the quality of the later loves depends upon the quality of this friendship with the "chum." Truly, friendship is in the story, with its tremendous appeal. But the play touches a higher note even than that of friendship; a note upon which all friendship worth the having must be built. For each of the friends refuses all the solicitations of life and domestic love that he may remain true to his pledged word. Each places honor first; and this, boy, is the point of the play. KINDNESS TO ANIMALS First Prize Paper in S. P. C. A. Contest. By Miss Annullette McDowell It should not be necessary to remind us to be kind to animals. We should accept it as a duty, just as we would our duty towards God, and our duty towards our neighbors. The races that came before us down through the ages, loved and worshipped animals. In India, nations worshipped the white elephant; the ancient Egyptians decorated their tombs with images of cats, and held the cow sacred above all other animals. It is not until we come to our civilization that we find cruelty, unless in cases of religious fanaticism. We wonder at the little boy who rejoices at the misery of a cat or dog when he ties a can to their tails. His crime is no less than that of a man, who drives his horse all day in the burning heat without sufficient water; and one who in unreasoning anger kicks his dog. There is no animal more affectionate than a cat, none cleaner or more affectionate than a horse, none more faithful than a dog. Then why not treat them with all the kindness and consideration due these qualities, as we would a person possessing them? We do not realize the amount of cruelty exercised against animals until we know in every large city there is a society for the prevention of it. It is terrible to think that such a necessity exists, but since it does one must be glad that there are people with so much love and consideration for dumb animals, as to devote time and money for their better treatment. So, whenever many people are gathered together, there we will find a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, in whose noble work we have a constant reminder of our duty, of love and kindness to our dumb friends. STATE APPROVES TEACHERS' CERTIFICATES WITHOUT EXAMINATION. Wilberforce, Ohio. The combined normal and industrial departments of Wilberforce University have been examined by the state supervisor of normal schools and have been placed on the approved list for the training of teachers for elementary schools and special work, such as domestic science, manual training, etc. This recognition by the state department of public instruction means much to the graduates of Wilberforce who are preparing themselves to teach, as graduates from this department are entitled to a teacher's four-year provisional certificate without examination. After twenty-four mouths of successful teaching the holder is entitled to a life certificate of the same grade, good anywhere in the state and recognized in thirty-four states. Students who graduated forlor to 1915 and who had completed a four year high school course before beginning the two year normal course of this department, will, likewise, benefit by this arrangement and many such will find that by slight additions to their professional work they may become entitled to the provisional certificate without examination.

T SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS WITNESSED BY 5,000 Birmingham, Ala., June 9th.—(Reciprocal News Service) Five thousand people witnessed the convening of the Tenth Annual Session of the Sunday School Congress, which was called to order in the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, this city, today by Rev. C. H. Clark, D: D., of Nashville, Tenn., the chairman. The formal opening took place in the afternoon, while Birmingham's welcome and cordial reception were given tonight in the presence of an audience that filled to overflowing the spacious edifice, so much so that it was evident in the two streets on which the church is located. Never in the history of the city has the religious fever run at such heat as was evidence beginning yesterday, when the first special trains began to arrive. In the language of some on the streets, "the pot boiled over" to day when special after special pulled in, all of which were met by cheering crowds and enthusiastic workers bedecked in Sunday school Congress uniform, white congress cap with black visor, wearing badges and carrying pennants, representing some of the organized classes or worded "Sunday School Congress." The finishing touches for the demonstration came when the Sunday Congress special arrived at the Union Station. The entire local committee known as the Central Committee, which is composed of the Baptist Minsters' Conference of Jefferson County and Greater Birmingham, with the three hunter singers, making up a mamothchorus, two brass bands and a waiting public thronged the station to greet the arrival of the Congress special. Magnificent in its appearance was the personnel making up the parade which marched from the station to the church. The National A. I. Boy Cadets attracted the most attention. Sobriety looking in their bearing, they went thru the streets to the tune of "Hail the Baptist' Congress", played by the National Baptist Band, of Nashville, which escorted the delegation and will remain throne the week. "Great is the Sunday School Congress and viliant are the workers of the plan for building front-line Sunday schools" was Birmingham's verdict as enunciated by the various welcomes extended in the formal opening at the church tonight. Distinguished citizens and prominent churchmen participated in the local program which virtually turned the keys of the "Queen City" of the Southland over for the five remaining days which will be devoted, according to the Congress Secretary, to a School of Methods, with general sessions in the forenoon and departmental or sectional meetings in the afternoon. The following departmental meetings will be held: 1. The Cradle Roll and home department—Their benefits to every community. 2. How to secure the co-operation of Teachers in attracting and keeping new pupils in the Sunday school. 3. The advantages, use and results of graded classes in the Sunday school. 5. Winning men to Christ and building up the school thru the Metoka classes. 6. The advantages gained and result attained thru teachers training classes. 7. The Beginners classes—their need in every Sunday school. 8. How the Galedas are building up the Church and Sunday school thru organized efforts. 9. Music—its place in the Sunday school and church. 10. The A. F. Cadets—how boys are trained in the good way. 11. Negro Doll Clubs—How little girls are taught right thinking and living. 12. New ideas in Sunday school movement since 1914 Congress. These departments are under the supervision of able conductors selected from various states in the Union. At the general session there will be but twelve topics discussed, but on some of these subjects the indications are that fully one hundred persons have been written. Not over ten minutes will be given to any person to deliver his or her paper and not over three minutes will be allowed for open discussion. Girticisms are unknown or unheard of on the floor of the congress, while not a motion or point of order has been made during the ten years the movement has been before the public. Four principal events will take place during the week, which, however, will not detract from the general sessions. The key to the congress, declare the officials, is the Bible conference, which opens every morning and spends an hour and a half in the careful study of the Bible by subjects and topics. "Every delegate to the congress to the Bible conference with Bible in hand" is the slogan of the present session. Every Sunday school worker, old or young, big or little, man or woman, who comes with a message must be heard, is the declaration made by Rev. R. H. Boy, D. D., the director of this host that has captured Birmingham.. After the subjects for 1915 session have been written upon and discussed, they will be published in book form, making a volume of study for Sunday school pedagogy. These are the subjects which were read at the opening session: Missionary Conference, National Metokas, National Galedas, Advanced Teachers, Intermediate and Primary Teachers, Denominational Newspapers, Superintendents, Congress Exhibits and Sunday school paraphernalla, cradle Roll, Infant and home Department; Bible Study, National A. F. Cadet, Publicity, Sociological, Negro Doll Clubs. There will be a Metoka and Galeda night, devoted entirely to the demonstration of the organized class effort in Sunday schools. Following this there will be a Boy Cadet night. "Taking of San Juan Hill" will be graphically and picture-squely portrayed by the members of the A. F. Boy Cadets throughout the United states, representatives of which are here in the second encampment. Dunban hotel has been transformed into a barracks. The tap of the drum and the sound of the bugle, with the steady marching feet of many boys, have brought military discipline under religious influence and leadership. The literary entertainment to be given on another night will show the talent that makes up the Sunday schools throughout the country. Glee clubs, quartettes, singing associations, elocationists, able dlyines and musicians of note from the United States at large will appear on the stage. Sunday, known as the Lord's day for the congress, will put the religious idea in the forefront of the civilized world. if demonstration and joyful noise unto the Lord can make it thus, Model and modern Sunday schools will be conducted in seventy-two Baptist churches through Birmingham by the workers that will be sent to take charge of these schools by the congress, while at the general session the Sunday school idea as it pretains to the people of today will be taught. Special services at the eleven o'clock hour follows. Then comes the mammoth street parade that is expected to carry five thousand in line. The parade is to form at the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church and march thru the busy section of Birmingham on the north side to the conjected section of Birmingham on the south side, where the mass meeting is to take place at the Sixth Avenue Baptist Church.

It is longitudinally fenestrated. The inner bamboo is of equal length, but only about an inch in diameter. It is kept in position by means of a short wooden plug. The inner bamboo is coated with birdlime or the like. The outer bamboo is protective. The trap can be placed under bedclothes, among rugs and so forth. Any fleas that go through get caught on the birdlime. The traps might be of great value in connection with plague epidemics.—Dy Milda in Knowledge.

If children are allowed to give vent to all that is joyous and happy and spontaneous in their natures they will be infinitely more likely to blossom out into helpful men and women, instead of sedate, suppressed, sad faced individuals. Children who are encouraged in self expression through their play instinct will not only make much more normal human beings, but will make better business men, better professional men, better citizens, better men and women generally. They will succeed better and have a nobler influence in the world. Joy and fun are great developers, calling out our richest resources, educating our fuller powers. - Nautilus. Barber a Man of Strength. "I suppose that most people," said a barber, "would consider plying the shears and razor as comparatively easy work; they would not expect to find barbers men of muscle. "The fact is that standing all day and even in the easier parts of his work using his arms all day in various positions the barber keeps his muscles in constant exercise, while in such operations as shampooing and massage he is called upon for the exertion of downright strength. "He may not have the muscle of a man always in strict training, but I think you would find that, as a rule, the barber is no weakling."—New York Sun. Court Flight Promised By Alabama Indorsers "What is a resignation?" William F. Benson, Negro President of the Dixie Industrial Company, an organization for Negro uplift, says he has not resigned his job. Clarence H. Kelsey, who is president of the Tile Guarantee and Trust Company, at a meeting of the Dixie corporation yesterday afternoon, insisted he had. He and a majority voted an acceptance of Benson's "resignation" and elected C. Ames Brooks of No 135 Broadway President in Benson's place and Samuel H. Chauvenet of Kingston, N. Y., vice president. Frame-Up Says Bensonite "We were framed from start to finish; the most outrageous case of attempting to railroad an honest man I ever knew of," said Richard Lamm, who at the request of trustees, went to Alabama, investigated Benson and exhonorated him, after the meeting. "Steam rollered" exclaimed Judge Algernon T. Sweeney of Newark, a trustee. "We got it good and plenty. But we are not through." When the Benson followers began their fight the opposition promised they would obtain his resignation which would be presented if grounds remained for asking it, "after he has been given a free, full and fair hearing." It was claimed by them after the first hearing that nothing was fair about it, an dLawyer Leavitt refused to turn over the resignation. After this meeting, however, it is said Leavitt did give Kelsey the resignation. At yesterday's meeting Kelseyites said Benson's resignation was in hand and a vote was in order. "Benson petitioned that he be heard." Mr. Lamb told the World reporter last night. "He was ruled out of order. Then he asked that his witnesses be heard. This was denied. Although men of standing came here from Alabama to testify to his character and acts, the Kelsey crowd would not permit one even to enter the room. Will Take Fight to Couris. Will Take Fight to Courts. "Benson, on advice of former Judge Chilton of Alabama, said he withdrew his registration. They told him he couldn't; that he had handed it in, and went ahead. We did not vote because the Kelsey crowd outnumbered us. "The election of a successor to Benson under the circumstances is clearly illegal. Benson has returned to Alabama where he will carry the fight for his rights to the courts." "Every time Benson tried to say anything in his defense," said Judge Sweeney, "he was sat upon. He hasn't had a square deal." Among the stockholders of the Dixie Company are John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, Seth Low, Oswald Garrison Villard and John H. Converse. Among the allegations made by the anti-Kelsey faction are that the banker forgot the Dixie Industrial was a philanthropic company in his anxiety for big interest on his investment. It was also charged that a Negro education existed, with Hampton and Tukkegee the most important coqs, and Booker T. Washington a leading light. "Philanthropy at 5 per cent" is what the Dixie Industrial uplift organization has been called. The specifications of the charges against Benson have never been made public in full.

With Arms Around Neck She Drags Rescuer Down Atlantic City, N. J., June 7—John E. Stone, a one-armed Negro who push es a boardwalk chair, tonight shamed thousand of men at the beach and Michigan Avenue by braving the sea and saving the life of Miss Mary Donovan of Springfield, Mass. Her companion, Edward Brady, an art glass worker, had been swept away and drowned after getting her to a pilling at the end of a jetty. Frank Steubal, clerk of the Hotel Brigton, helped Stone bring the unconscious girl ashore. Miss Donovan, Brady and several others were splashing in the serf at Indian avenue when she was drawn into deep warter by the undertow. Brady started after her. They felt no alarm at first, as they were not far from shore and believed they would drift in further down the beach. Thousands along the boardwalk gave scant attention, believing the two were taking a leisurely swim with the tide. Got Her to Jetty; Then He Sank But after they had been carried a quarter mile Miss Donovan became exhausted and scheamed for help. Brady was tired, but managed to pilot her to the end of the jetty. As he backed away to avoid a big comber he was flung against a pile. Unconscious, he saik and did not reappear. Promenaders rushed to the beach and rails by hundreds, but none at first ventured into the surf toward the girl, who was being continually battered by waves that threatened to break her weak grip on the pile. Several men finally went into the water, but when they felt the pull of the current at the depth of their waists they came back, leaving her to her fate. Stone was pushing a couple down the board walk when he heard the young woman's screams. He deserted his chair without a word and jeaped the rail to the sand. Dashing thru the mained Negro battled his way thru the breakers. He was flung on top of the jetty and off again, was bruised and cut and was buried often by waves. But every time his head would bob up a little nearer to the imperilled girl. Surf Board Came in Handy Steubel had sprinted three blocks from a point up the beach where he had been bathing. He carried a long cedar surf board, and with this he started out in Stone's wake. When the Negro reached the girl she grabbed him around the neck. Both sank. But stone's head soon appeared above the surface and it was seen he held the girl. His gallant battle toward shore was half finished when Steubel reached them with the board. Together they placed Miss Donovan's limp form across this and got to shallow water. Persons from shore formed a human chain, and Steubel and Stoner were too much exhausted to go back and try to find Brady. No others made an attempt. Miss Donovan was taken to the Atlantic City Hospital, where tonight it is said she would recover. Stoner's wounds were dressed in the hospital. Then he limped back to the rolling chair stand and apologized for having deserted his chair. "That's all right," said the manager. "Your job's safe as long as you want it."—New York World.

Dancing on Talcum Powder. It has been found by experiment that the best dancing floor is made as follows: Upon the ordinary floor a sheet of rubber half an inch thick is spread; a certain smooth surfaced linoleum is laid ever this, and talcum powder is sprinkled upon it every day. The highly polished waxed wood floors of a few years ago are too slippery for the modern dances. The shoemakers soon learned this and introduced pumps with pads of rubber inserted in the soles—New York World.

Text of the Lesson, Ps. cxli—Memory Verses, 3, 4—Golden Text, Ps. cxli, 9. Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. This is not such a fascinating portion for meditation as that of last week. This tells of workers of iniquity and the sauras and gins and nets which the wicked set for the righteous. Yet it is written by the same Holy Spirit. It seems somewhat like coming down from the Mount of Transfiguration to contend with the devil and his works. It reminds us that our adversary, the devil, still goeth about and that we need the whole armor of God for the daily conflict, and if we would not be overcome nor grow weary, we must consider Him who endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself on our behalf (I Pet. v, 8, 9; Eph. vl, 10-13; Heb. xil, 3). It does not matter what particular part of David's life this psalm refers to. He was in the conflict from the time that Samuel first anointed him; before that privately as a shepherd; after that more or less publicly till his death. From the time that a sinner receives the Lord Jesus and thus becomes His redeemed property he is in the conflict with the world, the flesh and the devil and can overcome only by the blood of the Lamb and absolute confidence in Him (Rev. xil, 11; I John v, 4). "Lord, I cry unto thee;" so also in Ps. exclii. 1, 5. "I cried unto the Lord with my voice." No place nor circumstance need hinder our cry to God, for Jonah cried to the Lord from the belly of the fish and was heard (Jonah ii. 1, 2). On this occasion David seems to have needed help at once, for he said, "Make haste unto me." When Peter was sinking in the sea he needed help quickly and cried, "Lord, save me!" And immediately Jesus caught him by the hand (Matt. xiv. 30, 31). The thief on the cross needed salvation quickly, and he obtained it and went to paradise. Prayer as incense reminds us of Rev. v. 8; viii. 3, the latter passage teaching us that the merits of Christ are necessary to make any prayer acceptable and that by those merits every true prayer in His name reaches the throne. We think of the father of John the Baptist offering incense in the holy place while the multitude was praying without, and we see by faith our great High Priest interceding for us as we continue here in prayer Luke i. 8-10). The evening sacrifice reminds us that salvation and service all depend upon His precious blood, for He died at the hour of the evening sacrifice. We need continually to pray the prayer of verse 3. "Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips," for if any man offend not in word the same is a perfect man and able also to bridle the whole body (Jas. iii, 2). "Who so keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles" (Prov. xxl, 23). Elsewhere David said, "I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me" (Ps. xxxix, 1). In Ps. lxxxiv, 10, the writer speaks of being a doorkeeper in the house of God, but here David asks the Lord to be his doorkeeper. The word of God in our hearts is mentioned as a remedy against sin (Ps. xvll, 4; cxix, 11). Verse 4 of our lesson sounds like: "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. May the thought of our weakness keep us far away from all that is evil." Verse 5 reminds us of Prov. ix, 8. "Rebuke a wise man and he will love thee." And yet so good a man as Asa could not stand a reproof, but imprisoned the Lord's messenger (II Chron. xvl, 10). The marginal reading of this lesson verse is helpful and also the revised version. In verse 8. we are reminded of the prayer of Jehoshaphat, "We have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do, but our eyes are upon thee" (II Chron. xx, 12). There also comes to mind Heb. xll, 1, 2. "Let us run with patience the race that is set before us looking unto Jesus." "Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee" (Prov. iv, 25). It is necessary that we look in the right direction and at the right person, for our eyes affect our hearts (Lam. ill, 51). It is blessed when we see no man any more save Jesus only with our selves (Mark ix, 8). The last two lesson verses make us think of Haman, who was hanged upon the gallows which he had prepared for Mordecal; also of David's prayer in Ps. xxxv, 8. "Let his net that he hath h catch himself." See also Ps. vll, 15, "He made a pit and digged it and is fallen into the ditch which he made," and Prov. xxvl, 27. "Who so diggeth a pit shall fall therein." We can safely leave all the workers of influency to work out their own ruin, while we put our trust in the Lord, rely wholly upon Him and live only for Him. When we can say from the heart, "I know Him whom I have believed," we can also add. "And am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day" (H Tim. 1, 12). He is able to guard us even from stumbling, and we may joyfully sing, "If God be for us, who can be against us?" (Jude 24, revised version; Rom. vill, 31).

Phone 2465 NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE WEEKLY LETTER By J. C. Lindsay In its letter of this week the Negro Business League wishes to congratulate the Negro business element in this community for the splendid efforts they are putting forth to measure, up to the high standard set by the other fellow in business; many of whom have spent much time in training for business, in some of the very best business colleges in the country. Our men engaged in business are watching their businesses from every angle. They are learning the value of common politeness, which is such an indispensable asset, not only to the other fellow's business but to the Negro's as well. They are also learning the important lessons of promptness and accommodation, without which one's business is a failure to begin with. Negro Businesses Growing Negro businesses in this community are growing and attracting more attention with each passing year. The Negro man or the Negro woman engaged in business who would measure up to the full standard of the business man of our progressive age, must not be content to stand still, but must keep everlastingly at it. His or their minds must be alert to grasp the multitude of the twentieth century ideas which are teeming in the brightest business minds in America. Whether those ideas were born in the fertile brain of the other fellow or came from one of the humble dusty sons of Ham, should give us but little concern since they are serving as a means to a business end. Stick-to-itiveness After all, this is a very important element in the bases of our business foundation. One of the commendable things with reference to the Negro business element in this community is, that as a rule, they stick to their jobs. There is no rubbing out the fact, that the man who puts brain, energy, and enthusiasm into his work and sticks to it, that man is bound to succeed. At a certain white bank in this city something over thirty-five years ago, a Negro boy was given a position to run errands and go for the mail. As time went on and other boys in similar positions would "be off" for a day three or four times during the summer months to take in the trollly ride and the proverbial steam boat excursion; this Negro boy tenaciously held on to this, the only job he has ever had in his life. As time went on and his services at this particular bank became more and more indispensable, those in authority constantly saw fit to give him a raise commensurate with his worth. He is now a grown man, having grown up with the business and having laid aside a few pennies for the proverbial rainy day, takes to himself a wife; a cultured and refine woman of his childhood acquaintance and to this union comes a large and interesting family, that is a credit to the devoted and honored father who learned early in his boyhood days that he could not hold a responsible position, as clerk in a white bank and "be off" three and four times every summer, taking in the pennies and "having a good time". It might also be said to the credit of the Negro business man who learned early in his boyhood days the importance of stick-to-iteness, that he owns to-day, in this city, a splendid business which is being conducted by his own children, besides much valuable property in various parts of the city. The Negro business League in this letter asks the young man who may read these lines, if he thinks it pays to stick to a job? Many More Like Him in this City In this city there are many more who have held their jobs whitout a single break from a dozen to more than thirty years. The writer has in mind now several men who are splendid examples to young men with ambition who are determined to add their FLAGS PENANTS FLAGS Conve Convention of the Knights of Pythias 458 $ _{2}^{1} $ West Broad St. quota to the permanent development of the race in business in this community, who, like the Negro boy at the white bank, the employed to run errands and go for the mail, finally develops into the confidential clerk in the bank, so it is with these others to whom we refer, went to these places on the Bay, as mere boys and to day they too like the bank clerk, have developed into indispensable confidential assets to the firms by whom they are employed. They do the Race Great Service The service these men do the race, who have been able to stick to one job all the way from a dozen to thirty years, is inestimable. These men are unlike quite a few of our men in business, whose dealings in a large measure are with members of our own race. Not so with these men, but on the contrary, they have business in large proportions both the men of our own race as well as the business men of the other race. Therefore, as will be seen at a glance, these men are in a position to do the race untold good as mediators between the business element of our race and the business element of the opposite race. All honor to our men who are placed, in such positions and are rendering to the race a real service. Ideas like these are those for which the Negro Business League stands, which will meet again at its headquarters, Wage Earners bank building.

On last Sunday a large crowd of Odd Fellows, Ruthites and friends from nearby places, together with the good people of Eden, assembled at the Methodist Church there for the purpose of celebrating the Odd Fellows thanksgiving day. The members of the order gathered at the hall and marched from there to the church. Upon their arrival they immediately began the program which was well carried out. The welcome address in behalf of the citizens was delivered by Prof. Major; response by Andrew Pierce of W. D. Armstrong Lodge Savannah. The welcome in behalf of the order was made by J. H. Hicks. Several other papers were read which were very creditable, T. W. Wintry acted as master of ceremonies and was ably assisted by W. H. Hatterberry of Davis Lodge, Marlow, Ga. Remarks were made by the supervisor and the address was delivered by the deputy Rev. J. B. Brown of Egypt, Ga., preached a soul stirring sermon. It was very instructive and pointed. At the conclusion of the exercises a table was spread and every body partook of the edibles freely. It was a jolly day at Eden, and the good people there did all in their power to make things pleasant. Announcement 5 DR. ANNESLEY S. KING.
