“Talk by the Noted Newspaper Man
3 Were Received With Much, Applause
Chas, Stewart of Chicago, INL. the
only Nezro who is connected with the
Associated Press, delivered two excel-
Jent addresses here last Sunday. At
4:30 o'clock he spoke to a gathering of
men ut the First African Bapt. Church,
Franklin square, and 2t 6 o'clock he
he addresced a Iarge crowd of women
‘at St. Philip A. M. E. Church.
Mr. Stewart, who is one of the most
widely known and best informed Ne-
groes in the country, was very con-
vineing in his addresses and his av-
diences were very much Tenefited by
what they heard. The subjects dis-
cussed by Mr. Stewart before the men
were of vital interest to them, aud he
was accorded words of congratulations
by his audience. He spoke in very
plain languaye and his words struck
home in that telling manner which he
alone knows how to deliver. The au-
dience was a most representative one
and one of the largest ever assembled
on a similar occasion,
‘The talk to the women proved equal-
ly as Interesing as that to the men and
the speaker took advantage of the op-
portunity of advising those preSent of
the many pitfalls that carry, so many
young girls to the bottom. He told
thoxe who were mothers or guardians
to Inform thelr children of the many
foriax of vice which confront young
people and to teach them how to best
ayofil them.
‘Mr. Stewart came to Savannah to be
Present at the Knights’ convention
which met here this week. He address-
ed the grand lodge and was one of the
“prominent visitors here during the
week.

photograpuer was unpire and conduct
ed the friendly and interesting cou-
text in zand style. .AIl the boys had a
great tine and there were refreshments
on hand to add to the general jollity.
The order among the boys was all
that could be desired and they were
particularly obliging and courteous to
the visitors. Since the advent among
them of Mrs. Rachel Moore, matron,
there has ben much of the atmosphere
of real, whilesome home life and par:
ental influence in voxue there. Such
@ condition is, of course, just what Is
necessary to give such boys. a fair
chance and start in Mfe. The discip-
ine in exceflent as evident by the
prompt and: willing obedience, to di-
rections. ‘Then there 14 an atmos-
phere of repression, much In ¢dntrast
to wlint one might expect. “One: strik*
ing feature of tlie day way the neat
and comely appearance of the boys.
Every one was in simple but clean and
orderly attire and showed to good ad~
vantaze. . One could not help but
see the wixdom, of the County Com-
missioners through Mr..Reubin But-
Jer, clerk, pursuing such a plan for
corrective training, As time goes on,
one does not doubt that Chatham Coun-
ty will take rank as being one of the
foremost in reform work. At the sup-
per hour the boys, under thelr lead-
er, known among them as Big Broth-
er, staged a drill and executed some
interesting maneuvers, -to the delight
of all. 7
Rey. W. I. Cash spent the day with
the boys, preaching in the afternoon.

From fhe arrival in the elty Sunday morning of Brigadier General Wynn
nutil the last company broke camp Friday noon the 30 companies at 37 and
Ogeechee road, were the objective point of thousands of people and the little
tent city proved unusually interesting to the throngs who went out to see
“the boys” in camp. Venders by the scores occupied every spot of vantage
and made. a veritable “kflling” during the four days. The compatiies were
all very comfortably situated and the visitors who went out were shown
every courtesy from 7 o'clock in the morning to 7 at night. =
. The Parade ~
The parade of the uniform rank and grand Jodge and grand court on
Tuesday afternoon was beyond doubt the largest and most ‘spectacular
that has taken place in this city in the past fiffeen years. West Broad street,
the principal thorofare on which the crowd congregated to view the parade
was one continuous mass of spectators from Liberty street ent to 37th. Every
Place of vantage was occupied and as the great parade passed between the
tHousands of people banked on either side of the street cheer after cheer
went-up from the proud and well dressed Sir, Knights who escorted the Calan-
thian drill corps and grand lodge officers. Promptly at 4:30 o'clock the pa-
rade, headed by Brig, Genl. Wynn and bis staff, left the camp grounds. Next
In Une came Col. C. A. Andrews with the following companies of the First
Regiment; the Jocal K. of P. band, Joshua Co. B, Feay Co. A, Royal Co. C.
Pluto Co., Beaufort, C. C.; Chatham Co. Fy and Ross cadets. Following these
came the second regiment headed by Col. Lewis Mosley, and. bis staff and
composed /of the following companies: Augusta K. of P. Band, Co. D. MA
ledgerille; Co, I, Americus; Co., K, Valdosta; Co. C, Brunswick. Atlanta
K, of P. band, Co. E, Atlanta; Co. M. Jackson; Co. K, Athens and Shaw
cadets, Athens. Bringing up the rear was the Third Regiment headed by
Col. A, IL, Stewart and staff, Macon drum corps, Co. E, Macon; Co. G, Macon;
Co. I, Thomasville, Creswell cadets, Macon, and three companies formed of
parts of other companies. The ladies’ drill torps of the Courts of Calanthe,
conveyed in auto trucks, followed with five companies, C, A. Catlede, Ma-
con; R. C. Cody, Macon, Curry, Thomasville; Pride of Columbus and Feay
Co. M. Following, these were about fifty carriages with representatives.
The parade as it ‘passéd thru the city elicited much favorable comment,
the general opinién” being that it was the finest fraternal demonstration
ever seén here.
“the Prize Drill
On Wednesday afternoon at the baseball park the competitive company
prize drills took place. There were twelve male companies and four female
companies slated for the contest but rain Interrupted the set programme
and but elght of the male companies succeeded in going thru the maneuvers
before the bad weather intervened. “The spectacle at the park was indeed
thrilling with the sixteen companies banked up beside the south west fence
of the park, the immaculate summer uniforms of the Augusta and Val-
dosta companies standing out conspicuously from the great bank of dark attire
‘of all the other companies. The four bands were seated in the grand stand
and played consecutively until the drill was ended by the rain. The crowd
was the largest ever at the park with the exception of thit at the school
children’s races last May, there being approximately 3,500 present. The down
pour of rain, tho very much unwelcomed, did not in the least kill the ardor
of the crowd, for all during the rain there was music galore and the great
throng in the grand stand made merry while the rain fell in torrents. “Be-
cause of the cessation of the contest, it was concluded next morning at the
veamp grounds before about 2,000 persons. The companies all executed their
commands well and the affair’ proved yery interesting. The judges of the
contest were Major Norleft, Augusta; Maj. Lockhart, Macon; Col Goodwin,
Macon; Capt. Ray, Athens. Col. Ferrell of Atlanta was time Keoper. +

CROWD AT ¥. M. C. A. PLAY -
Excellerit Bit of Dramatic Art Shown
By Club
At the Pekin theatre on Friday of
last week, the much heralded and wel-
comed Young Men's Christian Asso-
clation’s Dramatic Cinb made it inf-
tial appearance in “the superb and de-
lightfal comedy entitled, “For One
Night Only”. The production of the
play was from all view points the fin-
est and most pretentious affair ever
undertaken by amateurs in Sa-
vannah. The acting thru the play
hore every earmark of professionalism
A quality which fs so enjoyable when
seen in amateurs, who are so often
stiff and unnatural,
The plot, simple fe itself, was, in
substance, the story| of a play entitled
“King Titus Tatius" written by Prof.
Goldwhinney, who, in turn, consents
for Spartan Spotts, a,one time actor
and theatrical manager, to produce
the play. he play falls; Spotts ts
driven off the stage. In the mean time
countless amusing situations take place
iu the profesvar’s office, where the
frhole scene ts enacted. Prof, Gold-
whiney, as-essayed by Mrj Joseph
Green, was -an admirable and credit-
able piece of work.> At, all times’ thé
nagged and worried professor could be
seen not only by the excellent delin-
eation done by Mr. Green but also by
his mannerism and his naturalness.
Miss Nettie Houston, as the professor's
wife was natural and refreshing, As
the tantalizing and self willed wife
she enthralled her hearers both by her
fine delivery and by-the beautiful mod-
ulations of her yolce, the effect of
which was very marked on the pro-
fessor. The pretty scene between Miss
Mae Stewart, as Mrs. Marinus New-
man and Mr. Matthew Jones, as Dr.
Leopold Newman, were clever and
amusing. As an Innocent and,anxious
wife who wants to delre into the past
of her hushand’s life, whether it Is
discreditable or not, Miss Stewart's
intonations in the many delicate
scenes were most pleasing. Mr. Jones
stiperbly acquitted himself thruout the
Play by his quick, tense, and support
acting, particularly in the climax
stenes by his fine off-hand work. Miss
Irma Cupley, as Paula Goldwhimey,
was charmingly natural as the pro-
fessor’s daughter. In her fake fainting
scene, which ‘for a professional would
require much talent to effect well, was
most creditably doe by Miss Curley
Mr. Valdore Giles, as Jack Hawkins,
a young and frivolous actor, acted up
to Miss Curley with whom he was in
many scenes. In the card scene Mr.
Giles’ work was his best. Very amus-
ing and natural was bis: work in the
scene when he burst forth into sub-
Ume ectasy, when he was told by Ro-
sa that Paula loved him. Rosa, the
maid servant, as acted by Miss Marte
Moore, was a very enjoyable portrayal
of an innocent, soft, and childish girl,
who fs ever curious, In all the scenes
in which she figured, particulary the
one in which she was caught reading
a‘ card entrusted her to mail by the
professor, she was girlish and pleasing.
‘Mr. Frank Dilworth, with bis rich and
résouant volee, as Mr. Charles Haw-
kins, the lawyer, pleased his hearers
from start to finish. Very humorous
indeed was he in the scene ir which
he assisted the Goldwhinneys in pack-
ing.
Lastly, Mr. Wendell Tucker, wlio, as
Spartan Spurgius Spotts, the theat-
rical manager, is deserving of unstint-
ed praise for the superior “quality of
his acting and for his producing such
a high class entertainment. ‘Thrudut
the play Mr. Tucker, was easfly mas-
ter of his part and acted with the
skill of a professional at all thines.

max scens, bore every é¥ijlence’ of

ia Boys Fall -
- Before Eureka Team
AT THE BALL PANK THURSDAY
AFTERNOON
Esciting Game Played—Score 5 to 4
Two Umpires Used
The most exciting baseball game
witnessed here in many years, played
by local teams, was pulled off at the
Athletic park Thursday afternoon be-.
fore a small put enthusiastic crowd.
| ‘The Home Boys went down in defest
before the Eureka’s, fast aggregation.
It was a good game and both teams
played well, the score being 5 to 4.:
In the opening inning it seemed as
if the Home Boys were going to cap-
ture the coveted prize, they having
scored two runs in the first inning.
but they didn’t, and at the winding up
of the game the boys left with bowed
heads and saddened hearts.
| The Eurekns tied the score in the
‘third inning, making one in the first
and one'in the third; and in the fifth
Inning the Home Boys broke the tie
by putting two over the plate. It did-
not remain that way long, however,
for in the sixth inning, by a wild
throw by BIungin in right field to first
base and repeated by Patterson in the
bos to first base, the Eurekas were-
able to bring in two runs and tied the
score again,
In the eighth inning the Home Boys
had a golden opportunity to win the
game but failed to turn the trick.
Crosby, first man up, got first base on
a pop fly which the short stop and
left fieder did stunts over, stole-
second and third and attempted to
come home on a knock to short by
Riley but was called out by his hon-
or the “ump”. This was a bad decision.
In the opinion of every impartial spec-
tator he was safe at the plate, and
then, too, the uimpire first called him
safe and afierwards hanged bis de~
cision. -In. the same inning the Eu-
rekas Scored one and the Home Boys
failed to connect in the ninth and thus
erited the Fame. y ~~
| ‘The batteries were Tatterson and
‘Ribboha:for the. Houie, Boy's, aud Thom
as and Sims and Heyward and Ginn:
for the Eurekas. Patterson out-pitched
both of the Eurelas pitchers, striking
out five, while Thémas and Heyward
have one a piece to thelr credit.
Hits, Home Boys three; 2 base hits
one, errors four.- Eurekad four hits,
one 2 base hit and two errors.
Two umpires were used Fiddler at
the plate and Monroe on the bases.
After the game the,Eureka team was
taken to the Savannah Home Asso-
eidtion’s reading room and entertained
by the losing team.
THE TRIBUNE SERENADED
‘The Macon Drum Corps, under Lead-
er A. J, Davis and Drum Major 3f.
Dubose honored the Tribune with
a few selections on Thursday. This
sras highly appreciated.
BEN DAVIS ‘WINS OUT
IN 8S. C. M. MEETING
The Sub-Committee of Management
of the Grand United Order of Odd
Fellows of America met in Philadet-
phia this week. Many things of inter-
est pertaining to the Order's’ affairs
in this state was expected to come up
along with other chargesthat, as un-
derstood, had been perferred against
District Grand Secretary B. J. Davis.
Those who attended the meeting ar-
rayed on one side were, Dr. B. W. S.
Daniels of this city, L. L. Edwards of
Waycross, Dr. R. C. Willams of Au-
gusta, R. E, Pharrow and A. Graves
of Atlanta; on the other side were
B. 5. Davis and Col. H. L. Johnson of
Atlanta. The final outcome of the
matter was not definitely known, but it
seems as tho Davis has the best of
the fight, judging from the telegram
which was received in the clty Thurs-
day morning, announcing that “Ben
Davis won out with hands down”.
Mr. Tucker received in the well known
Howard College Dramatio Club, in
which be distinguished himself many
times for his excellent work.

New York July 14 1915—Transparent
hats and furs, velvet head-gears and
low necks—these are some of the things
in the summer fashions that men ques-
‘ton, and even a few women come up to
and at, as the thermometer soars sky-
ward. The Jittle maiden with her
“siskisha” hat goes serenly on; the
girl with the white fox fur hugs them
more closely, and the wearer of the yel-
yet hat stedately rises a parasol
such matters are beyond the compre-
hension of mere man or the woman
who was brought up to view close for
eomfort.

Even the woman who is conservative
with, her dress and suit, casts wisdom
to the winds above the shoulder line.
What lies above bespeaks ‘the true wo-
man who, in her heart of hearts, loves
the fantasies of fashion. The demure
Quaker and saucy “Chin-Chin” collar,
‘the flappy hat and stiff-brimmed sailor,
even the plug hat of silk beaver fringe

at the races, appeals to those of us
who like something “different”.
‘The mode breathes romance, and
romance is what fashion thrives on.
Every hat and every collar awakens a

teresting to note that the Quaker col-
lar has its origin in the collar of the
man’s costume. How scandalized the
shades of the old time Quaker and
Puritan must be to see their collar
made in frivolous organdy, Swiss and
cretonne! Jabots and frills come from
another period when French court-
jers wore fur-belows. In modern
times, Sarah Bernheart gives her fam-
ous youth-ziving frill to the high col-
Jar; while the flaring half collans that
are still shown on dresses and waists
harp back to the portrait or Shelley.
Nor is the mode without humor;
“Chiu-Chin” collars, aimed at a giddy
masquerade costume, have gone far
-Off the mark and appear dn coats.
Past modes are drawn on for hats,
too. Jn an exclusiye shop, just off the
Avenue, one of the girls of the younger
set ordered a garden hat the other day
of white chip, with a pyramid of pink
res—the exact duplicate of the hat
her sreat-grand-mother wore whe she
‘tripped across the lawns at the Capitol.
Ail these garden hats of leghorn and
Milan recall Colonint days. Iiven the
“riskisha”, imported in spirit from Ja-
pan, smacks of this style when trim-
med with roses, the black varnished
cord of which it is made contrasting
with the light frocks,
Broadly speaking, the hats of the
season are divided into four clases;
these portrait-fashion garden‘ bats,
stiff-brimmed sailors that bespeaks
the past or the present, according to
the” materials and trimmings; — the
sports hats, borrowed from the four
coniers of the zlobe, and Jast, but not
' least, the cocky turbans, which show
tee note in millinery.
stiff-brimmed sallors are a
chapter in themselves. Already, the
straws’ are on the wane. Chiffon
brims we have tired of, and so the at-
jfention naturally turns to sailors of
blue taffeta, black velvet and cretonne.
“America”, the ‘whit leather-faced,
Blue taffeta, is a worthy emblem of the
country from which it takes its name.
[Wutte beaded wings for trimmihg

and the glory of the ancient Rome
Hes in other bead trimmings for other
taffeta hats.
Black yelvets, shiny and plushy as
cat's fur, are embroidered with fleecy
white wool as wintry as possible to
shock the sun of summer. Birds and
animals in the wool crawl over the
crowns, and the brims are invariably
finished in old-fashioned quilt-stitch,
varied in length to make a design.
With white linen and eretonne cos-
tumes, “Mistress Mary” eretonne hats
make, a smart finish. These need no
trimming, the bright collors being gay
enough for amy summer landscape,
whether mountains, country or shore.
Sports hats come from old nooks
and corners, The’ latest a dark blue
taffeta, is decidedly Chinese in aspect.
It has a sloping brim, with a soft edge
an inch wide that flaps down and
shades the face, dented on one side
with heavy balls suspended from the
ends of a cord tied around the crown.
Scotland contributed the tam, and
there is a soft hat made completely
of narrow bias stripes of silk that is
finding favor under a ‘Sfadein-Amer-
ca” Jabel.

Those of the turbans that are smart

At the present time hats come un-

white prevailing, dark blue being the
exception that proves the rule. Later,
when suits grow darker, no doubt, hats
will gain in brilliance. Already in

THE SENIOR CLASS, °15
+eeemal Dept., Atlanta. University..,-
In a recent issne of The Tribune
I made the prophecy that the collese-
gradm/ eponsus jamong colored peo-
ple for the decade 1910-20, would be
2400, The prophecy was based upop
reports of previous decades. Iam
yery glad to find in the educational
number of the Crisis, the July num-
ber, further warrant for the number,
2,400 with, on my part, expectatation
that the-number is too small.
If there are to be 2.400 colored col-
fleze graduates jin the decade thru
which we are passing, there must be
an average of 240 each year. The
Crisis calls attention that the number
for the year "15 was 250, and for the
present year is 281. If one were to
construct a graph,of the graduate
numbers from year to year, with the
ordinates as the yearly census, and
the abseissae as the advancing years,
the resulting Ine would be an as-
cending curve of increasing ‘steepness.
The Crisis disclaims presenting com-
‘plete figures, and states that when the
full returns are in, the number will ex-
ceed that stated above. Of this num.
ber (281), 243 are graduates of col-
ored schools, leaving 38 or about 14
percent as graduates from northern
colleges and untyersities. To these
figures may be added 247 graduates
from courses in medicine, dentistry,
pharmacy, law and theology from col-
ored professional schools; with 42
who received elther professional de-
grees or higher-academic degrees-from
northern universities. The, grand to-
tal is 570 names of the colleze and
professional graduates. “Omissions
will easily raise this to 650.”
The Crisis also tries to flud the
number of graduates from the high
i Schools of the colored colleges ani the
igh schools of the north, and finds
| 2pprosimately 1,800 from the South,
and estimates the total number for
the country at 3,000. An interesting
feature of tis number of the Crisis
is the eighty photosraphs of the col-
lege graduates, including apparently
about all of the graduates from the
northern< colleges “and the “honor”
students among the colored colleges of
the south, Among these ,eighty pic-
tures are several whose faces are fa-
millar in Atlanta. These are, J. W.
E. Bowen, Jr. A. Ms, Harvard, who
will continue historical studies at
Harvard for a doctorate of philosophy ;
I, T. Wright, M. D., Harvard, referred
to in a recent number of The Past;
L. C. Crogman, Temple University, den-
tistry; Harry Butler Peters, A. B.At-
lanta, “Highest Honor”; and among!
the honored students of high schools, '
the daughter of Professor and Mrs. W.,
B. Matthews, so well Known in this,
city, Perhaps Atlanta carries off the,
largest number among these photo-}
graphs of any city. .
The additions to the graduate fra-
ternity among colored people are the,
281 graduates who have received the’
degrees A. B. or B. S, “The higher’
and professional degrees have in the;
main heen earned by those already in |
this fraternit. This mumber (281)
is the largest number of graduates the|
colored people have ever had in any |
one year., The number, should be larg- |
er in ‘16. On an absolute basis the,
number is satisfactory. How does it,
look on a relative basis? If ten mil-
lion of our citizens graduate 281
Bachelors of Arts or Science, one hun-
dred million should ~ graduate 2810
Bachelors of Arts or of Scfence, ‘As|
n fact, one northern university gave
200 degrees at the June commence
ment. One college in Ohio gave 150 |.
degrees ‘to Bachelors and S9 hicher;
degrees, none of these professional.
These figures are not given to ats |
courage. S They should encourage. ;
Rut they do emphasize the fact that
“if the standards of a people are to|
be set by its educated class, then, not |
too many but too few colored students
are in colleze.
Of the 570 colored graduates SO re-
ceived the bachelor’s degree, or 2
higher degree or a professional degree
from some northern college or uni-
versity. .It is probable that the larg-
er part of these reside in the north. |
Atlanta, however, furnished’ three of
these and probably a fair fraction of
the entire number Js from*the south. |
I rejoice in the fact that—I will not |
say a picked few—but a fortunate few
are privileged to carry on their stua-|
ies In northern universities, There is
no southern university, in the moder |
meaning of the word, open to them.
And there is a nved that there shall |
he a small body of advanced students |
among the largér student body. Then ,
I welcome the comparison of the col-
ored mind with the white mind, It
is either.not so good as equal, or
iz hetter than that of theewhite sty-
dent, ‘and whichever way the fact
points, the fact will be -helpful. I
welcome the being In the freer at-
mosphere of the north, where, on a;
whole, 4 man iS a man. If the cat-|
ored students of a northern colleze
or university are not too chinnish ‘they ,
will find friendliness and social in-
course with the student body, if not,
CHRIST'S KINGDOM
By Cider J. W.‘Manns
There wilt. never be another world
empire until Christ comes and sets up
His eyerlasting and universal kipe-
dom? jfhe crash of all empires 1s
coming soon. In proof of this strous
ascertlon T ask you to turn with me
to the repens chapter of Daniel. Here
is portréyed the course of empires
from Babylon, down thrn the bkes,
closing with \the downfall of all na-
tions, and th@ setting of God’s world-
wide and etermil kingdom.
A magnificent image, of sizantic
form, is seen. This image’s head was
of fine gold, nis, breas and arms of
silver, his belly and his thizhs of brass,
his Jegs of iran, and his feet part of
fron and part of clay, Thou rawes'
till that a stone—smote the image up
on the feet that were of iron and clay
and break them in peaces—and th
stone that smote the image became ¢
great mountain and filled the whol
earth. Dan: 2, 31-35. .
1, The prophet Daniel interprets
thus, as he addressed the Babyloniat
monarch: “Thou art this head o!
gold; and after thee shall arise an
other kingdom of vas ea shall bea:
rule over all the earth, And the fourtl
kingdom shall be strong as iron. An¢
whereas thou sawest the feet and toe:
part of potter's clay, and part of iron
the kingdom shall be divided. They
“shall mingle themselves with the secc
ot men, but they shall not cleave one
to another eyen as iron is not mixed
with miry clay, And in the days ot
these kings shall the God of heaver
set up a kingdom which shall never be
destroyed”. Dan 2:37-44. -_
' I call you to witness the fulfillment
to the very letter. Beginning with
Babylon, four world-kingdoms arose
consecutively to rile the world, name-
ly: Babylon} Medo-Persia, Greece and
Rome. Babylon has gone, and all her
glory. Medo-Persia has leng since
passed away. Greece is almost for-
gotten. “Rome, once “proud mistress
‘of the world”, is utterly and forever
divided. Though strong as iron, Rome
has remained divided for fourteen
hundred years. These divisions are
now known as the modern nations of
Western Europe, the great nations of
to-day. In five short verses the living
God faretold what the human his.
torlan takes volumes to tell.
The word of God cannot be broken.
Tron and clay will not mix. Mighty
men have tried and planned and plot-
ted to unite the divided kingdom of
Europe Into one world-embrasing em-
pire. But earth’s mightiest armies,
headed by her greatest generals, were’
not sufficient to break the power of a
few simple words of serfpture. Na-
poleon attempted to accomplish what
God said could never be done, but his
dream of world-empire was shattered
at Waterloo. The seripture cannot be |
broken. |
No living man, and no nation, how- |
ever great, can create anozner world-.
wide kingdom. God said it could not
be done, and that settles ij. Sever
short words ‘spoken by the living God
will prove stronger than earth's great- |
est war Jords and.their hosts.
Force failed to unite the atstoea|
kingdoms, so men tried another
Scheme. .This, too, the prophet fore-
told: “they shall mingle themselves
with the seed of men, buf they shall
not cleave one to another, even as
iron is not. mixed with clay.”, Wit-
ness how the reignius houses of Eu-
rope have intermarried with the fond
hope of thus consolidating their power
in order to unite these divided king-
doms. The history of Europe is one
continuous testimony to the unerring
uccuracy of there words.
It is interesting to. note the blood
relationship of the rulers of Europe
engaged in the present war. King
George and Kaiser William are first
cousins. King George and Czar Ni-
cholas are first cousins by marriage.
The failure of these intermarriages to
preserve peace between the royal
houses is aptly expressed in the words
of the prophecy, “They shalt not
cleave together”. It is the reaponse of
history to the voice of prophecy.
And now the Jast act in God’s drama
of the ages is coming, and coming
soon, “In the days of these kings
shall the God of ‘heaven set up a
kingdom which shall never be destroy-
ed”. The great stone is to smite the
modern nations and “break them in
peaces and consume all these kins:
doms.” Read Dan 2:32, 35, 44, 46.
For over fourteen centuries we have
been ving in the days of these king-
doms; and the coming of Christ in per-
son to overthrow all, and establish
His everlasting kingdom, is the climax
of this stupendous prophecy.
‘The time is almost here. It will
not come thru the gateway of politics.
The world will neyer be converted.
It will come by the utter destruction
of existing pation. Then will be the

AMONG THE MASONS
The following beautiful expressions
of our esteemed Past Grand Master,
Charles F. Buck, is making the rounds
of the Masonic Press:
The uewly raised Master Maxon
stands before us, the embodiment of
spiritual perfection, from which the
vices and superficialities of- common
life have been extracted and cleansed
away. He grasps the hand, not of a
man but of mankind—he becomes one
with and part of the suffering mass
ax the pledges of fellowship are un-
folded to him, and his footsteps, lis
prayers | and the symrpathics of his
heart are consecrated to the service
of his brother.
as a rule, the new Master Mason
Hrasps the vigor and beauty of this
cousumation. Ie realizey as he looks
hastily, perhaps vaguely, back over
the various journeys he has made from
his first surprise to the final climax,
that x new and broader view of his
own being has developed inte con-
scionsness. He is perhaps dazzled in
the in the revelation that has come
to him—in the beauties of the system
which contains hidden in its simple
and innocent formalities the whole
problem of Jife, aye and of death and
immortality ! .
He feels in a breath, his weakness
and his strength, his depeidence and
his sovereignty; his mortality and his
ivine hope. He bows in a sense of
hmuility before: the grandure of the
new light by which his spirit sees, and
dedicates himself in silent Svorship
to the realzition of its deep sugszes-
tlons, THe may truly wonder why,
with so much of goodness and beauty
in the human heart which Masonry
has Drought Lome to his soul—like
a new inspiration—the world should
not be better and happier than fe is.
He is suddenly impressed with the
sublime truth that the best part of
our lives fs that which we live for
and in others. 2
Masonry, successor of the mysteries,
still foltows the ancient manner of
teaching. Her ceremonies are like the
‘ancient mystic shows—not the reading
of am essay, but the opening of a prob-
lem. requiring research, and constitut-
ing philosophy, the — arch-exponder.
Tier symbols use the instructions she
xives. The lectures are endeavors, of-
ten partial anil one-sided, to interpret
these symbols. THe who would be-
come an accomplished Mason must not
be content merely to hear, or even to
nnderstand, the lectures: he must, aid-
vd by them, and they having, as it
were, marked out the way for him,
study. interpret, and develop these
symbols for himself.—Albert Pike.

The Knights of Pythias convention
which adjourried here last Thursday
night was indeed a credit to the ex-
cellent order which they represented,
and this city should feel itself highly
honored in having had such a large
and well behaved crowd of men here
as composed this convention. The ex-
cellent demeanor of the crowd of vis-
itors who came here with the con-
vention was indeed marked and the
men in the convention sessions and be-
fore the meeting place conducted them<
selves in a most, becoming manner.
Xn fact, there seemed to have - been
during the the days the convention was
in session a decrease even in ,the us-
ual amount of disorder which we are
accustomed to witness on our streets.
Perhaps the citizenry here in general
‘was on its good behaviour or perhaps
it absorbed some of the good habits
from the strangers. Be this as it may,
Jet it suffice to say that the Knights”
convention was indeed ;a credit to the
splendid order they represened-and: we
would that all such bodies would ‘con-
auet their conventions as orderly and
as respectfully. | The Negro citizens
in general feel highly elated over the
excellent meeting. and demonstration
which the Knights had. Their ses-
sion, to all outward appearances, was
conducted on a high basis, their fol-
lowers carried themselves $n the
Streets in a most commendable manner
and the result of their having met here
cannot but be beneficial to the Ne
groes of this city. .
Considerable uneasiness will no
‘doubt be caused by the passage yester-
day in the state senate of a bili which
prohibits white teachers from
teaching In colored schools. ‘The suc-
cessful jpassage of this bill in the
House and the touch of the govern-
or’s hand to the bill making it a law
in‘this state that white teachers shcuid
not teach in colored schools will cause
a situation which will “be very detrl-
mental to the education of the-Negro.
‘There are many secondary schools and
colleges among our people whose fac-
ulties are composed of both colored
and white teachers and in case this
bit of east legislation is carried thru
Successfully a condition in Negro ,ed-
ucation in the state will result which
will be very trying to deal with. In
some of our leading educational in-
situtions mixed faculties are found
“and it will be impossible to supply
Immediately the places made yacant
by the white teachers forced out by
this Dill, In many of these schools
these white teachers have been serving
for many years and their value to
-the educational development of the Ne-
gro is inestimable. Having studied our
conditions and toiled for years to rem-
edy them in the school room as best
they could, their services have been
an invaluable asset in Negro education.
To be bereft of their assistance at
this time would be a blow which can-
not be measured in a material way.
‘They have given to the Negro the best
guidance which they were capable of,
they have endeavored to teach him
that Kind. of useful education which
will make him a well rounded, well
balanced and valuable citizen and they
have" tried to instill into him those
principles which will bring out his
best qualities. Thus teaching the Ne
‘Broes, they have benefited the whole
south as well as the race by develop-
ing those qualities which make good
citizens. The Negro has now reached
that stage of development where he
most needs safe and sane guidance
along educational as well as moral
lines and to shut the door of
hope at this critical time in his
progress would be to undo the work
of the many years of sacrifice so as-
siduously put forth by the noble mis-
sionaries who are still working among
us. It is hoped that our represen-
tatives in the legislature will be
governed entirely by reason and not
by feeling in dealing with this im.
portant matter. _
|ANGus?s, (GA.) WEEBLY LETTER
The city is wellnigh depopulated
this wee, the Negro ‘portion of- It,
many having gone to Savannah to at-
tend the session of the grand lodge.
Vast Grand Chancellor Dr. G. N.
Stoney went down in the doctor's
touring car. Mr. Paul Davis and Bis
daughter, Miss Sadie B., and her
friend, Miss Helen Lee of Boston, al-
so made the trip by automobile. The
two companies of the Uniform Rank,
accompanied bys the K. of P. band,
the direct representative; past chan-
cellors, representatives of Courts of
ok. and many others’ left Mon-
day morning in special cars of the
Central of Georgia. It is safe to say
that no section of the state sent-down
a finer representation than did Au-
gusta, ~ ;
The plenic of the First Congregation-
al Sunday school at Riverside Park
last Wednesday was one of the most
enjoyable of the season. .
The Odd Fellows of this ‘city are
watching Philadelphia this week. The
S. C. of M.,, is in session there, and
it is thought there may be actions
taken on vital questions touching the
‘workings of the Order in Georgia. 1
Jearn that there {s presént quite a
delegation from Georgia, including
Messrs A, Graves aiid R. E. Pharrow
of Atlanta and Dr. B. W. S. Daniels
of Savannah, :
Fraternal Suits
There Lave been several sults filed
against several fraternal orders here
recently, all with an eye-single to de-
pleting thelr treasuries This ought
not to be so, but, I guess we must
have them as long as these fraternal
socleties can show a cash balance. It
is a great pity our people refuse to
settle their affairs without resorting
to the courts. In some cases open
violation of their fown Jaws which
these very people obligated themselves
to uphold and defend. Greater care
should be had~in admitting people to
membersrip ia} these fraternities,
Mr, Hacket, the traveling passenger
agent of the Central of Georgia Rail-
way here, is the most popular agent
that the company has ever had here.
He is at all times obliging in handl-
ing our people and takes care to see
that they are provided with every com-
fort while traveling on bis line. In
ease of special parties be is person-
ally in charge and takes care of every
detail. In consequence, whenever
there is a party leaving Augusta for
any point the Central reaches directly
or thru connections, Mr. Hacket gets
the business.
* * New Business’
I have been given a tip. It is that
Augusta is soon to have a small manu:
facturing enterprise to be owned and
controlled by Negroes and the Trib-
une hopes to see other such enterprises
inaugurated by our people.
The way to get the people's trade
and money, is to produce the article
that they need. Business knows no
color or race. ‘The white merchant
‘and manufacturer goes after the dol-
Jars of all the people without regard
to race or colér, and we must do like-
rwise. We must create demands and
then support them. Inventive genius,
too, Is at work among the Negroes here,
I Jearn, and soon The Tribune may be
able to announce progress along theis
Tine.
The KH. of P. Grand Lodze.
Information from Savannah Is to
the effect that Grand Chancellor Hut-
to and his entire official family were
reelected, and that the annual address
of the G. C. was one of the best ever
made to that body, the collections for
the past year exceeding by nearly ten
‘thousand dollars that of any previous
sear. "The actual balance being in the
neighborhood of $75,000.00 with every
‘death claim presented, pald. That 4s
a remarkable record, when you tale
into cosideration the fnancial panic
in which we are still enveloped.
The city is now surrounded by a
levee that cost several million dol.
lars, and we are now supposed to be
flood proof.

NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE WEEK
LY LETTER
- By J. C. Lindsay
A choice place always awaits the
faithful worker who works unselfish
ly for the benefit of the people In the
community in which he Mres. To
such a worker or workers, the people
look for guidance and help along
many lines. In veritication of this
fact, it will only be necessary to call
attention briefly td the words of com.
mendation and praise which have been
lavished so freely by our ’ visiting
friends, the Pythian brethren, for the
Fractal uplift work which is being dove
so systematically by the Negro Bust
ness League headed by A. B. Sing
field and the splendid work of better
housing conditions and better livin
conditions among Negroes in this com.
munity, which is being done by the
Urban League, headed by Editor Sol.
C. Johnson, of the Savannah Tribune.
Prof. John Hope, president of the great
Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga., wa!
Kind enough to say on last Monday
night in the presence of more than
fitteen hundred people, that. the Na.
tional Secretary, Eugene Kinekle Jones
had salé to him and to others that
the Savannah branch of the National
Urban League, under the management
of Sol. C. Johnson was in the best and
mdst prosperous condition of any in
the United States, out side of New
York. Savannahlans, as a whole, are
grateful indeed to Mr. E. K. Jones and
to Prof. Jno Hope for their kind words
of the meritorious work which is be
ing so unselfishly done by Editor Sol
€. Johnson, and those of his followers
who believe in the constructive leader-

of this city. The Negro business ele-
ment in this community has long since
come to the conclusion to pass up the

fraternal or otherwise, by putting his

~ Pulling -Tegether
Is only another word mécbing suc
cess, wilich the Negro Business Lea-
gue in this weekly letter has been
trying to stress with all the power at
its command for nearly two full years.
In its effort in this regard; the Negro
Business League, in its weelly letter,
has striven at all times, as much as
possible, t6 encourage optimism and
goud feelings which essentials the
American Negro-can ill afford to be
without, In the mean time, it has
doue what it could in the way of try-
ing to discouruge mud-throwiug, muck-
raking and slime-slinging among mem-
bers of the race, whether they be en-
gaged directly in business or not, as
we do not feel that such methods
adopted to bring recognition and no-
torlety, ure worth what it costs the
race to get them.
We are Proud of our Record
‘Why should we not be? Do we
hot jive in the fairest and best city in
Georgia? Here in this city, where
every man fs given an opportunity
to make for limself and family an
honest Hvying and serve his God under
his own vine and fig tree, unmolested
and unafraid. Here the Negro is
making progress, here he is learning
the lessons of co-operation, here he fy
learning to solve the intricate business
problems which comfront him from
time to time, here he is learning to
trust his own race, here he is learniig
to do business with his own peopié!
Then why should we not feel’ provit'
when we, as a business organization,
feel that we, in a limited sense, had
a little something to do with bring-
ing about these glorious results which
mean so much to our racial betterment,
as well as our business progress.
Principles like these are those for
which the Negro Business League
stands, which meets again at its head-
quarters, Wage Earners Bank building,
Alice aud West Broad streets, Friday
evening July 16th 1915. Come early

When shall I wakeand find me there?
My fresh shall slumber in the ground,
Till the last trumpet. joyful sound;
Then burst the chains with sweet ‘sur-
prise;
And in my Savior's image rise.
Angels get my palace ready for I'am
coming home...

NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE
A national-wide movement is under way to carry to Boston the largest assemblage of successful Negro business men and women ever brought together in this country to celebrate the Fifteenth Anniversary of the founding of the National Negro Business League. The meeting will be held in Convention Hall, Garrison and St. Botolph streets, Boston's newest and most commodious hall, erected especially for the accommodation of such organizations as the League is hard at work perfecting ar-Friday, August 18th, 19th and 20th, 1915.
The Boston Local Negro Business League is hard at work profecting arrangements for the reception and entertainment of the delegates who are planning to be present. Aside from the regular business sessions of the league, the social side of the convention will not be neglected. A guarantee fund has already been secured for the purpose of financing every feature of the reception and entertainment of the delegates.
Affiliated Organizations
The officers of the affiliated organizations of The National Negro Business League including the National Negr Press Association, The National Negro Bankers' Association, The National Negro Funeral Directors' Association, The National Negro Bar Association, The National Association of Negro Insurance Men and the National Negro Refail Merchants' Association are each individually planning their several programs so as to add interest to the coming meeting and to make them constructively worth while to their several individual members.
Arrangements have been made with the Southern Railway whereby a National Negro Business League Special train will leave Atlanta, Sunday night, August 15. between 11 and 12 o'clock, midnight.
The special summer tourist rate to Boston and the east which apply in connection with this meeting are much more favorable and satisfactory than any rates which may be secured at four (4) cents per mile for the round trip. Delegates and intending visitors are earnestly urged to get in touch at once with their railroad passenger agents who will acquaint them with the summer tourist rates from their respective places of residence.
The arrangement at present is that delegates living in the Southeastern territory shall assemble at Atlanta, Georgia, from which point the National Negro Business League Special train will start.
Delegates from Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina are especially urged to arrange to join this special train which will be provided with separate engine, baggage car, dining car and all Pullman cars.
Delegates living in Florida are especially urged to communicate at once with Mr. Charles H. Anderson, treasurer of the National Negro Business League, 132 Broad street, Jacksonville, Florida.
Alabama delegates are asked to communicate at once with Mr. E. T. Attwell, president of the Alabama State Negro Business League, Tuskegee, Institute, Alabama.
West Tennessee delegates with Mr. T. H. Hayes, member of the Executive Committee, 247 Poplar street Memphis, Tennessee.
East and Central Tennessee delegates with Hon. J. C. Napier, chairman of the Executive committee, Napier Court, Nashville, Tennessee.
Mississippi delegates with Mr. Chas. Banks, first vice-president of the National organization and president of the Mississippi State Negro Business League, Mound Bayou, Mississippi.
Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina delegates address Mr. J. C. Beam, assistant general passenger agent, Southern Railroad, Atlanta, Ga. Arkansas delegates with Honorable J. E. Bush, 2nd vice-president, National Negro Business League, Masoule temple building, Little Rock, Arkansas, Texas delegates with Mr. J. B. Bell member of the Executive Committee, 2121 German street, Houston Texas. Louisiana delegates with Dr. Robert E. Jones, member of the Executive Committee, 631 Baronne street, New Orleans, Louisiana. and Hon. Selpio A. Jones, member of the Executive Committee, 402 Markhoum street, Little Rock Ark.
Dr. George C. Hall, a member of the Executive Committee of the National organization, 3208 South Park avenue, Chicago. Illinois, and William D. Neighbors, a member of the national organization, 3241 Vernon avenue are formulating plans for a Negro Business League special train to start from Chicago for the convenience of the delegates living in the vicinity of St. Louis, Chicago and gill of the western territory, including points in Kentucky and Illinois. Arrangements will be made for delegates to stop off at Buffalo and Niagara Falls for a sight seeing tour. Delegates intending to be pres
ent from that section of the country are_requested to write Dr. Hall or Mr. Neighbors. It is especially desired that the delegates should notify the gentlemen in the states above named as early as possible as to their intentions so that reservations may be made for them in the Pullman cars which are being provided for the accommodation of the several state delegations.
The City of Inspiration
Every person should visit Boston at least in his life. It is the City of Inspiration. From within her gates have gone out, with the flow of the years, currents of thought that have vitally affected the life of the nation. There are yet standing some of the buildings like Faneuil Hall, Old South Meeting house, the old State House, King Chapel, Christ Church, etc., in which the sparks of national independence were fanned; and on her commons and streets are to be seen many memorials of those who labored that the colored people of America might be free. Not only this, but all around her, within almost a stone's throw, are numbers of other small cities which are rich with historical associations. The League delegates should not fail to visit these places nor overlook the many splendid business establishments of Boston, the Hub of New England and the great north. Business enterprises have been brought to a very high degree of efficiency in Boston, and delegates can learn much through the opportunities which will be offered them to visit some of the larger and more important business houses.
The colored citizens of Boston, always hospitable, are sparing no pains to make the coming and stay of the delegates a pleasant one. On Friday evening, August 20th, a banquet in honor of the delegates, their wives and families, etc., will be tendered by the officers and members of the Boston Negro Business League and by the citizens of Boston and vicinity. This banquet, as at present projected, will prove to be one of the most satisfactory affair ever given in honor of the National Negro Business League.
Delegates are requested to have their mall directed to the headquarters of the Boston Negro Business League, 121 Campbell street, Rosbury District, Boston, Mass.
Further information as to detailed plans for the coming meeting, etc. may be secured from

TO CHECK THE MIGRATION OF NEGROES TO CITIES
39 Cities Have More than 2,000 and 12 More Than 40,000.
Tuskegee, Ala., July 4.—The third week of the sixth annual session of the Tuskegee Institute summer school for colored teachers with an enrollment of 422 from fourteen states, ended with an address on "Methods to Check Migration of Negroes to Cities" by Prof. George Edmund Haynes of Nashville Prof Haynes declared among other things that the most vital problem that concerns the American Negro is fundamentally social and economic that the serious question is where the mass of Negroes of the South should live; that the migration of more than 27 per cent of the Negro population to the cities has resulted in a large and increasing urban population; that 33 cities had more than 2,000 Negroes each; that 12 cities had more than 20,000; that five of these were Northern cities and seven Southern; that in every city where the Negro population had reached a considerable proportion it is largely congested into congested district neighborhoods, thus making more acute the problems growing out of their change from rural to urban life, and that the efforts of his organization are directed to help in counteracting this migration to cities and seek to improve the serious social conditions growing up among Negroes in the cities and the rural districts.
The two fundamental principles that animate the National League on Urban Conditions, the speaker declared, are to seek the co-operation of Negroes and white friends and the co-ordination of existing agencies and organizations to check the great migration to cities, and to help those who migrate to town to learn how to live and survive there and become like other citizens.
The National League seeks to check this flow of the Negro population to the cities and towns by pointing out to them the sharp competition between skilled and unskilled labor, by showing the alarming death rate among Negroes living in congested districts, by calling attention to the bad housing and foul sanitary conditions of the masses of Negroes in the cities and by showing them the advantages of owning homes in the country and of living on the soil. In carrying out this program of so-
clal service, several social workers are being trained for the special work in Negro colleges and universities and much good has been accomplished in Savannah, Atlanta, St. Louis, Richmond, Vn. Philadelphia and New York.
The Biggest Cracker.
The "kasabi" torta (we get our word "tart" from torta) of Hispanic-America is the biggest regularly made cracker on earth. It is made from the kasabi root and lightly fired in cakes about the size of a small parasol. A cracker for a hat—such indeed is sometimes the use made by the Latin peons of the kasabi torta when needing a temporary sunshade (sombrero). The torta is always made bowl shaped so it can be balanced on the head without any particular effort—and provided no wind interferes. Rain, however, quickly soaks and collapses this remarkable and useful edible headgear—London Express.
Getting Rough With Juanita.
Small Mary, who had been taught to read by the modern "sounding out" system, was amusing herself by singing the school songster from cover to cover. Prescally, as she reached "Juanita," one heard coming in her birdlike little voice from the depths of the big armchair:
"In the dark, I slammed her."
A startled parent found that the line really read:
"In 'thy dark eyes' splendor."—New York Post.
"I understand that she does a good deal of vocal work." "Yes. Her singing is labored."—Judge.
Turning Lead Into Gold.
Professor F. Soddy, F. R. S., declares that it is only a question of application to change lead into gold. He says that while now we can only work with electricity at 100,000 volts, it is only a matter of perfecting the method to be able to work at ten times that voltage, when the baser metals can be changed into the more precious. In other words, electricity, when brought to its highest efficiency and application, is the real philosopher's stone for which the alchemists of the middle ages searched so long. -London Spectator:
Early Football Players
Football was for many years the national game of Florence. The season was from January to March, and the ladies and gentlemen of Florence and the populace as well were wont to assemble on the Plazza Santa Gloce to witness the game, which was called "calcio," from the word meaning "to kick." The last game was played in 1739.
More Push: Less Push.
The primal cause of America breakdown has been attributed by a famous physician to those absurd feelings of hurry and care, to that breathlessness and tension, that anxiety of feature and solicitude of results, revealing the lack of inner harmony and ease, without which good work cannot be accomplished. The man who gives us the impression of the old Scriptural motto, "In quietness and confidence shall be your strength," is none too common in these days.—Christian Harald.
Progress.
"My wife knew nothing of house keeping to begin with, but she's learning fast."
"That's encouraging."
"Oh, she's a bright little woman, if I do say it! It has taken only two cooks to teach her to keep away from the kitchen, and I suppose that's at least half the battle." - Puck
Compulsory Change of Nama.
A notable instance of compulsory change of name occurred in Scotland in the seventeenth century, when the clan Macgregor was ordered to abandon and forget its ancient patronymic. The English government thought by this means to stamp out the spirit of Rob Roy's redoubtable kinsmen, and so sternly was the decree enforced that the use of the old name was treated as a capital offense. For the time the clansmen submitted and took other names; but so far from forgetting the old designation, later generations proudly reverted to it, and today there are more Macgregors in the world—to the world's gain—than ever before—London Standard.
As It Looked to Him.
"Who is that remarkable looking man?"
"Himmel! That's the magician who yesterday turned beer into water. And they let a man like that go around loose!"—Meggendorfer Blaetter.
Logical Result.
"She has such a dogged expression"
"No wonder, with that pug nose."—Baltimore American.
Caught Both Way.
"I saw Tommy stealing the jam."
"And I saw him jamming the steal."

The strength of affection is a proof, not of the worthiness of the object, but of the largeness of the soul that loves. Love descends, not ascends. The might of a river depends not on the quality of the soil through which it passes, but on the inexhaustibleness and depth of the spring from which it proceeds.—F. W. Robertson.
Well Acquainted.
Maurice and Mildred were visiting their grandmother when they became so mischievous that she made the old time threat, "If you don't behave the bad man will get you." The children had never heard the threat before and did not understand the "bad man" part of it. The following conversation between them was overheard some time later:
"Mildred, who is the bad man?"
"I don't know. You will have to ask grandma. She is well acquainted with him."-Indianapolis News.

seeing a door, he opened it and stepped
inside, No one was there. Then the
door closed, and he found himself in a
padded cell Presently some visitors
entered and peered pityingly through
an aperture in the door. “Plense open
the door,” he pleaded. “I've brought a
load of coal.” “Ah,” said one of the
party, “that’s his delusion. Some think
they are the king or the mikado or Na-
poteon Bonaparte. This poor fellow
thinks he’s n coal porter. Come along.”

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Memory Verses, 23, 24—Golden Text,
lea. ivi, 7—Commentary Prepared by
Rev. D. M. Stearns.
In some respects the ark of Noah
the tabernacle of Moses and the tem-
ple of Solomon were the three most re
markable buildings in the history of
the world, for God Himself was the
sole designer of each, and each was in-
tensely typical of things to come con-
cerning the Saviour, salvation and the
Kingdom. The great truths of our re-
Gemption ,have been made more plain
to me by tabernacle studies than in
any other way, and I miost earnestly
commend to all readers a little book,
costing only 25 cents, entitled “The
Tabernacle” or “The Gospel According
to Moses,” by George Rodgers. (Am.
8. S. Union, 1816 Chestnut, Philadel-
phia.) The spiritual lessons from the
temple are very similar, but with more
of the kingdom outlook,
Solomon began to build the temple
480 years after the Exodus (1 Kings
vi, lb. If you add up the figures in
Acts xill, covering this period, you will
make it 573. but if you subtract the 93
years of the oppressions of all Israel
in the days of the Judges, the accounts
will agree perfectly. Out of fellowship.
with God means lost time, whether
with a nation or an individual (Nom.
vi, 12; Job xxxiv, 29). Solomon's tem-
ple was finished in the eleventh year
of his reign. and it was plundered just
thirty-four years after, in the fifth
year of Rehoboum (I Kings vi, 37, 39;
xiv, 25, 26). This was just the time
between the birth of the Messiah, the
true temple, and His death. Zerubba-
bel built the second temple after the
return from Babylon. At the time of
Christ’s ministry Herod had been re-
ballding that temple forty-six years
(Jon {, 20). The last eight chapters
of Ezeklel tell of a temple yet to be
builded when Israel shall be restored.
Both tabernacle and temple were dwell-
ing places for God in the midst of Is-
rael. God was in Christ. Every true
belfever is naw His temple (I Cor. vi,
19, 20). The church, His body, now be-
ing builded, 18 the temple in which we
are for the present most interested
(Eph. if, 19-22). All the materials for
tabernacle and temple were willing of-
ferings (Ex. xxv, 2; xxxv. 20; I Chron.
xxix, 3,9, 17. Christ gave Himself
willingly for us (Heb. x, 5-9; John-vi,
38). We must be willing offerings,
keeping nothing back, . :
Remember the only foundation aI
Chron. Mi, 1) spoken of fn a previoug
lesson, the great atonement suggested
by Moriah and Ornan’s threshing floor
/and the silver sockets of the tabernacle
boards and seé’I Cor. ill, 11. If we
are truly, in Christ we are living stones
In the temple now being builded (I Pet.
H, 5), but as in the temple of our les-
son every stone was made ready in
the quarry or somewhere for its partic
ular place in the building (1 Kings vi
7, 80, while the belfever 1s 2 stone by
the precious blood of Christ, we are be-
ing made fit for our places in the build-
ing by the daily training here. When
the temple was finisbed and the ark set
in its place in the holy of holies the
glory of the Lord filled the house, s0
that the priests could not stand to min-
ister (I Kings vill, 4-11). It is our priv-
Hlege thus to be Spirit filled, so that
self may find no place. Our special
lesson verses are a little part of Solo-
mon’s great prayer at the dedication
of the temple, in which he glorified
God, saying. “Lord God of Israel, there
is ho God like Thee, * * * who keep-
est covenant and mercy with Thy serv-
ants thut walk before Thee with all
their heart” (xxii, He also praised
God for fulfilling His word to David
and asked Him to continue to do so
(verses 2t, 26. ‘Then he asked the
Lord that His eyes might be open night
and day towurd the house he had build-
@d for His name (verses 27-30).
He presented seven separate petitions
concerning different matters, saying
each time “Lear Thou in Heaven" or
“Hear Thou in Heaven Thy dwelling
Dlace” (verses 30, 32, 34, 56. 39, 43, 45,
49). He pleaded that He would do this
for Israel, as His inheritance, whom
He had separated |from among°all the
people of the earth, and that He would
maintain thelr cause at all times, as
the matter might require, or, as in the
marxin, the thing of a day in his day
(verses 51, 53.59). This expression ts
found also In the story of the manna
(Cs, xvi, 4, margin) and elsewhere,
reminding us that His care is sure day
by day as Te bas taught us to pray.
His desire was “that all the people
of the earth may know that the Lord ts
God and that there is none else” (verse
60). So it was also wiih Joshua and

The Music
The local K of P. Band, the three other bands and the drum corps kept things unusually lively from early Monday morning until Friday morning when the last of the visiting companies got out of town. At the camp and on the streets martial airs could be heard at almost all hours of the night and until the wee hours of the morning, the principal offenders being the band from Augusta. Dressed in summer uniform on the parade and at the park and twenty men strong, this aggregation was easily the "class" among the bands and wherever they appeared they received a big hand from the spectators. Several concerts were given by them, Patt's Place, West Broad and Gaston, and the Wage Earners bank being among the business places they complimented. At the latter place their rendition of the "Memphis Blues" "Tipperary" and the "Down Home Rag" and the overture "Elves" attracted wide attention.
Both the lodges and the courts held interesting sessions, the former being attended by 325 representatives and the latter by 350. Since last June there have been added 16 lodges and 23 courts, the lodges receiving an increased of 1,000 members and the courts 1,305. The reports of the secretaries showed the number of lodges to be 460 with an approximate membership of 16,000 and the number of courts 350 with about 12,000 members. The treasurer's report of the lodges shows a balance on hand of $40,529.84 while the courts now have on hand a balance of $33,022.99. The sessions of the lodges were presided over by Grand Chancellor Hutto of Bainbridge and Mrs. R. L. Barnes was the presiding officer at the meeting of the courts. Among the important measures passed by the lodge was the abolition of the Pythian Temple commission, that to consolidate the offices of the grand keeper of records and seal and the secretary-treasurer of the endowment bureau was lost.
There were no changes in the official roster of officers of the lodge and but few among the grand court officers. Both the old presiding officers were re-elected without opposition, as was true of several of the other officers. The only fight for officers was for the position of grand vice chancellor and grand attorney. Col. A. B. Singfield of this city made a bid for, the former position and lost to the encumebent by a vote of 73 against 185. F. B. Pettle sought the grand attorneyship losing out to P. A. Allen by a vote of 60 to 152. Dr. Stevens of Darien who was a candidate for grand medical register withdrew from the race. Mrs. Barnes received much praise from the members of the courts and the manner in which she is idolized by them in general showed with what love and respect they regard her.
Two cities made a bid for the next convention, Albany and Atlanta, the former being elected by a large majority.

A Word For the Tightwad
In France they have an expensive phrase—"liquid money." It means that part of the family income which is used for the necessities and luxuries of life. It is quite apart from and apart from the more serious, substantial part of the income, which is the saved part. In America, the entire income is "liquid," and the man who attempts to make part of it solid is called a "tightwad." A "tightwad" is really a man who creates a principal—a capital, in other words—and he is the living example of what every private business must be and of how the country's resources should be handled. Argonaut.
Poetry and Patriotism
Zakris Topellus, "the most popular poet Finland has ever known," was a lover of his native land above all else. Once, says Paul Wainman in "A-Summer Tour In Finland," he wrote as follows to a little Finnish boy who was at the time residing in England for his schooling:
"You are in a great and rich country, but never forget that you are only an exile. If Queen Victoria herself should write and offer you a post in her kingdom remember that you must answer: I cannot, because I have a cottage waiting for me when I am grown up. It has a roof higher than the loftiest hall in Windsor castle. That roof is the blue sky of my own land."
Falmouth.
Falmouth is probably the oldest port in England. It was used by the Phoenicians at least 2,500 years ago.
Dr. Johnson's Resolutions.
Dr. Johnson compiled this list of good resolutions on his fifty-first birthday in 1760: "Resolved, Deo juvente, to combat notions of obligations; to apply to study; to reclaim imaginations; to consult the resolves on Tetty's coffin; to rise early; to study religion; to go to church; to drink less strong liquors; to keep a journal; to oppose laziness by doing what is to be done tomorrow; rise as early as I can; send for books of history of war; put books in order; scheme of life."
A Polished Villain
"He is very popular with his wife of late."
"And him such a flirt. How does he do it?"
"She called him up the other day and said, 'Hello, darling,' and he recognized her voice and replied: 'You have evidently made a mistake. I am not your darling. I have the dearest, sweetest, most beautiful wife in the world, and she is the only woman I permit to call me darling.'"—Houston Post.
Matching the Furniture.
The head stenographer was a blond again.
"She had to do it," explained the office boy. "Dark hair looks flat against this new mahogany office furniture."—Philadelphia Ledger.
>21 Circumstantial Evidence.
>What makes you think his wife is not a good cook?
>Well, instead of carrying a lunch when he goes to work he visits a restaurant and carries a lunch when he goes home." -Houston Post.
Not Garrulous.
Client—What! You expect me to pay you 253 francs for tiking possession of such a small inheritance! You should have warned me it would cost so much. Lawyer—My motto, sir, is "Deeds, not words."—Paris Pelo Mele.
Penitenca.
"I suppose you're sorry now?" asked the prison visitor, according to the Philadelphia Ledger. The young man who had stolen $17,000 and spent it in sixteen weeks sighed through the bars. "Oh, yes!" he answered. "I tried to cut too much of a splurge. The money ought to have lasted me a week longer."
Dishes of Tea.
The Tavistock, the bachelors' hotel in Covent Garden, is probably the only place in London where a man must drink his "dish" of tea after the fashion of a century and more ago. These dishes are cups without handles. They are larger than those used by our great-great-grandmothers, which would hardly suit the modern masculine demand. The Tavistock dishes are of uniform pattern—white china with a broad blue band—Pall Mall Gazette.
Qualities of Courage
"There are different kinds of courage."
"I know that is a theory. But is it true?"
"Undoubtedly. A girl, for instance, will have the courage to wear an outlandish bathing suit and yet not have the courage to go into the water!"—Seattle Post-Intelligencer;
Lincoln's Companion
When Abraham Lincoln in 1808 sought solitude that he might write his inaugural address, he asked his friend Herndon for a copy of the constitution, for Webster's reply to Hayne, for Jackson's proclamation against nullification and for Henry Gay's speech on the compromise in 1850.
Just a Man.
"Are you afraid of burglars?"
"I used to be, but I got a look at one not long ago, and I'm not afraid any more. I found out that he was only a man, just like my husband."—Exchange
After the Movies
"Whit's wrang noo? Did ye no' like
The Battle o' Waterloo?"
"Waterloo! Dye no' ken my grand
father fought in the battle, and I
never seen him in a' the picture!"
-Glasgow News.
Badly Named.
There is a man in a midland town whose name is Barst. It is a misfortune that would not have attracted much attention if he had not called his two children Anna May and Ernest Will—London Mall.
Her Housekeeping.
Growells—Smith's wife must be poor housekeeper. Mrs. Growells—Why do you think so? Growells—He declares he's perfectly comfortable at home every day in the year.—Chicago News.
RELIABILITY.
Try to be reliable. Reliability is far more important than genius, so far as the comfort of the people with whom you live is concerned.
