VOLUME XXX NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE MORE RESPECT FROM BETTER UNDERSTANDING Over 700 Present Negroes Make Rare Commercial Progress During Fifty Years of Freedom—The Negro a Real Asset League Encourages Negoes To go In Business By William Anthony Aery. As a result of the sixteenth convention of the National Negro Business League, which recently held its three-day session in Boston, where in 1900 the League was started by Dr. Booker T. Washington and a few like-minded, far-sighted, colored men, the Northern Negro will better understand his Southern brother and the Southern Negro will appreciate, even more fully than he has done, how much the South offers him in the form of opportunity to do something worth while and to become somebody in the life of his community. A desirable transformation this will be! Out of this better understanding there must come to the race more respect for it-elf, a greater degree of confidence, a growing determination, especially on the part of young men and women, to begin at once, just where they are, to improve their economic condition by practising greater thrift, pushing out into new fields of business activity, and becoming more efficient in their everyday business operations. Some seven hundred delegates came together from thirty states, including the District of Columbia. Here were some of the most prosperous members of the Negro race. Yet yesterday, truth to, tell, many of them were not only poor in a worldly sense, but they were without any influence for progress in their home communities. Many of these same delegates were hopeless fifteen years ago, so far as thinking that they could succeed in business. The way to economic independence, however, was lightened for them by the National Negro Business League. As men without education and property, they exerted little constructive influence either on their black or white neighbors. To-day how different is all this! The heart-throbbing stories of uphill climb through long years of sacrifice, work, and faith, which were told with directness, simplicity and sincerity, under a fire of incisive questions from Dr. Washington and others, would make even the critical and hard-headed citizen marvel at the Segro's rare progress during the fifty years of his freedom and especially during the last ten or fifteen years, during which time the pace in business has quickened and competition has become keener. Surely a silent revolution has taken place among American Negroes. Some men in Congress, years ago, honestly supposed that Negroes would always have to be fed, clothed and sheltered. They were not able to look beyond the days of Reconstruction. To-day, however, exslaves and their children are, in many instances, powerful landlords, rich merchants, level-headed bankers, and important community builders. To-day the American Negro is a real asset. To-day the best white people of the South are thinking of the Negro as a man and are saying it out loud. They are thinking of him as distinctly a Southern man who is capable of becoming all that God intends he should become. They realize that education does help to improve the Negro. The National Negro Business League does not claim all the honor of bringing about the splendid transformation which means, for racial understanding and good-will, much more to the white citizens of the nation, than it does to the millions of colored people. The league has endeavored, however, to encourage Negroes to go into business, apply to their work the highest standards, and depend for patronage not on any color line appeal but solely on merit. The League, through its annual meetings, has been a rare inspirational force. It has discovered human beings and has opened the way for the young, the discouraged, or the inexperienced, to catch a vision of what real-success in business means and how SUPREME LODGE OFFICIALS CITED TO APPEAR Must Show Cause why They Should Not be Fined and Imprisoned. Washington, D. C., August 28—The Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, Mr. Justice Siddons presiding, upon motion of counsel for Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia, issued a rule against the Supreme Lodge officials, who were last week in session at Columbus, Ohio, requiring S. W. Green, Supreme Chancellor, of New Orleans, La., S. A. T. Watkins, Supreme Attorney of Chicago, Ill, and R. R. Jackson, Major General, Chicago, Ill., to appear before the Court, Friday, October 8, 1915, to show cause why they should not be fined and imprisoned by the Supreme Court. Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green and his associates refused to admit the Supreme representatives of the Grand Lodge at Columbhus, Ohio, and also declined to recognize them as members of the Order in any way although the order of the Supreme Court had been served upon them and printed copies had been distributed to members of the Supreme Lodge. The Virginia delegation remained in Columbus until Friday, evening August 21, after which time they left for home. They first notified the Supreme Lodge through counsel that they would take this course. Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr., and the Virginia representatives stopped here last Saturday. On Saturday, the Supreme Lodge voted against the revoke of the charter of Virginia after a stormy debate led by Supreme Representative William Harrison, of Oklahoma. The Grand Lodge of Virginia was not represented at the time and no notice had been given to its representatives as to when the case would be taken up. The specific part of the injunction which affects the contempt proceedings is as follows: "Adjudged, ordered and decreed that the defendant and each of them and their offices, agents and attorneys and all others on their behalf, be and they are hereby re-trained, during the pendency of this suit, or until the further order of the Court from declaring or treating the lodges subordinate to the plaintiff in the state of Virginia and the members attached to the same as are not entitled to the rights and privileges of members of the order of the defendant corporation." MARRIED Mr. R. J. Coleman, the well known cigar maker and Miss Olivia Jones of Augusta, Ga., were united in marriage Thursday night at 747 Bolton street, east. Rev. S. T. Redd officiated. that vision may be fully, if painfully, realized. The League's work, however is carried on silently and efficiently through its executive officers who help to organize local business leagues; keep alive the existing leagues, some six hundred in number; administer the necessary tonic for those leagues that seem ready to falt away; offer helpful suggestions to merchants for reaching available Negro customers and for securing better business methods; and keep, thru the press, the best interest of the Negro in business before the American public. To Emmett J. Scott of Tuskegee, who is the efficient correspondent secretary, Dr. Washington and other Negroes, who know most about the league's work and influence during fifteen years, pay their respectful thanks. Dr. Washington summed up the progress of Negro business and indicated that hundreds of thousands of opportunities in business await Negroes who are ready to grasp and capitalize them. That the Negro in business must pay the price of success. Dr. Washington frankly admits. That the South is clearly the field for the Negro to make his greatest gains is evident from the testimony of Negroes from North and South, as well as from such Southerners as Rev. Dr. John E. White of Atlanta, Ga., and Dr. James Hardy Dillard, of Charlotteville, Va., president of the Jeanes Fund and director of the Slater Fund. That Negroes in business, especially the women, are going ahead with a tremendous strides and are meeting with co-operation of the best white people everywhere, should prove encouraging even to those who are inclined to be pessimistic over the segregation legislation, the lynching, and "The Birth of a Nation," to which Bishop Thirkield referred to, recently as a "medium for creating race antagonism and division." SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 4TH, 1915 GUYLERS STREET MR.

GARNER PREACHES A MASTERLY SERMON Dr. Alexander C. Garner of Washington, D. C., preached one of the most masterly sermons at the Congregational Church ever heard here. A large crowd was out to hear him. He is one of the most polished and forceful speakers of the race and his sermon Sunday morning was a literary treat. At five o'clock in the afternoon he presented Congregationalism to members and friends of the Y. M. C. A. His discourse was truly a masterly one and was thoroughly enjoyed by the large crowd present. Dr. Garner left Sunday night for Alabama. MR. BOSWELL GOES TO MISSISSIPPI Mr. W. S.

Mr. Williams was a very affable Grand Jury Returns No Indictment UNABLE TO IDENTIFY ANYONE IN LYNCHING PARTY Cobb County Officials had no Previous Knowledge of the Crime. Marietta, Ga., Sept 2.—The Cobb county grand jury investigating the lynching of L. M. Frank near Marietta, reported late to-day that: "We have several clues but we have been unable to find anyone who could identify any party. We have done our best, under our oath, and we regret to state that we have been unable to find enough evidence to indict any one for this crime." After it is stated that the jury had the active co-operation of Gov. Nat E. Harris, the state attorney general, Solicitor Herbert Clay and other officials of Cobb county, the report says: "We have been unable to connect anybody with the perpetration of this offense, or to identify any one who was connected with it, although we have investigated the information furnished us by officials and other parties and have followed up letters, signed and unsigned, and to this end we have subpoenaed and examined many witnesses in an effort to disclose the perpetrators of this crime, but none of these witnesses could identify any of the parties. "We find, from investigation, that the officers of the law and the citizens of our town and county, knew nothing of this crime until they heard of the body being found near Frey's gin in this county. The city of Marietta and the county of Cobb were quiet, before this trouble, are quiet now, and all reports to the contrary are untrue." Many Witnesses Heard. Upward of thirty-fire witnesses were examined yesterday and to-day. They included the chief of police and other citizens of Atlanta and individuals of every walk of life in Marietta. Anonymous letters, referred to in the report, still are being received by officials of Cobb county and others, but the tendency now is to ignore them. "Marietta is not in a frenzied state of turmoil that has been pictured," said Sollicitor Clay to-day. TONEY-BLACKSHEAR NUPTALS Miss Margurite Toney and Mr. Edgar C. Blackshear were quietly married at St. Phillip A. M. E. Church, Charles and West Broad streets, Thursday evening at 8 o'clock. Few friends, together with relatives witnessed the wedding and Rev. R.

He was about seventeen years old and the son of Mrs. Maggie Williams of S29 Kline street. PEKIN PRESENTS NEW BILL NEXT WEEK Toliver and Chappell Again Prove the Star Performers. Some of the largest crowds in the history of the Pekin theatre have been in attendance at the shows this weeks. The bill both during the first and latter part of the week were good and the large attendance did not fall to show their appreciation of the various acts. The hit of the bill was, of course, Tolliver and Chappell and their high class, "big time" stunts went unusually well. This team is undoubtedly the classiest and most finished that has appeared here in some years and both Miss Chappell and Mr. Tolliver have won the highest praise of the many patrons of this popular play house. Their turns were all up-to-date, catchy and way above the average seen here. Bill Cross, the leading comedian, secured a big hand during the week and his popularity with the local theater goers was shown by the repeated applause he received. The other members on the bill were good and all received a big hand. Manager Stiles has booked for next week a number of good performers and the bill promises to be very entertaining. EUREKA'S FALL BEEORE ROOSTERS' AGGREGATION In a snappy game of baseball on last Monday afternoon at Athletic park the Eureka's team went down be fore the Roosters' fast aggregation. The score was 2 to 1. The game was one of the best played here by local teams in some time. The article of ball playing that was put up by both teams was well worth witnessing, it was exciting from start to finish and kept the small but enthusiastic crowd up in the air until the ending of the ninth inning. Not a runner was able to cross the home plate until the fifth inning when the first man up for the Roosters got first, advanced to third on a throw from short to second to catch him, while Smith covering second for the Eurekas let it pass thru his mits, this placed a man on third and one on second and they both scored when a hot one was hit to third; the third sacker throwing wild to first to catch the runner. The Eurekas chance for scoring looked very bad and their rooters began to get uneasy for fear of a shut out. But in the eighth inning Howard, who was doing the twirling for the Roosters, gave the first man up his base on balls and he scored on a three bagger by Glinn. The game then went its limit without either side scoring again. The batterles were Howell and Johnson for the Roosters and Heyward and Glinn for the Eurekas. Howell gave up five hits and struck out nine; while Heyward gave up only three hits and struck out twelve. Three base hit, Glinn; two base hit, Smith and Grant. Errors: Roosters one, Eurekas six. ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Noble announce the engagement of their daughter, Henrietta Onella to Mr. John W. Roberts, Jr. Wedding announcement later.

M. E. Church, West Broad Street—A Most Entertaining Program to be Rendered—Some of City's Leading Singers to Appear The musical festival which is to be given Monday night at St. Philip A. M. E. Church, Charles and West Broad streets, is attracting considerable attention and a large crowd is expected to be in attendance upon this unusually high class entertainment. The musical is being given under the auspices of the Colored Young Men's Christian Association and will serve as fitting beginner of a series of musical and literary treats which this popular organization will give during the coming autumn and winter months. The organization will present on Monday night, a veritable array of the city's leading musical stars and the numbers which they will render will be of unusually high class. A chorus of about thirty voices has been in training for the event for some time and this feature of the program bids fair to eclipse anything of the kind undertaken here in recent years. The concert will begin at 8:30 o'clock and no one will be allowed to enter the church during any of the renditions. The price of admission will be twenty-five cents. The following is the program: Overture, Bohemian Girl, Acme Orchestra. Chorus, Benedictus.....Mallard's Vocal Solo, For All Eternity...Miss L. Lancaster. Vocal Duett, Home to Our Mountains Mrs. McDonald and Mr. Humbert Miss. McDonald and Mr. Humbert Instrumental Solo.....Miss Marshall Vocal Solo, My Rose.....Miss N. A.

Vocal Solo, Good-bye Little Girl good bye.....Mrs. Junius Grant bye.....Mrs. Junius Grant Instrumental Duett, Dance of Demons.....Mrs. Lewls and Mrs. Horne Vocal Solo. Since you went away..Mr. Humbert. Selection.....Y. M. C. A. Quartete Solo, In Loves Garden, Just You and Me.....Miss Amanda Jones Chorus, Unfold y Portals, Mullard's NEW INSTITUTION As will be noted by the columns of The Tribune, the Savannah Savings and Real Estate Corporation has applied for incorporation. This will give us five institutes of the kind in the city. The city is large enough for all of these institutions, especially if our people will give them all unstinted patronage. As a booster of every Negro enterprise The Tribune welcomes the advent of this company and expresses for it much success. It is now hoped that some of our men of means will turn their attention to some of the underdeveloped fields, and give us a well stocked furniture store, gent's furnishing store, etc. GRANT—IBWIN NUPTIAL The marriage of Mrs. Annie Grant to Mr. Wm. Irwin took place Wednesday August 25th, at 011 Jefferson street at 8:30 o'clock p. m. The wedding was a very beautiful one and the house decorations, consisting of roses, ferns and bamboos, were very tasty arranged. The bride wore a white silk costume with a crown of orange blossoms. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Whitmire, afterwhich a delightful line of refreshments was served. The bride and groom will be at their home after a short while at 1512 Reynolds street, where friends will be welcomed. CARD OF THANKS Mrs. Pinkey Floyd wish to extend thanks to her many friends for attending the funeral of her daughter, Marla Hedleston and also for the beautiful floral offerings. --- THE VACATIONIST RETURNS In Trim Tailored Suit or Princess Frock She Livens Fifth Avenue Once More HIGH COLLAR BIDS FOR FAVOR New York September 1—The first crisp days of September find our avenue taking a new splightiness, not that it is ever particularly dull or deserted, but there is a different spirit. Summer visitors have gone their various ways, and New Yorkers have returned, ready to take up city life again with its endless activities. The shops are showing the fall and winter fashions; the dress-making establishments have lost their lazy calm, and delivery wagons are loading up and starting off on trips from shop to home with creations of furrier, tailor, modiste and shoemaker. The Dignity of Tailored Garments Soft, stuffy things do very well for warm days; one relaxes and is cool, happy and delightfully feminine. But with the first days of fall, the tailored dress or suit is donned with a feeling that is almost akin to relief: American M.CALL Smart Suit Lines women, especially, find the tailored suit or dress becoming or satisfying. There is a trimness of the line and a feeling of being well dressed that lend her added dignity. Princess Frock High in Favor Strong rivals to the coat and skirt are the princess frocks of serge, gabardine or whipcord; serge leads. While trim and straight, these do not follow exactly the lines of the Princess of some seasons back; they are usually belted, sometimes panelled and yoked. Belts play an important part this season. Few customers but show them; on the Princess they are often merely half belts, that is, they extend from side front to side back, separated by a panel at front and back. This flat, smooth appearance in front and back is one of the new notions this season; all pleats and gathers are confined over the hips. Many of the tailored coat suits have belts of patent or shiny motor leather. These are often ornamented harmoniously with applique designs of colored suede; the soft, dull harmony of the suede makes effective contrast and lends a distinctive touch to the suit. One sees, also, belts of the same material as suit or dress, piped sometimes with suede, patent leather or a vivid color; the effect is smart and attractive. Buttons, too, lend their aid in bringing in the bright touch of contrast that is required this season in our smart dark costumes: There are some wonderfully attractive buttons of galalith, mother of pearl pinned with color, bright green, blue or rose, and numberless other noyelties in form and coloring. On an imported suit of tweed displayed recently in one of our smart shops. I noticed some extremely smart buttons of woven leather, with loops of leather for the shanks; they blend beautifully with the dark brown mixture of the tweed and were really the chief attraction of the suit. These, however, are decided novelties and probably cannot be purchased separately as yet. Colored buttons are used sparingly; one or two at the closing of the coat or blouse, or one or two on the girdle are sufficient. 1 Word or Two on Collars The open throat for general wear is still a favorite and will probably hold its own until well into the winter. High collars, however, are being advocated by many of the leading dressmakers; not the perfectly straight choker or stock of a few years back, necessarily, although these are smart and becoming to many, but a collar closed at the top and opened to below the curve of the throat. These are the "A" collars and are far more youthful and becoming to most than the old time high collar. Many women prefer the high collar collar for street wear, with tailored suit and hat, and even if it does not become universal, it will share favor with the low, open collar during the winter season. The New Colored Blouse. One of the innovations of the season is the colored blouse or separate waist with the tailored suit. This fad is probably the outcome of the little chemisettes of pink and blue that we have been wearing with taffeta frocks and serge dress. I saw a particularly TRAINS © MCCALL Apanuel Princess attractive combination at one of the tea rooms the other afternoon; it was a blouge of pale rose colored crepe de chine, a shade between coral and old rose, and was worn with a dark blue serge suit. This blouge was made with tucks at the shoulders to give fullness over the bust and was trimmed down in front with a graduated frill of crepe; the blouge closed with round nickel bottoms. Around the high choker collar was twisted a piece o black satin ribbon, above which, reaching almost to the chin, showed the points of a stiff white under collar. Another suit of beige colored serge had a blouse of creamy yellow crepe embroidered with old rose silk. This fad of the contrasting blouse is practical and becoming and should appeal to many. JUBILEE CONVOCATION JUBILEE CONVOCATION IS A GREAT SUCCESS Celebrating 50th Anniversary by A. M. E. Church, at Macon, Great Addresses and $10,000 Raised. The 50th anniversary, as celebrated in Macon last week by the C. M. E. of Georgia, led by Bishop R. S. Williams, D., D., Augusta, was a great success. Bishop Williams is due great praise for the planning of such meeting. His leadership among men was never more befittingly shown than in the planning of this meeting, both as to the subjects for discussion, their arrangement and also the masterly way in which he inspired his presiding elders and pastors to raise $10,000 despite the "hard times". The convocation began on Wednesday and continued through Sunday night the 29th. Each subject urged systematic endeavors for soul saving and the raising of means for the church All Macon seemed to have been impressed. The church. Hosely Temple, was packed day and night to hear the wholsome and inspiring addresses of the leading men of the meeting. Among those who took prominent parts were Bishop R. A. Carter, Tex.; Revs. C. L. Bonner, Augusta; Rev. J A Bray, Birmingham; G. W. F. Phillips, Amercus; Prof. W. A. Dell, Paine College, Augusta; A. F. Bailey, Hartwell; Mrs. Helen B. Colb, Barnesville; J. A. Martin, Savannah and Dr. W. H. Nelson, Atlanta. The Jubilee Concert and the sermon of Bishop R. A. Carter marked the great meeting with much distinction both because of the merit of the great sermon and the well arranged and carried out concert by Mrs. H. R. Cobb, Prof. Phillips and Dr. S. X. Floyd, who charmed the great audience on Friday night of the concert. The concert showed the development of young men and women as being carried on at Palme College. Holsey Academy and Helena R. Cobb Institute. Both the sermon and concert were at the Macon auditorium. The house had fully 1,500 at the sermon and about 800 at the concert This money goes to help the needy churches and schools of the State of Georgia. The ministers left Macon determined to even do better another year practical addresses and raising funds. AT ALL GOOD DEALERS IF 50¢ UP The Secret of a Good Figure often lies in the brassiere.

"The greatest tribute I ever saw paid to the stars and stripes," says Colonel Payson Bradley, past commander of the Massachusetts Grand Army, "was not on American soil. When the Ancient and Honorable Artillery landed at Liverpool on its visit to England in 1896 the line of march was crowded with over 100,000 persons. When we unfolded Old Glory we were struck with surprise at the cheers which went up from those English people. 'As we marched along every man, from the Prince of Wales to the lowest bootblack, took off his hat while the stars and stripes passed. I would like to see that happen once in Boston or New York before I die."—Boston Record. The Inquisitive Antelope. An antelope is as curious as a woman. If the hunter will lie down in the grass and wave a red handkerchief a band of antelopes will keep circling around until within reasonable distance for a safe shot. After completing a circle the antelopes halt suddenly and bring down one fore foot with a vigorous stamp on the ground, and at the same instant they make a sort of snort that sounds like a half whistle. That is the propitious moment for peppering them with ripe balls.—Exchange. Henty's Young Critic G. A. Henty, the writer for youth, frequently got letters from admirers all over the world asking for his autograph and offering criticisms of his books. In a story of the peninsular war he made two boys disguise themselves by staining their faces with iodine. Shortly after the book was published he received a letter from a boy, who said he was a chemist's assistant, stating that while that special incident was represented as taking place in 1808 iodine was not discovered until 1811, three years later.

Forfeited Citizenship The law upon the subject of forfeited citizenship reads as follows: "When any naturalized citizen shall have resided two years in the foreign state from which he came or five years in any other foreign state It shall be presumed that he has ceased to be an American citizen, and his place of abode shall be deemed his place of residence." The Hat. The modern hat can be traced back to the petasurs worn by the ancient Romans when on a journey, and hats with brims were also used by the earlier Greeks. It was not until after the Roman conquest that the use of hats began in England. A "hatte of blever," about the middle of the twelfth century, was worn by one of the nobles of the land. Froissart describes hats and plumes which were worn at Edward's court in 1340, when the Garter order was instituted. The merchant in Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" had on his head a Flanderish beaver hat, and from that period onward there is frequent mention of "felt hattes." On Guard.

The time of com- ing tegether and working for the com- mon guod of the whole race is at hand, We need to lay aside our petty differ- ences in matters which concern the welfare of our people, and every man shonld put his shoulders to the wheel. Until we Jearn this Jesson of unity, we shall never he able to secure those tights and privilezes which we, in common with other people, should en- joy. The time is now at hand when we must work together, think together, and pull together. We sre wasting pree- ious moments fighting one another. ‘We must be willing to put self in sub- Jection and work unitedly for the pro- gress of the rate and not for its down- ‘fall, ae aid Reports coming from the Nationa Negro Business League convention which was held in Boston, Mass. week hefore last, show it to be the best anc most profitable session of that body since its organization there fifteen years age. Every Nexro business mar in the country,‘ who shas kept apace with the wide publicity given Negro business affairs by the league, will be Pleased to note during the year the many helpful influences which will be forthcoming from this meeting and_will, no doubt, profit hy the encouraging re- ports of the Negro’s progress along commercial lines. There is scarcely a Negro in business who has not, at some time, heen helped by the information sent out by the league through its notes on racial progress as published in the various Negro papers or who has not been inspired to make his husi- ness more etticient and larger. Jun- dreds, probably, have heen those who have been induced to embark on a commercial career by the publications of the Jeague and have never ‘hail rea- son to regret the step they took in this direction. Truly, the National Nezro Tiusiness ‘League ix serving a most worthy cause. Its influence is felt in every city, town and hamlet. In Sa- vyannah, we have but to look at our many Negro business enterprises which have been established in_ recent years to see just how far reaching the in- fluence of Mr. Washington and his éo- workers in the National Business League has heen felt here, and this is nt 2 slight indication of the result of this wholesome influence which will blossom out more fully wheu the work of the National Negro Business Lea- sue is more generally understood. What is true in this city is likewice .true of the influence of the league in other places. Verily, the work ‘of the National Nezro Business League has heen a boon to Negro enterprises and the race is deeply indebted to Mr. Washington and those associated with him for the progress alon; commercial lines which we made during the past fifteen years. ‘The local branch of this great body has accomplished much in the two years of its existence, but we veuture to say that the impetus which the Boston meetiug is going to exert on our branch will make our past endeayors-pale into insignificance when compared with what we shall ac- complish in the future.

This is to inform the lodges that the person's name is unknown to me, and is a fake and I would advise that the first time he appeared before any of the lodges under this or any other name that he be apprehended and turned over to the officers of the law. Our jurisdiction does not stand for any such characters; and the time of year is coming when the states will be infested with a large number of these persons, so take due and timely notice and so be governed. H. R. BUTLER, Grand Master Masonic Tie Friendship Not satisfied with natural barriers, men erected high walls of sect and cast, to exclude their fellows, and the men of one sect were sure that the men of other sects were wrong—and would be lost. Thus, when real mountains no longer estranged man from man, mountains were made out of molehills—Mountains of immemorial mis-understanding not yet moved into the sea. Barriers of race, of creed, of cast, of habit, of training and interest separate men today, as if some malign genius were bent on keeping man from his fellows, begetting suspicion, uncharitableness and hate. All through the ages men were unfriendly, and, therefore, unjust and cruel, largely because they were unacquainted. In the meantime—and, verily, it was a mean time—Maonry, the oldest and most widely spread order, was toiling in behalf of friendship uniting men upon the only basis upon which they can ever meet with dignity, each lodge an oasis of equality and good will in a desert of feud and strife. At its altar men meet as man to man, without vanity and without pretense, without fear and without reproach, held together by common vows to the right as toursits crossing the Alps tie themselves together, so that if one slip and fall all may hold him up. Its tie of friendship peculiar, particular and unique—was like those tiny fibers running through the glaciers, along which sunbeams journey, melting the frozen mess and sealing it to the valley below in rivulets or blessing. Other fibers were there, but none more far amusing, more more tender, more responsive to the light than the mystical tie of Masonic love—Selected. One of the officers of a lodge to whom special thanks are due, is the faithful chaplain who, week in and week out, unobtrusively but effectually performs the duties of his office, lifting his soul to God in petitions for blessings upon all the craft. There is no condemnation of crime in Masonry. One is first a citizen, then a Mason. Bad citizens make bad Masons. Good Masons are always good citizens. They recognize their duties to society as paramount, and are aware that the general welfare reaches them as well as others; that, as all is more than a part, their duties as good citizens to the common community are among their primary obligations; and that support to the laws and the punishment of law breaking are alike expected, irrespective of the professions of the offenders. It is time that less informed Masons and the non-Masonic community should be told that neither judge nor jury, as Masons, have a right to avert a merited punishment from a guilty Mason, or in any civil procedure to have their verdicts influenced in favor of a party because he is a Mason. This is not Masonry and if it were, then Masonry would be justly doomed.—Missouri Freemason. The most notable case in which son has succeeded father in high Masonic office is the Grand Masterhip of Ireland, which has been entrusted to successive dukes of Abercorn for many years. Lessons of the Lodge It seems to me that one of the greatest penalties of the city is solitude. Thousands and tens of thousands pass on the crowded streets but they are all strangers. Hearts may ache with sorrow or swell with joy or hope—but the crowd passed on. All the tragedy of the world may burden the soul, but the crowd knows it not or heeds it not—and goes on its way. The individual is a new Selkirk, alone in the midst of a vast sea of humanity. One comes to the Masonic Lodge and all is changed. The hurry and worry of life is eased. One finds his vision shifted from the grimness of the real to the contemplation of the ideal. Those who never lift up their eyes may never see the celestial city. Without ideals life becomes a phantasm of sordid money changers in the Temple, hollow-eyed hunted men troubling over the machines, rollers in the field with the curse of Adam, Julling their faces and shriveling their souls. "I am sorry that the story of the ages is the story of the exploitation of man by his brother man. If the teachings of Masonry could universally be applied this would not be so. I love the poetry of the Masonic rituals. I respect its antiquity and honor its sercets—but more than all thee things I find in Masonry the mighty appeal of universal brotherhood. It is often charged against Masonry as against other secret and fraternal orders that it does not represent the spirit of real democracy, that from its nature Masonry is exclusive and undemocratic. It may be said in reply that the most marked tendency of mankind is to associate in groups. This is true in school in college life and in business and social life. Obviously one may not become a citizen of the world in the sense that he is the institute of all men. Time is too fleeting and the task is too great. Hence it is natural that for his closer associates he chooses those whose ways of life and thoughts are most congenial to his own. It then becomes a matter of the attitude of the lodge or fraternity, or association toward the world. Does it teach exclusiveness and lack of sympathy with the world, are its doctrines for the benefit of its votaries alone, or does it teach the great university of life and the duty of all men toward each other? I do not believe that any man who has received the rights and benefits of Masonry will be in doubt as to the answer.—Masonic Trestle Board. Masonry has wrought wondrous work in this world of ours, and her work shall continue. Greater is the outlook for the future. It rests, however, upon the individual members. See to it. Brethren, that you bear this well in mind. Dare to live Masonry! Let her principles become a part of your everyday lives, a daily habit, a delight, an ever present inspiration, remembering that her teachings command that God is our Father, man is our Brother. She places a firm reliance on the firmness of the individual. A strong character is her main-stay. Strength of mind is good; strength of heart and soul is better; but best of all is character. Character is Masonry's best builder. Character is Masonry's defender—Selected. Gold In Ancient Rome. William Jacob in his "History of the Precious Metals" estimates from the accounts given by the Roman writers that in the reign of Augustus, the first of the emperors, when Rome was at the height of its power, the amount of gold in the Roman empire was nearly $2,000,000,000. This Vast treasure had been gathered chiefly by conquest from various nations of Europe. Asia and Africa. There had been extensive mines in Spain and in the Atlas mountains of north Africa, but their yield in the wealth of kings and of cities in Asia and Egypt had been despoiled and carried away to eprich the conquerors. A Story of Browning Browning himself couldn't always explain his meaning at first reading, Dr. Furnivalh, founder of the English Browning society, frequently consulted the poet us to the meaning of some passage in his works. "Bless me," Browning would say, "I really have forgotten what I did mean, and as I haven't got a copy of my works by me I really can't enlighten you. Just lend me the book, there's a good fellow. I'll look it over at my leisure and try to find out what was in my mind at the time." Grestings In China. The Chinese salutation when friends meet consists in clasping the left hand with the right and waving it up and down, at the same time bowing deeply, or, if unusual respect is wished to be evinced, the Chinaman bows as low as possible, swinging his clasped hands between his legs backward and forward.

Text of the Lesson, I Kings xviii, 30-39—Memory Verse, 36, 37—Golden Text, Prov. xv, 29—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Ellijah had been so safely hidden by the Lord during the three years that though Abah had searched for him everywhere, in all lands, he could not be found (verse 10). How safe are those whom the Lord hides, and all His redeemed are hid with Christ in God (Col, ill, 3; Ex. xxxill, 22; Isa. ll, 10; Zeph. ll, 3). As by the word of the Lord he was sent into hiding at Cherith and Sarepta, so by the same word he is now commanded to shew himself to Ahab (xyll, 2. 8; xyvll, 1). He was indeed a man of God, God's representative, acting only for God and in His name, and, as in the resurrection of the widow's son he foreshadowed Him who is the resurrection and the life, so the words "shew thyself" remind us of Him who after His resurrection from the dead "shewed Himself alive" again and again during the forty days (John xxi, 1. 4; Acts 1, 3). We are glad to meet Obadiah, whose name means 'servant of Jehovah,' and to see him saving the life of and caring for a hundred of the Lord's prophets (xvill, 4, 13). As we see him the governor of Abah's house we think of Joseph in Egypt overseer of Potphar's house (Gen. xxxix, 1-6). Good men are often in difficult places for the glory of God. As Obadiah and Abah went each his way to search for grass for the horses Ellijab met Obadiah' and told him to tell Abah that he was on hand (xvill, 8, 11, 14). Obadiah was at first afraid that Ellijah might again disappear, but on being assured that he would surely shew himself to Abah he went to meet Abah and told him, and Abah went to meet Ellijah (xvill, 15, 16). Fearlessly Ellijah accused Abah of forsaking the Lord and serving Baal and ordered him to gather all Israel and the prophets of Baal to Mount Carmel, and this Abah did, for the word of the Lord in the mouth of Ellijah was with power (xvill, 17-20). Elijah boldly demanded of the people to decide whether they would follow Jehovah or Baal and not continue baiting between two opinions. But the people were dumb. Then he said that, though he was but one against 450, he would suggest a test and that they should worship the God who answered by fire, and to this they agreed (21-24). He gave the prophets of Baal the first opportunity, and following his instructions, they prepared their sacrifice and cried unto their god from morning until noon. "O Baal, hear us!" But there was no answer. Elijah mocked them and urged them to cry louder, saying that he must be busy or on a journey or perhaps asleep. So they cried aloud, and leaped upon the altar, and cut themselves till the blood gushed out, and kept it up till the time of the evening sacrifice. But it was all in vain, for there was no answer of any kind, and no unseen power regarded their cries (25-20). We may wonder why the devil missed such an opportunity to honor his worshippers, for the time will come when he will send fire from heaven (Rev. xiii, 13), but he can do nought without permission from God, and he was surely restrained this time. Now consider Ellijah as he called the people to him, repaired the altar of the Lord and, taking twelve stones to represent the twelve tribes of Israel, built an altar in the name of the Lord, put the wood in order, prepared the sacrifice and drenched the whole with twelve barrels of water until the water ran about the altar and filled the trench (30-33). Listen now to Ellijah talking to his God, not crying aloud nor with frenzy or demonstration of any kind, but calmly, with quietness and confidence. "Lord God of Abraham, of Isaac and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at they word. Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that Thou art the Lord God and that Thou hast turned their heart back again." How the great multitude must have listened to this simple prayer and how intently they watched this lonely man of God! We, too, have been watching him and listening to him talking to his God, the God of Israel, the only living and true God, and now behold the answer. "Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burned sacrifice and the wood and the stones and the dust and licked up the water that was in the trench." How can we refrain from shouting "Jehovah. He is the God?" (Verses 36-20.) And we must add: "Who is like unto Thee. O Lord, among the gods? Who is like Thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?" (Ex. xv. 11.) Quickly were the prophets of Baal slain, and Ellijah sald to Ahab. "There is a sound of abundance of rain." Then Ellijah went to the top of Carmel to pray, and it was patient, earnest, persevering prayer, for the servant went seven times to look before he saw the indication of the coming storm in the form of a cloud like a man's hand, suggestive of Ellijah's hand taking hold of God (verses 40-46; Jas. v. 18). If our aim is simply to glorify God we may safely act upon Jer. xxxiii. 3. Consider David and Hezekiah in I Kings xvll. 45-47; II Kings xix. 10, and fear not to pray (Ps. clx. 21, 27). In systematic saving lies the secret of a successful housekeeper. Not stinting or denying, but practical, regular saving. Five or 10 cents put carefully away regularly soon means $3 or $4 with which to buy some housebold necessity, perhaps luxury, and money saved in this way is never missed. Money saving is a habit, once formed hard to break, and means comfort and contentment to the housekeeper who will acquire it.—San Francisco Chronicle.

BUTLER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Butler Presbyterian Church, corner East Broad and McDonough streets. Rev. S. T. Reid pastor. After returning from McRae, Ga., where he attended a very successful meeting of the Knights of Moses Benevolent and Fraternal Association, the pastor seemed to have been at his best. He preached two interesting and helpful sermons. The theme at the morning hour was, "Behold the Lamb of God," at the evening hour, the theme was taken from Acts 13:36, "A King's Service to a Criminal." The Christian Endeavor topic Sunday night was a very practical one and was interestingly discussed. Dr. E. D. Smith, D. D., worshiped with us Sunday night and gave a splendid talk. Don't forget the mid-week one hour service. Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock. Order of service for Sunday; Sunday school 10 a. m., Mr. Clas H. McIntosh, superintendent; preaching 11:30 a. m., Y. P. C. E. 7:30 p. m. preaching 8:30 p. m. You are invited to attend the musical program of the Christian Endeavor on Sunday evening. On last Sunday morning at the 11 o'clock service the pastor, Rev. W. Dolari Davis, preached a powerful sermon which was enjoyed by all present. The attendance for the day was very large. At the Sunday school, which met at its usual hour, the superintendent, Mr. R. M. Davis being sick, the second assistant, Mr. John W. Chaney, acted and we had a splendid meeting. There was no R. Y. P. Y. on account of the city union which met at Mt. Taber Baptist Church and our union went to this meeting and made a splendid show. we are glad to say that we came back with the banner also. At the evening service a very soul stirring sermon was preached by the pastor and many were present and enjoyed the sermon very much. On tomorrow evening at the B. Y. P. U. meeting the following program will be rendered. The meeting will be led by Miss R. H. Gaillard. Recitation ..... Miss Mazella Moultrie Solo ..... Miss Alfreda Cannon Recitation .....

CHURCH There will be special services at the First African Baptist Church tomorrow. Merring prayer service at 6 a.m. At 11 a.m. the pastor will preach a special sermon, subject "Little Things". Don't fail to hear this sermon, if you do, you will miss a treat. The choir will furnish special music. Miss Charlotte Junius of Jacksonville, Fla will shig a solo. At 2:30 sharp the communion will be administered, and every member is expected to be on hand. At 8 p.m. the pastor will preach a sermon to one of the fraternal orders of the city. As the pastor will leave Monday night for the west on a short vacation and to attend the National Baptist convention, he will appreciate seeing all friends and members present tomorrow at any or all of the services. The series of sermons on the twelve tribes of Israel is having the effect of increasing the attendance. Tomorrow night Dr. Singleton will speak on the tribe of Aser. The following classes are requested to take the front seats, numbers 1, 5, 7 and 19. The Sunday school is still on the upgrade. There were fourteen of its officers and teachers to attend the recent Sunday school convention at Stateboro. The school is making a special call for young men and many are answering the call. The time for opening Sunday school has changed from 3:15 to 3:30 p.m. A cordial invitation is extended to the public to attend all of these services. "Side-Lights" on and "The Aftermath" of the Most Successful, Unique and Historical Session of the Afro-American's "Chamber of Commerce." Taking it up one side and down the other, the Boston meet was the best yet. As a presiding officer, Dr. Washington was at his best. His attitude throught was firm, positive and dignified, without being dogmatic or dictatorial, and not a single appeal was taken from his decision. No one raised a "point of order". The official badge, with its bright national colors and bronze pot of Boston baked beans, was an "open sesame" to every courtey the good people of Boston and Cambridge could offer. The Hotel Melbourne was the rallying point, Landlord R. J. Royster, a model boniface, made it pleasant for everybody. He was ably seconded by his assistant manager, Clarence W. Gledwin, who saw to it that no one went lacking for the necessary service. It is admitted by all that for felicity of expression, brilliancy of ideas, solidity of thought and actual progressiveness, the women speakers "put it all over the men." The press service before, during and after the convention, out-hone that of any previous year. The colored press of the entire country carried columns of preliminary matter, the value of which was freely and fully commended in the admirable annual address of Dr. Washington at the Symphony hall. The dail reports in the Boston journals were marked for their accuracy and comprehensiveness. Nearly every local journal of consequence sent a special representative, who stayed on the job every minute. Many out of town papers had special reporters at the press table, arranged for the fraternity by R. W. Thompson. Leut, J. O. Thomas, A. L. Hobsey and P. P. Chisholm, of the Tusseyge Institute staff, rendered especially valuable assistance at every stage of the game. J. R. Keford, a real estate and insurance leader, of Waterbury, Mass., representing a local business league that is incorporated and has a capital of $10,000, was an interesting figure. His local league owns a fine building and is a vital force in the business life of Waterbury. The complete story of the Boston meeting cannot be told in any single article. We shall tell it for several weeks on the instalment plan. Keep your cars open for the "Echoes." One of the telling addresses was that by the Hon. Frank B. Sanborn, "The Sage of Concord," a relic of that group of immortals who fought for the abolition of slavery, shoulder to shoulder with Garrison, Phillips and Sumner. His appearance was a picture cut out of an old magazine of the ante-bellum period, and his utterances harked back to the eloquence that made Faneuil Hall indeed the "Cradel of Liberty." He counselled that the colored people of to-day keep in mind the importance of both thrift and morals, capital and conscience, acquisition and generosity, and quoted a number of little known speeches on slavery that helped to throttle the life out of the infamous institution. Mr. Sanborn was given an ovation. In the extension of welcome on behalf of the city of Boston, Mayor Curley was represented by a gallant Union soldier, Col. John M. Gilman, Past Grand Commander, G. A. R., who spoke of having left an arm on the field of battle in defense of human liberty, and as he viewed the evidences of progress made by the people his sacrifice had helped to emancipate, he did not regret the price he paid. Col. Gilman was cheered to the echo. There were notable absences from the list of "regulars" who follow the League year by year. This was caused by many counter-meetings held this year in far-away cities, with which they held official connections—such as the Pythians at Columbus, the Medical Association and Elks at Chicago, as well as state conventions of various grand lodges. Nevertheless, their places were taken by others, and the aggregate attendance broke all previous records. Those in charge of the National Convention of Governors showed they had "long heads" in setting their convention a week later than that of the Business League. As it was, the governors were not over shadowed. If there were local divisions and dissensions, such as exist in every city where progressive spirits struggle for mastery in all lines of human endeavor. no discord was manifested in Conventional hall on Wednesday morning when the gavel fell for the opening session. If any one had a hatchet, he kept it carefully concealed throughout the week. The weather was ideal—seemed to have been ordered for the occasion. A foremost worker in the local league of Cambridge is Mrs. Mary Lee-Jones, widely known as a lecturer, singer and organizer. She now conducts the Pioneer House, where good things to eat may be had, accommodates a variety of fraternal societies, carries a fashionable dress-making establishment and makes regular for secret orders. Mrs. Jones is a delightful conversationist and made a host of friends among the delegates. She is at 888 Main street, Cambridge. W. C. Gordon, president of the Acme Laundry, St. Louis, carried the banner for the Mount-City. Prof. J. F. Ransom, director of Ransom's School of Music, providing for vocal and piano instructions, has a hospitable home, at 225, West Springfield street, where a quite a number of the delegates were entertained by him and his affable sister, Miss Ransom. Prof. Ransom is also, associated with the Lotus Quartette, and has a downtown studio at 218 Tremont street, where the high class musical geniuses are wont to meet and prepare for public work. Among Prof Ransom's houseguests were Miss Minnie Brown, of the New York News, a noted singer; Miss Cora Hardin Turner, of New York City, a Parisian modiste; Prof G. H. Mcgore, national organizer of the National Negro Business League, Mr. George Giles, manager of a knitting corporation at Ocala, Florida; and R. W. Thompson, national correspondent. Mrs. Bessie Weaver, of Kansas City, Mo., one of the few colored female florists in the country, made an excellent address on the opportunity for women in this congenial business. She rendered yoyoman service as the assistant registrar, in the absence of R.C. Houston, of Texas, and secured a large share of the annual and life memberships that were enrolled. Her husband T. J. Weaver, is president and manager of the Afro-American Investment and Employment Company at Kansas City and a "hunter." Both put in some effective work for Kansas City as the next meeting place of the League. The success of the program, both for its intrinsic worth and infinite variety, is due in the largest measures to that modest and unassuming bundle of energy and reservoir of boundless resources, Emmett J. Scott, the motor behind every detail of the convention—right hand man of Dr. Washington, Mr. Scott knows practically every business man and woman in the country and can tell in a jiffy just how much water they draw. The program is certain to be clean, for every speaker is subjected to a chemical analysis by Secretary Scott before their names are entered for their talk. This may be an official secret, but it is a fact. Mr. Scott is one of the few men whom the limelight seeks; publicity needs him despite his assiduous efforts to dodge the camera. He is best loved by those who show him best. To this deserving young man, Dr. Washington paid the following tribute: "At the beginning of my annual address as president of the National Negro Business League, let me emphaize, in so far as more human words can, the depths of gratitude which all of us owe to our secretary, Mr. Emmett J. Scott, for the continued success of this organization. In a large measure, it is the hard work, the loyalty, unselflessness and resourcefulness of Mr. Scott which makes and keep this league the power for good that it is." To this the country echoes a hearty "Amen!" A worker for the success of the session, who knew not the difference between night and day, and whose virile personality did much to bring the "doubting Thomas" into line, was Dr. Samuel B. Courtney, an acknowledged leader in the professional and commercial activities of his race throughout New England. Dr. Courtney was the Clusterfield of the convention. He provided gracefully at the immense Symphony Hall meeting on Wednesday night and his address Introducing Governor David L. Walch and Dr. Booker T. Washington were models of vigorous English and happily voiced the sentiments of Boston and the race toward these eminent state-men. Thru the personaliveness of Dr. Courtney and because of the high personal esteem felt by Bostonians for him, the record for life membership was passed by a goodly margin. The total number secured by Dr. Courtney was thirty. New York having led up to this time with 25. Too much praise cannot be showered upon this helpful son of Boston in recognition of his able and effective service. The order was all that could be asked for at all of the sessions. SUNDAY SCHOOL. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson XI.—Third Quarter, For Sept. 12, 1915. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, I Kings xix, 8-18. Memory Verses, 9, 10-Golden Text, Ps. xlvi, 10-Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. "And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done." She was the ruling spirit in the house of 'Ahab, the leader in the worship of Baal, and had 400 prophets eat at her own table (xvl, 31; xvll, 10), and was one of the most devil controlled women that ever lived. Now she was indeed angry and swore to have the life of Elijah within twenty-four hours xix, 1, 2), and he fled for his life from this angry woman and came to Beersheba, which means the well of the oath and should have made him think of the faithfulness of the everlasting God (Gen. xxi, 31-34). This does not look like the same Elijah who stood so grandly with and for God on Mount Carmel, but it is another evidence of the utter failure of man apart from God, as the Lord Jesus said. "Severed from me ye can do nothing" (John xv, 5, margin). It is truly pitiful to see this man of God in the wilderness, under this tree, wanting to die; but the secret of it seems to be that he had begun to think himself of some importance and necessary to God. Notice his thrice repeated, "I, even I only, am left; remain a prophet of the Lord" xvll. 22; xix. 10, 14). He evidently thought that the hundred whom Obadiah saved were not worth mentioning, and he did not know that the Lord had 7,000 who would not, worship Baal xix. 18). Self in any form, even religious self, is very bad and a great hindrance. The only safe way is, "Not I, but Christ." "Not I, but the grace of God" (Gal. ii. 20; I Cor. xv. 10). Even the apostles failed by seeking greatness for themselves, so we all need Jer. Mr. 5. As for God, he is always gracious and full of compassion, for he knoweth our frame, he remembereth that we are dust (Ps. cill. 8, 13, 14). Elijah had been through a great strain, physical and mental, and was simply worn out. The Lord pitied him and gave him sleep and sent an angel to prepare food for him and let him sleep and eat twice, and in the strength of that food he went forty days and forty nights to Horeb, the Mount of God (verses 5-S). How wonderful is the food which God provides, either for soul or body. We think of the bread and fish by the sea of Galilee for the men who had to toll all night and caught nothing (John xxi. 9) and of the way He fed Israel for forty years in the wilderness. We shall see that this discouraged man who wanted to die never did die, and after some 900 years we see him alive and well, with the only other two forty day fasters in the Bible story, on the mount of transfiguration. Let all faint and discouraged ones look up and see Him who so tenderly cared for us, and pitiful us, and notices whether the way is long or short, and just how much strength we have, for he said to Elijah by the angel, "the journey is too great for thee" (verse 7). There are many thing too heavy and too painful for us, but there is nothing too hard for the Lord (Ex. xviii. 18; Numb. xi. 14; Ps. lxxiii. 16; Jer. xxxvl. 17. 27). It may not be easy for us to understand why Elijah took that long journey to Horeb, but when he reached there the word of the Lord came to him, saying, "What doesst thou here, Elijah?" (Verses 9. 13.) Twice the question was asked him, and twice he answered in the same way, that he was jealous for the Lord God of hosts, that Israel had forsaken His convenient, that he was the only prophet left, and that his life was being sought verses 10. 14). That he was the only prophet, if it had been true, would seem to be a good reason why he should have remained, and not run away. Fear for his life does not sound well from Elijah. The poor man was evidently quite out of fellowship with God, and much occupied with himself. The God who could rend the mountains with a mighty wind, make the earth to quake and send fire from heaven (verses 11, 12), was certainly capable of caring for His servant, and it seems to us as if Elijah might have relied upon Him. It is not always His way to do great and mighty things, and what Elijah needed now was quietness to hear the still small voice. The golden text for this lesson has been well chosen. Instead of special zeal and energy, which is often of the flesh, how often we need to be still, stand still, sit still, rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him. The Lord's instructions to Elijah must have been very humiliating to him: "Go. return on thy way, * * * anoint Elijah to be prophet in thy room, * * * I have left me 7,000 in Israel who have not bowed unto Baal" (verses 15-18). That looks like a setting aside of the man who had been so grand for God. There are certain people whom God cannot use—the fearful or the self indulgent, as in the case of Gideon's army, or the self important, as in this lesson. He looks for the weak and empty ones, the things that are nought with which to bring to nought, the things that are. When he wants a man He knows where to find him, as when he found Saul and David, and Moses, and Amos, and now Elisha. And he called each from their ordinary occupations, as he did also some of the apostles? Gabriel probably found Mary busy in household duties: WHOLESALE AND RETAIL Fruit and Commission Merchant 303 ST.
