CAPTAIN C. C. WIMBISH DEAD
An Old and Honéred Citizen and
Chureh Man—Long Identified with
Movements for Betterment
. Of Negro Race.
Atlanta, Ga.—Capt. C. C. Wimblsh,
an old and highly honored citizen of
Atlunta, died early Monday morning,
October 18th, at his home, corner
Ellis and Fort streets, after an illness
that lasted only about thirty-six hours.
Capt, Wimbish had Jong been a cltt-
zen bere, and, in bis early life, attended
school at Atlanta University with some
of the leading Negroes of our xtate,
He has long been Identified with every
morement for the uplift ‘and better-
ment of: his race and has never lost
an opportunity to speak a good word
for them in what he thought was right,
without taking in consideration his
own safety. <
He was of that clase that was
known iis the “old school” in polities;
was a rock-ribbed republican and never
failed to defen the principles pro-
mplgated by its founders. He (hus
been hohored on nymerous occantons
hy the republican voters of the Sth
Congressional district; was Itsychair-
man for eight years; was elected four
times in succession to as many natfonal
conventions; was appointed surveror of
customs of the City of Atlanta by Pres-
fdent Harrison for four years and)
when President McKinley took up his,
duties ax chief exeeutive of the na-
tion, he was again Lonored with the!
same position and when he checked in
early Inst Monday morning, he was
still a faithful employee of the Na-
tional Government of which he was
proud te: he called a part.
Altho Capt. Wimbich was not a
wealthy man and having a large family
to support, he never forgot charity and
in the language of the poet who said:
“If you cannot give your thousands;
you can give a widow’s mite,” he
save of earthly means as best he could,
and long after his remains shall have
returned to dust, his name will be
called blessed by those whom he has
aided.
In his early Ife, Capt. Wimbish
never forgot his Maker, and belleving
in the Lowly Nazarene, he long ago
joined that great army of his followers
and connected himself with the First
Congrégational’ Church, and when he
breathed his last, he was one of the
most loyal members. Of a genfal and
pleasing disposition, he will be greatly
missed by men, women and children
to whom he was so well and favorably
known,
Early Monday morning when a
heavenly sentry sounded the bugle call
and commanded him to come unto hig}
Jesus and rest from his worldly labors,
and while he was surrounded by b'x
faithful wife and children, except oa?
son, he turned bis ticket to his heave 1-
y conductor, and crossed the great di-
vide from whence no traveler was
ever known to return,
His funeral was largely attended
and the pall bearers were made up of
his Nfelong friends, men who had
yeen with him in many of bis bard.
fought political battles.
Capt. Wimbish leaves to mourn his
Jeath a faithful and loving wife, three
ons and three daughters; a sister,|
Mrs. Dennis, and numerous relatives
throughout the state. |

ficlent to insure the payment of teach-
ers for these rooms for the remaining
elzht months .of the school year and
then to ask the board of education to
allow the use of thése rooms.

mittee of five was appointed to canvass
the town and get pledges from indivi-
duals, churches, lodges and other or-
zanizations. This committee is to re-
port at the next meeting which will

The Frock For Matinee or Musicale
Combinations of Velvet and Falle, or Velvet and Broadcloth, Favored Also and Brocaded Grosgrain
A TOUCH OF FUR DEMANDED
New York, October 20—There are many interesting plays in town; afternoon teas are among the social demands, and the tea rooms of the Ritz, Plaza, Astor, and Vanderbilt are once more gay with the laughing chatter of many voices. The charming array of gowns makes these more public places more interesting. The dark rich velvets, combined with satins, taffetas, broadcloths, and velours are most effective and winter-looking with the touch of fur which almost invariably appears on some part of the gown.
The Popularity of the Jumper
Perhaps the most generally favored style of gown or blouse is the jumper; there is a little jumper bodice made with narrow shoulder straps, crossing suspender fashion down the back, or continuing down each side of the back in straight lines. The sleeveless basque in various styles is popular, too, with sleeves of satin, taffeta, or crepe Georgette. Many of the blue serge gowns, and the heavier fabrics, such as duvetyn and velours de haine, are made this way, as many dislike a heavy sleeve. This is also an economical idea, as the sleeves may be varied; a paid of satin or taffeta may do service

for morning, and by substituting a guimpe of crepe Georgette, or chiffon cloth, the same frock becomes dressy enough for afternoon wear. A very chic dress of the new tobacco brown duvetyn, built on these lines, was made with the jumper bodice buttoning in a double breasted line in simulation of a vest front. This frock was accompanied by a guimpe of self-tone chiffon. Another material favored for contrasting sleeves is brocaded grosgain; a blue serge, for instance, is made with a guimpe of blue grosgain brocaded in gold, with charmingly harmonious effect.
Among the dressier afternoon frocks the use of velvet combined in various ways with satin, faille, or taffeta, striped or plain, is most agreeable. One charming little frock was made with the lower section of the skirt in velvet, arranged in a Wall-of-Troy design; this same effect was carried out in the lower section of the bodice, which was also of the black velvet. The upper part of the skirt was of striped gros de Londres, and the upper part of the bodice of crepe Georgette. On another interesting costume a jumper basque of velvet was worn with pleated skirt of faille, banded around the lower edge with the velvet.
The Swish of the Petticoat
The very name of the petticoat has brought smiles, now, for a season or two, but there is no garment more delightfully feminine. Its gay little ruffles enchance the slenderness of a dainty ankle and its soft swish delight the heart of the really feminine person, no matter how independent she may have been of it for the past season or two. It has really returned this winter after many indications and predictions from smart modistes. It is the real, swi-hy, beruffled thing of years gone by, too. Among the most charming of novelties is a fur-trimmed petticoat to accompany a full-skirted frock for afternoon or evening. Taffeta, chiffon cloth, the soft satins, and batiste are favored materials, while
ruffles, gathered, fluted shirred, corded, and plain, are again a part of its adornment.
The Costume Blouse
One or two dainty dressy blouses of chiffon cloth, crepe Georgette, a patterned crepe, or taffetas, is almost a necessity in a well ordered wardrobe; it will be found economical, too, as often the suit may be made to do service for many of the more dressy occasions by adding one of these becoming costume blouses. The new models show interesting features. One is the high collar of the material, piped or banded with a contrasting color. The sleeve is another; they are made very ample through the elbow and, in many instances, are gathered into the arm-
MCCALL
Another Smart use of Velvet hole; this being a decided departure. Most of the blouses button straight down the front, from the top of the collar and, as a general rule, are made with a short peplum, or are so arranged that they may be worn over the skirt.
A Word on Hats
Hats are facinating in their quaintness this season; the crown on most of them is or necessity high, with narrow brim, stiff but slightly drooping, after the manner of the Directoire period. The wifier brimmed hats form a poque in front, and now and then a small ostrich tip or two nests against the hair. Some of the high crowned hats have a softening frill of lace or maline falling over the edge of the brim; this, however, has nothing of the bizarre in effect.
\ NEGRO MUSICIANS
Their Popularity and Success Accounted For by Heredity and Study
To the Editor of the New York Sum.—Sir: "Why does society prefer the Negro musicians? The question was recently asked by one of your correspondents. If the Negro musician enjoys any preference at all, he does not enjoy it solely be cause of his color. His color is a handicap; and wherever he achieves success he does so in the face of doubly severe competition. In certain branches of his occupation the Negro musician has been successful: in furnishing entertainment at dinner parties, receptions and other social functions similar in character, and in furnishing dance music. For work of the former kind his services have always been in demand, because of his unfalling food nature, his genial, kindly humor and versatility. Until recently those who engaged in this work were for the most part untrained musicians who relied on their natural talents.
In a few years, however, a new type of Negro musician has appeared in response to the demand for dance music of which the distinguished characteristic is an eccentric tempo. Such music usually takes the form of highly syncopated melodies, which in the early period of its development was known as "ragtime" music. Since the dance is born of music, it is quite apparent that the moredrn dance is a creature of the syncopated melody. Thus a field has been opened to Negro musicians. The Negro's success is due to the following facts: He is a natural musician and throws himself into the spirit of the work with spontaneous enthusiasm; so that the music rendered by a Negro orchestra rarely has the mechanical quality which is fatal to dancing. He has a superlon sense of rhythm, peculiarly adapting him for dance music. The art of playing the modern syncopated music is to him a natural gift.
He excels in the use of the guitar, banjo and mandolin, instruments which
are now being generally adopted by orchestras playing dance music to obtain the "thumb-thumb" effect and the eccentric accentuated beat so desirable in dance music; and he was the first to discover the availability of these instruments for such purpose.
In addition to his natural talent in the above respects the modern Negro musician is well trained in his art. He reads readily, memorizes marvelously well interprets naturally, and not only understands the principles of technique in the use of his instrument but is remarkably skillful in execution as is to be expected when one considers that the Negro possesses a rare facility for arts requiring physical skill.
Perhaps it is fair to say that the Negro has contributed to American music whatever distinctive quality it possesses. Certainly he is the originator of the highly syncopated melody so much favored to-day. Some years ago in Cole & Johnson's show, of which I was musical director, there was a number containing a peculiarly syncopated passage which not a single white orchestra succeeded in playing correctly, while colored orchestras played it without effort, unconscious of its intricacies.
Such preference as the Negro musician enjoys is therefore due to efficiency which is the result of a natural inheritance and to his application to the serious study of his music. Many of the members of those orchestras whose success your correspondent so much deplores are arrangers and composers.

WHAT MR. HARTSTEW SAW ON HIS TRIP
St. Louis, Mo.—I have not been able to say all I would like to say, nor have I been to all the places I would like to go, yet I am going to write this week to let you know that I am well and doing well and hope that when these few lines come to hand may find you the same.
But then why should I take up your time to tell you about my health? It is because this is one of the things that people are interested in, and I am to take my place with others. I am to let you know just how I feel and when I get through you will know that much about me.
I was just a little further west when I took my pen in hand to write you last week. I met some prosperous people in that part of the country, and I am sure this will be of interest to you.
I had the pleasure of stopping over a day in Kansas City, and while there visited the Southwest Missouri conference, presided over by Bishop H. Blanton Parks. Bishop Parks is the product of Georgia, and I am of the opinion that the state is proud of him because of the good he is accomplishing from time to time, and because he is making one of the best bishops on the bench. He belongs in the class of men that the Rev. Dr. Singleton, who is closing up his work in Savannah, and it is hoped by his friends to take up work in another part of the world, and that as one of the bishops of his church. You see he has lived in Savannah for a long time and the country knows of his clean record. He would be a credit to his church in any position.
On to St. Louis was the cry, and I was right there when the man called "Union Station, St. Louis." I rode in a bed car and was up and dressed and ready to get off. It was Sunday morning when I got in town and went to see Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. Church where the Missouri conference is in session while I am writing you, and they are having a great time there too.
I have had the pleasure of meeting some of the big men of the A.M.E. Church. For years I have been hearing about Rev. Dr. Reverdy C. Ransom, of New York, editor of the A. M. E. Church Review, but never had the pleasure of meeting him before.
Well he was here looking after the interest of his publication. It has been well looked after in every particular. He is one of the men who knows how to speak. I have never met a big man who was more friendly with us little fellows. He treated me like I was one of them great big men. Then I met Rev. J. C. Caldwell, of Nashville, Tenn., secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor League, strictly the society of young people. They have a good secretary, and some of his real worth will be recognized by his church and he will be one of the bishops. In his election will mean strength among the young people. I do not know when this will take place, but it will come sure.
Rev. Brooks told me that I was to be the guest of Rev. S. A. Mosley, one of the leading Baptist preachers of this country and one of the vice presidents of the National Baptist Convention. He assured me that I was welcome to his home, and that I would find myself at home with him. He remembered seeing me in Chicago when
the big time was on there, and had many things to say about it.
He believes that it will soon be settled, and I believe so too, and when this is settled there will not be any room for further trouble. It is thought that the whole family will go Savannah as one.
Of course you know that Dr. E. C. Morris is a great big man, and he is doing his work for his race and church, and I am proud that I got to see him. I have never seen a man so cool under fire in my life. He is just a leader—that's all. I have had the pleasure of meeting a number of people in this part of the moral vineyard.
St. Louis is a busy place. We have some five or six men helping to protect the city. They are on the police force. I like to see this. Then there is one of our men in the city attorney's office, Lawyer Hill, and they say he is going to be promoted, because of his efficiency and worth, and I am glad of this.
I shall leave St. Louis in a few days for Nashville, Tenn., and then I am going to take a trip to Virginia.
NEGRO POETS
Those who visited the recent convention of Negro business men in Boston must have gone away pondering, as one of the speakers said, what fifty years have wrought. In considering the progress of this race it is worth while to Hunger, too, over the great work of Dr. Booker T. Washington in insisting that the Negro shall develop himself, express himself, be himself.
An illustration of what the African can do, and curiously enough also of how easily he may be turned from achievement, was seen in the history of Phillis Wheatley. The young girl recalled having been torn from her mother's arm in the African jungle. She remembered the wild life of her tribe, the strange chants and songs, the fantastic procession of animals thru forest paths, a memory picture alive with light and color, with tropical sights and sounds. She was found to possess a gift for verse, that instinct for melody and rhythm which everywhere marks the race. Twelve years after she had reached Boston, a frightened, inarticulate, savage child, she published a volume of English poems which made her name familiar in London and New York.
But unfortunately her tutors had not known how to win from her those native woodnotes wild which might have woven so marvelous a new web of song. She gave her days and night to the study of Pope and she produced merely the mild drawing-room verse of the time, without one spark of poetic fire or of her model's force.
That she did so much was much; that she did not do more was doubtless due to her training. With America looking for its folk song to those plantation ballads of Stephen Foster which, if not true Negro melodies, yet were inspired by the plaintive story of the race, with Paul Lawrence Dunbar's poetry as testimony, and with the son of an African mother giving England such musle as Coleredge-Taylor's "Hiawatha," the Negro has indeed much to encourage him.
May he not look within himself and his own race experience for original and beautiful poetry and music, which if it, could express the whole heart-searching story might echo down the centuries, even as Homer's songs have come down freighted with Trojan legend, and bright with all pageentry of ancient Greece?-Editorial: Christian Science Monitor.
Easy Oysters.
During a discussion on finance in the United States senate one of the speakers traced the history of the various mediums of exchange, their development and changes from the days of barter to the days of gold and silver.
"I call to the attention of the senate," he said in the course of the speech, "that at one time the medium of exchange was oyster shells. Oyster shells were used for money."
"Dellightful!" broke in the late Senator Hoar of Massachusetts. "If that system only prevailed now we could order half a dozen oysters on the half shell and pay for them with the shells."
Could Do For Herself
She was a very delightful but a very aged lady—over ninety—and her friends and relatives and even chance acquaintances, drawn by her exquisite personality, all did her homage and, as the saying is, "waited on her hand and foot."
She accepted it all very, gratiously, but with some inward rebellion, for to a very old and close mouthed friend she once said, with a quaint pucker of lips and brows:
"I am reminded sometimes of the old lines:
"Twa were blowin' at her nose.
And three were bucklin at her ahoon."

AMONG THE MASONS
To-day the world is full of fraternal
orders. There are so many of them
that names for them have become
searee. The Greek letters have all been
used up. and even the beast of the

Jent their titles to new organizations.
Amid them all Masonry rules su-

“EVERYBODY'S DOING IT NOW"
Synopsis of a Sermon Delivered By
Rey. T. Jefferson Goodall
Tey, Goodall, the pastor of the First
African Baptist Church, preached last
Sunday a wonderful sermon, taking
his test from x, Grd chapter, 2nd
verse. He useit for his subject the
“National, Air” of the underworld,
“Eversholy’s “Doing it Now." The
verse of the text has direct refegence
upon the “danger of following a crowd
bent upon evil" The preacher at first
reasoned without Hlustration regarding
Individual responsibility, showing that
in great crowds, where crimes are
often committed. the individual, mak-
ing up the crowds make it possible for
the criminal to commit crime and lose
identity. The crowd. then, in a gen-
eral way, becomes responsible, in that
the evil doer ix a part of the crowd.
Becunse, apparently. everybody runs,
in tlme of excitement, to seek the cause
thereof. does not make it right or ex-
Pedient so to do. The word “apparent-

this. ay in many other cases, the popu-
ular idea carried by the theme “every-
body's doing it now.” finds not justiti
able application, It Is the part of wis-
dim, said the preacher, to avoid the
crowd, when the crowd is bent on evil
or when its purpo-e is not well defiried.
Consclence, said the preaches, is the
internal power that should direct and
guide. He referred to the failure of
aaron to follow the {internal monitor
conscience. as well as the counsel of
of Moses. and the miéry which fot
lowed AS a consequence. Because’ al
[the other tribes had a visible stand
ard around which to ritlly, the people
demanded of him a god. Yielding tc
the vociferous solicitations and impuni
tles of the people, against the law of
God and the camand of Moses, he erect
ed a golden calf and the people howee
down and worshipped it. When in
I qury was made by Moses as,to why thi
‘was done, the answer was that “every
hody's doing it and I yielded to the
demands of the qeople.” Salil th
preacher. “but every body was not do
Ing it, For even in that territory thers
were 7,000 who had not bowed thei
knees to Baal, nor worshiped strangi
sods” %
Sat the preacher, “The Negro is his
greatest menace. It is his deplorable
tendancy to copy from other races the
evil instead of the good that bring
them most of their trouble” Th
preacher took a pat shot at the “sli
skirt,” the “spool heel” shoe, and in
eidently denounced “tight lacin£.” He

There is no harm in dancing said
the preacher, except as harm ix made
of it. And that’s where the danger is.
“What would you say if you should
see your minister dancing?" — Great
harm would appear shonld he take a
step or two, The “after the ball” es-
eapades have brought about the ruin
of many a young girl and have caused
countless mothers to weep. The sume,
my friends, Is not worth the chase,
said the preacher. , :
Many men belleve and openly state
that there are no hidies among us.
stid the preacher, ‘These little things
ave moral degenerates and should be
ignored by men and women — alike.
‘They have dealt In sin and wrizeled in
iniquity so Joniz that they can see no
woman save as a degenerate. Because
they do evil they grow into the be
lief that “every body's doing it?
In conclusion, my friends, Tet me
warn you against this songz and its
signification, Leave off the — things
which destroy, and ¢leave to the re-
lion of the Christ. Do not follow
the crowd and remember that every
one of you will be individually judzed
and must rended a strict account for
the deeds done In the body whether
they be good or whether they be evil.
‘The strangeness of the subject to
be discussed as well ax the personal
popularity of Rev. Goodall, carried a
great crowd to his church, And when
the hymn, “O For a Thousand Tongues
to Sing” was lined, there was upward
of a thousand persons to sing it. All
denominations were present and en-
Joyed, not ashow, but a show
down of real theological research
coupled with grace and ease and force
of deliverance. He made strikingly
applicable, biblical references and
showed that for every impending evi
there ix a remedy in the scripture.
Those who went to laugh. if there were
such, were rendered soberminded by
the withering eloquence and earness-
ness of the preacher.

Very few people realize that there
was a day when petticoats were worn

serve as marines on shipboard. Pettt-

in vogue there since the days of. Queen

Memory Verses, 16, 17—Golden Text,
Ps: xxxiv, 7—Commentary Prepared
by Rev. D. M, Stearns.
In last week's lesson the conduct of
'Elisba, the man of God, was truly
grand as he made it manifest thay be
did‘ indeed stand before the lslzs
God, uot cringing to nor fawning upop
any human greatness nor sevkinz any-
thing from any one but the Lord alone.
His covetous lying servant could not
understand it and Liought upon bim-
self the leprosy of Xaaman. “Take
heed, and beware of covetutsness.”
for “covetousness is idolatry” (Luke
wii, 15; Col. fil, 5).
‘The opentng verses of our lesson
chapter tell of Elisha going with the
sons of the prophets to Jordan to ob-
j tain material to enlarge their dwelling.
which had become too strait for them.
We are not told what school this was,
but probably the one at Jericho, for
that was nearest to Jordan, and.per-
haps the same young men who search-
ed iu yaln three days for DliJab. It
looks as if there was an increase in the
number of students, aud if so It may
‘have been because of the translation
of Eiljak. This I do know that the
truths concerning the coming of Christ
and associated events alyrays lead to
Increase of interest In Bible staéy.
‘The lost ax recovered by a bit of tree
east Into the water, which made thé
iron swim, makes me think of the tree
which made the waters of Marah to
Jose their bitterness (Ex. xv, 25) and
of Him who fs the tree of life, who
alone can recover the lost or sweeten
bitter waters.
In our preset lesson the king of
Israel was delivered several times from
the king of Syria because of the time-
ly warnings of Elisha, so that the king
of Syria believed that he had a traitor
in liis-army who was a friend of the
king of Israel. He called his servants
to inquire which of them it was who
revealed his plaus to the king of Isra-
el. It was thus that be learned that
there was no traitor among his people,
but that there was a prophet in Isra-
el Who could tell his king everything.
;even the words he spoke, in secret
(serses 8-12),
When the king of Syria determined
to capture Elisha and sent horses and
chariots, a great host, who came by
night and compassed the city of Do-
than, where Llisharwas (verses 13, 14).
In the morning Eilsha’s servant, see-
ing this great host, was filled with
fear, and said, “Alas, my master, how
shall we do?” Elisha calmly replied,
“Fear not, for they that be with us
are more than ‘they that be with
thém” (verses 15, 16). Elisha could
make the words of David his own,
“Though an host should encamp against
me my heart shall not fear" (Ps, xxvii,
3). He could say with Paul, “If God
be for us whgcan be against us?”
(Mom, vill, 3L)~ Ob, the rest of such
confidence in God, the victory of such
a consciousness of the unseen! Moses
endured as seeing Him who Is invisi-
ble. David also realized in a remark-
able degree the presence of the Lord.
Our Lord Jesus when he was here
was ministered to by the angels and
sald that He coukl have legions of
them for the asking. As Elisha en-
deavored to quiet his servant he sald,
“Lord, I pray thee. open his eyes that
he may see.” And the young man saw
the mountain full of horses and chari-
ots of fire round about Elisha (verse
17). Ob, for such a sight of unseen
realities! But then comes the word,
“Blessed are they that have not seen,
yet have belleved” “We walk by
{ faith, not by sight” (John xx, 29; II
| Cor. v, 7. I do belleve that the an

‘the classes that I know that I have
two congregations, those ‘whom I se¢
and the invisible angels who desire to
look into the things of which we
| speak (I Pet. 4, 12).
‘As the Syrians came to take Elisha
he said, “Lord, I pray Thee smite this
people with blindness,” and He did so.
| Phen Elisha said to them, “Follow me
and I will bring you to the man whom
ye seck” (verses 18, 19), for it was
| Feally the king of Israel whom they
j Were seeking. ‘They only wanted the
prophet because he was hindering
| them from getting the king of Israel.
| Having brought them to the man thes
wanted, he said, “Lord, open the eyes
of these men that they’ may see,” and,
their eyes being opened, they found
themselves in Samaria in the presence
-of the king of Israel. At the sugges
tion of Elisha be prepared great pro
‘vision for them, and when they had

to their master. So the bands of Syris

ST. BENEDICTS CHURCH
At a congregational meeting held Sunday night, October 17th, Very Rev. Ignatius Lisner, the provincial of our Georgia mission, made the happy announcement that he has succeeded in providing for the new school to be erected in the parish on the east side. Ground will be broken for it early in the spring. This new structure will contain, besides the necessary classrooms, a large hall for general purposes. As Rev. Father Lisner is to celebrate his silver jubilee next year in the priesthood, we expect to hold his celebration in the new school building which will be finished in July or August 1916. Provisions have also been made for the erection of a new rectory on Garden and Taylor streets.
A big and interesting card party has been planned by some of the members of our parish to be held at St. Mary's hall on Thanksgiving night at 9 p.m. about fifty tables will be put up for the players and prizes will be awarded the lucky winners. The proceeds will go to the new school fund. Only 25 cents admission is to be charged. Music and refreshments, before and after, will be supplied. A very cordial invitation is extended to all of our members and friends who wish to take part in this happy event.
Our Sunday services were largely attended on October 17th. A series of sermons are being preached on the "Decalogue" every Sunday night at 9 p.m. Very prestial truths are driven home to you in these special sermons. Don't forget that the better you know and understand the law of God, the better Christian and the more useful to the community you can be.
ST. PHILIPS MONCMENTAL
The fourth quarterly conference was held last Friday night at Monumental Church, Rev. C. C. Cargile, predeied. Over $1,000 was reported for the past three months. Rev. N. Bemby, the pastor, reported 57 accession since the last conference. The Sunday school at 9:30 a.m. each sabbath morning is proving to be a great drawing card under the superintendency of the tireless worker, W. O. P. Sherman, Jr. and J. W. Love, asst. The pastor is preaching some sensational sermons now and it is difficult at times to get seats. Visitors are always welcome.
The Georgia Annual Conference will meet at the old church. November 24 and great preparations are being made for their entertainment. Several bishops and general officers of the church will be present from all over the United States, Bishop J. S. Flipper of the 6th Episcopal district will preside.
The Evangelical Ministers' Union met in its usual Tuesday meeting. Devotion was conducted by Rev. B. S. Hannah. The 42nd. Psalter was read. The president then introduced Mr. Sol. C. Johnson. Mr. Johnson's sole purpose was to invite the union to a meeting called Thursday morning at St. Philip A. M. E. Church. The purpose of the meeting was to form plans for the accommodation of the colored children who can't get treats in the schools. The sermonic report was given by Rev. J. S. Jenkins from St. Matthew, 5th chapter and 19th verse.
F. B. B. CHURCH
On Sunday morning the services were conducted by Rev. Green. At night Rev. Wright read for the lesson Ps. 96. His text was from Isaiah 9:6, the subject was "Christ the wonderful." The sermon was filled with many illustrations of His power and wisdom. Much interest is being shown by the members of the B. Y. P. U. The attendance is quite large at each meeting.
Glaciers In Nebraska.
Many of the physical features of eastern Nebraska were produced by sheets of ice that invaded the region during and after the earlier stages of the great ice age. At the opening of the glacial epoch the great Keewatin glacier spread southward and covered large parts of the Dakotas, Minnesota and Iowa and extended thence into eastern Nebraska, where it was probably several hundred feet thick. This first stage of glaciation was brought to a close by the melting of the ice in a warmer interglacial time or stage—the Aftonlan.
A remarkable assemblage of animals invaded the region after the ice had disappeared, and the bones and teeth of many of these animals have been found in the Aftonlin deposits of western Iowa. The late Professor Samuel Calvin identified the remains of horses, camels, stags, elephants, mastodons, mammoths and sloths. When these animals lived in western Iowa the climate there must have been comparatively mild and vegetation very abundant.—Geological Survey Bulletin.
Trollope's Cigars.
Anthony Trollope prided himself on having reduced the writing of novels—and good novels—to something like a mechanical process, devoting to the work so many hours a day and timing himself to an output of so many words an hour. His advice to the literary aspirant was to glue himself to his seat and write, but he himself had another source of inspiration.
One wall of his library was devoted to rows of little cupboards or bins, each with a separate glass door and filled with cigars stacked across and across like timber to allow free circulation of air. A pointed stud in the wood above the door indicated the bin in use, and as soon as any one bin was emptied the stud was removed to above the next door and the empty receptacle refilled from the big chests which Trollope obtained straight from Havana.—London Saturday Review.
Walpole, Knight of Garter.
Warpole, Knight of Garter.
When Sir Robert Walpole was installed knight of the garter in 1726 he was the only commoner, with one exception, to whom the honor had been given since the reign of James I. The honor apparently was regarded as so great that Walpole had to apologize for his audacity, which he did in this fashion: "Is ambition imputed to me? Why, then, do I still continue a commoner—I who refuse a white staff and a peerage? I had, indeed, like to have forgotten the little ornament about my shoulders which gentlemen have so repeatedly mentioned in terms of sarcastic obloquy. But, surely, though this may be regarded with envy or indignation in 'another place,' it cannot be supposed to raise any resentment in this house, where many may be pleased to see those honors which their ancestors have worn restored to the commons."—London Chronicle.
Poisons In Warfare.
There are many substances which may be employed to poison or asphyxiate an enemy, either by tempering the wind or by use in projectiles. Hydrocyanic acid, known as prussic acid, is so poisonous that a mere breath of it means instant death. Sulphuric anhydride when brought in contact with air combines rapidly with moisture absorbed from the air, producing sulphuric acid. Thrown in a bomb with just explosive charge enough to disrupt the bomb and scatter the sulphuric anhydride, the air for a large space about the explosion would be at once converted into a dense fog of sulphuric acid. Liquid ammonia similarly employed would instantly so fill the atmosphere with ammonia as to strangle all persons in the immediate vicinity.—Brooklyn Eagle.
The Heart of a Mouse.
A tiny mouse who lived near the house of a magician begged him to save her from the cat, of whom she lived in deadly terror. So the magician changed the mouse into a cat, and she went away delighted. In a few days she came back again in terror. "Oh, save me, save me now from the dog," she begged. And the magician changed her to a dog. A few days more and back she came, this time in deadly fear of a tiger. "Nonsense," said the magician. "You have only the heart of a mouse, and afraid you will always be. It is the heart that tells."

Lesson V.—Fourth Quarter, For Oct. 31, 1915.
Text of the Lesson, II Kings xi, 4-12.
Memory Verses, 11, 12—Golden Text,
Prov. xiv, 11—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
Apart from the story of Ahab we have only considered the lives of Jeroboam, who made Israel to sin, and that of good King Asa. The story of the ten tribes and their kings was bad all through, and, although Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel, yet he took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart, but departed not from the sins of Jeroboam (II Kings x, 31). As to Judah, the two tribes, Jehoshapht, who succeeded his father, Asa, was a good king on the whole, but his fellowship with the king of Israel was bad, and he was reproved for it in these words: "Shouldest thou help the ungodly and love them that hate the Lord?" (II Chron. xviii, 1; xix, 2). See also II Chron. xx, 3. Jehoshapht was succeeded by his son, Jehoram, who reigned only eight years, but made his mark decidedly for evil, for he married the daughter of that wicked pair. Ahab and Jezebel, and walked in the ways of the kings of Israel like the house of Ahab. He suffered terribly in his body and from his enemies, according to a message from the Lord by Elijah, and departed without being desired (II Chron. xxI, 5; xII, 15; xviii, 20). All his sons were slain except the youngest, Ahabiah, and he became king at the age of forty-two and reigned only one year. He walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother, Athaliah, and others of the house of Ahab were his counselors to do wickedly (II Chron. xxii, 1-4). He was slain by Jehu, and when his mother saw that her son was dead she slew all the seed royal of the house of Judah, or thought she did. But the living God, who will let nothing of His word fall to the earth, was watching over the seed of the kingdom (II Kings x, 10; xI, 1, marsh).
The sister of Ahaziah, who was the wife of Jehoiada the priest, somehow stole the baby Joash and hid him and his nurse in a bedchamber in the house of God for six years, during which time Athaliah reigned over the land, and what a reign it must have been! (II Kings x1, 2, 3; II Chron. xxll, 10-12). But in due time deliverance always comes, and in the seventh year Jehoiada the priest arranged to have Joash proclaimed king, taking every precaution to have everything done in due order and to prevent any miscarriage of events. He gathered the Levites and the rulers and the captains by hundreds in the house of the Lord and showed them the king's son and said, "Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the Lord hath said of the sons of David," and all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God (verse 4 and II Chron. xxlll, 1-3). As one day is with the Lord as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day, one cannot help thinking of the seventh thousand years when the devil, whom Athaliah so well represented, shall be shut up in the pit and there shall be a fulfillment of the words "Yet have I set my King upon my holy hill of Zlon" (Ps. 11, 6). All through the book there are so many foreshadowings of the coming kingdom upon which our hearts should be constantly set, for all the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in us (Rom. vill, 18). Jehoiada arranged all in their places, with instructions to those with weapons to compass the king roundabout, and be brought forth the king's son and anointed him, crowned him, gave him the testimony and made him king, the people clapping their hands and saying, "God save the king" (verses 8, 11, 12). Jehoiada made a covenant between the Lord and the king and the people that they should be the Lord's people, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet.
Joash was seven years old when he began to reign (verses 17, 20, 21). They broke down the house of Baal and broke in pieces thoroughly his altars and his images and slew Athallah, that wicked woman with the sword, and the priest appointed officers over the house of the Lord (verses 18, 20). It must have seemed like a change from hell to heaven for the people of Judah. What will it be for the whole world when a king shall reign in righteousness, and the work of righteousness shall be peace, and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance forever! (Isa, xxxii, 1, 17). The readers of these lesson notes may think that I quote some passages very often, but it is because they mean so much to me. They are my meat and drink. May they all mean more to each of us! Joash is the youngest king of whom we read, but good King Josiah was one year older when he began to reign (II Kings xxii, 1). Every good king was in some measure a type of Him who when He was but a babe was worshiped as King of the Jews (Matt. ii, 1, 2, 11), but who is still waiting for His kingdom. Joash was wonderfully preserved that the word of the Lord concerning David and his kingdom might not fail, and we may be quite certain that the other assurances to David which are not yet fulfilled shall be fulfilled to the letter in God's own good time and way. The promises of God are absolute certainties, and we may rest our whole weight upon them.

No grease. No acid. A little 3-in-One on a soft cloth cleans and polishes perfectly all veneered or varnished furniture and woodwork. Sprinkled on a yard of black cheesecloth it makes an ideal Dustless Dusting Cloth. 3-in-One absolutely prevents rust on gun barrels, auto fixtures, bath room fixtures, gas ranges, everything metal, indoors or out, in any climate. It sinks into the unseen metal pores and forms a protecting "overcoat" which stays on.
