Savannah Tribune

VOLUME XXXI WILL PUBLISH SIX LEADING PUPILS IN EVERY GRADE OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS BEGINNING Much Interest Manifested in the Monthly Publication by The Tribune Last Year of Names of Six Leading Pupils....Parents Should Encourage Their Children by Taking the Paper. Following up the plans of last year, The Tribune will again publish, this year during each month of the school year, the names of the leading pupils in every grade of the colored public schools of the city. The first report will ofcourse appear in the earliest issue of The Tribune, subsequent to the issuing of the monthly report cards by the schools. These cards will be issued to the pupils on the first day of next month, the publication of the names of the first six pupils in each grade appearing in The Tribune November 6th. Much interest was manifested in the publication of the names last year by both pupils and parents and the issues of The Tribune which contained this interesting list, of names were very much in demand. Wherever parents took cognizance of their children's names appearing among the leaders in their classes the latter were greatly encouraged and invariably strived to have their names among the select few the following month. The publication of these names proved a stimulus to the children to do better all round class room work and many of the teachers in the system found the idea very encouraging to the children. In many instances certain children's names appeared among the first six during each of the nine months and as a means of showing their interest in the good work done by their children many parents took occasion to send The Tribune containing the names of the leading pupils to their friends in other cities. MR. SIDNEY WOODWARD TO APPEAR IN SAVANNAH Mr. Sidney Woodward, hear of the vocal department of music of Atlanta University, and one of the most widely known Negro tenors, will appear in recital in this city on Friday night, November 5th. Mr. Woodward comes here under the auspices of the Allied Churches. Particulars concerning the recital will be given later. MR. WALLACE J. PIERPONT ELECTED MAYOR MONDAY At a meeting of the city council Monday night the Hon. Wallace J. Pierpont was elected mayor of Savannah to succeed the late Mayor Davant. Mr. Pierpont, who is one of the leading business men of the city, is a man easy of approach and one who is generally well liked by all classes of citizens. He is a native of the state of Illinois, but has resided here for many years. YOUNG ADELPHIA CLUB ROOM The Young Adelphia Club has opened for the social gatherings of its members, a club room at 509 West Waldburg stree. The building is two stories and well appointed for the purpose for which it is used. The rooms are all neatly furnished and every possible convenience is to be found there for the comfort of its members. Natwithstanding the fact that the place is already well fitted up there will be much additional work done. Mr. Arthur Marshall, the president, and his board of officers are loud in saying that they expect to make their club room one of the coziest in the city. NO FOOTBALL GAME TO-DAY The football game between the Y. M. C. A. and the Ga. State College, scheduled for to-day at the fair grounds is postponed until a later day. OFF BOOKING TALENT Manager W. J. Stiles of the Pekin Theater is out of the city this week booking talent for the Pekin. Word comes that he has secured some excellent performers and that the coming weeks at the Pekin will present some of the best vaudeville artists on the stage. RECOGNIZED BY.BIG BANKS The Wage Earners Bank Making History for the Negro. The Wage Earners Savings Bank is recognized by the leading bankers as a stable and well established financial institution. Correspondence is constantly received from the leading bankers of the country soliciting banking-business. Last week the big banking house of J. Pierpont Morgan invited the bank to participate in the half-billion dollar bond issue for the allies of Europe. The Wage Earners Bank is placing the Negro on the financial map in a real helpful way. Again last week a letter was received by this bank from one of the big New York banks extending credit to the patrons of the Wage Earners who visit the country's metropolis. CAPTAIN C. C. WIMBISH DEAD Atlanta, Ga.-Capt. C. C. Wimbish, an old and highly honored citizen of Atlanta, died early Monday morning, October 15th, at his home, corner Ellis and Fort streets, after an illness that lasted only about thirty-six hours. Capt. Wimbish had long been a citizen here, and, in his early life, attended school at Atlanta University with some of the leading Negroes of our state. He has long been identified with every movement for the uplift and betterment 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 class that was known as the "old school" in politics; was a rock-ribbed republican and never failed to defend the principles promulgated by its founders. He has been honored on numerous occasions by the republican voters of the 5th Congressional district; was its chairman for eight years; was elected four times in succession to as many national conventions; was appointed surveyor of customs of the City of Atlanta by President Harrison for four years and when President McKinley took up his duties as chief executive of the nation, he was again honored with the same position and when he checked in early last Monday morning, he was still a faithful employee of the National Government of which he was proud to be called a part. Altho Capt. Wimbish 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 gave 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 added. In his early life, Capt. Wimbish never forgot his Maker, and believing in the Lowly Nazarene, he long ago joined that great army of his followers and connected himself with the First Congregational Church, and when he breathed his last, he was one of the most loyal members. Of a genial 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 his Jesus and rest from his worldly labors, and while he was surrounded by his faithful wife and children, except one son, he turned his ticket to his heavenly conductor, and crossed the great divide from whence no traveler was ever known to return. His funeral was largely attended and the pall bearers were made up of his life-long friends, men who had been with him in many of his hard fought political battles. Capt. Wimbish leaves to mourn his death a faithful and loving wife, three sons and three daughters; a sister, Mrs. Dennis, and numerous relatives throughout the state. R. E. Pharrow. KINDERGARTEN VISIT Friday of last week our, office was stormed by the visit of twenty-nine little kindergarteners of the Congregational Free Kindergarten accompanied by Miss Lucille B. Spencer and Miss Rosa Mae Williams. The little ones were happy and gave us a lusty song. They left with us little tokens of their work. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY OCTOBER 23RD 1915 Will Raise Funds For Four Teachers FOR VACANT ROOMS IN CUYLER ST. SCHOOL Committee Out Getting Pledges For Pay of Teachers. At a meeting at St. Philip Church, Charles street, Thursday noon, a committee of public spirited citizens met to discuss the school situation and to devise some means by which at least a portion of the 1,500 Negro children who were unable to secure accommodation in the public schools of the city might be provided for. About twenty-five were present at the meeting and after outlining the object of the meeting the Rev. Singleton was elected chairman and the Rev. W. Bolivar Davis, vice-chairman. The gravity of the school situation was stressed by all of the speakers and every one was in accord with the movement to lend a helping hand to the solution of the perplexing problem which faces the colored citizens. It is the plan of the committee to raise sufficient funds for supporting teachers in the four rooms at the Cuyler Street school which are not now in use. The committee hopes to raise by pledges and otherwise a sum sufficient to insure the payment of teachers for these rooms for the remaining eight months of the school year and then to ask the board of education to allow the use of these rooms. Pledges to the amount of nearly three hundred dollars were secured from those present at the meeting. A committee of five was appointed to canvass the town and get pledges from individuals, churches, lodges and other organizations. This committee is to report at the next meeting which will be held at St. Philip Church next Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock. It is urgently requested that those who are approached by the canvassing committee will respond readily to this worthy cause. The canvassers are: W. S. Scott, E. C. Blackshear, A. R. Ferebee, A. L. Tucker and J. C. Lindsay. WHITE MEN INDICTED FOR MURDERING NEGROES Gray, Ga., Oct. 20.—The Jones county grand jury in investigating the wholesale lynching of four Negroes here several weeks ago, following the murder of Silas Turner, a white farmer, to-day indicted two white men. On the day following the murder of Turner an aged Negro named Lonzo Green and his son were trying to reach their home at Wayside when they were shot to death. Jim Green and Woodall Green, white, and cousins, were indicted today, charged with the murder of these two Negroes. Woodall Green was arrested by the sheriff and is in jail. The other man has not been located. CARD OF THANKS Mr. Alvin Jackson and Mr. Alvin Miller wish to thank their many friends for the sympathy shown them in the recent illness and subsequent death of Mrs. Elizabeth A. Jackson. AT THE Y. M. C. A. Another one of those interesting "General Discussion" days was spent at the "Y" on last Sunday. The subject for general discussion, "A young man's opportunity," was handled by such speakers as Rev. J. A. Martin, of St. Paul Church, who led the discussion, and such able speakers as Messrs E. W. Sherman, C. R. Peterson, F. D. Tucker and others who followed. It is believed that much good was had out of the general discussion. On account of the religious congress to be held at the Colored County Fair on tomorrow, the regular meeting of the X. M. C. A. will not be held on Sunday Oct 24th. Regular meeting will be held on next Sunday October 31. A good program has been planned.

Urban League Annual Meeting AT LEAGUE'S HEADQUARTERS MONDAY NIGHT Reports of Committees and Election of Officers to Take Place. The local branch of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes will hold its annual meeting at the league's headquarters, St. Augustine hall, West Broad and Gwinnett lane, on Monday night. The meeting which will be called to order promptly at 8:30 o'clock, will doubtless be largely attended as the annual reports of the various committees will be made and the election of officers will take place. During the past year the league has been very active in alleviating much suffering among the poor and in assisting generally the less fortunate who were in need of succor. The membership of the league has been greatly increased during the past twelve months, the enrollment now being in the neighborhood of 200. The public is cordially invited to attend the 11 o'clock service at the First A. B. Church, Franklin square, Rev. T. Jefferson Goodall pastor; at which time the Rev. Dr. C. T. Walker, known as the "Black Spurgeon" will deliver one of his characteristic sermons. It is indeed quite a treat to Savannahians generally, to have another opportunity of hearing Dr. Walker, whose reputation as a pulpit orator is nation wide and even wider. Mrs Grant, the contralto singer, will render "Hold Thou My Hand" in her usual pleasing style, and it is therefore expected that both Miss Grant and Dr. Walker will be greeted by a large and appreciative audience. Special selections will also be rendered by the choir for this occasion. UNION ALLEN CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR LEAGUE The Union Allen Christian Endeavor League met at 4:30 p. m. last Sunday at Galues Chapel A. M. P. Church.

Sherman, Jr., Mr. J. Pinckney, and Mrs. Davis. The president made the closing talk which was well received. The choir, under the leadership of Prof. Ben Reed, rendered sweet music. Rev. G. P. Prescott, the pastor, was present and enlivened the union. Miss Blanche Hamilton read an excellent paper on "Responsibility". The duett by Miss Florence Bemby and Mrs. L. V. Drayton was in keeping and very much enjoyed. Solo by Miss Bell Brown, with her mezzo soprano, captivated the large audience. Duett by little Misses Berta Cook and Ruth McDonald. The mlzpath was sung. Next session Sunday November 21, 4:30 p. m. at Bethel Church. Visitors are welcome. BEACH INSTITUTE NOTES The twelfth grade of Beach Institute has decided to give the play entitled "Sunbonnets." The proceeds are to be used to defray expenses of graduation.

The initial meeting of the Twilight Reapers Aid and Social Club in their new quarters at 626 Bolton street, west, was held last Monday night. After transacting some of the important business the club was surrendered to its ladley, auxiliary, known as the T. R. A. and S. C. branch. The club was befittingly presented with a very handsome plano, a gift from the Branch, by Mrs M. M. Rutledge whose presentation remarks were very inspiring and encouraging. Rev. S. M. Lee very ably responded in behalf of the club in a very, appreciative and inspiring way. Several comments were made upon the neatness and general appearance of the structure.

Beasley, and the many beautiful floral designs given. L. W. Beasley 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 LARKY THEATRE © MCCALL 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. James Reese Europe. New York, September 25. 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." —Youth's Companion. CANN PARK LOTS M. J. JACKSON Real Estate and Investment nah Pharmacy Building 719 W.

There are so many of them that names for them have become scarce. The Greek letters have all been used up, and even the beast of the fields and the fowls of the air have lent their titles to new organizations. Amid them all Masonry rules supreme. In her presence all others stand uncovered. With a history that stretches back to the dawn of unrecorded events, a roll of honorable names and true men; so long that none could live to hear it read; a record of kindly deeds and loving service done that dwarfs into insignificance the claims of those that parade their doings in the lime light, she moves forward, calm and untroubled, accepting the homage that is due her. Making Records. Quite frequently one hears the remark: "The master is trying to make a record." This remark is often made when there is no foundation on which to base the assertion. But there is no denying that some Masters make strenuous efforts to outdo their predecessors in office. If the Master of a Lodge puts forth his best efforts in an endeavor to bring the ritualistic work of his Lodge up to a high standard and "makes a record" in the dispensing of charity and Ma-onic knowledge, he should be commended and given every assistance by the members. On the contrary, if he is simply trying to make a record in conferring degree, or in saving money by pennious methods in conducting his Lodge, he is making a serious mistake.—Chronicleer. --- The quality of a man's Masonry depends very much on his personal character and disposition. Decline of Sectarianism In the olden time one man framed a dogma and declared it to be the eternal truth. Another man did the same thing; then the two began to hate each other with an unholy hatred, each trying to impose his private scheme of the universe upon the other, and that is an epitome of some of the blackest pages of history. Against those old sectarians who substituted intolerance for charity, persecution for friendship, and did not love God because they hated their neighbors. Masonry made perpetual protest in a voice which is now becoming the eloquence of the world. A vast change of heart is now taking place in the religious world, by reason of an exchange of thought and courtesy, and a closer personal touch, and the various sects, so long estranged, are learning to unite upon the things most worth while and the least open to debate. That is to say they are moving toward the Masonic position, and when they arrive Masonry will preside over a scene which she The peculiar excellence of the institution of Masonry does not rest in the display of virtue or external show and grandeur. No! Charity, benevolence, and love, constitute the basis of Freemasonry. Thousands, aye, tens of thousands have witnessed the kindly offices of Masons. The widow and orphans (whose petitions have never been rejected) can also witness, not only in this, but in every quarter of the world, the charity of a Mason. What is Masonry Some will tell you, Masonry is a lot of fellows that meet one or twice a month, initiate members, give oyster suppers and have a good time. They help a pool brother in need, bury him when he dies, and take care of his widow and orphans. They know one another by grips and signs, and always stick together. Well, most of that is true of Masonry in this day, 1912, but if that is all a man gets out of Masonry he would be poorly paid for his time and money spent in joining a lodge. Masonry, my brother, is the oldest institution known to man, whose sole object is to honor and worship God, and to help poor, frail man over the rough places on life's road. The world is indebted to Masonry for the Bible. Do you know that Masonry is more than three thousand years older than the Christian religion, four thousand seven hundred years older than the Baptist, Pre-byterian and Methodist creeds? It was old and gray and had been known to the Eastern world and Islands of the seas long before Columbus discovered America. For nearly five thousand years its tenets have been taught to the children of men so clearly that we find the same ancient landmarks, unaltered, leading men to worship God and love his brother man. You may fail to come up to true Masonic standard, and your lodge may forfeit its charter, yet Masonry will live on its foundation, its Maker and Builder is God. It covers our duty to brother Mason, whether a member in any legally constituted lodge or not; the only question is: Is he worthy? If found worthy you have no choice, but are bound to comply with that obligation as far as you are able without injury to yourself or your family. Now let us analyze this obligation and see if we can claim to be Masons, or only just near Masons. Have we honored God and worshipped Him as we should have done? Have we ever spoken evil of a brother Mason before his face or behind his back or suffered others to do so without trying to stop it? Have we never wronged, cheated, or deprived a brother Mason, his widow and orphans, nor suffered others to do it? Have we always helped, aided and assisted all poor and needy Masons and their loved ones as freely as we would have them help us and ours under like circumstances? If we would fall to keep the obligation, how can we claim to be Masons? There is discord and an uneasy feeling in all our lodges; that element of brotherly love that should mark all of our meetings is conspicuously absent; brethren are careless or indifferent about attending lodge meetings. We have no more confidence in a brother's word or promise than in any other man's. Why is this? The answer is plain. We have betrayed our trust, violated the solemn obligations made on our knees, calling on God to witness while we kiss the Holy Bible in token of our shuerity. Brethren, do you want to see Masonry prosper, the hall crowded at every meeting, while brotherly love fills all our hearts? Then let us live up to our solemn obligations, and see that every brother does the same, or know the reason why. Let us all stop so much worldly greed and be a brother in deed and in truth, remembering we will get out of Masonry just what we put into it. Take the Masonic Hogald and Akin's Manual and study them. And my word for it, you will have a revival of Masonry here that will make the world take notice. Then you will never miss a lodge meeting or a chance to assist a poor brother over the rough places in life's road. This kind of Masonry is worth living. Try it, brethren, and get your money's worth.

Not that the Mason cannot commit errors, but the true Mason will constantly be on his guard against wrong doing. He will repent and reform, and as far as possible, will undo the evil and repair the wrongs which he has committed, and by the experience gained—something bitter—will avoid them in the future.—Masonic Chronicle.

ALAPAHA S. J. A. LODGE ENTERTAINED SUPREME GRAND CHEF --- Alapaha. Ga.—Alapaha Lodge, No. 614, St. Joseph Mid Society, entertained the supreme grand chief, Dr. Thos. H. B. Walker of Jacksonville, Fla., on last week. The exercises in honor of Supreme Grand Chief Walker were in charge of Mr. H. Bryant, grand treasurer of the Eastern Georgia grand lodge division of the society. Mr. Bryant served as master of ceremonies, in a very fitting and pleasing manner. The supreme grand chief preached the sermon which was, indeed, greatly enjoyed by all of the brethren and friends and showed him to be one of the foremost pulpit orators of the race. This service was in the morning. At 7:30 p. m., another meeting was held at the A. M. E. Church, with Bro. Bryant again as master of ceremonies, assisted by Bro. C. T. Rogers. Among those who participated were Mrs. M. Mosely, Mrs. J. H. Johnson, Mrs. Hattie Middleton, Mrs. E. L. Purlow. Dr. Walker's address was strong, appealing and full of wholesome advice. The total collection for the day was $52 and 35 new members were enrolled in the society. S. J. A. NOTES Rev. Thomas H. B.

His patient waiting has been rewarded by the recognition of Gen. Carranza, and the subsequent placing of an embargo on all war munitions to that country except to the General. By this method he hopes to freeze out Villa and the other element that may be antagonist is to Carranza. Will this recognition and method insure peace? Time will at least answer the question. Sentimental America is all joy over the announced engagement of President Wilson. The entire country will rejoice with him in this happy event. When it comes to affairs of a public nature, there should be more push, spirit and ginger in our young men. They should imbibe the spirit of the time and become inclined to take hold of and assist in bringing things to pass for the good of all. They should join heartily every movement for the good of the public. With their youth and strength they can accomplish much. Our people in Boston, this state, are to be commended for looking after the education of their children. The board of education of Thomas county is unable to furnish means for the support of their schools. Rather than allow the schools to close and the children remain mututored, they got together and readily raised the means to hire teachers, and now the children are enjoying "happy school days." This spirit of the people of Boston, Ga., should be transplanted in Savannah. Here we have several thousand children out of school and the excuse of no money is given for the lack of accommodation. While it is bad policy to do so, yet we should do as our neighbors did and raise sufficient means to at least accommodate a small part of these little ones. Despite the moral support of President Wilson, New Jersey overwhelmingly decided against woman suffrage at its election on Tuesday. The women seemed to have been hoodooed by the President's endorsement. At the October meeting of the Board of Education the pay for white teachers was rearranged, thereby benefiting the ones senior in service. This was made to apply to the white teachers only. In the public school system there are a number of old and efficient colored teachers who are deserving of the benefits of this change, and as citizens we feel very keenly the actions of the Board of Education in denying them the benefits of this change. Ex-Governor Slaton has returned to Georgia more than two weeks ago. It caused no stir in the state and the even tenor of affairs is still being observed. In proportion to the populations our people in this city are way behind those in other parts of the state when compared with thrift and home ownership. It is not uncommon to note in these places the very large per cent. of homes owned by our people, and too, they are commodious and modernly built. In homeowning here, we are doing well, but we should do better. Home owning must be the slogan. It is with sincere regret that the death of Mr. G. A. Gregory, editor of the Morning News, is noted. He was connected with the Morning News for more than thirty years. He was a gentleman of affable disposition, and on the race question he was fair, and the News has a record for relentlessness against lynching and other forms of lawlessness. Mr. Gregory was one of the leaders in developing things in the community. It is nauseating to see the word "Negress" in print. The application is made to our women. The word is used by shallow-minded writers who are tinged with more prejudice than good form. President Wilson has proclaimed Thursday November 25, as a national day for thanksgiving. All citizens of this country can truly join in extending thanks to the Giver of all good gifts and graces, for indeed our country, is at peace and a fair amount of prosperity is prevailing. 1. In assuming the mayoralty reigns of the city the Honorable Wallace J. Pierpont becomes head of a city which has, for the most part, given all of its citizens protection and has encouraged all classes of citizens in their peaceful pursuits. The Negroes who form half of the city's population assure Mayor Pierpont their co-operation in all movements that are started for the general good of the community and feel that their interests with those of the other face will be carefully guarded by him. That Mayor Pierpont's administration will be one of much progress is the feeling of every Negro who is striving to make Savannah-one of the foremost commonwealths of the south. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE WEEKLY LETTER By J. C. Lindsay In glancing backward over the splendid accomplishments of a number of the members of the race in this community, and looking forward to their unsurpassed opportunities which are afforded us for making good along many lines, our inmost souls are filled with hope, optimism and encouragement, which push us onward and upward, and causes us to feel after all that right here in Savannah, is a splendid place for us to let our buckets down. The Thinker and Planner The thinker and planner The thinker and planner has always put one over on the plodder, from the days of Isau and Jacob down to the present time. The purpose of the Negro Business League in the furnishing of a weekly letter to the public, as it has for nearly two years, is to throw out hints and suggestions from time to time which we trust will be of some benefit in the way of assisting some young man to make up his mind that he will be a thinker rather than a plodder. Most any ordinary man can do those things some one points out for him to do. So does the ordinary clock or watch keep time with the sun, but unfortunately neither of the latter realizes what it is doing. It simply runs after being wound up until it runs down. The business world today wants men who can think, men with initiative, men who do things now. When the do-it-now fellow starts out in the morning on his job, he begins his day's work with confidence in himself, confidence in the people, and confidence in the business he represents. Thus he says: "And now I start out as a man, To plan my work and work my plan, Each day my work is put to test, And should I fail you know the rest." Negro Emancipation Day After this date, Saturday, October 23rd there are only sixty-eight more days before the great orators of the race will be called upon to tell us in eloquent tones of how our fathers and mothers and grand parents and great-grand parents prayed and hoped for this bright day, that we, their sons, grand-sons and great-grand sons are now enjoying. We feel quite sure that when the officers, of the Emancipation committee's attention is called to the very short time in which we have to select an orator for this great occasion which every loyal Negro holds so dear to his heart, that they will get busy and the public will have no cause to regret that they have intrusted so important a matter in their hands. Same Old Story Told As is well known, the letter furnished weekly by the Negro Business League, does not attempt to deal with any other matter save that which relates strictly to Negro business. Therefore, with us It is the same old story told over and over again. Just here we are reminded of a good story told on a good Baptist divine, which incident happened, so it is said, in the years gone by—and by the way since the writer happens to be a good, old time, deep warter Baptist, he can afford to tell this little amusing story on one who thought as he happens to think. It is said that the pastor In charge had preached his first four sermons and in each of them he repeated the same things. It did not matter what text he would take, he would invariably preach the same thing. The officers held a meeting on the divine and decided to ask him if it was not possible for him to preach something else sometime except deep water baptism? The good minister thought for a while and finally said: "Well, brethren, you say that I have been preaching deep water baptism for four weeks and all of these people have not believed and become converted and baptized, I am going to keep on preaching this thing until they all do." Our Position Illustrated This story is told in detail to illustrate the position of the Negro Business League. The league expects to keep on hammering away at race loyalty, the building up of strong and well paying race enterprises, the supporting of those already launched until the Negroes in this community will consider it a part of their religion to encourage and support every worthy enterprise launched by members of the race, which have for their object and aim the raising of the race's stock in the minds of those who are disposed to think that we do not know what we are doing. Our next meeting will be held at the league's headquarters, Wage Earners bank building, Wednesday evening November 3rd. Come early and bring a friend. Deaths The funeral of Mrs. Louisa C. Beasley, whose death occurred on Friday night of last week, took place on last Monday afternoon from First Bryan Baptist Church, Rev. Daniel Wright officiated. The pall bearers were Messrs Andrew Paterson, R. A. Harper, James Crafton and Robert L. Jones. Mrs. Beasley had been confined to bed only four days, having had a stroke of paralysis on Monday. Her death was a shock to the community for she was well known and had many friends. The large crowds at the church and cemetery were evidences of the high esteem in which she was held by those who knew her. There were many beautiful floral designs given. The deceased was a member of Primrose Court of Calanthe, Past Worthy Counselors Union, Primrose Juvenile, Vestena Court, Golden Leaf Social Club, Dunbar Literary and Social Club and D. T. of Elks.

The deceased was grand past vice ruler of the Golden Circle, division deputy No. 1, vice degree master and ruler of Willing Workers Golden Circle No. 1. He was an agent of the Atlanta Mutual Insurance company. The esteem in which Mr. Freeman was held was attested by the large number that attended the funeral. The entire Atlanta Mutual force joined in paying the last tribute of respect. There were many beautiful floral designs. They came from the Atlanta Mutual Association and societies in which he was affiliated. The members of the Willing Workers Circle No. 1, accompanied by other circles, attended the funeral in a body. Mrs. Ida Denslow Mrs. Ida Den-slow, an old resident of this city, died in Jacksonville, Fla., Friday of last week. The remains were brought to this city, accompanied by her son and daughter. She was a member of Shiloh Bapt. Church Jacksonville, and took an active part in its worship and affairs. Services were held over the remains Sunday afternoon and were attended by a large course of friends. They were conducted by Rev. J. H. Newman. She was also a member of the W. I. U., No. 1, the W.R. C. No.3, and the I. O G S and D. of S. Each of these institutions conducted its ceremonies. The remains were buried from the undertaking establishment of A. M. Monroe & Co., Tuesday afternoon, Rev. J. L. Taylor, officiated. A number of friends were present to pay their last tribute of respect Mrs. Denslow has been living in Jacksonville for about eleven years. She was well known and liked by every one. She leaves to mourn her death, two sons, Messrs. Edmond and Charlie Denslow; one daughter, Miss "Dollie" Denslow, and a brother, Mr. M. B. Branham, and other relatives. Rey. Lewis Tyson Rev. Lewis Tyson died Wednesday in McIntosh county. The funeral takes place Sunday at Brunswick. He was a brother of Dr. C. B. Tyson of this city who was present when he died. The doctor returned to the city yesterday and will leave today for Brunswick to attend the funeral. IN MEMORIAM In sad but loving remembrance of my dear son and brother, Prof. PETER J JOHNSON, Who departed this life seven years ago, October 23rd, 1908. Gone but not forgotten. I often sit and think of you, When I am all alone, For memory is the only friend, That grief can call its own. I kissed my darling when he went away, Not thinking the time had come, That his tides of life were done. There are griefs that cannot be compared; And wounds that cannot be healed. There are sorrows so deep in the human heart, They cannot be half revealed. Peaceful be thy, rest dear son, It is sweet to breathe thy name, In life I love you dearly, In death I do the same. Mrs. Josephine Barnes, Mother, Savannah, Ga. Mrs. Chas. E. Stevens, Sister, Chicago, Ill. In sad but loving memory of our beloved son and wife, JERRY ANDREWS, and EMMA ANDREWS, Who departed this life October 22nd, 1912 and October 24th, 1912. Gone never to be forgotten. May their souls rest in peace. Peaceful be their silent slumber, Peaceful by their grave so low; Thou no more will join our number, Thou no more our sorrows know. Yes again we hope to meet thee, When the days of life have fled; And in heaven with joy to greet thee, Where no farewell tears are shed. James Andrews, Father, husband. Sarah Adams, Daughter, sister.

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- ly” leaves the posstbillty that really I“overybody” is not In the crowd and in 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 Swrrestled rutjlessly with riotous lvin; |= excorlated the “keeping” of wo imen. His language was mercilessly ‘plain and his doctrine unanswerable EAA Ore LE eR SE PIPES RTO Re ae he ME RPE DAY CAT POTS ED, SON AC Fey AEA EAL ETS PBA SR de AR EN st the spotlight the capers of men, making htem directly responsitile for all of the immorality and sin. He sid, “It is preposterous to believe that women are the instigators of im- moral secret alliances with men It is the men whe propose this “evil and women are urged into aequieseence, The preacher tock a hot shot at the Darbers and the habitues of their Wages of busines. We stated that these places are the hot beds of mis. erable methods’ and manners, where women for the most put are the sub- jects at point, und that references to them ie net at all complimentary ; that ‘curing seems to he a part of the program ind the phtyers are uot re- shectors of persons, Minister or lay- mea must listen-or leave.

Many people yonder at the success lof the Jew, stid the preacher, The Jews ure a law abiding people. They ‘hot only for the most part. obey the common Jaw, but the laws of health and the natural laws alse, ‘The most stalwart mankood and womanhood of this generation are found among the Jews. Among them, also, you will tind the greatest productiveness, ‘This, sitid the preacher. is the result of be- ing natural ingdress and otherwire. ‘They furnish a fitting example for Ife along these Hnes. 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. Edward Winfred Sherman When Sailors Wove Petticoats.

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 } gels (not our friends whov have dled) ‘ aro ministering to the redeemed on the j earth, the beirs of salvation (Heb. { 14. I often say to my people and t ‘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.

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." SUNDAY SCHOOL. SUNDAY SCHOOL. 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. Mrs. T. J Goodall, teacher of piano forte and organ playing, 717 West Broad street, phone 4125.

A bank is a place where money is safely kept, but at the very lowest rate of interest. An investment company is an institution which carefully invests the funds of its shareholders and offers the highest amounts of interest. The reasons is, that the bank invests for the perpetuation of the bank, while the investment company divides its yearly profit equally among its shareholders. For the business man, the bank is very convenient, but for the investor, the investment company offers greater inducements. As an investor, you can get no greater inducements than are offered by the COMMONWEALTH LOAN & REALTY COMPANY, which are as follows: an equal amount of dividend resulting from the profits made made on, loans, investments and real estate. From no other angle can this be figured. COMMONWEALTH LOAN AND REALTY COMPANY 509 West Broad Street 5¢ JOHN RUSKIN
