The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXI BOOKER T. WASHINGTON'S REPORT TO TRUSTEES OF TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE 1,537 Students Enrolled From 32 States and 19 Foreign Countries The annual report of Principal Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Ala... to the trustees of the school, was made public this week. It is a very interesting pamphlet and tells of the marked progress made by the institution during the twelve months ending May 31st, last. It calls attention to the fact that all activities of the school were not confined to the school grounds, but that the extension work of the past year played a prominent part in the work. Reference in this connection is made to the tour through the state of Louisiana by the principal in which thousands of people were reached, both white and colored, and appeals made for the progress of the race and a better understanding between the races. The report also tells of the important gatherings at Tuskegee during the year, the Jeannes Fund supervisors; and of the visits of prominent Southern men to the institution. It speaks, too, of the University Commission, composed of a member of each of the state universities of the South, which held meetings at the school. National Negro health week was the result of activities started at Tuskegee and this movement is touched on in the report. The enrollment of the school for last year is shown to have been 1,537. The students came from 32 states and 19 foreign countries. There were 907 boys enrolled and 630 girls. 380 teachers were registered in the summer school. Among the other important things referred to were the Smith-Lever Bill, the Rosenwald schoolhouses, the election of new trustees, etc. Particular attention is called to the new heating plant which is now nearing completion. Under "mi-cellaneous," are mentioned the new $2,000 four roller two-revolution printing press and other gifts. The gifts to the endowment fund for the year amounted to $28,102.09, bringing the permanent endowment fund up to $1,970,214.17. The total receipts from all purposes for the year were $379,704.83. The report concludes by giving the following present and urgent needs: $50 a year for annual scholarship for tuition for one student, the student himself providing for his own board and other personal expenses in labor and cash; $1,200 for permanent scholar; ships; money for operating expenses in any amounts, however small; $2,000 each for four teachers' cottages; $10,000 for a building for religious purposes; $16,000 to complete boys' trades buildings; $50,000 for boys' dormitory; $50,000 for girls' dormitory; an addition to our endowment fund of at least $1,000,000. COLLIER-GILLARD On Thursday at the Butler Presbyterian Church, Dr H. M. Collier and Miss Annie Beatrice Gillard were married. The church was crowded, the ceremony being conducted by the Rev. S. T. Redd. After the wedding reception held in the basement of the church, the wedding ball took place at the Harris Street hall Before a small crowd the team of the Ga. State College defeated the Colored X. M. C. A. Thursday afternoon at the baseball park by a score of 10 to 0. Both teams played a good game, the College boys scoring a touchdown in the first and second quarters. During the first half of the game the College boys found the left side of the X. M. C. A. line weak and before the holes could be plugged up ten points were scored. During the last half of the game the teams played about an even game. A return game between the teams will probably take place during next month. IT'S A BOY! Dr. anr Mrs. Clarence E. Brent announce the birth of a son, Calvin Tucker, Sunday October 24th. Mrs. Brent will be remembered as Miss Anna Tucker. HAPPENINGS AT THE NATIONS CAPITOL Secretary of the Treasurer Issues Warning Against Promoters Of Cotton-Labor Claims Washington, D. C., Oct. 27.—One of the "surprises" hinted at in these columns a few days ago, touching official matters, has come to pass. Pres. Wilson on Monday named James L. Curtis, of New York, as Minister Resident and Consul-General to Liberia. This is the first of the series of surprises that we shall release as timg goes on, but it by no means the greatest that is to come out of the political hopper. Mr. Curtis' selection for this important post gives satisfaction to the colored people of this country, as he is known as a clean man, an able man, and one who will reflect credit upon his race all over the land. He has practiced law successfully for a number of years in New York City and has handled some large deals in finance and real estate. He is an excellent speaker, possesses a pleasing address and stands well with all of the elements that make up cosmopolitan Gotham. He will come to Washington shortly to receive his instructions and to prepare to take hold of the work at Monrovia as speedily as possible. As the post in the West African republic is invariably allotted to a colored man, it is not expected that there will be any composition to his confirmation by any member of the Senate. The nomination of Mr. Curtis is likely to be confirmed at the first executive session of the Senate when Congress meets in December. It is no secret that the Liberian mission was offered to Bishop Alexander Walters, the energetic leader of the colored democracy, but he could not see his way to accept the place. He urged the appointment of Lawyer Curtis and the party magnates concurring, the gifted New Yorker was nominated by the President. Mr. Curtis is a brother of Dr. A. M. Curtis, a well-known surgeon of this city, and formerly the official head of Freedmen's hospital. The colored followers of President Wilson are jubilant over the appointment and regard it as the fore-runner of a series of appointments that are to be handed out to colored men of standing and influence in or out of the democratic party. Another and greater "surprise" is saft to be in the wind. Keep your eye on the White House. The Recorder of Deeds The recognition of Lawyer Curtis brings to the foreground the fact that the office of Recorder of Deeds has been vacant a year and a third. A number of ambitious colored democrats are anxious to fill the shoes once filled by Fredrick Douglass, B. K. Bruce, J. C. Matthews, C. H. J. Taylor, H P Cheatham, John C. Dancy, Henry Lincoln Johnson and James Monroe Trotter, and there are those who think the time is growing ripe for this "plum" to fall into the lap of some worthy member of the race. Bishop Walters has worked early and with the declaration that as the pending suit is against the Secretary of the Treasury, it is a familiar law that a suit of this nature is a suit against the government itself, and the court in which the action is brought is apt to hold that it has no jurisdiction to entertain such case. It is, therefore, more than probable that the case will be dismissed by the court on a preliminary motion. The colored papets should give Secretary McAdoo's plain and timely warning the widest and fullest publicity. He speaks for the best interest of all colored people of the land, and especially for those of the South. Scultor Hathaway Takes a Bride Sculptor Hathaway Takes a Bride Mr. Isaac S. Hathaway, formerly of Kentucky, but living in Washington in recent years, where he has won renown as a sculptor, was married Monday evening to Miss Mary A. Edmonds at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. H. Edmonds, 3434 Rock Creek Church Road.. The wedding was a pretty affair, only a few friends aside from the family witnessing it. Rev. J. Milton Waldron officiated, using the Episcopal service. Miss Hattie Virginia Edmonds, sister of the bride, was bridesmaid, and the groom was attended by Dr. W. L. Board. The bride was given away by her father. Mr. Daniel W. Edmonds, a brother of the bride, was master of ceremonies, assisted by Mr. James L. Marshall, of Howard University. Mrs T. (Continued on Fourth Page) SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY OCTOBER 30TH. 1915 LOCAL URBAN LEAGUE HOLDS AN INSPIRING ANNUAL MEETING LARGE ATTENDANCE SHOWS MARKED INTEREST OF MEMBERS OF ORGANIZATION Will Attempt To Secure Trained Worker Noted Negro Tenor to Appear at St. Paul Church.—Has Sung Before Courts and Crowned Heads of Europe In keeping with the strong line of artists which they brought before the Savannah Music loving public last season, the Allied Charities Committee will open its concert season with Mr. Sidney Woodward, tenor, of Atlanta University, in music recital. Most sweeping and fulsome testimonials to this well-known artist's splendid ability come from the press all over the country where he has been appearing during the last few months. In New York and in Alabama during the present month Mr. Woodward has scored brilliant success. A jubilous apportioning of the popular lighter and sentimental numbers with the soul-reaching classes which make music the greatest of all arts has made Mr. Woodword a much preferred artist. After hearing him sing, Madam Nordica, one of the world's greatest artists, said, "To-day I have heard Mr. Woodward sing. * * * There is nothing beyond his capabilities." The committee having the concert in charge desires the public to show a just appreciation for these high grade concerts to insure a season of the best entertainment by the leading artists of the race. General admission will be 15 cents and the concert which will commence at 8:30 p. m. will be given next Friday night. November 5th at St. Paul Church. COLLEGE DEPARTMENT INCREASE ED—LOSES TO TUSKEGEE 5 to 0 Atlanta, Georgia, October 28th—Atlanta University has met so far two pleasing surprises this year. The first is in the large increase in the college department and the second is in the good showing made by the football team in the first game of the season last Saturday at Tuskegee. There are several new men in the game and for that reason nobody was quite prepared to think that the team could hold Tuskegee to a scoreless game after the first three minutes of play. * When the game opened Atlanta had the ball and before the quarterback could size-up the Tuskegee team he tried a forward pass which was intercepted by a tall forward and was used for a touch down. After that Tuskegee was unable to score. Everybody at Tuskegee says that their team is the fastest they have had in years. It looks as if everybody is going to get his money's worth this year who sees Atlanta University get into the mix-up. Certainly enthusiasm is running high at A. U where they always have a game team whether they win or lose, but this year A. U. is planning to give everybody his money's worth in football. CELEBRATES 2ND ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. Cecil W. Jones celebrated the second year of their marriage very happily at their residence, 2256, 5th avenue, New York City.

Report of President Included Many Recommendations of Vital Interest to the Community. League in Excellent Financial Condition. The annual meeting of the local branch of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes was held last Monday night at the league's headquarters, St. Augustine hall, West Broad and Gwinnett lane. The meeting was one of the most inspiring ever held by this organization and was exceptionally largely attended. The annual reports of most of the various committees of the league were rendered, a few being omitted because of the absence from the city of several of the chairmen. The reports were very complete and gave great inspiration to the members present. They showed that during the past twelve months the league has been very active and much good has been accomplished by it. Scores of sick and helpless persons were given a helping hand, indigent families were prevented from being thrown out into the streets because of lack of rent, medicine was given to the sick and raiment to the needy. The league conducted during the year throughout the city, free stereopoton lectures on tuberculosis. These were given by Dr. W. A. Harris, a member of the league, and many helpful hints as to the best way to avoid contracting the disease were presented to hundreds of Negroes in the slums. The lectures were a source of much benefit and attracted much attention. For the children of the city the league conducted during last May the most successful athletic carnival ever held in this city by Negroes. Over 5,000 persons were offered amusement at this affair and the league's treasury was increased by nearly $300 as a result of this carnival. For the girls clubs an outing was held during the month of September and for the old folks a picnic was given to Cattle Park. National health week was observed here through the Urban League. A 3 night celebration was held in which several of the local Negro doctors and the city health officer, Dr. W. C. Brunner took an active part. At the meeting Monday night the finances of the league were shown to be in excellent condition. A total balance of $491 was left in the treasury after all expenses were paid, the receipts for the year being $542.28. The league's membership increased appreciably during the year, the total membership now being nearly 200. The president's report was one of the most complete documents ever presented to a Negro organization in this city. The entire work of the league was presented in a very comprehensive manner and the large gathering was loud in its praise of his presentation of the activities of the league. Among the many things which he recommended and which were approved by the body, was the securing of trained worker. The league feels that conditions here warrant the employment of such a person and hopes to have one on the field within the next few months. Much interest was manifested in the good work being done by Mrs. Rachel Moore, a member of the league, at the Chatham county industrial farm. This institution has undergone a remarkable transformation since she has taken charge of the work there and the league is exceptionally proud of its work there. The annual election of officers took place on Monday night, all of the old officers being re-elected.

HERNDON OF ATLANTA MUTUAL TENDERED BANQUET BY LOCAL FORCE Evening One of Much Benefit to The Agents and Visitors President A. F. Herndon, of the Atlanta Mutual Insurance Association, was tended a banquet Thursday night by the local agents of the company. The delightful affair was held in the Williams building, and about seventy-five were present, including the agents and guests. One of the local managers of the company, J. C. Lindsay, was master of ceremonies, and during the sumptuous repast that was served he kept the merry crowd in a high state of ectasy. Aside from the responses made by several of the agents, brief talks were made by L. E. Williams, president of the Wage Earners Savings Bank; R. A. Harper, cashier of the same institution; G. H. Bowen, the wide awake real e-state dealer; H. T. Singleton, vice-president of the Georgia Mutual Insurance company; W. S. Scott, president of the Guaranty Mutual Insurance company; and J. H. Butler, of The Tribune. President Herndon's address was the last number on the program. It was one which struck a most responsive chord and sahk hard and fast in the ears of his hearers. He dwelt upon the necessity of looking after the little things, taking care of the small wastes; of putting thought and brain into one's work and of not being afraid to labor long and diligently in whatever was worth doing. He also emphasized the necessity of organization among Negroes saying that it was united efforts of the race, the pooling of the little resources, that would sooner or later redown to the ultimate success of the Negro. President Herndon's talk was listened to intently by his hearers, and much food for thought was dropped by him. The Atlanta Mutual which is now the largest Negro industrial insurance company in the world since it took over last summer the business of the Union Mutual Insurance company, employs about six hundred people and operates in three states. In this city the company has two offices, one under the management of L. L. James and the other under J. C. Lindsay, and gives employment to about forty persons. The local debit is among the largest of that any city where the company operates. President Herndon left yesterday morning for Augusta.

Will Meet In Tennis Game Saturday The Forest City Tennis Club and the tennis club of the Georgia State College will meet Saturday afternoon on the court of the former, 43rd, and Florence streets. An interesting game is premised those who attend the meeting of these two clubs. The games will begin at 3 o'clock. FOR THE FOOTBALL GAME Fur .Trimmed Suits and Frocks. of Serge with Flying Mufflers and Warm Top Coats THE MANDARIN TAM POPULAR New York, October 27. The early days of November with their brisk, crisp winds call up not only Thanksgiving with its feasts and palatable dalties but football and various other out-of-door sports. While, perhaps, the majority of us are not as much given to these out-of-door amusements as we should be for our own good, still we do take an interest where our college or school is concerned and dress for them, and root for them, with fine enthusiasm. For the Football Game A good warm suit or a one-piece serge with top of tweed, boucle, a warm novelty plaid, or other attractive coating is the most satisfactory thing for the game, accompanied by a quantity of good warm rugs for feet and H © MCCALL Plaid Velours de Laine Suit knees. One of the various velvet or fabric tam-o-shanters which are now so popular, will be found convenient and comfortable; warm gloves and high topped boots are necessary. One of the smartest suits seen this year was designed for a young girl or small woman; it was developed in one of the plaid velours de laines, a dark blue ground with an almost invisible bar of dark gold. The suith which was made with a short, flaring circular skirt and one of the chic box coats, was buttoned, banded, cuffed and collared in seal. A tam of velvet in dark blue with a golden tassel completed the costume, which was charming and most becoming. Another frock of dark blue serge, pocketed and pleated was made absolutely without trimming, the only bright bit of contrast being the striped wool muffler with fringed ends, which was wound about the throat. This was in tones of orange and blue, and afforded just the touch of color needed to brighten the dress and render it effective. A huge top coat of curly cloth with collar and cuffs of natural lynx kept the wearer cosy during the huts in the game, and a smart little Mandarin tam of velvet, tipped with a touch of the fur, kept the bright hair from becoming disarranged, in more than a becoming carelessness. These mufflers in wool or crepe de Chine, striped, plain or plaided are one of the old new notions this fall; besides being warm and convenient, they are wonderfully effective if the colors are chosen correctly to harmonize with coat or dress. The Rus-ian blouse collared, cuffed and banded around the bottom with skunk, seal, lynx or fox is a particularly attractive and becoming coat model and one that is well liked by most women and girls. Velours de laine, velveteen, corduroys and broadcloth are among the materials generally favored for this type of coat. Many suits are accompanied by this style of coat, and when trimmed in this way it may serve for a top coat as well, over frocks of various materials. Dark green velours de laine trimmed with skunk is one of the effective combinations seen a great deal. Many of the shorter suit coats are combined with a tunic skirt giving almost the same effect as the tunic coat. The over-kirt, which is circular, pointed front and back, or over the hips, is often banded with fur to match that on the coat. The apron tunic, loose, or of a contrasting material set in like a panel, is another variation of the tunic skirt favored in frocks or soft silks or satins. One particular pretty afternoon dress of dark taffeta has an apron tunic of net, velling a bright, contrasting lining of satin. Contrasting Blouses Perhaps the most pleasing way of introducing the bright bit of color necessary to this season's suits is by means of the contrasting blouse of taffeta or of satin that is almost universal. For instance, a suit of dark © MCCALL Wool Muffler and Mandarin Tam satin finished broadcloths is completed with a rather severe tailored blouse of blue serge, gabardine, or one of the orange satin, or a striped blouse, combining the shade of soft and a brighter tone. A dark blue taffeta blouse, is collared and cuffed with orange; a crepe Georgette costume blouse, in a soft shade of beige, is striped with dark blue taffeta. The effect is harmonious, becoming and generally pleasing. RECORD OF COLORED·PEOPLE TOLD IN A FEW WORDS In a response to a request of a student for "some facts about the colored people that I can tell in a few words", there are brought down below parts of a pamphlet prepared by the Editor of this paper as the "Fifth Anniversary Christmas Greetings to the Colored Children of the United States" (1913). In Wealth: Colored people in the United States own over one billion dollars worth of property. In Education: Just after the Civil war only about ten out of every one hundred colored persons could read and write. Now, seventy in every hundred can do so. In Religion: Thirty-three out of every one hundred colored persons are members of the church. In Literature: We have— Paul Lawrence Dunbar, a poet who was the equal of Robert Burns, the Scotch writer; Alexander Dumas, "The greatest romantic novelist and the most universally read story teller of the world" (International Encyclopedia); Alexander Puschkin, "The greatest poet of Russia," (International Encyclopedia); Phillis Wheatley, early writer of poems. In Sculpture: Edmonia Lewis, who designed "The Death of Cleopatra" and "Abraham Lincoln"; Meta Vaux Warrick, designer of statues showing progress of the Negro. In Painting: Henry O. Tanner. His painting called "Lazarus Rising from the Dead" was bought by the Republic of France. In Drama: Ira Aldrirge, an actor who was decorated by the King of Prussa and given the Cross of Leopold by the Emperor for his splendid acting. "Black Pattil" (Sisseretta Jones) Queen of song; Samuel Coleredge-Taylor, great composer. Remember that the Negro slave songs are the only original music in America. In Military Science: Toussaint L'Overture, soldier, statesman and martyr. He sure to ask your teacher to read for you Wendell Phillip' oration on this great soldier. In Invention: Elijah McCoy has received 28 patients, and Granville T. Woods has invented many improvements for the telegraph and telephone instruments. In Philology: The alphabet used by the Vel people, an African tribe, was invented by Doalu Bukere, a member of the tribe, aareCthew raofos.YLin, wh In Discovery: When Commander Robert E. Peary planted the American flag at the North Pole, a colored man, Matt Henson, stood by his side. In Foreign Mission: Lott Carey was the first great missionary to Africa, going to Liberia before Dr. Livingston did. In Reformation: We have given to the world Dr. Booker T. Washington, a great educational reformer. He has convinced all modern civilized countries that any system of education that does not train the man's hand along with his head and heart is faulty. Dr. Washington is the most famous leader the race has produced. He may be said to be our great constructive leader—a man who builds always. In Statemanship: Frederick Douglass, peerless orator and champion of our race and its rights. The man whose voice helped make the colored people free.

In Business Administration: In the organization and administration of the Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, the largest school of its kind in the world, with its educational, industrial, commercial, banking, manufacturing, engineering, accounting and administrative department and scores of others, it has been proven that colored people can govern and administer any form of business under wise leadership of their own race. There are numbers of other noted persons living—Negroes who stand in the fore-front; but all of them could not be named—Negro Farmer. A REFLECTION By William James Ansley I caught a wasp and I laid him upon the window sill. the window slim, I thought I'd be the victor, if the insect I should kill. I took a stick and I laid it across his helpless form, A thought came to me saying, "Why do the poor creature harm?" I watched him there upon his side, mute in a helpless state. I lifted the stick, said "Go your way free and join your mate." OGDEN MEMORIAL AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE A National Tribute Hampton, Va., October 26.—North and South are joining heartily in raising a fund of $100,000 for "The Robert Curtis Ogden Memorial Auditorium," which will soon be built at Hampton Institute from plans drawn by Ludlow and Peabody, architects, of New York. William Howard Taft, chairman of the Ogden Memorial Committee, which is composed of public spirited men and women representing the best interests of the South and North has issued, through the New York office of the executive secretary, Sydney D. Frissell, the following statement: "It is proposed by many of his friends now to erect a suitable memorial to Mr. Robert C. Odgen, whose services to this country justify a fitting testimonial to a man well called an "unofficial statesman," because of the new and unique character of his work for education in the South. "The Southern Education Board was constituted under his leadership and its work marked a new epoch of national progress. It brought together men and women of the North East South and West who were able to further greatly the education of the South and especially of the white race. "For forty years Mr. Odgen had been a trustee of Hampton Institute and for twenty years the president of its trustees. The record of Mr. Odgen's life work makes it clear that Hampton Institute is the most fitting place for a permanent memorial. There is urgent need there for a large auditorium and already a few of his friends have subscribed one-third of the hundred thousand dollars necessary for the erection of such, a building. This would be particularly suitable, to the memory of Mr. Odgen." Other officials of the Ogden Memorial Committee are: Edwin A. Alderman, Miss Ellen F. Mason, William Jay Schleffelin, and Mrs. John Markoe, vice-chairman; George Foster Peabody, secretary; and Clarence H. Kelsey, 176 Broadway, New York, treasurer. The national character of the committee is shown by the number of states represented—Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Georgia, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. The Ogden Memorial at Hampton Institute will furnish an opportunity to many men and women to show their appreciation of "Mr. Ogden's sagacious leadership and most gracious character which was so instinct with hospitality." BE WHAT YOU ARE If there is a feature that lends colour to the suggestion that a large percentage of our race are ashamed of being born black, it is the increasing racial tendency to ape certain phases of Western civilization We refer more especially to those who seem so dissatisfied with their dark complexion and wooly locks that they indulge in the practice of "bleaching skin and straightening hair". It may be argued with some truth that these habits are in the main confined to pitiful members of the race who have not yet reached that stage of enlightenment that enables them to see the utter absurdity of trying to be what they are not. We grant this and are prepared to go even further and admit that there are certain human weaknesses to which flesh is heir, that the teachings of generations have failed to eliminate. By why do we not see the same energy displayed by this class in copying other leaves from the same bood. There are qualities of the other man far more worthy of emulation than his curly locks and white skin. It may be that he can teach us little or nothing in the way of Christianity. But would it not be wiser for more of us to imitate him in business methods—his adherence to system, organization, service, punctuality, living within income. All these are essential factors, contributing more substantial and lasting results than can ever be achieved from the mere possession of straightend hair and a light hue. It is not that the Negro in part has not the qualities which we suggest he should copy, but there is need for more of us to seek them. They will elevate the race to a height where it would attract and deserve more consideration. Then we would stand for something—as an integral part of the whole, instead of being looke dupon as we are to-day—a firmament of darkness with a brilliant star shooting out here and there. True it is that the stars are increasing in number, but if more of us would seek the substance and leave the shadows alone, the lustre would be more radiant and wide-spread. No one disputes the right of another to improve his or her appearance in a manner which to either seems fit, even though the method is ridiculous in the sight of others, but it would be well for us to hear in mind that we are what we are. If a Negro you are born, a Negro you must remain. But you are a man for all that. Take a broader view of life, and interest in all that concerns the world, and you will find not only success, but possibly peace and happiness. It is not the wool and skin that counts. It is efficiency, courage, patience, character and all the other attributes that make perfect manhood. —New Jersey Informer.

THE EGGS ARE STRICTLY FRESH. ELGIN BUTTER FLORIDA ORANGES THE GROCER SAID THE EGGS WERE STRICTLY FRESH, DIDN'T HE, MAMMA? YES, MY DEAR. WOW OH, HSE ARE THE EGGS I'M GOING TO SEE IF THEY ARE ALL FRESH. SOAP MAMMA, NOT ONE OF THOSE EGGS WERE BAD. COME OUT AND SEE. OH, MERCY! DOROTHY, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? WOW I have heard and read a great deal about brotherhood, but I have seen very little of it. That things are not as they ought to be is because we have not yet comprehended the meaning of the word "brother." What we need to-day more than expansion of knowledge, commerce, missionary work, is the expansion of the word affection. One word we need today more than any other is the word "brother." Narrowness still is the beetting sin of the church. We are weighed down, kept down, by dogma. We dub this man Protestant, that man Catholic, and that man Jew, until we fail to recognize in him a son of God and a "brother" of our own. We do a great deal of preaching of the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God, but we see little of it. I am glad to be able to say that there is one body of men where this broaden spirit is found, the fraternity of Masons. "There, upon a common platform, all men are accepted, greeted and treated as brethren." Rabbi Joseph Krauskopf. Many Lodges will Elect New Masters This Month Will the brothren kindly take an old Mason's advice? I have been a close student of Masonry for 58 years, yet I do not think I know it all. But I do know that the choice of a Master has more to do with the properity of a community than all other things combined. The office of Master is one to be desired by every man who is found worthy of being admitted among us. Yet but few men make a good, competent Master. And we should be very careful in his selection. A master should be one above reproach among men and Masons. One who can preside with ease and dignity, and command the respect of the craft. A man given to hospitality, not slothful in business, forward in all good works in his community. A Master must be a Man. Worldly wealth and honors should cut no ice in the choice of selection a Master. Personal preference or friendship should not weigh in the balance. Only this, is he competent; will his election as Master advance the cause of Masonry? You can't honor a brother by electing him as Master. He must honor the office. Oftentimes have I seen the cause of Masonry hurt by electing the wrong man Master by over zealous friends or political trickery. Now, brothers, let us one time try to elect the right man Master in every lodge.—Selected. Worthy and Well Qualified Among the prerequisite qualifications for admission into Masonry there is none more important than that a candidate should be worthy and well quali- fied. He is so declared to be by the Stewards at the door of the lodge before he is permitted to enter. In his passage through the several degrees the question is often asked, "Is he worthy and well qualified?" and it is always answered in the affirmative. When he first stands before the altar of Masonry it is asserted that we receive none knowingly into our ranks who are not moral and upright before God and of good repute before the world, and this point is emphasized in all lectures and charges of the work. It would seem almost impossible, with such an examination and safeguards at the entrance of Masonry, that any who are not worthy and well qualified could gain admission. So it would be if the letter and spirit of these were observed and carried out. If the moral and mental qualifications of a candidate were scrutinized as closely as his physical ones always are; if the heart and head were subjected to the same test as the hands and feet, there would be less chance for a bad man to cross the threshold of a lodge. Physically it is required that a candidate must be able to comply literally with all ceremonies of Masonry, and mentally he should be able to comprehend and comply with the obligations he assumes, and to display in his life the tenets of his profession and to practice the cardinal virtues of Masonry. The weak point in this examination of the fitness of candidates to become Masons, we apprehend, is that it is too often regarded more as a matter of form than of real inquiry. Committees on character are too often derelict in their duty. They, perhaps, have a slight acquaintance with the candidate, and as his general reputation in the community is fair, they without further investigation, take it for granted that he is all right, and report favorably. The lodge is poor and needs the initiation fee, and the work is needed to keep up an interest by bringing the members out to lodge meetings. A Mason is thus often made, hoping that no harm will result from his admission, when the better judgment of many of the brethren told them that the lodge would be better off without him. Such mistakes have proved fatal to many lodges whose charters now repose in the archives of the Grand Lodge. When a candidate is said to be worthy and well qualified it should not only mean that there is nothing special against him, but that there is something in his favor which recommends him as worthy to become a Mason.—Masonic Advocate.

Saturday October 30th, 1915 When it comes to brazen audacity and a total disregard of the feeling. of others, we know of nothing which smacks more of the same than the re- cent action on the part of the manage- ment of the Star Theatre, a photo play- house patronized exclusively by mem- hers of our race, and some of the most intelligent and most influential at that, jn presenting to one of the largest au- diences of the present season such a play as the one captioned “Under South” em Skies.” This play, the purpose of which is, not altogether unlike the ne- farious Clansmun of Thomas Dixon mould, to stamp the Negro, as per his consanguinity, with the imprint of in- ferlority ‘and a primitiveness that sav- ors of that which is well-nigh savag- bry, was presented to a Negro audiente of intelligence, without even an excuse or explanation on the part of the man- agement of the photo-play house. And why? Is it because Negroes as ‘icattle driven before the shearers” have no yoice nor initiative as to what should be and should not be so far as they are concerned? And, granted that the foregoing is true, does it mean that this wholesale disregard of the rights and feelings of Negroes is ex- tending itself to agencies and institu- tions the coffers of which grow fat and hearty from his patronage? If this is true of the Negro, we pause in :maze- iment to se¢k information as to whether the same may be said of any other race. As we run the whole gamut of the human family, we-fail to find any people who would tolerate for 2 mo- ment such an exhibition of indifference to their higher sense and feelings by one the doors of whose place of business are kept open by them, ‘The time has come when the Negro, like the Jew, the Greek, the Italian, the Irish, the German and their like, must resent most forcibly and collectively any at- tempt te reflect upon them as a_ race. Pride of race on the part of the Negru must sain strength among us if we ure to stop those who are inclined to of- fer uy insult. There is a great deal we can do along this line if we but pull together as others do and refuse to support those agencies or enterprises whe sive vo thought 2s to or sensi- Dilities or feelings. There ard those of Us whe saw “Under Southern Skies” for the first and last time. There are) these of us who fail to countenance such presentations fe eur people ay “Under Southern Skies.” We trust that the forexoing will serve as a gentle reminder to ‘the management of the photo-play heuse and all others who may reason that they can give to Ne- grees anything for” their money and satisfy them too, that there are many of ns now and amotig us who think, Jes, think deeply too, ~ In another column of The Tribune is inserted 2 communication that was published in the Augusta Chronicle by Capt. Judson W. Lyons, for the rec- ognition of colored troops in this state. The article is timely, and the legis- lature should act accordingly. Until 1905, Georgia has had its well organ. ized colored troops, but for prejudicial redsons they were disbanded by a legislative enactment.

Lindsay ‘ big word “reciprocity”, which is com- monly used to convey the idea of “give and’ take” found its orlgin in the teachings of the meek and lowly Naza- rene who went about in the world teaching the people by example rather than by cold receipt, that “me you would that men do unto you, do you ever also unto them.” This import- ant lesson which wag given to the world in such simple language, nearly two thousand years ago, and which hag stool the test of the so called higher critics, has shown its worth and mag- ‘netism in every business and profes- ston where the proprietor, owner or manager has allowed Its spirit to pre- dominate. ~ Selfishness Hinders Progress Negro business and professional men can ill afford to allow themselves to possess the spirit of selfishness. The broad guaged, big hearted, congenial fellow in business who fs willing to lend a helping hand to the various worthy causes which may demand a small. share of his time, influence and means will invariably find that the people in turn will remember him and the in- terests which he represents. It seems to be one of the inexorable laws of high heaven, that “that whatsoever a ‘than soweth, that shall he also reap.” ‘The man who sows g00d seed will reap ‘an abundant harvest. The man who ‘plans and works unselfishly for the Rood of others will not lose his reward. The poor little fellow who worries himself down over the night mare that ‘some Negro concern is going to get rich off of what he fs doing for it, is next in meanness to the other little fellow | who Is always complaining and erying, hecause everyone in the community doet not feel disposed to join in with him in his whims and whins and in his general complaints which he reg- isters against everyhedy and every-, thing, simply beeanse every body and every thins cannot sutscribe to his mode of thinking and his way of do- ing business, This poor, little, un- fortunate, restless creature is found in every community. He spends many a sleepless night losing enersy. vitality and needed rest in fruitless offorts and plans to step the great and mizhty wheels of his neizhbors’ progress, which. wheels are being turned for the benefit and uplift gf kundreds of members of the race who are giving unstinted sup- port to every enterprise brouzht into existence by Negro brain and money. An Opportunity for Serviee « The knowing ones among us who have, given the matter much thought and consideration, tell us that there ares hetween fifteen hundred and two! thousand unfortunate Negro boys and girls who, for the lack of space in the Negro public schools of this city, are forced to roam the streets. which ! means figuring down to the last an- alysis, that these boys and girls are receiving their first lessons in hardened criminality, which the en- forced idleness brought upon them through the fact that they have no schools where they may go to he taught lessons of usefulness, thrift and eco- nomy so that they may become useful and profitable citizens, both to their state and community. Many of these boys and girls who are forced out of school becauxe of these baneful condi- tons about which we have just spoken, would grow up and become preachers doctors, business men, teachers, house- Keepers and the like, provided somé charitable hand touch them now, while they are in thelr formative period. An Appeal for Help In The Savannah Tribune of last week, this matter was plainly put be- fore the public, with the hope that those who might feel disposed, would have an opportunity of doing some- thing for these’ unfortunate children in the way of providing them with at least four paid teachers, who, we trust, the board of education will allow to occupy the furnished rooms which are now yacant in the Cuyler Street school. The interested citizens have held sever- al meetings and are now working day and night to raise a suffictent amount of cash so that the teachers, who ever they may be, will be assured of what ever amount they are promised for services rendered. |fons, ang “will. continue to be cusked unt tine shall be swallowed up into stainitn. But the ‘question: up"tor sets tleméht by the Negro business and pro- feckithal men in this community’ fs, whiitinre the parents and guardians of these unfortunate children who are deprived of an opportunity ‘to ‘be en- rolled*in the city public schools, do- ing for me? Let us see if we can answer this-question. Who keep ‘the: Negro-doctors riding In. their fine auto- mobiles? Who are they that give un- stinted support to the three Negro banks in this elty? Who-is it that turns aver to the six Negro industrial insurance companies four thousard dol- jars. per week, which enables them to give employment to one hundred and fifty-three men and women, boys and: girls ofthis city? Who is it that sup- port the churches, stores, and,-in fact, everything else which looks to Negroes. for support? They are none other than those who are flippantly dubbed as the common people. Therefore, let every business and professional man seg to it that his name go down on rec- ord as a helper in this great cause which means so much to the future men and women of the race, The Negro business men in this com- munity are going to keep a sharp eye upon the record.

There has recently been considerable discussion in the newspapers of the race concerning the need of a textbook on Negro history. A careful examination of the Negro Year Book shows that this work meets this need. In its 450 pages one finds in a succinct, comprehensive form not only the important facts of the history of the Negro, but also a great mass of detail facts concerning present conditions and the progress of the race. A remarkable thing about the Negro Year Book is its low price, $5 cents per copy postpaid. Publications of this order and number of pages usually sell at from $1.50 to $3 per copy. A number of schools are already using the Negro Year Book in connection with their history, economic and sociology courses. Among these are the Tuskegee Institute, the Hampton Institute, the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute and the University of Chicago. In the reviews of the current edition by the press of the country the value of the Negro Year Book as a compendium of Negro history and of facts relating to present conditions of the race is widely commended upon. The Herald of Rochester, N. Y., says: "It is about as interesting a compilation concerning the colored race as one is likely to meet in a long library journey. If there is anything omitted concerning the Negro we cannot imagine what it is, and what it does contain furnishes a succession of surprises as one turns its pages. It is a volume which should be in every working library, since it is a mine of information which could hardly be found elsewhere." A review in the "Presbyterian Advance" of Nashville, Tenn., makes this comment: "Year books, though valuable, are frequently tiresome. Here is an exception. It is believed that most persons anxious to absorb all the information possible on all subjects would hesitate to put it aside before reaching the final page. The writer of this note, a native white citizen of the South, has devoted some attention to the study of the American Negro; so, while somewhat qualified to state that the book has not overstated the facts; he admits that his information is meager compared with what this annual encyclopedia holds." The "Boston Christian Science Monitor" says: "The compilation of facts within its covers is useful, for besides current statistics of the economic achievements of racial growth of the once subject people, the book includes more or less material that a historian would find valuable. Little has been omitted that may enlighten contemporary or future investigators. To crown all there is a bibliography of literature about the Negro race in the United States and books written by Negroes, which is so complete that it will probably become a standard." "It covers," says the Buffalo (N. Y.) Evening News, "the achievements, the industries and activities and the interests of the Negro race in the United States. Nothing of any moment escapes the diligence of the editor and everything published appears in the most admirable shape for citation and dot reading. It is a remarkably fine instance of bookmaking in an attractive form; and it is worthy of the very highest praise or compilation and works that is given." "It is a very valuable volume," remarks the Dallas (Tex.) Baptist Standard. "It needs to be in the hands of every one who is disposed to question the ability of the Negroes to do things worth while or who is interested in their development. Almost every conceivable phase of the economic, political, social, religious and educational life and activity of the Negro is discussed." Says the Syracuse (N. X.) Post Standard: "If those who believed, as Carlyle did, that the black man would always need a master could have foreseen the publication in 1914 of such figures as the Negro Year Book contains all but the most stubborn would have been convinced" The Negro Year Book circulates very widely, not only in this country but throughout the world. Where there are persons interested in the Negro who wish to secure reliable, comprehensive facts concerning him, they consult the Negro Year Book. It has become the standard authority on matters pertaining to the race. Every Negro home should possess a copy of this valuable work. The facts-contained in it should be taught in every Negro school.

Judson W. Lyons, the Leading Negro Attorney, Recites the Part He Says The Negro has Played, and Asks Georgia to Raise the Band on Negro Military Companies. Sir: The colored people are so intimately identified with the history and development of America that it is difficult to think of it without thinking of them. They Assisted Columbus in discovering the new world—numbers of them did—both as men before mast and officers of his ships. They contributed by their labor the means to acquire that portion obtained by purchase and then, their ready response to every care of the nation to defend the flag even before they were emancipated makes them full participants in the glory of all that has come in by conquest. The splendid deeds of valor displayed by them in the revolutionary war has been the theme of orators and historians for one hundred and thirty years. Not only did they stand bravely upon many a bloody field, shedding their quota for the cause championed by the colonist, but when the starving and freezing armies of General Washington had nearly reached their limit because of the lack of credit and an exhausted treasury, these same black men resurrected their buried change and freely gave it to the cause to the end, that the struggle for liberty might not fail. No warmer and higher praise could be given men anywhere than those gloring words of General Jack-on for the indispensable aid rendered him by the colored volunteers in the battle of New Orleans in the war of 1812. It is needless to repeat the brilliant words of Henry W. Grady describing their fidelity and faithfulness to trust in the South during the Civil war and then when enlisted in the army manly and soldier like behaviour. Nor would I repeat the history of the late war with Spain, where all unite in saying the mightiest deeds of all were performed by the black troopers. But enough by way of preface. The point I wish to make is now in order. The United States is not in war, although perilously near it on three or four occasions within the last eight months, so near that a nation wide movement has been inaugurated to become efficient and be prepared. To accentuate and emphasize the necessity of being prepared the mighty captains of industry, bankers, brokers, railroad magnates, lawyers and merchants have quit for a season their money making projects and gone to camps, to learn the manual of arms, to drill, to dig trenches and take care of themselves in the hour of trouble they will really have to do these things in beating back the invader and defending the country. Not only but these better informed citizens have given this as a token—an example to their fellow countrymen who love the flag and their native Land. The President has endorsed and admired, so the press tells us, recommendations the movement and will asked to have a million prepared men in the next few years, or such matter. The colored man in the event of war will be called upon to do his part as heretofore and he will willingly respond. But should he not have a chance to learn the duties of a soldier beforehand just as others are doing? Brave, as he has always shown himself to be, he will be more efficient and useful by the present course of training, which will make him prepared. The general assembly of the state will soon meet in extra session to look after extraordinary measures, and as the most paramount and extra ordinary subject that can engage the attention of the country is the preservation and defense of the land. I most respectfully suggest the importance of the legislature repealing the act which was passed some years ago prohibiting colored military companies in this state Georgia has the largest colored population than any of the states; many more than a million; and should the nation become involved in such a conflict as all of Europe now hends before, probably seventy-five or a hundred thousand and of these would be called to arms. Thence, the imperative necessity of training them; not then, but now. Judson W. Lyons. in the Augusta Chronicle. Borrowed Implements. "Say, Subbubs, I understand you have Neighbor Wombat's rake."

In addition to giving him this responsible position, the officers of the company presented him with a gold watch as a token of appreciation for his long and faithful service with them. 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." "Delightful" 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." When Sailors Wove Petticoats. Very few people realize that there was a day when petticoats were worn by soldiers and sailors on board ships of war. In the days before the royal marines were regularly established as a separate corps the foot regiments of the line used to take it in turns to serve as marines on shipboard. Petticoats were quite commonly worn in the navy in Nelson's time, having been in vogue there since the days of Queen Elizabeth, and the soldiers, being suddenly called upon to do the work of sailors, naturally adopted their dress, finding it no doubt far handier and more convenient than their own tight fitting, frogged and braided uniforms—London Mail. By Experience. "Have you learned anything in the way of business during your four years' loaf at college?" demanded the pater. "Sure!" said Reginald. "I can write the dandiest line of dunning letters you ever saw." "Humph!" ejaculated the pater. "Who taught you that?" St. George and St. Peter. Besides being the patron saint of England St. George is also patron of Moscow, on whose arms there figures the picture of the saint slaying the dragon. A famous Russian military decoration—the Order of St. George—which was founded by Catherine the second—also commemorates the saint in Russia. It may incidentally be pointed out that while St. George was adopted as the "military protector" of England early in the thirteenth century the patron of England had for five centuries previously been St. Peter, which helps to explain why more churches have in England been dedicated to that saint than to any other.—London Mirror.

SUNDAY SCHOOL. Text of the Lesson, II Kings xi, 4-12. Memory Veres, 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, Jehoshaphat, 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;ix, 2.) See also II Chron. xx, 35. Jehoshaphat 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. xxl, 5; xxl, 15; xvill, 20). All his sons were slain except the youngest, Ahaziah, 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. xxli, 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; xl, 1, margin). The sister of Ahzziah, who was the wife of Jebolada 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 Athallah reigned over the land, and what a reign it must have been! (II Kings xl, 2, 3; II Chron. xxll, 10-12) But in due time deliverance always comes, and in the seventh year Jebolada 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. xxiii, 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 Athallah 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 Zion" (Iss. ii, 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. viii, 18). Jebolada arranged all in their places, with instructions to those with weapons to compass the king roundabout, and he 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). Jebolada 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, xxxil, 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 but one year older when he began to reign (II Kings xxil, 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. il, 1, 2, 11), but we is still waiting for His kingdom. Joash was wonderfully preserved that the word of the Lord concerning David and his kingdom might not fall, 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. Dosa all kind of, high grade dental work of the best quality and workmanship. Gold crowns and bridge work.

CHURCH ‘The attendanre at church on Sun- day was excellent, especially at night when the seating capacity was taxed. ‘fhe Sunday school services were con- hucted by Rer. Green. There was bap- tism at the close of the morning ser- ice. The communion was very im- pressively>celebrated. Many visitors were preci as night the honored suests of the h were the Georgia Home Boys. They were heartilly wel- comed by Rev. Wright. He read for the Jesson the 23rd Psalm. In a few words he asked Pres, R. R. Wright to introduce Rev. C. T. Walker of Au- gosta, who would preach. Rey Walk. cr’s text was from Philippians 1:6, sub- ject, “Christian Perseverance” He preached @ most powerful and {nstruc- tive sermon. It shall long be remem- vered. The church was delighted tc nave him in our midst and felt bighly honored. A sweet solo was sung by Miss Fmma Swanzin. The exercises of the B. ¥. P.

By special privilege granted lately by Pope Bene- dict XV, all priests in the world may say three masses on All Souly’ day. ‘The month of November is called al so the month of the Poor Souls because during this month special prayers are sald every day for the souls of the de- yarted who may still be detained in Pursaitury. It's the belief of the Cath- olic Church and of eyery one of its members that there is in the other world beside heaven and hell a middle ple which we cull Purgatory. The Jews uniler the Old Law held to this Belief and accordingly Judas Matha- heus sent 12,00) silver drachmas te Jerusalem to procure the offering of prayers and sacrifice for the dead. Under the New Law Jesus Christ points to such a place in St Matt. V, 26, XIT #2. St. Paul also writes about it in his Epistle to the Cor., IIT 12-15, In the second century Fertulljan mentions that the “Christians of his day held a yearly commemoration of the dead. Pope John XVI enjoined the feast of AN Souls’ day upon the whole christian World. Next Friday the blessed seers ment willshe exposed publicly to the worship of the faithful from 7 a. m. to G p.m, followed by benediction, During the Octave of All Saints’ day the masses will he offered up for the repase of the souls whose names are called out from the altar on All Souls’ day.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Lesson vi—Fourth Quarter, For Nov. 7, 1915. . | Among the many things I do not yet know there is this-why we should Imow the names or some mothers and not know the name of David's mother and some others, Both in our lessor chapter and in Chronicles we are told ‘that the mother of Joash was Zibfah jo Beersheba. Now, the meaning of Beersheba is “the well of the oath” and always suggests the faithfulness of God (Gen. xxi, 31, margin). It was ‘at Beersheba that Abrabam dwelt [when he went to Mriah with Iiaac to offer him up, and to that home he brought him back as allve from the dead (Gen. xxii, 1-19). So I am re- minded that all blessing depends upon the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. It was a good thing for Joash that he had such a friend as Je- hoiada the priest,, who must have been a remarkable man in many ways, liv- ing to be 130 years of age, so he must have been 100 or nearly so when he caused Joash to be proclaimed king, just about 100 years -after the death of Solomon. Joash did right in the sight of the Lora as ‘long as he had Jebolada for counselor, but the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in high places (verses 2, 3; I Chron. xxiv, 2, 3).> We cannot think of Israel (whether the ten tribes or the two or the twelve) being right with God apart from a right re- lation to the tabernacle or temple, for those buildings stood’ for God In their midst (Ex. xxv, 8; I Rings vi, 12, 13). So we read that Joash was minded to repair the house of the Lord, which Athaliah, that wicked woman, bad broken up (II Chron, xxiv, 4, 7). The great fact about the Lord Jesus, the true tabernacle and temple, was that He was God manifest in the flesh, God was in Christ. The chureb, the body of Christ now being builded, is wholly for God. Each individual believer is a temple and should be wholly for Goil, The repairs which Joash desired to make, Ike aM work today, needed funds, and be thought of the taber- nacle of Moses and of the willing of- ferings (II Chron. xxiv, 6), but he did not seem to remember that these will- ing offerings were brought in, not sent jtor. He sent the priests and Levites ont to gather the necessary money, but the plan did not work, for after twen- ‘ty-three years the funds had not been gathered and the repairs rot made (verses 48; II Chron. xxiv, 5-7). Then /Jehoiada the priest, the king agreeing, ‘put a chest, with a hole in the lid of ‘ft, beside the altar as one cometh into ‘the house of the Lord, and a proclama- tion was made through Judah and Jerusilem to bring in to the Lord the offering that Moses, the servant of God, had commanded Israel in the wil- derness, Then the princes and the People rejoiced and brought in day by day, and thus money was gathered in abundance (verses 7-10; I1 Chron. xxiv, 8-11). Notice that the chest to receive the offerings was placed beside the altar of burnt offering, the brazen altar, on which the lambs were offered morning and evening, typical of Golgotha and the one great sacrifice offered once for all, The one constraining motive in all offerings to the Lord must be the | love of Christ, the Son of God, who loved the church and gave Himself for it; who loved me and give Himself for'me: no duty about it, but just love constraining. Then notice that there was no further effort to raise the mon- ey—nq personal appeals, no solfelting from individuals, but all was brought in joyfully and willingly. Note care- folly Ex. xxxv, 21, 29; I Chron. xxix. 9, 17, and lay it to heart. On this prin- ciple I have received for home and for- elgn missions in the last twenty-five and a half years (up to July 1, 1914) over $756,000 and in the same way have seen for thirty-four years all cur- rent expenses of a congregation easily met. *The Lord God of Israel still liveth and is ready toshold ‘strongly with hearts that are whole toward Him as it 1g.written in 1 Chron, xvi, 9, margin. ‘The money was given to the overseers of thé work, and they Inid it out to the carpenters and builders that wrought upon the house of the Lord, but no reckoning was kept with the men to whom the money was given, for they dealt faithfully (verses 11-15; II Chron. xxiv, 12-14). This method of handling money could uot be safely carried on in our day unless we could find some workmen as faithfully honest. There are such, but they are like whole hearted Christlans—few ‘and “far be- tween—or in very small bunches here and there. We would all do well to keep in mind the day when every one of us shall give account of himself to God. Rom. xiv, 12) and live now 2c- cordingly.
