The Savannah Tribune. URBAN LEAGUE PUBLIC MEETING TO- MORROW AFTERNOON AT 4 O'CLOCK RABBI SOLOMON OF MICKVE ISRAEL SYNAGOGUE TO DELIVER PRINCIPAL ADDRESS VOLUME XXXI At The Pekin Theater Prof. J. G. Lemon will Tell of the Accomplishments of the League —Choral Society of Urban League's Boys' Club will Make Initial Appearance—J. C. Lindsay will Act as Master of Ceremonies. On tomorrow, Sunday, afternoon at 4 o'clock a public meeting for "sweet charity" will be held at the Pekin theatre under the auspices of the local branch of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. The meeting which is a sort of booster for this league which has accomplished so much for the Negroes of Savannah, will, no doubt, be attended by a large and enthusiastic crowd. The principal address of the afternoon will be delivered by Rabbi Geo. Solomon of Mickve Israel Sysagogue. Rabbi Solomon is one of the most interesting and fluent speakers in this city and his discussions are always listened to with much delight. Prof. J. Garfield Lemon, of the Ga. State College and one of the best informed members of the race in this city on social service work, will tell of the accomplishments of the league since its organization three years ago. One of the main features of the meeting will be the music in which the choral society of the boys' club of the league will make its initial appearance. Another delightful musical number will be the double quartette, which will be rendered by pupils of the Cuyler street school, and also the female quartette. The master of ceremonies will be J. C. Lindsay, a member of the executive committee of the league. A special effort will be made at the meeting, to which, of course, there will be no admission fee, to secure subscriptions to the league's Christmas and Charity fund. This fund has already passed the hundred dollar mark and it it hoped that those at the meeting who have not already subscribed to it will do so. The programme to be rendered is as follows: Chorus, "Throw out the Life Line", Boys' Club Urban League. Invocation, Rev. N.-M. Clarke, D. D. Quartette, "Rise, Shine for the Light has come," Mesdames A. O. Orner, Willie Hooker, Misses S. O. Lee and Bertha Lee. Address, "The Urban, League its Accomplishments and Aim, Prof. J. G. Lemon.

W. L. Cash. URBAN LEAGUE DISTRICT LEADERS AT WORK In order to more efficiently carry out the work of the Urban League in securing the names and addresses of the more worthy people who are to be the recipients of Christmas donations, the city has been divided into districts and leaders for each district selected. These leaders held an enthusiastic meeting at the league's headquarters last week and organized for the work. These leaders are Miss Ada L. Scott, Miss Bessie E. Foster, Mrs. Frances A. Morchison, Mrs. Josephine Singleton, Mrs. R. A. G. Taylor, Miss C. Emma Lewis, Mrs. Henrietta Deas, Mrs. Geo. S. Williams, Mrs. M. E. Tolbert, Mrs. M. E. Sherman, Mrs. Laura Fields, Mrs. A. E. Orner, Mrs. L. A. Newton. Each of the ladies will have assistants. A meeting of these adles and their assistants will be held Wednesday afternoon December 15, at 5:30 o'clock at the headquarters, at which time progress in the work will be reported as well as the amount collected on the Christmas and Charity fund. The School Question Attracting Much Attention. Washington, D. C., Dec. G-The expected has happened. As predicted in these columns months ago, the district commissioners have recommended, in their very comprehensive report to Congress, radical changes in the public school system for this community. There is a general belief that the changes will be made substantially as advocated by the city's administrators, for the reason that the people are sick and tired of the perpetual racket that has been occasioned by the clashes in the schools of both races, and especially is the dintasteful to the colored people, for it appears that it is the colored schools that the storm center is usually located. It may be that we think the latter true, because we are nearer to the Negro center of confusion than to that of the whites—and it may be that they carry on their domestic battles with less fuss and feathers than is characteristic of us. In any event, the people want peace, and it must be had, even if the price is found to be a little steep. Little can be lost in the long run, for almost any kind of change is considered better than the chaos that has become a strench in the nostrils of the friends of civil righteousness and educational progress. Fair play and a restoration of the merit system is wanted, and it has been acknowledged that only thru a change of system and a change of administrators could this be secured. If the commissioners have their way, the District has a chance to get what it has long wanted. The report of the commissioners, among other things, urges that the present board of education of nine be dissolved and that a new board of five members be named by the commissioners, with such powers as the commissioners may prescribe. All appointments, promotions, dismissals, etc., are to be made by the commissioners, and not by the board, as formerly. The office of superintendent of schools is to be abolished and a director of education is to take over the function of looking after the scholastic end, with a salary of $6,000 per annum. Two assistant superintendents are provided for at a salary of $4,000-per annum, an increase of $1,400. One of these, of course will be colored. Who? Nobody can guess, but it is safe to say it will not be the "present incumbrance" The effect of a reduced board on its colored membership remains to be seen. In the present crisis, the main thing is to get a "square deal". It the colored people lose anything in the way of representation under the new system, they have only them-scres to blame. It is believed that the commissioners will give our people fair play all along the line. Editor Manning in our Midst Mr. A. I. Manning, editor of the Indianapolis World, and advance courier of the National Democratic Committee, refached town last Saturday and is busy this week with the session of the committee that is fixing the time and place of the next national convention of the Jeffersonian party. Mr. Manning is usually the custodian of the prized $100,000 check that is put up by the city that wins the convention. Mr. Manning's host of friends, chief among them Bishop Alexander Walters, are extremelyuxious to have him "land" a position under the administration commensurate with long party service and unflagging loyalty, and they still have hope that a suitable berth will be found for him. It is said that he might be persuaded to accept the recordership of deeds, if it should be tendered. This desirable plum is still unplucked and the $1,000 salary is lapsing. It is an open secret that Mr. Manning could have had the Liberian Mission, but declined it, and joined Bishop Walters in the recommendation that led to the selection SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY DECEMBER 11TH.

Dr. and Mrs. Fonvielle arrived here Thursday of last week and are living at 521 East Park Avenue. BURNED TO DEATH In a fire which started in a frame house in Bolton street lane near West Broad on last Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. Judy Hart was burned to death in an upstairs room. She had been living there with her daughter, Mrs. Pattence Graham, but there was no one in the house when the fire caught. Her son-in-law, Mr. Alex Graham, arrived on the scene a short while after the blaze was detected and knowing the old lady was upstairs attempted to rescue her, but the flames having enveloped the entire inside of the building made it impossible for him to reach her. Mrs. Hart will be remembered as the old blind woman. When on the streets she carried a stick in front of her as a guide and at times a little boy led her with a stick. She was buried on Thursday morning. THE FOOTBALL SEASON AMONG NEGRO COLLEGES PRODUCES MANY SURPRISES HAMPTON, FISK AND WILBERFORCE HAVE EXCEPTIONALLY FINE RECORDS 1915 INCENDIARY FIRES CAUSE BIG LOSS Planters Warned to get Rid of Negro Employes. Atlanta, Dec. 6.—News was received in Atlanta to-day to fire losses, totalling over $90,000 in Cherokee county following warnings to planters to get rid of their Negro employees. It was learned to-day that there had been found fires. In two cases warnings had been received, but in the other two instances it is stated that no notice had been sent. The Coggins brothers, who have immense barns and granaries near Canton, Ga., lost $75,000. Hal Coggins who lives in Atlanta, said he did not believe the insurance would cover the losses. Other losers by the fire were Otto Sherman, about $10,000; Guy Stinger, about $5,000, and Freeman Bell about $1,000. In every case, proof was left that the fires were of incendiary origin. Coggins stated to-day to reporters in Atlanta that the barns of his company would be rebuilt. HIS CILARITABLENESS PROVEN Mr. Geo. S. Williams Left Large Estate The will of Mr. Geo. S. Williams, who died a few weeks ago, was probed in the ordinary's court. It proved that he had amassed a snug competence by his wise investments and frugality. Mr. Williams was always of a charitable disposition and no worthy appeal was turned down by him. This much was especially shown in the disposition of his holdings. He left a house on Burroughs street for his two sisters. He allowed Miss Mary H. Williams five dollars per month and provided a home for her for life. Mrs. Luvinian Hill, a sister-in-law, was bequeathed $200, and the same amount to Mrs. Lillian Williams Seymore of Hartford, Conn. Charity hospital of which he was president and one of its olders trustees, was donated fifty dollars. Two more of his relatives, Messrs. George T. Williams and J. H. Blunt were also financially remembered. Mr. Williams was devotion itself to his beloved wife. Mrs. Mamie Miller Williams, and in proof of this and her loyalty and helpfulness to him, he left her the sole executrix without the least restriction. She receives the residue of the estate. Those who have been apprised of the contents of the will were free in expressing its thoughtfulness and thorpeness.

Battise, the well-known barber, who has been confined at the Charity hospital for more than five weeks, where he underwent an operation, is able to be out again. ON AMONG NEGRO CES MANY SURPRISES BERFORCE HAVE EXCEP- NE RECORDS Game Well Attended Hampton Wins Middle Atlantic Championship.—Morehouse Leads Georgia Schools Again—Livingstone and A. and T. Best In North Carolina—Va. Normal Plays Heaviest Schedule—Improvement in teams. Many were the surprises among the Negro colleges during the foot ball season just closed. Innumerable were the times when the reckoning of the dopsers went for naught and they were forced by the unexpected so often happening, to admit that their reasoning was a little faulty. Up in the middle Atlantic states the stalwart team of Hampton had the edge on all of their opponents and by reason of their 18 to 0 victory over Howard will have to be given the championship of that section. Hampton's record this year was exceptionally good and in no instance was her goal line crossed by an opponent while she succeeded in piling up 148 points against her adversaries. In the southeast and middle south Fisk University, by virtue of the heavy schedule played and the overwhelming defeat she administered to Tuskegee on Thanksgiving day, will, no doubt, be conceded first place by most of the followers of the gridiron. In this state the Morehouse Tigers again carried off the honors. Because of many injuries to the team during the early fall, Morehouse had to play her last two games under great handicaps but proved a worthy and formidable foe, not losing a single game and holding aloft the colors of the Empire state of the South against some of the best teams of the country. In the Tar Heel state they were unable to decide the championship, although Livingstone and the Agricultural and Technical College tried twice during the season to decide this question between themselves, both games resulting in ties. The heaviest schedule of any Negro college was played by the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute. Nine games was played by this school all resulting in victories except the one with Virginia Union, which the latter captured by a score of 9 to 7. Of the twenty schools enumerated below two succeeded in keeping their goal line uncrossed, they being Hampton and Knoxville. In South Carolina the State College boys at Orangeburg went the season without a defeat, as did also Wilberforce University in Ohio. Knoxville College and Jackson College. Miss. On the whole the attendance at the games was much better than last year and the spectators in most instances were afforded an excellent brand of the game. The following is the result of the games so far as we have been able to ascertain, upon which the dopsters may frame many argument to suit their respective favorites: Fisk University Fisk 62.....Franklin Y.

Saturday December 11th, 1915 The first gun in the presidential campaign was ured last Monday when the Democratic national committee met and decided to call the Democratic National Convention in St. Louis, June 14, 1916. The Republican National Committee meets next Tuesday in Washington, when a call for the National Convention will be decided upon. During the reconstruction period lawlessness reigned supreme under the name of the "Klu Klux Klan. This momenclature is being perpetuated by certain zealots forming a fraternal union in Atlanta. We had hoped that before the termination of the present year, that we would have had established at least a first class centrally located grocery store and a well stocked furniture store. These and other enterprises are badly needed in the city. Instead of duplicating our interests it would be far better for our men of means to divert their attention in a more diversified way in order to attract some of the dollars that are going into the coffers of the other fellow. May the coming year see the establishment of these and other badly needed enterprises among us. Only a few days more before the closing of the tax books which carries an additional cost to delinquent tax payors. This should be a call especially to the voters to qualify in order to participate in the elections of the coming year. At present this state enjoys perpetual registration with the provision of each year's tax being paid. This should be an incentive for from our men to keep up and many mare of them to be placed on the registration list. At least be a qualified citizen. The more than eight thousand dollars to be distributed to day by the Wage Earners Savings Bank, to members of its Christmas club, show how much our people, and especially the little ones can save by putting aside methodically a few cents. This should be an incentive for hundreds more of our people to join these Christmas Clubs, and not only that but save a part of their earnings and deposit same in the colored banks. Our people are entirely too weak to be acting along factional lines. Those who are leading in it should be discarded by the people. Atlanta is trying to recall its mayor and a few of its councilmen. Among the petitioners for the recall are several colored voters. Capital is being made of this fact. It is hoped that the day will come when certain of our white friends will come using dark glasses. One night this week in Cherokee county a big farming concern lost $90,000 by fire, which was of an incidiary nature. The prepetrators claim that it was done as a warning for all the Negro employees to be discharged and run out of that county. Another claim is made that the perpetrators committed arson in order to cover up their thievery. At one note, the poor Negro being used as the buffer. Last week we published a very interesting article from the pen of Mr. Chas, F. Waters, on the singers of long ago. This article conjured up pleasant memories to those who know the organizations named, and the sweet singers connected with them. Savannah was always noted for its sweet singers, its choirs and other musical organizations.

S. Blocker Beaufort, S. C., Dec. 9.—One of the most beautiful weddings seen here for some time, was that of Mr., Joseph Mulligan and Miss Rosa Bryant on Thanksgiving evening at Tabernacle Baptist Church, Rev. D. W. Bythewood officiated. Immediately after the ceremony a reception was held in honor of the bride and groom at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Elliott, corner Harrington and Prince streets. Both the bride and groom are very popular, as was shown by the many hansome presents received.—Mrs. Sadie D. Folk was called to the bed side of her mother at Jackson, Miss, this past week.—Major J. H. Fordam, of Orangchurg, S. C., was in the city for a few days last week. While here he was the guest of Hon J. I. Washington.—Mrs. Rosa Williams has returned home after spending two weeks in Augusta. While there Mrs. Williams took in the colored fair.—Rev. P. P. Watson is in the city this week. Rev. Watson is always a welcome guest at his old home.—Mrs. Josephine Bythewood died Friday December 3rd at her home on Duke street. Her funeral took place Sunday from the F. A. B. Church.—Emancipation day in Beaufort, January first, promises to be the largest held here in years. The local committee will arrange for floats and other displays of Negro progress. The school children will be given prizes for fancy work, canning and cooking matches. Interest is being manifested here in the celebration.—Rev. Jennings, the new minister of the Wesley M. E. Church, preached his first sermon in Beaufort last Sunday to a large crowd which was out to welcome him to our city.—Miss Julia Moore is out again after being ill for two weeks at her home on Scott street.—At the auditorium Thursday evening, December 2. "East Lynn", a stirring drama in five acts was presented for the benefit of F. A. B. Church. The cast of characters was as follows: Sir Francis Levinson, Mr. Earnest A.

Butler, as he is commonly called among Atlantans, but who is better known by his fraternal brethren for his many deeds, has brought great benefits and profitable results in many measures that would have been lost had it not been for the devoted interest that Dr. Butler has in his brothers. Dr. Butler is a resourceful diplomat as well as a distinguished physician and surgeon. He, by his statesmanship, made it possible for the order to exist today in the southern states, yet he has received no credit for his masterly works from the people of his city or state. He is a member of the Supreme Lodge, and it was at a meeting of that august body that he, after all the stars of eloquence and legal knowledge had failed to solve the perplexing problem that confronted them concerning the future existence of the order in Georgia, when they failed, Dr. Butler poured out his healing balm of knowledge upon the troubled waters of anxiety and thereby caused measures to be passed that were directly responsible for the existence of the greatest fraternal organization the world has ever known, and for his many deeds of a like character he has been appointed Surgeon General of the Supreme Jurisdiction of N. A., S. A., E., A., A., A., receiving his appointment last week. We all should exclaim with sincere hearts. "Long live Gen' Butler, and may his days be lengthened for in him we have found a fraternal savior."—Capt. John H. Fletcher, Pythian Editor, Atlanta Post. SICK IN NEW YORK The many friends in this city of Mr. Joseph S. Williams will regret to learn of his critical illness in New York City. He is formerly a Savannahian, but for a number of years he and his wife, Mrs. Frances Smith Williams, have been living in New York. Since the beginning of the great European war which is being waged by twelve contending countries, who, by their actions, seem to enjoy the practice of killing and malning a few thousand men a day, which work of man slaughter has been going on for the past sixteen months, and because of the deadly work of the much dreaded submarines, which destroy in a few minutes that which it took months, yea, even years to build up, and all of which is being done in the waters under the earth; while the air craft of modern warfare is hurling their deadly missiles from above upon the heads and property of their enemies, whether they be real or imaginary, this our own country which is at peace with all nations of the earth has now come to the conclusion that the only hope for her in the event that a hostile nation should essay to "put us into our class", is "preparedness." "Preparedness First" "Preparedness First" Preparedness first is exactly the point we had in mind when we began our letter for this week. In many respects individuals are like nations. Those nations which prepared in advance of this great war are the ones which are causing the others which did not prepare to sit up and take notice. The same rule of preparedness which is bringing success to the warriors in the European countries today will also bring success to the Negro business man in this community, when the rule has been intelligently applied. It is indeed a mistaken idea which no Negro man engaged in business should cherish and entertain for one moment, that he can get and hold the trade of the fastidious public without first being prepared to do so. The black man with money to spend, is like the people of all other races, he is now beginning to want the best for nothing. The troughtful Negro business man, like all other business men, is thinking and planning as the days go and come how he may not only hold what business he has but he may gradually put on a substantial increase. The Negro business man is also learning the important lesson of keeping his stock up to the high standard set by the other fellow. He has also learned that to get and hold trade, it is necessary to keep his wares and shelf goods clean, free from dust, cobwebs, fly-specks, etc. Like the other fellow, he is beginning to learn that when two or more persons come into his place of business and ask for a certain article or a special brand, it is time that such article or brand he kept in stock. In other words, the average high class business Negro has decided if the other fellow can make good as a business factor in the same line in which he is engaged, that he can and will make good too. The twentieth century Negro business man has long since learned that he cannot be classed as a first class grocer with only a few dusty cans of sardines and a few trashy gallons of grits in an open tub or box in some little dark, foul smelling shop. He has also learned if it is necessary for the other fellow to keep his place of business clean, will lighted, well stocked, properly ventilated and attractive, that he, too, must do likewise if he would make good in his special line. What is true with reference to the up-to-date Negro grocer, is also true with the Negro dry goods merchant, the Negro banker, the Negro doctor, the Negro lawyer, the Negro insurance man, in fact, every Negro who has the other fellow as a competitor, should see to it that he be prepared in every respect to deliver the goods. Perseverance Perseverance is only another name used in business circles for one sticking to his or her job. Once upon a time when we as a race were without men who really had any practical experience in the love of business and in the professions, and when one would venture in without first counting up the cost and would fall, there were those on both sides of the fence, so to speak, who would be deeply in sympathy with him who failed, but now-a-days when practical men of the race can be secured, whose training came as a result of years of service in the other fellow's business where they were taught to do things in a way that profits and dividends would occur from the business in which they were engaged, and when our men engaged in business allow themselves and their enterprises to fall in the face of all of these advantages in their favor there is no sympathy or consideration to be expected. It is not enough for a man to thoroughly understand the business in which he is, engaged but, to make that business succeed as it should, it is highly necessary for him to keep everlasting on the job. In other words it means perseverance first, last and all the time. Swimming up Stream. It is said that this nerve straining venture is only engaged. In by the game fish. The Negro man engaged in business, meeting and overcoming the many obstacles, as he stems the tides of adversities, may be truthfully classed as the game fish of the race. There are no great deeds accomplished worth while, without thought and labor. As we close this letter we wish to call the young men's attention one more time to the importance of registering and paying one dollar and having their names placed among those of all men who really feel that they are a part and parcel of this government and desire all men to treat them as such. Come early to your next meeting December 17th Wage Earners Savings Bank, Alice and West Broad streets. MOCK TRIAL The W. H. F.

He was especially commissioned by the trustees to convey to Fisk University greetings and congratulations upon the occasion of the inauguration of President Fayette A. McKenzie. The cordiality with which he was received is an indication of the close bonds uniting these two pioneer institutions for Negro education. Among other appointments was one at the Brick Presbyterian Church in New York City and at the Euclid Avenue Congregational Church in Buffalo. In these places as well as elsewhere there was evidence of continued interest in the work that Atlanta Uni- versity is doing for the welfare of the Negro and the Nation The pictures of the beautiful campus and the groups of students never fall to arouse Interest, and an appeal based upon the national responsibility for giving the colored citizens an opportunity for liberal education never falls to meet with some response. Plans are on foot for the annual Fisk-Howard-Atlanta debate which will be held on Friday evening, April 7. The alumni of Atlanta University have offered prizes for the preliminary contest leading to the choice of the team which will represent this institution. The public will be invited to attend this contest on Friday evening January 7.

An Ornament to Paria The Place de la Concorde in Paris is one of the most beautiful places of the kind in the world. It was not until 1763 that the grounds were first adorned by the erection of an equestrian statue of Louis XV. and Gabriel, the architect, constructed the balustrades and pavilions that are seen today. The present design, however, was made by Hittorff in 1834. In 1792 the statue of the king was removed by the populace, and the square became known as the Place de in Revolution. During the bloody period the guillotine was placed here, and Louis XVI. was executed on Jan. 21, 1793, and in the following October the unfortunate Marie Adainette shared a like fate. The Parting Little Eva brought a comb and brush to her mother and said, "Mamma, please make a pathway in my hair." Most Wonderful Clock. The most wonderful clock in the world is in St. Petersburg. It has ninety-five faces. It indicates simultaneously the time of day at thirty points on the earth's surface, besides the movement of the earth around the sun, the phases of the moon, the signs of the zodiac, the passage over the meridian, of more than fifty stars of the northern hemisphere, and the dates according to the Gregorian, Greek, Muslimian and Hebrew calendars. It took two years to put the works to gether. Join Our 1916 Christmas Saving Club You Can Start Now. Five Cents to One Dollar. NOTICE TO DEBTORS AND CREDITORS Georgia, Chatham county.

(Continued from first page) jor R. R. Jackson of Chicago, Supreme Keeper of Record and Seals E. R. Underwood, of Frankford, Ky., and other representing the Supreme Lodge N. A., S. A., E. A., A., and A., are here this week in connection with litigation in the United States Court touching the contempt proceedings growing out of the controversy of the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias with Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr., and his colleagues of the Grand Lodge of the state of Virginia. Grand Soiree by "Soap Box Club" The third annual soiree of the famous "Soap Box Club," given last Friday evening at Old Folk's Hall, was the swellest social affair marking the pre-holiday season. The attendance was large and representative of the best the capital affords in beauty, fashion, intellect and culture. The latest dance music was furnished by Praf. Charles Hamilton's orchestra and all of the "big numbers" were enthusiastically enced. Many out-of-town visitors, including guests from New York City, Baltimore and Richmond, were present and added mush to the gayety of the occasion. The Soap Box Club is made up as follows: Andrew J. Payne, president; George L. Waton, vice-president; Talbert E. Dowling, secretary; Albert H. Adams, financial secretary; Nelson D. Newman, treasurer; Perdinand A. Bradley, sergeant-at-arms; W. P. Thomas, Eugene B. Letcher, Frank B. Thompson, Harry A Cole, George A. Younger, J. Gartfield Harris, Charles M. Francis and Stephen O. Plummer. U. S. M. Maxwell Buys out Business Mr U. S. M. Maxwell, one of Washington's most enterprising and farseeing business men, has purchased the pool room and cigar emporium at 1819 11th street which has been operated for a number of years with signal success by Leut. Walter A Pinchback. The stand is a popular one with the young men of "the Smart Set" and is a familiar debating ground for the leaders who know "what's what" in politics, roligi a and educational problems. Kindergarten Night at Bethel Literary Kindergarten work and training were discussed at the meeting of the Bethel Literary and Historical Association at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church Tuesday evening. Race Question in National Mix-up Attorneys William L. Hawkins and A. W. Grays, colored, are the representatives of Mrs. Anna L. Linney, a white woman, who has entered suit against her husband for separate maintenance. Mrs. Linney, who before her marriage to the defendant, Thomas L. Linney, was a widow with two children, alleges that she was led into believing the said Linney was a Caucasian until shortly before the birth of their child in October, 1914, when she discovered that her husband was a Negro and that she had been deceived as to his race. The wife alleges further that because of the discovery of her husband's race she has been ostracized by her relatives and former friends. The petition set forth that the Linneys were married December 17, 1913, in Philadelphia. The wife asks a reasonable amount of alimony that she may maintain herself and her children apart from Linney, and Justice McCoy, of the District Supreme Court has cited the case for an early hearing. Dr Evans Granted His "Day in Court" As this letter is being mailed to the country, the celebrated case of Dr. W. Bruce Irons against the board of education is being heard before Justice W. P. Strafford in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. The result must be the subject of a later communication. Dr. Bryan drew "first blood" in the preliminary battle a few days ago, when the board of education attempted to get a demurrer through, after having delayed the hearing twice by continuances. Justice Stafford cut across lots and dismissing all quibbles set forth by the counsel for the board, denied the plea for a demurrer and insisted that an issue be joined and tried out in open court. After much stuffing, and agreement was reached by which both parties would be ready for a trial, of the case in its merits on the following Monday, December 6. The particulars of the interesting struggle for justice on the part of Dr. Ivans are well known to the nation. Without trial, as prescribed by law, Dr. Ivans was summarily dismissed as principal of Armstrong Manual Training school and as assistant director of night schools for the district. The separation was recommended by Assistant Superintendent Roscoe Conkling Bruce, without warning, although the two had been warm personal friends of long standing. Miss Minnie Brown in Recital Miss Minnie Brown the accomplished vocalist, backed by a splendid reputation as a singer through her long connection with the choir of St. Mark's M. E. Church, New York City, and distinct triumphs as a prima donna with leading theatrical combinations, appeare in recital at John Wesley A. M. A. Zion Church Friday evening and was warmly greeted by a large and sympathetic audience of music loyers. They enjoyed a rare treat. Miss Brown was in excellent voice and her mellow high notes completely filled the immense auditorium. "Charlotte Forten Grimke High School" This is the name that the board of education has decided the new building to take the place of the M Street High School shall bear. The selection made so in her memory of Mrs. Charlotte Forten Grimke, a former member of the Board of Education, and who has won fame as an author, organizer and a factor in the civic and social upift of the race in the earlier days of our development. The new structure is in course of erection and is located on 1st. between N and O streets northwest. It will cost more than a half million dollars, and will be ready for occupancy in a few months. The old M Street High school will be converted into a vocational center, if the recommendation of Prof Arthur C. Newman, the head of the Cardozo Vocational School is carried into effect. Town Topics in Tabloid Bishop Alexander Walters, the race's most commanding political and religious figure, has been in the city this week, witnessing the opening scene of the 10th Congress, which met here, to set the time and place for the next national convention.—Miss Frances Grant, who is teaching at Duketsville, Mel., was in the city last Saturday for the week end and with a party of friends took in the "Broadway Rastus" show at the Howard.—Mrs. W. H. J. Malvin, of the office of the Recorder of Deeds, has returned from a visit to Cincinnati. Ohio.—Lawyer Charles S.

C., which is to be held here next September.—Former Register J. C. Napor is expected in the city in a few days. He comes on a business mission.—January 16 has been set as the date for the national memorial meeting in honor of Dr. Boker T. Washington. Distinguished speakers from all parts of the country and representing all walks of life have been invited to take part in the programme and the occasion will be of international significance.—N. B. Staley, a graduate of Howard University and the Miner Normal School, has been appointed to teach academic subjects at the O Street Vocational school, of which J. Meria Saunders is principal.—Prof. Kelly Miller was among the Washington educators who attended the inauguration of Prof. William Pickens as dean of Morgan College in Baltimore last week. Friday evening Prof. Miller will be principal speaker at the special memorial meeting held by the Mu So-Lit Club at the Y. M. C. A., in honor of the late Dr. Boker T. Washington.—Prof. S. M. Dudley, a young man of ripe scholarship and splendid executive ability, is being groomed by his friends for the post of Secretary of Education of the A. M. E. Zion Church. These is an assumption that there will be a vacancy in this position by reason of the possible election of the present incumbent, Dr. S. G. Atkins, to the presidency of Livingstone College, to succeed Dr. W. A. Color who is said to be slated for either the financial secretaryship or the bishopric in the Zion church.—At a recent civil service examination for promotion the clerks in the Treasury department, the highest average was made by Mr. Chester A. Carpenter, a young colored man, who is also a graduate of the law department of Howard University and a business man of experience.—The local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., observed the birthday of Wendell Phillips on the 39th ult., at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. The address of the evening was delivered by Mr. Charles Edward Russell, the eminent sociologist. Mr. A. H. Grimke presided.—Rev. Monroe S. Caver, of Arkansas, pastor of the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, of this city, has accepted an appointment in the war department. He was connected for a long time with the treasury, but found that a change would better fit into his ministerial duties. He is a progressive young man. Messrs. Louis H. Russell, George W. Adams and John R. Hunt have been appointed as substitute teachers in academic subjects in the colored high schools, and Miss Patheonia Woodson, the only graduate in domestic science in last year's Miner Normal school class, has been appointed to teach her publicly in the colored divisions of the local school system. Miss Jennie Taylor has been named as a substitute teacher in mathematics, English and French in the high schools. Because of disadvantages that overshadowed its advantages, Miss Lillian Evans, assistant in kindergarten instruction, has declined a proffered promotion to kindergarten principal, with assignment at the Garfield school, beyond Amacosta, D. C. It was expected that Miss Evans would be named to succeed Miss Nettle Murray as kindergarten principal at Bell school. Miss Evans, who is an exceptionally competent teacher and a brilliant misleague, is the daughter, of Dr. W. Bruce Evans, who was summarily deposed some years ago as principal of the Arrestgong Manual Training school. Think This Over Did you ever sit down and examine your thoughts and actions, and then ask yourself for a straight, honest answer to the question: What have I done for Freemasonry? Can you find anything in your whole life that you would have done differently if you had not been a Mason? In other words, has Freemasonry in any way influenced your course of life? How many times have you recognized the fact that some poor, miserable unfortunate was your brother? How often has your heart gone out in charity for other's faults, other's needs and others' woes? How often have you given "the preference" to a brother Mason or used your influence for him? Have the principles of Freemasonry as exemplified by you been a living life?—Queenland Freemason. Strength Zeal in adding to membership, that the fraternity may be better able to cope with any common enemy, indicates that some brethren overlook the principal strength of the Masonic institution. Brain will ever be superior to brawn and moral righteousness to physical force. A more careful study of the allegorical lessons of the several degrees would, of necessity bind us more firmly as a society of friends and brothers among whom no contention should ever exist.—Masonic Sentinel. A Masonic lodge should resemble a lee blive, in which all the members work together with ardor for the common good. Masonry is not meant for cold souls and narrow minds, that do not comprehend its lofty mission. Here the anathema against luke-warm souls applies. To comfort misfortune, to popularize knowledge, to teach whatever is true and pure in religion and philosophy, to accustom men to respect order and the proprietors of life, to point out the way to genuine happiness, to prepare for that fortunate period, when all the factions of the human family, united by the bonds of Toleration and Fraternity, shall be but one household; these are teh labors that may well excite zeal and enthusiasm.—Albert Pike. It is the "light in Masonry" that the candidate is seeking for, and it is only by a study of the teachings of Masonry through his brain that Masonic love to God, his neighbor and himself is possible. Albreo F. Chase. The Silver Cord In the beautiful and effecting description of the body of man suffering under the infirmities of old age given in the twelfth chapter of Ecclesiastes, we find the expression, "or ever the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain; then shall the dust return unto the earth as it was, and the spirit shall return to God who gave it." Dr. Clark thus explains these beautiful metaphors. The silver cord is the spiritual marrow; its loosening is the cessation of all nervous sensibility; the golden bowl is the brain, which is rendered unfit to perform the functions by the approach of death; the pitcher means the great vein which carries the blood to the right ventricle of the heart, here called the fountain; by the wheel is meant the great artery which receives the blood from the left ventricle of the heart, here designed as the eistern.—Exchange. Unmasonic Advertising Considerable advertising literature is circulating around the country in the nature of travesties on our Masonic lectures. It is high time that all good Masons join in an effort to suppress such matter and to promptly discipline all offenders. It is hard to understand how any member of the craft will so far forget his Masonic obligations and his regard for the fraternity as to become a part to such a despicable practice.—Illinois Freemason. Some lodges that are famous for a "full house" on Third Degree nights are notably weak in the matter of attendance at funerals—Masonic Standard. The old h tuner of the eighteenth THE SAVANNAH TRIFUNE century taught symbolic, by that there three distinct periods in Masonic history; these were the Loly Lodge, Sacred Lodge, and the Royal Lodge. The Holy Lodge was opened in the tamernaele in the wilderness, and over it presided Moses, Aholiab and Bazaell; the Sacred Lodge was opened on Mount Morlah during the building of the first temple, and was presided over by Solomon, king of Israel; Hiram, king of Tyre, and Hiram the builder; the Royal Lodge was opened among the ruins of the first temple, at the building of the second, and was presided over by Joshua, Zerubbabel and Hagai. Though presented as a tradition, it is really only a symbol intended to illustrate three important events in the progress of Masonic science.—MacKey. A Masonic lodge should not becomtained with the regless spirit of the age that spirit which regards money and power as the chief good and material growth as real progress, that spirit seeks to exeel in size rather than substance, and in quantity rather than quality. In Masonry gradual growth that is safe and sure. It is the only real growth that is possible.—Masonic Journal. Freemasonry interests us in the duties and engagements of humanity; produces an affectionate concern for the welfare of all around us; and, raising us superior to every selfish view, or partly prejudice, fills the heart with an unlimited good will to man.—Missouri Freemason. Noble Lives No lives on earth can be nobler than those spent for the uplifting and betterment of mankind. For them there is no death. Could that radiant glow of joy and happiness which they have poured into the dark and desolate homes of the distressed be reflected upon their deathbed, we could see them pass from this life to that of the realms above in a halo of heavenly glory. The voices that, through such a noble life, have been whispering words of cheer and encouragement to the sorrowful may be silent; the hands that patiently and mercifully have administered to the weak and suffering may be folded in the embrace of death; but life itself and the memory of their deeds will live forever. Masonry is the daughter of heaven and happy are those who embrace her! By this, youth is passed over without agitation, middle age without anxiety and old age without remorse. Masonry teaches the way to content, a thing almost unknown to the greater part of mankind. In short, its ultimate report is to enjoy in security the things that are, to reject all meddlers in state affairs or religion, or those of a trilining nature, to embrace those of real moment, and worthy tendency, with fervency and zeal unfeigned, as ending in happiness. They are rich without riches, intrinsically possessing all desirable good; and in short have the less to wish for by the enjoyment of what they have. Liberty, peace and tranquility are the only objects worth their efforts, trouble and diligence. Anonymous. --- Dictators Need Not Apply Masons always follow capable leaders. Just as long as those entrusted with the conduct of Masonic affairs show they are sincere and acting for the good of the order, just so long will the members continue to express confidence in them by their votes and otherwise. But whenever a man who has received honors at the hands of his brethren assumes the role of dictator, he loses his influence and his official recognition is doomed.—Masonic Chronicle. The cause of our present system of Masonry is ignorance. There are many Masons who profess to know all about the catechism, yet who never read anything Masonic, not even the great light upon the altar. If asked as to the meaning of any symbols, emblems or legends, they appear dumb. They even refuse to read in the by-laws the answers to simple questions, wanting them referred to the Grand Master, imagining that individual to be an infallible walking encyclopedia of law and usage, and a compendium of history, landmark and tradition. One trouble with our present system is that we are not teaching Masons to think, but to remember, and so long as it is possible for a man to stand up and recite ritual by the yard, and receive the plaudits of admiring friends he has very little desire to search after those things which go to build the fraternity into its high relationship to an activity—Illinois Freemason Orders will be taken at the Grill Club, call phone 1451 or 1055-J.

BENEDICT'S CHURCH For long shall we remember the beautiful exercises and services held in our dear church during the ten days mission. Above all impressive and religious was the close of the mission Wednesday night. In an eloquent sermon Father Vincent C. P., pictured the joys and delights of heaven which will be the reward of every faithful and good Christian in the life to come. When at the profession of faith and the renewal of baptismal vows, hundreds raise their loud voices to swear to God allegiance and fidelity in the future. It was like a mysterious thrill that penetrated every mind and soul of the congregation. Many a tear flowed from the eyes of the assistance when last, just before the benediction, in a few words. Father Vincent thanked all for having so generously contributed to the services of the mission, and told all goodbye, to meet again if not on earth in heaven, the sweet, sweet lodge of all just and saints of God's obsele. Rev. Father Vincent left Savannah for Augusta to conduct a mission in the church there of the Immaculate conception. There is no doubt that her Vincent, through his eloquent preaching, has arounded many a soul and consoled many others who were carrying the burden of life with discouragement. The good work he has done in our parish will bear abundant fruit in the future. It is expected that all shall be able to carry out faithfully our good resolutions and thus draw upon us God's favors and blessings. Next Wednesday, Friday and Saturday will be Ember days, i.e. days of fast and abstinence. Our Sunday services are in the morning at 7, 8, and 10:30 o'clock, evening devotions at 8 p.m. Any person who wishes to take instruction may apply to the rectory, 752 Garden street, east, where a course of instructions is given every Tuesday and Friday evening from 7 to 9 p.m. GOODWILL BAPTIST CHURCH The Goodwill Baptist Church, one block west of the water works, Rev. W. H. Prince, pastor. Last Sunday the Sunday school met at the usual hour and the remainder of the morning was given to Sunday school work in preparing for a Christmas tree. The pastor spoke on Sunday night on the subject. "Why God will supply all your needs." The services were inspiring and well attended. Communion services will be held tomorrow at 4 p.m. all are invited to attend. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH On last Sunday morning at the eleven o'clock service the pastor preached a powerful sermon. The Sunday school met at the usual hour and had a special meeting. The practice for the Christmas exercises is progressing and the children will have a great exercise. The B. Y. P U not at its usual hour with Mr. John W. Roberts, Sr., as the leader for the evening. The meeting will be led tomorrow evening by Miss Geneva Fisher and a programme will also be rendered after the meeting. You are invited to come out.

Y. P. U. 6:30 p. m., preaching 8:00 p. m. BUTLER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH On Sunday last we were especially favored by the presence of Rev. N. C Hansome of Cordelle, Ga., who preached two impressive sermons. The morning hour the theme was "The commission of God," at the evening hour "The power of God unto salvation." The Christian Endeavor was led by Rev. H. M Collier. The order of service Preaching 11:39 a.m. Sunday school 2 p.m. Christian Endeavor 7 p.m. preaching 8 p.m. mid week service every Wednesday evening at 8 p.m. Rev. Hansome was here attending the M. E. conference. ST. MARY'S BAPTIST CHURCH A very successful rally was recently held at St. Mary's Baptist Church of which Rev. R. J. Kelly is the very able and well-liked pastor. Interisting services with able sermons were held each night of the rally and the attendance was good. Those who delivered sermons were Rev W. M. Peck Lie, J. T. Augustus Lie, D. T. Shannon, Lie, G. W. Washington, Lie, H. K. Montgomery, Rev. J. A. James, Rev A P Fuller Rev C. Priester Rev W. H. Prince Rev I. S. Urby Rev J. A. Edwards, Rev W. W. Brown, Lie, G T. Gillson. The closing sermon was preached by the pastor, Rev R. J. Kelly from 1st King 18-21. The rally was quite helpful and has done much to inspire the members with new zeal. JUBELEE SONGS AND MELODIES The National Baptist Publishing Board Turning Out Revised Copies of the Old Plantation Songs and Mel- Nashville, Tennessee—Nothing within the past generation has scored such a tremendous success as is recorded by the National Baptist Publishing Board of this city, when it is issued from its mammoth presses the song book known as the National Jubilee Melodies. While the Baptist Publishing House has from time to time managed to get in the lead for new publications and new paraphernalia for Baptist Sunday schools and churches, it is looked upon as an achievement worthy of note for the whole race when the board succeeded in getting the rights of the publication of the book which looks in itself as if it will be able to raise the whole race to a higher level or standard. The publication is in its second edition. It consists of a hundred and sixty pages and contains some of the oldest and latest of the jubilee songs. Every one of them is set to music and is arranged that the music scholars of to-day can enjoy the songs that were sung by their foremasters' tour generations back. While there are name of the songs recorded in the book like "Swing Low Charlot," "Kale on King," "Steal Away," "The Old Camp Meeting," were familiar to many of the people, thousands had never known of them being set to music as they were only handed down from one generation to another by a common air. Rev. Dr. Boyd, the secretary of the Publishing Board, of this city, succeeded in getting Prof. K. D. Reddick and Prof. Phil V. S. Lindsley, the former arranger and composer of music and the latter a music writer, to get together this array of songs. The appearance of the book was pronounced at the first as a signal of great success. The Baptist Publishing House in securing the publisher's rights on this publication considered it as a great scoop. This city, which has been regarded as the home of jubilee songs and melodies, therefore, at once put itself in a position to claim the title in reality by producing this volume of the National Jubilee Melodies, that many say will make the race more celebrated as the producer of the only real American music. These Who Buy Them. The man who can't afford to buy one; the man who prefers to own a good team of thoroughbreds; the man who doesn't mind the first cost, "but it's such an expense to run one," the man who wouldn't have time to enjoy one the man who would like one all right "only I want to get my place paid for first"—they are all buying cars so fast that the factories can't keep up with orders. Before long there will not be enough pedalgrants left to furnish sport for the drivers.—Puck. Obstruction Explanation Old Uncle Andy was steering his master's boat down the bay. They passed an ocean liner. "Andy," said Mr. Blank, "just look how high that ship stands out of the water. I wonder why it is." "Why, boss," answered the old darky, "don't yu know? We ain't had no rain for night on three weeks now, and de water's gittin' low." -New York Post. Some Kind of Rock. "Say, waiter," said the travelling man to the hotel waiter, "what kind of chicken do you call this?" "That's a Plymouth Rock, I believe," replied the waiter. "I'm glad it has some claim to historical mention," said the man. "I thought it was just an ordinary cobblestone."--Pittsburgh Press. When Matter Conquered Mind. Lord Wolseley maintained that Ostend would have been, the scene of a desperate battle in 1815 if Napoleon's bodily strength had then proved on a par with his brain power. "The more I study the Waterloo campaign," Wolseley told Grant Duff, "the more highly do I think of Napoleon. If his physical condition and energy had been equal to the powers of his mind, I think he would have succeeded in his design and would first have beaten the Prussians and then driven us back on Ostend. * * * In spite of his odions and contemptible character Napoleon was the greatest man of whom we know anything and quite unlike anybody else." -London Mirror. The Gordian Knot. When one of Uncle Sam's sailors, a man named Gordon, formerly serving on one of the vessels in a West Indian squadron, was taken to the Naval hospital in Washington he described with grewsome vividness to his companions there his adventure with a shark off one of the islands in the West Indies. "I had jest fell over the bulwarks," said the able seaman. "when along comes a big shark an' grabs me by the leg." THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson XI.—Fourth Quarter, For Dec. 12, 1915. Text of the Lesson, Hos. xi, 1-11. Memory Verses, 8, 9-Golden Text, Hos. xi, 4-Commentary Preparod by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Again we are reminded that the two great topics of the Bible are the love of God and the sinfulness of man. His love to Israel as a people is everywhere set forth, and briefly summarized in the first verse of our lesson in Ex. iv. 22. He said, "Israel is my son, my firstborn." In beat. iv. 65. He said, "The Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people; to Himself above all people," and the only reason given is, "Because the Lord loved you." Of course He expected them to love Him in return (D at vl. 4.5), and it was their failure to do so and their loving jobs in His seed that grieved Him in Israel, who was contemporary with Hosea (s. a. 1. Hos. 1. 1). He says, "What could have been done more to my vineyard that I have not done in it? Wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapevines it forth wild grapes?" (Isa. v. 4). In our lesson chapter He not only says, "I love him," but He also says, "I taught Dharmu to go; I healed them; I drew them with cords of a man with bands of love; I had meat unto them" (verses 14). He ever reminded them that He brought them out of the land of Egypt and that He alone was their Saviour (xiii. 4; Isa. xiii. 3, 10; but he had to say, "My people are bent to back-shing from me. O Israel, thou hast destroyed thy self" (verse 7; chapter xii. 9). The son was all theirs. His was the unchanging love. His yearning for them and desire to win them back to Him is seen in such words as, these, "How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? How shall I deliver thee, Israel? "O Israel, return unto the Lord thy God. * * * I will heal their backsliding; I will love them freely" (verse 8; chapter xiv. 1. 10. Hear Him in Ps. 185. 10-16, as He again reminds them that He brought them out of Egypt: "My people would not hearten to my voice, and Israel would none of me. Oh that my people had heartened unto me and Israel had walked in my ways." It was the same cry when He was here in bansaliation. "How often would I, and ye would not." "He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came, unto His own, and His own received Him not" (Matt. xxiii, 37; John 1, 10, 11). What an almost unbelievable record it is that such a God of love should receive such treatment from those whom He so lovingly and patiently seeks to win to Himself that He may bless them and bestow upon them His fulness! Those who have this world's wealth to bestow have no difficulty in making willing recipients, but the great God, the Creator of heaven and earth who giveth to all life and breath and all things, in whom we live and move and have our being, can source get a hearing and receive only ingratitude from those for whom He does so much. Why does He be with such a people and not blot us from off the earth, as He did in the days of, Noah? Because He is God and not man, and not willing that any should perish (verse 9; 11 Pet. ii, 9). He so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that we might not perish. The Son of God loved me and gave Himself for me. He bore my sins in his own body on the cross that I might be delivered from the wrath to come (John iii, 16; Gal. ii, 20; 1 Pet. ii, 21; 1 Thess. i, 10). What kind of a hard, ungrateful heart must I have if such love does not constrain me to live so longer unto myself, but unto Him who so loved me? Whether in Israel or in believers now, the heart is always the same, deceitful and desperately wicked. But He is ever ready to receive and for give all who truly turn to Him, and when the back-slider comes to himself and returns to his Father, even though in rags, and filth, there is a hearty welcome for him, with no upbraiding. Neither of those sons in Luke xv knew their father, neither the one that spent all on himself nor the one who remained at home and thought that he did his duty. The wanderer knew him better after his loving welcome home. The dumb brutes know their masters better than God's people know Him (Isa. i, 2, 3). We vainly think to please Him by sacrifice and offering, but we cannot until we have first allowed Him to have mercy upon us (Hos. vi, 6; Matt. ix, 13). Our own doings beset us about and keep us from turning to God (Hos. v, 4; vi, 2). But when we cease from our own doing, having seen the folly of them, and turn helplessly to Him, then He abundantly pardons and gives Himself wholly to us, and such love constrains us to wait on Him. The first verse of our lesson had a fulfillment in the Son of God, the True Israel, the Son of Mary (Matt. ii, 15), and in Him alone of all the sons of men did the Father fulil that which He desired. He never pleased Himself nor sought His own will nor in any way, in thought, word or deed, displeased His Father, but could say truthfully, "I do always those things that please Him," "I delight to do Thy will, O my God" (John viii, 29; Ps. xi, 8). His resurrection from the dead and His return from heaven in glory are seen in Hos. vi, 1-3, including the resurrection of all His redeemed. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson XII.—Fourth Quarter, For Dec. 19, 1915. Text of the Lesson, Luke ii, 8-20. Memory Verses, 13, 14—Golden Text, Luke ii, 10—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The regular lesson in II Kings xvii tells of the consummation of Israel's sin under Hosea, their last king, until the Lord removed them out of His sight. There was none left but the tribe of Judah only (xvii, 18). Judah also kept not the commandments of the Lord, but sinned more and more, with but few exceptions as to their kings, until they, too, were carried into captivity (xvii, 19; II Chron. xxxvi, 15-19). It is refreshing to turn from such a record to the story of the birth of their long promised Messiah, of whom it was foretold that He would be born of a virgin, in the town of Bethlehem, of the line of David (isa. vi. 14; ix. 6, 7; Mic. 1, 2). So it came to pass that "When the fullness of the tine was come God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law" (Gal. ix. 1, 5). God moved the world by a decree from the ruler of the world, in order that this blessed Virgin Mary should come from Nazareth to Bethlehem; that this wonderful babe should be born in the place foretold by the prophet. And so it came to pass that while they were at Bethlehem she brought forth her firstborn son, * * * and laid Him in a manner because there was no room for them in the im (Luke i. 1-7). The only babe that was ever born whose birth did not mean the beginning of his existence, for of this child it was true that His goings forth were from the days of eternity (Mic. v. 2). He had walked in human form with Adam in Eden, and eaten Abraham's food, talked with Joshua, Gideon and Manoah. Truly great is the mystery of godliness. God was manifest in the flesh (1 Tim. iii. 16). We are not required to understand it, but simply to believe it, as little children who believe what they are told, for these things are hidden from the wise and prudent and revealed unto babes. These shepherds were like babes, for when told the wonderful fiddles they did not for a moment question, but said, "Let us now go even unto Bethlehem and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord bath made known unto us" (verse 15). They came with haste and found it just as the angel had said, and then they made known abroad that which they had seen and heard (verses 16, 17). When the disciples were sent to bring the ass' coel for Him to ride upon and to find the room where they might prepare the last passover, it is written of each event that they toiled as He had said unto them" (Luke six, 32, xxn, 13). As to making it known, we think of Peter and John and hear them saying, "We cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard" (Acts iv, 20). All shall come to pass as it is written in the book, and we shall find in this world and in the ages to come just as He has said. If we were as simple minded believers as these shepherds we would be ever glorifying and praising God for all the things heard and seen, as told us in His Word. Some would only wonder, but some would, like Mary, keep the words in their hearts and ponder them (verses 18:20). It is ours to tell. He will watch over His word, and it will always accomplish His pleasure (Isa. 1, 11; Jer. i. 12). The shepherds were quietly occupied with their regular work, keeping watch over their flocks, when the messenger from heaven came to them with the wonderful tidings. So it was with Moses and Gideon and Lisha and Amos and Zacharias and Mary; all were going about their ordinary work. The angel came in the night. The world was still and unexpectant. When our Lord shall come again it will be in such an hour as we think not. There was a glory with the angel which made the shepherds sore afraid, but the first word was the oft repeated "Fear not" how many do you know? How many have you appropriated and laid to heart? The good tidings of great joy were not only for them, but for all people. Can the tidings be really joyful to those who profess to believe them, but are doing nothing to help all people to know? Can people know Jesus Christ the Lord as their own personal Saviour, who forgives and saves them, and not desire above all things to make known this great salvation? It does seem impossible. But how explain the indifference of the vast multitude of professed believers? Are those who are not interested in making known the glad tidings real believers? God only knows. Suddenly a multitude of angels join the first angel, and all unite in proclaiming, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men!" Not peace, but glory to God, is the first thing, and there can be no peace until we are willing to glorify God by honoring His Son. He must be seen by faith and accepted as truly man of supernatural birth, truly God manifest in the flesh, a Saviour, the only Saviour: not one who helps people to save themselves, but a Saviour who saves the hopelessly lost, and saves wholly by His great salvation, which He had Himself accomplished and bestows freely upon all who receive Him.
