Savannah Tribune

The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXI MAJ. MOTON MAY HEAD TUSKEGEE MAJ. MOTON MAY HEAD TUSKEGEE IS CONSIDERED A VERY CAPABLE SUCCESSOR TO DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON A Leader Of Men One of the Best Known Negro Educators in the Country and a Speaker of Unusual Ability—Is a Product of Hampton Institute. By William Anthony Ary. Robert Russia Moton, known to thousands of white and colored people as "Major" Moton because he has been commandant of cadets at Hampton Institute for nearly twenty-five years, tells in good faith this simple, graphic story of his ancestry: "About the year 1735 there was a fierce battle between two of the strongest tribes on the west coast of Africa. The chief of one of these was considered the most powerful of his time. He succeeded in overpowering his weaker rival and slaughtered and captured a great many of his band. This chief delivered to his son a dozen of these unfortunate survivors to be sold to an American slaver. "The young African chief delivered these men to the captain of the ship and received his pay in trinklets. He was then asked to go out to the ship to see this wonderful sailing vessel. After he had inspected the ship, he was asked by the captain to dine. He said that they gave him some plece food to eat and some strange things to drink, all of which he enjoyed so much he fell asleep. When he woke he was chained to one of the creatures whom he himself had sold, and the vessel was headed toward the United states." Major Moton was born in 1807 in Amelia County, Virginia, and spent his early years at "Pleasant Shade," known as the Virginian plantation, in Prince Edward county, Va. There he made "Mr. Willie," the planter's son, his ideal and copied the young white man's language, walk, and dress. As a worker in the mansion house, he had a great deal of leeway and was encouraged to learn. Hampton Days In October of 1885, Robert R. Moton entered Hampton Institute. When he was asked if he was afraid of hard work he assured the commandant that he was not, for he had labored all his life. He was assigned to the sawmill, where he learned to fire the huge boiler and to run the Colliss engine, under the direction of an ex-Confederate officer, who was as strict as he was kind. During his work year, he was constantly learning by doing. It was a period of initiation into an entirely new life—new people, new duties, different races, new standards, new ideas, new ideals. "When I entered Hampton," says Major Moton. "I had no particular plan as to what I should do when I should have completed the course. As time went on, I was more and more inclined to the legal profession. Most of my teachers advised against it, however; that is, they raised the question whether I thought I could render my people the greatest service as a lawyer, and whether legal advice was the greatest need of an ignorant struggling people. "General Armstrong thought I could be of more use to my people by remaining at Hampton and helping to prepare teachers. The result was that at the close of the school in June 1890. I accepted the position of drillmaster and assistant to the commandant of the school cadets." Before his graduation from Hampton in 1890, Major Moton spent one year as a school teacher in Cumberland County, Virginia, where he taught the boys to drill and the girls gymnastics, where he taught his people to love and appreciate the plantation songs, and where he taught the older children and parents how to make life more worth write. Promptness, alertness, self-control, endurance, respect for authority, initiative, good-will—these were Hampton's gifts to this useful and safe race leader. In recent years Major Moton has toured a number of Southern states with Dr. Booker T. Washington, and has addressed thousands of white and colored people on the value of working together in the spirit of mutual SAVANAH HOME ASSOCIATION TO HAVE XMAS TREE On Sunday afternoon, December 26th, the Savannah Home Association will have a Christmas tree at its reading room, 410 Taylor street, west. There will be a present on the tree for every member of the organization as a gift from the association. The rooms will be opened to the public who is cordially invited. Any person desiring to put a present on the tree for any one will be accorded the privilege to do so. Presents will be received by the committee any night during the week at the reading room and held in strict confidence. Kindly see that the name of the recipient is plainly written on the package so as to avoid mistakes. The affair promises to be very enjoyable and you should avail yourselves of enjoying a pleasant afternoon and be present. helpfulness for the improvement of community and race conditions. Leader of Men There are to-day some 350,000 Virginia Negroes being helped in the fundamentals of life, health, education, agriculture, homemaking; by the Negro Organization Society, of which Major Moton has been president since its foundation three years ago. "The movement among colored people for better schools, better homes, better health, better farms, seems to have made an irresistible appeal to all the people of Virginia," said Major Moton recently. "Religious, benevolent, secret and educational organizations of every character have joined in this movement. Leading white people, including the officials of the Virginia boards of health, education, and of charities and correction, have been most cordial in their support. "The state-wide campaign for clean premises, clean homes and clean lives has received help and support that was little dreamed of. The two races have been brought together on the ground of common needs of humanity. We have given white people a chance which they long desired—a chance to help the Negro without compromise or embarrassment. They have met us more than half way." Major Moton has been an able interpreter of black men to white men. He has succeeded in showing his own people the value of working together for their common interest. "By faithful and efficient service, whether in the kitchen, on the farm, in the shop, in the schoolroom, or in the pulpit," he declares, "the Negro can and must maintain the spirit of co-operation and goodwill that now exists generally throughout the South." Tribute to Hampton Institute A few years ago Major Moton wrote for the "World's Work" a sketch of his life—"A Negro's Uphill Climb"—in which appeared these significant paragraphs: "It is a great privilege to have shared in the work of the institution that has done so much for me and my people. A more earnest, competent, devoted corps of workers cannot be found than the men and women, mostly of the Anglo-Saxon races, who are working at Hampton Institute. "I do not think them merely as teachers of ignorant Negroes and Indians, but as patriotic citizens striving to fit these black and red children to share in the blessings and privileges of our civilization." "I doubt if one could find a more earnest lot of pupils than are to be found at Hampton, eager to grasp the instruction given in trades, in agriculture, in academic studies, in religion and morals in order to go out and help in an unselfish way their less fortunate brothers. "For I truly believe that unless modern civilization is a failure and Christianity an eternal mockery, all of the worthy elements of our population, even these black human creatures, will be permitted to share equally in all fruit of our country according as they measure up to the standard and requirements of this civilization." Teaching Men to Live Major Moton has taught the spirit of Armstrong, Frissell, and Washington. He has been teaching men how to live clean, useful, Christian lives. "General Armstrong struck the keynote," he says, "when nearly fifty years ago he founded Hampton Institute—an institution which, while it was in no sense lacking in appreciation of what is called higher, education, did put emphasis upon the importance and value of such moral and industrial (Continued on page eight) SAVANNAH, GEORGIA.

BOWEN BUYS VALUABLE TRACT GETS POSSESSION OF CART-WRIGHT PLACE AT MONTGOMERY Negro, Summer Colony Tract Consists of 12 Acres Which will be Sub-divided into 65 Large Lots—Situated on Vernon River and 400 Feet from Street Car Line. A real estate deal which will probably be of much benefit to the Negroes of the city is that which was consumed this week by G. H. Bowen in which he purchased the Cartwright place at Montgomery, Ga., a tract consisting of 12 acres of land and fronting on the beautiful Vernon river. It is the purpose of Mr. Bowen to sub-divide this tract into 65 large lots and to establish an up-to-date summer colony for Negroes. This property is admirably situated for this purpose as it is but 400 feet from the Montgomery street car line and fronts on a paved road way leading to the city. The property is an unusually beautiful piece of land and has a flowing artesian well which will afford an ample supply of excellent water for the entire tract. There are on the property about 100 pecan trees, in bearing, besides a number of massive oaks and beautiful palmetto trees. Mr. Bowen who is known as the "real estate man," is the leading Negro real estate dealer in the city and a man of unusual push and energy. It was he who "cleaned up" the lots in Central Park, a valuable subdivision about 4 miles on the White Bluff road, after several well known real estate men proclaimed it unsaleable and by virtue of which sales Central Park Normal and Industrial school was erected by the company owning the sub-division. Mr. Bowen has also sold 300 lots in Cann park, a sub-division situated at the end of the Battery Park car line. Aside from these well-known sales Mr. Bowen has sold scores of improved properties in and around the city. His office in the Wage Earners bank building, is one of the finest real estate offices in the city and his renting department in which he employees several collectors to look after the hundred odd houses he has in charge, is well managed and is growing in size every month. Mr. Bowen is a director of the Wage Earners Savings Bank, the largest Negro banking institution, in the country; and president of the Union Development Company. PROMINENT BAPTIST VISITOR Rev. Richard Carroll to Confer with Baptist Ministers Rev Richard Carroll of Columbia S. C., will possibly spend tomorrow in the city, and will confer with the Baptist ministers of the city at their regular meeting on Monday morning. The meeting is a very important one and each Baptist minister should be present. Rev. Carroll is one of the most noted divines in the country, and comes nearer filling Booker T. Washington's place in the confidence especially of the whites or the South than any other man. Rev. Carroll is engaged in the Baptist Home Mission Board work, as an evangelist. His visit will do much to inspire the Baptist cause in the city. REV. GOODALL AT On tomorrow afternoon at 8:30 o'clock Rev. T. Jefferson Goodall, will speak at the Imperial Club, Oglethorpe avenue and East Boundary streets. The public is invited to come out and hear him.

Wright, secretary. WILL RECEIVE GUESTS Mr. and Mrs. William Griffin will receive their guests at their new home. Sunday afternoon, December 19, from 2 to 6 p. m., 1012 Henry street, west. Springfield Terrace. PAGE TWO A New Use For The Afternoon Gown The More Dressy Costumes are Suit- able for Indoor Skating As Well As Simple Models VELVET AND VELVETEEN POPULAR New York, December 15—With dancing still a popular pastime, indoor and and out-of-door skatting becoming a fascinating fad each day, new clothes are constantly in demand. The indoor skating frock might consistently serve as well for afternoon tea, bridge parties and similar daytime affairs, or it may be as plain as the fancy dictates. Indoor Skating or Afternoon Brocks Sleeves and collars are the distinctive features of these costumes. Whether for afternoon or morning wear the collar is high; not necessarily of the choker type, for many a collar high in back are open in front, affording the comfort of the open throat and the chic of the high neck dressing. When the choker is used it is boned as of old, and usually finished around the top with a drill, ruch, circular band of chiffon. © MI CALL Fur Trimmed Black Velvet plecot-edged, or a narrow strip of fur. On one of the new Paquin models of black satin and velvet the high collar is stopped with a two inch wide circular flounce of chiffon. While trimming are not elaborate on these gowns, still there are many little details which offer the clever woman with individual ideas a chance to make good use of them. Cloth-covered buttons, silk covered buttons, in self-tone, or a color that harmonizes, are being used to trim both dresses and suits of the more dressy as well as the simple types. Both long and three-quarter length sleeves are used in daytime dresses; when the three-quarter length sleeve is used it is cut very full and flares away from the forearm gracefully, with very much the effect of the old-fashioned flowing sleeve of grandmother's day. Favored Colors and Fabrics While serge and gabardine are still the fabrics favored for the more simple suits and dresses, velvet, velveteen and broadcloth are the dressy materials. Braid, button and fur are the trimmings that bring out the rich effect of both of these materials. Of course there is nothing richer than black velvet for street and afternoon wear; a charming indoor skating frock of skunk-trimmed black velvet, worn at one of the more popular of the hotels recently, caused many an eye to follow the graceful skater with her bright hair and huge bunch of purple orchids. For skating, as well as for dancing, pantalettes are practical and comfortable; these are being put out in all shades to match suit or frock; the simplest of them have merely a frill or two around the ancles in the same color and material as the garment. Small Hats for Dancing and Skating For real comfort, both in dancing and skating, the small hat is necessary. This is usually a bright contrast to suit or frock; for instance, there is a charming shade of brick red that is much favored with blue serge and blask velvet dresses and suits. A bright currant velvet is also favored, and bright coral too is attractive for those who find the shade becoming; and for the more conservative there are wonderful blues, golden browns, and other dark, rich shades which will harmonize beautifully with broadeloth, satin, velvet, taffeta and the other daytime materials. Malines in high standing ruches, bows, rosettes and folds is being used considerably for these small toques. Gold net or lace toques, with frills of dark brown or black net or malines, wired into shape, are especially effective for both afternoon and informal evening wear. Quaint neck-fixing often accompany these smart little hats; an upstanding frill or two of the malines to match the hat. banded through the center with a narrow fold of velvet or satin corresponding with the frock, form becoming neck-ruchs and affords an ef- © MCCALL Braid Trimmed Gabardine fective finish to the costume. Other Interpreting Details. The belt is still a feature of both suit and frock; while belted effects in general have been done to death for the past season or two, still an attractive belt is a convenient and becoming finish to dress or suit, especially with the growing favor of the rounded waistline. Many of the one-piece princess frocks, and many of the Russian models also, show this treatment—a fitted portion at the waistline giving the appearance of a belt or girdle. It in not unusual to see a chic frock of dark blue serge with a shaped piece of chiffon inserted at the sides giving the effect of a belt; these are beaded or heavily soutached, and are of the same color as the frock, or contrasting. A belt of this kind offers an attractive way of introducing an effective bit of color contrast; for instance a dark blue, green or gray dress may be soutached in gold or black on one of the dark, old reds, blue, or greens.

The League has two fellows" in New York City and three "fellows" in Nashville, who are being trained for social work. The report emphasised that the league does not plan to do any work which is being covered by other organizations, but has been seeking to get those organizations which are committed to work of uplift among all people to consider Negroes in carrying out their program of work. During the next year the league is planning to give the benefit of its experiences in the cities mentioned above to groups of people in other cities throughout the country. Already efforts in this direction are being made in Detroit, Chicago, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Pitt-burg. It will conduct its work along the same lines as those followed during the past years, but placing special emphasis upon the work of opening up new avenues of employment to colored people and trying to induce Negroes to prepare themselves for the opportunities which Negroes now have and those which will present themselves from time to time. At the close of the annual meeting, the executive guard of the league met at which time the following officers and committees were chosen for the next fiscal year: L. Hollingworth wood chairman; R.

Let us make the most of it, . ‘The Blue Lodge is the foundation of all Masonry. Do not neglect it. Masonry and religion go hand in hand.

Mason": conduct! should be exemplary. A harmonious lodge is prosperous lodge. Strife und dissention do not promote prosperity. A Little Sermon “May brotherly love prevail, and erery moral and social virtue coment we” Oftentimes one brother may do things which offends another. Ideals are hound to yary and at times conflict; friendship of years cease suddenly be cauce of stubborn insistence upon “one’s rights” and the alleged ruffling of one's tlignity. T€ Musonry cannot cause the évasion and overlooking of the really non-es- sential, although momentarily seeming- ly all-important bits of unhappiness, it iy empty, and its claims are fale. ‘The brother who refuses to go at least hatf way to rectify misunderstandings -is unworthy of the name Mayon. We who preach harmony and then in the next breath condemn a brother are hypocrites; as we are. if we do things behind his back which may work him harm. Charity begins at home and justice, tempered with merey, must work for the good of all, in a small town, where eferybody knows everybody else, Ma- sonry is absolutely necessary. Its con- stant apliention ean preserve harmony, and the failure to practice the princi- ples will recut in chaos, hatred and zeneral unhappiness. ‘This Uttle sermon Is but a reminder of the duty we owe each other, and of what may happen if we neglect to at- tend lodge.—Exchange. Masonic books teach, in the most focible manner possible, the whole duty of man—“to fear God and keep His vemmandments”—and therefore deserve a wide circulation.

A good Ma- son does not mean a man who can give ou word for word the whole of the Masonic ritual; one who attends lodge every time it meets (thousli that helps) or one who has searched into the old decades for historical theories. but it means the man who can meet you with & true tip of good fellowship and draws you toward him, till you want to share your. joys and sorrows with hime @ Tbe Caternal feeling toward this mst Will catse you to (lo greater things in yourgeveryday Ufe, will strengthen you to meet each day’s problems as ther. confront. you. 27 \Be a 00d Mason, though you do not know the work verbatim. “To err is human, put to forgive Is divine,” was written by one who had delved deeply into the mysteries of hu- mun nature; und while it is true that we were created ‘a Httle- lower than the angels, we still haye"the blessed privilege of struggling onward and up- ward along God's way, and with His help can Lecome more nearly divine in our nature. if. indeed, we do not win the crown.” _ The Time to Meet | Noiv as to changing our time of meevt- ing.

Next Saturday will be "Merry Christmas." the day of peace on earth and good will toward men. Sweeten your life during the holidays by donating a few cents for the poor or making at least one unfortunate being happy. Another holiday season is upon us and should cause the spreading of sunshine and joy by all of us. The poor should be remembered by those of us who are the least bit better off. In your budget for next year add a column for charity. Inasmuch as one is blessed with health, strength and ability to earn at least a small salary, appreciation should be shown by contributing to charity. The manner in which the Republicans are getting together and the returning of the Progressives to the fold means that the Grand Old Party is itself again and will give the Democrats a good drubbing next November. Certain parents are more careless than ever before in allowing their children to remain out late at nights, especially the ones who are attending school. They are beginning too early in burning the candle at "both ends". The first gun in the Republican national campaign was fired on Tuesday when the National Committee met in Washington and arranged for the National Convention to be held in Chicago. June 7. Following this will be the meeting of state, districts and county committees, and then the political machinery will be in full operation. It should be the purpose of every well regulated family to prepare a budget of expenses and endeavor to live within that budget. Methods of this kind will prove very beneficial if carried thru in a practical way, and will be the means of causing the saving habit and thus imbibing the habit of economy and thrift: "Preparedness" is being discussed very thoroly by our government officials, and Congress is taking up the name. Preparedness in individuals is as necessary as that of the government and it should be the watchword of our young people. Our boys and our girls should prepare themselves in a practical way for the sterner duties of life. For the benefit of his soon-to-be wife, her family and the President's family and real close close personal friends, the President has given it out that he would not object to being called "Dr" Wilson. We opine this is a case of coming events casting its shadow before. After March 4, 1917—it will be just plain "Dr." Wilson and the President is wise now to begin to accustom himself to his old Princeton name—St. Luke Herald. I seem to climb a hard, ascending track. And just behind me labored one whose patient face was black. I pitied him, but hour by hour he gained up the path; He stood beside me; stood upright, and then I turned in wrath, "Go back," I cried. "What right have you to walk beside me here? For you are black and I am white." I pause, struck dumb with fear, for lo the black man was not there. But Christ stood in his place; And lo, the pain, the pain the pain that looked from that dear face. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox Under the head "What to do With the Boys", the Christian Recorder says that "One of the most discouraging features of family life is the boy between fourteen and twenty-one. More boys go to ruin, or lay the foundation for their ruin at this age period than at any time. If a boy can be safely guided over this time of life before he has sowed the seed of destruction, the chances are that he will continue during the rest of his life to conduct himself helpfully and honorably. In the small towns and the big cities the boy problem' is ever with us" "One of the best things to do for the boy at this time is to put him to work. He has almost boundless energy, a fertile imagination, no little daring. He needs occupation twenty-four hours a day. Happy is that father who can arrange for his son eight to ten hours sleep, four to six hours study, two to six hours of work and the balance in wholesome recreation. Of these we regard work as the most necessary. At this age the boy ought to develop definite interests. His whose soul should be directed toward serious things. He should be taught the value of time, the value of health, the value of truth. Since the idle brain is the devil's workshop, his brain should never never be idle. "If we ask the reason of shiffless husbands, it is to be found in idle boys, whose mothers permit them to loaf, and run in gangs, who learn the leafing habit at the drug store, only to put it in practice at the saloon when they get older. "In every small town the boy should be the gardener, and should raise a large amount of the vegetables of the family. This will teach him responsibility, and economic values. Any boy of fourteen can not only go to school, but at the same time make a good crop of vegetables. Yet many of our families neglect it; and their boy-run wild. "Give the boy a garden; let him be as close to nature as he can; it will make him a better man." Unfortunately people in other sections of the country sometimes use up some of their idle time in saying the South is "not doing its duty by the Negro," especially in regard to industrial education. It is to be regretted that they are suffering from the same degree of ignorance which they contend the South is imposing upon the colored population. Could these critics spend a little time in delving for the truth in Georgia, they would find that those for whom they plead would be the first to grit attention to the earnest and sincere efforts the state is making for the benefit of the race. An announcement yesterday which supports all this was that the Georgia State College of Agriculture has concluded arrangements to send a "school on wheels" into every part of the state for the education of Negro farmers, that they may learn to improve the agricultural conditions under which they labor. Some of the most prominent practical educators of both races in the state will be with the traveling exhibits and deliver lectures. Georgia does not talk very much about what she is doing for her colored population, but it embraces all that her finance will permit. The results speak for themselves. The above editorial appeared in The Savannah Morning News. It is not our purpose to detract in the least or show less appreciation of what our white friends have done forms, but we feel that the News is too fullsome in its article and crediting Georgia for much more than it is doing for the Negroes. The editor of the News may not know that this institution was not established voluntarily by the state, but after threats were made to take away Federal educational appropriation if a college course was not provided the Negroes. It may not be known that the $8,000 appropriated for the use of the college comes from the United States government and Georgia has not in recent years given one penny towards its support. It may not be known that Georgia has in its coffers $24,000 that have been withheld from the Negroes for nearly twenty-five years. It may not be known that Georgia maintains twelve agricultural colleges, besides the State University and other institutions of learning in the various parts of the state, but that it gives not one penny for the higher educating of the Negroes, industrially or otherwise. It may not be known that in certain sections of the state the public school system for the Negro is very meager and two and three months of school are about the limit. What we are getting we appreciate. We feel grateful to such broad-minded gentlemen as Gen'l P. W. Meldrim, chairman of the commissioners of the Georgia State Industrial College, Judge Samuel B. Adams, president of the Board of Education of Chatham County, and others who have shown their interest in and friendship for us on more than one occasion. If it were left to such gentlemen as these, the educational facilities for the Negroes in Georgia would be greatly improved, and instead of there being about four thousand Negro children unable to secure seats in the public schools of Savannah alone, this appalling number would be wired out. We do not want to appear as being ingrates for what is being done for us, but we hope that conditions will be greatly improved in the near future.

Williams, respectfully submit the following resolutions: Whereas, on Sunday morning, November 21st, 1915, the spirit of our honored and beloved associate and coworker, Deacon Geo. S. Williams, was wafted away from this mundane sphere to that celestial realm, there to-hask itself in the heavenly sunshine of the great munificent God, who said thru His Son, that the giver of a cup of ordinary drinking water to one of His --- THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE children in need of such, in no case would lose his reward; and Whereas, during the many years of acquaintance and association with our deceased co-worker in the vineyard of our Heavenly Master, as an officer of his church, we found him at all times under all conditions, ready and willing to lend a hand to those whom he felt needed his service. Our deceased brother was kind, yet firm: humble, yet manly: docile, yet brave. We, as his brother officers, whom he has preceded into that goodly land to which we are all striving to go, greatly deplore his taking away. But realizing, as we do, that there must come an end to all things earthly, therefore; he it Resolved, that we, the Board of Deans of the First Congregational Church of Savannah, Ga., how humble submission to the will of our Heavenly Father, who is too good to do wrong and too wise to make a mistake. Resolved further, that, as a token of our respect to the worth, service and godly counsel of our late brother land to express in a faint way our heart-felt sympathy for his elevated wife, we, his co-workers, who know best of his inner Christian-life, desire that these resolutions be printed in The Savannah Tribune, as well as spread upon the minutes of the church for which he worked so hard and so long, and a copy sent to his devoted wife who stood by him so patiently and lovingly during the days, yet, weeks and months it pleased the Almighty to lay upon him the heavy hand of affection. RESOLUTION In remembrance of our beloved friend and brother, Mr. H. A. Brown, who departed this life on August 23, 1915. Whereas, Almighty God, omnipotent in majesty in the disposition of His wise providence, has seen fit to remove from our midst our beloved brother, H. A. Brown, We, the Y. G. E. A. and S. C. beg to submit the following: Whereas, in the midst of our rejoicing over the progress we have made and over the victories of the past and our ardent hopes of a brilliant future, the cold, damp shadow of death streams across the beautiful picture and we pause to sing a requiem to the dead. But be it Resolved, that our loss is his gain. Be it. Further resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be spread over our minutes to his memory, also that the club extend its sympathy to his wife and child in their bereavement. Friend of my better days. None knew thee but to love thee None name thee but to praise. He has gone to the realms of the blest Where sorrow can reach him never.

IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our dear mother and grand-mother, JANE HULL, Who died December 19th, 1909. "O whisper to me, we shall meet again; Be still my wistful heart, Why should I rather in this vale remain, If when I shall depart and pass From earthly scenes and mortal ken, I know by faith that we shall meet again." "O praise His name! yes we shall meet again, Meet on the other shore, Where heavenly hosts shall sing, The glad refrain of joy for evermore: He yet shall reign the Lamb, That once was sain, The day draws nigh, When we shall meet again.

A. building was pulled off at the City Au- ditoriuis last Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock by one of the largest and most enthusiastic crowds that ever assemb!- «l for thin purpose.

Lesson Xt, — Fourth Quarter, For Dec. 26, 1915. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Hos. xiv—Quarterly Review—Golden Text, Ps. ciii, 3. «Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. " Stearns. Lesson Elijah iu Naboth’s vine- yard, I Kings xxi, 11-20. Golden Test, Num, saxii, 23, “Be sure your sin will find you out." The wicked may act as if they owned this world aud may oppress aud even hill those who seen to have no helper, bat “He that is higher than the highest reardeth, and there be higher than they” (ccl, +S). The blood of the righteous Abel cried unto God (Gen. Iv, 10; Matt, sviti, 23) | Lesson IL—Llijah then up into! heaven, 1 Kings il, 1-12. Golden Text, Vs. avi, 11, “In ‘uy mesence fy full ness of joy, in ‘Thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore.” It isiepe- cially helpful In this lesson to nor the devotion of Elisha and how he stead- fastly clung to Ljab and received that whieh his heart desired. ‘The two golng on together suggests how we may walk with God if ‘we will, Lassox IL—Elisha heals Naaman, ‘the Syrian, 11 Kings v, 1-14. Golden ‘Text, Ex, av, 2G, “Lam Jehovah that healeth thee." A little Captive maid and at great man of God used to inag- nify the God of Tsracl in the heating of Naam, the great man of Syria, who was a leper. Naaman had thoughts as te how he should be beal- ed, but they were vain. Hunility and obedience me essential. ‘The gifts of God cannot Le bought. Lassoy IV.—LElisha’s heavenly de- fenders, 1 Kings vi, 8-17. Golden Test, Ps. axaly, 7, “Phe angel of Je- hovah encampeth round about them that fear [Him and delivereth then.” Vain are the effurts of man against a child of God unless God permit, He Aelivered the hing of Israel from the king of Syria by His servant Disha. He delivered Elisha in a wonderful way by sending blindness on those who sought him. Ue caused Elisha’s ‘servant to sve the angelic hosts, | Lesson V.—The boy Joash crowned ‘king, IL Kings xi, 4-12. Golden Toxt, Prov. afv. 11, “The house of the wicked ghall be overthrown, but the tent of the upright shall tlourist." | ‘This fs an- other instance of Leavenly care and preservation and of God watching over iis Wond to perform at, ror if all the } seed royzl had been slain the Word of God to David would have failed. The preservation of Joach was to preserve the line of David. Ged uses buman agencies. e L¥ssox VI-—Joash repairs the tem- ple, I Kings vii, 115. Golden Test, U Cor. ix, 7, "God lover a cheerful siver”’ Roth the tabernacle and the temple Safd (hat God was in the midst of His people, and neslec. to the tem- ple was an insult io a Athaliah bad treated the temple With the same cou- | tempt that she treated Ged, but Joash obtained funds in the appointed way } by Willing offerings and repatred the temple and restored the worship. /“Lussos VIL—Daniel in the king's court, Dan. i, 8:20. Golden Teat. 1 Cor. xvi, 13, “Watch ye. stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.” Here is, the purpose of heart which }glories God and obtains wisdom be- yond ll human wisdom; : purpose to be oue of Goil’s undetilel ones who walk in His way (Ps. cxix, 1); a man who would stand calmly before kings because He stood before God. Lrssox VI1L—Jonah a missionary to Nineveh, Jonah iii, 1-10. Golden Text. Matt. xxviii, 19, 20, “Go ye therefore. ** and lv. I am with you always. even unto the end of the world.” A striking lesson on God's unwilliignes: that any should perish, and His dif. culty in tivding willing messengers: also the great results frem preaching the message He bids us, then the fore shadowing of the conversion of nattons | by a converted Isriel. Lrssox 1X.—Aimos the-fearless proph et, Amos v. 2-15. Golden Text, Jer. xxiii, 28, “He that hath my word, let im speak, yny word faithfully.” The great need of believers is to be turned away from all idols, and especially from self, to walk wil and serve the Living God, who has revealed to us by the prophets His purpose, that we may be folly agreed with Him, Lrsson X.—Uzziah’s pride and pun- ishment, II Chron. xxvi, $21. Golden ‘Text, Prov. xxix, 23, “A man’s pride shull bring him low, but he that is of lowly spirit shall otal honor” We have seen a great man healed of lep- rosy when he was Willing to be hum- ble and obedient, but here is a, great king becowing proud aud dying a leper. God resisteth pride, but blesses bumil. ity.
