AWARDED SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS
NEXT MEETING OF BAPTIST CONVENTION TO
Vicksburg, Miss.
- Convention to be Held June 14th to 19th Largest Meeting of Body Expected
Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 25th—Announcement was made here today that Vicksburg, Miss., had been selected as the place for the eleventh annual session of the Sunday School Congress of the Baptist churches. The dates of the meeting are to be from Wednesday, June 14th to Monday, June 19th. In handing out this statement, the secretary of the congress, Henry A. Boyd, says that it was only after much deliberation that the congress management was able to determine which of the cities bidding for the meeting really offered the better proposition. Invitations from Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati, Ohio, Oklahoma City, Chicago, St. Louis, Nashville, Chattanooga, Knoxville, Shreveport, Austin Tex., and Vicksburg. Miss., were received. That Vicksburg won over the others is explained by the secretry in a statement issued saying, that Vicksburg offered the best inducement and the most flattering invitation, and that Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma joined in with Vicksburg in extending the invitation for the meeting.
The Sunday school Congress has met in such states as Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Florida Tennessee and Mississippi. Its going back to the state of Mississippi makes the second session to be held in that state, it having met prior to this in Meridian. The Sunday school workers throut the country are to be notified at once and the selection of representatives from the various Sunday schools is urged by the congress secretary. Several of the states, namely, North and South Carolina and Virginia have already begun the selection of their representatives, so it was learned from Sunday school congress headquarters. The chairman of the congress, Dr. C. H. Clark, who has been spending some time in Hot Springs, declared that the largest delegation in the history of the movement would be rolled up at Vicksburg. The invitation of Vicksburg is supported by some of the leading churches of Mississippi and Vicksburg and by the business organizations of that city, which is noted as a city of scenery, located on the banks of the Mississippi, easily reached by rail and water.
AT THE Y. M. C. A.
Sunday's programme at the Y. M. C. A. was no exception to the usual high class and interesting exercises held by the association at each of its Sunday's meetings. The two addresser by Prof W. D. Tibbs and Mr. R. E. Fennell Savannahian, who has served recently in the Dardanelles under the British flag, were excellent. Meetings during the week at the Y. M. C. A. headquarters by members of the Ladies Auxiliary and the board of directors of the Y. M. C. A. showed that plans for the fair to be given in the interest of the Y. M. C. A. building fund were now well under way. The fair will begin February 14th and extend to February 18th, inclusive. Already the lodges and secret societies of the city as well as the merchants, both white and colored, are contributing to the success of the fair.
On tomorrow at 5 p. m. at St. Paul Church, West Broad and Maple streets a special meeting for men will be held. There will be a general discussion upon the subject, the Y. M. C. A slogan, "a home for our association, and what it means to me."
CARD OF THANKS
Miss Oneita Haynes and Miss Hagor Haynes wish to thank their many friends for the beautiful floral designs and sympathy in the death of Miss Oneita Haynes's mother.
MR. BONNETT A DEMONSTRATOR FOR BACHE MOTOR CAR CO.
Mr. Charles M. Bonnett one of the best known chauffeurs in the city, is demonstrator for the Bache Motor Car Co., located on Liberty street, east. This company handles the widely known and highly rated motor car known as the National, the agency for which has been recently taken up by the Bache company.
World Famous Negro Troupe to Appear here at Liberty Theatre, Feb. 14th
Winning the generous compliments and praise of the American musical public inspired the famous Williams singers go across the high seas and captivate the cities of Europe. Pronounced everywhere the best aggregation of its kind, this company of clever musicians was everywhere greeted by large crowds. There repertoire of music covers a vast and popular range extending from the old-time ballads to the musical classics and embraces a variety of so-called popular and secular ballads.
Unlike some concert singers, the artists have dignified concert singing by elevating and refining the art, and lifting the people up to the proper place of appreciation. Hardly would they have had their regular work at chautauquas if their work had not been of a very high order.
Embracing a coterie of eight soloists, four male and four female, and grouping these into duos, trios, quartets, sextets etc, out of each of which some particularly interesting harmony and musical effect is secured, these singers are able to furnish a delightfully pleasing engagement. Governors Hanley of Indiana, and Hoch of Kansas, Willim Jennings Bryan and many of the great public men have recommended the William Singers as in every way, worthy of the profession they ply and the people to whom they cater. No one in Savannah can well afford to miss their one appearance in this city. There can be no better investment in wholesome amusement.
General admission will be 25 cents. Reserved seats will be 50 cents and school children will be admitted to the balcony seats for 25 cents. Seats on sale at Scott Bros' store. See seat diagrams at Scott Bros.
PRESIDENT URGES INDEMNITY
Washington, D. C.—President Wilson continues to grieve the colored citizenship of the United States by his queer attitude in all matters affecting them. He recently served notice to Bishop Walters of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church that no colored man would be appointed recorder of deeds in the District of Columbia, a place which has been held by colored men from time immemorial. A vacancy has existed for eighteen months or more and the belated announcement is just made that the position is not to be given to a colored man. During this same week he congratulates Major R. R. Moton upon succeeding to the principalship of Tuskegee Institute, while ignoring altogether the death of the man whom Major Moton is to succeed.
He now follows this up by a special message to Congress advocating an ap propriation of 411020 indemnity to Greece. Austria-Hungary and Turkey on account of injury done to subjects of these countries, respectively, by mob violence in riots on February 21, 1900, at South Omaha, Neb., when Edward Lowry, a policeman was shot by John Massourides, a Greek subject whom the officer had arrested. The request is made of Congress "as an act of grace and without reference to the liability of the United States."
This special message is sent to Congress by the President during the same week that announcement is made of the lynching of 60 men and women in the south during the year, 1915. Not word of protest issued from the White House in condemnation of this terrible lawlessness. A special message from the President would center attention upon this deplorable practice and if the President could see his way clear that "indemnities" were paid the victims of lynch law in this country, the practice would cease.
ANOTHER WEEK AT PEKIN
Prof. Latiif, the Hindu mentalist, who has been performing at the Pekin Theatre this week, captured the audience by telling of past and present doings and things of the future, also by answering all questions. By special request of the patrons of the theatre he has been retained for another week. Mine. Josephine Toblas of Cincinnati, Ohio, who is also playing at, the Pekin, made quite a hit in her renditions of "My Calvaller."

GEORGIA ODD FELLOWS AROUSED OVER SUB-COMMITTE FINDINGS
GRAND MASTER INGRAM AND GRAND SECRETARY DAVIS FOUND GUILTY FOR CONTEMPT
Interesting Developments Looked For
Entire State Now Waiting on Next Step of Sub-Committee of Management—Courts May Pass upon Findings.
Brunswick, Ga., Jan. 21th.-The Sunday School Union meetings last week at St. Paul A. M. E. church, of which Rev. J. H. Este is pastor, were very helpful to the superintendents and teachers of the city. Sunday February 13th is "go-to-Sunday school" and all non-attendants, to Sunday schools are requested to enroll their names on some Sunday school register as active members.
The forty-ninth anniversary of the First African Baptist church began on Monday night. As the pastor, Rev. John Williams is sick, the services will be conducted by Rev. J. W. Fisher. Everybody is invited tomorrow to hear the anniversary sermon by Rev. S. C. Roberts, pastor of Shiloh Bapti-t church. An effort is being made to raise $300.00, and one is asked contribute some amount. Mr. O. S. DeRoach, the soda water man, entertained a few of his customers last Friday evening with a possum supper. He is getting ready for the summer. Mr. Carl E. Daniels, the tailor, is ready to serve his customers with a handsome line of winter and spring goods.
The members of St. Paul A. M. E. church are very much pleased with their new pastor, Rev. J. H. Este. The church is progressing nicely since his coming here, the membership has been increased and the attendance much better. The stewardesses prepared the parsonage from top to bottom for Rev. Este, making it extremely comfortable and cheerful.
Mr. William Anderson died on Thursday day of last week. He was an Odd Fellow and a devout member of St. Paul church. His death is felt very keenly throughout the city. He is survived by a wife and daughter.

MARRIED
Mr. Alfred Blake of New York and Mrs. Annie P. Robinson of Savannah were, married Monday morning, January. 3rd. They are at home to their friends at 552 Lenox ave, New York City.
The Odd Fellows of Georgia are all agog over the recent findings of the Sub-Committee of Management at its semi-annual session at Philadelphia last week. By this decision there may be a complete change in the official personne in this state. As to whether Mr. Davis will submit to the findings, is not known. At any rate many of his admirers state that in event he abides by the decision of the Sub-Committee in another year he will be reinstated, and with his perseverance, he will be able to "come back." Others sefute this and state that he is out for good. At any rate, time will develop all things.
It is expected that very soon official notice will be given as to the reorganization of the Grand Lodge; this much is anxiously awaited.
The inmates of the H. H. of Ruth are also aroused on account of the merger with the Grand Lodge.. The recent session at Athens decided to petition the Sub-Committee to continue the merger. This was denied. This means that the Grand Household will have to arrange to take hold of its own affairs.
The following is the findings of the Sub-Committee:
"Executive committee of District Grand Lodge No. 18 having been called upon to show why they should not be adjudged guilty of contempt. Answers filed and case argued. Verdict: Gravity as to District Grand Master B. S. Ingram and District Grand Secretary B. J. Davis. Punishment fixed at suspension for one year for each in the case of Ingram and Davis and case dismissed as to others.
"The petition of District Grand Household of Ruth No. 8 to continue the endowment merger was denied.
"Petition of District Grand Lodge No. 18 to continue "division meetings" was denied.
CHIEF SAM HELD BY BRITISH OFFICIALS
Plans for Negro Colony in Africa Did. Not Work Out.
New York, Jan 23.—"Chief" Alfred T. Sam, who, with a party of about sixty Negro followers, sailed from Galveston, two years ago on the steamship Liberia for the gold coast of Africa, where he proposed to set up a Negro colony, is held by the British authorities in Africa on several charges, including manslaughter, according to the wife of William Lewis of Galveston, a member of the party who arrived here to-day on the Cymric from Liverpool. She was deported upon her arrival in England.
On the voyage to the gold coast, which was reached about the middle of November, 1914, several of the passengers and crew of the Liberia died from scurvy, among them the husband of the Lewis woman. Upon these deaths is based the charge of manslaughter against "Chief" Sam, according to the woman, who added that t he promise reception had not been arranged and that the natives were apparently hostile.

NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL
Bishop Walters Appeals for Race Recognition by Democrats.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 26—Bishop Alexander Walters spent a portion of last week in the city, looking after business matters of a varied nature. Among other things, he called at the White House and left with President Wilson an "open letter" in which he urged the chief magistrate to send to the senate the names of worthy colored men for such positions as recorder of deeds and "put it up" to the senate to confirm or reject them as that august body might deem best. The bishop has made a courageous fight for the Negro from the beginning of the administration and has never abandoned the belief that at the psychological moment something of benefit to the race could be granted through the broad minded element of the democratic party, assisted by a similar element in the republican membership of Congress. Now that many months have passed, without the race receiving any beneficial results at the hands of the highest legislative body of the land, the bishop is anxious that the matter be put to a final test, and that the status of the colored man be determined, with reference to his liability as an official factor and his acceptability as a political quantity. The bishop's letter appearing in the Washington papers of last Friday, is having a wide circulation and is causing comment among all classes throughout the country.
The bishop left Saturday for New York City, where in a new days Mrs. Walterin, accompanied by their son, Hillis, will sail for Port-Au-Prince, to spend a season, both for her health and to enable the young man to familiarize himself with the French language.
The public school question is as tense as ever. There is a wide difference of opinion as to how the desired reforms can be brought about, but there is a determined sentiment that reform must come, in one fashion or another. The district commissioners have proposed some radical legislation, and the community has been thrown into chaos in the conflict between the devotees of the present system, who have been crying that a change means the injection of "politics"—as if the whole trouble has not already been too much politics—and the reformers who have been fighting for a new square deal.
There seems to be more fault found with the method of administering the existing system itself. This is the root of the effort to get rid of the system, for many have dispared of obtaining relief without upsetting the whole outfit at one swoop. The conservative element is convinced, however, that the power to appoint the Board of Education, even of nothing else is done, should be transferred from the District Supreme Court, to the commissioners. This would give a board that would be responsible to the people of the community. The existing board has practically ignored the sentiments of the citizens and has been responsible for no authority but their own.
A new board of education appointed by the commissioners will be expected to recognize the colored schools, beginning with the designation of a new assistant superintendent, and making such other changes as will yield better results and bring in a regime in which the masses have confidence. The matter is now being aired in Congress and it is hoped that a bill will be devised that will give the desired relief and insure a fair and square deal for all concerned.
New Books by Leading Thinkers
The long looked for work of Dr. C. V. Roman, the Nashville, Tenn. philosopher, physician and literateur, has appeared fresh from the press of F. A. Davis & Co., of Philadelphia. The book is handsomely bound and contains nearly 500 pages of valuable information and sound arguments touching the race problem, from the standpoint of a scholar and a man of affairs. The book is called "American Civilization and the Negro," and bids fair to be one of the best sellers of the year. Another book that will be published in February is "The Historical Hand-Book and Illustrated Directory of the General Conference of the A. M. E. Zloh Church," by Rev. Jesse B. Colbert, chairman of the committee on entertainment of the General Conference, that is to assemble in Louisville next May. The book is to be a forerunner and guide to those interested in the Zion church and who are likely to be in attendance upon

Jubilant Predictions of an Easy Triumph for Presidential Candidate a Mistake.
By HENRY L. STRODDARD
Many Republican politicians, in safely Republican states, governed wholly by environment. are jubilantly predicting an easy triumph next November for their presidential candidate, whoever he may be. This is particularly true of Republicans in New York, where the party has won back since 1912 the governor, the legislature and a majority of the congressional delegation. They seem to forget that the bad record of the Democrats at Albany had much to do with the Republican come-back in this state, and that you cannot nationalize the local situation.
New York leaders of both political parties always try to do this and not until they are bumped in their respective national conventions—as nearly all of them have been at one time or another—do they realize that, after all, the Empire state is only one of forty-eight states in the Union, and not always the most far-seeking one at that.
As the matter stands to-day, our forty-eight states, based on the 1914 elections, are pretty evenly divided in political sentiment. The Democrats are still in control of a majority of them, both locally and nationally. There are twenty-nine Democratic governors no win office, against eighteen Republicans and Johnson in California; there are fifty-six Democratic United States senators at Washington, against forty Republican; there are twenty-four states that have a Republican majority in their Congress delegation against twenty one with a Democratic majority of congressmen and three states—Nebraska, Utah and West Virginia—that are evenly divided in that respect. In Congress as a whole, the Democrats have 236 members, the Republicans 196 and the Progressives 7.
Ground to be Regained
These figures clearly prove that there is still a good deal of political ground to be regained by the Republicans next November, even to secure a scant control at Washington. Republicans are far from the comfortable majorities they enjoyed as a result of the 1908 elections. The pendulum has by no means swung back to that extreme. Nor is there anything on the political horizon to justify such expectation except to those who never see anything in the future other than rainbows, colored and fashioned by their own imagination. Such optimists are always going to win—until the votes are counted.
We can easily recall the confident assertions made about this time in 1914 that the Democratic majority in
markets with foreign manufactures, it seemed certain then that the country would vote overwhelmingly against another Democratic Congress. Yet it did not do. A Democrafic House is still working with a Democratic President, while the Senate Democratic majority has actually increased.
Of course, it will be said that the war, breaking out in July, saved the Democrats in November. That is subsequently true, and it goes to prove the futility of political prediction. Something is always happening to change the situation. The same war that saved the Democratic majority in 1914 is still being waged in 1916, and no man is wise enough to foresee now how it will affect the voting next November.
Majority Hard to Overcome
Majority Hard to Overcome
The cold fact is that only a tilda-wave victory would wipe out the Democratic majority of 16 (56 to 40) in the United State Senate, and a Republican president with hostile Senate to thwart him would not be particularly effective. He could not change a single tariff schedule, for instance, could not modernize the trust laws, and could not change the personnel of the national administration. For the Republicans, to fall to get the Senate, even they win the presidency, would merely mean to keep the two political parties in their trenches at Washington for two years more, firing vocal bombs at each other and demoralizing the country during a most critical period.
The real test of a Republican triumph next fall, therefore, is not the election of a Republican president. It is to overturn the Democratic majority of 16 in the Senate. It may be possible that "any, good Republican," as the saying goes, can squeeze thru with a Republican majority in the electoral college, but it is not possible that such a commonplace candidate could swing enough additional strength to elect Republican successors to nine Democratic senators. Yet that must be done, or the victory will be futil. The availability of a presidential candidate should be measured, therefore, by his ability to unite all the voters and unify all the influences opposed to the Wilson administration in order to win in a worth-while way.
In the Senate
How difficult it would be for the Republicans to win the Senate is shown by the fact the terms of only thirty-two senators—or one-third of the senators—expire March 3, 1917. Fifteen of these thirty-two senators are now Republicans and 17 Democratic. The Republicans, therefore, will have to win 24 out of the possible thirty-two twenty-fore out of a possible thirty-two senatorships next November in order to gain control of the Senate. It requires a great deal of optimism to feel certain that it will be an easy task to

Punishment for giving short weight is far from new, and the Turks long ago took drastic measures to check this tendency on the part of trademen. The Sultan Achmet II, walking through the streets of Stamboul, saw at the door of a baker's shop the owner, his hands tied behind him, with one ear nailed to a post. Upon inquiry he was told the cause of the poor fellow's predicament. "Who is he?" asked the sultan. "May it please your highness," was the reply, "he supplies the bread for the imperial seraglio." "Ah, my baker? Then set up another post and nail his other ear to it. The sultan's baker should have a double reason for honesty."

Presidential timber of the very best
kind abounds in the Republican party.
It réquires much courage to stand
for principle, e-pecially when sentiment
the other way is great.
It behooves the Republicans of the
state to put on guard ouly those who
are stalwart and can be relied upon
when. principal is at stake.
+ The time is very propitious for a
united “front of the colored Republi-
cans of the state. In our actions, let
us.keep well in mind the treatment
aecorded us in other states.
The white ministers of the city re-
fused to endorse the petition of the
colored ministers against the reproduc-
tion of the “Birth of a Nation” in
this city. The white ministers, rather,
endorged this mischief making picture:
We are glad we cannot see this mattér
from the same angle as do our white
ministers.

white papers were outspoken against

in this respect is the Morntag News.

to note that nearly every daily paper

not clamoring for the instant in-
vasion of Georgia by Federal-fore-
es to vindicate the rights of Ameri-
can citizens. Neither Senator Fall
of New Mexico nor Senator Borah
of Idaho has made an impassionate -
plea to the Senate that the brutal
murder of five Americans by a
Georgia mob be avenged in blood
and the nation's honor upheld in
eyes of the world,

Time moves on with rapid pace, and
tis but a dream father dear. Some-
time my heart grows sad and sore, but
I thank God for this touch of grief in a
world so fullof pleasure. How often
does my heart give way to-_pain when I
think, father dear, that you have gone
and left me toreturn no more again.
But all good grits come from God and
hou the body slumbers neath the
sed the soul issate above. Thy work
is done, thy toil is one, rest thy weary
soul. Iwill not say farewell, father
dear, butIdo say I'll be sweet and

If there is anything that affords a sense of satisfaction, it is a Masonic button worn and displayed. The wearing is noticed to the world of your professions and that you pose as a just and upright citizen. In this present age a man must be on one side or the other. We have no use for the man who is always in the middle of the road, where he is usually the one run over. A man must have an opinion and he must be brave and strong enough to stand by it.
The reputation of the craft is so well known and the principles it practices should stamp him who wears its emblem as one who believes in just and upright conduct and who practices all the moral virtues. It is a badge of loyalty to the craft, that loyalty which has for its basis love, which finds expression in acts of good faith between its members and the outside world. Laaylty, one of the greatest jewels in the diadem of human acquirement. Loyalty, which shows the purity of greatness of men's souls in the hour of temptation and trial. Loyalty, which makes us true to each other and to ourselves.
While many members wear the button merely to identify themselves as brethren of the craft, we should take no exception to the fact, for if nothing else it shows a feeling of pride in the organization; that such a person is a member of such a body and proud to announce to the world that he is on one side of the road and is neither afraid nor ashamed to acknowledge that fact. It is a reminder of your professions and ever should call the wearers and others attention as well, that he is a Mason and as such should ever walk and act.
You may take all the pledges known, have illustrated the most beautiful examples, hear all the moral lessons taught, but if you do not endeavor to practice them in the every-day conduct of affairs, then you are as a sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal. So that to him who displays the button it should be a constant reminder of what he professes and that he should stand by his professions when temptations to act contrary to them assail him. The button you wear should be a perpetual reminder of the character you assume to the world at large that you should be one of the greatest of the great universal brotherhood.
The button should be a badge of disinguislment. Remember, the critical eye of the the world is on you that wear it. So conduct yourself that it is a mark of honor and disinguislment.—Masonic Voice-Review.
The newly elected officers are in the saddle. Let their motto be, "all for Masonry."
As the bee-hive is an emblem of industry, so our Masonic Temple is no place for drones.
"Masonry is not a continuation of the ancient mysteries, but an imitation of those mysteries used to teach moral truths that have been elaborated and taught for thousands of years in symbolic form. Its purpose is to impress upon its devotees the necessity of the performance of duty, obligations to be kept, and for the improvement of the mind, and to blind men closer together in the bonds of friendship and brotherly love".
Jewels of Masonry
To a large number of Masons, Masonry itself is but a set of ceremonies connected with a fraternal organization, or vice versa, having no meaning below the surface; its signs and secrets but a means of gaining admission, quickly learned and sooner forgotten; and they regard Masonry as
a harmless society which "interferes with neither politics nor religion." Having eyes to see and cars to hear, they are nevertheless content with the superficial explanation given to the candidate, and are willing to believe that ancient workmen carried their tools so shaped as to defy the laws of gravity and to disregard the teachings of common sense. To such men, the profound philosophy and the scientific psychology hidden within and beneath the symbols and ceremonies of Masonry mean nothing. And to such men these things were never intended to mean anything. To cast pearls to swine results not so much in injury to the pearls—the swine are likely to turn again and rend the giver. For the reasons suggested by this impressive figure of speech, the gems of Masonry are not displayed to the careless eye, but its truths must be sought for, carefully and long. In its symbols and ceremonies are found not only the interpretation of the great book of nature, and the purest philosophy, but there also "as in a treasury, are kept in safety all the great truths of the primitive revelation, that form the basis of all religions."—Morals & Dogma.
HEAVY PRICE
CARE OF THE BABY AFTER THE
SECOND YEAR
Prepared by the Children's Bureau
U. S. Department of Labor
When the baby reaches the third year he should be fed four times a day at regular intervals, having the heaviest meal in the middle of the day.
It is of the utmost importance to teach him to chew his food carefully and thus to take plenty of time at his meals. But since his tiny teeth can only partly masticate his food, this should be properly prepared for him. Meat should be cut into small pieces, vegetables either mashed or put thru a colander, and all the cores, skins and seeds should be removed from fruits.
He should not be allowed to drink while eating solid food, less he fall into the habit of washing down his food before it is thorny chewed, as do so many of his elders.
The following foods are recommended for children from two to three years and a daily programme is suggested for the convenience of the mother:
7:30 a. m. cereal—well-cooked oat, wheat or corn preparation; with thin cream or milk and very little sugar. Cereals should be cooked three hours in a double boiler, and flavored with a little salt when being cooked. Glass of whole milk, warmed in the cool months of the year. Eggs, soft boiled, poached or coddled. Toast or dry bread and butter.
10:00 a. m. fruits—use one orange and strain the juice, or a baked apple, and two graham crackers; or warm milk, one glass, with dry bread or toast.
2:00 p. m. vegetable soup, one tea-cupful, or meat-broth, with rice or arrowroot. Meat—beef, mutton, or chicken, broiled, roasted, or boiled; or fish, cut into small pieces, flavored with a little salt. Use no pepper, sauce or condiments. Potato—baked, mashed, with a little salt, butter and milk or salt and cream; or boiled rice or spaghetti, both thurolly-cooked; with butter or cream. Green vegetables—either carrots, asparagus, string beans, peas, splush, young beets, or squash, each cooked until very sort, with a little salt in the water; strained thru a colander or mashed. Dessert—apple tapioca pudding, or baked apple, or apple sauce or stewed prunes, or plain custard, or junket. Drink—water. No milk at this meal. Stale bread with butter.
6:30 p.m., bread and milk; or cereal, farina, arrowroot or wheat, or milk; or milk toast; or dry toast or bread with glass of milk.
Raw fruit juice and milk should not be given at the same meal.
Do not give a child at this age any of the following foods: Pork in any form, or salted meat or salted fish; cabbage, onions celery, radishes, lettuce, cucumbers or raw tomatoes; hot breads, or griddle cakes; sweet cakes, pastry, syrups, jellies; nuts or candies; bananas, nor any green or overripe fruit; tea, coffee, wine, beer, cider or soda water. Mothers are apt to err chiefly in the matter of sweets in feeding children. An excess of sweet food, not only upsets the young stomach but destroys partially the appetite for plain food.
Children should be taught to eat simple, well-cooked, but should not be forced to eat when they have no appetite. If a child shows a disinclination to eat some special food, which he ought to have, this should be given first at the meal, even if only a small quantity is eaten. Do not fall into the error of scolding the child at meal times, which should be one of the plea-antest hours of the day, full of fun and joy. A little judicious coaxing will usually result in the child's taking the right food in sufficient quantity.
Methods of preparing meats, vegetables and soups for young children are given in Infant Care, a little book, which is sent free to all who ask for it, address the request to the Chief of the Children's Bureau. U. S. Department of Labor, Washington, D. C.
UNEASY AMERICA
By WALTER LIPPMANN
Growing discomfort has been manifested in America during the past few months. It has taken different forms, but the effect of it has been to center a great amount of criticism on the President. If all the complaints were drawn up in a list we would find that pacifists, militarists, radicals, conservatives, friend of the allies, German-American, aggressive Americans, nationalists and internationalists were in varying degrees disgruntled. They disagree violently among themselves, to be sure, but they are curiously agreed in not liking the part played by America in the war. The sense that we have been found wanting has impressed itself among an increasing number of people. More feel it, I imagine than are willing to confess it. Many
feel it who resent bitterly the self-abusement of those who go to Europe to proclaim the sordid cowardice of Americans at home. Many feel it who, detest the snobbery of those Americans who entertain foreign visitors by telling them what a miserable people we are. Yet stripped of its funkyism, its colonialism, its plety for the fatherland and its party politics, the feeling persists that we cannot think with any pride on the part we have played in the supreme event of our lives.
The inner dissatisfaction is perhaps the cost important political fact of our time, and it may have extraordinary consequences. The spiritual uncertainty of America has its outward sign in a tendency to be forcible-feeble, weak and sharp, in a series of violent oscillations. We move in a series of jolts and jerks, now rattling the sabre, now turning the other cheek. And because we are unsteady and distracted, we are liable to panic at one moment and to insensibility at the next. We are aroused by Belgium and forget it, we are aroused by the Lusitania and forget it, are aroused again and again, a little like a man reeling down an alley, hitting one wall and then the other.
An explanation of it is to be had, which is at least plausible. We have lived for seventeen months the spectators of events that had no parallel in our lives. At first we were stirred as never before, and in the onset of war there was an unprecedented amount of feeling that reached out beyond our daily work. But this feeling spent itself on nothing. We have had nothing to exercise our emotions upon, and we are choked by feelings unexpressed and by movements arrested in mid-air. Nothing is so bad for the soul as feeling that is dispensed on nothing. We recognize this well enough in the school girl who weeps over impossible romances. In the old gentleman afflicted with chronic indignation. To feel and feel and feel and never to use that feeling is to grow distracted and worrisome, and to no end. We Americans have been witnessing supreme drama, clinching our fists, yet unable to fasten any reaction to realities. Ferment without issue, gestation without birth, is making us sullen and self-conscious and ashamed.
This brooding impotence drains off and waste the emotion which is needed for thought. Nothing is left us to save from reflexation in which we retreat to our oldest habits. A great purpose is said to "lift men above themselves", which means that the rush of it sweeps tribal loyalty and suspicion and pretty preoccupation before it like a great wind thrush a dusty attic. When the clan is lacking we settle back into our meanest habits and dig into them deeper.
The apologists tell us that the contradictory nature of the attact on the President's leadership is a sign that he has taken the middle course of reason. They are. I think, mis-taken. The clashing dissatisfactions are the result of no leadership. at all, a sign of disintergation, which always follows from the withdrawal of a positive ideal. When an army mutinies, different groups go off on their own, but no one calls it the result of "reasonable" generalship. When a political party breaks up into its group-interests the meaning is that the party has lost a central ideal. When a nation becomes petty and quarrelsome it is because no one has succeeded in holding it to a national purpose.
The source of our trouble may be traced directly to the President's first message to the American people, when we were asked to be neutral in feeling. We were not told to feel about anything positive, we were merely told not to think too deeply. This negative injunction was bound to fail, and the vacillation of America has ever since grown more serious. What President Wilson seems not to understand is that the enunciation of a great purpose which enlist's emotion is the only way to avoid that clashing of emotions from which we suffer. When there are a number of conflicting views the reasonable course does not consist in being negative to them all; it consists in raising a view which gathers them up, into which as the Germans say, the varied feelings are "aufgehoben." But from the outbreak of the war, the President has never said anything to which the nation might rally. He has been pushed and gouged. He has never led. And if he is beset by agitations he has himself to thank. The man who will not lead is driven.
Whether it was humanly possible for Mr. Wilson to give our neutrality a positive meaning, whether he could have laid out a programme to which the nation would have responded we cannot know. It was an expected crisis and he was caught unprepared. Perhaps it is too much to expect anything more than he has done. Perhaps only a great genius could have risen to the opportunity. But for lack of that genius American today is distraught.—In The New Republic.
THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES:
Text of the . Lesson, Acts iv, 8-21. Memory Verses, 12, 13-Golden Text, I Cor. xvi, 13-Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
The high priest and his kindred, with the rulers and elders and scribes, being gathered together at Jerusalem. Peter and John, being brought from prison, were placed before them and asked, "By what power or by what name have ye done this?" (verses 51-10). Here was provided a great opportunity to testify again to the risen Christ, and the witnesses were all ready. Whether they had much or little sleep in the prison that night we may not know, but we may be quite sure that they had communion with Him for whom they were still on earth. And now Peter, being specially filled with the Spirit, is again the messenger of the risen Christ.
The Lord Jesus had told them while He was still with them that when they should be brought before rulers for His sake it would be given them by the Spirit what to say (Math. x, 16-20), and this was one of many fulfillments of that assurance. See with what boldness Peter tells this gathering of earth's great ones that Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom they crucified, God had raised from the dead and thirt He, the risen living Christ had made the lame man whole (verse 10). This was the same doctrine they had been put in prison for the previous evening, but for this they stood fearlessly and could not say otherwise. The reference to the rejected stone takes us back to Ps. exvll. 22; Isa. xxvlll; 16, and to our Lord's reference to it in Matt. xxi, 42.
But the stone takes us farther back to Gen. xlix, 24, and onward to the kingdom (Dan. 11, 34, 35, 45). We cannot but think of I Pet. 11, 48, where he makes such full reference to the stone and the stones. With what utter disregard of their earthly greatness he said to them. "You builders can never be saved except by that stone which you despise" (Verses 11, 12). How could they help marveling at their boldness? But was it not a little strange that they should attribute it to Jesus, who had been crucified? (verse 13). Beholding the healed man and knowing that Peter and John had no power to do this, they must have been in a measure convinced that there was some truth in their testimony concerning the risen Christ. But it must not be spread farther, and the name of Jesus must not be mentioned (verses 14-15). Filled with the Spirit, they had no fear of what man might do to them (Ps. xvv1, 1), their only standard is what was right in the sight of God; and what they had seen and heard, they could not help telling even if they died for it (verses 19, 20). The messenger of God must never consider the faces of people nor whether his message is acceptable to them or not. But his motto must be, "Not pleasing men, but God, who trieth our hearts," remembering that if we live to please men we are not servants of Christ (Jer. 1, 8, 17; Ezek. 11, 6; III. 9; I Thess. 4, 1, 10).
With threatenings from these men of power and importance from a human standpoint, they were set free and went to the company of believers, who had no doubt been praying for them, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said. With one accord the believers turned to God and told Him all, but did not ask to be delivered from further persecution, rather that they might speak the truth boldly regardless of consequences, and that healings and signs and wonders might be wrought in the name of Jesus Christ. There are men in prominent pulpis today who seem not to know what the Scriptures teach concerning this present age and the coming and kingdom of our Lord. There are others who, if they know these things, do not seem ready to tell them for fear they might give offense to some important (2) people, and there are still others who once did seem to know, but now for some reason are no longer vallant for the truth. Note how those believers relied upon the living God, believed His word, quoted from Ps. 11 and xxxiii, and, like Jero miah, considered nothing too hard for Him who created heaven and earth (Jer. xxxiii, 17).
The words of Ps. ii, which have had many a fulfillment and a notable one in the days of Herod and Pilate, will have their last and complete fulfillment in the days before us, when under the anti-Christ the kings of the earth and their armies shall make war with the Lamb, but the Lamb shall overcome and the two great leaders shall be sent alive to the lake of fire (Rev. xvii, 12-14; xix, 19, 20). Every true child of God should rejoice to be on the winning side, and, though the present conflict may be severe and the enemy be permitted for a time to have seeming victory, let us continue to shout, "The Lamb shall overcome!" See in verse 31 how heaven heard and answered their cry; the place was shaken; they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spake the word of God with boldness. If we were an whole-heartedly for God as they were we would know more of His power. In verse 33 we learn that their on topic was the great fact of a risen living Christ, the same Jesus whose cries are overjoying to find His faithful followers (II Chron. xvii, 9).

128th Anniversary F. B. B. Church
BAPTIST CHURCH HOLDS INTER ESTING EXERCISE COMMEMORATING ITS EXISTENCE
The church has just finished one of the most successful anniversaries in its history. It was quite apparent that those who participated had their hearts and minds in the work. The chairman of the anniversary, Mrs. Claudia Allen, and her committee spared no pains in trying to make everything a success, socially and financially.
On Monday night, the anniversary was brilliantly opened by Rev W. A. Daughtry of Mt. Bethel Baptist Church and his choir. He read for the lesson Ps 23, text 1 Peter 4:25. The sermon was quite in-pirings: The choir sang "Oh the fire burneth in my soul." Prayer was offered by deacon Cyrus Robinson. "God will take care of me" was led by Rev. Wright. The prayer meeting was led by Deacons Robinson, Wicks and Miller. Benediction was said by Rev. Daughtry.
On Tuesday night the prayer meeting was led by Deacons Philput, Lee, and Middleton. A very sweet anthem was rendered by the choir. Rev. Wright led the hymn "A mother may forgetful be." Rev. Irby of Central Baptist Church was introduced and read for the lesson Ps 41. Prayer was offered by Rev. Green. Mrs. Mabel Harris formerly of this city but now of New York, delighted the congregation with a solo "Jesus lover of my soul." Rev. Irby's text was from Rev. 21:1 and added new zeal to all workers. "I am trusting was sung by the choir." A prayer was offered by Dea. H. B. Wright. The hymn "I heard the voice of Jesus say." Deploration by Rev. Irby.
On Wednesday night, the prayer-meeting was led by Deacon Marsh. Anthem "Glory be to God", was sung by the choir of Mt. Zion Baptist Church. Rev. Wright read the hymn "In evil long I took delight." Lesson Ps. 126. Prayer by Dea. C. L. Davis. "I dreamed of home," a solo, was sung by Miss Emma Swangin. Rev. H. D. Butler of Mt. Zion Baptist Church was introduced by Rev. Wright and from the words "Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world" he preached a soul stirring sermon. Rev. Wright read the hymn "Soldiers of the cross arise." He offered a prayer in behalf of sinners. "Does Jesus care was sung. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. Green.
On Thursday night, the prayer meeting was led by Deacons Lyons and Anderson. The anthem "I will give thanks", was sung by the choir of St. John Baptist Church. Hymn "Am I a soldier of the cross", was led by Rev. Wright. He read for the lesson Ps. 22. The anniversary prayer by Rev. Howard Smith was fervent, taking our minds back to days long passed. An anthem was next sung by the choir, "The Lord is my shepherd." Solo, How sweet the name of Jesus sounds," was very impressively rendered, by Mrs. Lula Middleton. "Music" was the subject of a very interesting paper read by Mrs. A. E. Maxwell. A very complete history of the church was read by Mrs. L. L. Allen. Rev. Wm.

"Roland" is the alarm bell in the beltry of Ghent cathedral, and on it is engraved an inscription which may be thus translated: "My name is Roland; when I toll there is fire, and when I ring there is victory in the land." The bell has been immortalized by Longfellow in his poem "The Beltry of Bruges:"
Till the bell of Ghent responded o'er lagoon and duke of sand:

A Polished Villain
"He is very popular with his wife of late."
"And him such a flirt. How does he do it?"
"She called him up the other day and said, 'Hello, darling,' and he recognized her voice and replied; 'You have evidently made a mistake. I am not your darling. I have the dearest, sweetest, most beautiful wife in the world, and she is the only woman I permit to call me darling.'"—Houston Post
New York's First Law School. Now that New York's four law schools are graduating hundreds of pupils annually, it is interesting to recall the time when New York had no law school and a local newspaper could say, "It is strange if a series of law lectures in so large a city as New York would not pay." This was printed in June, 1855, in an item which began, "Mr. George H. Moore stated at the late alumni dinner of New York university that a law department of that institution was really-created, and its professors really delivered their inaugural addresses." Benjamin F. Butler, Esq., Judge Kent and the late David Graham constituted the law faculty.—New York Tribune.

last night (Luke xxil, §), and possibly
they may have been the two who were
sent to bring the aS’ colt. They were
tho first two of the apostles at the
tomb on the resurrection morning, and
they were together the night when the
seven went a-fishing and the next
morning when Peter received hts last
commission from the Lord (John xx
and xxi). Later we shall see them in
prison together, but released by an
angel; then they were beaten, but they
ceased not to teach and preach Jesus
Christ (chapter v, 17-19, 40-42). They,
with the others, were daily in the tem-
ple for prayer and testimony, and the
Lori added to the church daily those
who were being saved (chapter i, 46,
41, E V.). On the occasion in our
lessoh as they were about to enter the
temple this man, lame from his birth
and now over forty years of age, asked
alms from them (verses 1-3; iv, 22).
‘Perhaps they remembered His words,
“Ye have the poor with you always,
and whensoever ye will ye may do
them good” (Mark xiv, 7).
“For some ‘redson Peter said to the
lame man, “Look on us,” and he looked
up, expecting to recelve something. He
may have been for a moment disap-
pointed as Peter sald, “Silver and gold
havo I none,” but as Peter promptly
added the words following in verse 4
things bégan to look different.’ Then
as he took him by the right hand and
instantly strength came to his feet and
ankle bones, so that he entered the
templo with them, walking and leap
fog and praising God, neither silver
nor gold seemed of any account to him
that day. Ho had received directly
from the risen Christ in heaven by the
hand of Poter that which neither mon-
ey ‘nor skill of man could give him,
and he thus became a witness to the
fact that the same Jesus who had for
over three years' healed all manner of
diseases and even raised the dead, al-
though crucified, was still alive and
working miracles as He had done be-
fore (verses 18-17; tv, 10). Thus the
Lord Jesus continued to work as when
Ho was on earth through these men
who wero His representatives and whe
wero channels of fe and blessing from
the fountain in heaven to the needy on
earth. He ts ever “this same Jesus,”
but where are the channels?
‘The people saw this great work and
marveled, but saw only the human
ngents und understood not. Then Pe
ter told them of the Holy One of God
whom they had denied and killed, but
whom God had raised from the dead,
and that He, being alive in heaven, had
wrought this work, In the remainder
of our Iesson chapter we hear Peter
telling them how Moses and all the
prophets had foretold that thelr Mes-
siah would suffer and be killed and be
raised from the dead and that in Him
as the seed of Abraham all the kindred:
of the earth would be blessed. He re-
minded them that God had spoken
through Moses of the great prophet
whom Ie would raise up unto them
(Deut. xviii) and that they must give
heed to Him, and, althoush they bad
not done .go, but had killed Him, De
was alive from the dead and had re.
turned to His Father in heaven and
that even now, if they would only
change their minds about Him and
turn to Him, He would forgive their
great sin and bless them and send
them times of refreshing (verses 19;
26).
One result of this discourse by Pe
ter was that about 5,000 men were
added to the company of believers, but
another result was that the priests
and the Sadducees who-did not believe
in any resurrection Inid hands on Pe-
ter and John and put them in prison
(iv, 1-). So it was and is and ever
will be till the kingdom comes, “Some
believed, and some believed not™
(Giapter xxvill, 23, 24). All we are
taught to expect in this age is that
sore ‘will believe, and our aim must
be by all means to save some (I Cor.
ix, 22). Ho 1s not expecting that all
the world will turn to Him in this
time of His rejection, but He ‘ts not
discouraged, and He cannot fail (Isa,
‘iii, 4).
In the fallness of time He will come
again to restore all things of which
the prophets haye spaken (verses 20,
21), and then when the glory of the
Lord shall be seen upon Israel the na-
tions shall come to her light and king:
to the brightness of her rising. Na-
tions shall run unto her because of
