Still less often, too, has such acstrong aggregation of vocalists und instrumentalists been brought together under one manage- ment. Chautauquas have heard the Wil- Ham Singers with pleasure and delight, the Royal families, households and courts of Europe have heard the rich charm of these natural musicians, and the great showhouses of the capitols of Europe bave been packed to capa- elty audiences in a series of eusaxe- ments by them. Combining a wholesome natural xrace ‘and power. imparting a char- acteristic rhythm and motif, and the rich finesse and delicacy of thoro training and culture, their interpre- tation of the classics, as well as the éther sorts of music.

Azalia Hackley Wins New Lau.us CLASSICS CHARMINGLY RENDER- ED BY POPULAR SINGER > Other Interesting News of the Na- * tion’s Capitol. Washington, D. ©. Feb 9.—The music lovers of the nation's capitol turned out en masse last Wednesday evening at John. Wesley A. M. B. Zion Chureh to enjoy the magnificent son recital given by Mme. E. Azalia Hackley, president and founder of the Hackley Normal Vocal Institute, Chi- cago, assisted by her most promising pupil, Miss Pauline James Lee, also identified with the work of the Chi- cago Institute. As a soprano of the highest order, a teacher of thousands, 2 manager of the largest musical en- terprise known to the country, and as a philantrhopie race woman, Mme Hackley's name is known in every seetion of the land. Miss Tee, who made her initial appearance here, is a contralto of remarkable powers and an instromentalixt with enviable gitts. ‘Thovgh only nineteen, she has won a place In the front rank of her callin and undoubtedly has a great future before.her. At the John Wesley recital both artists achieved distinct triumphs and addéd many laurels to thelr al- Feud richly-laden brows. / Rarely has cosmopolitan Washington fathered into an assembly hall an au- ‘Aience Ao ‘thoroly representative of itt social, Intetlectual and cnitured taste as that fhich packed this spacious edifice Wednesday evening. The eve- wing was inclement, with rain and ‘sleet alternating far into the night, but ‘the crowd came just the same, and was amply repaid for venturing from thelr cheery firesides. Rarely have two stellar artists of the race been ‘gibeted Iwhith much spontanonos ens thusiasm and seldom, if ever, has the capitol been stfered a programme that emvracet so-muelr that inspired, thrill. ed and satisfied the musical cravings of evers Gout within the sound of their tuneful voices. | On the ndutrably-balanced bI were selections that ran the gamut of the mnsien} realm. ranging from the grand- est creations of the old masters fo the hallads of the heart and not forger- ing the “folksongs” that always stir tenderest memories of a people that have reached the “Promised Land,” but who realize that they have done so thru the severest of struggles and thru an abiding faith in the Divine to whont these plaintive melodies have gone up in pralse and pleading. ‘Miss Pauline James Tee, the con- trolto and one of the pupils of Mme Hackley, divided the honors of the evening with her famous preceptress. Tho holding diplomas from four stand- ari schools of muste, notably the Amer- ican Conservatory of Music, Chicago, hears her honors with a modesty that indicates supreme level-headedness. The country will hear much of Miss Lee in the next few years. After a visit to Trenton and to the Uordenton Industrial School in New Jersey, plans have been made to have Mms. Hackley return to Washington and train a chorus of 200 or more voices for a mammoth “Folk Song Fes- tival,” on the order of those given at Boston, Houston, Texas and Los ‘An~ geles, Cal. This affair will be under the direct auspices of the Bethel Lit- erary and Historical Association. RARER EAR ANSE AAS GU SCE AACE ETY Tuesday night was “Lincoln Night” at the Bethel Literary and Historical Association. A crowded house turned out, to participate in the exercises. Miss Marie A. D. Madre presided. The principal orator of the occasion was Prof. William Pickens, dean of Morgan College, Baltimore, and his address on “Abraham Lincoln, the man” is said to have been the most eloquent and comprehensive, of tho many public leliverances given in this section of the country.

ODD FELLOWS | CALL CONVENTION | Many Seek Positions A call has been issued by 2 num~ ber of the opposition to the Ingram- Davis faction of the Odd Fellows for a convention to be held in this city on Tuesday February 2nd> The meeting which determined the necessity of calliug the members of the order in the state together In a con- vention was held on last Saturday in Atlanta, Ga. Dr. 1 W. S, Daniels of this city acted as chairmam and R. E. Pharrow of Atlanta, Ga. as secretary. @ ‘There ure seventeen ‘names signed to the call; five of whom are Savan- nah men, eleven Atlanta, and one- of Brunswick, which shows that there were members from thirteen lodges in the state that took a part in the meeting. ‘The convention (according to the communications that are sent out) is called for the purpose of electing x board of receivers, consisting of five* to look after the affairs of the order which have been put in a pretty bad shape by the recent uctiou of the Suh Committee of Management in revoking the charter of the Georgia Odd Fel- lows and the suspension of B. S. In- gram and B. J. Davis, grand master and grand secretary, respectively. ‘The names of those who are clected to compose the board of recelvers will be presented {y the Superior Court of Fulton county of March 4th by the opposition and asked to be made per- manent receivers of the order's af- fajrs a position which is now being temporarily filled by the deposed ex- ecutive board, ,It fs expected that there will be x lively fight for positions on the board for already many names are being men- tloned and supporters of the different aspirants are busying themselves in their behalf. The lodges who are in sympathy with the movement will elect delegates to the convention in the same manner that they elect delegates to the Dis- trict Grand Lodge and it Is anticipated by those well acquainted with the sit- uation that a large Welegation will be on” hand. + How well the laid plans will work. relative to the convention, cannot yet be determined, for it has been rumor- el that the Ingram-Davis faction has attempted to take out an injunction in the courts to restrain the opposition from holding the meeting and in the meantime. the opposition has been working to prevent such actlon., If reports are true, the convention which assembles here on the 22nd will petition the Sub-Committee of Mana- sement, asking for the return of the charter and for the privileze of re organizing the district grand lodge. If it is done if is ikely that Georgla Odd Fellows will in the next sixty“or ninety days be called together for the purpose of reorganizing and straighten- ing out the affairs of the order. ‘There is already much speculation as to grand lodge officers, and several ones have been mentioned for the three most prominent places on the board. In this however, there will be a stub- porn fight. for it ix understood that a part of the Savannah aggregation favors Dr. Dunlels for grand master and R. E. Pharrow of Atlanta for grand secretary; while the Atlanta crowd Js bogsting J. H. Dent of that place for the secretaryship. J. D. Powell of this city and one of the best informed Odd Fellows in he state, Is belng urged by his friends 0 enter the race for the mastershiy: and to also accent a position ot he board of receivers that will be.elect- -d at the approaching convention. 7 ‘There are numerons other aspirants: im the field and the Sight for office will ye watched with keen interest. i On last night a mass meeting was held dt Seabrook’s hall for the pur- pose of arranging accommodations for he delegates to the ponvention.

AMONG THE MASONS The Genuine Masonic Spirit It is incontestable that Freemasonry modifies the habitual state of mind of its members and also their conception of things. This change of course, of course, is not produced all at once; it may even be said that these modifications of ideas do not manifest themselves in all Freemasons. There are brethren in whom Masonry produces no transformation of heart and mind. But the men who have earnestly and perseveringly cultured Masonic sum bolism, studied the history of the association, and practiced the Masonic life with faithfulness, perceive at a given moment that their horizon has been widened that their heart has grown, and that their ideas have been modified to advantage.—Bulletin International Bureau for Masonic Affairs. The Lambskin The lambskin, or white leather apron, is an emblem of innocence, and the distinguished badge of a Mason. You will observe it is not rounded but a perfect square and its right angles inculcate truth and honesty, the great lessons of morality. Its four equal sides are to remind the wearer that in innocence he is to practice the four cardinal virtues, temperance in word and act, fortitude in a noble purpose, prudence in wisely judging, and justice to the humble and greatest alike. Its flap is an equilateral triangle, whose three sides refer to the three attributes of God, Omniscience, Omnipotence, and Omnipresence. The two strings remind us that reverence for, and the practice of, the Masonic virtues inculcated by the apron should be bound to the heart and conscience, by double ties of love to God and man. The apron with its flap, represents the material and spiritual. The numbers of the apron's sides, four and the flap, three, constitute the sacred number, because it makes up the perfect figure of a square and triangle. The number also refers to the seven liberal arts and sciences, much revered among Masons, and which according to the legends of the craft were the foundation of Masonry. There is one peculia significance about the lambskin, and that is, it is one of the first symbols of the Masonic life, and also the last, when deposited in the grave of a departed brother. Brethren, think of the lambskin, and ponder well the great lesson it teaches.—Missouri Freemason. The Rusty Mason Did you ever hear the remark Masonic circles. "I'm too rusty. cannot work my way into a lodge. know I ought to brush up."? This lame excuse often keeps many a brother from enjoying the rights and benefits of Masonry for which he has qualified himself and to which he is justly entitled. That little feeling of pride overtakes him. He does not care to exhibit his lack of memory to a visiting committee. Or maybe he is afraid that they might suspect he is not what he claims to be. At your leisure hours you are to conserve with well-informed brethren who will always be ready to give instructions. Never fear suspicion, for an imposter would not be "rusty." It is not a crime to have forgotten.— Masonic Trestle Board. "Non-conductors of Masonry" is the apt description applied to brethren who fail to appreciate or understand the moral lessons of our fraternity.— Selected. Mediocre Men and Others A brother was complaining the other day because Masonry, as he charged, was falling into the hands of mediocrity. He claimed that the representative business and professional men were not numbered among those prominent in the affairs of the fraternity. The men who are promoting this idea was of this latter class and to the certain knowledge of the writer had not been inside of a Masonic lodge in a year. If the fraternity was to depend upon such for its maintenance and advancement the question arises as to what would become of it. We are all of us prone to criticize and the things which we criticize most are those which the other fellow does and which we never think of doing. The average business and professional man is so wrapped up in his affairs that he has little time or inclination for lodge matters and it is a lucky thing that there are those who are willing to find time for the cultivation of social and fraternal features.—Illinois Freemason. Scarcely a Masonic discourse is pronounced, or a Masonic lesson read by the highest officer or the humblest lecturer that does not teach two extremely simple and profound principles—love of God and love of our fellow man. That is the one true religion and it is the very spirit of Masonry, its light and power, its basis and apex. Upon that faith it rests; and in that faith it lives, and by that faith it will conquer, putting the doubt and bigotries of men to shame with its simple insight, and the dignity of its golden voice.—Selected. MOREHOUSE COLLEGE NEWS Atlanta, Ga.—Among the visitors of the past few days were Mr. James Jeffries and Mr. Albion Ell Smith, Mr. white man, had died, a Negro would have been held responsible for the crime. This woman while prostrated with Ruperti over her, declared that she would give it out, if he would spare her life, that a Negro had committed the assault upon her. This he agreed to, and further attacks upon her person were suspended. In the hospital, however, believing that she would die, she decided to tell the truth about the matter, and upon her statement that Ruperti committed the assault instead of a Negro, he was arrested. He pleaded guilty before Judge Soper in the Cirminal Court last week. This fact is only one out of hundreds of a similar nature where black men have been either lynched or sentenced to death for crime committed by white men throughout this country; and for this reason, if for no other, the method of lynching men without the trial by judge or jury is not only barbarous but deprives society the opportunity of getting down to the truth, so that to-day many red-handed murderers are walking about the streets of our cities when they ought to have paid the penalty of their crimes upon the gallows, or be now serving life sentence behind iron bars.—Baltimore Commonwealth.

THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE Jeffries made a very striking talk on "Efficiency." He showed very clearly the necessity of being efficient college men. Mr. Smith's theme, "Self-Mastery," was delivered very beautifully. President Hope's talk on Peace last Sunday night was very helpful and interesting.

One represents the’ emancipator of the race, the other its sage. Both have donecthat which should inspire us all, and fire our youth with pride and a desire to reach even greater heights than did their sires. All of the daily papers, many of the weeklies, the candidates for governor, the pulpit and prominent men of the state are now outspoken agabist lynch- law. [etter late than uever. The aninisters of Macon are asking for a state-wide observance of , Sunday, March 12, as a day of prayer and ser- mon against lynching. It fs heartily hoped that the request will be joined fn especially by the churches in the rural districts. Crap shooting is a game attributed aninly to the Negro, This statement is vehemently dixputed. It can be proven any Sunday by 2 visit to cer- tain sections and secluded spots in the city frequented by white boys. They can be seen indulging boldly in the game. And not only that. but a dis- atch was seen this week from Atlanta where a white girl an ardent par- ticipant in the game, was caught in 2 rald and fined by the recorded. We have no record of 2 colored girl being arrested. charged with crap shooting. The political pot has besun its hoit- ing in Georgia among the Republicans. ‘This time it is a fight for control of the party offices. ‘The old line mem- Vers of the party are favoring the re- tention of Col, W.

For years the Republicans of this state have been fighting a reduction of its representatives in the Natfonit Conyention. This fight was even car- ried to the floors of the convention which met at Philadelphia. Senator Matt Quay and his followers favored this reduction, but through the astute handling of the fight by our then Ne~ tional Committeeman, Capt. J. W. Ly- ons, who gathered around him a num- ber of stalwart. men, the reduction was fought dawn, find Georgia Republicans aloug with those from other southtrn states continued te enjoy full repre- sentation. For the first time our rép- resentation will be reiluced in the com- ing National ‘convention. This iis greatly deplored» The good 6td days of fighting stalwart Republicans are needed again to rehabilitate the party, . es One of the worthy institutions of our City, which seeks and deserves the support of all classes of our people, without regard to sex, age or religion, is our Colored Young Men’s Christian Association. Organized just a little over a year ago, this organization has sought In a small but well directed way, to dem- onstrate to our people thé = of such ‘an institution among theni. In this, it has succeede@ admirably well. Aside from the regular Sunday meet- ings held each Sunday at St. Paul C. M. E. Church, West Broad and Maple streets, which have been the means of jour people having unusually able ad. dresses from prominent laymen and churchmen of both races, the ‘associa. tion has maintained well equipped j anarters over the Savannah Pharmacy, in which its members enjoy innocent | games and amusements and from which .the publicity campaign of ‘the associa: ,tion is being waged. The association ee maintains a well organized night school in which apportunity is giver 'the ambitious of our men, both young land old, to improve their literary | qualification and thus increase not only their usefulness to society as well. Along the Hnes of athletics, the Y. [a ©.

Beginning on, Monday night, Feb- ruary 14th and extending thru Feb- tuary 18th, and under the auspices of the Ladies “Auxillary of the Y. M. C.

A notable and worthy endeavor is this on the part of the Ladies’ Auxiliary to be among the first of those who seek to put the ¥. M. C. A. Movement on its’ feet. Congratulations are in order. And while we attend them, may we express the hope that there wx be a liberal patronage of the ¥. M. C. A. fair by all classes of our citizens. The Y. M. C. A. builds men. It makes them strong. gallant and chivalric. It makes them clean. Thru its ~gency, they hecome aspir- ing. It makex the men an asset to the community rather than a liability. Surely no one can he too small or nar- row to give his patronage to such a constructive agency, There's hoping that every man, woman and child ii the ‘elty of Savannah will not only buy a season ticket for the ¥.

If you awake in the morging with a bad taste in your mouth, a dull buzzing in the ears, and a dry hacking cough, that indicates that there is some substance or accumulation irritating the mucous membrane of the throat or lungs. If the above conditions are present you may be aware that there is some congested condition of the system, which demands your immediate attention. If the lungs' tissues are strained by coughing, some delicate blood vessel may be ruptured, thus causing a hemorrhage, the same resulting in death. Be prudent and buy a bottle of "S. P." and tell your friends of its good results. It only costs you fifty cents at the Savannah Pharmacy. Mr. Arthur P. Palmer, son of Mrs. Anna Delroach of 117 W.

PARKS IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our loved one, Mr. John S. Quarterman; who departed this life February 12, 1915. Loving wife and children: Mrs. Lavinia Quarterman Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Green Mr. and Mrs. S. R. Harris Three little grands: Josie Mae Green Bernetta Green Master John E. Green, Jr. Sister, Mrs. Georgia A. Oswell Nicces and nephews: Miss A. E. Collins Mr. E. J. Collins Mr. and Mrs. Charles Nagle Miss R. E. Collins Mrs. Frances Williams In sad but loving remembrance of my loving husband and my devoted son and brother, Mr. W. J. Timmons, who departed this life February 9, 1915. As a worker she never grew tired. As a christian she lived among us. But now she has gone to the land so fair To join the heavenly choir. Respectfully submitted. Committee: Sis. Lilla Williams' Sis. Mazie H. Lloyd Sis. Mamie Davidson A precious one from us is gone, A voice we loved is still; A place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled. Dearest loved one, we have laid thee In the peaceful grave's embrace. But thy memory will be cherished. Till we see thy heavenly face. Just a year ago he left us, And our hearts were left in pain, He was anchored in Jesus Christ, And our loss is heaven's gain. Our family tie is broken, The strongest link is gone; God in His own wise providence, Has taken our loved one home. We loved our dear one dearly, But Jesus loved him best; Our home is sad and lonely, And'he is gone to rest. Farewell husband, farewell son, Peaceful be thy rest; Farewell husband, farewell brother. We must say our last. In the solid Rock of Ages He was clinging to the last. When the frightful tempest was raging. He reclined on Jesus' breast. In the lonely night of sorrow. When his heart was wrecked with pain Sunshine dawned on his tomorrow. As he boarded heaven's train. Mrs. L. B. Timmons, wife Mrs. Flora Timmons, mother Mrs. Loulsa Howell, sister Miss Bernieata Timmons, sister Master Henry Timmons, brother RESOLUTION Resolution in respect of our deceased Sister L. C. Beasley, who departed this life October 15th, 1915. We've lost a worker from our ranks. Whose place is hard to fill. She is gone to the celestial shore. Where dying is no more. Whereas, God in His omnipotent power has seen fit to send His grim reaper, death, to pluck one from us, we do how in humble submission to His will. We feel it's heaven's gain the our loss. In Sister Beasley we found an arduous and an untiring worker. She was an influential and congenial friend to all. She was ever striving for the upbuilding of the order. Whereas, we are deprived of her useful services we also bow in humble submission to the Supreme Ruler of the universe, who doth all things well, with the assurance that we shall meet our beloved Sister Beasley on the other side of Jordan, where the weary shall be at rest. Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions shall be inserted in Primrose Court No. 269, O. O. C. minutes and a copy be scout to the bereaved family, also a copy be inserted in The Savannah Tribune. Let the Henry Street Pressing Club do your cleaning. We dye to match any shade. Steam and dry cleaning is our motto. We alter your coats. Make them in the very latest style.

TUCKER LLOR AT LAW STREET SPECIALTY PAGE FIVE ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` PAGE SIX A BRITISH COLORED BEGIMENT WITH SOUTH CAROLINA BEGINNING There is one regiment in the British army which marches to the air "South Carolina Is a Sultry Clime." It bears on its appointments crossed wreaths of laurel and Carolina laurel. This is the West India regiment whose ranks to-day consist of Negroes led by white officers. The men are recruited chiefly in Jamaica. The W. I. R. has a good record for both valor and fidelity. Its origin is interesting in more ways than one, for this British regiment really began on American soil and in South Carolina in 1779, during the American war for independence. When the war ended the South Carolina regiment was removed to Jamaica, and there it was stationed at Ft. Augusta. When the disbandment of the various provincial forces occurred the Negroes of the regiment were removed to the Leward Islands and amalgamated with a body of Negroes from America already there. War began between Great Britain and France in 1795, and the South Carolina troops served in Martinique, St. Lucia and Guadeloupe. In 1795 the Royal Rangers and the South Carolina troops were formed into Whyte's regiment of foot, a name that soon gave way to that of the first West India regiment. There were 12 West Indian regiments formed altogether, but, after a Waterloo, these were reduced to six. There are now the first and second battalion of the W. I. R. It is in this way that the American state of South Carolina is linked with the famous West India regiment of the British army. The W. I. R. is credited with wearing the most picturesque uniform in the British army. It is after the zouave style. The W. I. R. uniform consists of a white jacket somewhat in shape like that worn by the guards, over this is worn a short white zouave jacket laced with yellow braid, opened in front and without sleeves. Very wide and loose blue stripes down the leg, are finished off with white stockings and white gaiters, while the red fex, ornamented with a white tassel, round which a white turban is wound, completes the uniform.—Christian Science Monitor. MRS. MOHR WEEPS AS LEWIS PLEADS FOR AN ACQUITAL Negro Lawyer, Once Football Star, Later Federal Attorney, Thrills Court by His Eloquence Providence, Feb. 3—William H. Lewis, a Negro, six feet tall, slim, upright and graceful, with a voice deep and melodious—a man who by physical courage won an enviable place as the foremost football centre in the early nineties, when he was on Harvard's eleven, and who later served as Assistant United States Attorney General in Washington, and as Assistant United States Attorney in Boston—began the summations for the defense today in the trial of Mrs. Elizabeth F. Mohr and the Negroes, Brown and Spettman, charged with the murder of Dr. G. Franklin Mohr. Lawyers and jurists from all over this small state were present to listen to him and they left saying that they had not heard such an eloquent convincing argument in years. For he carried the crowded courtroom away with him. Mrs. Mohr in Tears. Mrs. Mohr wept uncontrollably as Lewis, his deep voice ringing, swept on in his long periods, calling on the jurors to acquit her, and, of necessity with her, Brown, his client, and Spellman, who is the client of John B. Edwards, another Negro lawyer Lewis's argument had been feared by the state and it was the talk of this city tonight. He road when he charged that the police obtained the alleged confession of the Negroes through the third degree methods, and that the testimony of George W. Healis, the State's Negro witness, was a lie: he spoke softly when he said: "There is a reason why there has been no public clamor for life and liberty of man, woman or child because of this tragedy. It is because the people of Rhode Island realize that behind the man or woman who strays far from the morality which was taught them at their mother's knee there lurks and stalks forever the spectre of retributive justice. And the joy ride becomes the ride of death. "Healis was a dog," he said. "No. Healis was not a dog. There was a dog in the car on the night of the murder—a gentle pedigree dog. He would welcome his master with a wag of his tail." He was happiest in his presence because he loved him. He never bit the hand that fed him. That frateful dog is grieving for his master to this very hour. Says Healis Was Culprit. "But George W. Healis was the Beelzebub of Mars," he shouted: "He was Ananias and Sapphira and the whol infamous cathedral of clever hlars rolled into one. He was an Apache. He took the man who had paid him only a few hours before, the man who trusted him with his life, and held him and his companion on a lonely roadside so that they might be fouly and brutally murdered." The case ended with the acquittal of Mrs. Mohr and the conviction of Brown and Spellman. It is stated that an appeal will be made by Attorney Lewis in behalf of the convicted men and, if necessary, the case will be taken to the Supreme Court. THE CARE OF THE BABY-BEFORE THE BABY COMES Prepared By the Children's Bureau, U. S. Department of Labor In this series of article we have been dealing with the early life of a baby, after birth; we have not considered the equally important care of the baby in the month of his life before birth. The necessity of this care is apparent from the fact that statistics show that many thousands die every year in the early days of life either because they were born prematurely, or because they were born to weak to survive. A very large number of them lose their lives because the mother did not have proper care before they were born, or at the time of childbirth. Every woman expecting a baby should have such care as will result in the birth of a healthy and happy baby. A prospective mother needs a light, nutritious diet of digestible foods, such as she likes and her appetite demands. Fried and greasy foods, heavy puddings, and all heavy and underdone pastries, or an excess of one article should be eliminated from her diet, as well as anything which she does not readily digest. She should have a full movement of the bowels every day, and for this purpose should eat plenty of laxative foods, rather than resort to medicines. She should have at least eight hours sleep at night and another hour during the day with all the bedroom windows open, if she has no out-of-door sleeping room. She should have systematic exercise in the open air every day, spending the time pleasantly in walking or in taking some form of light exercise, except at the normal time of the menstrual period, when it is better to rest. She should be careful not to continue her exercise beyond the point when she becomes tired. She should have a daily tub or spunge bath, having the water neither hot nor very cold, and should rub the skin vigorously afterward. During the last eight weeks of pregnancy she needs special care. The nipple should have attention each day, according to directions given in a publication of the Children's Bureau called "Parental Care", which is sent free upon request to the Chief of the Children's Bureau, U. S. Department of Labor, Washington, D. C. Throuout this stage of pregnancy the mother should as far as possible be spared all forms of heavy and taxing labor, in order that her strength may be built up in anticipation of the coming demand upon it. The baby's proper development also depends largely upon the mother's condition at this time, since the baby gains half its weight in the last eight weeks, of pregnancy. Therefore, if he is to be born strong and healthy, it is most important that the mother should have plenty of good food, and be spared undue work and worry thus this crucial period. To help the mother, to afford her opportunity for rest and to relieve her mind of any burden, may entail both expense and trouble upon the family, but it will be repaid a thousand aid in the health of the mother and baby which will result from the effort, not only for the time being, but forever afterward. The mother of the exogenet baby should be under the care of a good doctor as long before birth as possible, in order that he may watch for and correct any untoward symptoms that may arise. $ \alpha $ In a city where the mother has not only plenty of private physicians, but hospitals, dispensaries and clinics at her service, it should be possible for her to have the necessary medical attention to keep her well. In rural districts where medical attention is more difficult to secure, owing to the long distance the doctor often has to travel, the mother should endeavor to see him now and then, and should send a sample of the urine to be examined, as often as may be practicable, particularly during the last three months. The pamphlet on Parental Care, already mentioned, gives advise regarding the hygiene of pregnancy, which mothers will find useful. It is exceedingly important that the alliments of pregnancy be delt with in the beginning before they develop into more serious matters. At the first appearance of swollen hands and feet, of persistent headache, of pain in any part, of hemorrhage, or of spots before the eyes, a good doctor should be called. Family Skeleton Awakens The resurrected romance of the late Edward Tracy of Troy and New York City may mean that the village carpenter's daughter whom he married secretly in 1872 has a dower interest in Manhattan property now worth $20,000,000. The properties involved in this unique situation comprise the ground upon which now stands the homes of millionaires, hotel-palaces, skys-a-piring apartment houses, theaters, factories; shops, breweries, tenements, &c. Surely this is a story of extraordinary interest. Read it in the Illustrated Magazine of next Sunday's New York World. Order in advance. A SONG IN ABSENCE That, out of sight is not out of mind Is true of most we leave behind; It is not sure, nor can be true. My own and only love of you. Almost a tear began to start; But yet as things run on they find That out of sight is out of mind. For men that will not killers be, Must lend themselves to things they see; And friends who leave them far behind. When out of sight are out of mind. I blame it not; I think that when The cold and silent meet again. Kind hearts will yet as erst be kind, Twas 'out of sight' is 'out of mind'. I knew it when we parted, well, I knew it but was loth to tell; I felt before, what now I find, That 'out of sight' is 'out of mind.' That friends, however friends they were. Still deal with things as they occur; And that, excepting for the blind. What's 'out of sight' 'is out of mind.' But love, the poets says, is blind; So out of sight and out of mind Need not, nor will, I think, be true, My own and only love, of you. —Arthur Hugh Colongh Offered for St. Valentine Day to The Tribune.

Lesson VII.—First Quarter, For Feb. 13, 1916. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Phil. ii, 111—Memory Verses, 5-7—Golden Text, II Corviii, 9—Commentary Prepared by Rev D. M. Stearns. The topic of this lesson is "Humiliation and Exaltation," and the central person is, as in all the Bible, the Lord Jesus Christ, Creator, Redeemer, High Priest and coming King. From the day that Saul saw Him and heard Him on the way to Damascus he had no eyes nor ears nor heart for any one else, as is plainly seen in some of his words in this epistle "To me to live is Christ." "Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death." "I count all things loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord. * * * that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection" (chapter 1, 20, 21; iii, 8, 10). He never ceases to speak of the gospel or the good news concerning Jesus Christ (1, 5, 7, 12, 17, 27; ii, 22; iv, 3, 15), and he encourages all who believe the gospel by such assurances as that He begins the work in them will not fall to finish it; that their names are in the Book of Life; that all their need here shall be supplied; that in the resurrection the mortal body shall be changed to an immortal body, like the resurrection body of the Lord Jesus, and that we should ever be looking for His return from heaven (Phil. 1, 6; iv, 3, 19; iii, 20, 21). As to the present daily life we must count suffering a privilege and not be discouraged even by sickness in His service, content under all circumstances and free from all anxiety, fully yielded to Him, that He may work in as both to will and to do of His good pleasure (chapter 1, 29; ii, 25-30; iv, 6, 7, 11; iii, 13). In our lesson verses we are led to consider the comfort that there is for us in Christ by fellowship with Him in the power of the Spirit. In the present conflict with the world, the flesh and the devil the only way is to run with patience, looking unto Jesus, and consider Him who endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself for us, lest we be weared (Heb. xl1, 13). If we are in Christ His God and Father is our God and Father, and He is the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort, and though we may have tribulation we need not be troubled (II Cor. 1, 3, 4; John xiv, 27; xvl, 33; xx, 17). As we consider the meek and lowly One, who said "Take my yoke upon you and learn of me," we shall be ashamed of all strife or vainglory, for the servant of the Lord must not strive (Matt. xl, 29; II Tim. 11, 24; James III. 14-16). How unseemly was the strife for greatness among the apostles on the last Passover night. Even Baruch, the scribe of Jeremiah, was told that he must not seek great things for himself (Luke xxll, 24; Jer. xlv. 5). Few seem to have attained to that fulness of grace, which enables them to rejoice in the welfare of another church, or denomination as well as their own, because they have not seen that to gather from all the world the Church, the body of Christ, is far more important than the welfare of any particular denomination or church or society. If believers had more fully the mind of Christ they would never consider their own reputation or name, but would live only to magnify Him who so emptied Himself for us. He who had such glory with the Father before the world was as we cannot begin to imagine humbled Himself to Bethlehem, and Nazareth, and Gethsemane, and Golgotha, with all that each name suggests, that all who will acknowledge their guilt and receive Him as their Saviour may become children of God and joint heirs with Himself and in due time share His kingdom and glory. To this end God hath raised Him from the dead and set Him at His own right hand, far above all power and might and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come, and hath put all things under His feet and gave Him to be head over all things to the Church which is His body (verses 9-11; Eph. 4, 2023). It is this body and bride, that other Eve for the last Adam, that is now being gathered from all the world in this age to reign with Him in the next age, when every knee shall bow to Him and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. This will be at the time of chapter ill, 21; Acts ill, 21; Rev. ill, 21, and the fitness for our taking part in it all is seen in Gen. ill, 21. He must reign till He hath put all enemies under His feet (I Cor. xv, 25), but He will not begin to reign till He has His Eve, His bride, His body, the Church, to reign with Him. We see not yet all things put under Him, but we see Jesus crowned with him and honor, waiting for them whom He is brine fitting them for it by things (Heb. ii, S-7) see and thus heavenly call; awaits us still to fill any place if only He can be; use us to win others complete His body of His marriage.

TOM DIXON ANSWERED UNKNOWN MAN UNKNOWN MAN PRACTICE OF MEDICAL AND NOVELIST, Dr. Tho AMONG THE CHURCHES A COURAGEOUS BISHOP REBUKES GRAFT Birmingham, Ala.—Before the North Alabama conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, Bishop J. W. Alstock of Montgomery who is presiding, let it be known in no uncertain language that he could not be influenced in his work by any special gifts or offerings and discouraged that practice on the part of the ministers in the conference. He told the ministers plainly that the only thing that could commend them would be faithful service to the church and race. "Making me special donations will not help at all," said Bishop Alstork. "I would rather not have them, and I cannot discourage the practice too emphatically. In the first place the preachers in a Negro conference have not enough money to be making the bishop presents, and, in the second place, the church has provided for the bishop. For my part, I am perfectly satisfied with the provisions the church has made for me, and I am expected to serve it and my God. I can neither be bought nor sold, and will not be influenced in the performance of my duty one iota by such gifts." COLLEGE PARK BAPTIST CHURCH The B. Y. P.

February 16, 1916, beginning at 8 o'clock. The Deacon's Union will be present. Rev. T. J. Goodall, of F. A. B. Church, will discuss "Christian Unity." We shall expect you to come and assist in making the meeting a grand success. Dea. M. M. Merchison, Pres. Dea. G. L. Binyard, Secy BETH EDEN BAPTIST CHURCH Beth Eden Baptist Church, Rev. N. M. Clarke pastor. Services were largely attended all day. The sermon Sunday morning was one long to be remembered. The subject was "The Message of the Cross", I Cor. 1;18. There was baptism after this service. At night the subject was, "Resurrected Man" John 11:44. Communion service was held after the regular service. It was a grand sight to see the large number of new members to be received into the church, as they stood in semicircle and yach received a bible quotation from the pastor to be taken home with him. At the Sunday school service every seat was taken and a bible class was organized. All men over 15 are asked to join this class. The B. Y. P. U. held a very interesting service. These services are getting more and more interesting. Our "Go to Church" band was organized Sunday with quite a large enrollment. Come and join us. Those who stay away from our services don't know what good things they are missing. EVANGELICAL MINISTERS' UNION The Evangelical Ministers' Union met in its usual weekly meeting, Rev. J. A. Martin, presiding. Devotional service was conducted by Rev. L. S. Jenkins. After having addressed the throne of grace the sixth Palter was read. Rev. H. M. Crittendon and Rev. C. P. Perry joined the union. The committee that was appointed to visit the play "The Birth of a Nation" made their report, which showed the glorification of the white man and the degradation of the colored man. The union sees nothing but race hatred and ill-feeling. There will be public installation at Asbury M. E. Church next Wednesday night at 8:30 p. m. Rev. Heard will preach. The public is invited. Sermonic report was given by Rev. J. L. Taylor from St. John. 2nd ST. PETER'S BAPT. CHURCH Second St. Peter's Baptist Church, 56th and Montgomery streets.

THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE BUTLER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Butler Presbyterian Church, Rev. S. T. Redd pastor.

The campaign for new pupils in the Sunday school is on and new ones are being added each Sunday. The topic at the Y. P. S. C. E. was "Christian Endeavor fidelity and force." A programme will be rendered on tomorrow night. The roll will be called and a silver offering taken. The meeting was led by Miss Florence Mitchell and Mr. Alexander Wilson. At the evening hour the text was "Run speak to this young man." The order of service: Preaching 11:30; Sunday school 3 p. m., night service 8 p. m., Y. P. S. C. E. 7 p. m., mid-week service Wednesday 8 p. m. F. B. B. CHURCH The beautiful sunshine on Sunday morning was quite an inducement to a large number to accompany Rev. Wright to Nicholsonboro where he conducted the services at the Nicholsonboro Baptist Church of which he is pastor. At the close of the morning sermon there was baptism and communion. These services were much enjoyed and after dining at the home of Mr. Brown and Mr. Grayson they returned to the city much refreshed. At night Rev. Wright read for the lesson I Thes. 5:1-15. His text was from St. Luke 5:12. The subject was "The barren fig tree." He made a very striking comparison between the fig tree and persons who are wasting their lives and never do anything for others. A very earnest prayer was offered in behalf of those who knelt by Dea. Merchison. AT THE Y. M. C. A. An unusually large number of men were present at the meeting for men on January 30th. From letters sent out to a number of churches asking that an after offering be taken for the purpose of purchasing song books for the Y. M. C. A. have resulted thus far in the following amounts being received from the following churches: St. Philip A. M. E. Church $3.00; Asbury M. E. Church $1.04; First Congregational Church $2.35, St. Philip Memorial $1.55, Second Baptist Church 2.00. Other churches are to be heard from. The Y. M. C. A. takes this method of thanking the pastors and their congregations for their interest in this matter. The attention of the members of the association is now riveted upon the coming five night fair to be staged from February 14th to February 19th, inclusive, under the auspices of the Ladies' Auxiliary to the Y. M. C. A. Y. P. S. C. E. INSTALL OFFICERS The Officers of the Young People's Christian Endeavor of Butter Presbyterian Church were installed on January 30th by Rev. S. T. Redd. Dr. J. W.

Text of the Lesson, Acts iv, 32, to v, 5 Memory Veres, 34, 35—Golden Text, I Pet. I, 22—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The tople of today's lesson is "The Christian Brotherhood at Jerusalem," but as half of the portion assigned tells of the failure of that brotherhood in the case of Ananias, and we have no further study in chapter v, the re mainder of the chapter being very important, it would seem wise to devote most of our time to the further testimony of Peter and its results. The one heart and soul of the believers and the common fund from which all were helped was certainly a beautiful brotherhood, but the deceit of Ananias and the murmuring of the Grecians rather spoiled the harmony. The self life which remains in the believer and the deceit and wickedness of every human heart makes it next to impossible for even the smallest company of Christians to be of one mind very long about anything. If all could be fully yielded and have no will but His, no self pleasing and no pride or ambition it might be possible. Because of human frailty I cannot use the "with one accord" in our prayer service, but invariably omit it. While Barnabas, the son of consolation, sold his land and laid the proceeds at the apostle's feet, it would seem that his sister Mary, the mother of John Mark, kept her home and had the believers meet there for fellowship and prayer (Acts xil, 12: 'col, iv, 10). We must not follow others in what they do, but each for himself say, "Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?" Ananias and Sapphira did not need to sell their property because others did it, and when sold they did not need to bring all the proceeds. Their sin was in their professing to give all, but keeping back a part, and thus lying to the Holy Spirit. God is the God of Truth, the Spirit is the Spirit of Truth, and Jesus Christ is the Truth. They desire truth in the inward parts (Ps. 11, 6), and night else is a grief to them. If all deceivers and liars were dealt with as these two were, what a lot of funerals there would be and what a thinning out of church members! It surely becomes us all to pray the prayer of Ps. xxxlix, 23, 24, and to aim at nothing less than an honest, whole hearted surrender to Him who has bought us with such a great price. In verses 12-16 of our lesson chapter (chapter v) we see the risen Christ showing Himself alive by signs and wonders and healings through these human channels, and multitudes of men and women believed and were added to the Lord (verse 14). It does not count for anything to be added to a list of church members unless truly added to the Lord. He said, "Every plant which my Heavenly Father hath not planteth shall be rooted up" (Matt. xv, 13). The power of God so stirred the adversary that his followers were filled with indignation and laid hands on the apostles and put them in the common prison (verses 17, 18). The Lord in Heaven was watching over His own and sent a messenger from heaven to open the prison doors, bring the prisoners out and send them to speak in the temple the words of life. When the morning came there were no apostles in the prison, but they were found in the temple teaching the people, and the high priest and council and senate being assembled, the officers found them and brought them and set them before the council. Now, for the second time, Peter has the privilege of honoring Jesus Christ before this august assembly. The high priest asked how it was that when forbidden to teach in the name of Jesus Christ they had persisted in doing so and had filled the city of Jerusalem with their doctrine. That was a good testimony to the zeal of the apostles in their devotion to the Lord, for it would be difficult today to find a city filled with their doctrine. It sounds strange to hear him say that the apostles intended to bring the blood of Jesus upon them (verse 23) when they themselves had said to Pilate, "His blood be upon us, and upon our children" (Matt. xxvll, 25). Peter was very clear and decided in accusing them of killing Jesus Christ, and now for the fourth time he repeats it (Acts 11, 23, 24; 111, 14, 15; 1v, 10; v, 30, 31) and more often asserts the fact of His resurrection. As to obedience, there is only One to obey—"We ought to obey, God rather than men." As in the case of Daniel's friends, there was no room for argument, but simply a matter of right or wrong, and the wrong they would not do. Peter did not hesitate to declare that the risen and exalted Prince and Saviour would give even to them repentance and forgiveness of sins if they desired it and said that the Holy Spirit stood with them in this testimony (verses 31, 32). Peter's testimony so angered them that they were ready to kill the apostles, but the counsel of Gamaliel saved the situation, and after beating the apostles and repeating the command not to speak in the name of Jesus they let them go. They went forth rejoicing to be counted worthy to suffer shame for His sake, and daily in the temple and from house to house they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ (41, 42). This is the fearlessness and devotion we all need. WHOLESALE AND RETAIL Fruit and Commission Merchant 303 ST.JULIAN WEST AND 23 JEFFERSON ST E.
