New ideas are always given an inspiration for improvement gained. As will be noted in another column, a call has been issued for the meeting of the republican state central committee to be held in Macon, March 10 This, no doubt, will be one of the largest attended meetings ever held. The republicans of New York met in state convention this week and sounded the toesin of war on the democratic party. This state will send an uninstructed delegation to the national convention. It is understood that Justice Hughes is the favorite of this state. If young boys and girls could only understand how happy it makes their parents when they are doing well and conducting themselves like ladies and gentlemen, it acquires to us they would make a greater effort than they do to avoid evil deeds and acts. A greater part of the pleasures in this life, to parents, is found in the success of their children going out of their homes. And much of the misery is caused by waywardness and misdeeds of sons and daughters. Next week there will be held here a meeting of the Odd Fellows of the state in which there will be appointed a committee of five to take charge of the bureau of endowment of the order, and thereby assist in unraveling the complicated condition of the linkmen's affairs in the state. It is not know how large the delegation coming here from other cities and towns will be, but it is hoped that whatever is done by the convention will be done in an orderly, harmonious manner-that will redown to the credit and not discredit of the sixty thousand followers of Peter Ogden in Georgia. --- That the Allied 'charities' committee has very ably filled the duties which it was appointed for has been clearly demonstrated by the excellent entertainments which have been accredited to the committee since its organization about two years ago. Such high class, interesting and genuinely pleasing entertainments as they have offered the public more than justify the existence of the committee. It is indeed pleasing to note the first glass artists of the race along various lines, which this committee has been instrumental in bringing to our city. Thru their efforts some of the best talent the price affords has appeared here and the large attendance at their concert Monday night when they presented the well-known aggregation of singers from Chicago, attests the high appreciation in which the public holds their commendable efforts to increase the financial condition of the four organizations from which the committee's membership is drawn and to provide entertainment of an usually high order for the public. The committee has proven of great value to the community in bringing into our midst some of our best artists and their entertainment of Monday night was not only a success from a financial standpoint but pleasingly so from a musical point of view as well. So far the public has shown a fair appreciation of the committee's efforts to raise the musical tone of the community by bringing into our midst first class talent and it is hoped that the entertainers which this committee of young men brings before us from time to time will be more generally patronized. Last week we published one of the phases of our funeral customs that needs reformation. On this subject reforms are needed along several angles. Below will be found one, in an excellent excerpt from the Southwestern Christian Advocate under the head of "Forced Funeral Attendance": "The whole Southern country is greatly afflicted with a multiplicity of secret, fraternal and benevolent societies. Many of these provide for their members a sick relief as well as a small sum for funeral expenses. There are features connected with these organizations that are an outrage. On the death of a member many of these organizations require the attendance of all members, or a fine of from $1.00 to $2.00 for failure to attend the funeral. This is in addition to a funeral tax and even a carriage tax. And this forced attendance upon the funeral is unnatural and unnecessary. In the first place many persons who are forced to attend the funeral have no special interest in the deceased apart from membership in the organization which is largely based upon the idea of relief. And too this large attendance is often unnecessary, and the forced attendance works a hardship on many of those who attend. They must lose actually a day's work in order to make one of these funerals. This day's work is worth from $1.00 to $2.00. If they do not attend they must pay a fine and if they do attend they lose a day's work, and here is the outrage of the whole matter. Poor people who can ill afford to lose a day's work with large families to support, are greatly handicapped by such a procedure. What these organizations should do is to keep up their requirements to provide relief in sickness and funeral expenses at death, and to bury their deceased members by committees and small committees at that. We know one organization in the city of New Orleans among the women, whose shame has been that they actually spent more on funeral parades than they did in providing relief for the family of the deceased." LINCOLN—DOUGLASS CELEBRATION Friday night of last week, under the auspices of the Emancipation Association, a well arranged program was carried out at St. John Baptist church in honor of the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass The addresses were delivered by Prof. H. Pearson and Dr. B. W. S. Daniels. One of the features of the evening was the singing. On Sunday night Lincoln memorial services were held at the First Congregational church. The students of the Beach and the Sunday school pupils took part. The address was delivered by Prof. J. W. Husert and a well rendered paper was given by Mrs. Howland. The at ordance was large and the exercises in string. FARMERS' CONFERENCE AT STATE COLLEGE The Farmers' conference convened at the Georgia State College this week. Some of the leading agricultural authorities and other prominent men were present and addressed the gathering. The conference closed last night. INTERDENOMINATIONAL SUNDAY Under the auspices of the state and national Sunday school association an interdenominational Sunday school institute will be held at St. Phillip A. M. E. church. West Broad and Charles streets, on Thursday and Friday. February 24 and 25. The meeting will be under the immediate direction of Prof. K. D. Reddick of Americus, Ga., field agent for work among the colored people. A splendid programme has been arranged and helpful lectures will be delivered on all phases of Sunday school work by speakers of national and international fame in the Sunday school world. The addresses will be made by both white and colored speakers, as the institute for whites will also be in session in the city at the same time. All pastors, superintendents, teachers, Sunday school workers and those interested in child-training, as parents and guardians of children, are cordially invited to be present at each session. Sessions begin at 10 a.m. Thursday. PYTHIAN PERIOD The Pythian Period committee of the Knights of Pythias and Courts of Calanthe met on last Sunday afternoon at Seabrook's hall for the purpose of perfecting arrangements for the annual celebration of the order. Dr. C. E. Brent was elected chairman of the committee and Mrs. F. A. Merchison and Mrs. Rosa Hodgerson secretaries. Dr. George N. Stoney of Augusta, Ga., was selected as principal speaker. The exercises will be held at Second Baptist Church on Sunday March 26th and Mr. C. G. Jordon will act as master of ceremonies. CARD OF THANKS Mr. and Mrs. Benj. G. Denslen Jr. Mrs. Sarah Jones. Miss Anna L. Pritchard. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Riley, wish to thank their friends and neighbors for the kindness shown them during the illness and death of their baby, Master Robert B. Densler and also for the beautiful floral designs. OVERHOME NEWS Beaufort, S. C., Feb. 17.—The great religious meeting that was conducted here for the past three weeks came to a close last Sunday with the result that more than 200 were added to the enrollment of the various churches. The effect will be felt in Beaufort for some time. With Rev. T. W. Rice at the F. A. B. church and Rev. W. D. King and Mr. John H. Smiley, the great evangelistic singer, at Tabernacle Baptist church services were conducted both day and night. Rev. King, Rev. Rice and Mr. Smiley left for Columbia and other points in the state. The Women's Federation gave a valentine party at the Odd Fellows temple on Monday of this week for the benefit of the poor and needy of the city. It was a grand success. Dr. Riley, the orator, educator and minister of Birmingham, Ala., lectured at Grace A. M. E. church Sunday afternoon and night to two large crowds. Dr. Riley is an able speaker. He is the true type of a Southern gentleman. Dr. Riley came to this state on invitation from Rev. R. R. Carroll of Columbia. Dr. Riley, while at the race conference at Columbia some few weeks ago, addressed more than 2,000 people of both races. He spoke here on the subject the "South's duty to the Negro". He left here for Augusta, Ga., where he will lecture on "Anti-Lynching." Some few weeks ago Dr. Riley and other leading southern educators got together and formed an anti-mob society in Charlotte, N. C. The Lincoln-Douglass celebration was held at the W. M. E. church on Friday evening of last week, where a beautiful programme was rendered. After pastoring at the Tabernacle Baptist church of this city for more than 18 years it is to be regretted that Beaufort will lose such an able pulpit orator as Dr. Bythewood. He has accepted a call to pastor in Fernandina, Fla. Dr. Bythewood is one of the ablest ministers in the state. Dr. Colt of this city lectured in Bluffton at the Lincoln-Douglass celebration held there on Friday of last week. Mrs. C. S. Franklin has returned to the city after spending two months in Laurens, S. C. Pluto Co. E., U. R. K. of P., held their two night leap year bop at the Old Fellows' temple on Tuesday and Wednesday nights of this week. The boy's are-looking forward to their Greenwood trip this year. Mrs. Sallie Dickson and little daughter are at home again after spending six weeks in Charleston with her family. Miss Pitts of Branchville, S. C., is stopping at the home of Mrs. Annie Proctor, for a few weeks. Mrs. Chas H. Heyward of Paris Island was in the city this week. Mrs. Chas. McQueen and little Ruth have returned to the city after spending some time at Summerville. Major P. A. Roper installed the following officers of Pluto Co., E: Capt. J. S. Blocker, 1st Lieut; Sir. E. M. Scott; 2nd Lieut., Sir. Peter Gauth, 1st Sergt.; Sis. Edward Meyers, 2nd; Sir. Jas. Riley, Jr., recorder; Sir. Geo. Moody, Jr., treasurer; Sir. A. P. Ransey Mr. Willie Causin was in the city for a few days last week. * * * * Dame rumor has it that wedding bells will ring out in Beaufort again. Well, isn't this leap year? Beaufort is to have paved streets in the near future. The city will not use shells for paving Buy and the principal streets. MISS OPPENHIMER TO Next Friday afternoon at 5 o'clock. Miss Carrie Oppenhimer will deliver an address at the First Congregational Church. The meeting will be under the auspices of the Mothers' Club, organized in connection with the Congregational Free Kindergarten. Miss Oppenhimer is connected with the kindergarten system of the city, and her address will prove quite interesting and helpful. The public is invited. REAL PICTURES OF WAR A great treat for the Sunday World readers is the next Gravure Section, which will contain actual photographs of the maze of trenches from which the allied and Teutonlc armies face each other.

THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE PYTHIAN PERIOD COMMITTEE The joint committee of the Pythian Period-celebration will meet on Sunday February 27th, 1916, at 3:30 p.m. at Seabrooks' hall.

Dear friend one year ago you left us, To join the wondering show; But tho earth's fairest flowers die. And all beneath the sky is vain. There is a land who confines lie. Beyond the reach of care and pain. Then let the hope of joy to come. Dispel our cares and chase our fears. If God be ours we're travelling home. Tho passing thru a vale of tears. A friend, LAURA PARLIN In loving remembrance of Mrs. Eliza E. Love, who departed this life February 15th, 1915. Over the river our loved one rests. Free from this world of care; Angles welcome her as their guest, In the heavenly land so fair. Her memory still lingers in our breasts. Tho a year has passed away; We shall meet her in that land of rest. And shall see her face to face. Husband and Children In loving rembrance of my beloved husband, late of No. 38 Patriarchy Lieut. James H. Fields, who departed this life February 16, 1910. Do I miss you my darling and husband? Oh how much I miss you. I shall ever mark your bed of clay. Where I laid you six years to-day. Until the trumpet of time shall sound, And all the dead in Christ shall rise. To behold God on His throne. And like the rounds in Jacob's ladder, I shall bear my earthly cross, And from the fulness of my soul. Do I await that same sweet voice. Of my Father, for He doth all things well. Sleep on my darling, I will be present when the roll is called. I will meet you in the skies. Loving wife. Mrs. James H. Fields In memory of our loved one, Samuel C. Green, who departed this life-February 17, 1892. Twenty four years ago he left us. Left us with an aching heart; He was anchored. In Christ, Jesus. And from us he ee'r depart. He is gone but not forgotten. And his place will never be filled; He is gone to that colossal shore. ```markdown ``` IF WOMEN WOULD BANK THEIR MONEY and pay their bills with checks, there would be less worry over elusive accounts and less time wasted in hunting up receipts.

JUDGMENT Tas? af tha Loe ‘The theme from which the sermon of Hey, W. I. Cash, of the First Con gregational church was preached last | Sunday morning was Judgment the “pleasing, dreadful thought” and the day when alt mankind, must stand before the God of the universe and “pass the solenm test”. ‘The sermon was a powerfal array of facts and! biblical lore, augmented- by deep earnestness and beautiled by that eloquence which 1s the sequel of consistent christian zeal, ‘This subject is an unusual one in this day of commerciniism and bustle in which men think, most largely, upon things of carth. This being a fact, a kind of xbiver seemed to pass over the au- dience as the preacker warmed into his subject. Yt was shown that the awful day will not be one of awe unto all men. To the contrary, it will hea day of rejoicing to many—that It ‘will not be a day of “wrath” in the common nc- ceptation of the term, but a day when the Judge of all the earth will be plleaced to permit each soul to enter Into the place which that soul has prepared, by his life and conduct upon earth, for itself, The preacher stated that there would be those for whom this day would have uo terrors, those who would be eager, who would hunger for His righteous pronunclamentum. These would be men and women who had faced duty to do it, whose Hives had been consistent; those wifo, tho they, nometimes, faltered, would never relinquish hope but would arise by the afrength of that hope and pur- mue the Journey. Those who would pars the solemn test would be the men and women who had helped a fallen prother—the valiant christian soldier who had disdained to bend the pres- nant binges of the Knee that thrift might follow fawning. But a sadder picture of that other and larger class of men’ was pointed by the preached. The bypocrite, the liar and the adult- erer, the scandalmonger and the strife breader were roundly excrivated and a grafic discription given of their state of mind at tha bar of justice at the final day. The preacher contrasted the character of the Judge at the bar of last resort as against the judges of today, stating that no influence would swerve him from his judgment is right. Color nor creed nor’ condition wil) effect him, for Hix wisdom is unsullied and every individual that shal appear before him must stand dpm merit and be judged according with the deeds done in the flesh. “AIL men”, sald the preacher, “are not failures in the holy conception, whom men dlect ta denominate as such. ‘That man who will not lift as he rises fs no hizber in the rizhtcons couception than tbe man whom he leaves below. Man does not rearlyl rise whew te fails to raise. For the awfulness of that final day 1s vitiated by fnith and the per- formance of faithful and helpfal ser. vice right here on earth. Then may we not so live;raid the preacher, that there shall be a record of our service upon the last day, that will not merit for us all, the “well done xod and faithful nervants, enter Into the place that thou hast carned by, the performance of helpful service."—Collected by E, W. 8.

Text of the Lesson, Acts.vi, 1-7—Mem- ory Verses, 2, 3—Golden Text, Gal. vi,’ 2—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns, Increase of numbers, even in or-| inary church membership, does not always tend to increase or even con- tinuance of peace, especially if it means pleasing more people, as ‘is often the case, though it should not be so, Pleasing people is not the business ef the preacher or the session or the yestry or the committee; not pleasing men, but God, like the apostles in the | last lesson, In our lesson, while the uumber of the disciples was multiplied, troubles multipled also, for some were neglected or felt that they were in the daily ministration. Today some people are not happy if they think the pastor seems to neglect them in his pastoral calls or in not noticing them after church or on the street, and no committee can rectify this, ‘The twelve decided, wisely or un- wisely. certainly for thelr owi com- fort, thut they could not attend to this business of serving tables, ft must continue to give themselves to prayer and Bible study and teaching the Word. When compared with some other lines-of service that of prayer and teaching would be to many a de- lightful preference, but ordinary serv- ice must be attended to also and often requires more grace. The preacher's wife may need more grace and pa- tlence for the housekeeping than he does for the preaching, but any kind of service needs a special anointing of the Holy Spirit. A committee of seven Spirit filled men of honest report was chusen fot this special ministry, the first two of whom we shall become better ac quainted with as we go on in our studies, Stephen, the first of the sev- en, occupies the prominent place in this chapter and the next, while Philip ia the most prominent in chapter vill. We do not hear“of Peter again until chapter vill, 14, and that 1s the last mention of Jobn in the Acts except in xii, 2, where he ts mentioned as the drother of James, who was killed with the sword. It is possible that some others may have wished that they had Deen nmong those chosen 38 apostles, but here are two of seven seemingly ordinary men honored abore some of the apostles, It is well to remember that the Spirit gives to every one sever- ally as He will and to be content to fll any place be its service small or great. It is written of Stephen that he was a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, full of faith and power; that te did great wonders and miracles among the people, and they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he Spake (verses 5, % 3); also that D} the word of God' the number of the disciples in Jerusale multiplied greatly, and a xteat com- pany of the priests were ‘ubedient to the faith (verse 7. In chapter vy, 24, we heard the high priest and others wondering where unto this movement would grow, and we still see it grow- ing even unto this our day, but it does look as Sf we had now come almost to the completion of the growth of His body, the church. The one thing to do 43 to be full of faith and the power of the Spirit and faithfully and fear- lessly witness unto Him and His sal- vation and His coming again, until we are called out of the body or up in the air to meet Tiim, The power of Stephen in overcoming those who disputed with him (verse 10) was in accordance with our Lord’s assurance In Luke xxl, 15, “I will give you 2 mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.” ‘This and similar assurances, such as Ex. iv, 12; Jer. 1, 7-0; John xiv, 13, 14; xv, 7, are all for us today if we will stand for Him as Stephen did, for His eyes are still looking for hearts that are whole toward Him, that He may hold strongly with them (I Chron. xvi, 9, margin). If we stand for Him and with Him, as Peter and John and Stephen did, we must expect to know something of the hatred of the adver- sary as they did, for we cannot know the power of His resurrection without knowing also the fellowship of His sufferings (Phil, ii, 10). Those who | could not gainsay nor resist the truth of God in the power of the Spirit by the mouth of Stephen could hire men to falsely accuse Stephen- and make him out a lar and 2 dangerous man to be about. ‘That is one of the wiles of the devil which he has practiced so long that 2 :__ PAGE SEVEN SSS eo M..H.

Lindsay thoughtful Negroes uf Savannah firm- ly believe, fs this: First, we believe, heéause-of the congenial climate and the adfurally favorable surroundings - coupled with the splendid feelings and anata’ understanding between the races in this espectally God-favored section, It is one of the best cities, if not the very best, for Negroes to live in te be found any where. Second, we believe that Savannah of- Jers the finest opportuntties for mon of the race with, small capital, backed with great energy, ambition push and detectnation, who are willing to watt, but work while they wait, ofSany city, a this entire country. ‘Tied, we believe that, Savannah has made more tangible race progress in the shatter gf organizing and build- ing “banking {nstitutions, real estate andJoan associations, insurance com- panle! and drug stores, to say nothing of (the modern and well appointed honies Pouxht and built by members of the race, and too, the greater por- tiva of this splendid showing for the race, las been accomplished in the last fan years; the Ike of which, in our apiniun, eunct be duplicated in any community in this country with a Negry population of only about forty- five ugusand. ! Foarth, we belleve it the heighth of folly,’ you even suicide, for any man or sef of men to attempt in any way to teach or eyen hint at members of the ruce living other than on peaceable terms’ with members of the other race with whom they must come in contact daily. Fifth, we believe that the three Ne- gro banks and the two Negro loan and development companies are doing a work fr the race in the matter of building homes and lifting mortgages, thereby ‘giving the oppressed a chance tw get on their feet and make good in the areua of this strenuous mo life, ace not fully appreciate! by all as they should be. Sixt, we believe that the Negro industrjal insnran-e companies in the city, whieh are giving profitable em-| ployment to more deserving young men and youn women than nearly all of the -otuer concerns operated by our peopte. combined, which affords these young people an opportunity to put in practice some of the theory they learn- vil In school, are doing a work of up- lift for the race. which work the race cin itt afford to be without. Sevesth, we believe. since the Negro race is Hke all other races of people, whe must eat. wear clothes, have med- iciue, wear shoes, use tarniture. read hooks, papers and magazines, and in fact, wap every thing else that ofher ciyRizeq people use, that the race, like other races, should arrange for the manvfacturing and handling of these elsentiads like people of other races have bad to do and are still doing. Fight, we believe that the Savannah Tribuge, the recoynized mouth piece of the race in this section for nearly four decades, und which during ity long aad useful carver, hay looked with disdain upon the very thought of, muck-raking, mud-throwing and stime- slngius. and holding up to public ridicutes the best brain and thought of the race, such as lawydm. doctors. edpeniops, ministers of the gospel and Unsiness men, encouraging the other fellow in his errencous and prejudical idea, that the best in the mice is really In enue. thgrefore, we are dectded-| ly ofthe ppjoion that while this Ne- zro “wifting agéacy.

I find it impossible to attend the meeting becanse of the predomi- nating influence of Mr. Henry S. Jack- son who I cannot believe is a suffi- ciently tried Republican. I feel that I voice the sentiments of a large num- ber of the Republicans of my race in Muscogee county and in the Fourth Congressional District when I tell you that we just haven't got the faith in Mr. Jackson and Bir. Pickett, I can- not play two-faced with you and while I appreciate your manly leadership’ in other things we cannot allow you! to believe, that the two gentlemen just mentionel can stand for those party principles of the Negro’s rights in the same state and under the same law as seriously as Col.
