The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXI TOMORROW FOR WASHINGTON MEMORIAL FUND Large Amount Expected to be Raised Among the Churches Tuskegee Institute, Ala., March 4. Tomorrow is March 12th. On that day the colored people are asked to contribute $1.00 to the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund which is being raised as the visible, concrete, proof of their gratitude to the man who through consecrated, sincere and unselfish toll lifted the veil of suspicion between the two races in the south and interpreted the one to the other thru the medium of love, humility and The Golden Rule. Before his death, Booker T. Washington became a national institution. He was friend alike to friend and foe; help for the helpless, hope for the discouraged, and he died rich in honor because the talents with which he was so bountifully endowed were not used merely for his own advancement but rather that the friendless of his race might find a "door of hope" opened to them thru his labors. What your dollar will do? Ask yourself the question. Thru Tuskegee Institute, the "door of hope" has been opened in order that the black boys and girls of the south may have their chance to become substantial, independent and respected citizens. But Booker T. Washington did not halt there in his achievements and Tuskegee's guiding influence has multiplied thru many avenues of service and in many communities. Indirectly through its influence, other "doors of hope" have been opened and none there are to-day who will dispute that Booker T. Washington was the greatest contributing element to the present success, and the industrial and educational progress of the Negro race in the south. The dollar which you are asked to give tomorrow at your church will help to perpetuate the medium of service which Dr. Washington founded, and to make permanent and secure the ideals and principles of human brotherhood which he established and proved to be the unfailing bond of mutual helpfulness between the races in the south. $250,000 has been asked from the colored people as their part of a Booker T. Washington two million dollar Memorial Fund. $250,000 represents one-eighth of the total amount asked for, and the trustees of the school are desirous that the permanent memorial whether it be a building, a statue, or monument of some other character shall come from the money given by the colored people. The white friends who by their generosity have made possible Negro education in the south will regard the response from the colored people as a mark of gratitude to Booker T. Washington for his life of service and sacrifice and a token of appreciation for their interest and support of the causes for Negro advancement. If the white people are willing to contribute seven-eighths of this memorial fund, it is hoped and expected that the colored people who were the direct beneficiaries of this life, will give a grateful one-eighth. Next Sunday, March 12th, is the day of opportunity for each colored person. Will you give at least one dollar at your church for the Booker T. Washington memorial fund? If each grown-up will give one dollar in this collection next Sunday and each Sunday school student at least ten cents, a very substantial part of this $250,000 will be raised and the whole race exalted in the estimation of the people of this country who support Negro education. It is to be hoped that the ministers and Sunday school superintendents will co-operate in emphasizing the importance of this special collection next Sunday for the Booker T. Washington memorial fund. Remittances covering the collections should be sent directly to Emmett J. Scott, secretary, in charge of collecting the fund, or to Warren Logan, treasurer, Tuskegee Institute, Ala. It has been suggested that in some instances pastors of churchee might, for various reasons, prefer to have special collections for the memorial fund taken on some Sunday other than March 12th. In that event, we hope such pastors will give sufficient advance notice to their congregations to NEGROES SUE ARMY OFFICER Damages of $104,813 Asked of Major General Bell, Texas City and Board of Trade. Galveston, Texas.—An action against Major General Bell, U. S. A., and two other defendants was filed in the United States Court here to-day on behalf of twenty-six Negroes, who ask damages amounting to $104,813. Texas City and the Texas City Board of Trade are co-defendants. The Negroes charge that after the tropical hurricane of last August they were arrested and set to work with no promise of pay. General Bell was in command of troops then stationed at Texas City. BRUNSWICK,NEWS Brunswick, Georgia., March 9.—The closing exercises of the kindergarten department of St. Athnasius Parochal school were excellent. The teachers the department under the direction of Principal W. A. Perry, deserve credit in their management of the little ones. * * * The memorial services held last Sunday at St. Paul A. M. E. Church in honor of the late Rev. G. W. McMillen were impressive. The sermon was preached by Rev. Este and befitting remarks were made by Rev. B. F. Seabrooks, Mr. E. W. Johnson and Mr. J. A. Walker. Resolutions were adopted and recorded upon the records of the church for future memory of their ex-pastor. Undertaker John Byrd, on his return trip from Atlanta last Sunday, was deprived of his overcoat and hat by some unkind friend. Some very valuable papers were carried away in the delivery and he is asking that the papers at least be returned. An old folks concert is being planned by Mr. and Mrs. Willie Green for the near future. The affair promises to be interesting. * * * Mrs. Julia Green, mother of Mrs. Wm. Williams, 2011 Ellis street, died Monday night at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. Wm. Williams, Mrs. Green leaves many children and a host of friends to mourn her death. The body was prepared for burial by John Byrd, the undertaker. The ministers' concert at St. Paul A. M. E. Church promises to be a novelty. It is expected that all of the churches will be represented on the night of March 20th, with their pastor to determine which of the preachers in the city are the best singers. --- Brunswick Odd Fellows are not surprised that their case was not heard last Saturday. It will be a surprise if it is settled in the next ten years. There must be some common sense used by the Odd Fellows of the state and not have the lawyers tell us everything to do because it costs money. We continue to send our money to B. J. Davis, no death claims being paid, notwithstanding several are past due and they are still dying and no signs of adjustment for a way of settlement of these claims. Money has got to be too valuable to experiment with when the classes are enjoying the juice and masses are suffering. Every Odd Fellow that was initiated was never promised a temple in Atlanta nor $300.00 at death, in fact the first pecuniary benefit was discussed in the last lecture. Every Odd Fellow believed in the progressive spirit of the executive committee, and gave a lending hand for its promotion, but the progressiveness that tends to destroy the principles is not progressive. A peg should be set and let us squabble over the half million accumulated and arrange some plan that the poor people who are suffering can be paid the claims when due. A LITTLE GIRL On February 20th the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Rivers, 5243 east Gwinnett street, was visited by the stock who left a fine baby girl, who will be named Dorothy Clinton. Both mother and baby are doing fine. insure the most satisfactory response. In this city the following committee has charge of raising the fund: Walter S. Scott, Prof. J. W. Hubert, Rev. J. A. Martin, Prof. John McIntosh, J. C. Lindsay, A. B. Singfield, Rev. W. Bolivar Davis, Rev. W. O. P. Sherman, Jr., G. H. Bowen, Prof. R. R. Wright, Dr. B. W. S. Daniels, L. M. Pollard, L. E. Williams, W. W. Hill, F. P. Pettle, Sol. C. Johnson, Rev. R. H. Singleton, Rev. T. J. Goodall, Rev. J. L. Taylor, Rev. S. T. Redd, E. W. Sherman CHARGED TAKING ODDFELLOW FUNDS ARRESTED IN ST. LOUIS EN ROUTE WEST Cashier of District Grand Secretary's Office and Davis' Nephew Charged With Offence Odd Fellow circles, especially in North Georgia, are all agog this week, caused by the arrest in St. Louis, Mo., of Miss Anna Mae Smith, cashier of the District Grand Secretary's office, and Mr. Tom Mulkey, Mr. B. J. Davis' nephew and book-keeper in the same office. It is stated that the couple were married on Saturday last by Rev. E. R. Carter. It is also alleged that Mr. Mulkey purchased several hundred dollars worth of furniture and shipped same to some point in Oklahoma. It is also alleged that the young man purchased a liberal supply of clothing, etc. The couple left on Saturday night In fine style in a drawing car. Suspicion was attracted to them on account of these purchases. This reached the ears of Mr. Davis who went to his office early Sunday morning and made investigations and found that there exhibited signs of a shortage. After investigating, a warrant was immediately sworn out against the two and an officer sent to bring them back. A bond of $1,200 was first asked, but this was changed and they are being held without bond. It is alleged that the sum amounts to nearly five thousand dollars, but that the entire amount will be recovered. NEW FACES AT PEKIN The bill at the Pekin Theatre for next-week will be one of the best put on in some time. There will be an array of new faces and classy actors. Clifford Ross, the noted reciter and comedian, is in the line-up along with Hall and Thomas, the sister teams and Trixy Smith. All of the new performers are well versed in the theatrical business and it will be worth your time to see them in action. TWILIGHT REAPERS OPENING The Twilight Reapers Social Club, one of the leading civic organizations in the city, will have its formal opening of its club rooms on Next Wednesday night. The club recently erected apartments on Bolton street, west, and is using the lower flat as its club room for the social gatherings of its members. DELONEY—DAVIS The marriage of Miss Bessie Deloney, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Deloney, to Mr. Thomas Davis took place Thursday evening, February 24th, at the home of the bride's parents at Tatemville, in the presence of many friends and the families of the contracting parties. The bride's wedding gown was particularly beautiful. Refreshments were served after the ceremony. PAINFULLY INJUBED Mr. Robert R. Simmons, a blacksmith, formerly of Beaufort, S. C., sustained a very painful injury on Thursday morning, while cutting a piece of sheet steel, one piece flew up from the anvil and struck him across the left eye. He is now slowly improving. Mr. Simmons has been in the employ of the Phosphate Mining Co., as a blacksmith for the past eight months.

Those who witnessed last Sunday's programme, in learning the new songs, chorus singing was unusually good and showed rapid progress on the part of the attendants upon the Sunday Programme, in learning the new songs. Rev. J. A. Martin, the popular pastor of St. Paul Church and friend of the Y. M. C. A., delivered the principal address. It was indeed a masterly effort and showed the speaker in unusually broad perspective. The address struck a responsive chord in the breasts of everyone present, being void, as it were, of high sounding and hysterical platitudes, but filled with common sense theories and suggestions. The address will long be remembered. The association wishes to thank all of the subscribers, the names of which will be found in another issue of The Tribune, for their donation to the recent fair held under the auspices of the Ladies' Auxiliary. The result of the voting contest, votes of which are now being tabulated, will be announced within the next few days. STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE MET YESTERDAY Walter Johnson Faction Draws First Blood The Republican State Central Committee met in Macon yesterday in the city auditorium.

After considerable wrangling the Republican" state convention was awarded Macon and will meet April 12th. AUTO DAMAGED While turning into the Ogeechee road from the Buchalter road last Sunday afternoon about six o'clock the automobile of Dr. O. C. Clayborne became unmanageable and ran into a ditch, breaking up one of the front wheels and otherwise injuring the car. Mrs. Clayborn was at the wheel at the time of the accident, neither she nor her husband, who tried to avert the accident, was hurt. Promoter Joe Jennings has arranged for three star bouts to be pulled off at the Aid-Dome theatre on Tuesday night March 21st. The principal bout will be a fifteen round go between "The Masked Marvel", a mysterious boxer of Germany and K. O. Lou Williams, a clever local fighter. The contest will undoubtedly attract a large crowd as both men are pretty smart in the boxing game. "The Masked Marvel" who is now in New York, is expected to arrive in the city the early part of next week and will make his appearance daily upon the streets with face masked. Aside from the main bout, there will be two ten round bouts between Young Moore and Barbershop Williams and Young George Dixon and the Eastern Badge of Portland, Oregon. The price of admission will be 50 cents and $1.00. ANNOUNCEMENT Cards are out announcing the celebration of the twenty-fifth marriage anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. A. L.

Royall Undg., Co. 1916 HARE—RICHARDSON RECITAL Delightful Lecture—Recital at St. Philip Church By Boston's Well-Known Artists A small but highly appreciative audience turned out last Friday evening to hear Maud Cuney Hare, pianist, and Wm. H. Richardson, burilone, both of Boston, Mass., in a pretty little concert of Negro folk songs. Mrs. Hare gave a very interesting study and survey of Negro Folk songs, their origin, their influence on music in general, the Negro musician, etc., illustrating these items with well selected groups of song from Negro composers, notably, the late S. Coleridge-Taylor of London, and Harry T. Burleigh, the distinguished soloist-composer of New York. The "Almona" and "Ahmed's Farewell," of the Saracen songs, by Mr. Burleigh, were well received. Mr. Richardson was in fine voice, all evening and scored a triumph in the "Prologue from I Pagliacei", singing in Italian. Mrs. Hare was a marvel at the piano and reached a climax in her rendition of the beautiful "Polonaise" by MacDowell. The Allied Charities Committee has announced that this is the closing concert of the season. They well deserve the appreciation of the general public for their splendid work, having furnished a most interesting and attractive group of concerts during the winter. Cleveland, Ohio—"Finance," the well known financial journal, prints a dispassionate article reviewing southern conditions and pointing out some of the difficulties now being met with in those regions below Mason and Dixon's line. Matters seem in a bad way, revenues are falling fast, and of course the colored people will be the first to suffer, as only meager sums are now appropriated for Negro education and for Negro uplift. What the future portends in these directions only the future can reveal. The article in "Finance," in part only, says: Without being active participants in the cause of prohibition, and holding up brief for liquor interests, many representative citizens of this section are to-day trying to figure out the net results, both financial and moral, of the prohibition law which has been in operation for the past few years in some of the southern states. They have not requested information on the subject from men who are interested in breweries or distilleries, nor have they appealed to leaders in the past temperance crusades for facts pertaining to the results of this new southern experiment. On the contrary, they have sought light on the question from only unprejudiced sources—officials who receive and disburse money of the municipalities and the states. CARD OF THANKS Mrs. Belle Holmes wishes to thank the many friends both in New York City, Savannah and other cities for the kindness shown her in her hour of sad bereavement, and also for the kind letters of condolence. AT the Y. M. C. A. On tomorrow the special address will be delivered by Dr. R. H. Singleton. It is enough said. The meeting will begin at 5 p. m. at St. Paul Church, West Broad and Maple streets. Ladies and gentlemen are invited. NUMBER 18 MME. HACKLEY'S RECITAL CHARMS LARGE AUDIENCE AT NATION'S CAPITOL Many Other Interesting Happenings Of Washington Washington, D. C., March 8.—Mme. E. Azalia Hackley "came, saw and conquered" the nation's capitol—for the second time within a month. Her latest triumph was the training and direction of Washington's first "Folk-Song Festival." So, cordially was this truly American music received it has been decided to make the "Folk-Song-Festival an annual event and arrangements have already been entered into by which Mme. Hackley is to return next spring to cheer anew the souls of the many friends she has made during her recent visits here. Spacious Metropolitan A. M. H. Church was packed to the doors en last Tuesday evening with a throng of music-lovers, anxious to hear the "Folk-Song Festival," the first of its kind ever held in this city. The affair was under the general supervision of the Bethel Literary Association, and was planned and executed by the society's far-visioned and ever-original president. Miss Marie A. D. Madre. Cultured Washington turned out en masse, as a glance of the enormous list of patrons will show, churches, schools, and many musical and fraternal organizations being largely represented. The chorus of nearly 200 voices was trained by Mme. Hackley in eight days of hard and strenuous work, but it is the popular verdict that had she trained them eight weeks the result could not have been more satisfactory. In point of harmony, volume and artistic interpretation, the singing has never been excelled on any singular occasion in the nation's capitol and the eminent principal of the Hackley Vocal Normal Institute, of Chicago, is deserving of the highest commendation for her splendid work. Gathered from the various choruses and standard musical organizations of the vicinity, this remarkable aggregation typified the high-water mark of Negro achievement in the arena of folk song presentation. The degree of perfection attained by them with the limited time allowed for rehearsal stamps the singers as geniuses for music and establishes, Mme. Hackley, as one of the "Wizards" of the times as a teacher and director. A distinctive feature of the festival was the appearance of Prof. J. Rosamond Johnson, of New York, now executive officer of the Music Settlement School of that city, and known to the country at large as the junior member of the once-famous theatrical team of Cole and Johnson, was loomed large for many years in the field of musical comedy and Negro character study. Mr. Johnson received an ovation when introduced by Miss Madre. He rendered two of his favorite selections "Lil Gal," (words by Paul Lawrence Dunbar) and his popular success, "Under the Bamboo Tree." A chorus of students from the M. Street High School led by Miss Mary L. Europe rendered with fine effect Mr. Johnson's original production. "Southland," which has been highly praised by music-lovers of both races everywhere. A quartet from the choir of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church gave in magnificent style Mme. Hackley's own creation, "Carola." This quartet was made up of Misses Bessie Ewell, Alberta Lucas, Lettle Wilson and Bessie Burrell. A sextette, including Miss Medora Moxley, Mrs. M. J. Richardson Mrs. Marion Butler, Miss Captora G Frye, Miss Mary Jefferson and Miss Lula McAllister, won a hearty encor with "Since You Went Away," composed by J. Rosamond Johnson and James Welden Johnson. Another quartet of rich quality was made up of Messrs E. N. Broadnax, J. H. Marshall, E. H. Harris, and J. T. Thornton, and captured the house by its creation of "Shout all over God's Heaven". As an extra added attraction Miss Pauline James Lee, the famer Chicago contralto, assistant to Miss Hackley at the Vocal Normal Institute, gave two charming number "Morning, Noon and Night," by J. Rosmond Johnson, and "The Awakening" by J. Welden Johnson, and sustains her reputation as a premier vocalist with a tone range that is a revelation. A few of the many selections thou marked favor at the hands of t (Continued on Page 6) AGE TWO Lace and Flounces Betoken Spanish Note in Spring Fashion The New Opera Goyescas May Introduce Another Detail or Two SPANISH COMBS AND SCARFS WORN New York, March 1.—The Spanish influence, they call our tendency this season toward ruffles, flounces, laces, full short skirts, and basques. This note was first mentioned at the introduction of the bolero, a little earlier in the season, and since the premiere of Joyescas at the Metropolitan Opera House some weeks ago—the first time by the way, that America has been honored with a first performance of a new opera—this Spanish note is being talked of more and more. Whether it will really be an important issue in the summer fashions is yet to be seen; so far it has been noticed only in a MCKAY strong leaning toward the deep Spanish flounce of lace on dance and dinner dresses, and on lingerie summer frocks. In the fascinating Fandango, danced in the second act of Goyescas, the dancer wears a charming little frock of yellow, with two black lace flounces joined to veil the skirt from below a deep yoke depth; the frock is so dainty and graceful that it should incline us all to Spanish lace flounces. The Spanish Lace Scarf All thru the brilliant audience on opening night, as a delicate attention doubt to the composer, one saw the Spanish lace scarf in both black and white, draped about gleaming white shoulders. Here and there the true Spanish fashion too, a high black comb was seen, often in the shining black hair of a true Spanish beauty; and there were any number of them, keenly appreciative in their countryman's offering. There has never been anything more graceful and useful than these scarfs and anyone possessing one should be more than grateful. They are a charming accessory to the formal evening gown and serve the dance frock equally well. The Vogue of Lace Much lace is being used on dresses aside from flounces. One of the favorite methods is to veil a deep band of lace in the bodice, as shown in our first illustration, and another use is shown in the sleeves and front panel effect on the other frock. The metal laces, rather heavy in weave, are especially effective for veiling purposes. The gold and silver handling are most attractive. Often in the costume blouse the lace is attached to a flesh colored lining, or is veiled first with pale pink chiffon and the pink in turn veiled with the dark blue, black, or other shade of the blouse. Becoming and graceful fog all types is the drop-shoulder, especially when the blouse or frock is fashioned of a soft, drapy stuff like Georgette, chiffon, or one of the soft silk crepes. The fad for trimming these soft materials with colored beads is one of the most artistic and effective notions we have seen for many a day. A blouse in Russian style, imported recently by one of our smart shops, was fashioned of a dull copper-colored crepe de chine. It closed straight down the front and the raglan shoulders were outlined front and back with a banding of burnt-hed heads, in several tones, shading from gold to cop- slightly at the normal waist line with a twisted cord of the beads with tasselled ends. It was a garment which could be appropriately worn with separate skirt for the street, without a coat. While there are some rather complex ideas this spring, the majority of frocks and blouses are simplicty itself; any one who can handle a needle can fashion them, if she will keep one or two important facts in mind: first, that the new shoulder line is sloping; second, that sleeves, while loose, should give an indication of the shape of the arm. A tight fitting cuff will serve to do this becoming; third, that MCCALL skirts must curve over the hips, unless they are the full gathered models, and must be as full below the hips as possible. Many of the dainty sheer cottons volles, organdles, crepes and similar fabrics, are being made up in the regulation shirt-waist-dress style, with perhaps a bit of colored embroidery or a band or two of ribbon for trimming. Ribbon, in the soft summer colorings, pliot-edged, or plain taffeta or moire, is being used quite extravagantly on frocks and blouses of all descriptions. They are dainty, summery, and may be easily tacked on or taken off when the frock requires tubbing. ATLANTA UNIVERSITY NOTES Atlanta, Ga., March 1.—Dr. W. E. B. DuDois spent several days at Atlanta University on his recent trip South. It gave great satisfaction to students and teachers to have Dr. Du Bois again with us. He gave two extremely interesting and stimulating talks. On Friday morning he discussed the possible bearing of the war upon the colored races. He said that this world warfare was upsetting certain old conceptions and perhaps preparing the way for a new progress of the colored races. It has been the custom through all ages for the nations and races who are in the ascendancy to claim that the highest point of civilization yet attained has been reached by them. The present warfare is as brutal as any which has ever been waged and the means used are more deadly than ever before. The futility of force and bloodshed is evident. He said there was another method of warfare, however, much more effective in the long run, and one which would develop the character of the contestants more surely. It comes thru the recognition of evils which exist, and unfaltering opposition to them though they must, be endured thru force of circumstances. Never must we forget that unfare discriminations are wrong, and by an attitude of constant resistance we may be able to engage in a real struggle for righteousness which will accomplish more than the methods of physical force. As the world is being rent and torn by the present conflict it may be that the time has come for a really forward step for the colored people. Dr. DuBols suggested that the young people now students at Atlanta University might be leaders in some real progress His Saturday evening address to the school family was upon the subject of occupations opened to Negro youth. He analysed a wide range of vocations, suggesting what qualities were necessary for success in each. The subject of the address was to suggest to young people looking forward in life to occupations to which each was peculiarly adapted, thus to avoid the tragedy of a larger circle may enjoy the benefit launching upon an enterprise foredoomed to failure.

The need of such a league here has long been felt and especially wi the efforts of these clubs be ap- psesiated this year since the regular patrong of the ball park will be de- nigd their daily pleasure as this city has given up her franchise in the Sal- ly Jeague. The organization of such a league as is planned by these clubs will not only be the means of pro- viding entertdintitht for the public bea it-will, if conducted properly, add cersiderably to-the financial standing ef each one of the clubs involved.

In many sections of the country the loenl committees having in charge the raising of this fund, are already at work, and gratifying indeed have been the liberal responses with which they have met. In this city the committee wader whose supervision the move ment will, be conducted has al- ready mapped out a plan of cam- paign by which it is hoped that Sa- yaupah will contribute her share to this worthy cause. Our people here have given generously to worthy ap- peals and surely the assistance asked | of us in this movement will be not. only considered worthy uf our sert- ows attention but that we will- give renérously to the fund which will go) to perpetiiate the memory of one whose eareer wag a ‘henefaction to ‘the en- tire race.

Lindsay Se Oe en nee ag Tn ee ee ee iO the importance of profiting by the sad! plight in which many of our people found themselves during the hard winter which has just passed, Now, that the spring season is about to dawn upon us, with all of the aluring pleasures which this facinating time of the year brings, not only to lads and lassies, but to older ones as well, and in view of the scriptural injunc- tion which teaches, that every man in a limited degree, is the keeper of his less fortunate brother, and that the strong should bear the infirmities of the weak, we ure forced, “her and now, to call attention to the approach- ing good-time season (steam-boat ex- carstons)w bleh causes so many of our people to suffer untold hardships and Prlvatons during the long, bleak win> ters like the one thru which we have ust passed. In less than sixty days ford this date, hand bills and placards’ ‘will be handed around and placed in conspicuous places announcing an ex: /eursion trip which will take out of the hands of dur people and place in the hands of the other fellow, many hundreds of dollars which will be, needed next winter in the homes of those who spend it now, in the matter of buying books for the education of their children, to say nothing about shelter, food, fuel, medicine, insurance and the other essentials of Ilfe. It is next to impossible to think of a boat, loud of excurslonists, consisting of ap- proximately three hundred persons, spending less than six hunired dollars. When the smoke of battle, so to speak. is cleared nway, the organization for which the excursion is being runned, will have something like ten or fit- teen dollars, while the other fellows) will have the difference between this little pittance and the yum total which was spent, which as we said above. amounts nearly always to something like six hundred dollars. Some “good- timer” is going to ask, “what has the Negro Business League to do with how I spend my money?” Similar ques- tions have been asked since the world began. We believe it was Cain, the first selfish murderer,-who asked: “Am I my brother's keeper?" The Negro Business Leagne ‘wishes to be placed squarely on record as being instru- ‘mental in a lmited degree, in assisting the less fortunate ones among us in thinking, planning, working and sav- ing. The Negro Business League has no patience nor respect for the lay- man or any set of laymen who have the brazen effrontry to presime to dictate to the christian ministry how and what to preach about, but we do believe, as recognized leaders of the people, and this fact is conceded to by all, that these God fearing, under- shepherds, who are bot only the spir- itual advisers of the people but ad- yisers in things temporal, as well, could do a mighty work which would | have telling und lasting effect, if they, would call to the attention of their hearers from time to time the error we are making when we spend our time and money, and, in some cases, lose eur jobs for the sake of having « “good time” on the steam-boat excur- sion. Every person should have an outing at some time during the year, but the fact to which we wish to ca¥ attention in this connection, is that we should be careful not to lose our jobs for the sake of spending u day on a xteam-boat. We are being told constantly by the other fellow about bow unreliable many of our people are as workers. It is up to us as workers to live down this charge. We can Jo it, yea, we must do it. If our mind+ are made up to be away from our work at a certain time, and we are in- formed by our employer that his busl- ues« will he crippled or impaired be cause of bis absence from the jot! inat day, we should not wait for him to ask that we forego the pleasure which that anticipated trip would afford, but like a foyal and interested worker who] has the employer's Interest at heart, we’ should put that trip off and plan| to go ut another time. With the right}, kind of employer, a sacrifice of thia nature will not go unrewarded. There is an important lesson that many of our yvounr people who hold responsiblel. 17th, at 8:30 o'clock.

M. E. church, February 24, 1910, Dr. C. M. Tanner, the pastor of Allen Temple members, et al, prepared a most sumptuous repast in which every reasonable article of eatables was in evidence. Dr. W. A. Fountain, president of Morris Brown University, was toast master and about three hours was profitably spent in toasting and enjoying the many courses served by the ladies. Two bishops, including the one honored, graced the occasion, and Bishop R. A. Carter of the C. M. E. Church. The editor of the C. M. E. Recorder was required to represent all the other general officers, consequently the others were not present. A large delegation of the Georgia regulars was present. Dr. Sandy Simmons, of Charleston, S. C., was preparing rails to plan his episcopal fence, that he is asking the general conference to allow him to erect; Rev. Rice accompanied him from South Carolina. Dr. C. A. Wingfield seemed to have been a committee of one to meet the visiting guests at the depots and see that each was made comfortable while in the city. As we are not a voter, did not get into every word that passed between Dr. Wingfield and the Georgia men; but we could hear the words, "President of Morris Brown University when Dr. Fountain is made bishop." We notfeed the smiles on Dr. Wingfield's face when he would leave one voter to go to the other. We know another thing, Dr. Wingfield expects to succeed Dr. Fountain if he "F" be made bishop. The banquet closed at 6 p. m., and the literary programme of the anniversary was opened at 8 o'clock p. m. The following programme was rendered: Dr. C. M. Tanner, presiding. Programme Words of greeting from bench of bishops, Bishop R. A. Cartert Bishop J. S. Flipper's work as a bishop in the church, Dr. Sandy Simmons; greetings from the general officers, Rev G. W. Allen, D. D.; Bishop Flipper and the S. S. Union, Dr. C. A. Wingfield; The condition in church and state thirty years ago. Rev W. D. Johnson, D. D.; Bishop Flipper as a county school teacher, Dr. F. B. Sims; Bishop Flipper's political experiences, Dr. F. R. Flemings; Bishop Flipper's experiences, as a presiding elder, Rev R. D. Stinson, D.

Smith, for his church, $5.00; Rev. J. L. Butler for St. James Church, $5.00; Quite a number of donations had been sent to the committee and Rev. C. A. Wingfield, who was treasurer for the committee presented to the Bishop the names and amounts in an envelope without reading the names and amount. So far as we are able to learn, the pastor and members of Allen Temple made the largest presentation in a silver set or service which was presented by Mrs. E. E. Sandreth, one of the members of the W. H. and F. M. Society of Allen Temple. The present is a $125.00 silver service. Mrs. R. T. Matthews, conference president W. H. and F. M. Society made the presentation of the purse donated by that society. Other presents were sent to the Bishop's residence, as Bishop Flipper was not able to be at the church on account of rheumatism, the donors desired that she should be first to see and receive the many donations. Bishop Flipper made the List speech in response to the many good things said about Mrs. Flipper and himself and extended heartfelt thanks for the many presentations by the friends. Many telegrams and letters were in evidence.—Southern Christian Recorder. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson, XII.—First Quarter, For March 19, 1916. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Acts viii, 4-17. Memory Verses, 5, 6—Golden Text, Acts viii, 30, I. c.—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The persecution of the saints, which began with the murder of Stephen, continued under Saul as a leader or at least a very active persecutor, for he is said to have entered every house and committed men and women to prison. The persecution was so great that it is said that all the believers, except the apostles, were scattered abroad through Judea and Samaria but they went everywhere preaching the word, and thus God made the wrath of man to praise Him (verses 1-4; Ps. lxxv1, 10). Philip, the second of the seven Spirit filled men who were chosen to serve stables, now comes to the front as a preacher and is the prominent worker in the rest of this chapter. First we see him preaching Christ in the city of Samaria and working miracles, the people giving heed with one accord so that there was great joy in that city, many men and women believing the words of Philip concerning Jesus Christ and the kingdom of God and confessing the same by baptism (verses 5-8, 12). There was a man in Samaria who had been bewitching and deceiving the people by sorcery, drawing people to himself as a great man, but when he saw greater works wrought by Philip he naturally became, interested and professed himself a believer and was baptized. But Peter and John, having come from Jerusalem to help in the good work, found him out when he offered them money if they would give him the power of the Holy Spirit (verses 9-25). The gifts of God cannot be bought, nor does a true messenger of Christ ever seek any honor or glory for himself, for the Lord Jesus never sought His own will nor His own glory and told the people that they could not believe unless they sought honor from God only (John v. 30, 44; vi. 38; vill. 50). The Holy Spirit never honors any mere man, but through men honors Jesus Christ. We must cease from men and see no man save Jesus only (Isa. 11, 22; Mark 1x, 8). When Peter and John had helped the believers in Samaria they also preached the word of the Lord in many Samaritan villages as they journeyed back to Jerusalem (14 to 17 and 25). The Lord Jesus had said before His ascension that when they received the power of the Holy Spirit they would be His witnesses not only in Jerusalem and Samaria, but unto the uttermost part of the earth (Acts 1, 8). The first part was being fulfilled, but some of the ends of the earth have not heard yet after nearly 1,000 years. How great is His patience! In the power of God, manifest in the words and works of the apostles and evangelists, we have seen something of the interest of heaven in the work of giving the good news to men. We have also seen the ministry of angels in taking Peter and John out of prison and sending them to preach in the temple (chapter v, 19, 20), and now, while Philip is busy in the midst of this great work in Samaria, a messenger from heaven is sent to him to tell him to leave it all and go away down to the desert road from Jerusalem to Gaza, but seemingly without giving any reason as to why he should do this. Did ever a busy preacher of the gospel receive such a strange command? There did not seem to be any reason or common sense in it, but rather an interference with a great soul saving work. Might not Philip seem justified in saying, as Nehemiah once did, "I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down?" (Neh. vl. 3). It was an evil spirit who was seeking Nehemiah, but it was the risen Christ who sent His angel to Philip because he saw a man of Ethiopia returning from Jerusalem without having heard the gospel, although the apostles were at Jerusalem. I see two or or three important things here—the necessity of trying the spirits to see whether they are of God (I John iv, 1-3), the necessity of always making plain the way of life in Christ less some hungry seeking soul may go away without knowing how to be saved and the necessity of prompt obedience when God speaks, no matter how unreasonable it may seem to us. We are glad to read that Philip arose and went [verse 27]. If he had any committee to consult he would probably have been hindered; but, like Samuel, he was a man of God and had an ear for God and a willing heart. It is certainly most interesting to see this traveler, this treasurer of the queen of Ethiopia, reading the book of Isahah as he journeyed and to be just at the place which told of a suffering Messiah, which we call Isn. Hill, 7, 8, when a stranger approached the charlot, and, hearing the words being read (for he was evidently reading or being read to aloud), he asked, "Under standest thou what thou readest?" Then followed the invitation to Philip to ride and to explain the Scripture, and we see a heart opened to receive Jesus Christ as Saviour and Messiah a desire and readiness to confess Him in hepitation and a truly happy man went on his way rejoicing, having found in his chariot, by the word of God, what he had not found in Jerusalem. The Spirit of the Lord, who controlled Philip (verses 29, 39), carried him to Azotus and he went on preaching everywhere M. H. MULLINEAUX JEWELER AND WATCHMAKER ALL WORK GUARANTEED 507 WEST BROAD ST.
