Baptist Committee Meets In Vicksburg REV. E. D. JONES CALL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WILL MAKE UP Program For National Baptist Convention Vicksburg, Miss.—After considering the matter for several weeks, it is learned that Rev. E. P. Jones, D. D., president of the National Baptist Convention unincorporated, has fully decided to call an executive committee meeting of the convention to meet here the second week in June, which is at the same time that the Sunday School Congress holds its session in this city. Dr. Jones said that the idea in calling the Executive Committee meeting at that time was in order that the Baptist throughout the country might attend both meetings for the cost of one railroad fare. He says it will be quite an advantage, that the leading men of the denomination will be on hand any way and that they might as well have an executive committee meeting. He states further that this is not the first time that such has been done, that the executive committee met with the Sunday School Congress once in Nashville, Tenn., and another time with the Sunday School Congress at Meridian, Miss., and that both meetings proved highly satisfactory. The principal work of the executive committee will be the making of the program for the National Baptist Convention, which is to be held in Kansas City, Sept 6 to 12. The official call, it is learned, has not yet gone out, as President Jones is waiting for the secretary, the Rev. T. J. Kling, D. D., of Richmond, Va., to send out the call. But it was generally understood that such a plan was consummated and that the officials of the convention, the chairman and secretaries of the various boards and many of the denomination's leading representatives would assemble with the Sunday school workers at Vicksburg from June 14-19, and that the program committee proper, which has been termed by many as the executive committee, would hold their session each afternoon while the Sunday school workers are here. MASONIC AND EASTERN STAR CHORUS ORGANIZED The Masonic and Eastern Star members who participated in the chorus on Sunday at the annual service of the Eastern Star Chapters, met Wednesday evening last for the purpose of organizing a Masonic and Eastern Star Chorus.

AN APPEAL FOR ABSENT ONES Philadelphia, Pa., April 17.—The Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention has just received notice that Miss Susie M.

The christening took place at 4:30 in the afternoon and was conducted by Rev. R. H. Singleton, pastor of St. Philip A. M. E. Church, West Broad street.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, PROGRAM OF EVENTS CHILDREN'S RACE BRUNSWICK NEWS Brunswick, Georgia, April 19th. Virgin Chapter No. 58 O. E. S. celebrated its thanksgiving at St. James A. M. E. Church last Sunday at 8 p.m. The order was well represented and the services were enjoyed by all attendants and the program was excellent, especially the paper by Miss Katie Blake and the solo by Miss Lilla Mae Rille, which were beautifully rendered.

Misses Alberta Holmes, Raymond Lewis, Lillian Johnson, Pauline Nelson and Gladia Waldau will spend next week in the city of Darlen, the guest of Mrs. Janie Holmes. The leaders concert at St. Paul A.M. E. Church was quite a success. It has been conceded that out of the two concerts at St. Paul, the preachers' and leaders', that the leaders excelled. I guess it is because the leaders were more comical since some of the leaders gave signs of professional comedians. The "Merry Widow Leap Year Party" at Paynes Chapel A. M. B. Church was well attended. Rev. L. B. Harris is a stirring thing and if he doesn't succeed as here toforge it will not be because he is not hustling. Rev. Harris is on the job.

Interest in the ticket selling contest is at a great height. and scarcely a person who intended going out to the park to see the boys and girls strive for the mastery on the cinder path, will escape the notice of the persisent ticket sellers.

Tennis Tournament Attracting Crowds COLLEGE AND FOREST CITY TEAMS LEADING Ladies Doubles To-day-Where They Play Next Week. The week from Saturday to Thursday saw the men's singles and the mixed doubles contests decided. These matches brought on a splendid brand of tennis and were not decided until the last leg had been played. Saturday's match saw the Forest City and Spartan Clubs as contestants in the mixed doubles; Mr. Hardy's victory in the men's singles and the Spartan victory in the ladies doubles over the Forest City were the high lights. Prof. Gaffney and Mrs. Chauncey of the Forest City club were the winners in the mixed doubles, winning from Mr. Robinson and Miss Deveaux of the Spartan, 6-3, 1-6, 6-4. This plus the victory of the same team over the College team gave the Forest City club first blood for the Balfour cup as the match counted 15 points. Monday brought together Mr. Chauncey (Forest City), and Dr. Middleton, (Spartan) in the men's singles. This resulted in A Spartan victory 4-6, 6-1, 6-0, 6-4. Tuesday Mr. Chas Bonnett (Forest City) and Mr. L. Hardy (College), locked home and after a splendid fight which no times brought the spectators to their feet with cheer. Mr. Bonnett was forced to acknowledge defeated after two hard dence sets. Mr. Hardy quickly ended the match with two straight sets. Score 7-9, 8-6, 6-3. With a victory over the Forest city club to the credit of each club, the points for the men's singles hinged on the match between the College and Spartan clubs. Before a large crowd assembled on the Spartan court, Mr. Hardy for the College and Dr. Middleton, for the Spartans, gave battle. What was expected to be a battle royal proved to be a slow and rather uninteresting match. Mr. Hardy winning by a score of 8-6, 4-6, 6-2, 6-4. Thursday's match brought out the best tennis of the week with the ladies doubles between the Spartan and Forest City clubs. A spirited and exciting match resulted in a victory for hte Spartan representatives, Misses Deveaux and Monroe, by a score of 3-6, 6-0, 6-0, against Mrs. Chauncey and Miss Gaston for the Forest City. Yesterday's match was between the Forest City and College Clubs. As was expected the match was a hard one with individual, honors, going to Mrs. Chauncey of Forrest City and Miss Rood of the College. The match went the full, three sets to a decision. The Forrest City, represented by Miss Crogman and Mrs. Chauncey, winning over the College representatives, Misses Wright and Rood, to the tune of 1-6, 6-2, 6-4. As the tournament progresses it continues to bring out more and more interest and is marked by spirited and keen rivalry and good sportsmanship. To-day's match will be the ladies' doubles between the Spartan and College on the Spartan's court. Next week's matches are as follows with the games being played on the court of the last named club: Monday—Ladies' singles, Spartan vs Forest City. Tuesday—Ladies' singles, College vs Forest City. EUREKAS v8 GA. STATE COLLEGE The Eurekn baseball team and the Georgia State College will cross bats at the baseball park on Wednesday afternoon. On account of the condition of the players on each team an interesting and exciting game is looked for. Conveniences have been made for the conveying of the patrons to the park and there is no doubt that a large crowd will be out to witness the event. The attendance of ladies is especially solicited. PAGE TWO Fashion Says "Fear Not." A Touch of Oddity in Cut or Trimming, This Season, Is the Smart Note if Harmonious BELTS RETURN TO FAVOR New York April 12. Daytime dresses this season, seem to have reached the height of perfection. There are the simplest of the simple, in designs for morning or street wear, and the dainiest, most airy possible of creations for afternoon and evening purposes. The typical summer dress is more charming than it has been for many years. It is fashioned of the fascinating voles, crepes, flouncings, and organdles favored this season, and trimmed with ribbon, lace, embroidery and beads. Beads as Trimming, White and Colored China beads are particularly effective for this purpose; these are used for yokes, collars, cuffs, and for girdles. For the taffeta afternoon dress the beads are in colors or white, according to their application. One of the © MCCALL A Becoming House Dress smartest of the imported frocks shown in New York this season, was a dark blue taffeta, trimmed with these white opaque beads arranged in conventional designs on skirt yoke, cuffs and collar, an extremely simple, long lined dress of "Lauvin's, in tan gabardine, was effectively finished by a narrow woven girdle of beads in the vivid Indian colors; this girdle was weighted with two heavy tassels, and was caught loosely about the normal waistline, knotted and allowed to fall nearly to the skirt hem on left side. The girdle composed the only bit of contrast on the dress and the effect was charming. A white head girdle on an afternoon or a dance frock of net is most effective too; the China beads may be used or the glittering crystal beads. These woven girdles give us an excellent opportunity to put into use the knowledge of bead weaving which the majority of us gained when bead embroidery was so popular a form of fancy work, some years ago. One may use her own ideas as to color combinations, this being another chance for developing personality in dress. The use of color is undoubtedly the greatest factor in obtaining the desired note of the season, therefore, one should not he-litate to use color in effective combinations, in ribbon, braids and embroidery of all kinds. The touch of handwork is introduced on frock, blouse and suit, anywhere and everywhere possible. The daytime dress of serge, natural linen or taffeta, is rendered doubly becoming by a bit of vivid wool or bead embroidery, jund the evening frock, no matter how simple, is a thing of glitter and sparkle. One should not be afraid of oddity, as long as it is harmonious. Return of Belts As girdles and belts of all descriptions are smart again this year, it will not be a difficult matter to introduce the required bit of color. Wide and narrow girdles of ribbon are smart; narrow strap belts of colored suede, soft or vivid, according to the tone of the material, encircle skirt or coat of sport costume, and the simple serge or linen frock may be girdled as soberly or as gorgeously as fashion dictates, and fashion advises fancy to be gorgeously inclined. Birds, bees, butterflies, and colored moths are being embroidered on frock and blouse, the bluebird being especially favored for light toned linens and cottons. Trimming the Small Girls' Dress Especially are these bluebirds favored for the little girl's white frock. The only thing to bear in mind, when using these motifs, is that the design must be small and the effect dainty. Feather-stitching and cross-stitch are both being used effectively on children's garments and here again we see the effect of color, for in children's fashions there is the same demand for brightness. Fashion says that small people shall be dressed quaintly and prettily, that is all, and leaves us to work out our own salvation. This is not difficult as materials are so charming and so inexpensive. There are figured and flowered dimites, dainty striped bat- itste and lawns, fascinating volles and crepes, patterned in quaint designs, and the popular embroidered flouncings. Challis and mixed fabrics are being used in the jumper dresses for the small girl, combined with glimpse, white or colored. These little dresses are often piped with emerald green or turkey red. Breakfast Gown and House Dress Not the least important detail, by any means, in the well-dressed woman's wardrobe, is the house dress. It may be the morning dress of the woman who merely supervises her household, or it may be the workaday dress of the woman who really keeps her own house, but it is as necessary as the afternoon frock or the evening gown. Fashion, too, takes a hand in its designing, cleverly introducing each © MCCALL season little innovations which make for comfort, convenience, and becoming. As the home is the woman's business, the house dress marks her as efficient or inefficient. The novelty cotton and linens are effectively used in these dresses, a figured material being trimmed with a plain, and vice versa. The breakfast dress illustrated is fashioned of a dainty figured voile, with ribbon-edged crepe collar of plain white voile. The house dress, which could quite as well serve for a street frock, developed in serge or linen, is fashioned of dark blue madras, trimmed with bands of white voile. Both designs are simple, practical and becoming. MOREHOUSE COLLEGE NOTES Atlanta, Ga., April 17—Rev. Gadson of Rome, Ga., was a visitor of the past week. He gave an encouraging talk to the students. The triangular intercollegiate debate between Morehouse, Talladega and Knokville which occurred last Friday night resulted in a triple tie, the home team winning everywhere. The question was "Resolved; That Immigration to the United States should be Restricted by a literacy test." The negative team composed of Messrs. Title, Fisher and Reid, was sent to Knoxville and made a great impression in spite of defeat. The affirmative composed of Messrs. Richards, Adams and Moore, defended the old Maroon and sent Talladega back in defeat. Richards opened the debate with a good speech and Adams game along with a most persuasive argument and rebuttal that put the opponents to flight. The judges were Dr. O'Connel of Gammon Theological Seminary, Prof. J.H. Lewis of Morris Brown University and Mr. George Hall of Howard University. The Senior Class was entertained by Mrs. M. R. Howard Sdratuay night at the home of Mrs. Settles. The college orchestra and quartette gave a sacred concert Sunday night at the Georgia School of Technology. In a very loosely played game, the Moorehouse team went down in defeat before the strong Morris Brown aggregation. Kennedy was pitted against Williams and pitched quite well, but his support was miserable. The Tigers hit Williams freely, but never showed ALL ABOARD!

AMONG THE MASONS The teachings of the lodge room, along with other leavening influences, are playing a part in the work of man's getting better acquainted with his brother. Masonic brotherhood will yet prevail in every land. Masonry stands for all that is best and highest in our nature. Masonry has been and will ever be a factor in uplifting mankind. Love for God and love for man are the principal teachings of Masonry. Every Mason should seek peace and pursue it; should promote harmony and prevent dissension; and should endeavor to bring all men under the reign of a universal brotherhood. A Quaint Legend The Masonic fraternity, says the Montreal Star, has a quaint old legend, which has come down from very ancient times, from the days when the fraternity was on operative one, and engaged in the building of the vast cathedrals, abbeys, castles, etc., throughout Europe, some of which are still in existence and incite the interest and wonder of the people of to-day, and are the pride of the state or locality wherein they are situated. The legent states that once in every year, as the deep toned bells of the Strassburg cathedral pealed out the solemn hour of midnight, the spirits of the ancient stonemasons, by whose patient and skillful hands that magnificent and sacred edifice was erected, issue from the tomb and turn again to inspect the result of their former labors. Up from the gloomy tomb they come, along the dim majestic aisles, and across the marble pavement, with noiseless and slow steps. The apprentices with their heavy burdens, the craftsmen with their tools, and the masters with their compasses, stream forth in long and shadowy train, wind three times around those noble wails, then vanish until another year calls them forth.—Exchange. When you have a plan to carry thru in lodge, be open with it. Don't work secretly. If your plan is alright, present it and talk openly. Be sunny and plain. Say what you have to say and then let those who think differently have their say. Then vote and abide by results. It is not differences of opinion that do harm in a lodge; it is the unfraternal method of doing things.—The Gavel. The Measure of a Mason Masonry teaches many things—of many kinds—but perhaps none of the works of the craft is more important than the ability and opportunity it gives men to judge their fellowmen correctly. There may be much of original sin and the "Old Adam" in all mankind, but as a matter of fact there is good in all. Masonry helps to bring that to the surface; and in our Masonic relations, one with the other, we learn to search for and appreciate that good. A man may appear self-centered and cold to the eye of the casual observer; but his lodge brethren who see him carrying consolation to the home of sorrow or extending aid to the father less, know that a forbidden exterior is not the true index of his character. Having learned this lesson of charitable judgment concerning their brethren, the wise Mason will extend the application of that rule to all mankind and will be the happier for it. Sometimes the weakness that stirs our disdain may be a figment of the imagination; but even if it is not, human nature should not be judged by its weakest qualities. The merchant in reporting general trade, conditions would not be making a just estimate if he based his report upon the dullest month in the year. A farmer does not make his average crop returns correctly if he picks out the yield from the poorest acre on his farm. The weather of the year is not indexed by the rainy days of March. There is a side of everyone which re-embles the dull week, the barren field, the storm-swept sky, but these alone do not make up the real measure of a man. If we want to appraise our fellow-man at his true value we must take into consideration the best to which they have attained, and we must estimate the undeveloped best of which they may be capable. As one has said, "While ebb-tide lays bare a ragged margin, unsightly perhaps in its fangled disarray, it is the high-water mark that tells the real strength of the sounding sea." Masonry develops the gentle and the better side of man. It teaches him to be charitable in his judgment of of others and to look for the best that is in them. It should be the pleasure as well as the duty of every Mason to act as a peacemaker, not as a strife-breeder. Symbolic Masonry contains vast stories of wisdom, and almost any of her truths are capable of marvelous application.—Masonic Monthly. One Not Rusty Speaking of "rusty" Masons reminds me of way back in 1867 when I received the Blue Lodge degree. I used to hear brethren say they were rusty and did not believe they could work their way into a lodge. I made the remark that if they had learned thoroughly their lectures I did'n see how they could become rusty. One old brother said, "You are young at the business, and it is something new to you. You wait a few years and you will sing a different tune." That was forty-five years ago, 'and, to use a slang phrase, I,m "onto my job," in that respect, equal to the time I received the degrees, and can work my way into any lodge on the surface TEN DAYS' FREE EXAMINATION RETURN IT IF YOU WISH The time has come when everybody needs a typewriter.

May we not expect several others? The frutility of the punitive expedition into Mexico will not increase the respect of the Mexicans for our country. This is another evidence of democratic blunder and emphatically denotes that party as being unfit to properly handle the affairs of this great nation. As a towering figure over any personage, Col Roosevelt cannot be discounted. The nearer the time approaches for the National Convention, the more it is apparent that the voters of the country are liable to call him to leadership. This is a fact that is difficult to combat. This week we are publishing the official list of officers and members of the Republican State Central Committee. To the knowing ones it is amusing to note the funny sayings of Mr. Jackson, the amateur leader of Republican factionists in this state. Before the expiration of many moons Mr. Jackson will be a wiser and more experienced politician. From 1900 to 1910 the rate of increase of population of our people in this country was 11-2 per cent, while that of the whitee was 22-3. This showing is gratifying when it is understood that the increase of our people was natural, while that of the whites was largely his immigration. Our people in every respect are holding their own. In a leading editorial The Sun, New York, under the head, "Let the President Get his Out of His mind!" made the annexed salient observation: "Even when face to face with such complete problems of international policy as confront him today President Wilson continues to cherish it mistaken their "He is not the President of Humanity. He is the President of the United States. "His duties are not vague and general, or diffused throughout the earth in the performance of what he is accustomed to style "service" His duties are specific, they are confined to the interest of the United States, not to the general moral law. "If he will get out of his mind the confusion of official responsibility which he manifested in his speech at the Jefferson day banquet, the difficult task now confronting him will become less difficult." The newspapers and printers of the country, possibly, are "harder hit", than any other business on account of the high cost of paper, card board, ink rollers, metal, etc. The news papers are suffering considerably on account of this increased cost without a commensurate price of subscription. It was Lincoln who stated that "I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true." And may that be the determination of every young man of the race. From the trend of events Col. Roosevelt will surely supply Mr. Wilson in the White House. The muddle of the Odd Fellows' affairs in the state continues in chaos. In the mean time the lawyers are increasing their fee as well as the cost of the court. And the innocents will have to foot the bill. Race institutions and movements would succeed far better were there not so much down right cussedness and latent selfishness and prejudice. TO THE CALANTHE OF GEORGIA Darien, Ga., April 17, 1916 To every Calanthe in the Jurisdiction of Georgia: Greetings. My dear sisters and brothers. We appreciate your hearty response to the call of our grand worthy counsellor, Mrs. R. L. Barnes, in our "booster campaign." We have gained 2,000 new members, and they are still coming. Because of this fact our grand worthy counsellor has extended the time of soliciting for new members until May 15, 1915. We want 1,000 more new material and we will get it in the next 30 days if every member will do his whole duty. Let every deputy put forth new efforts in their district to make theirs the best report. We must add to our ranks to make up for those whom death has claimed. Therefore, let me urge you to rally to the support of this campaign and the call of our leader, Sister Barnes. The honor roll will be called at the Albany session and we hope that every individual member's name will be on the roll. Remember the slogan "1,000 more new members by May 15th." Success can only come through untiring efforts, so let us not get weary in well doing. Let us follow our grand worthy counsellor whose wisdom has brought us safely thru. LOURS for the cause in F.

THE MAYOR OF NEW YORK MR. ROBERT McNICHOLS The above is a likeness of Mr. Robert A. McNichols, who has served in the drugstore of Solomons Co., for more than fifteen years. He is an all round hustler and thoro business man. Mr. McNichols is commander of the local camp of American Woodmen of this city. This camp has nearly one hundred members including many of our best citizens. The American Woodmen is a Negro or whose membership is com- tirely of Negroes, and all of our officers are Negroes. No white is anything to do with its man- ment or affairs in any way what- ever, except that its books and ac- counts are examined each year by the insurance commissioners of the various states. It carries the National Fraternal Congress rates on a graduated basis, which is the only method sanctioned by the leading insurance men or insurance laws of the various states. A society operating in any other manner is doing so without the sanction of the law. When it is considered that one at the age of 34 may carry a policy of $500 for $1.25 per month, including all dues whatsoever, both local and supreme, and that the benefits including sickness, accident, burial old age and death, and never an extra assessment; no sensible person will deny that it is most reasonable, and much less than the usual "fraternal" with its everlasting assessments and taxations. Let it also be remembered that one at the same age may carry $250 for 900 per month or $1,000 for $2.30 per month. We confine our membership to the best class of colored people. This order is operating thru the South and has written more than $20,000,000.00 twelve million dollars worth of insurance. It has been operating here in the city of Savannah for more than ten years and has paid many thousands of dollars to beneficiaries here besides large accounts for sick and accident benefits. Every claim is promptly met and the beneficiary often receives the claim before the deceased is buried. Mr. William Protho who belonged to the camp here, died Saturday morning, April 15th, and his sister was paid the claim of $500 that evening. In Florida and many other Southern states the American Woodmen has a larger membership than any other fraternity. This society stands for colored people what the Woodmen of the World does to whites. Its headquarters are in Denver Col., and is licensed in every state of the South and West. Please consult Eugene Fields at 625 W. Bolton street or Robert McNichols at 527 Henry street, or Dr. Pinckney, West Bryan street. Joining fee of $2.50 is now on. Big meeting and free banquet at Duffy Street Odd Fellows Hall Monday night, May 2nd when the supreme commander will be with us. Public is invited. Come out and hear some truths about fraternal insurance. MORTUARY Shem B. Cooper, Sr. Mr. Shem B. Cooper, after an illness of more than a year, died early yesterday morning at his residence, 531 Jefferson street. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 8 o'clock from the F. A. B. Church, Bolton and West Broad streets, of which he was a deacon. The deceased was 63 years old and was born in this city. He was one of the oldest letter carriers here, having been in the service for 40 years, and was still active in that capacity, up to the time of his illness. He was well known and a useful citizen to the community. He is survived by a wife, one son, four daughters and three grand children. The funeral services of Mr. W. B. Protho, whose death occurred on last Saturday morning at his residence, 450 Montgomery street, took place at 6:30 o'clock on last Sunday evening at St. Philip A. M. E. Church, West Broad street. Rev. R. H. Slimleton the pastor officiated. The remains were taken THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE to Griffin, Ga., for burial. The deceased was 41 years old and had lived in this city for 16 years. He was a member of Chas, Sumner Lodge, K. of P. and the American Woodmen. He is survived by a father, five brothers, four sisters and other relatives. IN MEMORIAM In loying remembrance of my dear friend, Miss Pheoble Nobles who departed this life April 20, 1915. Whereas it has pleased Almighty God to permit the great enemy, death, to creep in so suddenly and take from our midst the soul of our deceased friend, Miss Pheoble Nobles. Whereas, we feel that though our loss which has been felt so keenly, heaven has gained a precious jewel.

Lindsay Mr. Isaac Flisher, the noted essay writer and prize winner, the faithful disciple of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, the founder and organizer of the National Negro Business League, said in a recent letter, which sayings were copied by a good number of race journals thrust out the country, "If a Negro in business expects to get and hold the trade of other Negroes with money in hand to spend for their needs and wants, that Negro's stock and other salable things would have to consist of more than the mere fact I am a Negro." Others of us as well as Mr. Fisher, knows full well that this, with some, is an unpopular statement to make, while each of us knows it to be true. It is, indeed, unpopular in a good many instances to give some of our people t he truth and nothing else but the truth with reference to certain conditions which we are meeting and every day. We are also reminded of the fact that it is not enough to call one's attention to the illis or misfortunes with which he or she may be afflicted, but, on the other hand, a remedy for the illis of such misfortunes is the crying need of the hour. When a member of our race is falling, and, in fact, is really losing out in his business, it will not take a philosopher or a Solomon to understand that such a person is gradually allowing his business to slip away from him, but on the contrary, most any ordinary person can see and in most cases, tell when a business is gradually going to the wall. Now, in such cases, the thing most needed is a remedy to bring that business up and put it on a paying basis. The question in such cases up for settlement is simply this: Who has the remedy? If the remedy is found, then, the next question, how shall the remedy be applied? Mr. Fisher in his splendid letter of a very recent date, dealing with the Negro engaged in business, is of the opinion that the Negro, as a business factor in this country must compete with the other races who are engaged in the same class of business as himself. Mr. Fisher can see no reason why the Negro business man should be paid a half cent a pound more for sugar than the Greek on the corner asks for his. He falls to see why the Negro business man's store cannot be kept as clean and as free from cob webs, fly specks and dust and as well ventilated and as sanitary as the Dutchman's shop on the corner. And permit us to add, that we can see no reason why a Negro insurance office should not be just as clean and as first class in every respect as the insurance offices conducted by the other fellow. We can see no reason why Negro insurance collectors can not be just as accommodating to the people whom they serve from time to time as the other fellow. We can see no reason why these Negro collectors cannot remove their hats from their heads on entering the homes of other members of the race, and take their cob-pipes out of their mouths and put the prefix "Mr.", "Mrs" or "Miss to those who give them the clothes they wear on bodies, the shoes they have on their feet, and, in fact, gave them all they possess in the world; in short, we are saying: if the other fellow does all of these things (?) and if that has been the thing which has caused him in some cases to beat the Negro insurance man handling his own people, then, we say to the Negro insurance man, "go thon and do likewise." There are any number of Negro enterprises among us which have passed the experimental stage. These concerns, many of them, have ceased to ask for support, encouragement and patronage on the ground alone that they are being owned operated and conducted by members of the race, but, on the contrary, they are saying, we can and will meet any honest and sane competition. What more can any business concern do? Negro banks, like the banks conducted by members of other races, pay interest of five percent on time deposits and six per cent on savings. Negro insurance companies pay as much for your dime as do the companies conducted by the other feddow. The Negro real estate broker sends his agent or collector around to collect his rent, once a month and some time every Monday morning just like the other fellow. The Negro physician, who passed the board of examiners, headed by a member of the other race, can roll a pill or fill a capsule as quik and as accurate as any other pill roller it doesn't matter to what race he belongs. In mentioning the little good things the race has accomplished in the last forty or fifty years, it is not done in an effort to make believe that we have attained to perfection. Nor anything like it, but we are simply trying to show that with the drawbacks and hinderances which we have had together with me racial mistrust on the part of some, and we have succeeded in overcoming as well, as we have in so short a time, we rise to remark, "it does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know, in due time we will reap if we faint not." Come early to your next meeting, Wednesday evening, May 3, bring a friend. WASHINGTON, D. C. NEWS Rev. C. H. Stepteau has been rotuned to the pastorate of Metropolitan A. M. B. Church for his third year. Miss Mary V. Dickerson, a prominent teacher at the Myrtilla Miner Normal school, of this city, died Monday at Wilberforce, O., where she was visiting relatives. --- Mr. C. C. Spaulding, secretary and general manager of the North Carolina Mutual and Providence Association, Durham, N. C., has been in the city this week arranging for the entrance of his company to the District to do a general insurance business. --- A decision is expected shortly in the case of Dr. W. Bruce Evans, former principal of Armstrong Manual Training school, who a few weeks ago asked that the Supreme Court of the District issue a mandamus compelling the board of education to relinstate him alleging that he had been unlawfully dismissed. The evidence at the hearing before Justice Stafford was strongly in favor of Dr. Evans and it is confidently believed that the final decision will order his relinstatement, with back salary aggregating about $11,000. Altho Prof. John T. Layton has been dead several weeks, no steps seem to have been taken with reference to naming his successor as assistant director of music in the public schools. Miss Marle C. James, a competent musician, is said to be in the logical line of promotion, but it is not known whether seniority or some other method will be utilized to find a successor to the deceased director. Miss Charlotte M. Wallace, Prof. W. A. Adams, Miss Lola Johnson, Prof. Roy W. Tibbs and others are mentioned in connection with the place. Some think the authorities may go outside of the city for a director. Much mystery now surrounds the matter and it is impossible to get an inkling from the board of education as to how the many aspirants stand with the powers that be. The effort of certain school officials to reduce, Miss Sarah J. Janifer, one of the District's most efficient teachers, was a failure. So was the effort on the part of the said school officials to keep the news in the dark. The segregation law is before the Supreme Court of the United States in aform that will probably call for a decision fully as squarreed as that which the grandfather clause received. The decision will not be handed down for some time yet, but the best lawyers say the segregation statutes of the cities that have them will not hold water when the constitution is placed beside them.

If you awake in the morning 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 mucus 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.

Webster, Principal Normal Dept., Atlanta University It was a breathless moment. The last speaker had said his last word in rebuttal, and had taken his seat. Already the applause had dled away, and the sealed envelopes enclosing the decisions of the judges were in the hands of the presiding officer. Slowly he opened one, and read, "For the Negative." That was against us but it might be two to one. The second envelope was opened. "For the negative." The visiting team had clearly won, but a decision of one to two was better than nothing. Now the third envelope was opened and the words again clearly came, "For the Negative." It was all over. The defeated team walked across the hall and with true courtesy, congratulated the visitors, and again the currents of life assumed their normal flow. The psychological processes of the visitors were perhaps easy to understand. They had won. They had worked hard. They had put up the best arguments. Deserved success had come to them. The mental processes of the defeated team were more complex. What had been the cause of the drastic defeat? The team could take no comfort in the fact of defeat, but might take a little satisfaction in the thought that they had defended the harder side of the proposition, and the unpopular side. Possibly the judges had found it difficult to distinguish between the merits of the question and the merits of the debate. At any rate—but why go on further—we were defeated; that was enough. As I left the hall that night my mind was "big blooming, buzzing confusion." I had learned that we had too many ships engaged in the South American trade, and that these were following their schedules carrying ballast for merchandise. I learned also, that we had too few vessels in that trade with the result that freight rates were high, and commodities from South American advancing in price. I had been told that our little attempt at subsidy in the past had been failures; and that they had been pronounced successes, leading to competition in the world's markets and resultant diminished freight rates and the savings of millions to my countrymen. Moreover, a subsidized merchant marine would be a valuable auxiliary to our navy in time of war; and it would be of no avail. Furthermore, American shipping dotted every sea; and the Stars and Stripes were conspicuous in the ports of the world, not by their presence, but by their absence. These facts seemed mutually destructive. But I recalled that a similar confusion as to fact and facts had puzzled me in other debates, and I accepted them as due to the limitations of the the debates. Nevertheless, I somehow have wished that delatters could agree upon their facts, and argue the matter out on fundamental principles. Could not the defeated team by carrying the question up into some large atmosphere in which all debated questions found a common solution have turned defeat into victory? Later that night I found myself giving the rebuttal. "Honorable Judges," I was saying. "Let us sweep away all these questions of detail and difference of fact and bring the question up to one of large policy. From the days of Washington and Hamilton to now, we have defended our infant industries by protection until we have made them only second among the nations of the world. Let us similarly build up a protected merchant marine that shall control our due portion of the world's commerce, and enriche our country, even as our protective tariff has made us the richest country on the globe. All that we demand is that some principle applied to our commerce that for more than a century we have applied to our manufacturers." As I spoke I saw each of the judges rewrite his ballot, and—I awoke. Is it possible to separate the merits of the question from the merits of the debate? It is interesting that in this triangular debate two of the debates were won by the negative. It would help this particular question if the third debate could have come off, and a comparison of results have been made. Interesting that in a similar triangular debate held during this same week that in each case the affirmative won, this result accruing to the home team In a northern triangle the two teams of one university won both debates. That is, both sides of the question were successfully defended. This has been done more than once, and this militates against the supposition that it is impossible to distinguish between the merits of the question and those of the debate. Nevertheless, it is one of the sources of consolation allowed the defeated team. And there must occasionally be debates which have thus been won, on the question, not on the debate. A certain judge was criticized for deciding against a fine defence of Free Trade. To his critics he replied: of 'Free Trade.' To the question, Shall our college youth continue to argue questions under the artificial conditions that must prevail, there is room for debate. In actual practice the debate runs on until both sides reach common if compromise ground and action follows. But in college debate the conditions are fixed; each speaker has eighteen minutes for his main argument, and seven for his rebuttal. This means one hour of actual time put into the debate. The audience will weary beyond that. But may it not be a good thing for students to see that to every question there are two sides, and to get the judicial attitude of mind rather than that of the special pleader. Is it not well to learn how to hunt up and weigh authorities and to learn to say much in eighteen minutes; or more in rebuttal seven. And this practice in rebuttal is most valuable. The ability to spring to one's feet and control one's thoughts and give it effective expression is a power to be coveted. One thing I would like in control of the debate; that which is allowed in parliamentary discussion; the right to spring to one's feet, and exclaim. Mr. Chairman, I rise to a point of order;" this to be used whenever any debater used argument or evidence which by the rules of intercollegiate rebate is not admissible. But in the heat of the debate and in the limitation of time it gets in and does not get out, and may have its effect of the decision, the it should not be there. In illustration, in a Free Trade versus Protection de- late, one debater brought in the fact that the question was hardly worth debating as the government had in recent legislation reaffirmed the principle of Protection. This at once took the debate out of the realm of the philosophy involved in the realm of practical politics. The argument was inadmissible, but somehow by the rules of the game was allowed to have its effect in the decision. But the judges are much in the position of the umpire. The business of the umpire is not so much to render a perfectly fair decision, the this should be his aim, as to open the way for the game to go on. THINGS AS SEFN BY HARDSTEW Denmark, S. C.—Getting around over this country is a very nice thing and I enjoy to much getting around because there is so much to be seen, and so much to be learned. I never get tired of learning things about this country, and yet I have not been active in getting them to you these days, but I believe that I am going to be better in the future if you will only forgive me this time. I have been doing some moving since I wrote to you the last time, and I will do some more before you can read this letter, so just wait and marin- not. I find that everywhere the people are getting ready for the future, and the men of this country are trying to decide on a president of the United States. They are now selecting men to go to the various conventions that are to be held and there put in their off- to select the right man for the place and then put him before the people that they may have a change to "tote" the banner. We have had for four years President Wilson, and of course he has not been perfect in all things, and it would not be expected, because he is a human being subject to mistakes just like other men. It is not my intention to discuss his faults or his virtues, and you must not expect me to do this. While the various political parties are getting ready to select men of greatness, I find that the Methodist bodies are getting ready to do the same thing. The Methodist Episcopal church will hold a general conference in New York State, and the A. M. E. church will hold a general conference in Philadelphia while the A. M. E. Zion will be called upon to meet in Louisville, Ky. An effort will be made to get a bishop in the Methodist Episcopal church for our people. There is much division on this subject, and I shall wait with pleasure to see what the future will bring. They can make one if they will, but I don't know about the will. In the A. M. E. Church, there is a question as to whether or not any new bishops will be needed. The old men who are now in want to close the doors, and those who want, to get in want to open it. Now these two forces will come together in May, and the one will have to give way to the other, and which side it will be I don't know. Strong men are to be found everywhere. They are getting in the work. Of course you know that Georgia will go to Philadelphia back of Dr. W. A. Fountain of Atlanta, president of Morris Brown University, for the highest honor in his church. Dr. Fountain is well qualified, and will render a service to his church if elected. The Rev. Dr. Singleton will support, him as will others. To have t he support of Dr. THE SAVANNAN TRIBUNE Singleton, means so much to any man. He is one of the best men in the African Methodist Church. He is devoted to his home, to his wife, to his I am not to talk about church politics now, although things are warm, around and about the church buildings. Rev. Hair, of Jackson, Miss., is going to try to defeat Dr. B. F. Watson. Not that he has anything against Dr. Watson, but he would like to have the job, and that is the only reason. Rev. B. F. Watson as secretary of the church extension has given great service and should be continued, because he understands the work and is doing it in great shape. Why change him? I am sure that this will not be done. Leaving off church matters, let me tell you a few places I have been and some of the things I have seen, and when I am through you will let me off. I have spent two weeks in Florida, ending with a trip to the city of Jacksonville, which I will mention just a little later. In the state, I went to St. Augustine, Palatka, Daytona, Miami, Tutuville, DeLand, Eatonville, Orlando, Tampa, Ocala and then back to Jacksonville. In DeLand I had the pleasure of meeting young J. W. Wright, who is one of the orange men of the state, and a big one at that. He has many orange groves and supplies the market with oranges by the thousands of boxes, and in this he gives employment to many of our people. Mr. Wright has a beautiful home right out in the country. I went from him to Orlando, where I found that one of our physicians was in trouble and was about to be lynched. It was in the person of Dr. J. H. Thompson, who had whipped a white man, and they wanted to lynch him, and perhaps would have done so, but for the sheriff who got him away quickly, just a few weeks ago Dr. G. N. Barlow, a young white druggist, had some words with Dr. Thompson in the store, and when the Doctor went to go out he slipped up behind him and with something knocked him down and beat him over the head. Of course all the white folks were proud and congratulated the young man on having heat a "nigger", and it made him feel so big that he though he could do it again. He liked to be praised. He met his man on the street and started again, then they were face to face and the doctor gave an upper-cut which sent him to the ground, and then he jumped his white assailant and whipped him good. That night a mob was formed, but the sheriff hearing of it in time carried the prisoner to another town to another jail and there was no lynching in town that night. I will not be able to tell you about Tampa, but will jump right into the city of Jacksonville, and tell you that I have never been in a greater meeting. They had a meeting I had never heard of before. It was called "Founder's Day" at the Florida Baptist Academy, of which Prof. N. W. Collier is president. The people came together and told of the school and how it started, and then put down some money to help on a new building. They had two speakers a white man and a black man, and to save my life I don't know which was which, but I heard the speeches just the same. Rev. S. D. Rogers, D. D., secretary of the Board of Missions for the Florida Baptist convention, was the white speaker, and Charles Stewart, repre-ented our side of it. They say that they had two good speakers, and they told the story. Charles H. Anderson, the business man, treasurer of the National Negro Business League, banker and fish dealer was the next speaker. He was not exactly a fixed-speaker but he took up the money, and believe me he knows how to do this kind of business. I saw them raise the money, and then after getting around the streets a little I left for Savannah, Ga. I only spent a few hours in this city, and many of you people did not get to see me. I went over to the Wage Earners Bank, and took a ride with the president and to the home of the teller, where I had me some real dinner, then called on Rev. W. Boltvar Davis, at his church, went to The Tribune office, to talk with the editor, but he was out of town. I shall have something to say to you about the bank and about Sayannah in my next letter. I want to thank the editor, or them bankers, and Rev. Singleton for the courtesies, and now I am here. I am visiting the Voorhees Normal and Industrial School, of which Prof. Martin A. Menafee is acting president, and treasurer. They have a real president who will be on hand next year. This school was established by Miss Elizabeth Wright, who, after getting it in good shape for going, went home to rest. She is missed, but the work continues to go on, and many young people are being helped. They are doing their part of the work, I am proud to say. Look out for my next letter, and the next one. I am going to have more to say to you good people. C. J. Hardstew. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson IV.—Second Quarter, April 23, 1916. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, I Cor. xv, 1-28. Memory Verses, 3, 4—Golden Text, I Cor. xv, 20—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. It is a great privilege to have before us so constantly in the lessons of this year the great fact of a risen living Christ, so that we may be said to have many Easter lessons instead of, as in other years, only one in the year. The lesson chapter for today is pre-eminently the resurrection chapter, leading us on to the resurrection of the righteous Head and the translation of the righteous who shall then be alive and encouraging the saints to constant victory through our Lord Jesus Christ and to be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord (verses 50-53). Let us notice first what the messenger says of himself. Although he has been forgiven, he cannot forget that he was once a persecutor of the church of God, but he always magnifies the grace of God which saved such a sinner, and he calls himself the least of the apostles. Later he says that he is less than the least of all saints, and still later he calls himself the chief of sinners (verses 9, 10; Eph. ill, 8; I Tlm. 1, 15). That is true growth in grace, for as we learn to know our Lord better we cannot but sink lower in our own estimation. The whole world is guilty before God, and "sinner" is the only fit-name for every one without exception. But He came to save sinners, and only by His merits can any one be saved, so that it is never a question of what we are or what we can do, but only Who is He and what can He do? As to the message, the gospel by which we are saved, it is that Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day and was seen alive many times by His disciples and, last of all, by the writer of this epistle, who saw Him after He had ascended to heaven (verses 1-9). Paul did not think out these things, he received them and delivered them as he received them (verse 3). No minister of the gospel is expected to think out his own thoughts and put them into the form of a sermon or essay and give them to the people as bread from heaven. But the true messenger of God must receive the message from God and deliver it as such, not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power (I Cor. 11, 4). The prophets were to speak only what God told them, and even our Lord Jesus was told by His Father what to say (Jer. 1, 7-9; Ezek. 11, 7; Ill. 4; Deut. xvill. 18; John xil. 49, 50). The messenger who speaks merely out of his own heart his own message is not a true messenger (Jer. xxll, 16, 26). As well might Israel think to manufacture their own mana as for a preacher to get up or think out his own discourse. Then notice how Paul repeats the words, "According to the Scriptures" (verses 3, 4), and remember how the risen Christ opened and expounded the Scriptures by Moses and the prophets and also the Psalms (Luke xxiv, 27, 32, 44; Acts 1, 3). There are four great truths which we cannot magnify enough—the supernatural birth of Christ by the Holy Spirit. His bearing our sins on the cross as our substitute, His resurrection from the dead and His coming again to set up His kingdom of righteousness and peace on this earth. Apart from His resurrection from the dead there is no forgiveness, no salvation, no glorious future for any one, but that great event secures all and enables us to see ourselves as risen with Christ and seated with Him in the heavenles, He our life, our affections there and we waiting with Him for the completion of His body, the church (verses 14-20; Eph. ii, 4-6; Col. ill, 1-4). Bellevers now being gathered from all nations to form His body must have their resurrection bodies in order to be fit companions for Him when He shall come to reign. Christ the first fruits rose from the dead three days after His crucifixion and forty days later ascended visibly to heaven, where He waits for His completed body, which the Holy Spirit is gathering. At His coming all the bodies of His redeemed shall be raised and the living believers changed, and all together meet Him in the air for the judgment seat of Christ and the marriage of the Lamb. Then He shall return with His saints to judge the living nations and to begin His reign, for He must reign till He shall have subdued all things unto Himself and conquered the last enemy—death (verses 23-26). The "afterward" of verse 23 covers all the present age between the resurrection of Christ and that of His redeemed. The "then" of verse 24 covers all the millennial age when He, with His saints, shall be reigning and subduing all things unto Himself (verse 25; Rev. v, 9, 10; xx, 4). He will not begin His reign till we come back with Him in His glory. Then shall be fulfilled Isa. xxxil, 1, 17. All the discipline and the training of believers now is to fit us to reign with Him in His kingdom. The last clause of verse 28, "That God may be all in all," is the highest peak in Scripture.

BENEDICTS CHURCH Of all days Easter Sunday is the one to which our dear Lord has imparted the most splendor. There is no other day so glorious for Himself, so full of benefits for us; the miracle of the resurrection, confirms all the miracles performed by Jesus Christ. We should therefore yield to the feelings. However this joy should be pure and holy like the object of the feast itself. First mass and instruction at 7 a.m. The members of the Mutual Aid will go to holy communion in a body. Easter Sunday is a general communion day. At 8 a.m., second mass with a short sermon. Solemn high mass will be celebrated and a sermon preached at 11 a.m. The choir will furnish special Easter music, as the beautiful mass of "Guntz" and the anthem of "Regina Caeli" and "Vidi Aquam" will be sung. A special service will be held at 8 p.m., during which solemn baptism will be administered to a large class of adults. Very Rev. I. Lissner will be the celebrant. Church and altars are highly decorated on our great feast day. We adorn our churches not because God has any need of this magnificence but because we need it in order to raise ourselves toward Him. The outward apparel reminds us of the purity of heart and of all the virtues with which we should adorn our hearts and minds. It is a very laudable custom to donate candles and flowers to the church on Easter Sunday for the decoration of the sanctuary. The Catholic Mutual Aid will give a great Easter Festival on Monday THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE night, April 24th at St. Mary's Hall. Holy Thursday and Good Friday were observed as school holidays. The service on Wednesday night was hled by Rev. Father Obrecht, pastor. The ceremony of the administration of confirmation by Right Rev. Bishop Kelley will take place next month. A large class is now preparing to receive this sacrament at St. Benedict's Church. ASBURY CHURCH The spirit of the Lord has been very much in evidence among us in the past few weeks and has made glad the hearts of his servants. The services of the past Sabbath were inspiring and beneficial to all present. This has been passion week and an effort has been made to study the close of that beautiful and self-sacrificing life of our Christ. Services Sunday: 5 a. m. resurrection by District Superintendent Jus. Jackson, followed by baptism; 11 a. m. preaching by the pastor, followed by infant baptism; 3:30 p. m.

The lesson was beautifully taught. The entire morning was taken up in Sunday school work. On Sunday the B. Y. P. U. met. The tople was an interesting one and wasably discussed. This part of the church service is gaining popularity, many are joining at each service. On Sunday night the pastor preached a noble sermon taking for a text the 25th chapter of Matthew, subject "And the door was shut." The pastor was assisted by Rev. H. J. Washington and Rev. H. Rivers. These services were largely attended and were filled with inspiration. The revival is now going on. We are having interesting meetings each night and ask all to join in and help us in the work. It is worth while for you to spend the week April 24-30 attending the Bible Conference at the Second Baptist Church. FRIENDSHIP BAPTIST CHURCH Friendship Baptist Church is moving on nicely. The greatest meetings that have ever been run are being carried on now. Pastor Moody is being assisted in the meetings by Master Johnson Jenkins, a 17 year old boy preacher. It is a plea-ure to hear him. Baptism will be held Sunday at 11 a.m. At 4:30 a.m. an Easter sermon will be preached. Sunday school at 2:30; communion at 4 p.m. The boy preacher is a good speaker, come and hear him A GLORIOUS OPPORTUNITY For the first time in the history of Savannah, as far as we can recall, we are to have a Bible Conference, Rev. D. W. Cannon, educational secretary of the General Missionary Baptist State Convention of Georgia, will be the conductor. The conference is to last seven days, beginning Monday night, April 24th, closing Sunday night, April 30th. The meetings will take place at the Second Baptist Church, Houston and President streets, under the auspices of the Baptist Ministers' Union. There will be three sessions daily, namely: 10-12 in the morning, 2-4 in the afternoon and the evening session will include a sermon delivered by some able preacher. The aim of the conference is to help preachers, deacons, Christian workers and all laymen. Come bring your-bible and "spend a season on the mount with the Lord." The sessions will commence promptly, and you are requested to come and be ahead of time. The committee on recreation and amusement of the Social Service and Civic Improvement League of Wilmington, N. C., is securing a number of play-grounds for the colored children. They have purchased a coaster-slide, ocean-wave, merry-go-round and other amusements for the children. ```markdown ``` Mrs. C. J.

Lesson V.—Second Quarter, April 30,1916. Text of the Lesson, Acts xii, 1-11. Memory Verse, 11—Golden Text, Ps. xxxiv, 7—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. If the words "about that time" of verse 1 refer to the last four verses of the previous chapter, then it was about the time that Barnabas and Saul were in Jerusalem with the financial help from the believers at Antioch for the saints at Jerusalem. This would appear to be so from the last verse of our lesson chapter, so that we may think of Barnabas and Saul being at the prayer meeting in the house of Mary, who was sister to Barnabas (verse 12, Col. iv, 10). How often the first words of Gen. iii, 1, come to us as we read the Bible story or the story of the world in the daily papers or our own life story? "Now the serpent," for we are reminded by Peter that our adversary, the devil, walketh about seeking whom he may devour (I Pet. v, 8). Satan himself confessed to the Lord that it was his custom to go to and fro in the earth and walk up and down in it (Job i, 7; ii, 2). Paul tells us that our conflict is not so much with what we see as with the invisible powers of darkness, and therefore we need the whole armor of God (Eph. v, 10-18). Herod was a good servant of the devil and did quite a bit of work for him when he killed James and put Peter in prison (verses 1-3). On that last night ere our Lord was crucified, He told His followers that they might expect to be put out of the synagogue and even killed for His sake and would surely have tribulation (John xv1, 1, 2, 33). From heaven He sent word, after He had been some time there, that the devil would cast some of them into prison, but being faithful, even if they died for it, there would be a great reward (Rev. ii, 10). James, being killed, had the gain, the far better, absent from the body present with the Lord, the rest from labor, while Peter, being only imprisoned remained still where the devil could reach him if the Lord should permit. Many, however, would prefer the prison to being killed. As far as soldiers were concerned, Peter seemed to be well guarded, with no possibility of escape, but how often He that sitteth in the heavens laughs at the schemes of men when they take counsel against Him! (Ps. ii, 1-4) The believers prayed without ceasing to God for Peter, but there seemed to be no answer until the very night before Peter was to be brought forth, probably for execution. The Lord may seem to delay, but when He purposes to do a thing He is never too late. Heaven heard, and the angel came. Peter was asleep chained to two soldiers, and other two kept the door of the prison. How perfectly fascinating to see an angel work! Soldiers and doors and prison walls are no hindrance. The prison is entered; the angel awakens Peter; the chains fall off. Peter puts on some clothing by the aid of the light from the angel and follows his guide, gates and doors opening before them of their own accord, until Peter is at least one street away from the prison, thinking it all a beautiful dream or vision. The angel, having fulfilled his commission, went back to heaven. Blessed ed ministry and, oh, how wonderful! The God of Israel dooth wondrously. Peter soon came to himself and knew that he had been in very deed delivered by a messenger from heaven who never waited to be even thanked for his great kindness. They serve generally unseen and always unthanked. What allied the soldiers? Was it a sleep from the Lord, as in I Sam. xxv1, 12, or a special blindness, as in II Kings vi. 18. Well, it was a deliverance from the Lord, and nothing is too hard or wonderful for Him. (Jer. xxxil, 17). When Peter realized that he was really free and that it was neither dream nor vision he went at once where he knew they would be praying for him. But the damsel who came to the door as he knocked, recognizing Peter's voice, was so glad that she ran in without opening the door and said that Peter was at the gate. Instead of thankking God for answered prayer they told her that she was mad or beside herself. It looked as if they were asking without expecting, as we so often do. She continued to affirm that she was right, and Peter continued knocking, and when finally they did open the door there he was in very deed. What a hubbub they did make! How they did talk! Did you ever hear anything like it after prayer meeting? When they got real social, even though many of them could not speak in the meeting—could not say a word for Him who died for them. When Peter got them quiet he told what had happened and bade them tell the brethren while he went to Caesarea, perhaps to abide with Philip or Cornellus and to tell there of this wonderful deliverance. The chapter ends with the death of the keepers and also the death of Herod. An angel delivered Peter and an angel smote Herod. They are ready for errands of mercy or of judgment. They delight to do the will of God. The word of God grew and multiplied, and so it will till the kingdom comes, for His word will always accomplish His pleasure. He will watch over His word to perform it, and every purpose of the Lord shall be performed (Isa. lv, 11; Jer. 1, 12, R. V.; 11, 29). He cannot fall (Isa. xlii, 4).
