The Savannah Tribune. SCHOOL CHILDREN'S RACES TO BE HELD NEXT WEEK VOLUME XXXI Morris Brown College Closes NEARLY ELEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR EDUCATION Nurse Training Department and Fair Haven Hospital Under Supervision of College. Atlanta, Ga., April 27.—Not only did Morris Brown University have a successful closing, but a thing out of the ordinary happened. The trustees in their annual meeting, put on the table $10,038.25 for the educational work. This money came from all the charges in the state, and is the largest amount ever raised at a commencement. Another remarkable thing was the merging of the nurse training department and the Fair Haven hospital, and will be known in the future as the Fair Haven Infirmary of Morris Brown University. The exercises were set for 10 o'clock yet people gathered in the church as early as 8 o'clock. They were here from all parts of the state. Promptly at 9:30 the procession moved from the university for Bethel A. M. E Church, headed by President Fountain, and Bishop J. S. Flipper, followed by the members of the faculty, trustees and students. The line was half mile long. The programme was, the "Processional," by Miss A. A. Glaze accompanist; scripture reading by Rev. W. O. P. Sherman; invocation, Rev. S. D. Roseboro; chorus, "Heaven and Earth". Dr. W. A. Fountain, made a short address in which he said that the commencement was a little early this year on account of the general conference in Philadelphia. He expressed himself as being highly pleased with the large crowd from out of the city. "We are striving to take our place in this world as thinkers, and we are doing for ourselves," he said, "and not sitting around complaining." The programme was then rendered: "The Might of Little Things," an essay and-salutatory by Frankie Poutall; essay, "Value of an Ideal," Marie Akery; oration, "The Place of Theology in the Church To-day", Robert J. Jefferson; chorus, "Greetings to Spring"; essay, "The place of the Soul", Edith Roseboro; essay, "Vocational Education," Narve Shorter; oration, "Value of the Disagreeable," Maggie Stovall; sextette, "What from Vengences;" essay, "Normal education for our Youth," Mary Hayes; essay, "Stenography, an Important Factor in the Business World," Charlotte Jenrose; oration, "Man a Questioner", B. C. Dawson; essay, "The Aesthetic Nature of Man," Pansy Bryant; oration and valedictory, The Hyphothesis of Life," Benjamin F. Cofer; chorus, "The Lost Chord." Diplomas to the graduates were presented by President Fountain and Bishop J. S. Flipper, delivered an address. He told how the merging of the hospital had been accomplished and what it meant to the whole race as well as to Morris Brown University. Rev. Dr. John A. Gregg, President of Edward Waters College, delivered the annual commencement sermon Sunday morning at Bethel A. M. E. church. The Rev. Dr. R. W. Mence, of Charleston, S. C., delivered the literary address to the societies Tuesday night. This has been perhaps the most successful year in the history of the institution, and Dr. W. A. Fountain, has won a place in the hearts of the people. He goes to the general conference in Philadelphia with the indorsement of the whole state of Georgia and the hope that he be returned to them a bishop. For years, an effort has been made to make the nurse training department of Morris Brown University a reality, and this was accomplished by Dr. Fountain, and for which he was widely commended by Dr. W. B. Summerall, superintendent of Grady hospital, of Atlanta, one of the largest and best in the south. Dr. W. S. Elkins, Jr., of the Atlanta Wholesale Drug Company, not only delivered an address commending Dr. Fountain, but put down $10 and pledged the drug supply. PASTOR'S FIRST ANNIVERSARY All members of the F. A. B. church Franklin square, are requested to be present at one or all of the services Sunday, May 7th. the pastor's first anniversary. A brief report of the year's work will be read by the pastor. A cordial invitation is extended the public. White Receiver Appointed By Court B. J. DAVIS, FORMER SECRETARY, ON TOP Unexpected Turn in Grand United Order of Odd Fellows Affairs The following article was clipped from the Atlanta Journal concerning the case of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, which has been in the courts since last January: "Affairs of the district grand lodge of colored Odd Fellows were placed in the hands of a receiver by Judge. George L. Bell of the superior court. Tuesday afternoon and the lodge will continue to operate its insurance feature through the receiver. Attorney J. A. Branch was named by Judge Bell as the receiver and was authorized to employ B. J. Davis, former secretary of the colored Odd Fellows' lodge, to assist in the work of handling the affairs of the organization. "John D. Humphrey was named as auditor to hear demurrers, and amendments and to pass on all legal questions not decided by the court. "The receiver was given power to receive funds and carry on the business of the lodge as it was previously conducted, and subsidiary lodges, some of which had been barred from membership, were reinstated in their former positions, to make payments to the district lodge as formerly. "The Odd Fellows case has been on trial before Judge Bell several weeks. Assets of the organization approximate $600,000." It is understood that the Pharrow-Grave-Daniels faction will carry the matter to the supreme court.

Programs have been prepared for four nights in the week, beginning Monday night at St. Philip church, Wednesday night at First Bryan Baptist church; Thursday night at St. James A. M. E. church, and Friday night at Beth Eden Baptist church. The purpose of the observance is to disseminate knowledge which will tend to decrease the high Negro death rate and to give enlightening information on the diseases to which the Negro is most susceptible. Several years ago, under the auspices of the Urban League, a similar observance was held here and much benefit was derived from it. The holding of a health week this year gives promise of equally as much good being derived. Many prominent speakers have been secured for the four night celebration and a large crowd is expected out each night. The programs to be rendered are: Monday Night Invocation.

REID'S GENERALSHIP Conducted a Record Breaking Rally of Three Days The members and friends of the F. A. B. Church, Bolton street, have crowned themselves with glory and proved what a determined set of people can do with the proper leadership. At the service on Thursday night of last week, Rev. D. Augustine Reid, the pastor, announced the necessity of raising the hundred dollars by the following Monday. He presented his plans and organized the members for the work. They only had Friday, Saturday and Sunday. At the closing of the service Sunday night the sum aimed at was raised and every member and friend was happy over the unexpected result, and they are receiving the plandits of the people for what they have accomplished. Rev. Reid's ability as a financer is well known, and the members of this church are indeed lucky in having him as their pastor TIMELY ADDRESS DELIVERED Rev. Martin at St. Paul Church Spoke Along Helpful Lines Sunday night winds up the special addresses given by Rev. Martin at St. Paul C. M. E. church.

NUMBER 26 Baseball League Make Good Start ATTENDANCE AT OPENING GAME ENCOURAGING Urban League and Adelphias Win Opening Games With Home Boys and Piney Woods Playing To-day The Negro Social Club Baseball League opened its season last Monday at Athletic park. The attendance at both the opening game and the one on Wednesday was encouraging. The Urban League Team won the opener in a fast eleven innings struggle from the Young Adelphias by a score of 6 to 5. A long drive by Smith which would have easily netted him a home run, sent his team mate across the plate with the deciding run of the game. Smith was the star of the day and displayed much playing ability, his work on third base was good, along with his bating made him the idol of the fans.

Spartans Win Tennis Tournament GET FIRST LEG ON BEAUTIFUL BALFOUR CUP Tournament Ended Monday With Victory of Spartans Over College The local tournament closed on Monday afternoon with the last match between the Spartan Club and the G. S. I. C. club in the men's doubles. The match attracted the largest and most enthusiastic gathering of the tournament, this being due to the fact that possession, of the Balfour cup for the ensuing six months hinged on the result of this match. After three hard and interesting sets Messrs. Hardy and Wright had to admit defeat at the hands of their opponents, Messrs. Robinson and Middleton to the score of G-1, G-2 and B-6. This victory, together with the victory won by the Misses Monroe and Deveaux in the ladies' doubles, gave the Spartans 50 points to the Forest City's 30 and the College's 20. Backward glances over the playing throughout the tournament show the best tennis was played by the Misses Deveaux and Monroe for the Spartans, Mrs Chaucey of Forest City and Miss Rood, of the College. Among the men by Messrs Wright and Hardy of the College; Gadsden of Forest City and Robinson and Middleton of the Spartans.

W. Culp, on eugenics. Dr. Culp's address was one of the most interesting and helpful addresses given at the Y. M. C. A. for some time, and the large male audience which well high filled the church with fulsome with praises for the masterly way in which the subject was handled. A special platform meeting will be held on Sunday, May 14th, at St. Paul Church at 5:30 in the interest of the Y. M. C. A. home getting campaign. On tomorrow, the meeting will be a mixed one for both sexes. The special address will be delivered by Prof. Orr, principal of the Massle school. An interesting address is promised. Rev. W. O. P. Sherman, Jr., left on the 1st for Philadelphia, Pa., where he will assist in the management of The Daily Recorder during the General Conference of the A. M. E. church. Savannah, Ga.—I have been doing some moving since I wrote you last, and you will see that I am far from Georgia, but I got some few things in Georgian I shall never forget, and some that will remain with me as long as time and I don't mind telling you about them, because I am convinced that you are directly interested in me. You see I was there in Savannah and found that the Baptists are getting ready in great shape to entertain the National Baptist Convention when it comes to town, and it is going to be a great meeting. They are all united as one and all the committees are being formed and homes are being secured. I will be there myself. I met the Rev. Goodall, and the Rev. W. Bolivar Davis and found that they were hard at work, and each told me they were ready for the convention if it should come right on the next day, and I was delighted to hear that and to see how they were getting in shape for it. I had the pleasure of shaking hands with Editor Johnson of the Savannah Tribune. He was just one busy man. You see Mr. Johnson has been looking after his friends, and had been to a big convention seeing that their interests were protected. He has an office that is one of the best in the country, and that keeps him busy all the time. I was shown around the city by the artist John Henry Adams. He is a fine young man. I will not be able to tell you the many places he carried me. I did not get to see as much as I desired to see, because I was late getting in town and that cut me short. What I saw and saw I saw. From there I went to Jacksonville, Fla., and met some real live people there. I was delighted to look in the faces of so many people there. I had the pleasure of seeing Hon. G. E. Taylor, the man who at one time was on the national ticket for president of the United States. He was not elected as you know but he was voted for, and will have a place in history. I was delighted to see this wonderful leader of men. Charles H. Anderson, treasurer of the National Negro Business League, banker and business man, had called to meet at the Masonic temple men to hear a special lecture. Of course I went and had to stand up all the time during the lecture. Well I can say that I enjoyed it and had a very nice time. I was thrown in company with Mr. Anderson, secretary of the Y. M. C. A.; President N. W. Collier, of the Florida Baptist College; Dr. John E. Greggs, president of Edward Waters College and many others. I had been invited to Atlanta to see the commencement of Morris Brown University, and accepted the invitation, and I am glad that I went there, for I saw things which made me happy. It reminded me of the first day I got religion. I shall never forget all the good things I saw there. Reaching the main building of Morris Brown University. I had the pleasure of meeting President W. A. Fountain. He is educated but not away from his people. It matters not how green you are you can get to reach and talk to the president of this great school. I was delighted to be able to talk with him and shake his hands. He was as busy as could be, for that day was the day they were going to complete the work of merging the nurse training department of the school and the Fair Haven hospital. This was completed and in the future it will be the Fair Haven Infirmary of Morris Brown University. It will be the only hospital in the city where the colored physicians can have their practice. I was delighted to note this, and I want to congratulate the president upon his ability to do this. I have spoken of Dr. Fountain before but this is the first time I have had the pleasure of seeing his real worth to the race and to his church, and I am so glad, that they are going to make him a bishop, because he will be in a position to render so much more to us in the future. He is a man who loves to work and is not afraid of it. He is doing things for his people. I was through all the exercises at the school and attended the big meetings. It was to me a source of much pleasure to see all these things. I went around shook hands with Rev. Singleton who came in for the meeting of the trustees, and met Rev. P. J. Bryant, and his wife. Mrs. Bryant is doing some work in the city which I shall tell you about later. These things were all new to me. It is wonderful to note the progress being made. I am sorry indeed that I did not get to go to school just a little more and be able to entertain these big educated people. But I can do something to encourage them, to make them feel like that we older people are interested in them. I have met some smart men and women of the race since I have been in this world, and since I have been getting around. I think it is now necessary for me to bring this letter to a stop until next time. AMONG THE MASONS BEWARE OF INTRUDERS There is a man traveling with a lady in this jurisdiction, claiming to be Bro. A. R. Middleton of North Carolina jurisdiction. But he does not know his jurisdiction. He claims to belong to a lodge in Newbern, but his name was not on the roll. On comparison of his face with a picture of Bro. Middleton it was found that he was not Bro. Middleton. The grand master has taken up this case with Grand Master McCrary and asks that the Brethren of Georgia do not contribute to him until further notice from this office. H. R. BUTLER, Grand Master The Acacia Tree The Acacia is one of the most beautiful evergreens in Palestine. It is often found growing in the dry bed of some extinct brook where all other trees have died out. The wood is fine grained and hard, of a brown color. The leaves are small and pinnate, and its blossoms are little tufts of yellow, silver-like hair; the seeds are in pods. The largest acacias in Palestine are those growing near the fountain of Engent, on the west shore of the Dead Sea, several of which are from six to eight feet in diameter. They are found growing all along the coast of the Jordan, south of the Dead Sea, of Galilee. Its use by the Masonic fraternity is well known. It is an evergreen and therefore a very appropriate emblem of life beyond the grave. Fraternity's Mission In turning the pages of our memory tablet, passing events and future problems are reflected in our mirrored thoughts. We find no bounds for our love for one another, no doubt in truth, and we find friendship founded upon these principles and the bonds of fraternity welded by the golden links of friendship. In fraternity we find the strong hand in the dark hour of adversity, and a tower of strength in moments of weakness, giving while yet there is life, bringing joy and gladness to the sorrowing soul. Although the sun is setting back of the hills, the evening light is seen at the window of the home, and the door stands ajar to give entrance to the toiler when the night comes. Home Circle Leader. What Masonry does! The Masonic Chronical publishes the following interesting fact: Miss Rose Lensing, a little Chicago girl, 12 years of age, is touring the West alone and unprotected, except for a Masonic pin, which she wears instead of a breast pin. Rose was anxious to visit her relatives in Nebraska, and, having lost her mother, had no one to accompany her on the trip, so she announced to her father. August Lensing, that she was going to make the trip alone. "Iimpossible," cried the astonished man, "it would not be safe." The girl answered, "I can wear your Masonic pin and no harm can touch me." The father, much impressed, furnished her with funds and sent her on her journey. She has traveled extensively for six weeks, visiting relatives in Omaha, Lincoln, Crete, Wilbur, and other cities. How careful Masons should be to live true and upright lives, that children may not misplace confidence in them. Suppose the young girl in her travels meets some unworthy Mason, how disappointed her young heart would be! What a shock to her deep, strong trust in Masons! The dispatches tell us of a peculiar case in which a Mason's membership in his lodge, and his payment of dues, stood him in good stead. William Rumnel Wadr, of Greencastle, Pa., became a wonderer after his three children and wife had died in 1907. He finally located in Youngstown, Ohio, where he made a living doing odd jobs, no one in Greencastle knew where he had gone. Mrs. John Burke, of Greencastle, a paralytic, who had lived next door to Ward for years, and to whom he had devoted himself in order to make her lot more bearable, died last May 23rd. She left a fortune said to be valued at more than $1,000,000 to Ward in return for his kindness to her. Part of the fortune is in Detroit real estate. But all efforts to locate Ward were futile until he sent his Masonic dues to the secretary of the Greencastle Lodge. The probate judge then notified Ward. The moral of this story is, keep in communication with your lodge, and pay your dues.—Masonic Light. Masource is worthless unless you live up to your obligation and make every brother do the same or know the reason why. THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE BERT P B BERT GREENE SLASHING 15 ROUND BOXING CONTEST TUESDAY NIGHT Knockout Lou Williams to Meet Bert Green at Pekin Knockout Lou Williams, the local weltherweight who has made himself the idol of the local fans by his classy work here for the past year, will meet Bert Green, of Washington, D. C., in a fifteen round boxing contest at the Pekin theatre Tuesday night, May 9th. The fight between these two fast-corpers promises many a thrill and will, no doubt, be witnessed by a packed house. Williams has been having rather easy going in his last few fights, but against Green, a boy who is said to have every thing, the punch, the speed and the stamina and who has had much experience, the story to be told of the scrap will unquestionably have a different sound to soft and easy going victories Knockout Lou Williams has been meeting with. Both boys have been working faithfully for the fight and each is confident of a knockout.

Advertising Rates given on Application. Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Georgia, as Second class Mail Matter. Saturday May 6th, 1916 The Democrats held their state convention at Macon on Wednesday. The scenes were stormy and many of the delegates were turbalent. The daily papers had much to say about the Republican meeting recently held in the same place. It is reported that it was mild to that of the Democrats. In this county and city the colored citizens pay a large part of the required taxes. In proportion to what they pay they receive but slight returns or recognition. It is about time for action to be taken whereby more benefits may be received. During the recent Republican campaign in this state, The Tribune did not take kindly to Mr. Roscoe Pickett who was being groomed for the chairmanship of the State Central Committee. Our first objection was that, as a member of the legislature his record is not clear as to his attitude on the enacted disfranchisement act, or on the recent bill unanimously passed by the Senate of which he is a member. Mr. Pickett represents in the legislature a group of counties radically antagonistic to our people. These counties do not permit colored people to reside within their borders and one has gone so far as to even forbid them passing thru. A man with such an environment is not the proper leader for the Republicans of this state. For this reason we, along with the well-thinking men of the party, opposed him. Our stand in this matter has since been justified by his uncalled for and unnecessary utterances at the rump state convention of which he is chairman. A man with his convictions has no business in the Republican party, and should never receive the support of any colored man with a thimble full of principle or race pride. Be it understood that The Tribune is not a harbinger of social equality, but stands for the rights accorded us thru the principles of the grand old Republican party. It is pleasing to note that there are others among us who join in our attitude. Our esteemed contemporary, 'The Georgia Baptist' was among the ardent supporters of the faction led by Mr. Pickett. In a recent issue The Baptist repudiated the new factional leader, and paid the following tribute to him: "We did not go to the Republican State Convention, held in Atlanta, but we are informed from a reliable an authoritative source, that Mr. Roscoe Picket, in the course of an address to a convention, composed largely of Negroes, gratuitously lugged in the 'social equality' bugbear, and said: "If Negroes want to see me on business they may come into my backyard; if I want to see them I will go into their front yard." "No Negroes, certainly not in the south, give a rap for 'social equality'—whatever Mr. Picket may be by that; and we cannot for the life of us see why Mr. Pickett should bring that matter into a political address, neither can we see how any self-respecting Negro can further support Mr. Pickett when he tells them plainly that I cannot and will not talk with you except in my back yard." To be frank we have never liked Mr. Picket's looks, but we were assured by our friends that he was alright and that he believed in justice and fair play. "We find however that he simply means to use us a lever to pull himself up and we believe that with him as governor we would fare much worse than we would under a Hoke Smith, a Ben Tillman or a Vardeman. "Mr. Picket has been nominated for Governor of Georgia, on the Republican ticket, and while, of course, he stands no chance of being elected, our people should refuse to vote for him. "We should show manly resentment at the unnecessary and prejudiced thrust which he made at us. "We believe the time has come when the Negro should be manly and when he should resent injustice and oppression. "We do not want 'social equality', but we do want and we are entitled to the same consideration as the white man. We want the same rights before the law and should have them. "Others may do us as they will or may, so far as Mr. Pickett is concerned but as for ourselves, we will have no more of him. "We shall never be willing to support a man who adopts an attitude toward us such as has been done by Mr. Picket. And we are proud to state that had we been at the convention when Mr. Pickett made his vicious thrust at us, we should have appealed to the delegates to have repudiated him then and there even though we had stood single and alone in the effort." The A. M. E. General conference is in session at Philadelphia, and making history for the race. The M. E. conference, North, is being held at Saratoga Springs, N. Y. This conference is considering the uniting of the Northern, Southern and other bodies of that denomination. The slavery question caused the severance of the relationship between the two bodies, and its amagamation will mean much for the religious welfare of this country. The successful merging of these bodies would be an incentive for all of the colored church organizations of that denomination to do likewise. Under the head of "Where is Georgia?" The Baltimore Commonwealth, unmercifully rebuke Georgia for its indulgence in lawless acts. The Tribune is not in the attitude of defending Georgia, if it could, and for that reason simply hangs its head in shame. Despite its faulty we love our Georgia, and its hundreds of good citizens whom we hope will rise in their might and in their own way, put down every form of lawlessness. We are proud to note that our friends throut the state are outspoken against lynching and in this the leading papers are joining. Georgia will yet show to the world that it is the Empire state of the South in all good deeds. The Commonwealth said: "Where is Georgia? Is Georgia in the United States of America? And is America a Christian country? Nobody would believe that Georgia is in the United States and that the United States is a Christian country after beholding the photograph in the Crisis for the month of April of the lynching of five Negroes. Five human beings strung up to the limb of a tree and shot to death, while a white man who seems to be the leader stands complacently by, as if he is at a prayer service. This scene took place in Lee county, Ga., January 20, 1916. In Georgia, where the boast is made that there are more educational institutions run in the interest of the Negro than any other state. No wonder skeptics smoothes ask the question: Why send missionaries to foreign lands to convert heathens? If it is the heathen we are after we have them in Georgia. Send missionaries, for God's sake, to Georgia. Quick." It is about time for the well-thinking and conservative members of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in this state to get together and act to preserve the principles and assets of the order. The several cases in the courts have already amounted to thousands of dollars and there is no telling where it will end. The lawyers knowing that the order has assets amounting to about $600,000, may not be amiss to a continuance of the litigation. The rule or ruin method is runnable; conservatism and common sense should rule. Let the best thinking linkmen in the state take some action toward a settlement. OVER HOME NEWS Beaufort, S. C.—Mr. Henry Skipper, Jr., of Savannah, spent the week end in our beautiful city last week. Mr. Skipper is very popular in Beaufort. Mrs. Steverson of Columbia, S.

Miss Riley presided at the organ for the occasion and they all reported having enjoyed a pleasant trip.

Odd Fellows of Georgia are ready for their thanksgiving exercise. There is no split in the affairs and the man that splits better run for while we are preparing the sepulcher for the great bosses the graves of the smaller ones are already dug and while burying one we can bury all at the same time. Rev. J. H. F. Martin on his last pastorial day baptized four who put on the newness of life. With the blind tigers closed by the probibitionists our churches ought to be better attended by their inmates. Christians ought to start a crusade. We are supposed to have the big end of th rope. --- The Odd Fellows of Brunswick are satisfied with the decision of the court in reference to the Odd Fellows' situation. Things are just working right and where ever the "Nine Black Crowes" of Atlanta, as called by the Independent of Atlanta.

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. P." and tell your friends of its good results. It only costs you fifty cents at the Savannah Pharmacy. Mrs. Ophelia Davis Lindsay, sister of Mrs. Manne L.

Begin each day anew; To teach the kingdom of our God Where our dear brother is gone; You must tread the path where he has trod. And he will welcome you home.

Miss Dodson Studies Washington Life At Close Ran Miss Lillian O. Dodson, daughter of Mr. N. B. Dodson, known throughout the nation by reason of his long and successful management of the colored department of the plate service furnished by the American Press Association, visited the capital last week as a member of the class of 1916, of the Brooklyn Girls' High school, were on the annual educational tour of the school, and were chaperoned by Dr. William L. Felter, principal of the Girls' High School, and a group of the teachers. The party left Brooklyn on Monday morning and reached this city in the afternoon, and 'put in about three days study at close range the points of historical interest and beauty spots with which the capitol of the nation so plenteously abounds. Miss Dodson is the only girl of our race who has ever enjoyed the distinction or participating in one of these annual educational jaunts, and it is worthy of note that at no time during the tour was there a semblance of the "color line apparent. Miss Dodson, who is excasionally talented and intellectual, is a member of the "Poets' Corner" in the Girls' high school in her home city, and is a valuable contributor to the "Blue and Gold," the journal of the school. She is a candidate for Wellesley College. While here she was the guest of her cousins, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Lucas, of Howard University. On Wednesday the party was received by President Wilson at the White House and all were greeted by a hearty handshake. Miss Dodson expressed herself as delighted with Washington and its cultured people. --- Manager Henry Given "Grand Send-off" Mr. Lew W. Henry, for several years the resident manager of the S. H. Dudley Theatrical Enterprises, left Washington last week in a blaze, of glory. Altho surrounded day by day with our citizens of every type and enjoying their comradeship and cordial business support he did not realize until the parting hour that he had so many warm friends and admirers, who regarded him with genuine affection as well as appreciating him for his splendid abilities as a master of the theatrical technique and progressive man of affairs. Through the generosity of his former business associates, Manager A. J. Thomas, of the Howard theatre, and Manager S. H. Dudley, of the Dudley theatre and Dudley Enterprises, a party of fifty or more assembled on the stage of the Howard last Saturday night and tendered him a magnificent banquet, the like of which has seldom, if ever, been pulled off in this seemingly prosaic burg. The spread was a fine one, and the long table literally covered with the choicest delicacies of the season. Those who know the player-folks need not be told that all did ample justice to what was set before them. . Owing to the continued disorder Sunday night at the Howard Theatre, caused by a set of half-grown "smart-Elacks" in the gallery, Manager Thomas has decided to cut-out vaudeville and music on Sunday nights hereafter. Companies and performers will work six nights and the Sunday evening show will consist only of photo-plays, with the orchestra. It seems strange but it is a disagreeable fact, that on the week-day evenings the patrons of the Howard are high-class people and are as orderly as any one could wish; but on Sunday the bad folks turn out and raise bedlam, to such an extent that performers are frequently unheard and in not a few cases are compelled to leave the stage with their act unfinished. I am taking this step in the interest of peace, Manager Thomas expresses his regret that the self-respecting people must be made to suffer for the sins of the thoughtless and temperant rabble. Segregation to be Reargued in Supreme Court Chief Justice White, of the United States Supreme Court, has ordered that the Segregation case, testing the segregation law passed by the city of Louisville, Ky., be re-argued. The case was heard a few days ago with only seven justices sitting. It is believed that the chief justice holds to the idea that a case of such vital importance to the nation should be considered by a full bench. If this is a fact, there is likely to be considerable delay in settling the matter, as the holding up of the Brandeis appointment will make the bench short for some time to come unless the unexpected happens and Mr. Brandeis is speedily confirmed by the Senate. The general opinion is that the segregation statues of the several cities are in direct conflict with the federal constitution, and if the Louisville case is correctly handled before the court, the whole iniquitous system will be overthrown. Push the Dyer Anti-Race Prejudice Bill Representative L. C. Dyer, of St. Louis, who pulled of his coat and spent a fortnight in vigorously campaigning against the ordinance adopted recently by the electors of that city, has introduced in the house a bill designed to prevent the production of any picture-play reflecting upon any particular class of American citizens. While the measure grows out of the fight that has been made here and elsewhere against "The Birth of a Nation," the scope of the bill is universal and applies with equal force to any film depicting the shortcomings of the Negro, the Irish, Germans and Italians, all of whom have suffered from caricature of their peculiarities that have tended to accentuate race prejudice and humiliate them in the eyes of their fellow-men. It is hoped that the Dyer bill will pass. It is up to the races interested to put steam behind the matter and see to it that the vote of every Congressman they can reach is recorded in favor of it. With the Player-Folks "The Birth of a Nation" is dragging along its silmy length at one of the local theaters. The film contrary to expectations, is not setting any rivers on fires and no one is paying any great amount of attention to it. The colored people made a dignified protest to the district commissioners and chief of police, but could get no satisfaction. The Billy King Players, after six weeks here, left Tuesday for Chicago, where they will put in fifteen solid weeks at the Grand theatre. The King aggregation, besides Mr. King and Mrs. Hattie McIntosh King, has such acknowledged stars as Misses Theresa Burroughs Brooks, Gertrude Saunders, "Babe" Brown, Stella Harris and Mrs. Georgia Kelly, and Messrs Howard Kelly, T. Spencer Finley, Edward Tolliver, Greenbury Holmes, William Walker and Benton Overstreet, latter being musical director. . . . The Broadway Players, fresh from triumphal season at the Lafayette theatre, New York City, are presenting at the Howard this week "Under Cover." In the cast are Misses Abbie Mitchell, Hilda Offley, Cleo Desmond, and Demy George and Mrs. Charles H. Anderson, and Messrs Creighton Thompson, J. Francis Mores, Will A. Cooke, Andrew Bishop and Lawrence Chenault. Lew W. Henry, formerly general manager of the S. H. Dudley theatrical Enterprises, is in New York City and can be reached at 136 West 49th street. There is a rumor affloat that Mr. Henry may return to this city to undertake a special work along theatrical lines. * * * Miss Susle Sutton in her famous "old maid" and Italian specialties, has been putting in some good work at the Lincoln theatre, New York City. In order to perfect plans which she has long had in mind, Miss Sutton may soon give up her "Actor's House" in this city, regarded by the profession as one of the very best in the country. The Town in Review Mr. Romeo L. Doughtry, the brilliant and crudite dramatic and sporting editor of the New York News, is expected in the city shortly. "There's a reason"—but that's none of our business. The Chamberlain bill, calling for a constitutional amendment giving suffrage to the District, is being strongly supported by the Chamber of Commerce and other leading civic organizations. Should the measure be enacted into a law and the amendment finally secured, the District of Columbia will have the status of a state, with the ballot to bona fide citizens, and representation in the United States Senate, the House and in the electoral college. It is advised by the thoughtful element that the colored citizens organize associations in every legislative district, and give to the movement a constant, persistent and effective agitation. The New York Age is casting about for the "right man" to serve as its Washington correspondent. Many of the out of town journals experience difficulty, they say, in rounding up a correspondent who has the requisite literary and newspaper ability, and who is at the same time in a position to handle in the desired way the vital topics that concern the political, business, social and educational life of this cosmopolitan community. Attorney William L. Hawkins, formerly of Milwaukee, Wis., has been elected the general counsel for the International Hod-Carriers' Association, local No. 46. This association has a large membership and is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. --- Mr. Charles Bundy, of Ohio, secretary to the American Legation at Monrovia, Liberla, has been visiting the THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE public schools and Howard University, describing the interesting fashion; the resources and possibilities of the little "Black Republic" across the seas. Mr. Bundy is in this country on leave of absence, the first he has been able to enjoy for more than three years. --- In keeping with the broad-gauged policy which has characterized him throughout his long and helpful administration, Director J. E. Ralph has named another batch of appointments of colored young ladies at the bureau of engraving and printing. Outside of the public schools, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing offers the broadest outlet for the talents of our educated and refined young women, the majority of them being graduates from our high and normal schools. The latest list of appointments made at the Bureau embraces Mrs. Mayme Perry Holmes, Miss Gertrude Walker, Miss Griffie Hill and Miss Madelaine Hawkins, the last named from New York City. HOWARD DEFEATS HAMPTON By Charles II. Williams Victory came as sweet revenge Saturday, April 24th, when the fast baseball team of Howard defeated Hampton 4 to 2. Joy reigns supreme in the Howard camp as that was the first time this season that a Howard team has won from Hampton. Living up to tradition the game was the best seen here in years. The capital city boys had a more seasoned team and excellent in batting and base running. Both teams did superb fielding. The pitching of both Hill for Howard and Wright for Hampton was good, each being equal to the occasion in critical moments. Summary: One base hit, Owl, Wright Coleman, Stone, and Green: two base hits, Avery, Brice, and Teabear. Struck out by Wright 5, by Hill 7. Hit by pitcher, Wright 1, Hill 3. Left on bases, Hampton 6.

Are the laws of the Grand United Order of Old Fellows made for the observance of all? Is Boss Ben exempted from the mandates of the Sub-Committee of Management? The righteous decisions of the Sub-Committee of Management are final and all good Old Fellows will obey. Then, was the was the Georgia Emperor (Boss Ben.) immune from this unquestioned decision? Yes, Boss Ben is amenable to law regardless as to his thoughts. His selfishness and perfect disregard for the many who once delighted to honor him, and who supplied him raiment and food, made him show his serpent nature by taking his Coo-Coo, Adfred D. Jones, and bring the people who were once his friends into the courts of Fulton County Georgia, where the funds of the hard working men and women will be eaten up in court cost and lawyers' fees to satisfy his unreasonable selfish vanity. This modern Nero, fiddles while the money that ought to be paid to the wildows and orphans is being consumed; Ben Boss is crystallized selfishness; he knows full well the effect of carrying us into court would have, on the brotherhood. He had, no doubt, a scheme in his mind of eliminating the member-bip in the Endowment Bureau thereby limiting the liabilities. I have heard him say more than once "the fewer we have financial, the better off would be those who are left, and you who did not want to stay could quit, we have your, money and you can go." This fraternal orphan and Odd Fellow out-cast. Like Sampson of old, would pull down the pillows of our fraternal temple rather than come out of the stall which we have built and paid for, but be assured that he shall destroy him-self and a few of his weak minded henchmen only, and the loyal Odd Fellows will march on, on and upward to greater heights than ever before dreamed of. In various articles written in the local sheet which once claimed to be the official organ of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in Geiogia this Odd Fellow out-cast and fraternal orphan attempts to set up a claim that the brothers who are superior to him in every respect and in everything, are Vampires because through their wise council they supported the attorney general of Georgia in his motion the object of which was and is now to dismiss him as a court receiver of our property. It is to be kept in mind that no one but Boss.Ben. Davis carried us into court. We were called Vampires for using the advice of our attorneys whom he forced us to employ for our protection and against his perversion of the authority delegated to him by the Sub-Committee of Management. Had there been no perversion of the authority thus delegated, this poor orphan would possibly have been a member of the order to day. In the article mentioned he attempted to berate us for seeking to put our Bureau of Endowment under control of the state insurance department. Now let us review the facts. The responsibility must be placed as to who carried us into court. If he had heeded the decision rendered by the Sub-Committee of Management at the July session, 1915, when their decree cited the fact that a D. G. L. had no inherent sovereign powers or authority other than those granted by the parent body; and had he been guided by our general law, then there would have been no law suit. In his belabored article, he sought to falsely create the impression that the trustees elected by the lodges after due notice had been sent to each and every one in the state, were self-appointed; that these representative men were striving to do an injury to the Order by having it supervised by the sworn officers of the state. The defensive measure taken by us in safeguarding the members of the Bureau of Endowment needs no apology. Why should not there be some supervision? Who will it hurt except Ross Ben? Surely it could never hurt the policy holders. While dealing with this subject, what does the state exact? First, how many death claims have you due and unpaid? What is the reason why you didn't pay them? How many stocks and bonds do you own? What did you pay for them? How much money have you got? Where is it deposited, and how much interest do you get? Under state supervision, the answers to the above questions must be sworn to and filed with the insurance commissioner, and no officer would be allowed to violate any of the rules, laws, and regulations of the Insurance Department without instant dismissal together with prosecution, nor would they be allowed to raise their salaries in star chamber meetings and behind closed doors. Ben. Davis was one of the first advocates of state supervision and only changed his mind since he has had the audacity to venture in the wild cat realms of investments which have cost the order thousands of dollars, and the state supervision will put a halter upon his authority. I agree with him and know him to be right when he stated over his own signature in his biennial report rendered to the 27th session of D. G. L. held at Augusta, Ga., August S-11, 1911, that state supervision would be our only slyation. On page 68 of the minutes mentioned, Ben Davis convicted out of his own mouth of being pioneer, the path-finder of invoking the authority of the Insurance Department to take over the fraternal benevolent insurance, and his perversion of the powers and authority vested in him makes it imperative that this should be done and I reluctantly agree with him that this is the only wise step to be taken. The necessity for such step is greater now than then, and the attention of the Old Fellows of Georgia is called to the report which Ben made when he was running hot and here is an extract of that signed report and I invite you to read it for yourself and draw your own conclusion: "There are several bills pending before the Georgia Legislature looking to the supervi-sion and regulation of fraternal insurance in our state. There is no need of taking the position that the white folks are opposed to Negro institutions because they want to regulate them. This is not the case. Regulation and supervision by the state authorities will only furnish the policy holders an additional guarantee that their policies will be paid to their lawful beneficiaries when they die. "The time is our long, when the state of Georgia, like Alabama Louisiana, Missouri and other states, will supervise and regulate our bureau of Endowment. When this is done, the Grand Lodge will have to take out license, and put up with the treasurer five or ten thousand dollars in bonds. Their officers will come to your office and inspect your books, the state will require you to have a certain amount of admitted assets for every hundred dollars of insurance in force, and unless you make a creditable showing under the law, our license will be revoked and you will not be permitted to do business in Georgia. I shall welcome the day when it comes." When Ben, was suspended instead of being expelled, he ran from Philadelphia and came back to Atlanta, put the order in court and named your business the "Georgia Corporation," but as soon as he found he had bottled himself up, he began to call it the policy holders convention or any other thing he could think of to evade the state Insurance Department from taking it over. If it was good enough to let the state take it over then, why is it not good enough now since Ben, has been put out? Or is it in such a bad shape that he feats its somniness? In his report at Augusta, Ben recommended that $250,000 be raised and set aside as a sinking fund, which was then a dream and which has now become a reality, but if we had been taken under the sheltering arm of the Insurance Department, some of the Odd Fellows' money loaned to his henchmen would now be in the treasury where it could be easily had to pay the claims of the widows and orphans which have been outstanding for nearly twelve months. At least one less automobile would have been sold, and the surplus office force could have walked and taken the convenient street cars to reach the office as they had done before. The pompous effect of his clerical force riding or walking to the tennis court in his vicinity might have been marred without this automobile, but the brotherhood would have been far better off without it. The theory of the government is the greatest good to the greatest number and if Boss Ben is not more than all the brothers combined, then the state supervision would be a blessing and a benefaction. On the other hand stands the entire brotherhood ignorant as to the true conditions, subjected to one-man rule, and one-man power. Laws of his own creation named by him, construed by him, and enforced by him, must be obeyed by the brotherhood under pain of being kicked out of the order at his will, while the same law which should govern all alike, is flagrantly ignored by him. But I have a happy consolation and the absolute assurance that the conditions brought about by this Odd Fellow out-cast and fraternal orphan, will not last long, and I welcome the day, when every true Odd Fellow will rise to his might and give this despoiler to understand that his place is no more with them and that he should never again apply for admission in our ancient and honorable institution.

NEGRO PRESS. 1150 Darwin St. Jacksunville Fla. AMONG THE CHURCHES BUTLER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH On Sunday last our pastor preached two soul stirring sermons. At the morning hour the text was "Thy right hand is full of thy righteousness." The sabbath school is growing numerically. The topic at the Y. P. S. C. B. was "Using Sunday for this world and and the next." The discussion was led by Dr. H. M. Collier, Rev. Redd and Sister C. M. Young. You are invited to join us. At the evening hour the text was "Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have give I thee." Prayer meeting every Wednesday evening. Order of services:Preaching Sunday morning 11:30 a. m.; sabbath school 4 p. m.; Y. P. C. F. 7:30 p. m.; evening worship 8:30 p. m. To all of these services you are welcome. EVANGELICAL MINISTERS' UNION The Evangelical Ministers' Union was called on in due form but as so many of the ministers are out of town attending the A. M. E. general conference at Philadelphia, Pa., and the president, Rev. J. A. Martin is a fraternal delegate from the C. M. E. church to that conference, the Union took a recess until Tuesday, June 6th. At that time all of the members and visitors are requested to be out. JERUSALEM CHURCH Jerusalem A. M. E. Church, West Boundary and Bay streets. The rally was continued last Sunday and bits fair to be very successful. The Sunday school was well attended. Rev. Gibbs, from the A. M. E. Church at Barnwell county, S. C., preached at 11 a. m. and at 8:30 p. m. the pastor Rev. J. S. Jenkins, filled the pulpit, preaching a soul stirring sermon. Last night was love feast. Tomorrow at 11:30 a. m. the Rev. J. A. Ellison, bishop of the A. M. E. church Charleston, will preach. The bishop will speak again at night at 8:30. Friends and visitors are invited to take part with us in these services. ST. BENEDICTS CHURCH Our May devotions are held on week days at 5 p.m. A special feature of our service tomorrow will be the May procession in which the school and orphan children will take a prominent part. The sermon will be preached in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of May. Our principal feasts during the coming week are Monday, apparation of St. Michael, the Archangel; Wednesday, Solmenity of St. Joseph, son of the Blessed Virgin Mary and patron of the universal church. Last Wednesday, May 3, we celebrated the feast of the finding of the Holy Cross by St. Helena, mother of the emperor Constantine after it had been for a long time lost. The first Sunday in May is the first communion day. More than twenty children and adults will receive our Blessed Lord for the first time, tomorrow. The great emperor Napoleon I talked with enthusiasm of his first holy communion day. It is a turning point in the life of every good and noble christian and should be remembered always with delight and reverence. Very Rev. I. Lissner, provincial of the African missions in Georgia, has given out the bids for the new buildings on Gordon and Taylor streets east. Father Lissner is no more a novice in such undertakings but has become a great expert. In the last four years he has built St. Mary's school on 36th and Harden streets. He has erected also the Atlanta, Augusta and Macon missions, supplying them with substantial brick buildings for school, church and priest's residence. Savannah is the last but not the least to be fitted up with very comfortable and long-lasting structures for our work among the colored race in Georgia. The new school will be a three story building all in brick and roofed with slate. The best materials will be employed to make it one of the best school structures in the south. Last Sunday, after high mass, eight adults were baptized with solemn ceremonies. Father Obrecht, pastor, officiated. The ceremony of confirmation was very largely attended at St. Anthony's mission, West End, Ga., by a number of members and friends. F. A. B., FRANKLIN SQUARE Last Sunday was indeed a glorious day at this church. The attendance was large and many visitors were present. The prayer meeting was a splendid one and was led by Dea. Sanders and Dea. Marks. Members are needed to attend the meeting. Morning worship began at 11:30. Devotional exercise was led by Lie Robinson. Pastor Goodall preached an able sermon, subject "Sampon's weakness and strength." The sermon was an instructive one and great lessons were taught. Two excellent solos were ren- dered by Miss Mae Stewart and Mrs. T. J. Goodall. At 8 p. m. Pastor Goodall preached from the subject "Envy." The sermon was full of food for thought. The Sunday school met at the usual hour the subject of the lesson was "Peter delivered from prison." This was an interesting lesson and was beautifully outlined by the superintendent. Our Sunday school is making progress along all lines. We wish to extend an invitation to the public to attend our Sunday school. The B. Y. P. U. met in session at 6:30 p. m. The subject of the discussion was "The Lord's supper." The discussion was very interesting. Sunday being communion members are asked to be out on time. Prayer meeting at 5 a.m.; baptist at the close of the meeting. Preaching 11:30 a.m. communion 3:30 p. m.; preaching 8 p. m.; B. Y. P. U. 6:30 p. m. There will be a five night fair given at the F. A.

GOOD WILL BAPTIST CHURCH Good Will Baptist Church, located on Gwinnett street one block west of water works, Rev. W. H. Prince, pastor. On last Sunday the Sunday schoolmet at the usual hour. The lesson was beautifully taught. The entire morning was spent in Sunday school service. At 3:30 the R. Y. P; U. met. The topic was quite an interesting one and was ably discussed. At 5 o'clock p. m. the Sunday school exercises took place. This proved to be the most interesting part of the day's services. The church could hardly accommodate the large crowd which turnout to hear the children. Superintendent R. L. Lockley and Mrs. W. H. Prince have been highly praised for the excellent program which they arranged for the children. On Sunday night the pastor preached a very excellent and practical sermon. He preached on the subject "Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace." The services were well attended and filled with inspiration many manifested their interest by coming to the mercy seat. The revival is still on and we ask the public to help us. F. B. B. CHURCH Sunday being the fifth Sunday was Children's day. The children hall with delight this day as the entire morning service is given to them. The sermon was taken from the Sunday school lesson for the day. Many striking lessons were given the children and parents. At night Rev. Wright read the lesson. In his sermon he used the very notable characters Peter and Herod. The revival has been very successful and has drawn quite a large number. MT. ZION SUNDAY SCHOOL Last Sunday was Children's day at Mt. Zion Baptist Church and the entire day was turned over to the Sunday school. The services were very interestingly carried out, the marked features being a rally contest which took place at 8:30 p. m. The result of the contest was $21, and the prize was won by Mesdames Hattie Sims and M. L. G. Baker. All visitors are welcome. BETH EDEN BAPTIST CHURCH Beth Eden Baptist Church. Rev. N. M.

EXCURSION RATES TO THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS Nashville, Teen.—All railroads operating lines west of the Mississippi river in the territory known as the Southwestern Passanger Association, have announced an excursion rate from points on their line to points through to Vicksburg, Miss., and a letter from Mr. Hamnegan addressed to Henry A. Boyd, secretary of the Sunday School Congress, says: "An open rate of two cents per mile has been authorized in each direction for the round trip from all points in Louisiana and Texas, (under the jurisdiction of this association) up to the gateways, added to the fares tendered therefrom, to Vicksburg, Miss, and return tickets to be sold June 11, 12, and 13, 1916, except that from points in Texas on and west of a line drawn through Amarillo, Big Springs, De Rio and Eagle Pass, tickets will be on sale June 10, 11, and 12, 1916; limited for return to reach original starting point prior to midnight of June 22, 1916." The secretary of the congress advises that this announcement completes the excursion rates east and west of the Mississippi, and because of these rates the attendance at Vicksburg, Miss., will be the largest in the history of the Congress movement. SAVINGS OF AGED COLORED WOMAN AIDS MEMORIAL FUND. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., April 29.—One of the most unexpected contributions to the Booker T. Washington Memorial fund was received here a few days ago when the sum of $500 was contributed under rather unusual circumstances. The contribution represented a part of the savings of the late Mary Strater who died last. January in her 89 year. Miss Strater was born in Newark, N. J., when New Jersey was a slave state. At the age of 12 years, she became the property of a prominent family of that city. Later, this family moved to Massachusetts and Miss Strater, then a young woman, went with the family as a servant and remained with them as servant and inmate until her death, a term of seventy-seven years. At the time of her death her savings had accumulated into quite a tidy sum and it was her wish that part of this money should be appropriated to aid in improving the condition of her race in the south. A member of this family, whom Miss Strater had nursed when a child, basked for the Bocker T. Washington Memorial Fund the sum of $500 toward the cause. Commenting upon this gift, Hon. Seth Low, chairman, in writing on behalf of the Board of Trustees in special acknowledgement thereof said: "I observe that she (Miss Strater) wished her savings to be given to aid improving the condition of her race in the south, and I write to express, on behalf of the board of trustees, our appreciation of the fact that you have dedicated her savings to the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund. This association of the names of Mary Strater and Booker T. Washington, in view of the respective histories, seems to me peculiarly interesting." The returns from the campaign for the memorial fund have been greatly encouraged during the week by the contributions from school children following the special collection taken in schoolhouses of the city and rural districts on April 5th. Accompanying these contributions, there have come also the most interesting letters telling of the great love for our late Principal Washington on the part of the children, of their great desire to give something, no matter how modest, to the perpetuation of the work which he founded. "Our children have given meagerly but eagerly and out of the fullness of their hearts," writes one teacher. These children have set an example for the men and women of the race and it is hoped and urged that the local memorial committees which are being organized in all parts of the country, together with the members of the National Negro Business League may not overlook an opportunity to bring the importance of this campaign before the members of the race in their cities. It is and should be so regarded a privilege and an opportunity for the colored people to contribute to this fund as a mark of respect for the service and sacrifice of Dr. Washington's life. SUNDAY SCHOOL. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson VII. - Second Quarter, May 14, 1916. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Acts xiii, 13-52 Memory Verses, 45, 46—Golden Text, Acts xiii, 47—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. When they crossed over to the mainland from Cyprus John left them and returned to Jerusalem (verse 13). We are not told why, but it made trouble later even between such friends as Barnabas and Paul (chapter xv, 36-40) It is a relief to read in what was probably Paul's last letter. "Take Mark and bring him with them, for he is profitable to me for the ministry" (II Tim. iv, 11). John Mark, having left them, Paul and Barnabas kept on their way to Antioch, in Pisidia, and our lesson today is Paul's Sabbath day talk in the synagogue there, which was followed the next Sabbath by a talk to a very large company of gentiles. It is said that almost the whole city came together to hear the word of God (verse 44). The Jews, seeing Paul get the crowd that next Sunday, were filled with envy and contradicted Paul's teaching and blasphemed. Then the apostle said boldly, "Seeing you put it from you, we turn to the gentiles." And he quoted a prophecy concerning the final gathering of the gentiles to the Lord at His coming and kingdom (Isa. xxl, 6; xlix, 6), for, as one has said, prophecy has many a germinant accomplishment throughout the ages, while the complete fulfillment is yet in the future. As the gentiles heard the glad tidings many believed, and the word of the Lord was published throughout all that region (verses 45-49). The expression, "as many as were ordained to eternal life believed" (verse 48), is another way of saying, "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me" (John vi, 37). This is not the age of winning the world to Christ, but of gathering out from the world those whom the Father has given to the Son to be His bride. All should bear the offer of salvation, and whosoever will may receive Him, but He knows who will come. The adversary became so stirred by Christ being thus exalted that the Jews and chief men and devout and honorable women persecuted Paul and Barnabas and expelled them out of their coasts. Therefore they departed and came into iconum, but the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Ghost. The word of the Lord will always accomplish His pleasure and never return to Him void, but to some it will bring life and to others death (Isa. iv, 11; II Cor. iv, 15, 16). We will give the rest of our time to a consideration of some things in this great sermon of Paul's at Antioch, and we notice first that four times he speaks of the resurrection of Christ (verses 22, 30, 33, 37), the all important truth of the gospel, quoting from Ps. ii and xvl and Isa. iv concerning it and referring to the sure mercies of David, which David himself called an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things and sure (II Sam. xxill, 5). All failure is ones, but God is faithful, and His purposes cannot fail. David in his last hours felt that he had come far short, but he rested all on the faithfulness of God and His sure, everlasting covenant. We saw in our recent study in I Cor. xv the importance of the resurrection of Christ, and in Him, the risen, living one, shall every promise to Abraham and David be fulfilled (Matt. 1, 1; Rev. xxll, 16). Speaking to Jews Paul always called their attention to God's purpose concerning Israel, and on this occasion he began with their deliverance from Egypt and followed on through the wilderness, the times of the judges and the reign of the first two kings, Saul and David. And that brought him to the promise to David concerning the Messiah and His kingdom and to the assertion that this Jesus who had been crucified by the Jews, but raised from the dead by God the Father, was indeed the Messiah of Israel. He referred to John the Baptist's testimony concerning Him as the Messiah who had fulfilled all that the prophets had said concerning His sufferings and that He would as truly fulfil in due time all that had been predicted concerning His kingdom and glory (verses 16-37). Since their Messiah had actually come and been rejected what could now be done? Was there any hope for any one? Then he proclaimed through Jesus Christ the forgiveness of sins for all who would receive Him as the crucified and risen one, assuring them that He would come again to restore all things of which the prophets had spoken, be a light to all nations through Israel and bring salvation to the ends of the earth (verses 28, 39, 47). The Jews would naturally be stirred to enmity and wrath by the accusation that they were guilty of the rejection of their Messiah, and, the gentiles would be glad to hear that there was salvation even for them and a part in His kingdom and glory. Compare chapters ill. 19:21; iv. 12; Isa. lx. 1-3; lxil. 1. 2. And he sure for yourself. O reader of these lines, that you have in Him, by His precious blood, the eternal redemption, the forgiveness of sins, which He has purchased of such infinite cost for all who will receive Him. Then when He shall come in His glory to set up His kingdom of peace on earth you shall be with Him and share His kingdom and glory (Col. ill. 4; Rev. v. 9, 10). W. L.
