There was one teacher brought into the city from the county, Miss Dorothy Williams who has been assigned third grade in the Cuyler street school. There were three other minor changes, the teachers simply being transferred from one school to another.

CURTIS PERFORMS NOTE- WORTHY CLINICS It is Rumored that Roscoe Bruce is to Head M Street High School Washington, D. C., July 13th Dr. A. M. Curtis made a fine impression by his informing and illuminating surgical clinics at the recent session of the North Carolina State Medical Association at Wilson, N. C. The white dalles spoke in terms of the highest praise of Dr. Curtis's skill and thorough command of the scientific principles involved in the clinical demonstrations. Dr. Curtis has now gone to Durham to conduct a surgical clinic at the Lincoln hospital at that place. This gifted humanitarian stands at the head of his chosen profession and is in constant demand for clinics in various parts of the country. Mr. George C. Smith, of the Treasury Department, for many years private secretary to the late Senator B. K. Bruce, was one of the local leaders primarily responsible for the "shake-up" in the board of education which is designed to pave the way toward reform of the existing evils in our public school system. The Howard Theatre management, backed by the Washington Eagle, is to foster a district-wide benefit for the relief of the families of the colored men who have gone to the front as members of the District National guard. A mid-night show will be given at the Howard at an early date and a program embracing the best talent of the community will be offered. Manager A. J. T. Thomas donates his "playhouse beautiful," and the entire proceeds of the entertainment will go directly to the dependents of the boys on the border. Lawyer James A. Cobb has returned from New York City, where he went on political business. Rev. Lewis C. Scheafe, a leading divine of the Seventh Day Adventist faith, was in the city last week on business. He was greeted by a large audience at Walker Memorial Baptist Church Sunday, preaching a powerful sermon at the morning service. Dr. Sheafe is now permanently located at Los Angeles, Cal., and has established several churches of his faith there and in the vicinity. He says California is an El Dorado for the enterprising Negro and urges the migration of goodly members of our progressive element to that section of the country. Aomng the "school men" who have gone to the front with the First Separate Battalion are Major J. E. Walker, supervising principal, 13th district; Lleut. A. C. Newman, principal Cardozo Vocational school; Drs. H. W. Freeman and Albert S. Ridgeley, medical inspectors; and Ell Brown and Howard Colbert, laborers at Birney and Garnet-Patterson schools respectively. The Royal Knights of King David, of which fraternal order Prof. W. G. Pearson, of Durham, N. C., is grand scribe and patron saint, has sent here Messrs. H. E. Hagans and J. E. Owens to establish headquarters and inaugurate a lively campaign for membership. Mrs. Gussie Henderson Tignor, of the office of the recorder of deeds, is at her home sick, after successfully undergoing an operation for appendicitis at Freedmen's hospital. Rev. John W. Pope is acting as pastor of the Second Baptist Church and is being so well received that he is likely to be called as the permanent successor to Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, who resigned a short time ago, after over thirty years of service. Rev. Alexander Williams, known far and wide as the "Black Billy Sunday," has been formerly installed as pastor of the 10th Street Baptist Church. He will cancel all engagements for evangelical work for the present. There is a hint going round that Roscoe Conkling Bruce may be demoted from the post of assistant superintendent in charge of colored schools and made principal of the M Street High school, vice E. C. Williams, resigned. The demand of the people for a school Baptist Young People To Unite WILL MEET IN THIS CITY NEXT WEEK The two wings of the Baptist Young People's Convention of Georgia, will consolidate in Savannah next week, the parent bodies having consolidated last year. The conventions will bring many prominent Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. workers to our city together with most of the leading pastors.

BAPTIST ASSOCIATION MEETING AT ALLENHURST, GA. The Baptist Church at Allenhurst, Liberty county, is entertaining the annual-session of the Zion Baptist Association which began on Thursday and will close Sunday night. Zion Association is one of the oldest in the south. NEWS FOR BLACKSHEAR, GA. Mrs. Susie White is out of the city for a while.

Every Sunday school in the district is to write on the subject of racial progress and three prizes will be given. For the best paper a prize of $1.00 will be given, for the next best 75 cents and third best 50 cents.

There will be a state convention held at Savannah, Ga., to which Mr. Henry Tatum, the district president of the B. Y. P. U. is planning to go. He has been president for a year and is going forward for another year's work. We all hope him much success on his journey. Our B. Y. P. U is still growing. The membership is increasing. The Olive Leaf Club meets the first Wednesday night in each month. It will meet at the home of Mrs. Wm. Hart. All are cordially invited to attend. There will be a committee meeting held at the Baptist Church Friday night for the separation of the small SAVANNAH HOME ASSOCIATION ENTERS NINTH YEAR Old Board of Officers Re-elected On Wednesday Night On last Wednesday night the Savannah Home Association started out upon its ninth year of existence. The election of officers took place and with the exception of two members, the old board was re-elected. The financial secretary, Mr. Ed. R. Collins, is the oldest officer in point of service, having filled this position since the permanent organization of the Association. His services have been entirely satisfactory and he has demonstrated himself to be an efficient and useful officer. The present president has served seven years in his position, and a beautiful tribute was paid to him in a well read paper by Mr. James H. Paige. The other officers who have served diligently for the past five years are Mr. H. E. Peyton, the recording secretary; Mr. L.C. Butler, the treasurer and Mr. Joseph J. Brown, chairman of house. The work of Mr. Brown in this position is very commendable and his uniring efforts have placed the headquarters of the association upon a very high basis. Mr. James F. Butler Mr. Chas Squire and Capt. Julius Maxwell, come in for a part of the spoils in their official capacities, also the members of the house committee. This organization is one of the foremost of its kind in the city and its progress has been remarkable. It has a progressive membership and it carries a very large following. It has elegantly furnished quarters and every convenience is installed therein for the benefit of its members. So well conducted and so harmonious are the affairs of the association that the officers elected on last Wednesday night were without opposition. On Tuesday, August 1st, they will carry their annual afternoon outing to Daufuskle. Two boats have been chartered for the occasion, and judging from previous attendances a large crowd will be on hand to enjoy the pleasure that the organization is known to dispense. The Tribune has just put out for this institution some placards showing the immense crowd that attended one of its outings. It is very catchy and will undoubtedly attract attention. The officers elected are: Ed H. Burke, president; James F. Butler, vice-president; Ed R. Collins, financial secretary; H. E. Peyton, recording secretary; I. C. Butler, treasurer; Jos J. Brown, chairman of house; James H. Paige, advocate and Edward Busty, chaplain. COLORED MAN HONORED BY NATIONAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCY Prof. L. S. Clark, A. M., principal of Knox Institute and Industrial school, Athens. Ga., for the past twenty-nine years, has recently been elected as a member of the National Geographical Society of the United States. This is an honor unsought by Prof. Clark and unexpected to him, and one of which he may justly feel proud. "I have the honor to inform you that you have been recently-nominated for membership in the National Geographical Society by a member of the society and I have the pleasure of sending an outline of the educational work accomplished by this organization. "The National Geographical Society was founded twenty-eight years ago to increase and diffuse geographic knowledge. Its membership includes many distinguished men, among them both ex-presidents of the United States members of the Supreme court, Senate and House of Representatives, ambassadors and ministers of the United States, and men and women distinguished in educational works, and in the great industrial and business enterprises of the country." The offer of membership in this body of distinguished Americans and men of other nationalities was accepted by Prof. Clark. The board of managers voted him as a member of the same in May, 1916, and immediately notified him of his election.—The Athens Banner. Prof. J. Garfield Lemon, of this city, also enjoys the honor of being a member of this distinguished educational society. NUMBER 36 KNIGHTS HOLD EXCELLENT SESSION COURT OF CALANTHE'S REPORTS VERY ENCOURAGING Local Cadets Bring Back First Honors in Drill Contest. The Knights of Pythias of the state convened in Albany Tuesday in their annual convention. The meeting was very harmonious throughout and all of the old grand lodge officers were reelected, all being retained to office without opposition except the grand attorney, Peyton Allen, who was opposed by A. W. Walden of Macon and F. B. Pettle of this city. Both Lawyer Pettle and Lawyer Walden, however, withdrew from the race. The attendance was not as large as that of the previous year. This was in a large measure accounted for by the incessant rains of the early part of the week which kept many home who would have visited the convention city. The uniform rank attracted the usual wide attention. The dress parade was fine and the companies all made an excellent showing. In the competitive cadet drill contest at the ball park the Savannah company under Capt. Stripling brought back first prize, second prize going to the Atlanta company. The winners of the prizes among the uniform companies were: First, Ansley Co., Macon; second, Royal Co., Savannah. Capt. Nathan Roberts; and third, Valdosta Co. The contests among the drill corps were all spirited, first place going to Catledge Co., Macon; second, Valdosta and third, to Fey Co., Savannah. There was no band contest. The Court of Calanthe sessions were also very inspiring. Mrs. R. L. Barnes of this city, grand worthy, counsellor, presided over the meetings. The order was shown to be in excellent financial condition and the numerical strength to be the largest of any state in the union. Mrs. Barnes was most highly praised by the Calanthlans and her untiring efforts to further the interest of the order were spoken of on every side. Among the prominent, visitors who addressed the convention were Supreme Worthy, Counsellor J: L. Jones of Cincinnati, O., Past, Grand, Chancellor Roscoe Simmens of Tennessee and Supreme Grand, Chancellor S. W. Green of New Orleans, La. Sir F. M. Cohen, secretary of the bureau of endowment, reported 272 deaths during the year; total receipts for year, $126,856.92; disbursements, $1,350.03; balance on hand $45,476.89, less $3,701.40. This amount was deposited in a bank in Americus, Ga., now defunct. The convention goes to Augusta next year. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST ASSOCIATION HAS FINE SESSION The Mt. Olive Baptist Association met Wednesday of last week at Macedonian Baptist Church, Rev. M. D. Battle, pastor. About fifty delegates were in attendance and the sessions were all very inspiring and interesting. Rev. J. K. B. Butler was elected missionary. A mass meeting of the association was held Sunday at the F. O. A. B. church. Among the new features inaugurated by the association was that of a B. Y. P. U. convention of which Mr. John Delaware was made president. Rev. M. D. Battle was elected president of the Sunday school convention, Rev. John Williams of Brunswick, was elected moderator and Rev. T. J. Goodall was re-elected secretary. FRANCES HARPER, CIRCLE GIVES ENJOYABLE, OUTING The Frances R. W. Harper-Literary and Social Circle gave their annual outing to Beaufort last Friday. There were about 250 guests present and a very enjoyable trip was had. While the young folks were somewhat disappointed in not having music to dance by on the trip over to Beaufort, yet the return trip afforded them abundant opportunity to enjoy the terpsil chorean art. AUTO-LAWN PARTY A unique auto-lawn party will be given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. McLester, Dale Avenue, by moonlight on Monday night, July 17. Autos leave the library, East Henry street, at 8 o'clock. It is given under the auspices of the First Congregational church. PAGE TWO The Passing Of The Hoop Skirt Skirts are Full and Short, but Limp, Depending Upon Width and Material for Bouffancy COLLARS AND SLEEVES IMPORTANT DETAILS New York, July 11.—The hook-kirt scare has entirely passed. There is no denying the charm of the loop, but in this day and age it has no place except in the most frivolous of dance and evening gowns, and even from these it is being ripped out. This does not mean however, that we are going back to the narrow skirt; no indeed, merely limp skirts. The dainty mid-summer volles and organdies are as full and bouffant as ever, but their fullness falls softly about the figure, and their bouffancy is induced by their width and the nature of the material. Collars and Sleeves Having finished the skirt as far as width, shortness and trimming are concerned, Fashion has now turned her attention to the bodice, laying especial stress on collars and sleeves. Any little becoming idea which strikes one © MCCALL Plain and Striped Voile in Frock may be used in both of these, affording charming possibilities of showing individuality. From the dainty, picot-edged turnover or frill on the dark taffeta frock, the collar ringes to the deep broad collar extendin gto the waistline and below. There are many of us who favor the high collar, even in summer, but this fashioned of net or organdy, and is open in front, so it is really not a high collar after all, but a very becoming detail of frock or blouse. The wide, cap-like collars are most popular this summer. For summer evenings, with light frocks, there are becoming ruffs of net, chiffon, or malines, and the chic little shoulder capes of Georgette trimmed with fur or marabout. Sleeves are transparent, or semi-transparent, of crepe, net or chiffon to match the color of the material of the frock; and are both long and short. The closely cuffed sleeve is favored, and also the flowing sleeve. These latter are very easily made, being finished around the lower edge with a bias fold, or the effective pleat edge. Although not as conspicuous, equally as important as the frock are the dainty underfittings designed to complete it. Combinations, envelope chemises, camisoles, petticoats and knickerbockers are being fashioned of pale ping or blue cotton crepe or volle, the barred and striped cottons, wash satins, and the daintiest possible of sprigged silks with pale toned grounds. The pink or blue crepe or volle is usually finished around the armholes, rock and lower edges with bias folds of contrasting color attached with hemstitching. The flowered silks are also bound with white, or a plain color, or are finished with lace. The envelope chemise is one of the most popular of garments, being shirred, smocked, tucked or boxpleated. For general wear glove-silk knickerbockers and a plain camisole are most practical. Shantung Used in Simple Dresses The summer muslins are exceptionally dainty and charming in their color combinations this season; malize, rose, the palest of pinks and blues being popular, and also white. Shantung and pongee are modish, too, being used in many of the imported frocks and suits. These Shantung come in charming colorings, in stripes, dots, conventionalized designs and plain tones. They are most practical for street dresses and suits of the sports type. Plain natural pongee is being trimmed with vivid, contrasting touches of rose, emerald green, which is one of the most popular shades. Shantung and pongee are also modish and practical materials for the separate coats for general wear over light frocks and for motoring. © McCALL Taffetas and Organdy in Afternoon Dresses Speaking of separate coats, they have been more in demand these last few seasons than for some time, owing to the popularity of one-piece dresses. Some of the most attractive of these coats are being made of dark blue Bedford cord with collar and cuffs of white broadcloth or flannell. Gay silks are used for lining them, or no linings at all. Some of the new lining foulards and volles are particularly effective. HOW IT WORKS Concrete Example of how the National Negro Business League is Trying to Serve the Business Men of the Race Next Annual Meeting to be held in Kansas City, Mo., August 16-18, 1916. Tuskegee Institute, Ala—The officers of the National Negro Business League are always on the alert for opportunities to serve the business interest of the race and are constantly seeking and hounding up unusual examples of successful business management in order that other members of the race in the same or similar lines of business may be encouraged thereby to embody the same principles into their business enterprises. In directing the work of Albon La Holsey, the traveling representative of the National Negro Business League, who is now on the road meeting local Negro Business Leagues and advertising the coming meeting of the league which is to be held in Kansas City, Mo. August 16th, 17th, and 18th, the officers of the national organization have instructed him to report to the national office at Tu-kegee Institute such striking examples of business progress as may under his observation When the organizer met the local Negro Business Leade at Augusta, Ga., one member of the league who was present at the meeting opened the question of establishing a shoe store in that city to be operated by Negroes and the organizer promised to do whatever he could to encourage the effort. Later, the organizer visited Pensacola, Fla., and found a colored man, Mr. Sam Charles, operating successfully two shoe stores. Mr. Charles has been in business for twenty-five years and knows the shoe business from the ground up. Mr. Hosley acquainted Mr. Charles with the plans of the Augusta business men and very promptly he expressed his willingness to give the local league at Augusta the benefit of his experience in operating a shoe store. Mr. Charles is going to Kansas City to attend the meeting of the National League and those who are interested in the shoe business will have the privilege of hearing Mr. Charles tell in his own words how he built up a $7,000 a year business. Operating a Chain of Grocery Stores At Valdosta, Ga., Mr. Holsey met Mr. Thomas Hudson who owns and successfully operates three grocery stores. When Mr. Hudson had been requested to tell how he had been able to build up his successful business enterprises, he replied: "We handle nothing but the best and most reliable merchandise and when the merchandise fail to make good, we make good." "My main store acts as a jobbing house and we buy very largely directly from the manufacturer and supply our other stores at wholesale prices." "All credit accounts are handled from the main store." "We have worked out our own plan for selecting locations for our branch stores, based upon the actual living conditions of our people in that locality." Mr. Hudson has been invited to Kansas City and those members of the race who are engaged in the grocery business may find it helpful to hear Mr. Hudson tell of his work in organizing branched merchandising stores. The Negro Merchants of Pensacola, Ela., are experimenting with a Credit Association for their own mutual protection and Mr. A. N. Johnson, the president of the local Negro Business League will be at Kansas City to tell how the Credit Association is working. These are just a few examples of how the league is making an effort to serve the business men of the race. Wherever a strong man in one line is located, his experience is passed along to other communities in order to strengthen them along the same line. Only in that way can the race utilize to best advantage the resources which we have. Business men are urged to come to Kansas City with their note books. The program as being arranged for this year includes many unusual features of interest to business men and every effort is being made to make the National Negro Business League an organization of direct and practical service to the communities in which it operates through local leagues. Special arrangements have been made for the accommodation and comfort of delegates intending to be present at the coming meeting. According to plans now formulated the various delegations from the several states and sections of the country will meet. at St. Louis, Mo., the morning of August 15th, and leave from that point over the Missouri Pacific at 9 o'clock. At St. Louis a special Negro Business League train will be made up of the various Pullman Cars which bring the delegates to St. Louis. Officers, life members and members of the National Business League in various sections of the country are now at work arousing interest and making up their various delegations. Delegates living in Florida are especially urged to communicate at once with Mr. Charles H. Anderson, treasurer of the National Negro Business League, 132 Broad street, Jacksonville, Fla. Alabama delegates are asked to communicate at once with Mr. E. T. Attwell, president of the Alabama State Negro Business League, Tuskegee, Institute, Ala. West Tennessee delegates with Mr. T. H.

Napler, chairman, executive committee, Nashville, Tenn., or Emmett J. Scott, secretary, Tuske-Gee Institute, Ala. SECURE CONVENTION HALL FOR NATIONAL BAPT. CONVENTION Kansas City, Mo.—With the securing of the big Convention Hall and auditorium the citizens of this city passed their first mile stone in preparing for the visitors of the great National Baptist Convention that is to be held here September 6-12, in cursive. This feat was accomplished by the committee of three, consisting of THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE Drs. Hurst, Williams and Beckham, who are representing the general committee in charge of the entertainment of the entire delegation. Simultaneously to the securing of this convention hall, news came from Vicksburg, Ms. that the executive committee of the congress in session there had chosen its delegates for the coming big gathering. A program covering six days of constructive work has been made, which is argued here as guaranteeing an unusually, interesting session. The committee on homes has been at work for some time making assignments. The citizens of the city, regardless of denomination, have joined hands to help Kansas City entertain her guests, the first week in September. The Baptist Ministers' Alliance took action some time ago, whereby the securing of the big Convention Hall and other places were heartily endorsed. It is safely estimated by President Jones of the National Baptist Convention that over five thousand Baptists will invade Kansas City during the week of the convention. AN INDIAN BOY'S TRAINING My grandmother had twelve children, and one uncle undertook to teach me the art of worship. He used to lead me to the sand banks of the Missouri river, where he would set fire to a pile of drift wood, and then, taking me by the hand, singing sacred songs to the fire and river. In the meantime he threw into them offerings of tobacco, red feathers, and sometimes oak twigs. I never knew the meaning of these offerings, but I always felt that some living thing actuated both the river and the fire. Another uncle came to visit us periodically, and every time he came my brother or I suffered at his hands. Sometimes he would rush to the spring carrying me horizontally under his arm, and would plung my head into the water until I almost sufficated. His common form of discipline was to let me hang by my hands on the crosspoles of the wigwam until my arms ached. My body writhed before I dropped. This brother seemed to like best to command my older brother to tie my hands and feet with a rope. Then he would order me to resist—an ordeal that would make us both cry. In the winter he would also sometimes roll us in snow naked. The punishment of Indian children is usually in the hands of some uncle rather than the parents. Our punishments were inflicted generally because we had disobeyed grandmother by failing to get wool at evening, had resisted fasting or had cried without sufficient cause.—Henry Roe Cloud in the Southern Workman. MINIMIZING RACE DIFFERENCES In these days of emphasis on national and race differences it should be useful to recall the achievements of a man who was not dowered with the features of the Caucasian, enjoyed no bring up in Indo-European speech, and had the disadvantage of being trained from birth to maturity in the ways of the Dark Continent. There is a profound race lesson, mingled with much that is romantic, in the career of Lewanika, King of Barote Land, whose death has been reported from Livingstone. His is a story which needs to be read and thought over in times like these, when lines of nationality are being drawn more closely than ever, and when we seem to be threatened with a recudescence of the old kind of race feeling, based on more differences of physiology, color and speech. It is the blunder of the method of estimating men that it catches at the uneasfuls and ignore the essentials. People not much accustomed to thinking allow themselves to be over impressed with the viable concretes of things, and make little or no allowance for that which does not "hit" them through their organs of sense. Faces noticeable different from ours, strike us as signs of inferiority, mainly because they are different; native capacities and endowments of mind not on the surface we are apt to regard as non-existent. There are enough of these differences in the "foreigner" of our own race stock to betray us into underestimates him. How much the more do we look down on the African, the Chinaman, and the Japanese! It has been supposed that these surface differences are indications of profound unlikeness of physical and mental make-up. How close is the association, and how deep does it go? The whole trend of modern anthropological science is in the direction of minimizing race differences and magnifying race likeness.—Lamond Noble in the Southern Workman.

Lesson III.—Third Quarter, For July 16, 1916. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Acts xvii, 22-34. Memory Versas, 22, 23—Golden Text, Acts xvii, 28—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. While Paul waited at Athens for the coming of Silas and Timothy he was so stirred by the idolatry which he saw that not only in the synagogue did he talk to the Jews, but daily in the market place he preached Jesus and the resurrection to all who would listen to him. And as they delighted in any new thing, this was certainly the newest they ever heard, and they desired to hear more. So they brought him to a public place where he could tell them more fully of this, to them, new doctrine (verses 16-21). The thought of the dead coming to life again was too much for them, and while there were some who believed others mocked, even as they do to this day (verses 32-34). The newest thing to this very day is the old, old story of salvation by the sacrifice of the Lamb of God, as told so vigorously by Rev. William Sunday and others, but as strenuously opposed as in the long ago by the enemies of Christ. Seemingly intelligent men still scoff at the resurrection of the body and the thought of a body of flesh and bones without blood. Ministers everywhere do not believe that the kingdom cannot come till Christ comes again, but speak of it as now here, to be advanced or extended, and the truths of last week's lesson in reference to His coming for and with His saints are simply ridiculed. But there are some who believe God. The people of Athens were very superstitious, or, as in the R. V., margin, religious, and seemed to worship all the gods they had ever heard of, and lest they might have omitted one they had an altar with the inscription, "To the unknown god," and this gave Paul his topic. It is one of the saddest truths of the ages and even of our own time that the true God is largely unknown. "Israel doth not know," "They know not the thoughts of the Lord." "Hast thou not known me, Philip?" "O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee" (Isa. 1, 3; Mic. Iv. 2; John xiv, 9; xvii, 23). God can be known only in Jesus Christ, and therefore all who will not receive Jesus Christ as God do not know the true God. Speaking to gentiles, Paul began at the beginning and told them of Him who created all things and who therefore needed nothing from the creatures whom He had made, as only in Him do all live and move and have their being, and He giveth to all life and breath and all things (verses 22-28). It must have been humiliating to these proud and wise Greeks to be told that they were of the same blood as other nations and that God their Creator had placed them on the earth just where they were (verse 26). It is another great truth, and but little considered, that when the Most High, the possessor of heaven and earth, divided to the nations their inheritance He did it with reference to the children of Israel, although they were not then in existence (Gen. x, 25; Deut. xxxii, 8); so that, as one has said, both historically and geographically, Israel is the great center. That, however, was not a truth for the people of Athens just then, for Paul desired to lead them to the true God and to repentance. He told them of Him whom God raised from the dead, the Creator who had come to the world which He had made, but was unknown in it and rejected by it and crucified, but now alive forevermore and appointed to be the judge of all mankind; and not only was the judge appointed, but also the day, which we learn elsewhere would cover a thousand years, for one day is with the Lord as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day (II Pet. ill, 8). This whole age through which we are passing since Christ was crucified is spoken of as an hour, and a day, and an acceptable year (John v, 25; II Cor. v, 2; Luke iv, 19). The next thousand years is also called an hour, beginning and ending with a resurrection (John v, 23). There shall be a resurrection both of the just and unjust, but a thousand years shall intervene between the two (Acts xxiv, 15; Rev. xx, 5, 6). All who have ever lived shall come into judgment before the same Judge, but not all at the same time. All who truly receive the Lord Jesus can say, "I am crucified with Christ" (Gal. 11, 20), and have passed from death to life and shall not come into judgment for sin (John v, 24). But all such must appear before the judgment seat of Christ, where only saved people shall appear, to have their works approved or disapproved, to be rewarded or suffer loss and to be appointed to their places in His kingdom (Rom. xxiv, 10; II Cor. v, 10). Then we shall come with Him to judge the living nations, according to Matt. xxv, 31, with Joel ill, 1, 2; Zech. xxv, and set up His kingdom. The rest of the dead who did not rise in the first resurrection shall be judged at the great white throne after the thousand years (Rev. xx, 11-15). In the face of such plain statements I cannot understand how any who read their Bibles with ordinary carefulness can think or speak of all people that have ever lived standing before the great white throne. We only need to allow the thoughts of God to displace our thoughts. Freema-ony is the pioneer of civilization. It has a creed broad enough to embrace all that is good in all religions. It makes good citizens better ones under any form of government. It breaks down the barriers of birth, race, creed, and tends to make all nations one great commonwealth—Samuel Ward, Montana. Among the first lessons taught a candidate under his introduction into a lodge, is the existence of a Supreme and personal God. He is impressed in a way never to be forgotten that He is our light in darkness, our strength, our guide and our comfort. It also enjoins upon us a belief and inspiration and authority of the Bible. It is the first object that greets the eye o the initiate and the last on which that of a Master and brethren rests.—Kittredge Haskins. We incline to the view that the loss of interest arises from the neglect to cultivate true brotherly fellowship, from too much ritualistic work and too little practical charity, from a lack of family association, and because the energies of the brethren are not directed toward some objective channel of usefulness. We think that man non-affiliates could be induced to again resume their membership in the lodges by fraternal persuasion, but we do not believe they could be forced to do so. —Jesse B. Anthony. The origin of Freemasonry was shrouded in the darkness of past ages, yet some rays converged and united into the warm glow of its influence, were felt in every part of the inhabitable globe. Freemasonry was a brotherhood based on morality—it discouraged everything that was cruel and selfish. To succeed in securing an entrance into Freemasonry was indeed an honor. It has been, by unthinking critics, objected to as a secret society, but every family and every business has its secrets. The secrets of Freemasonry need not remain unhidden from any man worthy of admission, but they could not be cast before those who would not appreciate their value.—R. W. Barr. There is glory in being a man, in all the true sense of the manliness; glory well exemplifying Masonic and Knightly manhood and glory in so living that the epitaph must be: "He was a Man—Great and good. Loving God, he greatly loved his fellowmen." Wealth may flow in streams to such a man, yet he will not swell with pride nor scorn the humblest of his fellows. Honors may come unsought, and titles unwished may be conferred by loving friends and brethren, but they will beget no vanity, and when the insignia of office has been laid aside there will not be manifest and of the spirit of eminent, or most eminent, superiority over him who has not won his Masonic titles or jewels. The man, in the true and noble sense, is what Freemasonry regards, a "Great and good man," is the highest honor and title that Freemasonry can bestow.—John W. Brown. The pure principles as taught and practiced by our ancient brethren aid in purifying elevating and ennobling the lives of men, but the young men coming into the Masonic fraternity will receive a special blessing, for in them will be instilled and developed a veneration and love for the Deity and His sacred word, which will greatly strengthen their faith and guide them safely through life's journey in the paths of righteousness.—Wm. R. Hamilton. As I view the Masonic Institution and its grand and noble principles, so dear to all within the fold. The first is care of, and solicitude for, the brethren to make its votaries wilser and better and consequently happler. The second, as men and as Masons, not only to watch with unfailing care, but to take, when time and opportunity offer, an active part in what is transpiring in the world around us, and to be directly interested in anything and everything which appertains in any way to the betterment of our fellowman and for the general good of mankind. By doing this we shall be stronger and better Masons.—Chas. Reynolds Smith. A Masonic lodge should resemble a bee live, in which all the members work together with ardor for the common good. Masonry is not meant for cold souls and narrow minds, that do not comprehend its lofty mission. Here the anathema against lukewarm souls applies. To comfort misfortune, to popularize knowledge, to teach whatever is true and pure in religion and philosophy, to accustom men to respect order and proprieties of life, to point out the way to genuine happiness, to prepare for that fortunate period, when all the factions of the human family united by the bonds of toleration and fraternity, shall be but one household; these are the labors that THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE may well excite, zeal and enthusiasm. —Albert Fike. If I know aught about the principles of Freemasonry, its precepts and its teachings, I know that nothing should be more indelibly impressed upon the mind and heart of every Mason than his obligation to care for and protect the widows and children of his deceased brethren. With a struggle we have built thus far the Masonic home of Virginia; it is not as near completion as we should have it, but it is a home, and the Masons of Virginia stand as its hosts. You have for your honored guests the orphans of your deceased brethren. Brothers, they sit down to your table and they sleep in your bed. Surely you will not fail to place bread before them or to throw around their little bodies clothing and comforts and train their hearts, minds and hands in a way that will enable them to become useful and honored members of society—H. Oscar Kerns. The word "arches." in Ezekiel, is without doubt a mistranslation, but some authors think that that arch was known to the Syrians and ancient Egyptians. The arch in brick existed in the year B. C. 1540 and in stone B. C., 600. from the evidence of the uins of actual buildings, but that there was evidence in paintings which carry the arch back to B. C. 2020. The architecture of Greece was essential lintel construction, and it was in the time of Tarquin, a native of Etruria that the improvement of Rome started, and the semi-circular arch became a leading and important feature of Roman architecture; the first recorded date being B. C. 610. There were no arches in the buildings of Babylon.—Henry Lovegrove. Truth is the watchword of Masonry. Let us make it her stronghold and fortify it, by God's help, with the truth that is within us. Elevate the standard of Masonry in our communities. Investigate carefully the character of those who seek to cross the threshold, and do it without fear or favor, and solely for the good of the fraternity. Let the world see that to be a Mason is to be a man of honorable life, with high ideals and pure inspirations.—Selected. Freemasonry always holds the scales of appreciation true for whatever is in the past, reaching over, back thru the past, to those mystic times were we hear strange voices and behold strange forms of another civilization. It is to me the charm and power of the ritual and sentiment of Masonry that we are not cutting ourselves loose from the great reservoir sources of whatever has been great and true in the past. BASEBALL DOPE Pitcher Thomas of the Adelphlas, is still showing the first class form of early season. He is exceptionally effective in the pinches. Of those cavorting around the initial sack, Ricks easily has the shade. The Roosters should have taken Wednesday's game from the Adelphlas. They had several splendid opportunities but their bonehead base running killed their chances. Coker did some base running Wednesday. He took three bases on a pass ball by the catcher of the Adelphlas. The games this week lacked the ginger that should have been injected in them. The Roosters have lost two good players; Johnson, the catcher and Paster, who covers the first sack. Next week's games should draw a good crowd, with the Piney Wood and the Roosters playing on Monday and the Urban League and Home Boys on Wednesday. Shedrick of the Adelphias, Hampton of the Piney Wood and Eugene Howell of the Roosters are playing in Charleston, S. C., this week. Coker, the ex-first baseman of the Home Boys, is now covering the initial sack for the Roosters. The Urban League team is playing at Wainesboro this week. The Eurekas were badly crippled in Monday's contest, but they coped the game just the same. The defeat of the Roosters on Wednesday sends themlower into the cellar. The Eurekas and Home Boys should pull off a double header on August 7th. No extra charges or grand stand tho boys. What's the matter with the ladies, have they lost interest in the games? The league has been poorly patronized since the 4th of July. Attendance is what it takes to guarantee success. "Drag" Smith was very much missed out of the Eureka's line-up on Wednesday. Dope has it that "Hoggy" Monroe of the Home Boys is out batting the heavy hitting Pitts of the Adelphias. Pinckney, the new catcher for the Roosters, played a beautiful game Wednesday and gives promise of being a great asset to the league's tallenders. Manager Ed. R. Collins, of the Home Boys, is a real "bean ball" catcher, for on last Wednesday, while sitting in the grand stand a foul tip going thru the wire screening, raised a beautiful little round knot on his closely-cut nut. Capt. Henry Howell, of the Eurekas, is easily the most valuable player in the league. He's got a fine baseball nut, his wing is like a German Krupp gun and his generalship is faultless. Left fielder Easton of the Roosters has gained the distinction of being the best throwing fielder in the league. and nobody will dispute the fact that he has some good wing. Don't ask who is the fastest player in the league. Simply let it go by calling the name of Walter Jackson who runs round in left for the Eurekas. It took the Adelphias some time to use "Chick" Peacock, but they finally found him a useful little player. From the gate receipts on July 4th, the boys wouldn't mind if Independence day came a little more often. Tell us, please, how would a batter have to be hit by a pitched ball for Umpire Warner to give him his base. HOT WEATHER RULES 1. Load lightly and drive slowly. 2. Stop in the shade if possible. 3 Water your horse as often as possible. So long as a horse is working, water in small quantities will not hurt him. But let him drink only a few swallows if he is going to stand still. Do not fall to water him at nightafter he has eaten his hay. 4. When he comes in after work, sponge off the harness marks and sweat, his eyes, his nose and mouth, and the dock. Wash his feet but not his legs. 5. If the thermometer is 75 degrees or higher, wipe him all over with a damp sponge. Use vinegar water if possible. Do not turn the hose on him. 6. Saturday night, give him bran mash, lukewarm; and add a table-spoonful of saltpetre. 7. Do not use a horse hat, unless it is a canopy-top hat. The ordinary bell-shaped hat does more harm than good. 8. A sponge on top of the head, or even a cloth, is good if kept wet. If dry it is worse than nothing. 9. If the horse is over come with heat, get him into the shade, remove barness and bridle, wash out his mouth sponge him all over, shower his legs and give him two ounces of aromatic spirits of ammonia, or two ounces of sweet spirits of nitre, in a pint of water; or give him a pint of coffee warm. Cool his head at once, using cold water, or, if necessary, chopped ice, wrapped in a cloth. 10. If the horse is off his feed, try him with two quarts of oats mixed with bran, and a little water; and add a little salt or sugar. Or give him oat meal gruel or barley water to drink. 11. Watch your horse. If he stops sweating suddenly, or if he breathes short and quick, or if his ears drop, or if he stands with his legs' braced sideways, he is in danger of a heat or sun stroke and needs attention at once. 12. If it is so hot that the horse sweats in the stable at night, tie him outside, with bedding under him. Unless he cools off during the night, he cannot well stand the next day's heat. These rules are prepared by the Boston Work-Horse Relief Association, whose office is at 15 Beacon street, Boston, Mass. We also publish stable rules and driver's rules. Copies of these rules will be sent free on application. Our office is open throughout the year. THE COUNTY TRAINING SCHOOL There is being developed in the South a new type of school for Negro youth known as the county training school. This development is being fostered by the Slater Board, co-operating with public school authorities in the counties. Any system of publicly supported education in the south is based upon the county as the unit. This is as true of the Negro as of the white public schools. The fostering of a county system, adequately supported and adequately supervised, occupies the efforts of educational forces at work in the field today. A number of agencies are helping in this development. Eight southern states, through co-operation with the General Education Board, employ supervisors of their rural elementary Negro schools who devote their time to the improvement of these schools in the several counties, and also help to bring about better supervision on the part of the public school authorities. The Jeanes Fund assists in this development by bearing a portion of the expense necessary to employ the supervising industrial teachers. This effort has been, not only to teach elementary industries to boys and girls, but to stimulate general improvement in the physical condition of school buildings and grounds, and to reach the homes of the children, thus developing a spirit of community co-operation. There is also a Rosenwald Fund which has brought about directly the erection of new rural school buildings, properly equipped, by securing the cooperation of all the forces in the community, both public and private, of both races. All the forces involved in the establishment of the public system of elementary education seem, therefore, to have been set in motion. Jams L. Sibley, in the Southern Workman. SPRINGFIELD SCHOOL HOLD CLOSING EXERCISE The Springfield school closed Friday night June 30, 1916. The closing exercise was held at Hannah's Chapel A. M. E. Mission of which Rev. Solomon Grant is pastor. This school was taught for a term of nine months by Miss Melissa J. Brown. The closing exercise was very largely attended by the people of the community and also by many friends from the city. Every one that was present enjoyed the exercise. Among the visitors present were Dr. J. A. Martin of St. Paul C. M. E. Church and Dr. J. W. Gilbert, Dean of Theology, Palne College, Augusta, Ga. Dr. Martin and Dr. Gilbert made very interesting talks that gave much inspiration to the entire audience. They highly commended the teacher for her successful work. Dr. Gilbert said he had taught for many years and he understood the hardships of teachers in trying to train children. He and Dr. Martin expressed themselves as being pleased with the training of the children and said they were delighted to have been present to witness the exercise. Miss Brown and the people of Springfield were delighted to have been honored with the presence of Dr. Martin and Dr. Gilbert. Rev. Grant and Rev. Prince, the two pastors in charge of the Springfield community, also made very timely talks concerning the work that had been accomplished by Miss Brown. It is expected that the school will become a public school next term. The parents and trustees of the school are working hard to have it become. They were very much pleased with the success of their children this year under Miss Brown's training and they have asked for her to be their teacher in their petition to the board of education for their school to become a public school. Mrs. Marie Woodruff gave very valuable service to Miss Brown in training the children for the closing exercise. DRY GOODS, NOTIONS AND A FULL LINE OF LADIES AND GENTS' FURNISHING GOODS.

Phone 3853. 506 Hartridge St. GAREY'S VARIETY BAKERY Goods delivered promptly To any part of the City. 506 West Broad Street Decatur, Ill.—If I did not have a letter in the paper last week I am sure that you are willing and ready to pardon me, because it was not in my power to do so, but I must say a few words to you now. Of course I have been doing a little riding since I mailed the last letter, and I am going to do just a little bit more before I write another one, and even before you can get a chance to read this one. When I took my pen in hand to write you a letter last week, I was in Louisville, Ky., and just as soon as I got through, and looked around there. I went right on to Frankfort, where I spent a few hours there looking around seeing what was going on. It was to me a source of pleasure to be there, and to note the wonderful things that the people were doing and what I could do myself. I find riding is a nice thing to do when you can get the right kind of accommodation, and I want to take advantage of this opportunity to thank the L. & N., for the good accommodation I had from Memphis, Tenn., to Cincinnati. Ohio, because I have used this road only along the line. In Louisville, I had the pleasure of meeting Rev. C. H. Parrish, D. D., who is a graduate of the State University, moderator of the General Baptist Association, of Kentucky, editorial secretary of the publication of the National Baptist Convention, which will meet in Savannah, Ga., September 6. Every body who meets Dr. Parrish is impressed with him, because he is a scholar, and a man who is trying to do things. He has been a busy man for years, and it is because he touched the life of William J. Simmons, and got some inspiration from that wonderful man. When it comes to ability and worth, Dr. Parrish is not alone, because his wife has added very much to him. She is one of the trained women of our race. I had the pleasure of hearing her make a speech before the ministers of Louisville, and when she was thus something had been said. She was speaking for a convention that was to meet the next week in a Kentucky town. Getting thru in Louisville I went right on to Frankfort, and there I met Dr. E. L. Underwood, who is the supreme keeper of records and seal for the Knights of Pythias of N. A., S. A., E., A., A., & A., and every other place where you can find them. Now this is being some supreme officer. But with this he is not too big to be reached, but anybody can walk right into his office and will not be met by a secretary demanding to know what you want to see him about. He is a great man at any rate, and I am delighted to have the pleasure of looking into his face, and seeing him just as he is. But from Frankfort, I went right on to Cynthiana, Ky., where I spent a few days in a Sunday school convention and enjoyed meeting the workers. I failed to say to you that I went from Frankfort in company with Mrs. M. L. Brooks, who is at the head of the Household of Ruth for Kentucky, folks, who is clerk in an insurance Miss Sonnie L. Williams, the president of the convention; Miss Cordella Wool-office, and a number of other young people who went on to serve the Lord. We had to make a change right in Paris, Ky., so I just made it with them Reaching the place where the convention was held. I was assigned to stop with the undertaker of the town, W. Y. Coleman. He has a lovely home, and he is kept busy planting people in the earth. Just as soon as the breath leaves your body, your people may shed a few tears, or many as the case may be, yet they have no further use for you, and will turn you over to the man to plant you in the earth whether you grow or not. Now this is what Bro. Coleman is doing, and if you do not have any deaths, then his business itself will die, and he would have to bury it. What a fine time I had in the town. I met Dr. McLouren and his wife, Miss Allene Stewart, who is a teacher, and her brother, and if I would tell you all the others I met. William H. Stewart, editor of the American Baptist, Dr. C. H. Parrish, moderator of the general association of Kentycky; Rev. R. B. Butler, a graduate from the State University, under William J. Simmons, that great educator; Rev. R. Quarles, Rev. Robert Mitchell, and the Lord himself will have to tell you the others Mrs. L. B. Fouse, who is at the head of the Metokas and Galedas, an organization of Sunday school workers, whose origin comes from the brain of Dr. R. H. Boyd, made one of the big speeches which she alone can make. She was the leader in a street parade where young people and old people got in the street three hundred strong and paraded for Jesus. It was a fine sight. I remained there a few days, and soon started for Chicago via Cincinnati, Ohio. I did not get to see anything or any people in Cincinnati, for my connection was close, and I made it on to this place, passing through Indianapolis, Ind. I have heard much of the town, and may go there in time to tell you a few things in my next letter to you. But then why talk about Indianapolis for I am in big Chicago. I was in Chicago last fall when the Baptists had their big time here. It was here where the devil took charge of them and resulted in, the organization of another convention and in a few days all will meet. Of course each feels that he is right. I am not here to discuss matters relating to them, and I am not going to lose friends in trying to do so. Every man has his opinion, and of course I have mine in a crude state. I am going to develop it later. I am back in great Big Chicago. I was here last fall when that big convention was in session. I don't know as I had ever seen so many people on the street, and thought that it was due to the big convention, but when I come back here now I find that the streets are just as crowded, and the people are still on the streets all hours of the night or day. I wonder where they come from and where they are going, but that's their business and none of mine. Now, so far as the convention is concerned, that same big crowd with some exceptions, will be in Savannah next fall, and I am sure the people there will be delighted to see them. They are getting ready now. Old and young, male and female, will be there. I am told that it is going to be the biggest convention that has ever met in Savannah. I had a talk with President Morris a few weeks ago and he told me that they were getting ready. They are going to invade the city, capture the guns, and take the city for Christ. This will be a great big thing to do. I am expecting to be there myself. Chicago is so big until I don't know what to tell you about it. I got on a street car one day that had 22 on the front of it, and it looked to me like I rode 40 miles for five cents. I road just two hours, and that thing was going just as fast as its brains would permit it to go. I had the pleasure of attending Bethesda Baptist Church, and its pastor is Rev. E. T. Martin, who used to be in Georgia and has a brother there now in Thomasville. He is some pastor up here, and he carried a big crowd with him. I am sure that the people would be delighted to know that there is a man from their state up here making good. There is Rev. I. A. Thomas, out at Evanston, who is making the world take notice at the wonderful work he is doing here. He used to teach In Macon, Ga., at the Central City College, and then he heard the call from the Lord and the people to come up this way. Dr. E. J. Fisher told the Lord about him. He has succeeded in leading the people in erecting one of the finest churches in this section of the country, and then he is paying off the debt rapidly. I could just take up a whole paper in telling you about the things that are going on here and then not be through. Our people own some good property here. They hold some good jobs down, and are making good. The soldiers were leaving as I came in and I saw many of our people weeping and crying. Their sons and husbands, and fathers, and lovers were going to the front to protect the blunders of President Wilson. I heard that war is going on in Europe or some where. I hope to remember to tell you a few things about Rev. Curtright, who is the son-in-law of Undertaker, Monroe. C. L. Hardstew NEGRO TEACHERS TO MEET - IN NASHVILLE JULY 26th Nashville, Tenn.—Nashville, Tenn., the city of Negro culture and prosperity, is to be the headquarters this summer for the National Association for Teachers in Colored Schools. An elaborate program has been planned. "I don't see," said John Hope, president of the e Association and president of Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga., "Why this shouldn't be the biggest meeting in our history. You see Nashville is located just right. It is near neighbor of Georgia. Alabama, Mississippi. Arkansas indeed handy to the south generally, and at the same time near the north." Moreover, Mr. Hope pointed out, that the time and place are happily situated this year in that Nashville is right on the road to Kansas City, Mo., where the National Negro Business League and several other big conventions are to meet. President Hope, Secretary J. R. E. Lee, W. T. R. Williams, N. B. Young and others are trying to arrange their sessions so that teachers and others making the trip west can stop over, attend the meeting of the association, see Nashville and go to Kansas in time for the convention to be held there.

Memory Verses, 9, 10-Golden Text, Acts xviii, 9-Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. I do not know that we can tell how long Paul remained at Athens, but he gave a faithful testimony, and some believed (chapter xvii, 34). The messenger of the Lord is apt to be discouraged if he finds opposition to his message and seemingly few, if any, believing, or if after a faithful testimony there is neither a "thank you" nor a word of appreciation. It is true that we must never speak to people nor covet their approval, but most of us are so awfully human that a word of gratitude from one who has been helped by the message is very cheering (I Thess. 11, 4; II Tim. 11, 16). The devil will be sure to tell you that you have accomplished nothing and had better seek some other occupation, and messengers have been known to heed his suggestion. I am thankful that some one said to me many years ago, as I wondered if any good was being done: "Do you recollect that when the devil sowed his tares he went his way, for he was sure that they would grow." And you do not seem to think that the Word of God is as good seed as the devil's tares." That helped me greatly, and since then I have gone my way after a service, saying: "Thank God; that will work; it will surely accomplish His pleasure" (Isa. iv, 11; Jen. i, 12, R. V.). Leaving Athens, we went to Corinth, a wicked, worldly, commercial center, notorious for its immorality, and the first thing we read of him is, not that he preached, but that he found employment with some who were of the same craft with himself—that of tent making—and he abode with them (verses 1-3). He would rather work at his trade and thus earn his living than be a burden to any one. He afterward wrote to this people, asking them to forgive him if he had wronged them by not being a burden to them (II Cor. xii, 13-16). It does sound a little like sarcasm. The Lord Jesus Himself was known as the carpenter (Mark vi, 3) and no doubt helped to make a living for the family till He began His public ministry. When the Sabbath days came round Paul was ready to testify to the Jews in the synagogue that Jesus was the Christ, their Messiah (verses 4, 5 and margin). Silas and Timothy, whom he had left at Berea and for whom he had sent from Athens that they might come, to him, reached him here at Corinth (xvii, 14, 15). The phrase "pressed in spirit" (verse 5) is translated in the R. V. "constrained by the Word." Weymouth says Paul was preaching fervently. We think of Jeremiah, who, when he was derided and reproached, was tempted to stop speaking the Word of the Lord, but it was such a burning fire within him that he had to speak (Jer. xx, 7-9). We think also of Elihu, who said that he was so constrained by the spirit within him that he was like a bottle of wine ready to burst and he had to speak that he might be refreshed (Job. xxxii, 18-20). When the Jews opposed Paul and blasphemed he turned from them to the gentiles and found an open door in a house close by the synagogue, owned by a man named Justus, who worshiped God (verses 6, 7). When God wants His message proclaimed He will provide a place. I held a class in one town where all the churches were closed against me for the truth's sake, but a hotel proprietor invited us to meet in his parlors, and so we continued. Paul said concerning one place, "A great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries" (I Cor. xvI, 9). Notwithstanding the opposition at Corinth there was much encouragement, for the chief ruler of the synagogue and all his house believed and also many of the Corinthians (verse 8). No doubt it was, as always, because of the manifest work of the Holy Spirit that the devil stirred up such opposition. How Paul must have been strengthened to continue by that most gracious visit of the Lord Jesus Himself, who came to him in the night and said, "Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace, for I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee, for I have much people in this city" (verses 9, 10). The day that the Lord appeared to him on the way to Damascus He said, "I have appeared unto thee" (chapter xxvI, 16), and this was one of those other appearings to him. We have His completed word and can hear Him speak to us at any time if only we have ears to hear, for He is the same Lord who revealed Him to Samuel by His word. (I Sam. 11, 21), and He loves to do it still. Being thus strengthened, he continued at Corinth a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them (verse 11). In due time he sailed thence, taking Priscilla and Aquila, and, leaving them at Ephesus, he went on to Caesarea and Jerusalem and Antioch and thus completed his second missionary journey (verses 18-22). We would like to know where he left Timothy and what became of Silas, but we shall meet Timothy again, and we can wait to know a lot of things. It seemed to Paul that he must be in Jerusalem in the near future, but note his "if God will" and see Jas. 15, 15. WHOLESALE AND RETAIL Fruit and Commission Merchant 303 ST.

On Monday the Piney Wood and Roosters meet and Wednesday's game will be a battle between the Urban League and the Savannah Home Boys. The two games of this week were rather slow yet fairly well played. On last Monday the Eurekas knocked the Urban League boys down a peg, defeating them in ten innings by a score of 7 to 6. Costly errors coupled with stupid playing and inability to hit Howell, who supplanted Heywood in the box for the Eurekas during the last two innings, proved the undoing of the Urbanites. Capt Simmels of the Urban League and Center, Fielder Warner of the Eurekas were the batting stars of the afternoon, both getting two hits out of four times up.
