OLD FOLKS GIVEN AN OUTING BY URBAN LEAGUE WEDNESDAY AT CATTLE PARK Day Was One of Real Enjoyment And Pleasure On Wednesday the Urban League gave its annual picnic to the old folks of the city. As in former years, the outing was given at the beautiful country Lane of Mrs. Redel Meere at Cattle Park. There were one hundred and fifteen old folks who took in the trip, the largest number yet to be taken on this enjoyable yearly outing. They were there in all their glory, singing, laughing and even playing. Extreme age seem to have been no impediment to their utmost enjoyment and even the most desript in the crowd forgot their infirmities and hobbled round as lively as the hale and hearty. The crowd was taken out in automobiles, carriages and vans and arrived at the picnic grounds about 10:30 in the morning. From the time of their arrival Cattle Park was well aware of their presence for they rambled all over this peaceful little settlement and "nosed" into everything. They even attempted to superintend the repair work which was being carried on by the road gang and many of them watched with much anxiety the capers of a loud exhausting little motor boat taking her tryout in the waters round about. In order to cheer the picnickers along, three prominent ministers were present, Rev. R. H. Singleton, Rev. J. L. Taylor and Rev. N. H. Whitmire Religious services were held by these ministers and the old folks joined heartily in the ceremonies. Their singing attracted the attention of the inhabitants round about and many of them stood about looking in amazement as the old folks sent up their voices loud and strong in the old time pieces which were indicative of the stormy times which surrounded their childhood days. About 2 o'clock Photographer Johnston appeared on the scene and it was amusing to watch the old folks as they attempted to straighten up for the pictures which he snapped. They all wanted prominent places in the pictures and it was all the photographer could do to keep them still long enough to get a good picture. After seven hours at the grounds, during which a most appetizing dinner was served by the ladies in charge of the outing, the plenickers returned to the city. They were good and tired, but were not too exhausted to keep the roads ringing with their plaintive melodies as they rolled along. The Willing and Sunshine workers of the league, with Mrs. Rachel Moore as chairman, had charge of the outing. The ladies worked hard to make the plenckers happy and were greatly assisted by Mr. T. T. Freeman. Mrs. Marion Brooks and Mrs. Ellen Richardson wish to thank their many friends for the kindness and sympathy shown them during the illness and death of their beloved sister, Mrs. Amella Green and for the beautiful floral designs given. Many thanks to the Broads Aid and Social Club Branch the Ladies' Olive Leaf Club and the White Rose Tent of which she was a member for their large attendance and beautiful floral designs. NATIONAL NGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE MEETS NEXT WEEK Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 9.—"We believe that the Industrial and Historical parade which we have planned as a feature of the Business League meeting will surpass anything of its character the race has ever had," said Fortune J. Weaver, president of the local Negre Business League of Kansas City, today. Precisely the most impressive thing the stranger meets in Kansas City at this time is the whole-souled enthusiasm of the citizens as they speak of the coming meeting of the National Negro Business League. Every one in Kansas City seem to feel a sense of pride in the fact that this organization is to hold its annual meeting here and officers of the local league together with the various committees have been appointed to arrange the details of entertaining the delegates, have been most cordially supported in their efforts. The meeting in Kansas City will be epoch making in the history of the league in many respects. Memorial Exercises First: This is the first meeting of the league to be held since the death of our president, Dr. Booker T. Washington and the memorial exercises which are to be held on the evening of the 16th at the convention hall, one of the largest auditoriums in the city, will include on its program speakers of national character from all parts of the country. In a sense these memorial exercises in honor of Mr. Washington will be national in scope and therefore of special to the people in all parts of the country. Industrial Parade Second: On Thursday afternoon, August 17th, an industrial and historical parade will be conducted. This demonstration will represent the progress and achievement of the Negroes of Kansas and vicinity. Decorated automobiles and floats together with other features will make the parade unique and will afford the visitors to Kansas City an opportunity to observe the splendid work being done by the progressive colored people of Kansas City. The parade which is to be reviewed by the mayor and city officials will be headed by the Uniform Rank of the various fraternal organizations represented in Kansas City and will be followed by officers of the following organizations: National Negro Business League, Kansas City local Negro Business League, National Negro Press Association, National Negro Bar Association, National Negro Undertakers, National Negro Insurance Association, National Negro Retail Merchants Association, all of which are affiliated with the National Negro Business League. These are to be followed by the the Pythlans of Greater Kansas City; floats representing the various business enterprises owned and operated by the colored people of Kansas City, officials of the Pullman Porters Association, officers of the National Alliance of Postal Employees and thirty automobiles representing Oklahoma State Negro Business League. The Knight Templar band, K. of P. band and Prof. N. Clark Smith's concert band and several other bands will dispense lively music during the progress of the parade and the line of march will cover all the principal and most important streets of Kansas City. In order that the colored people of Kansas City may have the opportunity to witness and participate in this important event all of the local business houses have agreed to set aside August 17th as a holiday. Instructions to Delegates Delegates Intending to be present SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY AUG. 12TH, 1916 Business Men's Game Enjoyable THE OLD FOLKS ALL OUT IN UNIFORMS Umpire, Revs. Singleton and Taylor There with the Goods Mirth and merriment reigned supreme at the old folks' benefit game last Thursday. Nearly all the old boys turned out in their uniforms, first having "trinomed up" their pinnacles and oiled up their "joints" and a jolly good time they had. "Twould have done yo good to have seen Capt. Maxwell and Bud Weston trying to stop 'em in the field, to have seen Rivers and Whiteman, each carrying excess weight in adipose tissue, running the bases—getting there too. Ed. Collins and Ed. Burke the "oldest two Elds" took turns at catching, and one could scarcely tell which came out with the greater distinction. Russ Harper divided honors with Rivers as one of the stars of the game with his heavy hitting, sensational fielding and all round good playing. Mrs. Davis, ally to the spirit of the occasion, was there to minister first aid to the injured, and right often too was she called in to help. She wore the regular red cross and carried the nurse's kit. Frank Cain, Welcher and Lindsay were there, as were Billy Wilson, Barnard and Mumphries, and all distinguished themselves in one way or another. Cain, Wilson and Mumphries looked like stars of the yester-years, while Lindsay, Welcher and Barnard impressed the crowd that it was their "first appearance." Jim Clayton Williams, lame and halt but ambitious, gave out early, causing the substitution of some of the younger reserve players. Dr. Moody proved a good "old-timer", hitting and fielding well throughout. Prof. Lemon, going in late, made the longest hit of the ray, a home run to deep left field—Revers was playing left. The scorer, Dr. Middleton, found considerable trouble scoring the fusitide of hits, errors and other freak phenomena of the game, which ended 18 to 16 with the Germans on the long end. The promoters of the game were particularly pleased with the umpires. Revs. Singleton and Taylor by the jolly manner, at once caught the crowd and the occasion was one big laugh from the beginning. Rev. Taylor was sympatic at times with the runners but generally a good judge of close plays. Rev. Singleton perfodmed a la Hank O' Day and ran a good fast game, all the time holding his own. In the critical moments he always uttered a flat or a dictum that made the boys shudder and shut up. We all had a good time and at last succeeded in bringing the old folks home movement before the people. Here is a worthy institution and one which the people should get behind and support. It is planned to launch a vigorous campaign to secure funds for the building. Will you help? Communicate with Rev. Whitmire. during the sessions of the National Negro Business League are urged to write Mr. J. H.

The dainty cotton frock, varied by taffetas and a few gabardines and serges, predominates, -and as many of the pretty covtumes are worn by, out-of-town visitors, one glimpses now and then, xomething new and original. At the Ritz-Carlton the other day, for Instance, a young miss yore a dark blue serge frock with a pin stripe of scarlet and yellow, ar- ranged about an inch apart, Her“hat and shoes, which. had high -French heels, were bright scarlet. The effect cwas striking but not unbecoming to ‘one of her age. . i S a ‘ A fil 7 Bee “dl i, Russian Blouse Costume An elderly weman with a quantity of soft white hair, sitting near by, wore a soft xray taille gown, with a large sailor shaped hat of blacl: hatters’ plush. Hatters’ plush, it is predicted, will be one of the popular materials sfor fall and winter hats. Net, in black and white, composed many of the dresses and there were also a goodly number of delicately colored organdies. Sports sults, too, are often worn at the luncheon hour; that is, the soft, glovesilk coats in the favored bright colors, combined with skirts of pongee in the natural shade, or with white or the popular stripes, in vivid combina- tlons. The daintiest of Wonses ate worn under these coats, of a pastel colored Georgette, batiste or a hand- kerchief linen. Popularity of Georgette Frocks ‘The white Russian frock of Geor- gette, with-perhaps a touch of contrast- ing color on cuffs or collar, is one of the favored designs for afternoon and evening wear in the city. Georgette is delightfally cool and graceful and lends itself particularly well to the reason's styles, both for daytime and evening wear, It Is one of the sheer materlals which really washes? and wears vers well making St practical for the modish transparent sleeve, the costume blouse and the dance frock. For the dance dresces, the printed Georgettes are youthful and pretty; some of these have printed borders, and plain white and colored grounds, and then again the softly tinted roxe or conventionalized design is scattered over the material, on a white srorvd or stripes. It is most effective and satisfactory for many purposes. One-Piece Frocks Although many cling to the taflored suit with its, contrasting blouse, eren In the warmest, weather. the one-piece ress is becoming more and more of a favorite. One of the most attractivé of simple serges noticed reeently, was made of two straight widths. heltod in Tonsely with a helt of the material embodied ina dark red soutache. The armholes were cut out deeply and bound with rose color; the wide Col- Yar was also bound with the rose. It was a charming little model because of its simplietty, and very youthfol in its straight lines. ‘The heavy linens, too, are effective for street wear. Ivory white French ‘bine, the soft pale grays, and cool 1ook- ing preeris are among the favored ‘shades in these lines. Many of them are cut along the straight lines of the serges, heing pleated often on to a shoulder yoke, and belted in loosely with a belt or sash of the same ma- terlal as the frock. An especially _pretty white linen on this order. was made with a touch of black on the collar and sash. 7 ‘The sash is quite smart just now von all types of dresses, from the sim- ple serge to the afternoon taffeta or pongee, It is usually narrow, and. _ z EO ay Qype see Mage " Aye im) We HB dats f it j 4 uf f° \° Sy rt pet a made of the material of the dress, or of satin, when the frock is serge; gen- erally a motif is embroidered on the ends, in colored béads or wool. Many of these sashes cross in front and are knotted in the back, loosely and gracefully. Serge and Silk Combinations Many. of the favored silk frocks noticed in the hotels, on the roofs, and in the shops, are combined effectively with a wool material, serge, gabardine or cloth. This is an idea which ap- peals to many and which is being used considerably In the ready-made gar- ments. The lower portion of the skirt, the sleeveless jumper, wide cuffs and collar are generally made of the serge, and the body of the frock of silk, taffeta, satin, or one of the Japa- nese silks, as the ease may be. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE WEEK- LY LETTER By J. C. Lindsay Whether the Negro ix doing his full duty In this community as a business factor or not, he certainly should he given full credit for at least going down on record as an employer af scores and hundreds of unemployed, many of whom would have, no doubt, been num- bered with the three and a half or four thousand who were forced to leave these parts and go north so that they might find sufficient means with which to buy bread for those of their de- pendent who are looking to them for not only bread, but cloth to wear and food to eat as well a5 the thousand and one other things that the head of the home must stand sponsor for. At- tention Is not being called to what the Negro business man is doing in this respect in a boastful way, but on the contrary, attention is called to these conditions for the purpose of trying to help the thoughtless ones among us to realize what it really means to as- sist the business man in your com: munity to continue to keep open these business places, so that employment may be given to the deserving ones among us. There will occur a certain vacancy in an office a Negro concern in this city in a few days, which con- cern, perhaps, furnishes employment to more Negro men and women than any other one concern in the city of its kind and by some means or other, it became known that this place in question would become vacant at a certain time. The person who does the employing for this certain concern, to the certain knowledge of the writer, has had more than a dozen appli- cations for this one place. This con- dition, in a limited measure, will give a faint idea, as to what can be done in the way of furnishing places for those of our own, who are competent to ll them, if the thoughtless ones among us would do their full duty in the matter of giving to their own kith and kin their trade, support and en- courazement in business as is the case with people of every other race. ‘The conscientious Negro business man or woman, so to speak, stands today upon the very brow of the hill of Nelpfulness and waves untiringly the lantern of industry and self help and says to their unfortunate and misguided brother in the dark valley of idleness and shiftlessness, below, “Come this way, we are ready to help you, we are prepared to help you"; and like the man about whom a good story Is told of belng lost, and how how he was found and pleaded with to come to the Ught by one whom he regarded to be his enemy, who held a waving lantern in bis hand and cried with a loud voice “Come this way” but the man who was lost seemed iiot, to heed this ery, but the man with the Jantern continued to cry aloud “Come this way”. The man who was lost in a great wild western swamp heard the voice and made Bis way to the light, only to recognize that he who called as well as be who held the light, was ‘his supposed enemy. Then the story ge that the poor lost man tured at ‘the sight of his supposed enemy and }wandered back into the great dark ‘swamp, there to be devoured by the wild beast, rather than be saved by }a man he hated. This picture, to our mind, In many’ respects. Mlustrates in a way the ac- ‘tual: condition of many of our own people. “The reason that I -don’t trade with so and so is that his ‘dady’, and my ‘grand drddy’ never could get along, I just don't like him. He ts alright while he ts taking your money, but tries to overlook us little fellows socially.” ‘These are some of the conditions which the Negro man and woman en- raged in business must deal with aiid know how to handle. These people who are highly sensitive about many things which ordinary should not be noticed must be taught and trained by the Negro business men and women, that their best and truest, friends from any angle are those of us in business, the upkeep and perpetuity of which-ia almost, if not entirely, in the hands of those who are dubbed by the silly as being the “common people.” We can| not afford to be enemies one toward the other. We must be friends, we must understand ourselves and blend our forces together and prove ty all of our critics that the Negro business man in this community is a powerful uplifting, as well as wonderful civi- lizing influence without which the Negro is doomed already. In a certain southern city lives a Negro mar who Is reputed as being among the wealthiest and of haring the greatest Income from his business enterprises of any Negro In that city. This man, it Is sald, owns the finest barbershop in the world, it is also nald of him, that his home, which is A palace, is perhaps the finest of any owned by members of, the race. This man also heads another business enter- prise which has hundreds of branche: in‘three states, hesides being financallly and interested otherwise In every move- ment which concerns the Negro's up- lift in the community in which this public spirited man lives, and yet it is said to his everlasting credit, that any man, be he white or black, rich or poor, big or little, is met and treated just a like and given the very same consideration at all times and under nll conditions, This high class bust- ness man who turned everything which his hands ever touched into money. is mentioned for the purpose that we might learn a lesson in business, which rill enable us in a way to “Go thou, ind do likewise,” We as business men, nust learn how to get In and hold onr} rade, The Negro with money in hand o spend, is thinking today, as never efore. It is up to us to be as po- Ite and as accommodating” as any ‘Dutchman” or any one else.

SOUTHERN RAILWAY THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE Geo. Grant caught a nice game for for the Eurekas Monday. To have played the last half of the last innig Monday would have been like playing seven up with a blind man. It was exactly twenty minutes of eight Monday night when Umpire Warner forfeited the game (?) to the Eurekas on account of the Home Boys refusal to continue playing. The first game of the double header was too pretty a one for the other to end in a squabble. Every time President Butler of the league is absent from the game, there is something doing. Pitcher Johnson of the Eurekas lost his temper Monday. Mal Bryan, a former Home Boy, is now wearing a "Big "E". McFadden and McFadden worked beautifully Monday for the Home Boys. You know it was dark when "Monk" Roberts coundn't field the ball. Walter Jackson robbed "Monk" out of a double by snatching the ball down with one hand. BASEBALL DOPE It will be absolutely necessary to install electric lights at the ball park of Umpire Warner keeps on the job. The Eurekas took the first game of the double header Monday with the Home boys, straight from the shoulder. The score stood 8 to 5 in favor of the Home Boys Monday when the game broke up on account of darkness. Manager Collins of the Home Boys is certainly soft goins. If the other team don't beat them, the "umps" give it to them just the same. Geo. Grant caught a nice game for for the Eurekas Monday.

Advertising Rates given on Application. Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Georgia, as Second class Mail Saturday August 12th, 1916 For President CHARLES E. HUGHES of New York For Vice-President CHAS. W. FAIRBANKS Of Indiana Inspiring and encouraging were the scenes at Cattle Park Wednesday when the Urban League treated the old folks to a free outing. The joys and pleasures of the pienickers more than repaid the committee of ladies for their arduous labors in planning and preparing for the affair and were a just reason to the score of persons who gave of their humble means in order that these deserving old folks might have a day of pleasure. Too little is done for our dependent old folks and as a people, who are desirous of and ready to serve those who have spent well their days, we should provide more abundantly for their welfare. Such old folks are dependent upon us and we should do every thing in our power to lighten their burdens. We should be more interested in a permanent home for them and on the lots which the Old Folks Association owns in East Savannah we should erect a large, comfortable home in which they may spend their last days in case and comfort. The time is indeed ripe for the erection of this home and if we will do our part in contributing to the cause of those poor and dependent old souls the association will be able to care for them in a manner which will be acredit to every Negro in the city. --- The election of August 23rd which has been called by the ordinary for the purpose of levying a tax for the educational purposes in this county, should be of vital interest to the citizens in general. If the election carries it means to a better and more adequate school facilities, if it fails, it means the closing of the schools for at least the next school term as there will not be available sufficient funds for their operation. Especially should this election be of more than passing interest to the poor whites and Negroes of the city because if the schools are closed for the next twelve months their children will have to remain at home. To the man of means, the many private schools of the city will be available for the education of his children and that, too, without his pocketbook being very appreciably affected, but for the poor man there will be no other alternative other than the denial of educational training for his children for at least one whole school term. It is, indeed, a serious problem which is confronting us and the only solution can be found in a two-third vote of the registered voters of the county in favor of the election. The issue is not that of the white man nor that of the Negro, it is one in which we both share equally and in which we both should put forth our utmost in order to bring it to a successful end. The board of education is sorely in need of funds for the measly $00,000 given us by the state for educational purposes is but a drop in the bucket. We need five things this much in order to operate the schools up to their present standard of efficiency and the only way to secure the funds is by the passage of the coming bond election. It behoves every registered voter among us to go to the polls and cast his vote in favor of the election. As men who are deeply interested in our children's welfare and in the good of the community in general, we should cast our entire strength in behalf of the tax which will enable our schools to remain open thereby assisting in the progressive development of our children. Judge Hughes is making the Democrats wince as never, before. They claim that the Republicans have no issues, yet it seems strange that they continue in attempt to explain their position on many of their actions in question. During the week hundreds of men have left for work in the north. They cannot be blamed for seeking better employment and large pay. It is reported that many of the laborers here are receiving as low as 90c a day for their work. The most humble man can hardly live on $1.50 per day. If those who have to do with labor would only give fair wages, and constant employment, our men would never think of leaving the sunny south. The men employed at the Merchants and Miners Transportation wharves have demanded increase pay. They deserve it. They are hard workers and faithful men. Compared with similar labor in the north they give two hours service for one. The company should readily grant this request. The laborers should be well organized and in a proper and determined manner press their claims. --- Under the head of "Worse than Failure" The Morning News inserted the following: from the New York World: "The fifteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States is without effect. It was framed and adopted for partisan purposes and has been worse than a failure. It created an irrepressible conflict between the white and black races in the South and has done more than any other one thing to hinder the progress of the Negro people since they were emancipated from slavery." The News then proceeded to make the following comment: "Law that is without effect ought to be repealed. Law that causes racial conflict and hinders the race that it was intended to help should be repealed. Law made for a partisan purpose and not for the country's good should be repealed. Therefore the fifteenth amend should be struck from the constitution. The reason why the law is of no effect is because it is not enforced. If those in authority would only carry out the functions of their office the law would be more respected, and every citizen given the recognition and protection that they justly deserve.

EUREKAS AND HOME BOYS DIVIDE HONORS Former Wins First Game While Home Boys Take the Second In the double header game pulled off last Monday at Athletic park, the Eureka team won the first game from the Home Boys by a score of 3-2. In the second game the Home Boys took the lead in the beginning and hold it until the game ended on account of darkness. The score stood at the end of the sixth inning 8-5 in favor of the Home Boys. There was quite a confusion when the leading team refused to play longer on account of darkness, and much speculation was going the rounds as to the outcome of the game. Umpire Warner, however, on yesterday rendered his decision to President Butler of the league awarding the game to the Home Boys.

Taylor, the rector, spoke of the life and work of Bishop Ferguson as follows: "The sad news of the death of the Rt. Rev. Samuel David Ferguson, D. D., D. C. L., bishop of the district of Liberia, reached us Friday. I know that in his death the whole church and the Negro race sustain a great loss, I, therefore take this occasion speak of the bishop and his work, making the following text the basis of remarks: "David, after he had served his generation, by the will of God, fell on sleep" Acts 13:36. "Bishop Ferguson was born in Charleston, S. C., in 1848. His father was a Baptist deacon, his mother was a Roman Catholic. He became a member of the Episcopal church when quite young. It happened in this way. One day he was taken quite ill and his mother called in Bishop Gadsdon of South Carolina to baptize him. On May 6, 1848 the Ferguson family set sail for Africas. Shortly after they arrived all died but little Ferguson and his mother. Little Ferguson was soon placed in a mission school where he was trained and confirmed by Bishop Payne, the first bishop of Africa, and in 1885 was consecrated bishop of Cape Palmas. The services were conducted in Grace Church, New York City. When Bishop Ferguson took charge of the work in Africa he found five priests, five deacons, 18 catechists, six lay readers, nine day schools with 284 pupils, five boarding schools with 215 pupils, thirteen Sunday schools with 268 pupils, forty-two stations and mission places and 500 communicants. After twenty-nine years of earnest labor his work has grown from 42 stations to 103, clergy from 10 to 26, all educated and ordained by him. 9 day schools with 284 pupils to 25 with 1,005 pupils. Boarding schools from 5 to 20 with increase 3339, Sunday schools from 13 with 288 to 40 with 2299, communicants 500 to 3,000. In addition to this, the bishop has established the Cuttington Divinity School at Cape Palmas, and the Emery Hall and the Bronley Institute for the training of girls and many other small industrial schools... Many marks of honor were shown the bishop. He received the degree doctor of divinity from Kenyon College, doctor of canon law from the University of Liberia and at the Lambeth Conference he was presented to the queen. Bishop Ferguson succeeded three white bishops and from statistics given he has accomplished more work among his people than all the white bishops. If any one denies the right of a Negro to be a Bishop in the Episcopal church let them first destroy the life and works of this consecrated child of God. Bishop Ferguson was a scholar and orator. One of the characteristics of an orator is imagination and he possessed a high degree of imaginative power. His language was excellent in point of clearness and discrimination. His face, although rugged, was strong and never failed to exercise mental dominion over others. His eyes told the story of intense earnestness. His figure was graceful and pleasing and his actions were natural and extremely commanding. His power as a preacher and public speaker is recognized by the whole church. In his sermon he delt with fundamental doctrines. Members of St. Stephen's church: The only Negro Bishop of the Episcopal church has fallen asleep, but he lives in his work and influence. He lives because he has gotten the victory over the evil one. Death, viewed without reference to the victory of faith is a terrible enemy. He is the common conquerer of mankind. The more we see of his dreadful dealings with our race, the more do we dread his approach and shun his presence. Without mercy he comes to young and old and fills society with mourns and sorrow. He has not pity for widow or orphan. He goeth through the world as a terrible conquerer, and his path is wet with tears and marked with groans. Each time he comes with relentless fury dealing out the cup of sorrow and bitterness. Fathers and mothers have bowed before his iron throne in vain. The whole church and nation have been unable to soften his hard heart of steel. King David was a faithful worker but his days were numbered, the time came when he was called by God to rest and reward, as with King David, so with Bishop Ferguson. So with all true christians. Their lives are spent in service but at the last they fall asleep. "David, after he had served his generation, by the will of God, fell on sleep." In sleeping he rests from toil, conflicts and suffering. He has crossed life's ocean. The storms and fays know him no longer. He rests!

The body may sleep but the mental and spiritual faculties are active. Bishop Ferguson was like a child. He was full of tender and warm affection and those who met him still cherish the personal memories of his fidelity and friendship. In his mouth was no guille and I believe he stands before the throne of God without spot or wrinkle or any such thing. Transplanted from the cold bosom of earth's cheerless wilderness to bloom and thrive in the Paradise of God. Therefore, my friends, let us rejoice and thank God for a life which leases behind it a radiance of purity, goodness and peace. When placed within Thy searching sight It shrinks not, but, with calm delight, Can live and look on thee! 1752—Better Late Than Never, But Better Never Late—1916 Rev, George Lisle was born about 1752.

Lesson VII.—Third Quarter, For Aug. 13, 1916. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, II Cor. ix—Memory Verses, 10, 11—Golden Text, Acts 20-35—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The topic of this lesson is "The Grace of Giving" and covers chapter vll, as well as our lesson chapter, but we cannot refrain from a glance at the whole epistle even though we shall have another study in it in a few weeks. Second epistles are apt to have special reference to things future, and this one is no exception. Notice the resurrection and the glory, and the things unseen and eternal of chapter iv. 14-18. The heart of the lesson is to me the last verse of our chapter, "Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift" (ix, 15), or as Weymouth has it, "His unspeakably precious gift." The word "unspeakable" is used only three times—here and chapter xl, 4; and I Pet. 1, 8. In each place it is a different Greek word, and used only this once. If such a gift from such a God does not constrain us to be all that He would like us to be and do all that he would like us to do it is only another evidence of our blindness and hardness of heart. This letter is from Paul and Timothy and has a good deal in it concerning suffering and deliverance and comfort, but specially concerning comfort, as in 1, 3, 4; 11, 7; vll, 4, 0, 7, 13; xll, 11. The great adversary, is mentioned as Satan, the God of this world, the serpent (ll, 11; iv, 4; xl, 3). We are taken back to the first recorded words of God in the Bible, "Let there be light," and are taught to find there a foreshadowing of the light that shines into our souls when we are born again by receiving His word (iv, 6). Such love and grace as were seen in the Lord Jesus Christ becoming poor for us that we might share His riches constrained these people first to give their own selves to the Lord and then, in great affliction and deep poverty, prove the sincerity of their love by unusual liberality (chapters v, 14; vllf, 1-9). They were so enriched spiritually in everything—in faith, in utterance, in knowledge, in diligence, in love—that they abounded in giving, to others, that Paul wrote them that it was superfluous for him to say anything to them concerning ministering to the saints (I Cor. 1, 4-5; II Cor. vill, 7; 1x, 1, 11). He encouraged them by saying that their zeal had provoked many to do likewise, and now he trusted that they would be on time with their gifts, so that his boasting might not seem in vain (ix, 2-5). There had been the readiness to do a full year ago, and now it only remained for them to perform the doing of it. No one was to be burdened, and there was to be no anxious longing to do more than they were able, but all must remember that a willing mind was everything, and God only expected them to do that which He gave them the ability to do (chapter vii, 10-12). Many waste time and breath talking of what they would do if they could, or if they had the time and money which some one else has, but I am constantly thankful that we are only responsible for the use of what God gives us either of time, or money, or talents, or ability of any kind. All our service must be from the heart, unto the Lord and cheerfully willing, for God loveth a cheerful or bizarulous giver (verse 7). God gives so bountifully, first His beloved Son and then with Him freely all things (John ill, 16; Rom. vill, 32). But our giving is not always on those lines, and we need to remember verse 6, with Prov. xl, 24: "He who soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly, and he who soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully." "There is that scattereth and yet increaseth, and there is that withholdeth more than is meat, but it tendeth to poverty." When the tabernacle of Moses was built the people gave so willingly that they had to be restrained from bringing, and the same spirit was manifest on the part of David and his people in the matter of gifts for the temple (Ex. xxxv, 21, 22; xxxvl, 5-7; I Chron. xxix, 1-9, 17). Ever since 1884 I have found pleasure and profit in giving to the Lord at least one-tenth of all that He sends me as an evidence that I recognize that all is His, and I have found much blessing in doing this and earnestly commend the plan to others. It is not Jewish, for it is at least as old as the time of Abraham. Neither is there any bondage in it, but the most perfect freedom. I have associated in my mind vill, 0, and ix, 8, of these two chapters (the figures are easily remembered) and rejoice in the grace of Him who became poor that we might be rich and who is able to make all grace abound toward us, that we, having such all sufficiency, may abound to every good work. I have seen such cheerful giving on the part of my own congregation of less than 200 people, resulting in as much as $10,000 a year for missions, that I desire the same blessing for others. See my tract "Secret of Missionary Interest." Box 216, Harrisburg, Pa. And note that all this giving of $50,000 a year from my church and Bible classes is wholly on premillennial lines, according to I Cor. 1, 7; iv, 5; xl, 26; xv, 50-52; xv1, 22; II Cor. iv, 14, 17; v, 10, the coming of Christ for His saints and then with us to set up His kingdom being the inspiration to let Him use us to the utmost to give the gospel to all.

Singleton, who being duly sworn, deposes and says that he is the Secretary of the Commonwealth Loan and Realty Company, and that the above and foregoing statement is true to the best of knowledge and belief. It seemed a good idea to those interested to go around yesterday and ask the mothers of the winners how they managed things, under the advice of a doctor and a visiting nurse, so that their children showed so much improvement in two or three months. Heading the list of winners was William Johnson of 714 Brooks street, Kryn Mawr. Seated on the porch was a woman, smiling proudly, when questioned, over her baby and a $10 prize. She said her name was Mrs. Silas Johnson and the name of the award was William. He showed, the investigators said, he ought to win a prize.
