2,000 LABORERS DISAPPOINTED
2,000 LABORERS DISAPPOINTED
REMAINED SEVERAL DAYS AT
FOUR MILE CROSSING
Labor Trains Stopped
Hundreds of Women Among Those Wishing to get Work in the North
The two trains which it was rumored throughout the city would leave here Monday loaded with laborers for work in the north did not materialize and by their failure to go the hopes of over two thousand able bodied men who were ready to chance their luck in other fields were blighted. So wide spread was the rumor and so eager were the men to get off that thousands of them started for the mobilization point, four miles on the Augusta road, Sunday night and early Monday morning there was a sufficient number present to fill a train of fifteen coaches
By ten o'clock Monday morning it seemed that every hacking car in the city was traversing the road between West Broad street and the four mile point and as each car would unload the already large and anxious crowd resting along the railroad tracks was increased by others of the expectant sojourners for the north and hastened back to town for another load. This was kept up by the driver until about 5 o'clock in the afternoon when thousands of persons were on the scene. The crowd was stretched up and down the cross tracks for a distance of about a half mile and as each north bound train approached a mighty yell went up from the two thousand old men and women who were expecting to go to the north where they would find employment at a figure two times that which they are getting here for their day's labor. There were men there who lads up in the crowds and there were lads in the crowd who were not far from the knee breeches age, yet they all intent upon going and waited patiently for the two labor trains that they were told by their friends would take them north free of charge. Women were there, too, all ready to board the train and go with it wherever it was bound. There were about five hundred of them, some old, some young and some even with nursing babies in their arms. The rumor had spread throughout the city that they too were to be taken and many of them disposed of all they possessed with the exception of the things necessary for the trip. Many of them even sold their furniture and gave up their homes. Stretched along the tracks under the watchful eyes of their owners were trunks, grips of every description and even baby carriages. Spectators to the number of about four thousand were there viewing the expectant travelers and wishing them good luck.
About 5 o'clock the county police, augmented by a detachment of city officers, appeared on the scene and attempted to clear the tracks, but the crowd was too large and finally the officers found their task impossible for as they would clear one section of the tracks the crowd would serge to another. The crowd was extremely orderly and good natured and the two arrests that were made were for minor offenses.
Night came on and still the crowd lingered around. Everybody was asking everybody else if the train was coming. No one seemed to have any definite knowledge about the matter yet for fear the much sought for two trains might come up all of the two thousand old persons wishing to leave these scenes stood around wistfully looking at one another. By midnight, the spectators had all left for their homes while the erstwhile travelers made their beds on mother earth around the mobilization point lest perchance they should miss the chance to depart for the north.
The early morning hours found them still here and yet no train. Near 7 o'clock about fifty of the crowd returned to the city, being worn out by their night's experiences. These, it developed, returned on hearing that the trains would leave Tuesday afternoon and by five o'clock a crowd fully as large as that of the previous day was at hand. Tuesday night at ten o'clock the crowd got weary and gave up in disgust, all coming to town save about a hundred of the more persistent ones who still felt within themselves that the opportunity would still come when they might depart for the north. These, too, however, gave up at night fall and ambled back to the city four miles away.
A Tribune representative wishing to ascertain the truth of the situation, approached several of the railroad officials Wednesday and was told that there would be no further deportation of laborers over their lines from this point. Many of the men who were waiting at the four mile hill for transportation north, were from neighboring cities. Some of these men have returned home while others are in the city.
一
Not to be entirely disappointed in their desire to go north; over three hundred of the men paid their own fares and are now across the Mason and Dixon line where they will find employment at wages that will enable them to realize much more than the average dollar and twenty-five cents paid there.
It developed that there was no one

J. H. Butler Charged With Deporting Labor
SEVENTEEN COLLEGE BOYS DE-
DETAINED AS WITNESSES
Case Dismissed by Recorder Next
Morning
Charged with violating the city and
state law in sending labor out of the
state J. H. Butler, manager of The Savannah Tribune, gave hound Friday afternoon of last week for $1,500 to appear in court next morning. At the same time of his arrest, seventeen college boys who were waiting at the New York steamer's dock ready to sail were apprehended by the city detectives and held at the barracks as witnesses.
The arrests were the outcome of the labor agitation which has arisen here this summer caused by the departure of about 3,500 laborers for the north. Immediately following the first deportation of laborers about four weeks ago, Editor Johnson of The Tribune upon noting the great opposition the city authorities were manifesting toward the movement, obtained an opinion of Asst. City Attorney Atkinson on the matter and was advised by him that the forwarding of students from this port to the tobacco fields of Connecticut did not in any way conflict with the labor laws of the city or state.
The students being sent up by Mr. Butler were signed up for the work in Connecticut by the home office in New York of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. The twenty-five hundred students needed for this work during the summer were to be sent from Norfolk, Va., and this port and the Urban Leagues of both Norfolk and Savannah were asked to cooperate with the New York League in sending up these students.
Editor Johnson as head of the local league appointed Assistant Secretary Butler of the league to take charge of the forwarding of the boys who were assigned to go by way of this port and approximately three hundred boys were handled by him prior to last week.
About three weeks ago Mayor Pierpont sent city detectives to investigate the activities of Mr. Butler in the labor movements. They were told by him that only students were being forwarded and that his services were given to the work without remuneration, and that the work in Connecticut was only temporary. The detectives were also told of the opinion of the assistant city attorney in the matter. Nothing was heard of the affair until Friday afternoon when Chief Detective Murphy called on Mr. Butler at The Tribune office about two hours before a crowd of forty-five boys were to sell for New York. Twenty six of the boys had boarded the steamer before the detectives arrived there to arrest the crowd as witnesses in the case. However, seventeen of them, who arrived at the steamer about three o'clock, were taken into custody and lodged in Jail to appear at the hearing the next morning. Of the boys arrested three of them were from Payne College, Augusta, eleven from colleges in South Carolina and two from Atlanta schools With the 'exception of the Payne college boys who were taken out on bond furnished by Mr. Paul Edw. Perry, the boys were all held in Jail until the next morning.
The recorder dismissed the case the next morning after hearing the evidence of one of the student witnesses and the statement of Mr. Butler. On Monday the seventeen boys retained here by the unpleasant and uncalled for incident, augmented by ten others, sailed for New York.
responsible for the crowd's gathering at the four mile polar on Monday and Tuesday, the men and women simply going out there with a hope that labor trains would leave there since they had left on the two Mondays prior when fully twenty-five hundred men were taken to Pennsylvania.

TAKEN FROM TRAINS
Wholesale Arrests to Stop Immigration of Negroes to North
Americus, Ga. Aug. 16—Almost half a hundred Negroes were arrested at an early hour this morning as they started on their journey to cities in the north and east, where they had been promised work. Armed with state warrants charging misdemeanors, a formidable array of policemen and deputy sheriffs, accompanied by Solicitor Zack Childs, brought the Negroes back to this city, where they will be held pending legal operations to stop the wholesale emigration of laborers from this section.
The officers got wind of the fact that a large number of Negroes from this city and vicinity would entrain on the 2:30 a. m. for Savannah en route to Northern and Eastern points, and realizing that the continued exodus of Negro labor is bringing about a serious condition of affairs among the farmers of this territory, they determined to end the practice if possible.
Sheriff Harvey, Deputy Sheriff Bob Price, Policemen Lowery, Summerford, Ribsby, Chalkley and Sollector Zack Childs all battled the 2:30 train with warrants in their possession? The Negroes holding 'transportation' for the north also climbed aboard, and not until the train was speeding toward Leslie did the officers begin their operations. By authority of the John D. Warrants, the officers took into custody all Negroes bound for the north and, detained with them at Leslie, where automobiles were in waiting to bring them back to Americas with their prisoners.

RACE FOR PENNANT BETWEEN
ADELPHIAS AND EUREKAS
Savannah Home Boys and Urban Lea League Fall Lower
The race for the pennant in the Negro Social Club Baseball League which closes at Athletic Park on Labor day seems to be between the Adelphias and Eureka Avith the Piney Wood close on their heels. The winning of Monday's game by the Piney Wood ties them for second place, with bright chances of slipping up a peg on the Roosters Monday. The struggle will come off Wednesday between the Adelphias and Eurekas. Should the Eurekas be lucky enough to take the game it will tie them for first place in the meantime the Adelphias are going to fight hard to retain its leadership.
The Home Boys fell before the Piney Wook on last Monday, the score being 3-2. The battery for the Home Boys were Graham and Adams and for the Piney Wood. Nixon and Warner.
On Wednesday the Roosters defeated the Urban League in the last inning by a score of 11-10. The game went seven innings and the League boys things in their favor up to the final inning when their opponents started a batting rally and walked home with the victory. The battery for the Roosters, was Graham and Pinckney, for the Urban League Thomas and Warner.
On next Monday the Piney Wood and Roosters will meet and on Wednesday the Adelphias and Eurekas.

VOTE FOR THE SCHOOL TAX
VOTE FOR THE SCHOOL TAX
FAILURE OF ELECTION MEANS
CLOSING OF SCHOOLS
Election Wednesday
Every Voter Interested in Advancement of City Should Cast Vote For Tax
Next Wednesday the voters of Chatham county will be given an opportunity of saying whether or not he wishes the public schools to be open this fall, for if the election called by the ordinary for the special school tax should fall to carry it would mean that thousands of school children of the poor will have to run wild in the streets during the nine months that they should be in school.
It will require a two third vote of the registered voters to assure the opening of the schools this year and every voter failing to cast his ballot, whose name appears on the list, will be counted as disapproving of the tax and be considered as opposed to the opening of the schools.
The situation is a very serious one and while it is thought that they will be no trouble in getting the required two-third vote, yet it is imperative that every voter be at the polls Wednesday morning and voice his sentiments in favor of the election by casting his ballot for the special tax. There are approximately 500 Negroes who are eligible for the election and it is very necessary that every one of the half thousand go down on record as favoring the school tax. The election should vitally concern them and the poor white man for it is their children who will suffer if the schools are not open and not the children of the rich and well-to-do.
ODD FELLOWS B. M. C.
The Old Felows B. M. C. of America meets in Washington, D. C.; on the 11th of next month. There is not as much interest manifested in this meeting by the local lodges of the order as has been in previous years. Many of the lodges and househouses have failed to elect delegates—and the outlook is that a small delegation will go up. The committee in charge of the state delegation has selected the Southern railroad as the official route. The fare from Savannah will be $19.85 and the tickets limited to September 20th.
INTEREST BEING QUICKENED IN Y. M. C. A. CAMPAIGN FOR BUILDING FUND
Ladies Auxiliary to Play Base Ball
It is indeed gratifying to note that the interest in the Y. M. C. A. campaign is beginning to increase. Subscribers to the fund are paying the amounts pledged and it is hoped by the management to have enough funds in hand within the next few weeks to make a substantial payment on the property decided upon.
Encouraging too is the new interest being shown by the members of the ladies' auxiliary. Under the leadership of Me-dames Harper, Hubert, Hill, White, Singleton, Armstrong and others, a real baseball game between teams of females will be staged at the baseball park during the month of September. The ladies who will take part are arranging to appear in suitable costumes prepared to put up baseball in packages of the real article. No one will doubt that a capacity park will be present to witness this unique exhibition by the ladies in the interest of a worthy cause. Tickets and announcement of the game will be out in the near future and it is hoped that every one will secure a ticket.

This Is The Season For Silk Frocks
They Fill Many a Gap When Summer Cottons Show Signs of Wear
TAFFETAS AMONG THE MOST POPULAR
New York, August 11.—No doubt most of us are beginning to feel that our summer wardrobes are beginning to look a little the worse for wear. It is invariably the case when August comes. The dainty volles and organdles that were so crisp and fresh at the beginning of June and July when we started the season with them, are looking limp and faded since they have been pressed into service through the warm weather.
O. MCCALL
While it may seem rather late in the season to start getting new summer things, just now the stores are full of wonderful bargains in dainty summer frocks, and this is the opportunity for those who have to be economical. Lovely dresses and blouses in volles, linens, crepes and other sheer fabrics can be picked up for a song, as the saying goes, and it is well worth getting them for the remainder of the season.
But you will make no mistake in having one of the simple silk dresses that are so much in vogue. They are wonderful for filling in gaps between the seasons—and not only that, they are going to be very good for fill. They will be quite comfortable with a top coat, if the weather demands it, or with a fur cap or scarf. The warm weather has not at all dampened the enthusiasm for fur, capes and scarfs. It is such a common sight to see them worn on days when the mercury rises to great heights that one almost feels that one has been laboring under a delusion all along to believe that fur could be anything but cool!
Taffeta the Leading Silk
By far the most popular silks for dresses just now are the taffetas. They are especially smart in self tones and in the many striped, checked and blocked effects seen. Navy blue and

Ribbon a Fashionable Trimming the rich dark tones predominate. In some very striking designs both checks and stripes are combined. Following closely in the lead of taffeta are messaline, faille, figured and dotted foulard, crepe de chine, silk volle, chiffon crepe and Georgette crepe.
The two illustrations shown here are typical of the simplicity of the present styles. The dress of checked taffeta has a gored skirt with panel front and back, and of course, it would not be complete without the large patch pockets on either side of the front, for pockets are as popular as ever in spite of their having been in fashion so long. In the waist, the panel gradually tapers toward the neck, where it is met by a collar of Georgette crepe, which ripples at the back though the front is quite flat. Chiffon, net or organdy is often substituted for Georgette crepe in fashning collars for this type of dress. The only trimming in this model is seen in the buttons
on either side of the panel. The color harmonizes with the dress. That the vogue for combining plain and figured materials has not by any means diminished, is shown in the dress of plain and figured foulard recently seen on teh avenue. It is trimmed with ribbon arranged in bands on the under skirt and cuffs, and in plaiting which finishes the neck and hem. Note the gathered pockets and the straight tunic plaited at the top. These are two prominent style features of the season. This model is one which at first sight may seem intricate, but on closer inspection one discovers that the novel toucheu which make is so chic, in reality, easily carried out.
Parasols and Spot Globes At all fashionable resorts, parasols of bright hues and fancy shapes are strongly in evidence. They are in all colors, both in self tones and in effective combinations of two harmonizing colors. One of the novelties which has been taken up in the Japanese parasol with its many colorings harmoniously blended.
Sport clothes continue to be largely featured. The craze for silk sweaters keep steady on the increase. Gold, bright green, purple, blue, old rose and gray are among the most favored colors. The sweater as a rule, is in some gray color and hats and stockings to match enchance the charm of this much-favored costume. Smocks and middy blouses are now made not only of linens and heavy cottons, but are very frequently developed in taffeta and crepe de chine, also silk and wool jersey cloth. The smock of taffeta worn with a jersey skirt is one of the latest combinations.

AMONG THE MASONS
Noble Lives
No lives can be nobler than those spent for the uplifting of mankind. For them there is no death. Could that radiant glow of joy and happiness which they have poured into the dark and desolate homes of the distressed be reflected upon their death beds, we could see them pass from this life to that of the realms above in a halo of heavenly glory. The voices that, thru such a noble life, have been whispering words of cheer and encouragement to the sorrowful may be silent; the hands that patiently and mercifully have administered to the weak and suffering may be folded in the embrace of death; but life itself and the memory of their deeds will live forever!
Know Thyself
Have you made a personal application of the above sentence lately from a Masonic standpoint? Have you examined every action of your life to see if you are groung in Masonry, or are you just floating along with the tide, without chart or compass or any particular point in view? If so, you are a drone in the hive, and will surely be stung to death by an outrageous conscious when the day of retribution comes and it will "some sweet day."
Craftsmen who are slow in discerning their own faults are quick in discovering errors in others. In lodge they reflect every flaw and forget to be brotherly. They criticize harshly and unjustly, and think more of letter than the soul of Masonry. They see not as theylare seen, and would be surprised if fittingly reprimanded.
To soothe the unhappy, to sympathize with their misfortunes, to compassionate their miseries and restore peace to their troubled minds, is the grand aim we have in view. Let us remember the brother who has been striken with illness, carry to him a sympathetic spirit, and a cheerful smile, and fill his sick room with heaven's refreshing smiles (flowers), and far as in our power help him bear his suffering—Queensland Freemason.

Perhaps one of the best answers to the alleged Godlessness of Freemasonry is the fact that fully 30,000 ministers of the Gospel in America are members of the craft.
Only One Freemasonry
While there are many religions, there is but one Freemasonry. And while we would not be understood as en-
THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE
devaroring to elevate Freemasonry above christianity, we offer no apology for saying that, while religion has caused many tears of sorrow to flow, made millions of widows and orphans, imprisoned disbelievers, tortured them upon rack, and burned them at the stake; has devastated cities and swept them from the face of the earth, desolated lands and blotted out nations, Masonry has done none of these things. Freemasonry has no armies, no navies, no arsenals, and no magazines, nor implements of war or death. On the contrary, if all men were good and true Masons there would be no wars. Its sons are the hosts of peace; its aims, good deeds; its banner, Love, and its countersign and battlecry, "Peace and good will upon earth."—Selected.
If Masonry is in your heart, you will be a moral temperate and prudent man, keeping a guard over your lips and actions. You will abhor profanity and intemperance, and reprove those thoughts in Masonry who may be guilty of them. You will be affable and courteous, treating all good Masons as your equals, paying due respect to those in office, regarding the opinions and making allowance for the prejudices of every place you visit.—Victorian Freemason.
The Strength of Masonry
The most hardened pessimist in the fraternity cannot but see the enormous potentialities of Masonry. In its teaching it touches the very vitals of the most absorbing questions upon which mankind has ever speculated, the relation of man to God, the relation of man to himself. These questions are all touched upon in the great teachings of Masonry, although the thousands receive the degrees who never realize that they are even approached. From the standpoint of the individual, then, Masonry contains the pabulum for his growth and development to a degree unguessed by most of us.
From the standpoint of society, Masonry presents an organization dedicated to the uplift of the human race, which in numbers, in personel and in social influence is unsurpassed. Where it has been allowed to show its influence the result has been instantaneous and powerful.
Then it is not true that we are wasting our strength?—Selected.
It is the light of Masonry that the candidate is seeking for, and it is only by a study of the teachings of Masonry through his brain that Masonic love of God, his neighbor and himself is possible.
. . .
Masonry is one and the same everywhere, but its standing and efficiency differ greatly. It is the same institution, having the same noble history, sublime principles, and lofty purposes. It differs not in itself, but in its representatives.

HONOR SYSTEM FOR
·DELINQUENT GIRLS
The following method of treating girls at a reformatory is de scribed in an article in the August Southern Workman on the -Industrial Home School for Colored Girls in Hanover county, Va. "The marking system is used, and when girl succeeds in making an average of ninety-eight per cent for two months in succession she is allowed to
wear a white waste on special occasions. When she succeeds in making an average of ninety-eight per cent for three months in succession she is allowed to wear a white dress to evening prayers and other special occasions. She is known as an honor girl. After she has worn a white dress three months, making an average of ninety-eighth percent, she is given a blue band which is worn on the left arm. An additional blue band is given for every three months that she keeps her good record. When she has received four blue bands she is ready to be paroled.
"No girl can wear a white dress or waist who cannot launder it well. When an honor girl fails to keep to the standard she has to go back to the uniform, but she is given a chance to start all over again and work for the white waist and dress.
"The honor girls sleep in honor rooms, sit at the honor table in the dining-room and have privileges that the other girls don't have, which make the girls work all the harder to belong to the honor class."

BOYS' AND GIRLS' CLUBS FOR NEGRO CHILDREN Office of Information, U. S. Department of Agriculture. Washington, D. C.—To help Negro boys become practical farmers, and to assist Negro girls in becoming competent housewives, the United States Department of Agriculture, in co-operation with the state colleges, is organizing throughout the south, Farm'Makers' Clubs for rural Negro children.
THE SAVANNAH TIMELINE
Virginia, North Carolina, Florida and Mississippi. The work also is being carried on to some extent in each of the other southern states.
The chief object of these clubs is to encourage Negro farmers, particularly in the cotton sections, to raise some food instead of devoting their entire attention to a single crop.
In the clubs for boys, the typical plan is to encourage and help the members to use an acre, one half of which is devoted to corn, one-fourth to potatoes, and one-fourth to peanuts. This teaches a desirable rotation, and at the same time furnishes three food products for human consumption, and two that are useful for cattle or hogs.
The girl members of these clubs receive practical instructions in gardening, canning, cooking and housekeeping.
According to reports, the county sup-

‘The sermon on, Sunday night de
livered by Rev. J. A. Martin, anent the
recent detention of students, was point-
ed and commendable, Jlegal and un-
called for actions mst ‘be resented in
an effective manner.
For the past several weeks crowds of
men ‘and women from other places
have been coming here seeking em-
plerment in the north. Hundreds of
them are here now without any means
‘of support, and others are coming oc-
easionally. The Tribune advises these
people to either stay at home or go di-
rect north. By sach large numbers
coming here will make conditions de-
plorable, and will do themselves no
good,
All lovers of liberty will stand abash
at the action of the sberiff and his dep-
uties at Americus in attempting to
keep Americans from leaving that lo-
cality. in order to secure work
to better their condition. It is a great
reminder of the day of slavery and
other countries where free actious are
prohibited. The main cause of the
present unrest smong the laboring
Glass of our people can be rightly traced
to such actions as enacted in Americus
during the week. Advantage was tak-
en ot those men, und some of them
should have bad sufficient pluck to
resint the arrest and seek redress.
Meventeen Negro school boys arrested
and held over night in the city barracks
simply because they were seeking lu-
erative work in northern fields, is the
pitiable plight in which the students
who arrived here last week to sail for
the tobacco fields of Connecticut found
themselves. The boys had committed
no offense whatever against the city of
Savannah or the state of Georgia and
every one of them carried a contract
for work in the north, signed several
months‘ago with the Urban League of
New York, It is true that they were
not held under any charges but were
simply detained as witnesses, yet they
were kept all night in anSunfit little
room hn the guardhouse and cansed to
endure the indignities of the ordinary
prisoner and forced to await the sall-
ing of the next steamer, three days
later. It was a needless detention of
the boys and was evitlently done’ to
inconvenience and intimidate them.
But such action by the city police de-
partment will not stop the deportation
of labor from this port. It was ian
ifetly an effort to scare the hoys and
prevent others who might he going
north by way of this port from show-
ing up. The boys arrested were a
very intellixent. likely looking crowd
and their apprekension by the city au-
thorities simply because they were
passing through the city en route to
jnerative employment fields of the north
ix resented by every well thinking Ne-
gre citizen here. “We wonder what
stem would Chief Detective Murphy
and’ his associates take to stop a sim-
Har movement of white students. It
is just such treatment as this which
is inducing Negro lubor to ¢o to other
fields whenever the opportunity pre-
sents itself, and until the south learns
how to handle the labor situation fairly
and to treat Negroes as if they are

but if it fails, then the thoncadds of
children who are making good and
useful citizens of themselves through
the training given during the nine
months of the school year: will be
locked out of thelr school houses for
at least twelxe months. The school
problem confronting the citizens {s {n-
deed a very grave one and one which
we cannot, afford to treat lightly. It
is either that the school tax election
must pass or we shall have to forezo
for a period of one year that most
cherished privilege of ‘all in civilized
communities, that of sending our child-
ren to school. Time 4s precious, es
pecially to the poor man, and | his
children can ill afford to miss 2 whole
year's schooling. .Tt therefore behooves
us to rally our forces and go to the
polls on nest Wednesday and to the
man yote for the reopening of our
schools. We cannot spaye, our cotgreg
out of school for ieee must go ‘for’

comfront them, We cannot afford’ to
be apathetic in this matter, It js
face to face up to us to view the sit-

affirmative yotes that we do not
wish the progress of our children im-
peded by a twelve, or even one, month

fs Plain, ft is elther schools or no
schools.‘ ‘Phere is no midway ground
and we as progressive citizens cannot
for one moment afford to wince at a
situation which is of so much vital
importance to the whole community
“nu which means so much to our cbild-
ren. ‘The fight for the school tax is
directly upon the poor man, white and
black, To him the private schools of
the city are a luxury which his child:
ren cannot enjoy because of a lack of
means, but to the rich and well-to-do
it matters ttle whether or not the
public schools open October first for
there are: ample school ‘facilitiés for
their children, in the private institu:
tious of the’ city where the matfer of
tuition will be a mere trifle. The
problem is largely that of the Negro

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
1 Tim, vi, 10—Commentary Prepared
by Rev. D. M. Stearns. L
Paul is now on his third and last
anissionary tour. As be returned from
bis Zecond tour he left at Ephesus his
two! Nubw “workers, Priscilla ‘abd
Aquila; whom he bad brought’ with
him from Corinth. ‘7s thei proceeded
to Jernsalem “ana _.tmoe “to “Antloch,
whete"tie remained Sor série’ tthe be-
fore‘starting on thts last tour (vill,
18-23). We cannot think of him tarry-
‘ing ‘anywhere without selzing “every
oportunity to speak’ of Jesus Christ
and.His sufferings and glory. Having
passed through Galatia and Phrygid.
nourishing atid strengthening the dis-
‘ciples with bread from heaven, he
came again to Ephesus (xix, 1). Dur-
ing his absence Priscilla and Aquila
had been busy at something more than
tent making, for a Jew from Alex-
andria, eloquent and mighty in the
Scriptures, had come to Ephesus, and
because of the fire that was in him he
spoke boldly in the synagogue and
taught diligently the things of the
Lord, but he did not know of the
baptism of the Holy Spirit. ‘These two
faithful ones expounded the Scriptures
more fully to bim concerning some
things, and then he felt led to go to
Corinth and was commended to the
disciples there, whom he was able to
help much, and he mightily convinced
the Jews, from the Scriptures, that
Jesus is the Christ (xvii, 2428), There
is many a Priscilla who 1s quallfed to
instruct more fully many an Apollos,
but the latter are not always'as teach-
able as this one seems, to have been.
‘The crown of glory is a special reward
for those who feed others with living
bread, ahd it 1s not eloquence that is
needed, but just a willingness to re-
ceive the message from the Lord and
deliver it in His name, as the disciples
received the bread from the Lord's?
hands when the 5,000 were fed ‘and
passed on to the people what they re-
ceived from Him. They neither made
St, nor bought it, nor increased it, nor
in any way improved upon it, ‘but were
simply channels or messengers be-
tween Him and the people. Our Lord
Himself only said what Wis Father
told Him to say, as He has told us in
John xil, 49, 50, and thus He honored
His Father, and the Father wrought
through Him. 3
‘This gives no opportunity to stow
what we know or what we can’ do.
and is therefore very bumiliating,to
the pride of man, and many will not
submit to tt. But there is no other
-way by which we can be true messen-
gers of God. If the message is ours
He will not assume any responsibility
concerning it, but if it {s His message
He will see that His purpose and
pleasure are accomplished by it (Isa.
ly, 11). When Paul came to Ephesus
Apollos had gone to Corinth, and Paul
began to inquire as to what the bellev-
ers knew of the Holy Spirit, and, see-
ing thelr ignorance in this matter, he
taught them more perfectly and be-
came God's channel to them of the
gift of the Spirit, eo that they apake
with torigues and prophesied (xix, 2-7).
Every true believer is a femple of the
Holy Spirit, and when any one ‘re-
ceives the Lord Jesus the Spirit takes
up His abode in that person, but there
is a difference between being indwelt
by the Spirit and filled with the Spirit
@ohn xiv, 17; I Cor. vi, 19, 20; Acts il,
4). The Spiritvabldes in the belfever,
and we cannot pray, as David did,
“Take not Thy Moly Spirit from me”
Ps, Ul, 11), but we may be filled and
refilled as the need arises for special
service.
For three months Paul spake in the
synagogue at Ephesus, boldly disput-
ing and persuading’ concerning tho
Lord Jesus and the kingdom of God,
and when opposition drove him out he
continued in the school of Tyrannus
for two years or more until all in the
province of Asia (where he was for-
bidden to speak on his*second tour, as
in xvi, G) heard the word of the Lord.
Jesus. Some very special miracles
‘Were also wrought by the Lord through
Paul (xix, 19). Wicked men tried to
do wonders, even some in high rell-
gious standing, using the name of the
Lord Jesus as they heard Paut do, but
they fared badly indeed! while through
Paul the word of God grew mightily
and prevailed (xix, 13-20). Having
‘Bent ‘Timothy and Erastus into Mace-
donia, where be hoped to-follow them.
he continued in Asia, completing threo

Lesson X—Third Quarter, For
Aug. 27, 1916.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Memory Verse, 24—Golden Text, Acts
xx, 32—Commentary Prepared, by
Rev. D. M, Stearns. .
After the uproar pf Ephesus, Paul
bade. an, affectionate farewell, to the
disciples there, ‘and crossed over to
Magedonia, whither Timothy, and Eras.
tus,had preceded _pim (xix,,22; x%,.1).
Atter, cguiforting .the disciples, . prob-
ably in all places where he had preach+
ed the word, he and his party recrossed,
to Troas, where he frst beard the call
to Macedonia. He had tarried three
anonths in Giece, and now,they abode
seven days at Troas (xx, 26; xvi, 8 9).
There they had an all night preaching
service, at which one young man who
sat in a window slept so soundly that
he fell out from the third story and
was killed, but the Lord restored him
through Paul, and all were comforted.
Paul must have been full to overtiow-
ing with messages which he felt would
be his last to them (xx, 7-12, 25). While
all the party went by ship to Assos,
Paul walked across country to meet
them there (verse 13). While fellowship
with’ the brethren {3 offen refreshing,
there is nothing so graud as to be
alone with God, and this jonely walk
would give Pail opportunity for the
communion he desired. *
Paul desired, if possible, to be at
Jerusalem by the day of’ Pentecost, 50
instead, of visiting Ephesus again he
sent for the elders of the church there
to meet him at Miletus, and the prin-
cipalPart of our lesson today {3 the
record of his farewell address to them
(verses 14-17). He reminded them that
for three years he had faithfully test!
fied to Jews and Greeks repentance
toward God and and faith toward our
Lord Jesus Christ, testifying the gos-
pel of the grace of ‘God and preaching
the kingdom of God (verses 21, 24, 25),
These“ure the truths which all need to
know, and there is nothing so grand to
teli as the grace of God which bring-
eth salvation to all and justifies freely
all who truly receive him (Rom. iil,
24; Eph. i, 8, 9; Tit, il, 11; it, £7).
Since ali are guilty before God and
the righteousness which He requires
no mortal mén has nor can obtain by
his own efforts it is surely good news
that God has provided this perfect
righteousness in Christ Jesus and of-
fers It, freely to every penitent sinner
(Rom. iil, 19; 11 Cor, ¥, 21; I Cor. 1, 30;
Tom,.,%, 4). Humility becomes us al-
ways, for we are nothing and know
nothing and can-do nothing apart from
Etim, iind there is no room for boasting
except'in the Lord. If we realized how
great fs the wrath from which we have
een delivered and which still rests
upon and awaits those who are not
saved there might be more prevailing
tears on our part for lost ones about us
(verse 19; I Thess. i, 10; John ill, 36).
‘Then there is the building up or edify-
ing of the saints so necessary for the
glorifsing of God on the part of His
saved ones (verse 32), dnd nothing can
do this but the word of God, which is
the only food for the soul (Joba xvil,
17; Jer. xv, 16). Paul could say what
manyda‘ preacher cannot say: “I kept
back nothing that was profitable unto
you, * ** I have not shunned to de-
clare unto you all the counsel of God’
(Verses 20, 27), Although it is written
that “all Scripture is given by inspira-
tion of God and fs profitable,” thats|
there fs a'special blessing upon all who
read or hear the book of Revelation,
that our Lord said that it was foolish
not to give heed to all that the proph-
ets had said (II Tim. 1, 16; Rev. 1, 3;
Luke, xxiv, 25), yet there nre those who
turn away from all prophecy and spe-
clally from the book of Revelation and
encourage others to do so. Such would
do well to consider what 1s writtch of
those whd feed themselres instead of
the, flock and are called wolves, thieves,
robbers, hirelings (verses 29, 30; Ezelx.
xxxiv; John x).
Paul gvas always speaking of the
kingdom of God, as was also our Lord
Jesus (verse 25; sxvilf, 23, 31; Matt. iv,
23; Acts 4, 2), but of all Bible topics
perhaps none {s more misunderstood
than that of the hingdom, which Is yet
to be set up on ths earth at the second
coming of our Lord and which cannot |
be till He shall come, as Ile Himscit |
taught (Luke xix, 11-13). Will all who |,
read these notes please bear with me ||
in my oft repeated assertion that this
is not the age of world conversion nor |_
of subduing all things to Christ? But,
as James said at the counell at Jeru-
salem, it is the time of taking out from |.
the gentiles a people for His name, ||
that so He may come again with His |;
church, His bride, as the Messiah of |.
Israel for their conversion as a nation. }«

HARDSTEW IN ALABAMA
SESUS WATist Cid not get into the church
people, there would be right here in
this country 2 war greater than that
of Europe and perhaps as many prec-
fous lives would be lost to the world.
But they can fall out almost to kill and
then a little talk with Jesus makes it
tight. Now you just read this, and
then I will tell you more about it:
“Birmingham, Ala. July 13—The
Commission appointed by the Generat
Conference of the A. Mf. B. Zion church
at Louisville, Ky., May 1916- met in
Birmingham July 12 to adjust the mat-
ter between Dr. J. S. Jackson, former
financial secretary and the A. M. E.
Zion church.
“The entire affair was amicably set-
tled to the satisfaction of all parties
concerned: Signed, J. W. Alstock, F.
P. Mayo, George C. Clements, W. L.
Hamblin.”
“Now this as it stands’may not mean
<o much to you, but you will remem-
ber that there was a lively time In the
‘Zion camp, and at the general con-
ference they, did not Ret to allow
the Rev. Dr. Jackson to hate a-chance
of a man accused of murder. In other
words they would not hear him. But
he Said the “truth will get a hearing
Some day.” It did and now they Send
ont that all is well. We congratulate
the chureh and Dr. Jackson upon being
able to settle such weighty problems,
without any one getting hurt. Of
course there was a woman in the final
adjustment. Mrs, Pauline H. Jack-
son is one of the shrewdest Husiness
women I have ever met. She took
charce of the books, or at least of Dr.
Jackson's private papers, and when the
matter was called just was there with
the dicuments which had much to do
with the getting straight, and I will
always take off my hat to that wo?!
man, and Dr. Jackson should feel
proud that n& nas such a wife,
Now that this matter has been <et-
Hed in the ranks of the Zions, and all
things are moving along smoothly in
the At M.D. church, and they are get-
Hn right down fo It. and the bishops
ire now Setting ready for their fall
ronferences. They .promise ta he

" Rev. Dr. G. W. Porter. who was be-
‘ore the A. M. F. church in Philadel-
hia for bishop, has since died, and
le was buried last week. It is to be
egrotted. Then there are matters in
he Raptist church still hanging fire,
nil it is as hard to tell just when the|
annon will go off, but the big con-
ention will be puiled off in Savannah |
eptember 6. Tt promises to be the
reatest convention in its history. I
ad the pleasure of seeing Dr. F. C.
forris last week and he is getting!
eady. He was working on his ad-
Iress, and from what I could see of it.
t will be worth hearing, and will have
ome good information for the peo-
Savannah will see our people as ty
as never sven them before.
But you want to know where I have
een and what I have heen doing, and
it will be my duty to tell you as far
us possible, You recall I have been
to Waco, Texas and I felt like saying
some cuss words while there, but that
would not be in keeping with my re-
ligion aud .my common sense, so I
would not say them, but I thought
just a few in my heart. The Lord will
forgive me T am sure, and the people
Will also; since they do not know what
I had in mind to say.
I had the pleasure of attending the
session of the Grand Temple and Tab-
ernacle of the Knights and Daughters
of Tabor, one of the strongest organ-
ization in the south. They have 23.-
000 of them in Texas alone, and I
don’t know how many are being hatch-
ed in the other states. C. BE. W. Day,
1s the chief grand mentor, and he is

the home of Rey. E. C. Morris, D. D.,
president of the-National Baptist con-
vention, I enjoyed very much being
there and, coming in touch with the
people of ‘that section of the country.
I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs.
A. H, Miller, the wealthlest widow in
Arkansas. She is as rich as cream it-
self, but you yrould not know it by
looking at her. She has spent her life
in helping her husband and was con-
sidered the business member of the
firm, When he died she just took
hofd and went right on. She devotes
her time to collecting her rent. I don't
know whether or mot she! knows how
much money or how many houses she
has. She holds about $20,000 worth
of mortgage on the Arkansas Baptist
college, and is able to let them bhye
that much more and then have plenty
money to play on.
I had the pleasure of menting Rev.

tion of the National Baptist Conven-
tion; Rev. Joseph A. Booker, scere-
tary of the Home Mission Board’ of the
same conyention; Rey. W. II, Moses,

are in readiness for the big convention.

AMERICA FIRST AND. EFFICIENT
A powerful arrangentent of the Ad-
ministration; a faultless and dignitied
pesentation of the argument for the
procention. Such was the speech of
Charles Evany Hughes in which he
formally accepted the — Republican
presidential nomination, “We come to
Petite ina plain and dircet mine? our
faith, vur purpose aud our pledge” is
Mr. Uuzhes' opentns remark." And
what follows fs plain’ and direct. _ No
Mowery verbosity; 10 “weasel words”
but facts. plainly put and striking
home. Not only did Mr. Hughey ex-
pose the stick and straw construction
vf the Democratic party, but he pre-
sented a plan for a nobler, more stable
structure, founded on “2 dominant
sense of natursl uulty” with the Re-
publican party, “the agency of auttion-
nl achievement,” as the master build-
er, and, we are contident, with Mr,
Hughes the guardian of the edifice,
Mr, Hughes eptorized his desire for
American supremacy in a sentence
which will be the watchword of his
party: “Americy first und America
Enticient”, He then outlined the duties
of the executive in respect to our for-
eign relations and instanced how, at
the very time when most we needed
the services of trained and experienced |
diplomats they were recalled and the
service demoralized by the appointment
of tyros whose sole qualification was
that they were ‘deserving Democrats.”
|* As was anticipated the Mexican poll-
‘cy was Mr. Hughes’ chlef poiut of at-
eee It is the administration’s weak-
est point. It is the perfect type of 2
yacillation and instability of purpose,

once in our histors, and that was when
the shiftness pf Jeffersou and of Mudi-
son culminated in the war of 1812.

APPLICATION OF GOLDEN RULE ONLY SOLUTION OF RACE QUESTION
Spanking from Matthew 7:12, Rev. J. A. Martin, pastor of St. Paul Colored Methodist Church, West Broad street, said, among other things: "This verse offers a solution not only of problems arising between individuals but a solution of problems between races and nations no less involved in this universal proposition.
It gives a solution to what some would call a labor question in Georgia and, especially Navannah? I do, not doubt for one moment of this rule had been in the minds of our local authorities that the students of Paine College, August Ga., and those of the different schools in South Carolina would have been arrested and kept in detention or prison one minute for the crime of hunting work on a tobacco farm in some northern or southern state. To do as you would be done by would have prevailed and the police power of the state and city would have said God bless you young Negro men in your hunt for a summer job. Would not this God bless have been said to any class of white young men as students or ditch diggers in hunt of labor whether going from Georgia to Malne or Mexico? Yes, the proud spirit of the American freedom and democracy would have scorned and destroyed any attempt to prevent such travel of a free person.
Whatever may be said as to the merit of the state law as regards labor emigration, is not at issue just here, but we wish to urge with all of our souls that the method to have it apply as a hindrance to the students arrested by the Savannah authorities, to our minds, has every sign of an attempt to a reversion of slavery. There could not have been offered a more frightful picture of serfdom in the days of "William the Conqueror" when serfs were bound to the land and their lords. From this condition the proud Anglo-Saxons in those days fuse to cease their practice until King John was made to stand in the now bare footed and graft 'the (Magna Charta) Great Charter. We so well know that among other principles involved was "the right of the individual to move where he wished is a free man to contract to sell his labor in the market of the world to the highest or lowest bidder, as a sacred birth right in a country of freedom."
Jesus no doubt reached the highest point just here in mapping out our birthly relation one to another in point o findividual freedom and right treatment one to the other.
If the Englishman waded through blood to establish this part of the Golden Rule, Jesus would come to the same through a different method of approach on the high ground of appealing to the hearts of regenerated men and women. This sermon on life in its daily conduct and application in human contact must find an abiding place in the nation, state and cities of this great republic.
My heart was made sick to witness such scene as arresting seventeen in-
nocent young men whose only crime was attempting to board a ship in search of a summer job. This was especially sickening when we think of Savannah as the oldest city in Georgia supposed to be the fairest of all when it comes to a proper and just enforcement of its rules upon white and colored. Think of any city attempting such tyranny in the face of teaching the theory of the Golden Rule each Sabbath to its thousands of young. Shall the Negro be forced to say that religion is a farce in the hands of our white neighbors because of his too often disregard for the Golden Rule when to him the racial element is involved? Or shall the courageous young men, white and black, rise up and denounce such evil practice in the name of God and humanity?
those covet each church a headquarters, Attari Challie Baptist challenger public ad this new of Georgia much more reform as the state money an complish friend of
We cannot believe the Godly men can stand such, and here we appeal to them to throw themselves into the harness and preach from the pulpit and pew as well as from the press against such high handed insults and down right impositions against a brother because of a black skin.
The New, births and Golden Rule are great failures in so far as humanity is concerned as long as such wanton abuse of legal authority against human rights is permitted. We thus insist that the hemmant of the good give their voice in protest against these sins. The Golden Rule, thank God, finds its application in human affairs here on earth and reminds those who fail to practice it that Jesus is indeed absent from the community which tolerates such false arrests and evil detention of defenseless young men in search of work. We ask the co-operation of all good people in our onward struggle for better things under the application of the Golden Rule. Not necessarily because we are Negroes and because our brothers happen to be white, but rather on the high grounds of righteousness as dictated by the great law of God expressed by Jesus in this sermon on the mount.
There are three months left of our conventional year, at the expiration of which we are to assemble at the Springfield Baptist Church, Augusta, Ga., Rev. J. M. Nabrit, pastor. I hope that you are looking forward to that meeting with the same high hope and unshaken confidence that I possess. Already the Baptist of Georgia have won for themselves a praiseworthy record, and I sincerely hope that in Augusta we shall complete the task which shall vindicate our rights to be called the most progressive and aggressive state Baptist convention now operating among Negroes in the United States—in the world for that matter. Let me urge upon every Baptist in Georgia to prove his love for, and loyalty to, his denomination. You will be glad to know that from every section of the state encouraging reports are being received and new assurances are being given which indicate that our convention in Augusta shall break all records. We are asking for an average of 25c per member from every Baptist church in Georgia. We are asking also that a record of the names of

Challenge to Baptist of Georgia.
Baptist leaders of Georgia, here is a challenge for you. Some time ago in a public address I asserted that under this new unified system, the Baptist of Georgia would raise and report as much money for mission, education and reform as any other denomination in the state. I said that we have the money and we have the men to accomplish this. After my address a friend of mine who belongs to another denomination ridiculed my assertion declaring that it was far too extravagant for a man of my intelligence. He said it is true that the Baptist have the money but it is not true that we have the men to gather this money for the purposes stated. He said that it is impossible to organize our Baptist leaders so as to have them labor to one common end. That the more prominent men among us, jealous of their personal prominence, cannot be induced to accept the plans of another fearing less by this acceptance they acknowledge the superiority of the proposers of such a plan. That the less prominent among us are not concerned about the well being and prestice of the denomination and are content to live in practical seclusion with the flock that they pastor. I confess that I took the criticism seriously and that I am aglow with the desire and determination to destroy it. The Baptist ministers and laity, I believe, love deeply and are as loyal to their denomination as any people in Georgia. It is true that we have not been as thoroughly organized, but now that we are perfecting our organization, I appeal with all earnestness there is in me to every Baptist in Georgia to rise up in his might and help to establish a record that will be above adverse criticisms from whatever source. We can do it, we ought to do it, and under God I believe we will do it. Let every deacon lend unstinted support to his pastor, and let every member of every church in Georgia prove his indorsement of his pastor and his love and loyalty to his denomination.
Yours for a grand record for Georgia Baptists.

nothing a ofally against Dr“C. W.
Childs. The fight against him was
based solely upon his unfortuucate ia-
liance with the “Bruce Machine,” which
all had determined should go, bag and
Dageasze to the serup-pile. The doe-
tor was far more loyal to Mr. Bruce
than Mr. ruce was to him. Dr, Childs
deserved better treatment at the hands
of the man he saved from dismissal
last year und held up for, despite the
fact that 2 member of bis family ‘had
been denied justice by the head of

NATIONAL EFFICEENCY
If national etficieucy depends, not
only ‘on national organization and ad-
ininistration, but also on the surer
foundation of efticiency aud initiative
of individual citizenship, then surely
industrial education is a great national
problem, the importance of which Is
as yet only faintly realized. Hamp-
ton and Tuskegee are today among
the foremost influences in the entire
country for the promotion of indus-
trial education and efficiency. Said a
prominent official of the state of Ala-
bama to me a few days ago, “I have
no fear that Tuskegee’s work will re-
sult in any trouble between the races
at present, but as things are going
now it will not be long before all of
the best mechanics in this vicinity
will be found among the colored men,
and the white mechanics will find it
difficult to get work and may then
make trouble between the races,”
Naturally I suggested that white boys
and girls should have the same training
as ts given at Tuskegee, and this must
inevitably be the final result of Tus-
"kegee’s example and influence.
it is good business to encourage and
support such work as Hanpton and
‘Tuskegee are doing—good business es-
pecially for the South, but good bus!i-
ess also for the entire country; for
anything which encourages and pro-
motes the efficiency, initative, economic
independence and happiness of its
agricultural and industrial workers,

THE. COUNTY TRAINING S€H}OL
* The . work of, the county training
School is, to prepare its pupils tofllye
in the. mfdst of those adverse’ condi-
tions that’,are almost general ,in',the
South, and to’ live in such a way 48.to
deerdase’ the High death rate among
Negroos, to better thelr economic (600-
gition, and to lift -higher, the,i ealetot
e community. Therefore boys* 2
taught to do simple bench work, :to
build a plaip house, to. bulld wire7atd
picket fences, to make oak baskets,
to sole, heel and patch shops, to nied
tin. galvanized, and zinc cbdoking }ve
sels, fo put_on common wall papef ‘to
whitewash, and.paint. Girls are,tatght
to sew, cook, to ‘make shuck mats, to
launder, to ean fruit, meat and vete-
tables,.to make sliuch matresses, and
to do general house work. This may
not seem a great work to these aghe
know little of rural life In the South
but to him who knows much, it is most
important, since it has to do With the
strengthening of the foundation of
the race; namely, the home.
Interest in the school has been
brought about in different ways, chicf
of which is the playground. Here
there-are swings, seesaws, croquet sets,
and ropes for jumping. The boys play
ball and other minor games. Back of
the school a park has been arranged
with flower beds, a rustic bridge, seats.
and other things to make it attractive.
Students go to the park when hey are
tired of play to rest, or’chat, or read.
The pleasure they get from these things
tends to make school life attractive,
to generate a spirit of co-operation,
and, above all, to kindle and keep
alive interest in school life. So great
has this interest grown that the schdol
has become the social center of the
community. The parents take as much |
pride in it as theyebildren. |
