The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXI B. M. C. MEETS IN WASHINGTON ABOUT THREE THOUSAND DELEGATES PRESENT Georgia Delegation Much Smaller Than Usual But Much in Evidence Washington, D. C., September 13 The eighteenth session of the Biennial Morable Committee of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of America is in full swing. The city is full of delegates and visitors and the homes of all Washington are alive with the presence of "the strangers within our gates." Nearly every state in the union is represented by sturdy men and pretty women and the uniforms of the Patriarchle are handsomely in evidence on the popular thorofares. The local committee has done its work well, under the leadership of General Chairman James H. Coleman, and the individual chairmen have fitted in admirably to the various duties imposed upon them. The official headquarters at 1107 U street have swarmed with crowds since last Saturday and the bureau of information is working overtime. Many places of business up town and the different headquarters of state delegations are gayly decorated with flags banners and ensigns, and everybody seems to be having a good time. The weather is ideal. The main sessions of the B. M. C. are being held in Convention Hall, the business proceedings being opened Monday morning, with Grand Master Edward H. Morris presiding. The preliminaries were held early Monday, in the presence of a monster crowd, Commissioner L. Brownlow delivering the address of welcome. The Household of Ruth opened their business sessions Monday afternoon at the Mt. Vernon Baptist Church,' with Grand Worthy Superior Mary A. Parker of this city in the chair. Grand Worthy Chaplain, Mary E. Washington, of New Albany, Ind., D. N. G. of Indiana H. of R., invoked the blessings of the Almighty upon the proceedings of the order. Cantatas, theatre parties, river excursion, clam-bakes, picnic at Anacosta dances by local clubs and auto trips to 'Amington, Mt. Vernon, and the suburbs have been some of the diversions indulged in by the visitors. The parade through the principal streets on Thursday was the big event of the week, followed by the competitive patriarchal drill at the American League Park and the full-dress ball at Convention Hall in the evening. Friday will come the election of officers. There are no signs now that any bitter contests are on, but no one can tell what a day may bring and there is considerable causing and whispering that looks significant to the mere onlooker. Grand Master, E, H. Morris, Deputy G. M., J. C. Johnson, Grand Secretary J. C. Needham, Grand Treasurer W. David Brown, and H. P. Slaughter, the efficient editor of the Odd Fellows' Journal, are among the "star" performers in the great drama of the day All of the states have large delegations, the one exception being Georgia, whose representation is much smaller than usual. This is due to the many troubles which the linkmen have had in the Empire state of the South during the past sixteen months. Tuesday night the Georgians got together and elected R. E. Pharrow of Atlanta chairman and Ed. H. Burke, of Savannah, secretary. Efforts will be made to have the state charter which was revoked last year, returned. A Graves, of Atlanta, was enforced for the SubCommittee of Management. The absence of Ben Davis and Henry Lincoln Johnson from among the Georgians made the delegation look strange. ST. STEPHEN'S CHURCH TO CEL EBRATE SIXTY-FIRST ANNIVERSARY The sixty-first anniversary of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church will begin Sunday October 8th. Prominent speakers, both ministers and laymen, will take part. The Rt. Rev. F. F. Reese, will preach the anniversary sermon Sunday October 8th at 11 a.m. Revs. Singleton, Davls, Martin, Cash and Redd with their respective choirs will be in charge during the week. The anniversary services will close Sunday night, October 15th with a sacred concert by Miss Alice. Ellis and the members of the choir and some local talent. Each member is asked to bring one dollar as an anniversary offering. EUREKAS WIN CHAMPIONSHIP NOSED ADELPHIAS IN MONDAY'S GAME 9 TO 6 League Closed a Successful Season Though not Largely Attended The Negro Social Clubs Baseball League closed its first season last Monday with the game between the Eurekas and Adelphias in which the former won the championship by one game. The league season began the first of May and the total number of games played was forty-seven, two games being played each week, Monday and Wednesday. From a sporting standpoint the season was a success and it afforded Savannahians some of the best amateur baseball ever witnessed here. As a money-getter, however, it was far from a success. There was not the attendance at the games which the clubs deserved. The pennant race was a very close one for the past month or so. Of the six clubs there is no doubt but that by far the best club came out on top. In only one or two positions did any of the other clubs surpass them and for all round work, both offensive and defensive they were many points ahead of any of the other clubs. As a beginner, the league, however, can be considered a success and the mi-takes of the past season will serve as a guide in the future. The winning of the pennant by the Eurekas can be traced directly to the superb managerial ability and playing of Henry Howell. He has easily proved to be the brainiest of all the managers and his playing has been gilt edged. In addition to this he is the most useful player in the league and by his tenacious grit has kept his boys going fine for the past four weeks thereby nosing out the Adelphias for the pennant. A beautiful trophy, suitably inscribed, will be awarded the winners as soon as it reaches the city. It is presented by the Balfour Hardware company's sporting department. As a final closing of the baseball season the Eurekas will play on September 25, 26 and 27 the crack Jacksonville Giants for the championship of Georgia and Florida. These games bid-fair to attract large crowds and the entire local sport followers will be on hand to cheer Manager Howell and his boys to victory. as follows: NAME G W L P.C.

ESTE GOES TO · HAWKINSVILLE Dr. N. W. Este who has been a practicing physician here for the past eleven years, left yesterday for Hawkinsville, where he will be located in the future. Dr. Este was one of the best known young physicians here and his many friends wish him much success. As a sort of farewell parting, the South Atlantic Medical Association held a banquet in his honor last Tuesday night at St. Augustine hall. Nearly all of the local physicians, dentists and pharmacists were present. WILL START INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL IN AFRICA Mr. Isaac S. M. Williams of Ebute Metta, Logas, West Africa, was in the city en route north from Tuskegee Institute where he graduated last summer. Mr. Williams will return this fall to his native country in Africa where he will establish an industrial school. He will visit Hampton Institute and other schools before sailing for Africa. Mr. Williams while in this city was stopping at the home of Mrs. Bruce, 908 West 43rd street. BUSINES LEAGUE NOTICE The Local Negro Business League at its meeting August 25, passed a resolution requesting the members to attend the Educational Rally at St. Philip church, West Broad and Charles streets; Sunday afternoon, September 17. The address for the league will be delivered by Mr. E. W. Sherman. It is desired that all who can will attend A. B. Slingfield, President W.-W. Hill, Secretary SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 16TH, 1916 RELATION OF GIRLS SCHOOL TO BAPTIST CONVENTION CAUSES TURBULENT SCENES AUDITOR CLAIMS SCHOOL HAS NO OFFICIAL CONNECTION MEN'S OR WOMEN'S CONVENTION Dedication of Lisle Memorial Attracts Crowd Muskogee Beats Baltimore for Next Session of Convention—Savannah Highly Praised by Conventionists for Excellent Manner They Were Treated The 36th session of the National Baptist convention which met here Tuesday of last week had its final session Monday morning. Up to the beginning of the closing day's exercises the meeting had been one of the most harmonious in the history of the body, but when Auditor M. M. Rodgers of Texas, rendered his report on Monday morning showing that the Girls Training School near Washington has no legal connection with either the Baptist convention or the Women's auxiliary, the fat was thrown in the fire and some mighty turbulent scenes ensured. The auditor told of his visit to the school in company with the Rev. Jeringin, of Washington, in order to ascertain facts concerning the institution in order that he might give a correct standing of its affairs to the convention. He said that after some difficulty he was able to secure the desired information and that he found the title to the school property to be vested in Miss Nance Burroughs and Mrs. Layten as trustees and that neither the Baptist convention nor the Women's auxiliary had any legal connection with the school. He said that as the Baptists were supporting the institution he felt that they should have some legal rights in the property and suggested that if the denomination intended to continue its support of the school it should seek to secure some legal connection with the institution The convention by this time had become furiously worked up. It was evident from the out bursts in every part of the church that the fight started last summer in Chicago and is still going on when it was shown that the large publishing house in Nashville, Tenn., bore no legal connections with the convention, but is under the supervision of a publishing board, was uppermost in the minds of the vast crowd. There, were those there who openly branded the report of the auditor as false while others loudly cheered it. At this point Miss Burroughs told of the coming of the auditor to the school and of her being ill in her room. She told of the passage of notes between her and Prof Rodgers who was down stairs in the school's reception parlor and how finally he was ushered upstairs. She then called on her secretary to substantiate her statement but the house howled the speaker down and would not allow the secretary a chance to be heard. Confusion reigned for several minutes before President Morris could restore order. Finally, equilibrium was restored and the discussion from this point went on very quietly. Following Miss Burrough's statement, Prof. Rodgers addressed the convention saying that he wished to do the Training school and those managing it on injustice and if any errors could be found in his report as auditor he would gladly acknowledge them. The matter was disposed of by the body voting to have a committee appointed to, seek out any errors in Mr. Rodger's report. Immediately following the disposition of this matter came the reelection of Dr. Jordan as secretary of the Foreign Mission Board. It took some time to settle this matter for the election of any of the field secretaries by the body was strenuously objected to by the Rev. Sutton E. Griggs, on the grounds that such matters were the business of the executive board. Rev. Griggs' objection, however, did not meet the approval of the body and Dr. Jordan's election went through with an overwhelming vote. At this point some few tried to undo the election of Dr. Jordan and instead of having him as head of the foreign mission board tried to place him as head of the publishing board. This the house refused to do. The next and final business of the convention was the selection of place for the next convention. It was manifest that the race was between Muskogee, Okla., and Baltimore, Md. The latter city's appeal for the convention was made by Prof. Winston, while that for the Oklahoma city was voiced by the Rev. Arlington Wilson. Both speakers after setting forth the inducements offered by their respective cities, were vigorously applauded. It seemed as if several votes would be had but on the first ballot Muskogee had a large majority and was awarded the meeting. Among the most interesting features of the convention was the unveiling last Saturday afternoon of the monument, erected in front of the First Bryan Baptist church to the Rev. George Lisle. The monument was dedicated to Rev. Lisle in recognition of his services as the first Negro missionary to leave this country. He left this country in 1857, going to Jamaica where he served as a gospel preacher for many years. Bryan street was closed to traffic from 3 to 6 p.m. for the exercises and a minmoth crowd was in attendance upon the services. The delegates formed at the at the First African Baptist church several blocks away, and marched to the church. After scripture lesson read by Rev. Griffin of Tampa, Fla., short speeches were made by different members of the unveiling committee. The local committee was introduced and President R. B. Wright asked to speak. The monument was presented by Prof. J. W. Hubert. Rev. L. C. Jordan, secretary of foreign missions, then highly commended the local committee for its untriring work. The principal address of the afternoon was made by the Rev. Walter H, Brooks of Washington, D. C. The ladies of the F. B. B, church tendered the monument committee and prominent visitors present a banquet at the termination of the exercises. Without exception the visitors were loud in their praise of the manner in which they were treated while here. They were accorded every courtesy possible and were amply provided for in every respect. Some of the best homes were opened to them and they were all given good accommodation. The visitors began leaving Monday afternoon and at midnight four special trains conveyed the remalder to their homes. Before leaving, several of the delegates were approached and a statement of their treatment here and the accommodation provided them was secured by a representative of The Tribune. This was done on account of a statement which appeared last week in the Afro-American, Baltimore, Md., to the effect that Savannah was not large enough to accommodate the convention. Among the prominent mislitters signing the statement which discredits the Baltimore paper's reflection on Savannah are four of Baltimore's prominent divines, the Rev. W. J. Winston, Rev. J. H. Taylor, Rev. J. W. Jones and Rev. P. C. Neal. The statement signed by the twenty-five odd prominent preachers and ladies, with their signatures following is as follows: "The thirty-sixth annual session of the National Baptist convention which adjourned here today, was one of the best and most beneficial in the history of the body. The sessions were all very interesting and the meetings largely attended. The city of Savannah afforded the convention every courtesy possible. The city authorities, the street railway employees, the police department and the white Baptists have contributed greatly toward the success and pleasure of our stay here. The housing of the thousands of delegates was easily and admirably taken care of and the colored citizens, irrespective of denomination, have done everything in their power to make the convention the great success it has been. The First African Baptist church, the edifice in which the convention was held, proved in every respect fully large enough to house the LADIES TO PLAY BALL MONDAY AT BASEBALL PARK FOR Y. M. C. A. BUILDING FUND A. Very Large and Enthusiastle Crowd Looked For What promises to be the most unique if not in fact the stella outdoor attraction of the year, staged by our local people, will be the big benefit baseball game to be played on Monday afternoon, September 18th, at the Baseball park by two teams composed entirely of females, for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A. Building Fund. Interest in the coming event is not only running high among the members of the contending teams but among the people as well. This is due not only to the cause, a nobler one could hardly be represented, to which the coming attraction will give publicity and financial aid, but to the general knowledge among the people that the observance of two teams of female ball players properly garbed is no everyday sight to behold. The boys, rather the girls, who will give exhibition of the national sport on the afternoon of September 18th, have been going thru strenuous practices and it is a safe statement to make that the batting and fielding average of such celebrities as Ty Cobb, Tis Speaker, Hal Chase, Hans Wagner and the like will suffer much in comparison with those that will be made by the girls on the afternoon of September 18. Tickets for this unique entertainment have been on the streets for the past week and indications point to a mammoth crowd. It is believed that all classes of Savannah's citizenry will be there to pull for their favorites. The following is the line up: Y. M. C. A. Auxiliary; Miss Elise Roberts, pitch; Miss Mozella Hadley catch; Miss Alma Tyson, 1st base; Miss Janie B. Daniels, 2nd base; Miss Annie Wright, 3rd base; Miss Bessie Durden, R. S.

The convention leaves Savannah with highest words of praise for the manner in-which it was treated, and every delegate will long remember the liberal hospitality shown them here and the many courtesies which the broad-hearted Savannahians have proffered them in their homes."

MAJOR MOTON ENTERTAINED WAS THE GUEST AT TWO BANQUETS LAST WEEK Hamptonites Met Him at Eureka Club and Citizens at Home Boys. Major R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, who was in the city on Friday of last week to lecture before the National Baptist convention, was tendered a very pleasant meeting that evening from 6 to 7:30 o'clock at the rooms of the Eureka club by the Hampton students and after the lecture was given a banquet by the business and professional men at the Savannah Home Association. The meeting with the Hampton students was a very enjoyable affair, the distinguished guest renewing his acquaintance with the students whom he met while commandant at the famous Virginia school, prior to his election as principal of Tuskegee Institute. Major Moton spoke to the students in his characteristic way, emphasizing the necessity of preparedness. He also took occasion to tell of the excellent work done by the Hampton and Tuskegee students wherever they are found Mr. Robert Gibson, one of the local Hampton alumni, gave a short account of the work of Hampton students here, immediately after which refreshments were served by several of the students while others further enlivened the occasion with Hampton glee and college songs. Accompanying Major Moton were Prof. R. B. Hudson, secretary of the Baptist convention; Major Ramsey and Major Blanton. A few remarks were made by these gentlemen. The banquet at the Savannah Home Association at ten o'clock was attended by about a hundred of the leading business and professional men. President Ed. H. Burke, of the Savannah Home Association, was the first speaker on the program. He was followed Professor S. A. Grant of the Georgia State College, and the Rev. J. L. Taylor, rector of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church. Major Moton was the next and final speaker. He told of his delight in being in Savannah and stressed the necessity of unity along all lines. During the talks a very appetizing supper was served by the members of the Savannah Home Association. Among the prominent out of town visitors present were Rev. E. C. Morris, Arkansas, president of the National Baptist Convention; Rev. W. G. Parks, vice-president; Prof R. B. Hudson, Selma, Ala.; secretary Baptist Convention; Rev. T. J. Searcy, Memphis, Tenn.; Rev. A. J. Stokes, Alabama; Rev. L. G. Jordan, secretary foreign missions, Baptist convention; John Hope, president Morehouse College, Atlanta; R. T. Pollard, president Selma University, Selma, Ala.; Chas. Stewart Chicago, Ill.; S. N. Yass, Raleigh, N. C.; Rev. J. B. Green, Pensacola, Fla.; and Dr. Stephens, Darien, Ga. PLAYGROUND PROVES TO BE QUITE A SUCCESS Like the proverbial duck to water, the children of the city have flocked to the eastside playground, lately established by the Urban League. Miss Helen Lee, director of the grounds, is now dividing the girls into groups, by ages, for the purpose of learning folk plays. Miss Helen Lee has lately been in touch with one of the foremost lady teachers of the white playground and will inaugurate some very interesting plays among her own charges. Many grown-ups have visited the grounds. Some very prominent female visitors including Miss S. Willie Layton of Philadelphia, Pa., visited the grounds. Many spoke commendably of the effort. Parents are urged to send their children promptly so as to arrive at the grounds about five o'clock and to expect their return about seven. One of the striking features of the work has been the pride of the youngsters themselves. They have not failed to come out neatly attired and they are generally well behaved. The expense attached to the work is great and it is hoped that the various public spirited citizens will be willing to contribute towards providing other requirements. Dr. C. B. Tyson has donated a net which will be used for volleyball. Parents as well as children are urged to come out. The league is still looking for a suitable site on the west side for the children of that section. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100.

Baptists Would Accept Methodist Challenge PRESIDENT REDDICK UNWILLING TO ACKNOWLEDGE SUPERIO- ORITY OF METHODISTS Great Financial Campaign Promised By Defy of Methodists President M. W. Reddick, of the General Missionary Baptist Convention of this state, accepts in the following open letter the challenge of Bishop R. S. Williams, of the Colored Methodist Episcopal church, in which the latter promises to raise more money for missionary and educational purpose. han the host of Baptist of the state Bishop Williams is one of the best financiers in the C. M. E. Church and regardless of the fact that the number of communicants in his church is many times smaller than that of the Baptists, a good, stiff financial battle is looked for if the contest materializes. The letter of President Reddick is as follows: "At the close of my last letter I promised to call attention to some the leading Negro Baptist preachers and laymen of Georgia. It was my purpose then to give the general public an introduction to these men. While it is still my purpose to do this, a condition has arisen that necessitates my deferring the proposed introduction to a later date. Good Bishop R. S. Williams of the Colored Methodist church, in his "Last and Final Call" to his Goergia preachers, stated that the president of the Baptist convention is appealing to his men to raise more money for mission and education than the ministers of the C. M. E. church. He further promised to make the Baptist preachers of Georgia "see men walking as trees" and thereupon makes a strong appeal to his men to teach the Baptist of Georgia a lesson in money raising at his convention in Macon. "The president regards this expression of the good Bishop as a challenge to the Baptist. He is inclined to accept that Bishop Williams is probably the greatest financier of his church. We regret that this challenge did not come earlier so that we might have accepted it earlier and thus give the Bishop more time in which to rally his men; for his convocation will have been held ere this announcement of his challenge reaches the general public. But we are willing, in order that he may have a fair showing, to allow him to count all money which he may raise in his church in the state for the purposes above named up to November 17th which closes the sessions of the Geeral Missionary Bapt. Convention of Georgia which meets in the city of Augusta, the home of Bishop Williams. Baptists of Georgia, what shall we do about this challenge? It has been published to the world through the "Christian Index", the national paper of the C. M. E. Church. Shall we allow Bishop Williams with one district of the C. M. E. church to raise more money than all of the Baptists in Georgia when there are more Baptists in the state than there are members of the C. M. E. church in the world? If we shall we ought to hang our heads in shame and publicly acknowledge PAGE TWO the superiority of the Methodist preachers. Are you willing to do it? Personally I am not willing to make such acknowledgement nor do I believe the men of Georgia are willing. With such men as Carter, Williams, Bryant, Young, Ailor, Paschal, Johnson, Jackson, and Brown of Atlanta; Walker, Johnson, Williams, Pinkney, Nabrit, Whitehead, Garrison and Dwelly of Augusta; Gray, Wright, Davis, Goodall, Reid and Whitmire of Savannah; Forbes, Evans, Ballou, Wright, Borders, Williams and Lattimore of Macon; Smith, Miller, Paschal and Hutchins of Columbus; Gadson and Ferrell of Rome; Johnson, Horton, Brown and Robinson of Athens; Ponder, Rogers, Williamson of Waychoss; Bryant, Johnson, Taylor, Starling, Lomax of Valdosta; Broadnax, Howard, Martin of Thomasville; Williams, Fiveash, Coleman, Jones Ponder of Bainbridge Simpkins, Jenkins, Kennedy Satterwhite, Thomas, Mooley and Perry of Albany; Staley, Cartright, Davis Hobbs, Green of Americus; Morris, Williams, Paul Hill, and Pearce of Cordele; Moore, Bryant, Mack and Wadley of Griffin not to mention Anderson, Smith and Thomas of Newnan; James and Wilder of Marrietta; Smith of Crawford, Gore of West Point, Hardy of Washington, Allen and Ballon, West and Ellis of Cuthbert, Clark and Battle of Dawson, Crouch, Hunter and McCoy of Moultry, and with Crawford, Murden, Cannon, Jackson, Bryant and Mathis as field representatives, and hundreds of others within the state who are just as loyal, just as large, and just as willing to work as those whose names I have mentioned, we ought to raise double the good Bishop. "There is no doubt that the world will see Georgia Baptists in a different light and will place a far greater value upon them as effective workers after our meeting in Augusta next November. "Come brethren, it is up to you, tell the public whether we shall accept this challenge and prove our worth at Augusta or whether we shall take cold feet and acknowledge the superiority of our Methodist brethren." NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE WEEKLY LETTER (By J. C. Lindsay) There is no better place for Negroes with a little capital and are willing to work than Savannah, Ga. The field for Negro enterprises, is practically unexplored. In one or two of our previous letters, we have called attention to the necessity of a few men with a little ready cash in hand combining their means and beginning on a small scale a furniture store. There are young men all over this Southland who have both the education and training for the successful handling of a business of this kind. The only thing needed is financial backing. Every small enterprise managed by the honest and trained young men of the race in this community, is doing well. The young men who are operating shoe shops, pressing clubs, tallor shops and other small enterprises, are getting everything out of these small enterprises that they put into them. The young man who puts a little money and a large amount of brains and activity into his enterprise, THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE in the end, will get from that same business, dollars, and what is more, will gain some needed experience which will enable him to attain to higher heights in this busy world of commercialism. One of the many enterprises which the young men have launched in this community i n the last two years, is the Savannah Coal and Fuel company, near the corner of Waldburg street and Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. This enterprise is owned operated and controlled by three young men who have learned that the Negro in this community, like people of all other races, must have fuel to cook with, as well as for heating purposes. These young men, Messrs, F. D. and W. P. Tucker, and Prof. S. A. Grant, should be encouraged by the thoughtful members of the race for their nerve, pluck and grit. These young men have gone out into this commercial world of the twentieth century competition and say to those of us who need and must have what they keep on hand to sell, such as wood, coal, charcoal and the like, "all we ask of you is to give us a trial." Our people must be trained in business of every kind. We can never come into our own until we, as a race are found in every line of business carried on by the other fellow. The successful handling of any business very largely depends upon the amount of experience had by those who are conducting it: This is why we contend and talk so loud and long for the Negro to avail himself of every possible opportunity to get into some line of business, stick to it and make it go in spite of every opposition, real or imaginary. In proportion as the Negro makes good in a certain line, in the same proportion does he make it easier for his fellowmen who may have nerve enough to attempt to follow the business example set by him. These young men and women in this community, like young people in every other community where and appreciable numbers of us live, have been given quite a deal of theory which is usually taught in our various schools, everywhere; but the thing that they need and must have before they can be regarded as business factors in their several communities is an opportunity to put some of their theory into practical use. Then the question naturally arises, how are they to do it unless the men and women who know how, open up the way for them? This is exactly where the Negro Business League comes in. This is where it shines. These young people must be helped and encouraged by the men among us with money and jobs at their disposal. Lest you forget, we take this opportunity to remind the members of the Negro Business League that tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, we are to worship with the Rev. R. H. Singleton, and his congregation, of St. Philip A. M. E. church, corner West Broad and Charles streets. Rev. Singleton is a member of the Local Negro Business League and attends its meetings regularly when in the city and we should be on hand to assist and encourage him in his racial uplift work as a minister in this community. Come early to your next meeting at the headquarters, Wednesday evening, October 4th, and bring a friend with you and join in the discussion of a real live business subject. Will Become Champion of the World as Soon as the Opportunity Presents Itself New York—K. O. Lou Williams, the welterweight thunderbolt from Savannah, Ga., made good use of his first opportunity to show his wares in Harlem on Friday evening, (Sept 1,) at the Harlem Sporting Club by soundly whipping K. O. Jaffe, the much talked of white middleweight. Though conceding his white opponent the advantage of twelve pounds in weight, Manager Ferribee's knockout king treated this as just a trivial incident to the whipping of his man. Williams started hostilities by smashing Jaffe with a straight right to the face. The white boy, counting on his great advantage in weight immediately started to rush matters. He never tried that stunt again, for Williams met his rush with a short left to the face and a fierce right planted directly under the heart, which came near putting an end to the fight. After that Jaffe danced and kept as far away from the colored boy as possible. Three times during the contest. Williams had his opponent in a bad plight but failed on each occasion to let loose a wallop hard enough to induce Jaffe to take a peaceful nap.—New York Age.

AMONG THE MASONS I e inivicititieiein ieee i The Charitable View 1 The average man is charitable in his jurgement of himself. He is willing . to forgive mistakes, and to hide them if possible from the world. He tries to put his best foot forward, and make a brave show of wisdom aid virtue. He sees no benefit in magnifying hts personal defects or exposing his weak- ness ta the cold, gray eye of his neigh- bor. He is optimistic regarding his own character, and has a very com- fortable faith in himself, even though ‘@ppearance may be against him. Such is human nature. ‘The trait has its advantages, as It induces us to put our best foot foremost, to emphasize the good and minimize the bad in us, to look over on the bright side. If the optimistic and charitable-view were applied to our nelghbors in the same spirit that we apply it to our- selves, what an uplift it would have on society in genéral. If we always gare our neighbor the benefit of the, if we attributed good motives to his actions, there would be an end of back- biting. and critism, of suspicion and innuendo, And with these base and unworthy charactic eliminated, life would be worth living for a great many unfortunate: who are misunderstood and misjudged. The censorious spirit is responsible for a great deal of unnecessary misery in the world. It is all too common in Masonry, notwithstanding the noble principles inecnlcated by our institu- tion. It should be supplanted by the charitable view—the Masonic - view. ‘The time to adopt the charitable view is the present. Try it. and see if it doesn't make you better and — your world better.—Ma-dnie Standard. . An Ant Conmnxrison aAs the master of the lodge ordered the chars passed, he rose and said: “Men are like cisurs, Often you cannot’ tell by the wrapper what the filler is. Sometimes a seod old stozie 48 more popular than an imported celebrity. Somemen are all right in the <ldw ease, on display, but are great disappointments when you cet them home. No matter how fine 2 man is, eventually he meets his match. Ywodr often puts on as many airs as a fifty-center. Some men never xet to the front at all-evcept during cam- paigns. Some are very faney outside and are selected for presents. Others have a rough exterior. but spread cheer and comfort about them because of what is inside. But all men, as all cigars, good er bad, two-fers. stogiex, rich poor, come to ashes at last.” eee AS masons we Should endeavor ta cultivate a disposition that would be agreeable to all mankind. In other ae we should instill into our daily pHfe the true teachings of Masonry so that the profane world can see that there is true merlt in Masonry. When we do this we will have more seekers after mystic rites.—The Masonic News. eee Freemasonry, the noblest of all in- stitutions, was not founded from a business advertisement. It was not intended to shield the guilty, foster or abet crime. But its great m{ssion in the world fs to mantle man ‘with manliness, and thus so far as human endeavor can, make of him a perfect man in the sight of the true, God.— Corner Stone. ‘eee Your friend Is the man who knows all about you and still Mkes you— -Phitistine. - se © Never Be in 2 Hurry One of the great evils exiéting In the city lodges today is being in a hurry to admit and “rush” candidates through the degrees. Men usually val- ue highest those things that are not easily obtained. We should say to those who seek our privileges: “If you measure up to our standards, and if your coming among us will not disturb the harmony already existing among our members, then in our own way, and in our own‘time, we will admit you to participate in eur labors.” ‘This attitude of independence will give the fraternity niord strength and sta- bility than if we yielded to every re quest made for admission or advance- ment.—The Masenie Sun. | see The question might be asked, “What does the O.

FAIRBANKS Of Indiana Saturday September 16th, 1916 "As Maine goes, so goes the Union." This is a week of jubilee with the Republicans of the country. It is only a foretaste of what will be brought forth in November. Another significant event showing the trend of the voters, is the comparison of the votes for the Republican and Democratic parties in Illinois. The nominees of these parties are Frank O. Lowden and E. F. Dunne, respectively. In the primary the Republican nominee received 663,183 votes while the Democratic nominee received only 230,882 votes, thus showing that 422,301 more Republicans voted than did the Democrats. This vote proves that Illinois is safely Republican. --- On account or the large number of our people invading the north in search of work, several issues ago we called attention to the necessity of doing useful work among them. The Philadelphia Tribune gives this interesting account of a helpful meeting held there recently. "Sunday Dr. W. A. Credit organized the second conference of the fellowship movement among the track employees of the Pennsylvania Railroad. "The organization of the first conference had such wonderful effect on the men that the workers in the Paoll Division made a request that Dr. Creditt be sent to organize their conference "There are upwards of a hundred men in the new fellowship conference, and they received Dr. Creditt, the supervisor of the Main Line Division and a quartette from the Downtown School enthusiastically "Dr. Creditt spoke briefly on religion, and gave some sound advice in regards to health and thrift. He urged the men to save their money, and do their work well. Several of the men thanked Dr. Creditt, the supervisor and the boys, in short talks at the end of the services. "Mr. Scrimmel the supervisor in a short address, urged the men to bring their families from the South and to settle here. He said the Pennsylvania Railroad not only wanted the men, but they wanted the men to bring their families to this state and become permanent helpers of the Pennsylvania system. The largest plurality received by a governor in Maine in ten years was 8,753 in 1910. The governor-elect received on last Monday a plurality of more than 11,000 votes, and yet some Democrats are high-bound or short-sighter to concede Republican success. Champ Clark. Democratic speaker of the House, was the only one of note in that primary to admit defeat in Maine. The Herald said of him? "We got beaten good and plenty" is Speaker Champ Clark's comment on the Maine election. Unlike some others, when Missourians are properly "shown" they have no difficulty in seeing. Senator Hoké Smith simply wired from Washington, that he was against Governor-elect Dorsey and would vote against him. He thought that all Georgia would follow in his wake, but the Senator has lost his hold on the voters. Mr. Dorsey holds the key to the situation and will control the state machine. This may mean that the Senator may have a fight to retain his seat at the expiration of his term. We were somewhat surprised to read in the Baltimore Afro-American of last week a report of the Baptist convention which adjourned here Monday afternoon, that the convention was too large for our city and that accommodations could not be secured by the the visitors and delegates. We must confess that it came as a shock to us, for we who were right here on the scene, and who were fairly conversant with conditions, were of the opinion that the local convention committee on homes had secured ample accommodation for the thousands of visitors. We were still of this mind when we read the article but for fear we were mistaken we investigated the matter and found that we were correct and that instead of a lack of accommodation there were enough homes on the committee's roster to take care of about a thousand more visitors. There was but one, single instance where accommodation proved inadequate and that was on occasion of President Morris' address Thursday morning when the mammoth crowd had to be addressed by Dr. Morris from the church steps. This news item in the Afro-American was a reflection on Savannah and was incorrect as the statement in another part of The Tribune signed by twenty-four of the distinguished visitors proves. Perhaps the energetic reporter in his desire to have the next convention go to a larger city, say Baltimore, and feeling that the appearance of this statement in his paper would have some effect in influencing the body to go there, thought he had struck upon a capital news item and therefore sent it in to his paper. However, it didn't work as he had planned it and the convention has been given to another city, one, by the way, much smaller than Baltimore. Savannahians treated the convention royally, both white and colored, and if there was any one of the visitors displeased or who was not given proper accommodation we failed to find him or to hear about his registering a kick. Even some of the Baltimoreans, to whom we showed the article, took it for a joke and said that it was untrue. We would advise that the reporter who sent in such an erroneous statement, at least try hereafter to ascertain the facts of things before he gives them to his paper. While we are interested in the whole of City Health Officer Brunner's report, recently submitted, yet we are especially concerned about the high death rate among our people. We feel that Dr. Brunner is very much interested in the health of the whole people of the city and his suggestion that a commission be appointed to look into the sanitary and moral condition which surround our people shows conclusively that we are correct. Living conditions which surround us will bear much improvement and we are pleased to see the health officer bring them to the attention of the proper authorities. The death rate of our people is shocking and needs immediate attention. We need all the safe guards that the whites have. We need good, wholesome, environments in which to live, we need the passage of an ordinance which will prevent the erection of houses for our use which are not fit for cattle to live in. There is no one who is better conversant with our living conditions than Dr. Brunner and we feel that in him we have a health officer who will do everything in his power to lower the appalling death rate among us. It is indeed shocking to know that there were four times as many Negroes as whites to die here from tuberculosis during the year and that for the same length of time three Negroes to one white person succumbed to pneumonia. PARTY LEADERS ARE IN LINE BACK MR. WILCOX Support National Chairman Against Attacks of Old Guard Malcontents Republican leaders in control of the party's national organization have determined to stand squarely behind William R. Wilcox, chairman of the National Committee, and support him through the campaign. This was stated yesterday by leaders representing the majority faction. Members of the "Old Guard," who were displeased with the nomination of Charles E. Hughes, and later with the selection of Mr. Wilcox to pilot the campaign, have been doing all in their power to make trouble, it is stated. W. Murray Crane, Senator Boles Penrose, William Barnes and others of the "Old Guard," are said to have been opposed to Mr. Wilcox's scheme of managing the campaign. It is reported that Mr. Crane and others have made known their objections to Mr. Hughes. Theodore Roosevelt is understood to have given his endorsement to the proposal to support firmly Mr. Wilcox against "Old Guard" attacks. George W. Perkins, progressive leader! Frank H. Hitchcock, Herbert Parsons, Goy- ernor Whitman, and the leaders classed as original "Hughes men" throughout the country, have indicated that they are prepared to support Mr. Wilcox against the "Old Guard" attack. "It is customary to have misapprehensions, undue nervousness and misunderstanding in the early stages of a campaign," Mr. Hitchcock said. "The result usually is is that some one is accused of all kinds of sins of omission and commission which have no basis in fact. "Mr. Wilcox is running the campaign all right, never fear. Before long there will be no vestige of the nervousness now felt in certain quarters." "TORO" COLLEGE MANAGERS IN THE CITY Conducted School of Instruction Last Monday President Malone and Secretary Treasurer Mrs. Pope Turnbo Malone of the "Poro" College, St. Louis, Mo. with several others connected with the famous hair culture school, were in the city for a few days last week and left Tuesday for the north. On Monday afternoon Mrs. Malone conducted a school of instruction for the many representatives of college who reside in this part of the state. There were about twenty-five present. The school was conducted at St. Paul C. M. L. Church. "Poro" College is probably the largest school of its kind conducted by Negroes and is one of the biggest Negro enterprises in St. Louis. President Malone has been working in the west very largely and now he is turning his attention to the extension of trade in this section of the country. The "Poro" system of hair treatment is widely known throughout the country. Both Mr. and Mrs. Malone and the secretary, Miss Maudelle McMurry, were delighted with Savannah and spent much of their time taking in the many beautiful driveways here. CENTRAL PARK N. I. INSTITUTE OPENED SEPT. 13TH The Central Park Normal and Industrial Institute opened its third term on Wednesday morning, perhaps the best in the history of the school prayer was offered by Rev. J. C.

Described as one of the most thrilling detective stories ever written, "The Maelstrom." by Frank Froest, once chief of Scotland Yard, the famous detective division of the London police, is now running in the New York Sunday World. Its opening chapters give indication of the truth of the promises made for this remarkable story. Every one should read it who likes a good story, and mostly every one does. Be sure you get the New York World every Sunday to complete the serial. Place your order early with your local newsdealer. AT THE'Y. M. C. A. Those who were present on last Sunday listened to a program replete with many interesting parts. The meeting was under the auspices of the ladies' auxiliary. Mrs. M. E. Harper, president. The special address was delivered by Mrs. P. James Bryant of Atlanta, who spoke on the important subject of social service work. Dr. Butler of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Mrs. Bruce of Tuskegee were also present and added interest to the meeting by their kindly remarks. The vocal selections by Miss Georgia Hurd. Miss Mae Stewart and Mrs. Craig of Atlanta, elicited much applause. On tomorrow an interesting program is planned. In addition to the song service which is proving more and more interesting each Sunday, there will be a special address by Prof. L. B. Thompson of the Ga. State College. Prof. Thompson having just returned from an extensive trip thru New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut and other states, will speak on the labor problem in the north especially as it affects our people who are migrating in such large numbers to northern cities. The meeting will begin promptly at 5 p. m. 1 Let Your Money Work for You YOU WORKED FOR IT so now let it do its share by earning something for you. It isn't fair that the labor should be all on your side. Idle money like an idle man is useless. Both are only of use when they are kept busy. Your money will work for you as soon as it is deposited in the bank. And once started it will work twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week and every week in the year, without rest, vacation or holiday. The sooner you start to save the quicker your cash will earn enough to do without working and to take your ease and comfort. PHONE 1198 LOCALS AND PERSONALS Rev. W. H.

Has not Paris sanctioned them and put forth some of her best efforts in the fashioning of new versions of them for the coming season? No, it is not only the economical woman with an eye to making over her last winter's dress who looks with approval on this style. To be sure, she may take advantage of it, for this fashion holds great possibilities for her; but, needless to say, it was not originally planned for her. © MCCALL One-Piece Frock of Cloth and Satin Combinations of materials are used in dresses of widely different character; quite as often in the one-piece frock for street as in the dress required for more formal wear. Of the first type is the smart dress of cloth and satin illustrated here. There is a suggestion of the military influence in this dress, too, which accounts, for a part of its charm, as things military are still a source of inspiration to fashion designers. Perhaps it is the orderly row of buttons placed straight down the front, perhaps it is the four pockets with rounded laps, or yet it may be the shoulder cape, or all of these together, that gives the solldiely tinge to this dress. One can readily imagine the design developed in satin and serge, velvet and cloth, velvet and satin, or any one of these materials in two tones. A light and a dark shade of gray silk have been used very successfully by Parisian designers in such a dress as this. They have even combined two different colors such as tan and brown, dark green and gray, and mahogany and gray. But the amateur should beware of combining two colors unless they are in perfect harmony, for the result may be vastly different from what the hands of an experienced O MCCALL Wool Embroidery Is a Fashionable Trimming combiner would produce. In dresses of formal wear, one sees other combinations. A white Georgette crepe blouse in Russian style was combined with a black satin skirt and the blouse was edged with a wide band of bleck satin. There was a shoulder cape of, white Georgette edged with fur, which trimming also finished the long sleeved. Another dress seen had a blouse of Copenhagen blue chiffon, also in Russian style, worn over a skirt of blue velvet the same shade. Fur edged the blouse: Another detail of fashion which is making a strong appeal to the well-dressed woman is the use of colored embroidery as a dress trimming. An example is shown on the illustration here of a one-piece dress with cartridge belt. Many of these dresses are seen in dark blue or black serge or satin with gray wool embroidery. In some, the hem of the skirt is further decorated with a wool fringe matching the embroidery and hanging from the lower edge. Other embroidery designs are carried out in the Bulgarian colors in wool or silk, or in steel thread and also in gold thread. The two latter are especially effective on dark green, navy blue or black. Fancy Handbags A fashionable woman does not consider her costume complete to-day without a dalyty fancy handbag, which she dangles from a long ribbon or cord. Sometimes it takes the form of the old-fashioned reticule grandmother used to wear hanging from her belt. In this instance the bag is almost always made from the same material as the dress. But there are numerous other forms and shapes of this important accessory, which, if it does not exactly match the costume should, in any event, harmonize with it. Some very attractive ones are of black velvet with steal heads or of moire with colored heads, and some fluffy little creations are entirely of ruffles of ribbon. In crochet bags there is quite an attractive new style worked in various bright colors forming solid rows that go round and round. The bags are round, and longer than they are wide. The top is drawn together with a cord running through rings, and the bottom is finished with a long tassel. In velvet and slik bags there are a number of odd, irregular shapes as well as oval and round ones. .

I conversion of conversion of shall appear Text of the Lesson, Acts xxii, 17-29. Memory Verses, 27-29—Golden Text, Pa. xci, 2—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. This chapter is the record of Paul's account of himself and his conversion given to the people from the castle staira. The chief captain, having given him permission to speak after he found out that he was not the leader of a band of murderers, he stood on the stairs, and, beckoning with his hand till there was a great silence, he spake unto the people in the Hebrew language, and, hearing him speak in their own language, they kept the more silence (xxl, 40; xxil, 1, 2). It was the Jews from Asia who started this riot, and the fact that the Lord had spoken to him from heaven at the time of his conversion in the Hebrew language may have led him thus to decide at this time (xxl, 27; xxvi, 14). *When the Spirit records an event on a bit of history several times He must have some special reason for so doing and desire that we give special attention to it. Note the threefold repetition of Paul's story in chapters ix, xxll and xxvl and partially in Phil, iii and I Tim, i and compare the three times repeated, record of Hezekiah and Sennacherib in Kings, Chronicles and Isaiah and other repeated records. I have no doubt that the conversion of Saul was typical of the conversion of all Israel, when our Lord shall appear to them in His glory, and on that event hangs the conversion of all nations through Israel. The miraculous deliverance of Hezekiah and his people from the army of the Assyrians by an angel from heaven is suggestive of the future deliverance of Israel from all nations at the second coming of Christ. Paul acknowledged that he had been a great persecutor of the followers of Jesus Christ, with the consent and indorsement of the high priest and the elders, and that with letters from them he was on his way to Damascus to bring those of that way bound to Jerusalem to be punished when this great event happened to him, and his whole life was changed (verses 3-5). He was full of the spirit of persecution until he had nearly reached Damascus, when suddenly a great light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun at noonday (for it was about noon), shone upon him and caused him to fall to the ground, and he heard a voice saying to him in Hebrew, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?" The repetition of the name was unusual, being used in the Old Testament only of Abraham, Jaeob, Moses and Samuel (Gen. xxll, 11; xvl, 2; Ex. ill, 4; I Sam. iii, 10), and I have wondered if it caused Saul to think of the God of Israel as revealed to these men. To Saul's question, "Who art thon, Lord?" the reply came promptly, "I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecuest" (verses 6-8). What a thrilling reply, what an eye opener, Jesus Christ really alive from the dead, and all that He said He was, and His followers believed Him to be! Then the persecuted ones were right, and Saul was all wrong. Quickly came the heart cry, "What shall I do, Lord?" And being told to go into Damascus and there he would be further instructed, he, having become blind by the great light, was led by the hand of them that were with him into Damascus (verses 9-11). Many in the city were fearing the arrival of this persecutor and no doubt praying to be delivered from his cruel hands. Perhaps some prayed for his conversion, even though he seemed such a hopeless one to pray for. Now, see what God had wrought, and let all who are praying for the salvation of others who are laid on their hearts be of good courage, for when God's clock strikes the hour the thing shall be done—not in your way perhaps, but in His own time and way. FOR CAL LIVINGST EVERY TUESDAY W AND SATUR YOU CAN MAKE 1c GO He will see to it (Ps. cxliv, 19). Ever since I wrote on this lesson last, some six or seven years ago, the words of verse 11 have been much with me. "I could not see for the glory of that light." Paul was three days without sight and, did neither eat nor drink (chapter 1x, 9), but for all the rest of his life he was blind to all but the face of Jesus and deaf to every voice but His, just as Jesus Himself was blind and deaf to all but His Father's face and voice (Isa. xlii, 19). Did you ever pray to be thus blind and deaf? At the hands of Ananias, one of the devout brethren at Damascus, Saul received sight, was baptized and heard his commission, as a chosen vessel of God, to see Jesus, know His will, hear His voice and be His witness to all men of what he had seen and heard (verses 12-16). Straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God (chapter 1x, 20). The incident of verses 17-21 concerning the trance and vision at Jerusalem in the temple tells us that Saul never forgot the day when he kept the raliment of them that stoned Stephen. Who can tell how many incidents lead up to and have part in the conversion of a soul? The multitude listened until Paul spoke of being sent unto the gentiles, and then the uproar became so great that the captain had him brought into the castle and would have scourged him to find out what it was all about, but Paul was saved from this as a Roman citizen.

STATE STREET Phone 3423 Principal of Tuskegee Institute, Before The National Baptist Convention For a number of years prior to his death, the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, was present and delivered an annual address before the National Baptist Convention. His presence and his sound advice were always a tower strength to this organization. This year his spirit was with the convention, and all felt his powerful personality effecting in the magnificent address delivered on Friday evening, September 8, by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, and successor to the great educator. No address delivered by Dr. Moton since his inauguration so stirred and thrilled an audience as did his powerful appeal to the Baptists of America for greater religious sincerity and race unity. He said in part: I want, first of all, to congratulate the real leaders of the Negro race in America, the Gospel ministers. Whatever may be said about the businessmen and the educators being the leaders of the Negro people, as yet the Negro leader is the Negro 'proacher. I do not need to tell you what a great opportunity you have and how great and how truly sacred is your responsibility. Few gatherings in the land have more influence on so many as is true of the friends into whose faces I look. It is quite proper that we should turn our thoughts this evening to the one who, were he living, would be occupying this platform at this hour. He would, in epigrammatic sentences and phrases and with an earnestness and sincerity and with an enthusiasm born of conviction, encourage and inspire this magnificent gathering of Christian workers as only he could. Let us therefore think together for a while on some of the lessons that our great leader and teacher would emphasize. First: he would seek no doubt, to deepen our own faith in and heighten our respect for the Negro race. He would want to strengthen our faith and belief, also, in the white race by whose side we live, whose language and custom we seek to copy, whose highest ideals and aspirations we admire and are striving as never before to follow. He would want to deepen our faith and belief in all humanity, whether found on a white brown or black skin. I am very sure that he would desire that we should have greater and more genuinely abiding faith in the religion of Jesus Christ. He would seek further to strengthen our faith in God. Few men in all the world's history have lived out and worked out more fully and completely these three fundamental elements in their daily life than he did. Dr. Washington's own life was in a very real sense the embodiment of the ideal and the ideals which are so necessary in the life of our people or in the life of all peoples. He was truly a man of faith and vision. His name might justly and everently too, be added to the roll of honor which St. Paul gives us in the 11th chapter of Hebrews. By faith he struggled with his kindly, though backward, jealous and suspicious race. By faith he accomplished mighty works in education and in Christian service through the kindness of the Southern white people and the generosity of Northern white people. By faith he was able to build the great Tuskegee Institute not only to serve the black race, but the white man as well; not only Alabama, but the nations of the civilized world; and finally, succeeded in bringing about a more cordial and sympathetic relation between the two races in the South, as well as between the various groups within the Negro race. There are people in this Baptist denomination and in this audience who have in a somewhat narrower sphere done a similar sort of work for their communities, and I do sincerely and earnestly congratulate you, as well as myself and educated Negroes generally, on the great opportunity we have to gain inspiration ourselves from such an unselfish life as Dr. Washington's, and to inspire others for greater and more efficient service. My friends, I am an optimist. I believe firmly in the possibilities of my own race. I believe we should more and more encourage the Negro to see and to use these tremendous advantages by which he is surrounded here in America and in the South. We have right here a chance that few races in our stage of development have—a chance to get work, to buy land, to build decent homes, and while the chance for education in many respects is still meager, that too is increasing at an encouraging rate in many places in the South, more perhaps in sentiment than in actual accomplishment, but no less real and important. We can can live under our own vine and figtree and can worship God according to the dictates of our own conscience. I do not think it is amiss either for me to call your attention to the fact that just now opportunities along industrial lines were never more favorable than today. Negroes are being called upon as never before for service along almost all lines of industrial endeavor. Aventes of industry are opening up to him that have been closed for many years and as leaders we owe it to ourselves for selfish reasons, if for no other, to see to it that these hewers of wood, drawers of water in our race, the men and women who earn their bread in the sweat of their faces, the backbone and shew of the Negro race, and of other races are encouraged and inspired, not only to secure the positions which they are now almost being pursuaded to take, but we should encourage them to hold them by loyal and faithful service, by politeness and promptness, by punctuality and industry. For when the great war in Europe is over, there will probably be flocking to this country such as we have never before known, and these white men from Southern Europe and Northern Europe and even from England and Germany will come here and take the jobs of our own race here in the South; and while the Southern white man would naturally prefer the Negro, whom they know and understand, and who knows and understand them—if we are inefficient and selfish, careless and shiftless—as many of our race are—they will be forced to accept the services of a foreign race and woe be unto the Negro when that day comes! You and I must use every opportunity also, to deepen feeling in the methods of Dr. Washington, and should strive in every way to deepen the Negro's respect for himself along with respect for other selves as well. We should encourage him to believe in his community and in the people of his community and to be loyal to the community, white even as black. Do not cut him loose from his mooring. There is hope for a man when he believes in his mother and his home and his community. There is hope for a race when it believes in its community, its city, its country, its state—when it believes in its nation. This is our country and if we do not possess as much of it as we would like, we have ourselves to blame more than anybody else. The forces of nature are and have been and always will be absolutely color blind. The wind and the waves and the heat and the steam and electricity are absolutely blind forces and see no race distinctin and draw no color line. The earth will yield as abundantly to the skill of a blackman as to a white man and the world's market cares nothing about the shade of the hand that produced the commodity—whether of cotton, corn, wheat or what not. It does insist that it shall be up to the world's requirement. A Tuskegee student threw himself in front of a rushing automobile and saved the life of an innocent white child and thereby received a Carnegie Hero medal and did not stop to think about his own life or whether the child was white or colored. It was an innocent human soul that was about to have her life crushed out. The question, my friends, in the last analysis is not whether we are Baptists or Methodists, whether rich or poor, whether white or black—the question is, we are all children of God and we should throw ourselves, as we have never before, in front of ignorance, and inefficiency; in front of criminality and in all that tends to lower, to hinder and degrade our race and our country and try and save everyone; and we, too, may be permitted to have our names recorded among those who by faith endured as seeing Him who is invisible. WEEKLY CHURCH NEWS BROTHERHOOD BANQUET The progressiveness of the members and the pastor of the Second Baptist church is the thing which is carrying the Brotherhood of that church from one success to another. Just recently organized, these men, thru the encouragement of their pastor, Rev. W. B. Davls, have had lectures, musical entertainments and instructions along industrial lines which would be appreciated by the select of any community. The basket work which is being taught by Mrs. Rebecca Taylor, a very energetic and excellent woman is indeed a very worthy and useful service that is being given to the community free of charge. In the near future the Brotherhood will give a banquet. Plans are now being worked out for same. It will be the intention of the Brotherhood to give these banquets once a year in the fall which will be the means of welcoming our members back from their vacation and cementing our forces for a vigorous winter's work. There is much delight in the anticipation of the oncoming feast. Men of other denominations and ladies of various faiths stand ready to give as- sistance and encouragement. The night-will indeed be a grand one dedicated to the memory of the Man of Gallilea. The next meeting of the Brotherhood of Second Church will be held Sunday, September 17th, 12:30 p. m. BAPTIST LAYMEN Because of the good work which is been gearried on by the Brotherhood of the Second Baptist Church, much interest has been arroused in the laymen of the First African Baptist church, Bryan Baptist Church, Beth-Eden and St. John churches also the First Baptist church, Bolton and West Broad streets. The following gentlemen met in the directors room of the Wage Earners Bank Building to discuss the possibilities of a Baptist Laymen Union in the city: Dr. P. E. Love, Dr. F. Belcher, Prof. L. B. Thompson, Prof. J. W. Hubert, Prof. Kennedy, Messrs. A. B. Singfield, N. Roberts, D. Simmons, president Savannah Mattress Co., Charlie Singleton, W. Roundfield and Dr. A. R. Ferreech. It was the general opinion among those present that there is too much inactivity among the Baptists in the city and that it is the duty of all true Baptists to work together so that Baptist interest might be promoted. Among the things which have been done at the Second Baptist church which interested the laymen of churches mentioned above are, the grand organ recital conducted by Mrs. Curtright, the lecture of Dr. Jones of Vorhees Industrial Institute and the gaining of the services of Mrs. Rebecca Taylor to teach basket making to members of the Second church. It is the intention of these gentlemen to hold a meeting on the third Sunday in this month with the hope of interesting all of the Baptist churches that one grand and glorious union might be organized. Members of all denominations are requested to be present. F. A. B. CHURCH, FRANKLIN SQ F. A. R. Church, Rev T. J. Goodall, pastor. The National Baptist convention was entertained by this church last week. Several thousand Baptist ministers were in our city. Many able and powerful addresses were made.

C., preached "Sunday at the 11 o'clock service. Dr. Evans was the speaker Sunday night. Prof. W. M. Lewis, the "singing evangelist" of St. Louis was present and sang several selections.

He is a recent graduate of Tukegee. The great educational mass meeting will be held at 4 p. m. Sunday. Come and bring your friends. F. A. B. CHURCH, BOLTON STREET We appreciate having with us last Sunday at every sergice several af the distinguished preachers from the north and east all of whom were friends of the pastor, but none of them stopped the battle between the roses which will come to an end on the fourth Sunday.

Services were well attended Sunday. In the morning Rev. M. W. Gilbert of Nashville, Tenn. preached and at night the Rev. Walter H. Brooks preached on "Sewing and Reaping."

Parker of Mobile, Ala., preached the communion sermon, Miss A. O. Anderson, also of Mobile, Ala., acted as organist.

Sister Matilda Black Sister S. E. Robinson Sister Anna Sanders, chr. MEMORIAL In effectionate memory of my devoted husband and our loving father, Mr. W. R. Fields, who departed this life, September 16, 1915. We shall sleep, but not forever, There will be a glorious dawn; We shall meet to part, no, never; On the resurrection morn. From the deepest hearts of ocean From the desert and the plain, From the valley and the mountain, Countless things shall rise again. When we see our precious loved one, That we tended with such care; Rudely taken from our bosom, How our aching hearts dispair; Round his silent grave we linger, Till the setting sun is low, Feeling all our hopes, have perished, With the one we cherished so. We shall sleep but not forever, In the lone and silent grave, Blessed be the Lord that taketh, Blessed be the Lord that gaveth, In the bright eternal city, Death can never, never come, In his own good time He'll call us, From our rest to heaven above. Wife, Mrs. W. R. Fields Children: Mr. Robt. B. Fields Miss Wilhelmina L. Fields Mrs. Florence A. Esté. Grand-child, Marie R. P. Ecte In sad but loving memory of Hattle V. Washington, our loving wife and mother, who departed this life, September 14, 1915. Just one year ago yet still it seems as if yesterday. There's no way to make sorrow light. But in noble bearing; be content; Blows given from heaven are due punishment All shipwrecks are not drowning; You see buildings made falrer from their 'ruins. So sleep on darling Some day we will all Join you where there'll Never be more parting. Robert T. Washington, Husband Children: Robt. T. Washington, Jr. Frederica Washington Isabella Washington Little Rosebud Washington Sacred to the memory of our sister and aunt, who died September 16, 1915 Sister, precious sister, thy race is run, Our hearts are sad and lone; We would not wish thee from heaven to come. For in heaven thou hast an eternal home. When on the river's brink, dear aunt, Thou didst tell us all good bye; We know that Jesus, thine elder brother, Had carried thee on high. No more thy footsteps we shall hear, No more thy form to see, But God, in his word does declare, We in the resurrection with thee shall be. Sister thy life was one of faith and trust. Thy, wisdom, wise, and sure; We'll miss thy words so kind and just, And follow thee to that heavenly shore. Servant of God well done, Rest be thy loved employ; Enter into thy Master's joy.

The treasurer's report showed the order to be in splendid condition with a large increase over the amount on hand at the last session held in Fitzgerald. Wednesday night the society met, at Bethel A. M. E. Church in a public meeting and a literary program was carried out. At the annual election of officers on Thursday afternoon Rev. B. S. Hannah was unanimously re-elected grand chief.
