The VOLUME XXXII COMMUNITYTREE GREAT SUCCESS OVER 2,000 CHILDREN MARCH TO SCENE OF FESTIVITIES 6,000 Persons Present Singing of Carols and Tremendous Crowd Make Most Thrilling Scene The community tree, under auspices of the Urban League, which was held Wednesday evening at Dixon park at the intersection of Henry and East Broad streets, was the most thrilling and enthusiastic sacred demonstration ever held in this city by Negroes. Every feature of the splendid celebration was thoroughly enjoyed by the vast crowd of six thousand odd persons gathered to witness the holding of the first community tree here by Negroes. There were persons present from every section of the city and the interested white friends present could be counted by the hundreds. The stage setting for the festivities could hardly be improved upon anywhere in the southland for every one of the beautiful Negro dwellings surrounding the park was brightly lighted, and added materially to the ocular charms of the evening. Success, however, for the affair is due to the untiring efforts of the thirty old members of the St. Cecilia Musical Club with Miss Alice Ellis as director. To the ladies of the club was assigned the difficult task of gathering the two thousand and more children at the various places of congregation, prior to their moving off to form in one mammoth procession which would terminate at the tree. Then, too, it was they who had rehearsed time and again the various Sunday school children in the beautiful carols which were so impressively sung. How well the ladies accomplished their arduous tasks, may be known from the promptness with which the parade started off and the excellent singing listened to at the park by the thousands of spectators. Headed by Middleton's famous brass band twenty strong, which contributed their services to the occasion free of charge, the first part of the parade left its gathering point in Yamacraw at 6 o'clock sharp. About 500 happy, eager, jubilant Sunday school children trailed merrily behind the blazing band up Bryan street to West Broad where they were met by another crowd of their mates who fell in and marched joyfully two by two, out West Broad to Hall where the children from the Sunday schools in the southwestern section of the city joined the procession. East on Hall street the happy band of youngsters, about 1,500 strong, with many of their Sunday school teachers and ladies of the St. Cecilia Club acting as monitors, walking by their sides, trailed gayly behind the enthusiastic music to Habersham street where the procession turned south to Gwinnett street and thence to East Broad where about 800 east side children who were anxiously awaiting them, fell in line, and the entire procession six blocks long, marched south to Dixon park and gathered within a roped enclosure around the platform upon which the members of the St. Cecilia musical club, who were to lead the carols and the musicians with other singers stood. Just as the line of march reached the entrance to the park, Mrs. Geo. S. Williams pressed the button, turning on the scores of vari-colored lights, and the beautiful tree shone out brilliantly against its background of hundreds of souls already gathered for the service. As the cheerful little marchers caught a glimpse of the beautifully illuminated tree where hundreds of white and blue electric lights, capped by a very brilliant electric star at the uppermost point in the tree, shown in deep contrast against the dark night, they were wont to burst out in loud and reverberating cheer, but instead they marched steadily on and quietly took their places around the platform while the band pealed forth in that characteristic all-inspiring music for which Middleton's band is so well noted throughout the state. The procession reached the park at seven o'clock sharp and within forty-five minutes after the opening carol the vast assemblage had been dismissed. With Miss Alice M. Ellis directing the music, the first carol, "O Come all ye Faithful," rang out loud and clear, the LADIES MADE GLAD HEARTS OF JUVENILE FARM BOYS Pretty Christmas Tree Laden With Useful Presents and Good Things Following the sumptous dinner given the boys of the Industrial Farm by the Willing and Sunshine Workers of the Urban League and Superintendent Brazzel on Christmas day, the ladies of the auxiliary of the Negro Protective Association planned to give them further pleasures the next day. Headed by that indomitable and ever zealous worker, Mrs. Geo. S. Williams, the ladies secured many useful articles for the boys along with fruits, candies, etc. The tree was beautiful and the boys all joined in hearty singing in thankfulness for what was being done for them. The exercises for the day were under the direction of Mrs. Rachel Moore, better known as "Mother Rachel", and was very commendable. In this she was assisted by Mrs. R. S. Taylor, the probation officer. Words of cheer were extended the boys by Rev. R. H. Thomas, Mrs. Geo. S. Williams, Mrs. W. G. Hill, president of the auxiliary, Mrs. Marshall, Mrs. R. R. Wright and others. Among the ladles who assisted in making the boys happy aside from those above named were Mrs. W. D. Thomas, Mrs. N. B. Seabrooks, treasurer; Miss Lula Smith, Miss M. R. Shivery, Mrs. L. B. Thompson, Mrs. A. E. Orner, Mrs. Harriet Brown and Mrs. Belle Lodd, Miss Mabel E. Stoddard of the Huatingdon Club and Mrs. Charles Ellis were interested visitors ested visitors. The interest taken in the boys by the ladies of the city is commendable and will do much in impressing them to lead better lives. BUREKA CLUB'S CELEBRATION In adherence to their usual custom the Eureka All and Athletic Club will hold the emancipation exercises at their club rooms, 517 West Broad street, Monday afternoon, January 1, 1917. The committee on program has succeeded in getting the Rev. R. V. Branch, D. D., pastor of St. Philip's A. M. E. church, West Broad street, to deliver the emancipation address. The public is cordially invited to come out and witness these exercises which promise to be the best ever had. The Eureka club is one of the most prominent clubs in the South. The program is as follows: Hymn....."Greenland's Icy Mountain" Invocation...Rev. W. O. P. Sherman, Jr. Selection...Black and Tan Orchestra Welcome Address.....Mr. T. J.

The Herald Angels Sing," "It came Upon the Midnight Clear," "O Little Town of Bethlehem," "Holy Night" and "Christ is Born" followed in the order named, the program closing with the familiar "Joy to the World" sung with that spirit and effective impressiveness which has never before been heard here. The entire assemblage joined the two thousand odd singers, led by the piano, two violins and two cornets, in the last carol, which gave a most fitting closing to this wonderful initial community Christmas tree exercise among Negroes in this city. The singing of the carols was very much helped, by the powerful lantern which threw the various carols upon a large screen to the west of the platform. The lantern was operated by Dr. W. A. Harris assisted by Messrs W. J. Stiles of the Pekln theatre and D. Sharperson. The Urban League is very grateful and extends its thanks, to the several business men and others whose untiring assistance and aid helped to facilitate the maffit details of the celebration, and without which services the affair could not have been such a pronounced success.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY DECEMBER 30TH 1916 NEARLY 2,000 PERSONS BROUGHT CHRISTMAS CHEER BY URBAN LEAGUE NEARLY 2,000 PERSONS BROUGHT CHRISTMAS CHEER BY URBAN LEAGUE POOR AND NEEDY OF CITY ADMINISTERED TO BY LEAGUE'S DISTRICT LEADERS Six Hundred Baskets and Gifts Distributed Baskets Filled and Distributed By Ladies of the League—Over $500 Raised by League's Holiday Campaign for Christmas and Permanent Charity Fund The Urban League's Christmas cheer this year was distributed to about 2,000 persons and the name of the league was sung high and low by the poor and needy in every section of the city. There was a total of 554 baskets given to the poor on last Saturday by the league and nearly a hundred special gifts such as wood, medicine and other needy articles.

The amount raised for the special holiday baskets and the gifts and also permanent charity fund amounted to $404.00. This amount was raised by popular subscriptions, the total number of contributors to the fund being approximately 500 persons, making an average donation of about .93 each. The work of searching out the poor and needy was done by the district workers of the league and the thoreness of the ladies' work may easily have been seen by a walk through the neglected districts on Christmas day where never before in this city was there observed such a general spirit of happiness and joy. Preparatory to distributing the articles to the poor, the baskets were filled by the ladies at The Tribune building, four rooms on the upper floor being used for the work. For four afternoons prior to the day of distribution, the ladies worked feverishly getting everything in readiness so that there might be as little confusion as possible in loading the 14 wagons which were used in carrying out the baskets, each district being allowed one wagon. With the assistance of Messrs. Joseph Rivers and A. W. Wright, two leaders of the Imperial Aid and Social club, Prof. J. G. Lemon and members of The Tribune force, the wagons were all loaded and started off by about 11 o'clock in the morning and by four in the afternoon word was received that every district worker had finished issuing out her parcels. The 554 baskets were very generously filled with edibles and as they were given out to the needy they brought forth an inexpressible sign of joy on the countenance of each recipient. In over half of the baskets were twelve articles while in the remainder were ten, two of the articles being insufficient to go around. The contents of the baskets consisted of rice, coffee, sugar, meal, grits flour, candy, apples, oranges, bananas, potatoes and salmon. To many families where it was found by the district workers that edibles were not needed but that there was a dire want of other things, such as medicine, clothing, or fuel, these were provided by the league. To scores of children in the forgotten sections of the city, where the only impress of the holiday season would have been made their sight and possible contact with their more fortunate little fellow playmates bountifully supplied with the beautiful playthings of Christmas, time, toys were given. In all, the Christmas donations of the league to the poor this year were the most thoroughly and systematically handled in the four years that the league has administered to the needy during the joyous yuletide season. Credit for the great success this Christmas season, as in the past, is due to the energetic and sacrificing district workers and their able assistants. Contributions to the fund were received from the following: Judge Samuel B. Adams..... 10.00 Atlanta Mutual Ins. Co..... 5.00 N. C. Acimor..... 50 Mrs. A. R. d'Antignac..... 50 W. J.

On December 27, 1860, the lodge was warranted by the M. W. Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Massachusetts as John T. Hilton Lodge, No. 13. Four years after, this lodge with Eureka No. 1 and Bannaker No. 3 of Augusta, formed the Grand Lodge of Georgia, and became No. 2. A large number joined in the celebration.

A short history of the lodge was given by the Grand Secretary. Worshipful Master Geo. O. Price, presided. Under the present administration the lodge has greatly improved. MIDNIGHT CHRISTMAS SERVICE St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, Rev. J. L. Taylor rector, held midnight Christmas services, last Sunday night. There was an organ recital from 11:30 to 12 o'clock. In addition to the Christmas service, sermon and holy communion were held, interspersed with special music by the choir. Saints day services were held Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. Each of these services were interesting. NEGRO WINS DAMAGE SUIT Memphis, Tenn, Dec. 21—Upholding the contention that "a man's home is his castle and he had a right to defend it," which Judge John E. McCall emphasized in his charge, a jury in federal court here today awarded Matthew Harris, a Negro, $22,500 compensatory and $20,000 punitive damages in his suit against John A. Reichman, former sheriff of Shebly county, and members of a sheriff's posse. Harris, who sued for $100,000, was seriously injured when his home was dynamited in an attempt to dislodge him after he fired on a posse which was searching for one of his relatives. Harris testified that he was not aware of the identity of the posse when he resisted their efforts to search his home. AT THE Y. M. C. A. An interesting program at the "Y" is planned tomorrow. The principal address will be delivered by Dr. E. W. White, pastor of St. Paul's C. M. E. church.

Mrs. Green was formerly Miss PAGE TWO Fashion Turns Her Thoughts to Misses The One-Piece Dress Peculiarly Becoming to Youth EVENINGS AND SPORTS CLOTHES New York, December 24—The time has long since past when fashion for misses were of secondary importance in the scheme of things. The fashioning of clothes for young people now receives as much attention as those of their elders, and certain French designers have, of late, been specially concentrating their efforts on producing modes for young girls and small children. Whether for schools, colleges or the various social and out door activities which enter into the lives of all young people, we find an unlimited variety of styles. At present there is a distinct relation between the styles for grown-ups and those reaching the grown-up stage. The slim silhouette, to which women have taken with so much zeal, is reflected in missed styles, and certainly there is nothing more befitting the slender grace of youthfull figure than the modes which now prevail. The One Piece Dress Recipiarly Adapt- In one-piece style are the majority of dresses, whether they are to be slipped on over the head or closed at the center-front or back. Especially becoming are these that hang from a © MCCALL One-Piece Box-Pleated Dress For Misses deep square yoke, and of these there are many varieties, for below the yoke the material may be side-pleated, box pleated with groups of large or small pleats, or just simply gathered. To define the waistline, a leather belt, a regulation cloth belt or a long, narrow girdle is considered correct with this type of frock. The belt being such an important factor, then, it is not surprising to find many novelties in that line. One of the latest is a belt which starts out by being wide in front, but finally becomes divided into two narrow strips at the side and back. The upper halves fasten to the neck and the lower halves are knotted loosely and hang down the back. Exceedingly attractive, also, are the pockets which give added charm to these dresses. Points, square, draped, gathered or plain, they appear in every conceivable form. Her Practical and Formal Dresses For practical wear, the young girl wears dresses of the popular wools, such as serge, gabardine, velours, broadcloth, checks and plaids. There is little trimming on these, frocks; perhaps a touch of bead or wool embroidery, a contrasting collar, soutache braid, or flat braid applied in rows. The large assortment of fashionable colors, including burgundy, plumb, taupe, brown and green has not ousted navy blue, which is still a favorite. For her social activities, sweet sixteen may have her choice of soft chiffon velvet, velvetten, taffeta, satin, charmeuse, silk poplin or Georgette crepe, depending on the occasion which her dress is intended. For dance frocks, tulle, silk net, chiffon and Georgette are particularly girlish, while for a very elaborate dress nothing is, more charming than the silver tissue cloths. Her slippers are of satin, to match the color of her dress, or else of silver or gold tissue. Pale or bright pink, blue, maze, apricot and white are the colors specially adapted to the youthful evening dress. Some delightful frocks are composed of layers of tulle in different harmonizing colors placed one above the other, and the merging of these colors produces a wonderfully artistic effect. If the selection of her evening frock gives a girl many thrills of pleasure—and every one knows it does—she also derives a great deal of enjoyment from her sports clothes. Sports clothes, today, are wholly charming. Such bright, gay colors as are used for them can only reflect the spirit of joy and exuberance which they embody. The enjoyment of sports is really doubled by the lovely clothes that are worn for them. The skirts of sports dresses and suits are worn very short, and the models are either plain or pleated. With bright-colored skirts are worn slip-on © MCCALL Sports Dress of Green and White Jersey Cloth middys of wool or silk jersey in a contrasting color. Hip-length coat of angora and fancy wools are also frequently seen. The accepted trimmings for winter sports is either fur or leather. Scotch plaids and checks in bright colors are very much in evidence. Some of the latest suits are dark green with fine yellow lines forming the cheeks. Others are in solid block effects in golden brown and black, and others pretty color combinations. BOYS OF INDUSTRIAL FARM NOT FORGOTTEN BY FRIENDS Eight years ago no one was interested in the boys of the blue form, now called the Industrial Farm School for Incorrigible boys, but the cimissioners of Chatham county. It is through them that many of these children are saved from starvation and exposure. The Negroes not having an institution to care for the orphans, neglected, and wayward children, the commissioners had to do something, as the children were becoming a nuisance on the streets. Therefore they were sent to the brown farm, as an experiment. It was not very long before they found out that that was not the place for them, because they came in contact with the older criminals. They decided to send them to another farm, called the "Blue" farm. After doing all they could to make conditions better, they were puzzled and wondered why the boys would be arrested shortly after being discharged. It was suggested that if they sent some one of their own race to teach them and be a mother and give them a good moral training, there would be a few saved. The commissioners were only experimenting, trying to do some good, and what are the results? They have been very fortunate in getting Mr. S. P. Brazell for superintendent, who is doing all he can to make it one of the best institutions in the state. He is positive, but kind, and does all he can to make the children comfortable. He found the present school too small and asked for a new school and kitchen. They are now being built and will soon be completed. The commissioners are willing to do more if we would only show our appreciation and have more interest in the unfortunate of our race. Everybody is happy because the children enjoyed the best Christmas they ever had on the farm and many of them their first Christmas. The commissioners wanted them to have a good dinner, therefore they did their part and the Wishing and Sunshine Workers of the Urklean League through their friends contributed towards the dinner, making them have as a piece a dinner as anyone enjoyed, and they have enough fruit cake and candy for New Year's day. Mrs. Deas and Mrs. Wright kindly assisted the matron with the dinner, and the boys enjoyed the following menu: Rice, corn, sweet popatatoes, roast pork, chicken, bread, apples, oranges, candy and lemonade. The building was beautifully decorated with palms, cedar and bamboo vines. The next surprise was a Christ- mas tree given by a committee of the Women's Auxiliary of the Protective Association. The committee came out Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock and dressed the tree. The ladies deserve great credit, as the tree was beautifully decorated. The exercises began at 4 o'clock and were indeed enjoyable. The matron and her boys find words inadequate to express their many thanks and gratitude to the commissioners, superintendent, Women's Auxiliary of the Protective Association and the Urban League for making it pleasant during the holidays. We wish you and all our friends a happy and prosperous life, also many joys and few sorrows.

Among the Masons Masonry's truest disciples are those whose lives are purest. Our lives should illustrate the sublime principles of Masonry. What you put into Masonry will be returned to you an hundred fold. Amid the strife of nations, Masonry comes as a sweet messenger of peace. Masonic honors bring with them duties and great responsibilities. There is a vast difference between the deserving brother and the ambitious brother, and the welfare of the lodge depends largely on the discrimination that the membership makes between these two classes.—Masonic News. * * * The Divine Fatherhood No human brotherhood that has not its foundation in a divine Fatherhood can long endure. It is a rope of sand, weak as water, and its fine sentiment quickly evaporates. Life leads, if we follow its meanings and move in the drift of its deeper conclusions, to one God as the ground of the world, and upon that ground Masonry lays its corner stone. Therefore, it endures, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.—Selected. A good Mason is a good citizen, which means only that he votes regularly, pays his taxes, and obeys the laws of the land. It means, if he is an American citizen, that, without mental reservation or equivocation, he is loyal to the spirit of Americanism as against any and all otherisms. Square and Compass. A Lasting Monument The only sure way by which a man may hand down his name unsullied to posterity is to embalm it in deeds of charity and pure benevolence. The voice that through the years whispers words of comfort to the distressed may be silent, but its sweet intonations will continue to speak in hearts it leaves behind. The hands may be still in death, but the kindly deeds which they generously ministered will be remembered. Such services not only enrich one's own life, but doubly enrich the lives of others. Therefore, he who would erect an imperishable monument for himself must merge his identity with all of its sweetness of words and deed into that of his neighbor when in need. He who is thus instant in season and out of season will never be forgotten. His monument is imperishable.—Masonic Home Journal. Work to Do. There is work for Masons to do. The world is full of suffering and sorrow, of sin and sadness. Strife and dissension rear their heads where peace and tranquility should reign supreme. There are widow's tears to dry, and orphans's cries to still. The poor are with us always, and there is destitution to be alleviated. What a splendid field for Masonic endeavor! Surely the heart of every loyal Mason should go out in sympathy and charity to all God's needy ones. Yes, there is work for Masons to do. For every true disciple of the square, the field is vast, and the gavel calls to labor. Let Masons bear their fair proportion of the common burden. The world is watching, the eye of God is on us, the distressed and unfortunate are stretching forth their hands in mute but eloquent appeal. For Masonry is love, and Masons are their brother's keepers. Masonic charity should be unostentious. We should not advertise our benefactions. Fraternity is more than a mere word; it means the binding of hearts and souls as brothers and kinfolks are bound.—Globe. There are no short-cuts 'Masonic knowledge. It comes only as a reward of patient research and constant study. Masonry will aid in hastening the day when truth shall triumph over error, and love over hatred. Read Masonic literature. It will broaden your views and make your life better and brighter. Brunswick, Ga., Dec. 26, 1917.

Box 812, Greensboro, N. C. JAS. H. BUTLER Asso. Editor and Manager ED. H. BURKE City Editor Published Every Saturday 1009 WEST BROAD STREET Phone 2171 The several charitable, movements during the present holiday season in which so many of our ladies gave their services are signs of beneficent labor which not only have made their impress upon the hundreds of indigent persons who were helped this year to enjoy some of life's joys, and pleasures but are a positive indication that we are at last waking up to the great responsibility which rests upon each one of us to give assistance to our less fortunate fellow beings. It is particularly pleasing to note the awakened interest which many of our leading women are taking in rendering whatever assistance they can to the poor. That it often requires a real sacrifice to minister properly to the needs of those in want, is recognized by every one who, has had any connection at all with any one of the various charitable institutions among us which have for their object the alleviation of suffering and misery among the needy. It was, therefore, with an eye of appreciation that we observed the score or more ladies of the Urban League who again this year so faithfully gave of their time to the poor in order that the latter might have at least a little of the sunshine of Christmas time in their homes. We realize that many sacrifices had to be made by the ladies in order that the gifts of the league to the poor might be properly distributed. The work which these ladies have done and others who have given their time and energy to similar charitable causes, is bound to bring forth its fruitage not only in a larger number of women joining in the many benevolent movements, but also in a more quickened interest by those who give of their means to such causes. There can scarcely be imagined any initial celebration which has been of more success than that of the community Christmas tree which was held here Wednesday. There can be found but few slight criticisms of the manner in which this affair was staged, and the overwhelming success which attended the efforts of those behind the movement more than justify the expenditure of the valuable time and earnest endeavor which they put into the preparatory arrangements. The demonstration far surpassed even the expectations of the most optimistic member of the committee and every one who in any way contributed to its success should feel highly elated. To assemble and march through the streets such a large crowd of children in such an orderly manner as it was done last Wednesday evening is no small task but requires hard work. The demonstration, in general, brings out one lesson very distinctly and that is the lesson of organization—how effective it is when properly done. There were but few flaws to be found in the way the management handled this great ocular demonstration and these may easily be overcome. The community Christmas tree movement is deserving of every compliment which has been paid it and it is hoped that it will endure for many yuletide seasons to come. The general good behavior observed on the streets throughout the city this Christmas, has been the occasion of much comment. Almost without exception, this state of affairs was attributed to the absence of the bar room. Christmas day was the quietest within the recollection of even the oldest inhabitants and it was a genuine pleasure to see how pleasantly and quietly it was being observed on all sides, not only the principal thorofares but the usually bad sections when liquor had an open hand, being especially free from any semblance of riotousness and undue noise. Where in years drunkards by the score were objects of little or no attraction, hardly a single one was to be found, or if they observed they could be counted on one hand. There is no doubt that prohibition has played well its part, especially among the poor and needy.

Text of the Lesson, Rev. xxii, 6-14. Quarterly Review—Memory Verses, 12-14—Golden Text, Rev. xxii, 17. Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. LESSON I.—A plot that failed, Acts xxii, 14-24. Golden Text, Jer. 1, 19. "I am with thee, saith Jehovah, to deliver thee." All the purposes and plots of men against God and His people will in due time fall and come to naught, but every purpose of the Lord will stand. The greatest verse in this lesson to me is verse 11, the visit of the Lord Jesus and His wonderful personal message, "Be of good cheer, Paul!" LESSON II.-Paul before Felix, Acts xxlv, 10-21. Golden Text, Acts xxlv, 16. "Herein I also exercise myself to have a conscience void of offense to toward God and men alway." A man who believes God fully is able to be meek under strong persecution, spe- cially after a direct message from the Lord Jesus. LESSON III.-The appeal to Caesar, Acts xxv, 1-12. Golden Text, Matt. x, 25. "It is enough for the discipline that he be as his teacher and the servant as his Lord." The devil and his follow- ers are persistent persecutors, and as he has the power of death (Heb. ii. 14) he uses it fiercely, but only with God's permission. LESSON IV.—Paul's defense before Agrippa, Acts xxvI, 1, 24-32. Golden Text, Acts xxvI, 19, "I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision." A splendid opportunity to testify before earth's dignitaries, and Paul certainly did improve it, and all who heard it might have become the Lord's people if they had been willing. LESSON V.—The voyage, Acts xxvI, 13-26. Golden Text, Ps. xxvvI, 5. "Commit thy way unto Jehovah; trust also in Him, and He will bring it to pass." This voyage is suggestive of the voyage of life, which is often very stormy, but if we can truly say of Him, "Whoso I am and whom I serve," we should also add. "I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me" (verses 23-25). LESSON VI.—Shipwrecked on Malta. Acts xxvll, 38; xxvill, 10.. Golden Text, Ps. xxxlv, 22. "Jehovah redeemeth the soul of His servants, and none of them that take refuge in Him shall be condemned." One man brought good cheer to 275 others because he had a message from heaven. He also brought tidings of the Living God and His salvation to the people of Malta. Let us be such messengers. LESSON VII.—World's temperance Sunday, Rom. xiv, 13 to xv, 3. Golden Text, Rom. xiv, 21, "It is good not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, por to do anything whereby thy brother stumbleth." The first thing for any kind of sinner is to be born again, redeemed by grace (Rom. III, 10; 24). "Then because of the judgment seat of Christ for all His redeemed (xiv, 7-12) we must live unto Him, not to self. Lesson VIII.—From Malta to Rome, Acts xviii, 11-31. Golden Text, Rom. 1, 16. "I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth." Whether in Jerusalem, or on shipboard, or at Malta, or in Caesar's household, Paul could honestly say, "I am debtor; I am ready; I am not ashamed" (Rom. 1, 11-16), and it was always the kingdom and the Lord Jesus (xviii, 23, 31). Lesson IX.—A living sacrifice, Rom. xii, 1-8. Golden Text, Rom. xii, 1, "Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service." Because of all the benefits of His grace, as set forth in chapters 1 to vill, we are asked to let Him have full control of all that He has purchased, that He may prove to us and to others through us His perfect will and love, to His glory. LESSON X.-Jesus Christ, the first and the last, Rev. 1. Golden Text, Rev. 1, 17, 18, "Fear not; I am the first and the last and the Living One, and I was dead, and, behold, I am alive forevermore." Note all the wonderful names of the wonderful Prince of the kings of the earth and the oneness of believers with Him and remember that He is always in the midst, even where only two or three are gathered. LESSON XI.-Faithful unto death, Rev. 11, 1-17. Golden Text, Rev. 11, 10, "Be thou faithful unto death and I will give thee the crown of life." Note specially His various titles in the seven epistles and the promises to the overcomers. He reveals Himself to each company and to each individual believer according to our need. Distinguish between the crown of life of 11, 10, and eternal life of John x, 2S. Lesson XII.—The Holy City, Rev. xx1, 1-4, 22-27. Golden Text, Rev. xx1, 3. "Behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and He shall dwell with them, and they shall be His peoples." This is the New Earth beyond the thousand years when He shall have subdued all things unto Himself and God shall be all in all (I Cor. xv, 28). May the light of that city make us blind to all else. Lesson XIII.—Unto us a Son is given, Isa. 1x, 2-7. Golden Text, Isa. 1x, 6. "His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." He who was born in Bethlehem, whose goings forth were from the days of eternity, was born to rule in Israel, and He surely will, according to the prophets and also the words of Gabriel to Mary (Luke 1, 32, 33). F. A. B. CHURCH, BOLTON STREET We had a small attendance on last Sunday but the sermons were very helpful and were much enjoyed. Mother Brown will run a two weeks meeting for us, beginning Sunday December 31st at 11 a.m. She will be with us during watch hour.

Pastor Goodall preached from the subject "God's care for his people." 1st Peter 5:7. Sunday school met at 10 a. m. and the attendance was good. B. Y. P.

Mother Brown was present and spoke of the great work she is doing in Florida. A collection was taken to assist her. Rev. Jones of Dublin, Ga., and Rev. Sherry of Denmark, S.

U. is well attended at 6:30 p. m. Last Sunday this meeting was conducted by Mrs. M. M. Sampson. FRIENDSHIP BAPTIST CHURCH Friendship Baptist church is moving on nicely under the direction of Rev. J. S. Moody. Notwithstanding that thirty-five of his members are now in northern states, the church is moving on. The church was crowded last Sunday at all services. At night the pastor took his text from the 107th Psalm "O give thanks unto the Lord for all his kindness." The pastor received many gifts from the officers and members of the church. WEST END MISSION CHÂRITABLE WORK The West End mission which was organized in December 1915 was able to do a good work for the poor this year. Fifteen baskets were donated to as many needy persons which were joyfully received with many blessings for the mission. The Mission wishes to extend thanks to the Urban League for twelve baskets received through Mrs. Lagare and were distributed by the West End Mission. Lesson I.—First Quarter, For Jan. 7, 1917. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, John i, 1-18—Memory Verses, 11, 12—Golden Text, John i, 4—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. In these four gospel portraits of Christ we see Him as the King (Matthew), the Servant (Mark), the Son of Man (Luke) and the Son of God (John)—the same Jesus in each, revealed to us a little differently, that we may know Him more fully and more intimately. This gospel is certainly the eagle gospel, as the others are suggestive of the other faces of the cherubim, the lion, the ox and the man. Here we are lifted far above the others and carried back to the beginning, before the creation, to Him by whom all things were created. His name, "the Word of God," takes us back to the ten times repeated "And God said" of Gen. 1, along with Ps. xxxill, G, "By the Word of the Lord wore the heavens made." Then on to Rev. xix, 13, when He shall come in glory as "the Word of God." How grand the statement in verse 3, "Without Him was not anything made that was made," reminding us also of Col. 1, 16, and leading us to exclaim Jer. xxxill, 17. I often think of and quote these lines: "The Scriptures and the Lord bear one most holy name; the written and the Living Word are in all things the same. Then the word of any one, if sincere, is the utterance of the heart, and in Him we see and know the heart of God the Father. As Creator He is too far above us to be known by us, but when we see Him in human form, the Word made flesh (verse 14), then He comes near to us in such a way that we may know Him. Though no man hath seen God at any time, any believer can see Him in the only begotten Son (verse 19). Those of whom it is written in Ex. xxiv, 11, "They saw God and did eat and drink," saw not the Father, but the Son, whose goings forth have been from the days of eternity (Micah. v, 2, margin). So was it also with Abraham, and Jacob, and Moses, and Joshua, and Gideon, and Manoah, and Job, and Isalah, and Daniel. Let us be content with the words of our Lord to Philip, "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father" (John xiv, 9). Not only is He God the Creator, but He is the Life and the Light of men. His first recorded utterance in Scripture is, "Let there be light," and then we remember that "God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ" (Gen. 1, 3; II Cor. iv, 6). So peculiarly is He the Life that there is no life apart from Him, for "He that, hath the Son hath life, and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life" (Q John v, 12). Life and light and love are three of the great words of this gospel, and in Him alone are found the three. He is called "the True Light" (verse 9), as He is also "the True Bread from heaven," "the True Vine," "the True Tabernacle" (John vl, 32; xv, 1; Heb. vill, 2). John the Baptist bore witness of the light that men through him might believe, and one of the last words of our Lord before He ascended was, "Ye shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you, and ye shall be witnesses unto me" (Acts 1, 8, margin). Could anything be more pitiful and pathetic than the statement of lesson verses 10, 11, that He was in the world that He had made, and it knew Him not, and His own people received Him not. Yet so it has ever been since: Adam and Eve turned from Him in the Eden, where He placed them to enjoy Him and it. Israel would none of me. I would, but ye would not. Ye will not come unto me. Such are some of His words concerning our treatment of Him. Yet He loves us and pleads with us. Although He knows all the truth about us, He is full of grace toward us; "full of grace and truth." Praiso God for the comfort and the assurance of verse 12, for, knowing that I did truly receive Him as my Saviour and put all my trust in His precious blood, this, with the following verse, made me certain that I had become a child of God, born of God, and, with John v, 24; I John ii, 12; Isa. xiii, 23, and other words of life, gave me assurance of the forgiveness of sins that they would, never be remembered against me and that I had passed from death into life. I have had this comfort now (Junc, 1915) for forty-two years, ever since 1873, but had been a church member in good standing without such assurance for some years before that. It is not a feeling, but simply a resting on the infallible word of God that it is as He says. While Matthew, Mark and Luke refer quite fully to the glory of the transfiguration, John seems to sum it up in one sentence, "We beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father" (verse 14). The only way of true humility on our part (verse 15) and of victory over all present vanities of this world is to behold His glory according to II Cor. ill. 18. Then we shall be unable to see self and circumstances and hindrances because of the glory of that light and because of the city we have so recently been learning about, whose light is the Glory of God and of the Lamb (Acts xxii, 11; Rev. xxi, 23).

Phone 3853. 506 Hartridge St. Give Negro Merchants Xmas Business LEADERS SHOULD PREACH RACE ENTERPRISE By J. C. Lindsay Independent of the lasting and tangible work which has been accomplished thru the indefatigable efforts of the Negro Business League was done so unselfishly for the benefit of this child race of ours which finds itself still in its swatling clothes, there still remains much land to be covered. The efforts put forward by this organization which have resulted in so much good for the people, is simply an index finger pointing to what may yet be accomplished, if would-be selfish leaders would lay aside their petty differences and join in heart and hand and strive to do something along these lines of racial unlift and helpfulness There is no rubbing out of the fact that certain would be leaders in every community, who never turn their hand nor raise their voices, nor weild their pens in the defense of their own kith and kin, no matter what the occasion may be, but when show days come and they can get on dress parade with hat in hand and faces wreathed with deceitful smiles, cringing, truckling and bowing, they are down right ignorant enough to think that the people style such stuff as that as leadership. In the Negro business league of this city, every Negro man and woman are afforded a splendid opportunity to get on the firing lines and contribute their quota to the moral, material and financial uplift of the race with which they are identified. Every intelligent man, be he black or white, respects manhood in an other matters not what the color of his skin is, all an intelligent man whishes to know, is it real genuine manhood? If so, the possessor of such is bound to be respected. The satisfied and contented people without money, without standing in the courts, without a vote, without being called into question to help consider matters pertaining to the affairs of their city, county, state and nation, in the end, that people will get exactly what they have made themselves fit to receive, and that is nothing. At this season of the year every one who is civilized, and reasonably intelligent, is looking around to see what they may procure as a gift, with the end in view to make some friend or unfortunate one happy. It is needless to say that in our rounds for the purpose of making the purchases that we should by all means give the men and women of the race engaged in business, an opportunity to serve us. We know it is true that the selfish ones among us have not brought themselves up to that high plane of living, thinking and acting, to even consider that the Negroes engaged in business in their several communities, have any claim whatever upon them as customers. This self-centeredness, like all other things which Negroes have had to overcome, must be talked down, frowned down and lived down. In making your selections for gifts for friends and relatives, and what got this Christmas and during the holidays, permit us to suggest that you do not forget to give your own men and women engaged in business an opportunity to at least say to you, "If we haven't got it, name it and we will get it." In the dry goods stores of Messrs G. Roberts and Scott Brothers, you will find many beautiful and substantial presents to give to your friends. In the well selected stock of the Savannah Pharmacy Company, you will find numerous things which will do to make presents of. All of the grocers stand ready and are expecting to serve you with the best. Fall not to give them all a chance to serve you. The Negro Business League wishes a merry Christmas and prosperous New Year to all. BETH EDEN BAPTIST CHURCH Beth Eden Baptist church, Rev. N. M. Clark, pastor. The early prayer service was led by Bro. Henry Coleman Sunday and was both interesting and helpful. "The first Christmas message" was beautifully delivered at the morning service. Miss Katie Wilson led the B. Y. P. U. and a very interesting program was carried out. 'Among those who gave interesting talks on the lesson were Mrs. Laura Mungin and Miss Willie Grant.

One year ago this month dear; You walked with us side by side; Sharing our joys and our sorrows, As onward to heaven we moved. And one day as we walked together, Some one touched you and you fell; For three short weeks we nursed you With hands up tiring and true; Praying that God would bid you rise And we would walk together again. But on this day, the twenty-eighth. An angel came noiselessly in You flew away and left us here. With sad hearts and eyes with tears dimed. The First Congregational church, Rev. W. L. Cash, pastor.

John Ruskin THEY COULD BE SMALLER BUT NOT BETTER The truth of the matter is that many Colored business men have neither kept pace with the broadening and discriminating tastes of the Colored customer nor with the specialized efforts of their white competitors. "It's a far cry" from sentiment to business. This is the age of specialized selling methods and the Colored merchant must "fall in" or "fall out." The difference between the business which is "mighty fine" and "just so-so" is the difference in merchandising methods. We can help you to put your business into the "mighty fine" class.
