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.

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.

The One-Piece Dress Peculiarly Adapt- ed to Youth 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 hack.

The up- yor halves fasten to the neck and the lower halves are knotted leosely and hang down the back. Exceedingly at- tractive, also, are the pockets whith give added charm to these dresses.

It fs through them that many of these child- ren are saved from starvation and ex- posure, The Negroes not having an institu tion to care for the orphans, neglecto1, and wayward children, the conmis- sioners had te do something, as the childrett 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 ont that that was not the place for them, hecause they came in contact with the older criminals. They ¢e- cidéd to send them to another farm, [eattoa the “Kine farm.

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.

Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Btearna, Lesson I.—A plot that falled, Acts xxill, 1424. Golden Text, Jer. 1, 19, “I am with thee, salth Jehovah, to de- liver 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 Jesson to me ts verse 1, the visit of ‘the Lord Jesus and His wonderful per- sonal message, “‘Be of good cheer, Paul!” Lessox IL—Paul before Feltr, Acts xxiv, 10-21, Golden Text, Acts xxiv, 16, “Herein I also exercise myself to have g consctence vold of offense to- ward God and men alway.” A man who belleves God fully 1s able to be meek under strong persecution, spe- clally after a direct message from the Lord Jesus. Lesson III.—The appeal to Caesar, Acts xxv, 1-12. Golden Text, Matt. x, 25, “It 1s enough for the’ disciple that he be as his teacher and the servant as his Lord.” The devil and bis fol- lowers are persistent persecutors, and aa bo has the power of death (Heb. i, 14) he uses it flercely, but only with God's permission. Lesson IV.—Paul's defense before Astippa, Acts xxvi, 1, 2452, Golden Text, Acts xxvi, 19, “I was not dis- obedient unto tho heavenly viston.” A splendid opportunity to testify be fore carth's dignitaries, and Paul cer- tainly did improve it, and all who heard it might have become the Lord's people if they had been willing. Lesson V.—Tho voyage, Acts xxvil, 13-26. Golden Text, Ps. xsxvil, 5, “Commit thy way unto Jehovah; trust also in Il!m, and He will bring it to pass.” This voyage ts suggestive of the voyaze of Ife, which fs often very stormy, but if we can truly say of Ilim, “Whoso I am and whom I serve,” sve should also add, “I believe God. that it shall be even as it was told me" (rerses 23-25). Lesson VI.—Shipwrecked on Malta, ‘Acts xxvii, 38: xxvill, 10. Golden Text, Ps, xxiv, 22, “Jehovah redeem- seth the soul of His servants, and none of them that take refuge in Him sball me condemned.” One man brought good cheer to 275 others because he had a messsge from heaven. He also brought tidings of the Living God and His salvation to the people of Malta. Lgt 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 fiesh, nor to drink wine, por to do anything whereby thy brother stum- pleth.” ‘Che first thing for any kind of sinner ts to be born again, redeemed by grace (tom. fi, 19; 24). "Then be- cause of the judgment seat of Christ for all Iits redeemed (xiv, 7-22) we must Ive unto Him, not to self. Lrscos VIU.—From Malta to Rome, Acts axviil, 11-31, Golden Test, Rom. 4, 16, “I nm not ashamed of the gos- pel, 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; Tam ready; 1 am not ashamed” (Rom. 4, 11-16), and st was always the king dom and the Lord Jesus (xxvill, 23, 31) Lrssov 1X.—A living sacrifice, Roth xii, 1-8. Golden Test, Rom, xi, 1 “Prosont your bodies a Iving sacrifice holy, acceptable to God, which is yout spiritual service." Because of all the Uenefits of His grace, as set forth i chapters 1 to vill, We are asked to le lim haye full control of all that Ee has purchased, that Ifo may provo t uy and to others through us Lils per fect will and love, to Its glory. Lrssox X.—Jesus Christ, the firs and the last, Rev. 1. Golden Text Rev. {, 17, 18, “Fear not; I am tho firs and the last nnd the Living One, and was dead, and, behold, I am alive for evermore.” Note all the wonderfu names of the wonderful Prince of th kings of the earth and the oneness 0 bellevers with Ifim and remember tha Be 1s always in the midst, even wher only two or three are gathered. Lesson XI,—Faithful unto deatt Rev. 11, 1-17. Golden Text, Rev. i, 1 “Be thou faithful unto death and will give thee the crown of life.” Not specially His various titles in the set en epistles and the promises to th overcomers. He reveals Himself t each company and to each individus Dellerer according to our need.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. ory Verses, 11, 12—Golden Text, John 1, 4—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. In these four gospel portraits of Christ we see Him as the King (Sfat- thew), the Servant (Mark), the Son of Man (Luke) and the Son of God (Jobn) —the same Jesus in each, revealed to us a little differently, that we may know Him more fully and more intl- mately, This gospel {s certainly the eagle gospel, as the others are sugges- tive of the other faces of the cberubim, the lion, the ox and the man. Here we are lifted far abore the others and car- ried 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, xxzill, 6, “By the Word of the Lord wore the heavens made.” ‘Then on to Rer. six, 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. , 16, and leading us to exclaim Jer. xxxil, 17. I ofton 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 tho same. Then the word of any one, if eincere, 1s the utterance of the neart, and in Him we see aud know the heart of God the Father. As Creator He 18 too far abore us to be known by us, but when we see Him in human form, the Word made fiesh (verse 14), then He comes near to us in such & way that we may know Him. ‘Though no ann hath seen God at any time, any ‘bellever can sco Him in the only be- gotten Son (terse 18). ‘Those of whom it is written in Ex. xxiv, 11, “They saw God and did eat ond drink,” saw not the Father, but the Son, whose goings forth have been from the days of eter- amity Qtieah, y, 2, margin). So was ft also with Abraham, and Jacob, and Moses, and Joshua, aud Gideon, and ‘Manoa, and Job, and Isaiab, and Dan- del Let's be content with the words ‘of our Lord to Phillp, “He that hath seen me hath seen tho Father” Jobn xxiv, 9). Not only {s Tle God the “reator, but He 1g the Life and the Light of men, His first recorded utterance tn Scrip- ‘ture fs, “Let there be light,” and then “we remember that “God, who com- /manded the Ifght to shine out of dark: ness, hath shined in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” (Gen. 4, 3; II Cor. iv, 6). So pecullarly 43 Hp the Life that there ts no life apart from Wim, for “He that -hath the Son hath life, and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life” @ John ¥, 12). Life and light and love are three of the great words of this gospel, and in Tim alone are found the three. He fs called “the True Lizht” | (verse 9), 28 He ts also “the True Bread from heaven,” “the True Vine,” | “tbe ‘True Tabernacle” (John vi, 32; xt, 1; Heb. vill, 2). John the Baptist bore ‘witness of the light that men through him might belfeve, and one of the last words of our Lord before He ascended was, “Ye shall’ receive the pover of the.Holy Ghost comm upon you, and ye shall be witnesses unto me” (Acts 1, 8, margin). Could any- thing be more pitiful and pathetic than the statement of lesson verses 10-11, that He wus in the world that Ife had iade, and tt knew Him not, and Iii | Orn people recelvaal Him not. Yet 0 it has ever been since-Adam and Eve turned from Tim 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 Lis words con- ! cerning our treatment of Ifim. Yet He loves us dind pleads with us. Although He knows all the truth about us, He {1s full of grace towgrd us; “full of | grace and truth.” | Praise God for the comfort and the assurance of verse 12, for, knowing | that I aid truly receive Him as ms ; Saviour and put all my trust in His precious blood, this, with the follow- ing ‘verse, made me certain that I bad | become # child of God, born of God and, with John v, 24; I John i, 12; Isa '{ xiii, 25, and other words of Iife, gave ';me assurance of the forgiveness o! - sins that they would.never be remem || béced against me and that I bad pass | ed from death into Ife.
