C., Jan. 21—Mrs. Matilda S. Dunbar, mother of the famous poet, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, was the guest of honor Tuesday night at the special meeting of the District of Columbia Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, held in connection with the Bethel Literary and Historic Association by courtesy of Mrs. A. S. Pinkett, the president of Bethel Mrs. Dunbar, who is a fluent and engaging speaker, told the life story of her distinguished son, reciting his rise, step by step from the post of elevator conductor in a Dayton office building to the proud estate of a poet of international fame, a playwriter, and author of prose and a composer of lyrics for the operas. As a compliment to Mrs. Dunbar, the Federation presented her with a purse of $20 to assist her to make a visit to relatives in Chicago. Sergeant Daily Farrlor, one of the few survivors of the Mexican massacre at Carrizal, was introduced and this battle-scarred veteran of the 10th calvary, gave a vivid description of the terrible experiences on the ambushed plain, when he and the Boyd command was "shot to pieces" by Mexican marauders. He told of his trials in reaching the American border. He has been appointed through executive orders to a place in the War Department. A shattered wrist tells of his encounter with the "greasers". The meeting of the Federation was conceived and executed by the energetic president of the District Federation of Colored Women, Mrs. A. D. Madre, LL. B. and LL. M., whose speeches in introducing Mrs. Dunbar and Sergeant Farrlor were masterpieces of choice English. . ★ ★ ★ Miss Marie A. D. Madre, our gifted barrister and educator, is in big demand these days as a platform orator, and in this line of work she stands in the first rank, both as to thought and in point of eloquent delivery. Miss Madre is a drawing card in whatever community that is fortunate enough to secure her services. Last Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock Miss Madre delivered an address at the Sharp Street M. E. Church in Baltimore under the auspices of the N. M. Carrol Chapter of the Epworth League, of which Miss Helen, Muse is president and Mrs. Nellie Wedge is secretary. A delegation of Washingtonians accompanied Miss Madre and she was greeted by an immense audience. February 22 Miss Madre speaks at East King Street A. M. E. Church, New York. ★ ★ ★ Announcement is made to the country of the illness in New York City of Mme E. Azalia Hackley, the well-known prima vonna soprano, lecturer and director of "Folk-Song Festivals." She was besieged by a severe cold following her Cleveland engagement and the outcome was an affection of her ear, leading to confinement in the Manhattan Eye and Ear hospital in New York for treatment. In consequence of this sudden illness Mme. Hackley was compelled to cancel her contract to direct a mammoth Festival at Carnegie hall, February 9, for the benefit of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mme. Hackley's condition is serious, but her friends everywhere are hoping for the best and looking forward to a speedy recovery. . . . President F. D.

ART AND CRAFT ASSOCIATION PLANNED A score or more of indies met at Cuyler Street school on Wednesday afternoon in response to Principal Hubert's invitation, to discuss the feasibility of organizing an association for the advancing of the various kinds of hand work and art among the colored people of Savannah. Every one present expressed the thought that the proposition was a good and necessary one and that such an agency would be of helpful stimulation to the intellectual and industrial life of the city. It is proposed to encourage all lovers of fancy work and similar arts to join in the movement. A plan was advanced whereby a display of all finished product would be made in a large exhibition room, set apart for the purpose, at Cuyler Street school. This room would be open to inspection by visitors at all times. A steering committee was appointed with power to outline the plan and scope of the organization with a view to making the movement as wide-spread as possible. Permanent organization will be gone into and plans announced at the next meeting. Watch papers for announcements. AT THE Y. M. C. A. The large crowd present at the "Y" on last Sunday had no cause of regretting being present, for in listening to the superb address of Dr. G. W. Alexander, former dean of Morris Brown University, there was delivered one of the strongest addresses heard in Savannah in many years. Choosing as his subject, "The Country's Call for Efficient Young Men". Dr. Alexander gave to his hearers a new and grander vision of life. The musical by the "Y" at St. Philip church on last Wednesday when there was presented the Invincible Concert Co., was a success in every way. About 400 people enjoyed the musical treat.

WHITE GIRL TAKEN FORM COLORED WOMAN BY COURT Chicago, Jan. 20.—"A child cannot be given away by its parents in the same manner as property is given away" was the comment of Judge Browles today when he declared Marjorie Delbridge delinquent and a ward of the Juvenile Court. Marjorie is a little white girl who has been reared by a colored woman, Mrs. Camilla Jackson. Mrs. Jackson and Marjorie retired to the corridor and sobbed in each other's arms when the decision was read. "Marjorie Delbridge is bright and active, both mentally and physically," the judge said, "blessed with good looks and good health. She is entitled to all the care and protection that the law and society are able to throw around her." Marjorie was intrusted to Mrs. Jackson fourteen years ago by the girl's mother, an actress, on her death bed in Georgia. Marjorie's father had deserted his family, it is said.

MARRIED A very pretty event of this week was the marriage of Miss Lella Hart to Mr. John Hicks of Erie, Pa. The ceremony was performed by Rev. N Bembri, pastor of St. Philip Monumental A. M. F. church. The bride was very attractive in her wedding dress of tulle and lace with hat to match. Mrs. Nellie Hart, of Atlanta, mother of the bride, was in the city to attend the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Hicks will be, in the city until the latter part of March, after which time they will make their home in Erie, Pa. NEGRO PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE DIES AT SPRINGFIELD Springfield, Ill., January 24.—No one in the large audience who heard William Jennings Bryan speak here last night, not even Bryan himself, knew that an opponent of his in the presidential race of 1896 lay dying less than six blocks away from the state arsenal, where Mr. Bryan spoke. Virtually at the hour Bryan's meeting ended, William T. Scott, candidate of the Liberty party in 1896, passed away. Scott was the only Negro ever nominated for president by a regularly constituted delegate convention, in which most of the states were represented.

With Savannah's great lead in schools, banks business enterprises, and substantial business men and scholars. Waycross has lots to gain by latching onto her. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Scott of 16 Highsmith street are rejoicing over the arrival of a beautiful little daughter into their home last Saturday morning. . . . The aftermath to the reception of the six good citizens of Savannah, here on January 24, drew together all of the "jolly good fellows" last Wednesday night at the Dr. Verner building where games and refreshments were played between the felicitations because of the whole-hearted manner in which each and every one worked to make the visitors' stay a happy climax to local anticipations.

Professor Kelly Miller, dean of the College of Arts and science Howard University, and vice president of the league, presided at the afternoon session and L. Hollingsworth Wood, president of the National League, at the evening session. Commissioner Howe, speaking on "Migration after the War" said: "The end of the great war will find America facing a immigration from Central Europe because of the great devastation it has suffered. Along with this heavy immigration, I expect a large exodus. I believe that many will go from this, country back to Europe as soon as the war is over for various reasons, some for curiosity; others to see relatives and others will go because of the widespread belief that land will be cheap in Europe and they will be able to buy property." Mr. E. J. Triay, Jr., of the Eri Railroad, said "The Erie Railroad has employed a large number of the Negro migrants and we are still in need of more because of the abnormal state of labor conditions in this part of the country." We have employed colored men from the South, have found the majority good workers; few have been like other race or any other men, shiftless and ready to "jump their jobs," but the majority are otherwise." In presenting the program of work for the Negro in cities Forrester B. Washington of Detroit, Mich., said that the league's branch in his city is assisting the Negro immigrants there in a practical way, assisting them in getting jobs, seeing that wholesome places are provided and is giving midday talks to the laborers in the many factories. Tenement House Commissioner Murphy spoke interestingly on housing accommodations for Negroes in New York City, and said that: "I don't know what program this association may be considering: It is the essential and fundamental thing that food, clothing and shelter are the fundamental needs of humanity, and if the standards of housing are kept up, it almost inevitably follows that the conditions of the people who live in those houses have a tendency to retrograde. The City of New York recognized this 15 or 16 years ago when it said: 'We will not have people living, in the City of New York in houses below a certain standard.'" Speaking on "The Futility of the 'Strong Arm' Method to Stop Migration from the South" J. H. Butler said; "I am not surprised that the Pennsylvania R. R. has not had success with their Negro labor. They brought about four or five trains into Savannah, sent out a few orders and took all of the driftwood from Savannah. The men were packed like sardines into large numbers of couches. They knew not why nor where they were going; what wages they were to receive, etc. On the other hand, the Erie R. R. has gone about the matter in a different way. They made promises and stuck to them; and the men have stuck to the Erie R. R. I believe that there is to be a greater migration of Negroes in the spring than before, many of the substantial Negro farmers joining the movement. He told of his being arrested, once with 10 school boys whom he was directing to work in the North and of a subsequent arrest when he and about 100 laborers were incarcerated because they were at the depot preparatory to going North. He told also of similar arrests at Macon and Americus, Ga., and elsewhere. Mr. L. Hollingsworth Wood then read a letter from Governor Stanley and the body passed resolutions congratulating him for his loyalty to his oath of office at the great personal risk of saving a Negro prisoner from lynching, the administration of the law from disgrue and the federal court officials from threats of mob violence at Murray, Kentucky. Commission Lawrence B. Dunham, speaking on the "Attitude of the Police", in part, said: "I don't know whether you realize that we have newspapers printed in 34 languages and dialects and 42 per cent, foreign population in New York City. However, we never consider in the Police that we have a Negro problem, although in the Sixth Inspection District we have about 65,000 Negroes. In my work there I have found co-operation in trying to get self-government started among the people. We are trying to train the police to be reasonable, sensible; enforcing the law with judgment and kindness and get people to believe the cop is their friend. I know that is a hard thing to do, and it is going to take a period of education, but we are working towards it. We have a good many colored men in the department and they have made splendid records. Those of them that have gone on with the work have found the PAGE TWO STYLES FOR SOUTHERN WEAR $ ^{ \circ} $ They Forecast What Will be Worn in Spring THE COLORS AND MATERIALS New York, Jan. 19-Although New York is still in the grip of winter, thoughts of lighter clothes to be worn under sunny skies begin to be forced on our attention. Immediately after the holiday season the shops begin to show a tempting array of thin dresses and light suits, for it is now the exodus to warmer climes begin to take place. Those of us who either from choice or necessity must see the winter through in the cold regions, may still contemplate the styles that are offerer for Southern wear, for they are a pretty accurate forecast of what will be worn when spring comes. O. McCALL Blouse of Chiffon with Oyster White Tussur Skirt Blouse of Chiffon with Oyster White Tussur Skirt The delicate lingerie dress this season is of Georgette, chiffon cloth or net—these for the more formal dresses, while for other purposes there are dainty, fine voiles, with new printed, woven or embroidered design in the most attractive colorings imaginable. Net dresses are finely embroidered and trimmed with lace, while those of chiffon and Georgette are adorned with the ubiquitous embroidery in cross-stitch, beads or darning-stitch. The New Colors Green is one of the most fashionable colors for the coming season. It © McCALL has already been launched by Paris with great success; furthermore, it is the true color of spring and for that reason most appropriate for this season of the year. There is a delicate canary yellow used both for afternoon and evening gowns which is quite new and promises to be very much favored. Yellow in any shade seems to meet with approval. The deep mustard and citron shades are considered especially smart for sports clothes. We have not been able to get away from dark blue, for in spite of many people being tired of it, Fashion considers it correct for the tailored suit and dress, and it is much too practical a color to be discarded. Blouses of Ciffon The sketch illustrates a blouse of chiffon made to be worn outside the skirt, a style which increases in popularity as time goes on. The neck line, going straight across the front and back from shoulder to shoulder, is also proving very popular. This line is not so hard when the material is softly shirred and an additional piece of plain chiffon is placed over the shoulder. Shirred pockets at the edge of the peplum, and the ribbon decoration ending in loops below the belt, which is finished with a prim, tailored how directly in front, are special style features worthy of consideration, for they appear in many of the new models, varying accordingly to the nature of the design. Blouses of satin and silk are also making their way among the very sheer materials which are now being used. The tailored skirt with large pockets placed over the inverted pleats at the sides is one of the newest modes in separate skirts. This skirt is of oyster white tussur. Tussur and Pongee Very Smart Tussur and pongee have few rivals among the materials for suits and dresses. With splashes of bright colors or huge dots or squares against a white or natural background, they make the most fascinating sports suits. The striped and dotted designs are very striking and induce an entirely new Crepe de Chine Negligee with Angel Sleeves A negligee with angel sleeves is one of the latest offerings for the woman who wants to be dainty and becomingly attired in her boudoir. A sketch is shown here. The negligee is of Crepe de Chine, with fine lace edging around the collar and pockets, and sleeves of deep lace flouncing. The pockets and sleeves are weighted with tassels. Boudoir caps of net, chiffon and lace trimmed with ribbon are still seen in great numbers. A very pretty cap of blue chiffon with a pleated net ruffle and long streamers of blue ribbon is a recent importation from Paris. A large pearl ornament was placed in front. Another cap of cream net was trimmed with narrow blue ribbon in lattice effect around the edge. Tiny pink rosebuds held down the lattice where the ribbon crossed itself. A ribbon bow on the crown and a soft ruffle to frame the face completed this dainty trifle. Such caps are easily made from scraps which you may have left over in the liouse. DECISION OF S.C. OF M.

LOOK OUT FOR THIS IMPOSTER The Masonic Lodges throughout the Jurisdiction of Georgia will take notice, that a man representing himself to be a member of Crystal Lodge No. 112, Atlanta, Ga. is going over the state fleecing the Masons out of money by putting up pleas of distress. This man whose right name is Gus Collins, was a member of Crystal Lodge but has been expelled for unmasonic conduct. He is a tall, dark, heavy-set, man apparently about 30 years of age. He should be apprehended for obtaining money under false pretenses. He is also using the name of Harper Gaston who is one of our best members. Masonic Antiquity Evidenced in the Apprentice Degree The description of the form of a lodge, the covering of a lodge, the supports of a lodge, the lights of a lodge; the situation due east and west of a lodge, as found in the ordinary text book are in them-elves condensed statements of the theory of the form of the world held by the people of the earth until a very recent date. The descriptions being only slightly changed to suit the needs of the work of the lodge. The form of a lodge, as given in the text books, is a statement of the belief of our ancient brethren as to the form of earth, viz: an oblong, or a parallelogram, in the northern part of which there was a big mountain behind which the sun retired each day, thus producing night. What was once knowledge has passed away from the world of today and, aside from the Masonic ritual and curious books of research, has almost disappeared from the earth, and now that science has so filled our minds with different conceptions, the part of the third section under consideration has a meaningless sound to many who hear it. It is the hope that a clearer conception of what is represented in the past as the belief of the "Fathers;" and represents now a beautiful allegory of the universality of Masonry, will arouse fresh interest in this interesting feature of Masonic ritual.—Tennessee Mason. . . . There is a vast difference between the deserving brother and the ambitious brother, and the welfare of the hedge depends largely on the discrimination that the membership makes between these two classes.—Masonic News. Character of a Mason In the Farmer's Almanac for 1823, published at Andover, Mass., the following article was published under the above heading: "The real Freemason is distinguished from the rest of mankind by the uniform unrestrained rectitude of his conduct. Other men are honest in the fear of the punishment which the law might inflict, they are religious in expectation of being rewarded, or in dread of the devil, in the next world. A freemason would be just. If there were no laws, human or divine, except those which are written in his heart, by the finger of his Creator. "In every climate, under every system of religion, he is the same. He kneels before the universal throne of God, in gratitude for the blessings he has received, and in humble solicitation for his future protection. He venerates the good men of all religions. He disturbs not the religion of others. He restrains his passions, because they cannot be indulged without injuring his neighbor or himself. He gives no offense, because he does not choose to be offended. He contracts no debts which he is not certain that he can discharge, because he is honest upon principle. He never utters a falsehood because it is cowardly, and infinitely beneath the dignity of a Free and Accepted Mason." ★ ★ ★ No Mason will ever know what happiness there is in her storehouse for him, if she is not permitted to work in and through him according to her will and pleasure—Selected. The curse of our present system of Masonry is ignorance. There are many Masons who profess to know all about the catechism yet who never read any thing Masonic, not even the great light upon the altar. If asked as to the meaning of any of the emblems symbols or legends, they appear dumb. They even refuse to read in the by-laws the answers, to simple questions, wanting them referred to the Grand Master, imagining that individual to be an infallible walking encyclopedia of law and usage, and a compendium of history, landmark and tradition. One trouble with our present system is that we are not teaching Masons to think but to remember, and so long as it is possible for a man to stand up and recite ritual by the yard, and receive the plaudits of admiring friends he has very little desire to search after those things which go to build ing to mislead the intelligent white and colored folks of my importance. I have no need to try to mislead any one. The white and colored people know me. He said my height was reached when I gave out the mis-information that I was an auditor which is entirely untrue. The reporter did ask me if Georgia has a member of the S. C. M., I told him no but one of Georgia's members was an auditor and told him who it was. Of course it passed out of his memory who I said it was and he just named some one which did no harm; and I haven't heard of Bro. Burke making complaint for he knows newspaper ethics and often such errors occur; but Pharrow, who wanted to appear smart and get some advertisement at my expense, assumed the right to review the article in a reflective and misleading way. He didn't tell you that he is a master at playing duplicity and riding around at the expense of people who befriend him. He could have told you that he went to Dublin July 1913 with a charge prepared, and no body knows better than Bro. Burke how Pharrow begged the then Grand Master in Savannah in August 1913 to forgive him. for he (Pharrow) knew not what was in the charges, and had no desire to push them. He didn't tell the Odd Fellows of Georgia that while about six to 8 loyal men at the Boston B. M. C. were trying to help elect a S. C. M. he was possibly there on the Johnson-Davis slush fund that he belonged to the different divisions of the Grand United Order of O. F. in Georgia. Ordinarily I woundn't give Pharrow this kind of advertisement, but I want to impress those who may read or have read the article that my opposition to certain men in policies are consider a fight. He said the article reflected on the intelligent members of the order. This one reason is the cause of the article receiving my attention. I have known Pharrow a long time and never knew any one to accuse him of being intelligent. In sad but loving remembrance of my dear wife and our dear mother, Ellen Elizabeth Williams, who departed this life one year ago, January 29., 1916. One year ago she left us, To travel this journey so wide; But God who gives and God who takes Has ever been our gide. She is gone but not forgotten, Never shall her memory fade; Sweet thoughts forever linger, Around the grave where she is laid. Human hands tried to save her. Sighs and tears were all in vain; Till God was pleased that death Should seize and ease her earthly pains. A precious one from us is gone, A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in our home, That never can be filed.

Illinois Freemason MAKE YOUR WILLS The Negro has very rapidly accumulated wealth and every dollar he gets represents more thrift and energy and self-denial than that accumulated by any other class of citizens, in the nation. He must pay larger interests, he must see more of his property, under mortgages and foreclosures than any other class of citizens, nevertheless he is gradually increasing his holdings. It is said that now the Negroes own twenty-five million acres or farm land and they have under cultivation forry five million more acres of land which are rated at a value of $500,000,000. The gross annual income from the farms conducted by Negroes is estimated to be $260,000,000. In the accultation of this wealth will the Negro learn the lesson of cheerful giving? If we can cultivate among our people the habit of leaving their fortunes to education, charitable and religious institutions, we will have incorporated into our race life another element for our advancement. One Negro died recently at Louisville, Ky., who was not able to sign his name and left an estate worth $10,000, another Negro who was at one time a slave, died at Lebanon, Ill., leaving an estate of $47,000 It was said that he moved from St. Clair County in 1864 without a penny. Our preachers should begin to preach the value of making wills and show our men of wealth that they should by carefully placing their wealth where they desire it before their death. This is more important to us than any other class of people. Our educational and charitable institutions are more dependent upon the gifts coming from our people now than ever before and we sincerely trust that a new day will begin among our people for the making of bequests by our men of wealth to worthy institutions and movements for racial uplift.—Christian Advocate. SAYS PHARROW SEEKS PUBLIC TY BY HIS ATTACKS To the Editor of The Tribune: I noticed in a recent issue of your paper an article given by R. E. Pharrow, captioned, "Statement of E. L. Collier of Atlanta Refuted". The article is reflective on your entire reading patrons and is quite assuming on the part of Pharrow, and too, its another one of those ways he has to show that he cannot help from playing duplicity with friends. If it was not for the attempt that Pharrow undertakes to mislead, not only the members of the Odd Fellows which my article dealt-with in the paper, of which which he assumed the right to tell the Odd Fellows of Georgia that I was not an auditor. Every auditor in Georgia knew I was no auditor and had no desire to be one. He spoke of a letter that I received from the Attorney General some time ago and gave as his reason that I had busybodied myself to write the Attorney General inquiring about the decision of the Supreme court. If he had desired to tell you the truth he would have told you that I was gathering information to take with me to the S. C. M. meeting. I had a talk while in Macon December 29th, with a young man I know who is the court reporter for the Macon Telegraph growing out of that interview or conversion the article that Pharrow assumed the right to correct what he considered an injustice to Bro. Edward H. Burke, and claims that I was try- IN MEMORY Lesson V.—First Quarter, For Feb. 4, 1917. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, John iii, 1-21. Memory Verses, 5, 6-Golden Text, John iii, 16-Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. If we take the last sentence of chapter ii and the first of chapter ill from the revised version we will read: "He Himself knew what was in man. Now, there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus." This man therefore comes before us as a sample of all religious men of his stamp, and as our Lord dealt with him so He still deals with all such. He was one of the rulers and evidently a man held in high esteem by his fellows, but he was not as yet born from above. He was very complimentary and courteous to the Lord Jesus, but our Lord had no heart and no time for mere compliments. He saw all people as either having life and not condemned or under the wrath of God and condemned already (verses 18, 30). Seeing before Him a lost soul and not being willing that he should perish, He at once spoke to his heart, for He knew what was in Him. We may sum up His threefold reference to the new birth (verses 3, 5, 7) in the emphatic declaration of verse 7, which is a word for every unsaved person, however religious he may be. "You must be born again," or, as in the margin, "from above." It has been truly said that if we are born but once, merely a natural birth, we shall die twice, and the second death will be the lake of fire (Rev. xx, 14, 15), but if we are born twice, have had the birth from above, we shall die but once, and, if alive on earth at His coming, shall not die at all (I Cor. xv, 50-52). While our Lord often used the word "verily" (a translation of amen), only in this gospel is He recorded as using the double verily and just twenty-five times, the first time being in chapter 1, 51, and in reference to the coming kingdom. We find it in our lesson chapter in verses 3, 5, 11, and in the first two also in reference to the kingdom. It requires a new birth inwardly and a new body outwardly to enter that kingdom (I Cor. xv, 50), but if we have the first we shall in due time have the second (Phil. ill, 20, 21). Nicodemus, being merely a natural man, although a religious one, could not understand spiritual things, according to I Cor. ii, 14, therefore his many questions. As a master of Israel (verse 10) he might have known more than he did, but he needed some one in him whom he had never yet received (chapter 1, 12). Our Lord then took him back to an incident in the wilderness story, with which he must have been familiar (verses 14, 15), and from it taught him how to be born again, and we conclude from chapters vll. 50, 51; xix. 30, that then or later Nicodemus was really born again and became a true disciple of Jesus Christ. The new birth is wrought in us by the word of God and the Spirit of God, as our Lord taught in verse 5, the water signifying the word as in Eph. v. 26. Both James and Peter are in perfect accord as to the new birth being accomplished by the word of God (Jas. 1, 18; I Pet. 1, 23), and our Lord said that His words were Spirit and Life (John vi, 63). I have often seen John ill, 16, bring about the new birth in a soul just by writing the person's name in the verse instead of the words "the world" and "whosoever," and as quickly as the bitten Israelites looked upon the dead representation of that which had bitten them and lived so have I seen sinners looking upon Jesus made sin for them and obtaining life by a look. He came to save the lost, the sick the hopeless, and He does it all Himself. We have only to let Him save us, to see Him dying, in our stead, bearing our sins in His own body, and, receiving him, take Him at His word, that by virtue of His great sacrifice all such have everlasting life and can never perish. People are condemned not because of any ordinary sin, for all are sinners, but because they will not receive Him who alone can save them, because they will not look and live (verses 18, 19). By receiving Him we honor God as true, but by refusing to receive Him we make God a liar and join hands with the father of lies against God (verse 33; I John v, 10; John vii, 24). Only one who was truly God could speak of Himself as "the Son of Man who is in heaven" while yet He was on earth (verse 13). Note also His words in verse 35, "The Father loveth the Son and hath given all things into His hand." Compare Matt. xi, 27, and let us, like John the Baptist, bear faithful testimony to Him, and, like the servant of Abraham seeking a bride for the only son to whom his father had given all that he had, let us live to help obtain the bride, the church, for the coming Bridegroom. See verses 27-31 and compare the beautiful story in Gen. xxiv. As Abraham's servant talked only of the wealth of the beloved son and carried samples of it, by means of which to obtain the bride, so we are to speak of Him and His wealth of grace and glory, seeking only to magnify Him, that He may draw souls to Himself. The one thing that believers are on earth for 1; to let Him so live, in us that others may be won to Him.

Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Georgia, as Second class Mail Saturday February 3, 1917 The efforts of several of the governors of our states to discontinue lynching and lawlessness are both commendable and refreshing. An executive conscious of his path will always prevent lawlessness in his state. Gov. Harris has been importuned to call a special session of the legislature, in order to make Georgia an "air-tight" state so far as prohibition is concerned. The governor needs specific reasons to show the pressing need of such a session. He stated that if it could be shown that the present law is causing demoralization among the colored people, he would readily call the extra session. Why should the governor single out the colored people. Compared with others, there is less drinking among them. Along racial lines the governor has not shown the broad-gruged statesmanship of some of his predecessors. MAIN CAUSE OMITTED Under title "Tenantless Lands," the Augusta Chronicle January 21, publishes a letter of one of its subscribers, N. L. Willet, who appears to be a farmer of large proportion in the neighborhood of Augusta. The writer offers many reasons why the Negro farm laborer and tenant is so ready to leave the farm for northern labor fields. He sets up the usual bug bear of rigorous climate, sharp labor competition and the cold commercialism of northern employers, as reasons why Negroes should remain on southern farms where, as he says, "they make three times more." He admits that southern farmers should take quick action to hold their laborers and tenants, and suggest a remedy: "Let the land owner buy two brood sows, a milk cow and churn, and fifteen or twenty chickens. Let this be a part of the outfit of each unit farm, the tenant to use them without cost but to keep up in point of number at all times, this little animal colony. This would cost something, but, as I see it, no land owner should be willing for laborers of his place to live in the low level of life which obtain on the usual plantation. He touches upon a very, vital spot in the life of the southern farm laborer, true enough, but he omits to mention, purposely or inadvertently the most vital cause of discontent. The fact is that many colored people who are not in a state of poverty are migrating or planning to do so, also. The main cause is, not boll-weevil, poverty, etc., but lack of protection to life and limb, and property. The writer to the Chronicle knows, as do thousands of others who have the interest of the South at heart, how colored people in the rural districts and on the farms have suffered at the hands of white individuals and mobs. He knows that there are sections in this very state where Negroes are made to feel that there is a limit to the prosperity they may exhibit, that there are certain of the good things of life and of the fruits of honest toll which the colored man dare not enjoy. He knows further that if a Negro has something which his white neighbor corets, he will be intimidated and coerced into giving it up. He knows how colored people have suffered in the matter of education, the schools in many places remaining open only two' or three months in a given year, and in some places, when the mob spirit was high, schools, churches and lodge rooms were burned. Why doesn't the gentleman seeking the cause of these alarming conditions offer to satisfy the rural Negro on these points? Why did he not suggest a seven months school? Why doesn't he urge the farm owners to give laborers and tenants protection under the law, and justice and fair-play in business? These things, and these alone will make the Negro content. We have noticed lately that in several sections of the city, on street corners in particular small groups of boys, white and colored, ranging in years from ten to twenty, rolling like gum. billing: We do not undertake to point out the particular places because they are too many to mention. The unfortunate thing about the matter is that scores of pedestrians, men, women and children pass these groups by, indifferently or with a feeling that it is the business of the police to break it up, not theirs. Recently a few gangs of these have fallen into the toils of the law, but so few have been run down that it has no effect to break up the practice. Meantime, greater numbers of smaller boys, yet too young to enter the game, stand by as interested spectators and learners—later to recruit the squads. These boys congregate mostly at night at corner stores and stands and stage their dice rolling openly on the side walks or at the lane corners near by. This practice brings to mind the presence of numbers of boys in short pants, who frequent the various pool rooms of the city. Some of these small boys are daily at school and must have a demoralizing effect upon their associates. It is unlawful to gamble, and if we are correctly informed, minors are not allowed in pool rooms. These practices should not be tolerated. Any observers of gambling on the streets, if not elsewhere, should report it to the police, and minors should not be allowed to darken the doors of pool rooms under penalty of revoking the license of the proprietors who indulge or encourage them. These influences are the worst possible upon the young, and no amount of home training or church instruction can counteract their baneful effect upon the child. Many children find it necessary to go about the streets upon business for their parents or employers and they are entitled to protection from these evil influences. The child mind is naturally venture- some and curious and needs to have thrown around it every safe-guard against sin and lawlessness. A few reports to the police authority on these nuisances should put an effectual stop to them. SUPERINTENDENT GIBSON The Tribune, along with all the thinking people of the community, like the ring of fairness and wholesomeness in the speech of Superintendent of Public Schools C. B. Gibson, in his address to the principals and teachers of Colored schools last week. It smacks of justice and fair-play. It seems to be characteristic of the man. The wide-awake and progressive superintendent, like all men of modern education and thought, knows that the life and progress of all the people white and colored, are inextricably related and interwoven, our interests are mutual and common, and one class of the commonwealth cannot advance without and at the expense of the other. It has taken many people years to arrive at this point in their treatment of the problem of public education and their administration of educational funds and affairs committed to their trust. A good many have not yet reached it, but there is hope that more light and a clearer surer vision of modern life will bring the inevitable condition home to them. The superintendent said that all the modern advantages in educational ideas were to be extended to all the people alike. Colored people have been patient under inadequate and uncomfortable school facilities and they will be none the less duly appreciative of a fair and equitable apportionment of the increased advantages which the modern progressive thought in education will bring to them. It requires modern education and progressive thinking to make men broad, to cause them to get that conception of public and civic duty which a public officer should have. The new superintendent seems to be well-endowed in the qualities which make for full fitness, and the whole school system will continue to thrive under his just and able supervision of affairs. TURBLE AND EFFICIENCY The so-called hard times and panic years of the last decade have not been without their valuable lessons. They have served the useful purpose of teaching great numbers of our people the lesson of thrift and frugality. Many have learned the wisdom of laying aside a portion of their earnings, how ever small, for the "rainy day", the time of illness and great stress. The great majority of people fall within the class of unskilled labor and thus cannot lay claim to higher wages and, in most cases, to permanency and security of position and employment. These, more so than others should learn the lesson of economizing and saving something out of their small earnings to provide against the day of unemployment. In times like these, the unskilled laborer has no voice in the regulation of industry or the wage scale. Labor is so easily available, so dependent, and withal so unorganized, that it has no consideration in the councils of industry. What little organization there is, has fortunately, somewhat ameliorated conditions for the working man in certain isolated sections. This organization, however, has embraced few colored people, and when it has, it has done so as a means to an end and not out of fellow feeling and class interest. As a general proposition the white labor unions have resented organization among Negroes and employers have not countenanced Negro unionism. Negro mechanics who have had union experience have realized this, and have learned to act in accordance with their best interests. Capital, too, in a great many instances, looks at labor cold-bloodedly and commercially—regardless of the color line and colored people have gone into many fields of industry because of the arbitrariness of white labor. Moreover, it is fortunate that Negro labor has usually succeeded wherever it has gone. In the great packing plants of Chicago and Kansas City, in the coal fields of Pennsylvania and West Virginia, in railroad and other public work of the North, where prior to the past year or two Negro labor has been unknown, colored labor has been successful. The innate docility and pliability of the Negro laborer, his conscientious interest in the work of his employer and his growing reliability have availed him much. He is making reputation. That reputation is securing for him trials in many of the manufacturing plants and every day we hear much to encourage us from employers in the new industries undertaken by colored folk. It would seem that a new era is opening up for the Negro wage-earner by the accident of war, and he must be alive to the great responsibility he has upon him. The future control of all these avenues of labor, for colored people, rests with the Negro laborer in these new and bitter-to unknown experiments. To make good, will mean industrial emancipation for hundreds of thousands whose industrial status has been fixed within certain narrow limits for years. Let us help him to make good. Let us encourage and assist in making the labor conditions satisfactory. This, in part, is the task which the migration conference, which met last week in New York City, mapped out for itself. Savannah had a representative at that conference, and the details of their deliberations are given elsewhere in this number. Savannah is a pivotal point in this labor movement—a sort of clearing port for the regions round about, and the citizens here can do a great service in the matter. We would do well to discourage the shiffties, improvident and the weak, at least. These can do nothing except to complicate the situation in northern labor centers by increasing the charity burdens of large cities. Then let us urge all, those who remain and those who go, to prove themselves efficient and reliable and thrifty. There is a marked improvement among this class of people here in Savannah. The character of the labor here is improving all the time. The ranks of skilled labor are being increased, and along with increased efficiency comes thrift. The one is the hand maid of the other. Let us all pull and pull together for Thrift and Efficiency. URBAN LEAGUE ON NEGRO MIGRATION (Continued from Page One) present administration has helped toward a better understanding.' Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, opened the discussion, and said in part: "Colored people do not know their economic power and the white people will not admit it. When they leave, their very moving, although unorganized, proves both to the Negro and to the white man that the Negro is an essential factor in the development of the South. It further proves to the thoughtful Negro if all of this stirr can be made by an unorganized race movement, what can be done by an organized movement." Oswald Garrison Villard was among the speakers to address the evening session. He said that he considered the migration of Negroes to the North one of the best movements in recent years for the Negro and the country in general, and that he was opposed to any restriction being placed on their coming North. He said there is plenty of work in the North and the Negro was needed in great numbers. In concluding the program, E. K. Jones, executive secretary of the Urban League, proposed a plan for organizing work in cities throughout the country: Such movements to aid the migrating Negroes to adjust themselves to their new environment and in improving the conditions of Negroes in the South. The following resolution was adopted by the Conference: Negroes are migrating to the North in unprecedent numbers and are preparing to come in greater numbers in the spring. They are attracted by the large wages offered and by the opportunities to enjoy larger personal, political and civil freedom. In some sections of the South, they stand in constant dread of personal violence and are leaving to escape oppression. This Conference of Negro Migration, assembled under the auspices of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, wishes to go on record as believing: 1. This is the time of all times for Negroes of the South and whites of the South to arrive at a better understanding of each other and of the value of THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE the two races to each other. II. That the Negroes' industrial opportunities in the North are unusual that northern employers are securing and can secure Negro labor, dependable, loyal, constant American labor and that this labor should not be abused or exploited, but should be cared for as well as any other labor. II. That, although thousands of Negroes in excess of the normal migration have left the South since April last and more are to follow, still the great mass of the Negro population of the United States will remain in the South-land. Therefore be it resolved: I. In the South:—That wherever possible, whether in the city or rural community, organizations be formed with the following purposes: (a) To foster good feeling between the two races. (b) To study the health, school and work needs of the Negro population. (c) To develop agencies and stimulate activities to meet those needs. (d) By training and health protection to increase the industrial efficiency of Negroes and to encourage a fairer attitude toward Negro labor especially in regard to hours, conditions and regularity of work-and standard of wages. (e) To increase the respect of law and the orderly administration of justice. II. In the North:—That similar organizations be formed or existing organizations urged to take action which, in addition to the purposes already mentioned, shall seek to instruct the Negro migrants. (a) As to the dress, habits and methods of living necessary to withstand the rigors of the Northern climate. (b) As to the efficiency, regularity and application demanded of workers in the North. (c) As to the danger of dealing or going with unscrupulous or vicious persons and of frequenting questionable resorts. (d) As to the opportunities offered by the towns and cities of the North in schools, hospitals, police protection and employment. (e) As to facilities offered by the church, Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. and other organizations. NAGLE-STARR NUPTIAL The wedding of Miss Marlon Nagle and Capt. John Starr, U. S. C. G., on Thursday evening of last week at First African Baptist Church, Franklin square was one of the most brilliant events of the season. Hours before the appointed time for the knot to be tied, hundreds of people were rushing from every direction to the scene of activity, bent on taking a look upon the congenial captain and the one he had selected to be his better half. The church was crowded to its capacity and many had to remain on the outside. They were fully three thousand people there. About 10 o'clock the pridal party arrived at the church in carriages and merry, too, were they upon their rode up. Immediately upon their arrival, Mrs. T. J. Goodall took charge of the organ, and to the strains of Mendelsohn's wedding march, the party entered the church. It was led by the ushers, Mr. George Smith, Mr. Chas, Allen, Mr. Harry Young and Mr. John Gadsden, Following were the brides maids and groomsmen, who came down the side aisles; they were Miss Helen Harris of Augusta and Mr. Earl Parks and Miss Marie Levy of Augusta and Mr. Milton Robertson, Jr. Then came the matron of honor, Mrs. Elmora Hatchett Allison, and behind her was the ring-bearer, Master Thos. R. W. Nagle, Jr., who was followed by the flower girl and boy, little Burneta Green and little Carswell Bates, Jr. The bride then entered on the arm of her brother, Mr. Chas, Nagle, and they were met at the altar by the groom and his best man, Mr. Thos. Nagle, Jr., where the ceremony was performed amid several beautiful palms. by the Rev. T. J. Goodall. During the ceremony the organ pealed very softly, "Buds and Blossoms." The bride was exceptionally charming in her elegant gown made of silver lace combined with silk tulle and ribbon. The overskirt was of two pointed flounces of tulle, edged with narrow ribbon, fell with points alternately over a drop skirt, which was also edged with a deep gather flounce of silver lace. This flounce was lined with another of point lace; the bodice was of silver lace over the shoulder from the left and tulle over the right, over draped in basque effect. There were large puffed sleeves over the shoulders. Around the edge of the bodice were loops of narrow ribbon which fell over the skirt. The veil of tulle embroidered in butterflies and edged with venetian lace, was draped with a pretty wreath of orange blossom. She wore pearl beads and satin slippers and carried a bouquet of bride roses, showered with sweet peas and tied with white tulle. The groom was attired in the white uniform of the government. The matron of honor wore a blue taffeta silk with point despair tunics and bodice edged with silk with angle sleeves. Her bouquet was of radiant roses and malden-hair fern, tied with pink tulle. The bridesmaid, Miss Harris, was gowned in pink charmeuse, accordian pleated with an over-dress of pink tulle with a pink velvet bodice embroidered within in a silk butterfly. The other maid, Miss Levy, wore a gown of pink tull-founded edged with silk bands over pink silk and a bordice of pink tulle with a headed medallion in centre. Both bridesmaids carried pink and white carnations. The ring-bearer and little flower girl were very becomingly dressed. Mrs. Elizabeth Nagle, the bride's mother, and Mrs. Wilhelmina Bates and Mrs. W. G. McFaster were very becomingly gowned for the occasion. After the ceremony, Photographer J. W. Johnston took a flash of the scene. The reception at the house was a gay affair and the couple received fully 500 presents. They consisted of silverware, china, cut glass, chalets, lamps, pictures, fahle covers, vases, centre pieces, tables, wearing apparel, kitchen utensils and many other things too numerous to mention. Capt. Starr is very popular in the community and Personally appeared before the undersigned, Duncan Pringle who being duly sworn deposes and says that he is the Secretary-Manager of the Chatham Mutual Life and Health Insurance Company, and that the foregoing statement is correct and true.

No man is too young to make an investment in good real estate; and the older a man may be, the more necessary. Is it that he make provision against the time when his earning capacity will decrease. We have some very attractive farm properties on our list. very quickly when saved regularly. And the dollars increase surprisingly when the saying habit is continued. Young people who commence saving at once are the wisest and happiest. They are making for themselves a happy journey through life and a comfortable old age. VINGS BANK BROAD ST. F. D.

Lindsay Conditions which confront the Negro in this country, which he must meet face to face and grapple with, are of such a nature that he is made the stronger after each contest is over. These conditions whether they are considered favorable or unfavorable, where the Negro is directly concerned, have in themselves peculiar elements, which cause the Negro in a way, to discover himself to his very best advantage. Whenever the thoughtful Negro gro makes it up in his mind that he is going to do for his fellow man exactly what he would like his fellow man to do, for him, under similar conditions, it is then and there that the services rendered in such matters, which were intended as a help for the other fellow, the person rendering such service gets out of it more than the person to whom the service is being rendered. The truthfulness of the statement above was never more beautifully brought out than when a party of Negro business men, headed by Mr. L. E. Williams, president of the Wage Earners Savings Bank, this city, spent their time and money to go to the beautiful little city of Waycross, for the purpose of giving whatever information and encouragement to that coterie of excellent Negro business and professional men who have made up their minds, with God to help, that they are going to give the Negroes of Waycross and Ware county a Negro savings bank. While these Savannah Negro business men, namely: Messrs. L. B. Williams, Sol. C. Johnson, A. B. Singfield, G. H. Bowen, Dr. C. B. Tyson and another, left this city for the purpose of being of some assistance to Mr. Carlton W. Gaines, who is heading this race uplifting movement at Waycross, and the splendid bunch of business and professional men who stand hard by his side and with intelligence, enthusiasm and money are holding up his hands and giving to him every other means of encouragement at their hands, these Savannah men, I say went to Waycross to help those splendid men at that place, but received much more help from them than they were able to give to the Waycross Negro business adepts. Turns taken like the one referred to above are no new thing to men who have thought seriously along the lines of racial helpfulness. The average man gets out of everything just about what he puts into it. So it was with the Savannah Negro business men who went to Waycross. Wednesday afternoon, January 24th, for the purpose of trying in a way, to be of some service to that progressive bunch of Negro business and professional men, who stand as a compact unit for the upbuilding of every interest which concerns the dusky sons of Ham whose good fortune it is to live in and around the great metropolis of the county of Ware. One of the most remarkable things in connection with all we have been trying to say along lines economic industrial, racial and otherwise, is the way in which the Negro physicians of Waycross get in the lead and make their own town worth while. In that progressive little city, there are seven Negro physicians, namely: Dr. G. B. Washington, the greatest Roman of all of them, Drs. H. C. Scarlett, J. J. Creagh, M. P. Sessoms, S. D. Cotterell, E. W. Verner and T. W. Wells, all of whom were on hand and took a leading part in all which was being done for the city and people that give to them their daily bread. May the good Lord give us more Negro physicians like those in the city of Waycross. We should like to tell of some of the racial enterprises which are being fostered by the men and women of the capitol of Ware, but time and space forbid that we attempt here to go into details on these matters, but suffice it to say, that Waycross is wide awake. We should be very pleased to tell what is being done by the McGraws, Howards and our own John Henry Adams, than whom there is no finer artist in the game of free hand drawing in this country. All of these whose names we have seen fit to mention and scores and hundreds of others, vied with each other in helping us to arrive at the conclusion, that an individual receives help in proportion as it is his or her desire to help some one else. Yes, the verdict is that the Savannah business men got more from the Waycross Negro business men than the Waycross Negro business men got from the Savannah Negro business men. Come early to your next business league meeting which will be Wednesday evening, February 7, and listen to a full report which will be given by a member of the Williams party, which represented you at Waycross, January 24th. push the Dyer bill appropriating $100,000 for a national monument to commemorate the valor of the Negro soldires and sailors in all the wars of the republic. It is estimated that there were at least 3,000 Negroes in the Revolutionary war and a large number are reported to have been in the navy. The Negro figured conspicuously in the war of 1812. In the war between the states there were upward of 200,000 Negroes enlisted and all agree that the colored troops fought nobly. The story of the Negro in the Spanish American was and his brave conduct in the recent encounters in Mexico are a part of the history known to the readers of today's current news. The monument project is being well supported in Congress and President Lee is putting in some vigorous work toward pushing its passage. Much local interest is being manifested in the approaching Mid-winter Festival, announced for February 11 to 16 at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church, under the auspices of Miss Nannie H. Burroughs' National Training School for Girls. Among the stars of the occasion are Mme. Anita Patti Brown, Clarence Cameron White and Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis. A strong effort is being made to organize the alumni of Dunbar High and Miner Normal Schools. Miss Lucy Hamilton Nooks recently collected a goodly sum for the benefit of Wilberforce University, representing a section of the Washington Chapter of "The Wilberforcians" an alumni association that is growing nation wide. Mrs. Julia Mason Layton is teaching temporarily in the public schools of this city. Miss Vivian Lucile Thompson paid a business visit to Baltimore last Saturday. Prof. William G. Pearson, principal of the Whitted High School at Durham, N. C., passed through the city last Sunday, on route homeward from a trip to New York City. Prof. Pearson is one of the South's foremost educators and is said to greatly resemble Dr. Booker T. Washington in personal appearance having been mistaken for him by many who knew well the deceased founder of Tuskegee. Miss Velmar Green is taking a postgraduate course at Howard University. Lleut. Col Arthur Brooks is custodian of the valuable dining room property at the White House, with its vast store of gold and silver ware and fine linens. He alone knows the combination of the vault containing these treasures and is solely responsible for their safe keeping. His fidelity and painstaking have won for him the full confidence of President and Mrs. Wilson. Mr. James H. W. Howard, deputy United States marshal, is confined to his home with la grippe. Rev. J. D. Pair, an unusually well-equipped minister of the gospel, has resigned as pastor of St. John's Baptist church. In the five years of his service he raised about $6,000 and reduced the debt of the church from $2,100 to $300 and made $800 worth of improvements. Miss Lillian A. Evans of the kindergarten department of the schools, was royally entertained during her recent visit to St. Louis, where she went as the guest of her brother, Mr. Joseph H. B. Evans. The Myrtilla Miner Normal School on Georgia Avenue, Dr. Lucy E. Moton's magnificent $250,000 structure, is to be dedicated in February. Dr. R. R. Moton is expected here in March, to speak in the interest of the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund. Secretary Emmett J. Scott may accompany him. Mr. Wellington A. Adams has consolidated his emprium of music with his Columbia Academy and Conservatory of Music. With several important organizations meeting at the Adams establishment weekly, the school building is becoming the civic center of our people in the District of Columbia. Miss Louise A. Smith, principal of the Joshua R. Giddings School, died January 21 at her residence, and was buried on the 24th from St. Luke's P. E. church, Rev. T. J. Brown rector, officiating. The remains were taken to Norwich, Conn for interment. Miss Smith has taught for many years in the Washington schools and was regarded as quite wealthy. THE · SAVANNAH · TRIBUNE Protect Your Horses' Feet Have Them Shod by The Cresceus Horseshoeing and Clipping Shop The Women's Auxiliary of the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund Committee will give a grand "hop" at the headquarters next Tuesday evening. A complimentary dinner in honor of Former Governor P. B. Pinchback is scheduled for an early date. Gov. Pinchback is the race's one, only and celebrated "grand old man".He is the soul survivor of the famous "Old Guard" of reconstruction days. Mr. Thomas Wallace Swann, Democratic national leader, abideth with us and is taking a lively interest in directing the activities of the colored people of Washington in the second inauguration of President Wilson. During her stay here, Mrs. Matlida S. Dunbar, mother of the distinguished poet, was the recipient of much social attention at the hands of the best people of the capitol. Dr. J. Burnett Clark, formerly of the Washington public schools, is now located at Springfield Mo., and is prospering. The Mu-So-Lit CMLub on February 9 will celebrate the centenary of Frederick Douglass and commemorate the birthday of Abraham Lincoln. . . . Nothing new has been heard this week of the proposed monument to Booker T. Washington. The scheme to give 40 per cent of the collections to the solicitors is denounced at once as a farce, as no contributor wishes to give a dollar to honor the memory of the founder of Tu-kegee and know that 40 cents of the same is to fall into the hands of speculators. At the joint debate between Rev. Walter H. Brooks and Mr. L. M. Hershaw at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church was an enjoyable diversion. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs has inaugurated a city-wide campaign for $3,000 to meet emergency demands of National Training School for Women and Girls. The "Get-Together meeting" of the Howard University Alumni Wednesday night was a big success. The outlook for the semi-centennial first week in March is exceedingly bright. The colored schools are prospering under the personal supervision of Dr. John Van Schaick, Jr., president of the board of education. PROUD OF HIS RACE A few weeks ago a new novel of the great French author, Alexander Dumas, was discovered and has received considerable mention throughout the literary world. A French writer in LaRevue gathers together some reminisces of the great novelist and among them is the following: "It is said of Dumas that he would often get up behind his own carriage in order to demonstrate to his friends that he had a Negro footman. He always seemed very proud of the fact that he had African blood in his veins."—Kansas City Sun. That reminds us of an interview attempted by a fresh American reporter who had called upon Dumas in the interest of his paper. "Your ancestry" said the reporter. "I understand was a trifle clouded." "No", answered the novelist. "not clouded. On the contrary, it was dark, but clear." "Of what nationality was your grand father?" asked the reporter. "And your grandfather's father" insisted the scribe. "He was a native African," blandly returned the French Negro. "Now, may I ask" pursued the reporter, "what was your great-grandfather's father?" "Certainly," responded Dumas. "He was a baboon. You see monsieur, my ancestry began where yours left off." Hopkinsville Saturday News. 315 JEFFERSON ST. Phone 3509 NELSON A.

Poro Treat- SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson IV.—First Quarter, For Jan.28,1917. Text of the Lesson, John ii, 13-22 Memory Verses, 15, 16-Golden Text, Matt. xxi, 13-Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. As in our last lesson, our thoughts were carried back to Jacob's dream and that which it pointed onward to, so in this marriage at Cana, where He wrought His first miracle and manifested forth His glory (chapter 11, 11), we are taken back to the first marriage in Eden and onward to the marriage of the Lamb (Rev. xix, 6-9), after which will come the kingdom, when He will drink again the fruit of the vine and others shall eat and drink at His table in His kingdom (Luke xxii, 18, 30). If these earthen vessels of ours, these mortal bodies, were as full of the water of the word as the vessels at the marriage were full of literal water up to the brim. He could easily change the water to wine and we would be filled with the Spirit and with joy and peace in believing, and perhaps be counted drunken, as the disciples were at Pentecost. (II Cor. iv, 7; Col. ill, 16; Rom. xv, 13; Acts, ii, 13-15). As this marriage was at Cana and that was Nathaniel's home (ii, 1; xxi, 2), if it is of interest to you to think of this as being the marriage of Nathaniel you are at liberty to do so until you can see him and ask him about it. But it is the Lord Jesus and not Nathaniel in whom we are especially interested. Let us not forget Mary's word to the servants, "Whatsoever He saith unto you, do it" (verse 5). After a brief stay of a few days at Capernaum with His mother and His bethren and His disciples, we next find Him at Jerusalem at Passover time (verses 12; 13). We think of the first Passover to which He went with His mother and Joseph when He was twelve years old, and when, after three days' search for Him they found Him in the temple, and when they asked Him why He had so dealt with them He replied, "Wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?" or, as in the revised version, "in my Father's house" (Luke 11, 42-51). We now find Him again in the temple and again He calls it "My Father's house" (verses 13-17). In verses 18-22 He speaks of His own body as the Temple, for both the tabernacle and the temple were typical of Him as the true tabernacle and temple, in whom God dwelt (Heb. viii, 2). When God gave Moses instructions to build the tabernacle in the wilderness He said, "Let them make me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them" (Ex. xxv, 8). The temple was for the same purpose that God might dwell in the midst of His people—Israel; an house for the name of the Lord God of Israel that all the people of the earth might know that the Lord is God and that there is none else (I Kings viii, 20, 60). The body prepared in the womb of Mary was for the same purpose, as it is written, "A body hast thou prepared me" (Heb. x, 5). As we had it in a recent lesson, "The word was made flesh," "God manifest in the flesh" (John i. 14; I Tim. iii, 16). Every redeemed person is now a temple or mansion, in which the Father, Son and Spirit come to dwell (I Cor. vi, 19, 20; John xiv, 17, 23), and all the redeemed are living stones built upon the foundation of Jesus Christ; the chief cornerstone, in whom all the building, fully framed together, groweth unto an holy, temple in the Lord, an habitation of God through the Spirit (Eph. ii, 19-22; I Pet. ii, 4, 5). The tabernacle and the temple might be desecrated and defiled, and they were; the individual believer also and the whole company of believers called the church may be defiled, but He who was the true tabernacle and temple, was never defiled by a sinful thought or word or act; He was without sin. He knew no sin. He did no sin. He was the Lamb of God without blemish and without spot. Therefore He could as such bear our sins by dying in our stead. "His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree" (I Pet. ii, 24). It is His own death and resurrection which He refers to in verses 18-22. They asked Him for a sign, and He told them that this would be the sign, just as at a later date He spoke of Jonah's experience as typical of His death and resurrection (Matt. xii, 38-40). In connection with the temple as a type of Himself it is most interesting and suggestive to note that in the thirty-fourth year after its completion it was desecrated and plundered by the king of Egypt (I Kings, vi, 37, 38; xiv, 25). It was probably in His thirty fourth year that He was crucified. As to His cleansing the temple, He did it again at the end of His ministry, as recorded in Matt. xxI, 12, 13, when He told them that they had made His house a den of thieves instead of a house of prayer. May He cleanse us from all that binders and make us as individual believers, all prayer. I like to think of His two dwelling places, heaven and the lowly heart of every penitent sinner (Isa. ivii, 15), and here is another answer to the question in last week's lesson, "Master, where dwellest thou?" The last two verses of our lesson chapter tell us that He did not believe in all who said they believed in Him. He knoweth them that are His. The word translated "commit unto" in verse 24 is the same word translated "believed" in verse 23. He considers our hearts and sees whether we are real and true of more FUNERAL DIRECTOR AND EMBALMER AUTOMOBILE SERVICE FREE.

The 50th anniversary of the First A. B. church was pleasantly observed during the past week. The sermons each night by the pastors, Revs. J. H. Thompson, James Whitaker, J. W. Este, M. M. Jefferson, S. C. Roberts and C. B. Burney were good, and the congregations and choirs of each church made a splendid showing. In the history of the church by Miss Hattle Jones a summary of the work accomplished for the half century was read and Rev. Jno. Williams, the former pastor, played well his part during the forty-two years of service. $212.25 was raised during the anniversary. Rev. H. F. Taylor, and members of the First A. B. Church, express their thanks to those who assisted and even wished the anniversary success. Rev. A. Parker, presiding elder of the Brunswick district, is making his first round for the conference year, reviewing the work of the District. Dr. Este at St. Paul made good in the first quarter. Rev. I. B. Harris at Payne Chapel and E. W. Johnson at St. James are on trial. Rev. Parker is happy over the record of the district, and is looking for great reports at Hawkinsville in November. Friendship Baptist church, of which the Rev. J. H. F. Martin is pastor, will soon be in line with the other leading churches of the city. A bell tower is being erected in which a bell will be placed and the members can go by the sound of their own bell. The members of Friendship are energetic of which their pastor should be proud. Mr. J. C. Dubignon is suffering from a fall from a scaffold from which he was dangerously hurt, but is much improved. Mr. Franklin Tison and Miss Sadie Dubignon were happily married a few weeks ago. The bride and groom arc natives of Brunswick and each being from a good family. Father Thompson of the Episcopal Church officiated. The couple is residing on Galiga's hill, at the home of Mrs. Anna Tison. This special request comes from the ministers of the city and all other rationally minded leaders, that the colored population of the city absent themselves from that most horrible play "Birth of a Nation" by Thomas Dixon, to be shown at the Grand opera Friday February 2, 1917. To see a review of the debauchery to the black man during the dark days of slavery could only brighten the enmity existing between the races in the South. The play is a blot upon civilization and to the extent that Jack Johnson in his victory at Reno, although a square deal could not be seen at the movies, the Negro should, to the same extent, refuse to see cruelties heaped upon him by his more favored brother. Remember the law of gravitation that to the extent of the pendulum of a clock swinging to the left, so it will go to the right.
