CLEAN-UP WEEK BEGINS MONDAY
CLEAN-UP WEEK BEGINS MONDAY
SEVERAL ORGANIZATIONS TO JOIN IN MOVEMENT School Children Asked to Help in Removing Rubbish
Both the Baptist and the Evangelical Ministers' Unions of the city, have taken an earnest hand in the campaign for a successful "Clean-up" week. Both organizations, always alive to the various matters of civic interest and social uplift, have passed practical resolutions and have determined upon plans for putting into execution among the members and others of their church communities a thorough program of house, yard and other cleaning during next week. Some have signified that they intend to make some inspection of their immediate communities to suggest improvements, and to see that the people keep the matter in mind.
Of course, the proposition is irresistible; our people are to derive a great benefit from it and its observance may have a more far-reaching effect than we may conjecture. It has been suggested that the movement may have the effect of emphasizing upon the city the lax of building ordinances which permit of such improper and inadequate housing, and that it may correct the somewhat general complaint of infrequent garbage removal in some sections.
The public school authority has given its sanction to the movement and will permit the schools to enter as largely into the campaign as the several principals deem wise, and thus it is expected that thousands of homes will be reached and interested to "clean-up" and to put on an adder charm and attractiveness.
The school children of the city, through the Junior Civic organizations, can have a tremendous influence in this "clean-up" program. They can do a great deal of the cleaning, and much to spread the news of the campaign. This is one of the purposes of their creation and will be a good test of their ability to do practical work. Through their teachers they will be able to determine upon a sensible and definite plan of procedure, and to their organizations they may report definite work accomplished.
Savannah, Ga., Feb., 27, 1917.
Resolved: That the Evangelical Ministers' Union does hereby express its unqualified and enthusiastic approval of the movement to observe "Clean-up" week, March 5-12, 1917.
That we call upon our people in the several districts and jurisdictions, of our churches, to put forth vigorous efforts to put their houses, yards and general surroundings in first-class sanitary condition.
That it is the sense of the body and the members hereof, make mention, at least, of the observance of said "clean-up" week, in their sermons of next Sunday, March 4, 1917.
That this resolution be published for general distribution and in The Savannah Tribune.
Respectfully
VIGILANCE COMMITTEE
J. S. Stripling
Savannah, Ga., Feb. 26, 1917
Whereas, the City of Savannah at large and through the various civic and welfare organizations has designated the week of March 5-12 next, a "Clean-Up" week, and
Whereas, they are urging the great mass of the people, white and colored alike, and their various organizations to enter intelligently, earnestly and rigorously into the matter, and
Whereas, this body is duly aware of the vital and supreme importance of such a movement to the health and welfare of all the people. Therefore be it
Resolved: That we, the Baptist Ministers' Union, do heartily endorse the movement, adopt the plans of carrying it into successful effect, and that we do further call upon the rank and file of all the people within our several districts, and jurisdictions to join-hands in a most effective campaign in observing "Clean-up" week.

Two Savannahians On Torpedoed Steamer
DAN ISRAEL AND ISAAC BOWMAN AMONG RESCUED CREW
Beth Men Well-Known to River Front Workers Here
Among the survivors on the trans-Atlantic liner LaConia which was sunk by a submarine while she was en route to Queenstown, England, from New York from which port she sailed February 18th and in which four Americans lost their lives, among them an American Negro fireman by the

DAN ISRAEL
name of Thomas Cassey, were Dan Israel and Isaac Bowman, both of 500 Olive street, this city.
Israel and Bowman who are well-known to local workers on the river front, left here together on January 27th, going to Philadelphia and from there to Providence. Both men, who are related, worked up North as firemen on coast-wise steamers and returned from Providence to New York where they secured work on the ill-fated steamer as firemen.
Nothing was heard from the two men by their wives who live at the Olive street address until the despatches in Tuesday's papers which told of their rescue.
Mrs. Israel and her daughter, wife of Isaac Bowman, were seen by a Tribune reporter Wednesday and they were very jubilant over the rescue of their husbands.

SUPREME COURT OF GA. HANDS DOWN DECISION Affirms Action of Fulton County Superior Court in Odd Fellows Matter
The Supreme Court of Georgia handed down a decision on last Wednesday affirming the action of Fulton county Superior court in appointing Jas. A. Branch receiver and B. J. Davis, assistant receiver over property and assets of the Georgia Odd Fellows. The case has been in the courts for about thirteen months and the decision of the Supreme court has been eagerly awaited by the thousands of Odd Fellows in the state. The case grew out of charges that were preferred against the executive board by several members of the order before the Sub-Committee of Management which is the managing body of the Odd Fellows in America. The outcome of the charges resulted in the revocation of the Georgia Grand Lodge charter and the suspension of the order for twelve months of B. S. Ingram of Macon, Ga., and B. J. Davis of Atlanta, grand master and grand secretary, respectively. The suspension of the two deposed officers was to expire January 15, 1917, but at a meeting of the Sub-Committee of Management held in Philadelphia, Pa., in January, Century Lodge of which Davis is a member was suspended. Several months ago Judge Bell of Atlanta appointed a receiver over the affairs and the case was appealed to the Supreme court by the trustees elected in this city in February 1916, the result of which was the upholding of this appointment by the higher court.
There are quite a number of deaths claims due all over the state and as a decision has been reached it is probable that the receiver will begin at once to pay them off. It is not likely that any further step will be taken in the matter until August at which time it is understood an attempt will be made to reorganize the state.

PAGE TWO
New York, Feb. 23—Whatever the forecasters of spring styles may disagree about, on one point they are more or less agreed, and that is that skirts will be narrower at the hem. There will be no flares whatever, and even if some skirts are not actually narrower they will at least appear so from the absence of the flare. Many skirts, however, are appreciably narrower. They measure from two to two and a quarter yards at the lower edge. When we compare these measurements with the three and four-yard skirts that were worn last spring, it leaves no doubt as to the change. From the Parisian openings, which are now being held, we hear that the narrow skirt is no longer a rumor, but a fact.
O MCCALL
A New Waist and Skirt
Separate skirts and blouses take on quite a good deal of importance this spring. The fact that separate skirts are in demand for sports wear will bring them very much into prominence. There are more skirts of sports skirts and satins than of any other skirting materials. The sports silk is one color effects, or in two shades with large spots or stripes on a neutral background, seem to be the most popular.
As for the blouses, we may witness a revival of the garden smocks, which took so strong a hold a summer or so ago. One of these recently seen was quite different from the smock as we knew it last summer. It was of tango-red crepe, long and loose, and slipped on over the head. It was shirred at the neck and at the shoulders along an oval line, which was emphasized by a piping of yellow crepe trimmed with wool embroidery. The smock hung unbelated over the skirt to the knees; after the manner of most garden smocks. The red and yellow combination in this smock showed the influence of the Indian colorings, one of the new notes in sports clothes. Indian embroideries on sports coats
© MCCALL
Dress of Fine Voile with Irish Crochet Collar of heavy cream-colored silk make very attractive trimming and they are also effective en coats of dark blue serge. These embroideries are worked in silks or heavy mercerized cottons in very bright colorings with a number of colors mixed together. As this is to be a spring and summer of high colors, these embroideries will, in all probability, take very well. Parasols and bags to match the costumes show-
ing such embroideries are also to be had to complete the finishing touches. Some very dainty georgette blouses show the Indian colorings embroidered on pale blue, orchid, white or flesh; with deeps bands on the sleeves and across the front, showing one of the forms of trimming in which this embrodery appears.
The sketch of a waist and skirt shows one of the Paisley chiffon waists combined with plain chiffon and a skirt of broadcloth, with pockets at the side gores and two box pleates at the center back.
Voile a Leading Fabric
A great deal of wool and muslins will be used this spring. The counters of the store are already overflowing with volles of all descriptions; plain, sprigged, figured, striped and checked. Bordered materials, too, will have a place among the fashionable fabrics, whether printed or embroidered and whether of cotton or silk.
Plain voile combined with linen in a matching color has been used in the fashioning of some of the advanced spring dresses, and, though unusual, the combination is entirely pleasing. A very pretty model was made with a long Russian blouse of voile edged with a deep band of linen and having the neck and sleeves finished with narrow bands ow linen. The skirt was made entirely of linen with the blouse worn over it. These costumes in pale blue, sand and white were given in contrasting touch by embroidery on the neck and front of the waist.
Collarless necks in square, round and oval outlines are being offered by the creators of styles; but these are not universally becoming, and fortunately those who cannot wear them can take refuge in the high or the soft, rolled collar, one or the other of which may be depended upon to suit every face. Some of the very newest collars are high, with a large turn-over portion doubled back and extending below the base of the collar in a rounded outline.
One of the styles in low collars which still remains popular favor in seen in the sketch. The collar is of Irish crochet on a dress of fine rollle, which is simply made with a gathered waist and a tucked skirt. For the light fabrics of spring and summer the tucked models are always good.
YOU'RE RAISING A FALSE ALARM BROTHER
Bricklayers, Masons and Plasterers:
In your issue of November, in an editorial squib, headed "The North 'Calls' the Negro," you say the immigrant is better fitted for Northern conditions than the Negro. I beg to differ with you on this point. Any American who can speak the language, and knowing the costumes, would be better suited to work in any part of the country that an immigrant who comes from a country where everything is different. You also say this has upset the equilibrium of the North by setting up a new competitor for the white man. Is it not better that the Negro be a competitor than the foreigner? What the Negro makes in wages is spent in America, his home, and what the immigrant makes, in wages is sent to his loved ones at his home, wherever it may be. You say "that if the American employer would put more trust in machinery and less in cheaply-bought brute strength, it would cause a great social gain." What's to become of the unskilled laborer if these conditions are brought about? Why not say a machine to lay brick. These men have got to live just like we have. I don't see why this great social gain was not thought of until the Negro went North. You say that some of the southern states do not object to the heavy requisition of the Negro populations. If my memory serves me right, in all Southern states the law prohibits the movement of Negroes in large numbers to other states. Please tell me the states where there is no objection? You say the Federal authorities should give this migration instant attention. Why not apply this to the immigrant, who is a greater menace than the Negro will ever be? I submit that such an editorial, by such a journal, was harmful and insulting to a race of people. I do not believe you would use the editorial against any other race. The colored American is so situated that an editorial of this kind is bound to increase disrespect for him and his rights and increase race prejudice. There is a feeling abroad among colored bricklayers that the I. L. for all its high talk, is unfriendly to the race and does not care for their membership. This editorial seems to bear out that feeling. I have no idea you will retract or correct it, but I wish to inform you that you have added another straw to the burden being born by an already overburdened race.—Herb. Harris, No. 17 Ky.

Woman's Exchange
The latest and probably the greatest enterprise that looms up bright on the business horizon is a WOMAN'S EXCHANGE. What a difference this will make in the pleasure, comfort and economic conditions in this community. Such an agency has been a long felt want and, alas! It is gratified. A woman's exchange is not a new idea, the better class of white people have maintained an exchange for a number of years. Its advantages have in some way been withheld from the general public. But now we have it with us, and it is up to you to take advantage of its service. The alertness and ambition of one of our young business women has made this possible, and by her skillful management has given a tremendous emuetus to the enterprise. It is founded on sound business principles, and has come to stay. Every detail has been thoroughly planed and convincingly demonstrated. Just think, here is a place where you can buy all kinds of hand-made necessities and where you can sell the little articles that you have made in your spare time. Every woman should learn about this efficient accommodation. Tell your friends and at our earliest convenience go around to Mine Fields-Vouting's, 135 W. 132 St.

Lesson VIII.—First Quarter, For Feb. 25, 1917.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, John v, 1-15—Memory Verses, 8, 9—Golden Text, John Ix, 4—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
While the lesson assigned to us today covers only fifteen verses, we must consider, as far as possible, the whole of this wonderful chapter concerning Him who is the fountain of living waters and the only judge of all mankind. These feasts were all originally "feasts of the Lord" (Lev. xxiii, 2, 4, 44), but they had degenerated into mere religious formalities as feasts of the Jews. Jesus attended them because there He found opportunities to teach and to heal, and it was His custom to go everywhere preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing all sickness and disease (Matt. iv, 23). The scene of the healing of our lesson was at a pool in Jerusalem called Bethesda, which was by the sheep market or, as in the margin and the Revised Version, the sheep gate. Bethesda means house of mercy, but mercy can only be found in Him of whom the sheep gate is so suggestive, the Lamb and the sheep of Isa. llli, 0, 7, on whom all our iniquities were laid, the Lamb of God, who taketh away sin. It is interesting to note that the building of the wall by Nehemiah began and ended at the sheep gate (Neh. ill, 1, 32).
This pool, with its troubled waters, was as useless for a really impotent person as were the feasts of the Jews to help any one, for he must needs be a lively impotent who would get in first. The poor, hopeless impotent of our lesson had his infirmity thirty-eight years, and we remember that the infirmities of Israel in the wilderness lasted just thirty-eight years (Deut. ii, 14), and only the Lord Himself could and did deliver Israel. Without help from any mortal man or without ever touching the pool this poor impotent was made whole, for surely the fountain is better than the pool, and there is none other who can do aught for the really impotent, and such we all are, for the whole world is guilty before God, and there is not one thing that we can do, not one step that we can take toward the righteousness which God requires.
We can only plead our guilt and utter helplessness, and then comes from Him the word of life and health, and we become justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (Rom. ill, 19-24). As it is stated in verse 24 of our lesson chapter, hearing Him word and receiving Him we have everlasting life, have passed from death to life, and shall not come into judgment for our sins. The Judge Himself says so (verse 22), and that settles it. This is the life that is given to all the dead in sins who now receive Him, and the hour still continues, though it has already lasted nearly 1,000 years (verse 23). The other hour of verses 28, 29, will last 1,000 years and will begin with the resurrection of the righteous at the coming of Christ (I Thess. iv, 10-18; Luke xiv, 14) and will end with the resurrection of the rest of the dead for the great white throne judgment (Rev. xx, 5, 6, 11-15). Note some of the testimonies of Him who alone can give life, before whom all sickness flees and to whom all judgment has been committed: The Son can do nothing of Himself; the Father loveth the Son and sheweth Him all things that Himself doeth; the Father hath committed all judgment unto the Son; he that honoreth not the Son honoreth not the Father which hath sent Him; I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me; the Father Himself hath sent me; I am come in my Father's name; had ye believed Moses ye would have believed me, for He wrote of me (verses 19-23, 30, 37, 43, 46). Yet this is the man whom they sought to kill, accusing Him of breaking their Sabbath and of making Him equal with God.
One would think that His words and His works would have convinced them (verse 36). But when people allow themselves to be blinded by the devil he does his work very thoroughly. When the truth is rejected God allows lies and strong delusion to grasp the heart (II Thess. ii, 9-12). One great blindance to believing God is the temptation to seek honor from men rather than from God only (verse 44), the desire to be held in esteem by our fellows because of learning and scholarship, the unwillingness to be wholly for God and seek in all things only His approval. Jesus Christ came in His Father's name seeking in all things to glorify Him, and all His words and works were the Father's through Him. But there is one coming in His own name, and it may be soon, who will exalt himself and whom all the world will worship except those whose names are in the book of life (verse 43, with Dan, xl, 36; II Thess. ii, 3, 4).
Israel's trouble and that of the whole world can only be remedied by Him who healed the impotent man at Bethesda, and He will come in His power and glory to do it. But the other man, the man of sin, the devil's man, must get in his work first. Before this wicked one shall be fully manifested the church, the hindrance to the full manifestation of the devil's power, must be taken away (II Thess. 11, 7, 8).

Among the Masons
No codition is so putent to awake ns
to our helpfulness as to be confined to
a bed of sickness. No condition makes
a man of tender heart more grateful
for a little kindness. Men in health,
nomnal condition, priding themselves
on their strength of mind and body,
become like the clinging vine when the
sick hed claims them.
All the beauties of — tentperament,
of heart, of soul and intellect are
strengthened, revivified and renewed
“when physical helplessness _rnles.
Flowers, mute messengers of nature
to delight men’s sonls, whose beauty
and fragrance permeqte their being,
Ml men with greater love of nature
and mankind when they ornament the
room of the invalid, And the lonz
hours of pain and suffering so melt
the heart and being that thoxe dittle
attentions that in health seem weak
become the strongest of factors in the
expression of gratitude when physical
strength departs, and the tender word
of sympathy, spoken by a brother in
the hour of our weakness is sometimes
cherished as long as memory lasts. It
may arouse the drooping spirit and
give renewed, added courage and for-|
€itude to face conditions and combat
disease
The soft and tender clasp of the
hand. the cherry salutation from a vis-
‘iting brother, the word of hope and en-
courasement sometimés is a more
Powerful factor toward recovery than
the medicine proscribed by the pht-
sician. and gives ns renewed faith and
hope in ourselves, and leads us to have
confidence in our kind and greater
faith and hope in the future, that we
have something to look forward to,
and that there i indeed, ssmpathy and
Jove, man for man, and“that the great
universal brotherheod is not a myth, |
To feel that those who might love
rand admire us in our health and
strength hare not forgotten us in our
hour of tribulation and of weakness.
Pause and reflect. how much good one
small kindly act of brotherly attention
may do towards alleviating the con-
ition of an afflicted brother.
Think how it may encourace and
sustain him, and then ask yourself
the question, how often have I per-
formed my duty in that regard.
Perhaps deep down in the bottom
of your being yon have” experienced
that fecling called grafitude to Tim,
who rules the destiny of mankind;
gratitude that you enjoy the blessing
of health and happiness and are not
Pelpless. 2s your unfortunate brother,
and perkaps yon may return to those
who nrenear and dear to you with a
prayer of thanksgiving” that you are
blessed with the hoon of health and

which permit you to care for them as

There is glory in being a ian in
all the true sense of manliness; glory
iu well exemplifying Masonic and
Knizhtly manhood, and glory in so
living that the epitaph must be: “He
was a Man—Great and Good. Loving
God he greatly loved his Fellowmen.”
_ Wealth may flow in streams to such
a man, yet he will not swell with
pride, nor scorn the humblest of his
fellows. Honors may come unsought,
and titles’ unwished may be conferred
ly loving friends and brethren, but
they will beget no yanity, and, when
the insignia of office has been jaid
aside, there will not”be manifest any)
of the spirit of eminent, or most em-
inent, superiority over him who has
done his Masonie duty but has not
received Masonte titles or jewels, The
Man, in the true and noble sense, is
what‘ Freemasonry regards, and
“Great and Good.Man” is the highest
honor and title that Freemasonry can
bestow.
The Lambskin
The lambskin, or white leather ap-
‘ron, is an embfem of Innocence, and the
distinguixded badge of a Macon. You
wil observe it is not rounded, but a
perfect square, and its right angles in-
euleate fruth and honesty, the great
lessons of morality. Its four equal
sides are to remind the wearer that
‘in Innocence he is to practice the four
cardinal v¥irtues—temperance bP word
and act, fortitude in a noble purpose.
prudence in wisely judging and jus-
tice to the humblest and greatest alike.
‘Its flap is ah equilateral — triangle,
whose three sides refer to the three
attributes of God—Gmulscience, Om-
nipotence, and Omnipresence. ‘Fhe
two strings remind us that reverence
for, thé presence of, the Masonie vir-
tures inculeated by the apron should
be hound to the heart and conscience
hy double ties of love to God and
man, The apron with its flap. rep-
resent the material, and the spiritual.
The numbers of the anron’s sides, con-
stitute the sacred number, seven, which
is called a perfect number, it makes
up the perfect fizures of a square and
triangle. The numbers also refers to
the seven liberal arts of science, much
revered among Masons, and which ac-
cordiag to the legend of the craft were
the foundation of Masonry, There is
one peculiar sienificance about the
lambskin, and that is, it is one of the
fit symbols of the Masonic life, and
also the last, when deposited in the
grave of a departed brother. Brethren,
think of the lambskin, and ponder

Saturday March 3, 1917
THE WAR GOSSIP-MONGER Frederick Palmer, said to be the most Lightly credited American war correspondent, up to the close of 1916, has written an illuminating book, entitled "My Second Year of the War," which is just issued from the press and which puts the great English army and the government behind it, in more favorable light than that in which the average, loose-thinking American holds them.
The importance of Mr. Palmer's account results from his great opportunity to see and know the "inside" of things. Sir Douglass Halg gave Mr. Palmer the liberty of the army in camp and a-field the privilege of criticising and trusted him not to "give military information to the enemy." These were valuable facilities for studying military events.
The story is not spent in generalities of horrors and heroism; it is unusual in that it is not overdone with dramatic detail. It rather deals with the specifics: orders, counsels, summaries of achievements and losses; it is statistical, informational—a comprehensive and chronological record.
It furnishes the sort of information which many Americans need—those who are wont to speak so dogmatically in war discussions. Dealing in purely military tactics, it tells the parts the various members of the Allied ranks are playing in the various definite offensives.
To illustrate the shallowness of the average American, unwilling to make the sacrifice necessary to inform himself accurately, we quote the remarks of a certain glib talker on war topics,—a person of about average intelligence—"Well, this war has been going on for three years and England has done absolutely nothing." This reckless and ungarded remark is indicative of the inaccuracy and general ignorance of his subject of the average too-liberal "observer" on the war situation. He does not know that the various movements of the Allied Armies are determined upon at Commanders' Conferences—there is decided the part each army is to play—; he does not know how the various army units are being trained, molded and managed for particular tasks; he does not know that the English front, over a period of eighteen months' careful campaigning and studied aggression, has been extended from seventeen miles to twenty miles, to forty, to seventy and to one hundred, against the most stubborn resistance and in the face of the most deadly machines-of-war the world has ever seen.
In fact, he usually knows little or nothing. The war is not three years old.
THE HOUSE-WIFE THE SOLUTION
As was pointed out in a Tribune editorial of several weeks ago—(under title "The Remedy, The Economical House-Wife") the nation is turning to the ingenuity of the thinking house-wife to solve the problem of high living cost. In some centers, she is organizing boycotts on various necessities quoted at prohibitive and unwarranted prices; in others she is making her appeal (as only women can appeal) to the municipal authorities to take a hand in the market game; she is cutting down on unless expenditures for extravagant dress and profligate amusement and keeping this element of household expenses upon a sensible basis; and greater than all, she is studying the high-market conditions
sary food values, and is spending her portion of the modest family income to good advantage. She finds she must plan a week ahead, or a month, may be, instead of from day to day, as formerly—under lower prices and a possible greater variety of food-stuffs. From far away California, a magazine in its March number, is found advocating the very same measure advocated by us for families of modest income, viz: Absolute elimination of unnecessary luxury, and extravagant amusement, and sensible and
economical purchases of the necessary food products, and always—upon a cash basis. It begins to appear that the modern housewife is succeeding—in some large centers at least, the government is going into the food business, to furnish foodstuffs at cost.
COMENDS URBAN LEAGUE
In the Morning News of February 25th, in the column captioned "Civic Department" for which the Huntingdon Club stands sponsor, there appeared a very pleasing observation of the work of the local branch of the Urban League. On the Sunday before, in the very same column, reference was made to the League's work. The Urban League is modestly trying to practice the great purpose of co-operation for community uplift, and in doing so has from time to time found it mutually advantageous to co-operate with various white organizations in the city, with splendid results for the work of both parties at interest. Among the foremost of these organizations may be mentioned the Huntingdon Club, The Associated Charities and the Juvenile Court. Like these, too, the Urban League has proceeded upon the principle of "Not Alms but Opportunity" as a cure for most social evils.
The following is the article above ferred to under the head of "Work of Urban League. "The Civic Department received recently a communication from the Savannah Branch of the National League on Urban Conditions, an organization composed of colored people, in which attention is called to the fine work this society is doing in the city.
The league does a great deal of charitable work and also much civic. Last year they distributed Christmas baskets and helped many poor people in various ways. They also supplied forty-three families with wood during last winter. A yard-cleaning contest was inaugurated (inspired by the Civic Department of the Huntingdon Club) and prizes were given. The influence of this was far-reaching and lasting. The league maintains several boys' and girls' clubs and does splendid social work along uplift and moral lines. Lectures on health and sanitation are given regularly by a prominent Savannah physician. This organization deserves much credit for its good work and promises to accomplish splendid results among the colored people of the city.

NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITOL
Washington, D. C., March 1—One of the capitol's most helpful and progressive institutions is the Inter-State Old Folks' Home at 1512 Corcoran street. It is planned by the promoters and sponsors to be a comfortable retreat for the aged of both sexes, who may have no relatives and friends to look after them when their period of activity is about to draw to a close. Provision is made, not only for old folks without means, but the management, conscious of the fact that there are many persons in easy circumstances who have aged kin or dependents for whom they have no adequate accommodations in the places where they may themselves abide. An institution where these loved one can be cared for in a satisfactory way and where they may be surrounded with all the comforts of home, fills a long-felt want and solve many a perplexing problem as to what to do with their old folks.
Just such an institution is the Inter-State Old Folk's Home. It was incorporated a few years ago by a group of public-spirited citizens of Washington for the relief of the old, infirm and indigent people of America. While inaugurated largely by Baptists, the institution is broader than denominational lines, it is absolutely non-sectarian in practice and national scope. It is now housed in a magnificent and commollous mansion in the heart of one of the best residential sections of the District of Columbia.

In Memory
In loving but sad memory of my devoted wife and our loving mother, Mrs J. A. Wicks, who departed this life February 28, 1913.
Twas the voice of our dear mother,
Full of love and sympathy;
That so often cheered our hearts,
When sad and lone.
To our memory comes a vision,
That our hearts can never forget;
Of our mother with her tender care
Four years ago she departed. Still we feel her spirit near; On,a higher plain she now dwells. And with her soul we know it's well. Mr. Edward Wicks, (hu-band) Mrs. E. R. Dennis, (daughter) Mrs. Lula L. Allen, (daughter) Mr. Arthur Ed. Wicks, (Son) New York City Mr. William Allen, (son-in-law) In sad but loving memory of a devoted mother, who departed this life March 2, 1914. Gone but not forgotten.
Dear is the grave in which she is laid.
Sweet is the memory that never will fade;
Heart of our life is buried deep.
Under the sod where she peacefully sleeps.
God called her home, it was His will.
But in our hearts we love her still;
Her memory is as dear today,
As in the hour she passed awey.
She is gone to be with Jesus,
So who would wish her here;
We would not dim her radiant lot,
With mortal satin or tear,
For she is folded safely,
Upon that gentle breast;
Where many a weary lamb of earth,
Has found eternal rest.

Mrs. Edward Butler

In loving remembrance of Mr. R. H. Harris, our father and husband, who departed this life Sunday February 25th at 6 o'clock. He had been sick eight months but now he is better off. Sleep on and take your rest.
One precious to our heart has gone.
The voice we loved is stilled;
One place made vacant in our home
Can never more be filled.
Our father in His wisdom called.
The boon His love had given;
And though on earth the body lives
The soul is safe in heaven.

Lesson IX.—First Quarter, For March 4.1917.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, John vi, 1-21—Memory Verses, 10, 11—Golden Text, Matt. vi, 11—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
This miracle of the feeding of 5,000 men, besides women and children, with a few loaves and fishes is the only miracle recorded in each of the four gospels and seems to me to set before us the one thing which believers ought to be doing, and that is to give the bread of life to every creature, for the gospel of God concerning His Son is a trust committed to us to use for the benefit of others, and if we are not faithful in the ministration of the trust it will prove a serious matter for believers at the judgment seat of Christ. If any should ask, What can I do about it? let such remember that the bread and fish of this miracle came from a little boy and was possibly his lunch which his mother had given him, but it came into the hands of the Lord Jesus, and He multiplied it and used it. I believe these facts are the reason why of all that has been wrought in and through my church and Bible classes for over twenty-five years, for I asked Him to let me be like one of the boy's loaves, in His hands to be blessed and broken and passed on to help feed hungry thousands. And has He not wrought wondrously?
Any one who is willing He will accept and use as He shall see fit. The second part of our lesson, the tolling disciples in the dark night with a contrary wind and He on the mountain praying is so suggestive of this whole age during which we are in the conflict with the world, the flesh and the devil, but He is at the right hand of the Father for us. He sees us tolling, and in the morning watch He will come, and we will be suddenly at our destination, forever with the Lord. It was Passover time, a great feast of the Lord to commemorate their deliverance from Egypt, but it had become merely a feast of the Jews. Not until Israel shall deliver the second time and the ration be reborn and the Passover be fulfilled in the kingdom shall the whole world hear of the Living Bread, for then shall Israel blossom and bud and fill the face of the earth with fruit (Isa. xxvil, 6).
In the meantime we who are redeemed should be wholly occupied in giving the Bread of Life as far and as fast as possible to complete His church and bring the morning of His return. He is, as then, full of compassion toward the multitudes and is saying to us, "Give ye them to eat" (Matt. xiv, 16; Mark vi, 37; Luke lx, 13); but, like the disciples, many prefer to send them away as if it was no concern of ours. Some, like Philip and Andrew, talk of what might be done if we had the money or speak of what is in sight as wholly insufficient to accomplish anything, forgetting that the silver and the gold are IIs, and He always knows what He intends to do and how He is going to do it, and He cannot fall nor be discouraged, for He shall see of the travail of IIs soul and shall be satisfied (Isa. xll, 4; lill, 11). He did not say that He would begin or make the attempt or endeavor to build His church, but He said, "I will build My church" (Matt. xvi, 18), and all IIs "wills" are as good as accomplished, for every purpose of the Lord shall be performed, and no thought of IIs can be bindered (Ps. xxxll, 11; Isa. xiv, 24; Jer. ll, 29; Job xll, 2, margin). Instead of the people receiving each a little food, as Philip had suggested, they were all filled, and twelve baskets full remained over, for He would have all eat and drink abundantly (verses 1, 12, 13; Song v, 1). The limitations are all on our side, not on IIs, for He does everything abundantly, whether it be pardon or giving life or an entrance into His kingdom (Isa. lv, 7; John x, 10; II Pet. 1, 11).
It does seem strange from our standpoint that the multitudes should be sent away in peace for a night of rest and those who had ministered to them be sent out into a night of tempest and toll and perplexity while He who knew all and did all and was full of compassion for all was away in the mountain alone talking over things with His Father. As we shall see in our next lesson (verse 57), and we cannot call too much attention to it, He ever lived by the living Father who had sent Him, and we are not as right as we might be in our daily life with Him unless He is all in all to us, as the Father was to Him (Col. ill, 11). His doings and leadings often cause us fear, but His word to His disciples is always: "Be of good cheer. It is I; be not afraid" (Matt. xiv, 27; Mark vi, 50). His own good cheer was His Father's absolutely perfect will, and when we can truly say that we always accept His will concerning us as perfect we shall walk on the waves of all circumstances without sinking, for His perfect love will cast out all fear, and He never gives a spirit of fear (I John, iv, 18; II Tim. i, 7). Inwardly we should always be saying, "Not I, but Christ," and concerning all things outward, whether people or circumstances, we may have grace to say, as Joseph did to His brethren, "It was not you, but God." We may continually dwell in God and in His love, singing "My home is God," and let Him dwell in us and work in us both to will and to do.

WHAT ATLANTA UNIVERSITY MEANS TO THE SOUTH
Wholesome Negro Leadership
The graduates of Atlanta University live in all parts of the south. More are engaged in teaching than in any other profession, but wherever they live they carry the spirit of the institution and an influence that makes for wise and conservative leadership. What would it mean to the northern communities if we were to eliminate the men and women of college training? Their influence is needed to help raise the standards of living and to help create worthy ideals of social responsibility; this is all the more true of the Negro communities in the South. The South is experiencing a remarkable material development and the Negro race is surely coming into its share of the inheritance of material things. This must be so. In fact, it is already so to some degree. Did it ever occur to you what a misfortune is would be to have these people possess the influence and power which goes with material possessions, unless they are guided and controlled by others than selfish ideals. There is too much selfishness and arrogance already. It is easier to make fifty cents or one hundred dollars than it is to spend wisely for one's best welfare and for the welfare of the community. The graduates of Atlanta University exert a restraining and elevating influence upon the public opinion of the communities in which they live.—The Bulletin.
KNIGHTS OF-PYTHLAS
TO MEET IN ST. LOUIS
messy afternoon when Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green of New Orleans, La.. approved of the guarantee put up by the local committee and signed the formal agreement. The convention will meet five days during next August and will bring to St. Louis forty thousand visitors.
Mr. Green was accompanied to St. Louis by Sir Jos. L. Jones of Cincinnati, O., supreme vice chancelor; Major General R. R. Jackson, of Chicago, Ill., and Supreme Attorney S. A. T. Watkins of that city. They formed the supreme lodge committee whose duty it is to approve the arrangements and guarantees for the biennial conventions. In company with members of the local committee, these gentlemen called upon the mayor of the city and the secretary of the Bureau of Conventions and were assured of the full backing of the city's merchants and business men. So cordial was the welcome which they received and so flattering were the promises and guarantees made that there was no hesitancy in signing up on the part of the supreme committee.
The Supreme Lodge and its auxiliary bodies is by far the largest conclave of race people who meet in America. The adherents of the order number more than one hundred and fifty thousand, and come from every section of our country as well as from beyond the sea. Ten thousand men in uniform will be encamped within the city and their parades, drills and other maneuvers attract vast crowds from every quarter. Special will be necessary every day and the city will be taxed to its utmost capacity to take care of the visitors.
The local committee is working like beavers already to have everything in readiness by next August. A splendid spirit of harmony preades all their efforts and things are beginning to hum. Donations of money are being received from merchants and others who realize what an opportunity for earning money such a convention will bring to St. Louis.

Inelement weather and strong counter attractions militated against the success of the mid-winter fair at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church by Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, week of February 16, for the benefit of the National Training School for Women and Girls. Yet the affair must be voted a big success. Mme. Anita Patti Brown, Chicago's famous coloratura soprano, Clarence Cameron White, the celebrated violin virtuoso, Col. Roscoe Simons, the peerless orator together with the folk song of the training school, combined to make a program of rare richness and variety throughout the season of five nights. The girls sold over $500 worth of tags and many private subscriptions went far to swell the receipts of the campaign, which was for $3,000.

SNYPE—DUNBAR
Miss Sarah Snype and Mr. A. Dunbar were married on last Wednesday night at Mt. Bethel Baptist Church, the pastor, Rev. W. A. Daughtry, officiated. The church was packed to its capacity and many of the anxious throng had to remain outside in order to get a glimpse at the bridal party. At about nine o'clock the party arrived at the church and on entering the four ushers, Mr. Clarence Dukes, Mr. Henry Dukes, Mr. P. A. Deveaux and Mr. Sidney Atkins, led the procession, followed by the two flower girls, little Lucile Washington and little Everlena Mungin. Immediately behind them came the maid of honor, Miss Virginia Edwards. Next came the groom and his best man, Mr. J. Tolbert. The bride then entered on the arm of her father, Mr. W. M. Snype. The wedding march was played by Mr. Alonzo Green. The bride wore a white satin trimmed with silver lace and also wore a cap veil; she carried a bunch of bridal roses. She was very charming in the outfit. The maid of honor was becomingly gowned for the occasion as were the two flower girls. After the ceremony the party and guests repaired to the home of the bride's parents, 621 Bryan street, west, where the reception was held. Many useful presents were received by the happy couple.
