The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXII BETH EDEN WILL BURN MORTGAGE ZEALOUS WORK DONE BY THE CHURCH CLUBS Debt of $12,000 Paid Rev. Clarke Accomplishes Much Good During Pastorate Here Beth Eden Baptist church, Lincoln and Gordon streets, will hold a thanksgiving and mortgage burning celebration next week, beginning Monday night and ending on the following Monday night wi a rosing mortgage burning meeting. The effort of the church during the past few years to liquidate its indebtedness has received city wide recognition and is one of the most commendable pieces of church work that has recently come to local attention. Beth Eden church is pastored by the Rev. N. M. Clarke who was called to its pastorate about four years ago. He is one of the strongest of the local Baptist preachers and has accomplished much in local religious circles. It was mainly through his efforts that the church today is free of indebtedness. Aside from carrying along the incidental expenses of the church, he has paid off in the past three years the entire loan indebtedness which amounted to approximately twelve thousand dollars. Rev. Clarke is the fourth pastor the church has had. The first was the Rev. Alexander Ellis who established the church. He was followed by the Rev. Kemp who was succeeded by Rev. Cannon. The complete program for the week's celebration is published on the seventh page of this issue of The Tribune. LOCAL SONG WRITER SCORES BIG HIT J. A. Monroe's Song Being Used By Big Music Company "Excuse Me Mister Uncle Sam," written by J. A. Monroe of this city, is scoring a big hit intthis city and elsewhere throughout the country. The song, both words and music, is the composition of Mr. Monroe who is a popular postman of this city, and the music was arranged by his sister, Miss Amabel I. Monroe. The song is catehy, tuneful and brimful of harmonious chords which catch the car upon first sound. It is being used by one of the big white musical companies on the road "Watch your Step" which played at the Savannah theatre several months ago. It is the last word in songs of its class and is being handled here exclusively by the Murphy music house, 203 East Broughton street. MME. ANITA PATTI BROWN HERE TUESDAY NIGHT Will Appear Under Auspices of Young Men's Christian Association Mme. Anita Patti Brown, the leading soprano soloist of the race, will appear at the First Bryan Bautist church, Tuesday night, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. This is Mme. Brown's second appearance in this city and no doubt a packed house will hear her. The price of admission to the recital will be 25 cents. Local talent will also appear on the program. LARKIN-DAWSON The marriage of Mrs. Amanda P. Larkin of Savannah to Rev. F. J. Dawson of Baltimore, Md., took place at the home of the bride, 513 Hartridge street and was performed by Rev. A. L. Johnson of St. James A. M. E. church. The home was decorated with beautiful ferns and potted plants. The bride's dress was of steel gray volle trimmed with white Irish lace. She carried a bouquet of bride roses. On Sunday March 4th at 5 p. m. many friends were invited to the home of the bride and groom to a reception. The couple received many useful presents.

Holds Big Theatre Meeting BUILDING FUND RECEIVES SUBSTANTIAL BOOST Several Ringing Addresses Made for the Cause By far one of the largest Sunday audience ever present at the Pekin theatre, gathered there on last Sunday to learn of the proposed work of the Y. M. C. A. and to give its new building fund campaign, just launched, a substantial push. The meeting was full of life and judging by the frequency and heartiness of the applause given each speaker, the time is not far distant when the officers and members of this worthy institution will realize the successful termination of their effort to place upon the streets of Savannah a first class and commodious Y. M. C. A. building. The meeting was presided over by the president of the association, Prof. S. A. Grant, who was able assisted in staging the meeting by Vice President H. T. Singleton, Dr. E. W. White, chairman of the programme committee, Messrs. Duckett, White, Dorsey, Doyle, Searles, Bowen and others of the general membership. Among those who appealed on the program and made effective addresses were Rev. R. V. Branch of St. Phillip A. M. L. church, Rev. J. S. Stripling of Asbury M. E. church, Rev. E. W. White of St. Paul C. M. L. church, Rev. T. J. Goodall of First A. B. Church, Pres. R. R.Wright of the Ga. State College; Prin. J. W. Hubert, of the Cuyler Street school and Mrs. M. L. Harper, president of the Ladies' Auxiliary. Excellent music for the occasion was rendered by the Tabernacle Baptist Choir, Mrs. Daisy Blair and the Black and Tan orchestra under the leadership of Mr. J. H. Green. Subscription to the building fund was taken and resulted as follows: The foregoing added to the subscriptions already made, gives the building fund a substantial boost.

Gilbert, D. D., died at his home at Nashville Tenn. It was not generally known that he was in poor health. Recently he was in the city, the guest of Rev. and Mrs. T. J. Goodall, and spent about two weeks in Florida. He returned to Nashville the Saturday before he died. The death of Rev. Gilbert removes from the ranks of the Baptist ministers one of the ablest and best informed men in that denomination. He was the first pastor of the F. A. B. church, Bolton street, immediately after the withdrawal of the members from the First A. B. church. He remained here several years. Since then he pastored several of the leading churches in the country. At the time of his death was pastor of the First Baptist church, Nashville. The funernii took place in Jacksonville, Fla., last Sunday. Dr. Gilbert is survived by his wife, daughters and two sons.[65] Mr. W. H. Peyton left on Thursday afternoon for New York, from where he will go to Newark, N. J. for an indefinite stay. T. Singleton, the well-known insurance man, who is chairman of the campaign committee and Rev. E. H. Quo, campaign manager. The management hopes that all subscriptions to the fund will be paid in promptly when the solicitor calls. The members of the ladies' auxiliary plan to raise a substantial sum for the building fund during the campaign and under the leadership of Pres. M. E. Harper will perfect plans for the same at their meeting at the Y on tomor row. GAREY'S BAKERY REOPENED THURSDAY Garey's Bakery, 506 West Broad street, which suspended business several weeks ago, reopened Thursday. Mr. Joseph Garey, the proprietor, stated yesterday that the wagon trade would not be re-established and that only a shop counter business would be conducted. At the time the bakery suspended business there were several customers on the wagon routs, who still hold bread tickets. They may be redeemed by the owners any time they are presented at the shop. M. H. NICHOLS APPOINTED ASST. SUPERINTENDENT Mr. M. H. Nichols has been recently appointed assistant superintendent of the North Carolina Mutual and Providential Association with offices at 817 West Broad street. Mr. Nichols R has been with the company about ten years and is a very efficient insurance man. His promotion is well-warranted and he will be quite an asset to the management in his new position. The North Carolina Mutual is the largest Negro insurance company in the world, and it has just issued its eighteenth annual statement of the conditions of business which will be found elsewhere in this issue.

Interesting News From Nation's Capitol Interesting News From Nation's Capitol MU-SO-LIT CLUB HOLDS BIGGEST MEETING IN YEARS Many Visitors in City During Inauguration Week. Washington, D. C., March 14—The long-awaited inauguration has come and gone. Wars and rumors of wars, the high cost of living and the lack of political plums on the counter combined to make the crowd smaller than usual, but there were a great many folks here at that. The ceremonies were impressive and patriotism was in evidence everywhere, for the military was prominent and martial airs were favorites of the numerous bands in the line of march. Pennsylvania avenue was almost a continuous "court of honor," and the committee had spared neither pains nor expense to do the function along right lines. The attendance of colored visitors was not as large, yet the influx was of proportions that could be noticed. In the parade the First Separate Battalion, under command of Major James R. Walker and Capt. Arthur C. Newman, made a fine showing. The colored detail at the rear of the President's carriage attracted much attention. The colored High School Cadets were also warmly commended for their skill in military tactics, and the colored Boy Scouts made a highly creditable appearance. A female band added to the gayety of the occasion. The epsheuf of the social functions of the season was the inaugural ball at Convention ball, given under the auspices of the Oldest Inhabitants' Association of the District. The ball reflected great credit upon the organization. Many smaller social affairs made the week notable. The theaters did a record-breaking business. The return of the drama to the Howard stirred enthusiasm anew, and it is a pleasure to give out the report that the Quality Amusement Corporation's productions will be given two weeks in each month if all goes as at present planned. The inaugural season gave Washington a very pleasing sense of exhilaration. Mrs. Lucy A. Blagburn, the accomplished singer, leading soprano of the choir of the Metropolitan A. M. I. church, goes to Canton, O., this week to spend a vacation of several months with her brother and his family in that city. In addition to her musical work and domestic duties, Mrs. Blagburn has been holding down one of the most responsible desks in the office of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company. Mrs. Blagburn is being strongly supported for the post of matron in the public schools, and it is thought by her friends that her fitness for this calling will assure her election by the Board of Education when the time comes to make the appointment. She is public spirted and energetic and merits success in all of her undertakings and aspirations. The Mu-So-Lit Club's meeting was one of the brightest, biggest and best in its life of eleven years. There was something doing every minute from the hour President W. J. Singleton's gavel sounded for order until the wee sma hours when adjournment was suggested. The principal address of the evening was delivered by Rev. W. F. Martyn, of West Virginia, whose reputation in Washington as an orator is assuring him of crowds wherever he is announced for an address or a sermon. His theme was "A Call for Men" and he sounded a tocsin that made for action along with thought, purpose as a companion piece to humanity. Mr. Edgar Forrest, stage manager of the Quality Corporation, spoke instructively on "What the People of Washington can do to Perpetuate the (Continued on Page Seven) DR. EASON'S LECTURE WELL ATTENDED The lecture of Dr. J. H. Eason at Second Baptist church on Tuesday night last, was well attended. On this occasion the doctor proved himself a very able man and a great thinker. He attracted the attention of all his hearers. PARENTS—TEACHERS MEETING The parents-teachers association of the East Broad street school will meet at the school Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock. It is requested that all parents who can, will be out as matters of much interest will be discussed. OVER 500 NEGROES WAIT TO GO NORTH BIG CROWD AROUND UNION STATION THURSDAY Train Fails To Leave Rumor of Departure of Labor Train Brought Many to Scene Again false rumors as to the departure of the train carrying lawrers to Pennsylvania has been affloat and much activity in here on the part of those who are anxious to leave this part of the country. On Thursday more than five hundred Negro men were congregated at the Union Sation waiting for the train that was to take them away. The large crowd around the station attracted much attention and many inquires were made as to the cause of such activity: The police officers were on hand and were kept busy trying to keep the eager men and the spectators from blocking the side walks and other passages It was very noticeable that a large majority of these assembled at the station to be transported were from the rural districts and it is understood that many had come to the city the night previous in order to be on hand when the train left. Just how such a rumor got circulated could not be ascertained and an investigation by a Tribune representative revealed nothing authentic as to the rumor. The men who were questioned concerning the move had nothing definite to state and were unable to say from what source they gained their information, more than "we hear so." SAVH. FUEL & SUPPLY CO. HOLDS INTERESTING MEETING On Tuesday night a large and enthusiastic meeting was held at the Mechanics Saving's Bank by the Savannah Fuel and Supply Company, for the purpose of offering the public its remaining shares of stock. The meeting was well attended and almost half the shares offered the public were disposed of. During the course of the meeting the company's record was thoroughly brought to view by President Grant. A carefully compiled statement was also arranged by the secretary who, with the other officers, showed by the records the substantial growth of the business. A number of the prominent men of the city were present. They expressed themselves as being in most hearty accord with the movement and supported their assertion by becoming shareholders. A continuation of Tuesday's meeting will be held on Wednesday night. March 21, at the Mechanics Bank, to which all prospective shareholders and friends are invited. MR. EUGENE KINCKLE JONES TO ADDRESS CITIZENS Members of the executive committee and members of the Urban League and the public in general, are invited to an address by Mr. Eugene Kinckle Jones of New York City, national director of the Urban League, at league headquarters, W. Broad and Gwinnett lane, at 5 o'clock p. m., Wednesday, March 21. The monthly meeting of the executive committee will be held in connection therewith. Dr. Chas. Stewart, the "most traveled" man in the country, was in the city last Saturday and called to see us. RIVERS—ROBINSON The marriage of Miss Emma Rivers to Mr. J. D. Robinson, both of Atlanta, Ga., took place on Friday evening, March 9th, 1917 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Oprie, 520 Gwinnett street, west. The ceremony was performed by Rev. N. M.

Robinson are at home to their friends at 520 Gwinnett street, west. CAGE TWO Fashion Officers Straight Lines as Well as Barrel Effects this Spring SILK STRONGLY IN EVIDENCE New York, March 13. There will be two fashionable silhouettes this spring. The slim silhouette, with its straight, clining lines will continue to be first in favor, as it has been all through the winter, but the new barrel skirt will give women a chance to indulge in the bouffant effect, which will, donbtless, be welcomed by those who have complained of being tired of the eternal straight line. True to its name, the new silhouette is in the outline of a barrel, bulging at the hips and drawn in at the waist and ankles. There are many ways of accomplishing this puffiness over the hips. One is by the clever draping of the material at the waistline somewhat after the fashion of the "pegtop" skirts that were used some years ago. This type of barrel skirt is shown in the sketch, which illustrates © MOCALE Dress of Pongee Showing the New Silhouette a dress of figured pongee with sleeves and belt of plain pongee in natural color. The skirt narrows down to two yards at the hem; for the narrow skirt especially in this form, is to come in with the spring, fashion authorities say. This silhouette has also been named the "howling-pin;" and looking at the whole silhouette from shoulder to ankles, and not merely from the waist downward, the name is indeed most appropriate. A good many spring coats have taken on the lines of the new silhouette, showing that this effect is not restricted to dress only. A very smart model is fashioned with a deep band at the lower part, the fulness of the upper part gradually losing itself when it reaches the band. Machine stitching furnishes the finish of this coat, which is shown in the second sketch. The C. Y. ALLEN A small Spring Coat in Barrel Effect material is soft, spring-weight velours, one of the favored spring fabrics. Satin and a variety of Sills for Spring Perhaps the most generally favored of all fabrics this spring will be satin. It is to be used for one-piece dresses, for suits and for separate coats. This material will also be in demand for evening gowns and afternoon dresses and for these its popularity will be shared by charmeuse, which is very closely related to satin. The suits and dresses of satin will be decorated with braiding of embroidery, and much of the embroidery will carry out the Oriental colorings which are distinctly in vogue this season. There is a decided predominance of silks for spring. Among the silks for suits, poplin, rajah and tussur are strongly in evidence, and many novel ideas are noticed in the development of these materials. On a suit of gold-colored silk jersey, black velvet was used for a collar and for a band at the lower edge of the coat. Some suits of rajah silk are trimmed with stenciling in attractive color combinations. The stenciling is done on the front of the coats or only on the belts, just enough to furnish some contrast. This is one of the, very newest trimming ideas. In spite of the great vogue for colors in all of the brightest hues and in all manner of combinations, a great deal of black and white is used. When cleverly handled, this combination is always attractive, and it is again very fashionable in Paris and New York. Solid black and white checked materials with rather large checks are considered smart for coats, both for the long separate coats and for shorter coats to be worn with white serge skirts. The Importance of Ribbons Ribbons are coming in for a great deal of prominence this season. They are not used only for small accessories such as girdles and collars, but have become much more important and have been employed for parasols and hats Very wide striped ribbons combining three or more harmonizing colors have been used very effectively to make parasols and to cover the entire crown and top of the brim of light-weight straw hats for sports wear. Matching parasols, hats and handbags made of ribbon or the pretty figured silks, are seen over and over again. Narrow grosgrain ribbon is employed in rows, one overlapping the other, to cover the crowns and brims of some hats. Sometimes two colors are used alternately. The brim of a white panama hat was covered in this way with old gold and dark green ribbon, only the crown remaining in view to tell that the hat was a panama. An idea for remodeling your last year's panama, you will, no doubt, think! Another panama was faced with black velvet under the brim and the crown draped with black and white silk with a tassel placed at the side. NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITOL Drama through Colored Artists," and gave numerous workable solutions for the problem that is now vexing the lovers of the legitimate drama in this city. Mr. Eugene Elmore, manager of the Lafayette Theatre, New York, followed with a "straight from the shoulder" talk to the club as to the duty of the race to promote in every substantial way the development of the colored players in a field that gave dignity, culture and an opportunity for untold achievement for their people. Washington suffers a serious loss in the passing of that splendid character, Dr. Arthur S. Gray. His demise took place a few days ago, after an illness that covered a brief period as far as actual confinement to his home was concerned but was the culmination of many months of suffering. Dr. Gray was a gentleman and a scholar, in more than the perfunctory sense in which this term is often used. He was a genious—many sided in his accomplishments and tastes—yet in whose winning personality and unimpeachable life all elements were so happily blended as to make him a most exceptionable specimen of manhood. He was a native of Kansas and came to Washington after finishing a college course at the University of Kansas. Dr. Gray was a graduate of the law and of the pharmaceutical department of Howard University. For years he carried on in conjunction with his not less gifted wife, the largest pharmacy owned by the race in the District. The funeral services at Berean Baptist church were impressive to the last degree. Despite a heavy downpour of rain the church was crowded. The last sad rites were conducted by Rev. D. F. Rivers, whose eulogy was a masterpiece of eloquence and sweet sincerity. The tribute of Prof. Kelly Miller was a review of the virtues of mankind. The scripture lesson was read by Rev. J. Frances Gregory, of the People's Congregational church. The Masonic Order gave their ritual with reverential precision, led by Worshipful Master George M. Ambler, Dr. Gray leaves a widow, Mrs. Amanda V. Gray, like himself a pharmacist and leader in manifold activities that make for civic righteousness. Miss Gertrude N. Ryan, who established herself in New York a year or so ago as an expert in ladies' tailoring with one of Gotham's leading emporiums, is to remain in Washington throughout the present season. The policy of Editor Henry P. Slaughter of issuing the Odd Fellow's Journal but twice a month during the run of excessive prices on white paper, is giving satisfaction to the rank and file of the G. U. O. of O. F. Prof. Kelly Miller was an import- ant factor on the recent Negro Migration Conference in New York. The erudite dean of Howard University's Department of Arts and Sciences is in favor of the exodus of southern Negoes northward, provided they are industrious, sober and willing to weave themselves progressively into the life of their surroundings. There is no color-line in the District Department of the Women's Relief corps. Mrs. Julia West Hamilton was elected treasurer at last week's meeting of the Department at the Grand Armory hall. Mr. N. B. Wyche, of the Government Printing Office, and who is also a thrifty property-owner, is to resume his duties as the Washington correspondent of the Star of Zion. The new contributing editor of the Washington Bee got in some effective blows for a new deal in the headship of the colored schools last week. Rev. E. B. Gordor has definitely decided not to return to the pastorate of the Walker Memorial church, and will continue to devote his entire time to the development of the Inter-State Old Folk's home. The Women's Wage Earners Association meeting Sunday afternoon was addressed by Hon A. Gaminetti of California, United State Commissioner of Labor. --- Memorial services were held Thursday evening at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion church in honor of the late Bishop Alexander Walters. The deceased prelate was exceedingly popular in this city and for a number of years the capitol was included in his diocese.

Five lonely years have passed away; Our hearts are sore as time goes by; Oh! how we miss you. The vacant place in our hearts Can never be filled. When e'er we speak your loving name, Our eyes with tears are dimmed; Oh! darling, how we miss you, And how can we forget you. But the Lord has taken you from us. It was His holy will; And left in our hearts a vacancy Which no one else can fill. We will meet again dear darling, And be happy some sweet day. Though flowers we lay upon your grave May wither and decay. The love we bore for you in life Will never fade away. Georgia H. Drayton, (Mother) Messrs Jas. W. and Charles H.

Masonic Relief Here is a story which comes from the antipodes, and which may or may not be true, but it is too good to let pass. It goes to relate that an interesting account was recently given by one brother to another concerning the manner of giving relief, practiced in his lodge, which is located in a well-known watering place in England. A member of this particular lodge, a fisherman by calling, had the misfortune to lose his boat, and his brethren got to hear of it. They at once subscribed among themselves, and, with a donation added by the lodge, they ordered a boat builder to build without delay a boat of the exact replica of the one lost, a task he was well able to carry out, as he had also built the lost boat. As soon as the boat was completed the brother was anonymously requested to call upon the boat builder. This he did and to his amazement found he was the possessor of a boat exactly twin of the lost vessel, but at whose hands he was unable to ascertain, as the builder, who had been 'Masonically pledged to secrecy, and was himself a member of another lodge, professed his inability to solve the puzzle for the old fisherman. This truly was a case of "Let not thy right hand know what thy left hand doeth." and showed a tactfulness and a delicate consideration for another's feeling which one does not see so often as could be wished.—London Freemason. Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire—conscience.—Washington. Demoralizing Waits It is the fault of the presiding officer when lodge meetings drag. The diary manner in which even routine business is conducted not only waste time, but affects attendance. With a bright, active W. M., and a live, bright, active Secretary, business is transacted with snap and swing that keeps the brethren alert and interested. Another time-killer is the delay in preparing candidates, a matter that can readily be prevented by a thoughtful W. M. who can arrange for their immediate exception at the proper time, so that there need be no long waits.—Masonic News. The spiritual and moral upbuilding of the community is as necessary to its material welfare as its financial and industrial progress. Our fraternity has always been the advocate of clean and pure morals, just and equal laws in the state, religious toleration and the submission of crime.—Selected. The Ballot to Reject In England the United Grand Lodge provides that three black balls reject, but lodges have the right to enact a by-law for a less number. Scotland requires three, but gives permission to its colonial lodges to limit the number to two. Ireland requires a unanimous ballot, unless the by-laws of a lodge provide otherwise. All the American jurisdictions require a clear ballot. In Canada, the Grand Lodges of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba require two black balls, and British Columbia three; Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Ireland require the ballot to be unanimous.—Toronto Freemason. Masonry Symbolic Masory, successor of the mysteries, still follows the ancient manner of teaching. Her ceremonies are like the ancient mystic shows—not the reading of an essay, but the opening of a problem, requiring research, and constituting philosophy, the archexpounder Her symbols are the instruction she gives. The lecturers are endeavors, often palital and one-sided, to interprete these symbols. He who would become an accomplished Maon must not be content merely to hear, or even to understand, the lectures; he must, aided by them, and they having, as it were, marked out the way for him, study, interpret, and develop these symbols for him self.—Albert Pike. * * * "I fear that the cause of Masonry is suffering in many places for the reason that so many of the lodges are meeting in the same hall with other orders. It is a disappointment to me to enter a place. I am told is the lodge hall of one of the Masonic Lodges in my district and find, after entering, the emblems of almost every order more prominently displayed than that of the only one I am interested in. It says to me in no uncertain terms that Masonry is "Playing second fiddle" in that place, and this I do not think is right. I wish Masons and Masons only would meet in Masonic halls. I have no fight to make on any other order, but I do expect to hold up the banner of Masonry regardless of all others."G. M. of Tennessee. Honor the old man in Masonry. He has borne the heat and burden of the day, and is entitled to our respect and veneration. The prompt opening and early closing of the lodge will result in a large attendance at the communications. The social feature of Masonry should be very much in evidence during the summer months. Masonry is not only the oldest secular organization, but has also, by far, the largest membership, and is the most widely known secret society in the whole world. Seized upon by more thoughtful and cultured men in a rude and warlike age, when the word stranger was entirely symonymous with the word enemy, it serves to make friends and brothers of those who otherwise were not known to each other; its influence and power spreading with the growing intelligence among men, it proves to be a mighty factor in carrying the light of civilization far and wide among the inhabitants of the earth; and now, in this noonday splendor of education among the nations, it is just coming, as it were, into a full fruition of its glorious mission as an amabilisor of the middle walls of battle between man and man, and showing to the world that, after all, the nations of the earth are really brothers, identical in origin, alike in experience, the same in destiny. Along humanity's tortuous-pathway, blood-stained and battle-scarred, but ever upward, may be seen countless thousands of wrecks of alleged promising enterprises, originated by human genius, fostered by human love, and developed by human power. These have made great claims as to what they would mean in the intellectual and moral uplift of men and nations, to make men happier and to soften the asperities of nature, and thus contribute to the general welfare of mankind; but, either because they were not founded upon wise and benevolent principles, or were not pursued with patience and persistence, they have fallen and faded. History proves that the true and the good alone are really lasting. Errors, it cannot be denied, rise and flourish, and, indeed, last for many generations; but sooner or later they are put to flight. Truth alone is eternal. Our great institution, hoary with age, and grand because of what it has actually achieved in the past, has a foundation so strong and permanent that there can be no sort of doubt as to its endurance. Take the name itself—Masons. It means a builder, a worker, one who constructs useful and beneficial things, a practical and common-sense provider of things that meet the positive needs of men; not some idealistic attempt to redress, in a vague and irregular way, some fanciful grievance; not some assumed likeness to certain animals or birds; but some alienated oddity or difference from all other men. No, none of these; but it had its origin as a systematic organization at the putting up of a building marvelous for its size and grandeur, and a model of architecture beauty and practical utility for all subsequent ages. The operative art thus growing out of the intelligent effort to meet practically man's material needs in protecting him from the inclementy of the weather, care being had at the same time to provide protection for his precious possessions against the inundations of flood and the contagation of fire. Has naturally and legitimately developed into a spectulative science and into a system of morality, which, while it neglects not man's bodily necessities, yet stresses most powerfully the efforts to meet his mental and spiritual needs. This is true of the Order, as a whole, in its origin and in its organization capacity, and it is true of each individual Mason, just so far as he lives up to the requirements of the great institutions. HARDSTEW VISITS FLORIDA Jacksonville, Fla.—The Baptists of America have been thrown into mourning over the death of the man who accomplished something for his race and country and church, Dr. M. W. Gilbert, who died last week in Nashville, Tenn., and was buried from the Bethel Baptist church Tuesday in this city. I say he was a man who accomplished something, because he was the founder of the Florida Baptist Academy and was regarded as one of the leading educators of his race in the country as well as a great preacher and teacher. At the time of his death he was pastor of the First Baptist church in Nashville, Tenn., where he had done some good work. Of course Dr. Gilbert was one of the best known Baptist preachers in America. He was at one time connected with Benedict College* in Columbia, S. C. was president of Selma Univer- THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE sity up to last year when he resigned to go to Nashville. He got right down to real work, accomplishing something for his race and for his church. One time he was chairman of the National Baptist Educational Board. He was a worker in the National Baptist con- venton, and was active in the session held last year in Savannah, Ga. But he has gone, and we shall all miss him. One by one we are leaving the world. I have been on a little vacation and this is one of the reasons you have not heard from me before this time. I have been doing some going and I am still going, yet I am not prepared to tell you all the places I have been and all the things I have been doing. It would take a whole paper of course for this, but I have been some few places and have seen some few people. You must not blame me for this. For instance I have been in Georgia, and have had the pleasure of shaking hands with Dr. R. H. Singleton, in Atlanta. He is at work there. He got to Bethel and found that the church did not own a parsonage, so he told them that he did not live in a rented house and pastor a proud church and a big congregation like that, so they are getting ready to buy—in fact they have bought and soon he will be living in his parsonage. He is one of the workers of the A. M. D. church, and a man who deserves the highest place in the gift of his people. He is a man, every inch of him. Then I had the pleasure of visiting Morris Brown University. At the head of this institution is Prof. W. A. Fountain, D. D., one of the best trained men in the A. M. B. church and one of the best college presidents. He is making things happen at the school, and I a mot the opinion that yet he will be one of the bishops in the A. M. B. church, and this is because he has won his place and is not sitting down waiting for things to turn up but he is turning up things. His wife and son are associated with him in this educational work. He is just one able man and thats all. I am delighted to see the great work he is doing. They have one full school there I was proud to look in the school. I had the pleasure of attending a big meeting among the Baptists at West Street Baptist church. This was a conference of Bible people who met to study the Bible and general church work. Dr. P. James Bryant, was the manager, and I had the pleasure of hearing Rev. Bryant, and the Rev. Dr. Ernest Hall. Dr. Hall is one of the finest men I have ever met and I was glad indeed to shake his hand and to see what he was doing for his people. "You just ought to hear him." Then I have been to State-boro High and Industrial school and met Prof. James and all his teachers. They gave me a royal time there. Believe me this young man deserves credit for the good work he is doing there for God and his record. Off to Savannah, where I dropped into the office of the Atlanta Mutual, and had a talk with Manager J. C. Lindsey, and he is one busy man, and met some of the agents. Then down to the Wage Earners Bank, where I looked in but met the president and cashier at the office of The Tribune. I have been in the office and find these people are doing things. Editor Johnson was one busy man, but he found time to shake my lilly black hand, and then too, I met a busy woman in the office. It was Mrs. G. S. William&. She was much concerned about the mis-treatment of some little children. She is one woman who is willing to give her life for her people, and I am real proud of her. Off from Savannah, to Jacksonville, and I am here for a short time only, and will return to the city. I have met the Rev. Dr. Branch, and will tell you about him and many other business and professional people when I come back. I am going to give a letter to Savannah only. C. J. Hardstew. The papers have been full of late of the tragedy of the German explosion or deportation of the Belgian laborers. Our hearts have been stirred, our indignation aroused as we read of fathers, sons, husbands and brothers torn from their children, their wives and their sweethearts, from the old loved surroundings, and borne forcibly to labor in regions strange and under conditions galling and humiliating. But there is another deportation, another explosion going on under our very eyes that concerns us more nearly—some of the causes for which should make us, as citizens of a great, free nation, hang our heads in shame, should send us, crying aloud for forgiveness for our cruel neglect. Thousands Take Flight I speak of the great exodus of the Negroes from our Southland. There is much being said about it in the press these days. O, yes, we are beginning to talk and question now, for we are beginning to fear for our pocketbooks. That which a regard for common jus- tice, fair play, human rights could not accomplish, a fear for our bank account is doing, and we are asking: Why is the Negro dissatisfied? What can we do to keep him in the South? We can't afford to let him go; he means too much to us—financially. He works for little; his upkeep costs us little, for we can house him in any kind of shack, and make him pay us well for that; we do not have to be careful of his living conditions; he is good-natured, long-suffering, and if he should happen to give us trouble we can cope with that and the law will uphold us in anything we do. Am. I evaggerating? If we do not thus reason audibly, this is at least the attitude we, as a white race and employers of labor, assume or allow assumed. But the Negro is going, going in scores, in hundreds and in thousands. In some sections of South Georgia there are stretches of country almost destitute of Negro population. Country churches which once had congregations of two or three hundreds have now only twenty or thirty members. One Negro Conference of the Colored Methodist Episcopal church that had a membership in 1915 of 11,000 has barely 5,000. At a recent session of the conference men who had been pastors of these people stood on the floor of the conference and with tears in their eyes and solos in their throats pleaded to be allowed to go with their congregations, "Not that we want to go for our sakes," they said, "but for the sake of our people. We know it means suffering and hard living, but we will work with our hands for our support, that we may minister to our people, may keep them together, that they may not drift and be swallowed up in the great cities of the North, with no spiritual or moral guidance to keep them from the downward path." They are going at night, these refugees; the trains are full of them, and they are going with a mighty fear upon them. A friend of mine was talking to an old man who, with his wife, sons and daughters, was leaving the old home to go out into the great, strange world, their poor belongings in chinsey, homely-looking bundles in the seat beside them. The stock was left, they could not sell it, they said; and much of their honour-cold stuff, the poor collection of years of labor—but theirs. Why they Go. "But why do you go?" my friend asked. The old man, with trembling fingers, drew from his pocket a crumpled paper and spread it out before them. At the top of the sheet was crudely drawn a skull and cross-bones; below was written: "You are hereby warned that you and your entire family must go from this community within forty-eight hours. Your attention is called to the symbol at top of the notice." In the community where the old man lived a woman had been burned at the stake a few months before. Her crime was due to the natural impulse of motherhood. She had dared to protect her child from blows administered by a white man. And so the old man, fearing for his life, was fleeing in the dead of night. In another tow nin Georgia four innocent Negroes were foully murdered in the unusual way—by an insane mob. The father of the family was lodged in jail for as-sault on an officer who came to arrest him. The mob therefore seized the family—the mother, two daughters, one of whom was soon to become a mother, and a ten-year-old boy. I cannot go into the revolting circumstances of it all. Suffice it to say that little white boys saw it and hence seed of brutality, hatred and revenge were planted in their young hearts. Many Negroes are leaving that section. Just what proportions are leaving on account of unfair treatment I am unprepared to say, but such outrageous violation of the law is certainly playing its part in the exodus. A Negro woman in Georgia resisted the offensive attention of a white ruffian, with the result that her house, with all her possessions, was burned, and notice served on her to leave the community at once or she would pay the penalty at the rope's end. It is not simply the poor, irresponsible, thriftless Negro that undergoes such treatment at the hands of a senseless mod. for example, the recent occurrence in South Carolina, where a Negro worth anywhere for $20,000 to $50,000, a law-abiding citizen, was cruelly put to death and his family ordered to leave. His son owned a drug store, where he was doing a good business, all of which had to be sacrificed. Of course, these outrages are perpetrated by the coarse, brutal mob element. But what are the civil authorities doing about it? With the exceptions, possibly, of the case cited from South Carolina, where Governor Manning is demanding an investigation, we know of nothing being done to restrain the mob spirit which seems to be rampant. Do we criticise the Germans for barbarities in Belgium and allow with perfect impunity these outrages in our midst? God forgive us for our shamelessness, our self-right- cousness, our hypocrisy! And what is the church doing about it Do we know anywhere of any church taking an out-and-out stand against such? We seem to be bound hand and foot. What is it we are afraid of? To bring it closer home; What is our great Methodist Episcopal Church, South, doing about it? Where is her influence? Where is her voice? Who has gagged her? Is she a slave of prejudice? Is she a coward? Or is she asleep? We prefer to believe it is the last, but it is time for her to wake up or a great opportunity will have passed and God will find another instrument through which to voice the wrongs of an oppressed people. Not only does she seem to be taking no measures to change existing conditions, not only is her pulpit silent with regard to these atrocious wrongs, but she, this great Methodist Episcopal church, south, wealthy, strong, influential, is metually failing to meet the responsibility of a task already assumed. Paine College is the one avenue through which, as a Church, she has even pretended to minister to the Negro race, by training its leaders, its teachers, its preachers, its parents of the generations to come. So small has been the response to calls for actual sustenance for the school, so meager has been her interest in this, her one institution for the benefit of the Negro race, that, unless there is an immediate and beneficient response, Paine Pomard's Egyptian POMARD'S makes long, wavy hair method and you'll find its the best teed to grow your hair.

SUB COMMITTEE TO CALL GRAND LODGE MEETING News from a reliable source has reached us that the monthly board of the S. C. M. which met in Philadelphia last Monday the 12th, issued orders that in a short while the lodges in Georgia would be called together to re-organize the District Grand Lodge. It is also reported that in the orders issued by the board the lodges were notified not to pay any attention to calls to meet from any unauthorized sources and that in due time the lodges will be called together by the board or persons authorized by it. These orders will put a stop to the few disturbers who have done nothing to aid in getting the order out of court but who are now trying to assume leadership. Let the lodges be patient and pay no attention to these fellows nor to the many little circulars that are being sent them for they are unauthorized.

Text of the Lesson, John viii, 12, 31-37, 56-58—Memory Verses, 31, 32 Golden Text John viii, 36—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The portions of this chapter selected by the committee bring before us the forgiveness of a sinner, the evidence of true discipleship and the deity of Christ, who was before Abraham. Run what about chapter vii? Well, in viii, 20, we have a fact also mentioned in vii, 6, 8, 30—his time to give Himself up had not come, and therefore they could not take him. Contrast xiii, 1; xvii, 1, Jesus knew that His hour was come; Father the hour is come. In the plan of eternity, the plan of the ages and in the plan of your life and mine there is an appointed time, and it becomes us to accept it cheerfully and say, "My times are in thy hand" (I's. xxxi, 15). Their desire to kill Him is seen in vil, 1, 32, and in viii, 40. Their hatred of Him is seen in their calling Him a deceiver and a devil (vil, 12, 20; viii, 45). It is perplexing to read in vii, 5, that up to this time His brethren did not believe in Him. Some devoted Christians say, "If my life was what it ought to be at home, would not others in the home receive Him too?" Not necessarily. Consider Jesus. See His great love for all in vil, 37-39, "If any man thirst let him come unto me and drink," and compare Isa. 1v, 1; Rev. xxii, 17. In chapter 4 He said that we might be wells of living water, and now He says that we may be rivers by the power of the Holy Spirit, and He can make it true in some measure of us, that everything shall live whither the river cometh (Ezek. xvii, 9). What an honor to carry life and light in His name! His loneliness is seen in every man going to his own house, while He went to the Mount of Olives (vil, 33; viii, 1). As to the woman and His writing on the ground, it was a striking object lesson on Jer. xvii, 13. "They that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living waters." These self righteous scribes and Pharisees had no use for Him, the fountain of living water (Jer. ii, 13); they knew no energy for sinners and would have Him condemn this poor sinner. What He wrote on the ground we know not, but he virtually said: Ye hypocrites, your names have never been written in heaven (Luke x, 20). You know not God. You shall die in your sins, and where I am you cannot come (verses 21-24). There were no stones thrown, for there was no one present without sin but the Lord Himself, and He had no stones for any penitent sinner; He had no scathing words for any but hypocrites. His "Neither do I condemn thee. Go and sin no more" (verse 11) reminds us that He came, not to condemn, but to save (chapter iii, 17). He is ready at this moment to save any drunkard or other sinner who will turn sin and come to him (vi, 37). And He is ready and able to make them free from the wrath to come and from the power of sin here and now (I Thess. 1, 10; Matt. 1, 21). He is the Light that dispels the darkness, the Truth that makes free, the Son who makes free indeed (verses 12, 32, 36). He is able to save to the uttermost and evermore and from all sin all who truly turn to Him. But He has to say to many: "We will not come unto Me." "I would, but ye would not" (John v, 40; Matt. xxiii, 37). It is still thought by some that all people are children of God, but our Lord told these religious hypocrites that they belonged to their father, the devil, who is the father of lies and a murderer. It cost God and His Son a great deal to make provision where a sinner might become a child of God. The full benefits of the great sacrifice are offered freely to every penitent sinner, but there is no other way to become a child of God than by receiv- ing Jesus Christ as one's personal Saviour, putting all our trust in His great sacrifice for our sins (John i, 12). All are by nature children of wrath and dead in sins (Lph. ii, 3, 5), and, continuing in unbelief, the wrath of God abideth on them (John iii, 30). What an awfully wicked one and hater of God and man the devil must be to lead any one to prefer the wages of sin, which is death, to the gift of God, which is eternal life! Cain was religious, but he rejected God's way of life, and groved himself a child of the devil (I John iii, 12). And all religiosity today that does not know the forgiveness of sins by the precious blood of the Lamb of God is not of God, but of the adversary. Mark well His great saying, "Before Abraham was I am" (verse 5S), and think of Him as the one whose goings forth have been from of old, from the days of eternity (Mic. v, 2, margin). The Creator of all things, the reveler of salvation to Adam and Eve, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the one who appeared to Moses in the burning bush, and to Joshua by Jericho, and to Gideon and Manoah, the Lord God of the holy prophets, the one who shall yet be the one King over all the earth, when it shall be filled with His glory, and let Him have your whole heart and life always. They sald, "Thou art not yet fifty years old." He was not thirty-five. I wonder if being a man of sorrows made Him look like fifty. Weekly Church News ST. JAMES A. M. M. CHURCH Rev. A. L.

' SE | Negro Business League Weekly Letter’ POR By J. C. Lindsay | The Negro business men in this im- medliaté community, are Ike the Ne- gro busiaess men in every other com- munity, in that they are still plesding ‘with the business men of the egther race to join heartily with them in their endeavor’ to make living and working conditions of such in this, our beautiful southland, 60 agreeable and pleasant for the common — laborins classes among us until they, the Iabor- ing class, will not feel called ‘upon to go North, East, West nor to any other section of the comtry, seeking living and working conditions better than toe offered to them in the South, It seems strange to us that some men of the other race engaged in business have not yet seen the wikiom of co operating with the Negro business men atl over the South, who have.long since (seen what it Is which causes the South | te Tose so many of the strougest ‘and | best common laborers: among’ the Ne- sro whieh it hay produced in’ the past twenty-five years, When we say here Co-opersting with the Nezro busi- ness men in every community, we simply mean that the other fellow at ie ought to be willing to go down on record as heing in favor of seeing | the trusted Negro laborer living in a [good house, on a food front street, ‘well paved and sanitary conditions in keeping with the age in which we live. In that a large number of hard work- who passed through Savannih last week enroute for the North, in answer to certain questions propounded — to them, they said: “We are going North for the purpoe of receiving better wages for our work, where we can ‘Better educate our children, where race prejudice is not so high, where a man is a ‘man, without regard to race or color, where there is no sign placed constantly before our eyes to remind us of the fact that we are members of an unfortunate race; in short, we are going where we are told that we Will receive equality before the law.” Some of these causes 25 were enu- merated by these people who were seeking for better living, working and housing conditions, and who thought that the northern and eastern labor markets come more nearly furnishing what they are secking than what they had been able to find here in tis our sunny southland, could not he changed, swerved or moved one fota from the spoint that they lad first made, name- ly “We are going to better our gen- eral condition.” If the conditions described above are not a work for the thoughtful business men of hoth races, then. we are sadly mistaken, These men should Feet tagether, not for the purpose of talking and “asking a lot of questions concerning the living conditions of the race, that any ten-year old boy should know, but they should set toxether for the purpose of acting, ax one intelligent manly man and should act toward | another. . - * Beth-Eden ‘Baptist Church Monday, March 19, 8:30 p.m. A.

The difference between the two is this: The Negro business man is ‘willing to try to remedy the evils complained of by the man who wishes to leave and ‘go North, east or west, while some of the other fellows stand around and talk of what the South fs losing in ‘the matter of labor. Gentlemen, we lunst come to it like men, the sooner ‘the better. DR. W. A.

In fact, the speed with which this drug emporium despatches its little bottles of medicine has been the talk of the town for several months. So, the management in order to live up to its reputation for quick delivery, thought it wise to improve this department of the business by purchasing last week a high reared motorcycle. Lester Campbell, one of the delivery boys, was given the pretty little red devil to ride. He knew about every sort of machinery except a motorcycle but felt that to master his new charge would be an easy mater as he was an adept at mechanical contrivances. Lester got along all right for the first day and everything went well, but on Wednesday, while going down Park Ave, he felt a little like speeding. He forgot he was nearing a busy gritney street and so shoved on the juice. A big seven passenger automobile was in his way and thinking it was a "John Henry" he decided to take a bump into it as he had heard of the frailties of the "Tin Lizzies." The result was Lester took a summersault landing about fifty feet from the impact and now the motorcycle is a twisted mass of iron pipes and Lester is pushing his old reliable bike. The auto went on undisturbed and now Lester knows the difference in a "John Henry" and a great big Paige. BLACKSHEAR DOTS Zion Baptist Church, Rev. J. K. Rogers, pastor, had a very impressive meeting on the third Sunday in last month. Rev. Handy of Waycross preached and on the first Sunday in this month Rev. Harris, also of Waycross, lectured to the B. Y. P. U. of which Mrs. Fannie Gray is the vice president.—Mess. John and Adolphus Lee left for Waycross recently to attend a wedding.—Rev. J. W. Woods of Smithville, N. C., was a visitor here last week.—Mrs. Fannie Gray visited Savannah last week. RESPONSIBILITIES AND OPPORTUNITIES OF THE COLORED MINISTRY No one who travels over the country especially through the South, can fail to be impressed with this fact: The most complete and powerful organization in the race is the Negro church. No other medium that we have can compare with the church in strength of appeal, breadth of influence and finality and authority. In this respect the colored churches relatively constitute a more powerful organization than do the white churches. For while white people are influenced religiously by their churches they are influenced in matters social, industrial, financial and political thru other well established mediums. On the other hand the only medium thru which many millions of colored people can be reached and influenced is the church. There it goes without saying there rests upon colored mini-ters greater race responsibilities than upon any other single set of men. The writer has several times said in this column that if the white churches of this country should unite in taking a real Christian stand on the race question a miraculous change would be brought about, a similar statement may be made about the colored churches. If the colored churches of this country would unite in taking an intelligent and unselfish stand on all questions of vital interest to the race there would also be brought about a miraculous change. The taking of such a stand depends entirely upon the colored ministers. It is first necessary that they come to realize the responsibilities and opportunities that their position gives them. Of course there are many of our ministers who do realize these responsibilities and opportunities, but the great majority, those that reach the mass of millions have not progressed beyond the standard of anti-bellum days. They are still consuming all of their time in the pulpit and using up some mental and a great deal of muscular energy in efforts to expound what Paul said. The things that Paul said are, of course, important and it is the duty of the ministers to preach and teach them, but there are things being said by men living today, and in this very country important enough to the race to be worthy of some of the time usually devoted to Paul. Here is a great work which must begin with the intelligent and progressive minister. The work of making this powerful organization not only the instrument for promoting our spiritual welfare, but our welfare as men and citizens.New York Age. INFLUX OF NEGROES PUTS OUT WHITES Pastors of Negro churches reported yesterday that their houses of worship were check full and overflowing and that they didn't know where they were going to put their congregations tomorrow. The situation, they say, was due to the hegira of Negroes from the South An official of the League to Improve Urban Conditions of Colored People said yesterday that fully 200,000 Negroes had come North in the last six or eight months. The number has been placed as high as 700,000 by some observers. There will be another huge infux in the spring, when the families of the recent arrivals come to join their own folk. White families have been evicted from apartments in certain sections of Harlem, the apartments have been repainted and repaired, the rent raised from 30 to 50 per cent. and then Negroes have been brought in as tenants. The situation is said to be even more acute in some of the smaller suburban towns. Reports from Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Chicago say that the facilities in those cities for housing the newcomers are being taxed to the utmost.—New York Sun.
