Brown is a graduate of the Maple Street school, and resided prior to his departure ‘for Florida on @ist street, west, this city, Tle was for a little ver n year an insurance agent, he- ing employed by the Pilgrim Tealth Insurance company with headquarters in the Williams’ building. ‘The story of the daring rescue which ‘Mr. Brown made is recorded as fol- lows Im one of the daily papers-of Florida: . “Out beyond her depth in the suit unable to swim and with her com- panion dead from a sudden attack of heart disease, Miss Freda, Todd, of Camel, Ind., would have drowned in sight of many persons 6n the shore, at the Pasea-Grille hotel, but for the bravery of Mordecai Brown, a Negro Lellboy in the hotel, who went to her rescue, He swam out, with bis clothes und shoes on, and brought her back to shore where ‘she was ,revived. He then went in the water again and Drought in the dead aman, who was ‘Charles G.

It 1s Delleved that Coffman, a rich farmer, was dead when Miss Todd first saw him floating face down on the water. ~fhat Mr. Coffman died of heart di- pease und was not drowned is believed to be shown by the fact that the body never sank. It was floating face down when the bellboy reached it and brought it to shore. The lungs had some water in them but were not filled as would have been the, ease had death been due to drowning. “Mr. Coffman and Miss ‘Todd, who had been constant companions here for two months, went ito Pass-a-Grille Saturday afternoon and after their ar- rivat decided.to go bathing.

Miss Todd suddenly noticed that Mr. Coffman was not close to her. She saw him lying on his face, making no struggle and apparently lifeless. She screamed for help. Brown was in a room on the second floor of the Pass-a-Grille hotel and heard the sereams. He ran down as fast as he would. Several bathers and: persons along the shore also heard the cries for help and the bathers waded in as far as they conld without swimming and stood watching the man and wom- an. Miss Todd went under several times und finally ceased to struggle. Mr. Croffman never sank. Brown plunged in and reached the woman just as she was going down. He took her to the bathers who were in five feet of water and they took her to shore.

The jury qwas certain, however, tat death was not due to drowhing.

While we know that sports clothes are all-important, that their charms are indeed legion, and that no woman who considers herself as having the least pretensions to be fashionable will be woutout a goodly assortment of them this year; yet, in spite of all this, we must acknowledge that there is a touch of severity about them that creates a craving for the contrast of dainty, frilly, frocks. © MCCALL A Charming Way of Developing the New Bordered Fabrics There comes a time in the life of even the most ardent devotee of sports when one must relax, and it is at these times that the feminine longing for dainty, picturesque frocks, meat solely to make one as bewitching as possible, must, be satisfied. And so, for the delight of the feminine heart, there are the most irresistible creations of sheer silk volles, soft chiffon, and crepes, to tay nothing of the abundant variety of cotton volles, marquis-etts and swisss that are offered this year. Silk marquisette is combined with charmeuse in many dainty dresses of the more elaborate kind. The finer material takes, seemingly, the less important part, but it really is quite important, forming the background, as it were, to bring out the sheer material to great advantage. It may be used in a band at the edge of the skirt and in touches on collar and cuffs, or it may be used for a skirt with a long overdress of the sheer material falling over it. Georgette crepe is another of the dainty materials employed in this manner. The crepe de Chine dress is to come L. Youthful Evening Frock with Puffed Skirt Youthful Evening Frock with Puffed Skirt in for more attention than it has had for a long time. Crepe de Chine is to be one of the most popular fabrics for spring and summer dresses. No one will regret investing in a dress of this material, seeing that it has so many advantages, among them that of being a material which can be laundered very successfully. When so many of the present materials must be dry-cleaned, a dress which can be laundered and look just as fresh as new is a great boon to those whose income do not permit of many extravagances. Among the fashionable designs used in dress materials, borders appear very frequently. The border fabric with a design scattered all over the surface is one of the most striking of the new effects. Borders on plain materials have been used largely before, and they are again favored this season, but the border around an allover design is the very newest fashion. Both the embroided and the printed effects are looked upon with favor. The colors show the same tendencies not d in the other spring and summer materials; that is, they are quite gray and often combined several bright tones. One of these fascinating bordered fabrics is illustrated in the sketch of an afternoon dress for a young girl. This show by far the simplest and not the least effective way of using such materials. The border goes around the bottom of the skirt, and makes the belt, and a strip of it is applied around the bottom of the edge of the sleeves, forming a veritable frame for the figure. Kimono Styles and Short Sleeves The designers have returned to kimono sleeves and the body-and-sleeve-in one effect. Many of the new blouses and dresses are made in these styles; and a good many show the short sleeves, which have a fair promise of being taken up for spring and summer, though not to the exclusion of long sleeves. The most favored type of long sleeve at present is fitted closely from the elbow to the wrist. At the elbow, or above it, there is fullness, the sleeve being shaped in a point extending away from the elbow. A feature of the new skirts which appear to be very acceptable is the puff at the lower edge produced by a gathering of the edge to a foundation. Evening dresses are especially graceful in this style, whether made of taffeta, satin, chameuse or the other soft silks. This is a very delightful effect for young girls and is used very frequently for their party frocks. The illustration shows how full of charm are misses' deal of this charm lies in the simplicity. The model is developed in soft rose charmeuse, with chiffon of the same shade embroidered with gold threads forming the simple little bodice among the other evening colors which, Orchid and sea-foaming green are make exquisitely pretty frocks for the younger set. Fans, slippers and stockings to match the dress are some of the details which one should be mindful of in planning party frocks to be in perfect harmony. A. U. DEFEATS MOREHOUSE 15-2 By Albert Edwards And it came to pass on Saturday, which is the last day of the week and the seventeenth day of the month, that the host of Atlanta University went out to do battle in baseball with the host of Morehouse. And there was gathered together a great multitude to see the men of Atlanta do battle, for it had been noised abroad that Cade, surnamed Ding Bust, the captain of the host of Atlanta, had got him men of strength, quick of eye and fleet of foot, that he would lead forth to meet the sons of Morehouse. And it came to pass on the night before the battle that a rain feel so that there was much softness of earth. And the battle must needs be waged on the field of Morehouse. Now when the multitude was gathered together upon the hill over against the way that leads to West End, a great shout and a tumult arose from all those there assembled because as the tide of battle rose the sons of Atlanta scored repeatedly upon the sons of Morehouse, who never so much as covered the first base of Atlanta. And so it was until the fifth inning when the score of Atlanta mounted upward unto eleven while the sons of Morehouse in a long inning scored only two. Thenceforth the sons of Atlanta made merry, and even the daughters thereof were glad and there was much emulation and clapping of hands. And so the battle raged but ever against Morehouse. When the game far spent, Maddox who tossed the sphere for Morehouse, grew weary and was taken from the box, whereupon came another tall son of Morehouse whose name is Goodlow, but Atlanta did unto him even as it had done upto Maddox. For a short season Morehouse was lifted up in spirit, when lo! there appeared at the bat a mighty son of Atlanta called Jefferson whose surname is Slugger. He smote the ball unto the uttermost length of the field. Then there came following in his footsteps. Cade and Maxwell and Sinquefield from the city of Albany, and Hodges from the land of Texas. And these were all quick of eye and fleet of foot.4 Now when the day was far spent and there was no longer sound of drums and trumpets and timbrels from the sons of Morehouse. It came to pass that the host of Atlanta raised a great shout of triumph and they waved their banners and clapped their hands for joy, but the sons of Morehouse spake never a word. And the multitude that was gathered together said one to another, "What is this that has come to pass this day before our eyes?" And they marveled. But the scribe whose name is Sherard said unto them, "Friends, I say unto you, marvel not, for what has come to pass this day ye shall see again; for verily here is the score of them who did hit and of them who hit not." And they read, and low! the number of the sons of Atlanta who did run round about of all the bases was 15 and the number of Morehouse was 2. MOREHOUSE COLLEGE NOTES The baseball team lost to Atlanta University last Saturday. They got a genuine flogging. It came near being a duplicate of what A. U. received at our hands five years ago when they were beaten 15 to 0. Next Saturday we play Morris Brown on their campus. We see ahead and prophecy better and brighter days for the team than the last game indicated. The class of '17 is now beginning preparations for commencement. The class is ten in number. In it are the longest resident students of the school. The latest member of the class started five years ago. The members are scattered from Georgia, Texas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and South America. The class contains two aspirants to the ministry, three to the medical field, four to teaching and one to Y. M. C. A. work. The class of '17 has made a noise as it passed through, and a great deal is expected of it in the future. The date of the debate is April 13th. We debate against Knoxville at home and on the same night against Taladega at Talladega. A CALL FOR CONFERENCE AND ACTION Fort Valley, Ga.—At the Workers' Conference held at the Fort Valley High and Industrial School, following the Seventh Annual Educational Rally, the subject for discussion was "What Can the Negro Do to Influence the Establishment of State and District Agricultural Schools for Negroes?" There was a full and free discussion of the subject and general agreement on the following points: 1. That there is great need for such schools. 2. That by the lack of any united effort on the part of the Negroes of the state to obtain such institutions, we ourselves are largely to be blamed for not having secured them. 3. That a united effort embracing all classes of Negroes professional and business men, from the minister to the farmer, will result in securing some favorable consideration from state officials. 4. That now is the time for beginning a movement with this object in view. It was decided that such a movement should be begun and the undersigned were asked to act as a committee to issue a call for a meeting of representative Negro citizens to be held in the Pythian Temple, Macen, Ga., 11:00 a.m., Friday May 4, 1917, for the purpose of forming such organization and taking such action as seems best for the educational interest of the Negroes of this state. Besides Macon's central location, the Georgin Educational Association will be in session there at that time and special rates can be secured on all railroads. We believe that there is urgent need of such action as outlined above and earnestly solicit not only your interest but your assistance in securing the co-operation of newspapers, representatives from churches, schools, lodges and other organizations and individuals, in short, of any one and every one interested in the progress of our people and in having them share more largely in the benefits of both state and federal funds for education.

Rooted in the past, it has the ven- eration always enjoyed by respectable age. It is natural to associate worth with what is old. The imagination, fs ever excited by any institution that emerges from the shrouded dawn of tradition. | 2 ‘Then, the fact that Freemasonry has has endured gives it esteem. It wears the weighty gurments of the centuries, Year the burden of unnumbered years, and yet stand erext and intact, what strength it implies! ‘To see the ma- terlal works of man stattered, to wit- ess the fall of empires, to view the Aeath of successive generations, to with stand the shock of time. to buffet the elements and defy decay, this, this means immortality. Behold a mountain! Tow serene it is! Let it stand by the surging sea and yet it is neither hoseil or bruised by the restiecs billows that beat against its base and it regards them dot. Let it arise from the plain, and yet it fs unceratched by the shifting sands, 10d does it mind the agitation of the earth. Clouds fly in battalions about its breast, torrents spill their reservolrs of rain, Ughtning discharges its dread artfl- lery, avalanches rumble by, and yet the mountain lifts fn calm its sunlit summits through the blue dome of heaven toward the silent and shining pathway of the stars. ‘This is seren- ity. z $ Masonry is like the mountain, The mutation of mundane otistence do not rufle it. Man frets, but Masonry is compored. The fury of faction dis- turhs it not. It attacks no religion, sides with no party It is known by frnits, not by fights. Noiselessly tt enters the heart and taind of humanity. As all pervading and powerfal as grav- itation, itis as unseen, It permeates life, but belongs to eternity.—The Ma- conte Light. Magonie Pride To be proud of being 2 Masin is com- mendable, particularly if the pride is of the right sort. We haye scen some who have traveled a long way up, and yet were not very high Masons, after all, They had degree knowledge, but jirecious little of the old baptism. They were proud of being Masons he- cause of its personal honor, and yet they mate no efforts to built up the institution itself. What it had done for them they were well enouzh pleased with—but what they could do for it they had never yet tried—The Masonic News., see Each Master Symbolically has pass- ed through “the shadow of death.” If he ty atrue master of himself he has learned to subdue his passious and desires. When he passes beyond the “shadow of death." at the end of his life evistence, he will “fear no evil” hecause he can Iean on the staff of the Divine Guide and joyfully enter into the inner chamber of immorality where no shadow comes to obscure the light of eternal bliss—Masonic Light. An Unjust Criticism A brother who recently took his de- gree said the other day that he was very much disappointed In Freemason- ry because he had found in the fra- ternity seme members who were uot consistent and who disregarded their obligations. ‘This criticism, While well man and just. forgetting the fact that Freemasonry, forgetting the fact that the same objection ean be made against any human society. [ven the chureh is not withont its reeruits, and it is besond dispute that we have them in Treema-onry. Mow, when or where a remedy for this condition will be found we are unable at the present time to answer. A careful jttrding of the hal- lot will, of course, do a great deal to ward keeping the unworthy from our assemblages but unfortunately — the roca for numbers is greater than the Aesire for eveellencey, and as we are constituted at present it is scarcely worth while to look for a correetion of the pret condition in the ballot. Lif you and I stay away from lodge, had when we occasionally visit, find that our neighbor, whem we know to hoe unworthy has received his degrees, what right have we fo complain wheh 8 responsibility which, rests upon each member of the craft has heen evaded. Tach year the tendency is to make Freemasonry more popular; from an exclusive society it is rapidly descend- ing to the plain of mediocrity; te present requisite for membership be ing largely 2 matter of producing the necessary foo and a clear manipulation of the ballot. As long as this condl- tion prevails we will find those in our midst who are not distinguished hy sincerity and plain dealing and who sre branded with the heresy of Cain. —Ilinois Freemason. x Freemasonry in Practice Fremasonry exists in practice rathor than in knowledsz. Tt is a possession. It ix not a knowledge of signs and pas- words, but a conception of principles, ‘unfolded by degrees in a sympthetic manner as the capacity to apprehend opens to the neophfte. Masonry is a growth. The secrets of Masonry, the workings of the lodge room, passwords ‘and whatnots of the craft might be publicly proclaimed and nothing of val- ue reach the cars of the man whose heart attuned to worldly pursuits re- sponds to Masonie evolutions. Ma- sonry is considered the parent body of all secret societies, although it has no imitators. Societies having been plagiarized for form and usages, but the Masonle order stands alone; as for centuries in the exemplification of those principles which are pecullarly Ma- sonie.The Square and Compasses.

Always mindful of obstruction, Do your duty never fail, Keep your hand upon the trottle and your e¥e upon the rail. You will often find obstructions, Louk for storms of wind and rain, And ou hill or curve or trestle, ‘They will almost ditch your train; ” Put your trust alone in Jens, Never falter, never fail, Keep your hand upon the trottle And your eye upon the rail.

The Star last year carried an account of his invention, which created much in- terest. Polite after the close of the season at the Oceanic hotel at Wrights- ville beach last year moved to Char- lotte. Speaking of his invention Wed- nesday’s Charlotte Observer says: * “This story concerns the tnvention of an anti-aireraft war gun by a Ne- ro eltizen of North Carolina, The inventor 1s Willlam D. Polite, head waiter ut the Selwyn Hotel. “The Invention bears the patented number 1218458, and the final papers were received yesterday morning from Washington, “Polite has been waiting 18 months for the ripening of his hopes. and now he Is a very happy man. “During these 18 months, the inter- est has been enlisted of Representa- tive Godwin and of Senators Simmons and Overman and through them of Secretaries Daniels and Baker. “What the government will do with the latest war gun Invention, the pat- ent on which was oflicially dated March 6, remains to be decided.” “Meanwhile, the fact remains that should the gun prove the success that is claimed for tt by known ones in | Washington, North Carolina can lay dlaim te the man and the gun. “This Nexro comes by his name, Vo- lite, from his Huguenot descent.

Entered at the Post Office at Savan- ah, Georgia, as Second class Mail Saturday March 24th, 1917 COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DO THEMSELVES HONOR It would be basely neglegent and unappreciative if the colored people of this community did not express their great appreciation to the County Commissioners for the splendid work that body is doing for the delinquent Negro youth of the community. The people of Savannah cannot arise to a full sense of appreciation of what is being done at the Juvenile Farm, without actually paying the farm a visit. Several new departmental building are now in process of erection, built with a view to comfort, convenience and sanitation, fitted for training, recreation and spiritual inspiration, just exactly the requisites for such a place of reform and correctional influence. The new sanitary conveniences, lavatory and baths, are modern and up-to-date and will go a long way in the work of physical and moral growth and betterment; the provision for study and play, both of which are so necessary in the plan of helpful influence, are just what they should be; and the additional provision for dormitories, dining room and kitchen are all in line with a generously high ideal. Every thing about the place indicates that the good men who are directing it have a full vision of the great responsibility and duty of the county to its wayward and backward children. These children who find themselves in the toils of the law from trivial offenses and misbehavior, doubtless are "more sinned against than sinning." Demoralizing and depraved home environment will account for practically every case. Child psychology has taught that under like conditions children of all descentency behave in the same ways, and much as other nature forms, are largely the creatures of their environments. Without, the chance to be upright, without the opportunity to learn the essentials of honesty and reliability, it would be unreasonable and exceptional if these unfortunate little human souls manifested a healthy and righteous growth,it would be unnatural. The county is here trying to supply that opportunity, trying to give the tender shoot the chance to grow by tran-planting it into more favorable soil, and the county is going to succeed. It will get large returns for its investment. In addition to the above excellent equipment the county officials have placed in charge at the farm a superintendent, Mr. S. P. Brazel, who seems to have the temperament and human insight which a man in that capacity should possess. He seems to have been particularly well selected; he is splendidly qualified. Mrs. Moore, the matron, in her capacity has wrought wonders there. Her wide experience in re-claim and social work has asserted itself in an entirely new atmosphere from what formerly obtained at the farm. The place no longer smacks of the prison, but resembles the great training school which it is intended to be. In Mrs. Moore, one sees what the dynamic influence of one real, broad-visional personality may be. Her plan of direct contact and individual treatment of the problems and cases there has already borne good fruit. The whole plant—the ensemble, makes up a worthy and far reaching influence, attacking the problems of a great city and county at the root, and this people, white and black may well be proud of it. Surely, one good example is more eloquent—and more helpful—than present piled upon present. May we all look forward to the day, perhaps near at hand, when alongside of and under the same kind guidance and jurisdiction, there will be a similar provision for the hundreds of wayward girls of the race in this city, and which constitute, if possible, an even more serious problem. We are hopeful. BUILD THE OLD FOLKS HOME Nothing indicates the quality of a people's civilization more than the care which that people, provides for its poor, its aged, its infirm and its dependent element. People of high and cultured civilization reflect it by the great numbers of eleemosynary institutions they establish—hospitals, asylems, homes for dependents, reformatories, libraries, social centres, etc. People, of little vision, lacking in humanitarianism and philanthropy, have no interest in such charity, feel no duty to the unfortunate, have not caught the spirit of the Great Teacher, cannot have judged His life fairly and correctly. Now, Savannah, like too many cities in the land, is conspicuous for its lack of sufficient and creditable institutions of this kind. We have no home for the aged and infirm—and we must having many dependents in the city We have no place for delinquent and wayward girls—and the courts are at present and continually embarrassed by the great number that are caught in the toils of the law. We have no thoroughly modern and well equipped hospital facilities—though scores need their comforts and service daily. No one will claim that these conditions are worthy of a city like Savannah; no one will say that the task of providing these should not be undertaken, some how, by somebody. Of all these dire needs, the most pressing and urgent is that of an old folk's home—comfortable, cheerful bountifully supplied with the things which would make those who have reached "the afternoon of life" happy and content. We know many persons, aged and without support save for an irregular and patronizing casual charity who deserve a better lot than is theirs. Misfortune of one sort and another has brought them to their plight and made them a care upon the charity of others. The causes matter little,—the duty is ours and the state's. Some effort has been made in this direction, and it is praiseworthy and commendable,—but we must go on,—we must not-let the matter lag longer, we must build the old folk's home. To criticize and find fault with this and that about the matter as it stands will accomplish nothing, and it does not become a worthy man to do so. Come into the problem and help to work it out. Laudable as are the various other movements before the public, none can surpass this matter of the Home for Old Folks, none can equal it in necessity. To build it means sacrifice and devotion to the cause; it cannot be built with "chips and whet stones." The colored men of means in Savannah—and there are a good many—must themselves, if necessary, make the sacrifice, whatever it may be, and build the old folk's home. Whatever may be necessary to enliven and arouse the movement should be done; whatever of reorganization, if any, necessary to win the working support of the public should be effected at once. We cannot wait on the other people to pick up our burdens; we must have the piety and independence and the high sense of duty that become us. We must not wait longer, while so many of these dear old souls, most of them worn out in honest service and sacrifice for others—mayhap for an ungrateful child—lie like so many wrecks about our great city. So many of these people are literally forced to take the street begging to sustain themselves. Here they mix with many others begging, many of whom are less deserving than themselves, and the public cannot distinguish. The whole practice is obsolete, embarrassing and contemptuous—embarrassing for donor and recipient. It deserves to be blotted out forever. Philadelphia, Pa.—Charles Edward Russel, author and Socialist, praises France because "the narrow, blind hatred of race prejudice is unknown there." Mr. Russel spoke on "Race Prejudice" in the Broad Street Theatre under the auspices of the Socialist Literary Society. The speaker declared race prejudices were rampant in this country and decried the tendency of the white race to consider itself superior to other races of the world. This country, he said, was constantly bungling the Negro problem. He denounced the lynchings in the southern states, and added: "Unless race prejudices are eliminated in this country the crust of the yokano on which we are sitting will give way very soon." "France," continued Mr. Russel, "has given the Negro true citizenship. In France liberty, equality and fraternity are not hollow mockeries and empty dreams. In the Chamber of Deputies black men sit side by side with whites. France has never designed to draw a color line. The Negroes rallied to France's colors when she was threatened. But what if we had a war here and needed our Negro citizens? What if, when we called for them, they answered: THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE truthfully enough: 'You have oppressed us; you have killed our men, women and children; you have shown us no justice in your courts; you have trampled us down. We will not fight for you!' Would not the Negro be justified? But we know the Negro in his loyalty will fight for us despite our great injustice to him. There is no national safety for this country except in strict adherence to "liberty, equality and fraternity." JUDGE ABERNATHY'S OPINION OF THE NEGRO Birmingham, Ala.—Judge H. B. Abernathy, of the municipal court of Jefferson county, caused a sensation at a session of the Alabama Sociological Congress by remarks on the Negro gro question: "God Almighty made them tohew wood and draw water," said Judge Abernathy, "and I am opposed to educating them. Booker T. Washington has done more harm in Alabama than tuberculosis." Judge Abernathy explained in opening his speech that his opinions were not a matter of theory but they were the result of dealing with Negroes both on and off the bench. ch. Respectfully submitted, a difference in Cyril A. Parks gro nature as C. W. Hearns of limberger Clifford Wadkins oses," he said. Committee "There's just as much difference in human nature and Negro nature as there is between the smell of limberger cheese and a bunch of roses," he said. "I believe in keeping him on the farm. For once, the Negro hears the tune of an automatic piano he loses all taste for the mocking bird, and he'd rather smell sewer gas than new-mown hay." Deaths Benjamin DeLyons Judge Abernathy created further commotion when he declared that any man in his right mind, and who isn't hungry who commits an offense will do it again. "If a normal man is guilty of murder I believe in hanging him," he said. Prominent sociologists and prison reform advocates were here, and many of them made replies to Jude Abernathy. There may be some excuse for not dealing with our race along some commercial lines but there is no excuse for not banking with our own race. The service is even better because we know one another personally. The courtesy extended to you is far better than the white banks offer you, the rate of interest is the same, compounded semi-annually; the security of your deposit is protected just as well as other banks so there is no excuse whatsoever for not patronizing our own color along this line. By patronizing we do not mean to use our banks for a medium of cashing checks on white banks because they are closed or because it is too far to walk to them, nor do we mean to carry your small accounts which serve as a clerical burden without any benefit to the bank, but put your "big money" in there and let it stay thus elevating yourself in the respect of your race and saying to the other race you have confidence in the ability of your own people to handle the affairs of our race with honesty and integrity, for truly the advancement of a race or nation is measured by the confidence it has in itself. Your ability to earn money is no sign of advancement if you have not race pride or sense enough to invest that money wisely so that it may remain in the race and benefit the race. We will forgive you this time if you are guilty, but please, see that you discontinue the same.—Herald.

(Job xi, 8) But in-verse 14 He comes near to us, becomes ‘one of us and reveals unto us the Father, and, seelng and kuowing Him, we see and know the Father (chapter xiv, 9). Lrssox I1,—John the Baptist and Je- sus, John {. 1934. Golden Text, Johu "1, 29, “Behold the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world.” Jobn was to Jesus at His first coming what the real Elijah will be at His second coming in glory, for the great and dreadful day of the Lord is still future, aud Mal. iv. 5, stands, according to Matt. svii, 11. Lrssox IL—First disciples of the Lord Jesus, Joln i, 35-51. Golden Text, John i, 43, “Jesus saith unto Him, Follow Me." Jobn’s second tes- timony turned men ayay from Lim to Jesus, and that was his afm, as it should be ours. Andrew and the un- named other one, having spent the day with Jesus, quickly brought their Drothers te the Messiab, whom they had found, and Philip brought Na- thanael, who coiifessed Christ as Sou of God and King of Israel. Lrssox IV.—Reverence, of Jesus for His Father's -house, John ti, 13-22 Golden Text, Matt. x1, 13, “My house shall be called a house of prayer.” By no means omit the marriage and the water changed to wine and the mar- riage of the Lamb which wil) precede the kingdom, ‘Chen shall fuilow 1s- racI's great cleansing, according to Lz, xxxvi, 25. Lessox V.—Jestis the Saviour of the world, John iii, 1-12. Golden Text, John iti, 16, “God sv loved the world ihat Ie gave Ilis only begotten Son.” Lven the most religious and moral man cannot see or enter the kingdom uniess he is born again by receiving the Son of God, who loved him and xave Himself for him. But there is Hife for a look for all bitten ones, and they shali share the bridegroom's joy in the morning (verse 29). ns - Lesson Vi.—Jesus and the woman of Samaria, John iv. 1-20. Golden“Text. 1 Tim. {, 15, “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” A religious moral man must be born again, and a poor, immoral outcast may be born again, for He came to seek and to save the lost. The latter became a Detter witness than the former and brought many souls to Him. In such service He delighted and invites us to join Him, that we may rejoice to- gether. Lyssox Vil.--Jesus heals a noble- aan’s sun, John xiv, 43-34. Golden Text, Matt. vill, 13, “As thou Last be- Meved so be it done unto thee” At Cana He had shadowed forth the glory of His own marriage, and now from Cana He sent life to a whole bouse- hold. After the marriage what bless- ing there will be to multitudes! May the childlike faith of the nobleman be ours, for he believed the word that Jesus Lad spoken and went his way. » LESSON VIII.—Jesus at the pool of ‘Bethesda, John vy, 1-15. Gollen (est, John ix, 4, “It was Jesus who’ bad made him whole.” A truly helpless pool for really helpless people, . but there isa fountain which is better than all pools, and THe gives life to all whe hear Hix word and velleve on Mim— that fs, receive Mim. There is nv Look like the Scriptures, and by Scripture we learn of Tim, but uniess we come to Tim of whom they tell we cannot obtain life (I John ¥, 12). “ Lesson IX.—Jesus feeds the five thousand, Joha vi, 1-21. Golden Text, Matt. vi, WU, “Give us this day our daily bread.” Feasts of the Lord lad liccome mere feasts uf the Jews, and the multitudes were perishing. Today the public worship of God ig largely mere formalities, stones for bread, and our Lord is still saying, “Give ye them to cat.” He is ready to take what we have that is real bread and Increase it ag needed. Lessox X.-Jesus.the bread of life. Jobn vi, 2240. Golden Text, John vi, 35, ‘Jesus said unto them, 1 am the bread of life.” Living Bread from heaven, and yet people despise it, even as Israel lwathed the wanna in the wil- derness aud in their bearts turned lack to the food of Egypt. See these men disputing and arguing instead of cating, And so it ts still, just as in the invitation to the marriage feast they all made light of it, each prefer- ting his own way.
