ALL FORCES JOINING IN MAKING CONVENTION A SUCCESS Sessions of Women's Convention Held at Liberty Baptist Church Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 5.—Patriotic singing, mingled with plantation and jubilee melodies marked the opening of the 37th annual session of the National Baptist Convention (Unincorporated), which was called to order by E. P. Jones, of Vicksburg, Miss., and which was welcomed by the host of dignitaries among the Baptists and other denominations of the city and state. Negro Baptists from every state in the union are here. The sessions were called to order at ten o'clock this morning in the Friendship Baptist church. The entire city is giving a cordial welcome and the people of the state of Georgia have joined in with the Atlanta folks and are here in large numbers, making this one of the most largely attended meetings among the religious people of the state that has been held for years. The convention is made up of the membership among the Baptist churches said to be two million, five hundred thousand. Every state in the union and many of the West Indies Islands, Canada and Mexico have representation. The work to be done this week is purely missionary and educational. The convention is composed of seven boards, into whose hands this special work is committed during the year. These boards are presided over by their respective officers. Their reports will be made beginning today and continuing throughout the week. The officers of the convention are E. P.

Dorsey announced today that he will receive up to October 5, 1917, offers or bids at the executive office, state capitol, for the Negro agricultural, industrial and normal school recently established by the legislature. The measure provides that the Governor, together with the attorney general and state school superintendent, shall be a committee to receive offers from the citizens or county in the state for this institution. At least 100 acres of land must be submitted besides any other donations, such as buildings or money. The bids, and offers will be opened and considered at the governor's office on October 5, and it is the purpose of the committee to visit all or at least the best of the sites presented, in order to secure the one most suitable for the purpose. Any or all bids, of course, if not satisfactory, may be rejected. EUREKAS AND:BRUSWICK BROKE EVEN LABOR DAY The Eurekas and Brunswick played a ten lining tie game, 7-7, on Labor day at the Athletic park. The game was witnessed by over seventeen hundred persons and was very exciting after the sixth lining when Brunswick pulled up to within one run of the five run lead of the home boys. The game should have been won by the local boys but wild throwing and inability to hit in the tenth with one down and one on third, caused the chances to go glimmering. The pitching of Hampton for the locals was faultless, and with the proper support would have been crowned with victory. Perry hurled a good game for the visitors after the fifth lining and finished strong. NEWS FROM BEAUFORT, S. C.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, Business League Adopts Resolutions Business League Adopts Resolutions ON COURTESIES SHOWN MEETING BY CHATTANOOGA Asks that Soverignty of Liberal Be Preserved Tuskegee, Ala., Sept. 1.—The following resolutions were unanimously offered and. Adopted during the Eighteenth Annual Session of the National Negro Business League which, was held at Chattanooga, Tenn., August 15th, to 18th: The National Negro Business League, in eighteenth annual convention assembled, shares with all true Americans deep concern in the titanic struggle now going on among the nations of Europe, into which America has been unwilling drawn. We are true Americans. No slackers are tolerated in our society, no spies harbored for a moment, nor in the slightest way encouraged. In every war of the republic we have done our "bit," and we will not fall in this hour of our nation's greatest crisis. We call upon our people to contribute in every way to the successful prosecution of the war by giving our noble sons for offense abroad and for defense at home; by an increase of crops, by larger planting and better farming; and by a closer conservation of our products, in observing the suggestion of the government as to our consumption of food and the utilization of waste. We share the conviction that as true patriots we should give our last ounce of devotion in the service that may bring victory to the armies of our heroic allies. We yearn intensely for the day when the world shall be "safe for democracy," when men may be men the world over, freed from case, political discrimination, oppresion of every sort, and prejudice; when men everywhere shall enjoy the inalienable rights of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," with equal opportunity for education and labor, will free-for-all incentives for personal affair racial development, with equal justice to all and malice toward none. We most respectfully urge that consistency demands that we preach democracy, we shall practice it at home. We cannot make the world safe for democracy unless our country is safe for democracy. Unless every man in America shall have a man's chance, America's plea for world's democracy shall, because of our inconsistency, be the occasion, of our humiliation. The sea must not only be safe for travel, but likewise every bypath in America. We unreservedly condemn crime of every nature, whether found in our race or other, and we put ourselves squarely on record against the vicious criminal class. At the same time we lift our voices in condemnation of lynching and mob rule, bellying as we do that such practices undermine good government, promote insecurity of all, and are serious reflections on our Christian civilization. The recent occurrences that have made East St. Louis, Memphis, and Abbeville black spots in America have also brought us to shame throughout the world. The failure to punish adequately the perpetrator of these crimes has emboldened them until many of our people in some parts of the country live in constant fear and uneasiness by day and by night. We desire to commend state and county officials in all parts of the country who, in the exercise of their offices, seek to protect the lives of prisoners and thwart the purposes of the mob. We especial desire to commend the attitude taken on lynching by the Hon. Sidney J. Catts, Governor of Florida, and the Hon. Augustus O. Stanley, Governor of Kentucky. We record our hearty appreciation and sincere gratitude to the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt for his eloquent and forceful words recently delivered condemnatory of mob rule and lawlessness, which words sent a thrill throughout the nation and the world and were particularly heating to our people. Largely because of missecurity, as well as lack of school facilities, poor wages, unfair treatment in courts and unfair administration of our suffrage laws, our people have become uncontrollably restless. They are seeking security, larger liberty and more of the comforts of life. Knowing as we do that the Negro at heart loves the South and would here abide contentedly in large numbers under better and more (Continued on Page Six) SATURDAY SEPT. 8, 1917 Public Schools Open October First EVERY CHILD MUST GET TICKET FOR ADMITTANCE The public schools of the city will open the first day of October.

ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT Mr. Andrew Whitfield Simpkins announces the engagement of his daughter, Mattie L., to Mr. Joe-eph W. Handy, the marriage to take place October 10, at Eturefield, S. C. Savannah Pharmacy enlarged during last week its store at the corner of Margaret and Fahm streets by purchasing the stock of another Yamacraw drug store and combining it with the already well stocked Margaret street store. The business of the Margaret street branch has been holding up well and is an evidence of the good business acumen of Drs. Moody and Fonvielle in establishing a drug business in this thickly Negro populated section of the city. In volume of business the branch store is closely pushing the main store at 719 West Broad street. Quite a large crowd witnessed the graduating exercises of the Vole College class at St. John's Baptist church Friday night, September 31st. Many of the very best as well as representative women of the city composed the class and will in the near future establish the work of this college such centre in this city. Strong endorsements of the work being done by the students in this city and other states were given by ministers and laymen. ROUGH HOUSE WARE PUTS BATTLING HOLMES TO SLEEP Holmes Proves Easy Prey for the Dazzling New Yorker Rough House Ware of New York made easy pickings of Battling Holmes who blew into town last week from Boston, Mass., for a scheduled fifteen round scrap at the Airdome on Monday night. It was an misrable showing which the Boston scraper made, for from the beginning of the fight until the latter part of the fifth round when Rough House placed a sleep-producer on Holmes chin, putting his out for the count, the latter was on the defensive and it was evident he was no match for the rapid fire fighter from the metropolis. The fight was witnessed by almost four hundred people who saw in Rough House one of the fastest and most dazzling fighters to appear here in some time. He gave evidence of everything that had been heralded of his cunning and prowess as a fighter but because of the weakness of his opponent he did not get a chance to cut, loose: Holmes; on the other hand, showed up "nice" as some sort of X. M. O. A. or sporting club boxing director. In fact, he was no match at all for the man he faced. The semi-final, six rounds, between two local favorites, Josey Dixon, and Young Grant of Charleston, S. C., was a rather exciting affair. The local bantam though giving away at least 15 pounds to his chubby opponent who looked more the part of a light weight than a bantam, fought a heady fight and cleverly evaded the vicious swings of his adversary. The scrap ended in a draw with neither boy any the worst for the evening's tilt. The six round preliminary between Battling Jerry and Fast Brown was the real hair-raser of the evening. It was a hammer and tong fight, with Jerry depending on his mighty-right to bring home the bacon while Brown used his strong left overtime. It was a beautiful one hand fight and both men tried hard for a knockout though the sum total of the damage done came from a lightening crash to Brown's jaw which displaced one of his ivories. It was stated yesterday that Manager Jennings, is going to take Rough House under his care and that the two will leave next week for the middle West where they will meet all comers. G. H. BOWENS FLIVYER TURNS • OVER NEAR CATTLE PARK On Sunday afternoon while returning to the city from Hope Crest with a party of prospective lot-buyers, Mr. G. H. Bowen's "flivery" took to a ditch near Cattle park after doing the road to Hope Crest for a total of four trips that day. Just before the near-serious accident happened the car gave a peculiar squeak, which the party now recalls to have been a cry for relief from hte constant grind of the day, and then in a twinkle took to the ditch, spilling the occupants over the road. It seems that several parties had been out to this popular resort and Mr. Bowen's crowd together with that in a big touring car was returning to the city. All went well until the Cattle Park stretch of the road was reached when Mr. Bowen opened up his Tin Lizzle and attempted to pass the other car. Just as "John Henry" had made a mighty sprint and succeeded in passing the other car, the driver who happened to be Mr. Bowen, turned around to give the trailing car the laugh. In turning around he lost sight of the road and ran into a ditch which turned the car over. A loud scream was let loose by the female occupants of the car, who were tossed about the road. The fluffer upside down was apparently mad for the engine kept agging and puffing. Occupants in passing cars ran to the wrecked machine and hearing groans, lifted the car and extricated the driver on whose chest the fluffer was resting while the engine was running at a 40 mile clip. To the surprise of the onlookers, no body seemed hurt aside from the driver whose only injury was a sore chest, but the fluffer will now have a real long rest and a brand new upper body. But, then, what difference does it make, four lots were sold and only the machine out of commission! CENTRAL PARK INSTITUTE Central Park Institute begins its arrival, term, November 12 at 8:30 a.

PAGE TWO THE AUTUMN COATS MAKE THEIR DEBUT Fashion Decides for Straight Lines and Hip Drapery PERSONALITY PLUS PATRIOTISM New York, Aug 31-Though the weather man continues his maddening report of "fair and warmer," we fear him not at all, for have far weightier things on our minds than the mere rise in temperature. The time to seriously plan the autumn wardrobe has come, and nothing can interfere with that delightful task. Indeed, it must be more carefully planned this year than ever. There is no better formula for women of fashion than "Personality Plus Patriotism." Naturally the coat plays an very important part in the scheme of things this time of the year. Cool weather demands a coat. The smart wraps make a deep impression on the casual observer, for, as every one knows, appearance counts for a great deal in this world. There are top coats and suit coats and evening coats; and oh, the number of fascinating models there are to choose from! The top coat has been so very popular for some time that we have come to feel that no wardrobe is complete without at least one. On Fifth avenue one feels almost nonpluss by their great variety. There are coats that cling to the figure, proclaiming in every line their allegiance to the straight silhouette. The draped coats, rivals of the straight-line effects, have soft puffings and folds cunningly arranged to give the required fulness C. McCALL Straight Lines, and a Smart Top Coat across the hips. There are coats without a bit of trimming, there are coats with braid, and coats with fur, and coats with buttons. The Chinese influence, so strongly predicted by Paris, has not as yet gained the ascendancy, though I saw a stunning wrap the other day, a combination of beige and black, hanging straight from the shoulders, with the wide kimono sleeves and narrow belt. There was a waistcoat of many colors, in embroidery and beads; indeed, the waistcoats are quite a feature of this mode. The coat for every-day wear must of necessity be extremely simple, depending on the charm of line, color and C. H. K. Evening Wrap of Rose-Colored Satin material instead of on a great deal of trimming. Fur is still used to a great extent, though not so universally as last year, when one felt completely out of style if there was not a mile or two of fur on coats and dress. Collars, crafts and pockets may be banded with fur, or, if satin is used, a very pretty trimming is wide Hercules braid. Stitching, too, will be used a great the collar BRIGHT PROSPECTS AT fasten up ATLANTA UNIERSITY ars of the Colorings this autumn will be a trifle subdued. It is rather a relief, I think to see the soft grays, tans and greens after the kaleidoscopic shades of the summer. Chocolate, dark green and blue are predominating colors, with here and there the alluring charm of the russets, tawny oranges and brilliant coppers. Never has there been a season when the color a woman really loves and admires can so easily be used. Combinations of colors, too, are seen everywhere. I have in mind one charming creation of dull rose combined with taupe. VISIT THE—— The Beauty Parlors aveniences for electrical treat- scalp, facial and body massage hopping and manicuring S. A. E.

Many of the coats fasten up to the neck with broad collars of the same material or of velvet, fur or satin. A particularly good example of the smartness of simplicity is illustrated here. It has the Empire waistline so becoming to the young girl or the small woman with its girlish figure. It belongs to the drapery family, though the straight sillhouette is also followed. The smart pockets are really useful as well as being ornamental. The collar, fastened so smugly here, is especially attractive if left hanging loosely. Sometimes a swagger shoulder cape is worn with a coat of this type. The suit coats vary in length, from the very short Eton jacket to the coats in knee length or longer. As a well-known designer said to me the other day, "But, Madame, it is a matter of temperament, alone. End the coat where you please." "The stuff dreams are made of," seems to have been used this year for the evening wraps. They are so soft and lustrous, so marvelous, and yet so simple, they seem in perfect harmony with the times. Of course velvets, plushs, broadcloths and satins ar the favorite materials, but they are so different in colors and combinations of colors that they do not seem the same old materials. The one illustrated here is very; very simple, and absolutely irresistible. The collar is chammingly draped, the yoke effect gives so becoming a line, that one is tempted to say, "This is my ideal." THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE Atlanta, Ga.—Despite the war Negroes seem more determined than ever to educate their children. That seems to stand out plainly in the number of applications Atlanta University is receiving for admission in October when school opens. There are many applications from young boys which seems to show that their big brothers are helping them or that their parents are taking occasion to give the little son a chance while the big sons are training for war. Whatever the reason, Atlanta University is glad to see t he Negro race maintain its hold upon education as a guarantee of future progress. Dean M. W. Adams has returned to the University after a short visit to the sky farm of Professor Webster in north Georgia. This farm lies 3,500 feet above sea level, making a pleasant mountain resort for Prof. Webster and some of his friends on the faculty. Mr. A. S. Huth, who has been called the "university wizard" because of the way in which he makes things grow is justifying that honor by piling up sixty-five tons of hay for his large herd of jersey cows, by having a daily yield of thirty gallons of rich jersey milk for the dining hall, by selling and canning more than two hundred bushels of tomatoes and almost as many beets, and by having fall crops of spinach, turnips, beans, white and sweet potatoes, lettuce, carrots, kale and onions. President N. B. Young of the Florida A. and M. College said last week as he saw Mr. Huth's work: "That is real efficiency." Many of the old students have reported fine success in a financial way, resulting from their summer's work in the north and said they are eager to get back to old A. U.. Mr. Charles James is a clerk in the large central market of Worcester, Mass. Prof. G. A. Towns recently addressed the branch of the N. A. A. C.

Can Negro soldiers be trained slong with the whites of their respective states in the cantonments of the South? One element says “Yes; the safety of any kind of American soldier should not be a matter of question anywhere the stars and stripes wave, Every sec- tion of our country should be taught to respect the national uniform. The South should be permitted to get used to’ seeing dusky faces behind army muskets and Negro manhood clad bat- tle array.” Another element pleads for a change of soil, with a view of avold- ing all possibility of racial clashes among the hot heads of the blacks and whies and to prevent onrbreaks hat) may lead to greater friction every- where.

The Jewisk people from whicl Solomon came were very much mixe: With the colored race: This inter-mix ing dates as far back as Abrabam, fo1 Abraham's son, Ishmael, was born of -Hagar, an Egyptian woman; and the Egyptlans came from Mizriam, the second son of Ham, who was the father of the colored race. (Genesis, chap ter 16.) Joseph, 2 son of Jacob and Rachel, the great and wise Governor under Tharoah, who saved so many thous. ands from death and starvation, mar- ried an Egyptian, a colored woman, fand she bore him two chfldren, Eph- .talm and Manasseh, the father of two of the twelve tribes of the Children of Isragl. (Genesis Chapter 48.) Be- sides them he had no children. Moses, the great Hebrew legislator and Jaw-giver, married a colored wo- man, ana Etheoplan, a daughter of Cush, the son of Ham, by whom he had| children.

Salmon, a man of the tribe of Judah, married Rahab, 2 Canaanitish woman, u descendent ef Canaan, and Canaan was axon of Ham. They had a child whose name was Boaz, the ancestor of Jesse, David and Solomon and no children born of colored women are thought to be white. (Matthew 1:3-6.) Solémon was doubtless of both Se- metic and Hametic extraction. To add to this, Solomon's mother, Bathsheba, wliom David married, was a Canaani- tixh woman, the wife of Urlah the Hittite. (If Samuel 11:26-27; 11 Sam- ucl 12:25; Matthew 1:3,) Hence Sol- omon could not have been white, but yellow or mulatto. His mother, Bathsheba, who had been | the wife of Uriah, the colored soldier, wax alo a Hittite, descendent of Heth, the second son of Canaan, the fourth son of Ham. (See Genesis 10215.) Historians say: “They were short and thick set peaple, of a yellowish complesion, with black hair, but with-} out beards, ete” + Not only is this trpe, but there was Hamitic blood in all of the Kings that came to the throne of Judah, and his- tory says-that there were twenty sue| cessive Kings in the line of David, for Judah, hhy~elf the father of the tribe ee ee a ae | Christ came, was married to a Canaan: ]itish woman, who was named Shutrang beside her he had no other wife.

The -scripture ‘saith: “The sceptre shall not depart from Judahn or a law-giver from between his feet, until Shiloh came” Then Shiloh, or Christ, David and Solomon, indeed the whole tribe of Judah, were children of colofed Women. (Genesis 38:1-23-45.) — ( If Solomon was living tn the Unitpa States of America today, he would be called a Negro, he having Negro blood in his veins, . ‘The Chinese and Papanese are called Negroes for the same reason and have ‘been dented the right to attend some schools in this icountry. It requires no argument to‘prove that Hiram, King or Tyre, was a colored mah. All his- torlans know that Tyre was a city of Phoenteta, a dark race descendent of Ham, and therefore a part of the Ham- {tle race. Hiram, the architect, who built the temple, was also a colored man. His mother was a Jewess, his father was a Tyrian, a man of the Hamitic race. See Kingx, 7:13-14, which reads as fol-. lows: “And King Solomon sent a nd fetched out of Tyre, He was a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtah, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker of brass and he was skilled with wisdom and understanding and cunning to work all works in brass, and he came to King Solomon and brought all his works.” Hence, the most superb and costly edi- fice ever built by man-was built by a colored man. It is not necessary for me to tell you anything about the work of the Temple. ‘This “Book of Inspira- ton” explains If. Consult this book. We see that Freemasonry was ex7a to the world by Mulattoes or Negroes and every Mason, however prejudiced he may re against the Negroes today, ought to Le reminded that the Masonite iltar around which kings and princes how, the world over, was given to the world by Negroes. ‘Two Negro kings and one Negro arch- itect—New England Craftsman, FOR RENT—Two Stores in Savan- nah Home Association Building, Mints Street, one door from West Broad.

Work will again be source and wages low. We wonder what will be the personnel of that advisory council which is to counsel with the President in the conduct of the war? What agency or power could select such as would be both competent for their task and acceptable? Negro longshoremen and unionists made a splendid showing in their parade of Labor Day. Their success is significant of many greater things which they may accomplish through organized effort. Hoke Smith, senior senator from Georgia, marched down Pennsylvania avenue in the honor parade of the New National Army; Tom Hardwick, junior senator, was busy opposing the draft in every way that he could. Georgia is well represented—or misrepresented. Negroes all over the country, and all fair-minded, right-thinking people of other races, believe that the government would establish a dangerous precedent if it should give ear to the morbid suggestion to cease to locate Negro training camps near Southern centers. It would be temporizing with the mob—it would be deferring to the force and threat of prejudice. Let the government courageously adhere to its original policy of locating its soldiers, black and white, for the best interests. NEW ENTERPRISES The Tribune is glad to note the advent into the business life of our community of the Reserve Loan and Investment Company and the Twilight Reapers Investment Company—two newly created corporations which are to engage in the loan and realty business. From the grade and character of the men promoting and managing these concerns, we predict a successful future, if only they will adhere to good business principles in their transactions and dealings. They are mostly men who have already achieved some success in their individual fields; they should easily succeed in joint endeavor. We congratulate them and wish them God's speed in the field of business full of great opportunities and limitless possibilities. POLICE AND "RAILROADERS" The quality and grade of service in public businesses, public service companies, public utilities and on public carriers has been gradually growing worse, descending during the past few years, in this city. This condition began to develop with the advent into political power and prominence in this city of a certain cheap brand of politicians whose only ideal was their own public pre-eminence and perpetuation in office. The official slates of the old regime were washed off, new payrolls and rosters were made up, with the singleness of purpose above indicated. An element of white men from the rural districts was imported to take the scores of minor positions in the municipal service, and to furnish material for keeping up the political fences and building the political re years, in this city. In the numerous positions of the municipal service, the lower positions especially, on the police force, the city inspection service and perhaps in other occupations, not strictly under municipal control and direction, but connected and associated with the city government, in some of those elusive, adroit relationships, known alone to ring politics, we have them. On the police force there are several men who are conspicuously harsh and mean toward colored people when their duty brings them in contact. They come up to a situation to restore order, but instead they create it, promote it and increase and intensify it by their rough and rash manner of dealing with the situation. They are too loose and unbridled of tongue, too quick to threaten force, too quick to resort to club and shot gun. There are many instances of abuse and impoliteness in public offices, stores and other places employing a cheap grade of clerks. On the street cars, there is another considerable number of these "new arrivals" rough, rural ruffians. The employing company "gets them, cheap," and, of course, the grade of service they render is poor. They go "down thar at Savannah to railroad," as they say. They appear to feel deputized to defend all the interests of the Savannah public against Negroes; they proceed to drive and curse Negro passengers; they have no patience with honest and reasonable inquiring—though it is a part of their business to facilitate travel in every way; they are arbitrary and at times will not even answer questions; or they are abusive and insulting. These are not mere charges. They can be proved and sustained by many examples. We think very few complaints reach the company because the travelling public feels it useless or are resigned to the generalness and commonness of the practice. Only a few days ago, a conductor was extremely abusive—threatening to strike a colored woman. This was a sensible, quiet intelligent colored lady who was assaulted. The matter in detail has been reported to the company, which usually attempts or affects to remedy the trouble. Their corrective measures, at most, amounts to a gentle reprimand, and the practice continues. Nothing seems to deter men like these. Upon slightest provocation they break out, again and again. They come and go in rapid change and succession in these positions, which they hold only until they get something better. A great many colored people do not ride on the cars at all, and use the railroads only when necessary because of this aversion to these bad characters. As colored people grow more intelligent and self-reverent, the less will they take of this imposition if the only means of e-caping it will be by avoiding it,—staying off the cars. In this sense it hurts business and the owners and promoters of enterprises would be businesslike to put a stop to it. If these public servants are ignorant they should be taught; if they are both ignorant and mean they should be suppressed or put out. SOLDIERS OF FREEDOM President Wilson, has addressed a warm message of national welcome to the new national army. He characterizes the men as "Soldiers of Freedom." We print the text in full, for purpose of discussion: Washington, D. C., Sept. 3.—Soldiers of the national army were welcomed into the nation' service today by President Wilson with a message of affectionate confidence and a prayer to God to keep and guide them. Everything these young men do, the President told them, will be watched with the deepest solicitude by the whole country, and the eyes of the world will be upon them because they are "in some special sense the soldiers of freedom." The first soldiers for the army raised under the draft law started from their homes for the training cantonments Wednesday. The President asks them, as brothers and comrades in the great war, to keep straight and fit by a standard so high that living up to it will add a new laurel to the crown of America. "The White House, Washington. "To the Soldiers of the National Army: You are undertaking a great duty. The heart of the whole country is with you. Everything that you do will be watched with the deepest interest and with the deepest solicitude not only by those who are near and dear to you, but by the whole nation besides. "For the great war draws us all together, makes us all comrades and brothers, as all true Americans felt themselves to be when we first made good our national independence. The eyes of all the world will be upon you, because you are in some special sense the soldiers of freedom. Let it be your pride, therefore, to show all men everywhere not only what good soldiers you are, but also what good men you are, keeping yourself fit and straight in everything, and pure and clean, through and through. Let us set for ourselves a standard so high that it will be a glory to live u pto it and then set us live up to it and add a new laurel to the crown of America. My affectionate confidence goes with you in every battle and every test. God keep and guide you! The first clause in the second paragraph, which runs. "For this great war draws us together, makes us all comrades and brothers, as all true Americans felt themselves to be when we first made good our national independence," is a beautifully inspiring and patriotic expression of the foremost American ideal and is eminently worthy of the exalted official head of the nation at this period of national apprehension. Will its effect—mental and moral—upon all classes of Americans be what it ought? Will it cement the great moral and economic forces of the nation into a dynamic, determined unit? Will it stir the hearts and souls of men to lay their lives down upon the altar of freedom—stir them to the point of "regretting that they have but their lives to offer," fire them with such a courage as will bewilder and terrorize the pitiless enemy on foreign soil? The beautiful statement expressed in the note carries the deep melody and rich resonance of affectionate confidence" and sincerity. It might go down in the world record as a beautiful and eloquent epitome of a nation's war principles. Ten millions of Negro Americans, furnishing five hundred thousand of America's most vallant and loyal soldiers, are reading that clear-cut felicitation and prayer,—and wondering—and asking: Are we really "soldiers of freedom?" Will this "great war draw us all together?" Is there any indication or guarantee of racial freedom? Will the confusion of bloods, the black and the white, spilled on the battle fields of Europe, for common cause be sufficient to wash away the stain of race hatred, cleanse from the sin of nation-wide discrimination, and nourish and bring to bloom the dying flower of "fellowship? Is there the great and broad background of National Protection, full Opportunity, Justice and Equity, which makes good, strong manhood and loyal soldiers—of all subjects? We believe, that even yet, the American conscience has not yielded its reservation of innate prejudice and meanness toward the American Negro, — we know it because we witness its unleashed manifestations, its heartless, bloody exhibitions, ever and anon. Nor will that conscience break with its idols until the stern realities of ruthless warring dawn upon the nation—not until the fallow fields of Flanders are I beyond, be fertile with the flour of American youth, fallen and faded "somewhere in France." It is going to take appalling necessity and death—and even more necessity and death to drive America to acknowledge the awful majesty of Truth and Right. But as surely as the stars endure to rotate, just so surely and just so, inevitably must Truth and Right be established and enthroned. America may still remain "joined to its idols" but History and Experience and Justice will not be reversed or contradicted—Right must win, ultimately, inevitably, absolutely: OUR DISGRACE' Nothing reported from the battlefields of Europe has been more brutal, more inhuman, than the lynching of a Negro a few weeks ago in Memphis, Tenn. That shameful affair, followed by the horrors of the East St. Louis debauch of arson, torture, and murder at the very hour when the notion is professedly standing as the defender of manhood rights and human freedom, must seem incredible to the civilized world. There are evidently men among us as savage and cruel as any we have denounced across the sea. Unless the government of the United States sets itself resolutely to protect the sacred rights of its citizens, who at last will blame the twelve millions of the colored race if they rise in determined rebellion to vindicate their rights by the only forces left at their command? No other race has equalled, in patient suffering of injustice and wrong, the colored race. At times it has almost seemed as if they had won their plea for justice by obedience to the Christian teaching of returning good for evil. But they too are human, and the day may be nearer than we think when lowly, enduring patience, outrage beyond measure, will give way to the spirit which will demand justice. It was out of this spirit that America was born. Put yourself, white American citizens, in the colored man's place. How long would you endure at the hands of your fellow-citizens the cruel injustices that are being heaped upon him?—Our Dumb Animals, Boston, Mass.

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE NATIONAL BUSINESSL EAGUE (Continued from Page One) favorable conditions, and gratefully recognizing the progressive attitude taken by many of the white friends in the South toward our advancement and their efforts for the betterment of our schools and living conditions in general, in Tennessee, for example, we nevertheless urge that our southland be made safe for all men to the extent that criminals of every class shall be punished by due process of the law, that adequate school facilities shall be placed within the reach of all, in the rural districts, as well is in the small towns and cities, with better school buildings and with better trained teachers; that better housing conditions be provided on the farm and plantations for tenants, with garden spots and other inducements to make the dwelling place a home instead of a hovel; and that our people shall share in the production of their own toil and receive higher wages. We cherish the memory of our great founder, whose genius and spirit abide with us today. We seek to carry out his program of racial good-will and co-operation. We share the conviction, commercial and financial welfare of our whole country that the races shall learn to trust each other more, shall share with each other in counsel where their interests are inter-locked and cooperate for the progress and happiness of each and all. We call attention to the opportunities along commercial, industrial and financial lines now open to our people, and urge upon them the wisdom of preparing to seize these opportunities that are made possible by the large earnings of our own people, and by the willing co-operation of the financial interests of the South, to assist individuals of our race who have shown good business judgment, integrity and dependability in matters financial and commercial. We bow in humble submission to the will of the Heavenly Father who has taken from us our energetic co-worker and second vice president, Hon. Jno. E. Bush, of Little Rock, Ark., who was devoted to the work of the National Negro Business League as he was to every other effort for racial advancement. This organization has had no more faithful worker, nor has the race had a mere earnest and unselfish leader. In the passing of John L. Bush, we recognize the removal of one of our most steadfast and dependable supporters and we express to his family our deepest and most sincere sympathy in this their great loss. It is also with deep regret that we have learned of the death of Dr. Hollis B. Fissell, principal of Hampton Institute, which occurred Sunday August 5. 1917. In his passing, Hampton Institute loses a constructive leader and a fine administrator and the nation loses one of its foremost educators. He was a warm supporter of the National Negro Business League and one of the best friends that the Negro race had in the South. We greatly deplore his death. Liberia's condition on account of the European war is critical. Lack of overseas transportation facilities and depletion of public revenues invite the world's most patient sympathy and aid and now in as much as Liberia has become an ally of the entente countries, she is entitled to all the consideration and recognition given to the other nations united in the compact. Therefore, be it Resolved: That we ask for Liberia fair and just treatment such as will preserve her sovereignty. Be it Resolved: That we ask the United States Government to re-open the coaling station on Liberian territory as recommended by the American Commission to Liberia, in 1909. We believe this would not only raster American interest but would also be a stimulus and encouragement to Liberia herself. Be it Resolved: That we request the President of the United States to appoint a Commission to inquire into the condition of American citizens abiding in Liberia which would indirectly benefit the Republic. Be it further Resolved: That the Negro press be called upon to arouse a healthy public sentiment favorable to Liberia and for American assurances of those things which are vital to its continued existence and progress. We record our appreciation of the National Negro Health Week as carried The Metropolitan Cigar Co. and Sanitary Dairy The Metropolitan Cigar Co. and Sanitary Dairy Our Hand-made 2 for 5 CENTS CIGARS the BEST SMOKE ever for the PRICE. CANDY, THE DELICIOUS KIND, 20 CENTS PER POUND forward under the direction of the league and so efficiently promoted by our Corresponding Secretary, Mr. Emmett J. Scott. The Health Week was observed in 1915, and was one of the last important undertakings of national significance by Dr. Washington. During the campaign conducted this year more than 200 communities participated by cleaning up and more than 50,000 pieces of mall and literature were distributed. As further evidence of the importance of this movement reference might be made to the co-operation of Hon. Leo M. Favrot, supervisor of rural education for the state of Louisiana, who organized the entire Negro teaching force of his state to act as leaders in their communities to observe Health Week. The record of the Health Week campaign in Louisiana is incorporated in Mr. Favrot's annual report for this year. Whereas, the National Clean Up and Paint Up Bureau, with headquarters at St. Louis, Mo., gave hearty and encouraging co-operation through its chairman, Mr. Allen W. Clark, and Whereas, the bureau, in order to stimulate interest in the movement, donated three silver engraved cups to be awarded as prizes to the three communities whose report of clean up work showed the best organized plans and most effective results, which prizes were respectively awarded to Atlanta, Ga.; Salisbury, N. C.; and New Madrid, Mo., be it Resolved: That we heartily commend this Health Week campaign and that we urge our state and local leagues to co-operate in every possible way for a more general observance of the campaign during the year 1918. Be it further Resolved:That we heartily thank Mr. Allen W. Clark and the National Clean UP and Paint Up bureau for the three silver cups donated for the pledge of future co-operation in stimulating the Health Week as promoted by the National Negro Business League. Whereas, we have learned that it is the purpose of Hon. W. T. Andrews, of Sumter, S. C., and a member of the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League, to establish a Negro daily newspaper in the city of Baltimore. Maryland, to be known as the Baltimore Daily Herald, he it Resolved: That we commend the enterprise to our people in all parts of the country as worthy of their hearty support. Whereas, the National Federation of Women's Clubs have issued a call for a Day of Prayer, at which time our people all over the country shall be asked to assemble and implore the Almighty for wisdom and guidance in this particular time and crisis of our racial life. Be it Resolved: That we most heartily commend this movement. We record our unstinted appreciation of the many courtesies accorded the National Negro Business League in its Eighteenth Annual Session held in the city of Chattanooga. Tenn. We desire particularly to thank the local committee of arrangements, with Mr. G. W. Franklin, Jr., as chairman, and all his associates, for the most excellent arrangements made for our convenience and pleasure; recording thanks especially for the use of the Lyric Theatre, the fine auditorium of the court house, the Government Park on Lookout Mountain, the National Guard Armory and for the many other conespecially to thank His Excellency, veniences and courtesies. We desire Governor Tom, C. Rye, His Hinor, Mayor Jesse M. Littleton, and Mr. J. Read Voight for their most cordial and sympathetic addresses of welcome. We appreciate also the address of welcome delivered by Prof. W. H. Singleton, Miss Mattie R. Jackson and Mr. H. D. Alexander. We desire also to thank the daily press, particularly the Chattanooga Times and the Chattanooga News for the liberal space given to the reports of our convention and for the sympathetic editorials bearing upon the purposes of the league. Without co-operation such as given the league by the daily press, it would be difficult for us to effectively prosecute the great work which the league is undertaking to carry on.

Text of the Lesson, Ezek. xxxiv, 11-16, 23-27 — Memory Verse, 12 — Golden Text, Ps. xxiii, 1 — Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. A better title for this lesson rather than the one given would be "The Shepherd of a Restored Israel," for it is the record of a time yet future when they shall never again be a prey to the nations (verses 27-31), when the King of Israel, the Lord, shall be in the midst of them and they shall not see evil any more (Zeph. iii, 14, 15). Then shall the twelve tribes be onation in their own land, and one King shall be King to them all, and they shall never again be divided into two kingdoms, and God shall make with them an everlasting covenant of peace and dwell in their midst forevermore (Ezek. xxxvii, 15-28). There are still those who say and teach that God is done with Israel as a nation because of all their sins, but such people must be wholly deaf to the words of the Lord in Jer. xxxl, 35-37; xxxvii, 23-26, where he says that until moon, moon and stars cease to shine He will never cast off His people Israel, notwithstanding all that they have done. The testimony of the Spirit through Paul is just the same in Rom. xl, 1, 2, 25-27. They are the only nation that God ever chose specially for Himself and called the everlasting nation (which is the literal translation of two Hebrew words in Isa. xlv, 7, given in the A. V. as the ancient people). They will be the first righteous nation on earth, and then will many nations be joined to the Lord and the earth be filled with His glory (Isa. Ix, 1-3, 21, 22; xxvil, 6; Zech. ii, 10-13). Our lesson is one of the greatest shepherd chapters in the Old Testament, but Jer. xxill is another, and there we read that when the King, the Righteous Branch, shall have been raised up unto David the deliverance of Israel from all nations will be so great and wonderful that their coming out of Egypt shall not seem anything to be compared with it (Jer. xxill, 3-8). The title "Shepherd of Israel" takes us back to Gen. xlx, 24, and on to Ps. xxxl, 1, and Isa. xl, 11, and Rev. vii, 17, and only in the glorious future will our precious Ps. xxill have its complete fulfillment. Many cannot see in the lesson of today anything more than the Good Shepherd who saves us as individuals and keeps us and cares for us in every way and carries us in His arms and on His shoulders; the Great Shepherd who lives His life in us and the Chief Shepherd who will reward us at His appearing (John x; Heb. xiii; I Pet. v), and we must see and know Him as such before we can see and know Him as the future Shepherd of Israel. It is strange, indeed, that so many believers, truly saved people, have no heart for the things of His kingdom; so many preachers take no interest in Daniel or Revelation or any prophecy, and as one recently said, "If I can get my people saved and safely to heaven I do not need to bother with the things of Daniel and Revelation, which I cannot understand." Is it not a possibility that to such our Lord might say what He said to the two on the way to Emmaus, "O fools, and slow of heart, to believe all that the prophets have spoken!" (Luke xxiv, 25.) In the days of Jeremiah and Ezekiel there were those who were more interested in the welfare of themselves than of others, who ran without being sent by the Lord, who spoke lies out of the deceit of their own hearts and caused the people to err by their Hes and their lightness (Ezek. xxxiv, 2, 8, 10; Jer. xxill, 16, 17, 21, 25, 26, 32). It is possible that there are still such false prophets, and the Lord will reckon with them in due time, for He is against them, and the reckoning will be a very serious matter for them. Every true prophet or teacher should be the Lord's messenger with the Lord's message, and His word to them is, "Hear the word of the Lord, hear the word at My mouth and give them warning from me" (Hag. 1, 13; Ezek. xxxiv, 7, 9; till, 4, 17). To all such the comfort is that. His word will never fall to accomplish His pleasure, and He will watch over it to perform it (Isa. iv, 11; Jer. 1, 12, R. V.). Let us always remember that, while in all the Bible there are words for each individual heart, when God says Israel He means Israel, the descendants of Jacob, who was called Israel, and hot the church, and I have not yet found any place where the church is called Israel or Israel the church. Ezekiel was a prophet of the captivity and evidently carried away in the second deportation, with Jeholachin (Ezek, i, 1, 2). Daniel had been taken in the first company in the reign of Jeholakim. Jeremiah was left in Jerusalem (Jer. xxxix, 11-14). These men had a "Thus saith the Lord" for all they said, and through them He was comforting and encouraging His people. Our lesson verses, 11 to 16, are certainly plain and clear statements concerning the gathering of Israel from all the countries where they have been scattered back to their own land. Verses 23 to 27 tell of the one true Shepherd who shall then rule over them, the true David or Beloved, the Son of Mary, of whom Gabriel said that He would sit on the throne of His father David and reign over the house of Jacob forever (Luke 1, 31-33). Lesson verses 17-22 give light on the sheep and goat judgment of Matt. xxv 1960 West Broad Street Correspondence School of Photo- graphy W.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Dan. i, 8-20—Memory Verses, 19, 20—Golden Text, Dan. i, 8—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. In Daniel and his three friends we see four Jews, men of God, in a difficult place, glorifying the God of Israel. In Daniel himself we see one of the greatest men of God that ever lived, with whom the Spirit associates Noah and Job and whom our Lord Jesus spoke of as Daniel the prophet (Ezek. xiv, 14, 20; Matt. xxiv, 15). Captives like these are represented by Jeremiah's basket of good figs as sent to Babylon for their good, and the good of others, and the glory of God (Jer. xxiv, 1-7), as Joseph was sold into slavery in Egypt for his good and that God might be glorified in him. Believers are not on earth now for their own comfort, but that in us the life of Jesus may be made manifest and Christ magnified in our bodies, whether by life or death (II Cor. iv, 10, 11; Phil. 1, 20). The Lord gave Jehoiakim and some of His people and the holy vessels into the hand of the king of Babylon or else they would not have been there (Dan. 1, 1, 2). It was God who gave Daniel favor and tender love from the prince of the ennuchs; also He gave to these four knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom and gave Daniel understanding in visions and dreams (verses 9, 17). Thus in all the Bible story we see God holding strongly with those whose hearts are whole toward Him, a God who worketh for those who wait for and upon Him (II Chron. xvi, 9; Isa. lxiv, 4, R. V.; Ps. lxil, 5). It will be so in our daily lives if we are as true to Him as were Daniel and his friends, and we may prove and make manifest that it is God who worketh in us to will and to do of His good pleasure the things that are pleasing in His sight (Phil. ii, 13: Heb. xil, 21). Our lesson story is briefly that the king of Babylon gave orders to the master of his eunuchs to select from the royal Jewish captives some young men, physically well favored and of good education, that they might be taught the learning of the Chaldeans and be with him in his palace. They were to be well nourished from the king's table with such food and drink as he himself used and at the end of three years brought before the king (verses 3-5). Not many young men, even in our day, would have taken a stand against such good eats, as the boys call them, but Daniel knew that this was food which had been first offered to idols, as was the custom of the heathen, and he could not with a clear conscience partake of it (Acts xv.29), so he asked and obtained favor of the prince of the eunuchs in this matter, for God was with him (verses 8-16). Those who find only a so called temperance lesson here are about as wise as those who think that the teaching is just this—that a vegetable diet is, on the whole, the most healthful. I do not think that any one can write more strongly against the beastly sin of drunkenness and the evils of strong drink than I have done, but to take a lesson like this in which it is a question of worshiping God or idols and tone it down to a mere matter of ordinary self control seems to be as bad as some other treatment that the Bible is receiving at the hands of its friends (7) today. Some folks need to be reminded of the words of our Lord Jesus in Matt. xv, 10, 11. "Hear and understand not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man, but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man." Along with that keep I Corvl, 9, 10, but note all the sins mentioned and thank God for verse 11. Daniel could stand against the worship of idols, but when their beautiful names, each of which had something of God or Jehovah in them, were taken from them and heathen names substituted (verses 6, 7) Daniel submitted, for that did not affect his worship of the true God, and long afterward we know that the Lord Jesus submitted to be called a glutton and a winchibber and a devil and in other ways to be numbered with transgressors. Sometimes we can glorify Him by submitting to wrongs done to us, but when it comes to worshiping God or the devil there is only one thing to do, as we shall see in our next lesson. May we all have Daniel's purpose of heart in cleaving to the Lord and the grace of continuance so manifest in him (verses 8, 21). It is one thing to have a good purpose, but quite another to carry it out and prove year after year under all circumstances a patient continuance in well doing. Continuance is the proof before men of true discipleship, and the lack of it is evidence of unreality (Rom. 11, 7; John viii, 31; I John 11, 19). Daniel saw the beginning of the times of the gentiles. We have come to the beginning of the end of the same, as we saw in a previous lesson. But God is the same, and we need the same purpose and continuance that were seen in Daniel, and as never before, for the churches are full of helpless and worldly conformity, and the times are dark indeed. But the morning cometh. We surely need the wisdom which only God can give if we would understand the times and our right relationship to God and the world, for the wisdom and learning and scholarship of the age are utterly at fault. They know not the thoughts of the Lord; neither understand they His counsel (Mic. iv, 12). Seaboard Air Line Railway "The Progressive Railway of the South" NOTE CONVENIENT DAILY SCHEDULES Lv.

Probably banking and {insurance are the two most intricate businesses in which members of the race have yet undertaken to go. There is much de- tail work In connection with these two very high-class enterprises which can only be mustered by coming into actual contact with the work. . -The childJearns the art of walking by testing out its strength. The singer learns to "sing by constantly trying. So it is with those who are regarded as business factors in any race. They make good,in whatever line of human endeavor they may engage in propor- tion as they deal in practicalities, rath- er thah in glittering generalities. The point we wish to stress in this connection is simply’ this, we must not take it for granted that our people will trade and do business with us ‘for no ssteater reason than the fact we arg “Negroes.

Many a person has gone along imagin- ing he was doing well, because some person had flattered him and caused ‘him to think that he-had measured up to the standard front every view point, when, infact, bis business was simply ‘a joke. - Every, twventieth century business mun, white or black, welcomes friendly criticism from supporters and patrons jof his business, The word “diligent” in business, uueans more than steady in application, persevering, attentive, but it means that a man should study to Know his Mpusiness sv well and’ the trade which he is bidding for, until the upkeep of his stock and the general appearance of his place will be so appealing and Tuviting that the people with cash in hand seeking bargains will not only find it pleasurable to do business at his place but profitable, as ‘well. # No, diligence in business does-not znean simply putting on the noise in Dusiness, ‘as is altogether too frequent {vith many of our people, whose op- portunities are very bright to build up a real thriving and substantial busi- ns, if they would only tuke the time to do a little lard, straight thinking.
