The Negro Farmers To Study Boll Weevil Negro Farmers To Study Boll Weevil STATE TOUR DIVIDED INTO FOUR SECTIONS Fifty Automobiles to Make Trip to Southwest Georgia Fifty or more automobiles will meet at Cordele, Ga., on Monday September 24th for the purpose of beginning, perhaps, one of the greatest tours colored farmers ever made as a body to gain direct information about the boll weevil. From Cordele the party will go to Tifton, Valdosta, Thomasville, Camilla, Dawson Albany and Americus, covering practically the entire week. The movement is in charge of the co-operative extension work in agriculture and home economics for the state of Georgia and is being worked up by Eugene A. Williams, farm demonstrator of the Ga. State Industrial College. All the colored agents in Georgia are co-operating to make the movement a success. In order that the farmers who make this trip might receive the best information possible, the U. S? Department of Agriculture has furnished two of its experts, Mr. Bradum Moore, located at Savannah, formerly of Texas, and Mr. J. G. Oliver, district agent and field agent in weevil control, who will accompany the party, direct its movements and impart valuable information gained from years of contact with the boll weevil. Every Negro farmer in Georgia is invited to make this trip. The automobiles will proceed to Cordele Monday, September 24th, in four divisions: Division No. 1, M. E. Stallworth, farm demonstrator, Americus Institute Americus Ga., in charge, Americus to Columbus Ga. and south to Florida. Division No 2, Mr. O. S. Oneal, farm demonstrator, Ft. Valley High and Industrial School, in charge, Fort Valley to Atlanta and north. Division No. 3, Bunswick to Dublin, Ga., Mr. R. E. Robertson, demonstrator in charge. Division No. 4, Savannah to Macon and north. Eugene A. Williams. Ga. State Industrial College, in charge Farmers in Division No. 4 will meet at Millen, Ga., Monday morning September 24th at 10 a.m. Ministers, business men and all public spirited men are urged to take this movement up and insist on farmers of your acquaintance making this trip which, perhaps may mean the salvation of Georgia's cotton crop.

H. V: Conyers, Home Improvement Teacher A good home garden is an important adjunct to the home, it should serve at all times as a silent but powerful demonstration of its value, all the management being kept simple and within the reach of every farmer in the community, thus encouraging others to have good gardens. The garden is a place to be loved; a triumph of skill, perseverance nad delightful work; a real educator and character-builder. The home garden is an excellent family, physician because it furnishes an abundance of fresh, wholesome vegetables, all of which contribute their part toward keeping the body healthy. Preparing the land is very important, all the stumps, stones or objectionable things of any kind should be removed, the plowing being done ultimately from eight to twelve inches deep. The legumes including all the peas and beans are very rich in nitrogen and should be saved along with the leaves, straw, swamp-muck and barnyard maple which make an excellent compost. Chop the manure in with a disk harrow, or if your garden is small, use a hoe. This prevents the manure from washing away and gets it worked into the soil so that it comes in contact with the suds and growing roots. In cultivating a good home garden it will not only furnish vegetables enough for the average family but a surplus to sell, and store the pantry shelves for winter. Now is the time to begin the fall gardens. Housewives must plant every available spot. ATLANTA UNIVERSITY NEWS Atlanta Ga.—Atlanta University considers itself immediately represented in France by the presence of chaplain, Rev. T. B. Lathop, who sails this week to enlist in Y. M. C. A. work among the soldiers. His wife and little daughter go to Mr Lathop's home in Wisconsin to remain during his stay abroad. The Atlanta University publication No. 19, dealing with Economic Co-operation among Negroes of Georgia, is out and is being widely circulated. This report, as the title indicates, is an intensive study and is valuable in showing both the amount and the variety of business conducted in Georgia by Negroes. Out of the large number of cities dealt with in the report it is seen, for example, that in seven of the larger places 1,907 places of Negro business do an average annual business of $13,001,834. Considering that this business is done in the face of all sorts of handicaps, the results can not fail to be of tremendous encouragement to all Negroes who have in mind a business career but who have very positive fears of the handicaps they must encounter. These conference reports have gone all over the world and this one will doubtless be given the same wide circulation so that the world may get a just appreciation of what the Georgia Negro has been able to accomplish despite his handicaps. CORRECTION It was stated in a news item in the Tribune last week that the party which was in the accident last week in Mrs G. H. Bowen's car, was returning to the city after purchasing lots that at Hope Crest. This was an error. The party consisted mainly of persons from out of town who had purchased lots lots sometime ago and had come to the city to look over their holdings at Hope Crest. KINDERGARTEN MEETING All persons who may be interested in establishing a free kindergarten and night school at Yama-craw Centre, are invited to meet at Urban League headquarters, West Broad and Gwinnett Line, on Monday, September 17 at 4:30 p.m. A great many of the people of Yama-craw are calling upon us to establish this work, and a large attendance is desired to consider the plan for managing it. J. G. Lemon, director. Miss. Edith Crawford and Miss Julia Smith left Thursday for New York where they will reside this winter. WAR DEPARTMENT'S POLICY AS OUTLINED BY SECRETARY Troops will be Trained Later As Separate Units Washington, Sept. 10.—Negro troops of the national army will be organized in separate units, as is done in the regular army, and, as far as possible, will be trained in the states where they are raised. The call for Negroes to mobilize at their camps will be postponed to allow the officers at the camp to arrange for the organization of these separate units. Both white and Negroes of the selective draft forces will be given an opportunity to volunteer for the service in the battalions of troops for the service on the lines of communication, their work being military, but not combatant. However, there will be Negro fighting regiments of the national army, as there are of the regulars and the National Guard. Secretary Baker outlined this policy of the War Department to-day in a statement dealing with the method to be followed in the organization and training of Negroes liable to draft under the national army act. Presumably the Negro regiments of the regular army and the National Guard will be retained as they are as fighting units The statement follows: "The call for the colored men to mobilize will be postponed until one of the later calls, so that they will be called to camp at a separate time, giving an opportunity for the officers at the camp to assemble the organizations of which they are a part at one time. They will not be called last, although they will be included in one of the later calls. "All colored troops called in a state which has a cantonment in it will be trained there. Provisions will be made, but has not yet been made, for the assembling from these states which have not cantonments of their quotas of colored soldiers for training." "Opportunity will be given to both the white and colored troops of the selective draft forces to volunteer in certain line of communication forces which it will be necessary to organize, and it is hoped that an adequate number will volunteer for this military, but non-combatant service. But there will be both combatant and non-combatant colored regiments." The effect of the policy announced by Secretary Baker will be to delay the mobilization of Negroes of the national army until the units already assembled or under orders to assemble this month has been organized and are under training. When the confusion incident to the organization of these regiments, brigades and divisions have been cleared up, there will be time to assembled or under orders to assemble regiments, battalions or companies of Negro troops. Of the 687,000 men called for as the first increment of the national army, it is estimated that approximately 70,000 will be Negroes. The following Negroes drafted in this district were ordered last week to report at the local board headquarters, 17 Bay street, east, on Thursday for service. A subsequent order was issued which called only for white men to report in this order and the Negroes were told to report on October 3rd. All day Thursday the office was besieged by Negroes who reported for service but they were told that the call for them was a mistake and that they would not be needed until next month. 258—Lewis Grant, colored, Port Wentworth. 564—Levis Brantley, colored 6 Smart street, Newton, West Savannah. 945—William Washington, colored.

[Continued on Page Eight] NUMBER 2 Haven Home School Near Completion ONE OF MOST MODERN SCHOOL BUILDINGS IN THIS SECTION Plant When Completed will Cost in Neighborhood of $75,000.00 The new Haven Home - Industrial school, situated about six miles from the city, on the Montgomery cross road, is nearing completion and will be ready for the opening of school on October first. The new building which occupies the central portion of a ten highly elevated ten acre site, is of red press brick and consists of sixty-five rooms of varying sizes. It is one of the best equipped and most modern school buildings in this section of the state, every possible convenience being installed for the comfort of teachers and pupils. The building is lighted by its own electric plant which occupies an out concrete building and the water is supplied by the school's own plant. The sixty-five rooms are distributed over four stories. On the second, or main floor, are to be found the superintendent's office, a large chapel, library, teachers' and girls' parlors two dining rooms, one for teachers and the other for girls, a large kitchen, sewing room, an exceptionally well lighter domestic science room and three school rooms. The third-floor is taken up with baths and lavatories, dormitory rooms, a slick ward with every convenience and individual clothes lockers. The fourth floor is similar to the third. The dormitory rooms are of various sizes, the majority are two-bed rooms while there are a few large enough to accommodate three, four and even five single beds. One of the features of the third floor is what is called the big girls dormitory room. This is a large room which is large enough to accommodate about ten single beds. On the fourth floor is a similar room for small girls. These rooms will only be used in the event there is an exceptionally large crowd of pupils. In the basement or first floor is a gymnasium, trunk room, six school rooms including one for kindergarten work, lavatories for day pupils, laundry and furnace room. The building is to be steam heated, contains large wide halls, and fronts on the main road with two large wings extending back with a beautiful court in the center. It is finished in light oak. The dormitory rooms when furnished will contain a dresser, chairs and two single beds. Each room has two single iron beds. Each room has two small closets and is well lighted. The grounds surrounding the building are now being laid off for concrete walks, other improvements which, when completed will make the school one of the most attractive sites in or around the city. The school was established in this city at the corner of Henry and Burroughs street, the site now occupied by Cuyler Street school, 35 years ago, by the Methodist Episcopal Church. It was conducted at this site until about three years ago when it moved out to temporary quarters at Sandfly station. The new building was begun about nine months ago and will cost when completed in the neighborhood of $75,000.00. Both boys and girls will be admitted into the day school which opens October first, but only girls will be kept in the boarding department. NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC The Berean Baptist Academy will open on Monday, October 1, at 9 a.m. Miss A. E. Maxwell and Mrs. E. Dennis have been elected as teachers of said academy.

ENTER THE HIGH COLLAR New York, Sept. 7.—"Fashion will out" is a new adaption of an old saying that is perfectly true these days of strenuousness. Fashion has ever shown herself to be an everready ally of patriotism, and it is with the slogan of "Preparedness" that she has advanced ideas for the fall wardrobe of the Women Patriotic. The windows on Fifth avenue are filled to overflowing with all the latest designs of the Fashion world. There are smart dresses to be worn on the street without a coat, there are stunning coats, and there are suits to please the most fastidious. So, you see, we can all plunge into the planning of our wardrobes with the assurance that the styles of early autumn are ready for inspection. O. S. L. When the Tunic Points the Way to Slimness Conservatism is the keynote, conservatism developed to the nth degree. A charming example was a blue serge and satin dress I saw the other day. The narrow skirt was of satin, with a tunic of the serge slashed in the front. Instead of a collar, there was a band of white Hercules braid following the line of the surplice closing. This square meshed braid takes the exact shape of the bias collar, making it especially suitable for this use. Side Drapery Versus Straight Silhouette The side drapery and the straight silhouette are still battling for supremacy. The long tunic is particularly smart for the walking costume. The beige serge dress illustrated here is stunning, each detail being so carefully worked out as to make a perfect whole. The long tight sleeves are quite a feature this autumn. The novel shaping of the collar, the use of tassels instead of buttons, and the touch of embroidery on the skirt, all make for that distinction so eagerly sought by the woman of taste. Heroes and Colorings Just at present there is quite a vogue in Paris for naming suits and dresses after prominent Americans. Wilson, Pershing, Roosevelt and Lincoln have all been so honored! In the lovely new colors decreed by French they are quite irresistible. Gray, in every shade, is fashionable. Smoke, mist, steel, chinchilla and the gray browns, such as castor and beaver, are the dominating colors for street costumes. Munition gray, rust brown, and terra cotta are especially smart. I saw a charming dress, at one of the big hotels the other evening, of champagne-colored jersey cloth combined with raven-blue. Indeed, the softness of the vivid autumn colorings is one of the most striking things about the present mode. Of course, our national colors are displayed everywhere, but not so obviously as at first. We are using a great many of the different shades of red and blue, so that one need not go dressed as the American flag in order to "show one's colors." Beads and More Beads Everything is header, from slippers to hat and back again. It is not really surprising, for the effect gained by a handful of beads in harmonious colorings against a somber background is delightful. Tube-shaped beads are the latest arrivals. Sometimes the formality of a belt is entirely dispensed with, these tube-shaped beads simulating a belt and buckle. Iridescent beads, bronze green and green purple, made a simple little frock of dull green crope de Chine quite marvelous. Braiding and embroidery promises to play as important a part in the scheme of things this year as last. The All-Black Costume Serge is being worn for street cos- tumes almost as much as the ever popular blue. Favorite combinations are navy blue or dark and beige. Allwhite dresses are also very popular. Made on youthful lines they are as becomingw and proper for the debutante as for her mother. Of course, black satin, Georgette crepe and velvet will be worn a great deal this winter for the more dressy costumes. The D. McCALL black gown illustrated here has long hip-drapery which seems to emphasize the slimness of the silhouette. The high collar again has come into its own again. It has, indeed, been banished too long, for it certainly gives an air of trimness to the costume, not obtained by the comfortable open neck. This one is of black satin of the dress, and fastens with tiny black jet buttons. Exit Straw Hats We are saying good-by to the straw hats. Everywhere one sees the hat of velor, duvetyn or black velvet. While the latter is a general favorite still, there are very clever affairs of green, yellow, blue and brown to harmize with the costume worn. Purple velvet hats are especially smart worn with the blue serge dresses. S. J. A. HOLDS GRAND LODGE The Georgia Grand lodge of the St. Joseph Aid Society held a successful session last week at Brookman, Ga.. It was the seventeenth annual session and was held on Wednesday and Thursday of last week. Grand Chief Rev. B. S. Hannah, still heads the institution. On Wednesday morning, September 6th, Chief Hannah called the meeting to order at 10:15 o'clock and throughout the session a spirit of harmony existed. Never before in the history of the society in Georgia has such a peaceful session been witnessed. There were about three hundred in attendance and everyone seemed pleased with the work of the officers. All death claims were paid with the exception of two that were paid at the grand lodge. On Wednesday night the convention met at the C. M. E. church, where Rev. M. C. Mitchell preached a soul stirring sermon from the subject "Lift Him up." The grand lodge officers for the ensuing year ase: Rev. B. S. Hannah, G. C.; W. M. Lockwood, vice chief; B. F. Seabrooks, G. F. S.; H. Bryant, G. Treas.; L. A. Clark, G. W. P.; W. I. Whaley, grand chaplain; C. R. Harris, grand marshall; Dr. E. M. Pinckney, grand medical examiner; E. W. Pope grand recording secretary; auditors, John Byrd, W. H. Jenkins, Rev. W. O. P. Sherman, Jr. The convention ended Thursday night at 10:20 o'clock. The next session will be held at Valdosta, Ga. DR. ROBERT R. MOTON SPEAKS TO FARMERS Union Springs, Ala., September 5th Speaking to two thousand white and colored people heretoday, Robert R. Moton, principal if Tuskegee Institute, urged all the people of both races to stand by the president in the present war crisis and to save the crops already raised and, show patriotism by planting winter crops now. The meeting today was the culmination of a unique campaign which has been conducted among the colored people of Bullock County to awaken them to a full sense of responsibility in raising and conserving the food crops. Under the leadership of Mayor I. B. Feagin and other leading white citizen the cooperation of progressive colored farmers was enlisted through Mr. I. B. Ily the colored demonstration agent for the county.

McGowan respectively, both of whom are successful Negro farmers and the prizes which were awarded by Judge T. M. Campbell, district demonstration agent and G. R. Bridge forth, director of Tuskegee Institute Agricultural department, were presented to the successful contestants today. Stirring addresses were made by Mayor Feagin, Hon. R. L. Cope and other leading white and colored people. Principal Môton in his address took occasion to speak of the Negro soldiers at Fort Des Moines, Ia., and of the fine impression they made during his recent visit there. "I was never more proud to be a Negro," he said "than when I heard from the lips of the leading white citizens of Des Moines that because of the gentlemanly conduct of these Negro officers, the whole attitude of the white people of the city had been changed regarding the entire Negro race." Concerning the location of Negro soldiers in the South, Dr. Moton said: "For thirty-five years, Dr. Booker T. Washington, whose broad understanding of the problems of the South and whose wise council in the adjustment of these problems was recognized and acknowledged by both white and colored of the country, urged that the races in the South set aside misunderstanding and suspicion and forge ahead for the ultimate and greatest good of the South and now that he has passed from among us and left us a rich heritage of Negro progress and mutual understanding between the races, let us not falter in our upward progress because of any new test of our patience, sympathy and faith in one another. The establishment of soldiers' training camps throughout the country together with the trying economic condition brought on by the turmoil of a world war creates a new test of our manhood and womanhood and will tax to the utmost our fortitude and self-possession in the fullfillment of our Christian duty.

All who were able to do so have enjoyed their vacation, the summer is past, and the days and nights of activity have begun. Let us give to Masonry that consideration which it deserves. Let us not be drones in the hive. Let us put our shoulders to the wheel, and make the coming year one of the very best that Masonry has ever enjoyed. The officers should "take stock." Plans should be made for the coming winter. Qualified brethren should be asked to prepare short lectures on vital Masonic subjects. Occasional entertainments should be projected, and general preparations made to interest the brethren and "brighten up" the lodge. All this requires work, as well as study. Nothing worth while can be obtained without effort. It is especially the duty of the Master and the officers under him to give sufficient time and attention to the work of Masonry. If they cannot do this, let them give way to those who can and will. Masonry must not suffer for the want of leaders. Let the 1917 officers make a long pull and a strong pull to close the year in a blaze of Masonic glory. Now is the time to lay foundations to make 191S the banner year in Masonic history. Masonry's Duty Today In all the ages of the past, Masonry filled its particular sphere faithfully and well. The question has often been put, and not always by enemies of Freemasonry, what is Masonry's duty in our day—has it a mission still to fulfill The churches, the charitable societies, hundreds of altruistic organizations, are doing noble work for the uplift of humanity. Is Masonry still needed today? We answer emphatically, yes. Masonry stands unique among all human institutions—it has a solemn duty to perform among the sons of men. Those who are attracted to Masonry are among the very best men in every community. They do not become members of our great fraternity through mercenary or unworthy motives—only because of a desire for knowledge and to be useful to their fellow men. With these picked men, Masonry looms large as a factor in human uplift—next, indeed, to the church of God. More and more it is the duty of Masonry and of Masons in our day to devote their energies and their endeavors to the promotion of this great work—to help the needy, aid the suffering, protect the widows and the orphans, raise high the moral standard, and hasten the advent of that great era when man shall be brother unto man in every clime beneath the sun. This, then, is Masonry's duty today—to bring about universal brotherhood, to inaugurate universal peace, to alleviate human suffering in every form, to make for purity, righteousness and to the of universal justice. Masonry not Common Masonry should never become common. Its perpetuity and its value rests upon the intelligence and moral personnel of its membership and a daily exemplification in their lives of its cardinal virtues. Let us heed well the points of fellowship and not only put forth the hand to save a falling brother, but also to assist him to rise to higher planes of life and usefulness. Let not the rivalries of trade or the jealousies of ambition mar the environment of the Temple; and may we take to our harts the great truth that tehre is no service so acceptable to the infinite God as the unselfish, sacrificing service of our fellow men—Masonic News. Eternity only will reveal the noble deeds of Masons and the mighty influence of Masonry. We know not what the morrow may bring forth, but, if we do our duty today, we need fear no evil. You will never regret your service for Masonry. It will repay you an hundred fold. If you faithfully earn the wages of a Master Mason, they will enrich you spiritually and mentally. Better than Riches You have heard a Mason, or one not a Mason, remark that few rich men are of the fraternity. To the man who is deroting his every thought to the accumulation of riches, Masonry is all thing to avoid. Our institution teaches men to treat their fellows fairly and that is the duty of every man to aid the less fortunate. The principles of the fraternity are in conflict with the system whereby most, if not all, great fortunes have been accumulated. You may have heard said of a brother that he might have won riches had he devoted less thought and energy to Masonry and more to his business or profession. Masonry is a means to spiritual wealth and offers nothing in the way of spiritual reward. Masonry is intended to take man's mind away from the temporal things and to prepare his soul for happiness eternal. Masonry offers something better Within the tiled doors of a Masonic lodge, peace and concord reign. The storms without can find no lodgement within. NEGRO BUSINESS MEN MUST MEASURE UP TO STANDARD Negro Business League Weekly Letter By J. C. Lindsay "Diligent in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord" is a scriptual injunction which has stood the acid test of time, ages upon ages, and not only is it serving the present age to a wonderfully great purpose, where it is religiously adhered to, but is destined to serve, perfectly well, generations yet unborn. The Negro Business League, in its weekly letter for several years, has put forth its best endeavors to impress the people with money in hand to spend, to at least give their own kith and kin a trial. Many of the business and professional men and women have seen fit to commend the writer for what he has tried to do along this line. An old qualit' philosophy handed down to us from the fathers, runs thus: "what's good for the goose should be good for the gandet." We are trying to say by this, in as much as we have gone out of the way in many of our previous letters to admonish, advise and plead with the people to do business and trade with the men and women of the race engaged in business, we feel only fair and right that we now take some time and use some space in trying to have our people who may be engaged in business, see the importance of measuring up to that standard set by the men and women engaged in business of the other races. Why should the Negro restaurant keeper expect a decent man or woman who is able and willing to pay for first class service, to come into his place, yea, dive, to be seated at an old broken down table, covered with an old greasy worn-out cloth, or an old soiled colored table cloth with a swarm of files buzzing over his or her head, and have to sit under such unfavorable conditions, some times for fifteen and twenty minutes, before an impolite, impatient person takes a notion to sullenly comes around ar asks them "what you want?" Then, after this in some places, one's punishment has just begun. For during the next fifteen or twenty minutes you are forced to wait, you may see things going on in the preparation of the order given, which added to the scene already described, destroys your appetite for the anticipated meal, and especially is this true, when you take into account the rusty knives and forks and cracked dishes placed before you. These, in some places, are actual conditions, truthfully and honestly described, in absolute good faith for the sole purpose of causing our people engaged in this class of business, which must go on as long as time lasts, to wake up and look around and see what it is that takes so many dollars from their places to the Greek, who serves his customers on sanitary marble tables, with sanitary paper napkins, clean bright silver and china and quick, intelligent service. This is an age of survival of the fittest. The man who would build up a paying business, matters not by what name it may be called, must put into that business brains and intelligent service. The time has passed, if it ever was, when members of the race would trade with each other and by so doing, build up large permanent enterprises, where deserving young men and women of the race could find profitable employment, where they, as patrons and customers had a feeling at all times that they were not getting their money's worth. The careless, indolent, grouchy, ignorant ones among us, who are losing time and wasting what little they, or some one else has managed to get together in trying to keep open a place, know but little, and prehaps care less, just how much injury they do the race, by their operations, which can mean nothing more nor less in the long run, but discredit and failure. It takes no philosopher to see by what standart we are measured, when the other fellow has to do the measuring, which seems to always be his job. He never feels called upon to measure the race by the high standard set by Booker T. Washington who built the greatest industrial educational center in the world, nor by W. E. B. WuBols, Kelly Miller. Wm. Pickens, nor any of that school of literary giants; nor does he measure us from a business standpoint, by the high standard set by that Negro wizard, who built by systematic planning, hard work, integrity and politeness, the finest and biggest barbershop in the world, out of whom grew the biggest industrial insurance company, operated by the race in this country; we refer to A. F. Herndon. There are many other great men and women of the race, who, in their special line, have set the standard for the race very high indeed, but unfortunate for us, the other fellow, who seems to have the job of doing the measuring for them, or thrush his own willfulness never knew them. Therefore, when he puts the measure or standard up to the race, he usually finds the failures in every line and points them out to us and to the world as the best possibilities of the race. For this reason, one can see at a glance, how important it is for us as a race, to do our level best in what ever matter we are engaged, whether it be in the professions, business, street sweeping, ditch-digging, or any other of the many what-nots, let's do it so well that the other fellow who does the measuring will feel ashamed of himself not to give us full credit of measuring up to the standard of men, who at least, do things right. We want our enterprises conducted in such a way, that no man will pass along the streets and point them out as Negro places, because of the slovenly way they are kept. No stranger, who passes along Peachstree street in Atlanta, without having been told in advance, that the barber shop he sees running from street to street with thirty odd chairs, with as many high class tonsorial artists, with out one piece of wood to be seen anywhere from floor to ceiling, would think for one moment that such property belonged to a Negro man, unless such a person had learned to know the possibilities of the Negro. The introducing of the Negro to the Negro, as well as to the other fellow, is really the work of the Negro Business League, national, state-wide or local. We must know each other, encourage each other and in good faith, tell of our weak points as well as of our strong points. Let us come out with facts and thereby strengthen one another on those points where strength and encouragement are most needed.

Entered at the Post Office at Savan- ah, Georgia as second class Mail. 6 White soldiers at Camp Gordon, Harris, near Macon, have attacked four women riding in the suburbs. Colored people have asked their white employers to excuse all female servants in time to reach home before dark. It has been reported by the Citizens Committee, which investigated the Houston riot, that the Chief of Police of that city is unfit for his job. They have laid the fault at the same place it was discovered in East St. Louis upon the officials. The growing inpatience of Negro soldiers with insult and abuse, this same committee calls Vacation is nearly spent—the school bells will soon peal out their unwelcome sound; Johnny is already pastless and suffering in anticipation of the opening so near at hand. Johnny is unable to appreciate his great opportunity; Parents and guardians can well afford to take the time to impress this valuable thought; it may mark the turning point in the career of a child—from aimlessness to definiteness of purpose. The Crisis has well remarked: "When we did not work, we were called lazy and criminal. When we did work, (East St, Louis), we were murdered, our wives and children outraged and burned, our homes destroyed." The Labor Union, unwisely directed—a monster worse than all the pitiless and ruthless caricatures of Capital. THE MAYOR AND THE MOB The great number of people, all over the country, who still believe in peace and fair play—those who have faith that the law is still sufficient to correct civil wrong doing—will be interested to know that Mayoix, Fred Mollman and his private secretary, Marlon Aheard, have been indicted by the grand jury empanelled to investigate the East St. Louis riots. The grand jury arraigned Mayor Mollman for "his dilatoriness" and recommended that he be removed from office. In its findings, the jury said, "Mayor Mollman must be judged by his actions as proven by the evidence. If his failure to call upon the sheriff and to deputize citizens who offered their services, were the result of a lack of ability or of fright, the office should be taken from him and given to and efficient person. "If his failure to act was because his sympathies were with those who sought to drive the Negroes out of East St. Louis, he should make room for a chief executive who is in favor of forcing 100 per cent, of the law. "The law-abiding citizens and industries and the respectable laboring men should unite and demand the resignation of the Mayor as the greatest good he can do his city." The Mayor's secretary is charged with conspiring with and aiding and abetting the rioters by ordering the police and militia to destroy cameras, "preventing moving picture men from making pictures of the mobs." According to the official findings of the jury, "No man gave greater assistance to the rioters and assured them more safety from prosecution than did Abeard when he ordered that photographers he denied their free right to take pictures." THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, SATURDAY SEPT. 15, 1917 and indulging the mob, was clearly last week, and appears to be the main thought out in a Tribune editorial of point of inter-racial outbursts. If officers exercised their prerogative to pill upon the necessary forces to suppress rioting; to quell disturbance, rather that aggravate and to forment it, we should have less of the mob and bloodshead. - We called attention to the conspicuous lack of courage, good judgement and general fitness, in so many public officials, where these qualities were highly necessary for the proper discharge of public duty. In the case of the East St. Louis Mayor and his secretary, there can hardly be any claim of lack of ability to know what to do; it looks more like a case of fright or conspiracy. Certainly in the case of the Secretary we have a member of the mob, pure and simple. The conduct of both men is shameful and deplorable, and the good citizens of their constituency—especially those who volunteered their services, in the crisis to restore order—should lead the worthy movement to remove the men from office, summarily. To do less is to acknowledge the appalling deprivation of that people, and their reversion to barbarism. East St. Louis cannot atone for its crime, the greatest horror America has ever furnish to history, but it can at least apprise the world that there are two classes of people there,—tho the good be few. Under the above caption the Quilt man Free Press states: "Anyone who reads the Sunday Macon Telegraph shuddered at the details of the shocking story which was carried on its front page. "Four young girls of Macon lurred by soldiers in an automobile to a lonely road, were dragged from the car and ravished as their calls for help were heard a half-mile way at a sleeping convict camp. "This has happened despite the closing of the red light district of Macon, despite the activity of the Committee on Public Welfare and despite the united, but futile effort to legislate morality. "And it will happen again." This crime is revolting and should cause every mother in that community to shudder for the safety of her daughters. It becomes more revolting when it is understood that the participants are members of a race with hundreds of years of civilization. This crime was not heralded by the newspapers, no five inch head-lines announced it, but extra efforts were made to keep it hid from the public. Thus it is with offenses committed by this race. This offense is worse than that committed by the Negro troops at Houston, Tex., but it is apparently being passed over, so far as the public is informed. Just suppose that the lustful soldiers were colored! The country would have been waked into a frenzy by glaring newspaper head-lines and accounts, with the result that a frenzy by glaring newspaper head-every colored soldier wherever located. THE TRAGEDY OF SPEEDING The ever-recurring automobile tragedy, so common recently on the county highways, is nearly always assignable to reckless driving, the man at the wheel oftentimes being incited to his hazard by too much liquor. There is certainly no reconciling whiskey-drinking and auto-driving. The two practices are simply incompatible; do not go together. The awful truth of it is impressed so often by the ruthless destruction of life and limb such as we had on the road one night last week and several times prior to that occurrence. Recently, a young woman in a ride of revelry, was killed when the car in which she was riding, driven by a drink-crazed man, swung too far out of the road. We should all be a great deal better off, if the laws forbade riding above a certain fixed, reasonable rate of speed on the highways, in the cities. It would be a good thing if such sane driving could be enforced. It would be less perilous for horse drawn and other vehicles and pedestrians. As it is now, a great many slow vehicles and pedestrians are put to the inconvenience of avoiding certain much-travelled roads. This should not be. Owners of automobiles and drivers of them are specially urged to exercise more caution and circumspection both in town and out, and to be content with a fair rate of speed at all times, in the interest of human life and limb and happiness. We know a great many who need this word of warning and reminder, and we urge them again to be careful. With an automobile, "it happens" so easily and so quickly, one can scarcely tell how it did happen. YOUNG PEOPLE; EXLIST It would be very much brighter for the prospects of our people along all lines, in this city and elsewhere; if more of the young men and women were enlisted in the cause of civile and social movements. It is as unfortunate as it is conspicuous that the great possibilities for informing, organizing and directing our people, which the younger men and women possess, because of their better training, their greater energy and vigor and their keener grasp of conditions, are not being applied in the interest of racial advancement. This inertia, this indifference, this apathy among the younger people is manifest in many places, but it is particularly characteristic of the young men and women of our city. The churches seem to have lost hold on them; they are not found identified with the charitable and social uplift organizations here in any great extent; few have gone into business except through accident or necessity. They appear to have no vision of altruism, no interest or concern with the trivall and struggle of the people generally; they are not particularly displeased or affected by racial calamities and setbacks; they find no joy or enthusiasm in race, success and achievement. They live largely in the present, and selfishly; they are not lonely for they are many. There are those who are in public position of one sort and another, who would be expected to be deeply interested in the people, because they are competent to see and capable of helping, but reflection discloses that few of these have any interest outside their particular spheres of necessary duty. We should point out to these the great need for their services in the interest of race advancement. We would call their attention to the critical period through which the nation is passing; we would remind them to strengthen and prepare to meet the changed conditions which are to furnish the aftermath of world war. There are great things they may do; great things they must do,—for themselves and for others. We who feel the burden and travail of our own people; we who have the full vision of the grave responsibility and the untold possibilities of the coming decade, urge upon our young people to awake, arise and accept the mantle of duty which already is theirs and awaits them. We adjure them to "ponder these things in their hearts." THE BUSINESS MAN'S STRUGGLE Time and experience have shown that, in business as in every human experience "honesty is the best policy." Great numbers of Negro businesses are being born each year to be managed and conducted mostly by inexperienced persons, because our forbears have had little opportunity to bring up their children in the factory, in the bank, in the store. We have to learn our little out of observation while in the capacity of seeing others in business. We are beginning to develop big business, in many cases involving the wide ramifications of commercial intercourse hitherto unknown to us. We are seeing and feeling the stern hand of competition and trading in the markets and exchanges. Surely, "the old order changeth." Early in our career in business our organizations and enterprises lacked capital sufficient to put them on a firm basis of competition and the promoters and managers lacked the business sagacity and commercial temper of their competitors. As a rule, too, we lacked the vision of patience to await the normal and regular rise and growth of enterprise. We did not know the history of the struggle of the great enterprises and industries of the world. We wished to see things grow up mushroom-like, in a night. Here we were doomed to be disappointed, in many cases discouraged and, sometimes, unfortunately, unscrupulous. Our patrons, while not wholly justified in their native prejudices, were, somewhat warranted in the conclusion that we could not compete—could not give back full value received. Here, then; is where the strand became strewn with the wrecks of the early attempts of Negroes to do business. Merchants and patrons, happily, began to study business, its resources, its dependency and development, and thus paved the way for giving struggling enterprises a full chance. Business confidence grew and a pride in the game struggle of the Negro business man began to show itself—and from then on, we began to reach the goal of full success. Negro businesses, today, are predicated upon the same commercial principles as the businesses of other people. All classes of business among us are aware that they must compete—that there is no sentiment of race in business—that efficiency and values count most or all. Our businesses must be kept clean and free of graft and injustice. Fair and honest dealing with the clientele must be rigidly observed. Mutual con fidence, respect and justice, with a proper regard for official relationship, must be maintained among the promoters and directors, where partnership or corporate relations exist. On no other foundations can great, successful enterprises be builted. We are demonstrating these principles in the successful enterprises we have developed. The recent Negro Business League session disclosed a growing number of Negro businesses all over the South and North, of every variety almost, but all founded on the operation of good business principles and a growing confidence among the Negro patronage and clientele. Right here in Savannah, we have a half dozen sound businesses, which have been built from the ground up, built because the promoters had patience and vision-successful because the public was receptive and open to conviction. Let us have more, and still more. Let us organize to husband and "turnover" among ourselves, the thousands of dollars which Negroes spend each day, each week. Years hence, we will wonder at our own stupidity and shortsightedness of today. There are a great many small businesses requiring little capital which Negroes would support, alone, which should have already taken their places among those already on West Broad street and elsewhere. Let the young men wake up and get to work at organizing to meet these demands, for it is business and commercial and financial strength which commands racial respect. There is nothing to be lost by facing the plan of competition, arranging and planning to "turn-over" more of our money within the race, and there is everything to be gained. There is a commercial struggle of the races, just as surely as there is a social and political struggle, and unless we develop a respectable industrial and financial rating, the basis of the social and political struggle will be little more than thin air. MISGUIDED MEN The national government, sensibly and magnanimously, rises to a. high sense of its duty when it mobilizes its troops, Negroes as well as whites, as it had originally planned to do. Upon reflection, now that the little storm of protest from demagogues and Negro-phobians has abated, it would have seemed past ridiculous and foolish if the government had allowed itself to be trifled with or turned aside by these misanthropes. The average man proceeds along in the way of life and human experiences adapting and accustoming himself to a great many things which are inordinate and unnatural. The omnipresence of color prejudice and race hatred will make a man of one class or race develop a feeling of superiority, while into another is bred the feeling of inferiority. The former arrogates and appropriates to himself full sway and domination over things; the latter acquires and resigns himself to what is assigned. Both grow "set" and calls in attitude and condition. So it is with individuals, institutions and governments, at times, under stress of prejudiced influences. Individuals have committed all sorts of wrongs; institutions have acted inconsistently from a false conception of duty or expediency; and governments have temporized and indulged. The institution of prejudice is built on a false conception of human and social values and standards. Because of this it exhibits many vagaries and inconsistencies. The nation is calling the Negro to the colors, to shoulder arms and to endure the horrors of the most brutalized warfare of all times; to die for a fiction called Democracy. The Negro soldier all but knows that, though he wins or helps to win the war, he can know no real freedom when he returns home. Already there are countless proposals and preparations being made in the military schedule to deal with him "specially"—as a thing apart. In fact right now the government seems to "be in the air" as to what to do with the Negro conscript. In spite of this, he volunteers cheerfully, loyally and in large numbers. Against all this, the Negro has served his country well; has made a good soldier in the wars of the past; can be depended on to do a great many things required in such a gruelling campaign as faces the nation. The plot thieks: Russia appears to go to pieces, politically, internally. The Germans win great advantages in fighting materials and resources and courage; The world has yisions of a long, drawn-out war, growing in brutality, increasing in general suffering, and ending—no body knows how. With thousands of the flower of American young manhood, marching, as it were, into the "very jaws of death," in mortal combat for Freedom and Democracy, America lacks the moral strength and courage to inaugurate and establish a reign of Freedom and Democracy on the very scene of soldier-making. American public opinion is not enough crystallized on the status of the American Negro to protect his life and property and guarantee him justice. The misguided, the visionless and narrow agitators, the political crank are in the ascendant—assiduous to keep alive the fires of hate. The public conscience is powerless to establish the Right, or lacks the courage to do so. Withal, we are going onward into the hopeless and uncertain history of the next few months or years—may be hapless history. We are awed if we think seriously, at the tragic possibilities wrap in the future; and we wonder that the hearts of men are so hard, their heads so unreasoning—and then we resign ourselves obsessed with a strange sensation of mixed anguish and foreboding—and wait.

C., September 12th Rev. W. H. Jernagin, president of the National Race Congress of the United States, issues the following call: The National Race Congress of the United States will meet in its second annual session at the Florida Avenue Baptist church, Washington, D. C., October 3 and 4, 1917. Every phase of race conditions in this country will be discussed, including the East St. Louis, the Chester, Pa. plots and the migration of the colored race to the North. Twenty-one states were represented in the last Congress. The officers of the Congress are appealing to race-loving people in every state to see to it that they are represented in October. The colored people are aroused in this country as never before and many prominent men of the race will be present. The churches, ministers' conferences, fraternal organizations, and all other organizations within the race that have for their object the uplift of our people are requested to send a representative to this Congress. Any race-loving man or woman is also invited. (Race papers please copy.) In addition to Dr. Jernagin, as president, the call is signed by Rev. M. W. D. Norman, chairman of the executive committee, Washington, D. C.; W. Calvin Chase, national organizer, Washington, D. C.; Rev. W. A. Taylor, corresponding secretary, Washington, D. C.; Rev. W. M. Alexander, secretary, Washington, D. C.; and Rev. J. C. Austin, chairman of the special committee of the Baptist Jubilee Convention of Virginia, Pittsburg, Pa. The call should be responded to by all classes of people. The voice of the race should be sounded in no uncertain tone on all of the great issues that affect the welfare of the 12,000,000 Negroes under the American flag. The meeting in this city October 3 and 4 should be the largest ever assembled for this cause since the Civil war. It should represent the best character, intelligence and public spirit of our people. It should with authority sound the highest note of Negro patriotism, race loyalty and economic progress. All Washington deplores the death of Councilman Harry S. Cummings, which took place in Baltimore on Thursday of last week. He was a leader in all that the word implies. He was faithful to every trust and earned all of the laurels that a grateful people placed upon his brow. He served well and died "in the harness." Washingtonians joined with Baltimoreans in paying the last tribute of respect at Mr. Cummings' funeral, which was held Monday. Attorney Edward H. Morris, of Chicago, grand master of the Grand United Order of Cold Fellows, spent a portion of Sunday in the city. He was entertained by Mr. Henry P. Slaughter. "The Care of Working Girls" was the theme interestingly discussed Sunday afternoon at the regular session of the Women Wage Earners Association at the headquarters. The principal speaker was Miss Ida C. Plummer, the well-known educator and secretary of the National Association of Colored Teachers. Miss Plummer pointed out the value of the working girl to the economic and social development of the country and urged that this class of race builders be given the sympathy, practical support and protection necessary to preserve their health, morals and general well-being. The Wage Earners Association is doing a most helpful work in this community for the industrial development of colored women. In the past few months they have placed over three hundred girls in good paying positions. Young women coming to the city from other points will find it to their advantage to visit the headquarters. Miss Jeanette Carter is president of the Association, and Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman is secretary. Mrs. Ida Wells—Barnett of Chicago, lecturer, journalist and social worker, said to have been the first person to visit East St. Louis after the awful riot and the first of the race to inaugurate a protest meeting, is announced to speak next Tuesday evening at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church, and will describe what she saw in the pillage city. The War Department has apparently worked out a solution of the problem of how to handle the Negro troops of the National Army, and as announced 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 PAGE SEVEN --- --- this week in definite form. The plan appears, to be satisfactory to the rank and file, of the race and to the soldiers themselves. According to the statement emulating from the War Department Monday the Negro troops of the National Army will be organized in separate units, as is done in the regular army, and as far as possible will be trained in the states where they are raised. Both white and colored men of the selective forces will be given an opportunity to volunteer to battalions for service on the line of communication. This will permit the use of men of technical knowledge, engineering, and care of supplies and animals, etc., for other than actual fighting. In all the army in France will need, according to estimates by experts, more than 100,00 men behind the lines for used along the roads and railway as indicated above. A great many battalions of both white and colored troops will be necessary for those purposes and the War Department feels certain that many of the Negroes of the selective draft forces will volunteer for that extra-military duty in order to be sent quickly to France. Assurance is given, however, that there will also be Negro fighting regiments of the National Army, organized and utilized exactly as those of the regulars and the National Guard. Washington business men are cooperating in the movement to carry the next meeting of the National Negro Business League to Atlantic City. That is the best selection for 1918 now under consideration. The East gets the big conventions next year. The National Medical Association goes to Richmond, Va., the Elks, the B. M. C. to New York and the Teachers to Harpers' Ferry. Now, if the Business League will settle on Atlantic City the chain will be complete and it will be possible for a visitor to take a single month off and attend them all. Prof. W. H. Hannum, of the faculty of Livingston College, Salisbury, N. C., is in the city, the guest of Dr. F. O. Williston. The District of Columbia Federation of Women's Clubs, of which Miss Marie A. D. Madre is president, has three big features for its fall campaign—to aid the East St. Louis sufferers, to add to the subscription for the relief of the Frederick Douglass Home and food conservation. F. A. B. CHURCT; FRANKLIN SQ. Rev. J. B. K. Butler will supply the pulpit of the First A. B. church tomorrow at each service. The pastor, Rev. T. J. Goodall, is attending the national Baptist convention at Muskogee, Okla., and in connection will take his month's vacation. The funeral of Mr. John H. Green will take place from the church, at 2 o'clock, Sunday. Rev. Lee preached last Sunday morning and Rev. Worthy preached at night. The monthly conference of the church will be held on next Monday night 17th. Each member is asked to give 50 cents on the 4th Sunday for premium on an increased fire insurance polite on the church. SACRED CONCERT AT FIRST A. B. CHURCH On Sunday afternoon, September 16, 4 p. m. there will be a very entertaining and inspiring sacred concert at the First African Baptist Church, Franklin square. This concert will be given in the interest of the great military Sunday school rally, which will be waged the fifth unday in September.

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 one nation 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 (Bzek. xxxvll, 15-26). 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; xxxill, 23-26, where He says that until gun, 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. xliv, 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. lx, 1-3, 21, 22; xxvll, 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. xlix, 24, and on to Ps. xxxl, 1. and Isa. xl, 11, and Rev. vll, 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 lies and their lightness (Ezek. xxxiv, 2, 8, 10; Jer. xxiii, 16, 17, 21, 25, 26, 23). 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; ill, 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 not 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. 1, 1, 2). Daniel had been taken in the first company in the reign of Jeholakim. Jeremiah was left in Jerusalem (Jer. xxxl, 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.

XII.—Third Quarter, For Sept. 16. 1917. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lessoh, Dan. iii, 16-27. Memory Verses, 17, 18—Golden Text, Isa. xliii, 2—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. We shall not understand this third chapter of Daniel unless we have grasped in some measure the second chapter. The Bible must be studied as a whole, and each book as a whole, and yet each as an essential part of the whole revelation of God's eternal purpose by His Spirit. As the heavenly bodies of our solar system and all the systems in the universe move in circles, so is it also with God's heavenly truths. The last two chapters in the Bible complete the circle, which begins with the first two, telling of this earth without sin or sorrow or death. The third chapter from the end (Rev. xx) completes the circle which began with Gen. iii, telling of the great adversary, his beginning in relation to the earth and man and his end. We have seen in recent lessons that we have come in the Bible story to the beginning of what is known as the times of the gentiles, but this book of Daniel covers the whole period and tells us of the end of those times, which we are now in the history of the world approaching or are already in. In chapter il we have God's revelation to Nebuchadnezzar of the whole period which began with Him and will end with the setting up of the kingdom of heaven after the times of the gentiles, a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, but shall stand forever, and these things are certain and sure (Dan. II, 44, 45). In chapter vill we have the same period covered in a vision given to Daniel and ending in the same consumption (Dan. vill, 13, 14, 27). To a man of the world like Nebuchadnezzar the lision was fascinating, as are the things represented by gold and silver and brass and iron to such people, but to a man of God like Daniel the whole thing was represented by wild beasts devouring each other. Chapters ill and vi are another pair showing what it costs to stand for God in these evil times, while chapters iv and v are another pair showing how God will humble all pride, to bring to repentance if at all possible or, if not, to bring to everlasting punishment. The vision of empire given to Nebushadnezzar so affected him that instead of making him humble by the honor thus conferred upon him by the God of heaven he became filled with pride and had a great image of gold made and set up in the plain of Dura and caused all the people of his kingdom to assemble to worship it, threatening with death in the fiery furnace any who would dare to refuse to worship the image which he had set up. Now here is another strange circle of truth, for at the very end of the times of the gentiles during the last three and q half years after the church has been taken away there will be another image set up by the world power that shall then be, and all who will not worship that image shall be killed (Rev. xiii, 14-18). The pride and blasphemy of the king of Babylon are seen in such a saying as "Who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?" (lil, 15.) But it will be exceeded by the blasphemy of the antichrist of the last days before he shall be sent alive to the lake of fire (lev. xiii and xix, 19, 20). Of all the multitudes who were assembled on the plain of Dura that day only three young Jews dared to refuse to bow down to the image, and that was because they knew and worshiped the only Living and True God. When offered a second opportunity to bow down and thus spare their lives they most decidedly refused in the glorious words of verses 17, 18. May our hearts ever cry, "Our God whom we serve is able." Bound in their clothing they were cast into the burning fiery furnace, which had been heated seven times hotter than usual, so that the flames slew the men who cast them in. But the three young men walked about in the furnace, unharmed, because the Son, of God was with them, and they lost nothing but their bonds. I do most heartily believe what the king's counselors and great men saw when these three came out of the furnace—that there was no smell of fire upon them, nor was a hair of their head slung (verse 27). So it will be in the last days when some shall refuse to receive the mark of the beast or worship him (Rev. xv). See in verses 2S-30 of our lesson how God was glorified in these men by the decree of the king that no one should dare to speak anything amiss against a God who could deliver in this way. The olly place where God was seen that day was in the burning fiery furnace, and when God allows any of His people to pass through fiery trials of any kind it is that He may be seen with us and in us, and He will fulfill the words of our Golden Text. In chapter IV we see this proud king humiliated, and the last word in his worldwide epistle is "Those that walk an pride He is able to abase" (iv, 37). We would do well to adopt as our own the words of Paul in II Tim. iv, 18, "The Lord shall deliver me from every evil work and will preserve me unto His heavenly kingdom." We should remember also that it is the purpose of the Lord to stain the pride of all glory and bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth that the Lord alone may be exalted (Isa. xxill 9; ii. 11, 17).
