WASHINGTON LAID TO REST IN TUSKEGEE EIGHT THOUSAND ATTEND FUNERAL OR GREAT EDUCATOR. TUSKEGEE A HALF MILLION DOLLAR MONUMENT. ENTIRI: COUNTRY MOURNS LOSS. Argua Receives Telegram Announcing Hour of Funeral Wednesday morning, at ten o'clock, the body of Booker-T. Washington was placed beneath the sod on the soil he loved so well, where he had reared to his own memory a monument more lasting than stone—the famous Tuskegee Institute. Before the country could recover from the shock of Dr. Washington's sudden collapse, it was prostrated by the news of his untimely death at the age of fifty-seven years. Dr. Washington was apparently strong and vigorous and destined to live many years, but the strain of overwork and business care was insidiously sapping his strength and vitality, and realizing at last his serious condition, he hastened to New York, attended by his loving wife and secretary. He consulted an eminent physician and took treatment in a private sanitarium. The specialists diagnosis revealed the fact that Dr. Washington was a nervous wreck, aging rapidly and that his arteries were hardening. When Dr. Washington realized the end was near, he requested that he be taken back to Tuskegee, and there, in the quiet watches, just before dawn, at 4 a. m. Sunday, he wrapped the drapery of his couch about him and lay down to pleasant dreams! Wednesday morning, at ten o'clock, eight thousand people, among whom were prominent men and women of both races, assembled to pay their last tribute and to add their eulogy to his character in its lofty and stainless integrity. Headed by the Board of Trustees, a procession formed and marched to the chapel behind the fallen hero whom the relentless hand of death had leveted to the dust. Only two thousand, five hundred could enter the chapel. The services were marked by the simplicity, characteristic of the man, and consisted in the reading of the Episcopal service and the singing of the jubilee songs so Moving Pictures Scenes of National Encampment of K. of P.'s at Columbus and Street Parade of I.

As some of the men said it was all the heart could desire. The attendance was large and representative. Keyed up for the occasion the audience gave a hearty response to the speakers. Mr. Hanford Crawford, former president of Struggs, Vandveoort and Barney, was constantly interrupted by applause, as he brilliantly challenged the men present to rise in their strength for the campaign of $50,000, which is just ahead. Mr. Hobart Brinmade was also enthusiastically received. Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, Dr. B. F. Abbott, Dr. Mosely, pastor of Tabernacle, Dr. W. W. Perry, Dr. W. H. Peck and Dr. S. W.

WILL VOTE ON SEGREGATION FEB.29 MAYOR KIEL CONGRATULATES PICTURE MGRS. Republican Officials Join in Celebration of 150th Performance of "Birth of a Nation," That Pictures Negroes as Brutes According to the daily press, the management of the "Birth of a Nation" celebrated the one hundred and fiftieth production of the photo play in St. Louis Monday night, November 15, with a dinner at the Hotel Jefferson. The guests attended the show at the Garrick Theater earlier in the evening and listened to a long distance telephone conversation between New York and San Francisco. The St. Louis guests were cut in on the line by means of individual receivers. They were told that St. Louis was a better town than New York so far as shows go. Mayor Henry W. Kiel occupied a box at the theater, party and was one of the after dinner speakers. According to the press reports, the mayor congratulated the manager and producer upon their success. The following compose the list of supper guests as given by the St. Louis Republics Homer Bassford, Louis H. Waltke, George A. Wipperman, Judge J. Hugo Grimm, Charles R. Graves, Dr. W. U. Kennedy, M. B. Anderson, J. M. McKelvey, J. B. Thomas, M. J. Collins, Col. Fred D. Gardner, Melville Stoltz, Walter Sanford and City Counsellor, Chas. Daues. Postmaster Selph was toastmaster. Mayor Kiel, Judge Grimm, Graves, Daues, and McKelvey are Republican office holders. J. B. Thomas is an aspiring Republican and ran for the nomination for Circuit Clerk against Graves two years ago Negroes are loud in their denunciation of Mayor Kiel and his Republican leaders for their action Monday day night. They point to the fact that the Negroes of St. Louis made a strong protest against the pictures when they were first shown here and a delegation of fifty representative Negroes called on the mayor and asked him to help prevent the showing of the pictures in St. Louis. Now, for him, his city counsellor and other Republican officials to shower congratulations upon the producer and managers of this photo play which holds the Negro up to ridicule and pictures him as a brute, they state is an affront to the Colored people and throws doubt upon the mayor's sincerity in the promises he made the committee of fifty to do all in his power to prevent the pictures being shown at the time they called on him. The incident is being widely discussed among Colored men, and many of the criticisms of the handling of the court proceedings when an effort was being made to prevent the show and punish the producers have been heard I again.

SPIRITED CAMPAIGN The Segregation Ordinance Explained by Geo. L. Vaughn February 29, 1916 has been selected as the day upon which the special election on the segregation ordinances will be voted upon. Under the initiative law, the Board of Election Commissioners must call the election within ninety days after it is officially notified by the Board of Aldermen that it has failed to act. The ninety days will expire on the 15th of February next. The voters will be called upon to consider two ordinances. One is termed an "Initiative Petition for Control of Mixed Blocks Occupied by both White and Colored People," and the other is called an "Initiative Petition for Segregation of White and Colored People." There are eight sections in the first petition and seven in the second. Both petitions provide that it shall be unlawful for white people to live in a colored block, or use buildings as places of assembly and that it shall be unlawful for colored people to live in a white block or occupy or use buildings as places of assembly. One of the petitions specifies churches, schools and dance halls. Both define a block as both sides of a street from the front of the lots thereon to the rear of such lots, between the two intersecting streets; but they differ in defining white and colored blocks in that one means a block where white people reside and no colored people live, and where colored people live and not white people live, while the other denominates a block in which seventy-five per cent of the people are white, a white block, and where seventy-five per cent of the people are colored a colored block. Negro servants of white people and white servants of colored people may live on the premises of their employers. Both petitions provide penalties or fines of not less than ten, nor more than one hundred dollars for each offense; and make each day's violation a separate offense. They also have a common provision to the effect that the invalidity of any part of the ordinance shall not affect the other portions thereof provided they can be given effect without the invalid part. Both are to go into effect in ten days after adoption. Should the ordinances pass, the definition of white or colored blocks would be as given in the section providing for a seventy-five per cent racial basis. Section four of the Petition for Segregation of White and Colored People makes it the duty of the building commissioner to prepare and keep on hand, maps, showing which are white and which are colored blocks and makes it obligatory on the residents of the blocks to give correct information as to whether the inhabitants of a building are white or colored under penalty of a fine. Section four of the Petition for Control of Mixed Blocks occupied by both White and Colored People, pursuits to provide a method for opening up new blocks where there are no buildings already erected. It is by far the most dangerous provision (Continued on page 4.)

LESSON TEXT-Joseph 8:1-18 GOLDEN TEXT—Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptising them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit; teaching them to observe all things whatever I command you; and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Matt. 18:19, 20 R. V. The story of Jonah is one of the most famous and most interesting in the Bible. In former series of lessons more extended use has been made of the book giving time to discuss its historicity and other questions involved. This time only one reference is used and that for the purpose of its missionary teaching. We accept the record of the book literally because similar facts are recorded in profane history but chiefly because of the testimony and the usage made of it by Jesus (see Matt. 12:40; 16:4 and Luke 11:30). 1. The Prophet Proclaiming, vv. 14. Jonah "paid the fars" (1:3) and "out of the depths" (Ps. 130:1) God delivered him that he might fulfill his God-appointed task. Even so the nation of Israel is today crying from out of the depths of its woe among the nations and will certainly be "delivered" when the king comes, that it may take its rightful place and fulfill its God-appointed tasks. It is a wonderful testimony of God's grace (v1) that God's word came to Jonah a "second time." Once he ran from God's command but God is the God of the gospel of a "second chance" and a third if only we repent and do his commands, but God does not give a "second chance" to the unrepentant (Num. 14:40-45). Verse 2 explicitly sets forth the message Jonah is to deliver even so we are to proclaim the Gospel (see I Cor. 15:14) not the speculations of men nor the subtleties of philosophy. The messenger of God will find his message in the word of God and will declare it. It is the word which reveals God's love, his plan of salvation, and the destiny of the saints. "By the foolishness of preaching" men will be saved. The word "preach" literally means "to cry out" or "call out" and implies that earnestness and insistence needful for a true advocate or witness of God. But the power is not in us; it is not the word of God mingled with the theories of men, or with such added to the word. The Bible is the soul winners true staff. Nineveh, vast magnificent and wealthy could not atone for its wickedness; its greatness only aggravated its condition. Jonah did not spend any time to acquaint himself with conditions or to do sightseeing but cried, "yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown." When he explicitly and minutely obeyed and delivered God's message he at once aroused and arrested the attention of the city. He did not attempt to present "credentials," nor explain or defend his message. He did not seek to harmonize it with "current thought" nor give it a "modern expression." He was blunt and without compromise but gave an opportunity for repentance. II. The People Penitent, vv. 5-10. Nineveh paid immediate heed to the man who did not slur over God's warning. Had the city continued in sin, it had not been delivered. Nineveh did four things and as a result they were saved: (1) They believed, "beloved God" (v. 5). All true repentance is conditioned upon accepting God at his word (John 13:20). (2) They evidenced humiliation (v. 6). They gave such evidence by humbling themselves in the sight of God from the king upon the throne to "even the least." There was no apparent attempt to qualify or to evade God's decree, but rather to accept it and by taking a proper place in his sight be delivered from the penalty of their just deserts. (3) They prayed (v. 8; cf. 6.7). Their prayer was intense. The kind of prayer that counts with God must also count upon God, and God "is slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy" (Neh. 9:17). Prayer that is effective is (a) grounded upon the word of God (b) forsakes sin and (c) obeys the will of God. (James 1:22; 2:17). (4) They made sacrifice (v. 8). More humiliation and prayer does not effect a remedy unless there is a merciless judgment executed upon sin. Did Jonah fall in his mission? No! for God's predictions of ruin are not absolute and unconditional (Jer. 18:7-10). Chapter four is the record of Jonah's petulance and of God's loving kindness. Nineveh continued for nearly 200 years subsequently but it was then so completely destroyed that for nearly 2,000 years its location was unknown and disputed though now yielding a rich harvest for the archeologist and Bible student. Can a nation be stirred today? For answer witness Mott and Eddy in China. In 14 of China's chief cities during three months of 1913, 7,000 of the leaders of that nation enrolled as inquirera. Have your class read carefully and powerfully Psalms 2, Matt. 28:19, 20 (Golden text) and Rom. 1:16. Perfection—The False and the True By NEV. L. W. GOSWELL. Superintendent of State, N.Y.C. Institute of Chinese TEXT—Net as though I had already attained, either were already perfect. Let us therefore as many as be perfect be thus minded.—Phil. S. II. 18. This text makes it clear that there is a sense in which Christians can not be perfect and another sense in which they may be perfect. --- The apostle states clearly that he has not already attained, neither is already perfect, or as the Revised Version reads, "made perfect." The verse preceding speaks of the resurrection of the dead, so that his disavowal evidently has to do with the perfeo- tion which will come in the future. It may seem to some unnecessary that a man should disavow this final perfection since he is evidently not yet raised from the dead; but the human mind is capable of very strange things, and this same apostle Paul speaks of some in his day who taught that the resurrection is past already. On some such basis, it seems, that teachers arose who declared that even now we may reach the perfection which belongs to the resurrection state. The apostle is clearly against such a doctrine. Bishop Moule, one of the most saintly men the modern church has produced, in commenting upon this passage says: "As far as my own observation goes, such views (i.e. of perfection) are not uncommonly attended, in those who hold them, by a certain oblivion to personal shortcomings and inconsistencies; by an obscuration of consciousness, and of conscience, more or less marked, towards the sinfulness of ordinary, everyday violations of the law of holiness in respect of meekness, humbleness of mind, long suffering, sympathy, and other quiet graces." Indeed, the saints of all the ages unite with Paul in declaring that they are not already perfect. The apostle, after suffering many things for Christ's sake so that he bore in his body the marks of the Lord Jesus, writes of himself as "chief of sinners." John Bunyan although he spent twelve years in Bedford jail for his Lord, calls his life story "Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners." When John Wesley thought he was dying, he reviewed his labors of sixty years, but could find no peg upon which to hang any hope of salvation; he could only repeat the sentiment of the hymn. I the chief of sinners am, But Jesus died for me. The same spirit was manifested by Charles Spurgeon, who said during the serious illness, that, if he got well he would have many things to preach, but just at that time four words were enough for him, "Jesus died for me." Dr. A. J. Gordon was a man of such saintly character that his very face gave evidence of the indwelling light. But the other portion of our text speaks of a sense in which we may be perfect. The context shows that the apostle is using the figure of a runner in a race. He has not yet attained the prize, but forgetting the things which are behind and reaching forth unto those which are before, he presses toward the mark. It is this attitude to which the word "perfect" is applied. The man has laid aside the weights and the easily beetening sin; he is not content with what he has attained, but forgetting that which is behind, he presses with neck stretched forth and every muscle strained, to the goal. It will be seen at once that this sort of perfection is very imperfect and is in no sense a finality. It only prepares us to be made perfect in the day of Christ's coming. Nevertheless we are bound by the grace of Christ to fulfill this ideal and not to put him to shame. Two matters are involved in the exhortation to be "thus minded." First of all if we feel like the apostle, we will have the lowly estimate of ourselves of which we have spoken, the feeling that we have not attained. Very far from Christian perfection is pride; on the contrary, humility is its very essence. Again, if we are perfect in the sense of which the apostle speaks, we will emulate him in pressing forward for the prize of final glory. This is the very opposite of complacency as to our attainment. It is said that Thorwalden once went because he was satisfied with a status he had made. "Alas," he said, "I shall never improve now, for I have reached my ideal." How ought they to be aroused who, because they have come to Christ and are living with some consistency, are satisfied! Life manifests itself by growth and he who is not growing may well examine himself to see whether he be in the faith. How good it is that the apostle goes to asquire us that "If in anything ye be otherwise minded, God will reveal even this unto you." May he shew us grace to wait in this light!

DICKSON’'S MISTAKE The Rev. W. L. Dickson has been in St. Louis raising money for a colored orphanage, of which he is president, at Gilmer, Téxas. As is usual with colored collectors for colored charitable and edu- cational institutions in the South, he thinks it necessary-to cater to the prevailing sentiment of the white man on the Negro question. Therefore, in speaking to those of his own race, he advises them to “segregate themselves.” He would start, evidently, a system of government meaning a nation within a nation, a black and a white town everywhere. Such a scheme could have no other result than the concentration of pov- erty, the concentration of ignorance, and the concentration of wealth, so that great extremes would exist in different sections of the city, instigating race conflict and retarding the advancement of the weaker elements. Civilization is promoted by the intercourse of variously endowed races, and no race has, as yet, lifted itself except through what it has borrowed-from other races. Avoid con- gestion; seek contact with better people and higher cénditions, so that your environments are not altogether your own but spring from sources and conditions calculated to improve you. It would be of advantage to the Negro to be so distributed amidst the popu- lation of this natign that, on all sides, he would come in contact with a higher civilization. He needs not to go off to himself and vegetate. We have no objettion to Mr. Dickson's orphanage, but we do object to Mr, Dickson's coming to St. Louis just at this juncture and taking a position that in any way is a defense of, or an apology for, segregation. Mr. Dickson, if he cares to, can segregate himself, but he does not seem to understand the American constitutional tendency—that tendency is to blend all nations into one—the Amer- ican. No Irish, no German, no English, no Italian, no French, no Greek, no Negro, but all American citizens, governed by one law. Give every law-abiding American the right to live anywhere in the United States and in any part of any city wherever he has, by con- tract or purchase, obtained the right to occupy a dwelling. This is Americanism, and this is the fundamental Principle of the Constitu- tion of the “Home of the Braye and the Land of the Free.” SOMETHING ABOUT THE KU KLypx KLAN AND “BIRTH OF A NATION” 4 a The Birth of a Nation really means the new nation that was born. under the immortal Emancipation Proclamation of Abraham Lincoln, in the beginning of 1865, ‘As written and staged rte Dixon, it means the nation born of the loins of the political, secret oath-bound bands of assassins known throughout the Southern States as the Ku Klux Klan. The Klam began in 1865, at Pulaski. Tenn., and expanded itself into a great federation of regulators having 50,000 members in the state of Tennessee and 550,00 throughout the states then lately in the Rebellion.’ The entire South was named by them the “Invisible Empire,” placed under the domination of Gen M. B. Forrest, who was called the “Grand Wiz- ard.” This was the same Forrest who, as general of the Confeder- ates at Fort Pillow, massacred the Negro soldiers after their sur. render at that battle. Each state was under a Dragon, each county under a Titan; and similar divisions under Grand’ Giants, Grand Cyclops, etc. These weird tiffes, taken from demonology, indicated the ghoulish and diabolica? character of these oath-bound ‘organiza tions of assassins. These names were added: Genii, Hydras, Fu ries, Goblins, Nighthawks, Magi, Monks and Turks.

Numbers of the Ku Klux were sent to the penitentiary, and then these assassins were dis- banded just a short time after the reconstruction laws went into ef- fect, Yet these assassins are the men that American audiences are glorifying in the drama, “Birth of 2 Nation.” Washington Funeral (Goniinued fiom page: £5) dear,to his heart. Thousands of tele- grams were received but only a few were read, His death occasioned universal sorrow and regret an though his views and ideas of educa- tion have been vigorously assailed and aggressively opposed, yet in Jater years those who differed with him had recognized his splendid worth and achievements. - Throughout ,,the country Negro business houies anc ‘enterprises suspended business five minutes to honor his memory at the hour of his funeral. In St. Louis there was a cessation of business promptly at ten o'clock, the hour set for the funeral and for five minutes the routine of care and responsibility was dropped in order to pay homage to the most illustrious race leader, educator and author this century has produced. Everyone is familiar with the life story of Booker T. Wash- ington, who was born in slavery,_in West Virginia. When quite a young lad, destitute even of a:name, but fired by ambition, he made his way from his home to Hampton Institute. His test for matriculation was sweeping and dustir.g which he performed satis- factorily, and when further required to furnish a name he complied by taking the name of the “Father’ of his country,” which name he has made more renowned as a synonym for American manhood. He received, at Hampton, the training which equipped him for bis marvelous career, and was recom; mended by General Armstrong to establish a school in Alabama. He was imbued with a genuine and sin- ere desire to lift up his race and fit them to be useful citizens, efficient and capable, industrially and com- mercially. He had a vision of the emancipated. slave as a land owner competent to produce from the soil its greatest harvest, by scientific and intelligent farming. He wanted to see the Negro in the southland freed from the yoke of dependence, and be- lieving their greatest hope was stored in the soil he established his school’ in 1881, where he might develop his theories and ideas. ‘The intense earn estness and zeal, which characterized: his efforts, won recognition and sym+ pathy,from the other race and his ‘sSuypfing ayenbapeu asurege s9j88nis and equipments were relieved by gen= erous donations and liberal funds to ‘increase hia sphere of usefulness, un- til today Tuskegee Institute, with its vast acres and magnificent buildings, is worth a hali million dollars. Dr, Washington first won national fame and recognition at the Atlanta Ex- position where his speech, “Cast down your bucket where you. are,” awakened a deep and abiding jnter= est in his undertakings. The ‘most eloquent tribute to his memory will come from the hearts of thousands of Negro youths whom he has inspired! to noble manhood and womanhood, will come from the thousands of men and women, illiterate, But’ hard work- ing, he called in council to discuss ‘ways and means to improye their con- dition and to become independent farmers, property owners and re- spected citizens. Lasting tribute will come from the hundreds of business men he inspired through the Busi- ness Leagues, ‘national and local, to come together in unity and co-opera- tion,and thus to cement their inter~ ests’ and develop their resources. Many a man has been led to engage inabusiness by the interesting and thrilling stories of failure and suce sess redited in the ‘annual conclaves of these leagues. Dr. Washington rei ceived an honory degree of M. Av from Harvard, was president of the’ National Negro Business League; was received by royalty, consulted by statesmen-and numbered men of let= ters and the world’s greatest finane ciers as his friends, yet he was alt ways quiet and unostentatious in his demeanor. He had reached the heights by great men Kept.

Choir Processional at 10:50 Last Sunday was another great day at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church. One can not go to Metropolitan Church without being moved in a spiritual way. Dr. Shaw is one of the most hard worked men in the ministry of St. Louis, but walks into his pulpit Sunday mornings and evenings brim full of solid gospel, pours it out as a man of authority. He is ably assisted in the services by perhaps one of the best choirs that St. Louis has ever witnessed. Their songs are high class, inspiring and uplifting, one of the most beautiful features of their last Sunday's music was a beautiful song, "Rock of Ages." in chimes One of the great advantages of this choir is that they have a chorister in the person of Prof. Robert Austin who never grows weary in the practices each week. The chime interlude for Sunday will be at 11:30 sharp. The pastor is working hard to close the services at 12:45 each Sabbath. A big Thanksgiving dinner will be given at Metropolitan Church next Thursday, at eleven o'clock. GATES AND MANUEL Undertakers. 4107 Piney Ava. Phones. Del. 822. Lindell 5690.
