THE VICTIM OF THE LIMA AS SAULT PICKS AS ASSAILANT A MAN THREE MONTHS IN Lima, O.—Hope that Mrs. Vivian Baber, said to have been attacked last week by Charles Daniels, whom a mob later attempted to lynch, could identify the man positively as her assailant, was dispelled, last Tuesday night. Immediately after the arrest of Daniels Mrs. Baber declared he was the man who had attacked her. Sheriff Eley sent three Negro prisoners from the county jail, chained together, to the city hospital to see if Mrs. Baber could tell the difference between faces. The woman immediately picked out one of the men as the one who attacked her. The man she accused had been in jail here three months. Sheriff Eley declared he did not know where Daniels is being held and has no desire to know until after the grand jury adjourns. He believes, he said, that the man is in the Lucas county jail at Toledo. Mountain Grove, Mo., September 6.—M. E. Smith, a justice of the peace, living a few miles north of here, pleaded guilty in the Criminal Court of Wright County today to statutory charges, preferred against him by three of his daughters, and continued to eighteen years in the penitentiary. Smith's arrest followed the recent marriage of his oldest daughter to a young farmer, who caused the warrant to be issued. All mentioned are "white." CIVILIZATION VS. THE MOB Sixteen members of the mob which stormed the jail at Lima, Ohio, last week in an attempt to lynch a Colored man charged with crime have been indicted. Thirteen of the sixteen have been arrested and are in jail. It is believed that 100 indictments will be returned. That is the difference between Ohio, where the law is respected, and Georgia, where the mob rules supreme. Ohio acts within a week; Georgia never acts. Accurate Laundry The Accurate Laundry & Cleaning Company has installed a new process by which it washes feather pillows without removing the feathers and leaves them clean, soft and pliable with all of the fluff which new feathers possess. By the same process quilts, comforts, blankets, mattresses, carpets and rugs are cleaned without leaving them in lumps. Two hundred and eighty-six degrees revolving 2,800 times a minute, are forced through the articles while they are being cleaned and completely kill all disease germs, leaving them absolutely sanitary. The management claims that a little child may play on a carpet cleaned by this process without any danger whatever, no matter what it had been exposed to before. The process has been thoroughly tried out and has given complete satisfaction. It is said that it will save householders thousands of dollars by enabling them to renovate their bedding and rugs at a reasonable cost. See their add in another column.

This school is for the development of those desiring to become musicians. The different branches taught are: Piano, voice, harmony, theory, band and orchestra, also choral directing. Mr. Austin, recently of Indiana, is widely known in musical lines. Since in the city of St. Louis, about two years, he has appeared in some of the largest churches and halls in the city, with band, orchestra and choral societies. A special course of instruction will be given each scholar in theory, regardless of what instrument they study. Come at once and get your schedule arranged. Special arrangements will be made for children who are in school, also for adults who are busy during the day, lessons can be arranged for at night. Remember you have a voice and you ought to develop that which has been given as a gift to you. A female orchestral band will be organized at once. All ladies playing wind, brass or string instruments are requested to meet Mr. Austin as soon as possible at his studio. All scholars' time can be arranged by phone or in person. The piano teaching in this conservatory is under the direction of Miss Marie Harris, who is widely known in this city being born here, and having received her musical education here principally. For several years she conducted a piano studio here with great success. She has served as a successful pianist in the large churches, the high school, and many large concerts in this city, both as a soloist and accompanist. She has sojourned for the past few years in New York City, Philadelphia, Pa., and New Jersey, where she received recognition as a successful accompanist and teacher of piano music. Studio 613 N.

Hoping that 399 others will follow to make up the $400 asked for, Respectfully, Ernest L. Harris, Ph. G." That's the way the public spirited citizens are responding.

The schools to be opened will be the Sumner High School, Cottage and Pendleton Aves., Delany School, 6138 Virginia Ave. and the Banneker School, Ewing and Lucas Aves. The Sumner will accommodate pupils who wish to take high school studies as well as those who desire studies in grade school subjects. Written application will be required of all students who expect to attend Sumner High School. The application must state the subjects which the student wishes to take, as well as give other information necessary for his proper classifications at school. Application will be limited to the opening week of school and applicants will not be accepted after that time until the beginning of the second term in January, provided there is room at that time. Students in the grade department at Sumner and at other schools are not required to make application. Application blanks and information circulars may be obtained at any of the public libraries, at any of the public high schools or at the central offices of the Board of Education, 911 Locust Street. The length of the evening school term has not been definitely determined. The Board of Education has decided that the term this year should be indefinite. Whether it shall be continued for seventy-five nights or terminated at an earlier period will probably be decided by the result of the bond issue which is to be submitted to the voters on November 11. High schools will be open from 7:30 to 9:30; grade schools from 7 to 9 o'clock on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings. All persons over rourteen years of age have the privilege of making use of night school opportunities without payment of tuition.

New Jersey Man Wins the $50.00 Negro Year Book Prize In connection with the appearance of the 1916-1917 edition of the Negro Year Book, it is announced that the $50.00 prize offered in 1914 for the best suggestions relative to the improvement of this publication has been awarded to Mr. Arthur L. Hayes, of Lyndhurst, New Jersey. Mr. Hayes is a graduate of Hampton Institute and is employed in the New York City postal service. His suggestions related to the most advantageous size for the book, the kind of type to be used, the arrangement of the subject matter, the form and scope of the index, the securing of advertisements and the advertising of the book. His suggestions with reference to the arrangements of the subject matter were: "At the beginning a calendar of the year, putting every date in black faced heavy type that has any meaning to the race and a foot note for explanation. Then would come the permanent facts about the race, dates and the events compared, charts with comparison, politics, art, business, farm homes, city homes, men and their work, monuments to men and the race for what and by whom and where, property wealth compared with that or various small countries and some states in area population, business done and wealth. Devote a few pages to Who's Who in America and other countries of Negro blood, I would not confine this section to all of the wealthiest but also to those who have been felt by their respective sections of the world for good." The award to the reader first pointing out error in statement of facts in the 1914-1915 edition went to Mr. Lee L. Brown, Editor, Louisville (Ky.) News, who immediately after the appearance of this edition, called attention to the fact that Mr. Stephen Bell, National Grand Secretary of the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten, resided in Louisville, Kentucky, and not in Jefferson, Texas, as reported in the Year Book. Congratulations are extended to both Mr. Hayes and Mr. Brown. Year Book 1916-1917 A copy has reached our office, full of information relative to the Negro in the United States. It goes farther and tells about the Negroes in all parts of the world. If you do not know about the Negro in your state you will do well to read this book. "I WILL CLUB" TO HELP Y. M. C. A FUND. To speed up the collections of the Building Fund for the new Branch Building, the men of the Y. M. C. A. have organized a club called the "I Will Club," with Mr. A. E. Malone as chairman of the club. As its name suggests, the club has the determination to put arross a new piece of collection between now and the first of October. The fact is that the club has set as its goal $1,500 by that date. The need for such a club is apparent, when it is known that at least $25,000 of the amount needed for the new building must be on hand by December, or else the Young Men's Christian Association will forfeit Mr. Rosenwald's offer of $25,000. Among the men who have been steadily working on the matter of collections has been Mr. F. P. Blair, of team 17. Since June, Mr. Blair has averaged $5.00 per week from his subscribers and, some weeks has gone considerably beyond that amount. The "I Will Club" believes that if a number of men can be secured, it will guarantee from $5.00 to $10.00 a week and thus speed up the collections. the fall work of the Y. M. C. A. is soon to begin. On the first Sunday in October, the Men's Meetings will begin at Pythian Hall, and then a series of meetings will be run until Christmas. There has been a strong demand on the part of the men that those meetings should continue as they have been in the two years past. Late in October a class in salesmanship is to be inaugurated at the Y. M. C. A. This class will be put on in co-operation with the Central Y. M. C. A. and the prospects are that it will be helpful to a large number of men who will take part. While these activities will be going on, a number of the "Y" are working and pressing ahead for the new building, which they say is sure to come. COL. L. C. DYER TO PREACH HIS FIRST SERMON Congressman L. C. Dyer will deliver his first sermon at Lane Tabernacle Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. The subject, "Our Duty to Our Country."

ARRESTS CAUSE NEAR RIOT An arrest of four men and one woman, one being a white man, at Finney Avenue and Sarah Street; Wednesday evening caused a near riot by a large gathering of the neighborhood because of the alleged roughness of the police. The men were arrested for drinking beer on a motor truck and the mother of one was arrested and thrown into the patrol wagon for advising her son to be quiet. The crowd became so demonstrative that the police became alarmed and drew their guns, one of them firing into the air. The defendants, Tom Lee, Irving Patton, George Baker, Wm. Green and Mrs. Mollie Patton were immediately released on bond and were discharged in Judge Saunders's court Thursday morning. Policemen Burns and Hughes appeared against them.

According to statement given out by Dr. B. G. Shaw, the manager, the affair was a success. Of course, he did not give away the automobile as was promised, saying that enough tickets had not been sold to justify giving it away at that time. He stated, however, that as soon as four hundred dollars worth were sold he would call a meeting at the Coliseum and raffle off the automobile. There was much dissatisfaction on the part of many holding chances. Most of them saying that there was no condition when they purchased their tickets and that they will insist on the raffle being held at once.

Deserving in heaven's name of what? We have a splendid system of government, on paper, but we want that system vitalized. The pork barrel bill brings a blush of shame to the cheeks of every American. I am here because I have a vision of what America needs. An idle American will always feel uncomfortable. America will not hold her own by high-sounding phrases. Are we not a nation great enough to have sufficient fore-sight to protect our borders in a sensible fashion by means of sensible preparedness? If we state our rights in a firm and determined manner it should carry conviction. There should be no vacillation in connection with that assertion. It is not what Wilson has kept us out of but what he's got us into that counts at present. VILLA AIDED BY WILSON'S FAVOR AND BACKING. In March last, Villa made a raid into American territory. He was a bandit leader whose career of successful infamy had been greatly aided by Mr. Wilson's favor and backing. He was at the head of Mexican soldiers, whose arms and munitions had been supplied to them in consequence of Mr. Wilson's reversing Mr. Taft's policy and lifting the embargo against arms and munitions into Mexico. They attacked Columbus, New Mexico, and killed a number of civilians and a number of United States troops. On the next day the president issued an announcement that adequate forces would be sent in pursuit of Villa "with the single object of capturing him." On April 8th, the announcement was made from the White House that the troops would remain in Mexico until Villa was captured. It was furthermore announced in the press despatches from Washington that he was to be taken "dead or alive." Fine words! Only—they meant nothing. He is not dead. He has not been taken alive.—From speech of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, delivered at Lewiston, Maine, in behalf of Charles E. Hughes. Mr. Wilson during the past few days has become such a life-long opponent of the pork barrel that he is almost sorry now he didn't veto some of those bills. Secretary McAdoo warns Treasury employees against too much political activity, and if they don't disobey the order they are likely to be bounced. A HEARTLESS ADMINISTRATION This Administration has displayed no more feeling of responsibility for the American women who have been raped, and for the American men, women and children who have been killed in Mexico, than a farmer shows for the rata killed by his dogs when the hay is taken from a barn. And now the American people are asked to sanction this policy in the name of peace, righteousness and humanity!—From the speech of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, delivered at Lewiston, Maine, in behalf of Charles E. Hughes. FINNEGAN'S PHILOSOPHY BALAAM. "Well do I mind the story," said Finnegan. "Balaam was a highbrow that knew less than his Jackass. He took an office to curse the people. The Jackass saved them. 'Tis all in Number Twinty-two. Och, home!' 'Tis different these times. The Jackass knew better till Balaam tamed him. "Lave me ride ye,' says Balaam, 'an' I'll make ye the biggest Ass in the wurld.' "Great,' says the Ass; 'what dye feed? "Pork,' says Balaam. "Me savlor,' says the Ass. "So Balaam mounts. But soon the Jack balks. "Phwat is it? says Balaam. "Snakes,' says the Ass; 'Ut looks like the jawbone ue me mother.' "G'wan,' says Balaam, hittin' the Ass a clip, 'tis me furren' policy, he says. "Phwat's ut for?' axes the Ass. "How? says the Ass. "Faith,' says Balaam, 'ut takes a bigger Ass than you to know that. Love it to Brine,' says Balaam to the Ass; an' the Jack walks on meditatin'. "Hee, haw,' says the Ass, balkin' an' kickin'. "What now? says Balaam. "Divil a Jackass ever seen the like,' says the Ass. 'Ut could be a frog, says he, 'for ut stands up in front, and sits down behind; an' 'tis mos'ly mouth,' says the Ass. 'Ut has white feathers,' says the Jack, 'wid yaller streaks, that changes,' he says, 'to Very Crooz Red, or Niagary Blue, an' now they're Carrysall Yaller again, says he. 'Hlvins, have I been drinkin'? screams the Ass to Balaam. " 'Saints be praised,' says Balaam. 'Me Watchful Waltin' can still change its mind,' he says. 'G'wan, where glory waits,' he says. 'G'wan, in the service uv Mankind,' says Balaam to the Ass, 'touching him up. An' the Ass shuffles ahead, wavin' his ears in admiration. " 'Hee-haw! Hee-haw!' says the Jack, rearin' up wid his eyes bulgin'. " 'Phwat's grippin' ye now' says Balaam, impashunt like. " 'I dunno,' says the Ass. 'Ut looks like the Flyin' Dutchman with a Socialist Crew,' he says. " 'Tts me Ship Bill,' says Balaam. 'Side step to the right,' he says; 'side step to the left,' says he, weltin' him. 'Back up,' says Balaam, near wrenchin' off the Jack's jaw. 'Now forward for the Merchant Marine an' fifty milyun pork,' says Balaam wid a shower uv blows; an' the Ass goes on thremlin' "Wah-hee! Wah-hee! Wah-hee!" says the Jack, shin' so he near threw his rider. "Til learn ye to shy at me naval Bill,' says Balaam, lar-rupin' the baste so he cud scarce stand. "Ye can't pass ut widout wearin' Republican clothes,' says the Jack in a coarse whisper. "Ye Ass,' says Balaam. 'Don't ye know that annoy cloos is better nor nakedness? Gwann,' says Balaam, in tones uv thunder. So the poor baste lopes on, limpin' wid pain. "I've not time to tell ye all the ado ventures they had, but they kep' on over rough roads, now an' then crossin' a ditch on a wan term plank, which made even Balaam unalsy. Ivry time the Jack kicked, he got short rations an' a wallop. So when the journey was near over, the poor baste was all in, and far too proud to fight. Any Jack-Ass can be that when he's licked. "Wan stormy night, the Jack blooms into a harmony like a Dimcycrat Tariff Hymn played on a gaspipe wid the feet. "Phwat ails ye now? calls Balaam, clubbin' him wid both hands. "Nivver did I pass the like; yells the Ass, sweating and threemblin'. 'Ut says ut's an eight hour law. Oh, phwat is ut? screams the Ass to Balaam, feebly waggin' his ears. "I dino phwat ut is meself,' says Balaam, 'but I know phwat ut's got.' Balaam says. "Phwat?' axes the poor' Ass. "Five hunder thousand votes,' says Balaam, wid a pious air. 'G'wan, ye big Ass, an' doont ye argue wid an Idaylist,' says Balaam to the Ass. "We can't pass ut in the dark,' pleands the Ass. 'Lave us wait for light,' moans the Ass, weepin'. "Nix,' says Balaam. 'There's a hot time comin' an' the votes' splie. Do ye thurst for sixteen more years in the wilderness? Giddap,' says he, 'purgin' yer heart,' says Balaam, 'iv virty thought that's selfish,' says Balaam, 'or personal,' chants Balaam to the poor Ass ticklin' the Jack's slats wid a coup' pin. "By' this time the Ass was so wore out wid wid ardyous labors, that, he knew no more than Balam himself. So, wid one despairin' cry, he dropped his ears, as he an' his master stumbled forward into the dark." It All Depends "If Hughes wins an Oregon town will get a new shingle mill employing fifty men," says the Olympia Recorder, "according to an announcement of the individual who took an option on timbered land. If Wilson wins the option will be allowed to tapse. That's the way with a thousand and one enterprises, all waiting to see which way the wind blows. The moment it is assured that Charles E. Hughes is elected, just watch the wheels of its industry spin and listen to the hum of business." Consultation free, reasonable rates; for prices write O. G. Grant, 312 Slo Clark St., Chicago, Ill.

Adam Manuel, a Negro citizen of and left five children living, one son, is believed now to be the richest. When the allotments were many worthless for farming purposes, land was valueless but he was unalit. It turned out that Luther's allotting oil field, and now this Negro come of $50,000 a month or $600,000 allotment. Sarah Rector, a Negro fortunate of the Negro Indian city country, but her fortune is far less when the Cushing oil field first income was $1,000 a day. Now, at this Luther Manuel is the Croesus impenetrable shade upon the old abilities for wealth that makes true The mammoth fortunes of this numerous yieldings of the forest, the ment and unpaid labor. Now a smile upon some black face and face should also erect temples to her days of Roman glory. MISS WHEATLY RETURNS TO SCHOOL Every year the Negro continues to go more and more into business; live or die; survive or perish, he "picks his flints and goes at it again." There is nothing beats a trial. When you don't try failure is a certainty, when you do try success is probable. We are proud to see that a new grocery owned and managed by Colored men has been substantially established on the northeast corner of Goode and North Market streets. It is a credit to the heart and brain of the men who started it, and, besides bringing wealth, it will bring honor to the men who make it a success as well as prosperity to the people who patronize it. It is a good thing, better than a pool room, dance hall, gambling den, pienie or big show, paraphanalia and parades. These are all prodigal and frivolous. The race needs to stop spending and buying so much, but save and sell more. Get something to sell besides your labor. Go out into the market as sellers. Make and sell more; waste and buy less. They are many businesses that the Negro should go into, like dry goods, pottery, tinware, shoes, bakery, meat shops, hat stores, and hundreds of others. There are plenty of opportunities. Seize them! Again, we must make as well as sell. Make all kinds of garments for women's wear and all kinds of garments for men's use. Trade in and out among each other and trade in and out among white people. Don't be exclusive on the race question, invite all to trade with you by competing in the market in quantity, quality, and price of the goods you handle. There is a rift in the clouds and we can see the clear sky beyond which is brilliant with magnificent signs of promise. One of those signs is this splendid grocery business started on the corner of Goode and North Market. It is indeed worthy of our patronage. Under President Wilson it cost the United States more not to fight Mexico than it cost under McKinley to fight Spain. Was Wilson too proud to fight or to rich to fight? He could afford to pay the cost of a war without fighting it. Wilson's note-writing diplomaey made the nation laugh. Lamm and Dickey are carrying everything before them in the lead belt. Hurrah! It is threatened that bread will go to 20e a normal loaf in the next few months unless the federal government places an embargo on the exportation of wheat. For the sake of the people put on the embargo. Night schools for Negroes open Oct. 9 at Sumner High, Benneker and Delaney. It is a glorious opportunity. Adults seeking an education need go. INCOME OF A NEGRO BOY $600,000 A YEAR Now and then, at short intervals, news reaches us from Oklahoma of some Negro boy or girl falling heir to a property whose income amounts to hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Adam Manuel, a Negro citizen of the Creek Nation, recently died and left five children living, one of them, Luther Manuel, a minor son, is believed now to be the richest Negro boy in the world. When the allotments were made, that assigned to Luther was worthless for farming purposes. The father complained that the land was valueless but he was unable to have any change made. The mammoth fortunes of this nation have been built on the spontaneous yieldings of the forest, the mines, the soil, unearned increment and unpaid labor. Now and then, should Goddess Fortune smile upon some black face and fill our baskets with her bounty we should also erect temples to her honor, as was done in the good old days of Roman glory.

"I am sympathetic with every demand to improve the conditions of labor, to secure reasonable compensation for labor. I am in sympathy with every effort to better human conditions, and particularly the condition of those who toll in industrial pursuits, in railroad pursuits, in all these great activities that are essential to our prosperity. But when you have a proposition to change the scale of wage you have a vital proposition which requires examination. You must at least know whether the demand is a just one. "Labor, of course, should not desire anything but what is Just. I do not believe labor intends to ask for anything but what is Just. What is just can be examined and will survive investigation. Nothing is lost by having the process of reason applied if only that which is just is required."—Mr. Hughes in His Speech at Portland, Malne. SURRENDER TO FORCE WOULD TEND TO DISASTER. "That kind of virus in our life—surrender to force—would bring us no end of disaster. If we let capitalists or workingmen, any interest, learn that the way to get what is wanted is by applying pressure and if we continue in that course for a few years, democracy will be a failure, and we might as well give up our form of government."—Mr. Hughes in His Speech at Portland, Maine. PUBLIC OFFICER SHOULD STAND LIKE A ROCK "Government under pressure is not American/Government. Whenever pressure is applied to any public officer he ought to stand like a rock and say: 'Here I stand until we substitute reason for force. It is not an American doctrine to legislate first and investigate afterward.'" —Mr. Hughes in His Speech at Portlard, Maine. DEMAND WAS NOT FOR EIGHT-HOUR DAY. "It is said that the judgment of society has made the demand for the eight-hour day. This was not an eight-hour day, and the judgment of society had nothing to do with the proposition laid before Congress and passed by Congress. The proof of this is found in the bill itself, which proposes an investigation to find out whether Congress had any business to do the thing which it was asked to do, and which it did do."—Mr. Hughes In-His Speech at Portland, Maine. WE SHOULD CONSIDER WHAT IS RIGHT THEN DO IT "Our Government is based on the idea that we have Legislatures to investigate, to consider what is right and to do what is right. It is based on the idea that public opinion is formed from discussion of questions, and that we can come possibly to right solutions. It is not based on the idea that the Government must act without knowing the justice and merits of the cause in which it acts."—Mr. Hughes in His Speech at Portland, Maine. THERE SHOULD BE NO ACTION UNDER PRESSURE, UNDER DICTATION. "We have one priceless treasure in this country, and that is the reign of good judgment after public discussion. In the long history of the people, victory after victory has been won over tyranny and force. We have a free press, we have a free form of public discussion, to the end that there may be a general, understanding of our activities and a general appreciation of what is necessary to the improvement of our conditions. We may disagree about this measure or that, but we have confidence in the public judgment in the long run. Hence there is one thing which we must always maintain, and that is that there shall be no action on the part of our elected representatives, taken under pressure, under dictation. We must know what the facts are and what justice requires."

GOSNELL Superintendent of Men, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago TEXT—And the Lord turned, and look- ed upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him: Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.-Luke 2:61, CS. Peter never forgot his denial. Speaking to the Jews he says, "Ye denied the holy one and the just," and in his second epistle he refers to those who denied the Lord that bought them. At the point where he was supposed to be strongest, he failed. He is noted as the confessor of Christ, yet became his denier. He was the brave man who undertook to defend Christ in the gar- den, yet he cowered before the servants in the high priest's palace. He was not in danger of being killed if he had confessed Christ, but denied him to save himself from being taunted. And all this occurred on the same night in which he had received the broad and wine from the hands of his master, and had submitted to having his feet washed by him! We are only kept from chiding him because we are reminded of our own failures and our denials of Christ. M. Added to the sin of denial was that of profanity, for we are told that he begin to curse and to swear, saying he knew not the man. The sin of profanity clings to a man, and the tendency sometimes appears even after conversion. Many have failed at this point, although delivered from other sins. An old writer has pointed out the folly of it in these words: "The evil tempts men through their ambition, their cupidity, or their appetite, until he comes to the profane swearer, whom he clutches without any reward." There is a melancholy comfort in the fact that Peter seemed to feel they would not suspect him of being a disciple if they should hear him use profanity language; the world expects things of Christians. Several elements enter into the story of Peter's denial. First of all, we notice his self-confidence. "If all shall be offended in thee, I will never be offended." His failure doubtless revealed to him his weakness, and was used of God in bringing him to a better mind. By such testings we earn our own helplessness and are driven to the strong one for strength. in his epistle, Peter emphasizes the value of meekness and godly fear. "No Business With the Flankles." Another secret of Peter's failure is found in the society he kept. He had followed his Lord afar off, and when he came into the palace, sat down with the high priest's servants. As an old Scotch woman said, "he had no business with the flankles." It is difficult to maintain a Christian profession even when we must be among the ungodly, but there is great danger when we choose them for our companions. Again, the element of surprise has been brave in the garden in open contact with Christ's enemies, but he did not expect to be assaulted as he sat in the fire that night. Earnest Christins learn to dread temptations which approach with the stealth of a serent. The writer recalls the occasion when he first save a "sensitive plant." And remembers his surprise when its eyes withered at the approach of a hand. If we are to escape better in Peter did, our souls must be so under that the very approach of temption will cause them to shrink in cold and hide themselves in Christ. Let this man was restored even as such a failure. There were four ups in his restoration. Steps Back to Christ. First, there was the look of Christ. er the crowing of the cock, we are l the Lord turned and looked upon er. What a look of wounded love t must have been! Yet we should for t that the same sad, perc- gaze is turned upon us when we we Christ. secondly, the Lord sent a special sage to Peter on the morning of resurrection (Mark 16:7). thirdly, he had a private interview t this apostle on the day he arose te 24:34; I Cor. 15:5). nally, when he appeared to the man on the shore of the Sea of Gali- he reinstated Peter most fully. story is told in John 21, and is why of careful perusal. Three is the Lord asked him if he loved and the apostle had thrice dented, he was allowed to confess him three Foe Peter might have thought could never again be intrusted responsibility, but three times lord bade him feed his flock. As max, this man who had said he I follow Christ to death, but had so shamefully, was told he l. after all, have the privilege of for his Lord. What comfort for the backslider! With what meaning may we sing, "He reh mysoul." INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) (Copyright 2016, Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 24 READING LESSON-II Cor. 4:14:14 GOLDEN TEXT-We look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal-II Cor. 4:18. A map is essential to an understanding of Paul's labors and adventures—especially a present-day map, with its modern names of the places which he visited. It should be used in teaching this lesson, and New Testament history generally. It will cause the lessons to relate themselves more closely to the world as we now know it. During the past quarter they have extended over a period of about seven years, from approximately A. D. 50 to 57, and are all centered about the life and teaching of Paul. It is difficult to attempt a logical review. A number of lessons have been introduced from the letters of Paul, which are not chronological in the development of the church. It might be well, perhaps, to consider first the leading events in the life of Paul, and second the prominent characteristics of Paul's life as we have had them presented to us, and also to consider six of the cities in which Paul founded churches in Europe, studying their modern names and conditions and looking into the difficulties and dangers which he encountered. In Lesson One we have the record of Paul's untiring activity, and his persistent use of the Scriptures. Every one of his sermons was confirmed by the Word of God. Lesson Two presents his interest in those who were converted in his ministry; also a suggestion as to his unceasing prayerfulness on their behalf. Lesson Three presents his tact and wisdom in preaching the Risen Christ, and his emphasis upon the need of repentance. Lesson Four gives a suggestion of his untiring activity in the midst of great discouragement and in the fact of bitter apposition. Lesson Five reveals his persistent determination to know and to preach nothing save Jesus Christ and him crucified. Lesson Six is Paul's panegyric on love as the supreme gift. Lesson Seven is an exposition of the duty and blessness of cheerful giving. In it is given a new beatitude of Jesus, "It is more blessed to give than to receive" which is nowhere else recorded. Lesson Eight, another suggestion as to his courage. Lesson Nine emphasizes humility, compassionate love and a fearless declaration of the whole counsel of God. Lesson Ten presents his forgetfulness of himself and his eagerness to preach Christ even when threatened by an unrestrained mob. Lesson Twelve again presents his forgetfulness of himself, and his eager sealing of every possible opportunity to preach the Lord Jesus. Turning to the cities that Paul visited, we first encounter Philippi (now in ruins). This is the first city in Europe where there was a Christian church, and it was one which Paul especially loved. Though he was driven from it by a mob, and escaped by means of an angel, yet his letter to that church is a revelation of his feeling toward his first European congregation. Thessalonica, the modern Salonik in Macedonia, formerly belonged to the Turkish empire in Europe. Here Paul founded a church, consisting of Jews and Greeks. Paul is accused of turning the world upside down, and teaching Jesus to be the Chrstian's king. For this he was accused of treason against Rome. Two epistles were written to the church in which he does not record any fault-finding. This church has been called the "Church Beautiful." Athens was then, as now, the chief city of Greece, and one of the three most renowned cities in the history of the world Paul's famous address on Mars hl was treated with great indifference. His stay was short, and never afwards do we find him showing f his learning, but ever after he presses his determination to nothing save "Jesus Christ an crucified." (I. Cor. 2:1, 2.) Him was a great commercial city. Corinth ent the original site is in At present the new Corinth has been 1 but miles away, and is today a three proximately 15,000 popul city of apspent a year and a half Paul ing and teaching, and here, preach this with a period of t supplemented service.

W. Morris' fiftieth birthday Friday, September 15, 1916. The entire church, with a few exceptions, went to her home, loaded her with tokens of love in presents of all descriptions. The party was an entire success, and each donor felt more than repaid when her face lit up with surprise and gladness. After surprising her with gifts of love and esteem the committee on refreshments spread the table and led her into the dining room where the feast began, and every cup of joy was full to overflowing. Tis truly said that it is more blessed to give than to receive and the committee wishes to thank every member and friend who so liberally contributed to our dear sister's happiness on this occasion. Her life is one of unselfish and loving devotion. She blooms like a flower unseen, yet all enjoy her sweetness. We wish her every joy in life. L. B. Smith, Lucy Nelson, Lillie Hatehe.

PROVIDENCE BAPTIST NOTES Several important and noteworthy events are to take place at our church within the next few weeks. The first event will be a joint entertainment by Providence and Burning Bush, Thursday night, September 28, conducted by Miss Thomas.

Pastors of all churches and their congregations are cordially invited to be present on this occasion from 8 p. m. to 11 p. m. Rev. Cole will close his first year's pastorate at Providence the last of this month, during which time the church has been cleared of all debts and the membership doubled. This occasion will be marked by a week's exercises under the auspices of the various auxiliaries of the church beginning the first Lord's day in October at 11 a. m. and 8 p. m. as follows: Monday night, October 2.

Mission Circle. The public is cordially invited to be present each night. There will be no charges at the door. 'A very large and representative congregation listened to a forceful and practical sermon by Pastor Peck, whose theme was, "Agreeeing and Working Together." He gave a graphic description of how willingly, the Negro consumes what the Anglo-Saxon produces, instead of himself becoming a producer. He closed this remarkable discourse by making an earnest appeal for the race to work together and support its own business enterprises. The evening service was well attended. The pastor's theme: "The City Ideal." Remember "Young Men's Day." Mr. David Jones, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., a talented and brilliant young man, will speak at eleven o'clock, and that matchless orator and leader, Prof. Frank L. Williams, will speak at 8 p.m. We were glad to see so many visitors at our Sunday service. We bid you welcome. Come again.' WAYMAN CHAPEL CHURCH Quarterly meeting will be held at Wayman Chapel A. M.
