VOL. XXXIII, NO 38 DR.B.T. WASHINGTON DR. WASHINGTON AT MONTGOMERY. The Negro Educator Greeted by the Aristocracy of the South—Ovation to the Wizard—Negro Must Be Educated—White Man's Responsibility, Etc. (Special to The Bee.) MONTGOMERY, Ala., Feb. 17.—Before as remarkable an audience as the capital city of his state ever saw, Booker T. Washington, always the first voice of his commonwealth, delivered last Sunday at the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church an address, the importance of which cannot be overestimated; the power of which cannot here be described. It was holder than a hold speech, for it was not inspired by the occasion. It was suggested by the chance remarks of no casual speaker. It was the cool and calculating utterance of the great leader of a great cause gifted in speaking the speech of soberness. And all have learned from him that sober speech, and not reckless phrase, carries conviction that convicts. Again Booker Washington demonstrated his courage in speaking to Southern white men rather than speaking at Southern white men. White Aristocracy Present. The meeting, held in the winter course of lectures arranged by the progressive pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, the Rev. Dr. R. C. Judkins, was no ordinary gathering. Besides Governor O'Neal, Alabama's able and fearless ruler, there were present two Justices of the Supreme Court of Alabama, several of the State officers, officers of the city of Montgomery, and representatives of the leading business and professional elements among the white people of the city. All in all more than three hundred white people came out as a mark of appreciation of the first figure in the educational and moral progress of the State, and also in testimony of their respect for the Governor of Alabama, who, as he said, "came to learn of the matchless leader of an advancing people." Governor O'Neal Speaks. Gerassse D'Nexx himself delivered a spirited address in which he cailed on the white people of the State to deal not only kindly but justly with colored people everywhere. "We owe them," said the Governor, "we owe them a debt of gratitude that can never be wined out." Two thousand people had somehow got into the great church before the meeting began. 'When Principal Washington arose to speak the audience gave sufficient physical testimony to the wretched unreliability of the gospel that a prophet gets no honor in his own country. Deafening applause greeted the educator and orator, who came, as had been heralded, to make no unimportant speech. Ovation for Wizard. From the moment he began speaking, and through more than an hour's flow of moving eloquence, Dr. Washington made a special plea not only for general righteousness, but also and particularly for individual decency; individual decency on the part of the black man, and individual decency on the part of the white man. Peace, he preached peace, plenty and progress, but he preached peace with justice, and justice with love between man and man. His striking phrases brought forth cheer after cheer To his own people he said: "In order to rightly perform our duty in the matter of labor, we must seek to improve our methods of labor. We must become in an increasing degree reliable in matters of labor. If our word is given to white man or black man that we will be at a place at a certain hour, we must be certain that that word is kept. We must prove that we can be just as clean, just as progressive, put just as much brains and skill into our labor as the people of any other race." The white people heartily joined in this sweet bit of advice. Turning to the distinguished representatives of wealth and culture of white Alabama, Dr. Washington said with accentuated fervor: "There must be equality. When the Negro breaks the law he is punished by the same law, brought before the same judge, is defended before the same jury, defended by the same class of lawyers, receives the same kind of punishment that is true when the white man breaks the law. In regard to punishment of crime there is drawn no color line. The Negro, then, should be given the same opportunity in school to know what the law is, to learn lessons of self control that will enable him to know the law and keep the law as with other races." The great wave of applause that swept over the house in response to this utterance came from both races. A direct appeal for better schools for his people was couched in this: Negro Must Be Educated. "I believe that it would pay Montgomery to provide more money and better accommodation for the education of Negro children in this city. You have here 5,400 colored children of school age. I note that only 1,689 are enrolled in the public schools, and only 1,090 attend school a whole day. The others can only find accommodations for a half day. Under these circumstances it is impossible for you to escape having a large element of Negro criminals. It is impossible for the Negro to do that which no other human being is asked to do, and that is to know all the duties of citizenship without education." Braver words, no man. North or South, has ever uttered than Dr. Washington's parting plea, his people in the higher things of correct living. He said with telling emphasis: White Man's Responsibility. "There is no more danger in giving the Negro an opportunity to get education so that he may be a good citizen than there is in furnishing him opportunities to degrade himself so that he will become a worthless citizen. I note that in Montgomery and in other large cities of the South in practically all the bar rooms there are provided places where the Negro can get whiskey on equal terms with the white man. I venture to say that there is no colored man in Montgomery who wants to get a glass of whiskey who cannot find a bar room where he can buy that glass of whiskey. The opportunity is provided for him to get something to put into his body that will destroy the body, cloud the mind, weaken the senses, making of him a brute so that he can commit crime. "In this respect he has an equal opportunity with the white man. I believe it will pay better to provide the Negro with just as good opportunities to get some education so that he can know the law, keep his body clean and learn to exercise self control. In a word( it is far better and far cheaper to spend more money in educating the Negro than it is to have to spend so many thousands of dollars every year in punishing Negro crime. In all the history of civilization it has been proven that the mere putting of people in jail or in the penitentiary does not in the last analysis remove crime. We must go deeper and get at the causes that create crime. This requires years of patient and hard work on the part of white people and on the part of black people alike." At the conclusion of Dr. Washington's address, the great audience pressed forward to meet him and to shake his hand; the white people to thank him for so grand a sermon; his own people to bless him for so noble an advocacy of their cause before the seats of power. As one of the Supreme Court Justices put it: "To listen to his simple speech is to know the relentless power or truth." Dr. Washington was accompanied to the city from Tuskegee by Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute and several members of the faculty. While here they were the guests of Victor II. Tulane, a Trustee of Tuskegee. NAPOLEON B. MARSHALL. Editor of The Bee. I must commend you for your strong endorsement of Mr. Napoleon B. Marshall in your issue of last week. You do yourself great credit in joining the Boston Traveler and the Evening Herald of that city, where Mr Marshall is so well and favorably known, in lending your endorsement to so splendid a man—a man in every way so fully equipped for the Haitian Mission; a man as straight as an arrow and as clean in character and as honorable in life as they come—truly "a chip of the old block; a man who would do honor to the position and be a credit to his country and his race; a lawyer, a student of international law and a splendid linguist, so essential in a man who would be a true representative of this country among a people in public life, trained in the best schools in Paris, as well as being fitted in the best schools of diplomacy in Euronec. Men who go from here should measure up creditably. Mr. Marshall is a man of proud culture and of the highest character, hence needs no underpinning in this respect. He deserves well of his party, for which he gave such splendid service in the recent campaign, especially for his effective work in my own State, Missouri, in organizing Democratic Negro clubs in St. Louis, Kansas City St. Joe, Hannibal, Macon and other cities in the State. I was in constant touch with him and know the value of his services to the National Democratic party in that State. While the Negro voter in Missouri is, and has been always, the most independent voter in local politics of any of the States—and I speak advisedly—he never before voted in so large numbers the National Democratic ticket. This was, in a great measure, due to the splendid organizations of Mr. Marshall and those who acted with him in inducing so many Negro voters in casting their fortunes with the National Democratic party. It was my pleasure, a few days after the election, to commend him to a leading Democrat of Missouri for the above position. Mr. Marshall is no "seven-day advent" or convert to Democracy. He has been, since this majority, independent in politics, and during all that time has stood like a man for the race. Taking all and all, he is the best equipped and all-round Negro Democrat for the Haitian Mission. Again, he has not been on the payroll of the Democratic party, as were most of the loudest Democrats. Indeed, some of them, those who were the loudest in espousing the Democratic cause, I found from an investigation I personally made, have been on the payroll of all three of the great parties in that contest and did what I could to stop their pay. WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, MARCH 1, 1913 THE MUSEUM OF THE WESTERN WESTERN WESTERN These so-called Negro Democrats are known to the leaders and are "canned and labeled." This is an age of practical politics. There is to be no dispenser of Negro patronage by Negro "leaders" as under former administrations. The leaders of the Democratic party in the states will control the patronage allotted to their States, as it should be. The day of the Negro dispenser of patronage is gone forever and I, for one am glad of it. Northern centres, like this city, New York and Boston, you may expect a peril from the South to invade you that will make the problem more complexed and difficult to solve than ever before, and is not dying out. His head, heart and hand must be trained for usefulness, if not, he will become a menace." Dr. Shepard concluded with the statement that a young man or woman can be trained at his school at less cost than in any similar institution.

DOWN Jim Crow Car Editor Bee: Apropos in last week's issue of "jim crow cars" for the Columbia, in which it is only "jim crow" Negroes. INAUGURAL PREPARATIONS COMPLETE. Preparations for inaugural week among the colored people of Washington are complete. A week scintillating with diversions of the most inviting character is promised by the various committees. The public comfort committee, acting harmoniously with Chairman A. H. Underdown, has put in some hard work, and the results are bound to be gratifying to the throng of visitors coming from every section of the country. Indications are that the crowd this year will be the largest ever entertained by this city at any previous inauguration, notwithstanding the fact that a Democratic President is to be inducted into office. Dyspeptic critics who have been trying to throw cold water on the efforts of the hospitable citizens hereabouts have been put to rout, horse, foot and dragoon. The program, in brief, for the week, will be something like this: Friday, February 28, opening of the Athletic Carnival, Convention Hall. Saturday night, "The Mikado," Howard Theater. Sunday afternoon, Bishop Walters on "Victory," Y. M. C. A. Auditorium. Monday afternoon, grand pageant of the suffragetts. Monday night, ball of the Comus Club, Auditorium, 8th street Southeast. Tuesday, inauguration of Woodrow Wilson and grand inaugural parade. Wilson and grand inaugural parade. Tuesday-night, banquet and reception at Y. M. C. A., in honor of Bishop Alexander Walters. Tuesday night, balls at the Auditorium, Odd Fellows' Hall and other places. Wednesday night, grand ball of the Citizens' inaugural Welcome Club, Convention Hall. Thursday, conferences of Negro Democratic League and the National Civil and Political League. Friday night, smoker for visiting gentlemen by Mu-So-Lit Club, True Reformers' Hall. RELIGION TO SAVE NEGRO. Only Means of. Solving. Race Question, Says Preacher. Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 24.—"Religious education is the only thing that will solve the Negro race problem in this country," declared Dr. James E. Sheppard, president of the National Training School of Durham, N. C. in the course of an address at the Baptist Temple, Broad and Berks Streets, yesterday, morning. Rev. Russell H Conwell, the pastor, who introduced the speaker, stated that the service of the hour had been given to the consideration of some phases of the Negro race problem and he regarded that the institution which Dr. Sheppard represented was the greatest factor and influence in the development of any race or community. Dr. Shepard, after reviewing the work of the school, said: "It is a grave mistake to suppose that either the higher or industrial education of the Negro race will make desirable citizens of them unless they be given a religious education. This fact is being exemplified in the slow development and progress the Negro is making along the line of good citizenship. "We are directing the emotionalism of the negro race into practical working channels, making it a means of uplift instead of destruction. We regard the training of the 30,000 Negro ministers of whom perhaps only 10 per cent. of that number properly trained to lead the destiny of the 10,000,000 followers whom they largely control, of the most importance. "Unless you, our white friends of the North, help the Negro on the very threshold at your door in large President-elect Wilson placed a ban upon an inaugural ball, to he given in his honor by the white citizens of Washington. The white citizens have the money, social prestige and facilities for a ball. They will give no ball, however, out of deference to the wish, and simple democratic tastes of the President-elect, who goes in for simplicity and not for extravagance. The Negroes of this city, who do not even support institutions maintained for their own needy and unfortunate members, have sent outward that the Negroes will give an inaugural ball at the Convention Hall the night of March 5th. On the night of March 4th another "Colored Inaugural Ball" is advertised at the New Auditorium, and on the night of March 3rd still another "social function" is billed. The one on the evening of March 3rd posts up the charge of $3 for that evening's festivities; the one on March 4th asks $1 for admission, and the one announced for March 5th modestly stipulates the price of admission at $5. Then the same week we have scheduled a banquet at $1.50 per plate. Here is a grand total of $10.50 for admission alone to the house of superfluous pleasure in one week. Who will attend these affairs? Why, many feeble-minded Negroes who right now are paying ten per cent. per month for small loans to waste on frivolous, paralyzing amusement—many who right now owe the butcher, the baker and the undertaker. Out in South Washington is a Social Settlement founded for the poor of our race that is floundering in debt; unable to do the work of uplift and charity designed because of a lack of funds. And most, by far, of the money contributions represented in that Social Settlement Building and its maintenance has been contributed by white friends, while the Negroes, for whose benefit, help and amelioration it stands, spend their time and energy chasing the phantom of amusement. In T Street, out in Le Droit Park, is another most worthy institution, the Young Women's Christian Association Home, that is cramped for funds to provide the barest necessities. And while Mrs. Bettie Francis and her band of loyal, earnest workers in an upright cause of love and mercy—sweet charity—are laboring and appealing, those who ought to help are planning a disastrous maelstrom of pleasure into whose vortex will go funds that might be of great service to worthy institutions for uplift. And the Y. M. C. A., built for the most part by contributions of white men, is struggling along with inadequate funds for maintenance, while some of the very ones for whose benefit it was built are financing the "bunny hug," the "grizzly bear," and the taste for insipid pleasure. Yet with all these, and other real responsibilities resting upon us, we are imitating the extravagance of the ultra-rich among the whites. And while jim-crow legislation is pending in Congress, we, the ones to be restricted, are spending our time in "chasing the glowing hour with flying feet," and wasting our small earnings on fantastic pleasure—doing the "turkey trot," while a fearful storm is impending. The ministers and the serious-minded men and women of the race should pronounce, and pronounce strong, against this imbecilic pursuit of wanton pleasure. It is one of the greatest menaces to race advancement, race respect and race responsibility. Northern centres, like this city, New York and Boston, you may expect a peril from the South to invade you that will make the problem more complexed and difficult to solve than ever before, and is not dying out. His head, heart and hand must be trained for usefulness, if not, he will become a menace. Dr. Shepard concluded with the statement that a young man or woman can be trained at his school at less cost than in any similar institution. The urgent need of the school is $25,000 to meet a conditional gift by April, to pay off the entire debt of the school. SEPARATION OF SEXES ASKED Social Purity Club Makes a Move. At a special meeting of the Social Purity Club of Washington, D. C. held on Sunday, February 23, the following resolutions were adopted: Believing that the best interests of a community will be more effectuated by the action hereinafter recommended, and by the changed conditions resulting therefrom, it is hereby Resolved. That the Board of Education of the District of Columbia be urged to cause such transfers to be made in the graded schools and in the high schools as will place, as far as possible, male and female pupils in separate buildings; said transfers to go into effect beginning with September, 1913. Resolved. That it be urged that, as far as possible, male teachers be assigned to male pupils. Resolved. That the members of the Social Purity Club circulate a petition to the above-mentioned effect among taxpayers and patrons of the schools. Resolved. That to better ascertain the opinion of the public upon the proposed changes, a copy of these resolutions be sent to the local news- papers and that they be requested to open their columns for a discussion of the matter. Secretarv Jim Crow Cars. Editor Bee: Apropos your editorial in last week's issue relative to "jim crow cars" for the District of Columbia, in which it is stated that only "jim crow" Negroes would ride in "jim crow cars" were they installed. I am constrained to propound to your many readers the question, whether he who meekly and without protest acquiesces in such discriminatory measures is not justly deserving of the discrimination to which he is subjected? There are those among us (and supposedly educated persons) who not only bow without protest to race discrimination, but who essay to defend such bowing. With pain and impatience the writer has been called upon to listen: to such defense at the hands of so-called leaders of thought. It is but necessary to stand in the vicinity of the entrance to the peanut gallery of our leading playhouses, on any Friday evening between 7 and 8 o'clock, to see scores of this class of citizens filing in. There you may witness the discouraging spectacle of men and women of the intellectual caliber of the public-school teacher cheerfully buying the privilege of being piloted to an elevated eminence high up under the caves of the theater's roof. It is contended that the benefits more than off-set the humiliation. To this I do not subscribe and am disposed to ask if this is not the type of man and woman who justly deserves to be known as the "jim crow Negro"? Yours truly. A. S. PINKETT. Important News Happening of the Week DEVOTED TO GENERAL INTEREST Alexander Daylight, noted Colville Indian chieftain, died last week at the home of a grand nephew near Kettle Falls, Wash., at the age of 123. Ninety-five federal volunteer soldiers were executed in Mexico last week. They composed part of the garri-on which revolted against the killing of former President Madero. Resolutions requesting the District school board to segregate the male and female pupils in the public schools here and so far as possible have teachers of the same sex as the scholars were adopted by the Social Purity League. In Havana, Cuba, and the provinces a holiday was kept last Monday, the 24th, in celebration of the eighteenth anniversary of the declaration of independence and the commencement of the revolution, which, with the intervention of the United States, culminated in the freedom of Cuba from Spanish rule. Eulogies were delivered in the House last week upon the lives and public service of four representatives and three senators, who died within the last few months. Maron Cantri, a 17-year-old colored boy, was lynched last Sunday in Manning, S. C., for assault on a white man. A mob of masked men lynch the prisoner.

The colored people of Charleston, S. C., have started out to raise $50,000 toward equipping a sanitarium for tuberculous patients. The first expression from the future first lady of the land regarding her social plans was published last Sunday, and the declaration made that she had never had $1,000 a year to spend upon her dress caused much interest. The Mexican butchery continues to increase and disloyalty to the government is the diadem of the republic. President-elect Wilson and distinguished family will leave for the National Capital March 3. Dr. Davidson, of the public schools, was in Philadelphia, Pa., last week. He is a progressive educator. A new member of the Board of Education has practically been decided on. He is no politician.

Washington, hopes that the pastors of Washington churches will give his singers a hearing and that whatever is taken up or given to help the work along will be honestly applied and faithfully accounted for. Genesis 19:12-17, 23-29—March 9. "Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch no, un- clean thing."—2 Corinthians 6:17. HEN Abraham was ninety- nine years old—in 2021 B. C.—his encampment was at Hebron. There the Lord HEN Abraham was ninety-nine years old—in 2021 B. C.-his encampment was at Hebron. There the Lord and two angels appeared to him as men. He knew them not, but entertained them. (Hebrews 13:2.) The one called the Lord was doubtless the Logos, subsequently man's Redeemer. The Lord on this occasion told Abraham that Ishmael would not be the heir of the Promise, but that shortly Sarah would have a son. The next year Isaac was born. As Abraham walked a little distance with his visitors, he learned they really were, and that the destruction of Sodom was imminent. Nobly and generously he petitioned God's Mercy on the Sodomites. The Lord gave assurance that if there were even ten righteous in Sodom, it would be spared. CORONA domites and the "Sarah shall have a antediluvian God son," made illustrations of the great lesson, "All the wicked will He destroy." We are to remember that these are not illustrations of eternal torment, but of destruction. These merely passed into destruction a few years sooner than ordinarily; for the death "sentence passed upon humanity in Adam. But since "Jesus Christ by the grace of God tasted death for every man," all of Adam's children will eventually come from the tomb. "And Delivered Righteous Lot." St. Peter informs us that Lot was not in sympathy with his surroundings. (2 Peter 2:7, 8.) The flight of Lot, with his wife and two unmarried daughters, is simply told in our lesson. The intimation of verse 29 is that God's Mercy toward Lot was because of his relationship to Abraham. This view is consistent with all Scriptural statements on the subject. Adam's entire race was condemned to death in him. Hence Divine Justice owed them nothing. Divine Mercy had entered into a special Covenant with Abraham, but that Covenant extended to none others, except Abraham's seed. Therefore Lot's relationship to Abraham was the only reason why God should favor him. "There's a Wideness In God's Mercy." "No man cometh unto the Father but by Me." St. Peter substantiates this statement. See Acts 4:12. The Scriptures clearly teach that none were saved until Jesus died. This is the key which unlocks the wonders of God's grace even though to some the statement may seem astounding. We should rid ourselves of the thought that the holy men of the past went to Heaven, and the remainder of mankind to eternal torture. The Bible most distinctly declares that all, both good and bad, "slept with their fathers." They still sleep, awaiting the time when Abraham's Seed (Galatians 3:16, 20) will be completed, and set up God's Kingdom on earth, overthrow shi and death, and deliver the captives from the tomb. The First, or Chief Resurrection. The First Resurrection began with our Lord Jesus and is not yet complete; for all the Elect are to share both His sacrificial death and His Resurrection. These will reign with Christ a thousand years, and as the Seed of Abraham, fully empowered, will bless all those redeemed by the precious blood of Calvary.—Revelation 20:4. St. Paul emphasizes this point in He brews 11338-4, declaring that while the Ancient Worthies received Indica- tions of God's favors, nevertheless that favor can come only through Christ. Consequently they cannot reach everlasting life until the Spiritual Seed of Abraham shall have been completed. Jesus also attested that they had not gone to vors, nevertheless that favor can come only through Christ. Consequently they cannot reach everlasting life until the Spiritual Seed of Abraham shall have been completed. Jesus also attested that they had not gone to Heaven, saying, "No man hath ascended up to Heaven."-John 3:13. Hope For the Sodomites. The hope for the Sodomites is exactly the same as that for the remainder of mankind. The hope of the world is the Messianic Kingdom, and the deliverance from sin and death which it will effect. The basis of hope for both Church and world is the one sacrifice at Calvary. Jesus declares that it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the Judgment Day (the thousand years of His reign) than for those of His day who rejected Him. This clearly shows that the fate of the Sodomites is not sealed. We also find abundant testimony in Ezekiel 16:46-63 that the Sodomites will be awakened from death, and brought to a knowledge of God and to an opportunity of obtaining human perfection and everlasting life, through the Messiah—the Seed of Abraham—by willing obedience to the laws of the Messianic Kingdom.

True faith seeks for a positive Message from God, and diligently endeavors to find it. Then it becomes an evidence, or proof, of things invisible. By such faith in God's promises, the two bies brought back a good report of the land of Canaan. Their companions, lacking that faith, brought back an unfavorable report. ```markdown ``` By faith Abel offered God a more excellent sacrifice than did Calin. Abel's faith, no doubt, resulted from an endeavor Abel's faith, no my faith the apes doubt, resulted brought a good report from an endeavor to appreciate what sin is and why the death penalty had come. From this standpoint, he offered animals, typifying the "better sacrifices" by which reconciliation will be effected between God and humanity. The story of Enoch's translation is vouchered for more than once; and by faith we may accept it. There is no record as to where he was taken, except that he did not go to Heaven. (John 3:13.) God may have protected his life throughout these centuries to illustrate how human life could have been prolonged by Divine Power, had God not placed the curse of death upon the race of mankind. Noah's faith manifested itself in his building the ark, when there was no apparent excuse for so doing. Rain was unknown until the Deluge. (Genesis 2:5.) God blessed his faith, and made him a channel of blessing to his family. The Faithless Not Acceptable Now. . St. Paul makes a sweeping statement "Without faith it is impossible to please God." A person, then, is pleasing to God in proportion to his faith. Surely here we have an incentive to growth in faith, since God's people desire. Fa: kind, in G cally they faith, need faith, ward are seen cannot believe anything beyond their five senses. Are these to be debarred from Divine favor to all eternity, because they cannot please God? This is not the teaching of Scripture. The Bible teaches that under Messiah's Kingdom "the knowledge of the Lord shall fill the whole earth," reaching all classes. It will not depend upon faith. The way will be so plain that even a simpleton need not err in his endeavor to know the Truth.—Isaiah 35:8. Abraham Looked For a City. Summing up (verse 13), St. Paul declared that all these noble characters died in faith, without having received the things promised. So strong was their faith that they were content to be pilgrims and strangers. They sought a better, a heavenly country—"a City which hath foundations, whose Builder and Maker is God." Did. St. Paul mean that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob wanted to go to Heaven? Were they looking, as the Church is looking, for a place in the New Jerusalem Messiah's Kingdom? Such is not our thought. They had no Heavenly promises to think about. They had no Word of God to even suggest a change of nature from human to spirit being. All of their promises were earthly—"All the land that thou seet, to thee will I give it and to thy seed after thee," etc. To our understanding, the country for which they looked is the Paradise of the near future, when the blessing of the Lord shall supplant the curse of sin and death. This is the country which God purposes shall be the inheritance of hu- will I give it and to thy seed after thee," etc. To our understanding, the country for which they looked is the Paradise of the near future, when the blessing of the Lord shall supplant the curse of sin and death. This is the country which God purposes shall be the inheritance of humanity in general, when brought back into harmony with the Divine will, during Messiah's reign. "The City which hath foundations, whose Builder and Maker is God" is the New Jerusalem, which eventually is to come down from God. But that will not be a literal city. The passage describing it is symbolical. The New Jerusalem will be the Messianic Kingdom, the center of government for the reorganized social order of earth. The faithful Ancient Worthies will be representatives of the invisible Messiah. (Psalm 45:16). These waited for the promised resurrection under Messiah's administration—a city symbolically representing a government; as Washington, the United States. BROOKLYN TABERNACLE BIBLE STUDY ON "In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy path."—Procrista s.4. HEN Abraham was one hundred and forty years old, Sarah had been dead three years, and Isaac was forty. Then Abraham directed Ellezer, his steward, to go with ten camels to the neighborhood where Abraham was born and where Nahor still lived. There Ellezer was to find a suitable bride for Isaac. The story is told with beautiful simplicity. The characters described are neither savages, nor cousins of monkeys, as evolutionists would have us think. The setting is peculiar enough to assure us of its truth. Only recently have Bible Students learned that this unique procedure was evidently arranged to illustrate a great spiritual design, in process of accomplishment for more than eighteen centuries. The type fits well to its antitype. Abraham typified the Heavenly Father; Isaac, the Lord Jesus; and Eliezer, the Holy Spirit. In due time, the Fa- ther sent the Holy Spirit to gather the elect Company which will constitute the Bride, the Lamb's Wife. As Abraham did not take a wife for his son from among the heathen, so God did not select the Bride of Christ from among the ther sent the Holy Spirit to gather the elect Company which will constitute the Bride, the Lamb's Wife. As Abraham did not take a wife for his son from among the heathen, so God did not select the Bride of Christ from among the heathen. As Ellezer went to Abraham's relatives, believers in God, so the Holy Spirit was sent only to believers, to select from these the Church. Rebecca at the well. The Bride class originally was Jewish. The Jews were in fellowship with God under their Law Covenant, and to them alone the Holy Spirit went. Later, the Gentiles were permitted to hear the Gospel, in order that such as responded might-join the Bride class when they fully consecrated themselves to God. Rebecca at the Well. Eliezer, loyal to his commission, sought earnestly the proper person, that Isaac might have a suitable helpmate. When he came to the city of Nahor, he found Nahor's granddaughter Rebecca at the well, caring for the sheep. Those called to joint-heirship with Christ are usually found giving God's people refreshment from the Bless "water of life." Rebecca was tested as to will give the water. Here she had a spirit of service, indicethe meekness and humility for the virtue of Christ. Rebezer gave her jewels, symbolic blessings. Eliezer was reento the house. Rebecca's representing the Household ofJoiced with her. more then explained that Abraham was very rich, that Isaac was his heir, and that he himself had come to find a bride for his master's son. He believed Rebecca to be the Lord's choice for Isaac. Rebecca was then asked whether she would go with Eliezer. Her prompt answer was, "I will go." It meant something for Rebecca to leave her father's house and all with which she was familiar; and so it means considerable for those who accept the call to become the Bride of Christ. Only whole-hearted love for the Lord and well-grounded faith in the "great and precious promises" will carry them through to the journey's end. Rebecca types only those who will finally make their calling and election sure, and become members of "the Bride, the Lainb's Wife."—Revelation 21:9, 10. More Jewels For Rebecca. Then Eliezer gave Rebecca more jewels. So the Bride class receive an early and a later blessing. The graces of the Holy Spirit-faith, fortitude, knowledge, hope, joy, love-enhance their beauty of character. Finally the camels brought Rebecca to her journey's end. The Bride class leave their father Adam's house after they accent the invitation to go to Christ. Through trials and difficulties, they travel down the centuries of this Gospel Age. The camels which bore Rebecca to Isaac's home well represent the Holy Scriptures, by which the faithful are borne along on their journey. A "Rebecca earth Isaac afar off." "Rebecca sereh Isaaca afar off." As Ellezer brought Rebecca safe to the end of their journey to Isaac at Lathai-rol, so the Holy Spirit will guide the Church to the presence, parousia, of Christ. Following the custom of the time, Rebecca put on her vell and alighted from the camel to meet Isaac. So the Scriptures tell us that the Church must pass beyond the Vell before she will be fully received by the antitical Isaac. Rebecca's maidens typify the consecrated class now following the Bride class, but not fully living up to their privileges. The blessing pronounced upon Rebecca, "Be thou the mother of thousands of millions," represents the future of the Church. For as the Redeemer will, during His Millennial reign, become the Father, or Lifegiver, to thousands of millions of Adam's race, bought with His own precious blood, so the Church will become the mother, or caretaker, to assist them to perfection. BROOKLYN TABERNACLE BIBLE-STUDY ON ABRAHAM'S FAITH TESTED. Genesis 22:1-13—March 16. "I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings."—Iloane 6:6. TODAY'S Study tells one reason why Abraham was styled the Father of the Faithful. His history, depicted in the Bible, is one of trust in the Divine promises; but the final test, which we study today, marked him very high, according to Divine and human standards. The faith recorded in our lesson is so colossal as to amaze us! This test came through the Divine command that Abraham should take Isaac, the heir of promise, and offer him in sacrifice on Mt. Morlah. Abra- ham was now one hundred twenty-five years old. Isaac was the Divinely appointed channel for the blessings promised. Now after half a century of waiting and trusting, could it be possible that God wished him thus to demonstrate his faith? It was so. He had a positive hundred twenty-five years old. Isaac was the Divinely appointed channel for the blessings promised. Now after half a century of waiting and trusting, could it be possible that God wished him thus to demonstrate his faith? It was so. He had a positive command. It was no imagination, no whisperings of witches or wizards. It was no dream. To one of Abraham's character, the Divine command meant prompt obedience. Forthwith he journeyed, accompanied by his servants. Then leaving them, Abraham and Isaac journeyed to the top of Mt. Moriah, afterwards the site of the Temple. The very rock upon which Isaac is supposed to have been bound became the location for the Brazen Altar. The patriarch and his son came to this spot. Then Abraham, with faltering lips, but determined heart, told Isaac of the Divine command. There he offered his son, even though the knife did not strike the fatal blow. The offering was complete in the sight of Heaven; and the hand was stayed. As the Apostle explains, "Abraham received his son from the dead in a figure."—Hebrews 11:19. The Antitype of All This. These incidents of olden time had their effect upon the actors; but to God's consecrated people, enlightened by the Holy Spirit, they have still further meaning. Abraham served as a type of God, and Isaac of Christ, Head and Body. In the antitype God freely offered His Son for the sins of the whole world. "God gave Hls only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him might have everlasting life." In the antitypical God arranged that Jesus should be Head of the Church, which is His Body. Hence the sufferings of Christ, accomplished by Jesus, were only part of the sufferings of the antitypical Isaac. Here the Apostle declares, "We, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise." The Church of Christ is required to prove her worthiness of sharing in the First Resurrection, by being made conformable to Christ's death. The cup which our Lord drank He passed on to His followers, saying, "Drink ye all of it." The Ram In the Thicket. When God stayed Abraham's hand through the angel, a ram caught in a thicket was provided as a sacrifice instead. Thus a ram in sacrifice became the symbol of the Seed of Abraham, and an indication of the process by which reconciliation of Divine Justice will be made on behalf of humanity. This thought was repeated in God's subsequent dealings with Israel. Thus the Passover Lamb was slain, and its blood sprinkled, typically foretelling that there could be no Church of the First-born during this Gospel Age, except through the slain "Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." Israel's sin offerings and burnt offerings spoke of a redemptive work to be accomplished before the blessing could come. Amongst many lessons learned from the testings of Abraham's faith are these: (1) The necessity for the death of the One through whom blessings will eventually come to mankind. If Jesus had not died for our sins, there would have been no remission of them. Hence there would have been no resurrection of the dead, and in that event death would have meant extinction. ```markdown ``` (2) Let us be sure that if Jesus had not faithfully consummated His part of the agreement and laid down His Isaac's antitype—"the of the agreement and laid down His life, neither would He have shared in the grand consummation and exaltation to the Divine nature. St. Paul declared this, saying that our Lord was obedient unto death, "even the death of the cross, wherefore [on this account] God also hightly exalted Him."—Phillips 2:3, 9. (3) We are to remember that the same rude applies to all of the Church It is not sufficient that we consecrate our lives. We must show our loyalty and our faithfulness by laying down our lives, by taking up the cross, by drinking of His cup, by being immersed into His death. Only such will share Messiah's Throne of Glory. "If we suffer, we shall reign with Him; if we be dead with Him, we shall also live with Him."—2 Timothy 2:11, 12; Romans 8:17. BROOKLYN TABERNACLE BIBLE-STUDY-ON "He is faithful that promised." — Hebrews 10:25. TODAY'S Study directs our attention to God's oath, whereby the Covenant was confirmed to Abraham. St. Paul calls attention to the fact that the repetitions of the Covenant to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, as well as God's oath, were intended especially for Spiritual Israel—the church. — Hebrews 6:16-19. The Promise was primarily to Abraham himself—"All the land which thou seest will I give thee—and thy seed after thee." The Israelites have never had permanent possession of that land. Time and again other nations held it. Now for centuries it has belonged to Turkey ```markdown ``` The Jews have no right to that land except through this great Oath-bound Covenant made to Abraham. How foolish, therefore, do ham. How fool- Spiritual Seed-"as ish, therefore, do those intellectual Jews appear who disclaim Abraham as mythical, but who, nevertheless, claim the Land of Promise! It will never belong to any except those who hold to the Promise. -Romanus 4:11-14. Abraham's Three Wives Typical. While Abraham and his wives were real personages, their affairs were so supervised by God that they became types. Abraham typified God; Isaac, the Messiah; and Rebecca, the Church, Messiah's Joint-heir in the Kingdom. -Galatians 3:6-29. Abraham's wives were types of God's three great Covenantants, through which His blessings will come. St. Paul explains that, as Sarah was barren, so the chief Covenant was barren—until Jesus came. Meantime, Hagar became representatively the wife, and attempted to bring forth the heir of Promise, but failed. St. Paul declares that in this, Hagar typified the Law Covenant, which failed to bring forth the real Seed of Abraham, competent to bless all the families of the earth.—Galatians 4:22-31. As Hagar was a bondwoman, she typified the bondage of the Law Covenant; and Ishmael, Inspiration points out, typified Israel after the flesh. As later on the barren Sarah brought forth the promised son, so, St. Paul explains, God's original Covenant in due time brought forth the true Heir. Jesus—Messiah Abraham's All Given to Isaac. In the type Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac, through him making provision for Ishmael and for Keturah's children. In the antitype God bestows all His fullness upon Christ. The Messiah, and through Him makes provision for the natural Israelites and all mankind. Hagar and Sarah were types of the Law Covenant and our Covenant of the Gospel Age. Abraham's third wife, Keturah, taken after Sarah's death, typified the New Covenant, which the Bible declares will be inaugurated at the close of this Gospel Age. Under that New Covenant the Spiritual Seed of Abraham, The Christ, will bless all the families of the earth during the thousand years of the Messianic reign. Such is the length, the breadth, the height and the depth of God's Love for humanity, and His provision for their future: As the Stars and as the Sangs Only of late have Bible Students discerned that Abraham is to have two seeds, exclusive of the Ishmaelites of the Law, or Hagar. Covenant. "The seed shall be as the stars of heaven and the sands of the seashore." The stars filly picture to us a glorified Christ and His Church. His Bride, changed from earthly to Heavenly conditions—the Spiritual Seed of Abraham. Tr The law of Ruman Covenant. "Thy seed shall be as the stars of heaven and the sands of the seashore." The stars filly picture to us a glorified Christ and His Church. His Bride, changed from earthly to Heavenly conditions—the Spiritual Seed of Abbraham. To these St. Paul refers in Galatians 3:20 and 1 Corinthians 15:41, 42. God's Oath to Abraham. Professor Gods has ably pointed out that the procedure of dividing an animal and passing between the two parts was an ancient form of oath. Thus God adopted the strongest possible symbolism for assuring Abraham and his posterity that the Abrahamic Covenant will never be broken. St. Stephen noted that the Abrahamic Promise had not been fulfilled in Apostolic times, even though Israel possessed Canaan for centuries. Abraham never owned a foot of it. (Acts 7:2.5.) St. Stephen's reasoning is that after Messiah sets up His Kingdom, Abraham will come forth to inherit the land and to bestow it upon his posterity. But the antitype—the whole earth—will be the Land of Promise to all who shall return to harmony with God, and constitute the earthly seed of Abraham. --- RESTITUTION IN "PEARL OF ANTILLES" Pastor Russell, Returning From Panama, Visits Cuba. Modern Application of a Familiar Text. What the Bible Means by "Restitution Times"—The Pastor Claims Each "Time" a Year, a Thousand Altogether and a Beginning Made. Earth's Happy Day Nearing—A Little While, a Dark Hour May Intervene. Havana, Cuba, March 2—Rustor Russell is delighted with Cuba, and does not fall to call attention to the wide contrast between present sanitary conditions and those which prevailed so short a time ago, when this fair land suffered continually from yel. PASTOR RUSSELL PASTOR RUSSELL low fever and other tropical alliments The Pastor referred to General Wood as the one through whose energy and skill Cuba's restitution and rejuvenation came about. "Honor to whom honor is due" appears to be one of Pastor Russell's mottoes. The Pastor's text was Acts 3:19-21: "Times of Restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all His Holy Prophets since the world began." He said:— In Panama a week ago I saw one of the stupendous works of man in subduing, or conquering, the earth and making it suitable for his purposes. I testified to the people there, and to the millions who read my sermons, respecting the increased education of humanity through modern inventions, which speak to us of the dawning of the New Era long foretold in the Bible. Today I point you to man's increasing skill along other lines. The laws of health and of disease are much better understood than ever in the past. The laws of chemistry applicable to nearly everything in life, are marvelously clear and greatly extended beyond anything of previous times. This increased knowledge lies close to the work of sanitation, which is so generally approved and so widely extended. All this sudden influx of knowledge, not only upon the few learned, but upon the masses of mankind also, is a sign of the dawning of the New Day of God's blessing—Restitution. Millennial Work In Cuba. The Pastor urged this congregation to consider this wonderful transformation of conditions in their fair island an exemplification of the great work which will prevail throughout the whole world very shortly. It properly raises our estimation of human intelligence, and of the benefcience of the United States Government, whose agent in this transforming work was General Wood. What has taken place so markedly in Cuba under sanitary regulation is gradually being accomplished all over the world. It marks the dawning of the New Day referred to in his text as "Times of Restitution of all things," which God has promised from the beginning. Everywhere in the Scriptures the glorious work of human uplift is directly associated with Messiah's Kingdom. Perhaps many have expected the blessings to come in another way; nevertheless, now that they are coming, all should be able to see the facts and to acknowledge prophetical fulfillments. Is it any less true that the wilderness is coming to blossom as the rose because this is resulting from human energy—well-drilling and other irrigation projects? Surely not! "God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform." His wonders to perform." And that mysterious way is usually through human instrumentality, as improved conditions here in Cuba abundantly witness. Instead of being disappointed that God is using humanity for the fulfillment of His glorious promises, we should all rejoice that mankind may be associated with the marvels of Divine Wisdom. Nevertheless, the best that has been attained here or anywhere is evidently far below the glorious standard of perfection which God declares to be the ultimate result. Best of All—Human Restitution. As man fell from the image and likeness of God, Restitution would mean to him a return to that image and likeness. Of all the Restitution wonders, this will be the grandest. Were "every prospect pleasing" and humanity were still vile, sinful, imperfect—mentally morally and physically—the curse would still rest upon the earth. The evidences of the beginning of Restitution in the lifting of some man's ignorance and superstition are by no means the realization of what is to be expected. If a taste of Divine goodness is so refreshing and happifying, will the full draft mean to our poor race! My message is meaningless to those who have left the teachings of the Word of God, and who believe in human evolution. Disbelieving in the fall of our race from the Divine image in the flesh, these must logically deny also the redemption, and all necessity for a SAVER to die for our sins. Surely they could not count it sin to expertence evolution, as they claim; and if sin has not been committed, then there could not be a redemption from sin, nor a restitution to a condition enjoyed before sin entered the world. All such theories, therefore, are unscriptural. For this reason they are in antagonism to the Bible view, that man fell from God's image six thousand years ago; that he has passed through six great Days in which his prevalled a reign of sin and death, induced by Satan at the beginning, and still, to some extent, influenced by him. Under this reign of sin and death, man has lost much of the Divine image, and has become brutal—more or less. The redemptive work of Jesus is not to be understood as a change of the Divine Plan and an abandonment of the earth as a Paradise, populated by humans in the mental and moral likeness of the Creator. God changes not. The mistake was merely one of ours, not authorized by the Bible. The time for Restitution was not due when Jesus gave His life as man's Redemption-price; but those "times," or years, of Restitution are due now; for we are living in the dawning time of the great Seventh day ta Thousand-Year Day! Messiah's first work as the great King of earth is about to be inaugurated. He is about to blind Satan—"that old serpent, the Devil!" He is about to bless, not only the earth, but also humanity, by rolling away the original curse. Messiah's Kingdom is pictured as a Day ushered in by a glorious sunrise of truth and grace. In contrast with its light and knowledge, all the past six thousand years are figuratively spoken of as darkness. (Isaiah 60:22. But the Sun of Righteousness now arises with healing in His beans. Gradually, not suddenly, the sun arises and so the Restitution blessings are coming in gradually, not suddenly. Sometimes in the early morning there is a thunder storm, which for a brief space hinders the dawning of the day. But it results in the drenching of the earth with a refreshing shower. So, according to the Bible, will this New Day of Messiah's Kingdom be ushered in, by a terrific storm of trouble. But it will be short; and its effects upon the earth will be refreshing. The great contrast between the righteousness of the future and the sin of the present will be so conspicuous that all will enjoy the new condition: "The desire of all nations shall come." - Haggai 2:3. "God Moves In a Mysterious Way." God has withheld the knowledge of certain features of His Divine Program—for our good, we may be sure. The supposition upon which many of us went in times past is untenable. We supposed that God in the Bible had set forth in plain terms everything respecting His Plan. When we could not find it, we tried to manufacture it. It is good to study the Word, even if we do not understand. And if our forefathers got themselves into difficulties through errors of judgment in studying God's Word, we may be sure that they were not especially disadvantaged thereby. Not seeing the Divine purpose, they were required to exercise more faith. But that greater amount of faith was not then more difficult, probably, than the less amount now necessary. Christian theologians become so intent in their reasoning upon the Heavenly things appertaining to the Church that they forget all about the world. As cruelly became more pronounced the Word of God was less studied. It is not strange that our forefathers concluded that all except the Church would be eternally tormented. And when they concluded this to be God's Plan, it is not surprising that they concluded to join in the persecution themselves. Thus it comes that the pages of history are the records of bloody persecutions—sometimes directly from Christians, and sometimes indirectly from Christians through earthly governments. Thus the entire civilized world has become intoxicated with the wine of false doctrine from the cup of the wq man who sat upon the beast, falsely representing herself as the Bride of Christ, but living in figurative harlotry with the kingdoms of this world (Revelation 17:1-5; 19:3.) As we get over the stupetaction of our intoxication of error, reason begins to return to us. The Apostle calls this "the spirit of a sound mind." We must not boast. There is still considerable darkness. But we are nearing the glorious light! The Divine Character is shining out as it was never seen before! Divine Love and Mercy are conspicuous. Divine Justice is seen in its true light. Proportionately as we see these things, our souls magnify and glorify the Lord, who is good, and whose Mercy endureth forever. Gathering of the Elect Now. The work of this present Age is unquestionably the gathering of God's Elect. It is equally unquestionable that the saintly are the Elect. St. Paul points out to us that this is God's foreordination; namely, that all who will be elected in this present Age must be copies of God's dear Son. This is what is predestinated—the terms and conditions, the requirements and qualifications of the Elect. (Romans 8:20, 30.1 God will permit none others to be of that number. But not a word is said in the Scriptures about God's having predestined the non-elect to torment. Quite to the contrary, His predestination for the non-elect is that they shall be blessed by the Elect after the Elect Church is completed, after the Church, the Bride, shall have entered with her Bridegroom-Lord into the glories of Messiah's Kingdom. The Elect are the Seed of Abraham First of all, the natural seed were elected, or chosen, of God to special privileges and opportunities under the Law Covenant; while the remainder of the world, called Gentiles, were allowed for century after century to go down to death without God, having no hope in the world. There was a hope for them, but they knew not of it, because God's time for revealing it to them had not yet come. If the Jews told the outsiders that they would ultimately bless all nations, the others laughed it such a suggestion, feeling that they were as competent to bless the world as were the Jews. This, indeed, was what the Babylonians tried. Next after them came the Medes and Persians; after them the Grecians; and still later came the Romans. Each of these stamped their ideas upon the world to the best of their ability, and gave their laws. Each attempted to show how much more competent than the others it was for earthly rulership. But, alas! none of them ruled satisfactorily or brought in "the desire of all nations." Meantime, also, the Jews waited for the fulfilment of their promises. Meantime, also, God renewed the promises, and assured them that He would send the Messiah to be their Deliverer shortly. When Jesus came, He came not as a warrior, like Alexander the Great or Napoleon. He was meek and lowly of heart; and He called the poor, the malmed, the halt—mentally, morally and physically—to His standard. Not unnaturally the Jewish leaders repudiated Him and crucified Him, declaring that He did not represent their ideals and must be a deceiver. I Corinthians: 2:7, 8. Similarly they treated His followers. As St. Paul declared, "As deceivers and yet true," the early Christians suffered reproach. The Jews understood not God's Message. They saw not that it was necessary for Jesus to die, "the Just for the unjust," to be a Redemption-price for the sins of the world. They saw not that such a death was necessary to Him, in order that He might attain the glory, honor and immortality of the future. They saw not that the disciples that Jesus called were saints. However weak these were, mentally and morally, their hearts were loyal, and they strove to walk in the footstones of Jesus. People have not realized that, during this Gospel Age, God has been accepting the saintly ones who come unto the Father through the Savior. They have not seen that the suffering of these was necessary for their testing and proving, and for their instruction in righteousness, that they might be fully qualified for glory, honor and immortality and joint-heelship with Christ their Redeemer. St. Paul speaks of the Church as a Mystery class. It is a Mystery to the world: first, it is the selecting of a class the world would never think of choosing—a humble, meek class; second, neither the Jews nor the world realize that this class constitutes the Spiritual Seed of Abraham, to bless all the families of the earth. Nevertheless God's great Plan goes on, whether they know or do not know Ultimately it will work out a glorious result. Then Natural Israel and all nations will know. Then the Church, the Elect, the Seed, the Bride, the Lamb's Wife, will be joined to Him in bonds of perpetual love, zeal and faithfulness. Then will begin the very blessing God so long ago declared, saying to Abraham, "In thee and in thy Seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed."-Gen. 12:3; 18:18; 22:18; 26:4 Abraham's Spiritual Seed. God has not changed His purposes (Malachi 3:6). He created man an earthly being. He permitted him to fall. He purposed his redemption through Jesus. He purposed the calling of the Church of Christ, to be His associates in the Kingdom. He purposed that this Kingdom should be a Spiritual one: "Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians 15:50). He purposed that this Spiritual Kingdom should bless the world with Restitution blessings—bringing back to perfection all] the willing and obedient of Adam's race. This is the Program still. We merely got a wrong impression when we thought that God's purpose was the bringing of all mankind to Heavenly conditions and nature. No, not that blessed experience is only for the Church class. God still purposes Restitution for the world of mankind. In Abraham's Seed all the families of the earth will be blessed. If we see signs of these great blessings beginning now, it is a sure indication that the Elect must be almost complete. And if that be true, all of us who have, vowed consecration to the Lord and His service should be thoroughly awake to our blessings and privileges, and to the fact that the time of most especial testing is even now at the door. If we are to make our calling and our election sure, we must lose no opportunity for demonstrating that we are now, to God and His Word, and to the brethren. Along these very times we must expect tests, too. How else could we be proved? Moreover, how is the time to expect light on the Divine Word and Plan; and we are getting it. We are seeing the d'ference between human nature and Divine nature, between the earthly blessing that is to come to mankind and the "high calling" which is the portion of the Elect. God declares that the Mystery hidden from the past Ages and Dispensations, which He kept secret from the beginning of the world, is to cease to be a mystery. The Mystery becomes daily, yea, hourly, less pronounced, as we come into that condition of mind in which God will reveal to us His arrangements. Truly ours is a glorious time! Let us avail ourselves of the present glorious opportunities for Bible study and growth in knowledge, grace and love. Let us walk worthy of the light; and rejoicing let us note that Jesus is yet to be "the Light of the world"—"which lighteth every man that cometh into the world."—John 1:9. WRONG BABY BURIED IN MIX-UP TO EXHUME AND IDENTIFY BODY Woman, Whose Daughter Supposedly Had Died In Philadelphia Hospital, Claims Little One Refused by Parents of Another. The confusion of two tiny pasteboard charts at the Philadelphia Hospital for Contagious Diseases, at Second and Luzerne streets, Philadelphia, has developed astounding results in the burial of one child under the name of another, who, to her parents' overwhelming joy, has been restored to them as one raised from the dead. The living child is three-year-old Mollie Engelman, daughter of David and Mary Engelman, 629 West Montgomery avenue, where all day long friends have collected in dazed surprise to express congratulations which are all too weak to meet the remarkable situation. In another home, that of Mr. and Mrs. Isadore Kaufman, 294 Westmont street, there is naught but desolating sorrow, for there has pierced to their hearts the terrible conviction that their daughter, Beatrice, whom they thought soon to have back in their household, lies under the earth in Mt. Carmel cemetery. The remarkable revelation which carried such overpowering joy to one home, such harrowing grief to another, came when the Kautmans refused to accept the child offered them as their daughter. Immediately there began an investigation which showed that the little girl really was Mollie Engelman. Hope died hard with the Kaufmans, but it died at last. Mrs. Kaufman, racked by sobs, her eyes red and swollen, her face wot with tears, said that she was finally possessed of the dread certainty that the child buried as Mollie Engelman was Beatrice Kaufman. "Oh, the horror of it! the horror of it!" she cried. "I had looked for Beatrice home so soon. Oh, my God!" the woman flung herself moaning upon a couch. The identity of the child who died will be learned definitely. For the body will be disinterred. It will be taken to the hospital and there viewed by the parents. The hospital authorities, like the mother, are convinced, however, that the body will prove that of Beatrice. Both, Beatrice and Mollie, children of corresponding age, were taken to the hospital with scarlet fever. They were admitted within a day of each other, and because of the overcrowded condition of the ward they were put into the bed. The investigation, so far as it has gone, shows that the charts for the children, bearing their names and their "histories," were placed on a window sill near the bed. In the case of Beatrice, diphtheretic symptoms developed, so she was romeved to another ward. Apparently, in removing the child, the nurse picked up the wrong chart, the one hearing, the name Mollie Engelman, and as Mollie Engelman was Beatrice, known in her new surroundings; as Mollie Engelman, it seems, she died. The hospital placed the blame on the nurse. She has been discharged for inefficiency. Railroads and Firemen to Arbitrate. There will be no firemen's strike on the fifty-four eastern railroads. The railroads yielded and agreed to arbitrate under the Erdman act the controversy with the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen The firemen had stood to a man for this method of arbitration ever since the deadlock began. The conference committee of railroad managers had stood firm for arbitration before a commission of six or seven men. The agreement to arbitrate was signed in New York immediately by both sides, through their proper officers. The Brotherhood men selected their representative on the board of arbitrators so soon as the railroads' decision was announced. He is Albert Phillips, of Sacramento, Cal., vice president of their organization. The railroads selected as their man W. W. Atterbury, of Philadelphia, vice president of the Pennsylvania railroad. Mr. Atterbury formerly was general manager of that company and mainly was instrumental in settling the Pennsylvania's differences with its men about six or more years ago. Within a day or two these two men will select the third, or neutral member. Within thirty days thereafter the arbitrators must announce their findings. Killed Himself Before Girl. George Ward, thirty-two years old. of Philadelphia, shot and instantly killed himself in the parlor of the home of Anna Candil, 526 Cedar street, Camden, N. J. Ward was in love with the young woman. He appeared at her home and found her talking with her mother in the dining room. He asked her to go into the parlor for a private conversation. Once alone with the young woman, Ward asked her to marry him. She refused to do so, and Ward drew a revolver and fired, the bullet striking him just back of the right ear. Mrs. Camlin ran into the room and caught her daughter as she fell in a faint. Neighbors sent word to the police. Ward was taken to Cooper hospital. At the hospital it was said that death had been instantaneous. Offered $20,000 to Release Thaw Testifying before Governor Sulzer's committee of inquiry in Albany, N. Y., Dr. Joan W. Russell, the superintendent of the Matteawan hospital, said he was offered $20,000 by a lawyer a few weeks ago if he would agree to release Harry K. Thaw. Dr. Russell said he refused. He could not recall the lawyer's name, but said the offer was made in a New York hotel. Dr. Russell also testified that William F. Clark, secretary of the Sulzer Inquiry committee, has told him that "Governor Sulzer would be pleased to have Thaw released." Dr. James V. May, a member of the state hospital commission, testified that he had been approached in the same way. Governor Sulzer declared that the use of his name was unauthorized. "If Mr. Clark or any other man made the statement that Thaw's release would be pleasing to me, it is absolutely untrue," said Governor Sulzer. On Feb. 15, Dr. Russell said, Dr. May called him on the telephone from Albany, saying he had seen the governor, and that Mr. Sulzer would issue no order and "the case would have to take its regular course." "I told Dr. May," continued the witness, "that if the governor wanted this thing done he would have to give a written order." Bomb Wrecks Country Home. "Walton-on-Hill," the country residence of David Lloyd-George, chancellor of the exchequer, at Walton Heath, in Surrey, near London, was nearly destroyed by a bomb which the police say was placed there either by militant suffragettes or their, male sympathizers. Lloyd-George is on a motor trip in France. Nobody was injured, as the residence was not occupied. The fact that neighbors saw several women near "Walton-on-Hill" in an automobile led to the theory that the outrage had been committed by suffragettes. This suspicion was strengthened by the finding of two hatpins in the wreckage. Morgan, Better, to Stay In Egypt. J. Plerpont Morgan, who has been suffering from indigestion both before and since he left the United States, has much improved in condition since his return to Calro, Egypt, on Saturday from his trip up the Nile. The voyage on board the Adratic had not worked the benefit expected by Mr. Morgan, nor did his trip up the Nile bring about the improvement he had hoped for. For this reason he returned to Cairo earlier than he had planned to do. Mr. Morgan now feels so much better that he has decided to remain in Egypt until March 10, when he will sall on board he Adratic in accordance with his original program. Marines Sail For Cuba.

What is commonly meant by "reading the riot act" is better known than the origin of the phrase. The historical riot act was passed by the British parliament in the reign of George L. in 1714. It enacts that felony is committed when twelve or more persons unlawfully, riotously and tumultously assemble together to the disturbance of the public peace, so to continue together for an hour after being compounded to disperse by the sheriff or undersherrif or a justice or the mayor of the borough. In the "reading" of the British riot act, which is a necessary preliminary to its being put into operation, it is not customary to recite the whole of the statute, which is rather a long one, but only the following proclamation, which it contains: "Our sovereign lord the king charzeth and commandeth all persons being assembled immediately to disperse themselves and peaceably to depart to their habitations or to their lawful business upon the pains contained in the act made in the first year of King George for preventing tumults and riotous assemblies. God save the king!" Lincoln's Book Friends A few fine books, well known, like a few fine friends, are worth more than many mere acquaintances. The Bible, "Aesop's Fables," "Robinson Crusoe" and "Pilgrim's Progress" were Lincoln's real friends. He used to lie on the floor and laugh over the "Arabian Nights." When his stepmother saw that books meant a great deal more to him than they did to any of her own children she took "particular care," as she said, "not to disturb him till he quit of his own accord." She honored his private bookcase between the logs next to his bed, and the big fires he used to build to read by at night. She knew that he carried a book out to the fields so that he could read while his horse was resting, and often she would find him copying out, with his turkey buzzard pen and a brier root ink, some favorite part to remember. "A boy like that deserves to have his chance," she would say to herself.—Arladne Gilbert in St. Nicholas. A duel in which Bismarck was once engaged had a very amusing origin. It occurred when he was chief secretary of the Prussian legation at Frankfurt. He went much into society and one Christmas attended a big ball During the height of the festivities Bismarck's attention was directed to an exceedingly pompous individual who strutted about the room. This was M. de Clancy, a noted French duelist. Later on this important individual took part in the dance, but having omitted to leave his hat at the proper place had perforce to hold it out almost at arm's length while he danced The spectacle tickled Bismarck intensely, and, as the Frenchman came sailing majestically along, Bismarck stepped forward and dropped a coin into the hat. A duel was one of the next day's events. Though it was with pistols Bismarck escaped unhurt, while his adversary was wounded. A New York lawyer said in Washington of a certain exposure: "The proof was positive—as positive as the proof against the barber. "There was a barber who was accused of secret nebility, but his old patrons refused to credit such a charge. "A stunch old patron went to the man to be shaved one morning. The barber in silence began to lather him, and then suddenly seized him by the nose. "Lathering away, the barber gripped the nose so firmly that its owner grunted in pain. "Here, let go my nose." "But the barber, still holding on, said as he fathered steadily on: "Can't! If I did I'd fall down."—Washington Star. He Adored Whitaker Whittaker, of almanac fame, would seem to have been a better known name than that of the poet John Greenleaf Whittier. The poet was once pestered by a man who followed him to his rural retreat, declaring that he adored his works and wanted his autograph. He exhibited overwhelming enthusiasm and "Yet all the time," said Whittier, "he called me Whittaker."—London Standard. "Willie, why couldn't you find the result of these examples you took home?" Inquired the teacher in a sharp voice. "Please, im'am," replied the shaking boy, "me father says they wuz too hard for him, an' would you mind giving me a few easter ones to do?"—Woman's Home Companion. Making Him Comfortable "I would box your ears," said a young lady to her stupid and tiresome admirer, "if" "If what?" he asked anxiously. "If," she repeated, "I could get a box large enough for the purpose."—London Telegraph "Brown got off a great mother-in-law joke the other night." "Pop, what does tempting fate mean?" "Tempting fate, my son, means wearing a high hat in snowballing time."—Judge. Heaven never helps the man who will not act—Sophocles. --- A Bismarck Duel Positive Proof. "Here, let go my nose."

Sunday, February 23, was a fine day for services and educational endeavor. Pastor Powell delivered a very forceful sermon in the morning on "Man, the Medium (or source) of Happiness in the World." The Sunday School grows more and more interesting each Sabbath. But the evening service was the "happy hour" of the day. The Second Baptist Church was most surely the gathering place for a full and select company of visitors, who came from several outside communities to witness the educational meeting of musical and literary exercises given for the benefit of the public school. The teachers, Miss K. C. Carter, principal. Miss E. A. Lucas, assistant, and Miss May Smith, the county industrial teacher, are to be congratulated on the first-rate program they had prepared for a delighted and appreciative audience. Miss Lucas, of Washington, D. C., as sister of the assistant teacher, rendered in super style a pleasing violin solo, with Miss E. A. Lucas at the organ. The soloist, with violin and rack supporting the music sheet, took her position on the front rostrum, showing graceful position and easy movement, while the sweet strains of music filled the house, and but for a previous ruling of the pastor, applause would have been given by an evidently satisfied audience. All the vocal solos and recitations were well delivered. Among those who rendered vocal selections may be mentioned Mrs. M. E. Carpenter, Miss Anna Henderson, Miss Otis Wade, with Mr. Newman, Miss E. A. Lucas and the church organist as accompanist. The sum realized from this entertainment was some six or seven dollars, which go to aid in the extension of the school, term.

A larger or more progressive gathering of young men of the race have never put their feet beneath a festal board in the Nation's Capital. It represented an inspiration for the present and a glowing promise for the future. The program of speeches, embracing a number of topics of practical value and strong contemporaneous interest, was as follows: "The Progress of Criminal Law Reform" Chester A. Carpenter. Reform, Chester R. C. Miller "The Position of the United States Relative to Panama Canal Tolls, Peter R. Lee "The Political Status of the American Negro" John U. Berry. can be explained of Law and Its Relation to Modern Sociology," Harry A. Capehart, "The Relation of Judicial Procedure to Government." Garfield C. Thomn-10 "Federal Control of Corporation" Edward R. Dryer. "Our Moral Duty as Lawyers." E. N. Jones. E. Jones. "Fifty Years of Freedom," Huver I. Brown. "Class of '13," Arthur E. Briscoe. Mr. Arthur A. Rhanbo acquitted himself admirably as toastmaster. An opportunity for brief discussion was allowed and a brilliant array of supplementary talks was given by members of the class not down on the regular program. Felicitous addresses were delivered by Prof. W. H. Hart, of the faculty of Howard Law School, and Mr. R. W. Thompson, president of the National Negro Press Association, who were special guests of the occasion. The class "well" was heard early and often. The officers of Howard's law class of 1913 are: President. John E. Roundtree; vice-president, Robert D. Brooks; secretary, Arthur E. Briscoe; assistant secretary, William H. Tabbs; treasurer, Harry J. Capehart; servant-at-arms, Garfield C. Thompson. The social committee was made up of Alonzo Ware, chairman; E. R. Dryver, Haver I. Brown. Philip G. Reed and Joseph Thornton. The remaining members of the class are: William B. Bruce, J H. Berry, Walter L. Browne, William H. Burrell, John H. Clinton, C. A. Carpenter, Artee H. Fleming, J Arthur Davis, Henry E. Dunne, Marion F. Harris, Edward E. Jones, Bernard I. Jackson, B. T. Montgomery, William E. Martin, James E. Buckner, John W. Robinson, Jacob L. Reid, and Alfred H.

Gray's mirror-encircled dining room was a bower of beauty, American flags and bunting being displayed on the walls. The tables sparkled with cut-glass and Haviland china, and huge bouquets of tea roses added picturesque to the color scheme. Musical selections were played on a high-grade pianola during the discussion of the menu, and between the speeches. The menu, which was gotten up in the style which has made James W. Gray famous the country over, was as follows: Cream Tomato Soup Celery Fish Fillet de Beer with Mushrooms Mashed Potatoes Green Peas Lettuce and Tomato Salad Ice Cream Cake Coffee Claret WITH COLORED ENTERTAIN ERS AT PALM BEACH, FLA. Palm Beach, Fla., Feb. 10. The height of the season is now on at Palm Beach, and the colored entertainers have now come into their own. Monday night was the third of the great cakewalks conducted at the Royal Poinciana, and was decidedly the best, both as to entertainment and the enthusiasm of the large crowd present, which was the largest of the season. Kid Cole, the peer of all cakewalkers, led each contest, and received a round of applause as he made his appearance. The quartette this season, led by George Jones, is exceedingly good; Phoney Gardener is a singer of no mean ability. The Glee Club in the Palm Room each night is really one of the greatest hits at this social center, and society crowd there every night to hear these colored singers entertain. The basketball season started Friday, January 24, between the Breakers and Pointiana, the former winning a great game, which was lost by Mike Brown, first baseman of the Pointiana, who made a muff of a thrown ball with the bases full and let in three runs, which was enough to enable the Breakers to carry away the game. These teams furnish great sport and there is much rivalry between them. Hundreds of dollars change hands at each contest. The guests that come here to spend the season usually back the team that represent the hotel at which they stop, while the colored help is heart and soul with their own boys. These teams are made up of talent that represent the best colored baseball teams in the country. To date the backers of Poincaina are behind, as the Breakers have won four games, three of which were in succession, while the best the Poincaina boys could do is to win only two. The Greatest day at the resort is George Washington's birthday, when they have the great athletic meet and field sport, when all the participants are colored. The entries are large and great contests are looked for. The prizes are valuable and there are always great contests of skill between the contestants. The 100-yard dash between fat men weighing over 225 pounds is easily the feature of the day's sport. Already sixteen entries have been received, assuring a riproaring contest from start to finish. There are many good athletes among the boys here, and all are working hard each day getting in good condition for the various events. At a meeting of the Alumni of the Armstrong Manual Training School, Wednesday, February 19. a temporary organization was formed looking forward to a permanent organization of the Armstrong graduates. The following officers (temporary) were elected: Mr. R. I. Vaughn, chairman. Mr. Herbert Stevens, secretary. Mr. Chas. Wesley, chairman of committee on arrangements, Board of Education of the District of Columbia, Washington, February 26, 1913.

Man Who Turned Against Madero Now Acting President. 1913, by American Press Association. General Victoriano Huerta, Mexico's latest dictator is the senior officer in command of the Mexican army with the rank of major general. For many months he has been in command of all the federal forces in the vicinity of Mexico City. When General Diaz and General Reyes began their revolt on Sunday, Feb. 5. Huerta was designated to take charge of the situation. He disposed the federal forces and personally led many of the assaults in the last ten days of fighting around the arsenal, where Diaz was fortified. Seven children, ranging in age from two to twelve years, the entire family of Mr. and Mrs. George Smith, were burned to death in their log cabin home, a few miles from Harrisburg, Pa., which was totally destroyed by a fire of unknown origin. The father and mother had been in Harrisburg, purchasing supplies for the family, and made the gruesome discovery upon their return. Most of the packages the parents carried were toys and candies for the children. Small charred bodiege, almost unrecognizable among the smouldering ruins, were all the evidence of what had been a lot of romping children. The family had expected to move to a nearby farm. The father and mother arrived at their home while the fire was at its height, and the mother was restrained with difficulty from dashing into the flaming building in an effort to save her children. The house was built on a hillside, and during the fire the children could be seen huddled on their beds, but it is believed that life was extinct before anyone reached the place. The two-year-old baby's body was found clasped in the arms of the oldest daughter, aged twelve, in the ruins of the bed on which they had gone to sleep. It is thought that the fire started in the kitchen and that the dense smoke caused the deaths of the children be fore the fire reached them. Joaquin Miller, poet of the Sierras, died at his home at the Heifights on Hills, which overlook Berkeley, Oak land and San Francisco bay. Death came as the result of natural decline of physical force in the aged poet, who was seventy-two years old. Miller had been ill for five days and he had been confined to his bed for six weeks. His wife and his daughter, Juanita, were the only ones in attend ance. About a year ago Mr. Miller was taken seriously ill, and his wife, who had been separated from him for years, was induced by her daughter to visit and help care for the old poet. He recovered slowly, but it was only within the last two months, that he was able to walk about unalued. One of his last visitors was Mrs. Langley, who went up to his home and revived recollections of, Miller's great vogue in London twenty-five years ago. Student Robbed the Dead. The mysterious robberies at the county morgue at Pittsburgh, Pa., were explained when Earl Wolfe, aged twenty years, a student, confessed to Coroner Jamison that he had been robbing the dead. Wolfe is a student working his way through the University of Pittsburgh. He has been given extra work at the morgue. He told Coroner Jamison he took the money to aid him in getting an education, but that his conscience has made it impossible for him to sleep. Wolfe says that when the morgue attaches were preparing a body for the mortuary he would go through the clothes taken from the corpse. He says he got $143 and a solid gold watch from the pockets of Joseph Van Gorder, a Troy, N. Y., salesman, who was killed on Jan. 23. Gicoling Girls Jailed. Miss Rose Beattie, seventeen years of age, and Mrs. Florence Aspine, nineteen years old, are in the county jail at Washington, Pa., serving a twenty-day sentence for giggling. Information against them was made by Rev. Z. K. Riggs, who testified that they indulged in frivolous conversation and giggled while he conducte religious services. Robert E. Lee's Son Dead.

SEND AT ONCE TO BIBLE AND TRACT SOCIETY, 17 Hicks St., Brooklyn, N. Y. THINGS ALL-OUGHT TO KNOW As Christian Bible Students—The Sec- isfactory Proof of "Why God Permits Evil." One of the questions which comes to nearly every thinking mind today is, "Why does God permit evil?" As we look about us in the world we observe that it is filled with sorrow and trouble, sickness and pain and every trial we could enumerate, and we cannot help wondering WHY GOD ALLOWS IT. We realize that He is almighty and that He could prevent it If He wished. We read in His Word that He is more willing to do for His children than are earthly parents for thelrs, and we know how much that means; yet of tentimes it seems that those who try to do and live right have the most trouble. This question is made very clear in a book entitled, "The Divine Plan of the Ages." Every statement is backed by Scripture, and shows that while God does not sanction evil HE HAS HAD A PURPOSE IN ALLOWING SIN AND DEATH TO REIGN THESE SIX THOUSAND YEARS. This and many other subjects of deep interest to all of God's people are discussed fully and in language easy of comprehension.

Corrothers, pastor of Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church and president of the National Independent Civil and Political League, has called a "race conference," to meet at Galbraith Church in this city on Thursday, March 6, to discuss the political, industrial, economic and other phase of the race problem. It is expected that not less than five hundred delegates will be present, leading from every state in the Union which has any considerable Negro population. The day session will be largely executive, and an evening session has been provided for, which will be open to the general public. Among those who have been invited to deliver addresses are: Senator W. O. Bradley, of Kentucky, one of the race's staunch friends in Congress; Governor Phillips Lee Goldsbrigh and Senator W. P. Jackson, of Maryland; Register J. C. Napier, Recorder Henry Lincoln Johnson, Gen. A. S. Burt, Bishop Alexander Walters, Editor W. Calvin Chase and others of like prominence. for the meeting. Dr. Corrothers said: "Let it be distinctly understood that this conference is thoroughly non-partisan. Men of every shade of political belief are cordially invited to participate in the deliberations. Everybody who has anything to say worth saying will be heard respectfully. No party interest is to be served. The meeting is to be a candid, heart-to-heart survey of existing issues, with a view of determining the best attitude for the Negro to take in this crisis for his own protection and for the benefit of those who must come after him. There are evils from which we must seek protection, and it is our hope that out of the exchange of ideas will flow some suggestions that will lighten our burden and show us the true path toward racial salvation." It is the purpose of the League, as explained to your correspondent by Dr Corrothers, to establish a bureau to promote legislation in Congress and in the states, to push through measures favorable to the advancement of the Negro as a people, especially to look after the enactment and enforcement of laws calculated to protect the race in the enjoyment of its full civil and political rights, as guaranteed by the Constitution. Segregation, lynching, jim-crow cars, intermarriage of races, and the denial of accommodations in public places will be some of the questions to be discussed on March 6, at Galbraith, and made a part of the work of the bureau. A general movement toward race unity along all essential lines is aimed at by the League. Dr. Corrothers will preside and deliver a "keynote" speech that will give the country something to think about. RMS MOST REASONABLE R STREETS, N. W. H.Dabney Parties, Balls, Receptions, Etc.

Bee, alleges that in its merciless attacks upon its contemporaries it has only been true to its colors and acting in keeping with the instinct of the bee family. In this, it makes a point, that is well taken. Its references though to the prominence of our own editor in our own columns has been in line with his own achievements. The record of his experiences relates to the accomplishments of others and has embraced primarily a recital of events that are of prime importance and of special interest to the public. Where the objection is made to our doing this, we charge it to jealousy, which is a paramount feature in the habits of the prominent citizen of color. We may have been afflicted at times with this ailment, but we have striven steadily against it. Under the caption of. "And Thou Too, John," Editor W. Calvin Chase, of The Bee, says: "And now our old and distinguished friend, John Mitchell, Jr., of Richmond, Va., who is never at ease unless he is telling the people about his travels, would have the world believe that the Editor of The Bee is the most dangerous mah in the world with his pen. Now, who would, have believed that our friend would have made such a charge against us. Other people kick up a fuss and attack us, and when we throw up our arms and weapons of defense, we get the blame "Now, Brother John, when the Aye attacked us we had said nothing at all against its editors. We made no reference to them directly or indirectly. They made a vicious attack upon us without cause or provocation. In view of this should we have remained silent and allow them to rub it in? You know a bee hive and its bees never become disturbed unless some one disturbs them. The hive is often full of bees as well as honey. The honey generally remains, and the bees break house and have respect for no one's feelings. "The editor of The Bee is the most peaceful and the most gentle animal that exists if you don't disturb him in his peaceful slumbers. The Bee has no quarrels with its friends, and neither will it attack its enemies without cause." We are of the opinion that Editor Chase has made a strong plea in his own defense. We say to him like a friend once said to us after one of our editorial attacks: "Chase, you hit 'em too hard." In our present frame of mind, we are of the opinion that had The Bee responded to its traducers in milder language it would have been proof positive that Editor Chase was ill or had retired from the editorial management of the Capital's most interesting publication. A bee stings and after, when it has just stung some one else will not do much harm to the person who is next attacked by it. This accounts then for its mild reply to The Planet. In a couple of weeks it will have fully recovered and will then be ready again to meet all comers. We repeat it: The Bee is the most mercilex, vitriolic publication in dealing with its enemies of any in the country, and when we place the Boston, Mass., Guardian next in line, we mean no reflection upon the Martinburg, West Va., Pioneer press. We ought to know, for from a journalistic standpoint we are something of a "scrapper" ourselves and at one time occupied first place in this line of journalistic endeavor. KISSED AND MADE UP. (From the Providence R. J. Advance) (From the Providence R. I. Advance) We are very glad to know that after the "Bee" of Washington, D. C., had stung the "Age" of New York, that, acting upon the advice of the Advance editors, Chase and Fortune have at last kissed, shook hands and made editorially up. We are glad to know that their prospective fights have been called off and that Bishop Alexander Walters, the bone of contention, still lives. MADERO AND SAUREZ SLAIN Shot in Fight With Rescuers in Mexico City. PART OF GUARD UNDER ARREST Deposed President and Vice President Were Being Transferred From Palace to Prison When Escort Were Attacked—Official Report Says They Tried to Escape. Francisco I. Madero and Pino Suarez, the deposed president and vice president, were shot to death while a guard of rurales was taking them from the national palace to the penitentiary in Mexico City. General Huerta, the provisional president, and Francisco De La Barra, the premier, have disavowed the killing, and have informed the United States government that Madero and Suarez were killed by the bullets of their own friends in an attempt to rescue them. They say that the government profoundly deplores the occurrence and will track down and punish the murderers. United States Ambassador Wilson told your correspondent that he thoroughly believed there was a real attempt at rescue by some armed followers of Medero. He did not believe for a moment, he said, that the affair was framed up by the new government, as some intimated. He said that Senor De La Barra talked with him two days ago about a plan to remove ex-President Madero and ex-Vice President Suarez to the penitentiary for better security and comfort. Mr. Wilson said he considered this as proof of good faith on the part of the present regime. It seems that Madero and Suarez were advised of the project to transfer them to the penitentiary. They arose, dressed and entered an automobile in waiting in the courtyard of the palace. The auto had already been occupied by Major Carnedas and a force of armed rurales. The automobile immediately left for the penitentiary, followed by another automobile full of rurales. The machines had gone about two-thirds of the way to the penitentiary and were in the Colonia De La Bolso, Mexico's "Whitechapel" district, when, at the corner of Calle Le Cumberrí, five armed men, crying "Viva Madero," fired upon the guards. These men were followed by some thirty others from a side street, who also fired volleys at the two automobiles, riddling them. From what can be learned, the prisoners took advantage of this attack to attempt their escape, and they were riddled with bullets, whether or not by the rnrales or accidentally by their would-be rescuers, is not known. Two of the rescuers were killed and several others arrested. After the news of the killing of Madero and Suarez became known, Provisional President Huerta immediately sent for the newspaper men, making full and frank statement of the facts and promised to give the fullest details obtainable later, as he considered it most important to justify the government in the matter and avoid any suspicion that might arise that it was a put-up job. The widow of Madero obtained possession of his body only after Ambassador Wilson had interceded for her. Nearly prostrated from the frightful news that had come to her, she pleaded pitifully for permission to see the body. The government refused. Mr. Wilson called upon De La Barra and persuaded him to grant Senora Madero's request. General Blanquet delivered the body to Alberto Perez, Senora Madero's brother. Major Cardenas and two other officers who were in charge of the guard of rurales escorting the automobiles have been imprisoned pending an investigation by the attorney general. The following official statement of President Huerta was given out at the palace: "I called together the cabinet to report that Madero and Pino Suarez, who had been detained at the palace at the disposition of the war department, were taken to the penitentiary in accordance with a previous decision, as the result of which that establishment was placed under the charge of army officers for its better security. "When the automobile had traversed about two-thirds of the way to the penitentiary, however, they were attacked by an armed group, and the escort descended from the machines to offer resistance. Suddenly the group grew larger and the prisoners tried to escape. "An exchange of shots then took place, in which two of the attacking party were killed and two others were wounded. Both prisoners were killed. The automobiles were both badly damaged. "The president and his cabinet have resolved that the affair shall be consigned to the military judicial authorities having to do with the attempts against military prisoners, such as were Madero and Suarez, so that they may make a strict investigation with the direct intervention of the military prosecutor general. "The minister of justice has asked that when these investigations are over—the case being of so exceptional G. O. P. PLANS REJUVENATION NO REORGANIZATION SCHEME Will Change Basis and Manner of Electing Delegates, But Committee Will Not Resign. The "get together" cry that has started and has been pursued by some of the leaders of the "progressive" faction of the Republican party has had its effect, and it is practically settled in Washington that a national convention of the Republican party will be called to meet, probably next fall. But this convention will not take up the proposition to "reorganize" the party which is the demand of the progressives. No doubt a determined effort will be made by men who wandered off the reservation in the last campaign to inject a reorganization scheme into the deliberations of the convention, but if the national committee decides otherwise, which it undoubtedly will do, the reorganization or rejuvenation of the party will be left to a natural process. At this convention the subjects to be taken up will be a change of the basis of representation and, perhaps, a proposition to permit the Republicans of each state to elect delegates to national conventions in their own way, so that the choice in each state will be regulated according to the laws of the state. These are the important matters that will come before the convention. They furnish an excuse, if that be needed, for a convention that may wind up in a harmony meeting that will solidify the great majority of Progressives and Republicans. Senator Dixon, of Montana, national chairman of the Progressive party; Senators Bristow, of Kanas; Clapp, of Minnesota, and Polindexter, of Washington, will not, they say, enter into any agreement that does not comprehend the complete capitulation of the Republican organization. These men will consider no other suggestion They want to absorb the old party and enlist its members under the standard of the new Progressive party, with Colonel Roosevelt at its head. It was Senator Cummines who first proposed a national convention, and his proposition was scoffed at by many men in the regular organization, who declared that no reorganization was necessary. They hold the same view today, but they believe that if a convention were called for the purpose outlined by Senator Root—namely a change in the basis of representation and a change in the method of selecting delegates that will give each state the privilege of selecting delegates in its own way—it would afford an opportunity for leaders of both factions to get together and "make up." In short, they are willing to meet the Progressives half way. They will consent to a convention, but not to a reorganization. Reorganization, these men contend, must come by a natural process from within the party. It must start among the smaller units—the township, county and state organizations—and in a natural and gradual movement it will reach the national organization. BRUTAL WIFE MURDER Shocking Tragedy Witnessed Only by Three Children of Pair. At "Turkey Run," on the outskirts of Shenandoah, Pa., Mrs. John Semonowicz, thirty years old and mother of three children, was beaten and then choked to death, it is alleged, by her husband. It is said that he afterward carried the body some distance and threw it into a mine breach. The almost nude body of the murdered woman was discovered in the breach by searching parties. The police, after a hasty investigation, placed the dead woman's husband, John Semonowicz, under arrest, and he is in the lockup, charged with the murder. The only witnesses of the crime were the three sons of Semenowicz aged respectively seven, four and two years. Neighbors say that Semenowicz was an overbearing, brutal husband, but that his wife was thrifty and made an excellent helpmate. SECOND G. W. TIES UP TOWN Fells Tree With Little Hatchet and Breaks All Electric Wires. "I can't tell you a lie, papa. I did it and with this little Boy Scout hatch et." This was the explanation given by Timothy Butler, eleven years old, of Plantville, near New Britain Conn, when he was asked by his father to explain the felling of a tree that put every electric light, telephone and trolley car in town out of commission. The lad was emulating George Washington, and when he felled a maplе tree service wires were carried to the ground with it. Willis Webb, colored, was lynched by members of his own race on a plantation in a remote section of Sun flower county, near Drew, Miss., after he shot and killed two colored women and two men. L. C.

BISHOP WALTERS Fails to Land His Man For Steward at the White House. War Between Walters and Wood's Faction Intensified by Ousting of Ralph Langston. (Special to The Bee) NEW YORK, Feb. 18—Considerable criticism is being indulged in here against Bishop Walters for endorsing Mr. Underdown, of Washington, for steward at the White House. New Yorkers claim that the Bishop's first duty is home, and that New York is his home. It is said that members of what is styled the Wood's faction are using the argument against the bishop that he is wasting his ammunition on little birds, and fighting for Negro Democrats of Washington instead of those here. The rumor is here that the Bishop strongly recommended Mr. Underdown for steward at the White House, and that the President-elect advised the Bishop that he could not appoint his man. It is certain, according to the best information, that Mr. Underdown will not be steward at the White House and that the Bishop cannot name the man to be. Bishop Walters' critics are also averring that it was a mistake for him to start in making a light for small unimportant positions before tackling the larger ones. The getting of Ralph Langston's scalp by the Wood's faction has served to intensify the fight between the two factions of Negro Democrats. Langston was presumed to be a friend of and worker with the Bishop. The Wood's crowd went after him and succeeded in causing him to lose his political sinecure. Now the fight is on in earnest, the Walters' faction threatening reprisals. The proposed compromise and harmony agreement between the two factions appear farther away than ever now. Wood and his followers state that they will keep Bishop from exercising any influence with the new administration, and they figure on Rev. Waldron and others at Washington to harrass him in Washington while they here built a back fire under him. And the fight goes on. L. C. MOORE RESIGNED. Exchange of Men. At a meeting of the colored Democratic League held at its headquarters this week, Rev L. C. Moore resigned and joined the Independent Political League. A few weeks ago Rev Moore declared against the league of which Rev. Waldron is president, and gave The Bee some damaging matter against the organization and its leader. The Bee doesn't understand why there should be such change of front. Attorney Fountain Peyton tendered his resignation to the Waldron Independent League and joined the Walters organization. The Walters organization claims the brain and following. The simon pure supporters of the Democratic party are in the Walters organization. Bishop Alexander Walters will reside in the District of Columbia where he will make his home. The Typewriter without a Speed Limit & BROS.

Editor's Note—Our recent editorial on "The Negro's Chance to Work is appropriately followed by Mr. Stemon's article, which gives additional facts with reference to industrial discrimination against colored people. Mr. Stemons is field secretary of the joint organization to which he refers, with headquarters at 1251 South 18th Street, Philadelphia. He is a colored man of ability who has the commendations and confidence of prominent clergy of various denominations in his city. His work is a move in the right direction. (From the Congregational and Christian World.) There is scarcely a section of the country in which it is not becoming more and more difficult for Negroes to earn an honest living. In defiance of the widely heralded and universally accepted fact that Negroes, through various systems of education and training, are, rapidly advancing in character, reliability and efficiency, they are being systematically displaced from the branches of labor formerly open to them, while no corresponding branches of labor are being opened to them. For example, during the past several months at least four of the larger hostelries of Philadelphia, which, in the main, had never before employed other than Negro servitors, have dismissed them in favor of white help; while other establishments, not only in Philadelphia but throughout the country, widely advertise the fact that they employ none but white help. In August, 1911, an association of hotel proprietors of New York adopted a resolution that no hotel which employs Negro help shall be rated as first class, and following that action there was a veritable scramble among the hotel proprietors of that city—some of whom had employed Negroes continuously and with admitted satisfaction for more than thirty years—to substitute white help, as the price which they were willing to pay for being rated as first class. Three years ago the hotel proprietors of Providence, R-1, united in displacing Negro with white help. Atlantic City, St. Joseph, Mo., Portland, Ore., Chicago and one city after another are rapidly falling in line with this movement to do away with Negroes as hotel and personal servants, while the broader avenues of labor in the North, such as shops, mills, foundries, factories, steam and street railways, mercantile and business houses, already exclude them. One of the most desirable openings for Negroes has been that of automobile driving, mostly for private families. But a wide-spread movement is now on foot to exclude them from this occupation. In New York, for example, at the helmet of white automobile drivers, white garage owners are stubbornly refusing to stable automobiles which are manned by Negro drivers. Many automobile owners, rather than engage in controversies, have substituted white for Negro drivers. Injustice and Folly in Georgia. In discussing this very feature, Ex-Governor W. J. Northen of Georgia recently said, in an address on "Christianity and the Negro Problem in Georgia" before the Evangelical Ministers' Association of Atlanta: "Walton County farmers have been notified that they will be allowed to keep their Negro labor for the gathering of their present crops, but that they must hire no Negroes for another year. Vagrancy is one of the most dangerous tendencies of the times. Vagrancy is the breeder of crime. What will we do when one million Negroes in Georgia are driven into enforced idleness and loitering and are denied the opportunity to make an honest living in legitimate service? Such conditions will multiply criminals beyond our power to punish or our inclination to reclaim." It may be recalled that the legislature of Georgia, in response to the furious strike against Negro firemen on the Georgia Railroad, in the year 1908, has seriously considered a bill to prohibit the employment of Negroes in any capacity on the railroads of that State. The entire system of the Cincinnati Southern Railroad was paralyzed by a fierce and bloody strike of white firemen in the spring of 1911, instituted for the deliberate and boldly announced purpose of forcing that railway system to dispense with Negro firemen. This strike had scarcely been settled when firemen on the Southern Railroad of Georgia threatened to strike unless certain of their extreme demands against Negro firemen were acceded to. The company was finally forced to yield, according to a state- ment issued by the chairman of the committee of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen, by agreeing to limit the number of Negro firemen to a certain percentage of white firemen, which provision, it was said, would result in greatly reducing the number of Negroes on all divisions. It was further stipulated that the white men should receive a flat increase of ten per cent, in wages. Their wages formerly were twenty per cent more than those of Negroes. Thus they are paid thirty per cent, more than is received by Negroes for identical service, performed with equal satisfaction to the employing company. The legislature of Oklahoma has seriously considered a bill to prohibit the employment of Negroes as hotel waiters, Pullman car porters, or in any other capacity which would throw them into close personal contact with the white people of that state. The Twofold Cause. These are but few of the many mistakable evidences of an almost nation-wide movement to search from Negroes the imperative and fundamental right of working to earn an honest living. The deep-seated cause is twofold. One is traceable to the white race; the other to the black race. With the white race it is willful misrepresentation and anneals to the basest passions on the part of a conspicuous element—newspaper editors, popular writers, strife-breeding and self-seeking politicians, and even a type of ministers of the gospel—who are in a position to influence and inflame popular opinion. With the colored race it is the notoriety which is being attained by the basest and most criminal elements among them; to the undisputed sway of a relatively small, but obnoxiously conspicuous type who seem to be lost to every sense of moral responsibility and social restraint. In short, the entire reactionary movement is due to the fact that the most perverse elements of both races have usurped public attention, and are corrupting and confusing and distorting the mind of the entire nation. The remedy? Remove the cause The self-respecting Negroes of the country must suppress and repudiate the base and criminal elements among them. Negroes will have done their full duty when they prove to the world that they mean to constrain their race to conform to high standards of civic duty and public department. The white race must then be appealed to through their churches clergy and other exponents of social justice, to do their duty by giving Negroes an opportunity to make them selves useful men and upright citizens, the same opportunity to earn an honest living that they extend to other citizens and to the millions of aliens who are flooding our shores. The joint organization of the Association for Equalizing Industrial Opportunities and the League of Civic and Political Reform, though new as an organization, representing the crystallized medium through, which an effort is being made to put both of these remedies into immediate and practical operation. The essence of the plans and purposes of the League of Civic and Political Reform is contained in a pledge "to exert my influence to suppress political crookedness, rowdyism and public indecency on the part of an element of colored people;" and which concludes "with the proviso that the influence and activities of this League shall ever be confined to the ends here specified, and not used to serve the abstract political ambitions of any race, any party or any individual." The mission of the Association for Equalizing Industrial Opportunities is to be prosecuted by appealing directly to every pastor, white and colored, and through him to every church, and through these agencies to all right-thinking persons for their combined influence in procuring for all men, regardless of race or color, unrestricted opportunities for working to earn an honest living. It is also the plan to have in every community a committee of representative citizens whose duty will be to confer directly with proprietors and employers of specified industrial establishments regarding a recognition, of colored labor on the same bases that apply to other classes of labor. Realizing that a vast amount of the prejudice against Negro labor is due to a frequent lack of efficiency and reliability on the part of such labor, this Association also seeks to elevate the standard of Negro labor by discouraging the recognition of any Negro who is not deemed in every way worthy of the position for which he or she aspires.

CORROTHERS, Strong Advocate of Bishop Alexander Walters. THE PRIME FACTOR IN RACE DEVELOPMENT. Declaring earnestly for race pride, race unity and the integrity of the home circle as essential elements in the progress of a people, Dr. S. L. Corrothers, pastor of Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church, 6th Street near L. delivered an unusually eloquent and practical sermon last Sunday morning on "The Most Important Factor in Race Development." A very large audience was present and at the climax of the argument there were many demonstrations of approval of the words of wisdom spoken by the eminent, preacher. Taking a text from Ecclesiastes, Dr. Corrothers carefully outlined the relations of the minister and the teacher and the church to the people, and well sustained his contention that the preacher has been throughout all history the teacher and acknowledged leader, and the church the school which spreads wisdom and garners the fruit unto mankind. In the nature of things, the preacher is the most important man in any community, because he bears the message of the Divinity. "Race building is a science," said Dr. Corrothers, "and the structure must go on correct lines, or it will fall. Build the family first. Pure family life is the first requisite to a civilized government. We should strive for pure types in the family circle. Mongrel or mixed races tend to produce confusion, chaos and lack the cohesion necessary to construct strong and enduring nations. The family must be a unit or there will be trouble. I am opposed to the intermarriage of the white and colored races, because such alliances tend to disorganize and destroy the unity of the family tie. There can be no family pride where the elements are of antagonistic clans. The Negro race is yet in the making, and we shall never have a virile, stable reliable and constructive race until family pride is established as its corner-stone. The truth may be unwelcome, but it is nevertheless a truth, that the Negro race, as at present constituted, is little more than a scattered mob." "It is a pititable fact," continued Dr. Corrothers, "that some of our men who have received the highest honors because of their supposed representative character and capacity to help their people upward, become ashamed of their fellows as soon as the door of hope is opened to them. They try to get away from the race with which God Almighty has identified them. The truly representative Negro must be proud of the history his race is making and must make some sacrifices to encourage and bring forward those whom circumstances have kept in the valley, and the shadow. The Negro race is regarded by the Caucasian as an entity and treat it as such. We must rise together or we shall fall together. If a law forbidding Intermarriage is necessary to keep us together and unify our discordant elements, I do not care if Congress does pass such a law. Our women are as good as those found in any other race, and I am proud of them—satisfied with them." Dr. Corrothers then launched into a sturdy denunciation of the "barbershop argument" nuisance, where the reputation of men and women are too often torn to tatters and where more "devilment" is hatched than anywhere else on earth. He was particularly severe on Negro men who make a practice of "running down" the reputation of well-intentioned women of the race. Said he "Race pride is the Negro's only salvation. Without it the Negro will be crushed to atoms. He will be 'jim-crowed:' he will be denied the ballot and the protection of the courts; his schools will be broken up; his heartstone will become a hollow mockery and an altar of shame. The Negro must wake up and become a part of the civilization in which he must live. The preacher who is wise is telling him less of white robes and golden slippers above, and urging him to be industrious, thrifty and sober, while here on earth. He is saying little about mansions in the skies, and much about saving money and investing it in helpful business enterprises, to open places of employment to his children who have been educated in the public schools and colleges. God blesses the Negro who merits that blessing by helping his people upward and onward. Dr. Corrothers scorned the notion that the white man is "keeping the Negro back," when he advises colored people to develop their own enterprises—to attend their own churches, to patronize their own stores, restaurants, and amusements, and to build up their own family circle from their own blood and kindred. The colored people will never be a factor in the world of commerce and business until they imitate the policy of other races that have grown strong—to go out of their way to spend their money with shopkeepers of their own race and enable them eventually to broaden the scope of that business into something of a common benefit. In industry, trade, agriculture and personal service of many kinds there is little or no color prejudice. The Negro must get his share of this work, or the aggressive and far-seeing foreigner will drive him out of these pursuits and starve him to death here in a land of plenty. Vigorously denouncing racial tendency to exalt the frivolities—fiddling, like Nero, while Rome was burning—and counseling the driving out of town of every man who will not try to work and earn an honest living. Dr. Corrothers concluded his intensely practical and timely discourse with an injunction to the race to "unite on everything and build up in every avenue of productive activity." To him, he said this kind of preaching is the gospel as Christ would have it preached, and that this would be the first of a series of sermons dealing with the problems that enter into the daily life of his struggling people. FREDERICK C. DICKERSON. Well Known Boston Man of Social and Business Standing, Buried at Newport, R. I.—Services Held at His Boston Home and at Newport, His Mother's Home—Will Be Sadly Missed. Mr Frederick C. Dickerson, well known in social circles in the East, and perhaps the only colored sign painter in business in Boston, died at home, 20 Leroy Street, Dorchester, on Monday, January 27, after an illness of several months from heart trouble. Funeral services were held at the home Wednesday morning at 9 a.m. conducted by Father Blunt, rector of All Saints Church, Dorchester, who had been his spiritual counselor through the painful illness. The pallbearers were Messrs. Walter Sampson, Chas. L. Smith, E. E. Brown, Lyde W. Benjamine, Geo. W. Freeman and Geo. Glover. There were many beautiful floral tributes from friends in Newport, New Bedford, New York and Philadelphia and Boston. The burial was at Newport, R. I., at 4 o'clock. Services were held in Belmont Memorial chapel. The interment was in Ireland cemetery. Messrs. U. A. Ridley, W. W. Sampson and L. W. Benjamine served as pallbearers at Newport, R. I. Frederick C. Dickerson was born in Newport, R. I., and was the son of the late Silas Dickerson and Mary Dickerson. For many years he made his home in New Bedford, where he was engaged in the fruit business. Later he was employed in the departments in Washington. For about 15 years he has been a resident of Boston. He leaves a wife, who was a Miss K. Smith of Brooklyn, N. Y., and his mother, Mrs. Mary Dickerson, of Newport, R. I., and many friends to whom he had endeared himself by his loyalty and gentlemanly manner. He was one who was always jovial. He was of a retiring disposition, but he always stood with those who took a radical position against color prejudice—Exchange. NEGRO LEGISLATOR Dies at Cleveland, Ohio. Special to The Bee. Special to The Times Cleveland, O.-H. E. Eubanks, former member of the Ohio Legislature, died here at the hospital last Wednesday.
