Brown, assisted by Mrs. Mary Morris Wright, Mrs. M. Mitchell, Mrs. Jennie Watson, Mrs. Powers and Mrs. Gee welcomed the delegates. Tuesday afternoon the Executive Board was called to order by Mrs. Mary Talbert, the chairman, and the minutes of the meeting held in Philadelphia in August, 1913, were read and approved. The motion that the heads of departments be given a vote as well as a voice in all executive meetings was carried.

A. by Miss Eva Bowles, of New York, giving useful information on organization. The first motive must be the right spirit of Christianity exemplified by personal evangelism. Not by might nor by power but by my spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts. Vocal solo, Mrs. Ophelia Rodgers, of Xenia O., an address by Mrs. C. S. Smith, of Detroit, Mich., subject. The Development of the Club Ideal. During the middle ages the equality of woman was recognized and during the present ages the rights of women are being given them. The work of clubs in helping the aged, educating children, teaching better ways of living, beautifying homes and back yards. Miss E. C. Carter, of New Bedford, Mass., spoke for the Association for the advancement of colored women. Mrs. G. W. Haynes, of Nashville, spoke on the subject of the Urban League and the Big Sister and Big Brother movements, meeting boats and trains, bringing in country youths and girls. Henry Allen Boyd, of the National Baptist Association of Nashville, Tenn., presented the Association with a beautiful colored doll. Miss Anna Jones, of Kansas City, Mo., read a paper on Negro in Literature which showed much thought and research giving statistics and other knowledge not heretofore compiled from Puskin in Russia to Paul Lawrence Dunbar in America. These publications consisted of twenty-two hundred books on various subjects. The "Peculi Mission of the Southern Negro Club Women" was well handled by Mrs. Charlotte Brown of North Carolina. Wednesday evening the president, Mrs. Washington, introduced Prof. Scarborough, of Wilberforce, who his brief speech told of the difficulties overcome on account of the convention following immediately the summer school and made the delegates feel thoroughly welcome. Mrs. Minnie Scott, of Lima, O., delivered the welcome address, which was a model of English composition and lyric poetry. This was answered by Miss Elizabeth C. Carter, past president of N. A. C. W., who in her usual elegant style spoke for the delegates and paid a beautiful tribute to the hospitality of the Neighborhood Club, the Wilberforce faculty, and our dearly beloved Miss Hallie Q. Brown. An instrumental solo was played by Miss Sarah, May Talbert, of Buffalo, N. V. Mrs. Washington then introduced Mrs. Shears, of the Douglass Centre Club, of Chicago, who after brief remarks introduced the renowned story writer, Miss Zona Gale, of Wisconsin, who advocated Social Centre work as portrayed by the Social Centre magazine. She advocates the opening of public school houses to the public every evening in the week. There are now more than one thousand schools in the United States open in this manner. Club women can interest their people in their home towns to have their schools opened for Social Settlement work. Mrs. M. J. Dunbar, mother of Paul Lawrence Dunbar was introduced and told of the struggle for existence during Paul's childhood. Miss Hallee Q. Brown organized the Paul Lawrence Dunbar Association to erect a suitable monument to Mr. Dunbar, to maintain his former home and to properly care for his estimable mother. Membership fee two dollars ($2.00). Thursday morning devotional exercises by Mrs. William Alphin and Mrs. E. L. Davis. The reading of the minutes of the previous day's work were read and approved. The credential committee reported and the report of clubs were read from the various States which showed wonderful progress in work of all branches, especially in raising money to build orphanages and old folk homes, protection of children, rescue work among adults, prophylactic teaching and hygienic arrangements of homes; beautifying backyards and cleaning alleys; disposal of garbage; prevention of disease and betterment of humanity. In the Kindergarten and Art Department under the direction of Mrs. C. W. Posey, of Pittsburg, embroidery, china painting and other artistic work. Especially worthy of commendation was the work of Mrs. Margaret Anderson, of Chicago, Ill., whose work in conventional design and original decoration show her to be a born artist. The work of Mrs. Nora Lee, of Chicago, showed a great variety of china decoration with a knowledge of contrast and development of color schemes. The work in drawing of Miss Victorial Kemp, daughter of the late Mrs. Jenne Kemp, of Minneapolis, Minn., founder of the Minneapolis Federation, which has been published in the Minneapolis Journal and used to illustrate stories in the several monthly magazines won much praise. Beautiful quilts were exhibited by the Tuesday Art Club of Covington, Ky. Others made by Mrs. Frances J. Brown, of Wilberforce, O., Mrs. Belle Delany, of Washington, D. C. Miss Alice Crutcher, of Louisville, Ky., and Mrs. Etta Turner, Richmond, Ky., embroidery work by Mrs. C. C. Harris, Galveston, Texas, Mrs. Alex.

There have been three hundred and seventy-six clubs enrolled and five hundred delegates present. Mrs. Mary E. Taibert, chairman of the Executive Board gave a report of the work for the last two years, during which time she has written fifteen hundred letters, and has diffused enthusiasm throughout the United States. At her call an executive session was held at Philadelphia in August, 1913, at which time the constitution was revised and amendments submitted to be voted upon at the sessions in 1914. Much of the enthusiasm of the present session is due to her work of the past two years. Mrs. Margaret Washington, the national president, has visited many states and lent inspiration by her presence to the clubs, and progress of the movement of women's clubs is shown by the large delegation present at Wilberforce. Mrs. Ida Joyce Jackson, Columbus, Ohio, reported more than one thousand dollars paid in as club dues, and spoke of the influence of the N. A. C. W. meetings of the clubs in the vicinity of the convention. Mrs. E. L. Davis, of Chicago, Ill., national organizer, reported one hundred seven clubs to the national. She has traveled from Illinois to Texas and from New York to Colorado; she has organized federations in several states and has spread the club spirit among women wherever she has been. Mrs. Mary V. Parrish, the statistician, has prepared a statistical report, showing the membership, motive, and financial standing of three hundred and seventy-six clubs, covering branches of work from child welfare to cleaning garbage cans. Mrs. Mary Talbert presented the convention with a gavel on behalf of Mrs. McCoy at Detroit, Mich. The wood for this gavel was cut from a cherry tree at John.Brown's home by his granddaughter. Said gavel is to be the property of the N. A. C. W. Mrs. Ida Cummings, of Baltimore, Md., as corresponding secretary, has kept the clubs informed of all vital questions, answered all inquiries, written seven hundred letters and kept up the interest in club work for the past four years. Thursday evening the meeting was opened at 8 o'clock by Mrs. Washington, the president, after devotional exercises. Mrs. Nellie Frances, of St. Paul, Minn., read a paper on "The Problem of the Negro Home," in which she dealt with the tendencies of the modern home life, dangers that threaten it, pleasures that exist within its confines, arguing that through reverence through Negro wives and mothers for the race may rise to heights yet undreamed of: Her paper was well delivered and received much applause. The next paper, by Dr. S. Maria Stewart, of Ohio, on the subject of "Women and Medicine," showed great research. Mr. Richard B. Harrison, the well known locutionist, read a selection in his own inimitable way. Mrs. Warren Logan, of Alabama, introduced Mrs. Harriet Upton, of Warren, Ohio, who spoke on the subject of "Woman Suffrage." Among other things, she propounded the conundrum, "Why is the colored race so much like woman suffrage? Answer, "Because their greatest enemy is prejudice." She told of the effort of Ohio women to having an amendment passed at the constitutional convention to have the words "white males" stricken from the constitution. The failure was caused by colored men compromising with white politicians. All women are asked to use their efforts to have the words "white male" stricken from the constitution of Ohio next November. Woman's suffrage means the putting of the woman heart, woman thought, and woman hand into the government. The convention was greatly benefited by her speech. Miss Pearl Mitchell rendered two songs from Negro composers. This was followed by reading of Dunbar poems by Mr. Richard B. Harrison. Miss Cordelia Brown introduced with remarks of meritorious praise our president, Mrs. Margaret Washington, of Tuskegee, Alabama, who delivered her annual address. This dealt with the subject of woman's suffrage, the awful condition of the cars furnished colored people who must travel in states where separate coaches are lawful; the need of park systems and play grounds, the benefit of vocational education, the removal of vice and vicious environment from colored districts. In all our plans to seek the co-operation of all the women of all our races, let there be greater opportunity for the problem of the races together that they may solve the Negro problem only, but also the human problem. This was followed by a vocal solo by Miss M. Mathinson. Mr. Torrence, of Xenia, who has written several plays showing the American position of the Negro and portraying him in his best light, was introduced to the audience. Friday morning meeting opened by songs and prayer. The president proceeded with reading of reports of clubs which are really the purpose of the convention. By these reports many errors in work are corrected, better plans for future work are made and inspiration is given to the visiting delegates. Vocal solo was rendered by Marie Barrier, a song bird by nature. Mrs. Addie N. Dickerson, of Pennsylvania, read a paper on the status of Negro women in America, which showed the vicissitudes through which Negro women have passed, and gave statistics showing the achievements of women. Miss Manie E. Jones, of Baltimore. Md., read a paper on the subject of "Woman's Influence on Moral Education." The Illinois delegation made a report on the defeat of the bills on the last Legislature on Jim Crow cars, intermarriage and the Full Crew bill in reference to railroads. The exposition for showing the achievements in the last fifty years, which is to be held at Chicago, in 1915, was also asked the co-operation of all the women of America. NEW FORM OF RACE ATTACK. Southern Editor Advocates Farm Ségregation. Senator Tillman's reply to Colonel Roosevelt's "open door of hope and opportunity," in which he cautioned the Colonel to remember that every such door open to a colored man was a door closed to a white ope, has not been without its evil consequences. Clarence Poe, editor of the Progressive Farmer, is out in a sinister appeal for "Rural Land Segregation Between Whites and Negroes." His article is ably answered by Mr. Gilbert T. Stephenson, author of "Race Distinctions in American Law." The reply appears in the April issue of the South Atlantic Quarterly, which is the forum for the sociological questions of the South. Editor Poe shows his real intent in the June issue of the Quarterly in which he states that he is out of patience with so much discussion of "Hindrances to Negro Progress" and wants more attention to the Negro hindrance to the progress of the white man. He confesses the increase in farm ownership, by colored men throughout the South, but bases it upon the lower standards of living of a race nearer savagery than the whites. He claims friendship and sympathy for the Negro, but urges his plan as favoring the more favorable advancement of the poor white man, who must compete with a race with fewer needs for food, shelter and comforts such as he claims the poor white man must have, and in the supply of which he fails to earn and save enough to acquire land. He says also that the poor whites' social life is menaced by the presence of Negroes. Articles like this one show the extremity to which race issues are coming in this country, and it behooves our educators and leaders to get on the firing line. The Bee knows that Chas. M. Thomas, of the Washington Normal School, is constantly on the outlook for such insidious attacks as these, ready to show up their wickedness and fallacy, and to encourage and thank the race's friends for their labors in our behalf. Personal letters addressed to those who aid us as well as to those who attack us, can do much to prove our worthiness to be helped. Men and women' inside and out of the N. A. A. C. P., who have reached any height above the masses, can maintain their own posts only by standing against the common enemy. The Bee is always on the firing line. Support it.

Paul Revere was one of the earliest engravers in America. "The Boston Massacre," one of his works, sold for $500. The portrait of the Indian King Philip was another engraving. According to Dr. A. J. Slan, of Omaha, tuberculosis is decimating the tribes of American Indians in all parts of the West. Twenty-five thousand Indians in the United States are suffering from that "dread disease." --- County Road Supervisor Sceymour Pullis, of Milton, N. J., has had trouble with prisoners who refused to work because it was too hot. When a gang of prisoners the other day refused to work, the supervisor had the obstinate ones chained to a steam roller, and compelled them to keep walking behind the cumbersome machine. Some of them begged to be put back at their old work, after plodding along behind the steam roller several hours. Yet other sullenly refused to give in. Civil Engineer F. T. Moore, president of a scientific society of Winsted, Conn., reports an unusual find in the woods of Barkhamsted, where he felled a tree containing three species in one. The butt of the tree was oak, the middle chestnut, and the top hemlock. Mr. Moore is a church member. The progressive colored bankers of the Prudential Savings Bank of Birmingham have recently installed a new system of keeping their books and records.

Pastor F. Farley Cook, of Detroit, Mich., to give a lecture at the Howard Theater Sunday, August 16, at 3 P. M.; subject, "Judgment Day Records." No collection. What They are Confronted With—Changes That Are Necessary in the Normal and Other Schools. Assistant Superintendent R. C. Bruce will find before the opening of the school year the necessity of making several changes in certain branches of his system. In Normal School No. 2 and Normal Kindergarten No. 2, the greatest insubordination exists in both schools. Not only is it necessary to make several transfers in both schools, but the system of rating should be radically changed. The last report from both schools showed errors and dissatisfaction. What will the superintendent do about this gross discrepancy. Take the one of Miss Hershaw, where she was cut from 40 to 50 marks, which would have made her graduate in rank 6 or 7. Miss Bula Scott, who is said to be one of the best pupils in Normal No. 2, was informed that she would graduate in group ten, but when the official report was made she found class rank 17. Long before the ratings were announced certain persons connected with the schools saw the standing of Miss Scott, and she was informed that her class rank was 8. It was three weeks before the official report was made, and The Bee's informant was certain that Miss Scott stood in group ten and her class rank was 8. Who changed it? Why was her class rank changed? Never in the history of the Normal School has there been so much dissatisfaction. Then, when certain records are asked for, it is claimed that they could not be found or they were destroyed. The investigation of the entire class will, no doubt take place next month. There never was such a mix-up and confusion in the colored schools. The O Street Vocational School is in a similar predicament. Old and experienced teachers marked down in their rank, while recently appointed teachers, who have never graduated from the colored schools are marked E, by a principal who knows absolutely nothing about the trades that are being taught in this school and who is now attending school in New York to qualify himself in the branches that are being taught in this school. Will it be possible for the typewriter principal to learn dressmaking: printing, carpentry and domestic science in two months that have taken others several years to learn? The free asks this question: Is it not an imposition on the parents of children? These are the conditions that exist, which Mr. Bruce will be forced to correct. Food From the Cotton Field Grain crops and cattle crops are our main sources of food, and cotton crops for clothing, but there is also a great potential food supply in the cotton crop if we but understood how to unlock it. According to a recent monograph by Erwin W. Thompson, commercial agent of the Department of Commerce, European nations are finding out very rapidly how to make food of our cotton seed oil. France, Italy, and other southern nations have always considered oil an essential article of diet. Olive oil is their native supply, but they have now learned the economy of exporting their olive oil at high prices and importing in its place American cottonseed oil, which is lower in price, but not lower in nutritive value. Germany, the Netherlands, and other northern countries, like ourselves, are not fond of eating pure oil, but need more butter than the cattle can produce, so they resort to artificial butter and have developed it to a high degree of palatability. The surprising statement is made that the principal countries of northern Europe are now making artificial butter ("margarin" they call it) to the extent of 580,000 tons per year, and the significant part of the story is that in 1913 they used as an ingredient over 300,000 barrels of cottonseed oil from America, and are planning for an increase in 1914. By the recently discovered process of solidifying liquid oils, cottonseed oil is now beginning to compete with hard cocoanut oil, which sells at even higher prices than olive oil, and is becoming very popular as an-ingredient of artificial butter. Cottonseed oil has exactly ten times the nutritive value of beefsteak and costs only half as much. As the United States makes each year over three million barrels of refined cottonseed oil, it is worth while to study the various methods of making it acceptable as food. Much valuable information concerning such foodstuffs is to be found in Commercial Agent Thompson's monograph, which is entitled "Cottonseed Products and their Competitors in Northern Europe. Part II, Edible Oils." (Part I dealt with cottonseed cake and meal.) It may be obtained at 5 cents a copy from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. The Czar of Russia has a newspaper all his own. It is printed each morning for the emperor of all the Russias and his secretary. The official paper is the most exclusive newspaper in the world. It is strictly limited in its circulation to the two copies printed. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE ARRANGEMENTS ARE COMPLETE—THE PROGRAM IN THE PRESS.

These gentlemen will be pleased to hear from any persons intending to be present who live in their immediate sections. Special Features The Muskogee Negro Business League and the Oklahoma State Negro Business League are working with might and main to have the Muskogee meeting surpass any previous meeting of the National organization. It has been-provided for the daily sessions to be held at Convention Hall, Second Street, in the heart of the city of Muskogee. The convention headquarters are centrally located, being not more than three minutes' walk from five of the leading railway stations of the city, viz.: Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma; Missouri, Oklahoma and Gulf; Iron Mountain, Midland Valley and Frisco Railway stations. Muskogee, Oklahoma, is a beautiful city of 30,000 population, 9,800 of whom are Negroes. Muskogee has sixty-three miles of street paving, and thirty-one miles of street railway. It is on the main line of the great Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway, only one night's ride from Kansas City, and one's night ride from Dallas, Texas. A special train has been chartered by the Oklahoma State and the Muskogee Local Negro Business League, for the purpose of visiting Boley, Oklahoma, the largest Negro city in the United States, leaving Muskogee Saturday morning, August 22, at 7:30 o'clock. The train will pass through some of the richest land in the world, not only adapted to all classes of agricultural products, but underlaid with inexhaustible mines of valuable coal and the most extensive oil fields in the world; much of this valuable land is owned by Negroes. The officers of the National Organization propose at Muskogee, if possible, to increase the Endowment Fund of the League to ten thousand dollars, the interest of which is to be used in paying a portion of the annual expenses of the national organizer, whose time is wholly devoted to organizing and strengthening local leagues. There are now some 600 local leagues and it is desired to double this number within the next year. Further information as to the general arrangements for the Muskogee meeting, if desired, may be secured from Emmett J. Scott, Secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. GO TO THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE IN MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA, AUGUST 19, 20, 21, 22, 1914. Isaac Fisher, Famous Prize Writer in National and International Essay Contests, Winner of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Prize for "The Ten Best Reasons Why People Should Go to Missouri," Writes Ten Reasons Why Colored People Should Attend the National Business League of Negroes at Muskogee, Oklahoma. Over and above other arguments which come easily to my mind, the following ten reasons why colored people should attend the Business League at Muskogee seem to me very persuading: 1. Because the Business League of Negroes which meets there has grown to be the greatest and most accurate clearing house and bureau of information relative to the material progress of the Negro that exists anywhere. If you want to know what the Negro is doing in real "Big Business," you have to get the facts from the National Negro Business League. Even the United Census Bureau have not the facts about the Negro's wealth. 2. The National Negro Business League is the great business university of the race. Every Negro in business and those who plan to enter it should see this university in session and learn the secrets of business success from colored men and women in many commercial pursuits who have already succeeded, have "delivered the goods," are still delivering them, and doing more business every 3. Because the trip will mean inspiration and encouragement. The largest number of successful colored business men and women ever brought together on North American soil will assemble at Muskogee to tell their stories of strivings and success. To see and hear these Negroes—these people who, but fifty years, removed from slavery, today, nevertheless, count their wealth in millions of dollars—will gladden the heart and encourage the race. Success is stimulating and contagious. It would be a God-send if every colored family carried their children to Muskogee to let them see what the race is doing and let them witness one of the bright promises of the better day coming for the race. 4. To see the swiftly vanishing Indians—"The Red Men of the Plains"—many of whose ancestors owned Negro slaves; and to compare the progress of the American Indian with that of the American Negro. Muskogee was the chief town of the Creek Nation and was the headquarters of the United States Agency to the Five Civilized Tribes—the Creeks, Cherokees, Choctaws, Chickasaws and the Seminoles. The United States Government spends ten million dollars every year to educate, support, feed, clothe and further aid many of its Indian wards. It guards their health, legislates to improve their morals, appropriates money to encourage them to habits of thrift and industry and acts as their general guardian. The Negro has not had this aid and does not receive it now, excepting a small sum spent on the "Land Grant Colleges." Go and see for yourself whether the colored man is keeping up with his red brother. 5. To see Negroes govern a city and do it properly. A special train is to be run from Muskogee to Boeyle, the largest Negro town in the United States. Go and see for yourself what the race can do in practical government. 6. To see that Southern State where only 17.7 per cent of the colored people are illiterate, and which, with the exception of the District of Columbia, has the lowest percentage of illiteracy of the seventeen South Atlantic, East South Central and West South Central States, including Delaware, Maryland and the District of Columbia, Oklahoma, because of her good schools, has 5.6 per cent only of her population illiterate. 7. To look out for new business prospects, Oklahoma is a great agricultural and stock-raising State; has the greatest natural gas region known to the world; has the most extensive oil wells in the world. Her former geologist estimates that it will take 100 years to exhaust the supply. Oklahoma has seventy-nine billion tons of coal; has such splendid resources for bottle and window-glass making that these industries, formerly located in Indiana and Kansas, are being moved to Oklahoma. Negroes own much of these valuable lands mentioned above. This State has 39,525 acres of Government land waiting to be taken; has attracted the attention of capitalists in Europe and America, and they are pouring millions of dollars into the State. She has room for many new settlers. She has only 137,612 Negroes. Go and "spy out the land." 8. The trip will be a much-needed vacation, in addition to the fact that what one sees and hears at the League will be worth dollars. Everyone must have rest and change if life is to be prolonged. Among other things for entertainment, there will be a beautiful parade showing what colored people in the State are doing, and a fair will furnish additional pleasures. 9. The trip will be comparatively inexpensive and will be made in comfort. Muskogee is near the States where most of the colored people live. Pullman cars will be provided, if enough persons wish them. Muskogee is easily reached from all points in America. The meet will be held in a hall not over three, minutes' walk from any of the five railroads running into Muskogee. 10. To see, "face' to face and eye to eye," the most remarkable character of our day—Dr. Booker T. Washington—and hear him talk hard "horse sense," common sense—the kind that is not near so common as it should me; the kind that made him famous and his name known in all civilized lands. ISAAC FISHER. KENTUCKY NEWS. (By Al. A. Andrews.) Louisville, Ky., August 3. A committee from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (local branch) visited the Baptist Ministers' Meeting last week with the request that all local colored churches set aside Sunday, August 9, as "Segregation Day," at which time it is proposed to have all the colored ministers deliver a sermon on the "Evils of the Recent Segregation Ordinance," and to raise amounts to aid the National Association in prosecuting its fight to have the measure declared invalid. The suggestion of the committee was readily accepted and preparations are under way to make that day a notable one. Messrs. Clayton B. Blakey (white) and Al. A. Andrews (colored) are the attorneys chosen by the National Association to test the ordinance in court, and they are busy preparing a case to be filed within the next-few days. Miss Bessie Shippen, of Washington, D. C., stopped over in Louisville for one day while en route to Paducah, Ky., where slie will be the guest of Mrs. S. H. George. Miss Shippen was the guest of Mrs. Marion Freeman Andrews while in Louisville, and was accompanied from this city by Dr. S. H. George, who had been in Covington, Ky., to attend the K. of P. Convention. Miss Shippen will again stop in Louisville when returning to Washington. Miss Rosa Childs, daughter of Dr. C. W. Childs, a member of the District Board of Education, is in Louisville, where she is the guest of Mrs. Nora K. Bell, of 217 Magazine Street. Miss Childs has been spending some little time in Cincinnati and says that she finds this part of the country to compare favorably with the eastern Mrs. Sumner A. Furniss, of Indianapolis, recently motored to this city in company with Dr. Furniss for the purpose of escorting Miss Estelle Brown, the charming little daughter of Rev. Thos. J. Brown, of St. Luke's Episcopal Church of Washington, D.C. Little Miss Brown has been visiting Dr. and Mrs. Furniss, whose niece she is, since early in the summer, and she is now completing her stay in this section with a visit to the family of Dr. Horace Morris, to whom Mrs. Furniss is a daughter and sister. The Grand Lodge of Kentucky Pythians met in their annual State Convention at Covington during last week. One of the largest crowds in the history of the order attended the meeting there, and interest in the administration for the ensuing year was more than ever before manifested. On Tuesday evening the Mayor of Covington personally welcomed the guests to the city, and the Mayor's address was responded to by Dr. T. T. Wendell of Lexington, and later on a special reception was held for the visiting guests, which reception was tended and paid for by the Hon. R. P. Ernest, recent candidate for the Republican nomination for United States Senator from Kentucky. The next meeting place of the State Grand Lodge will be Harrodsburg, Ky. Editor Lee L. Brown, of the Louisville News, has been in Chicago during the past week on his annual vacation. Before visiting Chicago, Editor Brown visited friends in French Lick and West Baden Springs, Ind., and in Cincinnati. "Tom" Johnson, who a few years ago was the premier baseball pitcher in the Colored Departmental League of the District, is now a member of the Louisville "White Sox." Johnson has gotten heavier in weight and possesses more of the skill which made him the terror of all aspiring hitters in the Colored League around Washington. He pitched one of the games recently against the Brooklyn Stars and emerged from the fray victorious by a score of 7 to 2. Rube Foster, the famous Negro pitcher of Chicago, is now manager of the local team, and Wickware, the Negro pitcher who defeated Walter Johnson, in a New York game, is also a member of the team. NEGROES BUY CHURCH. St. Paul's Lutheran Edifice Goes to African Methodists—Rev. P. A. Heilman Is Pastor—Property at Street Sold for $37,000—Possession in Four Months. (Baltimore Sun.) St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Druid Hill Avenue and McMechen Street, was sold recently to the congregation of the Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church for $27,000. Negotiations had been pending for several months. They were consummated by George A. Klinefelter, William C. Rupp and Edward S. Hempson, who had been appointed a committee to consider the question and to close the deal. The committee has also been authorized to select a site for a new edifice. By the terms of the deal St. Paul's congregation will worship in the present church for the next four months, at the end of which time the building will be turned over to the colored congregation. It is probable that pending the building or the acquisition of a new church they will be invited to worship in some other church of their denomination. The Rev. Philip A. Heilman is pastor of St. Paul's. The sale of the church had become necessary because of the change in the last few years of the character of the neighborhood in which the church is situated. It is now in a populous Negro section. While $37,000 by no means represents the value of the church, it is considered a fair price because of the conditions existing in the neighborhood. Many members of St. Paul's Church had moved into the suburbs or to other sections of the city, since the Negroes settled in that section. At-present there are 400 members in the congregation, the same number as when Mr. Heilman took charge eighteen years ago. St. Paul's Church was founded in 1872. There have been five pastors: The Rev. Jacob A. Clutz, now a professor at the Lutheran Theological Seminary, Gettysburg, Pa., who organized the church and who was pastor from 1872 to 1881; the Rev. E. K. Felton, now pastor of the Messiah Lutheran Church, Canton, who was pastor from 1881 to 1884; the Rev. W. P. Evans, now of New York, pastor from 1884 to 1887; the Rev. Charles Lowbridge, pastor from 1887 to 1896, when Mr. Heilman was appointed. St. Paul's Church is a two-story brick structure with seats for 700 persons. When Mr. Heilman took charge it was heavily in debt, but it is now free of all incumbrances. In November, 1910, St. Peter's Protestant Episcopal Church, Druid Hill Avenue and Lanvale Street, three squares from St. Paul's Church, was sold to the Bethel African Methodist Church for $90,000. The church is one of the most imposing in the city. The District appropriation bill provides for an automobile for use of the detective force of the District Police Department. As it will be of valuable assistance to the detective force, it is Major Sylvester's hope to be able to get the car without delay. The files of the War Department will lose one, of their most curious possessions when the pending bill passes Congress providing for the return of the Ordinance of Secession of the State of Louisiana, January 26, 1861. The parchment is yellow with age, but in excellent condition and perfectly legible, though some of the signatures are a bit faded. The text is divided into two parts—in English on the left and French on the right. London is now the proud possessor of six ambulances, having never had one before. If an accident occurred the policemen would have to commandeer the nearest wagon, depending on the generosity of the driver. THE OLD STAND Where you find the newest Beverages of the Season.

This you in the glass Is controlled somehow, Entirely by this me; Sometimes gay and Oftimes sad, 'Tis ruled by the me, you see? I know this "You." Have known it long; Quite friends we're grown to be; We meet at the Mirror, Have met at the stream, But I've never seen the "Me." But I've solved the mystery To you I'd impart: If you would happy be, Your deeds are the "Mirror," The heart is the "You" And the "You" is really the "Me." ANNIE LAWRENCE LUCUS. 1845 Fourteenth Street N. W. MUCH GAME IN MICHI'GAN. 18,000 Deer in the State, 5,000 Beare and Only 34 Moose. Marquette, Mich.—According to J. H. McGillivray, deputy state forestry warden, there are 48,000 deer in Michigan—44,000 in the upper peninsula and 4,000 in the northern part of the area south of the strait of Mackinac. Mr. McGillivray says there are known to be thirty-four moose in the state. He estimates the number of wild animals and birds, other than deer, as follows: Rabbitts, 2,500,000; raccoons, 50,000; mink, 70,000; foxes, 100,000; polecats, 170,000; otters, 18,000; beavers, 8,000; bears, 5,000; partridges, 500,000. He suggests that hunting in the southern peninsula be prohibited for five years and that at the close of that period the killing of deer be restricted to those with moose. It is the purpose of the state game and forestry warden's department to introduce the ringed neck pheasant in Michigan. This bird was loosed in New York several years ago for the first time, and it has now so multiplied that the legislature contemplates an open season for it. The pheasant will be established in Michigan in the game refuges, provision for the institution of which was made by the last legislature. Private individuals have donated considerable money and much land for the establishment of breeding places. erages of the Season. Meals cooked ids of the market. Our midday lunch epicures.

Aug. 10.— Hog raising, except in certain isolat- ed sections of the United States, has never been an industry; and in the South how not to raise too many hogs on so much “stops” has given. the farmers a lot of trouble. The city peo- ple, however, haven't paid much at-, tention to a name and have gone along aad built up great'business and, great fortunes on hogs: the raising of them, the Killing and dressing and marketing of them. The slaughter houses and packing establishments in. big northern cities answer the ques- tion, what's in a hog? Booker Washington is fond of tell- ing the colored farmers in the South about the hog. He says that when the farmer gets rid of his hog. such as the may raise for a dollar. he pays two dollars to get him back ready for eating. He says that when the slaugh- ter house is paid, the dressing room looked after, the freight of the rail- roads met and the wtail grocer paid his profits, it’ proves a mighty expen- ‘give hog that the farmer has got back. With a little knowledge, a little pa- tience and a little business sense that hog might have gone from the farm- er’s pen to the styokehouse by direct route. . Tuskegee Institute has a department devoted to: swine culture, and there are more than 600 hogs, representing the best breeds, where the students are taught this branch of the agricul- tural industry. How to breed and raise,a pig; how to guard them from the several kinds of diseases that af- fect the hog: how to’ raise them at the most economical cost for the mar- -ket: how to kill and dress them; in fact, the student learns exactly how to make the hog a profitable asset. A scientific knowledge of hogs, Tusk- egee Institute holds will enable young men to get a footing in the business while the business is young in the South . Lowest Prices : .

But, owing to the peculiar aspect of politics as applied to colored people as a mass, in which they are viewed and treated as a separate and distinct element of the body-politic, to be dealt with along lines different from and frequently antagonistic to those upon which other classes of citizens are treated, a close adherence to the principles of justice and liberty, and the adoption of the means of their practical application, become the paramount racial consideration. Even here, there is room for honest differences of individual opinion, as contradistinguished from the opinion of the majority. But, in the latter aspect, the question ought to be, "Do these differences preclude acquiescence of opinion, or unity of action upon the vital matters affecting the colored people as a whole?" On the question of tariff, millions declared it to be but "a local issue;" likewise the wisdom of a merchant marine and the numerous economic questions now dividing the American electorate. These are important; but do they outweigh the question of human rights, the right of the majority to rule, equality of civil rights and the full, free and equal enjoyment of the results of legitimate toil? Academically viewed, there can be but one answer; but the question as to how these principles are to be made practicable is quite another matter. Admitting the sufficiency of either of the two great parties to insure the absolute equality of all citizens without regard to race or color, should it see fit, what party shall be appealed to and supported by the rank and file of the colored voters? Upon this proposition, we find conflicting opinions among the more advanced thinkers. Some are for ignoring political matters altogether, upon the theory that by so doing the race may have time to fortify itself with material things—such as the almighty dollar and the acquirement of lands and tenements—calculated to make for eventual political recognition— The following bit of hog-wash has gone the rounds of the metropolitan provincial, rural and yellow press: "There is a specter in the Far East, small from your point of vision at the moment, but with all Europe at war, it may loom large at closer range from a California field glass. Watch your west coast carefully and keep a sharp lookout on your Panama Canal. Japan is a nation of wonderful little fighters." This is the enigmatical delivery of one Captain Rowland, who is reputed to be on his way from Canada to England, where he is to take up his sword in behalf of the British nation. That there is a nation of wonderful little fighters in the East is most true, as almost any Canadian or other representative of the Anglo-Saxon race must admit; else why should the British nation deem it pleasant and profitable to enter into close alliance with it? There is nothing especially recherche about this; all the world is aware of the now old story. But why put on the field glass of California? What peculiar power have such glasses over those of the ordinary lenses? Does California manufacture the only clear article, free from chromatic or spherical aberrations and guaranteed to open up a field broad and fair? Wherein has California shown her superiority in the manufacture of spectacles? That that State can boast of spectacles is most true; but such media have been and are unpopular in the Far East, and of doubtful acceptability in all parts of the world, excepting California. And why watch the west coast carefully and keep a weather eye on the Panama Canal? Does Captain Rowland, a British soldier, and party to the Anglo-Japanese entente discover any real reason for his gratuitous warning to the American government? If so, why did he confine himself to so meagre a modicum of his information? He is doubtless an Anglo-Saxon and fully in sympathy with Anglo-Saxon interests in America, as well as in his mother country. Why, with the knowledge of the close bond of sympathy between this country and his own did he not tell the whole truth? Is there really anything reliable in what he has said? Is it possible that this brave captain may be hiding behind the bush of race prejudice to shoot an ally in the back? And why should this bit of warning have been so voraciously gobbled up by the press? Do the Americans take stock in the intimations which reflect so seriously upon the friendly attitude declared by Japan to the extent of discrediting Japanese sincerity? What motive could have possessed the British soldier or the American press in this matter is as enigmatical to us as is the ominous delivery of the former. Pari passu we may mark the movements of the doubtful (?) Japs and the loyal (?) English brave. these things are considered the sine qua non by one class of race leaders. Still other leaders advocate making terms with the historic political enemies of the race by shutting their eyes to their present nefarious projects and practices, in the hope that when, with the help of the colored voters, such enemies become all-powerful, they will change their erstwhile hostile attitude and turn a veritable political summersault, ignore the main intruments by which they climbed into prominence and power; and settle upon the adoption and practice and policies, the assertion and practice of which would belie party promises, party traditions and party history. A commanding figure in the last-named class announces that the duty of the hour is to work to "change the Negroes' political condition throughout the South for the better," and since the Republican party has "abandoned us to our fate, an alignment with the Democratic party" is "the best way out of the difficulty." This prophet, priest and would-be Moses, by a course of labyrinthian and mystifying reasoning which would amaze the father of the syllogism, assures the colored people that by allying ourselves with the Democrats they will excite a new interest in the hearts of Republicans and enforce new relations of a friendly character among our-historic enemies. For our part, we do not entertain that kind of principle or diplomacy. Our knowledge of and experience with the Democratic party incline us to beware of surrendering ourselves to an avowed enemy; on the contrary, we believe in "fighting to the knife, the knife to the hilt." We know the history of the Democratic party. That party, or its legitimate ancestors, forced a compromise upon the question of slavery before the Constitution could become a fact; it postponed the time for the prohibition of the importation of slaves until 1808; it insisted upon the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act, whereby every citizen, North and South, was made a veritable blood-hound to catch and deliver fugitive slaves; it wept over the corpse of Slavery and over its bier formulated schemes to resurrect its spirit if not its body, and cursed Abraham Lincoln because he issued the Proclamation; it resolved, through the General Synod of the Presbyterian Church South, in 1863, "that slavery is a divine institution," and further "that God raised up the Presbyterian Church South to protect and perpetuate that institution;" it opposed the amendments to the Constitution which declared the colored people free American citizens and entitled to suffrage; it organized Ku-Klux-Klans, night-riders, Knights of the Circle, and instituted all the bloody machinery and practices calculated to bulldoze, intimidate and murder innocent, law-abiding colored voters. Today the Democratic party is committed to the policy of segregation, jim Crowism, disfranchisement, the progressive reduction of educational facilities for colored children to nil, a restriction to the minimum of opportunities, for remunerative employment of the colored people in every department of human activity; and, as if to emphasize the sum of all villainies, prostitutes the Civil Service of the Federal Government to the consummation of its hellish designs. The Republican party stands for all that the colored people hold dear; and, but for the unholy ambition of certain "trimmers," would now be in power—the champions and benefactors of the "despised race." But for the history and traditions of the Republican party, the colored people would now be the prey to the most devilish inclinations of a rabid fawning, cowardly race-hating, Democratic mob. Furthermore, we do not agree that segregation began with a Republican administration. It may be true that Democratic understrappers and holdovers sought to inaugurate a policy of comparative segregation; and it is admitted that to a certain very limited extent it obtained; but it never was insisted upon, winked at or generally known by a single Cabinet officer, and was unrebuked and uncorrected simply because the fact of attempted segregation was not brought to the attention of the Administration by those most concerned. To say that the Republican and Democratic parties are equally implicated in the matter of race segregation in the government departments is to display inexcusable ignorance of departmental methods and actual conditions. As to the cruel treatment of colored clerks in the Auditor's Office, it must be remembered that that office is largely influenced by the Postmaster General—one Burleson—and it may be that Mr. Kramm is but the proverbial catpaw of the Democrats designed to enable them to shift responsibility and to say to blind colored adherents, Here is your party friend! We do not favor a colored man's party, either. Such an organization would only tend to justify segregation, keep alive social and political distinctions and antagonisms and become an almost insurmountable stumbling block in the way of the final acknowledgment of our civil and political rights. We believe that the safest place is in the Republican party; there to fight, there to demand our full manhood rights. NEGRO APOLOGISTS There are Negro journalistic apologists in this city who continue to send out to certain newspapers about Negro promotions in the government departments. In a recent correspondence sent out a few days ago a Negro clerk who has been toadying to the Democratic administration for some time to enable him to hold his job. This same Negro does the same stunt under all Republican administrations. The promotions to which this Negro apologist referred in his last correspondence were not promotions at all, but merely the restoration of the salaries to those colored clerks that had been cut down by Democratic chiefs. SECRETARY McADOO. The Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. McAdoo, is endeavoring to treat the colored Americans fairly. It is believed, when his attention is called to the viciousness of the understrappers under him, he generally puts a stop to their mad career. There is a great deal for Mr. McAdoo to do in the interest of fair play. There have been several deserving promotions in his department made by Democratic chiefs and several demotions and discharges made by holdover Republican chiefs. Bishop Walters has been liberal. He has done all in his power to land so-called Negro Democrats, and when he saw that Negro Democrats could not succeed Negro Republican, he has asked that they be retained. On the other hand, there have been quite a lot of disgruntled Negro Republicans who were persona non grata in the Republican party, declared for Democracy in the hope of getting money or a position. Now, if Northern Democrats are sincere and the Negroes should see to it, they would hold the Southern Democrats in check and prevent as much as possible all or any hostile legislation against the colored race. The Negro ought to be convinced by now that the rank and file of the Democratic party is all against him. That a division of the general electorate is desirable and necessary seems clear, for the reason that such division is a logical expression of that independence of thought and action, characteristic of intelligent citizenship, which views and acts upon all problems and propositions from the standpoint of enlightened experience and sound reasoning. This is particularly true of American politics where, even when the correctness of principles is generally admitted, the question of their best application to peculiar social problems is the source of wide differences of opinion. Moreover, in this country political opinions are frequently formed and modified under the influence of the prevailing local or sectional sentiment or material interest, even to the exclusion or in violation of sound moral and economic principles generally applied. Thus a mere change of residence will often carry with it a change of political opinion more or less harmonious with the highest expression of justice, as the case may be. The colored voters, being no exception to the average voter in point of reasoning powers, or susceptibility to the influences of local or sectional sentiment or interest, must express—if they honestly declare themselves—differences of political opinion, at least as to the best means of reducing sound principles to practice. It were mere foolishness to quarrel with a man simply because he entertains political views different from our own. As an individual voter, it is his duty, as well as his right, to express an individual opinion, however inharmonious or improper it may seem to those who think and act differently; otherwise, democratic government would be a sham. To be sure, it is the duty of every voter to seek to influence his fellow-citizens so that their suffrages will be cast in the interest of justice, law and order, the best economy and the greatest good to the greatest number; but even this duty must be pursued with the greatest care and in strict consonance with the constitutional right of free speech. Verily, differences of political opinion and party affiliation are to be expected. The charges that confront colored employees in our local government may be found in the ranks of certain holdover Republicans and not from the District Commissioners. The colored people have nothing to fear from the District Commissioners. Both Messrs. Siddons and Newman are two of the best men our local government has ever had. The colored employees speak well of them. The Bee hopes to see Secretary McAdoo do something handsome for colored men. THE WRIGHT INVESTIGATION The Bee is of the opinion that the Wright investigating committee has wasted a great of time investigating alleged charges against Judge Wright, which are liable to happen to any judge when a case goes against a plaintiff. Now what is all this "tempest in a teapot?" Judge Wright rendered certain decisions that were not favorable to plaintiffs and in many instances they were carried to the Court of Appeals, which in many cases sustained Judge Wright. Now, have not decisions been appealed from the Court of Appeals to the United States Supreme Court and in many instances the court was reversed? How many thousands of judges have been harsh to both clients and lawyers? Must they be impeached? If the McCoy Committee wants data to impeach judges, let it read or request the reports of decisions against colored Americans in the Southern States. Now, what did the testimony of Attorney Scott show last Tuesday? It showed conclusively what the trouble is with people who fail to win out in cases before the court. The Bee suggests to the McCoy Committee to close the "Tempest in a Teapot." A CHANGE NECESSARY Dr. Thurston will find that a change in the marking in both the Normal School No. 2 and the Normal Kindergarten School should be made. It is also necessary to transfer several teachers in both of those schools for insubordination. It would take an expert from the best approved institution in this country to understand the markings in these two schools. There will be no harmony in those schools until a change is made. The marking of graduates from both schools this year has certainly convinced Mr. Thurston as well as the Board of Education that a change of marking and the transfer of some of the teachers are necessary. THE VOCATIONAL SCHOOL. The Bee expects every one to have a square deal, and it also believes that the members of the Board of Education, Dr. Childs to whom the apologist referred to, will see that all hands will get a square deal. Dr. Childs, or any other member of the Board of Education, will not tolerate unfairness. Dr. Childs is for the best interests of the schools. The Bee is not at all disturbed concerning the disposition of the Moria Saunders case before the Board of Education. A change in the Normal School marking and a few transfers of teachers are absolutely necessary. Errors have been discovered in the Normal School Kindergarten marking. A change in the marking and a few transfers of teachers are necessary. Remove the principal of the O Street Vocational School and permit the teachers to remain. There was no disruption when Principal Newman had charge of the O Street and Cardoza Vocational Schools. Captain James F. Oyster will return to the Board of Education. He is needed there to untangle the "knots" in the twisted cord. The editors of the Sun are R. W. Thompson, Neval Thomas, J. Finley Wilson and Julia Coleman. The Civil Service Commission is investigating. For further information apply to The Bee. Persons who are ambitious to become editors should come out in the opening. The Bee has given this quartette timely warning. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) There is to be a change at the Blue Plain Industrial School. There are several candidates for the place. Rev. L. C. Moore, an original Democrat, is in the lead for the place. My friend, Madder, who has made an excellent officer, will be succeeded by a colored Democrat, although Dr. J. W. Bruce Evans and Witfield McKinley are candidates. Just what the claims of the last two individuals have I am unable to state. From a Negro Democratic point of view, Rev. L. C. Moore is the logical candidate. Mr. Madder has given entire satisfaction and it is regretted that he is to retire. If Rev. Moore is appointed there will be several changes in the personnel of the institution. Mrs. Moore will be the matron. She is a trained nurse and a woman of ability. She would be a great acquisition to the institution. *1 * R. Wordy Thompson continues his journalistic harrangues to his placards out of town. R. Wordy will wake up one of these bright mornings and find himself pressing bricks for Walker. Ralph W. Tyler has neither made a proposition to purchase a local "trying sheet" and neither would he have it. This sheet that comes out "weakly" and tries to get out the next week. It is drawing heavily on the resources of the female editor, whose journalistic ambition is carrying away the proceeds of her "Hair Vim." "Hair Vim" and journalism never could work in harmony. * * Well, it has come at last. My old friend, J. Ortway Holmes, was married last Thursday night. He went in the country and took one of the country widows. He will bring her from the wilds of Virginia to his handsome city residence on Twenty-first Street. This announcement will no doubt surprise everybody. She is a lady of refinement and a woman of business. She is also a good housekeeper. Ortway is in need of a good housekeeper. There are to be several changes in the Normal School next school term. Superintendent Thurston is confronted with acts of insubordination, which are working to the detriment of the public school system. He is no doubt convinced that he must take the Normal School in hand himself. It is necessary to transfer the principal of the Kindergarten as well as a few teachers in Normal School No. 2. The children are suffering. A change in the rating of graduates is an absolute necessity. Well, Henry E. Baker will go to the Exposition, it is claimed, and exh. Negro inventions. Henry knows his business in this direction, at any rate. * * By the way, Richard D. Venning is one of the old school sports. Will Dido has been a sport in his time. He now returns to Philadelphia and rest his weary bones. He has seen many pass away from the City of Magnificent Distances. I understand that a few will leave this city for the Negro Business League. R. Wordy will remain at this end and fire his hot air to his out-of-town placards. I shall tell you something amusing next week. HIS BIRTHDAY. Rev. W. H. Nelson Honored—A Brilliant Affair. Rev. W. H. Nelson, pastor of Israel C. M. E. Church, and who is daily growing in the popular favor of his people, celebrated his birthday anni- PETER H. HARRIS REV. W. H. NELSON. versary at the residence of Mr. M. A. Moore, 419 Eye Street Southeast, Monday evening. The reception to the pastor was held from 8 o'clock to 11 o'clock. It was a most brilliant affair. The presents were numerous, beautiful and valuable. There is no man in the ministry more thought of than Rev. Nelson. Among those present were: Rev. J. R. Christian, Rev. J. S. Scott, Rev. W. H. Nelson, Mrs. Martha Lyons, Mrs. Waverly E. Frances, Mrs. Rosa Davis, Mrs. F. Fowler, Miss Eliza B. Wheeler, Mrs. Julia Carthran, Mrs. Daisy Sellers, Mrs. Mamie Fowler, Thomas E. Clifford, John R. Dent, M. H. Robinson, Edward H. Washington, Mrs. Mamie Walton, Miss M. E. White, Mrs. Susan Francis, Ransom Smart, Mrs. Annie R. Robinson, Mrs. Fannie Francis, Mrs. M. A. Moore, Mrs. Annie Bryaft, Mrs. Alberta S. Gunner. ASSISTANT PROBATION OFFICER. Miss Florence May Porter Assistant to Her Father. Miss Florence May Porter, the sixteen year old daughter of Chief Probation Officer Isaac D. Porter, has been appointed as an assistant to her father by the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. The oath of office was administered on Tuesday, August 11, 1914, in the Clerk's office by Assistant Clerk Fred C. O'Connell, before an assemblage consisting of the appointee's father, Mr. Harvey, court reporter for the Star, and a few friends. The city is fortunate in securing the services of such an admirable young woman, and Miss Porter has the whole community's congratulation upon her appointment. The Supreme Court, too, deserves special commendation for its wise selection. Although no appropriation has A. MISS FLORENCE MAY PORTER heretofore been made for an assistant, the young lady has constantly helped her father at his work, and is entirely familiar with her duties in his office. In fact, she was the logical candidate for the place. Aside from being a persistent worker, Miss Porter displays signs of that strong personality which has endearled her father to this community, and there is no doubt that she is destined to become the idol of the City Hall. Miss Porter is a native Washingtonian, and a graduate of the Business High School, class of 1914. While at school she was prominent in many school activities, and distinguished herself in inter-school athletics. She has the distinction of being the youngest person ever appointed to such a position in the United States, and we predict for her a long and successful public career. MARLBORO, MD.

The climax was reached last Satur- day, August 8. When the proprietor of Mt. View House gives the house guests and their friends a picnic on Island Park, a most beautiful park in the mid-Potomac, a spot which no State claims. Well, on Saturday af- ter breakfast the guests and friends began their retiring to the park. We had the Storer College Band. Col. McKenny, the director, was at his best and played until 6 P.M, at which time we went back to the ho- tel, where we had music by the band until 1 o'clock. 1 must tell you about the eats which were personally con- ducted by Mr. Martin, proprietor. We had chicken sandwiches, eggs, potato salad, fruits, lemonade, ice cream, cakes and a plenty of every- thing and much to spare. Nobody could conceive of a better or more enjoyable day spent. We are now looking forward to a great time Saturday night, August 15. The Mt. View House will give its second an- nual ball and reception in the Col- lege Gym. The young ladies have volunteered to decorate the Gym. Miss Helen C, Harris is in charge. You can, imagine how beautiful it will look. Col. McKenny, who so success- fully directed the music for the pic- nic, will be out with his full orches- tra.

FAIRMONT HEIGHTS Hon. Sidney FE. Mudd, Ir. the Man. Se ae ae ee Se ee ee ee Indications now in hand from, al- most every section of the Sixth Con- gressional District of Maryland, show the nomination and election of the Honorable Sidney E. Mudd, Jr, to the 63rd Congress. Mr. Mudd is a native Marylander and a lawyer by profession. He is a‘ true blue Republican, broad in his views. He, in our judgment, _ will make a first-class member of Cong- ress, and one who will represent the interests of all his constituency. He, we believe, will equal his father, who did more for the Fifth Congressional District and the District of Columbia, than any of his predecessors, He will extend the lights on the Distriét Bou- levard to Fairmount Heights. Two years ago Mr. Mudd was a candidate for Congress. Mr. Thomas Parran was his opponent in the pri- mary. “Many of us thought at the jtime that Mr, -Parran should have a second term in Congress. We voted |for Mr. Parran in, that primary elec- Jtion, with the distinet understanding Jthat’ nest we would support Mr, {Mudd on this go round. Of course | Mr. Mudd was defeated in the pri- mary by Mr. Parran. The next tine jis here. When Mr. Mudd found that ‘a majority of the Republicans of the =| district at that time had supported Mr. Parran, he bowed in submission | to the will of the people, and entere< ;| the eampaign in the interest of Mr Parran. Mr. Mudd stood by his }party. Mr. Mudd worked hard fo: j|the success of the Republican ticket "He, by so doing won the admiratior lof a great body of the voters in th ")district, and it is their purpose te laid Mr. Sidney E.

SLEUTHS as oF Seer Ee Se Cracker Shortly Before He Was Killed by Detective—Girl Wife As- sorts Husband Gave His Life to Get Gems and She Will Keep Them. Savannah, Ga—Defying the agents of the United States to wrest from ber the secret of the hiding place of $54,009 worth of loot amassed b) ber yaggman husband and buried near Savemmmh, Mrs. Charles C. Craven, who fs twenty years old, returned to Georgia éetermined to regain the'trpas- ure fer herself, but afratd to claim it under the eyes of Uncle Sam's men. Crevwa, one of the most notorious cracksmen the south bas ever known was Milled at Wildwood, Fis, five months ago by a rallroad special agent after a running battle on top of a mor- ing freight train. The cracksman, through « series of postoffice and train robberies in Georgia, Alabaina and Florida, bad amassed $39,000 in cash and §16,000 worth of jewels, which he took to Savannah and buried near a station on a suburban car line, telling the secret of its location to none but his wife. After bis death the young widow was arrested and held for several weeks while government agents tried to ex- tract from her the secret of the loca- thon of the buried treasure. After her release the federal agents began to shadow her. Wherever she went she was followed, in the hope that she would make an attelmpt to unearth the treasure, Mrs. Craven declares she will never dirulge to the government the location of the treasure. “Charlie pald the penalty for his wrongdoing with bis life,” she said “He risked his life to get the money and jewels for me, and they are mine. I will die before I will tell where they aro hidden.” ‘When rhe married the cracksman, elghtcen months ago, in Norfolk, Va., she thought he was a business man. After a honeymoon of three weeks they came to Savannah, and here Cra- ‘ven told her he was a yeggman, but the news did not shake her love for him, and she followed him wherever he wished. “We went all over the south,” she said. “Last summer we were in Mem- phis for awhile. It was seldom that he left home without returning eighteen or twenty-four hours later with $500 or so, Hé seldom told me what be had done or any of the circumstances sur- rounding his operations. I did not ask But 1 Mved in constant fear that he would be arrested or killed. “In November we went to Chicago, but did not stay long. My husband car. ried more than $50,000 through the streets one day there. He spent his money as fast as he got it. He was very Uberal with bis pals. He was Hever without a considerable fund wit! which to pay the traveling expenses 0 himself and the members of his gang. “After leaving Chicago we came south. At Owensboro, Ky., my husband blew a safe in a postofiice and got ser. eral thousand dollars. Then we came to Atlanta. We got there on the night of Dec. 27, 1913, and walked down Peachtree street, carrying a quart o! nitroglycerin in d satchel, From At lanta Charlie went to Augusta and | came to Savannah. Later he joined me in Savannah, but a few days thereafter he went to southern Florida. Shortly afterward he came back to Savannat with the $15,000 in cash and jewel: worth $16,000, which he went out one night and buried. “Charlle did not stay long In Savan nah after Lurying the money, Then | ran short of money and wrote to hin to ask If It would be all right to tak gome of the hidden money to live ou That letter never reached him. It fel {nto the hands of the government eu thorities, and that is how they learne of the buried treasure. . “I was arrested, but no charge coul be made azainst me, as I’had not re celved the stolen goods. After I 0 ‘out of jail I was bestezed by peopl whom I knew in Savannah to tell th Jocation of the hidden money. Som of them searched for it themselves ut til they dug up a bottle of nitroglyc erin, which we had also hidden.

SSeS: Seale Seas ee ee man Traveling Back and-Forth. London.—The strange story of an un- buried body which 1s about to start on its sixth trip across the Atlantic ts told by the Daly Telegraph's Berlin correspondent. A woman died in the United States last summer. Her new- ly niarried daughter and her son-In- law determined to inter the body in the mother’s native place, Breslau. The cemetery authorities there demanded $1,250 for burial in the family vault, and, regarding the charge exorbitant, the daughter decided to take the body back to America. Upon arriving at New York, how- ever, she found awaiting ber a letter to the effect that the controllers of the cemetery were prepared to reduce the price of a grave, "whereupon she and her husband forthwith returned with the body to Breslau, There fresh differences of opinion arose, and, as there appeared to be no chance of Agreement, the mother’s body once more was transported to New York. Shortly after this the daughter and her husband became tired of the land of their adoption and made up thelr «minds to repatriate themselves in Ger- many. Accordingly they packed cp their personal belongings and, with the body of the mother, once mote &p- peared in Breslan Meanwhile the Gimeplty with the proprietors of the cemetery was composed, and at last the much traveled body was consigned te the tomb. But even now it is net to be left in peace. The restless couple Gecided that after all the new world was better then the old and resolved | te reeross the Atlantic once mora, tak- tng with them the body of the mother. Bet the cemetery authorities refused te purrender the botly, so the Caughter took the case before the law courts ‘The first decision given was agains! her, Dut now, on appeal, she has. ob tained an order that ber mother’s body be delivered to her. .

Kansas City, Mo.—As George Wilson, a Keeper at the Horne zoological arena, east of Independence, was eating his luncheon in the cooking house the door opened and in walked two big wolves. Wilson summoned help and seized a club. ‘The wolves were not the little, half hearted American kind, but the big Si- berian variety, noted for thelr flerce- ness, They were not as hard to man- age as they might hare been, however, for they had already dined off some Plymouth Rock roosters and: for des- sert bad eaten a ten dollar parrot.

Recommendation that 30 per cent of agricultural fund that is to be dis- tributed by the State of Alabama by the provisions of the Smith-Lever bill should be divided equally between the Tuskegee Institute and the Agricul- tural and Mechanical School for Ne- groes at Normal was made recently to Governor O'Neal by Captain Reuben F, Kolb, chairman, and the members of a special commission appointed by Governor O'Neal to visit Tuskegee and investigate-conditions. | Captain Kolb and the mémbers of the commission. warmly praised the work that is being done at Tuskegee and complimented Booker T. Wash- ington, head of the institute, for the active efforts he has put forward in behalf of the institution. Those on the commission besides Captain Kolb were Thomas W._ Oliver, W, C. Thomas, C. P. Deming, W. I. ‘Casey and W. F. Garth, ‘ Following is the report made by the Commission to Governor O'Neal: “Ilis Excellency, Governor Emmet O'Neal, Governor’ of Alabama: “We, the committee appointed by your excellency to visit the Tnskegee Institute for purposes of inquiring in- to and reporting to your excellency upon the condition of that school, bes Ieave to make this report: Spent-Day There. “In discharge of -our commission together we visited the ~chool on Wednesday, July 22, and spent the day there inspecting’ its plant and studying the methods and conditions under which it is operated.” Our mis- sion was to report specilically upon the features that referred to the claims of this institution to participate in the appropriation to be adminis- tered by the State of Alabama under the provisions of the Smith-Lever bill. We therefore directed our main at- tention to the facilities of the institu tion in service of its agricultural branches. {fn this line we find it has an efficient and full equipment.

KEY OF KNOWLEDGE BURIED Jesus' Teachings Harmonized the Law and the Prophets—Jewish Doctors of Divinity Had Failed to Teach the Deep Things of the Law—Opposition to Bible Study—Common People Heard Jesus Gladly—Jewish People Typical of Spiritual Israel—Jewish Age Typical of Gospel Age—Jewish Harvest Typical of Gospel Harvest. August 9.—The Photo-Drama of Creation continues to awaken deep interest in Bible study. Its orderly presentation of the world's masterpieces of art illustrating sacred history deeply impresses the thoughtful spectator. Every subject dear to the PASTOR RUSSELL Christian's heart is beautifully depicted. Pastor Russell preached today from the text, "Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the Key of Knowledge; ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered." (Luke 11:52) He said in part: In the New Testament the word lawyer has a very different meaning from our general usage. It applied to those religious teachers of the Jews who made special professions of sanctity and earnest desire to know God's will, as expressed in the Mosaic Law, and to teach the same to the people. The corresponding class of today are designated Doctors of Divinity. Our text, therefore, with this correction reads, "Woe unto you, Doctors of Divinity! for ye have taken away the Key of Knowledge; ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered." Common People Heard Jesus Gladly. Common People Heard Jesus Gladly. It was the custom amongst the Jews that lessons from the Law and the Prophets should be read every day in their synagogues. The people were thus familiar with the letter of the Divine Law and promises. The majority of them were, of course, illiterate; for educational facilities were not then what they are now. As a result, only a few claimed to have a knowledge of the spiritual part of the Law and the Prophets. These were chiefly of the literary and wealthy classes. To these the common people looked for guidance respecting God's will and plan. As an illustration: When the common people heard Jesus gladly, they were unwilling to trust their own judgments, but Inquired, "Have any of the Scribes and Pharisees believed on Him?" Have the Doctors of the Law, the Doctors of Divinity, endorsed Him? They have made a study of these things, and we would rely more upon their judgment than upon our own. But not one of the Scribes and the Pharisees endorsed Him, and hence few of the people believed on Him and became His disciples. The common people were hungry for the Message which Jesus brought. It is recorded that they said of Jesus' teachings, "Never man spake like this man." The nation would have gone over promptly to Jesus had the Scribes and the Pharisees, Doctors of the Law, set the example and given the word. Moreover, the teachings of Jesus harmonized the message of the Law and the Prophets, over which the Scribes and Pharisees and the Sadducees had long wrangled and disputed. Had the Doctors of the Law been as hungry for the Truth as were the people, undoubtedly all of their differences of interpretation of the Old Testament Scriptures would have been speedily removed in the light of the then Present Truth and knowledge of God, which was shining upon the Bible through the Holy Spirit, Jesus and the Apostles being Jehovah's mouthpieces. The Key of Knowledge Buried. In our text Jesus charged the Jewish Doctors of Divinity with the responsibility of having taken away the Key of Knowledge, refusing to use it themselves to enter into appreciation of the great blessings due, and hiding it from the common people, who trusted them implicitly. We charge that the same thing is true today. Not only were the Jewish people typical of Spiritual Israel, and their Age typical of this Age, and their Harvest typical of the Harvest, or closing time, of this Age, but additionally, now as then, God's people perish for lack of knowledge. (Hosea 4:0.1) Now, as then, the Doctors of Divinity will not use the Key of Knowledge themselves, to enter heartily into the wonderful privileges and blessings now due, and additionally they have buried the Key of Knowledge, hiding it from the people under a mass of forms and ceremonies. But Is Knowledge Necessary? In our Lord's day the Jewish Doctors of Divinity, or Rabbs, contented ag the people and what they should not do, but did not teach the people—did not help them to any understanding of the deep meaning of the Law and the Prophets. In our context Jesus said to them. You blind heavy burdens upon the people, grievous to be borne, but you do not attempt to carry them yourselves. So is it today with the Jewish Rabbi, as well as with other ministers; for instance, a minister stands as a representative and mouthpiece of the church creed, which in roundabout terms declares that whoever does not live a saintly life will suffer an eternity of torment. Is not this a grievous burden to put upon any conscientious soul? Has it not caused untellable anguish to many of God's true people? Has it not driven away from God and the Bible thousands of the most intelligent minds in the world? As the Jewish Doctors of Divinity carried no such burdens, neither do the Doctors of Divinity of Christendom. In private they acknowledge that they carry no such burdens. In public they give the inference that they do—not so much by positive terms as by implication, tone and inflection of the voice, and by the general fact that they stand for and are representatives of the creeds which so teach. It does not excuse these influential teachers for them to claim that in their official capacity they lose their personal responsibility and shift it upon those who made the creeds and those who adopt them. The people are no longer trusting the creeds. They realize that the creeds contain many inconsistencies, and that greater light is shining today from one page of the Bible upon another than shone in the days when those creeds were formulated. The common people trust the Bible—Jesus, the Apostles and the Prophets. They know that all the creeds of Christendom claim to be built upon the inspired Record. They understand the Scribes and Pharisees of today, the Doctors of Divinity of Christendom, to give assurances that those creeds properly present the teachings of the Bible. The creedal chains would become ropes of sand if all the prominent Doctors of Divinity of Christendom came forward and publicly renounced the creeds, as they nearly all do in private conversation. It was this matter of misleading the people, deceiving them, that constituted the basis of Jesus' charge against the Doctors of Divinity of old; and we believe that His judgment is very similar today respecting the Doctors of Divinity of Christendom."Ye have taken away [ye have hidden] the Key of Knowledge. Ye have not entered in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered." Christian people today are so disgusted with the creeds which have separated them and their forefathers into six hundred different denominations that they are quite ready to discard all creeds, and to come together as one Church of the Living God to study the Bible in its own light. Systematic Key-Hiding. The Scribes and Pharisees of our day are proving themselves to be the antitypes of those addressed by Jesus in our text, and have a substitute for knowledge. Taking away the Key of Knowledge, they say to the common people, "Do not bother your head about doctrines; leave doctrines to the clergy; let the clergy endorse all the creeds, however conflicting they be. We do this in order to lull you to sleep. There is nothing so disturbing to the Christian's rest as the discussion of the doctrines of Christ. "If there be in any congregation those who cannot feel satisfied without some kind of Bible study, let them have it; but get them rather to discuss the geography of Palestine and the habits and customs of the people, etc., than the prophecies of old or the interpretation of them, as given by Jesus and the Apostles. We ministers will keep aloof from such Bible study; we will leave the impression that we understand these prophecies perfectly, and we will keep a watch upon the Bible classes, but will interfere only when we find some brother therein who is inclined to delve after the doctrines of Christ and the Apostles." One minister, voicing this opposition to Bible study, especially along the lines of difference where it would be of special value, said, "The Church is like a great hospital. Everything like doctrinal discussion must be banished and excluded, just as in a hospital all noise is forbidden, in order that the patient may sleep; or just as in a nursery all noise is excluded." Alas! It is too true that the nominal Church of Christ is like a hospital, many of the patients in which are blind, deaf, asleep and mentally confused. But the trouble is that these got into this condition because of a neglect of healthful exercise; and the keeping of them quiet will but turn the present hospital into a cemetery. What the churches of all the denominations need is the Word of God—as presented in the words of Jesus and the Apostles. "The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life," said the Master. The stn-sick and lame, the blind, deaf and mentally perplexed need to hear the voice of Truth—"Wonderful Words of Life"—otherwise they will become more sick and will perish as Christians, only to become alive perhaps as "lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God." An Episcopal minister in our hearing urged his congregation to simply rest, and not to bother themselves about their own future or that of others. The Holy Catholic Church, he said, resembled a ship, in which the members should come as passengers to be carried to the Heavenly destination. They need not examine the compass or the chart or the machinery. All that they need to do is to sit down and enjoy the journey, trusting that their bap ism and the Holy Spirit have given them a ticket to a proper destination. Necessity For Knowledge. Knowledge of God, the Bible declares, is indispensable for the attainment of the great Prize of the High Calling. Thus Jesus said, "This is life eternal, that they might know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent." (John 17:3.) We are not to understand this to signify that any one who has merely been made acquainted with the fact that there is one Creator, and that Jesus Christ is His Son, is on account of this knowledge to be granted everlasting life. Some apparently think to be able to make void the various Scriptures which tell of the necessity of making our "calling and election sure" by so running as to obtain the prize. Our Lord's words do not refer to a knowledge about God, but to a knowledge of God and His Son—a personal acquaintance with them. And such an intimate acquaintance is not obtained merely by an introduction, but by companionship. It signifies an intimacy of acquaintanceship, a familiarity. Everything in the Divine Word encourages those who accept the Divine invitation to draw near to God, to come into fellowship with Him. But this knowledge of God which will bring a saintly few to salvation on the highest plane stands related to God's Word—the teachings of the Bible; for thus God exalted His Word, by making it the channel for spiritual refreshment and personal acquaintanceship with Himself. Thus Jesus prayed for us, His followers, "Sanctify them through Thy Truth; Thy Word is Truth." Any who neglect the Divine Word will fall of the sanctifying power and thus fall of the ultimate acquaintancehip with God which alone will guarantee everlasting life. The reason why the Lord has thus arranged the matter and made knowledge of the Scriptures essential is, doubtless, that thus His faithful people may be benefitted; and they alone may receive the instruction which will profit them alone, but which would more or less injure others. Thus it is written, "Ye shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free." To this class our Lord says today, as He said to His Jewish followers eighteen centuries ago. To you it is given to know the Mysteries of the Kingdom of God; but to all outside these things are spoken in parables and dark sayings, that seeing they might see and not perceive, and hearing they might hear and not understand. To the outsiders—the Doctors of Divinity—is not committed the Key of Knowledge. What Constitutes the Key. What Constitutes the Key. The Key of Knowledge consists of the faithful study of the Word of God, with an honest purpose to know the things that are freely given unto us of God. This implies a consecration of heart; for none others would really desire that they might do the Divine will. This also implies a faith in our Lord's promise that "if any man will do God's will, he shall know of the doctrine." It is this consecrated, conscientious Bible study that is lacking today—that is being discouraged by the great teachers and Doctors of Divinity. Everything designed to help Bible study, to get rid of the darkness of the creeds and superstitions of the past, is opposed—but not openly. The Doctors of Divinity of our day, like those of Jesus' day, are wise and act as though they do know. But they do not know; they oppose real Bible study—not openly, but secretly, "for fear of the people." (Mark 11:32; 12:12.) The great religious leaders of the Jews were marked by our Lord as being less conscientious, less honest, than the masses of the people. Concerning the people we read that "Jesus was moved with compassion when He beheld the multitude, that they were like sheep without a shepherd." And is it not so today also? Are not many of the Lord's people hungering and thirsting for the Truth, and greatly perplexed and discouraged because, going time after time to the religious leaders, they have received a stone instead of bread, a serpent instead of a fish—have received a false doctrine, a devilish misrepresentation of God's Character and of His Plan respecting humanity? These devilish doctrines of the Dark Ages St. Paul calls "doctrines of demons"; for the demons, the fallen angels, evidently have propagated them. They are to be found amongst all the heathen, but nowhere in so bad a form as amongst Christians of all denominations. Is there not therefore a great responsibility resting upon every conscientious minister of the Gospel, that he should step out from amongst the mass of the Doctors of Divinity, who are hiding the Key of Knowledge and are misleading the Lord's trusting sheep of nominal Christendom? Impossible to Deceive the Very Elect. As we have already shown, they cannot keep penned or asleep those who constitute "the very Elect," nor can they keep knowledge from this saintly class. Our Lord, speaking of this time, said that the deceptions would be such that they would deceive, if possible, "the very Elect"; but in their case deception will not be possible, for the True Shepherd Himself will help them. But oh, what weeping of disappointment, what chagrin and guashing of teeth will come shortly to the false shepherds, to the Key-hiding Doctors of Divinity, when they find that with all their endeavors to bolster up shams and superstitions in which they themselves do not believe, the entire fabric of Churchianity will collapse, as the Scriptures predict. Is it any wonder that the Master prophesied respecting the unfaithfulness amongst His professed followers at this time, saying, "When the Son of Man cometh, shall He find the Faith upon the earth?"

BROOKLYN TABERNACLE BIBLE-STUDY-ON WICKED VINE-DRESSERS. Matthew 21:33-46—Aug. 15. "The Stone that the builders rejected, the same is become the Head of the corner."—Matthew 21:48. NOT only did the Redeemer teach chiefly by parables, but nearly all of those parables related to the Kingdom. The reason for this is plain. The Divine Plan calls for the setting up of the Kingdom of Righteousness by Divine Power for the overcoming of the Prince of Darkness, whose reign of six thousand years has been a Reign of Sin and Death. Today's lesson points indirectly to the Kingdom. While the whole world lay in sin and under Divine sentence of death, God planted in the world a root of Promise, a hope. This Promise, made to Abraham, foretold that his seed would eventually become very powerful and would cause God's blessing to fill the earth and roll away the curse. In due time this Promise came to the nation of Israel, Abraham's posterity and heirs of the Promise. Thus God planted a vineyard in the world, the Jewish nation, bound to Him by their Law Covenant. He set a hedge about them—the Divine prom- 1... lse that as long as they were faithful and loyal to God, they would be thoroughly protected against their enemies. Jehovah Himself was their Watchtower. He placed as watchmen the Prophets, who warned the people in respect to every breaking ise that as long as they were faithful and loyal to God, they would be thoroughly protected against their enemies. Jehovah Himself was their Watchtower. He placed as watchmen the Prophets, who warned the people in respect to every breaking down of the wall; for this protection could be broken down only by disloyalty, carelessness, sin, on Israel's part. While the entire nation of Israel is represented by the vineyard, the husbandmen were the religious leaders. These vine-dressers became conceited and acted as if they were the owners, and not merely the Owner's servants. Even in their speech they became accustomed to call the people "our people," "my people," etc. Thus, they failed to glorify God properly, and felt themselves to be more than the servants of God, honored in being permitted to be vine-dressers in His vineyard. In due time the Owner, Jehovah, sent His servants, the Prophets, to Israel. These servants and their messages became tests of the loyalty of the vine-dressers and of the character-development of the people. But alas! the vine-dressers' pride and desire to show off before the people prompted the mistreatment of the Prophets. Some of the servants they beat, others they stoned, others they killed. Finally the Owner sent His Son. The Bible informs us that God foreknew that Israel's rulers would crucify the Son. But the parable states the matter as though the Owner had said, "They will reverence My Son." Surely the Jewish rulers should have recognized Him of whom people declared, "Never man spake like this Man." Surely they should have hearkened to His Message, should have repented of their sins and come back through Him into harmony with God. However, the spirit of selfishness and self-concet often leads its possessors to monstrous acts which afterward appeal even themselves. The Jewish Doctors, clergy of that time, perceived that Jesus, the Son of God, Representative of the Owner of the vineyard, exerted a mighty influence over the people. They reasoned that to whatever extent His cause should prevail, their power, their influence, their titles, their honors of men, would fade. In their exasperation against Jesus, the vine-dressers determined that His death was necessary for the success of their theories and plans. They did not realize that their course was the very one which would lead to the destruction of that typical kingdom of God, that typical vineyard. The parable was fulfilled. God's judgment came upon the Jewish nation. In A. of their theories and plans. They did not realize that their course was the very one which would lead to the destruction of that typical kingdom of God, that typical vineyard. The parable was fulfilled. God's judgment came upon the Jewish nation. In A. D. 70 it was overthrown, and has never since been restored, nor will it be until Messiah shall establish His Kingdom. The Lord said that they were wicked vine-dressers. He appointed new ones—the twelve Apostles, St. Paul taking the place of Judas. Moreover, He started a new vineyard, putting into it only the true Vine. Of this vineyard our Lord said, "I am the Vine; ye are the branches." Century after century these true branches of the true Vine have been planted by baptism into death with their Master and have been bringing forth the peaceable fruits of righteousness. Ere long, we believe, this fruitage will all be gathered and, by the resurrection "change," be transplanted into Heavenly conditions. The Scriptures also represent the Church by a pyramid, which has five corner-stones, the chief one of which, the top-stone, is itself a perfect pyramid. Jesus, rejected by the Jews, crucified, is the Chief Corner-Stone of this great Temple of God, the Church. Already He is glorified, and His Church will soon be united to Him.

' per cent. The second quarterly conference of Mt. Zion M. E. Church was held on Friday evening, August 7. Considerable business was enacted after the reports of the trustees, stewards and leader, several important measures were discussed and voted upon. Among them was the unanimous vote of the conference requesting the district conference at their next meeting to restore elders license to Mr. Wm. H. Gaines, which was approved by the large membership present. The displacing of the president of the Junior League, Mrs. Louise Brown, by the pastor, was considered unwise and very harmful to the league, her work having proved very successful, Rev. Geo. Harris, and his congregation of Jerusalem Baptist Church are holding open air meetings at Early Rose Park; Twenty-seventh Street Northwest, which was largely attended on Sunday. Rev. Geo. Jacobs is the acting pastor of Mt. Zion M. E. Church, Twenty-ninth Street, during the absence of the regular pastor. The summer rally of Ebenezer A. M. E. Church was one of the best under Rev. Naylor. Over $200 was realized. Rev. E. E. Ricks and his congregation will go to Annapolis, Md., on August 27, for a day's outing.
