Closing Session of This Great Gathering of Baptists — Interesting Speeches and Much Good Work Accomplished—Rev. Aquila Sayles —Mass Meeting Monday Night Largely Attended—Rev, Norman's Great Speech in Demand. The closing session of the General Baptist Association at the Providence Baptist Church, M Street between Four-and-a-half and Sixth Streets Northwest, held its closing session last Monday night. Many good speeches and sermons were delivered. The Providence Baptist Church is one of the most convenient and most accommodating buildings in the city. The mass meeting held last Monday night was largely attended by the people. Many speeches were delivered, which were interesting. The dinners that were served by the ladies of the church were conducted by Mrs. C. E. Sayles, the pastor's wife. These meals and the entire Ladies' Committee deserve special mention and commendation. Editor and Lawyer W. Calvin Chase was introduced and delivered a short address. He was enthusiastically welcomed. JOHN W. HARRIS The general Baptist Association of the District of Columbia and vicinity, Dr. M. W. D. Norman, moderator, which opened on the 4th inst. at the Providence Baptist Church, M Street between Four and One-half and Sixth Streets Southwest, Dr. A. Sayles, pastor, closed with a great mass meeting at said church Monday night: The subject for discussion was "How to Best Unify and Utilize All of the Baptist Forces in the District of Columbia." The opening address was made by Mr. Jos. H. Curtis, owing to the absence of Dr. J. H. Lee, who was appointed to make the principal speech. Rev. F. W. Dixon, Dr. W. J. Howard, Dr. A. M. REV.

The association unanimously voted to meet on the fifth Sunday in THE FEDERAL CONFERENCE ON THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC. Ministers of the General Baptist Association and a few of their friends at the Providence Baptist Church, M Street, between Four-and-a-Half and Sixth Streets Southwest, on the occasion of their three days session. These are among the leading Baptist ministers in the District of Columbia, whose three day session developed great good for the Baptist denomination in the District of Columbia. P.

The meeting is looked forward to with much interest by the members of the association, as it will be the first meeting held by the association for the purpose of assisting in the rally of a church. The Bee will watch this effort with keen interest and will report the results of the meeting. The object is a most worthy one and the Bee would like to see this the greatest meeting in the history of the association. The association adjourned to meet in its fourth annual session. Wednesday before the third Sunday, 1915, with the Bethlehem Baptist Church, Anacostia, D. C., Rev. Jos. Mathews, pastor. The members of Providence Baptist Church, under the direction of Rev. Sayles, deserve great credit. Over 500 at dinner were served. Rev. Aguila Sayles, the pastor of Providence Baptist Church, was born November 29, 1863, in Caroline County, Virginia. He was brought to Washington, D. C., by his parents in 1867 and attended public school for seven years at the Randall Building, southwest. Miss Annie V. Thompkins and Miss Randall were some of his first teachers. He attended private school for four years under the late Rev. S. J. R. Nelson, D. D. He studied for three years with Prof. Wiswall, two years with Dr. Wiswall Creditt, two years in the evening class at Howard University, and two years in the day class, graduating in 1901. He was pastor of Mt Olive Baptist Church, Arlington, Va. for eight years, and resigned from the church and recommended Rev. Frank Washington to the church, of which he was pastor for four years. He was the originator and one of the organizers of the Evening Class at Howard University through the influence and recommendation of Dr. William A. Creditt, pastor of the African Baptist Church, Philadelphia, Pa., and the kindness of the late Dr. Rankins of Howard University. The D. D. degree was conferred upon him by Howard University in 1911 for work accomplished. He has successfully served as pastor of the Providence Baptist Church for the past ten years. He has bought a beauti- WASHINGTON,!

Dr. Sayles is president of the Stoddard Baptist Home. Not a better man could be at the head of such an institution. By Rev. M. W. D. Norman, D. D. LL.D. Moderator of the General Baptist Association. Brother Vice Moderator, Delegates, Brethren and Sisters: Divine Providence has permitted us to meet in the third annual session of the General Baptist Association in this elegant meeting house to review the activities of the past year and plan wisely, I hope and believe, for future operations along all lines of religious and moral endeavor. The churches of this city have done nobly in so far as their own particular interests are concerned—the paying of debts, improvement of church properties and increase in numbers; but in my opinion, have not done so well as a sisterhood and that in the face of obvious needs near our own doors—not to mention other urgent and reasonable demands upon our great denomination. It is certainly unfortunate, to say the least, that the many strong churches and able pastors in the Capital City of the Nation are not together in one grand and potent body fostering and protecting the vast interests of our churches and setting an example of Christian unification which would be especially helpful to each and all. The colored Baptists in the District, numbering more than all the other colored evangelical denominations together here, if united in one association through which the churches might do their mission and educational work, would greatly improve not only our own people here and elsewhere, but advance our standard as a powerful denomination and exert a greater force in the moral and religious life of the community—a far greater force, in my opinion, than is possible to do, however efficient and well equipped our individual churches may be, under existing circumstances. Indeed, our churches, big and lit- HAMPTON VS. HOWARD Foot Ball Great CHAMPIONSHIP Contest Thanksgiving Day November 26, 1914 2:30 P. M. HowardUniversityCampus ADMISSION 50 CTS- tle, representing in one association would make a profound impression upon the religious life of the District and be in itself an unmistakable evidence of the presence of the Holy Ghost among us and would certainly have the approbation of Him who prayed "that they all may be one; as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me." The fraternal and secret societies in the District of Columbia have their District organizations for the furtherance of their society life. The white brethren have one association through which the denominational work is directed and chauffered. Why not the Negro Baptists? Our denomination stands for independence, it is true, but not as independence that spells disunion, disintegration, and destruction. The liberty for which we have always contended is liberty which makes toleration with ourselves always possible and the sacrifice and repudiation of our terets and doctrines in order to enjoy the favors and co-operation of others, always impossible: The baptist preachers are responsible in a large measure for the dissatisfaction occurring in our ranks. We have, of course, our little tricks, selfish ambitions, and petty notions, which tend to keep us in different camps denominationally, thereby, of ten preventing the best results and therefore to the detriment of the cause. But we see signs of improvement along this line and the wrongs will some day be righted and the old Baptist ship, with Jesus on board, flying the flag of righteousness bearing the inscription, "One Lord, one faith, one baptism," will make, harbor in due season. So "let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." So, then, as we have opportunity, let us work that which is good toward all men, especially toward them that are of the household of faith." Theological Seminary and Education. This is a great field for the Baptist Association. The needs of such an organization composed of all of our churches are clearly evident. Many worthy objects, now woefully neglected, would be easily maintained if we had our forces harnessed. It is true that we are doing well, but we can and should do vastly more. In many of the Southern States the associations foster academies, make large contributions to missions, employ missionaries to build up destitute places and are exceedingly helpful in many ways to the churches in general. My brethren, we should, by all means, have a school of theology here in which our young men who desire the "office of a bishop," could get training in the tenets and doctrines MISS MOTEN COMPLIMENTED. Simple School Dress Not New to the Normal Principal. We, the class of 1915 of the Matilda Minor Normal School, desire to say, in answer to the article in the Washington Herald on "School Simplicity," that our worthy principal, Dr. Lucy E. Moten, is an advocate of simple school dress. This is not a new idea, for it has been emphasized by our principal since she first became head of the school thirty years ago, as her former graduates will testify. When our class entered the school, September 21, 1913, we were cordially greeted and escorted to the lecture hall to receive our first lecture, the subject of which was, "Simple School Dress." From that time to the present we have had edifying and profitable talks on dress as an ornament and dress as a decoration dress to make the person appear more beautiful. It can be clearly seen that this subject is not a new idea, but that it is an old one in Normal No. 2, being brought more prominently before the public, and dress when employed for its own display, which Miss Moten declares is coarse and vulgar. We have always had to wear white wash shirt waists and dark, plain, full skirts; low-heeled shoes; no jewelry; hair simply dressed—in short, wear a business woman's outfit during school hours. Miss Moten believes and lives and teaches that manners and morals are of as great intrinsic value in the education of the young as is intellectual development. We all love and respect our principal for the high ideals that she has given us. Martha Harris, President, Enoch G. Gray, Vice President, Martha Watson, Secretary, Julia Pride, Treasurer, Class of 1915. of the church and thus be prepared to defend at all times and under all circumstances the faith that is in them; the faith once delivered to the saints. The rare advantages of the immense public libraries and the able ministers of all denominations who fill the leading pulpits of the Capital City, would also afford to observant and tractable students living and worthy examples of Hermeneutics as well as bonnets. I truly hope some day, not far distant, that the Baptists will WOMEN ALLAY WAR BITTERNESS Red Gross Head Foresees New Work For Them. THEY PAY A BIG PRICE. Must Stay at Home and Suffer Torture of Silence While’ Loved Ones Aro Fighting In Trenches—Miss Board- man Favors Formation of a Non- political Women's Party. ‘Washington.—It was at a session of a fashionable housemaids’ sewing cir- cle. The little French maid bad been saying explosive things about the Ger- mang in her mother tongue. When she subsided another housemaid ventured to say that she wanted the hospital supplies which she was thePsewing to be forwarded to England only, Right there the little French maid exploded again. “Humanity knows no nutionality,” she said In a flush. “These things shall go to all nations.” This anecdote was related by Miss Mabel Boardnmin, active head of the American Hed Cross, to illustrate the part women are pluying in the war andthe spirit ther should manifest to make thelr fufuence the strongest. “The {dea that humanity knows uo nationality.” she sald. “Is the thing that is making wowen strong iu this war. Women's ministration on the battlefleld and woman's ald at home mean that after this great war Is over there is golug to be a better Interna- tional spirit.

There will be naught but praise for the ‘enemy’ and largely because of the women. “Then, tov, women are spreading the spirit of charity. They are taking the human element to the battlefields, and they are preventing many soldiers from feeling that they must retaliate for actual or fancied atrocities of the enemy. That is what I call the wo- man’s influence on the moral questions involved in war” But the woman fs paying a terrible price, Miss Boardnuin declared. She must stay at home while loved ones are Sighting In the trenches. She must suffer the torture of silence or worse —the torture of knowing that her loved ‘ones have,been killed or wounded. “Woman has been called the great- est victim of war,” Miss Boardman sald. “It is all too true. She is the greatest victim of the present strug- gle.” 3 But woman's part in the svorld after the war fs over can be more Influcn- tial than ever, Miss Boardman held. She favored formation of “a nonpoliti- cal women’s party." which would deal with affairs not involving business ‘or politics, . , “Sueb a party.” she sald, “could lend its Influence toward permanent peace —and {ts induence would be one of the strongest influences to maintain this. ‘The individual and the mass must be educated to abbor war, to be willing to submit to arbitration and to have a sort of world politics, and women can play their part in fostering this spirit heresfter.” > HENS LOCATE GOLF BALLS.

Atlanta, Ga—Arthur Bender, who Uves near the East Lake golf links and ralser chickens. has about decided to more or fo out of the poultry business. Golf bas wrecked the chicken ranch. Bender has some old hens with the setting habit, They would set on door knobs or anything that looked like an ers. He hid everything of that kind on the place. Then the hens climbed through the fence and got to waltins around on No, 11 green.

Paris.—In the waiting room of the great railway terminus in Paris wounded soldiers were Iald out on straw, waiting to be taken to the hos- pital. Eight of them were badly burt, and some were evidently not long for this world. One of them seemed to be very un- easy. A nurse went up to him and offered to arrange bis bandages, but he zald, “I want a confessor very badly.” “Is there a priest here?’ asked the nurse. Just then another soldier lying mor- tally wounded plucked the nurse by the sleeve. “Madam,” he said, “1 am @ priest. 1 can give him absolution. Carry me to him.” ‘The nurse hesitated. The second soldier was suffering from the effects of a horrible shell wound, and the least movement gave him excruciating pain, But again the feeble voice sald: “You are of the faith, and you know the price of a soul, What ls one more hour of life compared with that?” And the soldier raised himself by a su- preme effort to go to the side of his comrade. But the effort was vain; he had to be carried. ‘The confession did not take long, and the strength of the soldier-priest was ebbing rapidly away. When the time came to give absolution he made a sig- nal to the nurse. “Help me to give the sign,” he sald. : ‘The nurse held up his arm while this ‘was being done. Death followed quick- ly for the priest and his penitent. ‘They died hand in hand, while the ‘nurse and the ambulance men fell on ‘their knees on elther side of them, RARD LUCK AND THEN SOME. — Nine Deaths, Two Bank Failures, Shooting and Hines Delay Court Case.

The sequence of mishaps follows: r Bince the charge was made elght wit- meases for the defense have died; Fox's mother died, halting the trial tor several days; the failure of the La Balle street bank involved a consider- able deposit of Fox’s; the failure of a Racine bank took more money from him.

GURKHAS’ EXPLOIT AT NIGHT. Up Ammunition Park. London.—The Dally Mall's corre- spondent in Paris describes how the Gurkhas (native Indian troops) blew up a German ammunition park, thus causing some of the German coast bat- terles to move to the rear. He says: “All the efforts of the allles’ artil- lery against these batteries had been unavailing and the Germans were causing severe losses when the air scouts located: the ammunition stores Seven miles behind the German lines. “At night the Gurkha detachment em- barked on gunboats, which proceeded to the mouth of the Yser, und after a long, silent march thi¥iurkhas reach- ed the German ammunition steres, guarded by six sentries. Six silent figures moved toward them, each car. rying a Jong knife. Then a sound, like the croaking of a frog, was heard, and the six sentries disappeared. “Shortly afterward the general staff of the allles saw a great flash of light on the horizon and heard a great ex- plosion, followed by countless others, as the shells and shrapnel in thelt cases exploded in all directions. The Gurkhas returned safely to the gun: boats.” ROLLED PIANO IN STREETS. Night, and She Got It.

Her distress was so apparent that some one. sought the manager. The latter called up a plano store, trusting there might be somebody there he knew. As it happened there was.

It was explainéd that it was unusual to send planos out af night. “Can't you put ft on rollers?” asked the manager. “I'll send enough porters to push {t here.” And It was done. Reaches tha Earth In Ropes and Fibrous Masses, Healdsburg. Cal—A remarkable fall from the Leuvens of large quantities of what is described as meteorle tloss took place here, The shower, which began between’7 and 8 a. m. and reached its maximum about 10 o'clock, was seen by all the Inuabitants of the town. According to sin eyewitness, the ma- terial appeared high In the beavens In a clear sky as a mass af stars, lustrous metallle sheets und silvery ropes. It reached the earth In various shapes and sizes. ranging from minute partt- cles to sheets twenty feet square. It fell in such quantities that long ropes and wasses of It hung from the tele- Phone and telegraph wires. When the substance reached the warm earth jt began at once to con- tract Into fibrous masses resembling flossy asbestos, though tests proved that it was not that mineral. Most of It soon disippéared, though samples were saved and sent to Director Camp- bell of the Lick ‘observatory and to Professor Tito Alippl, director of the observatory at Urbino, Italy.

ODAY'S lesson deals with the q special sifting which came to St. Peter'at the time of our Lord's death, and of whieb be was forewarned by Jesus, saying. “St- mon, bebold Satan bath destred to bave you, that he may sift you as wheat; but I have prayed for you, tbat your faith fail not.” St. Peter’s courage was bis weak point. Notwithstanding all that Jesus bad said to warn bim, he realized no fear. Hence he did com- paratively little watching and pray- ing. and his very self-confidence ted his undoing for a time. His Hour Had Come. Temptations come in an insidious form. We cannot imagine that at the time when St. Peter cut off the ear of the hizh priest's servant he bud any sympathy with the thought of denying our Lord. But circumstances and con- ditions had changed. The Master was taken prisoner. Whatever power He had previously exercised whereby He walked away from His enemies, and they could not take Him because His “hour bad not yet come.” shat pow er He evidently was not ‘exercising now — His bour had come. To see bis Master appar- ently without frends In Heaven. delivered over to His enemies and led from ove tri- bunal to the other, had a paralyzing effect upon St. Pe- ter. His courage oozed out. ae ia St. Jobo had St, Peter Vowing 4ue- such an acquaint- ‘glance. ance with some one connected with the palace that he was permitted to enter the court and bring St. Peter with bim: but they had separated. St. Peter was fn the courtyard. It was cold, and be approached an open bra- zier to warm himself. In the light of the court, surrounded by the gossiping servants of the palace, he was keenly scrutinized by one of the maids, wh sald, “Thou art also a disciple of ie Nazarene.” Stunned by the {dentitication ald wondering to what it might lead.

The Masters Words Fulfilled. | Terrible! we say. And surely St Peter felt afterward that it was ter- rible; for just at that thme, the etrly morning, came the beginning of ycock- crowing, and he remembered the{Sas- ter’s words, that Satan bad desir to alft him as wheat: and ¢hat befor: the cock crew, he would bave deniqd his Master three times. ‘ The whole matter came ufon bim with crashing force; and, svrapping bis cloak about bis head. he hasteted away into the darkness. weenlng bit- terly; for just about the time that the cock crew, Jesus was ted forth not far from him; and as he looked at Jesus, the Muster lifted up bis eyes and looked at St. Peter.

The smoke of the recent political battle has cleared away and we may now postulate the significance of the issue. Certain it is that a most remarkable change has come over the convictions of voters the country over, excepting, of course, those of the "solid South," to whom may be aptly applied the old saw that they "never forget anything and never learn anything." As for the majority of the thinking masses, the recent elections clearly indicate that a Congress of the United States does not mean a body of legislators the sole duty of each of whom is to conserve the interests of the particular district from which he may hail, but a lawmaking body committed primarily and emphatically to the procurement of the greatest good to the greatest number, without regard to section, race or color. When it was made clearly manifest that the Democratic Congress had been bulldozed into a policy of gross indifference to the interests of the majority and an overmastering flunkeyism and extravagant patronage of Southern interests, to the neglect and damage of the welfare of other sections, it is not at all surprising that the disgust and indignation of the country reached their climax. The recklessness with which the Democrats whittled away the revenue from a hitherto amply productive tariff bill, their failure to make their vaunting true, to the effect that they would see that the prices of the necessaries of life were reduced to a living basis; their wholesale persecution of business combinations, the monetary fizzle, the folly and wickedness of segregation schemes, the crawling and fawning before King Cotton while defiant toward the demands of producer of sugar, wheat and corn; the "black hand" of race discrimination touching federal appointments; and, above all, the slavish "sheep nosing" at the heels of an Executive whose head is filled with high-sounding isms andologies and whose public pronouncements about the "psychology" of political situation and the "supreme glory of American institutions" as presently administered have taken on a Utopian, if not a phrasical cast—these and many more such like inequalities, blunders and irregularities have produced the present hand-writing on the wall which prophesies the early rout of the combined forces of Democracy and the attenuated remnant of the imaginary hero of Esdraelón. How stands the case? Recent returns develop that the Democratic majority in the House of nearly 200 was cut down to a bare margin of less than 25, while the slashing of the Bull Moose contingent was no less. Had this been a presidential election, the standard-bearer of the Republican Party would have been elected by an electoral college majority of not less than 63 and probably of 87. This would have been highly satisfactory; but unless all signs fail, two years from now will find Indiana, Kansas and Maryland in the Republican column, increasing the electoral majority to 96 at the lowest. Moreover, long ere two years have rolled around the next House, through its Democratic majority, will have so emphasized its utter incompetency as to insure an overwhelming Republican Congress. Nor has this been a political victory in which the colored voters have not tremendously figured. As usual, they were quick to see the danger flag and hasten to right things to the utmost of their political strength. The colored voters in New York, Ohio, W. Va., Illinois and New England did yeoman service for the Republican party and to them is due the credit of being instrumental in electing several Congressmen and perhaps Governors. It seems, after all, notwithstanding the herculean efforts of the Democrats to insure the contrary, that the colored brother is not to be entirely eliminated from politics. The immense increase in the colored vote at the North demonstrates that there is a most effectual way of escaping perpetual disfrianchement, and that is by leaving the South and increasing the ranks of their colored brethren who have all along fought for the rights of the colored man everywhere so bravely, persistently and disinterestedly. This is a most encouraging sign and clearly indicates that there will always be an opening for those who are determined upon obtaining their full manhood rights. Judging from the "iron hand" which is being wielded at the South against the recognition of the rights of the colored people, emigration on the part of the more manly and intelligent colored people of the South seems the only sure relief from political thraldom. Boston, New York, Chicago and other Democratic strongholds would be less hurtful to the cause of human rights were thousands of brave colored men from the South to locate in these places. By this means political freedom at the South would be assured the interests of colored labor greatly enhanced and the entire status of the race immensely improved. The question has been recently asked, "What has become of the Democratic or Independent movement among the colored people?" But for the impertinence of certain white folk and a number of silly colored individuals, this question would never have been asked. The answer is just what became of the white Independents and hosts of white Democrats. They say that the country was going to ruin in these times of peace and good crops, not however, without the possibility of war becoming daily more and more imminent by reason of the incompetence of the party in power, and concluded to change the current of events before it became eternally too late. This is a compliment to them, richly deserved. It does not indicate a return to bossism and political fetishism, but the highest order of manliness and good judgment. This accounts for the terrific falling off in the Bull Moose vote in Illinois and Pennsylvania and New York and New Jersey. And the colored Independents are to be congratulated on their change of alignment, though it is to be hoped that they may continue to adjust their support to the temper and policies and substantial patronage of those and those only who stand for equal and exact justice to all. Should full credit for party support be denied the colored people, manhood and the instinct of self-pre-ervation suggest that corresponding change in political advances be made. I may be too late but the signs point plainly to the stern necessity, that the Democrats have a care how they treat the colored citizen. That abominable quartet of Tillman, Vardaman, Smith and Helfin must cease its catawailing or it will soon be "all over but the shouting." IN ANY EVENT The Richmond Evening Journal has started anew the old game of advocating the displacement of colored labor at the South by the introduction of hundreds of thousands of Belgians who are now refugees in Holland and England. At present there seems to be widespread sympathy for this unfortunate class of Europeans, a feeling which reflects great credit upon all civilized humanity, of whom the colored people of this country form no insignificant portion. The horror and devastation so prevalent in Belgium are enough to arouse the pity and instinct of helpfulness, but not exploitation for political purposes. We do not think that the South really wants European immigrants to replace the colored laboring element. The plan has been tried over and over again, not really in earnest, but to make the North believe that the colored people are undesirable and in fact a bugbear and a burden on the Southern body politic. But the North saw through the flimsy pretext. In our opinion, the white South does not want to part with the elective force they have been able to filch from the colored people at so little expense, much less with the immense advantages they have been able to derive from the unprotected condition of colored labor. Without doubt, no other people would stand so demurely, for the high handed injustice such as are heaped on the colored people, and the wily Southron knows it only too well. If it be true, or in probable prospect, that there is to be a movement to get rid of colored labor at the South, it is time that said element were looking about for a more welcome field of labor. While it does not present a very bright prospect to contemplate the introduction of hundreds of thousands of pauper Europeans into the Southland, yet it might be providential that the war has taken place, if for no other purpose than to demonstrate before the incorrigible South the unwisdom of tyrannizing over an element historically most friendly afd patient and taking into its bosom an element not to be trifled with in either labor or political matters. In the overcrowded state of labor at the South it is not to be doubted either that, under the proposed introduction of Belgian labor, the labor conditions are to grow severely worse or that the colored brother is to be so treated as to be practically driven from home. It might not be the worst thing to take the Southern white people at their word, whether they mean it or not, and thus display the spirit of independence and perhaps incidentally a wise disposition of the matter. There are hundreds and thousands of farmers in Ohio, Illinois and the Northwest who would welcome sober, intelligent and industrious colored laborers; indeed, there is at BENE NOTA The statement of Mr. William J, Harris, director of the U.S.Census, made before the Southern Medical Association at Richmond, Va., the other day, that since 1907 500,000 immigrants with an average wealth of $1,000 each have gone to Canada who might have settled in the South, but for what he termed the "slander" that it is an unhealthy country, is significant as indicating the temper and desires of the Southern white people. That the reports regarding the climatic conditions is a "slander" very tew will doubt, for generally speaking there is no more healthy place in the world, when due regard to sanitary regulation is observed. But it is not this "slander" that is the main deterrent. It is rather that foolish and unsustained assumption of superiority over all others; and the petty tyrannies which originated and were fostered under a system of slavery and continued until today in the various discriminatory means principally affecting honest labor and political rights, as exemplified in the treatment of colored labor that has kept the flow of immigration from the South. Were a better feeling displayed toward the laboring element now resident in that section, the South inight indeed feel slighted, but, under present conditions, it should not be at all surprising. Nevertheless, the complaint in itself constitutes an unerring indication of how sonic Southern people are thinking and hoping. It indicates that there is a movement to replace colored labor by white labor; and, this being true, it behooves the colored people to bestir themselves, to ascertain just what is in this movement and to act accordingly. If the movement is of any consequence, self-interest would suggest such a flow of emigration from the South as would at least relieve labor congestion, which is already abnormal and threatening, consequent upon the introduction of any considerable number of foreign immigrants. The opinions of some colored so-called leaders to the contrary, a more diffuse colored population throughout the country would work a benefit in more ways than one. We have no plans to suggest, but we conjure our colored brethren at the South to have a care, lest we may be found in the "soup" when it is entirely too late. GET BUSY. Recently The Bee suggested a mechanics directory for the information of those colored and whites who might desire to employ colored mechanics. Some interest has been stimulated, but not of a general character. As winter approaches there will be a demand for such work as plumbing, gas-fitting, furnace and stove repairing and labor of like character. It may not be generally known that among general machinists are such young men as Mr. Albert Raymond and others who can do anything in their line as well as can the white mechanics who advertise and therefore are best known. If the mechanics of color will take an active interest in the matter. The Bee will make it as easy as the circumstances and its ability will permit. We hail the time when our young mechanics will appreciate the value of advertisement and thus procure more work and stimulate increased interest in other colored men to enter the more remunerative and scientific trades. THE NEGRO IN 1916. There is a great deal being said now about the coming together of the Republican party in 1916. There is being nothing said about the colored vote or the abolition of the nefarious laws that have been passed by Democratic legislatures in the South. No party can successfully succeed without giving every citizen his full recognition of citizenship. The colored Americans in 1916 will not be the fool as he was in 1912. He will not follow false gods and false doctrine and false issues. He will look to his own interest and support measures and principles that will redown to his interest and the interest of his country. He cannot expect anything from the South. There are some good Democrats in this country. All Democrats are not alike. The South will be the utter ruination of the Democratic party. The doctrines that are, promulgated by Southern representatives put that section of the country in an embarrassing position throughout the civilized world. The cry of parties in this country about atrocities being perpetrated upon Christians in other countries is foolish. The colored voters in 1916 will watch their surroundings and vote wisely for men and measures. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac ) When the war put a crimp in the cotton demand, some cracker in the South started the "buy a bale of cotton" movement. Then out West, seeing that the apple crop was going to be a bumper with no place to go for disposal, them westerners started the "buy a barrel of apples." Then your Uncle Booker T., who never gets lost in any shuffle, gets himself in print by starting the "raise a pig" movement. If this European war lasts many months longer, I expect to hear my old college chum, Dr. Bud Gaskins, start a "pull a tooth" movement, Dr. Mitchell start a "amputate a leg" movement, Aaron Gaskins start a "buy a drink" movement, and William Calvin and the other hazy complexion lawyers bring up the rear with a "sue somebody" movement. A selected list of celebrities, discussing odds and ends down at Jim Gray's last Tuesday, while sumptuously dining on a ten-cent lunch, were of the opinion that a "get together" movement, if started conjointly by Armond Scott and Will Houston, might get as far as first base. I wonder if Armond and Houston ever will do the lion and lamb stunt? Henry Slaughter is pessimistic on it: Tom Jones has his doubts about it, and the last time I talked with Attorney Royal Hughes, he said it was dollars to Japanese contracts that the millennium might be delayed a few centuries because of a failure of Armond and Bill to agree on an initiative and referendum. The papers announced the other day a new fashion in women's hosiery had been brought to New York by returning American women from Europe—an American flag woven into the hose just above the ankle. Immediately the Flag association set up a holler, styling it a desecration of the American flag. Well, I never thought our chocolate bon-bons would snatch the style up with alacity, but to my surprise, as I was coming over Vermont Avenue last Sunday I saw a pair of "golddust twins" coming over T Street, with skirts elevated to the calf of their legs—and they had a swell pair of calves, let me tell you, showing a one-by-two American flag stitched on to their hose about half way between the ankle and knee. I almost collapsed when I saw it, and a party of white swells in a big Packard touring car, on seeing it, slowed up to view the procession of American flags at half-mast on a pair of licorice-colored legs. There is no use in talking, any time they rush out a style thinking Mr. and Mrs. Ham won't confiscate it, they have simply got another guess coming. When it comes to imitating the pale faces, "we are the people." Fred McCracken is always nosing around the Public Document room to get a hold of data that will help along this "race uplift" movement. I like to hand a deserving fellow a small bunch of forget-me-nots once in a while, and Fred deserves a whole conservatory for his energy in being on the firing line. I was talking to him the other day, over in the Negro art gallery—McMullin's barber shop—and he rattled off a lot of dope if the N. A. A. C. P. would only get and use my hat this race uplift movement' around at least as far as third base, where it might get home on a safe hit by the N. A. A. C. P. And then McMullin is such a willing worker. He just loves to do something to help somebody. Mehbe when he go to handing out celluloid medals for race-devotion, some fellow that is a member of the Medal Decorative Society will filch one for that little high-brown who hails from St. Paul and is down in the Blue Book as Fred MacCracken. Fred is a rear-statesman that comes nearer to being a real asset for good than most of these fellows who break into the presidential appointive jobs. Can he talk? Why, man, he can talk faster than Wyatt Archer can hesitate, and let me promise you that's going some. If they ever start a movement "reward somebody," Fred MacCracken will get his. Coming out of the colored bank on Eleventh Street Saturday evening, I observed a couple of dieties looking at Ware's shoes, from the outside. Stepping up to look also, but unobserved by them, I heard one of them say: "Did you ever buy any shoes here? " "No." was the reply, "K-always go to — down on F Street. Did you ever buy here? " "No," the first said, "I have always bought mine down at — It just occurred to me that here Ware is giving employment to colored salesmen, trying to get our trade, and selling good shoes, while we rush down town to buy at some fancy store that don't cater for our trade. They do a lot of talking about patronizing the race here, but when it comes to suiting the action to the word we ain't in it. I was mighty glad to hear Chase give a boost to Ware, and hope others will do the same. And while you are boosting Ware by patronizing him, spend a few dimes and dollars with the other colored merchants strung out on You Street. Get busy in this "get together" movement. Just fall heir to a bunch of coin that's tainted by the way it was accumulated, or learn to dance the hesitation or get busy in charity work, and you are handed a passport that will admit you into the so-called exclusive colored society. Washington n't near as restrictive as it use to be when I was a boy around here, and when the "Old Cits" passed on your eligibility. As Bill Chase said to me, "It does seem as if the interlopers had taken the bit into their mouth and run away with society. It use to require a name to get into Washington society, when Ned Savoy and myself used to gambol on the green some twenty-five or thirty years ago. But times do change. CHAS. WHITMAN Govern-elect, Is Choice of Colored Republican Leaders of New York for President in 1916—Gilchrist Stewart, Chairman of Republican Club of New York State, Ask Colored Voters of Country to Watch Whitman's Record. (Special to The Beg.) New York. Nov. 8.—In the remarkable Republican landslide, which occurred on last Tuesday, there was one happening of particular importance to the colored voters of the country and to the colored Republican leaders of the South, who will be delegates to the next Republican National Convention. District Attorney Chas. S. Whitman, of New York City, who has a national reputation, was elected governor of the Empire state in a fierce contest with Theodore Roosevelt. While the fight was under the surface, yet the result of the contest was looked upon by the farseeing Republican politicians of the East as determining which should be New York's favorite son and choice for the Presidency two years hence, Whitman or Roosevelt. Mr. Whitman not only decisively beat Mr. Roosevelt, who had stumped every portion of the state against him, but relegated his party to third place. In commenting upon this, Mr. Gilchrist Stewart, of New York City, and who is well known all over the country as chairman of the Colored Republican Club of New York, and who conducted the work among the colored voters, said: Is Sound on the Color Line Is Sound on the Color Line "Mr. Whitman's election as Governor of the state of New York is of vital importance to the Negro race throughout the country. It means the dawning of a brighter political future. It brings upon the horizon a character who is as sound on the "color line" as Lincoln, and who has the bulldog tenacity of Theodore Roosevelt. He is a radical without being ultra so, having the confidence of the conservative business interests. He appeals to the progressive sentiment of the country, because he does not believe in injustice of any kind; and at the same time he is a strong organization Republican. He just fills the bill in every way for the next Republican nomination and I am anxious for my friends, all over the country and especially in those states in the South, where the colored men will control the delegation to the next National Republican Convention, to intently watch his career and record as Governor. There is not a man in the country who could be better suited for our interests to have in the nomination against Woodrow Wilson, than Governor Chas. S. Whitman." JOS. C. MANNING Leads Republican Ticket in Alabama —He Was Named by the Republican Convention—While He is in the North, Opponent of Disfranchisement Is Being Voted for by Alabama Republicans. (Birmingham Evening News, Birmingham, Ala. Nov. 3, 1914) Reports from city voting places in the general election Tuesday received up to noon indicate a very light vote and little interest. There appears to be little "scratching" of tickets. There is no question of the election of all Democratic nominees in Jefferson County. The Republican legislative ticket is as follows: W. H. McEniry, for the State Senate; for Representative, W. P. Hubhard, T. U. Bass, J. W. Brigham, J. H. Castleman, J. E. Compton, W. F. Bolin, Joseph C. Manning. (Special.) Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 3.—While Hon. Joseph C. Manning is in New England arousing Northern public sentiment against the methods of the Southern Democracy, he is being voted for and leading the ticket as a Republican nominee for the Alabama Legislature. Manning did not seek the re-nomination. In fact, he was absent from the county and was nominated without his knowledge. Although not present in the preliminary party meetings, he was selected as a delegate to the county, congressional district, and state Republican Convention, and today is the foremost citizen among the Republican nominees for the Legislature. Young Men's Christian Association. A large and appreciative audience listened to musical renditions by the Y. M. C. A. Orchestra last Thursday evening at its first public concert. Messrs.

There was an appreciative audience at the Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church last Sunday afternoon. The occasion was a musical and literary concert. Mrs. Mary Day was the director. The committee was Misses A. V. and Mary E. Shorter and Maggie E. Janifer. The exercises began with congregational singing. Invocation was by Rev. W. A. Battle. A very pretty cornet solo was rendered by Mr. W. Calvin Chase, Jr. He was loudly applauded. Madam Slader rendered two literary recitations. Miss Beatrice L. Chase rendered very artistically a piano solo. Miss Chase is one of the most accomplished pianists and musicians in this city. Dr. Marie B. Lucas, a recent graduate from the Howard Musical School, delivered a most scholarly address on health. It was eloquent as well as logical. Miss E. V. Campbell rendered a very fine selection, which was appreciated. Several musical selections were rendered by the Boy Scouts Orchestra. Mr. F. Gibbs and Mr. Harry Ferguson rendered vocal selections. The entire program was well received. Bethel Literary. Literary Washington turned our Tuesday night to hear Dr. Lemuel V. Livingston, U. S. Consul of Cape Haitien, Haiti, on the subject of Haiti. Dr. Livingston hopes to arouse deeper interest of the American Negro. Among those who discussed the paper were Prof. L. M. Hershaw, Mr. Maxfield, and Lawyer Joseph H. Stewart Dr. Livingston and Editor Fortune enrolled as members of the Literary. He gave several questions on Haiti, which he hopes will be discussed at some time before Bethel Literary. Music was furnished by Miss Holland Mann, of Jacksonville, Fla., and Mr. James Wright. Among the members of the Florida Club present were: Miss Holland Mann, Dr. Elias G. Evans, Dr. Sikas S. Thompson, Mr. Richmond Milton, Mr. R. L. Penilleton, Mr Solon Harry and Mr. Gregory Shaed. Didn't Work. Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 10—When Henry Jackson, an old colored man, attempted to vote in the southern section of Camden Tuesday, he was challenged on the ground that he had previously given a different name for his father and mother. He appealed to Judge Boyle and explained that while he was a slave in the South in 1859, he learned that he was to be sold and he escaped from the plantation. He then assumed the name of Jackson, the name of his master's coachman, to avoid detection. The court ordered the election board to accept the vote. The old man took the court that he remembered distinctly the execution of John Brown at Harper's Ferry, Va., in 1861. John Henry Johnson was employed to cut down the weeds on the old St. Dayid's Church property at Radnor, a suburb of the city. In doing so he was badly poisoned by coming in contact with ivy. He did not return to finish the job, and when the rector hunted him up he found him at home with a badly swollen head. He said: "Dat's what cones f'm disturbin' de dead people. I know it ain't right, an' dis is what I gets fur. I wouldn't pass dat church at night—indeed. I wouldn't. One night not long ago I went by dence, an' I saw light comin' through de cracks de ob shutters, an' a long row ob spooks comin' out ob de front dore. I tell you sah, I run till I was out ob breath. An' you'll neber catch me travelin' dat way at night a'gin." The rector tried to assure him that the "spooks" were only members of the choir returning home after rehearsal, but John Henry Johnson was convinced that the dead in that particular graveyard were in the habit of holding high revels in the church after dark. Lottie Teeman. 23 years old, dropped dead Wednesday night at her home. 1022 Poplar Street. Simpson M. E. Church. Dr. R. E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, preached for rev. W.

Wigginton Holds a Meeting. Mrs. M. F. Wigginton, principal of the Brontwood colored school, held a very enthusiastic patrons' and teachers' meeting at her school house November 8. The pastors of the churches of the community were present. Of those present from other communities were Prof. James F. Armstrong, LL. B., supervising principal of the colored schools of Bruce George's County, Maryland; Mrs. Ada Armstrong and Superintendent Frank Coalman. U. S. a. retired. Addresses were made by Prof. Armstrong, the supervisor, Sergeant Frank Coalman. Mrs. Wigginton and others. Among other things, Prof. Armstrong spoke of the desire of the School Board at Upper Marlboro to ain't the colored school of Prince Georges County and urged loyalty and co operation by all who are connected in any way with the school system. Sergeant F. Coalman spoke of the duty of the patrons to co-operate with the teachers and of the progress made along educational lines. Mrs. Wigginton spoke of her work and showed a great interest in the community as well as in other sections of the county. After the meeting Mrs. Wigginton invited the supervisor, Mrs. Ada Armstrong, and Sergeant Coalman around to her beautiful home, where they found the dining table laden with, edibles of the finest kind, among which were potato salad, crackers, cocoa, Nabiscoos, pickles, sandwiches, small cakes, pound cakes, fruits of various kinds. The table was tastefully dressed. There were also present Mrs. Groce. J. Bryant, Miss Jackson, Mr. Jackson, Mr. and Mrs. Harrod. WOODVILLE, MD. Rev. R. F. Coates, pastor of the M. E. congregations at and near Woodville, is doing an excellent work. He and his good wife, Mrs. R. F. Coates, are filled with the Spirit of the Blessed Redeemer. They are both going about doing all the good they can and making the world better for their having lived. Since being there Rev. R. F. Coates has remodeled one church and made it a credit to Woodville and Methodism. He has built from the ground up a beautiful church. He has also purchased for the church nine acres of good land and erected thereon a beautiful parsonage of six rooms. Indeed, Rev. and Mrs. Coates are doing great work at Woodville, Md. AQUASCO, MD.

The great cry of the church, the race and the world today is "New Life." Christ came to give this new life and that abundantly. The great destroyer of life is Satan; and with his venomed sting he infused sin into the life, and death is the ultimate result. Despite the many slain by Death, despite the many dying through this monster evil, yet we are glad to report that the Pisgah M. E. Church has put on new life. She has truly awakened out of her sleep and "put on her beautiful garment." The pastor has tried hard to solve the difficult problems by which he is confronted, and along every line God has given him success. The whiskey traffic, which for ages has been a menace to the welfare of the gospel and a veritable stumbling block to every just enterprise, has been conquered in that county. The charge has fought manfully and bravely under the leadership of its pastor, Rev. A. D. Brown, for this great victory. Praise the Lord. Many precious souls have been won for Christ. The financial part of the work is excellent. The Spirit of the Lord is with the work. Peace and happiness prevails in their midst. The class meetings are a source of blessing and spiritual feasts. The benevolences are being taken care of. They are praying for greater blessings and for $ ^{th} $ outpouring of the Holy Ghost. JAS J. ARMSTRONG. Dyson-Wormley Miss Sallie M.

M., at St. Paul's Church, Eighth Street, between D and E Streets Southwest. The meeting was largely attended, intense interest was manifested in the active, good work done by the association, which was clearly demonstrated among those present in improving the southwest conditions. Many new members were added at this meeting. The citizens urged better police protection, indorsed the closing of eighteen saloons. The excellent work of the present Board of Commissioners in making improvements everywhere in South was accompanist for Mr. Douglass, and he contributed one piano selection, "The Piano Etude," from Chopin, a heavy production which he executed with wonderful skill and expression, receiving great applause and an encore. Then came Mr. Douglass. Erect as an Indian, keen and classic cut features, Mr. Douglass looks the artist that he is. He was introduced in a brief speech by W. I. Lewis of the Florida Metropolis, who referred to the famed grand sire, Frederick Douglass, of the artist who was present to entertain with his known skill. Gracefully bowing, Mr. Douglass took his place on the rostrum, his soul apparently riveted to boy and instrument which have become a part of himself through years of closest sympathy, teaching the limit of that mysterious intimacy which comes to man and tool, bordering even on the weird. Mr. Douglass had three numbers on the program. The first of these was in three parts. His initial number was a minuet, by Bethoven. The peculiar grace, and bewitching rhythm of this movement, with a correct interpretation of the great master, served to enhance the eagerness of the waiting audience, waiting because all know there was no possible disappointment of an evening of the cream of good things in melody most soulful. "The Leibesleid" followed, eloquently betraying its racial nativity and wealthy melody, and that fertility of soul movement, Germany. The third, a classic from Huby, won applause, too, the performer sharing honors with the composer, and at the close the audience wrenched a heavy encore from Mr. Douglass, who played "Snawnee River," its quaint old melody bringing tears to the eyes of many in the audience. The second number by Mr. Douglass opened with a composition by the late S. Coleridge-Taylor, the great colored composer of London "Deep Water" is the title, a descriptive piece in which the imagery looms up to the horizon of racial betrayal. The tones frequently carry one to the center of dusky, laughing faces and open-hearted good will, "The Black Man." Gerimay gave the next selection, "The Liebesfen," which was followed by the most enchanting Mazourka by Musin, ending with the Scherzo from Van Goss. Great was the applause, and in responding to an encore, Mr. Douglass played with his soul, not with the violin, "Auld Lang Eyne," welling forth all of the sacredness of that everlasting old Scotch ballad. The final number by Mr. Douglass was in four parts, the first of which was a serenade, enrapturing in its beauty and rich expression. "The Obertass" followed, and then came "The Humoresque," ending with "The Zietunerweisen," a story of the Gypsy Camp told in music. Though this was the concluding number, and some thought it would be unpardonable greediness to exact an encore, but the majority ruled quickly by lustily calling back the performer, who played his farewell.

But you may say that the building of a Baptist Seminary in Washington or grouping it with the colleges of Howard is as unreasonable as visionary. I do not believe it is. In fact, I know if the Baptists were together and should unitedly undertake either to build and maintain such an institution or to group it with the colleges of Howard, provided the authorities would agree to it, it would be done. The idea that one church is as good as another, which seems to be popular in some places, is, I believe, a mistake. The church that comes nearest the New Testament model is the best, whatever name it may bear, and, as I see it, the Baptist Church comes nearest to the teachings of Christ and His Apostles; therefore, it is the best. It stands for a converted membership. Regeneration with us is an important fact and no Baptist Church would think of accepting a person for membership, however distinguished, able, learned or influential, except upon evidence of faith in Jesus Christ. We still adhere to and practice the teachings of Christ, both as to the condition of membership and form of church government, which, of course, is purely democratic. A great Baptist school at the Capital of the Nation, making a specialty of the Baptist doctrines and history, as well as the broadest scholarship and culture, is, I think, then, very necessary. I have in mind a seminary of high grade which would attract the brightest minds and also place the denomination in a more favorable light in regard to its educational policy. Many of the Southern States are well in advance of us along this line. There are several schools throughout the country controlled by Baptists. The Negro Baptists of North Carolina raised last year for educational purposes about fifteen thousand dollars. The young Baptists are taught self-help and denominational pride. They do not consider the church an embodiment of ignorance and superstition, but a church of the classes as well as of the masses. Our young men should be trained so as to help all classes, feed the sheep and the lambs as well, benefit the learned and the unlearned; lift up Christ, lift up the people. Next to the doctrines of our church, doctrines born in the bosom of the Messiah or the Christ of God and ratified and sustained by His own blood and defended through the ages by martyrs and saints, in my opinion, is Christian education. Rev. Dr. E. B. Pollard, of Crozier Seminary, truly says: "The logic of our position as Baptists forces us to favor education, for the same reason that in a republican form of government public schools are imperative. We must as truly educate the membership who are to govern the churches as the masses who are to manage the state. A democracy in both church and state demands that the multitudes be educated. Baptists believe in the value of the individual; hence the individuals shall be brought up to his best value. This can be done only through education. And yet, strangely enough, many of our Baptist forefathers were very suspicious of education. They seem to see in education a possible foe to spirituality, for they often observe that intelligence is too often not found with devout and spiritually minded people. The obstacle among Baptists today is not suspicion of education, but indifference to it. There are fewer of our Baptist boys and girls in schools of higher learning than from any other denomination, in proportion to our membership. This should not be so, unless we have decided to take and to hold forever a minor place in the work of the world and in efficiency for service." The splits and contentions among us are largely due to the lack of training on the part of the masses. Hence let us insist on general education and whenever possible have our young men and women to attend our own schools, especially those preparing for the ministry. Dr. William L. Poteat says in reference to white Baptist schools: "We hold these denominational academies in high esteem. They have charge of our boys and girls during the adolescent period of their personal development, when they set up their life standards and ideals, make their life choices, and the great ventures of imagination and faith which we call conversion. And so it turns out that usually under the direct instruction and personal guidance which they have in these schools the boys and girls come to our Baptist Colleges already members of the church and in the majority of cases having made their decision of the question of a life vocation. The colleges for men and women complete the denominational provision for education." Stoddard Baptist Home. Of all the objects in which we are concerned and which we are now called upon to support, the one claiming our especial attention at this time is the Stoddard Baptist Old Folks Home. There can be no question as to the needs of such an institution. The old members of our churches who have labored and sacrificed in the early days of our churches, should now in their old days, "When they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fear shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail; because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets," be supported in a way becoming a great denomination. It is regrettable that any controversy should arise at this time when the erection of a suitable building for their comfort should be uppermest in our minds, but with ill-will toward no one and with faith in God, and an eye single to His glory, let us shoulder the responsibility and erect an institution which will be a credit to our numbers and a glory to the Christ of God, Who shall say in the morning, when all nations shall be gathered around the throne of His glory, "Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you, from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and ye gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, ye took me in; naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came unto me." Let us sacrifice for them who sacrificed for us. God has doubtless left these old saints here to test our generosity, and to develop our patience. If we allow them to suffer we shall be condemned. So let us bestir ourselves for the upbuilding and maintenance of our Home for the Aged and Infirm. God has given, us as a denomination more of them to care for and has also given us greater resources. Our obligation therefore is apparent. Brethren, if we do not arise to the exigency of the occasion and do our whole duty as the good Lord gives us strength and wisdom to see and do. He will raise up other men who will carry the work on to success. Home and Foreign Missions. Our association should do more for missions, home and foreign. Great churches, scholarly pastors enjoying fair salaries—not exorbitant—but fair compensation for services rendered, should do more for the destitute at home and abroad. Let us plan for and do mission work in a definite way. Give systematically to missions. A church which fails in this essential, fails to be a Missionary Baptist Church. The church that is not saving men and women from hell and saving them to service is merely a church in name. We here in Washington should support one or more workers on the foreign field or contribute very largely to their support. Wake up, brother, wake up; let us help send the gospel to the heathen. Big churches in Washington, big in number, big in name, big in meeting places and appointments, big in personal interests and personal accomplishments. "Uplift the banner! heathen lands. Shall see from far the glorious sight. And nations gathering at the call. Their spirits kindle in its light. Our glory only in the cross, Our only hope the crucified." The large churches, free of debts, are to be congratulated, but God wants you to extend your borders— "Lenghten thy cords and strengthen thy stakes." Be more of an organism than organization. Reproduce and multiply yourselves. Adopt some struggling small church, well located and having good cause for existence and make it self-supporting, thus extending the kingdom of Christ. A good method of church extension this. Keep the people of the Lord busy in His vineyard. Idle brain is the devil's workshop and hands not employed in God's work are in danger of being employed in the devil's. A working people find little time for nagging, grumbling and adverse criticisms, for nagging the pastors and nagging each other. Our Church Relation to the Body Politic. It is true that our work is spiritual and that under no conditions should we neglect the spiritual side, bearing always in mind that "It is not by might nor by power, but by my spirit saith the Lord," but we are a part, and an important part, of the American people. We are deeply interested in our traditions and institutions. We have contributed materially to their grandeur and splendor. We are concerned in the welfare of the human race, for, in our opinion, there is but one race and that is the human race, made of one blood by one God whose offsprings we are. On account of our position in this country, however, we are driven to concern ourselves particularly about our own people, who are loyal to the country and its best interests, but are denied the privileges, immunities and emoluments to which we are justly entitled. As a race of people subjected to peculiar burdens, we must just simply fight it out, contend for fair play in the race of life. We ask no favors, we beg no indulgences, but simply crave equal rights, the enjoyment of the manhood rights which God ordains that men should enjoy. Certainly the odds are against us and segregation in the National Capital, under the nose of the President of the United States, is practiced with high hand, still I am optimistic and believe God will overrule in our favor just as He did in the case of slavery. Of course we are impatient and want it done at once, but the "mills of the gods grind slowly but exceedingly fine." When the President designated the first Sunday in October as a day of prayer for peace, I wondered at the time if it occurred to him that a nation guilty of the blood of her fellowmen was not in any condition to pray effectual prayers—burning at the stake their neighbors and praying God to stop other nations from killing each other. "O, consistency, thou art a jewel." As ministers of the gospel of Christ, praying to the Heavenly Father to bring peace among waring nations and at the same time objecting to me uniting with them in the same place of worship in prayer to the same God, Who is Father over all. Away with such hypocrisy! If the American nation is to be a Christian nation in fact and in truth and escape the calamities now being visited upon the European nations, it must learn to accord equal The National Religious Training School, Durham, N.C.

A democratic government owes and should grant to each of her citizens equality of political and civil rights. Temperance The cause of temperance is making rapid progress throughout the country, as shown in the large majorities cast against the sale of intoxicating drinks. Several states are in the dry column. Whether less whiskey is consumed or not, it shows that public opinion is growing against the licensed saloon. The reduction of the number of saloons in this city offers hope to the Anti-Saloon League advocates. All church people should be opposed to the liquor traffic. You should constantly and uniringly fight the hydra-headed, rapacious and nefarious monster. From a paper read before the Columbia Association of Baptist Churches, I quote the following: "From the United States Census Reports we gather that the population of the United States and outlying provinces is fixed at 100,000,000 round numbers. In the United States and said provinces the liquor consumed annually per capita is estimated at two and a half billions of dollars. 245,000 saloons are responsible for three deaths to each saloon. The productive wealth of the United States is estimated at $32,000,000,000. The estimated loss to the United States caused by alcoholic traffic, 21 per cent, or $8,500,000. Estimated value of alcohol consumed annually $2,000,000,000. Pauperism, jails, immorality, disease, crime, and court expense, $2,000,000,000, or a total loss to the country of more than twelve billions and a half of dollars annually exceeding the total expenditure of four years of our late war between the states by nine billions of dollars. There are 20,000,000 of tipplers, 4,000,000 of heavy drinkers, and 1,000,000 of confirmed drunkards, or a total of 25,000,000 of the population of the United States who are on the road to a drunkard's grave. Insurance statistics inform us that out of every 62,000 of our population, 1,000 die annually from the effects of alcohol; and as we contemplate the awful result of this traffic in human life, the crimes, pauperism, imbecility, lust, passion, idleness, court expenses, laxity in our morals, divorce decrees, ails, penitentiaries, and asylums, we do we realize that the ranks of this great army of lost souls are recruited from our young men and young women, our girls and boys, one-half of whom commence drinking before they are twenty-one years of age, and one-third of whom before the age of sixteen. In 1,000 deaths it is known that 500 died from all causes except alcohol, 440 died from the effects of alcohol drinking." Universal Peace. Finally, my brethren, let us wield the old Jerusalem blade, the gospel of Jesus Christ is destined to bring about peace. The fact that the clash of great armies has been unprecedentedly terrific; that millions of men are engaged in slaughtering each other, thousands of refugees driven helpless and penniless from their homes, women outraged, babies oneteted, large cities bombarded, without a moment's warning from the skies; in fine, all the horrors of war in the darkest ages reproduced by a Christian nation, does not in the least invalidate the prophecy that the gospel of Christ will beget universal peace. Even the European War, in my opinion, will to some extent prepare for the second advent of Christ as did the heathen culture and the Alexandrian wars for the spread of the gospel of peace in its infancy. The time is sure to come where the Lord "Shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people and they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." Brethren, let us continue to preach the gospel, the whole gospel—not catering to men and women, but declaring the whole counsel of God. Let us preach less theology and more Christ; less sensationalism and more crossism; more God, the Father of all, and less "filth lucre"; more practicality; more common sense and less rhetorical theorems and conjectualities; more mutuality and less individuality; more sincerity and love among pastors and less selfishness. false-heartedness and shameful rivalry; more "ips touched" with the red hot coals from God's altar and less House & Herrmann of all kinds and description, House and Herrmann is the place to visit.

THE GREAT WHITE THRONE; ITS JUDGMENT NOW DUE Financial, Ecclesiastical and Social Shakings. "Men's Hearts Failing Them For Fear." Apprehending Troubles Impending. Selfishness Blighting Humanity. Messiah's Throne of Purity and Justice and Love Earth's Only Hope. Philadelphia, Pa. Nov. 8.—Pastor Russell preached today at the Colonial Theatre from the text, "I saw a Great White Trance and lied that sat on it from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them." Revelation 20:11.) The Pastor had a request for further light on a previous discourse which he answered before PASTOR RUSSELL PASTOR RUSSELL light on a previous discourse which he answered before treating today's text. As it is of peculiar interest: we give it in full. He had applied Hebrew 12 to our day, declaring now in progress the removing of all things shakable, that only things harmonious with Divine standards, which cannot be shaken, may remain. He held that the shaking beavens represented Churchlamity - Ecclesiasticism - and the shaking earth represented social, financial and political affairs. His questioner wanted to know what financial shakings are to be expected. The response flows - Stocks and Bonds to Be Shaken. Everything false, bogus, inequitable, will be shaken. In financial parlance this is equivalent to saying that the "water" will be squeezed out of all the stocks and bonds. By methods once sanctioned, but now everywhere rehended, stocks and bonds have been issued for sums far beyond the actual value of the properties. These stocks and bonds have cost their present owners varying sums from nothing up to par; but their actual value is what the properties would cost, plus a reasonable percentage of allowance for right of way and business "good will." In ordinary times these had a market value built upon hope of their future prosperity. Now, however, the general public has become aware of the real situation and is fearful to touch at any price these shares and bonds of over-capitalized companies, and the most sound and solvent of them share the public distrust. Now, in the opening of the New Dispensation, when everything is being "shaken," we are to expect that all such stocks and bonds will be shaken in value until everything like dishonesty and inequity shall have been shaken out. Forty years ago the world's great bankers and financiers concluded that it would be to their interest to demonetize silver and have only a gold standard. This finally accomplished what they foresaw and intended: it curtailled the world's monetary supply and enabled the bankers the better to control the entire situation throughout the world. By an elaborate banking system (valuable in some respects), it made each gold dollar chase the same amount of money as ten dollars, assisted by bank checks and trusts. Thus the profits of the larger banks increased amazingly by reason of higher discount and interest charges, making them rich at the public expense. The public, of course, acquiesced in the law denetizing silver and making gold the single standard. But they did it under misapprehension, because they believed the bankers' tale—that this was really the best thing for the people, and not merely a measure in the interest of the banker and at the expense of the people. It is perhaps but fair to say that less than one-half of the bankers understood the philosophy of the matter; the others were guided by the wealthier and more astute who did fully understand. The result has been great profits to the bankers, and great power; for without them, railroad stocks and bonds could not be handled successfully. The bankers took over large issues of railroad stocks and bonds, by what is known as the underwriting process. They were capable sales agents for the bonds at a good round percentage of profit, advancing money on the bonds and holding them for sale to the public. The Day of Reckoning. Now we see fulfilled the Scripture declaration, "He taketh the wise in their own craftiness." (Job 5:13). How so, do you ask? I reply that the great banks have their vaults well filled with these bonds and stocks on which they had hoped to make large profits; but which, on the contrary, they are now unable to sell at any price. These stocks and bonus reckoned in as part of the banks' assets, show them to be wealthy, with immense surpluses; but now the "water" is to be taken out of these stocks and bonds. It will show an immense shrinkage in the resources of these banks. They will become suddenly poor without actually losing a cent, by reason of the market value of their securities falling. This fact is realized by all banks. They realize that if the Day of Reckoning has come, and their holdings—their securities—are to be reckoned at their actual value, it will mean that instead of large resources and surpluses, some of the richest banks will become insolvent and be called upon by the government, either to close their doors or to make good their shortage. And right there will be their difficulty; for the rich men of the world have their capital invested similarly, and the reaction will be bound to unfavorably affect all the great commercial enterprises of the world. As all went well, amazingly well for the bankers and the wealthy by reason of the demonetization of silver, so when the Day of Reckoning shall have fully dawned, things will go especially hard with these same people. And, although the stoppage and the reconstruction will involve the whole world, poor and rich alike, nevertheless in many respects the rich will feel the pressure most. The liquidating process had already begun before the present European war started. The Hartford and New Haven Railroad, The Chicago and Rock Island, and others, have been called to account. With these the "water squeezing" processes of the law have been threatening, and will undoubtedly accomplish their thorough "shaking." But meantime, the war, waiting not for the more gradual processes of the law and the ordinary business, has brought the financial world to a crisis. The nations of Europe are being shaken. The casualties of the war already amount to a million and a half of human beings, and hundreds of millions of dollars. And it is only begun. Financial values there are greatly impaired, as are also national credits. The thing wanted is gold, and as in every war, this precious metal has practically disappeared in the nations at war. Their home securities will not be salable for cash, and a general attempt will be made to sell American securities — American stocks, bonds, etc. But who will buy these? America will be practically the only market for them, and as we have already seen, American banks and bankers are loaded down heavily. When we learn the immense amount of these American shares and bonds held in European hands, we need not wonder that American bankers pale at the thought of their being dumped upon the American market. Reliable financial autorities declare that Europe has about five thousand millions of dollars invested in American securities. If but one of these be sacrificed to realize gold, it will mean an avalanche—a financial deluge. American banks, already overloaded with these "securities," cannot purchase all; hence prices will tumble and wrecks follow. In view of these matters, is it any wonder that American bankers fear to see the stock Exchanges open for business? Had the Exchanges not closed promptly when they did, we would have had the most terrible panic ever known. By the closing of the Exchanges that awful panic was temporarily averted. By their closing, the owners of the stocks and bonds have been hindered from realizing upon them; thus the face value of these stocks and bonds has been preserved, and thereby the banks and bankers have been permitted to continue to count these shares and bonds at fictitious prices which nobody would pay for them today. Effect of Silver Demonetization. Had silver not been demonetized, bankers would not have had as easy a time as they have enjoyed in cornering the financial market, and getting large rates of interest and premiums; but neither would they be in the same distress at the present time, for the world would have had twice as much money with which to do its business. When we consider that the gold coin of the world is not sufficient for even the paying of the interest of the debts, we perceive how the banking institutions have had the people, figuratively, by the throat, and now are being choked themselves by their own device. The interest upon the debts cannot be paid in gold because there is not enough of it to pay the interest. Hence the only thing remaining to be done is to issue more bonds, payable in gold also, and the interest payable in gold. Now that nobody will buy the bonds, what is to be done? Interest on foreign holdings of American "securities," estimated at only four per cent per annum, means a drainage of two hundred millions of dollars every year in gold, needed to pay that interest. Now we seem to be coming to a dead stop through this war; and the wheels of finance which worked so favorably for the bankers in the past, are turning in the opposite direction and lacering them financially. Apparently our financial "house of cards" is trembling, and about to fall. Various expedencies are being tried by the governments and the ablest financiers of the world. We might hope that their skill would accomplish the end they desire, and save the present institutions—financial—from being "shaken" to pieces. But, if we are right in our understanding of the Scriptures—if the great Day of Settlement has come, in which the shakable things are to be shaken and accepted except that which cannot be shaken, then we may-be sure that all human effort will fall, and that the greatest of all crashes of a financial kind that have ever happened will take place. It will be noticed that I am saying nothing new—that what I have just said has been said in part at least, by many, and published in the newspapers. I am merely bringing together these things, and showing their relationship to the testimony of the Bible, that we are now in the great day of "shaking." To some this will be considered a fanatical pessimism, because the vast majority of people have absolutely no confidence in the Bible. Nevertheless, when these things shall come to pass in the very near future, some may be helped to an understanding of the true situation—a recognition of the fact that the "smaking" upon the nations—financial, social, political and religious—is of the Lord, and not accidental. Under normal conditions American business should be prospering as never before, because her commercial competitors are at war, and unable to properly attend to their commercial interests. Likewise, American securities should be in demand, because all securities of foreign countries have depreciated by the war. But with the gold standard and an insufficiency of gold, the business of the entire world is stagnated. The world's needs and wants are as great as ever, but it has not the gold wherewith to purchase. The demonetization of silver seems to be referred to by the Prophet Ezekiel (7:19) saying, "They shall cast their silver into the street"—treat it as a commodity and not as money. The Prophet then tells how gold will become scarce and eventually be completely withdrawn by the people hiding it as though it were an unclean thing, as the Hebrew text implies—Their gold shall be removed." Thus neither silver nor gold will be available. Railroad magnates, and the bankers who hold their securities, perceive that if it is difficult to raise money for the meeting of the interest on the bonds, it will be more difficult to issue new bonds to replace maturing ones, no matter how sound and well managed the railway may be. Is it any wonder that the trepidation of the financial and political princes of the earth is great, as they look into the future! Their well-grounded fears were prophesied by our Saviour as one of the signs of the present times "Men's hearts failing them for fear and for looking after those things coming upon the earth"—the social order—and because of the shaking of the heavens, the ecclesiastical systems.—Luke 21:28. Fear Humanity's Bane. The speaker then passed to his text, outlined its meaning, and said:— Sin made moral cowards of our race. From early infancy fear and apprehension, especially in respect to things future, have been impressed upon us. We realize that we are imperfect, that our God is perfect, that perfection is the only standard which He could approve, and that some kind of punishment for sin must be expected. The Adversary, taking advantage of our forefathers, mlsrepresented the Almighty, and has used our fears to alienate us from Him and to wrest and Paul's Message to us in the Bible. St. Paul assures us that this is Satan's general process that he puts light for darkness and darkness for light. Thus comes that our text, which really one of the most beautiful and comforting in the whole Bible when understood, has to many become a lash in the hands of their fears—2 Corinthians 4:1. Our text is one of the symbolisms of a Book filled with symbols. God's people guided by His Holy Spirit, in due time will appreciate these symbols. For many of them, that due time is already here. The Throne is Messiah's; it represents His Mediatorial Dominion of earth for a thousand years. Its whiteness symbolizes the purity, the justice, of His Kingdom of Righteousness under the whole heavens. The heavens and earth which will flee from the presence of the great Immanuel will not be the Heavens of God's Throne, nor the earth which He has given to the children of men. The heavens and earth which will flee away, and for which no place will be found, are, of course, the symbolical ones. In Bible symbology the earth represents established civilization; the sea, the restless, dissatisfied masses of humanity; and the mountains, human governments, kingdoms, which constitute the backbone of present social institutions. The symbolic heavens represent spiritual influences—Ecclesiasticism, Churchianity. Thus interpreted, our text declares that when Messiah assumes control of the world, the result will be that the social system of today, as well as present day ecclesiasticism will pass out of existence—nc place will be found for them. Satan Now the Prince. Some may ask. Whatever may be said of the four thousand years before the coming of Christ, may it not be claimed that He has been reigning ever since His ascension to the right hand of God? We answer, If the Redeemer of men has been reigning as the King of earth for the past nineteen centuries, there should be something in the Bible to so teach. On the contrary the Master's own words tell us that Satan is the Prince of this Age; that Christ's Kingdom is not of this world (Age); that He will come again and receive His followers to Himself; that He went into a far country to receive title to His Kingdom and to return to take possession of it; and that at His Second Coming He will be the great King of Glory—John 14:16, 39; 18:36; Matthew 11:31; 15:44, 31. When we scan the pages of history during the past eighteen centuries, we are convinced that Messiah has not been King. To think of Him as such, with the omnipotent power we accredit to Him, would be to charge Him with responsibility for bloody and atrocious persecutions, for wars, famines and peatlenes. Surely, no right-minded person, after mature consideration, can rationally accept the theory that we have had the glorious Messianic Reign of Righteousness for the blessing of the whole world, the uplifting of humanity. No one can think that the Reign of the great Mediator is in the past. We must agree with our text that it is in the future; and that, when established, its effect upon present institutions—political, social, financial, religious—will be such that they will flee away; no place will be found for them. From this standpoint alone there is hope for the world. Today we are living at the climax of civilization. Yet we behold more clearly than ever before that the deeply-ingrained selfishness of humanity is a blight upon all our blessings. Selfishness is to be found everywhere. Although a semblance of righteousness is insisted upon and violators of that standard are styled criminals, nevertheless it seems impossible to legislate equity, justice. Men's keen intellects find opportunities for circumventing the laws and committing theft, murder, etc., without danger of punishment. The Great White Throne Judgment. Neither Jehovah God nor His Representative, Messiah, can in any sense or degree be a party to injustice or inequity. The fact that injustice has been permitted, that inequity has been the rule for centuries, is to be accounted for by the fact that during all this period the world has been under the reign of Sin and Death, the reign of Satan, "the Prince of this world," and of the darkness of selflessness and evil—all of which his name represents; that the world has not been under the domination of Messiah, the Representative of Jehovah and His righteousness, and love. The New dispensation which Messiah's Kingdom will usher in is pictured in our text. It will be the world-wide dominion of purity, holiness, righteousness, justice, truth—a Great White Throna. No wonder we read that the symbolical heavens and earth, representing the old order of things—social ecclesiastical—will vanish away! But let no one think for a moment that ecclesiastical princes, financial princes and political princes will voluntarily acknowledge that the hour has come for a full surrender to Messalah and to all the principles of His absolute righteousness. On the contrary, these privileged members of our race will be more and more drawn together for mutual protection—for the preservation of the special privileges which have come into their possession. Even now we see the prophecy of the Second Psalm fulfilling. We are in the very time when the Lord, through the Prophet David, calls the great ones of earth to recognize the true situation of our wonderful day—that the Day of Messalah has arrived, and that He should be recognized and His principles of righteousness obeyed. But not! The prophecy declares that we are in the day when the people, the masses, will have foolish imaginations—when they will think that by their own strength they can inaugurate a reign of righteousness along the lines of Socialism, or by anarchy. The people must learn that their help is in the Lord and not in their own frail arm. They must see the force of the words, "Blessed are all they that put their trust in Messiah." On the other hand, the money kings, earthly rulers and ecclesiastical princes are taking counsel together for the preservation of present inequities of the world, by which they are profiting. The Lord declares that in this they are banding themselves against Him and his newly-appointed King—Messiah. For over a century human liberty has been making progress, despite every endeavor to restrain it. Earth's potentates perceive the rising tide of human intelligence and of demands for equal rights. They perceive that unless something be done to counteract this general movement, the special advantages of the privileged classes will disappear. Even now they are taking counsel together how to break the restraints which the people are putting upon them, and how to reinaugurate a reign of autocracy, such as prevailed a century ago, but upon a higher-plane, controlled by brighter wits, holding under restraint more intelligent masses. "Be Instructed. Ye Judgeal" Would that the cultured and influential princes of earth could take the proper view of the situation and realize the fallacy of their counsels, the impossibility of averting the great changes which are upon us by reason of the time having come for Messiah to take unto Himself His great power and reign! Could the wise of earth realize the situation and fully submit themselves to the Divine requirements of absolute justice and truth, what a blessing it would be to the world! If these princes would turn their attention from the grasping of power and money to the enlightenment and uplifting of the people, they would become ministers of the New Dispensation, which would be ushered in with rejoicing. But the Lord informs us that this will not be the case; and that as a result Messiah's Kingdom will be ushered in by "a Time of Trouble such as was not since there was a nation"—Daniel 12:1. God is no respecter of persons. Hence, before His Judgment Throne punishments will be meted out to small and great, when found to be violators of the principles of justice. Would that I could impress this upon many of the lower classes who are crying out against injustice in high places, while practicing similar injustices themselves. Let it be remembered that the Great White Throne speaks blessings only to those who love righteousness and hate Iniquity. The Master said, "My Word shall judge you in the Last Day." The books then to be opened will be the words of Jesus, of His Apostles and of the Prophets of old. Then all shall see the oneness of the Divine Message of righteousness, and each who would have everlasting life must conform his living and his thinking to those standards therein contained. At the end of Messiah's Reign, those whose names will have been written upon the new Book of Life will be found worthy of everlasting life; those whose names are not therein written will be destroyed in the Second Death.

Best, and Marvey Fox are promoters of the Greene County Pig Club, organized in accordance with the plan recently outlined by Dr. Booker T. Washington. Already the colored people of this county are aroused and have caught hold of the idea—determined to raise at least one extra hog this year and thereby do what they can to relieve the stress of the present financial condition. The Greene County organization is to have a branch in each of the nine townships and workers in each branch will make an earnest, vigorous campaign in interest of the movement. It is predicted that more than one thousand colored families will raise an extra pig this fall, and a conservative estimate places the combined increase in wealth of these families at more than $10,000. JULIUS ROSENWALD, THE BENEFACTOR. The Outlook for October 28 presents an illustrated article by Dr. Booker T. Washington entitled "A Remarkable Triple Alliance: How a Jew Is Helping the Negro Through the Y. M. C. A." After describing the conditions and incidents which influenced Mr. Julius Rosenwald to make his remarkable offer to give $25,000 for $75,000 raised towards a $100,000 Y. M. C. A. building for, Negroes, Dr. Washington briefly outlines the progress of these campaigns in ten of our larger cities and presents short sketches of the lives of the colored people who contributed $1,060 or more to the movement. His conclusions and deductions regarding the influence of Mr. Rosenwald's generosity upon the future of the Negro race, contain some of the most inspiring expressions of his brilliant career. After showing how this movement has enlarged our viewpoint of the power and influence of religion, he says: "Another direction in which, it seems to me, Mr. Rosenwald's gift and the Young Men's Christian Association have been a help to members of my race is in what they are doing to convince the white people of this country that in the long run schools are cheaper than policemen; * * * that it is more Christian and more economical to prepare young men to live right than to punish them after they have committed crime." The Outlook is published at 287 Fourth Avenue, New York, and is always willing to chronicle information regarding Negro progress and achievement. An amusing description is given by an officer "at the front" of the weird headdress and clothing the troops are wearing, having lost their own. All sorts of hats are seen, civilian caps, soft felt hats, straw hats such as Mexicans wear, and quaint makeshifts, that is, khaki cover for a cap. And one soldier was wearing a woman's bodice, while a great many of another company were wearing women's underclothing, their own having worn out. SPECIAL NOTICE. Optical work in all its branches.
