We thank Thee, O God, for this land and country. We thank Thee for the great men and women it has given to the world. We thank Thee, O Heavenly Father, that greatness in human hearts is not dead and that nobility of soul still lives. We thank Thee that in the midst of the perverseness and crookedness of this world and the present generation, that all love of man for man has not given way to superstition, and prejudice, and wrong, but ever and anon when Thou wilt Thou doth call forth from homes of nobility, from homes of love, from humble homes and cottages, great and strong hearts to deay with the nations and with the questions which confront Thy people. We thank Thee, O God, for the greatness of this people, of this nation, of this country. We thank Thee for the wonderful ministrations which Thou hast set in operation for the development of humankind, and above all, we thank Thee, O God, that Thou hast made no distinction in the provisions which Thou hast made for the highest and best development of Thy children of earth. We thank Thee, O Father, for this great country which has given us so many noble-souled men that have gone forth to fight for human rights, which are the highest gifts that Heaven has vouchsafed to the children of earth. We thank Thee for the presence of one of Thy noble sons into whose heart the spirit and life of Thy Son hath been breathed, and that he hath been enabled to stand amidst and among all kinds of criticism, and with his head erect and with his heart throbbing for love of mankind he has rung true and certain to the principles of human liberty! We thank Thee, O God, for what Thou hast done for us as a nation and as a people, and now as we have assembled ourselves here for the purpose of listening to one of our Congressmen, who has stood up almost singlehanded and alone to fight for these human rights, we pray Thy blessings upon him and we ask Thee, O God, to give him strength of heart and body that he may continue to bat tle and to fight until justice shall be enthroned and prejudice and hypocris shall be dethroned and trampled in the dust, and that this country in deed shall be "the land of the free and the home of the brave." Guide us while we shall further wait upon Thee and bless these means of development and helpfulness and cheer to a people who need them most. These blessings we ask through Thy Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, amen. President Madre. We have the minutes of the last meeting. The minutes will be read by the first vice president, Mr. Archie Pinkett. Our secretary, Mr. James F. Alston, is very hoarse and has asked Mr. Pinkett to read the minutes. (Mr. Pinkett read the minutes of the meeting of January 26.) President Madre. You have heard the minutes of the last meeting. If there are no objections, the minutes stand approved. (After a pause) I hear none; the minutes of the last meeting are approved. We will next be favored with a selection by the Amphion Glee Club, a tribute to Congressman Madden composed by the director of the Glee Club, Prof. J. Henry Lewis, entitled, "It's the Wrong, Wrong Way to Treat the Negroes." We have given copies of this song as far as they would go, and the Amphilons will sing the two verses and the chorus and then they ask the audience to join in. Prolonged applause. Song by Amphilons, audience joining in chorus: "It's the Wrong, Wrong Way to Treat the Negroes." (To the tune of Tipperary) J. Henry Lewis. Tribute to Hon. Martin B. Madden, of Illinois. I Out from Illinois came a nobleman one day, To the halls of Congress, he went ready for the fray; There he fought for human rights—for men of evry hue, And Madden is his name, and he is loyal through and through. BEE—3— (Chorus.) It's the wrong way to treat the the Negroes, it's the wrong thing to do; They have always fought like heroes, though they've counted friends but few; They have fought well in every battle, always for the right. It's the wrong, wrong way to treat the Negroes, but there's justice in sight. II He has prov'd himself sincere, and manly in debate. When they tried to do us harm, by making unjust laws, He stood for human rights, and he succeeded just because— (Chorus.) It's the wrong, wrong way to treat the Negroes, it's the wrong thing to do, etc., etc. President Madre. We will ask the Amphions to sing as the closing song, and you will it with them. Your main mission tonight, I am sure, is to hear the speaker. We honor the speaker of the evening, and we are glad to show our appreciation of his services rendered so often for us in the past. We are glad to have him with us. All Negro-Americans—in fact, I think all good Americans—would be glad to put him into Wood- MARYLAND SCHOOLS.

THE HOME FOR FRIENDLESS GIRLS The Christian - Endeavor Society of Berean Baptist Church, Mr. Charles P. M. Browne, president, held special services Sunday night. It was an effort to help financially The Home for Friendless Girls. Mr. Leon S. Wormley, took special interest in the evening's service. Dr. Rivers was at his best. He held his audience spellbound as he talked on Missionary work. Hon. H. Martin Williams, reading clerk of the House of Representative, was present with several of his friends. He made an address and an earnest appeal for the Home. Splendid music by the choir. Miss Helen Adams, Mr. James Lomack and Dr. Sumner Wormley each sang a solo. Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, president, gave a short history of the Home. The house was filled. Mr. Wormley in his efforts to make this meeting a success from every standpoint gave evidence that when an appeal for the unfortunate is made he is ever ready to respond, no matter what race, creed or color, whether they are across the water or at our own door. Berean Church, its pastor, Christian Endeavor and congregation, together with the choir and friends assisting, deserve commendation for this great meeting and also the splendid collection turned over by Mr. L. Wormley to help liquidate the debt of the Home. In the very near future a day book will be issued in which every person's name who has contributed to the Home will be announced. NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS. Furnished by the National Negro Business League. Dr. Fayette Avery McKenzie, formerly professor of sociology in the Ohio State University, has been elected president of Fisk University. The colored men were members of a committee of the Colorado miners which recently appeared with grievances before the officers of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company. The Mammoth Life and Accident Insurance Company, of Louisville, Ky., has won a notable suit from the State Insurance Department; as the result of which the company will begin operations at once. The colored people of Denver, Colorado, are in the midst of a vigorous campaign to raise funds for the establishment of a tuberculosis sanitarium. Through the presistent effort of Charles Banks, the Bank of Mound Bayou has been reorganized and placed upon a more substantial basis. The Commercial College of Howard University has issued a very interesting booklet on the history and development of Negro banks. The Lynchburg (Va.) Opportunity has started a movement for a Negro bank in that city. The Local Business League at Savannah, Georgia, recently held a special Sunday service at the First Bryan Baptist Church, Rev. J. C. Martin, Pastor. Printed circulars showing ten reasons why colored people should patronize their own business enterprises were distributed. One of the reasons is as follows: "In and around Savannah, there are more than 40,000 Negroes. We must spend for food more than $200,000 per month. The profit on this enormous amount of business buying our groceries from Negro grocers it would enable them to give employment to nearly 500 men, women, boys and girls at an average salary of $50.00 per month and then leave a balance of $225,000 for other purposes. Mr. V. H. Tulane, Cashier of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank, Montgomery, Alabama, has started a Christmas Savings Club. The plan and purpose of this Christmas Savings Club is to afford children and adults the opportunity of starting a bank account with five cents and increasing the deposit five cents each week. At the end of fifty weeks the total deposits will amount to $63.75. Mr. Tulane's statement in advertising this Christmas Savings Club is altogether crisp and convincing. His circular states "None too Old—None too Young—there are many good reasons why You Should become a Member. You are Invited—so are Your Friends—so is Every One in the Family. No Fines—No Fees—No Red Tape—No Trouble—It is Easy Money." At Jacksonville Florida, Mr. Charles H. Anderson, Cashier, Anderson & Company, Bankers, has also started a Christmas Club upon the same idea. The Christmas Savings Club idea affords the privilege and opportunity of saving money without undue hardship. It is earnestly recommended to Negro banks throughout the country.

SOME REASONS FOR 'HAVING A NATIONAL NEGRO HEALTH WEEK. Under the call of the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League, Dr. Booker T. Washington, President, preparations are going forward in all parts of the country, in the South, particularly, for carrying out the suggestions which have been outlined by Dr. Washington and his Executive Committee for the observance of Nation Negro Health Week. The particular reasons for asking the Negro people of the country to observe Nation Negro Health Week are set forth in a Bulletin statement just issued and which follows. Dr. Washington writes: 1. We are asking the colored people of the nation to unite in observing a National Negro Health Week in the belief that in carrying out the suggestions the best possible service to themselves and to the race. Many diseases are spread from the sick to the well by means of germs that come from the sick person. These germs find their way into filth and waste and reach the bodies of well persons to whom they give the disease. 2. Diseases Most Fatal to Negroes: The following are the diseases most fatal to Negroes: Diseases of infancy from which 27 per cent of all deaths among Negroes occur; tuberculosis from which 18 per cent of all Negroes die; pneumonia, 11 per cent of all their deaths; diseases of the heart, 8 per cent of all their deaths; Brights Disease, 7 per cent of all their deaths; Diarrhea, 8 per cent of all their deaths. 3. Diseases Exact Their Greatest Toll from the Young: The diseases which annually sweep away such large numbers of our people exact their greatest toll of babies and children and of our young men and women, who being in the very prime of life, constitute, economically and intellectually, the most valuable asset for the future progress of our race. Instead of these persons living and doing service as leaders of the masses of our people, they give their lives a useless toll to death. Our only remedy for this fearful drain on the pick and flower of our young womanhood and manhood is a widespread inculcation of the habit of clean surroundings and clean living. A suggestive or outline program will be issued very soon, the purpose being to ask various communities to take copies of this outline program and have it reprinted in their various communities, under the auspices of the several co-operating agencies so that a definite program for getting results may be followed in each community where National Negro Health Week is observed. HIS MODESTY. The Editor of the Washington Bee, Dear Sir: I have been a trifle surprised at your recent suggestions as to my usefulness to the Superintendent of Public Schools, for I had supposed that my services were of some value to the work of the whole system of schools and hence to every administrative officer. Permit me to confess that there are many things in the English language of which I am ignorant; willingly, negligently and unvoldably ignorant, and there are many educational questions which I am trying to answer; for Education is a dynamic process, and what man must learn increases and veries with the times. I wish to state that I have not, since I undertook to stand responsible for my own keep at the age of 11 years, been an applicant or candidate for any position held by any other man, and I do not intend to change my rule, for I feel that capacities are sufficiently varied to fill some place where I can render necessary and efficient service. I am an ordinary student of the prozimate solutions of the problems of human life, and I labor to be an extraordinary teacher in methods of inculcating courage, skill and sympathy in my students so that they may go forward in their several ways better fitted to meet opposition, difficulty and misunderstanding. It is pretty well known that I believe in the future of my race not only from a personal pride, but from a comparison of their achievements while in Africa and in their re-adjustment in America, with the achievements of other peoples in their native lands and in their re-adjustments in this new Nation. All civilization is on trial, and I do not believe any people can escape the inevitable and impartial laws of universal application, nor can any people be stopped from working in harmony with those laws when once they become known and applied. BEE—8 Please believe that I am already too busy being useful in my own way to wonder how I may be more useful to some one who has selected his assistants and is responsible for them.

Thompson, in the Indianapolis Freeman.) "The school question is still the par-mount issue before the colored people of Washington. The insistence upon a "square deal" is universal and the demand for an administration that will enforce the law alike for all will not down. The masses have lost faith in the ability or disposition of the present assistant superintendent to administer the law without favoritism. The teachers know not what a day may bring forth and do not feel secure about anything, no matter what their merits may be. Appointments, transfers, special details and promotions seem to be governed by every other consideration than fair play, and teachers and patrons alike are doubtful as to the rating they are to receive, and as this has much to do with their future, parents are much exercised over the situation that has grown out of the kindergarten scandal and other cases of official important document is being awaited. The record is being kept by interested patrons of the schools and its pages contain some inglorious chapters. The situation has long since passed the "rumor" stage. Specific and clean-cut charges are now pending before the superintendent and the Board of Education, and others are said to be on the way ready for filing at any moment. A decision, with a series of recommendations covering the entire controversy, is said to have been formulated by Superintendent E. L. Thurston, and the publication of this important document is being awaited with an eagerness never before so pronounced among colored Washingtonians. Speculation is rife as to what Superintendent Thurston will offer as his solution of the vital problems bound up in the school question, but as he is regarded as a man of courage and a thorough-going educational expert, it is expected that the will take the course that will be productive of the best results. He knows public sentiment and those close to the throne intimate that he will prove responsive to its mandates and recommend some radical changes. The talk is that anumber of demotions, transfers and reprimands are in store for some high officials with corresponding promotions for others deemed worthy of the honors. It is a noticeable fact that the forces that used to fight for Assistant Superintendent Bruce, because they believed him to be a much-abused man, are bitterly opposed to him now, and he has won no new champions to his side. To the surprise of many, he is said to have openly broken with the editor of the Washington Bee, who in the recent past has been regarded by some as a member of the "kitchen cabinet" of the schools and a potent factor in helping the assistant superintendent to "make up his mind" relative to certain appointments, etc. A report is current that Mr. Bruce even went so far as to intimate that the gentleman's "room was better than his company" and suggested that he no longer visit the offices of the schools on any mission whatsoever. The story is vogued for by a prominent school teacher and is not denied by the editor of The Bee. It is street talk in the haunts of those who keep in touch with school matters, and I give it for what it may be worth. The situation is still tense and will remain so until a break of some kind happens. Everybody is keeping his ear close to the ground, listening for the crash." Y. M. C. A. NOTES. During the past month over 1200 boys and men visited the Y. M. C. A., and used it's privileges. Basketball and indoor baseball have been the popular sports for the boys, while the bowling alleys have attracted many men who have rolled scores over 110. The Public School Athletic League was given use of the gymnasium for their basketball series. The association is doing extension work by supplying speakers for various Young Peoples' Societies. One man has charge of the physical work for the Social settlement in the south-west. The religious work committee under the leadership of Mr. J. J. Porter, has outlined an extensive program of work for the month. Sunday, February 14, is known as Father and Son Day. Every man and boy in the city will be there to hear Rev. Emory B. Smith's special address. On the 21st Rev. Sydes will speak on the subject "New Americanism." Howard University Y. M. C. A. will be with the men on that day. The building on 12th street is becoming a live center for men and boys, day and night. Hundreds of men who desire recreation and exercise are using the bowling alleys, gymnasium and swimming pool. Since the membership rate is only $5.00, many men are joining. A membership campaign is being planned to increase their number to 500. The Secretary, who is a live wire, says that Washington should have the largest membership of any association and that they are going to get over the anticipated number. That hacking cough, soreness in the force for good in our city as it reaches every man and boy. Every citizen should visit that place where all men are welcomed. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) One day Old Caesar took down the receiver to the phon- in the Palace, and called up the salonika Club. Getting an answer to his "Hello," he said: "Is Cassius and Brutus there?" "Yes," came the reply, "they are in the wine room chuckin' dice." "Well tell one of them to come to the phone." Pretty soon old skinny Cassius was at the phone. "Well King, what is it?" he inquired. "Say," said the fellow what crossed the Rubicon, "I wish you and Brutte would come over to the Palace, I want to talk to you." "Be right over," Cassius replied, and calling a taxi the two jumped in and gave orders to the chauffeur to take them to the Palace. On reaching the Palace they entered the reception room, but Auggit Savoy, who stood at the King's door, noticing them, stepped over to them and said: "Will the Honorable Cassius and the Honorable Brutus come right this way, the King will give you audience first. The King is in waiting." With that Auggle gave one those courteous bows that later secured him a clerk promotion, and led them into the King's private office, after which Auggle again took his station without. "Say fellows," said old Caesar, "there is just one d—m thing after another. I want to talk to you, and find out what's the matter with the d—m public. Everybody is hittin' at me and critising me, and even the teachers in the public schools have gone on a revolt. Now tell me frankly what you think is the trouble, and what you think I can do to straighten things out before the next election?" Old Brutus, who was smoking a three-for-a-dollar Gaskin cigar, took three or four long pulls on it, sort of meditatively. Old Cassius, skinny old bug, and nervous too, was pulling away at or on a Turkish cigarette. Each was trying to wait till the other smoke. Finally Cassius said: "I'll tell you what's the matter King. You make too many darn promises what you don't fill. You are always promising to appoint somebody to some place, and then you turn about and don't do it. And when they get at you about reneguing on your promise, you just smile, salve, and say that the fellow made a mistake, you did not literally promise, or you unload the whole smear on some understudy, and let him get the devil." "That's the dope," spoke up Brutus, as he tossed his Gaskin's three-for-a-dollar out of the window, and pulled out one of Dr. Board's five centers and lit it "you sure do make too many promises, and the people are tired of it, and aint goin' to stand for it much longer. Then another thing, you go back on all your friends. You stand up and lie to their face, and you are all the time unloading a load ofensure on some fellow under you." At this juncture, Caesar touched the bell for Auggle Savoy, who on entering, he said to him: "Auggle, bring in three Bryan grape juices with about two-thirds of Black and White in it." "Got you, King," said Auggle, and hurried off down stairs where he took an alreoplane for Lou Costley's to get the order. Now I'm giving you this just as Augle Savoy gave it to me, and as Auggle was there, he ought to know. But what I'm driving at is that there is a parallel between old Caesar and Little Lord Faunterloy. Caesar stalled around with a lot of promises made but never filled until one afternoon, when the sun had just crossed the Meridian by about 45 minutes, Skinny Cassius, old Brutus, and a half dozen or more other residents of the Eighth Police precinct, and a few other precincts, called on him for a final protest. The argument got warm: Caesar lost his head and refused to capitulate, or recapitulate: Skinny Cassius, and three or four others pulled out their Wade and Butchers, and let him have it. And then old Brutie slipped the same kind of a machine gun from his vest pocket, and swiped the fellow who thrice refused the crown on the Laplurial, Day across the pulmonary zone, and he keeled over, saying as he fell: "And thou too, you big stiff Brutus!" At Old Caesar's funeral, Judge Terrell, who was one of the pallbearers, and Sum Wormley, who sang "After the Hall," at his funeral, tell me that the young dude, Marc Anthony tried to stir up a rough house, and get the people to turn on Cassius, Brutus, et al., but although he unloaded more eloquence, and of a passionate kind, than Booker T, ever did when Old Carnegie slipped him $150,000 on the side, the people just wouldn't be aroused, and every dinged person at the funeral said Caesar got just what he deserved, he had Mexicanized the people long enough. Now the Little Lord Faurelroy has handed out more promises in the past eight years than Woody made to Dr. Bishop Walters and Monroe Trotter, and he aint kept a narry one of them. Jim Cobb, who used to have charge of pure food violations under Caesar, told me that although he was Caesar's best friend, and had served as a sort of go-between—that is a harmonizer, you know, for Caesar—he had known the old stiff to lie to him many a time, and had told him so. But added: our "delightful social relations prevented me form breaking with him." Now I wont say that Little Lord Faurelroy will, or has ever lied. That's such a brutal word, and the little rascal is such a cute little salver and romancer. But most people think he can hand out more elastile and reversable promises than any figurehead that ever fished in the Potomac. Judge Terrell, who was pretty close to Old Caesar, after he appointed him municipal judge over the protests of Danus Murraysal and Nilharddus Horneraus, said that Old Caesar had lied to him more than a dozen times, and according to his rec collection there was a striking similarity between him and the Little Lord Faurelroy. I interviewed the yaller half Jew, alias "The Georgia Peach," alias Lafe Hershawus, who used to work in the Land Office when Caesar was trying to force through a ship-purchase bill, and he told me that Caesar promised him sure he would see to it that his daughter got a fair show, and because of this promise he broke with his pastor. Right Rev. Baseballus Garner, who had opposed Caesar. "But," said Lafe Hershawus, "I got cold turkey that had been warmed over about four times in decayed promise gravel." Old Caesar, you can see, according to expert witnesses who are still living to make affidavits, brought all his trouble on himself by stalling the people with a lot of promises he knew he wasn't going to keep when he made them. And he brought the trouble on himself by unloading all the blame on other people, when the promise see found the promiser hadn't kept his promise. Close students of antiquity, and the era or epoch in which Old Caesar lived, and those who are still living who lived at that time, united in saying present conditions are similar to those. In talking to Doc. Childs, and Doc. Marshall, who were court physicians at the time Old Caesar ruled, both told me that they could not bank on a thing he said; that when they gave him a dose of rootus beerus he'd be sure to take fermenti and swear to them he had taken their prescription according to instructions. They both acknowledged that they had a mighty tough time trying to keep him straight and get exactly what they wanted, and then they failed. He was awfully nice to them, that Is Caesar was, made them a raft of promises, but never kept a narry one. "That couldn't run along forever," said Credios Childus, "and so the turn came, as it always will." P. S.—The versatile Thompson, who used to write for The Indianapolis Palladium during the reign of Old Julie Caesar, meeting me four feet from Barry's refreshment zone, told me that he used to every week send lines and lines of good dope about Julius to his paper, cause Jule sure promised him, just inferentially you know, that he would see to it that his daughter would get attached to the payroll of the public schools of Rome, but that he went back on it, and he just stopped parallyizing his digits by writin' no puffs for Jule, and began writin' roasts. That was a sure cold deal Old Julius Caesar handed Bellows Thompson, and he was justified in makin' his puffs sound like roasts. HON. MARTIN B. MADDEN HON. MARTIN B. MADDEN Continued from page 1. row Wilson's place (vociferous applause) it is no objection to him he comes from the home of the immortal president, Abraham Lincoln. (Anplause.) It gives me great pleasure to present to you the Honorable Martin B. Madden. (Prolonged applause and cheers.) Representative Martin B. Madden. It is always embarrassing to me to be shown so much consideration as you show me here tonight. I am of humble origin. I come from the state of Lincoln, and I am the son of the mother of seven boys, six of whom volunteered to serve in Lincoln's army and left their lives upon the battlefield (applause), and I have devoted my life to the accomplishment of the things which Lincoln's army left undone. (Applause.) They fought for liberty. I am fighting for justice. When this Government was formed it was given no place in the political calculations of the world. It was deemed but a passing illusion. It was thought the people were not able to govern themselves. It was considered the most gigantic experiment ever attempted by man. In the days when this Government was formed the world was substantially a monarchy, but it has been considerably liberalized since that day, and even today there is no longer an Emporer of China; there the people rule. And all of the great monarchies of the world have been liberalized and modernized, and there never will again in all the world's history be a time come when the people will submit to the organization of a government in which they shall not have a part. We have had our troubles. We have lived now for a great many years as a republic. A great many people thought this government would not endure long after it was organized, but Washington's government still lives, it has grown, it is today of giant stature, it is filled with potent life and exalted hopes. Perhaps the one test needed to prove the ability of people to rule themselves was the civil war, and never in all the history of our government was this government so potent, so full of life, so full of exalted hope to humanity and so menacing to the foes of the republic as when the sun of Appomattox shone upon our banner and revealed within its folds the galaxy of its stars. All the things that could have been done for humanity as the result of the civil war have not been done, but while there is life and men to fight the battle there is hope of ultimate success. Patriotism is what we need, the kind of patriotism which prompts men and women to die for their country; patriotism is love of country and loyalty to its life and weal, love, tender and strong, tender as the affection of son for mother, strong as the pillars of death, shrinking from no sacrifice, seeking no reward save the country's triumph. Patriotism is the vital spark of the nation's honor, the living fount of the nation's prosperity, the strong shield of the nation's safety, and there is no people within the confines of our beloved country more patriotic to the government than the race of people whose representatives sit before me tonight. (Applause.) You have much to complain of and still you don't complain. You have had reason to complain of many indignities, and yet you have always been loyal to your government. In the early history of our battles for freedom your people fought side by side with mine, and I can remember the story of an ancient battle in the early days of American history when one of the commanders of an American warship, short of a crew and looking for sailors, came across a Negro settlement where there were four hundred men. He addressed these men and said "Are there any among you who are willing to volunteer to fight for the liberty of the country?" Every one of the four hundred volunteered. That is the kind of patriotism they displayed. (Applause.) I can remember reading the story of the battle. When shot and shell blew the decks of the ship away and one poor black man, who had both legs shot off and was bleeding to death called to his comrades to throw him overboard that he might not be in their way in their battle for victory. That is patriotism and love of country. (Applause.) And then, again at the battle of New Orleans under General Jackson, no man ever fought with greater valor or greater success, with greater courage than the black men who fought under that brave general, and he had the patriotism in him to read to these men, who stood side by side with men of my race, a eulogium such as has never been read to men of any race for the work they did on a field of battle; and then in the civil war when all was dark and gloomy, when there was doubt about the outcome of the contest, when it appeared that we had lost the cause of the Union, who was it that came to the succor of the army. Three hundred and sixty-nine thousand black soldiers (applause), without whose assistance we would be living in a divided country today (applause), but as the result of whose patriotism we are living under a single flag, in a country of which we can all well be proud. (Applause). These men fought in four and forty-nine engagements during the civil war, and they left thirty-eight thousand of the men dead upon the battlefield. To say that that race is no entitled to the best consideration that can be given to it by the nation is to be jujust. The party that I belong to is out of power. We are fighting the battles for justice against great odds. We have to fight the prejudice of the South in order that justice may be given to the people of the North—whites as well as blacks. I know no man or woman because of their color. (Applause.) I know no Negro, no Irishman, no Swede, no German, no Dane, no Norwegian—I only know Americans (applause), and I come here tonight to speak to you not because you are Negroes, but because you are my fellowmen. (Applause.) I was reared by a mother who taught me that every man was born equal, and I but speak the language of her heart that throbbed with patriotism during her lifetime when I speak on the floor of the House of Representatives for justice for every man, woman and child in America.

I have no other object on earth in serving in the Congress of the United States except that it gives a wider field for the work I have started out to do, that I have an audience consisting of the whole country when I express my views on humanitarian questions, and, sometimes, somewhere, some word that I may say may act as the seed that will grow a great oak that will take a place somewhere in the defence of liberty and in the upbuilding of the moral standard of the people' of America, and who will fight for the justice that ought to be done to humanity because it is humanity. What can anyone say in behalf of his country? What could I say in a few brief words? If I was going to talk about my country I would not refer to the beauty of its rivers or the magnitude of its mountains, the fertility of its soil or its pure and health-giving air' or the valor or the patriotism of its sons who are rich in noble deeds, trained in commerce and, Industry—what I would say for my country is that she is as none other the land of human dignity and of human liberty (prolonged applause), and I want to live long enough to see the line broken against the power now wielded by the men who discriminate against the people of your race. (Applause and cheers.) Personally, I would have the representation in the House of Representatives based upon the number of people who are allowed to vote instead of the number of people who live in a State, and if that were true we would have some representation from our race, because these people down there of my race south of Mason and Dixon's line would not have many representatives according to the number of people they have there, and I am going to tell you a secret that I have never told in a public audience before. We had a Republican Congress once or twice since I have been here. All Republicans are not as liberal in their views as I am—they are willing to admit that, and I assert it—but I undertook in a caucus of Republican Members of the House one night to restrict the representation from the southern States until your people had justice done them (prolonged applause), and I came within six votes of carrying the resolution. Do you know that? (Applause and cheers.) Now, that was not done to pander to your sentimentality, because nobody ever knew that it was done outside the caucus. It was done by men who believed in justice. (Applause.) The legislation which we have recently been called upon to oppose is inquitions. Take the immigration legislation, for example. There was no more reason on earth why that should have been injected into the immigration bill than that I should be deported because I would not paint my face black, not a bit, but we had to fight it and, fortunately, we won. Take the next case, the case making criminal, marriages between blacks and whites in the District of Columbia. That was (Continued to page 6.) E. VOI Full Line of all Standard Makes of Shoes for Men Women, Children and Infants, including a complete stock of and since that time he has committed no crime that I know anything about unless it be a crime to refuse to do what the newspapers told him to do, and I am a Republican, and if I am elected I am going into the Republican caucus and if Mr. Cannon is a candidate for Speaker I am going to be for Mr. Cannon. (Laughter and applause). If I were to promise you to be against Mr. Cannon to get your votes I would consider that I was a roomtown unworthy of the confidence of any people anywhere., "I said," I came here in a closed automobile. There was nobody in the machine but me: the driver was on the outside, "and I said," I am going away from here by that same machine, and I will be in the machine alone when I leave here, and when I get into that machine and I am there alone I want to know that I am in respectable company (Laughter and applause), and if I were to say to you that I would vote against Mr. Cannon to get your votes I would not think that I was fit to look a dog in the face, and I am not going to do it." I said, "What do you do for me? You give me seventy-five hundred dollars a year when you elect me. What do I for you? I give you a life of experience that is worth—somebody else, may be to you—fifty thousand dollars a year. I give you back your seventy-five hundred dollars a year in expenses, and I give you back at least seventy-five hundred dollars a year in maintaining the office, and if you think you are doing me any favor when you elect me to Congress, you have another guess coming." (Applause.) Well, the audience rather liked my independence, and that all stood up on their chairs and shouted and said I was the right sort of stuff. And so when some of my constituents say to me, "You are too friendly with the Negroes." I tell them exactly what I told them about my friendship for Mr. Cannon, and I am going to continue to tell them that, no matter whether I am elected or not, because I don't think that being in office adds anything to the power of the man at all. It makes a lot of men cowards, for they are always wondering how they are going to prevent the loss of a vote some where or get another one, and instead of expressing their independence they express their fears and their hopes, and their love for a continuation of the office and the salary that goes with it. (Applause.) I thank God I don't have to have either the office of the salary (applause), and I know very well that in or out of office I am going to do the thing that my conscience tells me is right thing to do. If I thought I was holding the office for the power that it gives or for the renumeration that it pays, I would hate myself I have been successful in life, and I feel as if I owed my country some thing for the opportunity which I have had to succeed under the freedom which this flag gives to men who have energy and force of character, and I have quit trying to do things that make for success from a monetary standpoint, and I am devoting my life to the payment of the debt that I believe I owe my country, and that VOICE OF THE LORD TO LITTLE SAMUEL Samuel Devoted to God Before His Birth—An Opening For Service. Faithfulness In Service—Called to Higher Service—Samuel the First of Israel's Prophets. "Speak, Lord; for Thy servant heart."—1 Samuel 3.9. TODAY'S Study gives a little insight into the family conditions of the Israelites shortly after the days of Samson and of Ruth. It shows the deep religious sentiment prevailing amongst many of the people. The Tabernacle of the Lord, in this Study styled the Temple, was located at Shiloh, a few miles north of Jerusalem. The priest in charge was Ell. The people by Divine direction went annually to worship the Lord, to offer sacrifice, etc., at the Passover. The father and the mother of Samuel were of these annual worshipers before Samuel was born. On one of these visits Hannah made earnest prayer to the Lord for a son, vowing that if her petition were granted, her son should be devoted to the Lord's service for life. Her prayer was answered. The child was born and named Samuel. Samuel consecrated. When he was weaned he was presented to the Lord through Ell, to be his servant in the Tabernacle service and in his home. The word weaned we may understand to signify the time when the child was able to do without his mother's care—probably ten years old. God's Reproof of Eli. Our lesson opens with the declaration that the child Samuel "ministered unto the Lord before Ell"; that is, he was a servant of the Lord by virtue of his being a servant to Eli, the Lord's representative and priest. "The word of Jehovah was precious in those days"—it was seldom that God sent special messages at that time. "There was no open vision"—visions and revelations were not then being given. The Divine Plan was hidden. The Urim and Thummim answers of the Lord to the people's inquiries had ceased. It is supposed that Eli at this time was about seventy years old—some think nearer eighty. His vision was dim. He was sleeping in one apartment, and little Samuel in another. The latter heard a voice calling him, and three times went to Eli to ask what service he could render, only to be told that he had not been called. But by the third time Eli realized that it was God who had called Samuel; and he instructed the lad that if the voice should again he heard, he should say, "Speak, Lord; for Thy servant hearest." The voke came again, and apparently the angel of the Lord appeared to Samuel at the same time. Then the Lord gave a message to Samuel, foretelling the sad death of Ell's two sons and Ell's own death, and that Ell's family should nevermore serve the Lord as priests. The inference is given that Ell's sons misused their position as under priests, taking more of the sacrifices than they were allowed in the Divine arrangement, and practising immorality, thus misleading the people into unrighteousness. In the morning Ell inquired of Samuel whether the Lord had spoken any further, and what He said. It was a trial to Samuel to tell his friend and benefactor the Lord's judgment against himself and his family; but Ell demanded to know the full particulars, and "Samuel told him every whit." Thus it is often with the Lord's faithful servants; their tenderness of heart might prompt them to hide matters which their sense of duty may require them to speak boldly. In every case the individual's conscience must be followed, but conscience must be educated through the Word of God. When Ell heard what the Lord had declared respecting his family, he answered most lovingly. "It is the Lord: let Him do what seemeth . Him good." But however faithful and submissive he may thus appear to have been, we know that his character was not a satisfactory to God. He would have been more pleasing to the Lord had he had more firmness of Ell the Precet. character-a clearer appreciation of his duty toward the Lord as His servant, and toward his own children as their father. We may be sure that strong characters are most pleasing to everybody. They may in some respects be the more difficult to deal with, but, nevertheless, firmness of character is a jewel, highly esteemed by all wise people, as well as by the Lord. Samuel grew in favor with God and with Eli, and with all Israel, as they came to know him. They perceived that the Lord's Spirit was with him, and that he would be a representative of God amongst them. Samuel is styled the first of the Prophets of Israel; and our Lord informs that John the Baptist was the last. (Matthew 11:11.) Failure to discern the change from the Jewish to the Christian Dispensation, which began at Pentecost, leaves many Christians in confusion.

Everest Granger Opposes Race Prejudice, However. Upholding in his sermon at Gunton Temple Memorial Presbyterian Church last night the right of white men to discriminate against members of any other race, Rev. C. Everest Granger, pastor of the church, declared “discri- mination” is often mistaken for race prejudice. The two, however, he as- serted, are distinct, and he held that race prejudice as such should be dis- couraged by all Christians without in any way infringing the right of white persons to discriminate {i favor of members of their own race and against the members of any other race. : Rey. Mr. Granger offered no solution of the so-called “race problem” in the United States, saying that conditions arising out of the misdeeds of men. have made necessary the position of the white and colored races in this country. Rev. C. Everest Granger, pastor of Gunton Temple Memorial Presbyterian Chureh, diseusses race prejudice and replies at some length to.the recent pamphlet of Rev. F. J. Grimkin on the same subject. The Bee has already said that there was more religious hypoériey among — Protestants than among the Catholics so. far as the Colored people are con- eerned. There are one or two statements to which The Bee agrees with this Christian gentle- man and that is when he charges that there is as mitch discrimina- tion and prejudice among certain elasses of Colored people in this eity ag there is among the whites and yet these white Christians shonld not discriminate against any class on account of color or condition. ~ When Christ went about heal- ing the sick, he didn’t discrimi- naiae on account of color and why should a Christian discrimi- nate? Of course any person has a right to chose his company, but no Christian, if he believes in the religion of Jesuy Christ, should discriminate on account of color. The wore intelligent classes of Colored people are not looking for social equality. it is that — class that is too white to be black and too black to be white, but would attempt to be white among white ‘people. ‘There are in certain gov- ernment departments today and the Colored publie schools certain teachers who believe — themsélves too white to associate with or to recognize their own people upon the public streets. . Rey. Granger is right so far as this paragraph of his letter is concerned. About two years ago, there was 2 Color eraze in an or- ganization known as the Kingdom. What wast Certain Colored peo- ple who arrogated to themselves superiority in color over the darker grain. If a few of these so called social fakers were to be dissected it couldn't stand the light. The Colored people have .a right to purchase houses wherever their money will enable them, If they should see* a house offered for sale in a square in which peo- ple live and they are able to pur- chase that house and the owner is willing to sell it to them, what crime is there in purchasing the house? The Colored citizen couldn't enter the square if he were not invited to purchase the house and inducements offered to the purchaser. In this Rev. Granger is in error. Relative to intermarriage, the Bee only finds this craze among those to whom it referred in this article, the so-called lily white Colored gentleman? and ladyt. Then again, Rev. Granger can’t jiave as much confidence in his women as the Colored man has in his. No Colored man can force a “white woman to marry him any jnore than a Colored woman can fored 4 white man to marry her. Who is to blame? Now, if the Rey. Mr. Granger has any faith in the Christian religion he ought to know that his doctrine is wrong to some extent. The Bee is opposed to intermar- riages and no sensible Colored person will advoeate it, but let there be no law against it, be- cause it is an evidence of coward- ice on the part of those who make such @ law. CONDEMNS WORK BY UNSKILLED LABOR. Manual Training Night School for Colored Pupils. Condemnation of the system by which grown men are taught brick- laying, plastering, and other bullding trades and encouraged to undertake jobs when not skilled was made by Hugh Digney, business agent of the Pafnters and Decorators’ Union at the meeting of Central "Labor Union last night. The legislative committee of the central body was instructed to protest against the manual training alght school for. colored pupils at First and H streets southwest to the conferees on the District appropriation bill with a view to reducing the appropriation for the school in order to limit its instruction. Mr. Digney told the cen- tral union that it was unfair to the building trades, to the owners of bulld- ings, and to the tenants to have un- skilled men from this school doing work that should be done by skilled sorkmen.—Washington Times, An excerpt from the Washing- ton Times and reproduced in The Bee this week is another act of narrowness on the part of certain trade organizations. While Labor organizations will not permit Colored mechanics to join their organizations, and neither will these trades conducted by white mechanics admit Colored boys to learn trades or admit them as ap- prentices. Now, we have our own trade schools and competent Col- ored mechanies to teach them. We have Colored mechanics sufficient- ly competent to teach any trade in the market. Some time ago several local schools for teaching the operation of automobiles for whites; henee no Colored man was permitted to enter. But men and boys ledrned the business just the same. We have an expert au- tomobile operator in our Colored ‘High School in the person of Prof. |W. G. Craig, was willing to teach Colored boys the business, but some smart individual would not permit him to establish a school in the building, Prof. Craig is not only an exeeutor but « practical mechanic. He wanted to teach boys a business that would be a benefit to them. We want this Central Labor Union to attend to its own business and permit. the Colored teachers to attend to theirs. Colored men from this trade school- are not, only competent mechanics but ‘many of them are highly educated, The Bee is con- fident that the -teachers in these }Colored trade schools are more highly educated and = are more competent than the whites are who are protesting. Where can you find i more competent in- Structor and supervisor than Prof. Newman, the supervisor of the vo- cational schools, He’ is the man iwho first conceived the idea of es. tablishing: voeational schools in the Colored schools. He is a ered- it to the publie school system in the District of Columbia. A man who is loved and appreciated by his teachers and popular with the people. lis teachers in all branches imder him are highly educated and competent in their respective branches, These white trade organizations are against Colored mechanics and if we de- sire to teach old men trades, who show that they are not too old to Jearn, why should the Central La- bor Union he disturbed? Those white prejudiced mechanical: or- ganizations might as well recon- eile themselves to the fact that Colored boys intend to learn everything they learn and surpass them in the shuffle. And the soon- er they realize this the more at ease their hearts and nerves will be. ANOTHER DENIAL. Attorney General Gregory has issued an order to all United States attorneys to protest in the courts the suspension of sentences in all convictions, the continuation ‘of sentences, ete. Now, here is another Daniel come to judgment. The Attorney General, by such an order. dictates to the court what it should or should not do. If the Attorney General knew it all and all the courts were iguorant and didn’t know their duty and power, perhaps then’ he could dictate to the eourts. This is the most presumptious piece of busi- ness The Bee has ever recorded. By this order, a man after convie- tion and if the court is disposed to do so, cannot place him on pro- bation. What became of the law placing convicts on ' probation’ Does the Attorney General know that such a law is in existence? Does he ‘mean to say that he is above the United States Supreme Court or any other Court? : ——— TRUE, Among Baptists, Presbyterians and all other denominations, Cath- olics excepted, you will find more race prejudice and racial diserim- ination than you will find in the hayseeds of the South. The Colored Americans expect nothing but opposition and discrimination from the South. Why has the South just begun to show her cloven foot. The South knows with the Colored vote out of the way that section would not be able to control the United States as it does now. As it looks, the South is controlling the ‘civilized world. It is no use to talk, the South is jealous of the progress of the Col- ored people. The Southern Col- ored man is far ahead of those who are introducing measures tending to make him their infer: iors. These church people should be. Christianized as well as civili- fond CHANGE COMING. In another column of the Bee this week will be read with in- terest am excerpt ‘from the Wash- ington correspondent of the In- dianapolis Freeman on the local school situation. This corre- spondent only expresses a mild opinion of the sentiment in this city against the longer retention of the present administrator of the Colored schools. Relative to the paragraph concerning — the Editor, it is untrue. If such a rumor is afloat it was cireulated after the Editor refused to enter a deal, which will be fully explain- ed later on or at a more appro- priate time and in’ the proper place. A MANLY STAND. Mr. George Hamilton, ‘presi- dent. of the Washington Traction Company, opposes the so-called “Jim Crow’’ car bill offered by the great (7) statesman from Florida. The Bee has maintain. ed all along that sueh a bill would not stand muster because Con- gress has already passed a law, which is part of the charter of all railroad cars in the District of Columbia which is as follows: “No person shall be prohibited the right to travel on ears of said roud, or be ejected therefrom by the Company's employes, for any other cause than that of being drank, disordgrly, or contagious: ly diseased, for the use of obscene and profane language, refusing te pay the legal fare, or a failure te comply with the awful regula- tions of the company.” Mr. Hamilton goes onto say for fifty years the colored people have been riding in his ears and he has found no fault with them. “The Bee thanks you. Mr, [ane ilton, for this compliment to the Colored people of Washington. VR TAWKING. One of the most polished men in the A.M. E. Methodist Churely and one of the most competent is Mr, Hawkins, the financial seere- tary of the A.M. E. Methodist Church. For honesty and integ- rity and exegutive ability Mr. Hawkins canhot be surpassed. Ils payticnlar office is now ont of polities and he isa mar? who ean- not be bribed. Te is above sus- picidn. BISHOP ROSS. Rumor has it that Rev. 1. N. Ross, formerly pastor of the Met- ropolitan Methodist Chureh, will be made a bishop by the next con- ference. ‘This appointment would certainly meet the approval not only of the Methodists but of the entire country. TIRALTIT WEEE - The timely circular issued by Dr. Booker T. Washington desig- nating March 21 to 27 as National Health week should be observed by the Colored people throughout this country. The Bee would ad- vise all good Colored Americans to be liberal in their views and loy- al to the great cause suggested by Mr. Washington. . THE COLORED LAWYER. Perhaps there is no member of the local bar better known and more ap- preciated by the bar, inrespective of color, than Mr. John A. Moss. In years gone by, a fifty dollar find for ‘contempt was no more for him to pay than a five dollar bill. Mr. Moss had all the practice then. He ts what you may call the nestor of the bar so far as colored lawyers are concerned, with perhaps but two exceptions. Mr. James H. Smith and Mr. Thomas War- rick came along in those days, and there was no man had a larger prac- ‘tice than Mr. James H. Smith. Mr. ‘Moss resignéd his job in the Library of Congréss to take up the practice of jaw. He was a fighter and he would hit anybody who attempted to in- fringe his on. legal right. The most sensational case was when he re signed from the Library of Congress, when he was assaulted by some white man, who struck him. Mr, Moss was a prominent figure at the bar under the Iate Judge Snell. Whenever Mr. Moss arrived at court you could always look out for the Imposition of a fine before the day was out. He is author- ity on contempt, The most celebrated contempt case was the imposing of a fail sentence by Mr. Justice Wright and at that time some of the leading white and Colored members of the bar came forth to defend him, namely Messrs. Baker and Hewlett, of whom ‘The Bee will deal in its next issue. No two men in by-gone years were more loyal to ‘their clients than Messre. Moss and Hewlett, and no two men had any better practice than they had. The life of Attorney Moss at the bar is a most interesting one and an inspiration for those who may come hereafter. JIM CROW LEGISLATION. Se ee: ee ee ae cee eee What of the Negro? And what of the end? A thousand echoes answer back that unless the Negro and his friends bestir themselves as never before, those infamous measures which a Negro-hating Democrat proposes to ram down the throats of the people of the District of Columbla—and ram them down in spite of the fact that the people here ‘have made no request for such measures, for the very good reason that they ‘have, been getting along nicely without "them—unless there is some keen hustling right now by the Negroes themselves, these “jim Crow” bills are going to ‘become laws, with all the dark train of humiliation, and other things which such laws everywhere connote. As a part of the hustling referred to above, I am pleased to note the activities of that splendid band of young men composing -the member- ship of the Tau Delta Sigma frater- nity of the Law School of Howard University. ‘Beginning Monday evening, February fifteenth, these young men will hold three monster mass meetings in three different churehes in this city. The second meeting will take place Wednesday evening, and the third will be held Friday evening, If the colored people fail to come out and pack those meet- ings to overflowing, then they cer- tainly do not realize’ the crisis that is upon them, and they are trifling with thelr own-future.

Woodson, Ph.D., addressed the Teachers' Association at the M Street High School on Tuesday, February 2, 3:30 p. m., on the subject, "The Education of the Negro Prior 1860." He showed that no formal schooling was given in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, but that the French and Spanish educated the slaves for economic efficiency and the development of Christianity. Education for Negroes was not so acceptable to English colonies, he claimed, but nevertheless, until about 1835 was very common even in Southern groups. In Massachusetts separate public schools were extant until 1855 when a fusion took place. The speaker held that from the study we were to get larger inspiration for service and growth. The subject will appear soon in book form. Howard Dental Parlors The only up to date dental parlors in the city operated by Colored Dental Surgeons.

Los Angeles, Cal.—"There will come a day," says R. L. Garner, who tutored Maesterluck in the ways of animals, "when all animal and bird life will become articulate. A dream? Cannot the bee teach us a higher communism—the quick, effective elimination of the unfit and shirker? Cannot the birds tell us their secret of flying? Would we not like to know why the oriole, the oven bird or castle building ant are so much better engineers than we?" Garner says he thinks the gorilla and chimpanzee more civilized than man because they are more monogamous. He spent twenty-five years studying these animals in the Kongo and after a vacation will return there. It is from the gorillas and chimpanzees, he says, that "will come the first twin cables from which scientists will hang a bridge on which man and his lesser brothers of the world will meet in oracular converse." OLD HOTEL FOR HOMELESS. St. Caroline's Court Once Was Social Favorite In Chicago. Chicago - St. Caroline's Court hotel, which forty years ago was the center of many of Chicago's social functions, will become a shelter for unemployed and homeless men. The famous hostelry is richly decorated in marble filling and art work imported from France. Marble staircases, a rotunda with art glass windows, inlaid wood and art work in the ballroom still remain to recall the old time splendors of the structure. The use of the hotel has been granted to the Christian Industrial league, which plans to provide free lodging to as many men as safely can be accommodated. Mattresses and blankets will be provided for 800. Shower baths also will be installed. Coffee and rolls will be given the men every morning without charge. The hotel will be maintained by funds given by charities. Austin, Tex.-James E. Ferguson of Temple, banker and farmer, inaugurated governor on Jan. 19, is the first man to go direct from active business life into the office of chief executive of Texas. All of his predecessors had previously held political office of some kind. Governor Ferguson issued a statement in which he said he hoped to see more miles of railroad built in Texas in 1915 than in any previous year; the number of silos increased at least tenfold; more permanent highways built; a new record in the matter of immigration to the state; more hogs and cattle raised than ever before and a greatly increased yield of corn and other grain. There was not a hint of politics anywhere in the message. Those intimately acquainted with the governor say his administration will be free from that species of politics which stirs up class antagonism; there will be no pitting of the farmers against the corporations. Having been a farmer all his life and a banker for many years, he wants these two interests to be friendly and co-operate. In his younger days he was a railroad laborer, and he helped to build many miles of track. During his campaign for governor he promised that he would not permit any liquor legislation, either pro or con, on that subject if he could prevent it. Since the election the higher courts have nullified the liquor laws in some essential particulars, and it is known that bills will be introduced dealing with the provisions thus volded, and the Prohibitionists claim a working majority in both houses. Lieutenant Governor 4V. P. Hobby of Beaumont, like Mr. Ferguson, never held public office and belongs to the conservative business element. He is owner and editor of the Beaumont Enterprise. SCIENTIST WHIPS POLECAT. Then University Gives Professor Two Weeks' Leave. Berkeley, Cal.-T. C. Hine, professor of the chemistry department of the University of California, fought a hard battle with a polecat in the library of the university recently. Victory perched on the crown of the savant after he had bombarded his antagonist with some of the choice volumes of the university library's modern literature and followed up his strategic move by tossing a hat box over the invader. A quantity of chloroform poured through a tiny hole in the box stopped the polecat's activities. The professor has been given a two weeks' leave of absence. Objected to English Language. Brussels.—German officers dining in a restaurant showed displeasure when two men near them conversed in English, and finally one officer announced the strangers would oblige if they wouldn't talk in English, as it annoyed him. One of the English speaking men handed the German his card. It bore the name of Brand Whitlock, minister of the United States in Belgium. The German saluted and apologized.

SH INSTRUGT BRITIS Exiles Show Gratitude by Re: vealing Secrets of Work. London.—England is to reap benefits from the agricultural skill of the Bel: gian farmers who are exiles in' Great Britain. As a token of their apprecia- tion of British hospitality the queen of the Belgians has suggested that the agriculturists from ber country in- struct English farmers in the system of intensive cultivation which has made Belgium famous the world over. A coumittee headed by Sir Richard Paget has been appointed, and ar- rangements «tre being made to delegate Belgian experts who will direct their fellow countrymen in preparing Eng: lish land for intensive cultivation. The British and’ Belgiuns alike are eager to have all Belgians return to their homes as svon as possible, but mean- time there is a desite to make the Bel- glans as little burden as possible on , the British, and the agricultural colony | plan has been hit upon as a desirable ‘means of employing Belgians where they will not be in direct competition with Englishmen. « | As many as five crops of vegetables are grown in a single year by the Bel gians oa tracts under glass.

New York City, Feb. 7. — Pastor Russell, at the New York City Temple, W. G3d St. near Broadway, addressed a very attentive audience today.

His discourse was based on the text, "What doth thy God require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" (Micah 6:8) He said in part: Is it possible that the true religion of the Bible demands nothing more of us than is expressed in this text? What about the Jewish Law? What about its sin-offering, its burnt-offering, its thank-offering? What about the Ten Commandments? What about the digest of those commandments approved by our Lord Jesus—"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy mind, with all thy being, with all thy strength; and thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself"? What about church attendance? What about our responsibility to our families, to the church, to the poor? What about Bible study to know God's will? What about our responsibility for the heathen? What about Baptism and the Lord's Supper? Indirectly all the matters covered by our questions, and many more, are included incidentally in the provisions of our text. Sometimes a whole sermon is preached in a few words. No one will dispute the reasonableness of the Divine requirement as stated in our text. Our Creator could not justly or with self-respect ask less than this of His creatures who would enjoy His favor. The interests of all demand that these principles should be required of every creature permitted the enjoyment of Divine favor to the extent of eternal life. Whoever fails to come up to these conditions would thus evidence his unworthiness of life eternal. His prolonged existence would merely be a prospering of sin and a menace to happiness and righteousness. Let us see the scope of this Divine requirement, whose justice we have already acknowledged. We note the natural division of our text into three parts: (1) Doing justly; (2) Loving mercy; (3) Walking humbly. The requirement of justice in all our dealings with our fellows commends used to every rational mind. Justice includes the whole Law of God. A brief statement of that Law, which had our Lord's approval, reads, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, all thy mind, all thy being and all thy strength, and thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." On these two propositions hang all the Law and the Prophets. It is but just that we should recognize our Creator as first, that we should glorify the One who gave us our being and all the blessings that come therewith, that we should be obedient to His righteous requirements which make for our own happiness and that of others. It is also but right that we should recognize the rights of others as we would have them recognize our rights. The Golden Rule is the barest of justice. Not a hair-breadth less would come within the requirements of our text—Do justly Come, then, let us reason together. How many of us do justly in all of life's affairs—in our relationship to our God and to our neighbor? Begin Justice at Home. Let each one criticise his words and his deeds toward his parents, his children, his brothers, his sisters, toward husband toward wife. In all our relationships of life do we treat those who are so near and dear to us according to the standards of justice—according to the Golden Rule? Do we doward them as we would have them to toward us? If not, after making a beginning with the Lord, striving, to render to Him our homage and obedience let us closely scrutinize every word every act, of the home life, and so what extent these can be improved upon and made more nearly just. The majority of people, we feel sure be surprised to know how much they have been toward those who are of the very nearest and dearest of social relationships. Follow the matter up, and consider the justice or injustice of your words and deeds in daily life with your neighbors and associates. Do you inariably speak to them in the same words and with the same tone and posture that you would approve if they were in your place and you in belts? In business matters do you drive a closer bargain with them than you would think just for them to make with you? Or, on the other hand, do you ask of them higher prices for the services or the materials you furnish them than you would consider just and right if you were the purchaser and they the vendors? Do you watch your chickens that they do not consult depredations upon your neighbor's garden, even as you would wish your neighbor to watch his chickens as respects your garden. If you had one? Are you as prompt in paying your bills as you wish your neighbors to be in paying you? Are you as careful about wiping your feet, when entering his home, as you would like him to be when entering your house? Do you treat all men, women, children and animals as kindly, as gently, as properly, as you think would be just and right if you were in their place and they in yours? Do you speak as kindly of your neighbors as you would have them speak of you? Or do you hold up their imperfections to ridicule, as you would not like to have them hold up yours? Do you so guard your tongue that you speak only things that you would think proper for your neighbor to speak respecting you. If you changed places? Simple Justice—Nothing More. Do you not begin to see, dear friends, that what God requires of us is much beyond what the majority have been rendering? Do you stand appalled, and tell me that it would be impossible to live fully up to that standard? I agree with you. St. Paul also agrees, saying, "We cannot do the things which we would." The Scriptures again agree and declare, "There is none righteous, no, not one." All have sinned and come short of the story of God." Romans 3:23. What shall we do? Shall we say it because we are unable to live up to our own standards of justice we will abandon those standards? God orbid! We are weak enough and imperfect enough as it is. To ignore our best ideals of justice would be to permit the downward tendencies of our depraved natures to go rapidly from bad to worse—to carry as further and further from God and the standards of character which He approves. We can surely be content to do nothing less than our very best to live up to our own ideals and to raise those ideals as nearly as possible to the Divine standard. Suppose we do our very best daily to measure up to our highest conceptions of our God-given ideals and standards, would God accept of this and count us worthy of His favor and of eternal life? Surely not! The Law of the Lord is perfect. Justice is Justice. Not the hearing of a law, not the well-wishing, receives the reward, but the doer, the obedient. Here, then, we find ourselves in difficulty. With our hearts, our minds, we approve God's Law and desire to be obedient to Him; but we find, as St. Paul says, that many things we wish to do we fail to accomplish, and many of the things we do not wish to do we cannot avoid. We approve the excellent demands of God's Law. We disapprove the imperfections of our own flesh. Like St. Paul we cry out, "O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from this dead body?"—this body that is imperfect through inherited sin and weakness. With our minds we serve God's Law and approve it; but with our bodies we come short. We cannot hope for a change in the Divine Law. Are we then hopeless as respects Divine approval and eternal life? We answer, No. Eternal Life the Gift of God. In our moment of perplexity we hear God's Message "speaking peace through Jesus Christ our Lord." The Message of Peace is that what we could not do for our-gives. God has provided shall be done for us through our Lord Jesus Christ. Our failure to keep the Law marks us as unworthy of eternal life, and worthy of the wages of sin—not eternal torment, but death. God in mercy concluded to offer us eternal life as a gift; for we do not actually merit it under His legal requirements. Thus we read, "The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23.) What we could not obtain legally under the Divine requirements God proffers us as a gift. But the gift is conditional, as expressed in the words, "through Jesus Christ our Lord." Only those who accept Jesus Christ as "the Way, the Truth and the Life" may have God's gift of eternal life. Hence it will be seen that it is wholly a mistake to suppose that the heathen at home or abroad can get eternal life, the gift of God, in ignorance of Christ. All the Scriptures declare not only that we cannot save ourselves by obedience to the terms of God's Law, but that "there is none other name under Heaven given amongst men, whereby we must be saved"—through faith in His blood. But how is this done justly? And why does God so limit His gift of eternal life? We reply that God's Law represents Himself and cannot change. He cannot require less than perfection. To do so would be to fill the Universe with imperfect and depraved beings. God has a higher plan than this and declares, "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways." (Isalah 55:9). He explains that His ultimate purpose is that there shall be no imperfect creature in all His Universe. All whose hearts are loyal to Him and to the principles of His Government shall be perfected, and all others shall be destroyed in the Second Death. Thus eventually "every knee shall bow and every tongue confess, to the glory of God." Then every creature which is in Heaven and on the earth, and such as are in the aea, shall be heard saying Blessing and honor and glory and power be unto Him that sitteth upon the Throne, and to the Lamb forever. "Ye Are Bought With a Price." Possibly God could have arranged some other way of dealing with sin and sinners which would not have required the death of Jesus as the Ransom-price, the Redemption-price, for sinners. But the fact that this method was adopted by our great Creator assures us that no other method would have been so wise, so just, so beneficial. No other method would have so fully demonstrated. God's Wisdom, Justice, Love and Power. In brief, then, God's arrangement is that all of His human creatures shall have opportunity of full return to harmony with Himself, provided they wish to do so, provided their hearts, their wills, are fully responsive to the letter, and the spirit of His Law—the requirements set forth in our text. God has provided in Jesus for the satisfaction of Divine Justice as respects all of the condemned race who desire to return to His favor. We agree with all the orthodox creeds of Christendom that only repentance of sin and an endeavor to put it away from our thoughts, words and deeds, combined with faith in the Redeemer's sacrifice and a full consecration of heart and life to do the Father's will, are attainments nothing short of which will gain the salvation which God is now holding out to mankind. To such as comply with these conditions the Apostle, explains that the righteousness of the Law of God, His full requirement, "is fulfilled in us who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." - Romans S1. From the moment of our consecration and begetting of the Holy Spirit God deals with this class as with sons. He trains them in the School of Christ, disciplining, chastening, proving them, testing the sincerity of their consecration vows and the loyalty of their hearts. To those who prove faithful the great reward is promised—glory, honor, immortality, joint-heir ship with Jesus Christ in His Millennial Kingdom and its work of blessing all the families of the earth. Our disagreement with all orthodox creeds is respecting what shall be done with the unintentionally with those who do not present themselves to God and who are not begotten again of the Holy Spirit. Our creeds of the Dark Ages misrepresented the teachings of the Bible in respect to these and told us that they are all to be consigned for hundreds or thousands of years to Purgatory or for all eternity in Hell torment. Not such is the teaching of God's Word, but the very reverse, as we have previously shown. The Scriptures do not declare. In thy Seed shall all the families of the earth be damned; but -the very reverse of this- that they shall all be blessed. All of the sin-blinded eyes shall be opened. All the deaf ears of ignorance shall be unstopped. During that blest thousand years of Christ's Beign the world's uplifting or resurrection will proceed, while the knowledge of the glory of God shall fill the whole earth. The angels on the plains of Bethlehem did not declare to the shepherds. Fear greatly; for behold, we bring you bad tidings of great misery which shall be unto all people. Their message was the very reverse of this: "Fear not; behold, we bring you Good Tidings of great joy which shall be unto all people"-Luke 2:10, 11. God, who had a due time for calling Natural Israel and, who had also a due time for calling Spiritual Israel, has a due time for making known the riches of His grace to the non-elect world of mankind. And the Elect of Spiritual Israel and of Natural Israel are to be the channels of this Divine mercy and grace, which during the Millennial Age will flow as a river of salvation, and to which all mankind will be invited to corge and drink freely. Love Mercy and Walk Humbly. It may astonish some that God requires even more than Justice, which in His legal standard. In His permission of shi and its wage of death, He has shown His own mercy and love, and it is for the sinner's benefit, and for the good of all, that God requires that all who desire the full benefit of His mercy shall be required to cultivate this mercy in their own hearts. As the sinner attempts to conform his life to the perfect standard, and finds himself unable to keep God's Law and obliged to come for mercy to the Throne of Grace, he is informed that he can have mercy only upon condition that he will exercise similar mercy toward those who trespass against him, his ideals, his interests. Jo "love mercy" is to go even beyond loving justice, and signifies a delight in yielding personal rights and privileges in the interest of others, where no principles are involved. It implies readiness to forgive the faults of others—a disinclination to be too exacting in respect to others, as well as a desire to be very exacting in respect to our treatment of others. Humility is a quality very essential to every creature. Pride is a foe which not merely besets the weak and imperfect, but which overcame the great angel of light. Lucifer, and transformed him from a faithful servant of Jehovah into Satan, the adversary of God. We are glad, therefore, that Divine Wisdom requires humility as one of the conditions of our acceptance with Him. This requirement assures us of the security of the Divine Empire against all future treason; for none will be admitted to the eternal life conditions, either now or in the Millennial Age, except the humble. Let us hearken to the lesson of our text and to the Apostle's words, "Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time." WAR'S EFFECT ON CAPITAL SOCIETY RECEPTIONS ARE CANCELED. Difficult For Hostess to Maintain Her Neutrality - When, the Fighting Ceases No Doubt the Diplomats Will Be Just as Good Friends as Ever, but Will Not Talk of War. Washington. -It is a long, long way from London, Berlin, Vienna, Paris or Petrograd to Washington, but when peace fled from Europe and declarations of war hurtled through space confusion beset society here. Neutrality has a pleasant sound, but when suddenly one beholds one's bosom friends, companions at many a supper and dance, deliberately crossing a street to avoid a meeting, everyday existence becomes a cross between bewilderment and despair. The cosmopolitan character of Washington, always its boast and its charm, suddenly has become its menace. "One must eat—why not eat with friends?" is the phrase on the tip of the tongue. Those who understand the situation, those who have the skill and adroltness to bring together "understanding" groups of men and women, today preside brilliantly over small groups at table. Arranged for six or eight or perhaps ten persons, with one or another of the ministers of the belligerent nations and their allies as principal guests, these "little dinners" are brave feasts, and many times are worth a place in history. Through the diplomatic corps runs the rift of the world's war. Face to face on opposite sides of Connecticut JOHN H. BURKE Photos by Vivian Press Association. SIR CECIL SPRINGLICK, BRISTISH AMBASSADOR, HOPP, AND COUNT VON BERNSTORT OF GERMAN AMBASSADOR (BELOW), avenue, in the heart of the fashionable promenade, stand the houses of two men whose countries and whose kinfolk are in a death grip. Since early manhood the warmest personal friendship has obtained between them and the members of their families. Successively in their diplomatic careers they have been assigned to the same posts. They came to Washington simultaneously. Together, like boys on a holiday, they searched the countryside for a summer home, and adjoining places were chosen. When the war came the street wide space between the British embassy, where Sir Cecil Spring-Rice abides, and the Austro-Hungarian embassy, where his long time friend, the ambassador of Austria-Hungary, Dr. Constantin Theodor Dumba, lives, at once became wide as the distance between the poles. Everybody is "looking sharp" these days. The diplomats carefully avoid a meeting. If despite precautions meetings take place a formal bow of recognition scarcely perceptible to the passerby is all that may be passed between erstwhile friends. At the German embassy, where hospitality was generous and brilliant, where the private rooms are lined with photographs of men and women notable in all ranks of American society, where fair haired, pink cheeked Countess Alexandra von Bernstorff made her debut surrounded by her friends in the American capital, where later, in the presence of her American friends, her marriage vows to Count Raymond Pourtales were taken rather than in the fatherland, there rests the stillness of the 'grave'. Countess von Bernstorff remained in Germany with her daughter, whose husband has gone to war. The atmosphere of the French embassy is the same. Count von Bernstorff, who was the good companion of the French ambassador, J. J. Jusserand, both men having much in common, finds the friendship of a decade interrupted. M. Hennessy 216 Hinth Street.
