IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE VOL. XXXV, NO. 40 WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1915 MARYLAND SCHOOLS Second Quarterly Meeting of the Prince George County Colored Teachers Associations.—The Greatest Meeting in the History of the Association—Prof. James F. Armstrong's Success as a Supervisor. Upper Marlboro. Md., February 19.—The Prince Georges' County Colored Teachers Association held its second quarterly meeting in the Marlboro court house Friday morning, February 19th. At nine o'clock a special coach attached to the regular train, headed by Prof. James F. Armstrong, supervising principal, accompanied by about seventy-five guests and teachers, left the Chesapeake Junction and arrived at Marlboro, Md., at 10 a. m., and proceeded to the court house where the crowd was joined by the other teachers and their friends from the different districts in Prince George County. It was a most enjoyable event and the Maryland teachers surpassed in a great extent teachers from other sections of the country. It was an educational holiday for the Colored citizens of Upper Marlboro. Judge Filmore Beall, out of respect to the Colored Teachers Association, adjourned his court to a smaller room to accommodate the Colored Teachers Association. The court officials and other distinguished white school officials did all in their power to assist in making the meeting of their teachers agreeable and contented. The teachers as well as the guests were dressed in their best so that their appearance and their deportment were admired by those who are masters of the schools and government at Marlboro. At 10:30 a. m., Supervisor Armstrong, with the dignity of Chesterfield, called the meeting to order and after prayer by Rev. W. H. Hughes, His Honor, Judge Filmore Beal, was introduced and said in part that the people of Maryland were in sympathy with the Colored race. We have surrendered this court room today to you for the purpose for which you have assembled. You will exchange views on education and all subjects pertaining to education and otherwise. The state authorities of Maryland, or rather the state authorities, are doing what is best for the education of the Colored race. We want to have the young of your race to be educated along the lines that will be best for all concerned. You are welcome and I trust that your meeting will be beneficial and I, therefore, surrender this court house to you and your worthy supervisor, Prof. Armstrong. (Long applause.) At the conclusion of the judge's address, Prof. Armstrong announced that he had the most loyal set of teachers in the world. "Just think of it," remarked the speaker, "out of forty-nine teachers on my roll, forty-nine are present today." This remark was the occasion of another demonstration of appreciation. The first song was sung by the entire teaching body and the spectators as follows: My Maryland. The despot's hell is on thy shore, Maryland, My Maryland. His torch is at thy temple door, Avenge the patriotic gore That flecked the streets of Baltimore, And be the battle queen of yore, Maryland, My Maryland. Hark to an exiled son's appeal, Maryland, My Maryland. My Mother State, to thee, I kneel, Maryland, My Maryland. For life and death, for woe and weal, Thy peerless chivalry reveal, And gird thy beauteous limbs with steel, Maryland? My Maryland. Thou wilt not cower in the dust, Maryland, My Maryland. Remember Carroll's sacred trust, Remember Howard's war-like thrust, And all thy slumbers with the just, Maryland, My Maryland. The welcome address was made by Prof. J. E. Diggs. He is one of the known teachers in Maryland and a man of push and industry. Response was made by Mrs. R. A. Henry. Mrs. L. E. Crouse was the next speaker. She was followed by Mrs. H. E. Talafero (Tee Bee) Clinton, Md. Her paper was on Industrial Education. She is an excellent writer and a good speaker. She advocated manual training for the boys and spoke strongly in its favor. At this juncture Mr. Swansen, formerly superintendent of schools, was introduced and he paid a most glowing tribute to the Colored people and schools in Prince George county, Md. Mr. Swansen said that he loved the Colored people and was always glad to be among them. He was loudly applauded after having given some additional advice as to cleanliness and good manners. It is true, he said that you all labor under adverse conditions. Miss Mamie I. Brown, of Glendale, Md., was the next speaker. Mrs. Shaw, teacher in Domestic Science, was among the guests. She was introduced and made a most excellent address. Mrs. Hattie C. DeVille read a very interesting paper on Domestic Science. Miss DeVille is a very refined and accomplished speaker. She teaches in Fairmount Heights and is considered one of the best teachers in the state in Domestic Science. Superintendent Burroughs was intro- duced and pald Mr. J. A. Campbell, who has charge of the Bennings, Md., school, as having the best school in Prince George county. The compliment is one that will long be remembered and an example for others. Miss Mamie I. Brown, of Glendale, Md., was the next speaker. She read a very interesting paper. She was followed by Editor W. Calvin Chase of the Washington Bee. His address was loudly endorsed. He was followed by Rev. W. A. E. Hughes and Rev. R. Coats. At 12:45 the association repaired to the Town Hall and the residence of Prof. J. E. Diggs, one of the best-known teachers in Prince George county, where the entire body was served with a most excellent dinner. Afternoon Session.

Hunt read a most interesting paper on The Methods of Penmanship. It was one of the best papers that was read at the session. She had a chart and in an artistic manner explained the different curves in penmanship.

Armstrong and the white school officials of Prince George's County, Md. Also credit is due to President Diggs, and thanks of the association is extended to Judge Beal and the Superintendent of schools. A resolution was adopted thanking the superintendent for the Christmas gift to the teachers. PARAGRAPHIC. Martin Hopewell, 90 years old, of Baltimore, Md., a former slave, died last week. He was known as the man who never slept. Since November 27, 1914, when he entered the hospital with a compound fracture of the leg until two hours before his death, he never closed his eyes. For a bet, he ate a whole ham and a barrel of ginger cakes during his younger days. Satan's twins—those who do evil for evil.

Camp Spring School, Prof. William H. Culver, Teacher. Prof. James F. Armstrong, supervisor, visited and spent the day in school No. 2, District No. 6, Tuesday, February 23, 1915. Prof. W. H. Culver, the very efficient teacher, met the supervisor at Red's Corner near Clinton, Md. They went from Reds Corner to the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah Bruce, where had been prepared breakfast. After breakfast the two professors proceeded to the school house about fifty yards away. There they met the school house literally full of bright boys and girls who were on their best behavior. After devotional exercises Prof. Culver turned the school over to the supervisor who examined the work in detail. He found "RED'S CORNER." the pupils progressing nicely and the school in a fine condition. Prof. Culver is one of the strong teachers of this county. The supervisor found that the industrial work of the school had been begun and he saw all evidence of success in that work also. The regular work of this school is not broken into during the week but the afternoon of each Friday is used and the pupils take great interest. The Home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Bruce.

B—Psychology—Principles of Teaching—Gardening—Washington Normal School No. 2. Introduction: What the Child Brings to School or Fundamental Equipment. "Tis not a soul, tis not a body, that we are building up, but a man."—Montaigne, On the Education of Children. Mind and body start in human life on an equally low scale. The body has no more human bodily powers than the mind has human mental powers. Each is potential; neither is real. Each will be; neither is. The brain can exert influences over the body. It is composed of elements called neurones. Their connections are not of proximity alone, but are of structure. The special marks of the neurones are 3; they are sensitive to excitation; they transmit such excitation always in one and the same direction; they are modified by their own activity, so that each repetition strengthens the connection and the tendency to act in the same way as before. Such conditions make Education possible and point the way to proper methods. There are two general directions of travel of nerone activity; into the organism, from the environment, and to the environment from the organism. It is as true in the physiological realm and in the physical, that every action has its reaction, somehow, somewhere. Impressions are so received by the brain and its subordinate centres as to be followed by expressions. Conduct is the Other Half of Experience. Very few definite connections are incomplete connection is variable in races and in men. It allows for adaptation to changed conditions. It is produced by surplus stored up in and by the ancestors. Because of it, each individual is unique. Nature and Society will select to determine the survival. The tendencies to respond in certain common ways to certain communications in life, are called instinct tendencies. They are the rawrial out of which purposive may be built. The size of the has to do with the character mind only to the extent that the has been deprived of food, air, exercise, rest and other conditions essential to its normal development. Defects of sight, hearing and motor reactions preclude many direct experiences and hence the development of the mind, which should follow from such experiences. Instinct gives the propulsive force to action; intelligence should add the directive ruling and make it conduct. Instinct does not force consequences. Intelligence does, hence, the purpose of the schools, towit: to lead the child to inhibit instinctive reactions as they do not agree with the modes of expression approved by the age and civilization. Instincts which do not gain the approval from expression issuing in success, tend to become sublimated. Desirable instincts not exercised may fail to develop. This is true of humane feelings and altruism, which are overlooked in the striving for individual efficiency. Conclusion: The child brings to school his instinctive equipment to which his parents and society have applied and the teacher must supply incentives, deterrents and opportunities under the best conditions calculated to result in many habits necessary to individual and social efficiency. Relation of Human listens to Education, read: Thorndike's "Individuality," also his "Educational Psychology;" and Pyles "Introduction to Educational Psychology." For the relation to Sociology, read: Elwood's "Sociology in its Psychological Aspects" and MacDougall's "Introduction to Sociology." That instincts probably never die, but become sublimated; read: Rowe's "Habit Formation" chapters VI-XIII; and Colvin's "Learning Process," chapters XIV-XVI. For Literacy in analysis of the statements herein presented, see Monroe's "Encyclopedia of Education." The Principle of Sense-Perception. To experience is to know. Sense precepts are the basis of memory, of constructive imagination, of judgment and of thought. What we would have children know, we must arrange to have them see, feel and do. From Nature, from books and from the experiences of menre-experienced by the child, the teacher can draw materials to present, as items or in relations to each other and to the child himself. The course of study is but a guide to those items which each community has placed its stamp of approval—Pillsbury, "Attention," page 326-330. The Principle of Motor Reaction. Every experience is an attack on consciousness which seeks an outlet in expression. Modern social advance has made inhibition and repression valid modes of expression in many situations, and the school aims to socialize the child by training him in such modes of expression and inhibition as are valid for the age and the civilization. The best way to inhibit an undesirable response is to arouse the mental state which expresses itself in the on- PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) A friend tells a good one on Wash Woods. It apppears that Wash was strolling over Vermont avenue the other day in a meditative mood. Usually Wash sees everything coming and going down the street, both he male and shemale, dogs and cats, and other varmints. This particular day, however, Wash was in a deep brown study. The friend passing him, without Wash looking up, saluted him, finally, saying: "Hello old man, what's on your mind; what's disturbing that ivory top piece of yours?" With this Wash suddenly looked up, and said: "Say fellow, I've been walking along for four blocks trying to figure out why a high bust attracts more attention than a high brow, and I can't figure it out." "Why don't you ask some high authority?" I ventured: "Now say fellow," said Wash, "don't you know that's just what I decided to do. I just made up my mind to drop in and ask Armond Scott. You see Armond has so many queer kind of law suits, that I just figured mebbe he had had a case some time in which the question was involved, 'why does a high bust attract more attention than a high brow,' and if he has ever had such a case, I'm going to ask him what was Judge Pugh's decision in the matter." With that Wash moved on. But it set me to thinking, and I have been trying to figure it out myself. There may be some anatomy pre-requisits entering into it, so I have made up my is way up there on anatomy. If he can't tell me, mebbe Doc. Sum Wormy Doc. Frank Davis pumley, who knows everything can, and if he can't, mebbe Attorney Harry Davis has told Cobb the wherefores of it. Harry is a mighty bright lawyer, you know. But why is it that a high bust attracts more attention than a high brow? I think it is awfully nice of Oswald Garrison Villard to took so much have the eats while we are getting or enjoying these rights he's been interest in the rights we Ham's are fighting for for us. Now my dear good friend Mr. Villard insists that we have just got to have an equal chance, and the other fellows's just got to give it to us, but neither Hershaw or N. A. A. C. P. followers, like Roscoe Thomas, and a few others, would imitled to, but I do wish some of this press upon him that we have got to C. Bruce, Archie Grimke, and Nev Archie Grimke has ever told me whereof, and wherehow Mr. Villard has ever employed a sunburn complexion individual on his New York Post in one of them there "equal opportunity" places. I'm giving Mr. Villard full credit for all the argymint he's been putting up for us, but if he would just employ sometime, somehow, and somewhere one of my sunburn complexion brothers on his newspaper he would sure make me think he was the real goods. You know somebody, somewhere, and on some occasion sort of hinted that "words without deeds" don't get very far up the track before some iconoclastic fellow gets the drop on them there words, and says: "Hold up your hands. Stand and deliver!" Now if Mr. Villard will only ease one of us a little job on his newspaper it sure will count. In the mean time, I've been thanking and praising him in my prayers offered up to the same mysterious intangible suspect what them there German deutchunds, French poodles, Russian great danes, and English mastiffs has been praying for to help them whip the other. He and Prof. Springarn have sure done us a world of good, but we sure have got to get the eats, along with them there rights, if we expect to enjoy the rights, and you know, say what you please again him, old B. T. W. is trying to figure out the eats for us seven days in a week. He may be a little shy on that equal rights proposition, but stop and reflect on where he lives! Away down there in Alabam! But we just have got to get the eats got to have them every day in the week, and most of the sunburnts, what I've run into around this town, bank more on the eats than they do on the rights no matter how much they holler about rights. Now if you don't believe me, just go down to the National or the Belasco theatres, and take a peep over the segregated part of the gallery of the National and the Jim-crow part of the balcony at that Belasco, and if you don't run into a lot of National Association for the Advancement of Colored People contingents roosting up in that gallery and balcony, you can just have my little wallet containing all I've got. And they alnt just the ordinary, unthinking kind either. They belong to the top-notchers, the celluloid society kind—them what is making more noise than a Yaqil Indian about discrimination, segregation and such likes. And after you get through looking over the highbrows (and busts too) in the buzzard roost at the National and Belasco, just run down to The Academy, and to some of these 5 cent movies where they cage the sunburnts up in a top loft, and take my month's salary for a piece of century-old rochfert cheese if you don't see a lot of more sunburnts who are long on hollering for rights occupying these reserved seats in the buzzard roost, grinning, and laughing like hyenas on a food expedition. This all goes to prove to me that most of the sunburnts around here are more interested in getting the eats than they are in getting the rights, and this stalling on their part about rights is mere twenty century parachuting to please the crowd down below. Dorsey Fultz once said: "Consistancy thou are a double barrel shot gun." If you don't believe what I'm casing over to you, just figure out for me why it is that some of our sunburnt lawyers always get a white lawyer to do the work when they have a pretty good fee-paying case? Take Cobb, and Jim's a mighty clever sort of a Blackstonian, when he gets a case with a nice fee hitched on to the other end, it's a matter of history that he always calls in Harry Davis to handle it for him—never associates no sunburnt lawyer with him. And yet, if you would listen to Jim talk on the inside [Picture of a man with a white face and dark hair, wearing a suit and a tie. The background is black with a white frame around the image.] of celluloid society, you would hear him speak up manfully for the rights of wo sunburns, and insist we got to have a show. But Jim figures on the eats all the time, and that's why he associates Harry Davis with him whenever he gets a legal case that has a pretty good size fee hanging on the end of it, and you got to go up against sure enough judges. Bless your soul Jim Cobb aint the only celluloid society lawyer that does this—there are others. I'm just cliting these cases to show that its the "eats" that most concerns most of us pretenders. I often wonder how it is that Armond Scott, who has 'more independence microbes mixed up in his every day garments than G. Wash had in crossing the Delaware, gets the eats. Armond simply lays back and depends upon himself all the time, and talks back even to a marble statue, and yet he has just as much eats as anybody I know of. Take that little dinner he gave a few weeks ago. Look what he had on that table! Look what he had under the table! Look what he had on the slide! And there want no white attorney who helped him get none of the mazumma to buy them eats with, while he carried books. I've woke up to the crazy notion that a white man likes a few pounds of independence even when he hates you cause you are sunburnt. Now Armond is so independent that he disagrees with himself, and yet he furnishes himself with the eats all the time. A friend rode down town with him a few days ago, and while he had been talkin' celestially with him on all subjects, from the school question to celluloid society, and while they had agreed on all points of international law, all of a sudden Armond flew up and disagreed both with his friend and with himself. Did his friend ask him to stop the machine and let him out? Now he kept on riding, cause he knew that Armond is one man that is sure to get the eats seven days in a week, and mebbe he would invite him to the next big, fancy eats he gave to his friends. Yes, sir, just take it from me these here sunburnts are mighty interested about the eats, and no one knows it better than your Uncle Booker, who never misses a mea, winter or summer, in New York or in Alabamy. This reminds me that I heard that Doc. Arthur Gray remarked on a certain duplex occasion: "Give me eats, or give me death." Doc. Arthur works for the government all day, and he and his hustling wife sell castor oil and co-cola all day till twelve at night, just to be sure of the eats.

New Orleans, La.—The mid-winter session of the Bishop's Council of the African Methodist Episcopal church recently held in St. James A. M. E. church, brought to the city some of the most noted church men and women of the country—there were women present because the quadrennial session of the General convention of the Women's Home and Foreign Missionary Society was also held at the same time. The council reviewed the work of the past six months, of the general departments. It elected Bishop Evans Tyree, of Nashville, vice chairman, on account of the ill health of Bishop H. M. Turner, and continued-Bishop B. F. Lee as secretary. The report made before the Council by Prof. John R. Hawkins, of Washington, D. C., financial secretary, was perhaps, the most important report made. This was regarded important "The Negro—A Challenge" declared that "American civilization will be what it is to the Negro." For two hundred and fifty years, he declared, the Negro worked without a pay-day, and when discharged was homeless and without credit. He pointed to the wealth of the Negro today, estimated at a billion dollars as evidence of his capacity and rapped the Negro leaders who lean to the idea that the best way to get along with the American white man, especially the Southerner, is by fooling and flattering him. The speaker become eloquent when he said: "We are simply lying, whenever you hear any of us saying directly or indirectly, that our race does not want equality of status—in all particlars—with all other races in this country." Waco, Texas.—With the declaration that the Anti-Saloon forces acted with more friendliness and evidenced more interest in the Negroes, of Texas and elsewhere, than the prohibition forces, Dr. L. L. Campbell, president of the General Baptist Convention of Texas, in addressing the prohibition State meeting held here last week, pleaded for co-operation between the better element of white and colored people. He declared it a disgrace and a reflection on the State of Texas, that E. L. Blackshear, head af the Texas State school, should be dismissed because he was a prohibitionist. Nashville, Tenn.—With Melvin J. Chisholm, president, presiding, the National Negro Press Association held a most interesting mid-winter session and concluded its labors Saturday. Following recommendations made, the press association agreed to throw the weight of its organization to the formation of a National Fraternal Congress. The Congress will meet in Cincinnati in August. Making the passing of the preliminary organization period and the beginning of a new era when the publishers actually receive some good from the association, the joining fee was raised to ten dollars. At the Muskogee meeting, it was agreed that the association should hold its main business session at the beginning of the year. Opposition was offered to continuing holding a session during the National Negro Business League meeting but at the closing it was decided that the best interest of the race demanded that the press association closely cooperate with the Business League. Confirming this idea, the executive committee of the association will meet at Boston during the Business League meeting. Following the recommendation that the race maintain a "Vigilance Committee" with a paid superintendent and headquarters at Washington, D. C., the suggestion was approved. As a fitting climax to the must successful meeting in the history of the Press Association a big banquet was tendered the visitors. Secretary Henry Allen Boyd was praised for his great and effective work and his report unanimously adopted. JUDGE PARK RAPS LYNCHERS. Monticello, Ga., February '16.—The Jasper county grand jury today began its investigation of the recent lynching here of a negro, his son and two daughters January 14, with a view to indictments. Judge Park, in his charge to the body, after stating his satisfaction at the public condemnation of ```markdown ``` because the bank where the A. M. E. church had deposited its funds for years had failed. In the report the wonderful business ability of Secretary Hawkins was displayed. He had handled the situation to the satisfaction of the entire bench, and they were loud in their praises. Prof. Hawkins showed that he had looked after the interest of the church in every minute detail. "I had opposed Prof. Hawkins, as secretary" said Bishop Lee, "but now I am glad that he was elected to the position, and he should be continued. I am of the opinion that we haven't another man who could have handled that matter as he did. It was fortunate that we had such a man at the hour he was so much needed. We are all proud of him." The council approved of the report by Dr. J. W. Rankin, who had recently made a trip to the work on the islands. The report showed a great accomplishment. Mrs. L. L. Turner was elected president of the convention. The Bishops will hold their next mid-winter session at Bethel A. M. E. church, Chicago.

Specific instruction for observing the other days of Health Week will be published in booklet form and distributed at an early date. In order that the people may enter heartily into the movement for better health and to the end that the program may be effectively carried out, it is suggested that the ministers of all the colored churches throughout the nation, set aside the Third Sunday in March—the 21st—as a DAY OF PRAYER for better health conditions and that each minister arrange to preach on this day a special health sermon to his congregation. In addition to this, each minister is requested to arrange, wherever possible, appropriate services which shall include a discussion of local health conditions and any other matters which in his judgment will make the Clean-up Week a success. CLEAN-UP COMMITTEE.—It is further suggested that each community have a Clean-up Committee which shall investigate the conditions which menace the health of their community, arrange the program to suit these conditions and then see that the program is carried out and that the community is throughly and systematically clean- In cities and communities where there is designated a date other than March 21st to 27th for general cleaning, it may be well for the colored people in such cities and communities to arrange for their cleaning to be done on that date. These suggestions are submitted for cities and communities where no Clean-up Week has been designated. WHY AN ENTIRE WEEK—An entire week is set apart, so that in case of cloudy or rainy weather, the first fair days may be used to do the cleaning. The worst thing about February is that it never has five pay days in ordinary years. Marriage brings out latent qualities in a man. And just think how many great story-tellers it has made. E.

This race in every clime is known for its bravery, and no power can subdue its courage and determination, and whether in the frozen regions of the north, or the tropical countries of the south, it recognizes no superior; and for men of this race to deprive a man of his life by mob violence is not in accordance with the traditions that have governed the Anglo-Saxon race from time immemorial. For a man to hold up another at the point of a pistol is neither manly nor courageous. It is no act of bravery for a dozen men or more to overpower the arresting officer and wrest from his custody a prisoner and swing his body to a limb and riddle him with bullets. "When the mob in this country overpowered your sheriff on the night of January 14, 1915, and took from your jail one man, a boy and two girls and lynched them without judge or jury and for an offense that was not punishable by death, in the eyes of the human and divine law, the committed the crime of murder, and under the provisions of the criminal code of the state of Georgia of 1910, nothing less can be made of such offenses. "You have the power to summon any witness in the state of Georgia to come before you and you have ample time during the present term of court to make due investigation of this unpardonable crime, and it is your sworn duty as honest and conscientious jurors to ferret out the perpetrators of that shameful episode, if you can do so, and if the evidence authorizes it, it is your duty to return resentments against any person or persons that were present that night aiding and abetting in placing on the pages of Georgia history a blot that time will not efface for many years to come."

Directs British Ship From Chair In Turkish Attack on Suez London.-The Cairo correspondent of the Daily Chronicle telegrapha as follows: "A stirring little story of quiet heroism displayed during a battle against Turkish invaders the other day has been told me here. The hero of the incident is a pilot named Carew, who was on board the Hardinge, one of the ships on the canal helping to repel the Ottoman attack. "Carew's ship came under the heaviest fire, and he was severely wounded in an arm and a leg. He would not, however, leave his post, although suffering terribly. "Bring me a chair and prop me up," he said to one of the crew. 'I will see you through.' "The gallant pilot is now in a hospital, where it was found necessary to amputate one of his legs. Happily he is making good progress, and his recovery is assured." HOW TO CURE HAY FEVER. Pick Your Favorite Pollen, Brew Vaccine and Inoculate. Boston—Summer trips to high altitudes will be no longer necessary to hay fever sufferers if the experiments announced by Dr. Harris P. Mosher at the Harvard medical school fulfill his expectations. Dr. Mosher has been experimenting to find a vaccine for hay fever, and at a public lecture before the medical school he explained that if a hay fever patient could decide on the particular flower or weed pollen which caused his affliction he had only to inoculate himself with a vaccine made from extracts of this pollen to become immune to its effects. The only effect thus far noticed from inoculation with pollen serum, the physician said, was a local rash, which vanished in a short time. IF YOU WOULD GET THIN, EAT CELERY Chicago Woman Has Reduced Twenty-five Pounds. Chicago. — "There is no reason for any healthy woman to weigh more than 130 pounds if she has any moral courage," said Mrs. May Belle McArthur. "Look at me. "This is my twenty-third day of fasting. I'm cheerful; I'm happy. I weigh twenty-five pounds less than when I started. I haven't any intention of giving up until I'm down to 125 pounds. "I aspire to 125 pounds because stout women can't think so well as medium weight ones. They can't look so beautiful or feel so well." In the twenty-three days of her fast Mrs. McArthur ate two stalks of celery a day. One glass of water a day is the only liquid taken. "Celery is all I've eaten for almost a month," she said. "I don't mind the fasting much." "What do you eat for breakfast, Mrs. McArthur?" was asked. "Nothing," she replied. "For luncheon?" "Nothing. Sometimes a glass of water." "For dinner?" "Aht" breathed Mrs. McArthur. "Two stalks of celery." "I don't exercise except to walk. I walk several miles every day." "Do you think all women, if in good health, could reduce as you have done?" "Absolutely. The trouble with women is cowardice. They like the sensation of eating too much. They would rather taste a chocolate drop than be able to think rapidly or move about gracefully." "Do you consider dieting infallible?" "Indeed, I do. Look at me. My figure has improved every day since I started, and there is little room left for further improvement. Most women are lazy - downright lazy. They start to exercise, keep it up for two days or a week and then stop. They start to diet, keep it up for two meals or two days and then slip. "Stout women are handicapped a great deal in life. If they are indifferent about their weight and happy in spite of it. well and good. But those who long and dream of getting thin are more to be soldier than pitied. All they have to do is to eat celery and maybe watermelon, drink water and walk. They're bound to reduce."

Of course there are a few exceptions. Take for instance this association for the advancement of Colored People. In the opinion of The Bee it is a social bombast and those connected with it, with but a few exceptions, do more discriminating stunts than the 98 Southerners who voted for tthe recent Jim Crow bill in Con- gress. At the Howard Theater last Sunday the speakers opposed the hypocracy of certain men connect- ed with this organization. Will some one point out, if you can, what this National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has done? Will some one inform The Bee what it is doing but apolo- gizing for wrongs against the op- pressed. This hypocritical leader- -ship among certain so-called rep- resentatives of the Colored race is degenerating the race. Negro leadership, to a great extent, is a sham and a mockery. The Negro office holder is muzzled. He is not to blame, but he should keep his mouth and cease his interference with great public measures and questions pertaining to the ad- vancement of the Colored race. The school teacher, the sundown lawyer, dhe sundown ‘doctor and all Sun: down professionals in particular are impediments to the race. They would like to lead. The National a\ssociation for the advancement of Colored People amounts to as much as the Mu-So-Lett Club does to our Colored shoe store and Harlow’s togery shop. The Bee ventures the assertion that not a dozen members of cither organizations patronize either or hoth of these two stores. All of this rot about the advance: ment of Colored people could. be poured into a two-ounce bottle. . When these sham advoeates do something and cease their tango frolics, and get down to some thing more substantial, then the world will look with admiration upon the philosophers of those two great or- ganizations, one a quasi social and the other quasi political. Neither has contributed as much as_ two ,gents to the Association for Home- less Girls. “Away with sham. MARYLAND SCHOOLS. The Editor of The Bee has been interested in the education of the Colored youth from the time the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. He is thoroughly — ae- quainted with the public schools in this city and how they are con- ducted, and he ‘must confess that the Colored schools of Maryland with their limited means will com- pare favorably with the Colored schools in this eity. Prof. B. S. Burroughs, the su- perintendent, and Prof. James F. Armstrong, supervising principal of the Colored schools of Prince Gvorge's County, seem to know how to handle the schools. _ Both gentlemen have the respect and confidence of the teachers and the respect of the officials of the coun- ty. There was every evidence of the interest the officials take in the welfare of education. ‘The kindly expression of his hon- or, Mr. Justice Filmore Beall, Mr. Frederick Sasscer, Mr. P. S. Stone aud other white men. If the Col. ored people in Prince George's county fail to retain the respect and confidence of such men it will be their own fault, because these amen have fully demonstrated their esteem, honesty and integrity. Rev. Hughes, the presiding elder - of Prince George’s County, Md., in a most admirable address pointed out the dangers that confront the Colored people in Southern Mary- and. The learned judge extended the olive branch of love for his ad- vancing allies. Mr. Sasscer in a most feeling address showed that he had a heart and a soul for the children of the ones enslaved. ‘Too much cannot be said of Prof. J. T. Hill who presided at this ses- sion and the kindly expressions that always greeted the members of the association. Much could be learned from this association, al- though the teachers are not paid as much as teachers are in other see- tions of this country. ‘There was every evidence that the school au- thorities in Prince George’s county will in the near future do more for their Colored schools. But the Col- ored. people are not complaining. They are thankful for what they are receiving and more than grate- ful to the good white people who do all in their péwer to advance the interest of the rising generation in the state. The Bee would not want any higher compliment paid it than what was paid to Prof. Armstrong by the white officials in Prince George’s county. He-has their re- spect because he is honest and do- ingforhis people what noother Col- ored man in Prince George’s Coun- ty has ever done. He knows how, notwithstanding the flimsy impedi- ments he has met with by those who have no ambition to advance themselves. The Bee is infomed that the next session will be held at Fairmont Heights. The Bee is pleased to note that the white su- peintendent of schools in Maryland doesn’t hesitate to mingle with his Colored teachers and neither did he enter the sessions of the associa- tion as if he was frightened to death for fear that he would be struck with a bomb.” The Bee ex- tends its congratulations to the citi- zens of Marlboro and especially to Prof. Diggs, who gave the teachers, their friends and the Editor such a royal reception, and to Prof, Arm- strong, here are the congratulations of The Bee. : 2 Mr. Thomas S. Stone is a real friend of the Colored people. He is the father of the Colored school system in the county. His address was full of pathos and simplicity. Ie is loved by the Colored people REPUBLICANS TO ORGANIZE ie Te a, ne, ee: Sena ee en ere that the republicans in the District of Columbia gsill organize republi- can clubs in évery districtinthecity of Washington. So thorough will ho thave olubs that every amit will be known to each other. The next republican contest will be a hot one. With the right kind of a re- publican in the White House, The Bee feels that the 90,000 Colored people in the District of Columbia will receive proper recognition, There is no reasoa that the right to vote should not be given to the people. Why should not the wom- en be permitted to vote in_ this city? Why not allow all good citi- zens to vote? There should be a delegate in Congress, no matter what his polities may be, if he is a good man and believes in equal- ity of citizenship. : When the right of suffrage did ‘prevail in this city democrats, rez publicans and all other political or- ganizations worked against. each other without coming into social contact with one another. The Bee wants to see good men in of- no matter what their politise may be. A republican, who is not hy- pocritieal is much preferred. These hold over republicans in office to- day should be kicked out. They are menaces to good government and good citizenship. The Bee is surprised to know that our local democrats would allow themselves to be hoodwinked so easily. Now, what we want is a strong republican organization in this city, The-next Republican contest in this city for the election of dele- Gates ought to be a great one be- cause two-thirds of the so-called Colored republican representation supported the democratic ticket and got it in the neck as a com- pensation of their loyalty to dem- oeracy. It is not natural that these disappointed kickers would desire to want a front seat upon the band wagon. They are all weleome to return.as did the prod- igal son, but they must behave themselves. Withathoroughrepub- lican organization, there is every reason to believe that the republi- can party will be properly repre- sented in the next national republi- ean convention, With such a man as Chapin Brown in the saddle there is no such word as fail. Col. Brown is an ideal republi- can, Who believes in his party. Let the band plav. DR. LUCY MOTEN. The recent investigation’ into conditions of Normal School No. 2 has satisfied the committee that Dr. Luey Moten has been imposed upon by a few of those under her. Dr. Moten will disclose some start- ling facts in a few weeks which should go into the hands of the Commissioners. There is not a more competent principal in the United States than Dr. Moten and the sooner the schools are trans- ferred to the Commissioners .the better will the schools fare. If what is in possession of The Bee is disclosed:the people would rise and create a revolution. There is ne man more loyal to our Colored schools than Captain Oyster. It is a shame that Normal school No. £ should be placed in such a predica ment. If there is any one in au thority that has forced unreason fable and illegal acts the peopl shoald know him. If anythin; has been doue contrary to law anc in violation of school ethics i should be known and the responsi bility placed where it belongs. Dr Lucey Moten should publicly vin Luey Moter should be publiely vin dicated. JIM CROW TRAITORS. The speakers at the Jim Crow meeting last ‘Sunday afternoon held in the Howard Theater paid their consideration to traitors. There is absolutely nothing to cer- tain members of the National As- sociation for the Advancement of Colored People. If the name could be changed to the National Asso- ciation for the advancement of Certain Colored Individuals it would be better. Why there are Colored people in this country who would sue their mother if they thought that it would benefit them financially. All of the speeches were good and hereafter let men control and conduct meetings held in the interest of the people. Certain Negroes, who have con- neeted themselves with this organi- zation, ought to dies and let the public bury them. NEW BOARD OF EDUCATION. It is quite evident that Congress will transfer the control of the pub- lie schools to the Commissioners of the District of Columbia. There is every reason that the schools should be under the supervision and control of the Commissioners. ‘The present Board of Commission- ers will then give the people a fair deal. ; ‘The Bee has the most abiding faith in the’ judges, but Coigress doesn’t give them sufficient power. ‘The Bee is confident that good men and women will be placed on the Board of Eduention whe will@vork in the interest of the schools. TRUE DEFENDERS. AUNOT OF 2HC Ces Will you permit me to congratu- late three of the’men whordelivered speeches at the Howard Theater last Sunday afternoon in defense of the 90,000 Colored people in this city. I want to speak parti- eularly of the speeches of Judge Hewlett, R. R. Horner and Attor- ney A. W. Seott. You can always depend on these men, yourself, in- eluded, to be sure, and had you been present the quartette would have been’ complete. Did yeu get cold feet? ELIAS WILSON. The Editor of The Bee did not get cold feet, but he was notified by Dr. Geo. II. Richardson that the meeting had been called off, but to the surprise of the Editor, he was subsequently informed that _ the mectingyhad not been called off and Dr. Geo. H. Richardson was one of the speakers. Why he should so inform the Editor he doésn’t know, unless the gentleman had some other ax to grind. The Editor was in sympathy with the meeting and would have been pres- ent had it not been for the tele- phone message of Dr. Geo. H. Rich- ardson. This is the excuse for the Editor’s absence. Mr. E. S. Burrough, superintend- ent of the Prince George’s County public schools, looks more like a statesman than he does a_ school teacher. He was introduced to the teachers and gave them encourage- ment. Ilis address was full of sound advice. No man is more re- spected than Mr. Burroughs. He is a gentleman, GLEANINGS FOR TEACHERS.

Maden Houton is towards mentalism; and it is The trend of progressive minds is towards mentalism; and it is now believed that thoughts are living things and as indestructible as physical matter. We know that the influence and thoughts of great men are as potent today as when they lived on earth. We believe, also, that there are certain gifted and highly sensitive persons who, by the power of great concentration, can tune their mental organization in harmony with the mental organization of others, whether living or dead, and thus receive messages from souls that are in the body and those that are out of the body. Such sensitive persons may at will make themselves a medium of communication between the minds of the living as well as between the minds of the living and the dead (so called). Madam A. L. Houston, pastor of a spiritualistic church at 1822 12th street northwest, this city, is a spiritualistic medium of exceedingly rare powers. Neither in her private readings, which she makes at any hour of the day to suit the convenience of her patrons, nor at her public demonstrations, which are given every Thursday and Sunday evenings at 8 o'clock, has she ever failed to convince the most skeptical that she is an adept in clairvoyance, clairaudiance, telepathy and spirit communication. Her psychic powers were revealed to her many years ago; and at first she had no intention to employ them professionally, but as soon as they became known to her acquaintances, she was constantly importuned for readings and advice. Prominent mediums soon learned of her extraordinary gift and urged her to develop systematically under some experienced occultist. Pursuant to this advice she joined a psychic class, and after two years of discipline and training, she began to sit for public demonstrations. It is no part of Madam Houston's work, nor does she profess to be able to read the palm of the hand, to bring good luck, to restore lost affections, to impose spells or remove them, or to do anything that pertains to fortune telling, conjuration or black magic. She is an intelligent, Christian spiritualist, and prays, concentrates, submits herself to the control of the higher intelligences and then communicates only what they reveal to her. She reads the past, the present and the future with marvelous accuracy, and is at her best when it is desired that she put herself in rapport with spirits of departed friends. These she describes with such detail as to appearance, speech and manners that they are easily recognized, and she gives to the living whatever message of love, of advice or warning such spirits may wish to be conveyed. She predicts without mistake prosperity, loss of position, change of residence, domestic infelicity, secret enemies, sickness, death and a variety of important matters, which being known in advance may be provided for. Madam Houston believes that few persons are acquainted with the psychic powers they possess, and that many possess the gift to a rare degree but are totally ignorant of it; and for this reason she instructs a psychic class every Tuesday evening from 8 o'clock to 10 o'clock, in which class some of the students are developing rapidly. The popularity of Madam Houston is shown by the liberal patronage she receives from the intelligent element in this community, including clergymen, teachers, lawyers, physcians and government employees. The Bee wishes her success. ANIMALS AND BIRDS TO TALK So Says Garner, Who Has Spent Years Studying Monkey Language. Los Angeles, Cal.—"There will come a day," says R. L. Garner, who tailed Maerlinck in the ways of animals, "when all animal and bird life will become articulate. A dream? Cannot the bee teach us a higher command—the quick, effective elimination of the unit and shrker? Cannot the birds tell us their secret of flying? Would we not like to know why the orole, 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 Favorites 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 tilling 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. TEXAS GOVERNOR NOT A POLITICIAN Farmer-Banker-Ferguson Promises a New Regime. 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 1015 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. Lleutenant Governor W. 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. BILLY SUNDAY UNIQUE: HIS VIRTUES AND FAULTS Prelude to Pastor Russell's Stirring Sermon. Kindly but Pungent Dissection of Billy's Furor—Fake Preaching Abominable to God—God and Man Dishonored by False Doctrines Which Preachers Do Not Believe—Instilling Superstitious Fears a Crime—If the Bible Docs Teach That Eternal Torture Is the Fate of All Except the Saints, It Should Be Preached, Yes, Thundered, Weekly, Daily, Hourly. If It Does Not So Teach; the Fact Should Be Made Known and the Foul Stain Dishonoring to God's Holy Name Removed. February 21. Pastor Russell spoke today from the text, "I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ." (Romans 1:10). Prior to his sermon he made some kindly but pungent remarks on "Billy" Sunday, "the most noted preacher of our day." The PASTOR RUSSELL PASTOR RUSSELL noted preacher of our day." The Pastor would not depart from his custom and the Bible rule, "Speak evil of no man." His remarks merely appertained to "Billy's" preaching of the Gospel. "Billy" Sunday catches the public eye and ear by the novelty of his methods. Some go to hear him lambaste the preachers on the platform behind him, and to watch their faces and see them smile as though it were a good joke when he tells them that their preaching has made the churches cold storage places with little storage, or when he likens them to the Scribes, Pharisees, hypocrites, of old, or when he tells them that they are leading their congregations straight down to Hell. These things told in the newspapers seem so astounding that people must see and hear for themselves. Billy's Chair-Smashing Proclivities. Others go to hear "Billy" because it is the "fad." Business men and electric and steam railway managers realize that thousands will come to town as they would to a circus. They bring pressure to bear upon the poor preachers: for "Billy" wisely insists that he will not come and save the citizens from Hell if there is any competition in the business—insists that all the churches close down. Under the pressure the preachers cannot help themselves and try to make the best of it, hoping that people will not take "Billy" seriously as respects their hypocrisy, etc. and assured that, he will divide the spoils evenly amongst all the churches—not the financial spoils, but the souls for "old storage" or to be let down to Hell. Others attend to see "Billy's" acrobatic feats. Jumping onto a table or smashing a chair; others because they have been invited to be of the large choir; others to say that they have heard "Billy" Sunday. The worldly adage is, "Nothing succeeds like success;" and every time "Billy" succeeds he has more success. Amongst Billy's virtues we should not forget the fearless way in which he attacks the social customs and sins which assail the family and the community, the fearless way in which he tells the preachers what he really thinks of them and what the masses of the public think of them, and the above-board manner in which he bargains the result of his efforts for cold cash—the meeting of the expenses and the giving to himself of certain collections for himself and his troupe. If the Gospel must be sold, it is better to have it done in the open rather than in the name of the heathen, the collectors getting the most. To the extent that "Billy" Sunday seeks to defend the Bible against the Higher Critics, to the extent that he really shows up the coldness, formalism, hypocrisy, of the Church of Laodicea (Revelation 3:14-17), to the extent that he encourages righteousness of life and discourages drunkenness and lewdness, we can surely wish him Godspeed, and trust that some good is accomplished by him, in awakening the people to do some thinking for themselves along religious lines. Some of "Billy" Sunday's Faults. The Pastor said that if the reports that "Billy" prayed to God most irreverently, and addressed the Redeemer as "Old Pal," were true, then "Billy's" influence on the public would lead on in the direction in which the world is now rapidly moving anyway—toward irreverence. He hoped that "Billy" would become more reverent, and believes that this result would follow a better knowledge of God. He could scarcely reconcile with honesty Billy's attempt to tie up all the souls he saved, in the churches which he declared were cold storage plants leading down to Hell. He wished that "Billy" would reconcile these opposites. He was pleased to note that "Billy" Sunday's last sermon in each place was usually on the Second Coming of Christ; and that "Billy" apparently recognizes the present and last stage of the Church, typified in Laodicea. This caused him all the more to wonder why "Billy" would help people into 2 the Laodicean Church, which the Bible styles Babylon, and declares that God spues out of His mouth. (Revelation 3:16) Next Sunday the Pastor will discuss the Second Coming of Christ, viewing that great event and Messiah's Kingdom from a somewhat different angle from Billy's. The Pastor declared that it makes his blood boil with righteous indignation to find Billy's preaching a practical indorsement of the God-dishonoring theory that the great mass of humanity are to suffer eternal torment because they were born in sin, mishapen in iniquity (Psalm 51:5), and then failed to live saintly lives. True. "Billy" does not explain Hell. Like most preachers he probably hides his true thought on this subject, while allowing the common people to think that he believes in a Hell of eternal tortures. The Pastor could not believe that Mr. Sunday or any other intelligent man of our day really believes this invention of the Dark Ages, which antagonizes the Bible as well as common sense. Mr. Sunday and all other preachers who realize the fallacy of this great "doctrine of devils" (1 Timothy 4:1) owe it to the people who trust them and who make up their collections, to tell them the truth. More than this, they owe it to God that this foul stain upon the Divine character be denounced. They owe it to themselves as men to stand for and speak out the truth and to assist in opening the eyes of the poor, deluded world. The Pastor hopes that Mr. Sunday will yet realize that no one can long maintain a moral standard higher than that which he attributes to his God. The injustice and persecution of centuries is largely attributable to the false doctrines which represent the Creator as a demon who unjustly and unwillingly created our race with the knowledge and intention that nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand would endure an eternity of torture. Of this as a Gospel the Pastor has been ashamed for forty-four years. A better understanding of the Bible has led him since to preach The Not-Ashamed Gospel of Christ. The Not-Ashamed Gospel of Christ. Beginning his discourse the Pastor said, Everybody knows that the word Gospel, signifies Good Tidings, as in the angel's Message at the birth of Jesus—"Behold, I bring you Good Tidings of great joy, which shall be unto all people!" Who is responsible for the fact that this Message of Joy to all people has been turned completely around to mean bad Tidings of great misery to all people except to an elect handful! The fact is that no person deliberately plotted this turning of God's Word upside down. It is the work of the Devil, who gradually foisted it upon the Church as well as upon the heathen world, with the view to turning people away from God and the Bible. St. Peter and St. Paul both predicted the falling away of the Church and the success of the doctrines of demons. "The god of this world [Satan] hath blinded the minds" of all unbelievers. If it were not for these delusions of Satan, the whole world might speedily be brought to know, to admire, to love, the true God. The Apostle continues, telling us why Satan blinds men—"lest the light of the knowledge of the glory of God should shine into their hearts." Wherever the true knowledge of God shines into the human heart, it presents the Almighty in such glorious character as to demand the reverence of His creatures. Hence Satan's endeavor to blind men's minds through false doctrines which misrepresent the Almighty's character and Plan. But while we Scripturally hold that Satan had chief responsibility in the matter, it is not for us to say that the clerics of the Dark Ages did not more or less connive at the error, trusting that it would make the people subservient to the elergy, through whom they might hope to escape future tortures. But leaving the past and its responsibilities, we may surely say that great and grave responsibility rests upon the preachers of today for their perpetuation of this great deception—this fraud upon the people, slander upon the Almighty and opposition to the Truth. Of the degree of this wickedness only God is capable of judging correctly; but it is wicked to keep the people in darkness on the subject, and it is slanderous blasphemy against the Divine character. There is no question that nearly all ministers privately confess that they do not believe these slanders, while publicly they continue to speak words which give the opposite thought. The time when such horrible assassination of the Divine reputation can prosper is surely short. Messiah's glorious Belign will make an end of all such lies; as it is written. "I will lay justice to the line, and righteousness to the plummet; and the ball shall sweep away the refuge of lies."—Isaiah 28:17. God's Power to Every One Believing. If belief in the real Gospel is the Divine power which works in the believer, it follows that whoever has not the Gospel has not this Divine power; and that in proportion as the Gospel is perverted its power is lost. So we see today millions of people professing to believe the Gospel, yet acting like devils under delusions from the Dark Ages which have been fostered by the preachers of Christendom. If they knew the real Gospel, they would act differently and not dishonor Christ by claiming to be His followers. The Gospel Message is double. It has one portion of promise of blessing for the Church and another for the world. For the Church, who renounce earthly hopes and ambitions and cultivate the Heavenly, it promises the high reward of glory, honor and immortality with Christ in His Millennial Kingdom, to be entered into by the power of the First Resurrection. The Gospel Message tells the Church of God's gracious purposes for the world—that through Christ's Kingdom the blessing of Restitution (Acts 3:21), everlasting life as perfect human beings in a world-wide Paradise, has been made possible for all mankind through the Redeemer's sacrifice, and that as soon as the Church shall have been glorified, the blessing of the world will begin—to be accomplished fully during Messiah's Reign of Righteousness. We leave for next Sunday the discussion of the beautiful teachings of the Bible vs. the teachings of Mr. Sunday, the Adventists and the creeds on this subject. Only—"to Every One That Believeth." Only a comparatively small number of humanity have opportunity of believing during this Age. Messiah's Kingdom will give the whole world an opportunity of believing in Christ—not merely those living when Messiah's Kingdom will be set up, but, as the Bible says, "All that are in their graves shall hear the Voice of the Son of God and shall come forth" from the grave—not from Heaven, not from Purgatory, not from our Protestant Hell of eternal torture, but from the grave. The Church will constitute the First Resurrection class; and having passed their trial successfully, they will have the reward of life everlasting on the Heavenly plane. The world to be awakened at that time will include the heathen, and all the millions of Christendom who have never known what real Christianity is. They will all be brought to a knowledge of the Truth, that they may be tested, or judged, thereby and prove themselves either worthy or unworthy of everlasting life as human beings, in that world-wide Paradise. So Jesus declares of them, "They that have done evil"—that have not been approved of God—"shall come forth unto a Resurrection of Judgment"—trial, testing—with a view to seeing how they will respond to those judgments, enlightenments, etc., that the willing and obedient at the close of Christ's Reign may be received into all the liberties properly appertaining to God's children. (Romans 8:21). The wrong thought in the mind of the translators of our Common Version Bible has misled them occasionally into giving poor translations. See John 5:29. Revised Version. The Not-Ashamed Gospel Briefly Stated. All God's work is perfect. (Deuteronomy 32:4.) Man originally was perfect, in the Creator's likeness. Disobedience brought upon man not a penalty of eternal torment, but a death penalty—"Dying, thou shalt die." "The wages of sin is death." For six thousand years the world has been undergoing this sentence. Cut off by sin from fellowship with God, man has degraded himself. Satan has contributed to this reign of Sin and Death by deceiving mankind, fostering errors, misrepresenting God, etc. God has the situation fully in hand. He purposed to permit both angels and men to see one great illustration of the effect of sin, leading on to disease and death, mental, moral and physical. Meanwhile the Creator has gracious purposes for man. Their ex periences with sin and death will not be fruitless. They will have opportunity of learning valuable lessons, profitable for eternity. The first trial as to their worthiness of eternal life or of everlasting death was through one man; and his disobedience settled the matter for the race—the death sentence was the penalty. As a basis for man's recovery, the Son of God died for man's sin—not to get mankind out of eternal torment nor to keep them from going to eternal torment, or to Purgatory, but to save them, from extinction, "that whosoever believeth on Him might not perish." (John 3:10.) Their recovery from sin and death is Scripturally styled the resurrection of the dead. Thus the Church of true believers are represented as "risen with Christ" to "walk in newness of life," and are promised an actual resurrection—the First the Chief Resurrection. Next comes the world's resurrection. The Truth will be made known to them. Instead of being confused and hampered with superstition, lies, doctrines of devils, the true light of the knowledge of the glory of God will shine upon them. Gradually the willing and obedient of the world will rise—mentally, morally and physically—to perfection whereas the Church, which is to get a new nature, spirit nature, will be perfected by an instantaneous resurrection. This is the Gospel which St. Paul preached--that the dead sleep in Hades, Sheol, the Bible Hell, the tomb, awaiting the establishment of Messiah's Kingdom which will bring glorious blessings. St. Paul declared that if there be no resurrection of the dead, all faith is vain, all preaching is vain, all hope of forgiveness of sins is vain. We might as well eat and drink, and consider that when we die we perish. But, he declares, there is to be such a resurrection; and the fact that Jesus died and rose again is God's guarantee to all believers that all who sleep in Jesus shall be brought from the dead by and through Him and His power. "There's a wildness in God's mercy. Like the wildness of the sea." Of this Gospel I am not ashamed. Of every other gospel that I have ever heard I would be ashamed—ashamed if I had been its inventor, ashamed to endorse it, ashamed of the God who would have such a gospel. But the true Gospel, shining out of the Bible and enlightening men's hearts all over the world, is a Message of Grace, Justice, Wisdom and Love. Let us lay hold upon it. Let us love and serve it and the only living and true God, the God of the Bible, not the God of the creeds; and let us show forth the praises of Him who has called us out of darkness into His marvelous light. NOVELIST TELLS OF POLAND'S RUIN BROTHER FIGHTING BROTHER Fifteen Thousand Villages Wrecked, 1,500,000 Poles Killing Each Other and Refugees Dying by the Thousands—Not a Grain of Corn, Scrap of Meat or Drop of Milk For Civilians. Berne, Switzerland—Henryk Slenkiewicz, the famous Polish novelist, author of "Quo Vadis," is, like tens of thousands of his compatriots, a refugee driven from home by the war. He is now at Verey with the members of the committee on relief for war victims in Poland, of which he is president, and Ignace Paderewski, the famous pianist, is vice president. No more appalling picture of death, destruction and devastation has ever been drawn than that outlined by Slenkiewicz, who declares it is unique in history. He said: "Poland has nothing to do with the war. Conquered and partitioned, she is not one of the belligerent nations, yet 1,500,000 of her sons are fighting fratricidal battles in the armies of three different warring states. Our country is made a cockpit and is devastated from end to end. "Think what this means when the order for a charge is given. Hordes of soldiers rush on each other, and when they get within striking distance commence cutting one another down. They find the language in which they are uttering imprecations is the common natal tongue. "It frequently happens when the Red Cross forces go to collect the wounded they lift from the heap one man in a [Name] HENBYK SIENKIEWICZ. German uniform, another in the Austrian, a third in the Russian, all three Poles. "The misery is really very great. In the kingdom of Poland alone there are 15,000 villages burned or damaged and 1,000 churches and chapels destroyed. "Homeless villagers have sought shelter in the forests, where women and children are dying of cold and hunger by the thousands daily. In the whole 60,000 square miles of territory in possession of the armies not a grain of corn, a scrap of meat or a drop of milk has remained for the civil population. "The material losses are estimated at $500,000,000. Agriculture is ruined, industry destroyed, and 400,000 workers have lost the means of livelihood. "The state of things in Gallela is just dreadful. The Russians have commandeered 900,000 horses and 2,000,000 horned cattle and have selzed all the corn. The rich country is a desert. Over 1,000,000 inhabitants have sought refuge in other parts of Austria in sheer destitution. "I was at my home in Oblegorelk, government of Kielce, during the early part of the war working on a new novel. I was forced to leave my home without even my papers. The last I heard of my home was that trenches were being dug around it, even in the garden. "I made my way to Vlenna. There it was reported I had been arrested by the Austrians, but it was not true. After some difficulty they accorded me a permit to come here to Switzerland." "There has been a committee for the relief of Polish distress created in Berlin, of which the United States ambassador is a member. But America can sell no more corn, and Russia would not sell to the Berlin committee for fear it might be used to feed the German troops. It is only to our committee established in neutral Switzerland that the Russians are likely to supply corn." Valuable Statuary Moved. London.-The Elgin marbles from the Parthenon, the most valuable collection of statuary in the world, have been removed from their room in the British museum for the first time since 1816, when they were taken from Greece. They are now in the basement as a precaution against German airship raids. M. Hennessy 216 Hinth Street. N. W.
