Washington Bee

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. XXXVI, NO. 5 WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, JULY 3, 1915 NATIONAL BENEFIT PUSHES ON Best Insurance Company, in This Country. All colored citizens should hall the progress of the National Benefit Association, Inc., with delight. It has done more to thawrt the contemptible machinations of certain white companies who have continently robbed the Negro than any other colored company in the world. Vim and Spirit. The cause of their successful fights is directly due to that marvelous "N. B. A. vim and spirit," which seems to permeate every representative in the company's employ from Rhode Island to Kentucky. Its Pride. So great is their pride in it that no one can "knock" the company and get away with it. Three Thousand New Applications. It courts custom on its past record and present liberal contracts. That it is still first in the hearts of the people is manifested unmistakably by the fact that last week, when they held their greater N. B. A. rally over three thousand new applications were written and one thousand dollars collected on new subscriptions of the syndicate stock. Alliance of Medical Benefit. It is eminently appropriate that Washington, the home of the company, should have done a large proportion of this great volume of business. But everybody concerned is rejoicing because there has been turned an alliance to the mutual benefit of the company, the insured and the representative. Administered by Men of Integrity. The affairs of the great National Benefit are administered by men of integrity and known standing for high ideals, with a full sense of responsibility for the trust imposed upon them. The executive committee, which constitutes the general management, are as follows: R. W. Brown, president and medical director; R. H. Rutherford, vice president and general agent; S. W. Rutherford, secretary and general manager. With the powerful co-operation of the company's immense corps of agents in seven states they have rightfully and justifiably taught the policy holders that the National Benefit it their stairway friend in time of adversity, both today and tomorrow. ISAAC N. CABANISS, BROTHER OF DR. GEO. H. CABANISS, DEAD. A Devoted Husband and Father—A Successful Business Man Who Won the Respect and Confidence of the People. Isaac N. Cabaniss, one of the most successful business men in this city and brother of Dr. Geo. W. Cabaniss, a well known physician in this city, died Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock p. m., surrounded by his friends and his most devoted brother, Dr. Cabaniss. Mr. Cabaniss had been sick six weeks, and so much had his condition improved a few days before he died, arrangements had been made to place him in a roller chair, but Saturday morning his condition was beginning to be worse, and he continued to fall until Sunday afternoon at 3:30 PETER H. o'clock p. m., at which time he died. There was not a more popular or better liked citizen in this city. He was quiet polished and business-like in his manners. He was born 42 years ago in Hallfax County, Va., and was educated in the public schools of his county. He came to this city about 28 years ago and was happily married to Miss Janie Johnson, the daughter of Mr. George H. Johnson, who has been connected with the Evening Star for over forty years. One son was born from this happy union, who is today 20 years old. Mr. Cabanisn was not long obtaining employment, and when he presented himself to the managers of the St. James Hotel, so impressed were they, he was immediately employed, and for 28 years he has been a faithful and devoted employee of that hotel, very often acting in the capacity of a manager and also clerk. Mr. Cabanisn was not only a good penman but a good composer of compositions. While thus employed, he opened at 1144 Ff. teenth street northwest an employment agency. This agency dealt with special help for special people and no other, such as foreign diplomats, who wanted a particular class of help. He had the respect and confidence of such people and at no time has there been one complaint against him or of his conduct of his agency. He has been as successful in the conduct of this agency as He was at the St. James. Thursday afternoon at 1.30 Isaac N. Cabaniss was buried from his late home, 920 Eleventh street northwest. The services were conducted by Rev. F. S. Rivers, pastor of the Berean Baptist Church; Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, and Rev. T. J. Brown, pastor of St. Luke's Episcopal Church. Interment at his old homestead, Hallfax, County, Virginia. The ceremonies were solemn and impressive and the elogies of the three distinguished ministers were most impressive. He leaves to mourn their loss a wife, Mrs. John Cabaniss; a son Charles, Dr. Geo. W. Cabaniss, Charles F. Thomas, Charles Joseph, Mrs. Mary E. Wilson, Mrs. Hattie Jackson, Misses Mattie and Lucy Cabaniss, Mrs. Cecelia Cabaniss, widow of the late James L. Cabaniss; George H. Johnson, father in law, and Robert H. Johnson, brother in law The pall bearers were the three brothers, Dr. Geo. W., Charles, and Joseph, and his brother in law, Robert W. Johnson. THE DUNBAR RECITAL: Mrs: Paul Lawrence Dunbar in Recital. One of the finest recitals ever given in Washington was that given at Bethel Literary by our late poet's wife. The Serious Side of Dunbar. Those who have been accustomed to think of Dunbar as a humorist only, should have heard this program. The night was stormy, but the lovers of literature and art were out. Then our own excellent home talent, Miss Mary Europe, that queen of the plano, Miss Charlotte M. Wallace, with her unexcelled contralto, and Miss Emma Lee Willame and our peerless dramatic reader, guaranteed an exceptional evening of enjoyment. The officers, advisory board, music committee and patrons guaranteed the success. Officers. Miss M. A. D Madre, LL.M., president; Mr. A. S.

Federal Employees Association Federal Employees Association. The Federal Employees Association, comprising great many of the Colored employees of the customs and post-office of Baltimore, Md., had as their guests on Saturday last, June 26, about 60 of the Washington City P.

The subject of this sketch, George Edward Chalmers Hayes, was born 21 years ago in Richmond, Va. Born in Richmond, reared in Washington, a graduate of the M Street High School, 1911. Mr. Hayes spent his freshman and sophomore years in the University of Pennsylvania. His junior and senior years were spent in Brown University where at the same time he took a two-year course in Bryant and Stratton's Business College in typewriting and stenography. Mr. Hayes comes back to Washington with the hope that some of the preparation that he has made as an A. B. from one of the best schools in the land, and an expert stenographer and typewriter will give him a chance to do some work in the High schools of Washington. Mr. Hayes was one of the three winners of the Lucius Lyons Latin Prize at Brown University. He has specialized in Latin, French and English. Being a home boy, Washington is proud of the record he has made. The Bee with the citizens of Washington, congratulates George Edward Chalmers Hayes for his brilliant record and also extends its felicitations to his parents, Attorney and Mrs. James H. Hayes. Just two years ago James Hyland Hayes, Jr., graduated as an A.B. from the University of Pennsylvania and is now a medical student in Howard University. MOUNTAIN VIEW HOUSE. Harper's Ferry, W. Va., June 30, 1915—Everything is getting in a busie up here now, and old Mt. View is waking up. Since my last note I have noted the following guests: Mrs. C. W. Harris and daughter, Miss Helen C. Harris of Washington, D. O. W. Holmes, Mrs. Holmes and Master Holmes of Baltimore, Mr. Herbert Thomas of the Y. M. C. A., Washington, D. C., Mr. H. B. Palm of Washington, Miss Y. S. Green of Washington, Mrs. Hamilton Tevis of Orange, N. J. Mr. and Mrs. A. I. Batts and daughter of Washington, the Rev. Craven of Charlestown, W. Va. Mr. Martin Prosper tells us that his booking for the first of July is alarmingly encouraging and that soon after the first a full house. Mr. Martin was suddenly called away last Friday to Richmond, Va. on account of the death of his father. Mr. W. A. Warfield and two children arrived last week, who will take up the season at the Herrod Cottage. Mrs. Warfield's sister, formerly Miss Ada Thompson, a teacher of Baltimore, is now Mrs. Thos. Herrod, Jr. Mr. Joseph E. Trigg, the great and only colored athlete at Brown University of Pennsylvania, and the son of Mr. John H. Trigg of the Treasury Department, has been appointed assistant director of playgrounds by Mr. Donovan. The new director of playgrounds, is a man of the highest integrity and the right man in the right place. Twenty-fourth annual outing of the People's Congregational Church, M street .between Sixth and Seventh streets northwest, at Green Willow Park, Anacostia, D.C., Friday, July 9, 1915, 12 m. to 11:30 p. m. Monumental Orchestra, Tickets, 15 cents. ing this city, a special run was made in quick time to Howard street in Baltimore, where the Baltimore boys had two large sight-seeing autos that wheeled them to Light street, where the steamer Starlight was awaiting them. The committee in charge from Baltimore made it extremely pleasant for the boys by introducing them to each lady and gentleman on the bobat, especially the many beautiful girls who were present to greet them. Despite the thunderstorm that passed over about 6 o'clock, when the boat was starting, the trip down the river was very pleasant, and the many points of historic interest were shown the visitors. Excellent dance music was enjoyed by an orchestra of 10 pieces. Arriving at Brown's Grove, a most beautiful and pleasant place, with its many pavilions and amusements, the boys from Washington were escorted to the commodious skating rink, where large tables had been placed and were laden with a most sumptious dinner, of which chicken a la Maryland style was very consoluous. The dinner was preceded by an 'impromptu concert, with Mr. Daniel Johnson at the piano. Excellent solos were heartily applauded as sung by Messrs. Joseph Carroll, John Meyer of Baltimore, and Frank Childs of Washington. The menu was enjoyed by all, after which brief addresses were made. Mr. Truly introduced the following gentlemen of the Federal Employees: Messrs. I. A. Dorsey, W. B. Hamer, and C. C. Woodman, who heartily welcomed the Washington boys. Captain Brown of the steamer Twilight made the speech of the evening, when in his remarks he asked for the unity of the Colored race, and especially in reference to business, and assured the boys they were welcome to all they saw and heard, and especially the boat and grounds, of which every employee was Colored. Manager John S. George, of the Washington boys then introduced Wm. H. Cowan, the president of the Washington Association, who, though just from a severe illness, made an inspiring response to the welcome addresses, and assured the Federal employees that it was not to end at this time; but the impression that has been fostered and propagated by this visit will no doubt be heard from in the near future, and they will then be able to thank the employees for one common cause and believed the same can be accomplished. His remarks were applauded by all present. Introductions of Mr. Wm. H. rebb, Jas. R. Miles, who made brief addresses, followed. A hearty three cheers for Postmaster Swan, of Baltimore, by the Baltimore boys, and the whole company joined in and swelled the same. Thus ended one of the most enjoyable trips of the Washington boys, and while the wee small hours of Sunday morning found some on the way home in Washington, there, were others who were captivated by the beautiful damsels in Baltimore and lingered to tell them all about it. The credit for the most excellent and perfect arrangements may be given to the officers, and about 40 other members of the City employees; Walter A. Evans, Dresses; Thos. A. Parker, Treas.; and Chas. Woodland, Sec. Officers and members of the City Post Office Association who were guests of the Federal Employees Association of Baltimore, June 26, 1915: HAYES. MOUNTAIN VIEW HOUSE. GOOD APPOINTMENT. ANNUAL OUTING OLDEST INHABITANTS OLDEST INHABITANTS The regular monthly meeting of the Oldest Inhabitants Association (Colored) was held at Catholic Beneficial Hall, Monday, June 28. A letter was read from George William Cook, Secretary of Howard University, approving the proposition of the Association to erect suitable memorials on the University campus in honor of the late Frederick Douglass and John M. Langston. Richard Theodore Greener, lawyer, diplomat, and scholar, who "did time," as he facetiously put in, in the Treasury for a period of seven years, was the first principal of the Summer High School, Dean of the Howard Law School, Secretary of the Grant Monument Fund, and U. S. Consul at Vladisvostock in the stirring times of the Russo-Japanese war, was the honored guest of the Association at this meeting. Memories of ante-bellum days in Baltimore, the home of his youth, how his father and his uncles in those days that tried men's souls, secretly distributed the Garrisonian literature that so successfully fanned the fierce flames of abolition; how later he attended the anti-slavery meetings in Boston and visited almost daily the office of the "Liberator," which is now the home of Trotters" "Guardian," and his intimate acquaintance with William C. Nell, the author of Colored Patriots of the American Revolution, were vividly and happily told. Mr. Greener emphasized the fact that the Negro did not first begin to have traditions with the edict of Emancipation, out that he, too, might be justly proud of an ancestry that contributed a fair share of valor to the War of the Revolution, and who, in succeeding epochs and events, were indisolubly linked with the vital history and traditions of America. A bit of history that should be most interesting to the advocates of universal suffrage, was cited by the speaker to the effect that as early as 1787, Colored men, and women too, exercised the right of suffrage in the State of New Jersey. Mr. Greener wore the symbol of the Order of the Dragon, conferred upon him by the Mikado for services to the Imperial Government of Japan during the war with Russia. Remarks were made by Messrs. Daniel Murray, Geo. W. Stewart, Jerome A. Johnson, Jas. W. Muse, L. C Bailey, and Harry D. Williams. Mr John Taylor, of Wilmington, N. C., a Howard University student of the late seventies, was an interesting guest of the evening. A substantial purse was voted Wm. A. Prater, the steward, for faithful and efficient service since the organization. The annual picnic will be held at Green Willow Park, August 20. GOVERNOR WILLIS OF OHIO. The Man of the Prairie at Stikles The man of the People—He Strikes. Columbus, Ohio, June 28.—Governor Frank B. Willis, of this State, who proved his strong friendship for the race by having revoked the State censors' permit given for the photoplay, "The Nigger," to show in Ohio, and who declared that "The Birth of a Nation" should not be granted a permit to show in Ohio, has again won the plaudits of the Colored people by his splendid endorsement of the Federal Supreme Court's decision in the Oklahoma case. Thus far he is the only State executive who has expressed himself respecting this decision. When the decision was rendered he very promptly gave public utterance to the following: "The decision of the United States Supreme Court against the 'Grandfather' clause in the laws of Oklahoma and in the Maryland case, is one of the most important and far-reaching in years. It is a vindication of the principle that in this country a citizen's worth is to be measured by his own merit, and not by the qualifications of his grandfather. The principle of the 'Grandfather' clause was un-American, unfair, and altogether out of harmony with the spirit of our institutions. The law should encourage every citizen, without regard to race or color, to improve his own condition, not dampen and kill his energy and ambition by applying a rule of recognition as arbitrary and indefensible as ever stained the pages of the history of hereditary feudalism in the dark ages. The 15th Amendment meant what it said when it said it proclaimed that the right to vote should not be denied on account of race, or color, or previous condition of servitude. This amendment does not prohibit a fair educational qualification applicable to all races alike, but it does prohibit unfair discrimination between races. The decision of the Supreme Court will be hailed with satisfaction by every person who believes in a fair chance for all." Capital City Republican Club Five new members were admitted to the Capital City Republican Club this week. Now is the time to join the greatest Colored republican organization in the United States. See application blank in another column of the Bee. Look out for headquarters. Phone the Bellevue Market for fresh trout, sea bass and butter fish. (By the Sage of the Potomac.) I heard a funny argument the other evening out in front of Howard Theatre, in the vicinity of the curbstone. Two of the male persuasion, and both of a saffron-hue complexion—no chocolate bonbons this time—got to discuss Booker T. and Booker T.'s antithesis—Editor Du Boise. One of them, a short, heavy set fellow, with a 'South Carolina accent, got off a lot of dope like this: "Well, you blow about Booker's Business League, what is it? Just a one-man organization, and a lot of talk at the big gate, a lot of romance for which Judge Pugh would give thirty days and costs. Take your Business League here, outside of them there great captains of big industries, and one or two others what aint business men, what does your alleged league amount to? It seems that the real business men and women, like Dr Amanda Gray, McMullin, Aaron Gaskins, Pendleton, Doc McGuire, and brother Chase, the Doc McGuire, and who could give the Y. M. C. A. $500 and a few other real live, visible business men and women alnt got no time for your league; they jist got the time to attend national meetings where a lot of speakers get up a blow about their wealth. That's all the league is, just a sort of romance society where a fellow who got one old sow and a little of three pigs get up and tells about his great stock farm, jist because he thinks that old sow and pigs will make a stock farm if you will give them time. Don't tell me nothing about your business league, its jist a paper organization eleven months in the year, and an exaggeration society about three days of the twelfth month, when they assembled to tell of their riches. What's your league done here? Nothing. What business have you started? None. How often do you meet? About two or three times a year, I bet; and then you don't have enough present to raise the ante to fifty cents. Now, don't tell me; that business league is just dope talk; that's all." Then the other fellow, who talked like he come from down around Culpepper Court-house—I can always tell them Culpepper Court-house bugs by their talk—got a sing at the bat. He said: "The National Business League is the greatest uplifter the race ever got next to. That DuBoise outfit of yours what you call N. A. A. C. P. ain't nothing but a selling plater beside the Business League. All you do is to collect money and ship it down to New York to pay the salaries of a few white lawyers what is fist graduated from a second-rate law school, and a few other white folks. And then whenever some people out in some State do something, you rare up on your hind legs and declare to goodness that you done it all by your little loomsome. What's DuBoise ever done but work the public. What's he doing no but sitting down at a desk and writing a lot of stuff telling the people to agitate? Booker's telling them to go to work, to put their brogans down in the soil and turn it over and make it grow a few dollars. Booker is a man who does things, while Culpepper is a man what just talks things. You sent $3,000 out of this town over. New York, didn't you? But how did you git it? Why, you got the powers hooked up with it, and they slowed down on the school teachers, and they sort of felt it would be best for their health and positions if they coughed up, and they did. Now, I heard whispered around town, they are using your assorted collection of blowhards to help hold him in the schools. I reckon that's what he joined the thing for. He knew a change was coming. I reckon some of the delegates to the Business League's annual meetings do make a lot of noise about their riches, but they got a right to. Look where they came from—jist nothing, and on an investment of about seventy-five cents and a lot of energy developed a big business. These business league people aint windjammers, like the members of your N. A. A. C. P.; they are solid folks what is building the race up all over the country. Your N. A. A. C. P. could disorganize, and no one would miss the boasters; but if the Business League blowed out, the race would be the worser off for it. Why, your "claim-it-all" collection of highbrows aint done nothing compared with what the Business League has done for the uplift of the race." And for about an hour these two jays stood out on the curb stone in front of The Howard, and speeled this sort of stuff, while a crowd of about fifteen or twenty cigaret dudes, BEE-2 dope fiends, boss loafers, and sich like stood around and listened. I can't figure out, what there is in curb-stone arguments and barber shop discussions. Most of the discussions around this berg—among them there claimed to be sensible folks—is a sort of public affair on the curb stone or in some barber shop, where the air is on a par with the odors that come from some, garbage plant or from some fertilizer factory. Now, here these two guys, and they were no deaf and dumb fellows either standing out there on the street amusing a lot of dipper-neck dudes discussing two big organizations in neither of which, I'll bet, neither ever contributed thirty cents in Chinese money. Every time hear educated chocolate buddies or yaller buds or brown lozengers starting a loud discussion about race matters in some stinking barber shop or out on some street corner, I always feel like getting the hook. I aint a member of either the Booker Washington outfit or DuBolse's collection of highbrows, but I reckons both of them have done some good; and they would both do more if you could imprison a few guys like the aforesaid mentioned in St. Elizabeth. But so many of our dark complexioned race like to hear themselves talk on a curb-stone or in a barber shop or in a saloon. Go down to Del Washington's at the lunch hour, and you can hear more sombre-colored near statesmen blowing off their excess steam in loud tones of voice than you can find sol- diers in General Meckinson's army. That's why white folks say we are nothing but selling platers. I heard a funny one the other day down at the corner of 7th and the Avenue. A couple of southern crackers were discussing the tremendous range of the German guns. A couple of Ham's race were standing there listening, awestruck. When the crackers had boarded the car, the following conversation ensued between the Hamites: "Dar now," said one, when he heard the white man tell about the forty-two centimeter shells, "Jes' la I bin tellin' yo niggehs all de time! Don les' have no guns lak dem roun' heah! Why, if da had, us niggehs could start runnin' erway—run all day, git almost' home, and den git kilt jus' befo' supphe!" "Dat's the trufe," said the other, "an' lemme dun tell you sumpin' else, fellah, all dem guns needs is jus' yo' ad-dress, dat's all; jes' glv'm yo' address, and they' git yo'." "What's the matter, Zack, did you get into a rough house?" asked Judge Pugh of a very much bunged up coal-colored individual who happened to show up in police court. "It was jes lak dis" he said; "I wuz watchin' a man fightin' of his wife down in Goat alley, an' I reckons I jes soht o' ovehspoke masef—kinder mixed in lak, Jedge. You know how it is when a felleh mixes in wiv ah man an' his wife quallin." Bill Was Held Until the Last Day and Vetoed Because Change Had Not Been Printed Pittsburg, Pa.—Gov. Brumbaugh vetoed the "equal rights" bill because as finally passed it contained words written and not printed, as required by the Constitution. He says that existing laws guarantee equal rights regardless of race, color or creed and that the State has not been remiss in enacting laws. While due notice was given and noted on the legislature journal that the change had been made, it is impossible to approve it under the law. The Senate bill providing for additions to the force of the State Fire Marshal is vetoed because it would cost $70,500, which the State cannot afford at this time to add "to its already heavy charges for salaries." The Governor also says it opposes the act giving the Attorney General control of all legal business. Other bills announced as vetoed include several Philadelphia salary raises and the following: Senate bill providing for State supervision over inspectors of weights and measures, which, the Governor says, would mean ten new places, which is not advisable at his time. Senate bill for a commission to codify laws relative to juvenile courts, the Governor saying that the Legislative Reference Bureau and Attorney General can and will do it. Senate bill making an appropriation for the Topographic and Geologic Survey. The Governor says the appropriation is too small and would scarcely keep the department salaries in force. It would be better, he says, to do it, in a manner commensurate with the importance of the work. BUILDING SCHOOL-HOUSES. Twenty-one Built for Negro Schools— Julius Rosenwald Helping— $70,000 Available on Conditions. Address by Clinton J. Calloway. Tuskegee, Ala., June 23.—The address before the 405 Colored teachers attending the sixth annual session of the Tuskegee Institute Summer School was delivered Tuesday morning by Clinton J. Calloway, head of the Extension Department, Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. Galloway's Address. The speaker declared that since October 1, 1914, twenty-one schoolhouses have been built for Negroes in the counties of Montgomery, Macon, Lee, Lowndes, Limestone, and Russell, in the State of Alabama, at a total cost, including land, of $21.190.84. Of that amount the State of Alabama gave $3,150; white friends contributed in land and cash $1,570; Mr. Julius Rosenwald donated $6.191.39, and the Colored people raised $2,279.45. Self-Help Stimulated. The efforts to raise this amount, Calloway explained, were stimulated by the donations from the State of Alabama and the conditional offers of Mr. Julius Rosenwald, the Chicago philanthropist, whose fund for that purpose was managed by the Extension Department of Tuskegee Institute. The Rosenwald Proposition. Calloway further explained that Mr. Rosenwald has offered to help build 200 school-houses in Alabama and other Southern States during a period of five years from October 1, 1914. The amount Mr. Rosenwald will donate is about $70,000. The amount he will give is not to exceed $350.00 on any one school building. By the Help is Offered. The Rosenwald Fund is to be used to encourage public school officers and the people in the community in erecting school-houses in rural and village districts by supplementing what the public officers or the people themselves may do. Co-operation Sought. As far as possible the approval and co-operation of the State, County, or Township officers is to be secured. Mr. Rosenwald desires also to co-operate with the Jeanes Fund Supervisors and the State Supervisors of Negro Rural Schools and Negro Business Leagues, the idea being to make one kind of work supplement the other. Conditions of Help. These donations will be made by Mr. Rosenwald on condition that the people shall secure from the Public School Fund or raise among themselves the amount equal to or larger than that given by Mr. Rosenwald, the kind of building being approved by the Extension Department of the Tuskegee Institute, and, where required, by the State Board of Education. Communities at Work. The speaker said that the people ```markdown ``` WOLF BROTHERS Hair Straightening Outfit No more breaking of lamp chimneys.

THE THANKLESS, REBELLIOUS ABSALOM 2 Samuel 18:1:55.—July 4. The Story of Absalom—His Wasted Opportunities—His Contemptible End as a Traitor and Disobedient Son Who Sought His Father's Life—Parentee Responsibility—Eugenics Not Sufficient. "Children, obey your parents in the Lord; for this is right."—Ephesians 6:2. THIS Study discusses the death of Absalom, and is sufficiently explicit without comment. It will be valuable, however, to review the life of this young prince and to note some of his failures. He was not well born. His mother, King David's wife, was the daughter of a heathen king nearby; and her son had the disadvantage of being a member of the royal family and not required to labor with sweat of face. Absalom is first brought prominently to our attention by his murder of his half brother Ammon, to avenge his sis- ter's honor. For this he fled to his grandfather's protection. After several years his father, who had never ceased to love him, was induced to invite him back to Jerusalem; but for two years more the king declined to receive his son into his presence. ters' baptism. For this he fled to his grandfather's protection. After several years his father, who had never ceased to love him, was induced to invite him back to Jerusalem; but for two years more the king declined to receive his son into his presence. All these influences were unfavorable to the young man, but none of them can excuse his treachery to his father. Death of Absalom. Absalom's Conspiracy. There were judges throughout the land of Israel to decide ordinary causes of discontent; but when their decisions were unsatisfactory, appeal was made to the king. David was busily engaged in preparing materials for the Temple, which was not to be built until after his death. This may to some extent have hindered his work as superior judge, so that some cases, as in every court, were delayed of a hearing. We are not sure, however, that anything was lacking respecting King David's administration of justice. We merely know that his crafty son Absalom very graciously heard the people's complaints, and very cunningly expressed sorrow for their delay, saying, "Would that I were king! It would be different!" Thus by deception, intrigue, falsehood, he "stole the hearts of the people" from his father. They really began to think that if Absalom were king, they would be immensely better off. They seem to have overlooked the fact that God was their King, and that King David merely sat upon the throne of the Lord. Absalom knew of his father's religious sentiments, which apparently he did not at all share. He realized that he would not probably be his father's choice for a successor; and that it would soon be time for a new king, as King David was aged. Following Satan's course of ambition and disloyalty to God, he became disloyal to his father the king. He recruited an army, proclaimed himself king, and did the matter so quickly and so thoroughly that King David and his army and his loyal courtiers died for their lives. Our lesson recounts the battle between Absalom's superior forces and King David's smaller army, which, however, were better trained soldiers. King David was victorious. Absalom was slain, notwithstanding King David's urgent request that his soldiers should not kill the young man. What a contrast we have here between the man after God's own heart and the man whom the people admired—the flashy, the ambitious, the deceitful, the intriguing, the rebellious, who sought his father's life. The man of God, notwithstanding his weaknesses, which were acknowledged and repented of, had a heart loyal to God true as the needle to the pole; and he had a sympathetic love for his son which found expression in that notable dirge, "O Absalom, my son, my son, would God I had died for thee!" A Very Important Principle. The human will is wonderful, so that we might almost say that each boy is responsible for his own career. This, however, does not excuse the parent whose duty it is to see that a proper child is born into the world—not merely outwardly beautiful, but conscientious, just, loyal to God and to the principles of righteousness. Nor responsible for his own career. This, however, does not excuse the parent whose duty it is to see that a proper child is born into the world—not merely outwardly beautiful, but conscientious, just, loyal to God and to the principles of righteousness. Nor does it excuse the parent from giving the child proper conceptions of life. It seems pitiful indeed, that with all the preaching and teaching of centuries, so few parents realize their obligations toward their children. So few fathers realize that they and the caretakers of their wives and their children; and that it is their duty, not only to select a noble, conscientious wife, but to place her under favorable conditions during gestation and to assist her to keep her mind and heart pure, loving, noble, loyal to God and to righteous principles, that their child may be well birthmarked. True, we have eugenics thrust upon our attention everywhere; but it sinks into insignificance compared to the principle that during gestation the mother's mind is stamping, favorably or unfavorably, her child's character. Of course a mother could not produce a perfect child; but with her own Meals high, true and unavering, her UNDERTAKER AND EMBALMER All Work First Class Phone North 814 Terms Most Res Near Falls Church, Va.

Supreme Court Decides Frizzell Was Without Right to Sue—Other Issues Not Taken Up—Commissioner Cannot Be Harassed by Private Ouster Suits, Majority Opinion Holds—Justice McKenna, Van Devanter and Pitney Dissent—Justifies Refusal to Retire, Says Commissioner. Commissioner Oliver P. Newman will retain his office under the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States handed down Monday. The court holds that William J. Frizzell, brought the suit to oust Newman on the ground that the latter was not a bona fide resident of the District for three years prior to his appointment, was not an "interested person" in the meaning of the law, and therefore was not entitled to bring ouster proceedings against a commissioner. By the decision the opinion of the lower court is reversed and the case remanded with instructions to dismiss the quo warranto proceedings. The court stood 5 to 3. Associate Justices McKenna, Van Devanter and Pitney dissenting. Justice McReynolds did not sit in the case, as he was Attorney General at the time of Newman's appointment. The opinion was handed down by Justice Lamar. It definitely concludes the case against Commissioner Newman, which has been in the courts for more than two years. The Supreme Court's decision does not take into consideration the question whether Newman was a bona fide resident of the District at the time of his appointment by President Wilson or of the question of the finality of the action of the President and the Senate in appointing and confirming him. The court holds that Frizzell, not having authority to bring the proceeding to test the title to a public office to which he himself made no claim, the other questions cannot be decided by the Supreme Court of the United States. Justice Van Devanter dissented from the majority opinion on the ground that code applied to quo warranto proceedings involved in Newman's case was a local code and not subject to review by the Supreme Court. Justices McKenna and Pitney gave no reason for their dissent. In a separate opinion Justice Day concurred in the opinion of the court. Justified, Says Newman. Commissioner Newman was very much gratified when he learned of a decision. Shortly after the rendering of the decision, Newman went to the Willard Hotel, where he was joined by his counsel, Jackson H. Ralston. Commissioner Brownlow and other District officials. Later the party launched together. "I was gratified and not surprised by the decision," said Commissioner Newman, and I feel particularly gratified because of the very generous efforts to force me to retire from office following the recent decision in the Court of Appeals. At that time, I said that I believed myself to be qualified and that I considered it my duty to the President, to the Senate, and to myself, to utilize every proper legal facility to defend my title. I think the decision today proves that I was right in refusing to quit. "I hope that I may now be permitted to discharge my duties as commissioner without such petty annoyances as I have been subjected to for the last two years." A huge bouquet of roses was presented to Mr. Newman by members of the luncheon party. Commissioner Newman has an appointment to see the President tomorrow, when it is expected that matters of importance to the District will be discussed. Opinion of Court. The court's opinion denying the right of Frizzell to institute proceedings, says: "In 1902 Congress adopted a District code, containing a chapter on quo warranto, which, though modeled after the English statutes, differed therefrom in several material particulars. The writ was treated as a civil remedy; it was not limited to proceedings against municipal offices, but to all persons who in the District exercised any office, civil or military. It was made available to test the right to exercise a public franchise or to hold an office in a private corporation. "Instead of providing that 'any person desiring to prosecute' might do so with the consent of the court, certain restrictions were imposed and one enlargement of the right was made. These provisions have never received judicial interpretation. This case must, therefore, be determined according to the special language of that code, in the light of the general principles applicable to quo warrants—the prerogative writ by which the government can call upon any person to show by what warrant he holds public office or exercises a public franchise. "The District code still treats usurpation of office as a public wrong which can be corrected only by proceedings in the name of the government itself. It permits those proceedings to be instituted by the Attorney General of the United States and by the attorney for the District of Columbia. By virtue of their position, they, at their discretion, and acting under the sense of official responsibility, can institute such proceedings in any case they deem proper. But there are so many reasons of public policy against permitting a public officer to be harassed with litigation over his right to hold office that the code not only does not authorize a private citizen on his own motion to attack the incumbent's title, but it throws obstacles in the way of all such private attacks. "It recognizes, however, that there might be instances in which it would be proper to allow such proceedings to be instituted by a third person, but it provides that such 'third person' must not only secure the consent of the law officers of the government, but the consent of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia before he can use the name of the government in quo warranto proceedings. "The code, making a distinction between a 'third person' and an 'interested person,' recognizes also that there might be instances in which a person might have such an interest in the matter as to entitle them to a hearing—even where he had failed to secure the consent of the Attorney General or district attorney to use the name of the United States. Section 1540 deals with that case, and provides that where these law officers have refused the request of a 'person interested' he may apply to the court by a verified petition for leave to have said writ issued. If, in the opinion of the court, his reasons are sufficient at law, the said writ shall be allowed to be issued in the name of the United States on the relations of said interested person upon his giving security for costs. "If the question of Frizzell's 'interests' here had depended upon a matter about which the evidence was in conflict, the finding of the Supreme Court might not be subject to review. But if the established facts show that, as a matter of law, he was not an 'interested' person, the court had no authority to grant him permission to use the name of the government, and the case must be dismissed. So that the fundamental question is whether the law in force in the District permitted him, as a private citizen, without the consent of the law officers, to test Newman's title to the public office of civil commissioner. "Frizzell does not allege that he had been an incumbent of that office, and had been unlawfully ousted before his term expired. He does not set up any claflin to the office. And, of course, if he, as a citizen and a taxpayer, has the right to institute these proceedings, any other citizen and taxpayer has a similar right to institute proceedings against Newman and all others who 'exercise within the District a public office, civil or military.' Such result would defeat the whole policy of the law which still regards usurpation as a public wrong, to be dealt with primarily by the public prosecutors." BLINDNESS IN THE UNITED STATES. The blind population of the United States in 1910 numbered 57,272, or 62.3 to each 100,000 of the total population in that year. Blindness is less common in America than most other countries; it has apparently decreased among the youngest classes of the population in the last half century; it is more prevalent among men than among women; it is very much more prevalent among Indians, and considerably more prevalent among Negroes than among whites. Trades taught in schools or workshops for the blind have equipped more than 1,500 blind persons for total or partial self-support. These are some of the facts brought out in a bulletin, The Blind Population of the United States, 1910, recently issued by Director Sam. L. Rogers of the Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce, and prepared under the direction of Dr. Joseph A. Hill, expert special agent in charge of revision and results. The total number of blind persons in the world is roughly estimated at 2,300,000. The total number enumerated at the most recent censuses of the blind in all countries in which such censuses have been taken is 1,194,316. These countries represent all of Australia, nearly all of Europe and North America, and portions of South America, Africa, and Asia, together with certain of the insular possessions of European and American countries. The only countries and provinces in which the ratios of the blind to the total population are lower than that for the United States (62.3 per 100,000) are Canada, where the ratio was 44.9 per 100,000 in 1911; Belgium, where it was 43.5 in 1910; Denmark, 52.7 in 1911; Germany, 60.9 in 1900; Netherlands, 46.3 in 1909; New South Wales, 61.4 in 1911; Western Australia, 50.3 in 1911; and New Zealand, 47.8 in 1911. Where Blanc is Where Blindness Is Most Prevalent. In the United States blindness is most prevalent in New Mexico and Nevada, in which states the ratios of blind to total population in 1910 were 169.3 to 100,000 and 118.5 to 100,000, respectively. The high ratios for these states are due to the fact that (granulated eyelids) is of frequent occurrence in those sections of the country, constitute relatively large elements in their population. In Arizona, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Vermont the ratios are also high-95.9, 94, $9.5, and $4.6, respectively. The relatively large Indian population of Arizona is responsible for the high ratio in that state; trachoma is prevalent in certain parts of Kentucky and Tennessee; and in Vermont there are relatively more people of advanced ages than in other parts of the country, to which fact is doubtless due the high ration for that state, since susceptibility to blindness increases with advancing age. Sex, Age, and Marital Condition. In 1850 and at every succeeding census the proportion blind has been greater among males than among females. In 1910 the ratio of males to females among the blind population was 130.7 to 100, whereas in the total population the corresponding ratio was 106 to 100. In the majority of foreign countries a similar condition exists. Although blindness may occur at any time in life, it is peculiarly a defect incident to old age. In fact, approximately one-half—94.4 per cent—of the blind population reported in 1910 were 60 years of age and over, whereas only about one-fifteenth—6.8 per cent—of the total population were 60 years of age and over. To make the comparison in another way: The median age of the total population in 1910 was 24.2 years—that is, one-half the population were under that age and the other half had passed it while the median age of the blind population was 59.6 years, or nearly two and one-half times as great. Among children under 5 years, only 5 in every 100,000 were blind; but among persons 85 years of age and over, 2,575 in 100,000 were blind. Comparisons with earlier censuses indicate that there has been a decrease in the younger classes of the population. Among native whites, the number of blind persons per 100,000 population of the same race and nativity was only 55, whereas for the total population the ratio was held 63.3 to 100,000. The corresponding ratio for other elements of the population were: For The National Religious Training School, Durham, N.C.

The fact that blindness is more common among foreign-born whites than among native whites is, however, due to the fact that the former class contains relatively more people of advanced age than does the later. When the comparison is confined to persons of the same age, the lower ratio is invariably found among the foreign-born whites. The remarkably high ratio for Indians, is due to the prevalence of trachoma (granulated eyelids) on Indian reservations. The low ratios for the Chinese and Japanese may be explained in part by the fact that the members of of these races in the United States are comparatively young, and are, as a rule, engaged in occupations having no particular hazard of blindness. It is probable, too, that the enumeration of the blind among the Chinese and Japanese was somewhat deficient. Occupations. Of the 31,473 blind males 10 years of age and over in 1910, only 7,976, or 25.3 per cent, were reported as being gainfully employed, while of the 24,000 blind females 10 years of age and over, only 1,345, or 5.6 per cent, were reported as gainfully employed. The corresponding percentages with reference to the total population were 81.3 for males and 23.4 for females. It does not follow, however, that more than 9,000 blind persons were actually self-supporting, since in most cases their earnings were far from sufficient to constitute a livelihood, and often amounted to a mere pittance of less than $100 a year. In connection it should, of course, be borne in mind that a very considerable proportion of the blind population have already passed the age when retirement from active employment usually occurs, so that the number of blind persons not reporting an occupation does not by any means indicate the number of individuals lost to the working force of the United States by reason of blindness. Of the 7,976 blind males reported as gainfully employed, 1,768, or 22 per cent, as farmers; 102, or 7.6 per cent, were returned as farmers; 665, or 8.3 per cent, as broommakers; 646, or 8.1 per cent, as musicians and teachers of music; 619, or 7.8 per cent, as retail merchants and dealers (other than hucksters and peddlers); 401, or 5 per cent, as hucksters and peddlers; 349, or 4.4 per cent, as piano tuners; and 242, or 3 per cent, as chair canners. Particular interest attaches to the figures for those trades which have been found especially available as a means for employment for the blind, and the reporting of which presumably indicates the receipt of special vocational, training after the loss of vision. The most important of these trades are broom making, piano tounch chair caning, basket making, mattress making, carpet and rug making, weaving, and hainmock and net making. The numbers of blind males engaged in these trades in 1910 were 665, 349, 242, 50, 45, 30, 19, and 18, respectively, making a total of 1,415, or 17.8 per cent of the entire number of gainfully employed blind males. Of the 1,345 blind females 10 years of age and over reported as gainfully employed in 1910, 167, or 12.4 per cent, were returned as musicians and teachers of music; 127, or 9.4 per as knitters; 86, or 6.4 per cent, as fancy workers; and 56, or 4.2 per cent, as professors, school principals, and teachers. STODDARD BAPTIST HOME. The new Stoddard Baptist Old Folks Home had its formal opening Friday, June 18, 1915, and was largely attended by the colored citizens of the District of Columbia, most of whom were members of the Baptist churches although the inmates are of all denominations. The original S. B. O. F. H. was located at Garfield, D. C., but was destroyed by fire about two years ago, since which time the inmates have been housed in the city. The Trustees and Ladies Auxiliary Board made a strenuous effort to raise funds to begin to build a new home on Bryant street near Third which was given to them by a Mrs. Dillard, now deceased. the home, a thirty-room, modern building, was completed recently and Rev. Randolph of Mt. Morlah church, moved the inmates from the temporary home, Twelfth and S streets, to the new building in automobiles where a reception was held June 8, to mark the opening of the Home. The Trustees and Ladies Board have worked side by side to accomplish this work and they most earnestly solicit the help of the public generally to raise the necessary funds for the building. The opening reception was made The opening reception was made poshly and delicious, of yar and lem- House & Herrmann ons by the Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co., wafers by the Haveners Baking Company, biscuits by the Schneider Baking Company; finger rolls by Corby Bros., tea by the wives of the Trustees and the use of the glasses and china by Dulin and Martin; fifty pounds of ice by the American Ice Co.; four dozen tea biscuits by Mrs. Mildred Eglin. Rev. Sayles is chairman of the Trustee Board and Mrs. Annie Glover is president of the Ladies Auxiliary Board. The public is cordially invited to visit the Home. Rev. Jarvis is chairman of the Building Committee and Rev. W. J. Howard, treasurer, have been constantly on the look after the building. The trustees held their annual meeting June 21, 1915, in conjunction with the Ladies Auxiliary Board meeting. Aside from collecting nearly $300 on the building fund. New trustees were added as follows: Lawyer Hill, Rev Holland Powell and Mrs, Julia Layton. Miss Susie P. Robb, secretary. The Board of Children's Guardians are experiencing difficulty in finding homes for white children. At present 739 are to be looked after. Fifty thousand, including officers and men, will be added to the British Navy. This will bring the total personnel for this year up to 300,000 officers and men.

STATES AID NEW MONEY SYSTEM Attorneys General and Legislatures Rule on Federal Plan. WASHINGTON GETS REPORTS State Banks and Trust Companies Given Permission to Enter the Reserve-In Only One State Has Opposition Arisen-Great Interest In Development of Organization. Washington.-The attitude of the state legislatures toward the big project of unifying the national financial system under the federal reserve act is proving on the whole highly satisfactory. Returns received in Washington now cover the action taken in twenty-nine states and are considered an assurance that in a shorter time than was at first expected most of the states will have granted state banks and trust companies the authority to enter the federal reserve system and subscribe to stock in the reserve banks and, on the other hand, will have empowered national banks to act as trustee, administrator, etc. In a number of states the legal authorities have ruled that legislative ac PETER H. Photo by American Press Association. CHARLES G. HAMLIN, GOVERNOR OF FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD. tion is unnecessary to accomplish these ends. In some states it is held that the state banks may enter the reserve system without special legislation; in others that national banks may act as trustees, etc., without violation of any state law. Great interest has been taken in the development of the states' attitude toward these questions, for much will depend on this. If courts and law officers had put obstacles in the way of establishing the needed parity of powers in these regards between different classes of banks and if legislatures had generally been indisposed to remove these difficulties the unification of the banking system might have been postponed indefinitely. In that event there would presently have arisen in congress a party disposed to pass legislation compelling the state banks in some fashion to take federal charters. Just that proposal has been discussed in some legislative quarters, though always with recognition that it would be highly undesirable and only to be adopted as a last resort. When the national banking system was established as a civil war measure to create a market for government bonds it was impossible to impose the 20 per cent tax on state bank issues and thus force those banks in order to retain the issue privilege to reorganize as national banks. But in present conditions, in which the power of issue is not much prized and is in process of extinction, it is not very apparent how state banks are to be forced into the national system, even if it were deemed desirable to take such an extreme measure. It is generally believed that the legislation could not be passed anyhow. It would more likely have the effect of arousing an antagonism that it is particularly desired to avoid. The developing sentiment of the states seems certain to put a quietus on suggestions of drastic measures. They are opening the way to desired results. A summary of state legislation—or administrative action, which serves the same purpose—indicates that very shortly most of the states will have acquired in the purposes which the reserve law contemplates. New York, for instance, where there was a vigorous opposition from some quarters, has passed an act giving state banks power to subscribe for stock in the Federal Reserve bank. In Massachusetts the legislature has passed an act authorizing trust companies to subscribe for reserve bank stock. There are no state banks in Massachusetts. Connecticut has thus far been distinctly hostile. The legislature defeated a bill conferring the fiduciary powers on national banks, and the attorney general rendered an opinion that it was "very doubtful" whether state banks could take reserve bank stock. HUMANITY DELUDED BY DEMON DOGTRINES "Thou Shalt Surely Die"--"Ye Shall Not Surely Die." Satan's Monumental Lie Foisted Upon the Church—Christian Standards Lowered—Foundation-Falshood For All Unscriptural Teachings—Refuge of Lies to Be Swept Away—The Name of God Blasphemed Daily—Medieval Darkness Passing—R. Ability of the Ministry—Day of its Visitation. Indianapolis, Ind., June 27— Pastor Russell is here today. We report his address on the text, "The god of this world hath blinded the minds, of them that believe not, lest the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ * * * should shine unto them." (2 Cor. 4:1) PASTOR RUSSELL The Pastor spoke as follows: During the Dark Ages doctrines of demons were foisted upon the Church by Satan's hosts of fallen angels. Millions were driven into the Church, but driven away from God and from the Bible. The theory was that all not members of the Church would surely go to eternal torture, but that by joining the Church they would have a chance of Heaven, even though the path led through Purgatory. Under these unscriptural teachings, Christianity has enrolled its hundreds of millions, very few of whom know anything about the real Christianity of the Bible—true disbelief of Jesus Christ. We see them in Europe today—of all creeds—doing their best to destroy each other—to send each other to Purgatory or to eternal torture. About five per cent. are estimated to be Mohammedans, Jews and musleis, and the remaining ninety five per cent. Christians. What a true! What a hypocritical deception! The fact is that probably less than one per cent. of all those millions would make any claim to be followers of Christ or of seeking to cultivate His Spirit of meekness, gentleness, patience, long-suffering, brotherly kindness, love. The great majority manifest the reverse spirit of anger, malice, hatred, envy, strife—works of the flesh and of the Devil. Col. 3:8; Gal. 5:19:23; 1 John 3:8. How few anywhere profess to be disciples or followers of Jesus and His teachings! Christian standards have been so lowered that today a Christian is not one who has surrendered his whole being to God and His service, and who has devoted himself to following the Master's example, but merely one who refrains from profanity and such gross sins as murder and immorality. This change has come about as a revulsion against the thought that everybody except a mere handful of saints is en route to eternal torture. Kind-hearted people could not think of their friends and relatives as suffering thus. They had the thought of eternal torture firmly fixed and let it remain; but moved down low the standard of worthiness for everlasting life. Demonology and the First Lie. Lucifer, the cherub, through ambition became Satan, God's opponent. He deceived our first parents into sin by his great falsehood, "Ye shall not surely die." (Genesis 3:4). Since then he has supported that lie personally and through his demon hosts of fallen angels. These are not far off stoking fires in Hell and Purgatory, but right with humanity, perpetuating the original lie and convincing the world that Satan told the truth when he said, "Ye shall not surely die"; and that God lied when He said, "Thou shalt surely die." The doctrines of demons have so far succeeded that now practically everybody believes that lie, and the claim is made that the dead are more alive after death than before. On this original foundation-false-bood Satan has built up various theories, all of which tend to delude humanity and to drive them away from God and from the promises of the Bible. He tells them that the dead are alive somewhere, and that at death the good and the bad immediately enter their rewards and punishments without resurrection. The errors are so skillfully framed as to teach that Heaven can be entered only through a number of passage ways; such as baptism in infancy, confirmation, holy water, holy candles and holy burial, prayers, Eucharist and masses. Satan enlists on his side all who are interested in these various Heavenward help. These have been reverenced; money has been paid to them freely; they have made the success already suggested, and elimin four hundred million Christians. But how few of these really know the true God or really love Him! In the Bible, however, God sets forth the True Church of the First-borns, whose names are written in Heaven. Jesus is the Head over these; and they all are brethren, and not divided into energy and laity. They are called saints (Psalm 50:5.) God could indeed use force in gathering His Elect Church, but He will not do so. He will now gather merely those who have the hearing ear and the responsive heart. Of these He says, "They shall be Mine in that Day when I make up My jewels." Then a New Epoch will open; and under the Headship of Jesus these jewels will constitute the Messianic Kingdom. Then the blessing of the world will begin. The first step in that blessing will be the blinding of Satan, that he may deceive the people no more. Next will come the sweeping away of the ignorance and superstition which have been his web for entangling humanity. Thus all the blinded eyes will be opened, and all the deaf ears unstopped—all will see; all will hear; all will know of the Love of God, which passes all human understanding. (Isaiah 35:5; Romans 8:38, 39.) Then the knowledge of the glory of God will fill the earth; and as a result every knee shall bow and every tongue confess, to the glory of God—Isa. 11:9; Hab. 2:14; Phil. 2:10, 11. The outcome will be that all wilful sinners will be destroyed in the Second Death, while all others will be ushered into the perfection of life in a worldwide Eden. Then there shall be no more sighing, no more crying, no more dying; for all the former things shall have passed away. "And He that sat upon the Throne said, Behold, I make all things new."—Revelation 21:4, 5. Is it not strange that we ever believed the monstrous falsehoods taught us by these doctrines of demons—that the dead are more alive than ever; that nearly all of them are suffering untestable tortures, while the remaining small remnant look over the battlements of Heaven and rejoice in the misery of the unfortunates? Assuredly no human brain ever concocted such a Satanic theory! We challenge the ability of any man to sit down and deliberately concoct anything worse than what has been described to us as the Plan of the great Heavenly Creator, the Father of mercies, from whom cometh down every good and every perfect gift, and whose very name is Love. We have never found man or woman so friendlish as our God has been described to us. Herein we see the Satanic cunning of our great Adversary: By establishing great religious institutions he has satisfied a certain mental craving, bound to assert itself in humanity. Yet by these false doctrines, which blaspheme the Divine character and the Bible by misrepresenting them, he has driven far away from God nearly all, even of those who have professed church membership—"They profess that they know God; but in works they deny Him."—Titus 1:10. Some may be disposed to say, Satan would never teach about eternal torment; for it would be contrary to his interests and would keep people away from him. We reply that after eighteen centuries this theory is proven to be wrong, and Satan is proven to have been wise in his method. Mankind do not wish to serve Satan and sin. Naturally they would be, as the Apostle declares, feeling after God and desirous of finding Him; for every man has inherently some degree of reverence for a supreme Creator. Let me give an illustration of how Satan's lie operates: A Christian lady who has become a Bible student, and who now dearly loves God and the Bible, told me her experience thus: "I was a Presbyterian, trusted that I was one of the Elect, and felt serene, but not without sympathy for the non-elect, who were to be tortured eternally. Then came the thought. Are you sure that you are one of the Elect? In distress I went to my pastor. In substance he said, 'You are all right; you are one of the Elect. Do not bother your head about such questions.' "But still I was troubled. Finally I feared that I would land in an insane asylum; for I could not lift my thoughts from my danger of eternal torture. To escape insanity I plunged into society, gave and attended social functions, and made my life one busy whirl, in which I had no time to think of God or Satan or the Bible. Oh, how changed everything is now, Pastor Russell! My heart always yearned for God, and now I know Him. I read His Book, and see its great Divine Plan of the Ages, showing a gracious blessing for the Elect on the Heavenly plane and a grand Restitution for the non-elect to perfection on the earthly plane. I ever thank God for the 'Studies in the-Scriptures.'" Have we not driven away from God and from the Bible some of the very best minds of the world, plunging them into business, pleasure, society, novel-reading, theater-going or intoxication—anything to stop themselves from thinking about the terrible possibilities of the future related to them by you and me who have been deluded by these doctrines of devils? "Speaking Lies In Hypocrisy." St. Paul describes Satan's work concisely in the statement which forms our text. If the true light of God shines into any heart, it begins a transformation work at once; hence Satan's anxiety to keep people from thinking of God as a reasonable and adorable Creator and from studying His gracious Plan for human redemption. We see how the eyes of all have been much holden—the world seeing nothing at all, and Christians seeing little enough of the goodness of God. Thus St. Paul prayed for Christians that the eyes of their understanding opening, they might be able to comprehend the lengths and breadths, the heights and depths, and to know the Love of God, which passes all human understanding. Ephesians 11:23-24. This Love of God was completely obscured by the dense darkness of the medieval period, when the doctrines of demons got full hold upon the minds of the people, because the Bible was reprobated and out of use for twelve hundred years, while the people were misguided into thinking that so-called Apostolic bishops had the same authority as the original Twelve Apostles whom Jesus ordained. The creeds made by the bishops took the place of the Word of God until the beginning of the Sixteenth Century; and since then, it has been a battle for the Bible to get into the hands of the people and for the latter to realize their privilege of Bible study. Protestant bishops, in front of St. Paul's Cathedral, London, set the example of burning the New Testament, because those who would study it would thereby be ignoring these false apostles, who styled themselves Apostolic Bishops, and of whom Jesus said, "They are not Apostles, but Marrs."—Revelation 2:2. Finally the people, feeling after the True God and His true Message, and wondering why the bishops kept it from them, made such a stir about the matter that both Protestant and Catholic bishops gave them the Bible in English, with dire threats that if in reading they got anything different from the creeds that the bishops had made, they would roast to all eternity. Ever since, the Bible has been obliged to fight for every inch of ground it has gained—fighting against bishops and clergy who, if they could not keep it from the people, did their best to make it support the doctrines of demons—the clergy themselves being deceived also, and verily thinking that they were doing God service. Difference In the Past Fifty Years. During the past fifty years general education has come. Satan realized that he must adopt a new course. As St. Paul forsoid, he affected to be an angel of light, a leader into new light. (2 Corinthians 11:13-15.) He got hold of the colleges and seminaries, and now sees to it that practically everybody of college education has his religious faith entirely destroyed, so far as a Divine Revelation is concerned. Surely not live out of every hundred ministers and others graduated make any pretence of believing in the inspiration of the Bible, when they are speaking privately and confidentially. They are too intelligent to believe in eternal torture, and experience a revelation of feeling against the Bible, which the doctrines of demons have led them to believe teaches these Satanic delusions. As a result, we have thousands of ministers, drawing salaries totalling millions of dollars annually, who outwardly pose as God's servants, ministers of His religion revealed in the Bible, but who in reality are hypocrites. Privately they will confess that they do not believe that man was created in God's image and fell from it. Neither do they believe that Jesus redeemed man from the fall; for they say, There was no fall. Neither do they believe in a coming Time of Restitution, which the Bible declares is the great hope for the world. (Acts 3:19-23.) They are hypocrites pure and simple. As the Apostle Paul declares, they "speak lies in hypocrisy, having their consciences seared with a hot iron."—1 Timothy 4:1, 2. There are exceptions to this general rule. They are found amongst the less educated ministers, whom their educated brethren style "mossbacks." There are others whose consciences are not entirely seared, and who are in great distress, wishing to be honest, but fearing the cost. They say little about the future, occasionally work in a little Truth, and are generally very unhappy. I have hope for many of these yet, that they will get right with God and take their stand for truth and righteousness, casting all their cares and fears upon the Lord—fears respecting their living and provision for their families, respecting their good names, which will be cast out as evil, as mine has been, if they will firmly stand. The time of decision is here. Whoever is not for God and for the Truth is against the same. The great leaders of Ecclesiasticism seem to have no conscience. If approached by their confiding flocks, they dodge the questions with deceptive phrases, fearing not God, neither regarding man, but merely looking for gain, each from his own quarter—his denomination.—Isaiah 50:11. It is the duty of all who see the Truth clearly to act positively. (2 Corinthians 6:17, 18) Whoever lends financial aid or moral support to the great systems which are opposing the true teachings of God's Word, and assisting in the perpetuation of Satan's lie, is a partaker of the evil deeds and will share in the woes soon to come. Blasphemy the Greatest Crime. Recently a young business man told me of his experience. He inquired of his pastor, "Is there a Hell of eternal torture for all except the saintly?" The cheerful answer was, "Yes, certainly." The young man had been reading and thinking, and told the pastor his conclusions. As he left the study, the pastor put his hand on the young man's shoulder, saying, "George, I do not believe in eternal torture, either. But, you know, we must preach it; otherwise, what would become of the world? They would go from bad to worse." What does that young man think of his pastor now?—a llar, a hypocrite, a blasphemer of God—all to hold his place in the religious firmament—justifying himself by saying, Let us do evil that good may come; let us blaspheme God's name, that we may lead the people, and drive them away from God and the Bible! We know of no worse crime that humanity could commit than that of blaspheming God's holy name. In the Jewish Law this sin was placed ahead of all sins relating to fellowmen. That minister is merely a sample of about nine-tenths of the entire clergy, so far as we are able to know from their creed professions and their private denials of these. St. Paul's words surely appeal to every true Christian when he declares that the Love of God and of Christ—not fear—constrains us.

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. Many Transfers—More Shake-ups. Maj. Raymond W. Pulman, superintendent of police, yesterday announced the biggest police shake-up in years. Five captains and eight lieutenants were transferred to new charges. Maj. Pullman refused to discuss the changes. It is believed that the changes are part of the major's plan of adopting the system of larger cities, where periodical transfers are thought to increase police efficiency. Other Changes Expected. It is almost certain the changes will be followed by others. The shake-up of privates is expected to be wholesale. Whether dismissals are contemplated is merely a matter of speculation. The changes announced yesterday, to take effect July 1, are: Capt. W. H. Harrison, transferred from the Second to the Sixth precinct. Capt. C. E. E.

CHOIR FEDERATION. A Successful Meeting of Choirs. A large audience greeted the District Federation of Choirs at Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church last week in their last general meeting of the season, as the District Chapters will begin their monthly meetings in July to continue through the year. President R. T. Nelson made the introductory remarks and presented the President General, W. A. Adams, who explained the objects and benefits of the society. He then introduced Prof. R. J. Daniels, Miss M. A. D. Madre, and the pastor, Rev. Dr. W. D. Battle, who promised their encouragement and support. Professor Daniels said that it afforded the only medium for interchange of ideas; Miss Madre said she believed it was inspired from heaven; and Dr. Battle remarked that the day would come when it would, be a recognized force in the musical world. Splendid music was furnished by Mrs. Ida Holmes, Messrs. Roy Carter and F. L. O'Bryan. Several new choirs accepted membership, and a number of individuals joined. Announcement was made of the first official District Convention to be held during the Fall of 1915, and a two days' session with prominent speakers and musicians featuring the program. "KNOW THYSELF." Tuskegee, Ala., June 24. "I want to impress upon your lives the necessity of enriching yourselves before you can enrich the lives of others. Self reverence; self knowledge, self-control—these three alone lead life to sovereign power" where the ringing sentences in a masterly address delivered today to the 410 teachers attending the Sixth Annual Tuskegee Institute Summer School for Colored Teachers by Dr.J. R. Phillips of Birmingham, the veteran educator, and who for more than thirty years has been superintendent of the schools of the Magic City. When Dr. Phillips entered the assembly room where the the speaking took place, he was enthusiastically greeted by the teachers and their instructors. He was accompanied by Prof. J. R. E. Lee, director of the Summer School for Teachers; Mr. W. B. Riley, Superintendent of Schools for Macon County; Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Drushel, of the Harris Harris Teachers' College, St. Louis. Mo.; and Miss Beulah McNemar of Keyser, W. Va. Dr. Phillips was introduced by Prof. A. H. Parker, Principal of the Industrial High School for Negroes, Birmingham, who said: "Whatever has been my success in teaching is due to the inspiration received from the gentleman who is about to address us—our Superintendent, Dr. J. H. Phillips." After a song, conducted by the instructor, in vocal music, Dr. Phillips spoke about fifty minutes, holding the rapt attention, with frequent applause, of the audience, which filled every section in the spacious assembly room. Dr. Phillips said, in part; "I am happy to be here to record the fact that you are training yourselves here in the greatest institution for your people in the world, to build up the character of our citizenship. The work of Tuskegee Institute is not limited to the South, but like the sunshine, is worldwide. How to Rise. But I want to emphasize the fact that great institutions are only means for the advancement, the progress, of the people. As the coral insects build their mountains in the sea by depositing their dead bodies, so you are to do your work by making great sacrifices. We must rise by the individual social unity. Before we can benefit society we must benefit ourselves. We must enrich our own lives before we can enrich the lives of others. So I want to impress upon the lesson of Tennyson—Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control; these three alone lead life to sovereign power. Again, I want to impress the profound precept of Pythagoras: "First, reverence thyself." Many profess to reverence God who do not reverence themselves. Lifting Up Others. Self-respect leads to respect for others. Reverence for the body leads to power. A pure and sanitary life is the keynote of religion. Reverence mind; reverence the wonderful human spirit that you may become useful in lifting up others." "I do not believe in the cringing spirit, in false humility; I am price, and not a worm." Dr. Phillips closed his inspiring address with the plea, "Know thyself;" stating that self-knowledge leads to self-control, leads to self-mastery. Knowledge is power, but power must be controlled and property directed. Do your own thinking, he said; stand upon your own feet, and teach your children and your race to do likewise." "It is not enough to generate power. The marvelous power of Nlagara Falls is dissipated because no way has been discovered to harness it. It is said that there was enough power in the earthquake at San Francisco to run all the machinery in the world a thousand years. Power must be directed by knowledge. There is plenty of power in the Christian world to reform the world, but we need wisdom to direct it. You are here to generate power. You want to know your own opinions. Only a few do the thinking in the world. Men and women are gregarious; they follow, not think. Find out your own opinions. Do your own thinking. Starting Things. People of opinion are people of initiation. Too many want for somebody else to start something. They don't know how to start. They are like the educated man who bought a fine horse and buggy, and was trying to make the horse go before the horse was unhitched from the post. The horse was jumping and pitching forward at every crack of the educated man's whip, but unable to get away because he was hitched. The initiative will unhitch." When you stop learning you die. Life up the world and you will rise. Inspire your children, and your race to keep up with the moving procession of civilization. Growth is marked by self-knowledge, self-respect, and self-control. At three o'clock in the afternoon Dr. Phillips left for Mongomery in a Tuskogee Institute automobile. Mr. J. B. Hobdy, Superintendent of White Rural Schools for Alabama, will speak Froday.
