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. 13 WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, AUGUST 28, 1915. THE NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE Miss Nannie H. Burroughs Electrifies Her Audience—Her Speech the Sensation of the Hour—Applauded Five Minutes. Boston, Mass., Aug. 20.—The Negro Business League is in session, and it is one of the greatest assembly of colored Americans in business that have ever been here. The sensation of the day was the speech of Miss Nannie H. Burroughs. Miss Nannie Burroughs stirred the Business League as did no speaker during the convention. She spoke on "The Appearance of Shop and Town a Drawing Card." When she concluded the great audience cheered for five minutes. She arose three times and acknowledged their appreciation, but it was not until Dr. Washington, who knows how to swing things back to their moorings said, "Perhaps you will stop cheering if I can extract from Miss Burroughs a promise to come to the League meeting every year and talk like that. They cheered again, Miss Burroughs bowed assent to Dr. Washington, and the audience settled down for the next. At the close of the meeting there was a rush to the platform to meet Miss Burroughs. The Boston Globe of Aug. 20 has this to say: Would Drive Away "Scarecrows." Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, head of the National Training School in Washington, proved to be a live wire. A silent speaker, she has an immense fund of humor. She said that the negro would win business success whenever he conforms to the highest standard set by the white business man. She urged the utmost personal cleanliness and observance of sanitary measures in the shop or store, as well as a due regard to esthetic ideas in decorating windows, etc. She advised that "negro scarecrows who have nothing to do but drive away a man's trade" be forbidden to loaf about the store or shop. "The negro should make up his mind," said she, "that he is not going to get patronage just because he is a negro." Maj. Robert R. Morton, head of the Corps of Cadets at Hampton Institute, told of the progress among the negroes of Virginia in the last five years through the agency of the Negro Organization Society, which embraces in its membership about 300,000 colored men and women. Other speakers were Prof. J. M. Gandy of the State Normal School at Petersburg, Vt., and James H. Dillard, a white man formerly dean of Tulane University, New Orleans. THE BOSTON POST OF AUG. 21. The Boston, Mass., Post had the following to say of Miss Burroughs: Evening Session Busy. At the evening session the two principal speakers were Miss Nannie H. Burroughs of the National Training School, Washington, D. C., and Dr. J. H. Dillard, a white clergyman of Charlottesville, Va.' Other speakers who gave short addresses were James E. Kefford, Waterbury, Conn.; E. W. Anderson of Brockton, who spoke on the experiences in the dyeing and cleansing business; Major R. R. Moton, a negro teacher from Gandy of the State Normal School for negro teachers in Virginia. It was the address, however of Miss Nannie Burroughs a young negro woman, typical of the observant and educated young woman of her race of these later days, which seemed to get farther into the hearts of her auditors and excite their interest than any other of the convention. Her address started out on a colored merchant getting business by keeping his store windows attractively dressed and both himself and the store immaculately clean, but in a few moments she commenced to call a spade a spade and she wound up by saying in effect that the negro brother need not attribute any lack of success to being black, but rather because as she termed it, he was "not able to deliver the goods." What probably "got" most of the people in the audience was Miss Burroughs' graphic description of a Kentucky horse race, with particular emphasis on the old Kentucky negro who had bet all his money on the horse ridden by a negro jocky. The old man had said to the boy: "Don't let 'em lef you, son." This was the text of her address, for the negro merchant not to let his white competitors leave him behind. "It is not more than one negro out of ten that can truthfully say his lack of success has been because of color discrimination," said Miss Burroughs. "The real reason is because you don't deliver the goods. You are living in a new age of comparison and competition. It's up to you to meet the competition like men, for it isn't being white that puts the white store keeper next to you ahead. Have the same concern as the old man at the race: Don't let them 'lef you.'" NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. (From the Boston Post). Concrete cases of success achieved by persistency on the part of the speakers were related and proved an interesting part of the morning session. Bishop William P. Thirkield, of New Orleans, ex-president of Howard University, a white man, roundly scored the Bostonians for their apparent interest in things anti-negro, because of their patronage of a photo-play now running at one of the local theatres. Bishop Thirkield advised the colored people to "go South," if they wished for opportunity. He declared that land in that part of the country could be bought cheap, but advised them to get there quickly, as the Yankees are grabbing it by the hundreds of acres. Miss Alice Hinton of Andover told the convention how she and her brother had been successful in building up an icecream business that was strated by their father. James W. Whitlow, a negro farmer, who lives near Tuskegee, Ala., told how he had bought a small piece of land and then added to his farm, until he now has 1,535 acres of land and a lot of live stock. C. W. Berry, owner of the largest and best hotel in Athens, O., told how he started in the restaurant business. To-day he owns a hotel assessed for $5,600 and pays an annual tax close to $1,000. C. C. Spaulding, of Durham, N. C. manager of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Insurance Company, told how his company, after 16 years, is to-day doing an annual business among the colored people of the South of nearly half a million dollars. Several delegates became severely quizzical, and personal questions were fired at every one of the speakers. Just the minute a speaker had related about his trials and successes he was made a target for questions, the leading one being, "How much money have you got?" Yesterday afternoon the members of the convention and friends toured historic Boston and surrounding towns by trolley. AT MOUNTAIN VIEW AT MOUNTAIN VIEW Mr. and Mrs. Cumber, who were called to Washington yesterday on business, returned today. We learn that many more have promised to motor up on September 4th, 5th and 6th. We now have the promise of 20 cars. Mr. Martin says he will positively keep the house open until September 15.

He was a member of Third Baptist Church and was for several years the director of the Mt. Pisgah A. M. E. Church choir. He was married in Richmond, Va. He and his young wife, Mrs. Louisa T. Holmes, joined the Third Baptist Church shortly after coming to Washington. They labored together for the upbuilding of that church in particular and Christ's cause generally. They both were from the most reputable families in Richmond. The friends of Mr. Holmes and Mrs. Holmes were out in great numbers to pay the last tribute of respect to his memory. Mr. Holmes profession did not allow him to remain continuously in one place, but he remained a member of the first church he joined. Rev. James H. Lee, D.D., the pastor, was out of the city, but he sent a beautiful letter to the wife and family. Rev. Cushenberry, the assistant pastor of the church, took charge. He was assisted by Rev. A. H. Catlett and Rev. J. I. Loving. Mrs. Marietta Clinkscales, of the Clinkscale-Tyler Choral Society, had charge of the music. Miss Medora Moxley, of E. Azalia Hackley Chorus, sang very effectively "God Will Take Care of You." He leaves a loving wife, a foster daughter, Mrs. Ruth B.

Lewis of the Industrial Savings Bank has returned to the city from Boston, Mass. Miss Effie M. Middleton, assistant cashier at the Industrial Savings Bank, has returned after an enjoyable vacation. Passing of an Estimable Woman, Representative of and Old Washington Family—Impressive Exercises —An Eloquent Sermon. Last Sunday afternoon Mt. Zlon M. E. Church, Georgetown, was the scene of beautiful and impressive funeral services, which paid the last tribute of respect to Mrs. Florida Thompson, who, though for many years withdrawn from active life, nevertheless wielded a strong influence upon those members of her family and friends who came in close contact with her. Mrs. Thompson died Wednesday, Aug. 18th, after an illness of about five weeks' duration, during which all that human skill could devise to comfort and prolong her last days was done. Her eulogy was pronounced by the pastor of the church, Rev. W. C. Thompson, who spoke from the text, "She hath done what she could," testifying in eloquent language to the unfalling courtesy and hospitality even shown by the deceased to those who entered her home, especially to ministers of the gospel, to whom she had been accustomed from her early childhood to show the utmost reverence and consideration. As Mary sst at the feet of Christ and drank in the words of divine wisdom, so listened this devout woman with never-falling interest and delight to His message from the lips of the representatives of Christ on earth as they gathered from time to time at her bedside to revive faith in the everlasting goodness of God. Rev. M. C. Clair also bore witness to the remarkable patience and saintly resignation of this devoted mother, to whose grief-stricken family he addressed sweet words of comfort, pointing them to the Christian's hope of an eternal life together beyond the skies with those beautiful words of St. John. "Let not your heart be troubled; I go to prepare a place for you, that where I am there ye may be also." In addition to the music rendered by the choir of the church, including favorite hymns of the deceased, "Just as I am," "Jesus, lover of my soul," and "In that City," appropriate soles were sung by the following gentlemen: Mr. P. Adams, "Angels, get my monstons ready;" Mr. Frank Williams, "Calvary;" and Mr. Claude Amos, "O, rest in the Lord." One of the touching features of the ceremony was the beautiful testimonial read by Mr. Charles A. Ford, a member of the District bar, describing the patient, lovely disposition and thoughtfulness for others of Mrs. Thompson, in whose home he had resided for more than a year. Resolution. There is no sadder duty which can come to us than when we are called upon to pay a last tribute of respect to one whom we have known so well, and who has been called to make the journey to the Great Beyond, there to await the reward due her in the better land. It was the pleasure of the undersigned to know the deceased for but a little more than one year. We knew her in her suffering; we knew her in her sorrow and in her affliction; but through it all we knew her to be brave and courageous, and to bear up with true Christian fortitude. It is, therefore, with sorrowful hearts that we pay this little tribute of respect to her memory. One writer has said that the death of the young is as the plucking of green fruit, not fully matured; but that the death of the old is as the falling of ripe fruit, which has become fragrant and mellow, ready to produce seed to replenish the earth. In the passing of our Mrs. Thompson, we feel that there has been simply a gathering of a precious fruit which the Master himself has cherished, which He has seen fit to pluck for His own garden and for His own use, to be transplanted in the garden above, there to ripen and mature. She has gone to receive her just reward. We shall ever cherish the memory of her kind and loving disposition. Without murmur or complaint she bore her sufferings. We bow in humble submission to the will of Almighty God, and accept His dispensation as an expression of His divine will. To the family we extend our heartfelt sympathy, and commend them to the Heavenly Father, who doeth all things well. "Why should our tears in sorrow flow When God recalls His own. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac). A bunch of confetti artists were discussing Judge Terrell's hitting the Darktown Chautauqua circle, down through Texas, under the management of Press Agent Biers, Saturday, while feeding themselves a ten cent lunch down at Dell Washington's. One speckled fresh water trout averred that if Judge could clear railroad expenses down in Texas he would be a paradisal bird. You know them there white crackers down in Texas aint strong for a real live chocolate, judge, and the chocolates down there who want to keep on the best possible terms with them there "best friends of the negro" down in them parts, aint going to be overly anxious to make any big noise over a real, sure "nuff" colored judge, even if he does sport a vandyke and parts his hair with towel. Then, again, one of the crowd, a South Carolinian with a complexion about half way between Kelly Miller's and Rev. Norman's, said there aint no money down South now, since cotton got knocked out by the war, than Jim Poe never had during his thirty years sojourn here and that never amounted to more than four blits at one time. "Take it from me," said the speckled trout, "I'd rather do the Chautauqua Circle stunt along about these times in any part of the Flii Islands than do it in the South, and especially in Texas, what's got the meanest crowd of crackers one can find this or the other side of Milledgeville, Ga., where they recently had a necktie party, with Frank as the chief beneficiary." Seriously speaking, I don't think you can ever get Judge started toward Texas so long as he is a real judge. Mebbe after he gets relieved of the toilsome duties of a judge, and he feels it incumbent upon himself to chase one or two stray dollars home to roost, he may slide down towards Texas, but not right now. What them there Texan crackers would do to our "only judge" when he got amongst them would sure be a caution. My advice to him, if he goes, is to take Wash Woods along to mix him up bracers every five minutes just to give him nerve to stand the ordeal. Texas aint no fitting place for a real live mauve-complexioned judge with a vandyke and a sandpapered and emerwheel polished dome. Just take it from me, ad if you doubt my word, go and interview that Texas derelict, Prof. Musical Jennifer, the Judge aint goin' to risk gettin' his feelin' his hurt by Chautauquaing through Texas. Somehow this old town has been awful dull for the past few weeks. Even the crop of rumors is sort of wilted and perished-like in appearance. Most everybody what could borrow ten per cent money is out of town, and those that couldn't borrow are languidly sticking to their own hearthstones. The crowd (?) what went over to Boston to attend the Business Men's League is back, and they were so many in numbers that the hotels of Boston couldn't accommodate all of them, some of them having" to sleep on the Boston Commons and camp in the vicinity of Bunker Hill. It is just a pity that this here old town, with more than one hundred thousand oxadized individuals, can't send a decent representation to the Business Men's League, Doc Washington's personally conducted society. Prof. Chas Moorse blew here a few week's ago under the guidance and press agency of Dick Thompson, and according to Dick he just simply revolutionized things he, and had the local league all "het" up with enthusiasm, and as a result negotiations were opened up with the railroad company for a solid Pullman train all steel coaches, consisting of two engines and twenty coaches to carry the crowd of localities to Boston. When it came time to go the same old number of about a half a dozen more or less, principally less, was all that could be mustered up to dive into their jeans for the price of transportation to Boston. Dick enthused them all he could, and made it appear as if Prof. Moore had increased the membership of the local league to about steen thousand bonified business men and camp followers, but it turned out, as usual, just nothing but stuff. I don't believe. Doc Washington himself could wake this here old town up to attending his league meetings. If you advertise a fox trot, a tango, or a Deverish whirl—that's the newest dance, everybody here, and their cousins and aunts, would make it, providing the charge wasn't more than a jitney or two. For about steen years they have been trying to get a local league here that would look like the replica of a real live one, but the nearest they can come to it is a lot of smoke, more noise, and a finished failure. Dick Thompson, and I hand it to him for it, has been a Negro Business League booster ever since he's been in the town, and although he aint invested one purple shinplaster in any line of business, he continues to attend the regular meetings, which meet regularly every year for one consecutive time just before the date set for the annual meeting of Doc Booker's big noise league. Dick smeared it all over Prof. Moore, and the Professor, who is a real business man what does nothing but teach school, smeared it all over us, but both failed to get more than the usual number from here to go; and the usual number is about two or three. When we had a contingent of dark-hued officeholders around here what owed allegiance and their bread and butter to Booker, we could always count on them going, but since the officeholding crowd has been reduced to two—just two, count 'em—nervous individuals who wake up every morning expecting to find Woody's request for their "resigne" in their mall, there is a mighty few in this town what takes interest in Brother Booker's personally-conducted enterprise, and pity it is for the town that they don't take more interest. Washington ought to have the banner local league in this here advertised free country, but we The St. Louis "Poro" College Force 2 3 aint, and I've lost confidence we ever will. We are long on tangoes, fox trots, the Deverish whirls here, but darn short on interest in a real live business league. Some day—but what's the use of speculatin'? Strolling Avenue de Nig, which in United States language is You street, Sunday, I espied the gold dust twins shuffling along and makin' goo-goo eyes at some of the men they passed. Now these gold dust twins are sure some dressers. They ape the fashions right up to the minute, even if their gowns, jackets, etc., are homemade. And they seem to have a fancy for displaying their hoisery at frequent intervals to tantallize we of the male persuasion. They are the most bizarre dressers that ever swept down from the classic precincts of South Washington. You have seen them, I know. They are regular Sunday afternoon promenaders, and they follow up all the latest creations to be found in La Mode. Yes, they are peaches, if their complexion is about four hour's late arriving at a brown skin color. Conversing with my old war strategist, Lieut. Thomas H. R. Clarke, late of the Spanish-American War Veterans who failed to see actual service, he remarked that General Mackinberg and General Hindenberg, and all the other sauerkrauts, appeared to be having a real summer picnic with them shaggy-beared missifs from up around Siberia, but he still has faith in Gen. Joffre's gold braid and gold lace to finally turn the tables and have. all the French bands playing the Marsellais while parading down Unter den Linden, Berlin's famous avenue, where Lieut. Thomas and myself have frequently strolled with a couple of beautiful Katrinas. Yes, Lieut. Thomas H. R. is the same matchless daring, and resourceful war strategist he was when the war first broke out, only his deductions aint all come true according to Hoyle. Speaking about Hoyle, ask Cobb.

ESTABLISHED 1880 TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION. HAITI. Of all the diabolical and unconstitutional acts that have ever been perpetrated are those which have been committed by the United States upon the black republic of Haiti. What right has this country to go and seize the republic of Haiti and administer her affairs? This is a small black republic which this country has been after a slice, Mole St. Nicholas, for a number of years. The same kind of row has been going on in Mexico but this country would not dare to land marines and take charge of the Mexican custom house. More brutal killing is going on in Mexico than there is going on in Haiti. Germany, Austria, France and Italy are butchering like beasts, but the United States will not dare to interfere, indeed, the United States will not dare to land upon the soil of any of these countries. The fact of the matter is, this country will not dare to send an impolite note to Germany. Speaking about killing American citizens by Germany, this country must think the German government is controlled by a class of idiots. It is not so. If Americans don't want to be killed let them stay off the ships run by the enemies of Germany. Is it natural to suppose that Germany will sit like a mummy and permit her enemies to bring war material to her enemies? Mr. Bryan is right when he says let Americans keep off the enemies ships. Why should this country allow itself to enter the war against Germany because some hot-headed Americans insist in sailing upon the ships of those nations that are in war with Germany? If the United States is insulted by the action of Germany, why not enter upon her soil and seize her custom house? The United States knows better. The United States knows that fooling with Haiti is not playing with Germany, Mexico, France or Russia. The Bee is of the opinion that the time has come for the American Negro to define his position. Speaking about right and justice toward the Negro in this country is all mockery and a farce to American civilization. Let this government let Haiti alone. REAPING A WHIRLWIND. REAPING A WHIRLWIND. The South has been lynching and burning Negroes alive, as a mere pastime for the edification of its depraved whites, for a number of years. Rarely ever has there come up from the South a protest against this form of entertainment for, and by, "the best citizens" of that section. No matter how horrible the lynching of a Negro was, the South never appeared to be aroused to the awful crime itself, or to the far-reaching effect upon its future. The South never stopped to consider, when lynching or burning a poor, innocent Negro who had neither hearing nor trial, that it was sowing only to reap a whirlwind. Tuesday last week some of "the best white citizens" of that state that is a blotch upon civilization, Georgia, made bold to proceed right to the penitentiary and forceably take therefrom Frank, the convicted murderer of Mary Phelan, also white, of Marietta, Ga. They carried him out and lynched him and then the depraved "best white citizens" mutilated his dead body, took photos of the hanging corpse which were eagerly sought after and bought by white men, women and children; and they stripped the tree upon which he, Frank, was hung, and sold pieces as souvenirs, and they paid fancy prices for bits of the rope with which Frank was hung. Frank was a white man. Now the South is aroused, it is horrified, and an investigation, with WAS DR. WASHINGTON QUOTED RIGHT According to the newspapers, Dr. Booker T. Washington has declared for a protectorate for Haiti, and in his opinion this country should be the protectorate. We assume that the doctor was correctly reported because, up to date, we have seen no denial of his interview. Assuming that the doctor was correctly reported, The Bee wants to declare with unmistakable emphasis that the doctor is wrong. The doctor has not publicly declared for a protectorate for Mexico when for three years conditions in that country have been far worse than in Haiti; when murder and pillage, and destruction in the Astec republic has been far more of a blotch on civilization than Haiti's internecine strifes. Now why should the doctor, with such prompt haste, advocate that this country, under this administration which has drawn the color line more marked than in 50 years, exercise a protectorate over Haiti? The Haitians' kinsmen in this country, we of the Negro race, would far rather see those of that republic Tousaint L'Overture made famous for valor "fight until the last armed foe expires; fight for their alters and their sires" until every man, woman and child of that poor little black republic had become extinct than see the United States, with the present Negro-hating administration, assume a protectorate over it. If this country, under the administration of the former rebel generals and rebel sympathizers, and southern enemies of the race, including the present president of these United States, will discriminate against, restrict and segregate ten millions of freedmen in this country because our skins are black, what would this country, administered by this Wilson administration, do to poor, revolution-torn Haiti's handful of patriots whom a Nepoleon failed to subject? There may be some truth in the oft asserted statement that "the white men of the South are the Negro's best friend," but this administration, with its southern-born president sanctioning segregation of the race in government departments, and removing officials because of their color alone, and its Tillmans' Hoke Smiths' Vardamans, et. al., continually assailing our race on the floor of Congress, gives no evidence that the "southern white men are the Negroes' best friend." And the South's record of lynching of Negroes, without hearing or trial, and burning them alive even in this the twentieth century civilization, is not such as to prompt a desire for a protectorate over Haiti to be administered by Woodrow Wilson's administration. The Bee hopes Dr. Washington has been misquoted. If he has not been then he is advocating a reign of injustice for Haiti to displace internecine strife, and between the two all Negroes will prefer the latter. Let Haiti work out her own destiny, without hindrance from rebel brigadiers. the already mixed whitewash at hand, is on to discover and punish the lynchers. "That which ye sow will ye also reap," the Scriptures announced thousands of years ago. The South is now beginning to reap what it has been sowing for 250 years—the ruthless murder, and horrible lynching and burning of innocent and unprotected Negroes, for its white citizens, steeped in crime and immorality, have begun to lynch their own. The South is beginning to reap a whirlwind. EYES OPENED. The coming political contest will be one that will open the eyes of the nation. On one side is Ex-President Theodore Roosevelt, the leader of the Bull Mooses, who declares that he will not unite again with the republican party. On the other side are such men as Senator Weeks, Ex-Vice President Fairbanks, Ex-Senator Burton, Gov. Willis and others. The standard bearer of the republican party should come this time from old Massachusetts, the cradle of liberty. The country is in need of a strong man. A man who believes in American rights. A man who has the confidence and respect of the nation. It is quite evident that Chicago, Ill., will get the next convention. If it does, then Congressman Mann, the leader of the House of Representatives, will make a strong fight for the nomination. The question has been asked, what part will the colored Americans play in the next political contest. There should be no question as to how he will stand. His eyes ought to be opened if they are not already opened. He should not hesitate, he should not procrastinate, he should take a front seat on the political band wagon of republicanism. The present administration has done nothing for him, but to humiliate him. This talk of independence in politics should never touch the colored American. There is nothing for him to do but to stand pat and when the roll is called, for him to march up to the polls and cast his vote for the man whoever he may be that receives the nomination of the republican convention. MUST APPOINT Dr. Thurston will be compelled to appoint a new colored assistant superintendent of schools at once. It is important to the colored schools to have a head to take charge at once. Dr. W. S. Montgomery, who is, at this time, the most popular and best-liked man in the school system, would make an ideal superintendent. Dr. Thurston should not delay in the matter. The opening of the schools is not 25 days off and the condition of the present assistant superintendent demands an immediate appointment. There are some very important changes to be made in the High School and certainly Dr. Thurston will not permit the present conditions in Normal School, No. 2, to remain as they are. Misses Dickerson, Jesse Wormley, Shippen and Mr. Jenifer should be divorced from the school system. It is a notorious fact and well known to many of the members of the board of education that a reorganization of both Normal School No. 2 and the High School should be recommended by the committee or High and Normal School. Attorney Fountain Peyton and members of the High and Normal School committee should know the bad conditions as they exist in these two schools. Will Dr. Thurston, as superintendent of schools, and Mr. Peyton who is aware that a reform in these schools is absolutely necessary, should confer and act for the best interest of the schools, the pupils and teachers.

MRS. FLORIDA THOMPSON. Continued from page 1. —(Hymn 591, Methodist Hymnal). As the large congregation slowly passed before the handsome casket surrounded by magnificent floral offerings from family and friends, many an old resident of Georgetown looked for the first time in many years on the face of one well-remembered and marvelled to see that time had left so little trace upon the serene and beautiful face upon which they tearfully gazed. The pall-bearers were Messrs. Fountain Peyton, M. Grant Lucas, Darwin D. Moore, George Fowler, Walter J. Singleton, William E. Hope, Joseph H. Stewart, and Benjamin Ford. The interment was made in Harmony cemetery, where the family has purchased a lot. Mrs. Florida Thompson, whose gentle spirit passed from us last Wednesday evening, the 18th inst., was born about sixty years ago at Langley, Fairfax County, Va., her parents being Robert and Harriet Gunnell, well-known residents of that county. She was married in her early teens to David Thompson, a former well-known caterer, with whom she lived in happy wedlock for thirty years, bearing him twelve children, seven years with her grandmother; and two little great-grandchildren, the children of Charles Thompson's daughter. Besides her children, there are left to mourn her three sisters, one especially loved, Mrs. Annie Fassett. Mrs. Thompson became a Christian in early childhood, her father being a pious Christian who maintained a place of worship upon his own plantation, "Gunnell Chapel," which still is used as a house of worship. There he labored earnestly in the cause of Christ and reared his children in the fear of God. Upon moving to Washington about forty years ago, she became a member of Mt. Zion M. E. Church, Georgetown, in which she retained her membership at the time of her death, although prevented from attending the services for the last seventeen years because of the fact that for that length of time she has been an almost helpless invalid. Though unable to walk, Mrs. Thompson's general health was such as to enable her to retain unimpaired her, mental faculties, not unusually strong, and to enter heartily and undertakings for the welfare of her family. Her cheerful, hopeful disposition and active mind made her a pleasant and interesting companion, keenly interested in the affairs of the outside world, and taking a loving and unselfish part in everything that concerned her friends, who came often to her bedside with their joys and sorrows, sure of sympathy and sage advice. In spite of being a shut-in for so many years, Mrs. Thompson carefully trained her children, directed the affairs of her household, and was unquestionably the center of influence in her family. Her children gratefully acknowledge that to her practical good sense, sympathetic understanding of each individual temperament and wise counsel, they owe whatever of success in life they have attained. Always it was her desire that a home be kept that all the children, no matter how far they might fare into the world, might have a home in which they could gather around her for mutual support and cheer. Her children repaid her loving thought for them with an unswerving devotion seldom witnessed in this day of selfish lives. To the minds of all the friends of this family, no sketch of Mrs. Thompson's life would be at all adequate that failed to mention the unselfish devotion and unremitting care given her mother by the youngest daughter, Flossie, now a teacher in Jno. M. Langston school of this city, who, ever since the marriage of her sister, Emima, to Mr. Frank W. Peterson nine years ago, has had the care of her mother and the management of the home. To say that this duty was performed with the conscientiousness and forgetfulness of self that characterizes this young lady generally, is to mildly express the absolute faithfulness and self-sacrifice with which Miss Thompson, to the slightest detail, insured the comfort, happiness, and well-being of the helpless invalid, without ever once being heard to express a word of impatience or weariness with her self-imposed and sacred task. And though all her children were devoted and faithful, much of her comfort was due to that son, Samuel G., of Detroit, Mich., mentioned so tenderly by Rev. Thompson as never sparing time, energy or expense to add to the happiness of his loved mother. Although absorbed in a splendid practice demanding his constant attention, Samuel G. Thompson never failed when summoned to his mother's bedside in her frequent attacks of the disorder that finally carried her off, never hesitating, but that he immediately and eagerly hurried to her. And now, in the sad beaement of the family, it is his presence and comforting efforts that make the mutual grief seem easier to bear. Mrs. Thompson's last illness of about five weeks' duration called about her bedside all her children, except her-daughter Fannie whose great distance and family cares prevented her arrival until the day of the funeral. Even then, with her body racked with pain and her mind filled with the consciousness of the approaching parting, during the intervals of freedom from pain, she showed her marvelous will power and deep concern for those about her by loving counsel and exhortations to them to be hopeful and courageous and trust the God upon whom her trust was stayed. She often said that she was supremely happy; that her every wish had been granted, and she was ready and willing to leave the scene of her long suffering and enter into the rest so long desired. Often she was heard to sing the old hymns of her faith, among her favorites being "Steal away to Jesus," "My sins are taken away," "In that city, bright city," "Just as I am without one plea," and "Safe, in the arms of Jesus." When one day toward the last one of her daughters asked what she could do for her, the mother replied, "There's nothing you can do; all you could do has been done; I'm simply waiting for his will to be done. Her son, Samuel between whom and his mother there was the deepest affection, and upon whom she greatly leaned, was called away from her side about a week before her death, when she was thought to be improving, by urgent business. Upon a sign of her approaching end, he was summoned, and knowing the earliest time at which he could arrive, the mother seemed to hold off death to wait for him. When he did not come on the train she expected, she sighed and said, "Too late; I can wait no longer." This was the evening of her death, when, after a severe convulsion of whom survive her, namely, Charles R., Samuel G., and J. David Thompson, the two elder sons now residing in Detroit, where Samuel G. Thompson is a successful attorney; Mrs. Jane Wayman, Mrs. Emma F. Peterson and Mrs. Fannie A. Pitt, the latter now living at Mound Bayou, Miss.; and Miss Flossie L. Thompson, a teacher in the public schools of the city and an active member of St Mary's P. E. church. Also surviving Mrs. Thompson are five grand-children, one of whom, Edna Wayman, has made her home for the past few velled eyes. breathed her last. On that same day she had suddenly surprised the household by singing loudly and clearly, "Just as I am without one plea," then stopped, and sald, "Not my will, but Thine, O Lord, be done." So passed away a strong, patient soul, whose influence for good will not cease with her death, but reach in ever-widening circles through those whom she loved into the distant future. So calmley sits Death's seal upon thy brow, Its majesty doth awe us, as though but now Some magic had disclosed to our The noble soul that now to far realms files. So wise a smile doth mould thy lips to beauty, It seems that thou has learned Life's secret duty; And what we mourn as loss and utter woe Is but the birth-page of thy soul, joyous to go. S C. DeN. Dearest mother, thou hast left us. We thy loss most deeply feel; But 'tis God that has bereaved us, He can all our sorrows heal. Gone, but not forgotten BY HER CHILDREN. HISTORICAL CHARTS. The unique historical selections of original compositions of great men by Mr. Miles C. Maxfield does honor to the colored race. These pictures and biographies are histories themselves, which should be in the homes of everybody. Not only should these historical charts be in every colored home, but they should be in our schools as well. The colored child knows but little of the great colored men of the race. Mr. Maxfield tells you who John Mercer Langston is; he tells you of Robert B. Elliot. Read elsewhere in this paper the 38 historical pictures. Mr. Maxfield was kind enough to present two of our favorite statesmen to The Bee, which shall adorn its office. HISTORIC PICTURES With the History of Patriotic Americans.

"Give the Negro his right name, Hamite, Which he had when the Bible was written; This name in truth covers all mixtures in Ham's descendants, and is much better fitted. We see no Word Negro in Holy Writ, Then why degrade Hamite-Americans with words like unto it. Why be proud of the word Negro with its capital "N," It leads to nothing but some black thing. The word Negro in Spanish means any black thing; Hamite-Americans are descendents of Ethiopians, Egyptians, Hamites, and Kings. The word Negro in Spanish means black; Its origin is in the Spanish language about eight centuries back. The Blacks, like other people, talk, work and sing; Why not use the name which leads to their noble ancestry with no degrading sting. The word Negro for all Colored Americans is not a name in truth; Let Hamite-Americans think and remove all degrading words of stigma in their youth. God said, Let us make man; He loved all colors in His plan. Our own American land, the best and first, Here the Blacks are hated wost. Man exist by animal, vegetable, and mineral colors, In God's great plan we should always follow. Let us stop Race-prejudice on account of color, And prevent a world of trouble that always follows. The Blacks are at the mercy of the mob; Many evil spirits have done the cruel job. Black United States citizens have rights even in the States, They should be protected wherever the white man hates. The South will not give us a fair vote, But we have great hope in our Supreme Court. Give the Blacks a god and fair chance, And our country's glory they will always enhance. Don't bother about color in our great progress; America must lead civilization in all the great West. Ye Anglo-Saxons, Normans, Picts and Danes, Why hate your own Colored brothers and cause a world of shame. In ages past the Blacks for the whites have made fortunes in King Cotton; With a square deal and fair chance, let not all these significant facts be now forgotten. In every battle fought, a Black patriot's name they sought; The Blacks captured the works at New Market Heights; That's why their descendants should have equal rights. The blacks look on their patriotic record with pride and cheer. Because the Union has been saved by the Colored Volunteer. When attacked by any foreign foe, We will need the Blacks as of yore. The Blacks led the van of civilization in the splendors of ancient yore. And with God and grace they may become as they were once before. Sin and idolatry caused their mighty fall. But the Blacks are rising fast to hear God's loving call. District Union of Baptist Women.

In the township of Perry, Pa., a girl of 20 superintends work on a 76-acre place, including care of six horses and several cows. Last spring she "breke" two colts. While on the farm she discards woman's apparel and wears trousers. While painting one of the bridges of the Harlem River branch of the New Haven Railroad, John Irato came in contact with electric wires charged with 11,000 volts that supplies power to electric trains. He fell to the ground, got up and walked away. He was taken to the hospital against his will, where it was learned that there was a slight burn on his shoulder and cuts about his face. The electric current had passed out of his body through the point of his belt buckle without injuring him. Wm.

DISFRANCHISEMENT IN THE SOUTH. The Supreme Court Decision Puts an End To Minority Rule. L. The decision of the United States Supreme Court on the Suffrage cases brought before that tribunal from Oklahoma and Maryland will inevitably result in a political upheaval in Southern states, for these disfranchisement laws in the South do not strike alone at the Negro, they also undermine popular government. It is all a part of a system for the political repression of the opposition to the Democratic machine. These acts are originated in the political necessity of a long dominant faction. They were not heard of until the Populist-Republican fusion movement in the South was threatening the overthrow of the old regime. It will be recalled how over forty Southern Democratic Congressmen were unseated in 1896 by contests brought up from the South and that it was shown then how the black belt Negro voting population was used as an asset by the Bourbon machine. This shaking up at that time of the Bourbon South caused the Southern Democratic machines to revert form the open faced fraud and counting out system of political control through the subterfuge of disfranchisement. The whole disfranchisement plan was evolved to avoid contests in Congress. That the XVth amendment establishes United States citizenship as distinctive from State citizenship and that a State cannot by any subterfuge deprive a United States citizen of his ballot rights is a main position taken by the recent Supreme Court decision. This ruling must alter the suffrage condition in the South. Should the states of the South fail to accept the letter and spirit of this decree it will surely follow that public sentiment will cause Congress to enact such laws as meet this situation. Before the disfranchisement each went into effect in the Southern states the vote for McKinley was as great in a dozen of these states as was polled by the Democracy in these states in 1910. The aggregate vote polled for Wilson electors in a dozen Southern states is no more than a million and a half while there are about 3,500,000 white and 1,500,000 blackes of voting age in these States. This shows, on its face, how far this sweep of the Bourbon's disfranchizement axe has gone and to what extent this political repression has existed, practically unrestrained, until this recent decision. Alabama, with 250,000 whites and 180,000 blacks of voting age, elects its governor on about 60,000 ballots, while ten congressmen come up on a similar aggregate vote. The absurdity of the condition it too apparent to permit of delay in dealing with this condition. The suffrage situation in Mississippi is even worse than in Alabama, for 30,000 or 40,000 votes dominate that state and elect the delegation to Congress. The entire country is affected by this machine political strategy and wire pulling. The South is now in the saddle because of it and, once for all, the country will insist that this form of political jugglery shall give way to real republican form of government. Under the guise and pretext of seeking to avoid Negro domination the Democratic partisan political machines have, in fact, bolstered up government by a minority of whites and to the exclusion of the white masses as well as the colored from the ballot. This the country is beginning to find to be the truth of the whole matter. From the Protectionist. The Grand Committee to Arrange for the Eighteenth B. M. C. the Eighteenth B. M. C.

Why Shouldn't Lynchling be Wiped Out—A Disgrace to American Christian (?) Civilization. By J. C. Cunningham. To the Editor of The Bee. We do not rejoice at the unlawful taking of the life of any human being; but in the case of Leo M. Frank, since it was decreed by the "court of courts," whose chief justice is "judge lynch," that he must die, perhaps it was God's way of bringing this disgraceful lynching of human beings to the place where all Christendom can see its damnable blot on our boasted Christian (?) civilization, hence we say, Amen! O, but you say, Shame on Georgia! shame on Georgia! Why should not we be honest and say, Shame on the United States government! For since rebellious Georgia, Alabama, Florida and other States which seemingly have been for years openly defying the (damn?) constitution of the United States. Whatever disgrace they bring upon themselves it reflects upon the whole nation and people alike. And it seems to us (though we might be wrong) that the Federal government ought to take some steps in wiping out the lynching of the men and women of this country. A mere "sham investigation" is but a mockery of law and order, and is laughed at by the cowardly hands of these midnight assassins and noonday mur TRIANGLE PRINTING CO.

Why didn't the authorities of the law start the "bloodhounds" at the door of the penitentiary from which Frank was taken and murdered? Have they no faith in blood-hounds only when they are trying to run down negro criminals? Does not the white man's feet smell loud enough for a hound to catch scent? Certainly. Ah, but the bloodhounds might trace the foot-steps of some friend or friends whom the Georgia grand jury would feel loath to indict. Mr. Governor of Georgia, get the bloodhounds! It isn't too late! Press them into service, and thereby show the world that you are in dead earnest about punishing the murderers who have brought a terrible disgrace on your State and the whole country alike. Call out the bloodhounds! Show them the place from which Frank was taken. But, you say, they rode off in automobiles. That's all right. Let the hounds get a scent at the penitentiary, and then take them to the place of execution. These hounds would no doubt tell on somebody. And while you are at the business of catching murderers of human souls in your State, Mr. Governor of Georgia, drag your net low down, and you might also catch the cursed murderers of a colored man, his son and three daughters of a very short time ago. And may God help you in your earnest determination to capture and punish the lynchers you are so faithfully seeking, is the earnest prayer of a friend of law and order. SPECIAL REDUCTION.

The Glories of the Divine Character Unknown to the World—Falint Glimpses Given to the Israelites—A Clearer Vision Given to the Church of Christ—Still Increasing Light—Gross Darkness Covers the World—"The God of This World Hath Blinded the Minds" of Unbelievers—The Knowledge of God's Glory Shall Cover the Earth During the Messianic Kingdom. Columbus, O. Aug. 22 — Pastor Russell is in our city today. We report his discourse on the text, "The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together." (Isalah 40:5.) He speaks as follows: PASTOR RUSSELL This text implies that a time is coming when everybody will know about God's glory—all flesh. This will include not only all who will then be living, but all who have ever lived. We rejoice that God has so grand a Program. We are given an intimation of this as we look into the past and observe that the glory of the Lord has not yet been revealed to the world. God gave some little intimations of His glory, His character, His design, to Abraham, telling him that by and by He purposed to bless the world through Abraham's Seed. But this was only a promise, not a revelation of God's glory; for only Abraham believed. Nevertheless he got a glimpse of that glory as he believed God's promises; so also old Isaac and Jacob. They saw faintly a great purpose of good on God's part, and a time coming when the curse of sin would somehow be rolled away and the true knowledge of God would reach all the human family. But still the glory of the Lord was not revealed. This hope, though vague, continued with the. Israelites, descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. After their deliverance from Egyptian bouldage, at Mount Sinai God made a covenant with them that, if they would keep His Law, they might demonstrate their qualification to be the Seed of Abrham to bless the world. But they were unable to keep the Law. None of the fallen race of Adam are able. (Romans 3:20) The hope of becoming the Spiritual Seed of Abraham faded from the minds of the Israelites. But to strengthen them the Lord promised He will make a still greater covenant than the Law Covenant. Jer. 31:31-34: Israel could not keep God's perfect Law. They failed because they were sinners, members of Adam's race, born in sin, mishapen in iniquity, in sin did their mothers conceive them, as the Bible explains. Finally God sent His Son, "born under the Law," put under the Law for the very purpose of demonstrating that what other Israelites could not do He could do. He kept the Law, thus manifesting that "He was holy, harmless, undefiled, and separate from sinners." Sinners were unable to keep God's Law, but Jesus kept it, and to Him was given the great privilege of being the promised Seed of Abraham. Qualified to Be Blesser of the World. His keeping the Law, however, did not make our Lord Jesus Abraham's Seed spiritual, but merely demonstrated His qualifications. Even though He was perfect, as a man He could not have done the work which God had purposeed; for He could not have given life to the race under sentence of death. In order to give life to the dying world He must first lay down His own life as an equivalent price for the life of Adam, in whom the whole race fell and He must also be a perfect Jew, to redeem those who were under the Law. He must take the step of sacrificing His human life-rights, that He might do the Father's will. This He did. But even then Jesus was not the Seed of Abraham that should bless the world, except as we might regard Him properly, as having been begotten to be this Seed. At the time of His baptism, He was begotten of the Holy Spirit to a New Nature. It was here that He consecrated His human life-rights unto death. During the three and one-half years of His ministry He carried out His Covenant of Sacrifice. This work was not fully accomplished until at Calvary, when He cried, "It is finished!" and died. When on the third day God raised Him from the dead, He was fully qualified to be the Blesser of the world as Abraham's Spiritual Seed—no longer a man, but a spirit Beling, privileged, with the price at His command, the value of his own human life-rights, to make application of it, in the Father's due time, as a Be dampton-price for Adam and his race Since His resurrection, our Lord Jesus is the Spiritual Seed of Abraham. Speaking of Jesus' death and resurrection, the Apostle Paul says, "Wherefore [because He was obedient unto death] God hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name." (Phillipplans 2:3-11) This name is Christ, the Anointed of God. Christ Jesus is anointed to be Head over the Church which is His Body, anointed to be the great High Priest after the Order of Melchisedec, anointed to be King of kings and Lord of lords—when He shall come into His Kingdom. "To the Jew First." The Bible tells us that God, who made this glorious arrangement for our Lord Jesus, provided also that a certain class should be gathered out of the world to be members of His Body, otherwise called "the Royal Priesthood," "the Bride, the Lamb's Wife," and His Joint-heir. The work of calling out this class has been going on for nearly nineteen hundred years. It was necessary that our Lord should begin this work of selecting the Church with the Jews.—Acts 3:25, 26; 13:48; Romans 1:16; 11:7-21. In a very few years the Lord apparently found 25,000 Jews who were thoroughly consecrated to Him—Israelites indeed, in whom was no gull." These were ready to receive Him: To such He said, "Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God; but to them that are without, all these things are spoken in parables and dark sayings." As it was in the Master's day, that none of the unprepared ones, either Jews or Gentiles, could walk in Jesus' footsteps, and as the things revealed to the worthy ones were revealed to their eyes of understanding, so to us today the Master's words equally apply. The Lord consecrated ones shall see, shall understand. It is not God's will that others shall know now. Their time to know will be that mentioned in our text. By and by the Message shall go forth to all We recall the various steps in the selection of the Church. First God selected the worthy ones from the Jews in Palestine, then from those scattered abroad. The Apostle says that everywhere the Jews were sought first and only after they had had their opportunity was the Gospel Call sent to the Gentiles. God wished a very cosmopolitan class to reign with Christ for the blessing of all mankind. Jesus is the Head of all these. All must be true-hearted, all must come through the same low gate of Conseration, all must walk the same Narrow Way—walk in the footsteps of their Forerunner. Whether Jews or Gentiles at the start, all are now New Creatures in Christ. Old hopes, aims and desires have passed away, and all things have become new.—2 Corinthians 5:17. Truths Revenled In Due Season. We have briefly traced the history of the world. During all this time the glory of the Lord had not been revealed. It is true that our Lord Jesus knew about the glory of the Father. The Apostles also saw the glory of the Lord clearly before their minds. Not many, even in the early Church, could see it clearly. (Eph. 1:18-23). The Apostles, though fully in God's favor, were not privileged, however, to know certain things that we may now know. Certain truths are dispensational and cannot be understood until the due time has arrived. To illustrate: The Prophet Daniel sought to understand certain things that had been declared to him. But the angel replied, "Go thy way, Daniel; for the words are sealed till the Time of the End." - Daniel 12:3-10. The Scriptures indicate that we entered the period of the Time of the End in the year 1730. Since then, the knowledge of the times and seasons has been forthcoming. The times and seasons have gradually been becoming better understood as the due time came for the wise in Heavenly things to understand. To this class it will be given to know everything that the Very Elect are to know, until the time when Christ shall receive the last of these unto Himself. We should test ourselves in the Divine arrangement of things, and not seek to ferret out in advance that which the Lord has not yet made clear God is able to make clear in due time whatever He has decreed shall come to pass. If we are in the right attitude of heart, we shall have enough to keep the eyes of our understanding open so that we can appreciate the things which are freely given us of God. His true children are witnesses to the fact that He has been opening the eyes of our understanding more and more during these last days. Certain great blessings have come to God's people, particularly during the past forty years—riches of grace and knowledge. Satan a Liar and Murderer. The world in general has been laboring under a gross misconception of God, which had its start six thousand years ago in Eden. God had said to our first parents respecting the fruit of the forbidden tree, "In the day that thou eatest thereof, dying thou shall die." But Satan, through the serpent, said, "This is not true. Ye shall not surely die." Thus he made God a liar, while he himself became a murderer; for he slew our race. (John 8:44.) But God remained quiet. He did not smite Satan down, although He sentenced Adam and Eve to death and drove them out of Eden. Practically the whole world has believed Satan's lie. Mankind believes that when they appear to die they really become more alive—that what is called death is really a good thing for them. Practically everybody believes that God spoke falsely when He said, "Dying, thou shalt die." This has greatly dishonored the Heavenly Father. Throughout the entire six thousand years He has been mlsrepresented. Satan's lie became the foundation for other falsehoods and mlsrepresentations. It has continued and multiplied; and upon it have been built all sorts of wrong suggestions regarding God and His character. This lie is today at the bottom of nearly all wrong doctrine. God has been misrepresented to be the One who originally planned all the terrible tortures which we are told are being inflicted in places called Hell and Purgatory. That God had to put men somewhere is the theory. A dead person could remain in the tomb, unconscious; but if the supposedly dead person is alive, he must be put somewhere. "Only a handful fear God, and therefore the great mass," they say, "must have gone to a place of torture; being alive and unfit for Heaven, they must be in Hell or Purgatory." Many say, "God would be glad to destroy man if He could, but He made man too well; and although He said that man would die. He can not kill the soul, which is immortal." Nearly everybody believes this nonsense about our Heavenly Father. They slander Him, making Him out to be the worst Beling that ever lived. One cannot picture any more wicked being than we have been told that our Heavenly Father is. We are given all sorts of descriptions, according to the measure of ignorance or wilfulness of the one describing God—the God of all grace and mercy. Why has He not smitten those who have thus blasphemed His Holy Name? But He has not. He has even allowed some of His children to do this in ignorance and blindness. To some in his day the Apostle Paul expressed the fear that Satan would beguile many of the Church just as he had beguiled Mother Eve-by false doctrine, misrepeating the Almighty. (2 Corinthians 11:2). It is very difficult for us to realize that we ever came into such a condition that we believed such lies; yet we must have done so. It is difficult for us to sympathize with others who are in that condition; but we were once just as blind ourselves. Ignorance is the great tool which the Adversary has used to blind the whole world. - Acts 3:17; 1 Corinthians 2:3; 2 Corinthians 4:4. Satan is a rebel against Jehovah. He wishes that the glory of God should not shine into the hearts of mankind; for it has a sanctifying influence, causes us to will and to do God's good pleasure. Satan would hinder us, would keep us in the dark respecting God's real character. God's Purposes Will Be Accomplished. God's Purposea Will Be Accomplished. The idea of some evangelists that God is weeping and gnashing His teeth over the condition of our race is because they do not know that there is a God of all Wisdom and Power, who has full control of the situation. He has a broad, deep Plan that will all work out properly. He is not giving it any anxious concern whatever; for He has laid the responsibility upon His Son Jesus, as the Bible sets forth. In this great work of human uplift the Church will be associated with her Lord. For a thousand years it will progress. As the Bible declares, Messiah will bless all of Adam's race, restoring to them all that was redeemed for them at Calvary. It was a man that was lost. It was an earthly home in Eden that was lost. It was an earthly likeness of God that was lost. Jesus came to seek and to recover that which was lost; and by the end of the Millennial Age the world will have been restored and will be ready to be received of the Father.—1 Cor. 15:24-28. Then, the Bible tells us, God will have another work for Christ to do. It will be for Him, as Jehovah's Agent, to test all mankind in their rich perfection at the end of the Millennial Age; and whoever is not in full heart sympathy with righteousness, whoever does not hate injustice, will be destroyed from amongst the people. Everything unfavorable to mapkind will be rooted out. He will destroy all who love unrighteousness and sin, both root and branch. (Malachi 4:1.) St. Peter, speaking on this subject, says, "These, like natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, shall utterly perish." (2 Peter 2:12.) From this Second Death they will have no resurrection. "They shall be as though they had not been.—Obadiah 16. God's Glory Soon to Be Revealed. But the point which I especially wish to make is this: During all these six thousand years past, the glory of the Lord has not been revealed. All flesh have not seen His glory. The only ones who have seen it are God's spirit-begotten children. (Itouans S:9.) All that these have seen of His glory has been since they became God's children. Then the eyes of their understanding began to open; and if they have been faithful, their eyes are opening more and more to behold the glory of God—the grandeur of His character, His loving kindness and His tender mercies. All the good qualities that Satan says our Father does not possess, He does possess; all the evil qualities that Satan says He has. He does not have. During the Millennial Age, all flesh shall have opportunity to see God's glory. They will all come to see, to understand. "All the blind eyes shall be opened, and all the deaf ears unstopped." God's keeping quiet for so long, not defending Himself against His traducers, will ultimately redound to His greater honor (Psalm 50:21). When the world really come to know that God is Love, they will have such a revelation of feeling from all the wrong thoughts they have had in the past that it will cause them all the more to appreciate the riches of God's glorious character. As a dark background often sets forth more perfectly the harmonies of a beautiful picture, so the darkness and misrepresentation concerning Jehovah will ultimately redound to His praise. The world will all the more love and honor Him. This will be only the beginning of their adoration, which will increase as His glory and His goodness continue to unfold before their astonished eyes. To know our God is to love Him. ELIJAH THE PROPHET. 1 Kings 17:1-16.—August 22. A Faithful Servant of the True God. Elijah a Type of the Church—The Antitypical Jese 1:1 and Ahab—The Antitypical 1,260 Days of Spiritual Famine—Reformation by Sects—The Latest Reform Movement. "Casting oil your care upon Him; for He carceth for you."—I Peter 5:7. of Israel, assuring the king that there would be neither rain nor dew in Israel until Elijah would pray God for it. This meant drouth, famine, trouble. Elijah was not making this declaration on his own authority; he had been so directed of the Lord. True prophets of God are not boastful, and never take honors or powers of themselves. They speak merely as Divine mouthpieces. The Israelites had gone into idolatry, and King Ahab had co-operated as leader. God's prophets had been per- secured, and Baal's prophets honored. A great national chastisement might do them good. Accordingly the issue was plainly stated to the king by Elijah, who was then directed to go to the brook Cherith, near where the Jordan ```markdown ``` enters the Dead Elijah fed by ravens. Sea. There he lived for three and a half years, away from the public. Morning and evening the ravens brought him food. Finally the brook dried up; and the Prophet was directed to the home of a widow of Zarephath, in the land of Zidon. This poor widow had but a remnant of meal, but had faith enough to share it with the Prophet. The result was a miracle. The remnant continued until the end of the famine. Elijah's Antitypical Prophecy. Elijah and all his doings were typical of greater things which followed. He was a type of the Church in the flesh—the Church of which Jesus is the Head, and His salutty followers are the members. Of this antitypical Elijah God declared, "I will send you Elijah the Prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful Day of the Lord; and he shall turn the heart of the children to the fathers, and the heart of the fathers to the children; otherwise I will come and smite the earth with, a purse"—Malaachi 4.5.6. Jesus, the Apostles and all His followers, as members of this greater Elijah, actuated by God's Spirit, have been delivering a Message to the world, reproving sin and making known the righteousness of God. Had the world heeded the Message, Messiah's Kingdom would have been ushered in without a "Day of Wrath" being necessary. But the world has not heeded the Message; hence the smiting the world with a curse, the great Time of Trouble now beginning, is the only way by which the Kingdom can be ushered in. The nations, having accepted a form of godliness merely, without its spirit and power, are Christian only in name, as the present great war for commercial supremacy abundantly demonstrates. By this war and by the great revolution which the Bible declares will follow it, and by the resulting world-wide anarchy, all kingdoms will be overthrown and all existing systems and institutions ground to powder, that the way for Messlah's Kingdom may be prepared. Fulfilment of That Prophecy. Fulfilment of That Prophecy. That God meant Elijah to typify the Church is confirmed by certain statements of Revelation. There a great religious system is figuratively described as Jezebel, and the worldly systems to which this professed Church of Christ is united are represented as Ahab. As Elijah fled from their power for three and one half years, so the Church is said to flee for three and a half "Times," or symbolic years, or 42 months, or 1200 days.—Revelation 2:20; 25; 11.2; 3; 12.6; 13.5. As during Elijah's absence there was no rain, so during those 1200 years there was no spiritual rain. (Amos 8:11, 12) The bishops suppressed the Bible because if the bishops heeded the teachings of Jesus and the Twelve Apostles "whom He appointed (St. Paul taking the place of Judas), they would ignore the teachings of those who arrogated to themselves the power and authority which Jesus declared belonged only to The Twelve. A woman in a dress According to the Bible, those 1200 years began in 539 A. D., when ecclesiastical power attained persecuting ability, and ended in 1799 A. D., when the pope was taken prisoner to France. In another sense, however, the 1260 years would very properly extend from 325 A. D. to 1585 A. D. In 325 A. D. the self-styled apostolic bishops convened under the patronage of Emperor Constantine, constituted themselves the Ecumenical Council of Nice, and formulated the first of the great creeds—the Nicene Creed. Thenceforth the creeds were studied, and the Bible neglected. Since the 1260 years ended, the reform movement has prevailed—reformation by sects, each claiming to be the true Church. Now, however, Christian people, realizing that none of these denominations is Christ's Church, gather to the Lord.
