Washington Bee

IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Congressional Library Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE VOL. XXXVI, NO. 14 WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1915 IS THE BEE IN ERROR? IS THE BEE IN ERROR? THE "BEE" IN ERROR. From the Voice of the People. From the Voice of the People. The Washington Bee devotes an entire column in an editorial directed against the views held by the Editor of the Voice of the People, Rev. J. A. Bray. This article appears in issue of August 7, and is entitled "The Alabama Editor." The article written by the Alabama Editor was a protest against a bill passed by the Georgia senate, prohibiting whites to teach in Colored Schools. The bill was not designed to affect the public schools in any way, for that question has been settled long ago in the State of Georgia, and in practically all the Southern States, except South Carolina. The purpose of the bill was to cripple the higher education among the Negroes in the State of Georgia, and especially the higher education as promoted by institutions such as Atlanta University, Clark University, Spelman College, and the Gammon Theological Seminary. The Bee is not only in error, but the Editor shows himself in want of information regarding the question of education in the Southern States. In such institutions as the ones mentioned above, there are needed men and women of the broadest culture and largest experiences, trained in the best schools of the land, which is the case in these institutions. Their Presidents and leading professors come from institutions such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Vassar, Wellsley, Mount Holyoke, Chicago University, and institutions of similar standing. We feel proud of what our distinguished Negro institutions are doing. They are indeed sending out a number of well equipped men and women to labor in our High Schools, Grammar Schools, Academies and such like, but those desiring to take higher courses in the educational field, after finishing at these schools, take work in some Western or Eastern University. So that in the first place to all our institutions of higher education with those prepared in our distinct Negro institutions in the South would lower the standard of our schools and Universities. We have a sufficient supply of men and women of broad training and large experience to do the work in our colleges in the South. Again the institutions are very largely dependent upon Northern Philanthropists for their support, and representative Northern Whites connected with these schools will give an access to Northern Philanthropists that Colored men could not have. The same is true as in the case of the President of Howard University. Why does not the Bee insist that the President and instructors connected with Howard University shall be Negroes? The Bee mentioned that the teachers' training department and the Normal school of Washington can supply the schools of the South with educators sufficient for the demand. The Editor of the Bee shows himself here to be in want of the proper kind of information to discuss this subject. There are several, schools in the South with standing, at least equal to that of Howard University, that are turning out graduates everywhere in considerable numbers from their college department, and Normal departments, but those of us who understand the problems, their demands, needs of the Negro, know that we are not turning enough of men and women out equal to the task of undertaking to run our institutions of higher education. The Southern field will welcome graduates from the Washington Grammar School, and from the Teachers training department from Howard University, as they are doing. For it is in this field that most of these teachers find opportunities for teaching, but unless they take superior training in Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and such other institution they are not equal to the work of teaching in our colleges. This discussion does not touch the common schools, nor the Academies but institutions for the higher education for the Negro. But aside from all this, a bill preventing the Whites from teaching in Negro schools is wrong in principle such as a bill would be wrong in the North, or West that would prevent Negroes from teaching for whites. This bill deals with individual choice. It proposed to prohibit those who may wish to do missionary work among the needy, even from doing that. The same law would prohibit a white lecturer from addressing a Negro body, in as much as preventing the missionary inclined, from teaching the word of God to a benighted soul that might be covered with a black skin. With this form of legislating begun, there is no telling where it might end, so that the Editor of the Voice of the People advocates a permanent and substantial policy, and not one that is merely present and temporary. The Editor of the Bee is not only narrow in the scope of his views, but exceedingly short in his vision. In his attempt to appear to feel proud of the Negro in this article is too cheap for an Editor of a paper of standing like the Bee. Besides he used undignified language as this "The Voice of the People. Rev. J. A. Bray, D. D. Editor howls like a mule" I wonder what he means by that? And further in the article he says that if this preacher had any sense or one grain of reason in his brain, he would commend the "Cracker" Legislature of Georgia for its liberty. Now this preacher may have neither sense nor reason, but the position taken by him meets the approval of men and women in the South who are credited with both. I would suggest that the editor of the Bee use and argument rather than an abuse, for often abuse indicates a want of argument which appears to be true in the case of the Bee. Let the Editor of the Bee inform himself of the standing of institutions of higher learning for Negroes in the South, and the South, and the number of teachers of broad training and experience that it will take to fill these places, and then let him study the principle involved in the question sprung by the bill passed in the Georuses with gusto. The Rev. Mr. BEE—9 gla senate, before the Editor of the Bee attacks another article written by the Editor of the Voice of the People. We trust that he will inform himself and not expose his shallowness and narrowness. J. A. BRAY. REPUBLICAN RALLY. Speakers for the Great Demonstration and Band Concert—Hoffman's Band in Attendance.

THE BEE Published a: 1109 Eye St. N. W., Washington, D. C. W. CALVIN CHASE, EDITOR Entered at the Post Office at Washington, D. C., as second-class mail matter. ESTABLISHED 1880 TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION. One copy per year in advance..$2.00 Six months.....1.00 Three months.....50 Subscription monthly.....20 "The Bee' in Error" is the caption of a double column editorial in The Voice of the People, by its Editor, the Rev. J. A. Bray, D.D. If all D. D.s are like the Rev. Mr. Bray, The Bee would suggest to him to attend to the D.D. which he Bray states that The Bee is in error in that it doesn't know the needs of the Negro in the South on educational lines, that the leading professors come from institutions such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Vassar, Wesley, Mount Holyoke, Chicago University, etc. Now the Southern educational institutions, according to the declarations of Rev. Bray, will be deprived of the knowledge of such men. The Bee is of the opinion that Rev. Bray has no faith in colored educators who graduated from those colleges and less in himself. Since the colored Americans have succeeded thus far with Negro teachers, why should they regret the act of the Georgia Legislature in prohibiting white men from teaching in colored schools. "Again the institutions are very largely dependent upon Northern philanthropists for their support, and representative northern whites connected with these schools will give access to the Northern philanthropists that colored men could not have." The great trouble with a majority of Southern Negro Educators is, they depend more upon others than they do upon themselves. If The Bee is to judge of the ability of the Rev. D.D. it would readily conclude that he is in need of the real condition of Southern educational institutions. In speaking of Howard University the Rev. D. D. says: "Why doesn't The Bee insist that the president and instructors connected with Howard University be Negroes?" In reply to this question, The贝森 begs leave to inform the gentleman that it has from time to time stated that the president of Howard University should be a colored man and it named Prof. Kelly Miller, Prof. L. B. Moore, Prof. Du Bois and other eminent Negro educators. It has also insisted that the instructors of Howard University should be Negroes, and to a large extent a majority of the instructors at the university are colored men of high class, with but-on exception and this exception is concerning a Negro instructor who has gone on a vacation to get more sense in the brain. His place could be easily filled by another Negro among the many who are floating around the country. We have professors to give away if the Rev. D.D. is in need of any. Prof. L. B. Moore, Prof. Kelly Miller, Prof. Syphax are Negroes for the kind of work that is needed in the South. Every graduate from Howard University in all of its departments generally surpass all graduates from such colleges as Dartsmouth, Harvard, University of Pennsylvania and other great institutions in the United States. The positions they hold today and the money and property they have accumulated are proofs of the training they have received from the Negro teachers at Howard University. Compare the graduates from the colleges named by the Rev. D. D. with those who were graduated from Howard University and he will be convinced that they are no more than ordinary teachers in our high and normal schools, while Howard graduates are making marks of high standing. The learned D.D. wants to know what the Editor of The Bee meant when he said that he "howls like a mule." The Editor should have said that any person who regrets the removal of white instructors At Eureka Park, Wednesday, September 8th—All Loyal Republicans Invited to Listen to a Great Speech by a Great Man. A rare treat is in store for those republicans of the District of Columbia, who will be fortunate enough to attend the Republican Rally of The Capital City United Republican Club at Eureka Park, Wednesday, the 8th inst. The principal orator will be Congressman Richard W. Austin of Tennessee, representing the loyal second district, a congressional district no democrat ever represented. The Gibraltar of republicanism in the United States. Mr. Austin's speech will be a National Keynote and practically the first gun fired from the republican batteries opening the Presidential campaign for 1916. Mr. Austin is a protectionist and a stalwart of stalwarts, never gave or asked quarters from any member on the democratic side of the House of Representatives since he has been a member of that distinguished body. When the democratic landslide of 1912 retired scores of Republican leaders from Congress, it devolved upon a small group of republican members of the 63rd Congress to rehabilitate the Grand Old Party and present to the country the position of the republicans on the tariff and other economic and industrial questions. Notably in this coterie of statesmen is Richard W. Austin. The Bee has followed closely the record of every member of Congress on racial legislation. It can be said of Congressman Austin that he has been our consistent friend and used his great influence in our behalf. His efforts to have the government reimburse the depositors of the old defunct Freedman's Bank is a monument of his fidelity to his colored fellow citizens. from Southern colored institutions brays like the animal that carried Christ into Jerusalem, if what the Bible says be true, and certainly the learned D.D. has a knowledge of the sayings and prophesies of the prophets. For the benefit of its readers the entire Editorial of the distinguished D.D., who by his own admission depends upon Northern philanthropists for suceor. The Bee has no intention of offending the learned Doctor of Divinity in the least, but it would advise him to reread his Editorial. COLORED CITIZENS BARRED. MISS E. A. CHASE, Principal of Jones School, Wins the Watch. The Teachers' Popularity Contest is over. It has been most interesting to watch the votes come in each week and note how pupils and friends rallied round their favorite teacher and proved their loyalty, too, by sending in the votes that proclaim the winner. We congratulate Miss Chase, and trust she will continue to enjoy for many years the favor and high esteem of a host of true, good friends. Early last spring, Phyllis Wheatly Household of Ruth, No. 2302 G. U. O. of O. F., selected and authorized Inmates Anna L. Hart, Maragret Tillery and Minnie Jackson, to organize a juvenile branch of the order composed of children between the ages of three and fifteen years. Through the energy of these Inmates, (Supervisors,) with forty-seven children gathered into a body, on Sunday May 12th, last, the "Jewels of Praise" Juveniles No. 1242 G. U. O. of O. F. was duly instituted. In the exercises incident to the institution of this juvenile branch, the Supervisors were assisted by Mrs. Mary A. Parker, the Most Worthy Grand Superior of the Households of Ruth in America and J. H. A. Lee, a member of the Rising Sun Lodge No. 1365. The officers of this body of Juveniles are: Frances Reed, President; Corinne Brooks', Vice President; Cordella Jackson, Financial Secretary; Pearl E. Jackson, Recording Secretary; Helen Cameron, Treasurer; Ethel Broadus, Sick Visitor; Rubie Jones, Guardian; Clara Dodson, R. S. to President; Ethel Johnson, L. S. to President; Edna Gant, R. S. to President; Geneva Hill, L. S. to President; Ethelyn Evans, Worthy Usher; Louise Turner, Worthy Chamberlain. Through the energy of the Supervisors, Anna B. Hart, Maragret Tillery and Minnie Jackson, the membership of this organization has been greatly increased. On making the first report to the Phyllis Wheatly H. R. July 15th last, the Inmates of the Household expressed their hearty appreciation of the work of the Supervisors and extended them a voice of thanks. TEMPERANCE ORGANIZATION. At a meeting last Sunday evening, August-29, at 5:30 o'clock, a large number of young men and women met in the parliors of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church to bring into ex- istence a temperance organization, needed among the people of our race and the District of Columbia. The organization is fostered by the Allen Christian Endeavor League of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, and it is planning to do some very effective work during the incoming months. Its policy, however, is to persuade the colored people from the domination of the liquor traffic. The society was organized by Miss Christina Carter. Miss Irene Mahoney was chosen as president, and among the matrons appointed were Mrs. Cunningham and Miss Julia Harrison. The charter members who enrolled Sunday evening were Miss Grace Williams, Mrs. Florence Busy. Mrs. Annie Lucas, Miss Ella Todd, Miss Susan Miller, Miss Florence Hawkins, Mrs. Lydia Sheperd, Mrs. Della Hill, Mr. E. S. Heywood, Mr. A. J. Williams, Jr. Miss Alberta Williams, Master Johnp George, Jervis of Cuba, Mr. Dolan B. Yates, Mr. J. W. Lee, Mr. U. S. Brown, Mrs. A. E. Waddleton, the Misses Bottesse, Messrs, Jesse Sims, R. A. Tucker, S. Z. C. Weterfield. They have selected the first Sunday evening in each month at 5 o'clock as their regular meeting time at the church, and visitors are invited to attend. Moonlight Excursion Mantoloking, N. J.—A delightful mmonlight excursion given by Capt. Downer Monday, Aug. 23, was enjoyed by a great number, leaving Alberson Pier at 8.30, making first stop at Ba Head, having chartered a trolley there for Point Pleasant, where we all enjoyed a beautiful play, entitled, "Lear Surrendered." After the play we all had ice cream, returning home at 1.30. Among those present were Mrs. Florence Commodore, George Commodore, Herbert Commodore, all of Charlottesville. Va.; Miss Inez Duffin, Baltimore, Md.; Miss Miss Jane Bremer, Baltimore, Md.; Miss Adee Folmore, Baltimore, Md.; Miss Noble Collins, Philadelphia; Miss Lula Flood, N. Y.; Mr. John King, Washington, D. C.; Mrs. Nancy Beal, New York; Mrs. Elsie Jackson, Hillburn, N. Y.; Mrs. Mary A. Diggs, Washington, D. C.; Miss Mary Scott, Washington, D.

J.; Miss Mildred Miller, Newark; Miss Jackson, Nutley, N. J.; Miss Beatrice Gray, and many other. The evening was greatly enjoyed by all. We all think Capt. Downer's motto is more blessed to give than to receive. Mt. Carmel Baptist Church. Attorney Wm. Harrison of Oklahoma addressed the citizens at Mt. Carmel Church on Monday night. Addresses were also delivered by Attorney McLauren, F. Finley Wilson, Judge Pennell and others. Attorney Coburn presided. Preparations are being made by the church to send Rev.

Austin of Tennessee. J. H. H. One of the Speakers at the Republican Rally at Eureka Park, Sept. S. J. THOMAS L. JONES, ESQ. One of the Speakers at the Republican Rally September 8th Up to this this time no word has come in from Stefansson, the explorer, who left via Mackenzie River, April 7, 1914, in hope of finding land beyond Alaska. It is believed that he and his three companions perished. According to his own research work and that of other investigators of the the earth's ploneers, Rev. Camden M. Cobern, Alleghey College archaeologist, the following things existed at the beginning of the Christian era: Shorthand was as common then as it is now. Elevators were run in certain palatial homes. Pipe organs driven by water-power were in use. Roads were built on concrete 3 to 5 feet deep, excelling the best automobile drives of the present day. In the United States in 1910 there were 885,881 colored males, and 4,941,882 colored females, the ratio of males to 100 females 98.9. There are no dairies in China, so the Celestials have to condense milk. This gives Americans a new market of vast proportions. China has 421,000,000 people, or more than four times the population of the United States.

Davis, of this city, was married to Mr. Albert W. Milton, reputed to be one of the wealthiest negroes in Philadelphia. The wedding ceremony was performed by the Rev. Dr. Griffin on the 19th day of August, 1915. The bride was given away by Mrs. Matthew White, a life-long friend of the bride's family, and with whom she had domiciled for some months prior. The magnificent home of Dr. Stamford, an eminent physician of the Quaker City, was the scene of a gathering of the, host of friends of both the bride and groom, all of whom were lavish in their cordiality and congratulations. The congenial host, Dr Stamford, who also acted as best man, surprised the newly-weds by an elaborate and most sumptuous repast. While the wedding was quite informal, yet the elaborate scale upon which the host dispensed his hospitality, gave scope to the affair that far exceeded the expectation of the bride and groom, and thereby made one of the most delightful wedding parties recently held in the quaint but classy city of Philadelphia. The bride was the recipient of many handsome and costly presents from her husband, chiefly among which was a new 1915 touring car. Many gifts were received from the numerous friends. The happy couple left next day after wedding, and motored to Cape May, where they had previously engaged the handsome and exquisite "bridal chamber" at the Hotel Dale, where they sojourned for ten days. They were the recipients of many telegrams of congratulations. During the months of September they will move into their new home, owned by themselves, and take up their abode, at which place their numerous friends will be cordially welcomed. Mr. Milton is a prosperous business man of Philadelphia, and represents one of the old and estimable families of that city. He conducts a large business, and by thrift, industry, and business sagacity acquired considerable wealth. The bride, Mrs. Nan V. Davis, is well known in Washington society, she having lived in this city for the past ten years, where her former husband, Dr. Davis, was a highly respected and successful practitioner.

The Supreme Court Decision Puts an End To Minority Rule. By Joseph C. Manning 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.

H. EDGAR LEWIS, 63rd and Eastern Ave. N. E. Opp. Chesapeake Station. Phone, Lincoln 3193 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 acts 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 disfranchisement 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 govenor 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 publican form of government. Un d 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.

The Cradle of Liberty (?), Equality (?) of Citizenship. By J. C. CUNNINGHAM. Editor The Bee: Let us consider the "grandfather clause" for a moment. That wretched clause has been, as it should have been in its infancy; declared unconstitutional. The grandfather clause was intended to ignore the Federal Constitution in a "nice way;" and because the friends of the constitution was too timid, deceitful, and coward to fight this unjust infringement on the rights of ten millions of true American citizens, they succeeded, until God placed into the heart of one of their (the South's) own sons—Chief Justice White—to no longer harbor their wrongs in ignoring the Federal Constitution. But, as to those who rejoice in the fact that the grandfather clause has been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the land, and that the colored man has again come in possession of his rights to vote for his choice of the candidates for office, there is another question to be considered. Now, the decision of the Supreme Court virtually gives to the colored voters the same rights as any other voters to cast their ballots for their choice of candidates for office, and that those ballots shall be counted, etc. But that just decision will amount to nothing if the chief magistrate of this country falls to do his duty in enforcing that section of law which guarantees protection in these rights. There are a class of do-as-you-please citizens in this country who care no more for the decision of the Supreme Court of our country than they do for a decision of a little "notary public." And if the colored brother is not particularly in a hurry about going to heaven he will do well to remain away from the polls until he is guaranteed to be protected in his rights, as he should, like other American citizens. For, although the law of the land gives the colored man the right to vote, the lawless "riffraff" of the country openly defy the law and say he shall not vote. Hence, if the colored voters in the "grandfather, states" attempt to vote at the next Presidential election they will be shot down (by parties "unknown to the jury of investigation") like dogs. The Supreme Court has done its part. Now, if our Chief Magistrate will do but his part in enforcing the law of protection, we will again have some able colored senators and representatives in the United States Congress. But, after all, we would rather see these places filled by white men who are friends of the colored race, than to have a repetition of some of the negro representatives we have had in Congress. But we have, thank God, a new type of negro manhood of this day and time. Oh, if we could get such men to represent us in the coming congresses as Harris of Oklahoma, Mitchel of Virginia, Chase of the District of Columbia, Dubois of Howard De 700 Tea Street, N. W.

Phone North 4017 A·GREAT PRIESTHOD DIVINELY APPOINTED God's New Order of Priesthood—Each Member Called and Chosen—The Great High Priest Especially Honored—His God-Given Commission—His Sacrifice of Himself—Under Priests of This Order—Membership Limited In Number—The Great Purpose For Which This Priesthood Is Ordained. Albany, N. X., August 29. Pastor Russell delivered a masterful address here today, from the text, "No man taketh this honor unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron." (Hebrews 5.4) He said: PASTOR RUSSELL PASTOR RUSSELL The Apostle's statement forming our text is made in connection with his discussion of the Mosan arrangement and the Anonic Order of priesthood. Christ, while on earth, could not be a priest, because there was already a priesthood ordained of God—the family of Aaron. No Israelite could take part in this priesthood except he were of Auron's lineage. To presume to take part in it without God's invitation would be a sin. To this day the Jews respect the Auronic priesthood, and no one could serve as a priest, unless he could show his genealogy back to Aaron. The Jews now do not know who belongs to the priestly family. Therefore they have no priest and no such service as a priest would render. In his Epistle to the Hebrews St. Paul calls attention to another priesthood. He declares that Jesus, who was not of the tribe of Levi, has become a Priest of a still higher Order than the Aaronic; moreover, that God had foretold our Lord's Priesthood long before. (Ipsalm 110:4.) His was a Divine appointment to this Priesthood. The call to be the Messiah and the highest of all priests was from the Father. Here we have another proof that our Lord Jesus was not the Father. He could have only such honors as the Father would give Him. God glorified Him in giving Him this great Priesthood. The Apostle quotes from the Prophet David respecting Jesus, "Thou art a Priest forever after the Order of Melchisedec." Melchisedec was a great personage who lived in Abraham's day. So great was he that, after Abraham had won a great victory and wished to show his appreciation of God's goodness, the patriarch came to Melchisedec, "king of Salem and priest of the Most High God," and offered tithes of all he had captured. (Genesis 14:18-20). Since the inferior offers gifts to the superior, Melchisedec must have been greater than Abraham, who in turn must have been greater than Aaron, his descendant. How much higher than Aaron: then, must he have been who was a type of Christ and of Christ's Priesthood! We see that our Heavenly Father has conferred a very great honor upon our Lord Jesus Christ, in appointing Him to be the world's great Redeemer, High Priest and King. He is the One through whom will come all the blessings upon the world that God has designed. But before God could recognize Him in that position, He must prove our Lord, az the Bible declares. "Worthy to Loose the Seals." Elsewhere St. Paul points out that our Lord Jesus left the glory which He had with the Father before the world was and took upon Him the form of a servant; and being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself still further—all that He might do the Father's will. His obedience to the Father finally led to the Cross. "Wherefore God bath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name, that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow." (Philippians 2:11.) In that exalted position He is the Antitype of Melchisede. This is corroborated by our Lord's own statement in the Fifth Chapter of the Revelation. There is pictured the Father, seated upon the Throne of Glory and holding in His right hand a Scroll, written within and without and sealed with seven seals. This Scroll represented the Divine Plan that God had purposed in Himself before the foundation of the world. What was in that Scroll nobody knew but Himself. The entire Plan was in God's own power; and, as the Apostle declares, before the foundation of the world the Father foreknew that our Lord would be the One worthy to open the Scroll. Throughout Heaven and earth the proclamation was made, "Who is worthy to boose the seals and to look therea?" Nobody came forward. Then St. John began to weep. After he had wept much, an angel touched him and said, "Weep not. The Lion of the tribe of Judah hath prevailed." The Lion of Judah was the Strong One of Judah, of which tribe God had prophetically declared that Messiah should come—of David's lineage. Here was the Strong One, competent to do the work—absolutely perfect. The difficulty with every other person in the world was that all were imperfect. But Jesus was sent into the world with all the qualities of perfection—in the image of God. When He became the Man Christ Jesus, He was qualified to fulfil the Divine Purpose. But He must be tested. No one herefore had proven worthy, because the conditions that God had attached to the honor were very stringent. God was looking for One competent to be entrusted with the charge of affairs—a Prime Minister, as it were. One who would fully represent Him in the Kingdom work and be associated with Him forever. For so high a position God had purposed that this One should be made partaker of the Divine nature. Immortality—"Life In Himself." The Scriptures tell us that God has immortality: I. e., He is not liable to death. All the angels are mortal; not that they are dying, but that they could die. A mortal is not a dying person, but one liable to death. God has supplies to continue existence to those who will be obedient and loyal to Him. To all such He is pleased to grant everlasting life. But He is immortal, not susceptible to death in any sense. He is not dependent upon food, water, air, rest or anything else. Jesus says, "As the Father hath life in Himself, so hath He given to the Son to have life in Himself." (John 5:26.) This is so high as to be beyond human comprehension. God purposed that this One whom He would so highly exalt should also have this quality of immortality—life in Himself. But first He must demonstrate His loyalty to the fullest degree. Jehovah determined that the first opportunity to payy worthiness of this position should be given to the Logos, "The Word," the One first created by the Father, Revelation 3:11; Colossians 1:15; John 1:13.3 Those who believe in the doctrine of the Trinity hold many very unreasonable views. They say that Jesus did not become a man, that He merely hid Himself in a human form for a time. Not so says the Bible. Our Trinitarian friends are driven to some such ridiculous position by claiming that Jesus was co-equal with the Father, a very unscriptural claim. The Son of God left the glory which He had with the Father, was made flesh and died antiquity. He was no ordinary man, a confidant man. We beheld in Him a glory that no other man had—a glory, of persecution, John 1:14; Hebrews 7:30. He became a man for the very purpose of carrying out the Father's Plan, while he could not then fully know. He knew that the first step of preparation was to be made a man. The next step was to present Himself for sacrifice. From those who interpreted the Law, He knew that there was nothing that He could do in His priestly office until He was thirty years old. When His thirtieth anniversary came, He presented Himself to the Father in consecration and was baptized by John. "The Heavens Were Opened to Him." "The Heavens Were Opened to Him." There, at Jordan, the Father granted the Son the opening of His eyes of understanding. There He became the slain Lamb. At the very moment He made His concession at Jordan He died, so far as His covenant with God was concerned. And so it is with His followers. The very moment we make our covenant with God, we are dead indeed to sin and to all earthly interests. Our death dates, not from the time we actually die, but from the time we give up our will. So God there counted Jesus dead. He was the sacrificial Lamb. To Him was given the right to open the Scroll. So we read that at His baptism, when the Holy Spirit descended upon our Lord, "the Heavens [the higher things] were opened unto Him." (Matthew 2:16). The deeper things of God's Plan became open to His mind. Never before had He seen the meaning of these things. They were hidden from Him, as from any natural man. The natural man—whether perfect or imperfect, "to ceiveth not the things of the Spirit of God; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." (1 Corinthians 2:14). Jesus became a perfect natural man, and as such He gave all that He had in consolation. Then God begat Him of the Holy Spirit to the new nature. From the moment of spirit-begetting, old things passed away and all things became new. After Jesus had received the Holy Spirit, He went immediately into the wilderness for forty days. During that time He was a Bible Student, thinking over the Scriptures, which from boyhood He had heard read in the synagogue. Having now received the illumination of the Holy Spirit, He could understand what was meant by the manna in the wilderness, by the serpent erected upon the pole, by the bullock of the Atonement Day sacrifices and by the Passover Lamb. The whole Plan of God for human salvation was opened to Him. He had "loosed the seven seals." By that time He fully understood all that He was to suffer. He saw that He was to give up His life sacrificially, that He was to be crucified. Then, after all the stress of Bible study for forty days without food, the Devil came and tempted Him. This was the opportunity, in His weakened physical condition, for the Adversary to present a temptation. But our Lord withstood all of Satan's suggestions, and finally the Devil left Him. We have no record that Satan ever again tried to tempt our Lord. God thoroughly proved the One who was to be the great Antitype of Melchisede, the Priest upon His Throne, partaker of the Divine nature. And Jesus demonstrated His worthiness, not only during those forty days in the wilderness, but during the follow- ing three and a half years, clear down to Calvary—even to the death of the Cross. Now He is the highly exalted One, far above angels, principalities, powers and every name that is named. He is at [the Father's right hand—the chief plate of favor. Our Lord Jesus is God's great Prime Minister—next to the Father Himself. Further Contents of the Scroll. But the Scroll in God's hand contained more than this. It showed that the Father, who had called the Lord Jesus, had called Him to be the Head over a Church, which is His Body. Nineteen hundred years before the Messianic Kingdom was due to be set up, God sent Jesus into the world that He might open up the way and that Jews and Gentiles might come in and participate with Jesus, first in the tests and afterwards in the honor. In the Book it is written that not only a bullock, but also a Lord's goat must be offered 'in sacrifice on the Atonement Day. Thus the Church are to be sharers in the sufferings of Christ and in the glory to follow.—Hebrews 13:11-13. So all the work of this Gospel Age has been with a view to perfecting this company. First the call went to such Jews as were ready, that these might be brought into the Church, to be of the Spiritual Seed of Abraham. But there were not enough of them; and so the door was thrown open to the Gentiles, that as many of them as desired might come in and be fellow-heirs with the Jews. All these are to be members of the Body of the great antitypical Priest and King, "after the order of Melbiedec." God is not calling merely the class that is anxious to come to Him. The Apostle speaks of some who were feeling after God, if haply they might find Him. (Aets 17:27.) Now there is only one way to come to Him, and that way is by membership in the Body of Christ. Those who will walk in this narrow way shall become joint-heirs with Christ. Some say, "I think that I will wait a little while." They are not altogether ready to sacrifice—to give up all to the Lord. To such the Lord says, "Very well." Jesus said to some in His day, "Sit down and count the cost." It is better that one should not put his hand to the plow, than that he should do so, and then look back and wish that he was not there. "If any man will come after Me [be My disciple], let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow Me." So then, dear friends, we see the conditions. And whatever the Father's providence may be for us, we wish to have, Jesus did not specify what was to come to Him. The Father had specified our Lord's experiences before the foundation of the world. As for you and for me, our part is to do the Father's will—to drink whatever cup the Father shall pour for us. He does not give us the honor of drinking so great a cup as our Savior drank, however. "Gather Together My Saints Unite Me." For each consecrated child of God the great question is, "Am I walking in the steps of Jesus?" Have we entered into a Covenant with God, as our Lord did? Faithful is He who has called us. If we fail to get the great prize of our High Calling, the fault will be ours alone. God is ready to do for us as He was ready to do for Jesus. Now to come back to the statement, "No man taketh this honor unto himself, but he that is called of God." Did we call ourselves? No, indeed! How did we come to a knowledge of the Truth? Thank God, we have had the ears to hear His Message! Thank God that this privilege came to us—that we were called of God! To what were we called? Hear the Call that applies to Jesus and to all His disciples—the Call to which Jesus responded, and to which you and I are to respond. It reads, "Gather My saints together unto Me; those that have made a Covenant with Me by sacrifice." (Psalm 50.5). By nature we were sinners, like all the fallen race of Adam. But even as sinners we may have been trying to do our best. Then the Message reached us, speaking peace through Jesus Christ, a Message telling us that if we gave ourselves to God we would be forgiven our sins, begotten of the Holy Spirit and accepted into God's family. God's arrangement is that our Lord Jesus is to sanctify and make saints those who have taken these steps. He will impute of His merit to such, to make up for their natural imperfection. To give them of that merit would make them perfect human beings. To impute the merit is to give them a credit on God's account books. God has arranged that nothing shall come to His altar except that which is without blemish. We cannot come, therefore, except as our Lord Jesus shall make up wherein we are short of perfection. Christ has proposed to do this, in order that you and I may give acceptable sacrifices through Him. Is that not a blessed arrangement? It is made to permit us to share in the sufferings of Christ that by and by we may share in His glories. (2 Timothy 2:11, 12). All that He has He will share with His faithful Church, and by way of encouraging us He says that He will make all things work together for our good.—Romans 8:28. Our Father will bless our trials and difficulties. He will not permit us to be tuffed above that we are able; with every temptation He will provide a way of escape. (1 Corinthians 10:13.) I trust that we all shall be of one mind to accept this wonderful provision of God's grace, that we may be fully accepted members of this great Melchildee Priesthood, of which our Lord Jesus is the Head. As soon as the last members of this Order are completed, the entire number—144,000—will stand with the Lamb upon Mount Zion, having His Father's name written in their for heads.—Revelation 14:1-5. ELIJAH'S RETURN AND VICTORY Ellijah's Experiences Typical—King Ahab and Queen Jezebel Also Types. The Three and a Half Years' Drouth Prefigured Twelve Hundred and Sixty Years of Spiritual Drouth. ELIJAH was a type of the Church of Christ. The Revelation (2:20-25; 18:7) pictures Queen Jezebel as representing a great religious system of this Gospel Age, which did violence to the Truth. King Ahab represented worldly governments claiming to be Christ's kingdoms. Queen Jezebel typified a false Church system united to these earthly systems; whereas the true virgin Church of Christ was to remain faithful to her Lord, awaiting His Second Coming, when her marriage to Him was to be accomplished. Although the true Church is indeed symbolized by a woman, it is also represented by a man, when the picture Although the two symbolized by a wo resented by a man includes the Lord Jesus Christ, Head of the Church. In Revelation the three and a half years of Elijah's experiences are stated in symbolic language - forty-two months - 129 days. (Revelation 11.2; 12.6; 14.1; 13.5). This time is symbolic, each day representing a lit- ```markdown ``` eral year, the whole period 1200 years. Some Bible scholars have applied this as beginning in 530 A. D. and ending in 1799. As Curing Elijah's biding in the wilderness there was no rain, so in the Church's experiences there, was a spiritual drouth for 1200 years. As just before the drouth in Israel ended there was a great contest (related in our lesson with the victory on the Lord's side, so a great contest took place between Catholicism and Protestantism in the period styled the Reformation. The Revelation pictures the Church as a woman driven into the wilderness—not to general view. The woman corresponds in the type to Elijah hidden from the king, the queen and the prophets of Baan. As Elijah was fed in the wilderness, so the true Church, secluded from general view, was spiritually fed during the twelve hundred and sixty years of famine. After emerging from the wilderness condition, the Elijah class did a very courageous work. Spiritual refreshment came abundantly. For a time it looked as though Queen Jezebel had been vanquished, as though the slaying of her prophets with the Sword of Truth had exalted God's Word and the true Church. However, the Elijah class again fled from Jezebel. Why Deprived of Rain. Many express surprise that God's Word is telling a beautiful Message of Divine Wisdom, Justice, Love and Power. "How," they say, "is it possible to have so much more light on God's Word than had equally zealous Bible students of the past?" The twelve hundred and sixty years of spiritual drouth are the explanation. About 300 A.D. Christian bishops began to claim Apostolic power and to style themselves Apostolic Bishops. The claim is still made that the bishops of the Church of Rome, of the Church of England, etc., are of equal authority with the Twelve Apostles. The Bible is to the contrary—that the Twelve Apostles selected by Jesus were to be the only foundations of the Church. This gradual exaltation of the bishops was given great force by the Emperor Constantine's action in calling for a Church Council at Nice, in 325 A. D. The Council, under the Emperor's guidance, produced the Nicene Creed as representing the faith of God's people. Additions to the creed were made later on by the bishops. The endorsement of these creeds implied that the bishops mark The Prophet Elipah. A. D. The Council, under the Emperor's guidance, produced the Nicene Creed as representing the faith of God's people. Additions to the creed were made later on by the bishops. The endorsement of these creeds implied that the bishops making them had the authority, the Divine revelation for the work. The doctrine of Apostolic Succession was subsequently made a feature of the creeds. For twelve centuries there was practically no more Bible study; the Apostolic Bishops had formulated the creeds as proper statements of true faith. Twelve centuries after the first expression by the so-called Apostolic Bishops bring us to 1526, when printing had become common. In that year Tyndale published his translation of the New Testament in Germany, because of the opposition of the English clergy, and imported it into London, where the people began to purchase it. Meantime, the Germans were learning something of the New Testament teachings from Luther and his associates. But the English bishops bought up the entire edition of Tyndale's New Testament, and burned the books. Several other translations were subsequently brought out. Finally the bishops gave the people the Bible, but warned them against any construction different from the creeds—threatening them with eternal torture. Later, the Rotten Catholics produced the Dotay Bible. This was given to the people with similar threatenings. The conflict proceeded until 1720, when the Bible came into great prominence.
