PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac). Now mebble you don't know it, but Harry Reynolds, when it comes to descriptive powers angl no slouch. Harry has a vivid imagination. He was telling me some time ago about a dark-hued wedding down in 'Goate Alley, and here's the way Harry doped it out." The bride and groom presented a regal spectacle, never equaled since the proud Clopetra sailed down the perfumed, lotus-bearing Nile in her gilded pageant to meet Marck Anthony, while all the world stood agape at the unheard of triumph. To describe the bride's costume beggare the English language or even Tom Jones' language; and imagination, faint and feeble before the herculean task. She was gorgeously attired in a calico dress, and a pair of lace curtains floated like a dream about her nymph-like figure, while a near-diamond pin, about the size of a devilled crab, fastened about two yards of yellow cheese cloth at her swanlike throat. The groom wore a pair of "take-home-for-48" duck trousers, imported direct from Hechtz on ten cents weekly payments, and a beautiful blue-fannel shirt worth 50 cents in the open market, and the front of his shirt was decorated with a big, near-diamond studded horseshoe imported from Kress' ten cent store. His top piece was snug under a silk tile that looked as if it had been sneaked out of the National Museum, and his feet were incased in a pair of patent leather shoes what pinched at every point where they touched his feet. The guests were dressed accordingly." When Harry got off this, there was nothin' to do but that every body in the bunch had to set 'em up to Harry —"Lighthorse" Harry Reynolds, the prince of good fellows, and a descriptive artist what would make Vic Hugo, were he living today, look like a copper cent along with a $20 gold piece. Well the opening of the schools got a way on the scheduled time, but without Little Lord Fauntelroy in the saddle. This is the first time in about nine years that Little Lord Fauntelroy wasn't in the saddle at the tap of the bell. And I'm easing it over to you that the chances are 100 to 1 that he never will be in the saddle again. I doubt very much if his health will ever permit him to again assay the role of boss. You know I said once before that I sympatifize with him in his affliction, and that aint no just mere talk either. Whether or not he ever gets to be the chief Poo Bah in the schools, I would like to see him get well and on his feet again. I just cant gloate over no feller's misfortune, even though he has handed me a cartload of double dealing. Now I never had occasion to mix up with Little Lord Fauntelroy, cause I had no members of my family in the schools are hopin' for a place in the schools, and not bein' a member of dicty society. I never got an invite to his house, like Dick Thompson, Jim Cobb, Judge Terrell, Bill Houston and the rest of them there floral bulbs in society. But I've known him ever since he knew himself. If he didn't make a failure, of managing the schools he sure did make a mess of trouble, for himself and lots of other coal-tar, complexioned individuals. However that may be, I'm just pulling that he get well, strong and hearty, and when he does get well well I hopin' some other Harvard-bumped individual, or some feller from some other brain factory, will be made Assistant Superintendent. I aint got no spacial, candidate. Prof. Montgomery, Prof. Ed Williams, Prof. Weatherless, Wash Woods, or anybody will suit me, cause I aint got no kiddies to even send to school. If I can, get a second, I move that Dick Thompson and Finley Wilson be appointed a committee, of two to select the next Assistant Superintendent, providin' the successful man agrees to employ them as press agent for him, at about ten or twelve dollars per, and that "per" means per week. Do I get a second? There bein' no second to the motion, I declare the motion lost, if that's accordin' to Hoyle. I've been just a little slow about sayin' much about the raiding of the Monticello club, cause I use to drop down there on a hot Sunday evening to get a cold bottle and a deviled crab, and I use to meet a lot of prosociety gents what belong to the Muclage Club, and them there recherche dancing clubs, and I was just a little afraid to incriminate them. Now if I should poke my head in the Army and Navy Club, or the Metropolitan Club, where they get 25 cents for an ordinary Haig & Haig highball what I get down to the Monticello for fifteen cents on a tab, they'd rush me off to the police station, and then, after the hearing, cart me over to St. Elizabeth. The Monticello was just a club for us $720, $900 and $1,200 boys what have to split our little stipends up with the folks at home. The Metropolitan and the Army, and Navy clubs is for them there millionaires and retired old army and navy officers what are a drug on the market. The only difference between the two is one gets ten cents for a bottle of beer while the other gets 15 cents for a mixed drink and the other gets 25. One is furnished with a lot of junk that wouldn't bring $4.13 down at Sloan's, while the other two clubs is chucked full of brie-a-brac, pronounced "brah-brah" in highfalutin society, what Moses gets Paris for. Now if they are goin' to let the Army & Navy and the Metropolitan clubs and the Cosmos Club, go right along gettin' 15 and 25 cents for 10 and 15 cents drinks, I can figure out why we smokes oughtn't to have a peek in at the Monticello where we can get deviled crabs for a jitney, and Faust for 10 cents, and red herrings for a nickle, and an awful headache for fifty cents. Down at the Metropolitan and the Army & Navy clubs if a feller wants an awful headache; and a day-after seal-brown taste in his mouth it will cost him anywhere from $10 to $500, while you can get the whole thing, headache and seal-brown taste, down at the Monticello for four bits. Then the Monticello occasionally lets one of them "one-gallus" boys from down in Bloodville what's just hungery for a cold bottle when the sun is hittin' the trail at about 95 in the shade, if such fellers act halfway decent. A workin' man ain't got no more chance of gettin' a drink or a deviled crab down at the Army & Navy or Metropolitan Club than Judge Terrell has of gettin' back safe from a tour through Texas. Personally, I'm again clubs, but if.clubs is allowed why Ham ought to have one with about $4.13 cents worth of furniture in it the same as them millionairs and retired grouchy old army and navy officers whose clubs have about $10,000 worth of "brah-brah" in them. Just lay off the Monticello, wont you please? I see my friend Maxfield will continue to write poetry. After this deluge, what next? NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS. A Thought for the Week.—Do you know that if 100 additional Negroes would patronize any one of our Negro enterprises and spend only 25 cents apiece a week with him, in a year he would make $1,300? Suppose 500 Negroes would patronize him, in a short time his or her "business would increase so rapidly, that they would have to take on more help. Maybe then your son or daughter might be taken out of the field or kitchen to fill the position.—Royal Messenger. A successful Agricultural Fair has been held by the colored farmers at Tasley, Va.

PRODIGIOUS COST OF EUROPEAN WAR One Year Has Cost More Than Estimated Value of All Property of United States West of Mississippi. Would Pay National Debts of All Nations. Philadelphia.—Rev. Dr. J. Henry Smythe, editor, author, traveler, lecturer, chancellor of the American university, Tennessee, two years ago last February made the following startling prophecy while speaking at Knoxville: "One hundred years or more ago Napoleon, in the fiery flush of manhood's morning, was master of all France. The Egyptian and the Austrian campaigns were over. Russia was invaded. England was threatened. Spain was subjugated. "The whole continent of Europe was prostrate and paralyzed. Millions of armed men were in the field, and conflict and carriage raged from the Tiber to the Thames. But Nelson pounded Napoleon on the sea, and Wellington pounded him upon the land, and together they pounded him to pieces. Elba and Waterloo were but the blood stained stepping stones to St. Helena. "If you will stand with me tonight at the hinges of history and look along the sky line of current events you will see that war is simmering in every arsenal of Europe and every wave that breaks upon the shore is red, with blood. Yet Tientsin and Port Arthur, Havana harbor and Manila bay were but the shifting scenery, moved by the hidden hand of God, in the awful and unending tragedy of time." "We estimate the cash cost of the European war to Aug. 1, 1915, at $17,000,000,000" says Dr. Smythe, "while other known losses will amount up to make a grand total of $46,000,000,000. No one can have even the faintest conception of what $16,000,000,000 may be. It is four times all the coin in the world. If this sum were measured out in twenty dollar gold pieces and they were placed side by side on the railway track, on each rail, they would cover with gold every line from New York to the Pacific ocean, the two Canadian lines included. There would be enough left over to cover each rail of the Siberian railway from Vladivostok to Petrograd. There would still remain sufficient to rehabilitate Belgium and to buy the whole of Turkey, at her own valuation, wiping her finally and forever from the map. "Or we may figure in some other fashion. The average workingman in America earns $518 per year. It would take $0,000,000 years" work to pay the cost of the war up to date, or $0,000,000 American laborers might pay it off in one year if all their living expenses were paid. "The cost of a year of the great war is a little more than the estimated value of all the property of the United States west of the Mississippi river. It is nearly equal to the total value of all the property in Germany, $18,000,000,000, as estimated in 1906. The whole Russian empire, $35,000,000, could have been bought for a less sum before the war began. It could be had, on a spot cash sale, more cheaply now. This sum would have paid for all the property in Italy, $13,000,000,000; Japan, $10,000,000,000; Holland, $5,000,000,000; Belgium, $1,000,000,000; Spain, $6,000,000,000; and Portugal, $2,500,000,000. It is three times the entire yearly earnings in wages and salaries of the people of the United States, $15,500,000,000. "The first year's cost of this war would pay the national debts of all the nations in the world at the time, the war broke out. If all the farms, farming lands and factories in the United States were wiped out of existence the cost of this war would more than replace them. If all the personal and real property of half our nation were destroyed or if an earthquake of incredible dimensions should shake down every house from the Atlantic to the Pacific the waste would be less than that involved in this war up to date. And such an elemental catastrophe would leave behind it no costly legacy of hate. "And then the aftermath—goal God, the aftermath!" ARE WED IN LOCKUP CELL.

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. Let every patriotic colored American send for one or all of the 38 historical charts.

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 worst. 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.

JACOBS' PHARMACY ATLANTA 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. 18 WASHINGTON, D. C.; SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1915 A Monument to the Colored People— The Editor Makes His First Visit With Mr. Joseph H. Triggs—His First-Visit Since Its Establishment. Accompanied by Mr. Joseph H. Triggs, the Editor of The Bee paid a visit to the great Normal School of which that matchless and distinguished educator, Dr. Lucy E. Moten, is its principal. On being ushered into the principal's office by a young lady who happened to be passing through the hall, the principal was seated at her desk busily engaged with looking over some important documents, but not too busy to give her intruders an agreeable and cordial greeting. After discussing and completing the business which was the occasion for the call visits were made through the entire building. It was not only a revelation but an inspiration. Every room in this great structure was visited. While the atmosphere has improved, The Bee could not help from inhaling the scent of that fatal automobile trip. Many of the teachers were in their rooms and doing their work, with the exception of Miss. Mary Dickerson, who is suffering from nervous prostration. Teaching in her place is a very accomplished and cultured lady, a graduate of the Normal School, who is giving entire satisfaction. The Bee and associates went to the room of Miss Jesse Wormley, but found her out, but later saw her in the gallery of the great, assembly hall, whose appearance indicated the effects of last spring's accident. She was seen soon after, however, teaching her punis. Going from the atmosphere of that section, the visitors were escorted to the upper floors, where they saw the teacher of music, Miss Johnson. Going into another room they greeted that scholar, Prof. Clark, who has under him about 50 or 60 little tots and who seems to have entire control over them. This was a most interesting sight. Going from there to the room of Miss Ada Hunt, who no doubt has the most complete and the fullest school of any teacher in the building. Miss Hunt has always been a genius. The next kindergarten section school visited was that of Miss Davis, who is also one of the most pleasing and agreeable teachers in the building. On observation of the methods taught by this lady convinced the visitors that lady knew her business. The next room entered was that of that eminent school teacher and educator, Prof. Thomas. He is the genius of this great school, the encyclopedia of the institution and authority on education. A man like this at the head of the colored schools, with assistants like Prof. Clark. Prof Walker, Prof. Montgomery and others of like characters would make the colored schools factors indeed and in fact. Leaving the room of this genius, the next call was made to the studio in which that prince of painters holds forth and the man who can paint a wink from the eye of a fly. A look at the back view of the stage of the auditorium will convince any one that Prof. Hunster is the master of his profession. He was putting the finishing touches on one of his paintings for this school. In speaking of Prof. Hunster, The Bee cannot help from commending him for his great work and genius. Lovers of fine art must give him credit, because he deserves it. Every student under him gains knowledge. He knows how, to impart, and if you have no imaginative ability, it is no fault of his. Hastily observing the master hand and mind that is responsible for the erection of this great edifice, the visitors were directed next to the roof promenade. The Lower Floor. The visitors went next to the lower floor where the lockers, baths and other conveniences were. Every pupil, male and female, has an individual locker. The sanitary condition of this floor and every department are above criticism. You will not find a speck of dust anywhere. The Janitor Service. There are four or five janitors and the rules of conduct are written for each. The system is the most perfect that can be found in any school or public institution. They all know what their duties are and they execute them. It is indeed an inspiration to go through this great Normal School and talk to its principal and many of the teachers. Dr. Thurston and the president of the board of education and other members of the board knew what they were doing when they fought so manfully for the vindication of Dr. Moten. To write a concise history and description of this monument to the colored people would take more time and space. The third has not been told, but next week The Bee will publish a full description of this building and its operation. The Bee could not close this article without commending the teacher in domestic science. She is a polished and highly cultured teacher. Miss Turner, the physical culture teacher, also deserves special mention. The foregoing is only a brief mention of the Editor's visit to the Colored Normal School. After leaving Normal School No. 2, the visitors made their way to the Franklin to see Dr. Thurston, but his office hours for visitors are from 3 to 5, hence a return call had to be made. In company with Hon. John D. Connor of Tennessee, but now a citizen of this city, Mr. Trigg and the Editor were ushered into the office of the superintendent, Dr. Thurston, from whom is hard to get the word MRS. HELEN CURTIS. CHARLES BURROUGHS. MRS. DORA COLE NORMAN. yes until he investigates. He is a very careful man in some things and a very slow one in other things. One would think he was from Missouri, but he is not. He is an adept in asking questions and an expert evader, but a genial interviewer. He will not do or permit a wrong if he knows it. Hence he is a safe man. The recent rule issued concerning teachers is rather drastic and unpopular as the Bee said last week, and it is hoped that it will be modified. (To be continued in next issue.)

Southern Motion Picture Company Greatly Encouraged at Success of Venture—Nearly Four Thousand Present First Two Nights. (Staff Correspondence). Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 20.—Moving picture plays showing the negro race as intelligent, refined characters have come to stay. This was demonstrated here last week when the photo-play, "When True Love Wins," was presented to packed houses at the Champion Theatre. The audience was appreciative and showed most emphatically that the negro, by reason of his advancement, will in the future demand high class pictures in which members of the race participate, and will not tolerate the plays of this kind which are so common now a adys, in which the race is ridiculed "When True Love Wins" was written by Mr Isaac Fisher, the celebrated Tuskegee Institute essayist, and he has so skillfully constructed his story that only the highest human characteristics and impulses are portrayed. He has woven his plot around the love affairs of Thelma Drayton. Possessing those maidenly charms which compel the admiration of the young people of her circle, Thelma Drayton finds herself surrounded with many suitors, three of whom are very desirable young men. As the action of the play progresses, Thelma frequently finds herself unable to make a definite choice in her own mind between these three young men; as each one in turn reveals some hidden strength of character which appeal to her. In the climax there is a strong scene in which the hero has to choose between the opportunity to win Thelma and to do his duty to his country. To the surprise of Thelma he states positively that to him love of country precedes love of sweet-heart and he prepares to take up arms to defend his country. The very thought of parting with him pains her very keenly, and she decides that after all she loves the hero. Of course, there is a happy ending and a good moral. Not only has the author supplied thrills, action, and excitement, but the producers were careful to select the best local talent in Birmingham, and many of the scenes are staged in some of the homes and business enterprises of the best colored people of the city. One cannot witness this play without experiencing a feeling of deeper respect for his race, and you find yourself wondering why this type of play has not been put on before. When interviewed at his office in the Lyric Theatre Building, Mr. D. B. Griswold, manager of the Southern Motion Picture Company 'said: "I was very proud of the reception accorded our play, but it only verifies our belief in the race pride of the colored people. I have long since been convinced that the better class of the colored people would soon get tired of always seeing the race shown on the screen either in a scrap or in a crap game, and it was for this reason that we asked Mr. Fisher to write this play in which the better side of the race could be presented. You can say WASHINGTON, D.C.; SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1915 play on in some nine hundred or more for me that we are going to put this houses catering to colored people; and if the colored people decide that they prefer these high class plays to the common stuff now shown, we shall be pleased to present them; and they will be good ones, too. So far, the experiment has proven very satisfactory to us." Three of the Directors of the Pageant, "The Star of Ethiopia."

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR. Twenty-seventh International Convention—Ten Thousand Delegates Present—Great Meeting of Representatives. In Chicago, from July 7-12, of this year, was held the great Fifth World's and Twenty-seventh International Christian Endeavor Convention. Ten thousand one hundred and seventy-five delegates were present from all parts of the United States and many foreign countries. The District of Columbia was ably represented for the Colored societies of the district sent eleven delegates, while only seven were sent as representatives of the other race. Many interesting talks were heard and many pleasant social gatherings were given from time to time. Echoes of this magnificent Convention were heard at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church Friday night, September 24, conducted by the Allen Christian Endeavor League. Among the many things which impressed the delegates to that meeting was the utter lack of prejudice, not only on the part of those attending this gathering, but also on the part of the Chicagoans. Everywhere the spirit of universal brotherhood was demonstrated in no small degree. It made one feel, as though truly, the spirit of the Christ was at work leavening the hearts of mankind. The restaurants, drug stores, and businesses of all kinds were open to all, irrespective of color of skin or texture of hair. Many remarkable statements were made by prominent men of the other race, some of which are worthy of mention. Dr. Ira T. Landrith, president of a large college in Nashville, Tenn., said three important things, namely, first, "The world today is not suffering so much from the violence of the wicked as it is from the indolence of the upright." Second, "In 1861, you Northerners came down in the South, without our invitation and shot/slavery out of us; now, if you don't watch out, we Southerners are going to come up North and vote the liquor traffic out of you Northerners." Third, "Race prejudice is the child of Sin and Ignorance." Dr. Shaw, an officer of the United Society of G. E., mentioned how harmoniously the white and black missionaries were working together in Africa, and hoped for the day to soon come when the same conditions would prevail in this country. The slogan of the 1911 convention was emphasized strongly, "A Saloonless Nation by 1920," and it is now more feasible than ever, for 19 states have already gone dry, and the Christian, Endeavor organizations all over the country have taken active part in the work. All of the above mentioned societies have taken a determined stand to aid in this great movement, and invite others to join them. Dr. Julian C. Caldwell, Secretary of the A. C. E. L., of the A. M. E. connection, made an excellent impression upon that great body, not only through his noble and mainly bearing but also through the splendid work he has done during the last two years. As a result the United Society has elected two more. Colored trustees of the Methodist connection in the person of Bishop Flipper and Rev. Peck. Refreshments were served free to all and a social hour was enjoyed in the lecture room of the church after the conclusion of the program. The Allen C. E. League meets every Sunday at 6 o'clock and visitors are cordially invited to attend. Further echoes of this great convention will be given at various meetings throughout the entire year.

Collins of Bradford County, Pennsylvania, and a member of the John S. Melvin Post of Bradford, Pa., and who rendered distinguished service in the late war of the rebellion, went to the Plaza hotel near the Union Station Tuesday to see a white comrade. While standing in the lobby talking, some member of the hotel staff saw him and ordered him to leave. Mr. Collins paid no attention to him, while he was giving the order of removal, but after he finished talking he informed the impolite gentleman that he had finished talking and now he would leave, but he would not before. Mr. Collins is one of the best known and highly cultured men in Bradford County, who served his country and is respected by the best people in his state, regardless of color. His daughter, Miss Collins, on whom he called while here, is connected with the National Benefit Association. He left for his home Thursday evening. Northwest Cafe. Mr. W. W. Martin, proprietor of the Northwest Cafe, has opened a first class place, where families are served by polite waiters, and where food is cooked first class. 1907 Twelfth street northwest. (By the Sage of the Potomac). Now mebble you don't know it, but Harry Reynolds, when it comes to descriptive powers ant no slouch. Harry has a vivid imagination. He was a telling me some time. ago about a dark-hued wedding down in 'Goate Alley, and here's the way Harry doped it out': "The bride and groom presented a regal spectacle, never equaled since the proud Clopatra sailed down the perfumed, lotus-bearing Nile in her gilded pageant to meet Marck Anthony, while all the world stood agape at the unheard of triumph. To describe the bride's costume beguile the English language or even Tom Jones' language; and imagination, faint and feeble before the herculean task. She was gorgeously attired in a calico dress, and a pair of lace curtains floated like a dream about her nymph-like figure, while a near-diamond pin, about the figure of a deviled crab, fastened about two yards of yellow cheese cloth at her swanlike throat. The groom wore a pair of 'take-home-for-48' duck trousers, imported direct from Hecht's on ten cents weekly payments, and a beautiful blue-fannel shirt worth 50 cents in the open market, and the front of his shirt was decorated with a big, near-diamond studded horseshoe imported from Kress' ten cent store. His top piece was snug under a silk store that looked as if it had been sneaked out of the National Museum, and his feet were incased in a pair of patent leather shoes what pinched at every point where they touched his feet. The guests were dressed accordingly." When Harry got off this, there was nothin' to do but that every body in the bunch had to set 'em up to Harry — "Lighthorse" Harry Reynolds, the prince of good fellows, and a descriptive artist what would make Vic Hugo, were he living today, look like a copper cent along with a $20 gold piece. Well the opening of the schools got a way on the scheduled time, but without Little Lord Fauntleroy in the saddle. This is the first time in about nine years that Little Lord Fauntleroy wasn't in the saddle at the tap of the bell, and I'm easing it over to you that the chances are 100 to 1 that he never will be in the saddle again. I doubt very much if his health will ever permit him to again assay the role of boss. You know I said once before that I sympathetize with him in his affliction, and that aint no just mere talk either. Whether or not he ever gets to the chief Poo Bah in the schools, I would like to see him get well and on his feet again. I just glove on no feller's misfortune, even though he has handed me a cartellod of double dealing. Now I never had occasion to mix up with Little Lord Fauntleroy, cause I had no members of my family in the schools are hopin' for a place in the schools, and not bain' a member of decty society I never got an invite to his school, like Dick Thompson, Jim Cobb, Judge Terrell, Bill Houston and the rest of them there floral bulbs in society. But I've known him ever since he knew himself. If he ever make a failure of managing the schools he sure did make a mess of trouble for himself and lots of other coal-tar complexioned individuals. However that may be, I'm just pulling that he get well, strong and healthy, and when he does get well I'm hopin' some other Harvard-bumped individual, or some feller from some other brain factory, will be made Assistant Superintendent, aaint got no special candidate. Prof. Bonggomery, Prof. Ed Williams, Prof. Weatherless, Wash Woods, or anybody will suit me, cause I aint got no kiddies to even send to school. If I can, get a second, I move that Dick Thompson and Finley Wilson be appointed a committee, of two to select the next Assistant Superintendent, providin' the successful man agrees to employ them as, press agent for him, at about ten or twelve dollars per, and that "per" means per week. Do I get a second? There bein' no second to the motion. I declare the motion lost, if that's accordio to Hoyle. I've been just a little slow about sayin' much about the raiding of the Monticello club, cause I use to drop down there on a hot Sunday evening to get a cold bottle and a deviled crab, and I use to meet a lot of prosciery gents what belong to the Muclage Club, and them, there recherche dancing clubs, and I was just a little afraid to hcrliminate them. Now if I should poke my head in the Army and Navy Club, or the Metropolitan Club, where they get 25 cents for an ordinary Haig & Haig highballl what I get down to the Monticello for fifteen cents on a tab, they'd rush me off to the police station, and then, after the hearing, cart me over to St. Elizabeth. The Monticello was just a club for us $720, $900 and $1,200 boys what have to split our little stipends up with the folks at home. The Metropolitan and the Army, and Navy clubs is for them there millionaires and retired old army and navy officers what are a drug on the market. The only difference between the two is one gets ten cents for a bottle of beer while the other gets 15 cents for a mixed drink and the other gets 25. One is furnished with a lot of junk that wouldn't bring $4.13 down at Sloan's, while the other two clubs is chucked full of brig-a-brac, pronounced "brah-brah" in highalfun society, what Moses gets Paris prices for. Now if they are goin' to let the Army & Navy and the Metropolitan clubs and the Cosmos Club, go right along gettin' 15 and 25 cents for 10 and 15 cents drinks, I cant figure out why we smokes oughtn' to have a peek in at the Monticello where we can get deviled crabs for a jitney, and Faust for 10 cents, and red herrings for a nickle, and an awful headache for fifty cents. Down at the Metropolitan and the Army & Navy clubs if a feller wants an awful headache and a day-after seal-brown taste in his mouth it will cost him anywhere from $10 to $500, while you can get the whole thing, headache and seal-brown taste, down at the Monticello for four bits. Then the Monticello occasionally lets one of them "one-gallus" boys from down in Bloodville what's just hungry for a cold bottle when the sun is hitttin' the trail at about 95 in the shade, if such fellers act halfway decent. A workin' man aint got no more chance of gettin' a drink or a deviled crab down at the Army & Navy or Metropolitan Club than Judge Torrell has of gettin' back safe from a tour through Texas. Personally, I'm agin clubs, but if.clubs is allowed why Ham ought to have one with about $4.13 cents worth of furniture in it the same as them millionairs and retired grouchy old army and navy officers whose clubs have about $10,000 worth of "brah-brah" in them. Just lay off the Monticello, wont you please? I see my friend Maxfield will continue to write poetry. After this deluge, what next? NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS. A Thought for the Week.-Do you know that if 100 additional Negroes would patronize any one of our Negro enterprises and spend only 25 cents aplice a week with him, in a year he would make $1,300?

PRODIGIOUS COST OF EUROPEAN WAR One Year Has Cost More Than Estimated Value of All Property of United States West of Mississippi. Would Pay National Debts of All Nations. Philadelphia.—Rev. Dr. J. Henry Smythe, editor, author, traveler, lecturer, chancellor of the American university, Tennessee, two years ago last February made the following startling prophecy while speaking at Knoxville: "One hundred years or more ago Napoleon, in the fiery flush of manhood's morning, was master of all France. The Egyptian, and the Austrian campaigns were over. Russia was invaded. England was threatened. Spain was subjugated. "The whole continent of Europe was prostrate and paralyzed. Millions of armed men were in the field, and conflict and carriage raged from the Tiber to the Thames. But Nelson pounded Napoleon on the sea, and Wellington pounded him upon the land, and together they pounded him to pieces. Elba and Waterloo were but the blood stained stepping stones to St. Helena. "If you will stand with me tonight at the hinges of history and look along the sky line of current events you will see that war is slimmering in every arsenal of Europe and every wave that breaks upon the shore is, red with blood. Yet, Tientsin and Port Arthur, Havana harbor and Manila bay were but the shifting scenery, moved by the hidden hand of God, in the awful and unending tragedy of time." "We estimate the cash cost of the European war to August 1, 1915, at $17,000,000,000;" says Dr. Smythe, "while other known losses will amount up to make a grand total of $46,000,000,000. No one can have even the faintest conception of what $46,000,000,000 may be. It is four times all the coin in the world. If this sum were measured out in twenty dollar gold pieces and they were placed side by side on the railway track, on each rail, they would cover with gold every line from New York to the Pacific ocean, the two Canadian lines included. There would be enough left over to cover each rail of the Silverian railway from Vladivostok to Petrograd. There would still remain sufficient to rehabilitate Belgium and to buy the whole of Turkey, at her own valuation, wilping her finally and forever from the map. "Or we may figure in some other fashion. The average workingman in American earns $518 per year. It would take 50,000,000 years' work to pay the cost of the war up to date, or 50,000,000 American laborers might pay it off in one year if all their living expenses were paid. "The cost of a year of the great war is a little more than the estimated value of all the property of the United States west of the Mississippi river. It is nearly equal to the total value of all the property in Germany, $48,000,000,000, as estimated in 1906. The whole Russian empire, $35,000,000,000, could have been bought for a less sum before the war begin. It could be had, on a spot cash sale, more cheaply now. This sum would have paid for all the property in Italy, $13,000,000,000; Japan, $10,000,000,000; Holland, $5,000,000,000; Belgium, $1,000,000,000; Spain, $5,000,000,000; and Portugal, $2,500,000,000. It is three times the entire yearly earnings in wages and salaries of the people of the United States, $15,500,000,000. "The first year's cost of this war would pay the national debts of all the nations in the world at the time, the war broke out. If all the farms, farming lands and factories in the United States were wiped out of existence the cost of this war would more than replace them. If all the personal and real property of half our nation were destroyed or if an earthquake of incredible dimensions should shake down every house from the Atlantic to the Pacific the waste would be less than that involved in this war up to date. And such an elemental catastrophe would leave behind it no costly legacy of hate. "And then the aftermath—good God, the aftermath." ARE WED IN LOCKUP CELL Ohio, Bride Wanted Ceremony to Be "Out of Ordinary."

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. Let every patriotic colored American send for one or all of the 38 historical charts. They serve a five-fold Requisite purpose: For home and office ornament, for Veneration to our patriotic Benefactors, for the truth of history for newspaper articles, for patriotic sentiment from all our Libraries, for imparting patriotic history not heretofore easy of access.

There is only one way for the masses to succeed and that is united action. and that is not united. They are not liberal; they are selfish and have more regard and respect for the firms that Jim Crow them than they have for firms conducted by their own people. Conditions in this city are more improved now than they have been for years past. There is no excuse, for the wants of the colored people can be satisfied by their own. There are establishments to can meet every demand. If the white men and women desire to be to themselves why should the colored men and women regret it? The "Jim Crow" colored man and woman will always seek the association of the white race if they are committed to do so. Thousands of colored people in this city have no race pride. The Bee has almost come to the conclusion that the lines of discrimination cannot be too tightly drawn against the "Jim Crow" colored men and women. The white press has declared against the Washington Negro and yet he continues to patronize it by paying fabulous sums for a advertisement, and if the colored people want to make a defense through its columns they are refused. Nobody knows this better than the Rev. A. C. Garner, who appealed to the white press in behalf of the sons of veterans. When the colored citizens learn to have more race pride he will be able to succeed in business. The colored citizens in LeDroit Park are beginning to learn some sense. Instead of giving all of their money to the enemy they are now liberally patronizing Mr. H. T. Swann, 2021 Fourth street northwest. This is the only representative colored business man in the park. This firm has everything first class and the store is well filled with the demand of the market. Prices are reasonable. If every colored citizen in LeDroit Park patronized this firm, Mr. Swann could give permanent employment to twenty-five or thirty colored clerks at good wages. Take our colored department store with everything that can be found in every department store. This store has recently added a men's hat department, ladies' and gentlemen's - hoisery department and sells middy blouses and suits and makes them to order. At this store can be purchased men's overalls and aprons of all kinds. If this firm was more liberally supported, employment could be given to two hundred of our girls, boys men and women. Visit this store once as The Bee has often requested. VIOLENCE VS. COMMON SENSE. The riot that occurred in Philadelphia some weeks ago caused by the prevention of the "Birth of the Nation" was an evidence of Intelligence vs. Ignorance. It was a riot in which intelligent colored men took the initiative and a photoplay written by a prejudiced white man against a nation of loyal Americans. Americans. To meet such plays the intelligent colored Americans should present a photoplay showing the good side of the colored man and the bad side of the white man in contrast to that to the brutal side of the colored man. There has been no crime known in ancient or modern history committed by a colored man that will equal or compare with crimes and offenses that have been committed by white men and women. The Bee would suggest that some colored historian compile the crimes and offenses that have been committed by the white race to those that have been committed by the colored race. There is no declaration that can be found in modern or ancient language that can be charged against the colored race to the extent that women had no souls. White men who would be guilty of such declarations fully demonstrates the brutal instinct of the white race and such is recorded against the white man. Such brutal instincts, while ancient, show that the white race, that is, those who commit crimes, today still posses barbarous characteris and nothing more can be expected. The question is, why are so many forced to eradicate these propensities? If Christian teachings will not improve conditions, brute force will not. Barbarians can only be civilized by music. Music has a more soothing effect upon brutes than force. Men who write plays, such as the "Birth of the Nation," portraying colored Americans as uncivilized, which is untrue, shows just the extent of a diseased brain of the author. The world knows that colored man has never been guilty of such crimes or offenses as Thomas Dixon Charges against him in the "Birth of the Nation. Why use force to stop him? An ancient was once told by one of his friends that he was a thief. O! said the ancient, I shall live that the world will not believe it. Let the colored man and woman live that the more particular white man and woman will not believe Thomas Dixon's play, the "Birth of the Nation," otherwise a libel on the Colored Americans. The intelligent colored men and women in Philadelphia cannot hope to be given credit for such judgment. What has been accomplished by the riot? The way to meet ignorance is by intelligence and not by force. Insane people in an asylum are seldom conquered by force. Then the insane becomes unmanageable they are placed in a padded room, tied down. It is not necessary to resort to either method with Thomas Dixon's play entitled "The Birth of the Nation. Do as the man was told to do with a deer—let him alone and he will break his own neck. If the white people are so forgetful of what the colored mama and male slave did during the war of the rebellion and what he is doing now, the time is not far distant when righteousness shall prevail. The Bee doesn't mean that the Colored Americans should not defend themselves against force or when his home is invaded, but it is unnecessary to meet ignorance with force. SCHOOL ATTENDANCE It is strange that the attendance and admissions in the colored schools were so small this year. There is something radically wrong. Can this falling off be explained. The Bee can easily account for it. The increase admissions in the white schools this year goes into the thousands while those in the colored schools don't reach a hundred. Has Dr. Thurston taken the pains to investigate. Is it not necessary for the board of education to look into this? The white teachers in the white schools are encouraged by their superintendent, while the colored teachers are threatened and intimidated. Dr. Thurston owes it to the colored population and our schools to place a man a the head of the colored schools who has the respect and confidence, not only of the people but the teachers. The Bee is confident that the coming Congress will make such radical changes in our colored school system that will meet with the approval of the people. The Bee has the highest respect for Dr. Thurston, but it must say that a radical change in the administration of the colored schools must take place. The Bee understands that Prof. II. M. Brown and Napoleon B. Marshall are being strongly considered as the head of the colored schools. When it was announced that Prof. Montgomery was to be designated temporarily as the head of the colored school there was a jubilee. HAITI THE REPUBLIC. If there ever was an outrage committed upon the Haitian people, it was the unjust occupation of the American troops and the seizure of all the custom ports in this little black republic. Some day this republic will meet a foe that will not tolerate such injustice. What right had the United States to invade this black republic? Had Haiti committed any acts against this republic? Had this little black republic insulted the American flags. An attempt was made to give Mexico a similar treatment, but better judgment prevailed Mexico is a republic of semi-civilized people, this country claims, but too much civilized to At Marlboro next Tuesday the colored trustees of Fairmount Heights will have a conference with Superintendent Burroughs. From all reports there will be a lively time. The petition that is to be send to the Board of Education at Annapolis contains some startling facts. Rev. M. W. N. Norman. Monday evening, Oct. 4, the bi-annual fair of the Metropolitan Baptist Church will be given. This fair will be preceded with a great lecture by Rev. Dr. Norman. Subject, "The Clouds of the Twentieth Century." Mrs. Cornella Hardy of Philadelphia was a guest of Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Lewis of Fairmount Monday and Tuesday. The present school trustees for Fairmount Heights are men who have opinions of their own and as long as they are trustees of this county. They mean to be fair and just toward the teachers and see that the schools of which they are trustees are properly conducted. allow a republic like the United States to seize her ports and manage her affairs against her will. Haiti must be freed. THE BLACK SOLDIER This is the caption of a pamphlet of sixty-three pages by Miss Mary Curtis, P.D.B. The narrative of the black soldier is well written and beautifully illustrated. This narrative should be in the hands of every lover of liberty. Miss Curtis is one of the most accomplished women in this country and one of the most progressive. The Bee commends her and her pamphlet. GRAND ARMY PARADE.

Woolworth, many times a millionaire, is worth at least 50 cents less than when he arrived here. It was a persistent creditor known far and wide in this section as "Huckleberry Charlie" Sherman that took Mr. Woolworth's measure. Forty years ago, when the big syndicate man and "Huckleberry Charlie" played as boys in the fields near Great Bend, the future multimillionaire needed just 50 cents to go to a circus that had struck town. On Charlie's money they both saw the show. Recently, as Mr. Woolworth alighted from his automobile, Charlie was on hand to press his claim. Mr. Woolworth did not-temporize. He acknowledged the debt, and, what's more, he paid it. "We are both from the same town, you know," explained Mr. Woolworth after the settlement. "It seems good to see Charlie once more, even if it has cost me half a dollar. Anyway, that was the best show I ever saw." KEPT COFFIN THIRTY YEARS. Eccentric War Veteran Arranged His Own Funeral. Newcastle, Ind.—Moab Turner, seventy-seven years old, was buried in a coffin he had made thirty years ago when he suffered his first stroke of paralysis. It was built from a great walnut chest which had been in his family for years. The coffin had been in the care of a local undertaker for ten years. Turner, who was eccentric and arranged his own funeral, lived in Tennessee when the civil war broke out. He was conscripted by the south, and after six months' service succeeded in having himself taken prisoner so the he could join the Union army. He captured at Cumberland Gorge ed, saw service daily campaign and was asl Malmette. . . . Pearl Parlometer, twelve, has given another proof of woman's encroachment on provinces herefore occupied by men. She took seventeen dead rats into the office of Menominee's city clerk and asked for the bounty of 5 cents a head. In the number of rats, caught Pearl is second only to Lloyd Mason, the champion six-year-old rat catcher of Menominee, who has killed and collected bounties on fifty-four rats. TURN FAUCET AND GET APPLEJACK COCKTAIL Reading, Ta.-For some weeks the city water bureau has noticed an amazing increase in the water used in this city. Inspectors and registrars alike were unable to account for it. People who seldom used water except to wash in have been seen indulging in amazing quantities. Men who have not used it as a tipple for a long time have been forsaking bars and clinging to water attachments in public places in lieu of pumps. Analysis of the water discovered a peculiar taste. It was like three fingers of Bourbon diluted to the eighth degree. This failed to solve the mystery, however, as no one supposed for a moment that a distillery had been located near any of the reservoirs. By accident the key to the puzzle has just been found. One of the inspectors of the state health board patrolling the water shed found several elder mills along the Maiden creek, which supplies the city, were dumping the waste and pulp from the apples used in making elder into the stream. This pulp, fermenting in the shallow places, produced the alcoholic juice that lent its peculiar applejack flavor later noticed in the city water. Even the fish showed the effects. Fishermen reported that the fish would not bite, but seemed to be running around recklessly in the water and indulging in anties that no fish in its right mind would think of. FLOOD LIFTS COW INTO TREE Among Other Freakish Stunts, It Steals Barrel of Vinegar. Frederick, Mk.-Queer freaks were played by a cloudburst which swept over a section of Frederick county. County Commissioner Frank M. Stevens of Creagerstown lost two cows. He found one of them in the fork of a peach tree seven feet from the ground. Samuel Geisbert of Creagerstown, who thought he had taken every movable object from his cellar, lost a barrel of vinegar. Nevada City. Cali.-A 300 pound brown bear was killed by Albert Buck and Henry Bever while hunting their stock in the vicinity of Moores flat. The footprints of the bear had been seen for weeks. The dogs got the scent and soon had the animal treed. Buck took one shot and brought the bear to earth. There have been several bears seen in the northern part of Nevada county and they have been a menace to the stockmen. $250,000,000 IS ASKED FOR ARMY FOR DEFENSIVE PURPOSES. Half a Million Trained Men In Five Years Is Hope-Declares President Wilson Will Try to Convince Leaders Big Increase Is Imperative-Stock of Ammunition Recommended. Washington.-The plans for the reorganization of the army are nearing completion and soon will receive the president's approval. A series of conferences has been held at the White House between the president. Secretary of War Garrison and the chairmen of the senate and house committees on military affairs. The basis of these conferences will be the report which Secretary of War Garrison is preparing with the assistance of the most experienced men in the army. The purpose of the conferences will be to obtain the viewpoints of the legislative leaders and to get their approval of the Garrison plan. The first and most important point in relation to the plans appears to be that Secretary Garrison will ask con- P. Photo by American Press Association. gress at the next session for approximately $2504,0100 for the use of the army. When Secretary Garrison appointed a committee of ranking officers to go into the queues they presented the various needs of the army from their viewpoint and then advised the head of the department that it would require $600,000,000 this year to provide these needs. The secretary took the plans and analyzed them piece by piece until he has finally cut the cost by $250,000,000. As now worked out the plans provide for an army built along the following lines: An immediate increase of between 25,000 and 40,000 men and 1,000 officers. The present enlistment terms to be changed to the short enlistment, with a reserve provision which requires the soldiers to return to the colors upon call. By the operation of this plan the army at the end of five years would consist of 500,000 trained men—125,000 in the service and 375,000 prepared to join the colors at a moment's notice. The theory upon which this plan was worked 'out' was that the American standing army should be for defensive purposes only. In other words, it was prepared upon the assumption that the navy will be increased to such an extent that it can for a long enough time protect the two coasts against attack to give the army a chance to build up a tremendous force, with the 500,000 men as a basis. The plan provides for the enlargement of the most important const fortifications and the use of the greatest guns at the principal points. A general increase in all branches of ordinance and the purchase of a stock of ammunition plentiful enough to carry on an initial campaign. In addition to the plan for the regular army there will be a number of suggestions for the standardization of the militia. Because of the failure of most of the state organizations to meet the standards set down by the war department it has been deemed inadvisable to spend any great amount of federal money on these branches. It is declared that President Wilson will urge on the leaders that the proposed increase is imperative. Women's Hose Mend Tire Elkhart, Ind.—Several pairs of women's hoslery were used in repairing a tire of an automobile in which a party of tourists passed through Elkhart. We had to do something to reach this burg. Handkerchiefs weren't long enough and we had no tape," said one of the party, explaining why the women could not dismount until new stockings had been purchased.

Noah Jones, a farmer living between Federalsburg and Wheatley's camp ground, has on his farm an apple tree which is very much of a curiosity. The tree contains four branches which point to the north, south, east and west. Last year the north and south branches were laden with fruit, while the east and west branches did not bear a single apple. This year the conditions are vice versa, the east and west branches being laden with apples, while the north and south branches are bare.

Girls Learning Dancing and Athletic Games. Shanghai, China.-A gymnastic exhibition given the other afternoon was an eye opener regarding what is being done for the development of China through the younger generation. Only a very few privileged males were allowed in the grounds, but there were perhaps a hundred or so foreign ladies and a matter of 400 or 500 Chinese mothers of families, and the latter certainly were a study. Pupils from 'the Shanghai Girls' school, the Chi Sue, Sung Char, Ellza Yates, South Gate Presbyterian and Bridgman Memorial schools and the Y. W. C. A. went through the regular western gymnasium drills, exercises, games and a variety of dances, such as certainly no Chinese woman would have dreamed of a few years ago.

Each Must Make His Own Calling and Election Sure—Baptism Into Christ's Death Not Completed Until Life's Close—The Opened Heaven—Powers of a Perfect Man—Results of Spiritual Illumination—The Savior Makes Up For Unavoidable Deficiencies of His Disciples—Membership in Christ's Body—Counting Earthly Things Dross. Miraculous Gifts of Spirit Temporary. Spiritual Fruits Permanent. Providence, R.I. Sept. 26, 1915. Faster Russell was here today. He delivered a very impressive discourse from the text, "By one Sphir we are all baptized into one Body." (1 Corinthians 12:3.) He said in part: PASTOR RUSSELL The blessings that are ours as Christians are first; the possession of the hearing ear, when the majority of people have no ears to hear; second, the great favor of God in that He has made all the arrangements by which we who have the hearing ear might receive the begetting and anointing of His Holy Spirit. But after we are begotten of the Spirit, although we have still more abundant favor, the issue is with us. It is an individual matter. Each must make sure his own calling and election. God is doing His part in leading, and in covering, making up for all our bleemishes, through Christ. The primary thing that God requires of us is loyalty of heart. We had this loyalty of heart at the beginning of our course: by one Spirit we were all baptized into the one Body of Christ, the Church. And it is by keeping this same Spirit that we are to make our calling and election sure. Christia. Baptism Finished on Calvary. It is a good thing to be able to say, "I have made a full consecration to God." But that consecration must continue; it is a daily matter. The same Spirit that led you into the baptism must remain with you in the baptism to its completion. "Is not our baptism complete when we have taken the step of entire consecration?" asks one; "was not Jesus' baptism complete when He had been immersed by John in Jordan?" I answer. You remember that when Jesus came to the close of His ministry, three and a half years after His baptism in Jordan, He said, "I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how am I stratened until it be accomplished!" (Luke 12:50.) You see His baptism was not fully accomplished at consecration. But He was anxious that it should be accomplished, and it was completed the following day; for on the cross He exclaimed, "It is finished!" His baptism was there fully consummated. So our baptism will be finished only in death. It may be that as we come down nearer to the close of our earthly experience we shall realize that there are dregs in our cup for us to drink, as there, were in the Master's cup for Him. It is of his cup that we are to partake. But there should be no alarm. We wish to share the Lord's cup of sufferings, and we are glad that he is letting us have similar experiences to His own. The Master will say to each of us, as He said to St. Paul, "My grace is sufficient for thee; My strength is made perfect in weakness." (2 Corinthians 12:20). We have a sure promise that covers every circumstance and condition. Our baptism into death will not be finished until we expire. Our wills must continue to be immersed into God's will unto the end. "The Heavens Were Opened Unto Him." Let us note how fully our Lord Jesus recelved the Spirit of God. You remember the account is given us in the Gospels that when Jesus came up out of the water, after He had been baptized of John, the Holy Spirit descended upon Him like a dove, "and the Heavens were" opened unto Him. ("Matthew 3:16.) This means that the higher things were opened to Him; the spiritual things. As a boy Jesus had lived in Nazareth where He habitually attended the synagogue. Although He had never had any schooling, He was able to read fluently; and so it seems to have been customary for Him to be called upon to serve, as public reader. He would stand up and, read the daily Scripture. Not many, could read. But being a perfect man, Jesus would have talents and powers above all the others; for He was perfectly balanced. During the time that Jesus was in Nazareth, up to thirty years of age, He was still reader in the synagogue when present. (Luke 4:16) This brought Him into contact with the people. The custom was that one part of the lesson would be chosen from the Law and another part from the Prophets. In this way Jesus gained full knowledge of all the Old Testament. We have known people of our fallen race who after one reading of a poem could repeat it verbatim. We are sure that our Lord would know every word of the Scriptures from Genesis to Malachi. No wonder that at twelve years of age He was in the Temple questioning the Doctors of the Law! He wished to know the meaning of all He had read. As He asked these questions, they were astonished. Think of a boy of twelve knowing all about the contents of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, the Psalms and all the Prophets! No wonder they were astonished, just as were the people of His home town when they asked. "How knoweth this man letters, never having learned?" When Jesus went up from the baptismal waters, and the Heavenly things were opened to Him, this meant, we understand, that He began to see more deeply into these statements of the Old Testament than ever before. Up to this time Jesus was a man—a natural man, not a shful man, however. He was "holy, harmless, undefiled, and separate from sinners." The Apostle says that the natural man [even though perfect] receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, neither can he know them, for they are spiritually discerned." (1 Corinthians 2:14.) Jesus had known about these things before. As a thoughtful man He had studied, over all these matters in the Scriptures, but He could not understand them clearly, because He had not yet been begotten of the Holy Spirit. But now, after His anointing of the Spirit, these Heavenly things that had seized strange and obscure began to open up to Him without measure. Our Lord, be perfect, could upon His begetting receive the full measure of God's mind, God's Spirit. Immediately following His baptism and illumination His mind being active. He was driven by the Spirit into the wilderness. It was thus His own Spirit that drove Him there. He said to Himself, "My mind is opening; all these hitherto obscure Scriptures are unfolding before Me. I must go away into the wilderness alone to think over these things." And there he had a forty-day Bible study: "The Scriptures imply that during that period, while he was thinking of the types of the Law and the prophecies. He did not even get hungry. Some of the Reasonable Things Unfounded The account states that Jesus "afterwards alumged." He was thoroughly absorbed in Bible study. We can surmise what Jesus was thinking of during all that time. One of the subjects must have been the Passover—what it meant—who it was that was to be passed over. Whom did the lamb typify? Why was not a bone of it broken? What did the bitter herbs eaten with the Passover lamb signify? What did the coming out of Egypt prefigure? What was the significance of the overthrow of Pharoh and his hosts in the Red Sea? What was the meaning of the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai? What the wilderness journey and the entrance into Canaan? What the fiery serpents in the wilderness and the lifting up of the brazen serpent on a pole? You and I would not have known had not the Holy Spirit through the Apostles shown us these things. So Jesus, until He was Spirit-begotten, knew not the significance of all these wonderful types. Then, coming down to the Psalms and the prophecies, Jesus thought of the Scriptures, "Thou wilt not leave My soul in Sheol, neither wilt Thou suffer Thine Holy One to see corruption"; "He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He opened not His mouth." (Isaiah 16:10 Isaiah 15:41 Now). He began to see the meaning of these Scriptures that He had long wondered about. He saw that He was to be the Lamb dumb before its shearers. He saw that He was to be the Passover Lamb; that He was to let will men take His life from Him and not interfere, not even ask God to hinder them, simply yielding up His life in hammor with the Father's will. Then He considered the typical Day of Atonement—the bullock and the Lord's goat for sacrifice, the scape goat, the burning of the fat, the kidneys, etc., upon the altar, the carrying of the blood within the second veil of the Tabernacle, the sprinkling of it there, the burning of the carcass outside the camp: He saw that these were all to be fulfilled in Himself and in His followers. How We Are Made Perfect In Him. We are only copying Jesus' course here to a small degree when we have Bible study classes and conventions for Bible Study. We can have the Holy Spirit only by measure, can understand only by measure, because of our imperfections. But it is the privilege of each to have his vessel filled to its capacity. As you keep it full, you will find your capacity increasing, so that you can contain more. The Apostle Paul says, "We are all baptized into one Body." Again, of himself, "If by any means I might attain unto His resurrection." (Philippians 3:10, 11.) Was there any doubt about St. Paul's attaining unto Christ's resurrection? He realizes the possibility of failure. "Then what chance have I?" some one may ask. We reply. As good a chance as the Apostle. The Lord manages this matter most wonderfully. Our Lord had one hundred points of character, we will say. That represents perfection. We blemished by sin. may have only ten, fifteen, twenty, or even thirty-five points. That is about as far as we dare go, we think. Humanity has fallen far below the perfection in which Adam was created. You say. Those who have thirty-five points have the best chance. No they will not have one whit more chance than those who have ten. God makes up in Christ's merit to each one as he needs. The one who has only ten points of character needs that the Lord supply ninety points. The one who has thirty-five points needs sixty-five supplied. Where one has greater need, grace so much more abounds, the Apostle declares. (Romans 5:19-21). It is just as easy for you and me as for St. Paul. He said, "I count all things but loss and vile refuse that I may win Christ and be found in Him." How could he win Christ? How could He be in Christ? Counting All Things but Dross. Counting All Things but Dress. The thought is this: The word Christ is not merely a personal name. The name Christ is the name of the Office. Jesus is the Head of The Christ; the Church are the members of the Body. What St. Paul means is, "If by any means I might attain to membership in The Christ." This clarifies the passage. What are the terms for gaining this membership? The Apostle knew—he must give up everything. Had he done it? Yes. What had he to give up? A great deal. He had been a lawyer. He was favored in being a Roman citizen by birth. His family was wealthy. (He used some of his wealth in Rome when he paid for his own hired house.) He had a good education. Yet he said, "I count all this but loss and dross." Some one might ask, "Do you not often feel sorry, Paul, that you had to give up so much? I wonder that you did not think of how much you were sacrificing when you gave up these opportunities." "I count these but dross, if by any means I may win a place in The Christ, and be found in Him, a member of His Body," he replies. Then he continues, "That I may attain unto the resurrection out from among the dead"—the First Resurrection, the highest resurrection. That was St. Paul's hope. "May we have that resurrection? Yes. The Body of Christ are to share the same resurrection that Jesus had. We are to be exalted from the fallen, human condition to a condition far above angels—even to the Divine nature. The Apostle tells us the conditions: "That I might know Him, the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed unto His death." Christ's death was a very special death. Other people die because they have to die, because they share Adam's death penalty. The Church class do not die because they share Adam's penalty. We have been redeemed from this. We are dying voluntarily with Jesus. We might have had share in the future Restitution. But we gave up all these earthly interests that we might be includes with Christ in the Mystery hidden from the ages—that we might share His nature and glory. For this reward we follow in His sacrificial footsteps. What Is the Holy Spirit? Let us each maintain this one Spirit by which we were all baptized into this one Body. Let us abide in Christ. How may we do this? By cultivating the fruits of the Holy Spirit, through study of the Word and prayer, "But," says one, "this matter of having the Holy Spirit is so confusing. We have heard people say that the Holy Spirit enters into each of us. How can one person enter into another, or into many persons?" We reply, It would show, that these was something wrong with your reasoning faculties if you could get anything out of that idea. It is just as the Bible tells us. The Holy Spirit is the mind, disposition, energy of the Father. It is also the mind, energy, disposition of the Son, received from the Father. We are partakers of the same Spirit, if we have been begotten of the Spirit. It is the Lord's animating power in each one of us. It will manifest itself if we have it. The fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, meekness, faith, self-control. Fruita and Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Fruits and Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Are the fruits of the Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit the same? No. The early Church received the gifts of the Spirit in addition. The Apostle declared that the gifts would pass away. I Corinthians 13:8, 13). They did pass away when the Church had become fully established. The fruits remained, and these are far more important. These fruits, if present, are manifest in the life. Meekness is one of them, gentleness another. You find that you are not so rude as you used to be. You do not slam doors so often. You speak more gently. Sometimes you make a slip but you make apends for it. You say, "Please pardon me, I will try to be more gentle the next time." Every time you tell one you are sorry you did something wrong it cultivates patience and humility. It humbles one to apologize; but each time you thus apologize for a thoughtless word or deed, you are growing in meekness, gentleness and love. If you have these qualities abounding, "they make you that ye shall be neither, id'-nor unfruitful in the knowledge of the Lord." You thus have more of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is not a person. No Scripture, properly translated, gives any such thought. We need a supernatural illumination to understand the deep things of God and our relationship to Him. If these spiritual fruits abound in you, "an abundant entrance shall be ministered into the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ." Now, dear friends, I leave the matter with you. We have been baptized with this Holy Spirit of God. We received the Spirit when we made our consecration. We were then begotten as New Creatures. It is under this Heavenly influence that we are developing the fruits of the Spirit. This brings us into closer and closer fellowship with God. His Truth is sanctifying us more and more as the days go by. Shortly, if we thus continue on, we shall hear the Masters' "Well done, good and faithful servant." Thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee easier over many things. Enter the Lord." CHRIST'S OBEDIENCE AND HIS KINGSHIP The Glory of Messiah's Kingdom—The Reward of His Obedience to Jehovah. The Destruction of His Foes a Necessity—Forty Years Into Millennium? "The King shall joy in Thy strength, O Jehovah, and in Thy salvation how greatly shall He rejoice!"—Psalm 21:1. THE Jews took a practical view of the promised Kingdom of Messiah, in which they were to have a glorious place, and in which all nations were to be blessed. Two things they failed to realize: first, that a Redemption-price for Adam's sin must be provided before Adam and his race could be returned to Divine favor and everlasting life in Eden; second, that Messiah Himself, before having so great an exaltation as Jehovah purposed, must demonstrate His worthiness by humility, obedience, loyalty, even unto death. St. Paul points out that Jesus the Redeemer did this (Phillipsans 2:8-11.) On this account God highly exalted our Lord, making Him partaker of the Divine nature and Inheritor of the greatest promises. Many who see this much fail to get the Scriptural declaration that God's purpose equally included a Church class as a Bride to Messiah—us sharer of His sufferings and trials, and as sharer of His exaltation and glory. Only when this is seen can we properly understand the delay in the establishment of the Kingdom. It has been delayed in or- purpose equally included a Church class as a Bride to Messiah—as sharer of His sufferings and trials, and as sharer of His exaltation and glory. Only when this is seen can we properly understand the delay in the establishment of the Kingdom. It has been delayed in order that the entire Church, foreordained of God, might be completed, tested, proved, glorified in the First Resurrection, and then inaugurated with Messiah as the Heavenly Kingdom. Many peculiar ideas prevail because of a failure to take the Scriptural proposition and because of a false theory that the Kingdom has already been set up in glory. Ridding our minds of these difficulties, Bible students now discern Messiah's Kingdom near at hand. They are more and more realizing that the present terrible war is the beginning of a series of troubles which will wind up the existing order of things and inaugurate the New Dispensation of Messiah's Kingdom. Although it will be a spiritual Kingdom, no less so than Satan's kingdom of the present time, and the Father's Kingdom—invisible to men—nevertheless it will be a real Kingdom, exercising power and authority more completely than any earthly kingdom could, because not handicapped by human limitations and conditions. Moreover, the Bible indicates that the Ancient Worthies of the Jewish line will be resurrected to perfection, and in an earthly glory will become visible representatives to men of the glorified spiritual Christ, Head and Body. Our Lord emphasized this thought to the Jews, saying, "Ye shall see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and all the Prophets in the Kingdom." (Luke 13:28). But respecting Himself He declared, "Yet a little white, and the world seeth Me no more." (John 14:10). All will see Him, however, in the sense that eventually all the eyes of understanding will be opened, that all may see the light of the knowledge of Divine glory.—Revelation 17: Habakkuk 2:14. Messiah's Kingdom Begun. Many Bible students claim that, according to the prophecies, Messiah's Kingdom began in 1878. They claim that while its chief activities have been in respect to the Church—the harvesting of the wheat, the separating of the tares, etc.—nevertheless it has had a world-wide influence also, in that during this time God has been showing mankind invaluable mechanical and chemical secrets, which undoubtedly will increase in the near future, when the Messiah's Kingdom shall have been fully inaugurated, at the close of the great Time of Trouble, already beginning in Europe and Mexico. Amongst other indications of Kingdom influence in the world, Bible students point to the wonderful reform along the lines of intemperance. The wonderful wave of prohibition which has spread voluntarily over many of the States has been supplemented by the necessities of the war in foreign countries. We must not expect too much along these lines, however. We must expect more or less of reaction, especially in the case of so sudden a turn as the war brought upon Europeans. ```markdown ``` Indeed, evidence is not wanting that the first fervor of prohibition in Europe is reacting. We had similar experiences in America, but as a whole the world is moving onward. The movement against opium and other narcotics also tends in the right direction, as do the lessons being given respecting the terrible penalty of vice, as witnessed in the now well-recognized fact that syphilis stops brain development, and generally in a few years leads to insanity. While continuing to pray, "Thy Kingdom come," let us as God's consecrated people continue to labor in character preparation, that we may be found worthy of a place in that Kingdom. Let us also continue to note evidences of the dawn of HEATING BOX THE MAGIC IS 19 IN LONG THE MAGIC SHAMPOO DRIER AND HAIR STRAIGHTENER MAILED ANY WHERE IN U.S. $100 POSTAGE PAID SEND MONEY BY POST OFFICE MONEY ORDER Address all letters to Magic Shampoo Drier Co.
