The star-bearing children appear with the capstone Love. (51) (o) The Tower of Light touches and supports the Star of Freedom. A great son arises, "O Freedom, Over Me." (62). One thousand actors, both children and adults, will participate, in the Pageant, and the historic story will be told by music, dramatic action, beautiful costumes and folk-dancing. The music will range from the wierd roll of the African tom-toms to the martial strains of Coleridge-Taylor and the plaintive-notes of the American Slave Songs. Both music and costumes will be specially adapted to the various historical periods depicted in the Pageant, strict attention having been given to historic and artistic accuracy. The dramatic action of the entire group of participants is under the direction of Charles Burroughs, the well known interpreter of Shakespeare, who was for some time a reader on the public lectures under the Board of Education of New York City. In addition to his natural gift along this line, Mr. Burroughs has had large experience in pageantry, having directed the dramatic action for the pageant held in New York City two years ago, and he is using to the full the great amount of dramatic ability evidenced by the large group of participants who have responded to the call for actors in the "Star of Ethiopia." The costumes are under the supervision of Mrs. Helen Curtis, the well known designer of New York City, and are being patterned with great care after the dress of the times depicted in the various episodes of the Pageant. Mrs. Dora Cole Norman is in charge of the dancing, and her work with the large groups who have come under her teaching during the past three weeks has brought out much that is artistic in the action. The folk dancing of the children and the group dancing of the adults will be especially attractive. The music to be used is mostly from the pen of colored composers, and much of it was written especially for the Pageant. In addition to the American slave song and other folk music, selections are taken from the works of Coleridge-Taylor, Major Charles W. Young, Will Marion Cook and J. Rosamond Johnson. Mr. Johnson will be in attendance and take part, in the conduct of the music. From the standpoint of dramatic action and artistic presentation the affair promises to be an unprecedented occasion. The pageant was written by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, and is being presented here by the "Horizon Guild," with the assistance of the local "National Pageant and Dramatic Association." The general admission is twenty-five cents, and there will be reserved seats on sale for 35, 50 and 75 cents. DR. W. D. M. NORMAN. 2,000 People Greet the Great Orator—The Clouds of the 20th Century His Theme—The Parade had no Effect—The Choir Under Prof. Green Renders Sweet Music—Editor W. Calvin Chase—Presides—President Lewis the Coming Man—The Great Fair a Success. The biannial fair and lecture took place at the Metropolitan Baptist Church last Monday evening. Notwithstanding the scheduled parade that took place which almost all Washington witnessed two thousand or more people crowded in the Metropolitan Baptist Church to listen to the new lecture, by that prince of orators, Rev. W. D. M. Norman, pastor of the church, who selected for his subject, The Clouds of the 20th Century. Seated in the pulpit were many distinguished divines. Long before the beginning of the exercises almost every available space in the church was filled with anxious auditors to listen to words of wisdom and eloquence that fell from the tongue of that master of logic and eloquence, Dr. Norman. The choir, under the direction of Prof. Green, with his most accomplished wife at the organ, furnished the music. President John W. Lewis of the Industrial Savings Bank called the meeting to order and introduced Mr. W. Calvin Chase as the master of ceremonies. Prior to the introduction of Mr. Chase a beautiful organ prelude was rendered by the organist, Mrs. Green, after prayer was offered by Rev. L. D. Best. The master of ceremonies then in a brief address paid a high compliment to President Lewis, saying among other things that he was the coming man in the financial world among colored Americans; that the people did not know the value of such a man who has demonstrated, his ability as a financier and the only man who has ever been successful to make a bank a success in the District of Columbia. Coming as he did from the lowly walks of life to be a leader among men in finance, makes him a factor and a success among his people. Applause. At the conclusion of this address he presented Rev. W. A. Taylor, pastor of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, who in most eloquent terms introduced Dr. Norman, who selected for his subject THE CLOUDS OF THE 20TH CENTURY. This tall and handsome man stepped man made a great defense for his people, of their burdens and the clouds of oppression which tend to degrade the colored Americans. He viewed graphically the hypocrisy of those who have pretended to defend the rights of the colored people and cited many illustrations to sustain the subject of forward dressed in an immaculate suit and discussed for one hour and twenty minutes the subject of his lecture, which brought forth tears, laughter and merriment. Rev. Nor- his address. His appeal for justice and fair play reminded those students of history of the defense of Demosthenese against the attack of Aschinese and the disclosure of Cireco when he disclosed the great conspiracy of Catalea when all Rome was to be destroyed by arch conspirators. His flight of eloquence and logic; his reasons for present conditions in the American body politic showed the ability of this master mind; his diversions were comparisons to illustrate the force of his subject and were most convincing. From the time he opened his mouth to the conclusion of his address, the vast audience set spellbound, with open mouths and open eyes. Old men, and old woman, and young children followed the utterances of the speaker in his noble defense of his people. No man could have made a greater plea for right and condemned more strongly the wrongs that the great conflict perous the seas, the distinguished speaker said that it was a curse against themselves and God was allowing those waring nations to reap what they have been sowing. In speaking of Belgium, he referred to how she oppressed the poor Africans, and God was paying for the wrongs she inflicted upon our oppressed race. He favored preparing for any invasion. He thought all the country should prepare for an invasion. He paid a glowing compliment to his people and said that he had great hopes for their future. He pictured the clouds of the twentieth century and divided them into several parts. It was a sad story to relate. He would float from laughter to tears and conclude with merriment. He defended the helpless babe and threw his arm of defense around the struggling spirit of those who are yet loyal to a disturbed republic. His command of the English language and the words he uttered electrified all who heard him. With matchless eloquence he told the story. He didn't hesitate and neither did he prevaricate. He had no apologies to make or offer in telling the people in this, republic that these wrongs should cease, because some day a lesson will be given to this country as it was given to Rome, Carthage and many other republics. The American people will not be taught and neither will they we guided by other ruined republics and empires. He concluded with a prediction that will be handed down to future ages and the applause was deafening. Madame Edmond rendered very sweetly a solo and Rev. W. J. Jones gave the benediction. The master of ceremonies invited the vast assembly to the lecture room below, where there were fully fifty booths of every description. The Fair. On either side of the lecture room below were beautifully decorated booths, connected with red, white and blue steamers. It was the handsomest decorated fair room that has ever been witnessed in any hall or church. The lice representative met the president of the Fair Committee, Mrs. Lotte Carr; vice president, Mrs. Susie Saunders; trustee, Mrs. Bertha Mitchal; secretary, Mrs. Katie C. Brent. There are tables in each booth, and they are plentifully filled. Fancy table No. 1 is managed by Mrs. A. C. Williams; chairman. Fancy table No. 2. Mrs. Virginia Winslow, chairman. Fancy table No. 2 is presided over by that noble woman, Mrs. Emily Monroe. Linen table is managed by Mrs. Louis Crawford, chairman; motion table No. 2, Mrs. Laura Smith, chairman; apron table No. 1, Mrs. Mary Best, chairman; apron table No. 2. Mrs. Mary Chandler, chairman, and Mrs. Louis Temple, vice-chairman; variety table. Mrs. Mollie Hunter, chairman; soda fountain and Larkin's booth, Mrs. Etta Johnson, chairman; furniture booth, Mrs. Martha Glibbs, chairman; notion table No. 1, Mrs. Carrie Johnson, chairman; tin table, Mrs. J. W. Marshall, chairman; grocery table, Deacon George Smith, chairman; ice cream table, which seemed to be among the busiest there is conducted by Mrs. Lula Akers, chairman; stationery table, Miss N. A. Bowler, chairman; china table, Mrs. Anna Bradley, chairman; super table which was also busy, is conducted by Miss Sarah E. Minor; committee on entertainment, L. E. Murray, chairman, and Mrs. M. F. Lewis, secretary; the music committee; Mr. Samuel H. H. chairman; decorating committee, Mollie Hunter, chairman. The committee deserves special mention for the beautifully decorated fair room and tables. Each committee has from one to twenty assistants. Everybody is busy. It is the best arranged and best conducted fair that has ever been witnessed. The furniture booth is conducted by twenty-seven misses and thirteen men. This is to remind the young men that the misses are on the market, if they have sufficient funds to furnish a home. It is quite evident that the committee on arrangements knows its business, and a large sum will be realized at the closing of the fair, which will be October 29th. McKINLEY MEMORIAL · CHURCH An Appeal for Help—What is Needed. In addition to the appeal of former U. S. Senator Chas. Dlek of Ohio, Dean William Allen Wilbur of George Washington University, and Dr. C. E. Morris of Helena, Ark. President of the National Baptist Convention, previously published, Capt. E. R.

Hay, widow of the late Secretary of State John Hay, made the first contribution of $1,000 towards the establishment of the church, and in her letter to Pastor Lamking said: "I wish all success in your new church." Ex-Senator Dick wrote as follows: "I cannot conceive of any memorial that could be more appropriate to keep alive the moral and spiritual side of the life of our lamented President than a Memorial Church at the Capital of the Nation." "Rev. S. Geriah Lamkins, pastor of the McKinley Memorial Church on the corner of Fourth and L streets northwest, is a member of the General Association of the District of Columbia, and like Baptist Ministers Conference of Washington, D.

AN UNRIVALED MUSICAL By request, the pupils of Herndon Belse Jones re-appeared in a masterly pianoforte recital at Lincoln Congregational Temple on Monday and Tuesday evenings of last week. The program consisted of some of the most choice selections by such masters as Paderewski, Lavignac, Wollenhaupt, Braungardt, Chopin, Godard, Pagnoncelli, Chaminade, Grieg, Moszkowski, Rossini, and Weber. Not only was there solo work, but there was some playing that had never before been witnessed by many in the audience. Particularly pleasing and of great interest to the absorbed audience were the four eight hand numbers (especially the one where four played at one piano), two six-hand numbers, and the twelve hand number—two pianos and three to each piano. Paderewski Minuet was skilfully played in four hands by two of the young members of the class—fortunately boys. Weber's Oberon was played with two pianos in eight hands with wonderful effect by some of the more advanced students. A prevailing characteristic of all was the confidence they seemed to have in themselves and their dignified bearing. The entire entertainment seemed to be enveloped in an atmosphere of culture. The beautiful decorations with palms and the dainty, tasty costumes of the performers did not fail to please the eye of the audience. The following appeared on the program: Edith Lorena Blackwell, Douglas Henry, Oscar Allen Lucas, Clementine Jones, Emma Sylvia Isbell, Lavinia Thompson, Fredericka Davis Early, Geraldine Marshall, *Margaret Elizabeth Clark, Helen Williams, Helen Rebecca Henderson, Mary Teresa Gaines, Fairfax Helen Greene, George Robert Roland Blackwell, Norris Alphonzo Harris, Wm. Benjamin Frye, and George Hench Butcher. Roscoe C. Bruce to Take a Rest. Roscoe C. Bruce to Take a Rest. Roscoe C. Bruce, assistant supri- tendent in charge of colored pub- le schools, tomorrow is to go to Ocean City, N. J., for his health. Mr. Bruce has but recently, convalesced from a severe illness, following upon an auto- mobile accident in which he was injured last spring. For the last week Mr. Bruce has been going to his office at the Franklin School taking up matters regarding the colored schools, but this physician has ordered him to go away until he has completely recovered the effects of his recent illi- ness.—Evening Star, Oct. 5. "The very bad man" extends his sympathy and regrets.-Ed. FAIRMOUNT HEIGHTS The colored republicans are organizing under a new leadership. They don't propose to be dictated to or led by a syphobic negro so-called representative. Mr. Trammell, who left for New York Monday morning to bury his sister, Mrs. Carrie Simms, who died suddenly in that city. Prof. Cardozo, who has been indisposed, is well again. A strong citizens' meeting is in contemplation. All carpet baggers are to be ignored, and the people will rule. If republican officials continue to thrust upon the people incompetent and unreliable, candidates, the colored vote will go elsewhere. NEXT WEEK. Normal School continuation crowded out this week. Read The Bee's Cartoon on Haiti next week by The Bee's special Chicago Artist, M. C. Gobon. Prof Daniels' School of Music. Prof. R. J. Daniels, principal, of the Daniels' school of music, announces the opening of the school in all branches on Oct 7. Pupils may register at either the northwest or northeast branch, or at Rosslyn, Va. Peace Society The International Peace Society invites,you to become a member of your local chapter. Address, International Peace Society, 21st Floor, Railway Exchange, Bldg., St. Louis, Mo. (By the Sage of the Potomac). The Ms-So-Lit. Club, with my friend, Mr. Grant Lucas in the minority, will convene shortly. There will be some surprises. Don't you know, Prof. Hershaw is one of those smooth diplomats. I certainly would like to see him on the Board of Education or at the head of the schools. Walking down Avenue de Chocolate last Sabbath afternoon, I met some of the prettiest girls that would make Paris blush. I glanced on the other side of the street and my eyes centered right into those of Lord Chesterfield Jones. Thomas is looking like himself again. Don't you know, when I first met my friend Jones, I regarded him an imitator, or rather I thought he made an effort to follow the footsteps of the late John Mercer Langston. I am convinced now that it is all natural with the philosopher of the bar. His trip this summer did him lots of good. He continues to tip waiters with no imaginary five dollars greenbacks, but with the genuine article. You must give it to Jones as one of the thoroughbreds. Did you see Dr. Bruce Evans the other day? He has come back, and I understand that he has realized the importance of standing by his friends. It is necessary at times to jab a person to make him realize that other people have feelings as well as yourself. I just don't know whether Lord Faunteilroy has been imbued with a feeling of human consideration or not. But I know one thing, that the next Congress will legislate him to the waybeyond. The Board of Education has decided not to reform the situation, but this is the ending for this Board of Education. It has been decided by the powers that no gentleman, of African complexion is to be appointed on the police force, and any time the royal informer turns up a fashionable colored resort he will be compensated. This individual is well known now. He became so intoxicated with his job that he had to inform his friends, who had to tell it. If high chocolates had been inflicted with such weakness during the days of slavery, I would have readily concluded that it was a hereditary aliment that could not be overcome. I occupied a box at the Howard Monday night, and I came to the conclusion when I saw my friend Byers a thought struck me that Texas may be all right and he and Judge Terrell may have passed through it without being burnt; they may go, but I shall remain here and continue to see the beauties of Howard. Now, in speaking of the Howard theater I can never divorce my old friend Andrew J. Thomas from it. Don't you know that Mr. Thomas is responsible of getting a habit on the religious people in this city to attend his theater? It is a common thing now to see ministers, class leaders, exhorters, shouting Baptists and praying Methodists wending their way to the Howard as regularly as they go to prayer meetings. Speaking of the Douglass home, which is struggling to pay off a $4,000 mortgage. This mortgage will never be paid off until a change is made in its administration. I would advice the people to hold on to their contributions. It is the consensus of opinion that Prof. John H. Douglass, the grandson of the old man eloquent, placed in charge of the home, would soon pay off this mortgage. This young man, with his national reputation, would draw crowded houses wherever he and his most amiable wife were billed to play in the interest of the home. There is something radically wrong when a small four thousand dollar mortgage with the entire colored race behind it, can not be paid off. This is sufficient in itself that a change is necessary, and the people will not be justified in contributing a cent. The Sage feels confident that Prof. H. Douglass could pay off this indebtedness within two years. He can raise in this city alone a good sum as a starter. Prof. Douglass and his wife would tour the country and keep the expenses of the home up. What good is a person who has his own personal business to manage? He hasn't the time to go out and solicit aid. Prof. Douglass would devote his entire time to this home. Then, again, it would give the home some prestige with such a young man and woman in charge. Mrs. Douglass is affable and popular with the people throughout the country. The Sage will guarantee at least one thousand dollars from the State of Georgia. This is an item for the trustees of the home to consider. Dr. Washington, who is a leading spit in this home, should embrace this opportunity at once. By the way, my opinion is that Secretary Emmett J. Scott will be the successor of Dr. Booker T. Washington. It is the opinion among many that Dr. Washington is soqn to retire from active work at Tuskegee, Ala., and Mr. Emmett J. Scott will succeed him. My friend, Mr. Scott, is a popular individual among the masses throughout the country. If the prediction is true, the policy of the institution will be the same, but the tenor of speeches will undoubtedly be more diplomatic. I was amused the other day while in Gaskins' emporium. I heard Andrew J. Thomas, the suave manager of Howard theater, say that he would soon cease eating and resign his office in favor of his friend, Aaron Gaskins. Both of these handsome expounders of amusements and pleasure have come to the conclusion that nibbling at a bait so long is a dangerous proposition to consider. My friend, Armond Scott, who left the city for Chicago some few weeks ago, never sent his friends a postal card on his arrival. His private secretary and adviser was J. Finley Wilson, who had guaranteed his election as Grand Exalted Ruler. Finley has guaranteed his election the next term Don't you know, Finley is a good-matured individual. He would be a millionaire one day, if he had the coin. The membership in the Baiting Club has increased. There is no chance to retain Doc Board, Will Davits, or any of the bachelor set. They have long since come to the conclusion that it is easier to nibble at a bait than to allow the bait to catch you. My friend, Jesse Foster, is given the doctor lessons in nibbling. SQUARE DEAL FOR NEGROES ASKED East Orange, N. J., Sept. 20. Speaking on "The Negro Problem" in the morning service yesterday in the African-American Church, the pastor, Rev. Dr. H. H. McQuilkin, said the solution would be a uniform system of treatment for white and black races. "We must be as honorable and as fair and as kind to the black man as to the white man," he said. Dr. McQuilkin, who recently came from California, took his text from John iv:9, "Now Jews have no dealings with Samaritans." "One person out of every nine in the United States is a negro," he said. "That is, there are ten millions of these colored people in America today. It is estimated that in fifty years there will be fifty million of them. Now the problem for this nation to solve is how to insure to both Anglo-Saxon and negro a fair and peaceable and happy life. It is one of the most difficult problems we face as a nation. Two peoples, allen to each other in origin, color, custom and culture can never find it easy and natural to live comfortably together. "The problem, at least as far as its immediacy is concerned, has been occasioned not by the colored man, but by the white man. Booker T. Washington, the Moses of the negro race in America today, states that occasion in these significant words: "The negro race is the only one that come to this country by special invitation." So that negro occupancy in the United States' is the reaction of Anglo-Saxon indolence and greed. North and South alike joined in that "special invitation," allike paid the price of its retribution in treasure and in the blood of their sons in the civil war, and allike handed down to their posterity the obligation to atone, by just treatment, for their transgression. "The factors constituting the negro problem are not a few. First there is the color line. It is a real barrier to thorough amalgamation. And yet there is no standard color; nor white, nor red; nor brown, nor yellow, nor black. You cannot determine any basis for standalization. It's a matter of taste. And this much be said for black, that it is a serviceable color, showing neither tan nor soil. We have our Anglo-Saxon distinction between blonde and brunette, and what does that mean except one is blacker than the other. It is a matter of degree, you see, after all. And it is largely a subjective matter, too. Some prefer white, some black, each according to his own color usually. We speak of certain peoples as "allen." That is one of the standard words today. Nevertheless, I do not quite like it. it bristles with egotism. In the last analysis our own individual traits and prepossessions are the standards of measurement in determining what is "alien," and what is not. "Then there is the illiteracy of the colored people. Thirty per cent. of the nine million of them in the Southern States cannot read or write. But whose fault is it? And then we must not forget that 66 2-3 per cent of the Mexicans are just as illiterate and the rest of the Latin-American countries are little better. Andrew Johnson couldn't say the A B C's when he was married, and his wife taught them to him, but he became President of the United States. Illiteracy, therefore, is no unusual or insuperable barrier. "Then there is negro arrogance. Yes, I have seen it myself in Tennessee, where I lived for a short time at the beginning of my ministry. The new life of liberty after 250 years of slavery is calculated to produce some arrogance in the younger generation of colored people. How could it be otherwise. But are they alone in their arrogance? How about Austrian arrogance in Servia that has plunged all Europe into the most awful war of history? And then, how about Teutonic arrogance, treacherous and shameless, that tries by conspiracy and subterfuge and foul treason to disintegrate the 'authority' of the American Government? Yes, and how about American arrogance toward the Asiatics? The negroes have a lot to learn yet about arrogance. "Then there is negro thieving. No doubt there is a good deal of petty thieving among many of them. But the white man set them the example. Our fathers stole their fathers. And all about them they see the graft that goes on among the whites—graft, political and commercial. "But some one points to the licentiousness of the negroes. Now, that is a most humiliating theme for the Anglo-Saxons to discuss with the negroes. There is an innumerable host of mulattos in this country. What is a mulatto? A person part black and part white. So every mulatto born out of wedlock is a living monument to what? To white licentiousness. "Too often, too, the young negro men see the virtue of their sisters violated by white men who move in good society while they secretly prey on the weakness of colored young womanhood. It rankles in their souls and they want to get even. Then they see our "White Slave Traffic" and Morman polygamy flourishing right at the heart of the nation with both of the two great political parties protecting the latter and bidding for the supports of its adherents—as four a system of licentiousness as ever blotted the face of the earth. Do you wonder at Negro licentiousness? "Are many of the Negroes lawless? Undoubtedly so. Yet I dare say its greatly overstated. There are three classes of people whose misdeeds are magnified—minister's sons, deacons' daughters, and the colored people. "But if the Negroes are lawless, do they not witness white lawlessness all about them. Every lynching teaches the colored population to break law. Georgia has just given her colored people a fine lesson in the art of lawlessness. Decades will not wipe the stain from her name and her children will yet answer at the bar of retribution. For Georgia has set her seal on lawlessness." "And so you may go on down the list of negro deficiencies and you will find that in most deficiencies they are the results directly or indirectly of Anglo-Saxon wrong doing. But where will the solution for the problem be found? In a uniform system of treatment for both races. That is to say we must be as honorable and as fair and as kind to the black man as to the white man. We must educate the negro. They must be trained to think and to judge and to work with their hands. Today there are 100 newspapers published by negroes. There are 50,000 negro men in the learned professions—the law, the ministry, medicine and the teaching profession today. Fifty years ago there wasn't one. "Then the negro must have a fair chance economically. He should be as well paid as the white man for the same grade of work. Otherwise he cannot rise. There are 100 insurance companies under colored management today, 20,000 groceries, 300 drug stores and sixty-five bands. The assessed valuation of property owned by negroes in this country has increased in the last fifteen years from seventy million to two hundred and seventy-three million dollars. They have good business ability and they must be allowed to exercise it. "Socially, they should be treated with civility and kindness always. A white person who snubs or otherwise mistreats a negro, just because he is a negro is black, too—only his is inside. Then some one parade the boogaboo of negro ambition for intermarriage with the white people. To all that this is the first answer—that will not happen until our Anglo-Saxon sons and daughters give their consent. Furthermore, the negroes aren't half as anxious to marry into the white race as we may imagine. There is no good reason to become panicky on this score. Another thing we've got to do is to give the colored people the protection and rights under the law that we claim for ourselves. We cannot have "due process" for white criminals and "lynch law" for colored criminals. And then we must, as our highest and best contribution to this di cult problem, give the colored race the gospel of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Without this all all else will be defective and ineffectual. I once heard an eloquent colored bishop exclaim: "God has shown what He can do in ivory; let us give Him a chance to show what He can do in ebony." I agree with him. Christ can redeem and transform the negro as well as the white man and bring them to a klinship in character, if not in color. And this is the solution off the negro problem. SOCIETY OF VIRGINIA Twelve executive officers, with Dr. Booker T. Washington and Prof. John Hope, President of Moorehouse College, as special guests, constituted the party. But at the very last moment, with unspeakable regret, we were notified that Dr. Washington's serious illness prevented his joining the party. The yacht Hampton was placed at the party's disposal by Dr. Frissell. This yacht is the former Dixie of the "Leopard-Spots" fame, as Dr. Dixon wrote his book on this craft. Under the leadership of Major R. R. Moten, president of the Negro Organization Society, the party left Hampton Creek Sept. 13, steaming up the bay to Reedsville for harbor. Here the men were met by autos and driven to Heathsville on the 14th inst. At 11:30 o'clock the vast concourse of people of both races was called to order. Notwithstanding the disappointment occasioned by the absence of Mr. Washington, the meeting was enthusiastic. Dinner served, the party returned to the yacht for the night. The next harbor was Wicomico. From there we were rushed by automobiles to Kilmarnock, Va., where we found everything in readiness for us. The most cordial greeting dispelled every anxiety. The hearty applauds, that punctuated the addresses, in part, measured the apprehension of the audience. Words are inadequate to describe the dinner. Suffice it to say it was delicious, and that it was most tastefully served. From Kilmarnock we met our yacht at White Stone on the Rappahannock River. We sailed up that majestic stream for forty miles, and then anchored for the night. Bright and early on the morning of the 6th, some of the party tried their luck overboard, while others passed the time in telling the anglers about the fish they were not catching. Ten o'clock, autos and carriages on the shore all astir, away we drove to Warsaw, the county seat of Richmond county, where we had much the same experience that we had at the other places visited. Back across the river to Rappahannock, Essex county, at 5 o'clock, where we met a large number awaiting our coming We docked here for the night, which gave us an opportunity to render a program at 8 o'clock also, much to the delight of the people of the town. On the 17th, we took Montrose, the capital of Westmoreland county, the home of Washington, Mason, Monroe, and the Lees. Here we were cordially and eloquently welcomed by the commonwealth attorney, Mr. Baker, and Dr. Beale, D. (both white); and Rev. Henderson. Fredericksburg was our last stop, at which place we held a glorious meeting. Major Moten was the principal speaker at each of these meetings. However, it was arranged that each man spoke at least twice during the campaign, some speaking at every The matter of education was well taken care of by Prof. W. T. B. Williams, agent of the Slater Fund, and Prof. John Hope. These meetings greatly stimulated the man and women who are assiduously working away on the big job of human lift.

The Bee would like to ask the colored men who left the republican party and supported the democratic ticket whether they have accomplished anything? It is true that many of the leading democrats have gone to the bad since the induction of the democratic administration in power. But, take those who are not hoping against fate and have kept faith with the democratic party, is there any hope for them? Mr. Howard, the deputy democratic marshal in the United States branch of the police court, a highly educated colored democrat, continues to pin his faith on this broken democratic reed. There are others like him. Bishop Alexander Walters, the leader of colored democracy, continues to hold out hope for his democratic hopeless braves. The democratic administration has been in power almost three years and not a representative colored man who allied himself with the democratic party has been appointed by this administration. In the District of Columbia, with a population of almost one hundred thousand colored people, they refuse to appoint a colored man on the police force, and neither has a colored lady been allowed to enter the local government as a clerk. The republican administration was not any better in this particular. There are a few white republicans in office today just as inimical to the colored citizens as a southern democrat. These white republican hypocrites are not only dangerous to the country, but a menace to both the democratic and republican parties. These hypocritical white republicans in office are catering to the democratic administration. They may succeed in holding out for a time, or until their true hypocrisy is found out by the democratic administration. Let us reason: Has colored democracy been improved under the democratic administration? Let colored democracy reason, think and conclude. THE PAGEANT. THE PAGEANT. The presentation on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings of next week of the pageant, "The Star of Ethiopia," at the American League Base Ball Park in commemoration of the adoption of the 13th amendment abolishing slavery is an event of unusual significance. The pageant itself will call to mind the great deliverance of the race from the house of bondage. This is a fact of great historical and spiritual significance. In the Hebrew scriptures the Israelites are commanded to keep in everlasting remembrance their deliverance from Egyptian bondage. They have obeyed this command by the establishment of the feast of the passover which they have never failed to keep. There are Negroes who, under a mistaken conception of liberty, would discourage all remembrance of the past. The Negro should forget servility, subordination and a sense of racial inferiority, for these undoubtedly are very degrading feelings, and an individual who has them or a race that has them can never achieve any respectable position among human beings. But this is quite a different thing from forgetting a great historical fact, and the lesson which that fact teaches. Another significant fact about the pageant is that it was written by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, whose many intellectual achievements have reflected great credit on the race. Here, in this pageant, Dr. DuBois visualizes, presents to the sense of seeing the concrete facts upon which the Negro should base his race pride. It is one thing to say, "I am proud I am a Negro," and quite another thing to give reasons for such pride. Dr. Du-Bois not only gives the reasons, but presents in living, moving array, visible to the naked eye. We do not see how any man, woman or child can afford not to attent at least one of the performances at the ball park, and, if possible; more than one. A GET-TOGETHER MEETING OF BAPTISTS. Get-Together Meeting of all the Baptist Pastors and Churches in Washington and the District of Columbia will be held in Metropolitan Baptist Church, Rev. M. W. D. Norman, D.D., pastor, R street, between 12th and 13th streets northwest, at 3:30 P. M., Sunday, October 10, 1915. Every Baptist pastor, ordained minister, licensed minister, deacon, trustee, Sunday school officer and teacher, and every officer of the B. Y. P. Unions, and the C. E. Societies, together with every other member of every Baptist Church in Washington and the District of Columbia is cordially invited and urgently requested to attend this meeting and join in making plans for the holding of a Capital-wide evangelistic campaign to begin the latter part of October and run for two weeks. Revs. Drs. Richard Carroll and C. Leroy Butler of South Carolina, two of the greatest evangelists in the race; will be present and address the meeting at Metropolitan. This meeting and the Proposed Evangelistic Campaign have the approval and support of the Baptist Ministers Meeting of Washington and Vieinity and of the great Southern Baptist Convention. Full particulars will be made known at the meeting. Let every Baptist in Washington attend this meeting and use this opportunity to break down prejudice between the races and to win Washington for Christ and the Baptists. J. Milton Waldron, Secretary Protem. LOUISIANA G. O. P. New Orleans, October 6.—The republican party of Louisiana in convention here yesterday virtually eliminated the negro from its ranks, when the delegates met in the convention hall of a hotel, inaccessible to negroes, organized a state central committee and elected all white committeemen to serve terms of four years each. It was announced the party would have no ticket in the field when the general election is held in April, but that John M. Parker of New Orleans, progressive candidate for governor, would be supported. The negro branch of the party will organize and send a delegation to the next republican convention to claim full recognition.—Evening Star Why should the Negro worry? If he is not wanted, why shed any tears? Let him go where he is wanted. It makes The Bee's words true. There are some white-livered republicans as bad as some black hearted democrats. Witness the Catholic parade Sunday and take a lesson from it.—Ed. THE CATHOLIC PARADE. The Holy Name Society of the Catholic Church will parade Sunday afternoon. This is the only parade of a religious nature occurring in this city in which all of the little ones of Christ are represented. Those who witness it will see all races in line, and standing up for the abolition of vulgar and profane language and the taking of the name of God in vain. Everybody of every race is interested in the moral uplift that comes from using chaste language and thinking pure thoughts. The Catholic Church is careful to guard the morals of all her children, and in matters religious draws no color line. Because one man marches in the same procession with with another, or bows at the same altar, does not mean a physical union of blood. It does mean, however, cooperation for moral and civic ends. In these matters the Catholic Church is in the lead of all other sects. The Negro should keep his eyes open and learn to judge a tree by the fruit it bears. CHAPIN BROWN, ESQ. The Republican National Committee met in this city last year. It was decided to cut down southern representation. Senator Borah of Idaho made the fight against the District of Columbia and was about to be successful in cutting down representation in the District of Columbia. Mr. Chapin Brown made the fight against it and saved the day for the republicans in the District of Columbia. Senator. Borah is the gentleman who voted with the southern democrats to stop African emigration to America. Nothing he does surprises The Bee. The Republican National Con- vention will be careful as to the next republican nominee. Because a man is labeled republican is no evidence that he will be supported by the colored voter and certainly he will not support a democrat who is inimical to his interests. Certainly the colored citizen cannot be treated any worse than what he is being treated now. WARE'S DEPARTMENT STORE. Fall Opening—Mr. Ware In Full Charge—No Longer Tied. Up with Uncle Sam—Will Soon Have an Anniversary. The Ware Department Store at 1832 Fourteenth street northwest has begun business for the Fall under most favorable conditions. Mr. Ware is no longer with Uncle Sam. He has divorced himself from that institution, and has decided to cast his destiny with his people in an up-to-date department store. This is the only big business enterprise that has ever been a success in this city. This department has added a great number of new attractions. The Female Department is conducted and managed by Miss Green, no doubt an enterprising and competent saleswoman and manager. In this department will be found all kinds of women's garments. The Men's Department The Men's Department contains everything that is necessary for men. Before going elsewhere you should call at this store and be convinced. If Mr. Ware hasn't it, it is not in the market. He can fit the hard to fit. He gives a guarantee with every purchase. 100,000 colored people in this city, just think of it. The Bee is confident that the people are anxious to see 50 clerks in this department before the beginning of next year. This can be done if the people will do their duty, which the Bee believes they will. Let the people visit this store and inspect the Fall goods before going elsewhere. The way to help your boys and girls after they graduate from the Business High School is to tell your friends and neighbors to purchase goods from this department store. There is not a more affable and more businesslike man in this city than Mr. Richard Ware. This store has everything that almost every department store has. By the middle of next year this store will be the greatest negro department store in the United States. Let the people encourage their children to patronize their own when they can consistently do so. Go to this store to day and inform Mr. Ware that the Bee invited you to call and see him. Let every citizen be a patron of this new Colored Department Store. 1832 Fourteenth street northwest. By Annie Laurence Lucas. I'm going to travel on, right on. No matter how folks try.

George Washington Builton Abroad—The Greatest Ovation That Has Ever Greeted a Dramatic Company—New Songs, Costumes and Gorgeous Scenery—Manager Thomas and His Assistants Handled the Great Crowds with Ease. This is a record breaking week at the Howard Theater. The Smart Set Company never in its history received such an ovation as it received this week from the cosmopolitan people in this city. Every night surpassed the other in crowds. The costumes and the scenery are all new. The songs, to some extent, The Bee doesn't thing they surpassed the old songs in sweetness. But they were new and catchy. Salem Tutt Whitney, as George Washington Bullion, was exceptionally good. He is a natural born actor as well as a good play writer. He knows his business. The entire play throughout is hilarious. Mr. Whitney, The Bee would imagine, could produce a melodrama that would startle dramatic circles. Something on existing conditions in this Country. Here is where this distinguished actor could immortalize himself. J. Homer Tutt, as Sam Owen, Bullon's friend. Mr. Tutt is good and makes up well. He reads his lines perfectly. His wardrobe is up to date and his singing is unsurpassed. Miss Blanch Thompson is not only a refined actress but she is catchy. One of the best on the stage. Miss Hattie Ackers is the life of this new play. She is a star of the elements. Her elocution is distinct and musical. Luke Scott plays his detective character in a manner that is pleasing. He assumes five different characters beyond detection. Frank Jackson, as captain of the vesel, is always good. He makes an ideal captain. His singing is fine. Will Dixon plays the part of a smooth article. He is a fine actor. Miss Ethelyn Proctor, who plays as a confederate to Mr. Dixon, is fascinating and smooth indeed. The song that brought down the house was by Mr. Whitney and Miss Ackers, entitled, "Don't Do That to Me, Dear." It is an up-to-date song, and the author, Mr. Whitney, is to be congratulated. The scene leaving Old Kentucky for Liberia and the ship wreck are most as realistic as one would desire to witness. The artist that painted those scenes should be given a medal, because no artist of this day can surpass him. These scenes alone are worth double admission to the show. Those who have failed to see this company should do so if they can obtain admission tickets. Miss Jennie Hillman, who is well known to the people in this city, designed the costumes worn by this company. Miss Hillman is not only a genius, but a woman with a level head. She never becomes excited in a battle. She is costumer and designer.

There was a lively time here today. James F. Armstrong, the supervisor, was defeated in his efforts to satisfy his personal spleen. There were many questions discussed by the trustees, namely the Oxen Hill school. It seems that Miss Washington, a daughter of one of the trustees had been appointed in a school elsewhere, but on learning that a vacancy existed at some Oxen Hill, she decided that she would prefer that school. In the mean time another teacher had already been appointed or designated to the school and when she presented herself at this school Miss Washington was on the scene. Trustee Hatton protested against the action of the two rebellious trustees, one the father of Miss Washington and the other who sided with Washington. Armstrong reported the matter to the superintendent who ordered him to go to Oxen Hill and install the right teacher. He arrived at the school bright and early one morning with the intention of installing the rightful teacher. Miss Washington demurred. When the messenger supervisor was convinced that he had struck a wrong snag, he reported his visit to the superintendent. The following Friday the superintendent went over to Oxen Hill and decided in her favor, and from what she said the superintendent promised her a certificate. Mr. Zantzinger, who is chairman of this August body, decided to put Miss Washington out, and appoint another teacher, and then give the lady who had been designated for Oxen Hill a school at Mariboro. R. F. Plummer, who came here to represent a teacher, at Fairmount Heights, was successful in defeating James F. Armstrong and one of his pet trustees, who doesn't know where he stood. The citizens of Prince George's county are making a fight to remove Armstrong, and have a representative board of trustees for Fairmount Heights appointed. The consensus of opinion here is that this is Armstrong's last year. There is a great deal of dissatisfaction against him. His patronizing attitude is disgusting colored people here. All of Armstrong's pet propositions were defeated. He has lost with the people. He never was their choice. WEST WASHINGTON WEST WASHINGTON.

Thomas, Teacher of Psychology and Science, Myrtilla Miner Normal School. To the Citizens of the District of Columbia: Having completed an analysis of the Occupation Statistics of the colored people of the city of Philadelphia for the Public Ledger, September 5, I turned my attention to the conditions in the District of Columbia, for this is an economic age, and pluck, energy and determination can not succeed without skill, industry and economic surplus. It does not take an economist to see that men who handle the symbols of production, transportation and things take the larger share of the profits under present economic conditions, but it does take an economist to point out the fact that such men are endowed and trained to knowledge, and courageously intelligent foresight of market conditions in order to take such profits. All about us in this city are evidences of the upward trend of the economic status of the colored people, but it should not be overlooked that this very trend carries with it a rational dissatisfaction with present conditions, and emphasizes the contrast between those who have improved their standard of living and those who have not. Lacking the example of large industrial and manufacturing plants, we are prone to neglect the element of waste in time and effort in reducing the efficiency of any group or organization, hence it becomes necessary to examine the provisions made for preparing our children and youth to embrace the opportunities which may exist for or which may be made by more accurate knowledge of conditions. It is the proud boast of Washington that its educational advantages for colored children from the kindergarten through the university are not surpassed by any other city in the United States. The colored youth, here, who have aimed to increase their capacity to satisfy such common physical wants as foods, shelter, clothing, metals, clays and drugs as well as their spiritual aspirations through social contact, travel, literature, music and art, by following the traditional curriculum of the older days, have been in the main not disappointed. But the two decades past have witnessed an increasing number who have realized that the traditional curriculum has increased their knowledge of needs and intensified their spiritual aspirations without proportionately increasing their power to satisfy them. Not only have the thoughtful people of Washington begun to realize the inadequacy of the traditional curriculum to prepare all children to meet the demands of an increasingly severe competition for the multiplied needs of modern social life, but all American has been awakened to call loudly for efficiency and economy to result from training and skill to meet the demand of the new era which replaces the older period of exploitation of immense natural resources. The Census of 1910 reports for the District of Columbia, 26,099 colored females and 28,937 colored males engaged in gainful occupations listed as agriculture, manufacturing and mechanical industries, transportation, trade, public service, and clerical occupations, with these again subdivided into eighty-odd activities for males and twenty-odd for females. Of this, number 23,071 colored females, or about 87 per cent of all colored females reported, are engaged in domestic and personal service, in which 7,754, or 98 per cent of all the laundresses not engaged in laundries, 13,062, or about 85 per cent of all the servants, 36, or about 54 per cent of restaurants and lunch-room keepers, 382, or about 55 per cent of all waitresses and 494, or 67 per cent of all laundry operatives, indicate the extent to which the major portion of such domestic and personal service is carried on by colored females. Among the colored males, 7,072 out of the 28,907 reported as occupied, about 24.5 per cent are engaged in domestic and personal service, 71 per cent of all male waiters, or 1,397 out of a total of 1,720, 76 per cent of all male servants, 2,494 out of a total of 3,260, 77 per cent of all janitors and sextons, or 788 out of a total of 1,017, and.95 per cent of all porters (except in stores) or 984 out of a total of 1,035 are colored males. Against these figures, you must place 187 colored females and 1042 colored males engaged in clerical occupations such as bookkeepers, clerks, agents, cashiers, stenographers, etc., etc., and 749 colored females with 638 colored males engaged in professional service such as artists, musicians, teachers, trained nurses, doctors, clergymen, dentists, draftsmen and editors. These two divisions make a combined total of 936 colored females and 2040 colored males occupied in clerical and professional activities. These combined totals are about half as many females as are engaged as dressmakers, compositors and millers (1832) and about as many males as are reported as general laborers (2706). Of the 28,937 colored males reported as occupied, the colored laborers, general and special, constitute about one-third of all colored males occupied. There are 9,673. The laborers on street and road building and repairing are 90 per cent colored males (2,542 out of a total of 2,811). There are 236 colored hack drivers out of a total of 299, and but 133 colored chauffeurs out of 636, yet there are 110 colored blacksmiths out of 637. Considering the growth of the automobile industry and the permanency and increase in the consumption of bakers' products in the District of Columbia and its environs, it is clear that colored males should be trained away from occupations involving horses, and into those activities which, like automobiles and baking, are both permanent and growing, if we would increase the general efficiency of the working men. It is at this point of supply and demand-in industrial and commercial activities that an analysis of occupation statistics in the light of observed industrial and economic conditions, becomes of prime importance in giving trend to the real vocational education and guidance of our youth. An examination of the current advertisements for help, as presented in any daily newspaper, will reveal the demand to be along the line of unskilled and laboring activities, and it is common for an individual to drift into such employment as he can get, with little or no consideration of its permanence or his fitness for other and more remunerative employment for which he might prepare and seek. Suck efforts must be made for our youth by those who have larger vision, clearer insight, and, in fact, such a duty implied in their employment in public or semi-public service. Just as it is common for the more fortunate to look out for the less fortunate of their friends and relatives, so now it becomes imperative for the more favored and better trained to look out for the less favored and untrained, for this is an age of co-operation and social service, in which the cost of charities and corrections becomes a menace to the higher economic efficiency of every man and every family in the country. To increase the taxes and enlarge the subscription lists are not the only ways to meet municipal deficiencies, but there is a large permanent value in increasing the economic productivity of each and every individual. It passes without argument, that the diversified activities connected with domestic and personal service are both permanent and increasing, and that the peculiar kindliness, faithfulness, and domesticity of the average colored male or female, when not improperly trained, fit them naturally for success in such service. And when trained either by such agencies as the State may provide or by experience in families where living has been raised to a fair standard, they are without their equal for such service in American life as now constituted. Existing educational institutions have it as a duty imposed by their social relation to provide adequate facilities for training to increase the efficiency of the great numbers of colored males and females who may and must be engaged in a service which is so essential to the whole life of this and any community, and for which such males and females bring so large an element of natural fitness. The public schools of Los Angeles, California, have a special course for chefs, in which many colored boys and youths perfect themselves for an important and remunerative occupation. In the light of the relation of the home-keeping activities to the progress of the community, as well as in the more specific demand for trained men and women who shall support themselves and their families through the performance of such activities for those who are otherwise engaged, it is clear that complete course in household arts, with sanitation, economy, and dietetics, as well as training in needlework and millinery, must constitute a larger part of American public education beyond the fifth school year, and that added facilities must be provided for those whose ambition and capacities fit them for training in the diversified activities connected with such course, even beyond the eighth school year. There are reported for the District of Columbia but 4 colored commercial travelers out of a total of 336, but 24 insurance agents and officials out of 549, but 91 newsboys out of 242, but 15 colored firemen out of 419 in the fire department, but 5 colored chemists out of 251, but six architects out of 253, but two draftsmen out of 557, but seven agents and canvassers out of 330, but six collectors out of 295, but thirty apprentices out of 1,000 men in diversified trades activities, but 52 colored builders and contractors out of 927, but seventy-four plumbers out of 1,286, but thirteen pressmen out of 796, but 155 tailors, out of 969, two hundred and seventy-seven firemen and one hundred and seventy-four engineers out of 1,559, but twenty-two electricians and electrical engineers out of 968, not one motorman, conductor, or surveyor out of 1,580, fourteen milliners out of 526, eleven tailoresses out of 262, fifteen saleswomen in stores out of 1,466, 1,119 clerks out of 5,044, and 98 trained nurses out of 802. The foregoing distribution of occupations among colored males and females not only refutes the assumption respecting lack of opportunities, but it indicates the lines of opportunity and the activities for which the youth of the race may prepare, and should be prepared by educational agencies, both public and private. Without waiting for the installation of extensive and special equipment for training in the several trades and occupations, and without the expense of additional salaried people, though investment in both of these items will amply repay the State and the race, yet there are numerous situations in every school room any every home for training in neatness, courtesy, promptness, accuracy, reliability, honesty, and the systematic management of time and of things. Economic and industrial success depend fundamentally upon such capacities, and it should be the aim of every American institution to have its children and youth show as high a degree of improvement in such capacities as in the immediate habits and skill of the industry, or the handling of abstract symbols and ideas such as characterize the traditional curriculum. Nothing said of education is final; nor can be, nor will be, for what man must know he may be taught, and what he should know will increase and vary with the times. It in no way depreciates the value of education to point out its inadequacy, but if founded upon careful observation of social trend, such criticism demands a readjustment, for the curriculum of the schools may be regarded as an approved list of reactions in which society requires the pupils to be trained in order to conserve and add to the social gain. The conquest of self in its antisocial aspects and tendencies is essential to the conquest of matter and to successful co-operation in complex modern social life.

New York, N. Y. Oct. 3. — Pastor Russell delivered a forceful and helpful discourse in the New York City Temple, W. 63d St. near Broadway, today. His text was, "Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear. Forget also, thine own people and thy New York, N.Y. Oct. 3.—Pastor Russell delivered a forceful and helpful discourse in the New York City Temple, W. 63d St., near Broadway, today. His text was, "Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear. Forget also, thine own people and thy father's House; so shall the King greatly desire thy beauty; for He is thy Lord, and worship thou Him." (Psalm 45:10.11.) He said in part: Never was there greater need for the Lord's people to remember the words of this text than at the present time. We recognize these words of the Psalmist David as prophetic, referring to the Church of Christ. The Church has been called out during the Gospel Age to be Christ's Bride. The Prophet here pictures the Call of this class, the terms of the Call, and the Bride's preparation for her marriage to the King's Son. The exhortation is that those who have thus become espoused as a virgin to Christ, who have taken upon themselves the covenant of faithfulness, are to be separate from the world. Hence the injunction, "Forget thine own people and thy father's House." Our own people are the human family. Our father's House is Adam's House. By nature we belong to his House: we have a natural interest in his inheritance; and although we have received woeful experiences, through Adam's fall, yet whatever we have as human beings we have received from Adam. Those who are now the Lord's people "were by nature children of wrath, even as others." But something has occurred in our case. We have been called out of this condition, and invited to be "the Bride, the Lamb's Wife."—Revelation 21:2. 9-11; Psalm 45:9. God's Wonderful Condexcension. None of the human family could claim to be worthy of this high exaltation to be the Bride, members of the Christ-company; for neither Jew nor Gentile could keep the Divine Law. Our Lord Jesus was the only one who could keep it; for it is the full measure of a perfect man's ability, and, except Father Adam, there was never a perfect man upon earth but the Lord Jesus. Having kept the Law, He became Heir of all things; and just as a wealthy man might take a beggar for a wife, lifting her up from her degraded condition and making her joint-heir in his inheritance, his name, his honor and his property, so the Lord Jesus is to take a Bride from the fallen human family and make her joint-heir with Himself. We had nothing which would ever entitle us to be taken into God's family, but God has made this way for us through His Plan of Redemption. How wonderful an opportunity for us, that God should choose us to be the Bride of His Son! God has called us with a Heavenly Calling. This choice is being made in harmony with the custom of olden times—as in the case of Abraham and Isaac. Abraham typified Jehovah: Isaac, our Lord Jesus Christ; and Isaac's bride Rebecca, the Church. As Abraham sent his servant to seek a bride for his son Isaac, so God has sent, throughout this Gospel Age, the Message of his grace, by His Holy Spirit. His servant, to seek a Bride for His Only Begotten Son. The promises of God have gone here and there through the world and have acted like a magnet upon certain individuals. The Magnet of God's Truth has been a power that has drawn a certain class, but does not attract others very much. Is God making a discrimination? Yes. There are many whom He does not wish at all for His present purpose. He is not seeking the world now. This statement would have seemed very strained to us once; for we had in mind the idea, handed down from the errors of the past, that whoever did not understand and accept spiritual truths and become a saint during this present life, would have to roast for all eternity. Now we see that God is merely gathering out a special class, that have social characteristics. God uses measures to drive others off. Just as you, if you were drawing tacks to a magnet, would blow off any saw dust that might loosely adhere, so the Lord is causing the winds of adversity to blow upon His Church, in order that any of the worldly who have attached themselves to the Church class may be blown off. But those who are of the true Church will only adhere the closer. Separation of Wheat and Tares. In the parable of the Wheat and the Tares, Jesus shows that in the Harvest time of the Gospel Age He would completely separate the wheat from the tares (Matthew 13:26-43). Not a grain of wheat is to be left amongst the tares, and not a tare is to be left amongst the wheat. There will be such persecutions and oppositions as will make a complete separation and division. The wheat class will be taken out by the Lord and gathered into the garner. The tares will be uprooted from the wheat-field and burned. In other words, in the Time of Trouble they will be shown to be of the world, as they have been all along. There is only one class desired for the Bride class—true Christians. Millions of people are associating together and calling themselves Christians that have not the slightest relationship to God. They are tares. God never authorized these. They did not come into association with the Church through the Doorway. (John 10:1-7.) Some came in because their parents or their frends were in. Some thought that unless they were baptized they would go to eternal torment. In the end of this Age, now present, there is to be a great burning, time. Not the people, but their religious conceptions and affiliations will burn up. "The fire of that Day shall try every man's work of what sort it is." (1 Corinthians 3:13.) Those, who have built with the stubble of human tradition will suffer loss. Their works and their professions will perish. Those who have built upon the sand will be overthrown. But any who have been real Christians "shall be saved so as by fire." Their systems and their doctrines will be consumed in the fire of this Day—a bitter humiliation. These may be assured that their great church systems will suffer complete collapse in the Day of the Lord. They will fall to rise no more.-Jer. 51:38. Terms of Our Covenant Binding. This special class that God has been gathering out for eighteen centuries to be the Bride of Christ have accepted God's terms and have entered into a special covenant with God in order that they might become members of the Bride class. These terms are very positive and definite. In old times, when there was a betrothed, it was usually the father that looked after the contract. This was not a merely verbal contract, but a written one. It was a binding engagement with positive stipulations on both sides. Just so our Heavenly Father, in making the arrangement by which we may come into His family, drew up a very positive, unchangeable contract. It is a condition of full surrender to Him. We give up our own wills. This agreement is more binding than any earthly marriage contract. Those who have become betrothed to the Lord Jesus Christ give up their all to Him. They do not have very much, to be sure. Most of us have very, very little; for not many great, not many wise; not many learned, not many noble, are called. (1 Corinthians 1:23-29.) But association with the One to whom they are betrothed gives these a nobility of character. The wonderful promises of God begin immediately to work in them to will and to do of His good pleasure. It is a transforming work. The Apostle Paul tells us that we are "transformed by the renewing of our minds"—not our bodies. (Romans 12:2.) Our body is the same body that we had before, but we have a new mind. We are New Creatures. All things are new; old things have passed away. (2 Corinthians 5:17.) This makes a change everywhere. We need not go into detail as to what changes it makes. We know, if we are of this class, that "the things which once we loved we now hate." We loved the things that were pure, noble and beautiful in proportion as we were naturally of a noble disposition; but many of the things which once we loved were things of which we cannot now approve. We have received the begetting of the Holy Spirit; and as God's Spirit abounds, in us more and more, we become copies of God's dear Son, our Redeemer, our Head, our Bridegroom. In the case of the Hebrew marriage contract, if the bride-elect was guilty of infidelity to her betrothed bride-groom, the unfaithfulness was punished with death. So if any of us who have made a contract with the Lord should violate that contract and be untrue to the penalty of the Second Death, "If any man draw back," says the Lord, "My soul shall have no pleasure in him." God would not give eternal life to those in whom He has no pleasure. The Apostle Paul says that these draw back to perdition—destruction (Hebrews 10:38, 39.) So the matter is clear before us. We are espoused to a husband. We have taken upon us certain obligations. We must go on now, and make our calling and election sure. We must either gain the reward of everlasting life or else go into the Second Death. Christ's Righteousness Our Covering. Christ's Righteousness Our Covering. Does this mean that if we make slips we shall go into the Second Death? No. One might make unintentional slips of various kinds. Presumably there is no child of God living who has not made such slips. Our imperfections are hindrances to our doing perfectly. "With my mind I serve the Law of God," but with my imperfect body it would be an impossibility. Our great Redeemer, who is our prospective Bridegroom, has made satisfaction for our imperfections. Therefore when we err, we are to go to the Throbe of Heavenly Grace to obtain mercy—mercy with God through Christ. If you and I were perfect, we would not need to go to the Throne of Grace to obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (The news, 411). But as we become developed as Christians, we shall not need to go so often to obtain mercy. As we grow stronger, we grow wiser. But we shall always need mercy as long as we are in the imperfect flesh. The Lord knows of the blemishes of our flesh and of our unsuccessful strivings to overcome; and He has provided us a covering—the precious Robe of Christ's righteousness. So by the Lord's arrangement this Bride class may be eventually received at the wedding. The spotless robe given us at the first 'is the wedding garment mentioned in our Lord's parable. (Matthew 22:11-14.) Clad in this precious Robe, we may come in and be participants at the great Marriage, as members of the Bride of Christ. Spots on the Robe—How Removed. The Lord Jesus intimated that some of His disciples will not be ready to go in to the Marriage, because, although they are wearing the robe, they have gotten it besmirched and spotted. We are to keep our garments unspotted from the world. Can any one pass through the world and always remain absolutely unspotted? No; that is not the thought. But if those who are in the right attitude of heart should get a spot upon their robe, it will be so grievous to them that they will hasten to remove it. There is only one way to get a spot off from that robe. We must take the matter to the Throne of Grace, and whatever our sin—whether it was temper or what—when our lapse has been acknowledged, the cleansing merit of Jesus' blood is applied; and our robe is spotless again—1 John 17:9. In this way our robe is kept white. We are to keep ourselves unspotted by going to the one who alone can remove such spots and by asking the forgiveness necessary. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." The blood of Jesus Christ, the atoning merit of His sacrifice, cleanses us day by day as we, appreciating our need, come to Him daily to have His blood applied. There is a class, however, who do not keep their robe clean; for any stain upon this robe remains until the proper steps are taken for its removal. There are many Christian people who have not taken these steps, and who therefore have not had the spots removed. Why do they not have these spots cleansed? you ask. There are things connected with that matter which some of you may know about. When first you came to the Lord, full of earnest desire to keep yourself unspoilt from the world, you were very careful about your robe. Oh, how shocked you were at the first spot! You said, "I am a child of God; and oh, what a mistake I have made!" But as time passed and you realized more and more keenly your infirmities of the flesh, you found that you were often overtaken by these weaknesses; and you were so humiliated thereby that you were tempted to remain away from the Throne of Grace, the Mercy-Seat provided by the Lord for this very purpose. But if you were a true disciple of Christ, you conquered this feeling and went to the Lord to have the spots removed. For Caraless Christians Reckoning Near But a great many Christian people have not been faithful in this respect and are being deceived; and a reckoning time is at hand. They have doubted the Lord's mercy or else have been careless of their covenant; and they are not living close to the Lord. Their lives are unsatisfactory, to themselves and to God. They will not be of the Bride class. Nobody whose robe is covered with spots will be received into the wedding as a member of the Bride of Christ; for the Bride must be "without spot or wrinkle or any such thing." (Ephesians 5:25-27.) Only thus could she be presentable to the Heavenly Bridegroom. "There will be weeping and grashing of teeth" amongst the foolish virgins when the door to the wedding is shut. (Matthew 25:10-12.) Many will be disappointed in this Day of Christ. Where shall you and I be then? I hope that we shall make our calling and election sure; that, knowing the terms, we shall keep our garments unspotted from the flesh, from everything that is contaminating. There is a peculiar beauty about a pure white robe. A robe spotted all over would not look very attractive, nor would a robe all wrinkled. The King will greatly love and appreciate those who are in a sportless condition. "Forget also thine own people and thy father's House." The temptations to wrongdoing, to disloyalty to our covenant with the Lord, come largely through relations with our own people. It is very trying to endeavor to do two things—to keep on good terms with the world's people and with the Lord—at the same time. To do so is an impossibility. This is where the Great Company class make their failure. They fear what their acquaintances and neighbors will say. They do not care to be considered peculiar. But we are not to be ashamed of the Truth or of the brethren or of reproach for Christ—Matthew 10:32, 33. "So shall the King greatly desire thy beauty." This is a beauty that dwells in the heart, a beauty of character. Every Christian should see to it that he is growing daily in grace. In all the true Body of Christ there is a growth in the Lord's Spirit, a growth in love. This is the beauty that our Bridegroom desires in His Bride--this beauty of character--likeness to Himself. We desire this in ourselves. We wish to see our minds and hearts opening more and more widely to take in the interests of others, especially our brethren of the Body of Christ. Those who prove faithful unto death shall receive glory, honor and immortality. "They shall walk with Me in white" says our Lord Jesus; "more they are worthy."

While we are certain that Ellijah typed the Church in the flesh, we may not be quite so positive that Elijah represented a secondary class of God's people, the "foolish virgins" etc. (Matthew 25:13; 13:18; Psalm 45:14, 15; Revelation 7:9-17). The sons of the prophets may also be types. If so, they seemingly represent a third class, acquainted S with Elijah and Elisha, yet not particularly, associated with them. They knew that Elijah expected to go; but their own doubts on the subject are intimated by their subsequent search to see whether Elijah had fallen somewhere, dropped by the whirlwind. This represents that for some time certain classes of Christians may doubt that the Church has gone to glory, but that afterwards they are thoroughly convinced. Possibly the three days of search may represent three years. Elijah Not Gone to Heaven. Much Bible study of the past has been superficial. Certain teachings and creeds being accepted as true, the Bible has been studied with a view to confirming the traditions of the past rather than to challenging their accuracy. Careful study reveals that throughout the entire Old Testament not a word is said about anybody's going to Heaven—except in Elijah's case and in the statement that God took Enoch. The Bible indicates distinctly that no offer of Heavenly life was possible until after Jesus' death as man's Redeemer. 2-Timothy 1:10. Jesus was the very first to pass from earthly conditions to Heavenly conditions by His resurrection change. (1 Peter 3:18.) The Church has the promise of a similar change. The Ancient Worthies cannot be of the Church class; but theirs will be an earthly blessing. (Hebrews 11:38-40; James 1:18; John 3:15; Acts 2:34.) To three of His Apostles our Lord gave a special vision of His coming glory. What they saw was not actuality, but a vision, as Jesus declared. -Matthew 17:9. Gilgal-Bethel-Jericho-Jordan. Eilish knew of Eiljah's expectation of translation; and, with that in view, they had traveled to Gligal. But the Lord sent Eiljah on to Bethel. Eiljah's suggestion that Eilsha tarry at Gligal implied that Eilsha had lost faith in the journey. The same thing occurred at Bethel; and they went to Jericho. then to Jordan. Crossing the Jordan, they still went on. Applied antitypically to the Church, Gligal seemingly represents the beginning of the Harvest, Oct., 1874. That date, prominently marked in the Bible (Daniel 12:12), was looked forward to by many Bible students as the possible time when the Church would be completed—although nothing in the Bible so declares. Some measure of disappointment was felt when expectations were not realized. Nevertheless, the Ellijah class went on, accompanied by as many others as were. accounted worthy of being of the autotypical Ellijah class. A Experiences in Bethle were, similar- Spring of 1878, the time parallel to our Lord's assuming His kingly or- The first chariot and our Lord's assuming His kingly office in the end of the Jewish Age. (Luke 13:34, 35.) On they went to Jericho—Oct. 1881, paralleling the date when the door was thrown open to the Gentiles. (Acts 10:45.) The next Scriptural date was Oct. 1914—the close of the Gentile Times, corresponding to Jordan. Many Bible students are thoroughly convinced that that date marked the end of God's lease of world power to the nations; that the present war is the result; and that its ultimate conclusion will be the complete overthrow of all kingdoms and the full establishment of Messiah's Kingdom. Bible students are going on, but not headed for any particular date; even as Elijah and Ellisha went on, waiting for the Lord to take Elijah in His own time and way. The fiery charlot and the whirlwind seem to signify that the Elijah class will be involved in very fiery trouble, persecutions, and thus separated from their fellows. But prophecies are generally understood only after their fulfilment. For a detailed explanation, address Bible Students, Monthly, Brooklyn, N. Y.
