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.

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.

J., Sept. 26... i" Speaking on “The Negro Problem’ r|at the morning service yesterday in >|the First Presbyterian Church, ‘the | pastor, Rev. Dr. H. H. MeQuilkin, {said the solution would be a uniform »| system of ‘treatment for white and s|black races. “We must be as. honor- -Jable and as fair and as kind to the -|black man‘as to the white man,” he | sald. : :}_ Dr. McQuilkin, ‘who recently came ‘|from’ California, took his text from John {v:9, “Now Jews have no deal- ings with Samaritans.” | “One person out of every nine in || the ‘United Stetes is a negro,” he said. “That 1s, there are ten millions of these colored ‘people in America to- | day. 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.nego a fair ‘and peaceable and happy life. It is one of the most difticuit problems we face as.a nation. "Two" peoples, alien to each other in origin, color, "custom and culture can never find {t éasy and natural to live comfortably together. |; “The problem, at least as far as its immedfacy {s-concerned, has been oc- castoned not by the colored man, but by the white man. Booker T. Wash- ington, the Moses of the négro race. in America today, states that occasion in these significant words: “The negro race {s 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 Jindotencs and greed. Nortl: and South alike joined in that “special {nvita- |tion,” allke paid the price of its retri- bution in treasure and in the blood of their sons in the. civil war, and alike handed down to their posterity the obligation to atone, by just treat- ment, 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 standarization.

In the last }{analysis our own individual traits and "| prepossessions are the standards of \;measurment in determining what is -/“alien”.and what is not. ‘| “Phen there is the Illiteracy of the ‘jeolored people.

But are they alone in their arrogance? How about Austrian ar- rogance in Servia that has plunged all Europe irito 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 Aslatics? The negroes have a lot to learn yet about arrogance. rs “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 Jall about them they see the. graft | that goes on among the whites—graft, | political and commercial. é | “But some one points to. the licen- }|tiousness of the negroes.

In 9 uniform: sys tem: of treatment for both races ‘That is to say we must be aa, honor able and as fair and as kind to the lack man as to the white man. Wé must educate the negro, They: must be trained to think and to judge anc to work with their hands. Today there are 100 newspapers published ‘by negroes. There are’ 60,000 negrc men in the, learned” professions—th¢ law, the ministry, medicine and_the teaching . profession today. Fifty years ago there wastn’t one. “Then the negro must have a fait 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 insur- ance companies under colored man- agement today, 20,000 groceries,. 300 drag stores and sixty-five bands. The assessed valuation of property owned by negroes in this country has -in- creased’ in the last fifteen years from seventy. million to two hundred and Seventy-three. million. dollars. They Lave 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 negrd, just because he is a negro fs black, too—only his is inside. Then some one parade the boogaboo of negro ambition for inter- marriage 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 haif as anxious to marry into the white race as we may imagine. There is no good reason -to become panicy.on this score. ~ Another thing we've: got to do is to give the colored peopie the”pro: tection and rights under the law that we claim: for ourselves. We cannot have “due process” for white crim, nals and “lynch law;’ for colored -cri minals, ie 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 else will be defective and ineffectual. 1 once heard an eloquent colored bishop ‘exclaim: “God -has shown. what He can do in ivory; let us give Him a chance te show what He can do in ebony.”: 1 agree with him.

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. To place obstacles in my path, I've learned to step quite high; This "noise," "You're great and doing fine." Is just a game of "con"; It doesn't hinder, and not help. For I'm going on, right on. You say, "You may not get so far," That's left with "fate" and "will" How-far I go; but this I'll know, That I have not stood still I do not seek to walk rough shod O or fellow creatures, no; I do not seek to walk rough shod O or fellow creatures, no; I do not seek to walk rough shod O or fellow creatures, no; While traveling I'll send out thoughts To help uplift mankind; This selfish brooding, nursing woes.

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. The Bee extends its congratulations to Mr. James Vaughn, who produced the Smart Set Company; assisted by Mr. Whitney and Mr. Tutt; Manager Thomas and his house manager, Mr. Byers, and the Thomas brothers and the gentleman at the door, who is an adept in his business. The entire Smart Set Company is entitled to the highest praise, especially the chorus and other particular parts, which space will not permit The Bee to specify. Synopsis of Scenery. Act 1. Scene 1.

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.

Psychology and nal Scho myrtle \ Miner Normal School. © To the Citizens of the District of Col- umbia: . J Having completed an analysis of the Occupation Statistics of the col- ored people of the city of Philadelphia for the Public Ledger,-September 5, I turned my attention to”-the condi- tions in the District of Columbia, for this 1s an economic age, and pluck, energy and determination can not suc: ceed without skill, industry ‘and econ- omic surplus. It does not take an economist to see that men who hahdle 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 en- dowed and trained to knowledge, and courageously intelligent foresight - of market conditions in order to take such ° profits. 2 All about us in this city are evi- dences 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 ra- tional dissatisfaction’ with present conditions, and emphasizes the con- trast ‘between thoge who have im- proved their standard of living and those who have not, Lacking the ex- ample of large industrial’ and manu- facturing plants, we are prone to neglect the element of waste in timé 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 ’ac- curate knowledge of conditions.’ It is the proud boast of Washington that its educational advantages ’ for colored children from the kindergar- ten 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, litera- ture, music and art, by following the traditional ‘curriculum of the older days, have been in the main not dis* appointed. But the.two decades past have wit- inessed an increasing number who have realized that the traditional curricu- Jum has increased their knowledge of needs and intensified their spiritual aspirations without ‘proportionately {ncreasing their power to satisfy them. 5 Not only have. the thoughtful people of Washington begun to realize the in- adequancy of the traditional curricu- Jum to prepare all children to meet the demands. of an ‘increasingly se- were 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 whioh re- places the older period of exploitation of immense natural resources. = The Census of: 1910 reports for the District of Columbin, 26,099 colored females and 28,937 colored males en- gaged in gainful occtipations.listed as agriculture, manufacturing and me- chanical industries, transportation, trade, public service, and clerical oc- cupations, 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 feinales 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, 86, or about 54 per cent of restaurants and lunch-room’ keepers, 382, or about 55 per cent of all wait- resses and 494, or 67 ‘per cent of all Jaundry operatives, indicate the extent to which: the major portion:of such domestic and personal service is car- ried on by colored femates. Among the colored ‘males; 7,072 out of the 28,907 reported as occupied, about 24,5 per cent are engaged in do- mesti¢ 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 oc- cupations such as bookkeepers, clerks, | agents, cashiers, stenographers, etc., etc., and 749 colored females with 633 colored males engaged in professional service such as artists, musicians, ' teachers, trained nursés, ' doctors, ‘clergymen, dentists, ‘draftsmen and editors.’ These two divisions make a gombined total of 936 cofored 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 mil- liners (1832) and about as. many males as are reported as general laborers (2706). Tee a nn GRR sa tn SN industrial and ‘economfc conditions, becomes of ‘prime. importance in giv- ing trend to the real vocational educa- tion and guidance of our youth. An examination of the current, advertise ments for help, as prosented in. any dally newspaper, will reveal the de mand to be slong the liné of un- skilled and laboring activities, and it ig common for an individual to drift {nto such employment as he can get, with little or no ‘consideration of its permanence or his fitness for other and more remunerative employ- ‘ment 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 employ- ment in public or semi-public service. Just as itis common. for the more fortunate to lgok out for the less for- tunate 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 un- trained, for this is an age of co-opera- tion and social service, fn which the cost of charities’ and corrections be- comes a menace to the higher’ eco- nomic efficiency of every man and |every ‘family in the country. .To in- crease the taxes and enlarge the sub- scription lists are not the only ways to meet municipal deficiencies, but there is a large permament 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, faithful- ness, and domesticity of ‘the average ‘colored male or female, when not im: properly. trained, fit them naturally for success in such service. And when trained elther 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 so- cial relation ‘to ‘provide adequate facilities: for training to increase the efficioncy 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 ang 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 occupa- tion. - \In the Tight of the rélation of the home-keeping activities to the prog réss 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 tioke who are otherwise engaged, it §s clear that complete course in house- hold’ arts, ‘with sanitation, economy, and dietetics, as well as. training in ‘needlework. and millinery, must con- stitute a_ larger ‘part of American public education : beyond the . fifth school year, and that added facilities must be provided for those whose am- bition and: capacities fit them for training in the diversified ‘activities connected with such course, even be- yond the eigiith school year. |: There are reported for the, District fof Columbia but 4 colored ‘voramer- elal travelérs 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 archi- tects, out of 253, but two draftsmen out. of 557, but seven agents and can- vassers out .of 330, but six collectors out of 295, but thirty apprentices out of?1,000 men in diversified trades ac- tivities, but 52 colored builders ‘and contractors: out .of 927, but. seventy- four plumbers out of 1,286, but thir- teen pressmen’ out of 796, but 155 tailors, out ‘of 969, two hundred ‘and seventy-seven ‘firemen and one hun- dred and seventy-four engineers. out of 1,559, but twenty-two electricians and electrical engineers‘ out of 968. not one motorman; conductor, or sur- veyor 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 owt of 802. The foregoing distribution of occu- patios among colored males and females not only refutes’ the assump- tion ‘respecting lack of opportunities, but it indicates the lines: of opportun- ity 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 installa. tion of extensive and. special equip- ment for training in the several trades and oteupations, and without the ex-| pense of additional salaried people, though: investment in both of ' these: items will. amply repay the State and the race, yet there are numerous situ- ations.in every school room any every home for training in neatness, cour- tesy,° promptness, accuracy, rellabill- ty, honesty, and the systematic: man- agement of time and of things.

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." ELIJAH'S FIERY CHARIOT Elijah's Chariot and Ascant Typical. Elijah and All the Prophets Still Aleep—They Cannot Receive Their Reward Until After the Church Has Been Glorified in First Resurrection. Transfiguration Scene—Significance of Elijah's Journey and Four Stops. "In Thy presence is fulness of joy; at Thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore." —Psalm 16:11. ELIJAH'S greatest prophecy, that of his life, was not understood, even though subsequently the Ellijah the Prophet before the coming of the great and terrible Day of the Lord." (Malachi 4:5). This antifysical Ellijah, beginning with Jesus in the flesh, has been coming and giving his message to the world for more than eighteen centuries. We believe that Ellijah's taking away is about to be fulfilled as respects the Church in the flesh. As St. Paul says, they will meet the Lord in the air, the realm of spiritual control of earth.—1 Thess. 4:17. 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.
