FAIRNOUNT HEIGHTS
FAIRMOR
This has been an excellent week in this section. The fair that is going on in the ball, and the teachers instil- tion, keeping the people busy.
tute are keepin' the fair opened last Monday night with a fair crowd. The fair committee is composed of Mr. C. W. Lewis, chairman; and one of the hardest workers in this section, Mr. J. S. Q. Charli, assistant chairman; M. S. J. M. Cropper, secretary; and R. A. Tilghman, treasurer. This committee is known as the Fire Engine, Committee of Fairmont. The principal work is being done by the women with the assistance of the more patriotic men, namely Mr. Marshall who has done more than any other male citizen in this section. The fair last Monday night was opened by Attorney W. Calvin Chase. He was followed by Mrs. Charles Lewis, who briefly and plainly told the people what they hadn't done to secure the Engine. Mrs. Lewis was frequently applauded. She assured her hearers that she intended to have the Engine if it took ten years. She was frequently applauded. Everybody enjoyed the fair and great credit is due the ladies in charge.
TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.
TEACHERS INSTITUTE
The teachers institute opened Monday morning. Superintendent Burroughs was introduced and addressed the teachers. Mrs. W. Justine Wilks read a paper entitled: how to secure discipline. In the afternoon session Prof. A. C. Newman and Prof. G. C. Wilkinson made excellent and instructive addresses to the teachers.
Not a white member of the Prince George. faculty was present to listen to any of these excellent addresses. Those gentlemen's addresses would have been an eye opener to any of the white school faculty in Prince George's-County. The Bee mentions the assertion that there is not a white teacher in Prince George's-County or in any of the Maryland schools could give better instructions in their respective work than what they gave last Tuesday afternoon
DR. MOTEN ELECTRIFIES.
DR. MOTEN ELLE
There was quite a large audience present in the evening. Rev. F. A. Schwallenburg, the Catholic priest and pastor of St. Margaret's Catholic church, and Rev. W. A. C. Hughes failed to put in their appearance. Dr. Lucy Moten, principal of Normal school No. 2, of Washington, electrified the people in her address. She had a most charming personality. Her address was illustrated by a chart, and the plain manner in which she addressed the teachers could not have been any more than a benefit to them. Her remarkable demonstrations are fully set forth in these double column tables. It is a history in itself, and beneficial to every teacher. No teacher should have missed the address closed Wednesday with an address by Prof. Thomas Turner, of Howard University, and W. W. Jones M. D., entitled How to Detect Simple Diseases Among the Children. Address by Prof. Charles M. Thomas of Normal No. 2.
Normal school No. 10
Superintendent Burroughs said in his address that he gave no instructions to teachers, that they must take notes and send them to him. Many of those whose names appeared upon the program failed to put in an appearance, and neither did they send letters of excuse or apology. There was not the same enthusiasm and interest as heretofore manifest among the teachers. Outside influences were consulted about the program. Teachers of Prince George's county would like to be consulted when they are to appear before their superintendent. They all respect him and the school commission. One of the trustees remarked, among other things, that he would not stand for ill treatment of a teacher by any one, and if he was even convinced that a supervisor attacked a teacher unjustly he would be as bitter against him as he has been for him. There is not that free and easy and joyful time enthusiasm that. That old best speech, as the Bee said, was delivered by Dr. Lucy Moten, the full text is in the digest below.

There is to be no clash of presidential booms between Senator John W. Weeks and Governor-elect Samuel W. McCall of Massachusetts. It had been thought that Mr. McCall's recent victory would make him a likely "favorite son" candidate in the Bay State. The indications now are that Mr. McCall will stand aside for Senator Weeks, whose boom already may be considered to have gained consider to headway.

"The election in Massachusetts," continued the senator, "was a very great victory indeed for the Republican party. Mr. McCalls election was particularly important, and was the most significant thing in the victory because he had certain local issues to meet which made the contest for him a hard one.

This League, which started in 1908 on a protest against the Brownsville discharge and won most fame by its protest against Federal segregation and the face of a Southern Democratic president who broke his pledges, believes that this real 50th anniversary year of freedom should end with a civic observance by means of a great National meeting, together in conference of the Colored people of this country.
This 8th annual meeting will be held Dec. 15-16, in the beautiful Allen A. M. e. church, pastored by the militant race champion, Rev. W. S. Carpenter. All Colored Americans, who will, whether they are members of this particular league now or not,

Three troops from the Satterlee
House went for a long hike on Thanksgiving day. They were joined enroute by a troop from the Mott Playground, a troop from Mt. Pleasant, and a troop from the Social Center at No. 18 L street southwest. After visiting the headquarters of the Fairmount Heights troop under Mr. J. W. Washington, where they received a treat worthy of a scout, they started home, and after a 16 mile hike were thankful to get a little rest.

INDUSTRIAL HOME
FOR COLORED WOMEN.
An Effort Being Made for Such an
institution in Charleston. Similar
to Y. W. C. A. Will be Named in
Memory of the Late Dr. Mattie V.
Lee.
Lee.
Representative colored people of Charleston interested in a movement to secure for the young women of their race an Industrial Training Home similar to Young Women's Christian Association institutions, have issued the following statement of their needs and desires:
and desires.
"The effort among the colored people of Charleston to establish the Mattie V. Lee Industrial Home marks an event the purport and effect of which can be only inadequately estimated at present; for there never was a time when the community could see the appropriateness of such a work more clearly than now. Those of us who have made a sociological study of local affairs are impressed with the necessity of answering the demands of the hour.
"The women and girls of Charleston constituting, as they do, so large a proportion of the domestic help, are entitled to our unselfish and conscientious consideration. Dr. Mattie V. Lee was one of our most representative citizens. She labored untiringly among the people for social betterment not once hesitating to discuss class or creed; and when she became convinced that her earthly career was drawing to a close, she fervently ex pressed the regret that she had no
been able to do more in a tangible manner for the women and girls of her city, but still hoped that some way might be opened whereby their needs might be adequately supplied. It seems, then, most appropriate that an institution destined to carry out much of the idea she had in mind should be named in honor of one who stood out prominently as a woman of good deeds.
good women.
The purpose is to offer to colored women and girls that advantages and protection of a well-ordered Christian home, open alike to all, regardless of religious persuasion, following along the same line as a Young Women's Christian Association Home.
Christian Association Provision is also made for those who come as strangers to Charleston that they may, at a nominal cost, secure lodging and meals for either a transient or permanent period.
transit.
Such persons would also be helped to find suitable employment, and protected against the many dangers and snarls to which the homeless young woman is exposed in every large city. In answer to urgent demands, real or imaginary, young women are coming here from all parts of the country in steadily increasing numbers. They constitute a large proportion of the following of every church. It is obviously, then, the duty of the churches to serve, in so far as they are able, the social and industrial needs of this large and important element of its constituency.
A school of domestic training conducted in rooms especially equipped for this purpose, is receiving immediate attention. The aim is to meet the needs of women in domestic service who wish to become more proficient in the domestic arts. Plain and fancy cooking, the preparation and serving of special meals, the proper care of the home and allied topics are among the subjects of this department
The teachers in charge of these classes are specialists in their professions, each having had thorough technical and practical experience.
The Home, again, will serve as a social center for women, and will be so equipped as to offer ample and varied facilities for rest and recreation; also being supplied with carefully selected books and magazines, daily papers and the leading journals of the race, it will be a most desirable meeting place for various organizations among women, both religious and social
and social. The institution will be maintained by persons who agree to meet the requirements of membership, by an Executive Board, and an honorary Advisory Board.
ACTION
The finances will be secured by annual dues and public subscriptions. The management believes that it will be a matter of only a short while when the Home will be self-sustainable. We need to be abundantly thankful for the liberal cooperation given by our own people, and the readiness with which our white friends are aid- ing us in this enterprise.

The president called on Editor Chase (or rather comrade Chase), to say a few words. Well, he said something, and those that were sitting at home, or at some one else home, missed a treat (deed you did). Then the President asked for short talks from numbers present.

PROF. ADAMS THANKES.
The Embassy at Washington has bestowed an honor on a colored man; Wellington A. Adams, for a recent poem written by him entitled "Who Cares for the Orphans?" which was dedicated to the American branch of the "Orphelliviat des Armies" with headquarters in Paris, France. A personal letter from the embassy written and signed by the French Ambassador's wife Mme. Jusserand, assuring the author of their gratitude, states further: "I have no doubt that your words so full of feeling will inspire a like sympathy in those who read them."
MR. BRADSHAW.
Aaron. Bradshaw, esq., who has been in New Jersey and New York for several weeks, states that politics in the East has undergone a change, and that democratic policies and the record it has made will return the republican party to power. He has been in conference with the leaders of the party, who convinced him that the Grand Old Party will return to power next year.
PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS
Tuskegee, Ala., Nov. 15, '15. I was returned from Tuskegee. Ala. I was surprised not to see any of the black cabinet that was always in evidence when Dr. Washington was alive. He was faltered then, and could see his noble cabinet when an office was in sight. Men were there who never shared his confidence, and neither did they receive any consideration from him. I saw men there who have at no time shared the confidence of the great educator, but were willing and ready to do for him what others failed to do. What explanation can they give? They have used the dead educator for all intents and purposes, and they knew that he could do them no more good, and their absence from his bier would not be known by the dead Napoleon of Cation. I saw my old friend, James E. Shepard of Durham, N.C. among the mourners. Now he is a man who was a victim of his enmity, but was too noble in mind and body not to pay to his contemporary the last token of respect. Here is a man he could have helped, but he fought, not withstanding his lives to take up the great work where the dead educator left on. I looked for Boston, Mass.; I looked for New York; I looked for Columbia. Tennessee was there in the person of ex-Register of the Treasury J. C. Napier. I could not realize when I looked into the no more. I thought of the time when he stood in Richmond, Va., and in that celebrated speech which cannot be toledged with him; he paid his compliments to the high: standing colored gentleman who stood upon the street corner to await the approach of the colored servant from the white man's kitchen after dark with something to eat for the corner loafer. I thought of the time when he conferred with ex-President Roosevelt, and told him that a certain individual was unworthy to be appointed to office; I thought then of the good he had done to so many individuals who failed to come to Tuskegee and place upon his bier one flower, and express to the dead educator's wife one sentiment of condolence. I am in the midst of eight thousand or more souls. There seems to be no color line here to day. We all bow in obedience to the will of God. Many a sad heart and eyes assemble upon the grounds of the greatest monument in the South, and the greatest to negro civilization. My good friend, Emnett J. Scott, is the best logical man but if I had the control of the board that will name the successor of the dead educator, I would Dr. James E. Shepard of Durham, N.C. is fast coming to be the Tuskegee of Durham. Dr. Sheperd has the diplomacy, the progressiveness, and strength to push Tuskegee to a successful completion. I don't mean to take any credit from Mr. Scott, but I believe firmly and conscientiously that Shepard would come nearer filling the position as successor to Dr. Washington than any other living educator.
I have met several distinguished educators since my stay at Tuskegee. I have been kindly entertained by my friend Mr. Scott and also by Mrs. Washington, who is too full of grief to be herself. The Sage spoke words of cheer to her. The Sage is always willing and ready to do all in his power to make one as comfortable as he can.
But when I looked about me and saw but one of the black cabinet present, I could only say what I have often thought—we need you in life and when we are prosperous only. If Dr. Scott should be the successor of the man who is that he will learn from examples presented to his late chief to solve.
I shall leave to-morrow for home. This is my first visit to Tuskegee, although I have frequently invited by the dead chief. I have often thought had Dr. Washington surrounded himself with men of positive characters, he would have succeeded better. I never thought that he had but one man who had nerve enough to express what he thought. He was certainly the master of his office, the man of Washington. He was level-headed and liberal to a fault. He was honest, no matter what his faults were and the blunders he may have committed. He was a little too high-strung for many, but he was always willing to help the needy. I shall bid Tuskegee a long farewell, because I don't ever expect to visit here again, because I would feel the absence of Dr. Washington from the city that was so dear to him and a monument that he was a lifetime building would recall. He fondly longed for my life. I longed farewell, Tuskegee, and may keep our history fresh and green and place around in violets and evergreen these words:

I. L. U. OF THE WORLD.
Successful Meeting Thursday Night—
Interesting Concluded.
With a Repair.
In the large and commodious parliors of the headquarters of the local branch of the International Liberty Union, last Thursday evening, at 1030 Lamont street northwest, met this great beneficial organization. Long before the hour for the meeting to convene the parliors were filled with members. The meeting was called to order. by Dr. N. T. Pannell, who directed creed to be read in responsive order by Secretary W. G. Hamilton and Mr. R. L. Pannell, field marshal. It recited the sims and duties of the organization, which were highly pleasing to those who heard them. The singing by the organization was the first business in order after it
was called to order. At the conclusion of the reading of the creed, Dr. Pannell introduced as the first speaker Attorney W. Calvin Chase, who was followed by Mr. Charles J. Coles, who made a most sensible and eloquent address. Attorney Thomas J. Calloway was the next speaker, followed by Mr. D. W. Jones, who was followed by Dr. S. M. Pierre, whose address was witty and entertaining, and Mr. Geo. W. Butcher concluded the speech-making for the evening, after which Madame Pannell, who is one of the most pleasing and entertaining hostess in the city, assisted by several members of the organization, passed refreshments.
These meetings are held monthly, and they are largely attended, and the concise and plain manner in which Dr. Pannell stated the object of the I. L. W. of the World will soon convince you that, it is one of the most beneficial organizations in the world for colored people, and especially those of the poor and impoverished. The object of the organization is to protect the well, care for the sick, and bury the dead, as well as it does protect the living. It is the only organization that is a race unit. Dr. S. M. Pierre was made a member.
THE NEW PHYSICIAN
Dr. Claude P. Carmichael Makes His
Initial Bow to His Friends and the
Public—The Young Physician Has
a Brilliant Reception Thursday
Evening.
Last Thursday evening, while a raging storm was penetrating the bodies of the pedestrians, and while the rain was falling two inches deep, Dr. Claude P. Carmichael, who has purchased a most handsome residence at 1324 S street northwest, announced some time ago that he would open his offices at 1324 S street northwest, to which he would invite his friends and the public to come and meet him Thursday evening, November. 18. From 8 o'clock to 12.15 a. m., a stream of invited guests wended their way to his residence, and on their arrival they were ushered to the two dining rooms, one for ladies and the other for the gentlemen on the upper second story floor. They came through wind and rain to do honor to the young and promising physician, who has been well educated in the science of medicine, and has opened a suit of offices in his own house, 1324 S street northwest, where he will now practice his profession.
Texas His Home.
Dr. Claude P. Carmichael was born in Jackson City, Texas. His cousin is Mr. Servus W. Oldham, who lost over twenty thousand dollars during the Texas flood a few years ago. His mother and father, M. J. and J. W. Carmichael, were also born and reared in Jackson Co., Texas.
Young Carmichael was educated in the public schools of Edna, Texas, and graduated from high school in 1855, graduated from the View State Normal College in 1907; entered Howard University medical

NEED OF AERIAL PREPAREDNESS Public Must Interest Itself, Says J. A. Steinmetz.
CHECK SUBMARINE DANGER.
Expert Declares That After Study of Craft an Immense Popular Subscription Should Be Raised—Tells What People of France and Germany Have Done In That Respect.
Philadelphia: In all steps taken to insure military and naval preparedness on the part of the United States the greatest stress should be laid upon the development of the nation's aerial and submarine equipment, according to Joseph A. Steinmetz, president of the Aero Club of Pennsylvania. It is not enough, he asserts, that the president and the secretaries of war and the navy are pledged to a serious program of national preparations for defense, wherein the aerial staff play an important part. The job must do its part. It must stand, the accomaine and the submarine in the task to the showing which these two classes of warfare have made in the war. And this study, it contends, must result in popular subscriptions that will place the United States in a real footing with other nations.
The war in Europe, known that an army might as well do battle without the aid of aerials, as a blind man might try to light. Mr. Steilmetz points out. Realizing this, the French and the Germans built their aeroplane fleets of today largely by public subscriptions and through public interest. "In February, 1912," says Mr. Steilmetz, "soon after the first employment of aeroplanes in the French military maneuvers demonstrated the potentiality of the air service, although the French government failed to allow the appropriations necessary to secure an adequate aeronautical organization for the French army, a public subscription was started.
"In every part of France the people men and women, rich and poor, young and old and of all beliefs and factions united their efforts with the press and political, social, professional and sporting organizations, and all, contributed their share to give France a large aerial fleet. This public subscription brought 6,114,846 francs and gave France 208 aeroplanes, sixty-two landing stations for aeroplanes and seventy-five trained aviators.
"The public interest created by the subscription was tremendous and led to the immediate consideration of the aeronautical needs of France by the government. By April, 1914, the French army possessed 1,200 aeroplanes and twenty-eight dirigibles and most complete and efficient equipment.
"Germany's aeroplane fleet was built almost entirely by the public subscriptions started by the Aerial League of Germany in 1912 which brought 7,234,506 marks. The purpose of the league was to train within the shortest time as large a number as possible of aviation pilots to form a reserve and to encourage the general development of aviation in Germany. Following are some of the results obtained:
"The number of pilots was 230 at the end of 1912. It increased to 600 by the end of 1913. The constructors of aeroplanes were less than twenty in 1912; they increased to fifty by the end of 1913. The developments due to the efforts of the Aerial league led the relchastg to pass a plan providing for an expenditure of $25,000,000 for military aeronauties in the following five years.
"During the first month of 1914 the inducements offered by the Aerial League of Germany led to the breaking by German aviators of all the world records. By the middle of July the nonstop endurance record was carried up to 24 hours and 12 minutes by Reinhold Böhm, and the altitude record to 26,246 feet by Hehrlich Oelrich. "More than 100 other records similar to these were made. For instance, Basser and Landsmann made continuous flights of 18 hours 11 minutes and 21 hours 40 minutes, respectively, in one of which Landsmann covered 1,336 miles. This is the longest distance ever traveled by man in one day. Among the records for altitude was the record of Otto Linnkeogel, of 21,634 feet, which is about the height of Mount McKinley.
"Just as the people in every part of France and Germany united we here in America can do the same."
"The American national aeroplane fund will be used to train aviators, provide aviation corps for the national guard and naval militia of the states and United States possessions and put aeroplanes in use for the mall carrying service to inaccessible places, forming an aeronautical reserve, which, while being used daily for peaceful purposes, shall be ready for military service in case of need."
Killa a Monster Gray Eagle.
Elizabethtown, Ky.-J. E. Walters recently killed a gray eagle on his farm, four miles east of town. The eagle had just previously killed a goose belonging to Mr. Walters, who took part in the aray with a shotgun. The bird measured seven feet from tip to tip of its wings.

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
Several years ago The Bee named Dr. Booker T. Washington as the black cardinal of the south. We have lived to see this prediction more than verified. In this article we propose to name a man who, in the years to come, will be acclaimed by all as more than a cardinal. In a calm and dispassionate manner we wish to discuss leadership, and then to make a prediction. We are conscious of the fact that there are various opinions as to the men best fitted for active leadership, and we are frank to confess if the race or any group of men can name a man or set of men around whom all of us can center, we are ready to join with them and acclaim him a leader in preference to any one we may name.
The Bee must confess, however, to a personal partiality for the leadership of Dr. James E. Shepard, and, as stated above, it is only a question of a very short time when this opinion will be shared by thousands. This is our prediction. Watch it.
Now does Dr. Shepard measure up to the height and breadth of leadership? In the first place he is a real constructionist. Out of nothing, with opposition on every hand, with every avenue closed against him and coming upon the scene when all schools had been firmly planted, he blazoned a way of his own and erected a school founded upon religious ideals, when failure seemed iminent, friend and foe alike predicting it, he clung to his ideal and has practically won out. With all the opposition against him, he has not turned aside to be unkind or to fight back, for as he stated to the Editor, he was on a man's job and must not turn aside for child's play. Is he liberal? We have before us a clipping from a speech delivered a few days ago in Brocton, Mass, and it was this speech which prompted this editorial.
Quoting just a sentence or two, we find these utterances:
"Not a school for the Negroes in the Southland charges more than $16 per month for board, tuition, light, and fuel, and very few charge more than $10 per mo. Just think of it, men and women, only $10 to educate a black girl or boy in the Southland; will you not help Hampton, Fisk, Tuskegee, Atlanta Talladega, The National Religious Training School and scores of other worthy schools in the Southland, to remove the handicap from the black boy or girl, so that they may have a chance in the race of life? I plead for my race."
As we understand it, Dr. Shepard was in Brocton for his own school, but he was big and broad enough to plead for all schools. Such a man is worthy of leadership, and apart from the personal affection which the Editor of this paper has for Dr. Shepard, we are willing to follow his leadership, because he is safe, sane and broad. Now finally, while we do not claim to be so spiritually minded, we are convinced that the education of the future must be such as to change the character of the individual and upon character build the training of the mind or the hand. This is the system for which Dr. Shepard stands, and which every right thinking person must approve.
---
Do not understand me in advocating and naming Dr. Shepard for leadership that I mean to endorse him as principal of Tuskegee. Nothing is farther from my thoughts. There are scores of good men for this place. Scott, Moton, Prof. Hugh Browne, Acting Principal Logan, Dudley and others. In his own line and work Dr. Shepard has more than he can do, but what the Bee knows is this, that the man the White people of the Country both north and south believe best fitted by training and experience to be recognized by them as a safe and sane leader is the man we have named, and in the future as in the past, we will follow.
THE SCANDAL MONGERS
The disgraceful shooting affair on Sunday night which involved the name of one of our most distinguished ministers in the public press, set the tongue of the scandal monger a wagging for the moment. But the unsavory relish rolled under the tongue as a sweet morsel was of short duration. The Post, which printed the seemingly damaging account, had the journalistic fairness to produce in the next issue an explanation of the occurrence which fully exonerated the eminent divine from all blame or improper conduct. The reverend gentleman in question was called last Sunday, to a near-by town in the discharge of his regular clerical duties. While making arrangement to return to the city, he was informed by a prominent member of the local church that his daughter was about to return to the city, and was requested to return with her. Acceptance of this offer was the only normal and natural thing to do. When the destination was reached, an infuriated man opened fire upon them, seriously wounding the woman and also a police officer and an innocent bystander. As soon as the clergyman had overcome the shock and surprise of the occurance, he promptly called upon the police department and laid all the facts of the case before it. On Monday morning he presented the matter to his ministerial brethren and demanded the fullest investigation and exoneration of his character before he would consent to continue to exercise his ministerial function. The Ministers' Alliance, after carefully examining the facts, found him wholly without blame, and voted him worthy of the confidence and esteem which he had hitherto enjoyed: This was all that a manly man could do, or that a high minded community could ask.
This occurrence should serve to impress a deep lesson upon the public mind. Every professional man who constantly goes in and out among the people is likely at any time to find himself entangled in a mesh of embarrassing circumstances. The public mind is too prone to fly at once to a guilty conclusion. A man's reputation is his capital which he spends a lifetime in building up. Great indeed is the condemnation of that type of mind which would tear down in a day that which it requires a lifetime to construct, especially when no good end is served thereby. The sneak thief who snatches a lady's purse for a few pennies does not perform half so dastardly a deed as the scandal monger, who by repeating unfounded rumor and idle gossip impairs the reputation of an upright and honorable man.
MEMORIAL BAIT
The local press of the country has published, within the past few days, an article concerning a memorial or a statue to the late Dr. Booker T. Washington. This scheme was promulgated long before the Dr. was cold. The Bee takes this opportunity to warn the people throughout this country to pay no attention to such a propaganda. It is a scheme to get money from the people without authority of the people. Who gave these individuals any authority to ask for money for a monument to Dr. Washington? Tuskegee Institute, at Tuskegee, Ala., is a monument enough for the work that he has done for his people.
If those self-constituted patriots are really in earnest, why don't they be among the first donors to send their checks to Treasurer Warener Logan of Tuskegee? This check would be more of a benefit to the students than a one thousand dollar monument; two-thirds of which would go for salaries and postage stamps, and that monument would still be waiting to be erected. Dr. Washington left his own monument. He has a living monument at Tuskegee, Ala., while this self-constituted loyal (?) and patriotic self-styled incorporated quasi association wants a stone monument.
I set the American people tell this all-times committee to go to work. We know this will be a very hard winter, and it is not necessary for anybody to remain idle.

Beware of the monument bait.
THE MARYLAND INSTITUTE. The Colored Teachers' Maryland Institute took place this week, beginning last Monday morning: Superintendent Burroughs delivered an address at the opening. It was regretted that he failed to listen to the colored educators who Perhaps if Mr. Burroughs had remained and heard the addresses of those who are mentioned in our Fairmount Heights report, he would have a different opinion of real negro educators. The Bee would have been pleased had the Maryland School Commissioners heard the scholarly address of Dr. Moten, principal of Minor normal school. Her address read like a classic novel. It was full of thought: There is no female in this country, white or black, that has the command of language that Dr. Moten has. She is, indeed, an honor to theducational system in this country. She is to the schools of this city, as books are to a library. Her advice to the teachers last Monday night could not help from being a benefit to them.
"FALLEN LEAVES"
A few months past and all nature, was dressed with the green grass, the blossoming trees, the fragrance of the spring buds, and the chirping of merry songsters. What a change we witness to-day! The frost has, withered the grass, the blasting winds have torn the leaves from the trees, the perfume of sweet flowers is no more, and the birds have sought other regions. We watch the street cleaners as they carry away the fallen leaves in their decayed state, and we are reminded that they were once green and beautiful in symmetry, a comfort to man and beast from the heated rays of the sun and the downpour of rains. So with mankind. "To-day like the grass springeth up, and to-morrow he withers and is cut down." Then comes the preparation for the shroud, and they are carefully and affectionally borne to their last resting place. This ought to be properly done, if you wish it arranged all right.
A MEAN SLUR
A Marlboro paper publishes a mean slur to the findings of the committee that recently heard the complaint of the supervisor against a teacher some time back. The report, as it was read in the presence of those assembled, commended the lady in the highest terms. This continual abuse of worthy and deserving teachers will not help the schools in Prince George's County, Md. If it continues no respectable colored teacher will care to be connected with any school in Prince George's County. The black eye that the institute received this week is an evidence of the estimation in which the promoters are held.
The assistant superintendent of schools in this city, who was booked to speak Tuesday morning, did not make his appearance, and neither did he send a letter of apology for his absence.
WE CAN'T BUT KICK
Against either of these men the Bee knows nothing, and it has no suggestion to offer to the Honorable Board of Trustees as to who would be the best fitted as principal to succeed Dr. Washington; but we do most earnestly protest in behalf of the Negro race against the statement that the man selected will be the leader of the negro race. It is a preposterous statement, and we doubt seriously if the man selected will aspire to race leadership, and if he could command a considerable following if he did. There are several tried leaders now, and no Board of Trustees of any one institution can say this or that man shall be the leader. We can make predictions, but not command. While this Board of Trustees is dictating a leader, what would DuBois, Miller, Bishop Walters, Shepard, and a score of others be doing?
CARNIVAL OF FUN.
Hoffman's Celebrated Band Gets Applause.
What was termed a Carnival of Fun given at Convention Hall, under the auspices of the great Hoffman, Band, Friday last was an immense success. The attendance at the carnival was representative, quite a number of men, women and children, both colored and white being in attendance. In fact it looked as though half of the town had deserted the moving picture theaters for a chance in order to take in the carnival. Many strangers from nearby towns being in the vast audience.
Three special features were booked.
viz. 1st, The Band Concert—2nd, A Revival of the Cake Walk of which their is a rage. Broadway, New York started it. This part introduced Kid Bates' clever team of cake walkers who operate at the big summer resorts, Atlantic City and other coast towns during the summer season. No better exhibition of this popular pastime has ever been in this city as was shown last Friday night. The entire troupe were in full theatrical dress. The audience being the judges, first prize was won by couple No. 6, presentation being made by Mr. Frank Wallace, of Indiana. The 3rd feature of the carnival was the dance, just think, one whole acre of floor space with couple after couple dancing the Tango, Trot, One and Two Steps, Hestitations, a program of the latest dance hits of the day to the music of Hoffman's Band, who by their fine playing and appearance are rated as a top notch musical organization throughout the land. The fun lasted until 2 a.m. Thus the Carnival of Fun is to be an annual affair. CARNIVAL NOTES
Editor Chase together with Dr. Samuel Pierre were very much in evidence—both seemed to enjoy the cake walking of Bates' clever team.
Associated Conductor Frank Trummer of Hoffman's Band was all smiles. He alone paid $28.00 worth of tickets. What a splendid Slide Trombone player he is.
Councellor Armond Scott was there. Did you see Douglas P. Syphax and Will Gaskins?
Telephone calls came for Manager Andrew J. Thomas of the Howard. Robert Brown, Solo Alto, was the second highest ticket seller.
Mr. A. J. Gaskins, our popular business man, held quite a reception with his many friends.
Look at the Howard Medical boys playing in Hoffman Band: Drs. L. W. Booker, A. L. Cromwell, J. C. Gibbs, besides Jas B. Clark, Horace Wallace, Wm. A. Harrison, Vernon Jones, E. D. Jackson, H. W. Dandridge, all of Howard University students.
What a fine Buffet Service. The table service was superb. None other than Moses Dade Bros., of 1216 Pennsylvania avenue northwest. "That's all."
Horace Sedgwick and Horace Hicks, band members, came all the way from Rockville, Md.
Harrison Willis and his auto came very near having to make two trips with Treasurer Bernard Booth and the money bag.
The Bee wishes to commend Capt. Doyle and his able force of men for the manner in which they performed their duty in caring for the numerous crowd in attendance. We note amongst the officers were, Messers, Lester, Ashton, Windfield, Hall, J. H. Thomas, Calhoun and Johnson.
Hoffmans Band goes to, Baltimore, Md., on the night of December 15th, they are under contract to play for Mr. George L. Dent (one of Baltimore's leading citizens); representing the G. U. O. of O. F., of Baltimore. A reception is to be given at the Richmond Market Armory. A general invitation is extended to Washingtonians to be present. The Baltimore and Annapolis electric cars will run from Washington to Baltimore, bringing all visitors back directly after the reception. Entrance to the reception for visitors being only 25 cents. Those desiring to make parties up for the trip should phone or address the Editor of the Bee, 1109 I street northwest, for full particulars.
The committee that helped to make the carnival a success lists J. W. Brown, Chairman, Thos. W. Spriggs, J. Philip Waring, Jno. Henry Davis, Dr. Will E. Hamilton, Prof. J. Henry Lewis, Jos. T. Newman, Phillip A. Dickson, Charles T. Davis, Douglas P. Syphax, W. H. Dabney, Perry Addams, Henry Phillips and Jas H. Carrol.
Never did Convention Hall have better cloak room service. Not a coat cost. The attendants being Mrs. Juliet Hinton G. Davis and Messrs. Hinton and Costin.

The Young People's Lycceum of the Mt. Horeb Baptist Church, Sunday, November 21, was addressed by Mr. C. J. Cole, who is an eloquent and forceful taller. He took for his subject "Love swore one another." Mr. Cole stated a continual confinement of attention to ourselves or to those belonging to us, is only a slight extension of the general love we should show in all things. The soul takes petty proportion, sees with a narrow vision, and is warped to side judgments, and thinks of nothing beyond this life to fasten upon, and self-preservation becomes the end of liv-
3
ing. Religion, through its great power, will even have hard work to save such a life as this, as it is a spirit directly opposite to the charity shown by the life of the lowly Nazarene, as he hung on the cross. Love binds men together. It is childish to talk of 'faith being perfect without charity. Love makes long service short, hard service easy. Nothing is pain that love does; and this is gospel obedience. The commandments are exalted into privileges, and these laws are the happy means of fellowship with God. It is sweet to obey through love, as love knows no reserve, no sacrifices, no bounds, and is its own reward.
The Christian life is a general warfare from beginning to end. God, who has accepted you through Jesus Christ His Son, will uphold you through every trial if you keep your fidelity. But every step you will have to watch and pray, to fear and struggle, and love and obey, else you will find "the old adversary" tempting you with new allurements on every hand. So let us earnestly strive to love one another, live a pure, clean life, obey our conscience, continue in truth; do not be fooled, by false appearance; and by so doing, we will live to meet in the beautiful realms beyond.
DISTRICT REPUBLICANS.
Bulli Moosees Will Elect a Ticket to the Bull Moose Convention—Many Meetings, to be Held—Senator Weeks the Choice of District 'Republicans'
The meeting of the National Committee in December will bring the politicians from all over the country. The local republicans are alive to the situation, and the local politicians are on the alert. Some of the men who have been mentioned as possible candidates on the regular republican ticket are Aaron Bradshaw, W. S. Richardson, Dr. Cabbaniss, Dr. Williston, Dr. W. G. Daniels, and others. The Bull Moose candidates are Sidney Bieber, Dr. Wilds, and Attorney Hogan. There will be no combination of the local Moose and standup republicans. There will be a straight republican delegation to go from this city for Senator John W. Weeks of Massachusetts, who is the choice of the local republicans. Senator Weeks is a man in whom the nation has confidence, and would no doubt make an ideal president. No man has demonstrated greater force in the Senate than he has. He is a strong man and a man of the people.
Special to The Bee.
Durham, N. C., Nov. 22, 1915. The game between Shaw University and the N. R. T. School, Saturday 13th was one of intense interest and sur-
prise. Everyone was interested to know what kind of a showing N. R. T. School would make against a University team. The public as a whole was inexpressably surprised by the results.
This is N. R. T.'s maiden year on the gridiron and every man except one was of the greenest material and had never before Oct. 28, 1915, played a game of foot-ball. This was the kind of goods Coach Drewry had to hammer and forge into a unit and send it against a well seasoned team like Shaw's.
At first it looked as though Shaw with her splendid interference would put the Prep Boys to route, but it did not take N. R. T. long to find herself and the game stood 0-0 in the first half. In the second half by an intercepted forward pass Shaw managed to go over for a touch down, making the game 6-0 in Shaw's favor.
The boys who did telling work for N. R. T. s were, Capt. Taylor, Keys, Bess and Goodloe. Berry, the quaterback, was of great service because of his generalship. It was stated that we played Shaw's Second Team. We played Shaw's Varsity. Shaw has no second team in the field.

Booker T. Washington at the White House
A Different Version of the Dinner
With President Roosevelt.
10 The Bailor of the Bailor
I noticed in your issue of Monday
this heading, "The True Story Told
at Last of Booker Washington's Lun-
cheon at White House," which sought
to disprove that he was ever formally
invited with a view of relieving Mr.
Roosevelt and his administration of
the stigma which such an invitation
is supposed to carry with it. As a
matter of fact, Mr. Washington was
as worthy to sit at the White House
table as the guest of the President as
any other American citizen living at
the time. Judged by any standard of
fitness, the propriety of having him
there could not be challenged. I said
at the time in an address which I de-
livered, "Why shouldn't a colored
man dine at the White House if he is
sufficiently eminent and is of the
right stamp? Is he not an American
citizen? Is he not a part of this re-
public? Why should he alone be shut
out and all other races admitted?"
Now, as to the luncheon, as the article in the Star calls it. I happen to know from Mr. Washington himself, that he was formally invited to dine at the White House by President Roosevelt. The evening when it occurred Mr. Washington was at my house. I lived then at 1526 L street invitation. I congratulated him upon fully an hour before the time fixed for the dinner. Mr. Washington was in full dress. We talked about the invitation. I congratulated him upon it, and felt, and so expressed myself to him, that it was important, not so much as a personal tribute to himself, as a fitting recognition of the race with which he was identified. In this act, on the part of the President of the United States, for the first time in the history of the country, the colored man was accorded a courtesy that heretofore had been denied him, while it had been extended to the representatives of other races in the republic. In this act, therefore, in this respect, the colored people were lifted to the same plane of equality as other races, which rightly belongs to them. When the time came for him to go he took the cab that was waiting for him and was driven to the White House, promising me that he would return, if possible, at the close of the dinner, and let me know how everything went off, which he did. These are the simple facts in the case, and no attempt to make them other than they are can change them.
NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS.
Thomas Hudson of Valdosta, Georgia, has just opened the third of a string of grocery stores which he owns in that city.
Eugene Elmore, manager of the Lincoln Theatre in New York City; has domated $200 to be divided among four of the local colored charitable organizations of that city.
Alfred H. Lockhart, who is said to be one of the wealthest colored man in the Danish West Indies, has been visiting in this country. He is the representative of the Standard Oil Company at St. Thomas.
The Co-operative Grocers' Association, an organization of the colored grocers of Nashville, Tenn., is one of the results of Booster Trade Week which was held in that city. One of the purposes of this association is to standardize prices. W. H. Dixon is president.
The Royal Messenger, published at first of the colored newspapers to first of the colored newspapers to guarantee its advertisements. They are careful to exclude all unreliable advertisements from their columns and then agree to make good any losses their readers may sustain by reason of dishonesty on the part of their advertisers.
The Lincoln Memorial Campaign which is a plan to raise $150,000 for a modern plant for the Mercy Hospital has been enthusiastically launched in Philadelphia. Dr. Algernon B. Jackson is the Medical Director and in this movement he has the hearty support of Dr. H. M. Minton, Dr. E. T. Hinson and other representative white and colored citizens.
The Mound Bayou State Bank, the second Negro bank to qualify under the Guarantee Act of Mississippi, has opened for business with a $10,000 capital and $2,000 surplus, all fully paid. The organizing skill and business experience of Mr. Charles Banks, president of the Mound Bayou Oll Mill, is largely responsible for the successful opening of this institution: Mr. Banks was also responsible for $11,000 of the capital stock and surplus.

LAID 343 EGGS IN 343 DAYS.
Pennsylvania Rival to Lady Eglantine
Veushed For by Owner.
Cardside, Fa.-Wth his pet Minorca
hen, Queen Elizabeth. W. 8. Geremeyer claims to have beaten the world's egg laying record recently established by Lady Eglantine at Delaware college. Queen Elizabeth, he asserts, laid 343 eggs in 343 consecutive days. The best Lady Eglantine did is put at 314 eggs in 365 days. Geremeyer and his wife certify to the correctness of this count. Queen Elizabeth is said to have begun laying on Nov. 4, 1914, and stopped on Oct. 13, 1915, laying an egg a day during that time. Two other fowls of the same brood are said to have laid 328 eggs in the same time.
Queen Elizabeth is a small bird of Black Minorca strain, with a trace of Rhode Island Red, and weighs about four pounds.
MAKES 'EM YOUNG AGAIN.
Professor of Zoology In Chicago University Rejuvenates Animals.
Chicago.—The result of fifteen years' study of the evolutions of life are contained in "Senescence and Rejuvenescence," a 500 page volume from the pen of Charles Manning Child, associate professor of zoology in the University of Chicago.
"Certain experimental methods have made it possible not only to follow the physiological changes in some of the lower animals, but to learn something of their nature." Professor Child writes.
"These animals grow old, as do men, but they are also capable of growing young. The process of aging can be retarded or inhibited experimentally and old animals brought back to a condition of youth, and made to pass through the life cycle again and again."
SEALS ENRICH WOMAN.
Has Been In Business Twenty Years on Maine Coast.
Boothbay Harbor, Me.—Mrs. Janet MacDonald, seventy-seven years old, is about to retire wealthy, after twenty years in the business of seal catching, with three men in her employ.
The seals of Maine waters are not valuable for their skins, but are easily tamed and are in demand for public and private collections and aquariums and zoological collections.
The catching is done at night, with the aid of nets, and Mrs. MacDonald has caught many personally. Often they follow her about, the house several days after capture.
Bonaparte, Ta:—Chaminade Stustman Blackford, who recently celebrated her fourteenth birthday at her home here, is said to be the youngest student of a university. When she applied for admission to Iowa university this fall the university authorities informed her that she must get a "special permit" from the state board of education. The board granted the application, but with the stipulation, although she had passed high school, she must take an entrance examination before she could be enrolled.
It has been said that the board thought and hoped that she would fail. If so they were disappointed, for Chaminae passed with honors a very still examination, which included mathematics, Latin, history, science, physics, English composition and rhetoric. So there was nothing for it but to admit her.
If all goes well she will receive her A. B. at eighteen, and, if she pursues her studies, her M. A. at nineteen.
Until the age of six Chaminade did not know a letter. She was not a strong child, and her parents hesitated to send her to school. She began her studies at home with her mother as teacher. She never was forced to study, and at times when she was not feeling well she would go for several weeks without opening a book. Nevertheless, at the age of eleven she took eighth grade examinations and entered the high school. In her second year there she was so far ahead of her class that at her professor's suggestion she left her class behind and finished the three years in two, graduating last spring.
Chamhade is now a strong, healthy girl, full of life and fun, and unafflicted with "nerves." She is an excellent pianist and has given public recitals of classical music. Educators say she is a perfectly normal child, but with a wonderful memory.
"I do not see anything remarkable about what I have done," she says. "I don't think I am particularly bright. I just want to make good."
Found Stony Heart.
Ridgefield. Wash.-Ernest Hawkins. while engaged in hunting for Indian arrowheads and other. Indian curtos at what is called an old Indian arrow bed along the shore of Lake river, picked up an unusual curlo having the appearance of a petrified heart of an infant. It is said by old timers that Indians had a burying ground near where the petrified heart was found. Each year as the water washes down the bank more refiles have been found and the burying ground is exposed.

HERE'S $1,000,000 COLLEGE YELL
Thunderous. Notes Will Signal to Alumni All Over Country That Campaign to Raise Million Dollar Fund For Michigan Union Has Begun. Judge Day Will Lead.
Ann Arbor, Mich.—How much is a college yell worth? Does $1,000,000 seem like a high price for a real ear splitting, welkin wrecking campus cheer?
Capitalizing a college yell at $1,000,000 may sound like frezzed finance, but that is what the alumni of the University of Michigan have done. The Michigan yell, that battlecry of the Wolverene which has resounded on diamond and track and field from Pennsylvania to California and from Minnesota to Tennessee, will ring out from tidewater to tidewater of the U. S. A. on the night of Oct. 2. Its thunderous notes will signal, that evening to Michigan alumni the country over that the campaign to raise a million dollar fund for the Michigan union has begun.
The sixty years of public service rendered by James B. Angel in education, diplomacy and journalism are to be crowned by the building it his honor of a $1,000,000 structure on the campus of the University of Michigan. The citizens of Michigan and Dr. An-
THE BALLROOM
JUDGE DAY LEADING $1,000,000 YELL. gell's former students, wherever resident, are joining to pay adequate tribute to a career generally regarded as one of the most useful in the history of America.
In 192 cities of the United States former students of the University of Michigan will assemble for a smoker early that night. Just before 9 o'clock the several halles will be darkened, and a cinematograph operator in each will begin his preliminary tests. Promptly at 9 the screens in 192 halles will be animated with the features of "Big Bill" Day—in the usual walks of life, dignified Judge William L. Day, formerly of the United States district court for northern Ohio, but to all Michigan men affectionately and vociferously "Big Bill." He is the son of Associate Justice Day of the United States supreme court, the latter also an enthusiastic Michigan alumnus. The screens will show "Big Bill" raising his hands in appeal.
The plan of the general committee on the union project is to draw into these various centers for the smokers all Michigan alumni from the tributary districts, so as to have in attendance at what will be in effect a nation wide smoker all the hosts of the maze and blue the land over. Each particular meeting will be opened on a signal given in Ann Arbor, the seat of the university, by the pressing of an electric button by the president of the University of Michigan, Dr. Harry B. Hutchins.
For the working out of the plan Judge Day went to Ann Arbor a few days ago, took up a position in the big stadium and led the varsity yell, the while moving picture cameras swayed and clicked to record his gestures. They "got him to the life." Preliminary drills of old graduates and young in the voicing of the yell already have been held in the meetings of the Michigan alumni in the cities where the smokers are to be held. Local committee charged with the execution of the plan of commissions will
VOTE SEEKERS ARE IN FEDERAL FIGHT
New York Suffragists and Congressional Union Join.
Dr. Anna Shaw Requests Chairmen McCombs and Hilles to Give Women Full Hearing—National Woman Suffrage Association Will Also Give Support to the Amendment.
New York. - Mrs. Harriot Stanton Blatch, president of the Women's Political union, and her organization decided formally recently at an executive meeting to throw in their fortunes with the Congressional union and work for the Susan B. Anthony federal amendment. The Congressional union has a couple of women whom it calls "women voters" envoys," coming by automobile from the Pacific coast on their way to Washington to present to the president and congress a petition signed by 500,000 women voters, asking that the S. B. Anthony amendment be passed by the Sixty-fourth congress.
The union, of which Miss Alice Paul is chairman, has been considered the most militant of American organizations on account of its methods of appeal, to the president and politicians. Some of the members of the Women's Political union have gone over to it from time to time, and others have worked with it as individuals, but the organization as a whole has bitherto held itself aloof. The Susan B. Anthony amendment which has been known as the Bristow-Mondell bill, will be introduced for the

MISS. HARRIOT STANTON-BLATCH.
Congressional union this year by Senator Sutherland and will be known in future as the Sutherland-Mondell bill. It will also this year have the support of the National Woman Suffrage association, which for the last two years has been standing behind a substitute the Shafroth-Palmer federal amendment.
The Women's Political union was until a few years ago associated with the National association, but it severed its connection, giving some nominal reason. The Women's Suffrage party and the Empire State campaign committee are affiliated with the National. Mrs O. H. P. Belmont, who was at one time a strong backer of the National, is now working in the Congressional union. In open letters sent to William F. McCombs, chairman of the Democratic national committee, and to Charles D. Hilles, chairman of the Republican committee. Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, president of the National American Woman Suffrage association, asks for hearings for her associations when the committees meet in Washington in the early part of December.
At these meetings she says she wishes to discuss the possibility of securing for the question of woman suffrage a "real and not perfunctory hearing" at the national conventions of the two parties.
Dr. Shaw speaks of the 1,000,000 votes given to woman suffrage in the "conservative cast" on Nov. 2 and the 8,000,000 men and women voters in the suffrage states in the west, which make it "specially desirous that there shall be a discussion on one point—the justice, propriety and expediency of having a plank in the Democratic and Republican platforms in favor of woman suffrage."
These letters were sent according to the agreement at the Chicago conference of suffragists last spring that the National association should make extraordinary efforts next year to have planks inserted in the platforms of all parties. State suffrage organizations are already bringing pressure to bear upon the state committees of both the Republican and Democratic parties.
In writing to Mr. Hilles, as chairman of the Republican national committee Dr. Shaw says that if it is agreeable to the committee the women will present as spokeswoman "the daughter of a former district chairman of our committee."
Gratitude For Mercles Received Enhances Their Value.
Unthankfulness Breeds Discontent and Undermines Happiness—True Christians Accept Life's Experience Cheerfully, Knowing the Lord's Measures to Be Just—They. Alone Can Give Thanks In the Fullest Sense.
Montreal, Que. Nov. 21.—Pastor Russell gave an address here today on Thanksgiving. His text was, "Giving thanks always for all things unto God."—Ephesians 5:20.
PASTOR RUSSELL
The speaker prefaced his address with the declaration that usually life's experiences
PASTOR RUSSELL tion that usually life's experiences are what we make them. Bible students should be philosophers; for the Wisdom from Above is the noblest science, the best instruction. It promotes the spirit of a sound mind, which is necessarily philosophical; for a sound mind prompts us to make the best of conditions rather than to find fault with Divine providence, thus making ourselves and those around us very miserable.
True Christians have always found plenty of cause for thankfulness, even though they might have had more than their share of life's difficulties. Nor was this thankfulness because they understood the why and wherefore of the present reign of Sin and Death. By faith they accepted their portion of joy and sorrow, believing that it was measured to them by the Lord, and that full obedience and cheerful submission were their duty.
Excuses For Unthankfulness.
The world, awakening from the sleepy superstitions of the past, readily finds many excuses for ingratiance. To show the unthankful masses that he recognized their viewpoint, although not agreeing with them, the Pastor mentioned some of these excuses, and then pointed out the better course of thankfulness and proportionate happiness. He reminded them that the poor of our favored land habitually waste more than would make some of the poor of other countries very thankful; that under 'the Divine blessing conveniences and comforts have multiplied until the masses of our land have home comforts, educational facilities, parks, well-paved and well lighted streets, libraries, cheap transportation, etc., such as were not dreamed of in our grandfathers' day. We should not greedily ask for more until we have fully appreciated these blessings, and have given thanks therefor.
"But," says one, "our forefathers were superstitiously thankful. They thanked God for sunshine and rain. We have learned that these are nature's provisions; and we thank nobody for them. Our forefathers thanked God for escape from feudal slavery. We see that they should have rebelled against feudalism. When recovered from, slickness, they thanked God that they had not died and gone to eternal torture. We hold that they should have thanked their physician and should not have believed in everlasting torment; for it is all humbug.
"Intelligent people have no more knowledge than ourselves respecting a future. We agree with the college professors that our race is progressing upward by an evolutionary law of nature; that God has nothing to do with it; and that there is no future life for us except as our posterity represent us on a higher plane of living. You will perceive, then, why we consider Thanksgiving a medieval superstition."
Replies to the Unthankful.
Replies to the Unthankton.
To this reasoning the Pastor replied along two lines, philosophical and analytical. First, he showed that such pantheistic and atheistic evolutionists are unphilosophical; for they admit that they have blessings far beyond anything known to their forefathers, and that their unhappiness has proportionately increased. A true philosophy would tell them that their loss of happiness is due to the unthankful manner in which they receive these blessings. Even if their theories were true, philosophy would warn them that it is unwise to cultivate thoughts which increase their unthankful, unhappy spirit.
Secondly, he asked for proof that there is no living, and true God—that there is merely a nature god, a blind force. What philosophy can demonstrate that by chance the earth remains in its orbif, the seasons occur in regular succession, etc.? He acknowledged that once our Creator's wisdom and beneficence were hidden by our superstititions and the irrational creeds of the past. Now, however, God's Word shines forth to those who can see its beauty.
Furthermore, he is respected that we do not boast ourselves as having greater courage than some in feudal times, but that we note that the patriotism which secured the Magna Charta was as courageous as any possessed today or more so; that our freedom from some of the superstitions of the past results from the spread of education; and that for this widespread education we must thank only the Lord, for it came possible the acquisition of the rich and the poor, the poor's doings and the poor's Daniel 12:4.
AMOS THE FEARLESS PROPHET
AMOS THE FEARLESS PROPHET
Amos the Shepherd Becomes Amos the Prophet—Divine Methods of Presenting the Prophet's Message—Israel guilty of Injustice and Oppression—Lessons For Our Day—Israel's Recovery Foretold—Fulfilment of This Prophecy Now Due.
"He that hath my Word, let him speak My Word faithfully"—Jeremiah 23:28.
THE Prophet Amos belongs to a period about a century after the Prophets Elijah and Elisha and about two centuries before the Prophets Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel. Like David, he was a sheep tender, a farmer, upon whom the Lord poured His Spirit with mighty power, sending him to proclaim the disasters sure to come upon Israel unless they repented of their iniquities.
The brunt of the Prophet's message fell against the ten-tribe kingdom. The Divine method of presenting this mat-
ter is noteworthy. The message began with the adjourning nations, and proceeded gradually to Israel, the tentile kingdom. We can fancy the attention given the message by the Israelites until the weight to the Prophet's testimony was found to be, against them. Then we may be
A man with a staff
sure that there was great indignation. This denomination of Israel occurs chiefly in chapters 3-6 and chapter 7-9.17. When the Prophet openly forceted the fall of the reigning dynasty, Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, interfered, building Amos to return to his own country. But under the special power of the Holy Spirit, using him to deliver a particular message, the Prophet refused to return home until he had accomplished his errand. He also added to the retribution of Israel some prophecies respecting the priest's own household.
"Not All That Say, Lord, Lord."
Today's lesson is a part of the Prophet's pleading with the Israelites to return to harmony with God and thus to nvert the impending calamities. History shows that the time was a very prosperous period, not only for Judah, but also for Israel. The prosperity was of an earthly kind. Riches were accumulated. But these were in the hands of the great.
The Prophet then warns the rich that the poor were being unjustly dealt with. He intimates that, from this source trouble would ultimately come, and that the only terms upon which they could hope to live as a nation would be by seeking the Lord. It would be vain for them to seek help at Bethel, Gilgal or Beersheba, the centers of their religious institutions, which were corrupt; for these would all go down in the predicted trouble.
God Himself must be sought with an honest heart; also He would cause destruction to break out like a fire and destroy the House of Joseph. The ten-tribe kingdom is here called the House of Joseph, because of the preponderating influence of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, which had sprung from Joseph. Heurea a fire breaking out in the House of Joseph means the destruction which would come upon the ten-tribe kingdom unless they repented of their evil course.
The Prophet then particularizes some of the wrongs of his day. Justice was not rendered in their courts. The poor who appealed to the courts got wormwood—bitterness, disappointment. He declares that righteousness was cast down to the earth; that equity was not a matter of primary consideration; that bribery was rife; that wealth, power and influence could accomplish almost anything. There must be a turning from this condition; and relief could come only from turning to the Lord.
God Careth For the Poor and Needy.
In Verse 0 the Prophet intimates that God's power would be with the poor and oppressed for their deliverance; and that this would mean destruction against the strong and powerful, against those who hate reproof and oppose the upright.
Verses 11 and 12 particularize the nature of the injustice which should be discontinued. Verse 13 implies that
there were some Israelites who did not approve the general course; but that these, a helpless minority, kept silence from prudential reasons — because the time was evil and to have espoused the cause of the oppressed would have accomplish-
there were some Israelites who did not approve the general course; but that these, a helpless minority, kept silence from prudential reasons — because the time was evil and to have espoused the cause of the oppressed would have accomplished no good results. But the Prophet was especially commissioned of the Lord to give this very reproof, and must therefore speak his message boldly.
The lesson closes with an exhortation that the Prophet's bearers make a thorough reformation—that they seek good and not evil, love righteousness and hate sin. Then indeed they might apply to themselves. God's promises, as they were already disposed to do. Such claims would be appropriate enough if they conformed to the Divine requirements, but not otherwise. If they as a people would come into line with God's requirements, he would be gracious to them. Otherwise they must expect chastisements.
