VOL. XXXVI, NO. 44 NO COLORED MAN WANTED Washington, March 29—The following letter recently sent to the chairman of the House and Senate Committees on Military Affairs and others, voices the demand of ten million native-born, English-speaking American citizens for the right to serve their country at this crisis. Citizens petitioning for the right to enlist in our army, while the Tenth Cavalry is bearing the brunt in Mexico: Dear Sir: At the suggestion of Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, treasurer of this association, I am appealing for your support of the request that two regiments of artillery and two of infantry of those about to be created, be designated as open for the enlistment of colored soldiers. The adjutant general has stated that he doubted if 175,000 regulars could be recruited in the United States. There is no difficulty in recruiting colored regiments. Yet while officers are tearing their hair to get white recruits, the sign is up, "No colored man wanted." Does it not seem a ridiculous programme of preparedness which deliberately excludes the best material we've got? That is no idle blast. When the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts stormed Fort Wagner in '63 it established for all time the fact that the colored soldier could fight and fight well. The history of the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry in the Indian fights between 1868 and 1890 piled up the evidence of their courage and loyalty. There have been notably fewer desertions from the colored regiments than from the white. The Ninth Cavalry once astonished the army by reporting not a single desertion in twelve months, an unheard of and undreamed of record. Their services during the Spanish war and since has shown our colored troops to be infinitely better fitted for service in our tropical dependencies than white troops. Company L of the Forty-ninth Volunteers, composed wholly of colored men, and commanded by Capt. E. L. Baker, a colored veteran who had served for seventeen years in the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry, made a record which no white company rometely approaches. This company had on its rolls during a period of twelve months one hundred and six men who were fit for duty at all times and never lost a day on account of sickness. More extraordinary still is the fact that during the same period not one of these men ever went before a court martial. Surely a striking illustration of what can be done by colored officers. Such traits enabled Gen. A. S. Burt, in relinquishing command of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, on April 17, 1902, to quote the Inspector-General of the army as saying: "The Twenty-fifth Infantry is the best regiment I have seen in the Phillippines." It was noticeable too, that neither the officers nor the men of any colored regiment figured in the charges and counter-charges which arose out of the use of the "water cure" in the islands. Since 1870, there have been four colored regiments in our regular establishment, two of cavalry and two of infantry, but there has never been a colored artillery organization in the regular service. When ten regiments and several units of artillery were added in 1901, the colored citizens of America were deeply offended that Secretary Root failed to recommend the establishment of any colored regiment. Now that the question is before Congress again, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, urges that the right of these ten million citizens to participate to the full in every phase of our national life be recognized by designating two of the artillery regiments and two of infantry, of those about to be created by Congress, as open for enlistment to colored Americans. If hyphenated citizenship is a weakness of the body politic, why insist that ten million men and women must remain. Afro-Americans unto the fourth and fifth generation? A THEORY OF STUDY. By Chas. M. Thomas, Miner Normal School, D. C. Efficient procedure differs from empirical in being founded upon a theory, clarified by research and regularly criticised, recorded results. Education as a science is concerned with the inter-relation of certain alms, materials and methods. Aims: Socializing human nature and releasing initiative. Materials: Nature, books and the experiences of men. Methods: Arousal and suppression of emotions; automatizing; increasing the scope and relation of associated ideas; setting standards of conduct and skill. Teaching as the activity by which the educational aims are achieved recognizes the presence of three constant factors: Curriculum, teacher and pupil, with a concept of method including the teacher as the mediator between the logic of the subject matter of the curriculum and the learning process in the pupil. Modern procedure has shifted the emphasis from the logic of the subject matter to the nature of the learning process, and in adolescents that process seems to have a basis which is physiological, psychological, social rather than chronological, psycholog ical, logical, as conceived in terms of formal discipline. The curriculum represents a merger of content accumulated under the stimulus of Plato's idea that correct conduct would follow theoretical knowledge about humanity, and Aristotle's practice of resting both laws and conduct upon the accurately observed, carefully classified phenomena. Research reveals that man everywhere has been actuated by two demands: (a) to continue to live; and (b) to live better, giving rise to problems of adjustment in the first place and control in the second, hence the youth of our day become socialized by reviewing, through the impressionable years, the whole course of man's approximate solutions of the problems of human life. The past is not a key to the present, but the present interprets the past, and reveals its survivals, its adaptations and warnings. Every generation results from, represents and aims to expend surplus along neuro-muscular paths without memory to restrain them. Existing social conditions represent customs, habits and laws favoring the maintenance mores of racial group, and they demand that youth shall be automated in those mores so that initiative may be exercised in the direction of social trend. The difficulties connected with the present training of youth arise from the necessity for making the transition from pastoral-agrarian instincts to the modern complex agricultural, industrial, economic, co-operative social scheme. A new generation may be influenced through its emotions and its associations. Its emotions are connected with its instincts, while its associations depend fundamentally upon its out-of-school experiences. Hence its possible standards of conduct (oughts and ought-nots) depend upon its selection of ideals for egolistic satisfaction through imitation. Its standards of skill depend upon its imagination of satisfaction to its physical wants, food, clothing, shelter and their accompaniments and diversifications. The course of study, fellow-students, and teachers, equipment and administration all combine to help or hinder the formation of these standards. The items listed in course of study may be grouped as literary relations, mathematical relations, historical relations, environmental relations, aesthetic relations and industrial relations. The first three are relatively fixed, hence they may be learned: e. g. memorized retentively, logically and in live associations. The environmental, industrial and aesthetic relations shift and vary with the age and the development of the individual, hence they should be studied: e. g. analyzed, investigated, compared, tried and corrected. To have knowledge means to have (1) information (accurate, adequate, of the right kind and quickly available), (2) acquired skill, (3) critical experience, and (4) a truth which has been found to work broadly. These requirements, with the inspiration of ideals, become the specific aims of American teaching, which, by reason of the mass problem, recognizes certain lesson modes: inductive, deductive, recitation or development of testing, review, drill, application. In each type of lesson, the pupils must know the aim and self-actively purpose to attain it, under teacher guidance, and at this point the study question arises. We learn to study and study to learn: By trial and error; by imitation; by guidance and direction; by training, independently, followed by specific application to the study of different subjects in the curriculum of the high school. SCHOOL CHILDREN TO CELEBRATE. Aprif 5th, Anniversary of Dr. Washington's Birth, with Memorial Exercises and Contributions to Memorial Fund—Some Examples of Devotion Cited. In a far away district of Alabama, twelve miles from a railroad, there is situated a little school which found its beginning first in the hearts of some of Coosa County's patriotic white and colored citizens, and which under most trying difficulties has blossomed into a little community—an oasis of civilization as it were, in a desert of ignorance. It now pulses with the quickening throbs which come from education and purposeful toll. The Coosa County Training School of which Mr. Robert W. Taylor is principal is the center of activity in this model community and from this school there radiates encouragement and an awakening pride of the race which is moulding a strong sentiment for progress and advancement. But Coosa County is not unlike other counties of the South for it depends almost wholly upon the production of its farms for its existence and "then there be lean years and there be fat years." Last year was very "lean" with the colored people of Coosa County and they suffered much and were deprived of much. But they are stout-hearted and hopeful and have yet to show the first evidence of a faltering faith in the ultimate achievement of their ideals. When the call for support to the campaign for the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund was issued, Coosa County was among the first to re- WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 1916 [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie]. JUDGE ABBERT B.

Secretary of the Executive Committee. ply that they would spare nothing in doing their part to perpetuate the work founded by Dr. Washington and in helping to erect a suitable memorial in his honor on the grounds of Tuskegee Institute. The story of their great sacrifice to participate in this expression from the race is best reflected in the following letter from Mr. Taylor: "I take pleasure in sending you herewith my check for $3.50 as a contribution from the children of the Coosa County Training School to the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund. A large part of this contribution represents the sale from eggs donated by children who were too poor to give anything in cash." The spirit of the "widows mite" was never better exemplified than in this instance of the Coosa County School children's contribution to the Memorial Fund. This same spirit should spread throughout the South among the school children and encourage them to contribute freely on Friday, April 5th, the day which has been set aside for this purpose because it has been found to be the anniversary of Dr. Washington's birth. Some teachers in the colored schools have arranged to hold suitable memorial exercises on this date. A program is being arranged by these teachers in which the students will speak and recite upon some phrase of Dr. Washington's life and his achievements. At the conclusion of these exercises the special collections will be taken and forwarded to Tuskegee Institute. Persons arranging such memorial exercises in their communities may write to Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-in-charge of the fund to be raised by the colored people; Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, for suggestive printed matter. Contributions may be sent to him, or to Warren Logan, Treasurer of Tuskegee Institute. NATIONAL NEWS NOTES. Wilmington, Del—"Every Evening" Wilmington's hustling evening newspaper, thus comments on a situation to the south of us: In the city of Birmingham, Alabama, according to the Dally Age-Herald of that city, more than a hundred arrests were made during Saturday night for drunkenness. Yet Birmingham is a "dry" city, the sale of intoxicating liquor there not, being permitted by law. The intoxicants, of course, come from the outside, and the same paper is authority for the statement that during the morning of this particular Saturday more than a thousand packages of "booze" were delivered to purchasers in that city. On several trains, it is added, it has been "found necessary to put on extra express coaches to accommodate the thirst." The experience of Birmingham, however, is not unusual. Nearly every community, especially those that include cities within their limits, has had similar experience after voting to prohibit the sale of intoxicants under license. People living within these communities insist upon having their indulgence, and the liquor is purchased from outside sources. It is an interesting speculation what the effect would be if arrangements could be made, in respect of a community that voted "dry" to make it absolutely "dry" in fact as well as in word. There is a probability that such a condition would, instead of proving a lasting encouragement to prohibition, result in an about-face movement at the earliest possibility. There is an element of hypocrisy in all reform movements, good or otherwise, and in none to a greater extent than in movements for prohibition. "There is no "dry" community that does not include many persons who oppose and vote against the licensed sale of intoxicating liquor, but will not consent to deny themselves an indulgence in its use. Former President Taft on "Law Enforcement." Former President Taft in his work, "Four Aspects of Civic Duty," writes at length on the subject of "Law Enforcement." An extract is pertinent: "Nothing is more foolish, nothing more utterly at variance with sound policy than to enact a law which, by reasons of conditions surrounding the community, is incapable of enforcement. Such instances are sometimes presented by sumptuous laws, by which the sale of intoxicating liquors is prohibited under penalties in localities where the public sentiment of the immediate community does not and will not sustain the enforcement of the law. In such cases the legislation usually is the result of agitation by the people in the country districts, who are determined to make their fellow-citizens in the city better. The enactment of the law comes through the country representatives, who form a majority of the legislature, but the enforcement of the law is among the people who are generally opposed to its enactment; and under such circumstances the law is a dead letter. In cases where the sale of liquor can not be prohibited in fact, it is far bet- ter to regulate them than to attempt to stamp it out. "By the enactment of a drastic law and the failure to enforce it, there is injected into the public mind the idea that laws are to be observed or violated according to the will of those affected. I need not say how altogether pernicious such a loose theory it . . . The constant violation or neglect of any law leads to a demoralized view of all laws." REPUBLICAN RALLY. Grand Army Hall Meeting Tuesday Evening, April 4—Let It Be a Great Meeting—Eminent Speakers. It is to be hoped that Grand Army Hall will be packed to overflow next Tuesday evening. This should not be a meeting of men only. The two delegates to be elected are gentlemen which are worthy off all the honors that can be given them by the District's citizens; and the ladies throughout the entire city should be invited and assured of a welcome reception in attendance upon this grand occasion. The Hon. Robert I. Miller and Hon. W. Calvin Chase are gentlemen who can be relied to give a good account of themselves in that great convention which meets in Chicago, Ill, June 7, and they should be given a rousing send-off on next Tuesday evening. They are going to be elected; but let their friends bear in mind the fact that there is "walking ahead" to accomplish the job. It will not be wise to confine ourselves to making speeches. Work, instead of so much eloquent speech-making, is the only thing that's going to elect the two gentlemen in question. Don't wait until the day of election to do all your work, for the other fellows who are anxious to represent the District citizens in that memorable convention are hard at work now, and are working like beavers. We know what we are talking about. Again, the Hon. Robert I. Miller and Hon. W. Calvin Chase are going to win! Butdon't forget that there is "walking ahead" of you. Better get busy. RALPH W. TYLER. A Washington dispatch says the cold deal given to Ralph Tyler by the republican organization in this state is resented by the colored people all over the country. W. Calvin Chase, publisher of The Washington Bee, and a leader of his race, thus speaks of Mr. Tyler: Colored men all over the country know Mr. Tyler and regard him as one of the highest and best representatives of our race. From one ocean to the other they have their eyes on Ohio, for they want to see Tyler elected a delegate-at-large. His selection for that position would aid the republican party immeasurably with the colored voters throughout the country, for there is no exponent of our race who is better liked. A great many newspapers published by colored men come to my office, and these exchanges are unanimous in disapproval of the action of the little close corporation in Ohio that would deny this simple honor to so splendid a representative of our race. Outside of all considerations of the merits of the case, it would be good politics if republicans everywhere would vote for Mr. Tyler. In so doing they would help the party and elect a trustworthy and intelligent gentleman.—Editorial from the Cleveland, O., State Journal. UNITED REPUBLICANS At the Grand Army Hall next Tuesday night the Capital City and United Republican Clubs will hold one of the largest ratification meetings that has ever been held in this city. This meeting will ratify the nomination of the Miller and Chase, Hayes and Collins ticket for delegates and alternate delegates to the National Republican Convention which is to convene in the city of Chicago, June 7th. Let all republican organizations under the auspices of the Capital City and United Republican Clubs be present. FLOPPED AGAIN To look in J. Finley Wilson's face and to be in his company one would conclude that he was an angel of perfection. Jabez Lee, who was Finley's boon companion, writes to The Bee and says some very complimentary things that would be amusing in cold type. Jabez says that Finley was employed to support his candidates, Bradshaw, then Dr. Price, and last but not least, Mr. Wardman. Finley has left and joined the Bull Mooses now. Just where Finley will eventually end is a conjecture. There is one thing certain, there is not much happiness between Finley and Jabez. This is the fourth flop for Finley. The Bee declines to publish Jabez's letter because it is no fight of The Bee. For several months both Jabez and For several months both Jabez and Finley have been staunch friends. GRAND ARMY HALL. Eminent Speakers at Grand Army Hall Tuesday Evening, April 4. Among a few of the speakers at Grand Army Hall, Tuesday evening, April 4th, at 7:30 p. m.: Judge Arthur B. Hayes, Rev. W. N. Jernagin, Rev. W. H. M. Norman, Rev. S. L. Corrothers. Dr. Sumner G. Holmes, one of Virginia's leading orators and politicians, and some others who will be announced in the daily press. IN A WORTHY CAUSE MISS MARGARET WOODROW WILSON. The President's Daughter Doing Good Work Among the Lowly—True American Womanhood Noble Example for Cultured Americans to Follow. The American people have among them many noble women who are doing good work among the lowly of the race. Miss Margaret Woodrow Wilson is a noble example of true American womanhood. You can always find among the white women of their race the highly cultured and educated who are not ashamed to go among the lowly and work for reformation. Miss Wilson is a fine type of American womanhood. The example young white women set up always tend to influence the better class of colored women to follow. The social settlement and the Young Colored Women's Christian Association are patterns taken from the American white women. The President's daughter is doing what many females object doing, on account of their high social standing. The late Mrs. Wilson, the President's former wife, established a precedent that was foreign to many in her race. It should be pleasing to all social settlement workers to see a young lady of such high social standing working among the lowly. There is not a more noble or a more deserving young lady in America whose social settlement work is more highly commended. Miss Wilson's work is not confined to this city alone but throughout the United States and wherever she goes her presence—is honored and respected. Let all social settlement workers follow her noble example. May she continue in her good work for the lowly and fallen humanity. Miss Wilson stands for the highest development of true moral womanhood and a noble example for the high class of American colored women to follow. BOY SCOUTS The Boy Scout movement will live as long as its members live up to its principles. But if Scouts should forget their oath or break their law, the movement would fall to pieces in fifteen minutes. There would not be any Scout movement at all for there would not be any Scouts—just a number of boys dressed up in khaki uniforms that had lost their meaning. Now then is there any danger that such a thing will ever happen? Not a hit! There is no more chance of that happening than there is of an English soldier, with a lighted bomb in his hand, being granted an audience with the Kaiser. Once a Scout, always a Scout. The Forest Trophy, which was to be presented to the team winning the most points in the athletic contest held during the Boys' Conference at the Y. M. C. A., on Friday, and Saturday, was won by the Scout team from the Anacostia Troop, M. W. Brooks, Scoutmaster. --- The Scoutmasters' Club meets on the first and third Saturday evenings of each month. The object of the Scout movement is to help the boy to become a useful citizen—and certainly no good citizen can object to this. Come to our meetings and see what we are doing. Meetings held at 337 R street northwest, from 7:30 to 9:30 o'clock. The Committee for the promotion of the Scout movement among colored boys, of the District of Columbia is very active, acquainting the public with the meaning of the movement. We want every citizen to become a member which means that he will do all he can to encourage boys to do at all times what is honorable. Notice of our next meeting will be published. Please help us to help ourselves. SHELBY J. DAVIDSON, President. ALONZO L. HILL, Secretary. MILLER AND CHASE INDORSED. A large meeting of republicans in the 13th district met in the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church last Monday night. Rev. Simon P. W. Drew presided. The first speaker was Attorney Charles S. Williams, who was followed by Attorney Robert I. Miller. The entire Miller, Chase, Hayes and Collins ticket was indorsed. COLORED . PEOPLE'S PROGRESS.

I heard the other day that "mah fren" William Calvin was figurin' on buyin' an automobile. I just cant see how that man can have the heart to go and blow hisself for a five or ten thousand dollar French car when he alnt done nothin' but promise me each week that he will pay me for the week's before work a turnin' out the Sage dope. Mebbo William Calvin will buy the car and take me out rldin' once in a while as pay for my weekly labor tryin' to amuse the readers of The Bee. If he can calculates on doin' this, why I aint got no objections to his buying a car. For I know he's the money. Most any misconception in mournin' color what runs a darktown paper' has got money to buy anything made in this country or in the old country. Don't you know there is a pile of money made in runnin' colored newspapers? Why sure there is. Chase's bank deposits, just his profits from runnin' this great-palladium, are so heavy. The Riggs National Bank told him the other day they were afraid to carry his account, it was so heavy, and suggested that he go and have a talk with Woody's son-in-law, Mr. McAdoo, and see if he wouldn't let him put his deposits in the government vault at the Treasury building every day, instead of bringing it to the bank. The heaviest depositors in this town, outside of Chase, are the professors and teachers at Howard University. And the heaviest borrowers in town are those teachers and messengers in the departments who can afford to pay the Dancy rate of interest, what runs all the way from 5 per cent per to 10 per cent a fortnight. Now I don't mean to say that our own John Dancy lends at that rate. John don't lend nothin', not even a ten cent bottle of brewed barley and rice, but John established a rate of interest, when he blew into this berg, what equals the rate mentioned. But gettin' back to Chase buyin' an automobile, my advice to him is that when he gets it, be careful and don't make no hurry night run out in the vicinity of Relay, Md. cause if he does why it's "bim, bam, automobile, occupants, and reputation is just naturally all piled up together. But a fellow, when he gets to be Calvin's age, aint a bit warm I heard the other day that Doc. Williston, while in a fit of disreliency imagination, said that if there was anyway he could get out of this runnin' for delegate with honor, he'd pull out so quick it would-make your head swim, cause he never thought he had so many knockers until he undertook to do the Bull Moose act before a republican audience. Don't worry Doc. You aint never started yet, and if you should get started, the voters here-abouts will pull you out of the runnin' with a majority what will look like a Massachusetts majority immediately after the war. And as to knockers. Well, my North Carolina friend, you aint felt the blows of knockers yet. Walt till you actually get into the runnin' and then we will introduce you to a whole managerie of knockers who will give you the anvil chorus and wind up with a tin canning party in your honor. If a fellow really wants to find out how popular he is all he has to do is to run for delegate from this district of expert, professional knockers, and he will find out. Chase, of course, is use to it. His hide is thick, and they won't knock him quite as hard as they will knock some other gynx, cause they are afraid he will swing on them with about four columns of vitriolic editorials every week in The bee for an indefinite period. Say don't you know it's just molassis candy to a coal-complexion paper? Well it is. Aside from the money a fellow makes what he can never collect, there's the pleasure of knowin' that the other fellow when he talks about you has to do it sub rosa, as they say around to the whist parties frequented, by the Adam's fifth ribs who attend principly to talk about the other woman who happens not to be present. If Doc. Williston stays in this delegate contest till the votes are counted. I'm bettin' you a slo gin rickie to a dram of some aphyxation stuff that his popularity will have to be worked out by algebraic methods, usin' X as the unknown quantity, and his practice will dwindle down to about one "T. B. R.' per day, and his collections will fall off to the price of a cineo per day. like you, Doc., old Scout, and because I do like you I'm advisin' you to strike out of the game. J. According to advices received from New York City, the ladies auxiliary of the Hotel bellman's Beneficial Association gave a very successfull Shamrock' Party and dance last Wednesday evening at Bellmans Hall. Mr. Harry P. Webb, a well-known representative of the firm of Jenkins and Jenkins, was in the city last week. He is considered to be one of the most practical men in the silver business with forty-five years experience. He is now in Baltimore connected with the largest hotel, silver repairing firm in the South. firm in the South John Lacy, a waiter in the New Eb- bitt Cafe, was the sponsor for a new fund in the past week to purchase a new wooden leg for "Peggie Adams." Thirty-five persons contributed a few hours after the collection was started. Lacey was appointed assistant to the Chairman Harris of the sick and relief committee. According to reports from Paris, Texas, every hotel and restaurant in the city has been wiped out by flame. Fully ten thousand people are shelterless. Soon after the fire started the plant of the Texas Power and Light Company, supplying power for the water, works system, burned, putting the water service out of commission. Destruction of the light plant also crippled the telephone exchange. The central fire station was burned with most of its equipment. Col. Linval Myers is expected to leave the city in a few days for the Mexican border to join the Villa hunting, expedition. Policeman Mason L. Howes, acting head of the vice squad, and J. E. Elliott, his assistant, were both relieved from duty on last Tuesday, following an order authorizing issuance of warrants for them, charging "unlawful entry to a private residence." It is an aftermath of the accusation made several days ago by Mrs. Kennett that Howes and Elliott successfully entered her home during the night without a warrant. a warrant. Capt. Michael Jacobson has been transferred from the main café at the New Ebbitt to take charge of the Crystal Dining Room on March 15. Mr. Jacobson has added many touches to the service and cuisine of the Crystal Room since having charge. Captain A. Gallini, a service expert from New York city, has been appointed to fill the vacancy made by Mr. Jacobson's transfer. Many changes in other departments are expected by the first of April. The Army and Navy Club Waiters' Association ball on last Friday evening was a big success, at Odd Fellows' Hall. The waiters' dance has been the largest at the hall since the beginning of the Lenten season. Will Hill, the vegetable culinary artist at the New Ebbitt, better known as "Holy Moses," gave another one of his famous "Donkey Parties." Monday evening, March 27th. J. G. Whittingham arrived in the city in time to fill the vacancy at Harvey's restaurant caused by Howard Nelson's appointment in the Post Office department last week. Office departed. James Gray was delayed in Washington for several days after arriving from the South and could not go to Hot Springs, Va., with his two sons, who left last Thursday, but he arrived in time to take charge of the "Japanese Room" last Sunday. Several of his crew from Palm Beach was already there. Among them were Messrs. Lee Smith, Hall Blake and Briggs. Leon D. Mitchell, arrived in the city several days ago from Palm Beach, with a severe case of rheumatism. Mitchell has not been able to leave his residence. 408 South Capitol street southeast since his arrival. Mr. Lee-Smith will have charge of the European Department of the Bluff Point Hotel at Lake Champlain this summer, to take effect May 15. Mr. Smith is well-known by the hotel people throughout the country and has filled positions of trust in the dining rooms of several of America's best hotels. The Easter season at Atlantic City, N. J. seems very promising, for the hotel proprietors, the heads of the departments are preparing for big business for the spring and summer, America's "feverish prosperity" will cause hundreds of people to visit the resorts this year. Ashbury Park, Saratoga Springs, and other well-known resorts have a big business out-look. There will be no occasion for the "soup houses" for the unemployed. COLORED WOMEN'S CLUBS. The National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, Mrs. Booker T. Washington, president, is to hold its next biennial meeting in Baltimore, Maryland, beginning Sunday, August 6th, 1916, at which time a mass meeting will be held at one of the important churches. The program proper begins Monday morning, August 10th. All of the various committees are hard at work arranging for the coming meeting not only the local Baltimore committees, but the various standing committees of the organization as well. The present plan is to bring before the next meeting a full report of the activities of colored women throughout the country. The last meeting was held at Wilberforce, Ohio, August, 1914, and was the most largely attended meeting in the history of the organization. It is expected that the Baltimore meeting will be as largely or more largely attended. Phone North 2340 1917.14th Street, N. W. Washington, D. C.

M. Thomas of the Miner. Nor- mal School opened the series by discussing before the teachers of the M Street, Armstrong and Busi- ness Schools ‘A Theory of Study.» Mr. Thomas brought to the task the result of 12 years of critical ex- ‘perience as.an enthusiastic teacher in the secondary schools, and 10 yeurs'of work and: observation in the normal’ school where he has been privileged to’ sce the work -from the kindergarten through the University, where he delivers Sat- urday lectures before.the Teachers’ College. ° A-chart prepared in’ colors. to show the diverging interests of ehil- dren at different ages was display- cd by the speaker to show the'teaeli- ers just the relation of the high school years to, the work of the whole system and to life. In addi- tion dther charts carried the lists of topies under whieh heads the subject was to be diseussed. Upon a-plea for greater-définite- ness in assignment of work, and a livelier diserimination in’ topies given to’ pupils for study, Mr. Thomas suggested that the social environment. offered problems for study -ineluding the xery - subject inatter of the course of study in the high school, and that it was just. as valuable as discipline and far more interesting and_ practicable to _dis- cover the physical principles in a modern machine like a typewriter, antomobile or printing press as to work out. carefully prepared. an- swers {0 leading questions thought ont by the teacher, In English, he urged the assignment. of problems requiring the recognition of the na- ture, or law-or faney or’ association of ideas in the work of a standard author, rather than: the study. of obsolete words, Mr. Thomas spoke of. his discov: ery in his research respecting Af- rican customs and laws, as illfistrat- ing liow history might be: vivified by study problems. ‘Thi reading the otigin and history of Anglo-Saxons. he diseovered a chapter on “Our Darker Tlued Ancestors.”’ in whieh it was shown how the Beduins of Egypt deseended froin Celts who were outlawed: from England. and migrated through Enrope and Asia. Tt was shown that many family names in England show. the. pres- ence of darker blood in an early an- cestor, as it was the enstoni to so name the families: Mr. ‘Thomas claims that it is possible to So frame a question as to stimulate in pupils a desire to answer it and a willing- ness to do the work necessary to that end. : The speaker thinks that six-year courses for pupils who are obliged to work while learning are just as important as two-year courses for others. ae: e “BIRTH OF A NATION.” The Bee has long since comé td the conclusion that this frequent agitation of and protest against the presentations of the ‘‘Birth. of ¢ Nation”? tends to advirtise the pho- to-play which pleases. the author. The white people inthis city are not foolish, ‘They know the history of the colored people and.kmow full well that the colored man. with the least grain of sense will attempt to force himself socially in the com- pany of any white person. They also know that there is more prei- ndice. or equally as’ mtich, among a certain class of colored people than there is among a certain class of white people. Now, if by show- ing this picture will’ eause those who see to go crazy and do bodily harm -to innocent colored people, then. The Bee would say protest. The Commissioners of the District of Columbia informed Prof. Law- son, Attorney “Grimke and others that they have no power to prevent the presentation ‘of this play. Let the committée, at: once, go to.Con- gress and have a special act passed that will put a.stop to all plays that tend to demoralize the morals of the people. The history of the colored Americans flatly contra- dicts the indictment that this play presents against the colored people. ‘Since this is a fact, why should we continue to advertise the play by agitation.and protest? An an- cient once was charged with being a thief. He replied to the charge i thusly: ‘‘I shall so live that the world will not believe it.’ Let our conduct be of sich a na- ture that ll put a quietus on the indictment and counts in it. The Southern white people of culture know that the “‘Birth:of a Nation” is.a false arraignment of colored Americans, : Take the ‘speech of Rev. W. Bishop Johnson that he delivered last Sunday afternoon be- fore. thé “yecum, in his church, fullyanswers tho ‘Birth of a Na- tion?’ Wait until -it is presented ‘and you will be convineed that the colored man who is charged with being: a rapist is a full-fledged American: citizen. Don’t-worry about the ‘Birth of a Nation.’’. Z TIE DOUGLASS HOTEL. We take pleasure in calling at. tention.to the new: enterprise. that is heing projected" by some of* the leading men in our. commnnity [that will mean a splendid. Srst ‘class: hotel and apartment housé.in the nation’s capital. for colored people. This movement’ promises to be a big. suecess in*eyery’ way and will fill a long felt want in Washington, where there are a hundred. thousand colored people. Tn addition’to this, sueh a hotel. will furnish’ a stopping place’ of high order for the great trayelling pub- lie among colored people that will make;Washington one of-the prin- cipal: cities for colored tourists in the country.’ ~Parthermore;* with a. first-class hotel here, an induce. ment: will be offered to colored ehnreh and ‘fraternal organizations to hold their great, conventions in this ¢ity, where those who are. in- terested in them ean. get such ac- eommodations for eating-and sleep- ing that are necessary for men and cor 1 of. means and high charaec- ter. "Teli the purpose of the-promot- ‘ors gf this hofel scheme to form A corporation that will be, headed, not !neeessirily by the men whe ‘make up the ‘temporary: organiza- tio, but by. those who purehase stork in the gnterprise and who will become ‘te ineorporators and stockholders, It was necessary, to haye a temporary organization to put the scheme afloat so that a per- marient ‘organization of stackhold- ers could later be formed. The pro: motors of this enterprise are white men who are powerful in the busi- ness life of the District of Colum- bia. and.it is their purpose to. put the project on foot and-thew turn it aver to the colored people whip will subseribe for the stock arid Tet them have the full_and ‘complete control. of it. With the plans and ‘purposes as outlined in ‘the ‘litera- ‘hire that is being put. ont, the Douglass Hotel ought soon to be- come a big, living reality. THE CATITIOLIGC CILURCIL. ‘The Bee declines to pudish any more criticisms by correspondents on the Roman.Catholie Church or any’ other. chureh, and it wants to make itself clear, if it-has not al- ready, on the question. ‘The Catholie Chureh is more lib- eral towards the colored people thin white protestants, as evidene- ed by the refusal of the white Meth- odist. Conference to clect-a colored bishop, stating ‘that white bishops never would permit a:Negro bishop to preside over a white’ bishopric conference. So different is the Catholic Church. This chureh or- ‘dains, eolored priests and The Bee is of the opinion’ that there would be. no ‘objections to colored priests preaching to a white congregation. Phe Bee advocated some time ago the propriety of the colored Ameri- can joining the Catholic Church, as it is‘about the only white chureh that will protect her meibers re- gardless of color. The Bee doesn’t claim that the Catholic Church is perfeet, but it{does claim that her rules and regulations are uniform and she has great consideration for her miembers. Tho editor of The Bee isa Pres- bvterian and his belief is that that there is one church with’ many branches and there is ‘but one way ta get into Heaven. Be just, mer- cifnl, liberal, kind, and treat your fellowman’ as you .wish +o be treated. “Take the Holy ‘Name Society : ‘Those who have. witnessed their demonstrations must’ admit that there is not the least-social discrim- ination. ‘ ‘The Been contained an ar- tiele from the Holy Name Journal about three weeks ago on the death of a colored Catholic, who was charaeterized as the Angel of the Pullman -service. This Catholic Journal devoted two colunins to the death of this colored Catholic: It was a most commendable tribute to any colored: American, regardless of his religion. Let all denomina- tions do toward the. colored man 1s the Catholic Church. . JUDGE JAMES L. PUGH. |} ~The attack of Washington Times on Judge James L: Pugh was not only cowardly but absolutely false in its statements. Seldom will. you see thé entire bar supporting a Judge for re-appointment unless he has given satisfaction. There are 90. of, 95. thousand colored citizens in the District of Columbia and there is. no doubt, were permigsion given tliese pedple to-vote, not one ‘would vote against his re-appoint- ment. * Judge Pugh-is a Southerner as 'The Bee said some time ago; he was brought.up on a farm: where colored ‘men sprung up like grass hoppers; he had, an opportunity. to know and study their temperment. He knows how to temper justice with merey. Asa rawyer he is un- surpassed as the bar knows... le dé- cides a question of law without hes- itation and is very seldom reversed. by the Court of Appeals, if at all. Asa judge, all offenders look alike to him. Tf there is a mistake ‘of judgment, he is not-too big or too infallable to correct it.- Like the the Migionette, ‘this qualities. sur- passing his’ charms,’” have drawn from the people of.all nationalities, political faith, ‘a confession of pure loye.’” : Président: Wilson, like President Cleveland, has.inade some good ju- dicial’ appointments. The re-ap- pointment- of Judge Pugh would please thousands of citizens, irré- spective of color or political faith or religious ereed. TREACHERY. Some people will resort*to many things to accomplish a notorious aet or deed: The Bee would never be.a party to an act to harm anyone personally: If at any: time the ed- itor’s political enemies attack. him he is too charitable to misrepresent, and neither Would he. resort to treachery ‘to injure them. © No_ed- itor should be too big or too proud to carreet:a misrepresentation . by treacherous correspondents. Some colored peaple crave.to read seaii- dals, ‘They would rather Fead what you say abdut another man’s: wife or husband in a divoree: proceeding than anything else. Some -people can. never seein a newspaper what you say comyilimentary of one, but they devour'with a greedy appetite the ills that appear against your neighbor, The seandal seckers are dangerous animals and there is one thing certain, virtuous and moral people refuse to intoxicate. their brains .with its odor.

Tyree & Co., Druggists, Exclusive Distributors, 15th and H Sts. N. E. Washington, D. C. OPENING THE DOOR OF OPPORTUNITY TO OUR GIRL TUNITY TO OUR GIRLS. New York City.—During the month of February nearly half a million women and girls from city and college associations as well as county associations—some of which are located in far country places—rejoiced with one accord for lo! the year of jubilee had come—the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Young Women's Christian Association in America. This is the most highly ramified women's organization in the world The movement was started fifty years ago by a group of thirty women in Boston, Massachusetts, who met to consider the needs of girls who came to that city to earn their living. Today girls of all types, all nationalities, all races, business girls, college girls, society girls, school girls in Japan, girls in India, girls all over the world stand together in one bond of fellowship, for work, for play and for service. Until the last decade little and practically nothing had been thought of the colored girl's contribution to this movement which could not possibly be complete without her. During this Jubilee just past honor was given the pioneers in this work who gave of themselves so unstintingly in those trying times of our Y. W. C. A. beginnings. Twenty years ago there were affiliated with the American Committee of Young Women's Christian Associations seven colored student associations. Associations at Clafli, Straight, Toulagoo Universities, Spelman Seminary, and the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama became affiliated in the early nineties, with what then the National Association of the Young Women's Christian Associations. There are evidences of city associations for colored women at a much earlier period. We hear of efforts at Louisville, Memphis, Columbus, Georgia, and other points. Dr. Caroline Anderson, the well-known daughter of William Still of underground railway fame, recounts the activities of a flourishing colored association in Philadelphia in the early twenties. Yet no doubt most of these efforts died for want of intelligent supervision. When the National Board was formed in 1907, Mrs. William A. Eunton was appointed to spend the winter of 1907-08 investigating the possibilities for association work among colored women, and interesting them in it. She found fourteen student associations—New York, Brooklyn, Baltimore and Washington. In 1908 Miss Elizabeth Ross was appointed to be special worker for the National Board among colored students. Miss Ross was succeeded in 1910 by Miss Cecelia Holloway, and Miss Holloway in 1912 by the present student secretary, Miss Josephine V. Pinyon. In 1910, Mrs. Elizabeth Ross Haynes and Mrs. Hunton began a systematic and intensive development of city association work among colored women, and the attempt was made to place trained secretaries in local associations. In 1913, Miss Eva D. Bowles was appointed by the National Board to have special supervision for city work. Student Work. The student work has grown to include organizations in one hundred schools, covering a territory of six states west of the Mississippi and twelve states east of the Mississippi and the District of Columbia. Fifty-three of the student associations are affiliated with the national organization, but all come under the supervision of the National Board. Week-end conferences for the purpose of strengthening unity of thought and action through discussions of technical work and Bible study have been held in Claitlin University, 1909; Talladega College, 1909; Toulougo University, 1910; Fisk University, 1910; Bishop College, 1911; Atlanta University, 1912; National Religious Training School, 1912; Prairie View State School, 1913; Jackson and Campbell Colleges, 1914. Efforts during 1915 were directed toward a ten-days' summer conference to be held during the coming summer. The number of city associations already organized is seventeen. Of these six are regularly affiliated with the National organization. Two cities have provisional organizations, and there are three clubs which are a part of a central association—Yonkers, Rochester, Kalamazoo. Building campagns were held in 1913 in New York city for $100,000, Philadelphia, $50,000, and Baltimore, $10,000. These associations are planning to erect their new buildings within the coming year. In November 1914, St. Louis, Missouri, raised $20,000 for a new building which was dedicated November 21, 1915. There has been a steady increase in the number of colored young women who attend the summer course at the National Training School, which is conducted by the National Board of the Young Women's Associations for the training of association secretaries. Sixteen women have taken training for city work. This preparation for gaining a definite knowledge of methods and principles bespeaks growing efficiency. Conferences for employed and volunteer workers resulted in a growing solidarity of the work held in New York city in 1912, Baltimore, 1913; Philadelphia, 1914; Norfolk, 1914, and Brooklyn, 1915. Miss Eva D. Bowles who is the national secretary for colored work in cities, and who has constructive plans for placing the beginnings upon a firmer foundation for the future, says: "Basing our estimate upon the past and the present status of the work, we see in the future through this organization on one of the greatest factors in the development of ideal womanhood among all women. It is the working together of women which will ultimately bring about mutual understandings and sympathies, and it is through the spirit of Jesus Christ which constantly grows more real in our lives that we may attain heights which now we see only in our visions, but which can be made real and tangible." Miss Bowles is a rare example of fine, all round Christian womanhood, whose great life interest lies in opening up to young, colored women every possible opportunity for self-expression, for a new appreciation of the real values of life, for fine Christian living, for development of the home, and Ware's Dept Store Ladies Furnishings Gents Furnishings 1832-14 N.W.

It is often said that in present days the teaching of boys and girls of good deeds and how to get along in the world peacably with others, be honest, be just and upright, is very much neglected. Very likely this statement is true, and there are many instances in which it is clearly shown that the old way of teaching and instructing the rising generation was much better than the old present. This little story will illustrate the way in which the mothers years ago gave the youth the kind of instruction which lasted during their lives. Walker Turner is very proud of his record as a man, having said to his friends that he has been employed at one place, for more than twenty years. He also reports that not one of his five brothers or three sisters have been placed on record as crecant in any way not up with the "Golden Rule." One of Walker's brothers was in the employment of a man in Washington city for more than thirty-five years and another was employed by one employer for more than twenty-eight years. Walker feels that it is a record hard to beat. In his boyhood days Walker lived with his parents in the town of Portobacco, in the county of Charles, in the state of Maryland. His parents were of the good old order people in religion. Walker said that his parents made no mincemeat of their children when they were in the wrong and that their floggings were quick and to the point. When Walker was a boy, like the other boys of the neighborhood, would go into the forest and set rabbit gums for rabbits and other small games. At one time Walker had sometimes ten rabbit gums on various parts of the plantation and as he was going out to visit them he Gents Turnishings DEPARTMENT STORE at N.

M. Dabney DIRECTOR S FOR HIRE street, to 227 K Street, N.W. K Streets, N. W. felt sure that he would find one or two rabbits. Trudging along and making examination of each, he came to one that had something in it. On looking into the gum, to his surprise noticed instead of a rabbit, a big o'possum which of course was more acceptible than even a rabbit. But on examining carefully the rabbit gum. Walker found out that it was not his property but the property of some one else because it was made out of a hollow log and his made out of a soap box. Walker's conscience told him not to molest it, but driving away his own conscience, he felt that he should take it away as his own property. When he got home with the gum and the o'possum he placed it on the cabin floor, turned to his mother, and waited for a reply. With her arms akimbo and a countenance as fierce as the sphinx of Egypt, she says: "It is not yours; it does not belong to you. You take it back where you got it; and I will go with you to see that you do as I command you." Picking up her shawl she threw it around her shoulders and started to the field with him in front. After he had reached the place where the rabbit, gum was found, she ordered him to place it down where it belonged, o'possum and all, and then make tracks for home. All this was hard on Walker, but he never said a word. On his way back his mother got a small hickory switch and when she arrived at home, she roasted it in the embers of the fire-place. Calling Walker she had him to take off his coat, pants and everything he had on and then used the hickory switch so vigorously that he cried aloud for mercy. That was the way, said Walker, feeling that he had unloaded himself of a good memory, boys and girls were taught in the neighborhood where I was born. It was a lesson I never forgot and the instructions of my parents have always been the foundation on which I have built up a name for honesty, reliability and good citizenship. J. O.

(Written for The Washington Bee: When I sit down to consider How the Negro made his way, Up the road of persecution In the night and in the day; I am forced to see injustice, In each avenue of life, Where the Negro woman's virtue Strives to conquer in the strife. More than all the other women, In these grand United States, Tis an awful tale of slander That the Negro woman relates. More than all the ills of bondage, Though from bondage; she is free, There is something that confronts her, it is immorality. You have seen throughout the South- land, Mulattoes among our race. Sons of Ham, without some other, Ne'er could cause this deep dis- grace. But it was the Southern white man, That caused such a thing to be; Robbed our women of their virtue. Just because they were not free. Negro women during slavery Gave existence every day, To mulattoes by the hundreds, And there was none who could say nay; For if they were not submissive, They were beat 'till they would bleed, Then forced while in this condition, To please their master's brutal greed. So today we find mulattoes All throughout this hemisphere, Such is lowering Negro manhood; It will ruin us, friends, I fear; For within our women's virtue, There our strength and life doth lie; And if it have is killed or trampled What have we to do but die? When a cry of shame is uttered, That a Negro has disgraced The virtue of a maiden fair— Mobs slaughter in our race; But if you would count the persons In the gangs that does the shame, You'd not find a being in it Who has not ruined some woman's name. Do we find this same protection For the women of our race? Can the Negro woman's virtue Get its vengeance for disgrace? Can they go in day or night time, To the courtrooms of the land And get justice? No, they tell them, "You're an unprotected band." If a Negro man is faithful To a dusky maidra's name, And defies these hellish spirits, Then he's murdered for the same. So you see there's no protection For the daughters of our race— Greater ill as never measured. None but her meets this disgrace. Write your name upon the limestone, And the water bids it fly; Carve your name upon Gibraltar, It will last till ages die. As that is, well, so is virtue. Just as said about a vine. "Just the way that it is started, That is how it will incline." Though abusive this injustice. Our Lord will win the fight. If we pray to him in earnest, He will make our burdens light. So just let the Southern white man Plan our Negro women's shamie— God that rules with eyes of justice. Will some day regain her name. —By I. Gustavus R. Ford. NATIONAL NEWS NOTES. Brief Bits of News and Comment on Men's Soccer Under Order The treaty between the United States and the republic of Haiti ratified by the Senate, may be said to constitute a sequel to the latest of a series of tragic chapters in the history of the most turbulent island in the western hemisphere. It is the hone of the element in Haiti that has been striving for years to crush, out the revolutionary tendency among the people, and to promote orderly and stable government, as it is, the hone of the United States, that the signing of this convention will start the little country on the road, to peace and prosperity. The treaty seems to have been drawn with the purpose of establishing in the island a benevolent despotism. Perhaps this is the best that could be done in the present circumstances. The conditions are extraordinary, and doubtless they had to be met in kind. But the establishment of benevolent despotisms, is hardly the proper function of a democracy, and it must be difficult for any all-wisher of the United States, to refrain from hoping that it may proceed along this line only far enough to place the objects of its philanthropy on their feet and in a position to do for themselves. $3,500,000 Bonds for Georgia. For lack of funds Georgia has been compelled to hold-up the salaries of school teachers, and recently has had to place an additional $3,500,000 bond issue on the market. Several cities and counties of Georgia, however, derive considerable revenue from licensing beer saloons, otherwise the deficit would be still larger. Prohibition in Georgia has been the means of stimulating the illicit 'sale of intoxicants on a scale never before experienced. There were $02 illicit distilleries seized in 1914 as against 373 in 1906. Crime Cost Doubled. It was boldly stated before the law passed that the saloon was the cause of crime and that once it was extinguished the police force of the state would be greatly reduced; but the results have not borne out this theory. There have been so many violations of the prohibition law, and so varied were the surreptite methods employed, that in Nashville, Memphis and Chattanooga it has been found that if the law was to be even partially enforced a much larger police force was necessary. The employment of these extra "WHY PERSECUTEST THOU ME?" A Notable Illustration of Zeal Without Knowledge—Reproved From on High. Saul's Deep Contition an Evidence of Genuine Repentance—His Eyes of Understanding Opened—St. Paul's "Thorn in the Flesh." "Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptance, that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners of whom I am chief." —I Timothy 1:15, R. V. HOEVER thinks of Saul's transformation from an enemy of Christ and His Church to a friend and zealous servant as an experience on a par with the conversion of sinners is greatly in error. Such conduct as is related in today's Study is not the conduct of sinners, enemies of God. The account of Saul's enlightenment in the Gospel is the account of a most noble character which commands the respect of every class in every time. Saul of Tarsus was a loyal, true member of the favored nation of Israel, thoroughly consecrated to God and serving the Lord to the best of his ability, but blinded for the time by prejudice and misconception. The Master chose the original Twelve because they were Israelites indeed; and He gave them the instruction needed for his service. This He did also for Saul, though in a striking manner. The word conversion signifies a turning about in an opposite direction. But Saul was already going in the right direction—a whole-hearted service of God—although his efforts were being expended upon the wrong thing. Apparently the circumstances connected with the stoning of St. Stephen only incited Saul to greater energy in stamping out what he believed, to be heresy. The Jewish priesthood was granted considerable power under the Roman government. They could authorize arrests and imprisonments for infractions of their religious rites and regulations. Saul, exercising the same respect to law and authority that subsequently mark- be believed to be heresy. The Jewish priesthood was granted considerable power under the Roman government. They could authorize arrests and imprisonments for infractions of their religious rites and regulations. Saul, exercising the same respect to law and authority that subsequently marked his dealings and teachings as a Christian, went about the persecution of Christians in the manner recognized as legal under the sanction of the highest religious tribunal. Let us remember that nearly all persecutions have been sanctioned by some human law, and regulate ourselves according to the Divine code. Misdirected Zeal Reproved. Today's Study is St. Luke's account of the opening of the eyes of Saul's understanding, and was doubtless received from the Apostle Paul himself, who gave two other accounts. (See Acts 22:61-11; 26:2-29). These accounts are in practical agreement, and show only such variations as might be reasonably expected, considering the fact that they were delivered under different conditions. Had they been exactly alike, there would have been just cause for 'supposing' a special preparation of the text with this harmony in view. Saul's feelings, as he heard from the Lord of Glory a reproof of his misdirected zeal, can be better imagined than described. Nevertheless, we can but admire the promptness with which he at once ceased his opposition and placed himself on the side of Him whose Cause he held so recently persecuted. How deep a hold the matter took upon his mind may be judged from the fact that he neither ate nor drank for three days. He could not think lightly of his blinded course. Deep contrition is always good evidence of genuine repentance of wrong. We may reasonably suppose that those three days of blindness and fasting were also days of prayer and reflection, during which he diligently compared the testimony of the Law and the Prophets with what he knew of the Nazarete and His teachings. His natural sight had been destroyed, but his mental vision had been opened. Now he saw matters in a new and wonderful light. ```markdown ``` Although Saint's sight was miraculously restored, yet we are not informed that his eyes were made whole. It has been surmised, and we think with good reason, that the continued weakness of his eyes constituted what he terms "a thorn in the flesh." 42 Corinthians, 12:7-10). Although he was granted many gifts of the Spirit, and exercised the gift of healing upon many others, yet the Lord did not relieve him from his own weakness in this respect. We are inclined to regard the Apostle Paul as in some sense of the word a type of the nation of Israel. Amongst the Jews are many who seem to be Israelites indeed, merely blinded as both the Priest and the Apostle have described (Romans 11.7-12). That nation whose blinding took place during the Fifth Thousand-year Day, and which has been blinded throughout the entire Sixth Thousand-year Day, will have its eyes opened on the Seventh Thousand-year Day — the Millennial Age. When the due time shall have fully come, the Lord will send some Anunias, who will touch under Divine favor shall bring sight. Promises Exceeding Precious—No Many Great or Wise In Worldly Things*Believe—Chiefly the Poor and Humble—This Class the Truly Great and Wise—God's Truth Gives True Learning and Spirit of a Sound Mind Terms of High Calling Definite Glorious End of Heavenly Way. Roanoke, Va. March 26—Pastor Russell delivered a very impressive address here to day, taking for his text 2 Peter 14—God hath given unto us exceeding great and precious promises, that by these we might be parakers of the Divine nature." PASTOR RUSSELL God designs that the Church, the Royal Priesthood, shall, when completed and glorified, occupy positions of great honor and responsibility, the speaker began. They will be kings judges, priests, throughout the thou sand years of the Messianic Reign Moreover, they will be the honored associates of our Lord Jesus throughout eternity, spirit holiness of the very high est order—the Divine nature. In selecting this class God is looking for those only who truly love righteousness and hate, iniquity; for should any one be exalted to so high a position who has any sympathy whatever will sin, the result would be disastrous. The Taster then explained that this class of truly consecrated ones are all spirit-begotten New Creatures in Christ. God is not judging them according to their unavoidable, weaknesses and imperfections, the result of the Adamic fall, but according to their hearts and their earnest endeavors. He does not expect perfect works in an imperfect body; but He seeks a perfect heart and an overcoming spirit, with as nearly perfect conduct as they are able to render through His grace. By this merciful arrangement the blessing of the Lord hath made this class rich. While He has not given them perfect righteousness as yet, nor arthelthy He has imputed it to them, through their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Additionally, the Spirit of the Lord gives His people rest of heart and souder judgment than they had before. (2 Timothy 1:7.) Often it increases their physical health and their mental efficiency. It renders a business man more capable and conscientious, and hence more valuable, than before; it makes a housewife more orderly, more sensible, than before she became a Christian. It helps parents to set a good example to their children, to train their children more carefully, to bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord Why God Chooses the Poor. Scriptures were quoted to demonstrate that not many of earth's wise or great or noble are called of God; but chiefly the weak ones of this world. This, the Pastor declared, is because those who naturally are poor and ignorable feel more keenly their weakness, and long for something better that God can give. The lowly-minded are thus in a proper heart attitude to realize their need and to come to God. It is not advantageous, he asserted, to be rich in this world's wealth, either socially or financially; for during the next Age such will find it difficult to adjust themselves to the new conditions which will then obtain. Few are willing to walk in the way of humility and self-albination; but to those who do a great blessing come, A work of transformation, goes on within them. These poor and lowly ones are the truly rich, from the Divine standpoint, and the most learned—learned in Heavenly wisdom, the only true wisdom, acquired in the School of Christ. This class is now on trial for life or death everlasting. The world is not now on trial for life or death, although their present course will have a bearing upon their future. The vast majority of those in heqhten lands have no knowledge whatever of Christ. Very many in Christendom so-called have very little real knowledge of Him, although many of them attend meetings more or less regularly where Christ's name is spoken and where hymns are sung. There was a similar class in our Lord's day; and they joined in crucifying the Lord of Glory. Of them St. Peter said, "I wot that in ignorance we did it." Acts 3:17. The class who know Christ are those who have accepted the terms of discipleship, laid down by the Master (Matthew 16:24). This means that one must give up his own will to take in stead the will of the Lord Jesus Christ who represents the Father. Whenever plus not done this has not been accepted of God. Much more is necessary than merely to abandon sin. Nobody ever had a right to live a wicked or immoral life. Jesus is the only Way into the Family of God. In consecration, the first step is to deny one's self the second is to adopt God's will, to take up the cross and follow Christ. These two steps every one must take who would enter the true Church, "whose names are written in Heaven" - Hebrews 12:23.

MOTORING NEWS AND HINTS To Washington's Colored Motoring Public. By Charles Skinner. THE GREAT FLORAL PARADE OF THE WASHINGTON BEE. The promoters of this event are desirous of bringing this occasion to such a standard that it will be a nation-wide event. Every colored automobile owner is earnestly requested to enter and take part in this festival. The endorsement and co-operation of some of the leading business and professional men have already been secured for this event. The procession is to be composed of a number of pleasure cars to be decorated to compete for a prize in their division and a number of commercial cars, the best decorated of which will also receive a prize. To also make this a more notable and brilliant event the plans are being started now, so all those desiring to enter the parade are requested to fill out the blank below and mail to the Automobile Editor of The Washington Bee. 1109 Eye' street. The starting point of the parade will be at Thirteenth and S streets. The procession will follow S street out to Sixth, turning north at Sixth to T, then west out T, all the way to New Hampshire avenue. Upon reaching this point, turn south to Eighteenth street, keeping straight down Eighteenth street to Massachusetts avenue; at this intersection, bear to the east and follow Massachusetts avenue down to Sixteenth street, thence turn south until H street is reached. Turning to the east again at H to Executive avenue, following this avenue down and around the back of the Treasury Building into Pennsylvania avenue, down to Second street at which point we disband. As the procession is expected to be a long one you are earnestly requested to mail your blank early and secure a prominent place in line, as there will be no favoritism or partiality shown. It is expected that every colored man or woman who has a machine of any kind will take part. THE FLORAL PARADE. The Greatest in the History of the Colored People.
