Washington Bee

IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE VOL. XXXVII, NO. 1 WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY JUNE 3, 1916 MAJ. MOTON IS INSTALLED Tuskegee Institute's New Principal is Installed at Impressive Exercises. Tuskegee, Ala., May 25—Robert Russa Moton, former commandant at Hampton Institute, Virginia, was installed as principal of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute today under circumstances particularly impressive. This being the first installation of a principal of Tuskegee Institute, the interest of the whole nation, both white and black, was focussed on Tuskegee. For several weeks friends of Principal Moton and old friends of the late Dr. Washington had been sending in letters indicating their intention to be present. For more than a week before the commencement exercises began these visitors started their pilgrimage to Tuskegee. Special cars came; not only from Montgomery, Opelika and other points in the state, but also from Chicago, from Virginia and other points north. The inaugural exercise in the afternoon were preceded by an imposing procession. In the line of march were Southern and Northern trustees of the Institute, the Principal-elect, officers and teachers; representatives of colleges and universities, visitors, members of the Tuskegee Institute Alumni Association, and the graduating class which followed the student body. Beginning on the Tuskegee Institute Battalion grounds, the students formed their line of march, joined in front of the Carnegie Library by the faculty, trustees, visitors and Alumni. The line then threaded its way down through the Tuskegee Institute campus by way of White Hall, Douglass Hall up the hill by Pinehurst and then in straight line to the Chapel. Booker. T. Washington misses In reviewing the line of march, and indeed throughout the commencement exercise, for that matter, the older teachers present and those visitors who frequent Tuskegee could but miss the presence of Washington. They missed his promptness in heading the line, and his presence in carrying things forward. This was not only noticed particularly on commencement Sunday, but even before the season began. It is a practice of the graduating class to form a line and march through the campus, singing "Auld Lang Syne." Many evenings while they were rehearsing this song the thought of the absence of him who had so often presided at commencement 'season and who enjoyed so much the senior exercises brought tears to the eyes of teachers and students at the very thought of having the season without him. However, as far as carrying out the general program is concerned, and having everything in its place and everything on time, the spirit of the man was still at Tuskegee Institute. Exercises Have Characterized Snapping. From beginning to end that commencement exercises had that snap and go which for twenty years have characterized commencement at Tuskegee Institute. The sermon was preached last Sunday by Dr. C. B. Wilmer, rector St. Luke's Episcopal Church, Atlanta, Ga. The officers of the Tuskegee Institute have followed the custom inaugurated by the late principal of the Institute, Dr. Booker T. Washington, who had this sermon preached each year by a Southern white man. Text of Sermon. Dr. Wilmen spoke from the text: "You shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free." He spoke first of all of having introduced Booker Washington the last time he made a public address in the city of Atlanta, at which time he referred to him as "The apostle of common sense and good will," and also as a "good American." Dr. Wilmer also called attention to the fact that he and Booker Washington were born in Virginia about the same time in adjoining counties, and of the interest he always had in Booker Washington's career, and in the school which he founded and for so many years conducted. ducted. Rural School: Is Theme. The theme of the commencement program today dealt with the rural school. While every graduating student spoke on his trade, he nevertheless wove his discussion into that of the rural school, showing how the people on the farm, or how the student, himself, in working on the farm, could use a given trade for the improvement and advancement of the community through the rural school. Peculiar Incident. For the first time in the history of the Tuskegee Institute, the two commencement speakers having the highest honors were children of members of the Tuskegee Institute faculty. The salutatorian was Clarissa Mae Scott, daughter of Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the school, and the valedictorian was Charles H. Gobson, Jr., son of Charles H. Gobson, Sr., chief account of the Institute. of the intérieur the historian's subject was: "Beautifying the Rural School Ground." After welcoming the visit and friends and referring in a touching and graceful way to the absence of Dr. Washington, she am- nounced her theme. She stated that beautifying the rural school grounds was vital, not only because of its attractiveness but because it taught lessons to the community and rendered the people content where they were. As is the custom at Tuskegee Institute, all the papers except the valedictory were illustrated. The orchestra stand was converted into a landscape; that is, the stand was covered with a thick layer of earth of various kinds. Here the speaker demonstrated by handling spade and rake, how to grade a walk, how to plant flowers, how to lay off and plant a garden, and how to plan a school play ground. Then coming down from the orchestra stand she took a willow basket which had been made by the young woman who had the subject on "Handicrafts," and putting in moss and herbs, planted several ferns and other flowers. When she finished planting these in the box she hung the box up in the dining room, which also came into one of the subjects of the theme. How to Build Rural School. Following the discussion of the rural schools, Horbert Lee Clark, of Auburn, showed how a rural school should be built. The third speaker discussed the subject: "Teaching Rural Handicrafts." This young woman, Tommie G. Gauntt, of Tallassane, showed the value of having handicrafts taught in the various rural communities. Problems of Poultry Raising. Alfred Xuma, of Eugocbo, South Africa, spoke on "Problems in Poultry Raising." He demonstrated to the audience how to test eggs, how to feed chickens and how to manage an incubator. He in his paper Montgomery county alone had imported $200,000 worth of poultry products during the past year. If he showed the farmers, through the Children's and Grown People's Poultry clubs, were taught to raise these poultry products on their own farms they could save that money and thus go that much farther towards keeping out of debt. Rural Plumbing Explained. Rherbert R. Gallill, of Charleston, South Carolina, attracted a great deal of attention by showing how plumbing could be done in a room, a storage-place that is, how the family's wife and the farmer, too, could have water in the home and their stock watered around the house rather than going down to spring or brook. "Lessons in the Production of the Sweet Potato" were discussed by Emmanuel Lisk of Brookhaven, Miss. "Serving a Rural School Dinner" was the subject of Pauline A. Wiley of Pine Bluff, Ark. She had on the platform a dining room table which during her discussion she sat up and decorated with wild flowers. The valedictorian, Charles H. Gibson, of Tuskegee Institute, spoke on "Training the Country Boy for Life." As each subject had been outlined by the salutatian, so Gibson summarized each in his valedictorian before discussing his own subject. He pointed out that boys and girls taught in the way suggested by these subjects would be happy, intelligent farmers, independent of city life, surrounding themselves with all the conveniences of any people. His farewell were quite touching and impressive, thanking the acting principal for what he had done during the years of his labors here, and wishing the principal elect happiness in his new field of service. Inauguration Exercises. Inauguration Exercises The afternoon exercises on commencement day opened with a general demonstration of as many industries as could be staged on the chapel platform. At the blowing of the whistle a number of students came on just as they go to work every day, wearing their overalls or work uniforms. At the sounding of the second whistle all set to work. The blacksmith proceeded to shoe a horse, which was also on the platform, while the veterarian dressed the horse's teeth. A young woman on another part of the stage was cooking a meal, another was washing a waist, another was ironing, the carpenter was roofing a house, the students from the canning factory were putting up sweet potatoes, another milked a cow, and so representing some twenty-odd industries. This marked the beginning of the afternoon exercises on the one hand and closed the students' part of the program, on the other. After the singing of the "Anvil Chorus" by the Institute choir the inaugural exercises began. Formal Address Made. Formal Address Made. Dr. Hollis Burke Frissell, principal of the Hampton Agricultural and Industrial Institute, made the first formal address of the afternoon. Dr. Frissell has been principal of Hampton Institute since the death of General Samuel Chapman Armstrong, under whom both Washington and Moton were trained. Dr. Frissell was a teacher at the Hampton Institute during the time that both Washington and Moton were pupils in that far-famed institution. He paid an eloquent tribute to the principal-elect and prophesied an administration which should seek to carry out the methods which had been so successfully put in operation by Booker T. Washington. Dr. H. T. Kealing, president of Western University, Quindaro, Kan., spoke on behalf of institutions for colored youth. Dr. Kealing is one of the most eloquent speakers of the negro race, and helped up to his reputation today. Mr. Moton Presented. The principal-elect was presented 1920 SENATOR JOHN W. WEEKS. Thus Far, the Massachusetts Senator Leads All Presidential Candidates. by William G. Willecox of New York City, a trustee of the Institute, who is president of the New York City board of education. He was greeted as he rose to speak with enthusiastic applause, which came from students, teachers and the large number of visitors present. It seemed really like welcoming an old friend, because Major Moton is not only well known at Tuskegee Institute, but has been considered in a way as a part of the Tuskegee Institute for many years. Moreover, he had been at Tuskegee Institute for the last week or so working among both students and teachers, and those who had not known him had come to consider him as one of the Tuskegee Institute big family, and had well adopted him by the time he was inaugurated. Principal Moton's address was listened to attentively: He pledged himself to carry out the policies inaugurated by Booker T. Washington and spoke in part as follows: Enthusiastically Greeted. "While the outlook was never more hopeful, the negro problem is not yet solved," said Major Moton. "While there is great encouragement in the fact that seventy per cent. of the negro population can read and write it is not safe to assume that seventy per cent. of the negroes are really and truly educated. Our progress in this country has been wonderful and we have every reason for rejoicing; but shiftlessness, disease, inefficiency and crime are entirely too prevalent among our people. Color and conduct still count in this question, but let us remember that conduct counts more than color." Major Moton reminded his hearers that in his last talk from the same platform Dr. Washington spoke on the importance and value of teamwork. "If teamwork was necessary in this school under the leadership of Dr. Washington," he cotinued, how much more imperative it is now that we have not the help and inspiration of his words ad presence." Must Maintain Same Spirit. "If we are to be true to the great and sacred trust," he continued, "if we are to carry out the aims and purposes of Booker T. Washington, we must each cherish and maintain the life which has always permeated the life and work of this school—the spirit of self, forgetfulness—the service of service and sacrifice—the Tuskegee spirit—the spirit of co-operation and consecration. It is only in this spirit that the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute can cotinue to render service to the negro, to the state and to the nation." Major Moton was selected to succeed Dr. Washington by a unanimous vote of a special committee of the board of trustees of the institute in New York on December 20 last. In making the choice the committee referred to him as "another forceful personality." He was born in Amelia county, Virginia, in 1867, and spent his early years on the Vaughn plantation in Prince Edward county. His mother was cook at the big house and his father led the hads on the plantation. He was sent to Hampton drill-master and assistant commandant of cadets. In 1890, he became commandant, a position which he held until his election as principal at Tuskegee. Of the eight thousand persons attending the exercises there were 700 white people, and among them, some of the most prominent personages in the state and the south as well as north.

The pledge of the Alumni to raise $10,000 for a gymnasium, to which the trustees were to add $15,000, is still being pushed and besides individual donations which are being made, the president of the Alumni, Shelby J. Davidson, is making some satisfactory headway in a plan to have each alumnus contribute to this fund at or before the coming celebration of the fifteenth anniversary one dollar each for each year since graduation. Should this meet with general approval, as is indicated by the enthusiasm which has greeted the announcement, this will form one of the complete, tangible efforts of Howard's Alumni. Another feature which promises great returns in point of Alumni numbers at the coming celebration is the reunion of classes, which have been out from the University for any number of years, most prominent in this respect is a class which will celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary and is already circulating its members to that end. HARMONY CEMETERY. The Ceremonies at Harmony Cemetery on Decoration Day were under the auspices of Charles Summer Post No. 9, Nelson J. Booker, commander, assisted by Summer Relief Corps, Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, president, and the first Separate Battalion, Major James E. Walker, Commander. Addresses were made by commander.

A striking coincidence is here recorded. As the presiding officer of the General Conference on Tuesday, May 23, it fell to the honor of Bishop Thirkield to introduce Missionary Bishop-elect for Africa, A. P. Camphor, D.D., an early graduate of Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Ga., to the conference. The presiding officer stated that Dr. Camphor wrote the first hymn for Africa in the contest under the Stewart Missionary Foundation for Africa, and was the first negro missionary to go to Liberia under Bishop Hartwell. The same week the Rev. Dr. W. H. Beckett was elected & bishop by the General Conference of the African Methodist MARY HARRIS Episcopal Church in session this month in Philadelphia. Bishop Beckett is also a graduate of Gammon Theological Seminary. Dr. R. E. Jones, another graduate of Gammon, received a large vote for bishop in the General Conference now in session at Saratoga Springs. It will be of more than passing interest to note that many of the leaders in the colored conferences of our church, as well as in all the colored churches in America, graduated during its early years from Gammon Theological Seminary, and under the presidency of Bishop Thirkleid, of which, for the first two years, he was the only teacher. Seventeen members of this General Conference are graduates of Gammon Theological Seminary.—From the Daily Christian Advocate.

LEE A Worthy and Distinguished Citizen Dead—Hundreds Review the Remains—Funeral Services from His Church—A Brilliant Record. Rev. James H. Lee, D. D., pastor of the Third Baptist Church, 5th and Q street N. W., Washington, D. C., was born May 1, 1844, in Arundle Co. Md. His boyhood days were sp-t in Annapolis, Md. and for several years he was employed by the Governor of the State, at the State House in Maryland; as early as ten years of age he professed faith in Christ, Jesus, and joined church at Annapolis, Md., was u dutiful and faithful member; and when the rebellion between the north and the south occurred, at the age of seventeen years, he went with the United States Army to Newport, Rhode Island, and served honorably the United States Government, and finally he accepted a position in the second State Maryland Regiment at Camp Carroll, being located at different parts in the State, and in Virginia. In 1864, Dr. Lee lead to the altar, Miss Alice R. Johnson, of Washington, D. C., the ceremony being performed by the then Rev. Samuel W. Madden, at the 19th street Baptist Church, of which Miss Johnson was a member, as a result of this union twelve children were born, most of whom died in infancy, or early childhood. After thirty-six years of happy married life with this wife she died May 31st, 1900, leaving the following children surviving: Mrs. Nanna R. Nash, Los Angeles, Cal.; Mrs. Clara B. Allen, of Washington, D. C., and Mrs. Ella Lee, of Brockton, Mass. Later, he married Mrs. Harriet Ricks, a widow, the ceremony being performed by the Rev. W. J. Howard, D. D.; her children being by her first husband Mrs. Hattie Ricks Taylor, and Mrs. Luhu Steele, who survive. J. Dr. Lee was on July 8, 1865 baptized and received into the Third Baptist Church, which was then at the corner of 4th and L street N. W, where for five years in succession he was elected church clerk. On November 19, 1865, he was granted a license to preach, and immediately he began the work of his calling, preaching to large audiences in West Washington, Alexandria, Va., and Baltimore, Md. In 1869, he joined Peter Ogden Lodge, No. 1374 of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, and has been an active church member and shepherd, up to the day of his death. In 1872, at the Salem Baptist Church, in New Bedford, Mass., prevailed upon him, and he accepted the call to its pastorate; he was ordained to the Baptist Ministry, however, by the Third Baptist Church, when it had moved from 4th and L street N. W. to H street between 7th and 9th, and thence to the south side of Franklin street in a frame dwellings between New Jersey Avenue and 5th street N. W. The late Rev. W. B. Jefferson, at the time, being its pastor. Almost at the same time he received the call to Massachusetts, the North Street Baptist Church of Baltimore, Md., which had a large membership, extended Rev. Lee a call to its pastorate, and this he was compelled to refuse, because of his previous acceptance of the Massachusetts call, and where he served honorably for thirteen years, and on account of ill health in the fourteenth year, he was compelled to resign, but before so doing, July 1, 1885, he assisted at the ordination service of his successor in office; Rev. Andrew Chamberlain. Dr. Lee was first prepared for the ministry in his heart and soul by early christian home training, and then he took a course at Dr. Turned's school here in Washington, also at the First National Theological School, Howard University and Ivy Institute, of this City. Dr. Lee was called back to Washington, March 19, 1886, he being a member of the Third Baptist Church and its Church clerk, after prayerful consideration, and upon the unanimous request of the church members he returned to Washington with his family, preached his introductory sermon to the church, May 9, 1886 and was installed pastor. May 30, 1886; and he has expressed himself to his church members and co-workers that he loved the members individually and collectively as a church, and had the highest respect and esteem for his deacons, trustees, and church members, and more than a year ago he called in conference some of his closer members as advisors, and it was suggested that (Continued to page 4.) FUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) The recent election had no effect on the Washington Bee. The greatest floral parade, under the direction of the auto. editor, Charles L. Skinner, was the greatest street parade that has ever been pulled off in this city, except the emancipation parades, with their social leaders, Chase and Marshal and Carson. The denizens of Avenue de Nig were out in force. The stay outs of the parade pronounced it a failure, after Editor Skinner refused to allow at least three dozen to enter, after they failed to send in entrance blanks. Speaking about that floral parade my genial friend, Andrew J. Thomas, must have borrowed that car or some one gave it to him. Andrew never would he so bold as to purchase a car. Did you see him? Lord Chesterfield was laid in the shade. Full dress did you say? Why he was dressed in immaculate style. Kid gloves and a bed of flowers. There was none in his class. He went in to win and he carried off the first prize, with an encore from all Washington. All Washington was out. You may not like The Bee, but Bro. Calvin just put one over on all of his critics and knockers. While the Sage was standing at the corner of Avenue de Nig and near Howard Theater when Andrew's charlie came along, a chocolate brown remark, "He looks good to me." If the gay Adonis had seen his Venus he never would have deserted her, but, undoubtedly he would have left the parade. Doc. Williston was under the weather this week. He was dazed when the election board put him out of business. I told Doc. that he would have a better knowledge of politics after the battle. R. Wordy Thompson, who seems to take such an active part in the political game, seems to be suffering from the effects of wind colle. His bellows puffs weekly in the Freeman but his wind is only artificial. I have endeavored to give him fair consideration, but he is not inclined to behave himself. If the Sage opens upon him again, he will be put out of business for all time to come. The school question will take another turn in a few weeks. Watch the prediction of the Sage. The candidates of Lord Fauntelroy are numerous. He is for them all, but the Judges of the Supreme Court will see to it that men will be placed on the board of education who are interested in the schools and not in how to get even with the worthy. There are at least a dozen candidates. Dr. C. W. Childs is not wanted by Lord Fauntelroy, and yet it was Dr. Childs who has saved him from decapitation. This is the only objection the people have to his retention. A change in the head of the colored schools is an absolute necessity. Mr. Thompson is determined to push his charges and it is regretted that a certain board member should waste his good offices to retain this individual in the face of the charges. I would suggest for the good of the schools that a longer effort to retain her cease. The reward that was offered a few days ago for the apprehension of the party or parties who circulated a report concerning the sudden appearance of the absent wife will be brought to a climax. The reward will not go very far so the gossips say. Suppose a little innocent amusements are carried on in the absence of the wife, whose business is it? Doctor says that the evil designed persons have things mixed. He is not correctly connected. Dr. is a great fellow. He takes life as he finds it. He is a jolly good fellow and never attempts to harm any one. Those who are circulating these stories are in a similar boat and the Sage knows it. Ralph W. Tyler made some run in Ohio. Burton threw Ralph down and should he be the lucky nominee, Burton will have the Ohio colored contingent to oppose. I don't want to predict what will be done, but I know Tyler. He never forgets. There will be some fun in Chicago. The progressives have been, weighed in the balances and found wanting in weight. Doc Williston is in Chicago. He is anxious to see the great convention, Doc will have another thought coming to him before the convention adjourns. SCHOOL ATHLETIC NOTES. All Star Baseball Team—Washington High Schools. By Edwin B. Henderson. C. Parker, 1st base, Armstrong; S. Harris, captain, 2d base, Armstrong; E. Brown, 3d base, Armstrong; E. Taylor, s. s. M Street; C. Green, c. f. M Street; A. Smith, r. f., Armstrong; W. Makell, l. f., Armstrong; I. Cupid, catcher, Armstrong; P. Hughes, pitcher, Armstrong; W. Turnip, pitcher, M Street Armstrong Manual Training School team easily won the baseball championship in the high school series of the Public Schools Athletic League, M. Street and Commercial did not prove the contenders their supporters thought they would. The biggest disappointment was the showing of the Commercial High squad. This team, containing in its ranks the mainstays of the winning aggregation of past years, made a miserable showing due to the entire lack of form of these very men whose work has in the past entitled them to so much recognition. Other players on the team did fairly well. The M Street aggregation was composed of but one or two seasoned players, the majority of the players being, in the first school, year. The close of the season found the team a first rate group, that presages for a splendid ball team in the years to come. Armstrong players won the championship for their school the first time in many years. The team was strong on paper and exhibited its strength in the field. M Street High School and the team representing the Cardozo Vocational School will probably play a game to decide the best team in the freshman or junior league series. M Street has beaten Commercial and Armstrong freshmen and Cardozo has scored one victory over the O Street Vocational School. Another game, will be played between the Vocational Schools and the winner of the series will meet the winner of the high school freshman series. Mr. W. H. J. Beckett, of the Y. M. C. A., will head the committee in charge of the Municipal games on the Fourth of July. Entry blanks and information will be given at the Y. M. C. A. Athletes would do well to get information and blanks as early as they can and be ready before the last day for entries is at hand. One of the best track and field meets in the history of the Public Schools Athletic League was held on the Cardozo playground yesterday afternoon. John F. Cook School of the.11th division won the meet with a total of 76 points, while its nearest competitor secured only 33 points in the summary of points. To Dr. Washington, president of the Division League, and coach of the team, belongs credit for the results of the Cook School athletes. Chairman James Hunter, of the championship games committee, in connection with Mr. Fred Randall, director of the playground, so planned events and made arrangements that the events were the smoothest of the games yet staged outdoors. The boys of the schools entered show a remarkable improvement over other years in the manner in which they understand the order of competition, and conduct themselves in competition. High school athletes bore the brunt of the work of officiating at the games and showed familiarity with the rules of the various events. The officials: Referee, Major James E. Walker; Judges at the finish, R. Green, B. E. Madden, Hyman B. Brent; judges of field events, Messrs. Monroe, Cupid, Thornton, Smith, Parker, Powell, Locke, Hayes, scorer, J. F. N.

WASHINGTON THEATRICALS. At last the time has arrived when our people can see the colored actors as the people in other cities do. Without fear of contradiction, we know we have the greatest and most beautiful play house for our people in the world and what we did need, we have now—that was players that were in keeping with the house. The beautiful Howard Theater under the management of A. J. Thomas is now producing all Broadway productions with an all star colored cast. The plays are well staged and the artists simply divine so far and we look for great results. The Quality Amusement Corporation of New York is the promoter of this great field and deserves great credit. Too much cannot be said in their praise. It is true that such a combination as A. J. Thomas and S. H. Dudley sell dem gets together. Few know that for the past three years S. H. Dudley has been Mr. Thomas' special representative in booking vaudeville, and when both of these gentlemen went to New York a few days ago to look over the shows that are now playing the Howard, what was their motive? The answer is, look what's here now. It has often been said that Thomas and Dudley were in opposition to one another. What a foolish remark. These two men are men to be proud of and it is a pity that more of us do not follow in their footsteps and work in unity and stop fighting. These two Thespians can see the benefit of unity and have united in the business world and some day they W. CALVIN CHASE AND PERRIE W. FRISBY, ATTYS.

With Mr. Thomas' keen eye of business and Mr. Dudley's show experience, there is nothing but success due these young men. At last Washington has become a show town for our people. We now have the best artists of our race playing real dramatic plays at the Howard Theater, and light vaudeville at the cozy little S. H. Dudley Theater on You street, so you have a chance to see all of what our people are doing in the theatrical world and you should support it. You are supporting it or we would not have it, but it must be kept up, so go tonight and send some of your family and friends every night to show these ambitious young men, and these promoters that we do appreciate their efforts. If you like dramatic plays, you have them at the Howard; if you want vaudeville, you find it at the S. H. Dudley Theater; so whatever you want, you have it right here in Washington. It would ot surprise the writer to see grand opera at the Howard by our own people. Think of it and support it if it comes, and if it doesn't come, support whatever we are offered. This will be an inducement for it to come. DO YOU KNOW THAT? Dirty hands spread much disease? A high bred dog has a right to have his birth registered—so has a baby? The U. S.

CALVIN CHASE, EDITOR Entered at the Post Office at Washington, D. C., as second-class mail matter. ESTABLISHED 1880 . TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION. One year in advance ..... $2.00 Six months ..... 1.00 Three months ..... 50 Subscription monthly ..... 20 Wife of Tuskegee President Forbiden to Travel in Coach With White People, Montgomery, Ala., May. 30.—Mrs. Robert B Morton, wife of the president of Tuskegee Institute, was ejected from a Pullman car at Troy, while enroute back to Hampton. Va. Mrs. Morton was accompanied by Balanton Morton, brother of Maj. Morton. The couple secured Pullman berths in Montgomery, it is said, and between Montgomery and Troy, Ala., the white passengers made objection and an officer was called when the train stopped at Troy. The train was held while the couple were moved forward to the regular negro car to the front of the train, and the rest of the night was spent in that coach. Statement by Maj. Morton. Maj. Morton stated yesterday that he specifically advised against trying to travel in a Pullman, but he presumed, if the Troy report is some one else had heard differently when he sailed to Montgomery He said his wife had visted this section once before, some five years ago, but had come through on a special car and had return the same day. She came to Tuskegee last week on a special car from Hampton. Maj. Morton stated that he was absolutely regardful of southern opinion, inasmuch as he was born in the south. He has lived, worked and traveled all over the south, he said, and has never sought to override southern public opinion in the matter of racial relationship. The Bee, at the time Major Moten was named by a committee of apologists, it said then that he was a "Hand Picked Leader." The condition of the colored race in this country is due to these "hand-picked leaders." Now in the first place Major Moten represents a class of white men and not the Colored Americans. He is not only a "hand-picked leader" but an apologist who fails to resent an insult. Would any American white man of any any nationality attempt to make excuses for an insult to his wife by a common carrier. Has this not been the policy of all hand picked leaders? This hand picked representative apologizes for the insult offered his wife while enroute to her home. Will Major Moten, this newly installed principal of Tuskegee, enter a suit for damages? No, he would offer an insult to those who had insulted his good wife. The Bee has always been an admirer of Major Moten, and thought that he possessed manly traits, that would commend him to the thoughtful consideration of the American black race, but the Bee must confess that he is a hand picked leader and an apologist. WHY NEGROES FAIL. The Washington colored business man doesn't seem to take the interest in enterprises as people of other states. There seems to be a fever of deception and a monster of jealousy among certain colored people in this city. The so-called intelligent and educated colored man is more prejudiced towards the race's advancement than the ignorant classes. The successful colored business men in this city are those who make no claims to a college education. The so-called college man in business knows too much to succeed and he is too proud to get down to business. The colored man in business, with but a few exceptions, doesn't seem to catch on. He has not the power of conception in competing with his more fortunate white competitors and those who are successful are not supported. A white neighbor, but the colored brother would prefer to carry his trade to him. Even the colored man is opposite business, who caters to colored trade or the trade of his own people, looks at his successful colored brother with suspicion. Now, there is Dr. W. L. Broad. Dr. Will May Harris, Dr. J W Moss, Dr. Napper, Dr. Gray and Gray, and Dr Plummer. These firms are conducted in a manner that is hingly commendable. And yet they could do more business if they were patronized as liberally as the colored patronized as liberally as the whites. --- While The Bee is against and has opposed segregation in this city, it has certainly forced the colored brother and sister to come together more. A certain daily paper published in its paper a few years ago that it didn't cater to the colored people and yet more colored people read this paper than they do their own. The more you abuse some colored people the more they seem to appreciate it. In a recent campaign a speaker declared that certain negroes had a duty to vote and those same negroes voted for the election of this candidate for honors. These are only a few reasons why the colored man in business fails. They lack race pride. EDITOR TROTTER ILL. (From the Boston Guardian.) It is only a matter of justice to say both Editor Otter and wife wife it was the health week and it was only the help of several friends headed by the editor's sister that got the paper out. The Bee regrets that its good friend, Editor Mm. Monroe Trotter, has broken in health, and in an editorial in the issue of his paper, the Guardian, last week, which the Bee reproduces, the editor tells the world that it was on account of his illness that almost prevented him from issuing his paper last week. Editor Trotter has made a fight for his people, how many will send him'a contribution? The colored man will applaud you when you are succeeding. It is an aphorism too true, "when you laugh, the world will laugh, with you; when you weep, you weep alone." Have we a sufficient number of Colored Americans in this country who can appreciate what Editor Trotter has done in their defense? Must the Guardian die? Let the patriotic Colored American answer the question. The editor of The Bee is never disturbed by defeat and seldom rejoices in a victory. He takes the world as he finds it. It is so strange that some people are compelled to leave their own homes to obtain recognition. The people at their own homes know them while they are not known elsewhere. The editor of The Bee congratulates the staunch friends who fought so nobly for a cause. The colored office hunters will be numerous should the republicans win next fall. The colored people in this country have a high regard for speaker Champ Clark and Senator Chilton. There are as many mean white republicans as there are white democrats. Every white democrat is not intimidated to the colored American. The Bee extends thanks and gratitude to Commissioner Brownlow and Major Pullman for their interest in The Washington Bee Floral Parade. Blue blood is bound to exert itself in a good cause. brother, Rev. Charles Cushenberry, the assistant pastor, as he felt: 'that the years of service and the time was approaching, and he was not able to render the active necessary service to the members as the duty of pastor required, and then finally, after this was adjusted, with the co-operation and approval of the members of the church, he called his friends, and among them those whom he wanted to entrust with his worldly affairs, brother Walker J. Robinson, brother James G. Matthews, brother George Duff, and brother Perril W. Frisby, and confided to them the inner secrets of his worldly affairs, and requested that the church should be held together, and that the priest should look out for the interest of the remaining family, especially Clara, Ella, and the grandson, Lorenzo, and the 'beneficiaries mentioned in his will, and to exercise a Christian and moral influence for the good of all the church membership, and above all maintain peace and harmony with the interest of all, and ill will to none, with this assurance he surrendered to them, after their promises, his faith doubly in their christian integrity.

The Rising Young Musician Has Closing Exercises—Presented With a Handsome Loving The closig exercises and reception of Prof. Wellington A Adams Music School which, beginning in the Fall shall be known as the "Columbia Academy of Music, Art and Language," with a competent faculty teaching plano, voice, violin, guitar, mandolin, harmony, composition, history of music, theory, cornet, trombone, and public school music course; elocation, dramatic art, oratory and expression; sculpture, artistic drawing and painting; Spanish and English; were held last Monday evening, May 29th. in True Reformers' Hall to a capacity audience with standing room only, despite the inclement weather. They manifested it in every movement in these closing class exercises: Everything was done in first-class style and the decorations and flowers were fitting to the occasion. Prof. Adams rightly should feel proud of his large and enthusiastic class which is growing larger and larger each year, and with it prestige as well. In the interest of his future in this city we ```markdown ``` PROF. W. A. ADAMS.

His musical compositions have received the favorable comment of five of the leading white music critics in the East and claim he has marked talent; and his poetry has been favorably endorsed by one of the leading white dailies in the country. He has written a firm of Brentano's agreed to handle his book on the basis of merit. His musical composition entitled "In the City of Jasper Walls" (sacred), has had a phenominal run throughout the country, as well as his latest memorial hymn-song dedicated to the memory of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, entitled "When All Is Done," Paul Lawrence Dunbar's poem set to music, which is being used at Tuskegee Institute through the good offices of Hon. Emmett Scott, the secretary; also in a number of other colored institutions elsewhere. He also is the proprietor of the only colored music store in this immediate section of the country, sending order as far West as the state of Washington, and South as far North Carolina; and right here we should add that Washington ought to support this store. The following pupils appeared on the program last Monday envening: piano. Misses Rosena Payne, Verdie Hawkins, Annie Pagans, Mary Jackson, Lena Taylor, Ayrie Jackson, Lila Brady, Emma Barnes, Annie Spencer, Nellie Norwood, Messrs. Wilbur Dockett, Robert Porter; violin, Little Maria Martin, Master William Hanson, Misses Bertha Randall, Gertrude Glover, Messrs. Henry Scott, Diggs; mandolin, Misses Almedia Harris and Russell H. Woods; recital'by Miss Rhodia Ball. A special number was rendered by Madam Anna Lee Shade, the noted elocutionist, in a pathetic dearing which was heartily received; and Prof. Adams performed gracefully in piano and violin selections, closing with a vocal number of Tostt's entitled "Goodbye," Miss Hattie Williams, organist of First Baptist Church, accompanying with skill. The audience paid rapt attention to the program and applauded the young performers graciously, as all played generally well and pleasingly. Too much praise cannot be given the committees in their splendid arrangements for the comfort and entertainment of their relatives and friends as the affair was not strictly a public function, being limited generally to the circles of pupils. It was however strictly speaking, a demonstrative program and reception and not a class recital; but for all that it was of a high order and attended by an intelligent and progressive class of citizens, the ladies gave elegantly, with beautiful adorning their booms and after the program tipped the light fantastic toe in gorgeous fashion with young men of galant bearing and style. Such splendid type of young ladies as these held the comfort of patrons in their hands as follows: Mrs. Lillian M.

Nothing can excuse or extunate the killing of man, they argued, and to uphold the law Strickland should be compelled to pay the atmost penalty despite his wife's story. To these the majority made answer: "Of what use can it be to kill this man? In the heat of passion he killed another, it is true. But would it not be far better to say to him, 'Go and aim no more,' restore him to his dearly beloved wife and child and let him take up his new life in Cleveland as carefully planned? It is certain that Robert Strickland will commit no more murder." The matter of the missing money held the attention of but few. The great majority of the city's residents were sure that Robert Strickland was no thief. But it was just that very point that kept the jury out. The decision was very long in coming. The jury had been out for hours. In their room the jurymen discussed every phase of the noted case; but, as they told afterward, from the very beginning there was' unanimous agreement THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN, N.Y., WAS IN A CONFERENCE WITH THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN, N.Y., AND THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN, N.Y., TO DISCUSS THE IMPACT OF THE NEW YORK CITY BROOKLYN MAYORAL CAMPAIGN. "It's all been cleared up," said another juror, rising. that here if ever was a case in which the "unwritten law" had jurisdiction. Not a voice was raised in doubt of May Strickland's story. Her manner had convinced the minds of the jurors that she had told the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The natural abhorrence of all right thinking men for the deliberate home breaker spoke in the voices of the jurymen when they mentioned the name of Gerald Trask. And the mention of the name of Robert Strickland brought forth generally only sympathy. That is, so far as May Strickland and his little daughter were concerned. But there were other matters to be considered. Eleven times were the names of jurors called, and each time the name was followed by a different voice, saying: "Not guilty!" The eleventh man had hesitated before pronouncing the words, and his vote was acclaimed by cries of "Good!" "That's the stuff!" But one juror said: "Walt a moment. Mr. Trumbull hasn't voted. How do you vote, Trumbull?" Trumbull, foreman of the jury, replied to the question indirectly: "Gentlemen, we stand eleven for acquittal and one for conviction!" quittal and one for conviction!" His decision against Strickland evoked exclamations of dissent and indignation. He was besought to change his vote, to restore Strickland to his wife and child. The jurors thronged about their recalcitrant foreman excitedly, demanding to know why he wanted to send Strickland to the chair. They asked him to put himself in Strickland's place. Would he or would he not defend his home in like case? The argument was heated. "Listen to reason. Trumbull!" one juror exclaimed. The foreman replied: "What's the good of sending Strickland to the chair? You don't bring Trask back to life, do you? All you do is kill off a good, clean, straightforward chap who's a valuable asset to the community. And who suffers most? Strickland? Not he. His wife and his little girl—they're the sufferers. You throw a sensitive woman out on the world and give a little baby a blot upon her name that she'll never be able to wipe out. What's your idea? Why do you want to convict him?" "I don't want to convict him. I don't want to be instrumental in sending any man to his death. I agree with you all that Strickland had cause for killing Trask." "But still you vote for conviction." "Yes," replied Trumblah. "Because I'm not sure that Strickland want to Trask's house because of his wife. I'm inclined to think he went there, rob the safe." There was immediate dissonance most if not quite unanimous. "Sir, and'ds no burglar," said one man, her declared, "One look at Strickland to convince you that he is a cracker." "I grant you all that said the force, an," but the facts, in a rumor of circumstances woven around Strickland that, to my mind, would damn the Angel Gabriel. Just consider the facts. Strickland was hard pressed. He paid Trask the $10,000 in cash. Why did he pay it in cash? He was the only one besides Trask who knew the combination of the safe. And he was on the spot when the safe was opened. Looks pretty bad, don't you think?" rising. "We know why Strickland went there." "There are two things I'd like you to explain to me," said Trumbull. "Firstly, how did the burglar open the safe? The police officer testified that the tumblers were in perfect order. Gentlemen, he opened the safe with the combination. And the only source from which he could learn the combination was Strickland. That's not all, gentlemen. There's something else you'll have to explain to my satisfaction before I vote for acquittal." "What's that?" one of Strickland's defenders asked. "Strickland had that combination on a card. The card was the only really incriminating evidence against him. If he's innocent of the burglary, as you say he is, why did he attempt to destroy the card?" "How do you know he did?" "Why," said Trumbull, "here's the card. Don't you see that it's torn almost in two? And didn't Glover testify that it was Strickland who tore it?" The jurors looked at the card, and there ensued a heated argument, some contending, others denying, that Stanley Glover, secretary to Gerald Trask, had testified to Strickland's trying to destroy the card. Trumbull asserted that Strickland attempted to destroy the card in order to wipe out the evidence that would be bound to convict him. "I don't think he did attempt to destroy the card," said one juror. "Yes, he did!" contended another juryman. "No!" "Glover said so." "I seem to remember Glover saying so." "He didn't." "I don't know if he did or not." The foreman checked the argument by saying: "We don't seem to agree about it. We ought to find out, I think." "Let's send for Glover and ask him," suggested a juror. "We can't do that. We'll have to get permission to have his testimony read to us," said another. "All right; I'll send a note to the judge," was Trumbull's final remark to his colleagues. And the result of the argument was the decision to send to Judge Dinsmore a request to have Glover's testimony read to the jury if such action was permitted by the law. In the courtroom the counsel for both sides, the clerk, the stenographer, the attendants and others were waiting impatiently for the verdict when an officer heard the buzzer calling for him. He hurried to, the jury room and re-entered the courtroom a moment later with a note, which he carried to the private room of the waiting Judge Dinsmore. Consplenuous in the courtroom were District Attorney Gray and Dr. Morgan, the physician who had been summoned to the Trask home after the shooting. Morgan and Gray discussed the case in a low voice, their conversation ceasing when the judge entered the courtroom and took his place on the bench. Then the jury entered and "took their places and the prisoner was brought in and took his seat. A few seconds later Mrs. Strickland and Doris entered the room and seated themselves beside him. Judge Dinsmore addressed Arbuckle and Gray. "Gentlemen, I have received a note from the jury, in which they request that a portion of Glover's testimony be read to them." And to the stenographer he said: "Turn to Glover's testimony, please. Now read that portion THE SENATE The Prisoner Was Brought In and Took His Seat. which pertains to the tearing of the card, people's Exhibit A." dall. Before the last torn. It all the way I managed to get hold of it again.' Question— "That's enough," said the foreman of the jury, and an animated discussion began in the jury box. While the jurors discussed the case Dr. Morgan whispered in an animated manner to Gray and Arbuckle. "Is that all, gentlemen?" asked Judge Dinsmore. "One moment, if your honor pleases," said Trumbull, and the discussion was resumed. CHAPTER XVII. The Finger of Suspicion. HE foreman of the jury rose. "Your honor," said he, "the jury, would like to ask Mr. Strickland a few questions." Dinsmore turned again to the lawyers. "Do you consent to the case being reopened, gentlemen?" Gray and Arbuckle both signified their assent, and the judge called: "Mr. Strickland!" The defendant rose. "Are you willing to take the stand?" "Yes, your honor," said Strickland, and he was sworn. Then Foreman Trumbull asked: "Mr. Strickland, several members of the jury have requested me to ask you why you attempted to destroy the card with the combination to the safe on it?" "You need not answer that question unless you want to." said Judge Dins- A Some of the Jurors Craned. Their Necks to Stare at the Defendant. more. The defendant turned to the jury and said: "I didn't attempt to destroy it." In the jury box there was, a tremendous sensation, some of the members of the jury rising and craning their necks in order to stare at the defendant. "You mean that you didn't tear the card?" "I did not." "Do you know who did?" "No, sir." "Did you know the card contained the combination to the safe?" "Not until I heard it in court. I saw some figures on the card, but they had no significance to me. I never thought of the card from the time I looked at the address on it until I saw it here in court." The foreman asked: "Do you mean that you didn't see or feel Mr. Glover take it from your pocket?" "No, sir. I did not," answered Strickland. "I was almost blind with pain at that time." "That's all." Strickland stepped down and resumed his sigh, while the jurors whispered excitedly to one another. David Arbuckle then arose to address the court. "With your honor's permission," said he, "I will recall Dr. Morgan." Gray not objecting; Dr. Morgan took the stand. He told of being called to the Trask home after the shooting, of finding Trask beyond aid and of attending to Strickland, who was lying on his back on the floor in a semiconscious state, moaning with pain. "Did you examine his arm?" asked Arbuckle. "Yes, sir; I examined it very carefully while Mr. Glover and the police officers were testing the safe. The arm had been struck a terrific blow with a heavy cane. The blow fell squarely on the wrist, dislocating the wrist joint. Both bones of the forearm, the radius and the ulna, were badly fractured. It was the worst fracture I have ever seen." Arbuckle continued: (To be continued, next week). TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE'S NEW PRINCIPAL IS INSTALLED AT IMPRESSIVE EXERCISES.

Unlike the "favorite sons," they do not for a moment look upon the colonel as down and out. They know that at least one-third of the delegates will cast their ballot for the former President if the opportunity arises, and it is possible that a couple of hundred of others would follow their example, and thus Roosevelt would be nominated. Mr. Roosevelt continues to be in the lead as a result of the primary elections and conventions held during the week. The associate justice preserves his sphinxlike silence and those close to him declare he will make no statement as to his intentions except in the case that the nomination should be tendered to him. The delegates from the. South are not looking with any degree of favor upon the nomination of Mr. Hughes. Mercenary as they are, they are anxious that a man shall be nominated and elected President who will consider their claims in the matter of patronage. Favorite Sons' Claims.

C., one of the leading and influential teachers of Prince George's county, spent the afternoon of May 27 with her friends here. She had a very pleasant conference with the supervisor. The future development of the schools was the topic discussed. Mrs. Henry has been asked to take charge of the school at Laurel, Md. The new pastor of the M. E. Church, Rev. J. C. Johnson, is making a nice headway and he is greatly thought of by the officers, members and friends of the church. He preaches a splendid sermon. He has already launched a rally which will prove a great success; judging from present indications. Rev. O. Garfield Hunter is progressing nicely with his work at the First Baptist Church. He holds early Sunday morning prayer and praise services which are doing great good in the community. His communion services were held Sunday, May 28, in the afternoon. The Knights of Pythias Lodge which meets in the public hall has decided to give a picnic on the lawn of the Fairmount Heights. An invitation has been extended to all the Sister Lodges of Washington to spend an evening of pleasure here with their many friends. The following are the officers of the K. of P.

Bishop L. J. Coppin was changed from the second to the fourth district. LAKELAND, MD. Prof. Geo. G. Waters, the principal of the Lakeland colored school, is doing a commendable work. He is ably assisted by Miss. Marie Plummer. They live in Hyattsville. Prof. Waters held the grand exhi- bition and closing exercises of his school Thursday, May 25, 1916, at 8 o'clock p. m., at the Embry A. M. E. Church, Lakeland, Md. The church was crowded to the door. As a special attraction the pupils sewing and other industrial work was on exhibition. There were demonstrations of school work, oral and written. The work and exercises were very commendable. Prof. Waters and Miss Plummer, both faithful and loyal teachers, deserve great credit. Prof. James F. Armstrong addressed the meeting; also Rev.

Basis of Man's Discontent—Text Points the Way to Lost Treasure—True Riches Found Only in God—Source of True Contentment—Man's Vital Need of Fellowship With His Creator, Church of Christ Finds True Wealth Now—Mankind Will Find It Later. Chicago, May 28. —Pastor Russell preached a very practical sermon here today from the text, "Godliness with content- ment is great gain." (1 Timothy 6: 6.) We give a synopsis: PASTOR RUSSELL Six thousand years ago, in Eden, man met with an irretrievable loss. He lost fellowship with God. He lost his right to life, and came under the penalty of death, because of disobedience to his Creator. Since then, man has searched unceasingly for his lost treasure, has sought in vain for happiness, rest of mind and body. Few have known the truth concerning man's lost estate, and few have found their way back to God. Four thousand years after man's fall, our Lord Jesus came to earth to lay down the price for man's release from the death penalty. He opened the way whereby Adam and all his posterity might regain that which was lost. Today's text draws to our attention the only true gain. The Apostle is addressing the saints of God, those who have learned of God, and who are seeking to meet the conditions for gaining the true and lasting wealth. Only this class have true contentment. There is a sort of contentment which even the worldly may possess—an apathy of the brain, a carelessness or indolence; but this is not real contentment and brings no gain; for as surely as God has given us brains, just so surely does He expect us to use them. The contentment of our text is born of faith in God, of acceptance of His terms of salvation, of the study of His Word. Those who have learned to know Him rejoice to have found the true wisdom. (James 3:17). They have found that the godliness and contentment which bring great gain come only from a knowledge of God and of His Word. When they learned this secret of true prosperity, they became content under all conditions. They had discovered the source of life and happiness. This does not mean that they became heedless of the needs, of the future, but that they no longer took anxious thought for the morrow. Present Conditions Prove Need of God. When Adam was created, he was satisfactory to God and to himself. But when sin entered, it disturbed the relationship between God and man; and since that time God has cast mankind off from all favor. Thenceforth the race was permitted to take its own course. After six thousand years we see the results. "We see the world in a very deplorable condition. Over in Europe the nations that are supposed to lead the world in civilization and intelligence are fighting one another like demons. What an illustration present conditions furnish of what man will come to when God leaves him to his own devices! This is the very lesson which God purposes that man shall learn! We must keep ourselves in the love of God—in the condition where we shall love God, and God will love us. It is because our race has failed to do this that mankind are in their present decorable state. Surely every heart that realizes the True cause of the sorrow, sickness, crime, misery, degradation and death on all sides could not but say, "Oh that we were restored to the image of God, where we could be God-like, where love would dominate instead of hatred, where life and peace would prevail instead of turmoil, strife and death." Here the Bible comforts us with the assurance that God has a wonderful arrangement for the recovery of mankind—Restitution. (Acts 3:19-23). The image of God, lost by the first Adam, is to be restored by the second Adam—the Lord Jesus Christ, as the King of earth, and the new Father of mankind. And since Mother Eve shared in the sin which brought death, so the second Eve, the Church, will share in the regeneration which will restore man's lost estate. Knowing these things, the people of God are contented to wait for the outworking of His great Plan for human salvation. Meantime, through the imputation of Christ's merit, the Church class are reckoned as perfect—justified through the blood of the Redeemer. Daily the Father tests them to demonstrate the depth of their loyalty to Himself and to the principles of righteousness. Daily they are growing in characterlikeness to Christ, growing in godliness. Thus they have great gain; for he who is godly in character, and whose heart is contentedly resting in God's promises; is truly rich. Theirs is the godliness with contentment which is pleasing in the Lord's sight, and which brings the only true gain. St. Paul's Second Missionary Tour. Marked Evidence of Divine Super- vision of All the Interests of God's Church—The Gospel Sent to Europe. "Come over into Judaism and help us" "Verse 9." OR some time after the confor- ence at Jerusalem St. Paul and Barnabas remained at Antioch. But seeing that there were many laborers there, and that a larger field was little worked, they planned a second missionary tour. Barnabas and his nephew John Mark went in one direction; while St. Paul went in another with Silas, with whom he had become acquainted at the Jerusalem conference, and who is reported to have been a Roman citizen, as was St. Paul. Their course lay through Syria and Cilicia to the cities of Derbe and Lystra. As they journeyed, they confirmed the faith of such as had been accepted of the Lord during the Apostle's first missionary tour. At Lystra they found Timothy, a young man well trained in the Scriptures by his Jewish mother and grandmother—his father being a Greek. Although devoutly reared, Timothy had never been circumcised. Therefore when it was determined that he should accompany St. Paul in his missionary tour, the Apostle caused him to be circumcised, lest otherwise it should become known to Jews in general with whom they should come into contact and should militate against Timothy. A We note that amongst the things presented to the Churches was the decision of the Council at Jerusalem that the Jew. lem that the Jew. "Come and Help Us." Ish Law should not be considered binding to the Gentiles, except in certain features noted in our last Study. After good success in the mission up to the point where our lesson begins, the Apostle had in mind a journey throughout Asla Minor. But apparently matters went unfavorably until he concluded that the Lord was hindering their efforts. Then in perplexity he began to think of other fields of labor. St. Paul's moment of uncertainty was the Lord's opportunity for directing him. He dreamed that he saw a Macedonian beckoning to him and saying, "Come over and help us." The Apostle accepted this as of Divine leading, and promptly began the journey which took him into Europe. We have here an evidence of God's supervision of all the interests of His Church. He was not averse to permitting the Message to go into Asia Minor; for later it went there, possibly at a more opportune time. But this was the time, to send it to Europe. It is supposed that about now Luke the physician became attached to St. Paul's company. A man of education, a scribe as well, as a physician, the Lord evidently provided him to be St. Paul's amanuensis, that thereby the Apostle's letters should reach many of God's people. Thus it was that he wrote not only a version of the Gospel, but also the Book of Acts and nearly all of St. Paul's Epistles. Philippi Honored With the Gospel. Philippi, one of the chief cities of Macedonia, appears to have been the first place for the preaching of the Good Tidings in Europe. As usual, on the Sabbath day the Apostle and his companions sought for some who, worshiped God. Apparently there was no synagogue in Philippi. However, they heard, of a little religious meeting held every Sabbath by the river, outside the city gate. Not having the facilities of a synagogue, the worshippers probably had no Scripture parchments, and hence no reading of the Law, but merely prayer and worship. All this was favorable to the Gospel Message which the Apostle had to present. He spoke to those who resorted thither, commending the importance of praise to God. Then he proceeded to declare the Good Tidings of the sacrifice of Jesus, His death, His resurrection, and His Second Coming in power and great glory. Then he explained that the invitation was now being giv- en for joint-sacrificers with Jesus, whose reward would be joint-heirship with Him in the Millennial Kingdom; as members of His Body, the Church. A However few or many were at the meeting, there was one present whose heart was in the right condition to Lyla's Household, heart was in the right condition to receive the Message—a woman named Lydia, from Thyatiria, in Asla Minor, a dealer in purple. Eyes were much more expensive then than now, and the secret knowledge of how to make them was turned to financial profit. Thus it is supposed that Lyda was in quite comfortable circumstances financially. Not only did the Truth open her heart, but she was prompt to obey it in full consecration, and prompt to symbolize that consecration in water baptism—"she and her household." The face that her household beloved implies that Lyda had adult children. We may infer that she was a widow, since her husband is not mentioned. Hence it was her right, without conference with anybody, to invite the Apostle and his companions to share the hospitality of her home.
