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. 12 WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY AUGUST 19, 1916 NEGROES GOING NORTH The Advice of the Editor of The Bee Asked by a Baptist Minister of Florida. Donidence in the Editor THE BEST THING TO DO. The North is the Best Place For Them. 437 East, Union Street, Jacksonville, Fla., August 10, 1916 The Editor of The Washington Bee, Washington, D..C. Dear Sir: To be Minister's, I beg to state that the Baptist Ministers' Union of this city voted last Monday, in a regular meeting, that I write you and ask advise on the subject of migration which is large and really alarming to the people of this State, for thousands of colored people are leaving this State going to Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York and New Jersey, where it is stated they are wanted as laborers in the business pursuits. various pursuits. In your mind and to your knowledge, do you think it the best thing for them to do, and are they bettering their conditions financially, morally, and religiously; even in manhood, citizenship and otherwise. Our Union has been asked to speak in an advisory way, but we have decided to remain silent until we can hear from reliable sources, and your paper is considered among the best. So to speak, our City is in a turmoil, in suspense. pense. You have doubtless heard of the great exodus of Negroes to the North, and we presume you have given it some thought, and even investigated it. Please give us the benefit of your findings, and reasons for your conclusion. Thanking you in advance for a prompt and fully reply to the Corresponding Secretary. Yours truly, Rev. JOHN E. FORD, DD., Pres. Rev. J. S. HOPKINS, Sec. Rev. A. C. PORTER. Corresponding Secretary 437 East Union street Jacksonville, Fla. Washington, D. C. August 14, 1916. Rev. John E. Ford, D. D., President; Rev. J. S. Hopkins, secretary; Rev. A. C. Porter, Corresponding secretary, 437 East Union Street Jacksonville, Fla. Dear Sirs: I am in receipt of a communication from you, representing as you say the Baptist Ministers' Union of Jacksonville, Florida, requesting my advice and certain information relative to the propriety of Colored Americans migrating from your State to the North and whether their condition would be better financially, morally and otherwise. The atmosphere of the North is more healthy for colored Americans politically than the atmosphere in the South. As laborers the colored man in the North would fare a great deal better than in the South. As mechanics conditions are against them and professionally they are on a par with the white man. At this time there are quite a number of strikers in the vicinity of Pennsylvania in which the colored American is not a participant. Foreigners are in control in almost every Northern and Eastern state, who are as inimical to the colored American as some southern white people. Segregation in the North is becoming 'prevalent', but in such States as Pennsylvania, New York and Illinois, this diabolical act which many of our government departments have inaugurated is to humiliate the colored Americans. You will find in states in which republicans control greater protection to the colored man than in those states that are controlled by the democratic party. The North will protect your property-rights, but the South as you know, or some parts of it, is against the colored man accumulating property. Why would your committee advise your people to remain in a section of the Country, where life, liberty and property are regarded below par, so far as Colored Americans are concerned. Innocent men, women, and children are burned at the stake without provocation and in violation of the laws of God and land. In the North you are permitted to breathe this pure air of freedom, although southern migration of white has permeated the air with prejudice and discrimination; but Justice continues to reign, the right to teach your children without molestation and under the protection of the government exists in the north. You have been faithful laborers at the south, loyal to your masters, have protected their homes, their wives, their children and their property. But, what has been the result? History always exists and past brutalities against a loyal race of people and faithful allies of a government which fails to protect them. Ad advise your people to go north where the sun shines and freedom reigns, where liberty is the religion of the faithful, where the vote of the black man is his diadem and where he has been rocked in the cradle of freedom from time immemorial. You ask me, also whether the colored man would better himself religiously. In this connection I would say, relative to the religious teachings that the colored people would receive, the northern atmosphere would inoxicate, not only his brain but his heart. The North believes in good morals and religion. Advise your people to go to the North and start at once. With assurance of my sincere regards and this hope that the sentiment here expressed will be considered in the same spirit in which it is given, believe me to be. HOTEL DALE.

Watson, one of the best known and oldest inhabitants, died suddenly at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, where he has been employed for a number of years. Mr. Watson had just finished lifting a large package of money, which affected his heart. He returned to the dressing room, where he was seated, and suddenly he gave one groan and passed to the way beyond. One of the bystanders rushed to him and before medical aid could be rendered he died. Mr. Watson has been a resident of this city all his life. His father was one of the oldest inhabitants. He is the brother of Samuel and Bryan Watson and father of Mr. Louis Cardozo, Eva A. Barnett and husband of Sarah Watson. He was buried from his residence, 338 Tea street northwest Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock p. m. Distinguished Women Here Distinguished Women Here. A host of distinguished women came over from the Baltimore Convention to see the great work that is being done at the National Training School for Women and Girls. Miss Burroughs has entertained them in the style characteristic of the institution. They have been shown the sights of Washington and are having a royal time. Mrs. Mary Talbert who came into office as a result of Miss Burroughs' vote getting, delegation splitting, nominating speech, was among the happy guests at the School this week. Mrs. Georgia Nugent, the efficient corresponding secretary, is in the party. Mrs. Frances R. Keyser, of Florida, an educator of note, is on the Hill, and Mrs. Marie Kenney, preceptress of Roger Williams University, is among the many celebrities. The National Training School is certainly the mecca for visitors to Washington. There is a constant stream of people from all parts of the country. They are going to see the wonderful transformation that has taken place in six years. And there is something real to see. HIGH CLASS MELODRAMA PROMISED PATRONS OF THE HOWARD NEXT WEEK. Owen Davie' Great play in Four Acts Is Full to Thrills and Tense Scenes That Is Bound to Appeal to the Most Exacting. The people who are nightly ap plaining the sterling offering at the Howard Theatre this week will learn with pleasureable anticipation that the Quality Amusement Corporation has secured one of the best high class melodramas for next week' attraction at our popular Washington playhouse that is presided over by Mr. Andrew Thomas. "Big Jim Garrity" is the name of the play that' is at the present moment drawing fine houses in New York City and from advance information sent in by the Bee's special New York correspondent. it is safe to say that an unusually large audience will be on hand to greet this Broadway success on next Monday night. Of "Big Jim Garrity" it can be said that Owen Davis gives to the public a story that is well told in four acts, and the people selected to appear in the cast have established a reputation here for the close attention to details, making the presentation no different than when it appeared in New York. From the rise of the curtain on the first act it arrests the attention of the audience, and when the curtain falls upon the last scene in the last act the people seem loath to tear themselves away. "Big Jim Garrity" will be especially appealing' to Washington audiences, for it tells a story of every day life in no uncertain terms and the principal character will find much sympathy by the way the story unfolds itself and discloses the terrible machinations of the law with the innocent, who through stress of circumstantial evidence is forced to become a fugitive from justice. Among the performers appearing in the cast are Sidney Kirkpatrick, Arthur Ray, Clarence Muse, Albert Knorl, Charles Moore A. B. DeComathereil, Mattle Wilkes Anita Bush and Orina Crosby Bouquet HALL HILL, VA. The beautiful downpour of rain on Sunday morning made the hearts of the farmers and truckers glad yet, the officials and children of the Mt. Salvation. Baptist Sunday school was sad for at this hour to begin their the rain was falling its fastest thus the school hour past but stopped in time to hear the morning sermon by our worthy devine Rev. J. D. Fortune after which the day was quiet until the hour for Christian Endeavor. The president Mr. Nathaniel Jones with that same straight forward earnest manner and practical discourse bade all welcome to take part in our Endeavor and discuss as they saw fit the subject of beauty Nellie Ferguson of the Galloway M. E. Church and Mrs. Carver founder of the Carver School of Industry at Falls Church, Va., for homeless or parentless children were visitors of whom we were glad to welcome they spoke beatingly on how to be beautiful in a sacrificing manner in our homes, churches and communities. Practical talks on how God would have us work and live true beautiful lives, such lives, that shall be the light of men. Thus closed a beautiful Christian Endeavor. At 8:30 P. M., Rev. J. D. Fortune with that same smile and splendid manner announced from the book of Ester his subject Vengence and Hamon. He at once took a heavenly flight and dwelt far above in figures, spiritual and scriptorial. The entire place seemed to have been enlivened by his discourse and the manner in which it was handled. Rev. Thomas prayed one of his freest prayers, the choir seemed to sing its best the entire congregation seemed to say it is good to be here Miss Sadie Cullen of Washington, D. C., was all day visitor who came in interest of the drama to be had in the fall. On Friday night there was a fine reception at Galloway M. E. Church. Rev. Austin pastor. There were solos recitations and a paper but the crowning feature was a mock marriage such a beautiful and splendid occasion too bad it was not true. The two little flower girls, four maids, four ushers and bride, and groom was ushered in by the wedding march play by Mrs. Austin the pastor wife. The minister for the occasion, Mr. Charles Chin made the grooms part of the marriage contract very easy, but for the bride a very few wives will comply with it. After the exercises were ended all invited to the parsonage where a plenty of refreshments were served from there the entire bridal party was invited to a private dance at the Alkaney Park. There is an epidemic of measles and whooping cough sweeping the community, but under the medical assistance rendered by our resident physician, Dr. E. Moten, there has been but two deaths. Mrs. Moten's baby, Martha, died on Saturday. Mrs. Marion Mooney had a guest for Sunday, Mr. Washington Page of Wash. D. C. Mrs. Alma Doy say entertained her sister, Miss Rub Carter, of New York City, on Sunday. The discontinuing of the transfers of the Old Dominion Line has made a harder for the working men who have to go to town daily, but we hope man will do as Mr. Scott, the manager of the Country Club, has done purchased a $900 machine, and M. Asa Robinson uses a motorcycle. JWY CITY D. C. BEAMS: IVY CITY, D.C., BEAMS. Rev. E. T. Lewis pastor of Trinity Baptist church and family left for their vacation in Culpeper County, Va., on Tuesday, 15th inst. They will attend the Association meeting at Williamsburg, Va. this coming Sunday, and from there will go to attend the Northern Virginia Baptist Association of Luray, Va. the following week. They will be gone three weeks. On Friday 18th inst. in connection with the Tag Day movement all entertainments at Alerandria Crummell school in the evening was had to which all who purchased tags were admitted. Although this is a period of vacation things are kept very lively in this vicinity. The entertainment at Mt. Vernon was a well arranged and great affair, and Dr. Withrow has a great worker in Miss Kelly for his young people. BROOKS.

J. T. CLARK, D.D. PH. D. Rev. J. T. Clark, D. D., Ph. D., late pastor of Mt. Horeb Baptist Church, northeast, Washington, D. C., died at his home in Scotland Neck, N. Carolina, on Wednesday, Aug. 9, and his funeral took place there on Thursday August-10, 1916. Although Dr. Clark had been a sufferer for a long time, having gone to his home in the South a short time ago in search of recovery, his death came as a shock to his Church and Ministerial Brethern as well as to his many friends through out the city'here. Dr. Clark was born in North Carolina some fifty old years ago. He had preaching the Gospel of Christ thirty years and more. He has pastored the Mt. Horeb Baptist Church of this city ten years. He was officially connected with the Bapt. City Ministers Conference of Wash., D. C., holding the office of Historian of the Conference, being re-elected with honor to same position by the bretheron on Monday, August 7, just three days prior to his death at the closing session of the Conference with the Mt. Olive Baptist Church at Arlington, Va. for the summer vacation. At the time of his death he was president of a school for the higher education of colored youths in North Carolina. In four years after becoming pastor of the Mt. Horeb Baptist Church here paid off the debt of the church amounting to $1,600. The Washington ters Conference the month of City Minis- lourned for the following sent to the The Washing ters Conference the month of night, letter to. home of Dr. Clark at Scotland Neck, N.

The Sayles Undertaking Establishment did the drapery of mourning work in respect to the deceased pastor on Thursday August 10. August Being of National standing also, the death of Dr. Clark brings sadness to the hearts of the great Baptist Brotherhood of this country. Truly it is said: "We shall miss him." REV, J. T. CLARK, D.D. DEANWOOD. The service at the Deanwood M. E. Church, August 6 was very good and well attended. Under the leadership of Rev. W. A. C. Hughes the church seems to have taken on new life. In less than four weeks we have raised $125.87. Peace and harmony seem to prevail and every one is working in unison. At the night service Rev. Carr preached a noble and interesting sermon on the New Birth. Every one seems to be interested in the welfare of the new church. And with the continuation of the spirit that now prevails we expect greater things in the future. Come in and see us. Watch us grow and work for Christ. News Notes Here and There. Mr. Jno. H.

Deacon Langhorn, one of the leading members if not the leading member in this church has a following of over 600 members. The friends of Miss Tolliver, Prof. Harris and others will no doubt unite for the good of the church. If the ouster fight is successful a new pastor will not be called for a year. The opposition is deter, mined. BITTERNESS.

COLORED SCHOOLS PROHIBITION THAT PROHIBITS. Never Will Be a Nation Wide Prohibition. We have always been a strong believer in prohibition which will prohibit the sale of whiskey, beer, and other drinks that have a tendency to destroy the minds of the thinking men and women of this country. But, if "nation wide" prohibition will do no more good in lessening crime among the savages of this country than it done in the states of Georgia, Texas, and other states which have law "crbidding the sale of whiskey, be her intoxicant drinks, th al to the sober minded A citizens to forever here a any suggestions, by any r en and women who advo wide prohibition.

Better to drink key that to drink the blood of is innocent fellow man for the it of it. There will never be a naive wide prohibition even if such an action wins, but there would be a tion wide calamity if such infamous ws be written on the pages of the atute books of this nation. Prohibition, then, in the states where it has alone absolutely no good, should be a lasting guide to those who are advocating nation wide prohibition. Let the drunkard have the drinks and he will be less lawless and controllable in the community in which he lives. A nation wide prohibition administration would but mean a nation wide "rough house" in this want-to-be peaceful country of ours. The greatest ambition of man, since the creation of father Adam, has been to do the very things which he is forbidden to do. Adam was placed in the garden of Eden, and was given free access to everything except a certain tree which was called the "tree of life." Adam was forbidden, or prohibited from interfering with that particular tree, but the very idea of "prohibition" being tried in that garden seems to have been more than father Adam was willing to stand for. So, prohibition, although the punishment for violating that law was death, was first tried in the garden of Eden. It didn't work there, neither will a nation wide prohibition (whose punishment for violation of the law is nothing like death) work here in the United States of America. A change in the government affairs of both state and nation should always be done to better conditions. The advocates of nation wide prohibition no doubt in good; but if they would only to think of the increase of crimes in the fruits of prohibition, will stoppped will see that the remedy for this evil is far worse than the dis- We have always been in-favor exhibition; for the drink habit seen the ruination of thousands a young men of this country sale of whiskey and the desire has caused the abandonment of any precious young women.

She was a most estimable woman and loved by all who knew her. Her motherly disposition won for her a large circle of friends. From out the silence the bell was made. tolled And you loved one. O noble soul, Passed the portals of earthly life To join the hosts in heaven so bright PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) Now, if you think that, Governor Pinchback has lost taste, for the theatre you are mistaken. The grand old man is as vigorous as ever. He has not lost the power of speech and nelther has he lost that old time vigor. Dal Washington is some diplomat. Dal wears a smile that doesn't come off. Now when you go upstairs in Dal's parlors he never fails to give you that service that you pay for. You can always get what you want. I was sitting there last Saturday and saw Tom Jones enter. He was alone. The near statesman failed to put in their appearance. Tom was in his shirt sleeves. Well I am, not certain whether that was an old or new shirt, but from the appearance, it was tailor-made. Just why he was alone. I don't know but he was no doubt ducking some one. He didn't have much to say. Ijis mind was on the coming election and why he hasn't been asked to make a few "Canned" speeches. Tom has them well-founded and he never fails to get them off whenever an opportunity permits... If you want to be entertained by the has-beens of all shades and professions and the downs and outs go to Finley's Rest. Down-and-outs and has-beens are the editors. The has-beens are generally hustling in every conceivable corner looking for the coin. Tom Clark has been lately added to the grinding shop. He discusses the war and when it will end. He knows the greatest generals in the conflict. I will give him credit for his diplomacy in the last campaign. He displayed more sense than the heads of the Moose ticket. His speeches were so cold that they stuck like icicles to a roof of a house. They had as much effect on the voters as a scow has going through the rocks of "Gibraltar." Speaking on Tom Clark, I must confess that he never discusses religion. The last time Tom gave out dope concerning the election when he told the boys to keep their eyes on the machine. He knew something about the machine. Whenever a married man gives a reception there are certain individuals left out. Now when I tell you who those individuals are you will be surprised. The husband never wants a man who is popular with the ladies. Some married men are jealous and always come to the conclusion because they need watching, that all men are alike. All men are not alike. A gentleman will not defame the house of his friend or neighbor. Evil minded men are men who are guilty of crime, themselves generally suspect the other fellow. Females who are not above suspicion will have evil thoughts concerning her neighbor or companions. Take it from the sage, look with suspicion upon the man or woman who talks about her companion or neighbor. There are more shams in what you call society than in the churches. The church shams and social shams make life miserable. There is a great fad among the would-be correspondents, in that they want a badge to permit them to go beyond the fire limits. Of course those would-be journalists are often too fastidious. Don't you know when a man believes that he is a journalist how pompous he gets. The new journalist gives free space. They never know when to stop or where to stop. You have never seen a husband who is too stingy to allow his wife to dress, you? This berg is full of such individuals. They are too old themselves to dress, and too stingy to allow their wives to dress. A colored man's idea of keeping a wife is meager. One dress per year is doing good for some husbands. Some colored individuals haven't the least conception of dress. I love to see a woman looking well. I love to see a husband dress his wife and the other members of his family. A female has taste and she loves for others to admire her taste. Don't be too religious to allow your wife and children to go to theaters and attend dances and be too hypocritical yourself to say the Lord's prayer. You know there are too many false pretenders in the church. The man who imagines that he is regarded by the Christian world that he's Christian and he turns out to be a hypocrite soon meets his Waterloo. The editors of the has-beens are in a struggle. They would keep themselves in the limelight if they could. The has-beens are numerous in this city. RACE CONFERENCE CALLED RACE CONFERENCE CALLED. The signs of the times in church and state demand racial unity upon all questions pertaining to the welfare of the race; hence this call to the leaders of the race in every state of the union in church and state, to every race loving man or woman of the union, this call is extended. And you are hereby urged to attend the race conference to be held in Washington, D.C., Sept. 14th-16th, 1916, at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church 3 and I streets northwest. First session will open at 10 o'clock in the morning. The Baltimore and Washington Ministers Conference in joint session June 26, 1916, endorsed and authorized this call; therefore every ministers conference, every fraternal organization, and all other Negro organizations interested in the uplift of the race are urged and asked to send a representative. Every phase of the Negro Status in this nation will be carefully considered with a view of memoralizing Congress and those authorities to ameliorate the same. Prominent men and women of the race who are interested in the unlift of the race will be present and address the conference. It is fair to state in advance that there are expense incidents to this call and no funds from any source; therefore every member of the race should manifest your interest by sending a donation to the Secretary or Chairman. For further information address W. H. JERNAGIN, Chairman. 430 Q St., N. W., Washington, D. C. or SEAL OF OUR UNION Franklin, Adams and Jefferson Were the Men Appointed by John Hancock to Prepare the Device For the Great Seal of the United States. The founders of our government did nothing without careful deliberation, and we are told that the adoption of a seal for the United States was as carefully considered as the framing of the Declaration of Independence. It was adopted during the period of the Confederacy, several years before the adoption of the constitution, but not till after several years' deliberation. On the 4th of July, 1776, after the Declaration of Independence had been finally acted upon, John Hancock, president of the congress, appointed Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson a committee "to prepare a device for the great seal of the United States of America." A seal was not needed for ornament or show, but to certify the official commissions soon to be issued by the United States. The committee took up the matter at once. Each of the members of the committee had some ideas of his own, and they called in an artist of Philadelphia to help them formulate a design. This artist was Pierre Similtierri, a patriotic Swiss, who was doing some excellent portrait painting in the then capital city of the country. The Swiss drew a design, which was discussed by the committee, after which each member suggested additions or changes, which were incorporated by Jefferson in a report made to congress on Aug. 10, 1776. This report was in heraldic language, describing the shield, crest, dexter, legend, etc. The following is an extract of this report: "The great seal should on one side have the arms of the United States of America, which arms should be as follows: The shield has six quarters—the first an enameled rose, for England; the second a thistle proper, for Scotland; the third a harp, for Ireland; the fourth a fleur-de-lis, for France; the fifth the imperial eagle, for Germany; the sixth the crowned lion, for Holland—pointing out the countries from which the colonies have been peopled." After describing other details, as the Goddess of Liberty, the initial letters of the colonies, etc., the report said, "Crest, the eye of Providence in a radiant triangle, whose glory extends over the shield and beyond the figures; motto, 'E Pluribus Unum.'" For some reason or other congress referred this device back to the committee for further report. Franklin had proposed for a motto "Rebellion to Tyrants Is Obedience to God." Adams proposed Hercules leaning on a club, while all the virtues and nearly all the vices grouped about him in different attitudes. His design would have been a monstrosity and laughstock. Jefferson's composite design simplified matters, and it was he who suggested the motto "E Pluribus Unum." This was in August, 1776. The war soon absorbed the attention and nothing further was done about the seal until March, 1779, when a committee of three was appointed to consider and report on the subject. This committee reported in favor of a shield with thirteen diagonal stripes, alternately red and white, a constellation of thirteen stars, a figure of Liberty and the motto "Bello vel Pace Paratus" ("Ready for war or for peace"). This report also was, recommitted, and it was nearly a year before the matter came up again. Not to follow through repeated discussions and rejections of several designs, the present seal was not adopted till June 20, 1782. It was the work of a young American artist. William Barton by name, who followed in many respects the design submitted by Jefferson six years before, but simplified it. He retained the eagle, a bundle of airwrs in one talon and an olive branch in the other; the helmet with six bars or quarterings, signifying the six nationalities from which the country had been mainly people, and the motto "E Pluribus Unum;" which survived all the discussions. The designer said, "The motto alludes to the Union." He added in his explanation, "The escutcheon is borne on the breast of the American eagle, without any other support, to denote that the United States of America ought to rely on their own virtues." The different executive departments of the government have each their own seal, but every commission signed by the president is stamped with the great seal of the United States, which is kept in the state department.—Washington Post.

Unwelcome by Adams; but the People Made Things. Protect lively It was on Feb. 11, the day the electoral votes were counted, that Jackson arrived in Washington and took up his residence at Gadsby's, an inn famous in stage coaching days. He declined to call upon President Adams, implying that he could not bring himself to touch the hand of a man who had attained office through unworthy means. He bashed himself with the office seekers, who rushed to Washington in incredible numbers, likewise avoiding Adams to flock around the power that was to be. Adams, resembling this breach of etiquette, took no criminal or social notice of his successor and left the city on the 3d of March, neither he nor any member of his cabinet remaining to welcome Jackson to office. On the morning of March those fortunate to secure a commuting position on Capitol hill looked down upon Pennsylvania avenue alive with carts and carriages full of women and children, their male escorts walking beside them. At last a small company of men was seen marching compactly through this crowd up the middle of the avenue, one tall figure holding his hat, while the wind played through his willful gray locks. There was something military in the sight, something most unmilitary in the rabble of people shouting themselves hoarse in acclaim of the spare, erect figure. It was an expression of popular will and popular trust that gripped the heart and sent an ache to the throats even of those who feared the "Tenniessee barbarian" and his host. After taking the oath of office Jackson returned to the White House on horseback, followed indiscriminately by white and black, rich and poor, men, women and children, who swarmed over the lawn and through the rooms of the executive mansion, where no police provision had been made for such an onslaught. The courageous old warrior was forced that day to do what he seldom did. He retreated and sought refuge in his old quarters at Gadsby's. Current rumor had it that a quantity of China and cut glass to the value of several thousand dollars was broken in an attempt to get refreshments to the multitude, and finally great tubs of punch were carried out in front of the house, but that "hogsheads would not have been enough."—Helen Nicolay in Century. BOILING WATER. It Is Not Always Hot and Sometimes May Be Barely Heated. If you scald yourself with the teakettle you are apt to think that boiling water is a pretty hot proposition. But boiling water is not always very hot water, and this is the way it happens. When water boils ordinarily it is because great heat has separated the tiny particles of the water, forcing upward and outward in lively bubbles the air which is contained in them. This is done in splite of the downward pressure of the atmosphere. After the water has become hot enough to boil it can get no hotter, because the air escapes as fast as it is sufficiently heated to do so. There are places on the earth where the pressure of the atmosphere upon the water is so slight that it requires but little heat to push apart the particles and set free the air bubbles which are confined in the water, so it begins to boil before it becomes very hot. It ought hardly to be called cold water, perhaps, but it is certainly far from being as hot as ordinarily boiling water. This state of things is found on all high mountain tops, as the atmosphere grows weaker and its pressure less as one ascends. A man travelling at a great elevation in the Andes mountains put some potatoes in a pot of water over a hot fire. The water began to boll almost immediately, but the potatoes did not cook. All the afternoon and all the night the water bubbled and boiled, but still the potatoes were not cooked. The boiling water was not hot enough. Humbled Arrogance. "That did me more good than anything that has happened in a long time." "What did?"

NOTION PICTURES IN BRAZIL They Have Some Curious Rules in the Theaters That Show Them. South America is fast becoming a paradise for the motion picture theater, but some curious rules prevail. For example, the best motion picture theaters in Rio de Janeiro do not allow patrons to drop in or out at will. A film is advertised to begin at a certain hour of the afternoon or evening. At the appointed time doors are closed, or in most cases a heavy and highly decorated curtain is dropped, and the show in the auditorium begins its functions. A rather novel arrangement, also noted in other Brazilian cities, is the waiting lobby immediately in front of the entrance proper. After purchasing a ticket the patron enters the lobby or corridor, takes a comfortable seat and waits until the termination of the first section of the play, the time of which may be a few minutes or half an hour. White waiting one may listen to the band of music, which may be heard equally well by those within the lobby or in the audience. At times the crowds become congested and all the lobby seats are occupied. In such cases the ticket seller withholds further admissions, and the crowd remains upon the street, but the brilliant electric lights (if night) and the music of the band continue to swell the number of waiting patrons. The night is the most popular hour for the crowds, as at that time the whole family turns out, and every one who can afford, an automobile presses it into service. At one of the best motion pictures in Buenos Aires a writer counted more than 200 machines drawn up in lines awaiting the closing of only an average attraction. The hour was near midnight, and about as much ceremony was observed as if the finest opera company had been the star performers.-Argonaut. A ROMANCE OF BAGDAD. Peculiar Story of Nazim Pasha and ar Armenian Beauty. A remarkable tale of Nazim Pasha, the commander in chief of the Turkish armies against Bulgaria in the Balkan war, is told by Sir William Willecocks. K. C. M. G., in an article in Blackwood's Magazine: "After Nazim Pasha became wall of Bagdad there lived in one of the best houses in the place an Armenian girl of eighteen, who was very pretty, very wealthy and an orphan. All the young Armenians in the Turkish empire were eager sulters for her hand, but she would have none of them. The wall invited her to his palace and told her that in her unprotected condition she might get into trouble, but that if she were to marry a countryman of hers in his household she would have both a sterling husband and his own protection. She accepted, but on reaching her home sent the nazim word that she preferred remaining single. "You shall remain single for life! said the wall, and put a cordon of soldiers round her house, which prevented her from leaving it. "She escaped to the French convent one day, dressed as a French nun, and the cordon of soldiers moved to her new residence. After some delay she escaped as a French monk, took refuge on Lynch's boat and sailed for Basra under the British flag. Boats full of soldiers surrounded the steamer at Basra, but the girl ran across the deck, jumped into the Russian consul's boat and took refuge under the Russian flag. The consul saw her safely on to the British India steamer, and she descended at Bushire, in Persia. "Not many months, afterward Nazim Pasha himself was deposed and ordered to return to Constantinople. He returned there finally and was, as we all know, murdered by the Young Turks." Milo Was a Glutton. Milo, the famous athlete of ancient Greece, born 520 B. C., was victor at both the Olympic and Pythian games for six times in succession. On one occasion he ran four miles with an ox on his shoulder; killed the animal with a blow of his fist and then ate the entire carcass in one day.

In the campaign of 1912 the democratic National. Com- mittee employed certain purchase- able colored men* to change the Colored vote “and turn it to the democratic party.

IT EMBRACED ALL re On a Floating Tempe in, Sumida River __ & Priest of Tokyo, With His Flock, Of fered Prayera For the Soule of Sol. _ diere,Dead Because of Wars. Uausual preparations were made one morning in Shussanjl: or the Golng Out of the Mountain temple, a quaint Iittle place of worship hidden away 4n a labyrinth of crooked streets {n-a poor quarter of Tokyo—preparations for a “eelebration on: the Sumida river to pray for the repose of ‘the souls of all those slain in battle regardless. of na- tonality and to scatter seraps of paper “bearing the {mage of Jizo Sama over the waves, one for each departed spirit. The chief priest, 2n aged man, with bis assistant and.the supporters of the ‘temple, had been busy for days in ad- ‘vance, ind all: was ready. ‘The red’and gold altar of Shussanj! was heaped up ‘with.offerings of rice and frult, and-a “plain wooden tablet had been placed there bearing the words: “To console all those souls who have passed into the beyond because of war." __ The old priest, his bakd head shining, lad tn: his coarse cotton-robe of: gray, officlated before the altar, and when the last prayers were uttered the people formed a ‘procession to the Sumida rir- ‘ef, a short distance away. Near a bridge. an unusual craft was “waiting, a deep cargo junk roofed over with canyas bearing: bold black Bud- hist symbols, and at the bow. fluttered ‘a white cotton banner on which was ‘written in large black characters: °: “A service to console: the spirits of the whole world’s departed ones.” Quickly the parishioners. embarked ‘and squatted down upon. the cushions spread over the bottom of the boat, and the priest, the central figure in the re- Ugtous cetemony,,as gray and faded as the robes he wore, took up his position {n front of the altar. A piece of solled embroidery did duty for an altar cloth, ‘end there was set up a tarnished statue of,Jizo Sama. Just below were three wooden tablets. ‘The central ono read, “Pray for the whole world’s departed ones’ souls.” The others had inscrip- tons asking for'prayers for the Jap- anese army and for prayers for the allies of Japan. . ‘The priest placed some sweet scented ‘squares of incenge upon the coals in a small brass brazier, and as the clouds Tose into the air the boatman with’his Daiboo pote pushed off from the shore and.the holy man’s volce was heard chanting—all the worshipers, old wom- en and young, men and ebiidren, mur- muring In an undertone,.“"Name Amida Butsu!” he Out upon the Sumida river the cere mony of scattering the papers was be- gun.

Trick by Which He Turned the Tables on Sheriff Bill Nye. To nearly every one the name of Bill Nye brings the picture of a genial, fun loving man whose jokes were once famous all over the country, but to those who lived in Wyoming some thirty years ago Sheriff Bill Nye of Laramie county means something else too. Sheriff Nye was absolutely fearless. He was resolute, decisive, quick to act and tireless in pursuing offenders. He failed to get his man on only one occasion, and that failure was due to the tenderness of heart that was always a part of his character. Nye started out once after a typical bad man who had shot or stabbed some one and quickly learned that he had fled to the mountains. Summoning a deputy, the shepherd sprang on his horse, and the two started off. After riding nearly 200 miles into the wilderness they learned that their man was hiding in an abandoned miner's cabin, whither he had brought his young wife. Soon after darkness fell Nye quietly rode up to the cabin and dismintoned before the door. He sent his deputy round to guard the rear of the little shack. Then Nye throw, open the door and dashed inside, with his revolver cocked and ready for instant action. The criminal was asleep on the bed, and his wife, who sat close by, was stroking his forehead. Nye covered them both with his gun and told them to throw up their hands: "I've got you," he said grimly. "Now you get up quietly and come along. The lady can stay here if she chooses." The bad man admitted that the game was up and began to roll his blanket into a bundle. "Never mind that," said Nye. "We've got plenty of blankets in the place you're going to." The desperado then asked if he couldn't say goodbye to his wife. "I reckon it's the last time I'll ever see her," he continued. "You've got the goods on me this time, sheriff, and I reckon I'll swing for it." He appeared so cast down that Nye's warm heart prompted him to grant the request. "All right," he said. "I'll give you two minutes." The criminal rose from the bed. The next instant those tightly rolled kets came whirling through the air and struck Nye in the face so heavily that he reeled back against the wall. Before he could recover his balance and throw off, the blankets the criminal had dashed out of the cabin, leaped on Nye's pony and was galloping down a mountain trail in the darkness. Of course Nye's deputy came rushing round from the rear of the cabin and started in pursuit, but the bad man was never heard from afterward. Youth's Companion. The First Cradle. The earliest mention in literature of cradles is in the Biblical account of Moses' little ark of bulrushes. But there are in the British museum some clay tablets found some years ago on the site of ancient Nineveh which, according to archaeologists, make it quite clear that somewhere about 4,000 years before the Christian era there was another infant hero exposed in a little ark of bulrushes. Thus the cradle that was found by Pharaoh's daugher for 1400 B. C. was comparatively modern. It is certain that cradles were first used as a means of protecting babies from the attacks of wild animals by suspending them from the boughs of trees—London Globe. Ancient War Automobiles Among some interesting documents in the old Toh曼里市, Saaz, on the Eger river, is a picture showing an attack on the fortress Glatz, in Silesia, in which war automobiles were used. The mechanically driven cars were flat vehicles, protected by huge shields in front, in which the soldiers turned large cranks, the rotary motion of which was transferred to cog wheels and to the road wheels. It is estimated that these fifteenth century "chauffeurs" got a speed of four miles an hour out of the armored cars. An Odd Globe. A great globe ornamented with the map of the earth carved in stone decorates the estate of an eccentric English man at Swanage. It stands overlooking the sea and is visible for quite a distance. One may walk about it and study it in detail. The plane surfaces, such as the oceans, lakes and deserts, are decorated with scriptural texts which are supposed to apply especially to the locality they occupy. J. R. De Reef Miller. Washington has at last organized a Colored Walters Union and one that will be a permanent organization affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. It is the purpose of this organization to open its doors to all qualified colored waiters and bartenders in the city, to discuss various topics along their line for the betterment of the service in the city generally. At the meeting last Sunday at The True Reformers Hall the officers of the union asked that the public be thoroughly informed that the colored waiters are not organizing for and radical purposes, such as a strike or boycott, but for the sole purpose of uplifting the profession to a higher standard, along material and economic lines, and to increase salesman slip, and prestage to the profession. A membership of over 75 were enrolled, many of the out of town boys are sending in for blanks. The business of the alliance is up to a high standard and the principal officers are under bond, no red tape, and the officers have not all been elected from any one hotel or restaurant but are composed of some of the very best men of the local hotel and restaurants of the city, whose names will be found in another section of the paper.

Completion of St. Paul's Second Missionary Tour—His Third Tour Leaving The Gospel Preached In Epic Opposition by Delided Agents or Adversary — Business Depressor Charged to Christianity—Real Secret of Opposition to True Gospel. "The love of money is a root of all kind of evil."—I Timothy 6:10. R.T. AFTER leaving Corinth, St. Paul completed his second missionary tour and returned to An touch. En route he stopped at Jerusalem where he greeted the Church and doudess gave them an account of the Lord's blessing upon his recent ministries in Europe. Aquilis and Priscilla wept with him as far as Ephesus. The vessel upon which he sailed remained at the poet over the Sabbath. St. Paul improved the opportunity to speak in the synagogue. His discourse there was in the nature of a preparation for a future work, which he hoped to do in Ephesus. We are not informed how long the Apostle remained at Antioch; but "after he had spent some time there, he departed and went over all the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, establishing all disciples." (Acis 18:18-23). While eneructe in the establishment of new companies of the Lord's people, he was not shaken in looking out for the spiritual growth of those which he had already established, as is evidenced by the fact that this was his third visit to these churches. On his return to Ephesus, St. Paul found that during his absence a Christian brother named Apollos had come there and had preached in the synagogue, using such logical arguments that he had secured twelve converts to Christianity. St. Paul speedily found these twelve converts and further instructed them in the way of the Lord. Apolios had explained to them the Gospel merely to the extent of repentance from sin and of faith in that he had seceded twelve converts to Christianity. St. Paul speedily found these twelve converts and further instructed them in the way of the Lord. Apollos had explained to them the Gospel merely to the extent of repentance from sin and of faith in Christ as the Redeemer. He had no knowledge of the deeper meaning of baptism as explained by St. Paul (Romans 6:3-5)—a baptism of consecration, to suffer with Christ, to be dead with Him, and ultimately to share with Him in His Kingdom. When the Ephesian converts heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus, to fellowship in His sufferings, even unto death. There are many believers today who, like these Ephesians, are members of the Household of Faith, but not members of the Body of Christ—who have gone as far as a baptism of repentance, reformation and faith in the Redeemer, but who have not been instructed respecting the great privileges belonging to the Gospel Age. They know not that we are privileged to become "heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, if so he that we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified to together." Rom. 8:17; 2 Tim. 2:11, 12. Opposition Based on Sensibility. After St. Paul had spent nearly three years at Ephesus, he purposed going again to Jerusalem, but first would visit the churches of Macedonia and Achaia. About this time occurred the plot described in today's Study, which probably would have determined the Apostle to leave Ephesus, if he had not already so purposed. The Lord permitted persecutions to drive St. Paul out of every place—this seemingly indicating the proper time for terminating his ministry at each point. Ephesus was one of the great cities of that time. At the head of its harbor stood one of "the seven wonders of the world," an immense temple of "Diana of the Ephesians"—the dely or Asla Minor. Of course the fame of this great idol attracted general attention; and those who could not go to Ephesus to worship at her shrine purchased from merchants certain charms which consisted of small silver copies of the shrine. In the Apostle's day the business of making these shrines employed thousands of men. A man named Denierius was the representative of the silversmiths' union. Incensed at the propaganda of the Church at Ephesus, he aroused his fellow-craftsmen by a stirring speech in which he painted a black picture of the business depression that would result if this man Paul were permitted to preach much longer in their city With a wonderful cunning he com- blinded the thought of their duty of supporting the religion of their city with that of looking out for their pocketbooks. Soon the city was in an uproar, touched t. the quick on his humanity's tenderest spots—religion and worldly prosperity. Tumult at Ephesus. of residence being known, the most rushed thither. The Apostle was absent; but two of his assistants were hurried to the theatre. Learning of the commotion, St. Paul, would have courageously entered into the thick of the trouble; but the brethren suffered him not. The Lord, however, assisted the two brethren who were arrested. The town clerk came to their relief, and showed that the meeting was nothing short of a riot, which if reported to the imperial government at Rome, would greatly reflect against their city. With this he disliked the assembly. FROM DEATH TO LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS These Sons of God Once Dead In Sin Like the Remainder of the World. Adam Originally a Son of God—Holy Angels Also Sons—Dominion of Sin In Failen World Gave Opportunity For the Preparation of a Chosen Class—These So Be God's. Instruments For Blessing and Instructing Others—Jehovah's Plan Wonderful.

The theme of the discourse was the Call and De- PASTOR RUSSELL Cleveland, August 13. — Pastor Russell gave an instructive address here today, based on the text, "And you hath He quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins." — Ephesians 2:1. The theme of the discourse was the Call and Development of the PASTOR RUSSELL the discourse with the Call, and Development of the Church of Christ. These, called during the Gospel Age, are the only ones with whom the Lord is now directly dealing. Originally they were under the Adamic death sentence. But through the sacrificial death of our Lord Jesus, God has arranged to extend to them an invitation to become His sons on a new plane—the highest in existence. From the time of their spirit-begetting to this new nature until their birth in the First Resurrection this class are subject to experiences* designed to develop in them the character-likeness of Christ. Those who make their calling and election sure will be glorified with their Lord and will share in His exaltation. The Pastor showed that his text applies, not to the world, but to the Church. This class were formerly dead in the sense that they were condemned in Adam, like the remainder of his posterity. They were included in his death sentence. From the Divine standpoint, Adam's children are a dead race. No human being has life in a legal sense except those who have obtained it from God through His appointed Channel—the Lord Jesus Christ, the great Life-giver to the world. The life which He will give to Adam's posterity in God's due time will be the life which He purchased for them by the sacrifice of HIs own human nature. The Scriptures speak of Adam in his original perfection as a son of God. (Luke 3:38.) He was a human son. The holy angels are also sons of God, as the Bible declares. Adam lost this relationship through disobedience. Consequently there is no sense in which his posterity are children of God. But through our Redeemer God has opened a way by which He could; during this Gospel Age, call some of Adam's sons to become a New Creation, sons of God on the Divine plane. (2 Peter 1:4; 1 John 3:1:3.) The arrangement by which *He* is doing this is suggested in, "You ** * hath He quickened." $ ^{E} $ How These Sons Were Quickened. The Apostle is not here speaking of the birth of this class in the First Resurrection, but of their present condition. They were quickened—made alive as New Creatures in Christ—when, after having accepted Christ as their Savior and having presented themselves in full consecration to God, they were received and had imputed to them the merit of Christ's blood. There they were begotten of God's Holy Spirit. [Illus] power] to a new nature. There the new life in Christ had its beginning. This embryo life is to grow and develop until its perfection in the resurrection, when it will receive its new spiritual body. Though these spiritual sons are the creation of the Heavenly Father, yet their quickening could not come without the Son. (1 Corinthians 8:6.) Not that the Son quickened them; but that He died for the sin of the world, and so opened the way by which any of Adam's posterity could approach the Father. Moreover, since this called class must still use their imperfect human bodies, it is necessary that their Redeemer's merit continually cover them as a robe while they remain in the flesh; and because of their daily imperfections they need Jesus to be their Advocate with the Father, that they may continue to be acceptable.—1 John 2:1. The Pastor then demonstrated conclusively from Scripture that there are two salavations therein presented; one for the Church, the other for the world. (Hebrews 2:3; Jude 3; 1 John 2:3; etc.) The Church receives life from the Heavenly Father, through the Lord Jesus Christ. The world will receive life as a direct gift from the Son, who alone will deal with mankind during the incoming Age. Our Lord Jesus will be the world's "Everlasting: [Age-lasting] Father." But He is the Church's Elder Brother. The world will not have access to the Father until the close of the Millennium. The Church has access now, through the imputed merit of our Lord Jesus. What the world will receive during: the next Age is something purchased for them directly by our Lord. What the Church receives is something far above what was purchased by Christ. This purchased human life they laid down as a joint-sacrifice with their Lord, in order that they might share in His sufferings and in the glory to follow. Jehovah's great Plan is being carried out upon a wonderful scale.
