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 JACK H. RALLSTON History of His Life—Candidate for Congress from the Fifth Congressional District of Maryland—His Remarkable Career. Jackson H. Ralston, Democrat candidate for Congress from this district, was born in California. His father was Judge James H. Ralston; who took a very prominent part in the affairs of the Far West, and was of Virginia and Kentucky stock. Mr. Ralston came East about thirty years ago and took up his residence in Hyattsville, Prince George county, Md. During the years that have followed the establishment of his residence, he has devoted himself to the practice of law, as a profession, and the study and solution of public questions as a citizen. He has gained almost a world-wide reputation as an authority on International Arbitration. He was Umpire of the controversies existing between Venezuela and Italy in 1903 and sat at Caracas, Venezuela, for six months, settling the disputes between these two nations, where he had to finally pass upon claims against Venezuela and in favor of Italy for more than $5,000,000. The Venezuela Claims Commission consisted of two Commissioners and an Umpire and the duty developed upon the Umpire to render a decision for it in a few many instances. He had previously been counsel for the United States in what has become known as "The Pious Fund Case." The controversy there was between the United States and the Republic of Mexico, growing out of certain missionary properties which Mexico had seized prior to the cession of California to the United States. The contention ran over a number of years, and finally, at the demand of the United States, as ferred to The Court of Justice, both sides were represented in the argument before this International Court, the United States being represented by Mr. Ralston. The opinion of the Court in making its award adopted to a large extent the argument made by Mr. Ralston on behalf of the United States. As a result of this hearing, which was held at The Hague in Holland, Mexico was compelled to pay to the United States a considerable sum of money and a perpetual annual sum of $42,000. Growing out of these two experiences, Mr. Ralston became so thoroughly acquainted with arbitral law, that a demand was made upon him to put these in such definite form as might be used in the future. As a result he is the author of "Venezuelan Arbitrations of 1903" and "International Arbitral Law and Procedure," both of which have been often cited by the State Department and are regarded as authority by European International Lawyers. It would seem that in view of his exceptional experiences along this line, it elected to Congress, he ought to be of equally unusual service to the Nation. Not only in foreign affairs has Mr. Ralston been prominent, but in domestic matters. He was counsel for the American Federation of Labor in the Buck Stove and Range case. There the officers of the American Federation of Labor were charged with contempt in violating an injunction of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, prohibiting the publication of the name of the Buck Company, in the "We Don't Patronize List," and maintaining a boycott. Mr. Ralston's contentions in the trial Court were overruled. He received comparatively little satisfaction from the Court of Appeals for his clients, but the Supreme Court of the United States decided the case in his favor upon the very points argued by him in the trial court. The trial judge attempted to adjust himself to the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, and in a second proceeding the latter Court decided in favor of Mr. Ralston's clients, who were thus freed of the contempt charge. His connection with the now-famous Federal "Employees' Liability Act" ought not to go unmentioned. In 1906, Congress had attempted to remove some of the hardships then existing in the law of negligence, and the Supreme Court in 1908 had declared this act unconstitutional. Mr. Ralston was asked by Mr. Fuller, representing the Railway Trainmen's Union, to recast the act in such a way as to meet the objections of the Supreme Court and to draft an act that would be constitutional. The necessity for such an act to railway employees consisted in this. Under the law as it existed before the act, a railway employee injured by the negligence of a fellow employee was powerless to recover from the railroad for such injury. This was under what was technically known as the Fellow Servants' Doctrine. A railway employee injured by the negligence of the railway primarily and partly by his own negligence, however small, was likewise banned from recovery after the doctrine of Contributary Negligence. Both of these doctrines were of common law origin and both worked manifest injustice. It was the apparent desire of Congress to change these hard technical rules, making them more consonant, with reason. The first attempts at it had failed by reason of the Supreme Court's declaration of its unconstitutionality. Mr. Ralston framed an act to meet these difficulties, and it has withstood attacks upon it from many directions and accomplished the purpose desired. In the recent election in Maryland, wherein the constitutional amendment-regarding the referendum was involved, Mr. Ralston took a very active part. The referendum had been the subject of much study by Mr. Ralston and he made many public speeches upon it at that time. The amendment carried in the State by an enormous majority. Mr. Ralston's wife is the daughter of the former senior partner of the late Justice T. Miller, of the United States Supreme Court. If Mr. Ralston is elected to Congress, the Fifth District can be assured of his active work for the betterment of the Nation and the Congressional District. The Baltimore Sun published on him May 3d the following editorial: "The Democrats of the Fifth Congressional District are to be congratulated upon the nomination of a candidate such as Jackson H. Ralston. All of us do not agree with some of Mr. Ralston's economic theories, but there can be no argument as to his intellectuality. He is one of the most aggressive lawyers in the State and a man of unimaginability in nearly every direction, it is not often that we get a man of such caliber on our lists of Congressional candidates. If Congress were composed of men of the intelligence and strength of Ralston, it would be the most impressive legislative body in the world, instead of being, as it frequently is, an object of contempt." Can the voters do better than sup port a man of this character? SUNDAY, AUGUST 20, 1916, Borwn's Memorial A. M. E. Church, Fourteenth and B. Northeast Fourteenth and B Northeast. Sunday all day at Brown Memorial A. M. E. Church was a red-letter day. Each service seemed so full of zeal and interest that each one who came within her scope were charmed, so to speak, with what they heard and realized. The Sabbath School met early in the morning at its usual time. After devotional exercises the classes studied the lesson for the allotted time. Rev. W. H. Manokoo, the pastor, gave them a splendid review at th conclusion of the lesson study. This session being over the regular church service took up at this point. With singing one of its old familiar C. M. tunes. After invocation and the opening ceremonies the pastor taking, his text in Jer. 6:16, subject, "Being Tried by the Lord. Try the Lord." This beautiful, yet unique subject was handled in a careful and painstaking way. The first part was philosophical and close, soaring in scope from, the depths of mineral beds to the starry-decked heavens, and beyond. The second and last parts were splendidly fitted into each day's work and the duties which belong to us and our fellowmen. The admonition and helpful instruction will be of lasting good even when the speaker shall have passed these shores of time. They were as seed sown in good soil; the effects may be seen again soon. At 6:30 p. m. the Allen Christian Endeavor League met to carry out a pre-arranged program. While the members and friends were a little late in gathering, still this did not lessen the interest nor impede the headway that was so apparent. The program was rare and spicy, interspersed with music by the Christian Endeavor choir, this being their first appearance since organizing. They were accompanied by an orchestra of four pieces, under Mr. Jas. Browner as director. The Columbia orchestra, with Mr. Dood A. Brooks' also-assisting as he is connected to the Endeavor and is with us at all times; therefore, his services were very much appreciated. After the devotion the choir chanted the Lord's Prayer. Scripture reading by Mrs. Hattie Edwards. Pres. J. E. Johnson made some very timely remarks, setting forth in a few well chosen words, the foundation and rise of the institution. After singing, one more of those beautiful and soul-stirring new pieces by the choir, the master of ceremonies introduced Mr. Sandy E. Freeling, who was master of the occasion. He covered himself with glory, taking for his subject "Missions." Words are inadequate to rightly express the greatness of this far-reaching and uplifting discourse. It was great, to say the least about it. Mr. Freeling, on account of a previous engagement, had to hurry through with this splendidly prepared paper, only taking 12 minutes, in which time he waited our very souls to the realms on high. It was replete in its scope. The paper by Mr. Wesley Selby was very good and to the point, making a splendid bearing on his hearers. Miss Iron Fleet sang that old, sweet and ever-to-be-adored piece, "Safe in the Arms of Jesus;" singing vocally, she did well. Dr. George A. Reynolds being present also for the occasion gave us a very painstaking and most excellently prepared paper. Mr. Albert F. Reed, whom we were glad to welcome, gave some very timely, instructions and advice, very touching indeed were his remarks. Miss Beatrice Robinson, and our pianist, distinguished herself with an instrumental solo. The exercises closed here as the time for regular services of the church.

After listening to those beautifully chosen and round numbers during the day, he seemed inspired and easily placed upon it the climax. Sunday was a great day from several viewpoints. Splendid congregations all day. ELK CONVENTION NOTES. Philadelphia, Pa., August 20 to 25. The annual sermon was preached by Rev. James E. Churchman, Grand Chaplain of the order, at Cherry Memorial Baptist Church on Sunday morning. On Monday evening Hon. E. J. Cathel, city statistician, made the address of welcome for the mayor, taking as his subject, "The Power of Organization," which was responded to by Grand Exalted Ruler T. Giles Nutter. Tuesday at 4:30 a. m., the Washington delegates arrived, the marching clubs of both local lodges, Nos. 40 and 85 and Morning Star's brass band. After the great street parade hundreds flocked to Point Breeze Park to the picnic and band contest. Monumental Band of Baltimore won the first prize of $100, and Richmond won the second, which was $50.00, and Wilmington won the third of $25.00. Tuesday night was spent at the Philadelphia Elks' Home, one of the finest in the country. Hundreds were entertained by music and dancing. Social session was on for the entire week. Miss Edith Slater and a countless quamber of Philadelphia young set were on hand to help entertain the visitors. PAPER READ BY MRS. ALBERTA BROWN At Eulogistic Services of Dr. J. T. Clark, "Death Swallowed Up in Victory." Ist Cor. 15. Though death extend his icy hand, No terror did he bring. Oh, Grave! Where is thy victory? Oh, death! Where is thy sting? All that the world calls good or great Recedes before his view; Its honors, riches, pleasures, joys, its honors, riches, pleasures, joys, its noun and splendor too. His point and spiritifier too: 'My heart is in the project.' His heart is in the project. Weep not, dear friends, nor mourn for him; Oh, stay the falling tear The righteous in his death has hope, He had no cause to fear. Oh, Glive. Where is thy victory. Oh, Death. Where is thy sting? His resting place the lonely grave. No terror had you see? Twas but he passage to the skies. To immortality. Entranced with thoughts of Jesus' He did with rapture sing Oh. Grave! Where is thy victory? Oh. Grave! Where is thy sting? Its prison house of clay. And joined the Angels round his bed Who beckoned him away His soul did breathe these parting words. While mounting on the wing, Oh, Grave! Where is thy victory? Oh, Death! Where is thy sting? Through fields of light and joy and love, Untiring he did roam Until he saw the pearly gates Of his eternal home. Angels did roll the portals back, And he in glory sing. Oh Grave! Where is thy victory? Oh. Death! Where is thy sting? We the officers and members of Mt. Horseb Baptist Church Choir, assemble on this very sad occasion to add a tribute of respect to our beloved deceased pastor. Rev. James T. Clark, who passed from labor to reward and is now nasking in the sunlight of eternal glories. Rev. Clark was devoted to this choir, he being a man possessing a musical talent, was always ready to sing. At all times you could hear his deep voice ring out in all selections, if I could get you to stop for a space of a few minutes, and listen attentively while the music floats from the pearly white throne down past the mansions of the saints' rest, coming down by the sweet fields of Eden, blowing over the scar of glass, coming over the banks of deliverance, we could hear him singing, "Home, Home, Home, with Jesus, never more to roam. Now joining with the saints departed, singing round the great white throne." Since it was the will of God to remove from our midst our beloved pastor, be it resolved that we, the choir, regret very much that it was not ours to attend the funeral and take the lead in the musical part of the programme. Be it further resolved, that at any time a movement is started to erect a monument to mark the last resting place of our beloved pastor at his home in North Carolina we stand ever ready to assist. Further be it resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to his church in North Carolina, one to the family, one at the memorial services whenever held at his home church, and the original to be read at the memorial services at the Mt. Horeb Baptist Church whenever so arranged. We will not say "Good bye" but in some bright clime, bid him "Good morning." HOTEL DALE Cape May, N. Y. August 28. 1916.

RECEIVES OVATION The Bee's Special Correspondent Royally Entertained—Scott Wins by 188 to 73—Scott Against, the Field—Great Ovation at Wannamaker's. By DeReef Miller. Special to The Washington Bee. Philadelphia, Pa., August 22, 1916.—The entire Marching Club of Morning Star Lodge No. 40, I. B. P. O. Elks, known as the Armond W. Scott Club, arrived with their brass band of 30 pieces and marched into the City of Brotherly Love at 4:30 a. m., from Broad Street station Marched through the principal streets, playing "Are You From Dixie?" A big welcoming committee from O. V. Catto Lodge of Philadelphia was at the station to meet the Washington delegation which was headed by Alexander Taylor, their Exalted Ruler. The Capital City delegation marched to their headquarters on South street where they were greatly cheered. The colored populace was wide awake and the few that were asleep were awakened by the strains of popular song hits of the brass band. After refreshing and a short nap, the boys were ready for the parade which 8,000 colored Elks from all parts of the country took part and tied up the street car service and traffic in the business section. Their regalia was very practical with the severe heat, being made of some of the most fashionable wearing apparel. The Lady Elks were out in the parade in large numbers. Each city was represented by several automobiles which figured greatly in the process. The parade was policed by Philadelphia crack mounted police who showed great skill in keeping the enormous crowds back. Spring Garden, Broad, and many of the principal streets were roped off. Among the victims prostrated from the heat was a member of Morning Star's brass hard frost. Washington Ice, water venders made big profits selling ice water to the heat stricken multitudes at five cents a glass. The New Orleans delegation won the first prize of $100 for having the largest delegation from the farthest point; the Richmond Elks took away two of the trophies. The city has been turned over practically to the colored Elks; the streets are roped in bunting and flags; the colored and white merchants have their places decorated and a special bill for Elks' week is on at Gibson's Theater with 25 colored theoretical stars and one white act. The vote was 188 to 72. It was Scott against the field. He was given the greatest and most popular demonstration ever tendered any Grand Exalted Ruler on the night of the election. O. V. Catto Band of the O. V. Catto Lodge of Elks of Philadelphia, consisting of sixty pieces, met Mr. Scott at the hall and serenaded him, then escorted him to his headquarters with a torch light procession. The greatest hit of the week was the mastery impromptu address delivered by Armond W. Scott in Wanamaker's great auditorium, where the Elks assembled as the guests of Mr. Wanamaker. Every one present agreed that it was a masterpiece and a powerful appeal for an equal chance for his oppressed race. Truly Mr. Scott was the idol of the convention which finally culminated in his overwhelming election. August 24, 1916. The Gr. Lodge, Ball in the Academy of Music, Broad and Locust streets was the greatest social functions given by colored people in this city. O. V. Catto Lodge Band and orchestra of 80 pieces, furnished the music while upwards of three thousands tangued, fox trotted and hesitated until dawn. A feature of the ball was the grand march led by Prof. William A. Sheaff, forming in the Green room the couples marched upon a small stage, then down a short fight of stairs, onto the ball room floor. Many pretty figures were executed by the three hundred couples, ending in a grand march up the floor, thirty-two abreast. Prof. Sheaff was assisted by Mr. G. Walter Johnson. The wedding of Mr. John H. Carlis, of Chicago, to Miss Grace Young, of New York, was more than novel. Never before in the long history of the historic Academy have a couple been married upon the ball room floor which has been the scared shrine of the millionaries and the blue-bloods for more than a half century. The wedding ceremony was performed by Rev. J. E. Churchman, Grand Chaplin of the Order, in the centre of the ball room floor. The bridal party consisted of the following: Mr. John H. Carlis, Miss Grace Young, James T. Cooper, Exalter Ruler, Great Lakes Lodge; John P. Reed, John Powers, Ummie Collins, Edward H. Jones, Shep Allen, Mrs. Agnes Gosher and Mrs. Etta Wilson. The merry makers continued their riot of fun until the last delegate packed his grip and left town. "GLAD RAGS" THE CORPULENT TRAMP HERE'S A INVITE TER EAT A EASTER DINNER WID ME.

NEXT SCHOOL TERM OPENS OCT. 4, 1916. For catalog and detailed information, address: PRESIDENT JAMES E. SHEPARD NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL NATIONAL NEWS NOTES. Brief Bits of News and Comment On Men and Women. Negro Students Save Onion Crop. Amherst, Miss.—A force of 300 Negro students from the Hampton Institute, Va. and 500 other Negroes from the South farmed and harvested the onion crop in a portion of Connecticut this year, when the regular farm hands left the fields for higher wages in the munition factories of the state, according to a statement of J. W. Alsop of Avon, Conn., before the Onion Growers of Hampshire and Franklin counties yesterday. Mr. Alsop said: "When our laborers went to the factories we raised $8,000 and sent to employment agents in the cities. The men provided were worse than useless. Then we sent to the South and got 300 students from Hampton Institute and other schools and 500 other Negroes. "These students went to church, sang well and by their gentlemanly conduct won the good will of the community and the praise of their employers." White Illiterates Increasing. Illiterates are increasing in numbers in New England and in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and in the Far West. Illiterates are decreasing in numbers in the Southern States. The South, is meeting its problem of the illiterate Negro: the North and the West are not meeting their problem of the illiterate white man. White immigration explains the increase in number of illiterates. Every other class of illiterates has decreased—Negroes, Chinamen, Japanese, poor whites, moonshiners, native-born whites of native parents, native-born whites of foreign parents, native-born whites of mixed native and foreign parentage. Only the foreign-born illiterates have increased. The Washington Daily Herald tells of Mississippi's farce in trying to keep information from white and Colored people allike in the expression which follows: Prohibition in Mississippi has taken a queer turn. The only real and simon-pure prohibition in the State now is against the freedom of the press in publishing advertisements. The legislature which has just ad- Journed enacted a law which prohibits the sale or circulation of any newspaper or periodical which carries an advertisement of any alcoholic liquors. The prohibition of the sale and use of liquors does not go far. That law permits the importation of two quarts of whiskey or twelve quarts of beer for each adult citizen every four weeks. The people may buy and use liquors but they may not read advertisements to guide them in how and where to buy, or what should be the market price. They may send to New York or New Orleans an order for these goods which are not contraband in the State, but they may not read an advertisement giving them information about what they are to order or what price they are to pay. The people of Mississippi have long resented the old history of that State written by northern men to the effect that they prohibited the circulation of knowledge among the slaves; but the new law against advertising of lawful goods is a prohibition of the circulation of information to the white people as well as, to the Negroes of the State. There might be some consistency in the laws of Mississippi if the prohibition of the liquor DURHAM, N. C. traffic went as far as does the prohibition of advertising. But as these laws now stand they are absolutely inconsistent; and more against the freedom of the press than the prohibition of the liquor traffic. With such legislation it may not. be surprising that the cities in Mississippi have the highest record of crime in the country. EULOGISTIC SERVICES For. Rev. J. T. Clark, D.D., Ph.D., at Mt. Horeb Baptist Church, N. E. Washington, D. C., on Thursday Evening, August 17, 1916. Thursday evening, August 17, at 8 o'clock p. m., was a brilliant, though sad occasion for Mt. Horeb Baptist Church, northeast, Washington, D. C. Fully twenty ministers of the churches of the city came out to deliver speeches of eulogy on the life and pastoral services of the Rev. J. T. Clark, D.D. Ph.D., late pastor of the church, whose death was reported in this paper. Among those present may be named Rev. Drs. M. W. D. Norman, 'president of the Baptist City Ministers' Conference; J. I. Loving, secretary of same; S. M. Johnson, John Richards, W. A. Taylor, A. Sayles, G. J. Mills, N. Moore, J. L. Garfield, J. N. Beaman, P. J. Riching, James F. Brooks, W. H. Manokoor, Joseph Matthews, C. H. Fox, D. J. Edwards, C. H. Smith, J. H. Burk and S. G. Lamblins. The church was filled with a fine assemblage of people who came out to pay funeral respect, to the beloved pastor, Dr. Clark. Mrs. Alberta Brown, Mrs. Lottie Brown, Mrs. Mary Jackson, Mrs. Manie Monroe, Mr. William Monroe and the younger ladies, Misses Henrietta Jones, Anna Dangerfield, Julia Hall, Sadie Graham, Elnora Epps, Naomi Dandridge, and Naomi Brown make up the choir which rendered a select number of appropriate hymns and solos. Dr. Norman, as master of ceremonies, opened the service with a short speech, telling why the assemblage. He then introduced Rev. Dr. S. M. Johnson, who selected and lined the hymn, "Servant of God, Well Done," most impressively, and the choir sweetly sang it. Rev. Dr. J. I. Loving read the scripture lesson from 1st Cor., 15th chapter. Rev. Dr. John Richards offered prayer, followed by hymn from the choir, "Why Should We Mourn Depared Friends?" Resolutions from the church were read by Bro. Townley Brown, who gave a lengthy narrative of the church life of the deceased. Then came remarks by Deacon Webb, representing the church board and relationship between them and pastor. Highly eulogistic were these remarks. Among other things the speaker said, "Dr. Clark did not believe in turning members out of the church, but in saving them in the church." Deacon Webb has been in office of Deacon for forty years. Next came the choir, represented by Mrs. Alberta Brown, who read a paper, subject, "Death Is Swallowed Up in Victory." 1st Cor. 15. The Sunday School was represented by Mr. Robert Harid, followed by brief remarks from Mrs. Davis. A solo, "Nearer the Great White Throne," was sweety sung by Miss Hattie Dandridge. Dr. J. I. Loving read a copy of the night, letter-telegram sent, by him to family of Dr. Clark in North Carolina, from or on behalf of the Baptist City Ministers' Conference, after which the Rev. Dr. A. Sayles proceeded to preach the sermon of eulogy. He took as his text "By it he being dead, yet speaketh;" subject, "A Godly or Christian Character." Dr. Sayles preached a strong and instructive sermon. He is indeed a forceful preacher and discussed his subject well. Dr. Taylor of North Carolina was next introduced, who spoke of his acquaintance with Dr. Clark, and was followed by Dr. J. H. Burk. Dr. Loving then made brief remarks in which he told that Dr. Clark was for a time president of the Baptist City Ministers' Conference, and trustee of the Old Folks' Home. Rev. Dr. Manooko, pastor of Brown's Memorial A. M. E. Church, was now introduced and spoke with eloquence then came Revs. Dr. S. G. Lankins and Joseph Matthews, who delivered excellent words of praise on the life of the deceased. Mrs. Mary Jackson sang a beautiful solo, followed by remarks from Revs. Drs. John Richards and C. H. Fox, who has been and now is the acting pastor of the church. Rev. Dr. James L. Garfield made the closing remarks and the choir sang for closing "Safe in the Arms of Jesus." Deacons R. Robinson and associates, Deacons Washington and others, with Sister Rosa J. Edwards, deserve special mention for the successful efforts made by them in so quickly arranging these eulogistic services with Revs. Drs. Norman and Loving and the other ministers whose good pleasure it was to be there. The Baptist City Ministers' Conference, on re-convening after the summer vacation following the third Monday in September, will hold memorial exercises or services in this church as usually done after 30 days for Dr. Clark. This is the text of Dr. Sayles, verily carried out, "He being dead, yet speaketh. GO TO HOLMES' HOTEL 333 Virginia Ave., S. W.

A great deal of complaint is generally made by the colored people against the white people, but from the stand point of The Bee, the colord people or at least some of them are their own enemies. Many of them complain of the injustice of the white race towards them, but, in many instances they prefer to patronize those institutions that are inimical to them, than they do those places conducted by their own people or those that are more friendly to them. As an evidence of what The Bee asserts, walk from Seventh and K streets Northwest to Rhode Island Ave. Northwest, and upon Fourteenth and P streets northwest to You streets and witness the hundreds of Colored patrons patronizing the cheap lunch rooms of those people who have no respect for them and those lunch rooms that are conducted by their own people. It seems to be a mania with some colored people to have a desire to enter places conducted by white people who don't want them, rather than patronize houses of their own or those houses conducted by white people who cater to colored trade. Some of them look just like monkeys seated at those Italian lunch counters. Then, again, there are some colored people who insist on entering places where they are not wanted which tend to prejudice the better element of white people against the better element of colored citizens who are satisfied with existing conditions. There is the colorphobia among certain classes of colored citizens which has long existed in this city. The white fever it is called. The colored schools are infected with this disease, so much so that it has almost ruined the colored schools. If you will witness many of these school dramas, you will see that an effort is always made to select those as near white as possible, regardless of their ability. This is what you call, in the minds of those teachers, superior African intellect. This is showing up the bastard blood in many instances not colored American blood. It is believed the majority of the present board of education will see to it that a square deal is given to worthy pupils in our colored schools. The only way to eliminate race prejudice and discrimination in our colored schools is to get rid of those who are too white to be identified with the Negro race and too black to be taken upon equality with the white race. It is utterly impossible to force social equality upon any nationality and the colored sister and brother might as well come to the conclusion that he must place themselves in such condition and circumstances to draw the white man to them. There is only one way to do it and that is by race pride. The Negro is his own enemy. EDUCATIONAL CQNFERENCE The much advertised Educational conference took place last week in the Metropolitan Methodist Church. Just what was accomplished The Bee would like to know. The baby was born in Missouri and its death took place in this city and its funeral sermon and eulogies were delivered mostly by Missourians. Now, if some one will kindly state just what this conference accomplished The Bee woud be pleased to publish it. The Bee is informed that the promoters of this alleged educational conference requested the governors of states to appoint delegates to this alleged conference. If negroes are capable of conferring with one another why have governors of states to appoint them to their own conference? Some colored people have the most peculiar ideas about business that The Bee has ever seen. Most of the so-called delegates came from Missouri, where the chairman, Mr. Silas Harris, came from. He was the principal promoter and the individual who requested governors of states to name negro delegates. Delegates in this city just walked with the conference and opened their mouths whenever they felt like letting off gas. One wide-mouth individual, who calls himself an editor, just opened his mouth and told how he went to the Secretary of War and demanded that the colored soldiers stationed at Ft. Radio, in Arlington, Va., be sent to the front and it was done. "Hurrah!" cried one brother in the innen corner. "Tell it. Brother," shouted one sister, at the mourners' bench. The louder this individual hollowed, the more the surplus gas issued from the lungs of the audience. This and similar rot were exploded at this educational conference. Prof. Charles M. Thomas, who makes mistakes some times, made a very creditable talk at one of its sessions. The Educational Conference is now ancient history. NEGRO DEMOCRATS. A delegation of colored men, better known as negro democrats, headed by Giles B. Jackson of Richmond, Va., called on the President this week and complimented him for what he has done for the country and assured him that he and his delegation would support him for re-election. The Bee is well acquainted with Giles and knows well his political career. Every man has a right to support for office whom he pleases. If Mr. Jackson believes that President Wilson is entitled to his support, that is Mr. Jackson's opinion and no one has any right to question his opinion of motives. Mr. Jackson, of course, doesn't want an office, in the event the democrats succeed. He prefers to be at the head of industrial affairs where he can handle thousands of dollars and distribute among the most worthy as much as he thinks they are entitled to. Soon after Dr. Booker T. Washington died Giles and a few other colored statesmen opened an office on You street and incorporated a Booker T. Washington Memorial Association. The Bee thought such an association unwise and its opposition to establishment caused it to die a natural death. Giles then packed his baggage and returned to Richmond, Va. Giles has great admiration for this city even if he is compelled to retire to inform President Wilson that he is for him. Probably Giles wishes to be head instructor in the military school for colored recruits. Now just wait and see what Giles wants. Certainly it has been written that no negro democrat need expect an office in the event of democratic success, and the most that he may hope is a salary of 50 per week and receipt in full at the end of the campaign just as before. NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL If there ever was a man who deserves the plaudits of the south on educational and industrial lines it is Dr. James E. Shepard of Durham. No man has had the opposition and the treachery of supposed loyal friends that this prince of a new propaganda. One would suppose that there was some honor among big colored men, or colored men who pretend that they are loyal to a cause for right, justice and progress. His loyal colored friends in North Carolina, such men as Messrs. Merritt, Spaulding, Pearson and others, have given this school its most loyal and liberal support. Dr. Shepard is in the north today working in the interest of his great institution which is steadily growing and before long the greatest educational center, so far as the south is concerned, will be in Durham, N.

Members Must Be Willing to Walk Before Assembled Multitude, Including Their Wives, Unshod and Be as Nonchalant as Can Be. Sacramento, Cal.—Harkening back to the days when man roamed carelessly across green pastures, unshackled by costly footwear, when cool, solid comfort met the naked foot at every step and when corns and bunions were unheard of, four prominent Sacramentans have formed what is to be known as the Sacramento Barefoot league. There are four charter members of the league, all residents of Yardley avenue, and they are Dr. Robert E. Smith, James McCullough, L. O. Lumry and Steve Downey. The league was organized in quite an unintentional way. Which of the four was the originator is not known, but it is intimated that Dr. Smith, for several years advocate of the Coastless Summer League For Men, had something to do with it. At any rate the league has had several meetings: The requirements of the league are these: No member must be too modest to display his bare feet. He must be without pedal covering in attending meetings. He must be willing to, and enjoy, walking on his lawn before the assembled multitude, including his wife, unshod. He must be willing to step into his neighbor's house in his bare feet and walk across his neighbor's hardwood floors as nonchallantly as though he were Pithecanthropus in the jungles. Several meetings of the league have been held at the homes of the various charter members on Yardley avenue. The meetings are preceded by a cool walk upon the lawn of the host. As the evening becomes cool the members retire to the host's drawing room and are entertained with phonograph selections. Despite serious objection to the league on the part of the better halves in some of the homes, the organization has grown and is now reaching out for congenial spirits. "Keep cool and comfortable and cure your corns" is the slogan of the league. WINS FARM FOR 25 CENTS. Spokane Laborer Gets First Prize Among 90,000 In Land Drawing. Spokane, Wash.—It cost George Lennon, a young laborer of Spokane, just 25 cents to be awarded the best quarter section of land on the diminished Colville Indian reservation in the drawing recently held here by the government. His name was drawn first from a list of 90,410 names. He gets his choice of 160 acres of land from a total of approximately 350,000 acres. Five thousand five hundred names were drawn, and among these are to be distributed about 1,500 pieces of land. The names of those who had registered were heaped upon the stage, and four little Spokane girls picked at random the winners of Uncle Sam's gifts of land. The Colville reservation is less than fifty miles from Spokane. PLAYED PIANO FIFTY HOURS. Captured Long Distance Record; but Imagine the Neighbors' Sufferings! Muncie, Ind.—For fifty hours and five minutes—more than two days—W. G. Bagley of this city played the piano. In all that time he never ceased to keep the keys moving, never let melody curl up and go to sleep. Food and drink were brought to him at the instrument. Attendants sopped his head with towels. Tolerant friends stood about and encouraged him. He was after the long distance plano playing record, and, by gum, he got it! It is hoped no one will challenge this claim for endurance. It is certain that no one will ever question the generosity and the fortitude of Mr. Bagley's neighbors. Yet, of course, it may be that they were on their summer vacation. WALKS COUNTRY IN 70 DAYS. John H. Scott, at Fifty-six, Sets New Record In Pediatrism. Philadelphia.-John H. Scott recently reached the city hall, ending his walk from San Francisco. He is the champion long distance hiker of America. Scott crossed the continent in 70 days hours 30 minutes, almost ten days faster than any other man has made the distance. His 3,524 mile walk from San Francisco to Philadelphia beats the records of John Ennis and Edward P. Weston, the former champions. Scott, who is fifty-six, looked fit and hardened as he reached city hall. He lost only ten pounds. "Prayer and persistence did it," he said. "I used both frequently." WEDS COUSIN TO GET RANCH Member of Iowa Bachelor Girls' Club To Get $25,000 Also by Will. Council Bluffs, Ia.—By the terms of a will left by an uncle Miss Ruby Rosenbloom, a member of the Bluffs Bachelor Girls' club, must marry her cousin within the next five years in order to get a big ranch in Colorado and $25,000. The cousin whom she must marry if she wishes to inherit her uncle's forgune is I. Stina, also of Denver. BULLETS DIDN'T STOP HIM. Lead Fired Into. Lewis' Body Made No Impression. Baltimore.—Bullets make no impression upon Nathan Lewis of 1204 McElderry street, according to his evidence in the criminal court, where he was a star witness against William Edwards, charged with assault with intent to murder and carrying a deadly weapon. Lewis and Edwards had an argument. Edwards procured a revolver and shot at Lewis. One, bullet struck Lewis in the arm, but he merely plucked it out and threw it away. The second bullet went through Lewis' mouth while he was smiling over the failure of the first shot to do him injury, and it did nothing more than loosen one of his teeth. He spat the leaden pellet out and was proceeding to use his fists on Edwards when the pair were separated. Harry B. Walf pleaded self defense for his client, and Judge Stump gave him the benefit of the doubt and dismissed the case. NICKELS BUY A MOTORCAR. Minneapolis Man Saved Bison Branded Coins For Three Years. Minneapolis.-N. M. Carlson owns the first genuine jitney car in Minne- apolis. He acquired it a few days ago, no, he isn't going to haul passengers in it. It's a jitney car because he bought it with jitneys—and buffalo jit- neys at that. Carlson had long yearned for a motorcar. Three years ago he began saving buffalo nickels and sequestering them in a motorcar fund. Every time he got one of the bison branded coins in change he carefully laid it aside. Slowly the board grew until it reached a total of $401.45, the sum the motorcar people demanded for the fliver upon which the engineer's heart was set. The deal was made, and Carlson handed his 9,220 buffalo nickels over to the Minneapolis manager of the flivver company and drove, away in his shiny new car, the first real jitney car owned in Minneapolis or anywhere else. THREE TOED HORSE FOSSIL. Professor Says Animal Grazed In Nevada 3,000,000 Years Ago. Reno, Nev.—A well preserved set of teeth and jawbone of an animal which Professor J. C. Jones of the State university declares were the property of a three toed horse of the upper miocene age have been unearthed in the Washoe valley, on the Pedroll ranch, by university engineers. Professor Jones says the horse probably roamed the wilds of Nevada some 3,000,000 years ago. He says the horses of that date were even smaller than the Shetlands of the present day, and are classified as the eohippus. The specimens were found in a well which apparently penetrated a prehistoric lake bed. Teeth of mammoths, fossil leaves and other specimens of prehistoric ages have been found in wells on the Pedroll ranch. They are among the best in the fossil collection at the university, as they show clearly the age and classification to which they belong. CUPID IN A KEG OF POWDER English Girl Making Munitions Writes New Jersey Worker. Kenvil, N. J.—Harry Huberman, an employee at the Hercules Powder works here, recently inscribed his name and address on the face of an old broken watch and dropped it into a keg of smokeless powder which was to be shipped to England. This little incident may mean a wife for Huberman, who received a letter the other day from a young Englishwoman working in a munition factory at Newcastle-on-Tyne and inviting Huberman to correspond, which he has done. The letter was from Miss Jean Bumpton of 53 Hunter's road, Spitaltongues, Newcastle. The timepiece, it is believed, was discovered by Miss Bumpton as she was filling shell cases with the explosive. POLITICS CHEAP IN KANSAS. Seventeen Candidates Didn't Spend a Cent For Office. Topeka, Kan.—Seventeen candidates for state office and the state legislature went through the recent state wide primary without spending a cent. That was the record shown in the sworn statements of campaign expenses as filed with J. T, Botkin, secretary of state. Nine other candidates spent a dollar or less in making their campaign; while seven candidates won nominations on expenses of less than 50 cents, three spent a dime or less, and two won nominations for the price of a two cent postage stamp, according to the statements. All candidates were within the 10 per cent limit allowed by law. BROILED LIZARD AS FOOD. Claim Made' by Native Epicures of Nicaragua Bagged by U. S. Marines. Managua, Nicaragua.—Perhaps broiled lizard will never find its way to the menu cards of fashionable New York restaurants, but the United States marines attached to the American legation here have found fried or broiled iguana steaks served with a pasty sauce made from alligator pears to be everything claimed by the native epicures.

St. Louis.—Edward Lane, a negro, went to the Municipal-Courts building for the avowed purpose of forcing the city to pay him for a pair of shoes which lie wore out while serving a 100 day sentence in the workhouse on a peace disturbance charge. At the police court parole office Lane was told there was no fund from which he could be reimbursed for his shoes. "Them shoes was worth $5, but I'll take 75 cents and call it square," said Lane. "If I don't get it I'm going to sue the city. I won't hire me cheap lawyer, neither. I'll hire Senator Hoke Smith of Alabama." Smith is a senator from Georgia. Lane left the building saying he would see Judge Hogan, who fined him. The judge said the negro did not visit him. "If he does," he said, "I'll give him the money and save the city from a lawsuit." ADVANCE PRICE OF New York.—Book lovers will have to pay from 10 to 25 cents more for current publications. Publishers and retailers already have increased the price. Books formerly selling from 50 cents to $1 now are rated at 10 cents higher. Those in the past priced from $1 to $2 are sold at an increase of 25 cents each. The publishers claim that there has been an increase in the price of paper, leather, cloth and ink amounting to from 50 to 100 per cent during the past twelve months, and it is impossible to produce books at old prices. The consensus of opinion among them is that under the present serious conditions a further increase of from $10^{\circ}$ to 20 per cent may be necessary. They say their only hope is in the ending of the European war. It is claimed there is also a shortage of chemicals which must be obtained from Europe for the manufacture of their particular grade of paper. The surplus supply of this class of material is exhausted and the publishers will have to depend upon a new supply. TROOPS MAKE ADOBE HUTS. With Dog Tents, United States Soldiers Now Have Combination Houses: San Antonio, Tex.—Combination adobe and dog tent huts now shelter a large proportion of the American troops in Mexico, according to General Tusker H. Bliss, assistant chief of staff of the United States army, who returned here recently from a trip to General Pershing's headquarters. General Bliss said that on finding themselves due to stay in Mexico for some time-thousands of soldiers constructed adobe walls about three feet high and U shaped. On top they pitched their dog tents, previously their only shelter, thus gaining a roomier and more comfortable lodging. Beds have been supplied by stuffing sacks with grass. WIDOW 34 YEARS, PENSIONED. Mexican Veteran Died Before Law Was Passed Providing Pay. Buffalo. Thirty-four years after the death of her husband, who fought in the Mexican war, Mrs. Laura M. Hawley of Lockport was notified by the local pension agency that she would receive back pension from 1887, the year the law granting pensions to soldiers of the Mexican war was passed. She will receive $3,200 in a lump sum and $12 a month for the remainder of her life. Mrs. Hawley was the second wife of Hawley, who died five years before the pension law was enacted. She did not learn until five years ago, she said, that she was entitled to a pension. WHITE MAN IS NEGRO'S HEIR Prominent College Athlete, Adopted Son, Gets About $100,000.

WOULD BE USEFUL IN WAR. J. C. Mars, Who, With Augustus Post, Will Be In Charge of Training School, Believes They Could Fill Important Missions For Government. New York.—New York will soon have a corps of newspaper aviators, according to the plans of the New York Flying Yacht club, whose officials have offered to give courses in aviation to all newspaper men capable of becoming aviators. The club recently received permission to use the North river water front at One Hundred and Twenty-ninth street for a landing stage for hydroneroplanes and aeroplanes, and floats, hangars and machine shops will be erected there in the near future. J. C. Mars and Augustus Post, aviators, will be in charge of the training school for newspaper men, and, with Francis W. Clinton, acting chairman of THE RACE Photo by American Press Association. J. O. MAIS AT THE WHEEL. the club, they believe experience in observation will make the novices excellent air scouts in time of war. In discussing the plan, Mr. Mars said the club not only would maintain a landing station for sportsmen and business men who would commute by air from their country homes to the city, but would also teach civilians to fly. "We believe that newspaper men will make good aviators," he said, "and we plan to give them free instruction in the handling of all types of flying craft. In the past newspaper men have done great service for their country, and in case of war these men may have an opportunity to lend valuable aid to the government. As courteses of the air, scouts and members of the coast patrol they could fill important missions." MADE WAR ON CATERPILLARS. Reported Casualties In Philadelphia Campaign Were 78,939. Philadelphia.—Complete reports from the war of the school garden children conducted for the extermination of caterpillars have been prepared by Miss Caro Miller, directing the school gardens, and show a grand total of 78,939 caterpillars, cocoons and egg masses annihilated. It was explained that each egg mass contained 500 potential caterpillars, so that millions of caterpillars were exterminated in the egg-stage by the children's campaign. The purpose of the school garden director is to take the champion caterpillar exterminators to visit the mayor to receive his official recognition of their public service. A girl made the best record, killing 11,336 caterpillars. WORRY KILLS ENGINEER. Cries of Wrecked Passengers Haunted Man Freed of Blame. Toledo, O.-Dennels W. Leonard, engineer on the Twentieth Century limited train, which was wrecked at Amherst, O., March 29 last, was found dead in bed at his home recently. Heart disease, superinduced by worry over the wreck, is given by physicians as the cause of death. He was ailosed from blame in the catastrophe, but had been unable to keep out of his mind the sight of the wreckage and the cries of the mangled passengers. Leonard was fifty-two years old and had been with the New York Central thirty-five years. WOMEN "ROOKIES" BAR MEN. Masculines. Can't Watch Fair "So- lutions". Drill at Live: Genova Camp. direc. Drill at Lake Geneva College. Lake Geneva, Wis.-Men henceforth are to be barred from the national service school camp of the women's division of the Navy League of the United States--that is, all except instructors, unless they have passes properly signed and countersigned. This was the edict of Major General Commanding F. D. Countis to protect the 150 fair "rookies" from annoyance in the future. Among the new rules is one which prohibits the girls from wearing their hair down their backs. PUTS CASH IN HIS SHOE AND FOOLS FOOTPADS Bayonne (N. J.) Man Takes Beating, but Saves His Money. Bayonne, N. J.-James McLaughlin was returning to his home in this city when he noticed three men following him. He had a roll of bills in his pocket and believed the trio meant to hold him up when he got to a lonely spot. McLaughlin stepped into a hallway, took off, one of his shoes, placed the money in it and put it back on his foot. Then he continued on his trip home. When he got to a lonely spot; at Avenue C and West Eleventh street, the three men pounced on him. While two of them held him tightly the other went through his pockets, but found no money. 'A half hour later McLaughlin was found in the gutter, cut and heaten. "They beat me up all right," McLaughlin said at the police station, "but I fooled them on the money question." FOUR BROTHERS AND FOUR SISTERS WED FOUR BROTHERS AND FOUR SISTERS WED Milwaukee, Wis.—Four. Wisconsin brothers in the past six months have married four sisters. The latest of the weddings was that at. Waukegan, when the last of the boys in the Blum family married the last of the sisters in the Rausch family, both the Rausch and the Blum families being Campbellport and Hartford, Wis., respectively. In the form in which the weddings were recorded the names of the parties are as follows: Paul Blum, now of Marshfield, and Marte Rausch. John Blum of Marshfield and Anna Rausch. Peter Blum, Jr., of Marshfield and Catherine Rausch. Jacob Blum of Hartford and Lily Rausch. The Blum family was formerly of Hartford, and Campbell'sport is the next village. The first romance was that of a country school. The first marriage was preceded by romances involving all four brothers, and the weddings came one after another in rapid succession. HAVE 150 DESCENDANTS. Berea (Ky.) Couple Are Alive and Well and Over Seventy. Berea, Ky.-Berea college, which annually trains about 1,600 young men of the southern mountain section, boasts of doing its work among the most prolific people within the borders of the country. In support of this assertion, Mrs. James Barrett, a mountain neighbor of Berea college, has furnished the authorities with data relative to her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Davidson. This couple are now enjoying good health in their seventies and have immediate descendants to the number of 150. Mr. and Mrs. Davidson have eleven children, 100 grandchildren and thirty-two grecht grandchildren. It is said that the family is known as peace lovers, none having ever been in court other than as witnesses. AUTO JOLTS HIS LEG OFF. One Woman Falnts, but Revives to Learn It is Cork. Pittsburgh.—Several hundred persons stood agast when a leg, well stockinged and shod, fell from an automobile that sped by the Pennsylvania railroad depot. A woman falnted and was revived in time to see the auto returning. "Has any one seen a leg around here?" asked an elderly man, leaning out of the car. "Ah, thanks," he added gratefully as a man who had been bold enough to pick up the leg handed it to him. "A jolt knocked off my cork leg. Thanks again. If you ever lose a leg in my town let me know if I can be of any service to you." Putting his leg under his arm, the elderly man in the car presented a card, "A. J. Limper, 100 Allison street, Harrisburg, Pa." RABBIT'S EYE FOR GIRL Surgeone Will Operate Upon a Little Eskimo Lase. Portland, Ore—New York's best surgeons will endeavor to restore the sight of Melba, a seven-year-old Eskimo girl, who was found deserted in an igloo by Dr. L. H. French, United States government physician in Alaska. The cornea of a rabbit will be grafted upon one affected eye and a cataract removed from the other. In charge of Mrs. Corinne Call, a government teacher, the child arrived in Portland recently, Mrs. Call says the Eskimos left Melba in the ice hut, hoping she would die. She has been totally blind for five years. The trouble is diagnosed as an eruption of the cornea. Topeka, Kan. — Two hundred and eighty-one women in Kansas are running for office.

PAUL'S SORROWES AND JOYS 2 Corinthians 11:21-31 - Sept. 5. St. Paul the Hero—His Loyalty, Faithfulness, Endurance—He Suffered For Christ's Sake—and For the Brethren's Sake in That He Delighted to Carry the Message of God's Grace. Why the Enumeration of His Sufferings—Surely a Chosen Vessel. "My grace is sufficient for thee; for my power is made perfect in weakness."—2 Cor. 12:9. IIAT a wonderful man was St. Paul. Doubless the secret of his brilliancy lay in the fact that he so fully gave himself up to God that the Lord could use him as an Apostle, as a mouthpiece, as a servant, to a greater extent than He ever used any other man, perhaps. In this we are not implying that St. Paul was greater than his Master; but his Master had only three and one-half years of service, while St. Paul had a long ministry. Besides, it was impossible for the Master to go into the details of the Divine Plan; for even the Apostles were natural men, who did not receive the begetting of the Holy Spirit, until Pentecost. Hence we read that Jesus' teachings were chiefly in parables and dark sayings.—Matthew. 13:10-17; John 16:12, 13. There were no such limitations upon the Apostles. Their epistles were addressed to God's saints in various quarters, to whom they wrote freely upon every feature of the Divine Plan of salvation. Some of their writings were along lines suitable for "babes in Christ," and others were "strong meat"—the deeper things of the Divine Plan. But they wrote only to the spirit-begotten, not to the worldly—Hebrews 5:12, 13; 1 Peter 2:13. St. Paul's Sufferings For Christ: It is not strange that the Adversary was able to stir up some little sectarianism even in the primitive Church. (1 Corinthians 1:11-13.) But all such partisan sentiment the Apostle rebuked, reminding that Christ alone had died for them, and that they should take none other name than that of the Master. This same spirit manifested itself otherwise, too. The Apostles needed to St. Paul Weary and partisan sentiment the Apostle rebuked, reminding that Christ alone had died for them, and that they should take none other name than that of the Master. This same spirit manifested itself otherwise, too. The Apostles needed to grow in grace and watching. knowledge, as well as did the reminder of the Household of Faith; and although they had special blessings of the Lord, they did not all have the same length of vision at the same time. St. Paul, the most learned one of The Twelve—taking the place of Judas—had naturally the best opportunity for breadth of thought. True, as Saul of Tarsus, he showed himself to be very narrow and bigoted in his warfare against Christ and His followers. But after his eyes of understanding had been opened and he became a spirit-begotten New Creature, St. Paul manifested a wonderful insight into the things Divine. He* had visions and revelations more than had all the other Apostles together. All this was in harmony with what the Lord had said respecting him. (Acts 9:15, 16) St. Paul had education and a wonderful breadth of mind. All of God's spirit begotten children are surely amazed at the logic, the wisdom and the power of the Apostle's writings. We know of nothing else that will compare with those. Pushed to the front as the Lord's mouthpiece to the Gentiles, St. Paul's mind grasped more quickly than did those of the other Apostles the things pertaining to the New Dispensation; and he saw that the Gentiles were to be fellow-heirs with the Jews in the Kingdom privileges. Naturally, some thought that he was going too far; and the argument was raised that he was not to be ranked as an Apostle, etc. He had labored hard with the Corinthian Church; and to have them fall to progress because they thought him an incompetent teacher seemed to him to be a pity. Hence in our lesson he is doing what he styles "foolish boasting." He did not approve of boasting; and yet, for the sake of his hearers, he would inform them along certain lines The Secret of His Success. But the Apostle did not boast about himself-about his talents, his oratory. etc. Rather he would tell them what God's providence had permitted him to suffer for the Truth's sake — scourging, whipping with rods, imprisonment, perils of the deep perils from false brethren, perils from the heathen. These things he had endured joyfully, gladly, for it would tell them what God's providence had permitted him to suffer for the Truth's sake — scourging, whipping with rods, imprisonment, perils of the deep, perils from false brethren, perils from the heathen. These things he had endured joyfully, gladly, for to him they were marks of Divine love and favor, and bore witness to his love for the Lord and His righteousness, as well as to his willingness to suffer for the Lord's sake. Thus seen, this lesson is a very valuable portion of God's Word. It gives us information which we find in no other, quarter. It crisply sets before us a picture of a soldier of the Cross and what he endured. The secret of his endurance of so great privations is presented in our Golden Text. The Lord's grace was sufficient for him. THE PURCHASE OF CHURCH AND WORLD Progressive Steps In the Divine Plan. Philosophy of the Ransom—Church First Bought—Purchase-Price Not Yet Applied For the World—Why Jesus Prayed Only For the Church. Later He Will Pray For the World. "Ask of Me, and I Will Give Thee the Heathen For Thine Inheritance." Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 27. — Pastor Russell addressed the I. B. S. A. Convention here today. His discourse, which was both interesting and logical, was based upon the text, "Ye are not your own, for ye are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in PASTOR RUSSELL Nashville, Tennessee. Aug. 27.—Pastor Russell addressed the I. B. S. A. Convention here today. His discourse, which was both interesting and logical, was based upon the text, "Ye are not your own, for ye are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body."—1 Corinthians 6:19, 20. The Pastor's address was a masterly presentation of the philosophy of the Divine Plan for human salvation. He set forth clearly the Scriptural explanation of the world's present condition —that for the past six thousand years God has left mankind go their own way, in order that through bitter experience they may learn the important lesson that "the wages of sin is death." Then he showed that God has lovingly provided a recovery for our race through a ransom process—purchasing book mankind from the fall. Divine economy would not permit more than one member of the human race to be tried and sentenced to death; for God's Purpose from the beginning was that the sacrifice of one life should redeem all mankind. At Calvary our Lord gave the price sufficient to redeem Adam and all his posterity. For nearly nineteen centuries that Ransom-price has been in the hands of Divine Justice, unapplied as respects the world, and only imputed to the Church called from the world during this Gospel Age. When the Church has been glorified, the work with the world will begin.—I Corinthians 15:21-23. The speaker dwelt upon the importance of the will as the basis of strong character. Whoever lacks independence of mind and will is correspondingly weak and unstable. But while we should maintain this independence with respect to one another, we should never forget that we owe full allegiance to our Creator. All of God's creatures should, fully recognize His dominion and control. The failure to grasp this principle was the means of the bringing of sin and death into our world. God created Father Adam with the power of self-control, and gave him a knowledge of his responsibility to his Creator. But Adam was misled by yielding to his wife, who had herself been misled by Satan. Then God refused to recognize the one who was unwilling to obey his Creator. When Adam ceded to worship God in spirit and in truth, God practically said to him, "Go your own way, and see where it will lead you." The entire race have followed his example.—Romans 1:18-82. Redoomed by the Blood of Christ. The remainder of the discourse dealt with the philosophy of the Ransom. Man's experience with, sin, and death is a lesson to both men and angels. When the reign of Sin and Death is ended on earth, sin will never again be permitted to exist anywhere. Hence God placed upon mankind the extreme penalty of Divine Law—death. It would mean eternal destruction, had not God provided, for Adam's redemption, which includes that of his posterity—Romans 5:12, 19. Because all mankind were involved in Adam's penalty, it was necessary to find an outsider to be the world's Redeemer. Hence our Lord Jesus became a perfect man, with an unborn race in His joins. This human Life He gave as an exact equivalent for Adam and the race unborn when he fell from Divine favor. But the work of ransoming Adam and his race includes their recovery from the power of sin and death.—Hosea 13:14. Manifestly this work has scarcely begun. For nearly nineteen centuries that Ransom-price given at Calvary has been in the hands of Divine Justice, unapplied as respects the world, and merely imputed to the Church. Our Lord has not yet appeared before the Mercy Seat for the world. Of man's present condition the Bible declares, "The whole world leth in the Evil One." (I John 5:10, R. V.). Just before His crucifixion our Lord said, "I pray not for the world, but for them which Thou has given Me" (John 17:0). The very next day He "tasted death for every man" (Hebrews 2:0). He prayed in harmony with the Father's arrangement: After the glorification of the Church, the time will come for Christ to pray for the world. Looking forward prophetically to that time, the Psalmist quotes Jehovah as saying to our Lord Jesus, "Ask of Me, and I will give Thee the heathen for Thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for Thy possession" (Psalm 29).
