NO. 35 COLORED OFEICERS COLORED OFFICERS FOR THE COLORED "REGULARS" Dr. Shepard Wants Colored Commanders for the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry and the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Infantry. Dr. James E. Shepard, the progressive president of the National Training School at Durham, N. C., in a recent speech in New York City, declared emphatically in favor of the officering of the four famous colored regiments, of the Regular Army of the United States—the 9th and 10th Calvary and the 24th and 25th Infantry—with a full corps of commanders of their own blood and kindred, "from top to bottom, from colonel to corporal." He is of the opinion that the fine officer material developed in combat overseas would fill the bill admirably in providing capable commanders for these four "crack" military units, and that steps should be taken at once to lay the matter, before the authorities of the War Department for consideration at an early date. RALPH W. TYLER IN DEMAND. Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 27. On his return home here, Ralph W. Tyler, the war correspondent, found many requests from various cities, asking him to come and deliver addresses on the part our colored soldiers played at the front in France. Indianapolis has asked him to deliver two addresses there on the 16th and 17th of February, and he has agreed so to do. Churches and civic and fraternal organizations have written him for dates. SECRETARY-LANE SPEAKS AT HAMPTON. Hampton, Va., Jan. 27.—Secretary Franklin K. Lane was the Founder's Day speaker at Hampton Institute on Sunday, January 26th. Principal James E. Gregg introduced him as "a high-minded servant of the people—a man who has shown forward-looking care for the welfare and happiness of all the people." Secretary Lane said: "General Armstrong needs no monument other than Hampton Institute, born out of the spirit of helpfulness, charity, tolerance, faith—a spirit that represents the new day and not the day that is past. "I doubt if there is a single man who has lived in this country who has more certainly pointed the way to the character of education that will obtain in the United States in the future than General Armstrong. He foresaw the thing that was needed for the making of a democracy, and he put into this institution a theory of education, a philosophy reaching far further than the colored man, which will be a standard for us throughout the United States. The best of his philosophy was that men and women must work. If you want civilized men, they must be working men. If you want men of culture—and not a superficial culture—the must be men who have woven into their natures the power to do." Secretary Lane paid a warm tribute to the splendid work of nearly 400,000 colored soldiers, of whose record, he declared, men from any part of the world might well feel proud. Addressing the great Hampton audience, he said: "And you are to have a part in the making of this new America—in exploiting the possibilities of it. No race, no people, can with assurance say that they express the last word of civilization." "The foundation of our country is tolerance, fair play, the square deal. We want to see here man, as man, given his chance. There may be differences between men, and we know there are—physical, mental, moral; but they are all men and all are to have their chance, and we all are to join in the making of America." The Hampton choir, and later the entire Hampton School, sang to Secretary Lane and other Founder's Day guests a number of the "old spirituals," including "I Want to Be Ready." "I Am Rolling Through This Unfriendly World," "We Are Climbing Jacob's Ladder." "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," and "My Lord, What a Morning." CLARK'S, TRAINING SCHOOL. There is no educator in this city any more deserving of the highest commendation than Mrs. Addie R Clark, the directress and president of Clark's National Training School, situated at 1600 Twelfth Street N. W., in this city. No person has made greater sacrifices and been more persistent in their efforts to serve humanity than Madame Clark. She has been a benefactor to the lowly and needy. She has supported her school almost alone. She has educated young girls in the art of sewing, and today hundreds of them are practical dressmakers. She has graduated fully five hundred young girls in dressmaking, who are scattered throughout the country, and who are doing good work. Some few years ago Madame Clarke established a small school for girls, but today she is the directress of one of the largest, if not the largest, sewing schools for girls that can be found in the United States. The building in which she conducts her work is a commanding structure at the northwest corner of 13th and R Streets N. W. Elsewhere in The Bee this week is a picture of her new school, which is being so successfully conducted. She is one lady who deserves the highest commendation of the people. She has struggled to benefit young girls, and has succeeded. She is a benefactress in this community, and if she continues as she has started the Clark National Training School will keep busy all idle females. Not only does she, teach young girls the are of dressmaking, but she secures employment for every young girl graduate of her school. Five hundred or more, have graduated, and every one has secured a position. This is a record of which any community or race should feel proud. Go and consult Madame Clark. Go today. Don't hesitate. There is no reason for a girl to be idle. 1600 12th Street N. W. DR. W. H. JERNAGIN WILL GO TO FRANCE. The portsof of Dr. W. H. Jernagin, was issued to him by the State Department, last Wednesday. Dr Jernagin will sail on the Princess Julian from New York February 5. The American Committee for Relief in the Near East has opened headquarters at 1336 New York Avenue. Mr. Gregory Doyle of New York City is director, and Rev. A. C. Garner is assistant, and looks especially after the work among our churches, schools, lodges, etc. A few weeks ago the East Tennessee News of Knoxville. Tenn' complained that the colored people had been snubbed by the local chairman of the committee for relief work. We are glad to say that the director of the work here has from the moment he got to the city sought all peoples and asked them to share in feeding the hungry people of the Near East. So far his dealings have been fair enough to command the respect of even the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. NEWS ITEMS The Rey. Dr. Oscar L. Mitchell of St. Mary's Chapel held an informal reception for Rev. Dr. Cassell. President of Liberia College. West Africa. Light luncheon and smoking were the refreshment features, but the feast of reason and the flow of soul were exceedingly bracing. Dr. Cassell himself is a modest luminary. Some of those present were: Prof. Alain Locke; Assistant Superintendent R. C. Bruce, Principal Garnet C. Wilkinson, Judge Robert H. Terrell. Messrs. John Bruce, A. O. Stafford, Rev. Drs. A. C. Garner, W. V. Tunnell, T. J. Brown, F. I. A. Bennett, Misses Nellie Brown and Nellie Jackson served refreshments. Plymouth Church has a big pro Plymouth Church has a big pro- gram leading up to Easter. Dr. Durkee of Howard, Rev. Mr. Sheafe and Messrs. Wells and Mr. H. K. Craft, of the Father and Son Movement, have already spoken. The pastor aims to clear the church of a $5,000 debt by Easter. COLUMBIA CONSERVATORY'S MONTHLY RECITAL. The second monthly class exercise in the new year of the Columbia Conservatory of Music, Wellington A. Adams, director, 1911 Ninth Street N. W., was held at the studio last Friday evening, January 24th, with a goodly number of pupils present. Honors for the evening were contested spiritedly, with the following winners: Honors for technical points in piano playing were awarded jointly to Miss Norrine Yolanda Waters of Dunbar High School (last month's winner) and Miss Sarah Allen. Honorary mention, little Miss Mary Brown. Honors in memorizing were awarded to Miss Emma Barber. Honors for most hours' monthly practice in piano (31 hours) awarded to Miss Charlotte Allen, last month's winner. Special mention, Miss Mary Brown (25 hours). Highest average in piano study last month, awarded Miss Mary Brown (80 per cent). Special mention in violin playing: Miss Bertha Rose; of Alexandria, Va.; Miss Nannie Flecks, and Mr. Robert Valentine. Remarks were made by Mrs. W. M. Lewis, wife of the singing evangelist; Miss Manor Walters, and Mrs. Bertha Carpenter, encouraging the pupils in their work. Class colors, blue and white, were adopted by vote of the pupils. BURN MORTGAGE. The regulars at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church are all smiles now, for it is no small achievement to lift and burn a $14,000 mortgage all in eight months. Supt. A. F. Reed is congratulating himself on the showing of the Sunday School. They reported $622.50 out of a total of more than $16,000. But Mr. Reed is not a bit narrow; he insists the credit should all go to Mrs. Lucy Brent and her co-workers, Misses Cynthia Black, Olzene Mitchell and Hadassah Ease. Mrs. Brent deserves it, too, for did she not take the children and, almost unaided, raise more than $200 of the amount? However, all of the workers are to be congratulated, and the executive genius of the whole movement, Dr. C. M. Tanner, cannot be lauded too highly. Metropolitan has always played an important part in the spiritual, social and uplift work of Washington, and now she is in a better position to do service than ever before. "OVER THE TOP." Ebenezer M. E. Church, Fourth and D Streets S. E., Rev. W. H. Dean pastor, went over the top in raising the last dollar of her assessment of $1,000 for Morgan College, at Baltimore, Md. The official board adopted the duplex envelope January 13th. Canvassers are out getting the weekly pledges of members and friends. All the members are charmed over the new financial plan. Dr. Sarah Brown gave her hygienic lecture, ordered by the United States Government, to more than 800 women on Monday last. Mrs. M. E. Griffin presided. The church will celebrate its 80th anniversary March 7th to 17th, and burning of $6,300 mortgage. The pastor is closing his seventh year's work. Sunday is Coal Club anniversary day. Mrs. Emily Gilbert is the president. At 11 a. m., sermon by Rev. Volley K. Stokes, B. D. At 3 p. m., sermon by P. C. Butler. EARLY CANDIDATES. Among the early candidates who will enter the political field as candidates for delegates to the next National Republican Convention will be Aaron Pretean, of South Carolina, now making his home in this city. Dr. Edward D. Williston, formerly of North Carolina, the defeated candidate for delegate in 1916. Editor J. Finley Wilson, formerly of Newport News, Va., now editing a paper in this city. Many others will announce their candidacy later on. THEY HONORED HIM. Assistant Director W. A. Bailey Is Remembered. There is a section in the War Risk Bureau, under the supervision of Mr. William A. Bailey, which was established by Mr. Harned, in whom the colored young ladies have the most implicit confidence. Mr. Harned is a man who believes in giving an opportunity to the colored help under him to make good. He appointed at the head of the colored section a Washington boy who went to Oklahoma some years ago and made good in the practice of the law. While at the head of the colored section he made himself a valuable factor and won the respect and confidence of his chief. Mr. Bailey, by industry and perseverance, brought this section up to a standard of perfection. A few weeks ago Mr. Harned assumed charge of another department, and so pleased was he with the services of Mr. Bailey that he had him transferred with him. Just before he left the young ladies in the Bureau, as a token of their respect and appreciation, made Mr. Bailey a present of a handsome gold opal ring. Mr. Bailey, in his new position, is making good. The Bee as well as those in the Bureau regret the transfer of both Mr. Harned and Mr. Bailey. The former knows no person by the color of his skin and for that reason he has the highest respect, and confidence of the Bureau in which so many young colored ladies are employed. The Bee hopes that the new chief will treat the colored heir as well as the former chief. NURSES' TRAINING HOSPITAL Topeka, Kan., Jan. 27.—"Opportunities for the youth of Kansas" is a plea being made by Prof. George R. Bridgeforth, principal of the Industrial and Educational Institute of Kansas, located here, and in response the trustees of the institution have decided to put within the reach of the young women of the races nurse training by the erection of a hospital on the campus, of the school. It will be in honor of the colored women of the State. Within a few days contract will be let for the building and by next fall it is hoped that the building will be completed. "It is our intention to make it one of the best in the country," said Prof. Bridgeforth. "for we want to turn out only efficient worthy nurses." During the influenza epidemic in the city a few months ago the need of nurses and the work of the colored women was realized, and when it was mentioned that we wanted a hospital where our girls could be trained in nursing it at once had the approval of Governor Arthur Capper, who is now United States Senator, and Hon. S. J. Crumbine, secretary of the State Board of Health. The Governor, among other things, said: "I am glad that the Board of Trustees have decided to erect a hospital for the training of colored nurses on the grounds of the Topeka Industrial and Educational Institute, and that this institution is to be dedicated to the colored women of Kansas. I hereby approve of the idea. It seems to me the plan will appeal to all the good people of our State. "I am very proud of the record that has been made by your school. It is one of the most meritorious institutions in Kansas, and I wish you to know that I will do everything in my power to help and encourage you in the fine work you are doing." Prof. Bridgeforth was selected to succeed Dr. Carter last fall. He is one of the most noted educators in the country. He worked with the late William H. Councill at the State A. & M. College, Normal, Ala., and from there he went to Tuskégee Institute, with the late Booker T. Washington, where he remained over twelve years in charge of the Agricultural Department of the school, resigning only to come to Kansas, where he is to do his life's work. This is truly the Western Tuskegee, and great good is being accomplished for the whole race. Dean L. B. Moore, Ph. D., of Howard University, Washington, D. C., has been granted a leave of absence for three months at the urgent request of prominent educational agencies in the North for the purpose of making a tour through the Southern States and assisting in mapping out a comprehensive program for the educational reconstruction of the South. Dean Moore is the founder and the head of the College of Education at Howard University, and is everywhere recognized as an educational expert. He is a safe representative of the university and the race, because, both by precept and example, he is an exponent of the highest and best education for black and white alike. His advice will be sound and for the best interests of the race. Howard University will extend her influence far beyond the present limits by the contribution of Dean Moore's valuable services to this larger work of national welfare and uplift. TRUSTEES OF JEANES FOUNDATION MEET. New York City.—The annual meeting of the board of trastees of the Anna T. Jeanes Foundation of One Million Dollars met in New York City at the offices of the General Education Board, 61 Broadway, New York City, January 25, 1919. The annual meeting of the board of trustees was preceded by a meeting of the executive committee. Present at the meeting were Dr. James H. Dillard, president, Charlottesville, Va.; John T. Eulen, secretary, Philadelphia, Pa.; Dr. Wm. P. Few, president of Trinity College, Durham, N. C.; Dr. Samuel C. Mitchell, president of Delaware College for Women, Newark, Del; Hon. J. C. Napier, Nashville, Tenn.; Mr. George Foster Peabody, New York City; Emmett J. Scott, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama; Dr. Talcott Williams, director Pulitzer School of Journalism, Columbia University, New York City. Other members of the board are Chancellor David C. Barrow, Athens, Ga.; Theo. D. Bratton, Jackson, Miss.; Andrew Carnegie, New York City; Hon. Wm. Howard Taft, New Haven, Conn., and R. L. Smith, Waco, Texas. Two members of the board have died since the last meeting—Hon. Walter H. Page, formerly American Asbassador to Great Britain, and Dr. H. T. Kealing, president Western University, Kansas. Committees were appointed to draft expressions of regret to be spread upon the minutes of the Board of Trustees. President Dr. James Gregg, newly elected principal of Hampton Institute, and Bishop George W. Clinton, of the A. M. E. Zion Church, were elected to fill the two vacancies. A number of important members of the Jeanes Foundation were unable to attend the meeting on account of illness or previous engagements, including Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, who has been elected chairman of the executive committee, and who has just returned to the United States after a visit to England and France at the request of President Wilson and Secretary Baker of the War Department. Dr. Dillard submitted his annual report of the work done during the past year, which states that 217 supervisory teachers have been employed in 216 counties of 12 States. While the Jeanes Fund board appropriated $40,657.25 for rural education among Negroes, there was secured from public funds for the same purpose a total of $44,591.83, making a total of $85,249.08. Appropriations have been made for next year's work to the amount of nearly $60,000 for the work of the Jeanes Fund FoundaSIXTEEN—Bee tion, including the expenses of conferences of Jeanes Fund workers. The Senate has a bill to reform the military laws of the United States, which are extreme and unusual and too severe. Congressional Library A NATION'S STRENGTH IS IN ITS FOOD SUPP Eat Less — Waste nothing Create a Reserve AMERICA MUST FEED 120,000,000 ALLIES BACK FROM FRONT WAR CORRESPONDENT TYLER BACK FROM THE FRONT. Ralph W. Tyler, the accredited war correspondent sent "over there" by the committee on public information to report the activities of the colored troops, arrived in town Monday morning, fresh from New York City, where he had landed the day before on a Government transport from France. Mr. Tyler (why not give him a military title as a recognition of his valiant services?) is looking none the worse, for wear, despite his strenuous life of the past four months, and his hair is iron gray, not white, as stated in a report from the front. He is full of interesting information, and his friends are anxious to have him take the lecture platform for a period to enable the country to hear at first hand the "inside dope" on the fine work of our boys on the sacred soil of France. Mr. Tyler paid his respects to the War Department, visiting the office of Emmett J. Scott, shook hands with a few intimate friends there, and then hied himself away to his home in Columbus, Ohio, where he is now spending some time, with his family. Before deciding upon his operations for the future, Mr. Tyler plans to take a much-needed rest. Although he says he enjoyed his big experiences at the battle front and was made dizzy by the sights of "Gay Parlee," Mr. Tyler says he would not go through the same again for any amount of money, and that from now on the "old U. S. A." is good enough for him. He never expects to again view the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor, except from the back of her head. THEY WANT "THE BEE." Washington Boys in France Want to Read the News. Editor of The Bee: I am a native of Washington, D.C. I am in active service in the Army Corps, as a musician of the first band, which is making such rapid progress that the whole of France is taking notice. Our band is just five and a half months old, and we are competing with such bands as the Fourth Wisconsin, the Seventeenth Engineers, the Seventy-fifth Artillery; also the French bands. The First Band, Army S. C., was made up of the famous 301st Steedore Regiment. I have been a native of Washington, D. C., for thirty years. My name is Curtis Bridges. I was dancing master for the Majestic Dancing Class for six years. We also have with us three other Washington boys—Corporal Henry Byrd, playing the tuba; Musician Augustus Perkins, playing solo alto, and Musician Eugene Ashton, heating cymbals. We will tour the eastern and western parts of France and return to the States in June. Send us a copy of The Bee, please. We want to read the news from home. Drum Major Curtis Bridges. First Band.

The World Has Gone Mad—Zion Bishops Increase Salaries—Mr. J. C. Cunningham's Caustic Letter Has the world gone mad on money? money? Yes, it looks very much that way. Ex-Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo threw up a twelve thousand dollar a year job, claiming that that great sum of money was too small an amount to make ends meet for a very small family. Later the Attorney General steps down for the same reason. And now here comes the bishops of the A. M. E. Zion Church, who have recommended an increase of their already too high salary. These bishops are being paid $2,500 a year each for their salaries. Of course, $500 of this amount is to pay for their railroad fare, i.e., for their traveling expenses. Do these bishops invariably spend all of $500 for traveling expenses? We have yet to learn of any one of them returning any of that amount as excess expenses. But we judge not. For, at the recent bishops' council they recommended that their salaries be increased from $2,500 to $3,009 a year. And, notwithstanding that high amount, they demand for preaching (although they claim to have been called of God to preach His Word) an extra collection must be lifted at every church they visit, as a gift to the bishop! Again, I ask, is the world gone mad on money? It looks that way. But how are the bishops to get this money? Answer: They can only get it by taxing the poor members of the A. M. E. Zion Church to a point beyond endurance. And this they have almost already done. Ah, the people of this day and age are thirsting for the water of life. They are hungering for the true Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. For, truly, the world has "gone mad on the money question." Very few of the preachers of today are interested in the saving of souls. Very few of them, it seems, are called of the Holy Spirit. They take up preaching as an easy way to make money. In the hot summer days they may be seen on their front porches or under shade trees, bathing in the cool of the day, while the poor members are fainting in the hot sun, striving to earn their small salaries in order to meet the burdensome taxes placed upon them by the Rev. Dr. Jones. In the winter Dr. Jones may be found drawn up by a red-hot stove, like a bow cat, while the members of his church must face the cold winds and beating rains in order to keep Dr. Jones from bawling them out in the open church for not denying themselves and their little ones in order to support him and his. The bishops in all of the Negro Methodist Churches are being well paid; and the members should balk at a higher tax to support them. These "heaven bound parasites" claim that they cannot live on their thousands of dollars a year. Then, how on earth do they suppose others can live and support their wives and children at less than a third of what they get? Did the members of these great Methodist denominations ever give this a thought? Already some of the preachers—those who always try to "stand in" with the bishops—are clamoring for a higher salary for "our bishops." They do it with the hope of being sent to big churches, even where they are not wanted, and are wholly incapable of filling the places. I do not wish it understood that I am striking at any particular minister in the A. M. E. Zion Church, for I am not. For most of Zion's best ministers are seldom, if ever, seen in print. I am after the money-grabbers who would impose upon the poor members of the church in order to curry favor with the bishops. The bishops are advising the members to lay up treasures in heaven, while they (the bishops) pile up treasures here on earth for themselves and for their families. The bishops (and most all preachers, for that matter) are in the preaching business for what they can get out of it. And when they appear before the bar of God I very much fear they are going to hear the sad voice saying, "I know you not." The bishops' recommendation for an increase of their salaries is like the Southern Democrat nomination, which is equivalent to election. They will get it, and then will come a higher tax on the members of the entire church. Two thousand and five hundred dollars is enough for any of the bishops. For, in addition to this big salary, a collection is lifted for them at every church they visit and for every sermon they preach. And, again we ask, Is the world gone mad on the money question? These Negro bishops, like Ruth, are gleaning, the world for the last sheaf of greenbacks, gold and silver. And the delegates to the General Conference in The Management of the Pythian Building (formerly True Reformers' Buflding) invites the attention of the public to inspect the balls set apart for dances, for private parties; the main auditorium for public or large affairs, all of which are highly sanitary and well ventilated.

If these Negro bishops are not very rich, it is because they are spendthrifts; for they sure do take in barrels of money. Another thing about this great denomination is that few of the A. M. E. Zion great and worthy ministers ever reach the episcopacy. There is as much dirt and intrigue carried on at these latter day general conferences as can be done (to the shame of the church) at any of the great political conventions. Money—a thing that cannot be truthfully denied—has been spent lavishly in order to land the much coveted episcopal job. Delegates to the General Conference of 1920, these things ought not to be! Then, too, all bishops should be elected quadrennially, instead of a life tenure in office, as is the present rule. There needs to be a great religious revival here in this country, and the preachers should be first, as a sort of head mourners, at the mourners' bench. These "Gospel hucksters" need to be preached to as well as anybody else. For they themselves are in the dark and are stumbling ev- ery step they make. Heaven knows, I haven't one iota of hate against any preacher. I take off my hat to any preacher of good report. Many of our preachers talk well, but they walk, so bad! May God help 'em to wake up and keep step, keep step, in the path of righteousness. J. C. Cunningham. DR. T. THEO.

There are so many so-cained hairgrowers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinade, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally cocoanut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each.

WOOD, Proprietor The wonderful Osman foretold the time when the greatest war would take place and the right time when it would stop. He is now foretelling serious troubles for this year, such as earthquakes, crimes, pestilence, international troubles, strikes, great fires, tornadoes, the death of several high officials, business and labor troubles and many unlooked-for conditions, which will take place not only in this country, but in many parts of the world. There will be rumors of war again, and the entire year is critical, so, as you will see, our prayers are yet needed. Let us all pray for a general improvement in the affairs of the people and the world at large. August 23, 1900.—Your desires and ambitions will be carried out, no mat- SUN MARS JUPITER VENUS MERCURY EARTH MARS JUPITER VENUS MERCURY EARTH NEPTUNE GATUR URAKUSO MARS JUPITER VENUS MERCURY EARTH ter how much trouble or time it requires. You have a great and successful life ahead of you. The mysterious appeals to you and you would make a good medium by proper education and training. You will overcome your weakness and bad habits and hesitation. You are nervous and restless and you want to go ahead quickly, but, there is a hollow-back. You are good at heart and grateful for favors rendered you, and you in turn are good to those, you feel you can trust. Your heart is running over with true love and you should study those that harmonize with yours or else you will have disappointments in love and in marriage. Do not be hasty in making a promise to a girl. First find out if she is your equal. Test her, then place your whole heart in her hands and unite in marriage for love and happiness. The first six months are not so eventful, but after your birthday you have better conditions ahead of you, so prepare for greater and better things. October 9th (Man).—People who are fair and honest and know you intimately like you and think well of you, but you have a great many enemies. They are jealous of you and your family, and hate to hear anything good of you. Nevertheless, you are a mighty good man, whoever you are. You are courteous and anxious to render help and good service, and you will try to be of help to others and create peace and happiness. You like to think out a matter, and if you had a higher education you would have attained great heights. There is one trait that you should learn to govern if you hope to make money and attain success, and you are versatile and broad-minded, but only enthusiastic about a new idea, until a newer one comes along. You are thus apt to scatter your energies. You should learn to concentrate your efforts on one project until completed, and in this way you will be the winner in the end. January brings upsets. February is rather undecided. Others will annoy you and you have to guard against sickness and troubles; but be careful, or else you will be forced to make a bad change. March is not to be much good until after the 10th. Then there seems to be a lifting up influence and there is a better outlook. Be more decided and determined and bring the best to you. You are a worthy man. I see you are married and have a good wife. She loves you and appreciates you but she needs more encouragement from you, and have patience with her, as she seems to be one of our 1010 progressive, up-to-date women and she means for your good. This is not the best year of your life, so pray and concentrate for the evils to leave you and never return to you as you do not deserve them. March 11th.—You may be a woman, but you have the positive characteristics of a great man. You are reserved, at the same time positive when the occasion demands. You possess activity, energy, enterprise and practicability. You are fond of seeing the world, of traveling and original and independent ventures. You can hew out a path of your own. You are never lost. You may get depressed, but you get up again, and you are all right. You will rise to be at the head of some business. You can also be depended upon as a manager, as you are honest and trustworthy. People should not abuse you and order you about, as you will not stand much of it. Many changes are for you. You are restless, always striving to do better. You are fond of pleasure and social life. You make friends easily and readily form acquaintance with strangers. Strange and sad experiences in love and marriage is shown. Yours must have been an early unfortunate marriage with a man that was obstinate, jealous, suspicious, and it looks as if the marriage tie was broken. Your life was endangered through a sickness; perhaps operated upon; though you could have been cured by simple and harmless remedies. You have gone through some serious trials, but the future looks better for you. It seems the worst is over. From the last of February the year ahead of you is very important for you. I see a number of friends are striving for your love and smiles. You are really admired, loved and well thought of, and you should have no trouble to get along. There are some evils ahead of you, but on the whole you have a good year ahead of you. Someone in your family, is sick, but an improvement is indicated. You will live to make many happy, make many changes, and marry again and be well off. Be careful of certain women. You will know them when you see them. This is just a little test. I could write a book about your past and future, but this should satisfy you as a test. October 21, 1901.—You have a nature that is adaptable to more than one business or vocation. It may be musical, dramatic, professional, and it can also be commercial. You love pleasure, sport and to gain honors. You are clever and have a good head and are fond of advancement and progress. You are, very intellectual and should strive for a good education and do the thing you like the most, and you will make a lot of money and become very popular. Your talents will lead you in different paths of endeavor, but you will do well and be happy. Take care of your health and guard against deceiving friends. There is some unpleasantness for you also, some trouble to the family, but on a whole you will have a long and happy life. May 3, 1895.—You may consider yourself fortunate to be born under such good planetary influences. You are clever and industrious; fearless and determined, patient and practical. You must learn how to become a great success in life. There are some secrets that help to acquire great success that cannot be revealed in this column, therefore call at the store. It shows you are a great problem to many of your friends. You are so determined that you appear to your friends as obstinate; they say you love resentment and are given to perverseness. You are proud and given to anger. Do not be wedded to habits and prejudices. It is not easy for friends to convert or convince you, as you are determined and fixed. To strangers you are apt to give the impression you are difficult to know, yet the real fact is you are very affectionate, sincere and just, exercising great caution only because you want to be sure you are doing the right thing. If you acquire the great mental power as you have the character power, you will be able to use your mind to lift yourself out of the present condition and acquire the good your nativity indicates. February gives you a lot of energy, makes you feel you want to do a lot of things to better your life: The 14th and the 15th are very important days for you; make the most of them. Your life should be well directed, and it will be a very important one. Look after your health this year and avoid mistakes in other ways also, as the great planet Saturn is going to be your schoolmaster. He is a very hard planet and you will have some hard lessons to learn in the school of experience this year, unless you are very careful. May God protect and bless you this year and all the years of your life. September, 1893.—You should also state the date of the month, as the month alone is not enough. Senator Borah of Idaho warns Congress to open its eyes; that the situation that confronts the country is very grave. The Bee has known this all the time. This is another of the complex problems. * * * A community service mission was opened last Sunday at the Gorsuch M. R. Social Center, 4½ and L. S. W. * * * Jobless soldiers may remain in the Army until they secure positions. "Your hair looks beautiful." I am using Madame Sober's Scalp Prepara- --- THE WASHINGTON BEE Published by THE CHASE PUBLISHING COMPANY AT 1109 Eye Street N. W., Washington, D. C. The Bee, Franklin 5992 Chase's Law Office, Main 4078 IN HEAVEN'S NAME, WHAT NEXT? When four millions of our ancestors were wearing the shackles and gyves of slaves, hunted down by bloodhounds if they dared escape from brutality, and horribly beaten; when the women of our race were unwilling victims of slavemasters' bestial passion; when, like cattle in the open market space, we were bought and sold, they told us to pray—that God would answer prayer. We did pray—poured out our bleeding hearts in humble, beeeching prayers—stormed the very citidal of Heaven with our petitions. But oppression NEVER hesitated. When the Civil War broke out, and the country—North against South—was involved in a mighty, bloody internecine strife, and preservation of the Union" was trembling in the balance, they told us to throw ourselves into the breech and JUSTICE would be loyalty's compensation. We plunged into that awful maelstrom. We begged to be sent to the front—171,000 of our fathers did go to the front—and from the south bank of the Ohio to New Orleans left their dead to fertilize fields they once had hoed and sowed while they plaintively, hopefully, sang "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." But OPPRESSION continued, legalized slavery only gave way, and soon, to just as effective illegal slavery. Hope was dashed to earth. Might soon became right again. When they pointed to our high illiteracy rate as forming an impassable gulf between full citizenship, as conferred, and serfdom, they told us to get education. We burned the midnight oil; the dawn's early rays found its striving to learn "the three R's." We groped our way into the temples of art and science. We produced Langstons, Shepards, Washington, Paynes, Dunbars, Tanners, DuBois, Burleighs, Scotts and Millers, but still that promised oasis continued to be far away in the hazy distance; still a barren Sahara, over which swept the hot sand waves of oppression, was our allotted camping ground. When the dollar mark became the distinguishing sign, the possession of which gave prestige and precedence, they told us to accumulate money and lands—the vulgar substitute for manhood. We heard "the call of the wild" as it issued from monetarists and land-grabbers. We placed upon the tax duplicate, to our credit, millions of acres in States where before we owned not a farthing; we erected homes and buildings, established stores and banks and factories. We who had once sadly repeated "Cleon hath a million acres, not a penny I," did this. But all the vulgar dollars we piled up, and all the acres we placed upon the tax duplicate, NEVER wiped from the statute books SEGREGATION—never purchased us a single right and privilege denied. When the Spanish-American War, to avenge the Maine, took thousands of Americans into the jungles of Cuba and the Philippines, they told us to once more prove our loyalty as a guarantee to JUSTICE. We did it. We went, and loyally, and eagerly. We saved the Rough Riders at San Juan Hill; we left our many victims to yellow fever, the mauser bullet and the bolo knife in the swamps and jungles of the once Spanish-controlled islands, ONLY to return—such as survived—to find that Justice, for us, was still but a wil-o'-the-wisp; that we still were moths whom the candle's flame attracted but to burn. When our loved country entered this world war "to make the world safe for democracy," they told us to GIVE and FIGHT. From lakes to gulf, colored men and women became fired with patriotism. We gladly poured our "by-the-sweat-of-the-brow" earnings into the Government's treasury to help finance the war. Four hundred thousand of our men were called to the service; two hundred thousand of them were shipped to France to follow the flag, to free the oppressed in foreign lands, while their own kinsmen here were oppressed with discrimination. Our dead who sleep on the hills and in the valleys between where flows the shimmering Mossel and the picturesque Rhine, and our countless cripples for life, attest to the part we played in that titanic struggle. But those who have lived through that horrible, bloody clash of arms, who fought with incomparable valor, are returning only to find te sign "For Colored" is still the insulting reward their country offers them—only to find that "democracy," for them, is but "the coinage of an intellect." We have tread the wine-press, and alone; we have borne the brunt of the battle in the heat of the day; we have prayed, and saved, and fought, and died as we fought. Now, in Heaven's name, what next must we do to secure a man's chance in a country that boasts of the purest democracy? Our ears are to the ground to catch the first faint sound of approaching Justice. Our eyes are heavenward turned, to catch the first gleam indicating that "God still reigns." MAJOR MOTON'S MYSTERIOUS MISSION. The papers, daily and weekly, advise us that Major R. R. Moton, principal of the Tuskegee Institute, has returned from France, where he went in December last on a mission, the purpose of which has not been definitely disclosed, so far as we are informed. We do recall that, at the time of his departure for France, it was stated in the daily papers, apparently on official authority, that he had gone to France at the request of the President on a mission having relation to "the morale of the Negro soldiers." This statement, however, was so general, vague, indefinite and uninforming that it amounted to nothing more than saying that Major Moton had gone abroad on an errand whose object it was deemed inadvisable to disclose further than that it had to do with Negro soldiers in France. The fact that the term "morale" was used in this connection only served to deepen the mystery of his going, and to excite interest and curiosity with reference thereto. At the mention of the word "morale" speculation was at once aroused as to whether military discipline had broken down, or the Y. M. C. A. and the Red Cross had ceased to function, and, if so, what Major Moton could do where these agencies had failed. And then, in the absence of definite authentic information, the popular imagination began to exercise itself, and the inference was stated that, in some way, which could not be exactly worked out from the factors given, the Major's mission had relation to the Peace Conference. The Boston Herald of January 22 states that the Major reached Boston the day before, on the steamship Canada, and that he had been sent to France "by President Wilson and Secretary Baker on a special mission relative to disposition of Germany's colonies in Africa and matters generally affecting the Negro race." Here the word "generally" bobs up to obscure and mystify what would otherwise have a tendency toward clarity of statement. In the February Crisis, DuBois, writing from Paris, under date of December 14, 1918, says: "It seems that Moton is especially sent by the President and the Secretary of War to talk to colored troops before they embark and possibly to be consulted during the Peace Conference. I happened to butt in, and being the only one who knew any French, we have so far kept together." Here again what would otherwise be clear and understandable it made dark and mysterious by "it seems" and "possibly." In the New York Age of January 25, Lester A. Walton, who went to France and returned with Major Moton, speaks of the Major's having given "advice with reference to the disposition of Germany's African colonies and other matters affecting the darker races," of having been in consultation with Colonel House, and of having been invited to "remain and serve as an accredited representative of the United States Government." Then follows a lot of other matter calculated to fill space and to magnify the personality of the Major in the popular imagination. But the quotation which follows is really interesting, and deserving of reflection and study, as having more of the element of definite information in it than anything that has yet come under our notice. Walton says: "In his talks to the colored soldiers, Dr. Moton assured them of a warm welcome upon their return to the United States and told them that colored and white people would enthusiastically receive them in all sections. The men were advised to come back home as heroes should whether they be white or black—in a manly, yet modest and unassuming manner." He stressed the importance of the colored soldier properly deporting himself, declaring that his conduct would have much to do with the establishment of friendlier relations between the races at least south of the Mason and Dixon line." Now, if after reading those words once, you fail to catch their full meaning, read them again, and see if you do not begin to understand the meaning of the word "morale" as used in connection with Major Moton's mission to France. It now appears that the "morale" with which the Major was to deal was not an existent, but an expectant "morale"; not a "morale" in France today or yesterday, but a "morale" in the South, tomorrow, and the day after. Still further light is thrown on this dark subject by letters received by relatives and friends of soldiers in France, but which for obvious reasons cannot be quoted, in which the Major and his talks are referred to in terms indicating that the soldiers will hardly feel disposed to invite the Major to their reunions when they come marching home. The point of all evidence at hand is that Major Moton's mission to France was undertaken with the purpose of advising Negro soldiers to accept conditions as they existed in the South prior to the entrance of the United States into the European war. As an organ of opinion and of news, The Bee submits these facts to its readers for their earnest consideration. WILL DO OUR PART. Colored people are always generous. We are never too poor or too prejudiced to give to any worthy cause. The Belgians, the Loans, the War Work Campaign, the Red Cross, the French Orphans have all been helped by colored people as well as white. Now the starving people of the Near East claim the charity of the world. It is a human appeal caused by great suffering. It will be answered by the conscience and coin of all Americans. The colored people will do their part. Charity is sweet. FALLS CHURCH GLEANINGS. Mr. Garnet C. Wilkinson, principal of Dunbar High School of Washington, accompanied by Messrs. E. B. Henderson, J. B. Tinner and Rev. Powell, of Falls Church, journeyed over to Mt. Pleasant last Friday evening in the interest of the Falls Church Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. The meeting was staged under the direction of Mr. James Dean, of Barcroft, and Mr. Garnet Wilkinson was the speaker of the evening. Mr. Wilkinson spoke in his usually interesting manner of the great work of the N. A. A. C. P. He was followed by the visitors from Falls Church, and the result was that fourteen persons joined the association and several subscribed to the Crisis. A collection was taken with the idea that the speaker be reimbursed for his trip. Mr. Wilkinson requested that the money he spent for numbers of the Crisis magazine and that they be distributed among the people of Mt. Pleasant with the hope of securing subscribers. Douglass, of Washington, will tell of interesting things occurring during the life of his illustrious grandsire with an application to the problems of today. On this occasion the charter granted the branch by the National Association will be presented. Several of the friends of Mr. Douglass will visit the town at this time. Mr. Russell Lee, who has been in an Army Training Camp for more than a year, is now at home with his parents. Mr. and Mrs. James Lee, Sr. The King's Daughters of the Galloway Methodist Church held a social in the basement of the church on Wednesday night. Miss Henrietta Shaw, the assistant teacher, who was absent last week on account of the illness of her sister, is quite ill at her home in Washington. The Mothers' Progressive Council will hold its regular meeting on Tuesday at the residence of Mrs. Mattie Thomas. As a result of a rally held Sunday night at the Second Baptist Church, the Mothers' Council will send $5 as their Christmas donation to the Fireside School in Nashville, Tenn. Mrs. Fanny Thomas, who was quite ill last week, is steadily improving. Many of her friends and relatives from Washington, where she is well known, came out Sunday to see her. Mrs. Annie Mason Williams is confined to her home on account of illness. Dr. Sarah Brown, of Washington, will deliver a message from the War Camp Community Service Commission to the people of Falls Church, Sunday, February 2nd, at the Galloway Methodist Church, under the auspices of the Falls Church branch of the N. A. A. C. P. * * * Whenever a statement concerning a person comes from the friend of that person, one supposes that statement to be true. The news, of the little stranger coming into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Everett Thomas, of Jersey City, was given out to quite a few by a friend of Mrs. Thomas, but which afterward was found to be a mistake. So it is hereby corrected. * * * Mrs. Mary Carpenter was on the sick list last week. * * * The home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Tinner barely escaped being destroyed by fire on Monday of last week. Through the help of the friends and relatives who were close by at the time the blaze was soon extinguished. I believe that most of the citizens of Falls Church know that the Falls Church correspondent takes great pride and pleasure in putting in her weekly items all the good things and happenings which have occurred during that week. She has no preferences and is not biased on account of church denomination, clubs or societies. She would have more if more was told or brought to her, and it is never her intention to misrepresent anything, and she is only too glad to correct a mistake. She tries to be very careful, but even at that mistakes will happen. I wish to correct the item which stated that Mrs. Mattie Hunter gave a dance in honor of her birthday. Mrs. Hunter was offended by it and says it was not even a party. I said a dance because, before it occurred, I heard a friend say she said she was going to give a dance on the said occasion, and although they did dance during the evening, those who cared to, it will please be understood that Mrs. Hunter did not give a dance. I trust this will satisfy Mrs. Hunter and all of her friends. WEST WASHINGTON. The West Washington Community Center holds its meetings on Tuesday nights. Next Tuesday, February 4th, pictures of "France" will be exhibited by Mr. Newell to the girls and boys of this section. It is hoped that many will avail themselves of this opportunity to see and learn about this famous country, after which the regular meeting of the Center will be held. **** On February 11th, Miss C. Norton, the general secretary of the Community Center, will be present and will render a solo. You are invited to attend this Center and enjoy an evening of real recreation. Dr. Marshall, president; Miss Sadie A. Gaskins, acting Community secretary. The funeral of Mrs. Lucile Lewis,nee Bryant, who died January 21,1910, at her residence on O Street,between 28th and 29th Streets. was held Friday, January 24, 1910. from First Baptist Church. Rev. James L. Pinn, the pastor, officiated, assisted by. Rev. D. D. Turpean. The funeral was largely attended, and there were many floral offerings. Mrs. Raymond Hewlett rendered a solo. Interment was in Mt. Zion Cemetery. * * * Mrs. Bertha Williams had as her guests at dinner Friday last Rev. Ernest Williams, of Annapolis, Md., and Rev. and Mrs. Turpean, of Mount Zion M. E. Church. Under the leadership of Mrs. Sarah Pryor there was a grand service flag sacred concert given at the Alexander Memorial Baptist Church on Sunday evening at 3 o'clock, in honor of the wounded soldiers from Walter Reed Hospital. There was a splendid program arranged, consisting of some of the best speakers and singers of the race, after which a tasteful dinner was served to the soldiers. The revival services, which were conducted last week by Rev. Ernest Williams, of Annapolis, Md., at Mt. Zion M. E. Church, were a great success. The Social Trio Club, of which Mr. Ralph J. Richards is president; Mr. Charles E. Frazier, secretary, and Mr. Charles Boyd, treasurer, gave their first party on January 24, 1919, at the residence of Mr. Charles E. Frazier. The evening was spent in singing, playing games and dancing, after which the guests were abundantly refreshed with all the delicacies of the season. *** The Bee is always on sale at the Pride's Drug Store.

Those who are not too old to enter the medical school and graduate, so that they can write their own prescription, will now take up the study of medicine. There is more than one way to evade the law, legitimately, they say. A new school of medicine will be established somewhere in this city perhaps near the Howard Medical School. The Morris case is now in the hands of the United States attorney, and quite likely it will be called in a few days. An observation of the Morris library will show a number of familiar faces and handsome forms. I would suggest that the superintendent of schools go and inspect this library and see if some changes in the schools would not be necessary. Certainly the school authorities have heard of what has been going on. If they have not, now is the opportune moment to investigate. Now is the time for the school authorities to act. Attorney James A. Cobb, in his report to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, would no doubt make interesting reading. As a good citizen—and no one will doubt but that Mr. Cobb is a good citizen—and anxious to see his people advance, and as, the legal advisor of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, why not make his report public? If his report is true, then some immediate changes in the colored schools and repudiations in the colored society of Washington are absolutely necessary. Let the people have the benefit of your report, Mr. Cobb. There is some talk of asking Congress to investigate the Morris case. Well, the Davis, Houston and Johnson combination of Odd Fellows was knocked into a frizzle last week. This combination was legally slaughtered and the Odd Fellows' Journal continues its publication at the same old stand. Morris doesn't make any fuss when he enters a fight. He just walks into the ring with his coat off and adjusts his eyeglasses and knocks down his enemies. The holters didn't have a bottom in their bucket after Morris had finished his defense. The antis wanted to get in and Henry Lincoln Johnson just couldn't understand the knockout blow that the judge gave his combination. Now that Link Johnson has been put out of commission, he will doubt call a peace conference and have Henry P. Slaughter preside. Now would an Odd Fellow peace conference be in order, with Morris at the head of the table and Link Johnson seated at the foot, with Henry P. Slaughter acting as secretary? Perhaps. Will Hamilton will postpone his visit to London or Egypt, or wherever he was selected to go, to put Morris out of commission: Morris doesn't make any noise after he knocks out his opponents, but just goes right along and asks whose next. The old Philadelphia sage Needham knows more about the books of the Sub-Committee of Management and the Odd Fellows than any other individual in the order.

THE HOUSE OF THE MAYOR per just before the judge handed down his decision and parcel out the offices? Now they are going to have the side show all to themselves, and the real organization will be its own receiver. Attorney Thomas L. Jones found that his bootleggers compelled him to take a mid-winter trip to Atlantic City. Now it is a question of some conjecture whether Attorney Jones will take a mid-winter bath in the cold, watery waves of the ocean or not. Tom is dubious about his summer baths, and it is not likely that he will venture out this season of the year. Anyway, he means to have a good time. His health demands it, and if he can successfully run through the zone of John Barleycorn on his way to the city, he will be crowned lord of all. When Tom makes up his mind to take a rest, he will not hesitate to throw down the bootleggers or any other kind of leg.

LAFAYETTE PLAYERS WILL GO TO CHICAGO NEXT WEEK The Lafayette Players gave last week at the Howard a splendid production of the heavy melodrama, "Darkest Russia," calling for the highest possibilities of the art of acting and elocutionary power. Abbie Mitchell, Susie Sutton, Laura Bowman, Alice Gorgas, Sidney Kirkpatrick, William (Babe) Townsend, J. Francis Mores, A. B. DeComathiere, Will A. Cooke, Thomas A. Mosely, J. W. Coleman and Julian Keith all have roles which show them to marked advantage. The transsition from the lightest of musical comedies to the heaviest, of tragic dramas, is a far cry, but the Lafayette Players took the long leap and landed with both feet firmly on the ground. This week the Mitchell Company will present "Darkest Russia" in New York City, after which it will go to Chicago to replace the Walker Thompson company, which has been enjoying an extended run at the Avenue Theater.

In ignorance of God's plan for the recovery of the world from sin and its consequences, and under the false idea that the nominal church in its present condition is the sole agency for its accomplishment, the condition of the world today, after the Gospel has been preached for nearly nineteen centuries, is such as to awaken serious doubts in every thoughtful mind so misinformed. And such doubts are not easily surmounded with anything short of the truth. In fact, to every thoughtful observer one of two things must be apparent: either the church has made a great mistake in supposing that in the present age and in her present condition her office is to convert the world, or else God's plan for the salvation of men has been a miserable failure. Which horn of the dilemma shall we accept? Many have accepted and many more doubtless will accept the latter and swell the ranks of infidelity, either covertly or openly. For they, being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God (Rom. 10:3). To assist such as are honestly falling thus, and to unfold God's plan of salvation, is the object of this writing. God's plan of salvation is built upon faith in Him, through Jesus, and He is both the author and finisher of this faith. It is well for a man to believe of himself that there is a God, and that Jesus died to save him, but this belief is carnal and does not save him, because the devils, too, believe there is a God and tremble (James 2:19). We are taught to have this belief from infancy. Nicodemus had this belief, but when he came to Jesus it did not save him. His faith was built upon the miracles Christ performed only; therefore, his foundation was sandy and could not stand. God's plan of salvation calls for a solid foundation of faith, built upon a rock. God is this rock, and as I have said, "the author of our faith." It is necessary, then, that we have Him bear us witness, that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. Nicodemus did not have this belief, therefore Jesus told him that "It is necessary for a man to have a new or spiritual belief in order to see the Kingdom of God." How can a sinner get this new be- He that cometh to the Lord must first believe that He is, and that He is the rewarder of them that diligently seek Him (Heb. 11:6). Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. Preach to a sinner seeking salvation how man fell from grace, how the whole world was searched, yet nowhere could a man be found whose righteousness outweighed the sin man committed, and how Jesus asked God, His Father, to prepare Him a body that He might go down and die to give man once more a right to the tree of life. Preach how all that was lost was purchased by this Redeemer, who declared that He came to seek and to save that which was lost. Although Jesus made the supreme sacrifice, that salvation might be open to all believers. He was not satisfied even then to go back and rest contented in Heaven, but His great love caused Him to leave His spirit among men, to knock at the hearts of sinners, saying, "Come, let us reason together." He came to seek and to save. Repentance, a change of mind, only arising from the conviction that we have done wrong and leading to an amendment of conduct, is necessary to salvation (Acts 2:38). Having heard then of Jesus' great love, a sinner, believing that he is now ready to take the first step, if you please, in God's plan of salvation, is caused by Jesus' great love and suffering to become sorry for his sins. When he is made sorry after a godly manner, he sorrows to repentance, which worketh salvation (11 Cor. 7:10). Regeneration a New Belief. Having repented, a sinner now seeks his reward, and it is necessary for him to go to God, as the forgiveness of sins is a blessing which God only can bestow (Luke 5:21). This is given through Jesus (Eph. 1:7), and is freely conferred on a sinner (Rev. 22:17). In God's plan of salvation the blind man, the woman with the sick daughters, the ten lepers, the lame man at the pool and the publican shows a sinner clearly that while Jesus is ever ready to do His part, that is, to seek and to save, it is necessary for him to humble himself and ask God for mercy, in order to get this new belief. Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners, and purify your hearts, ye double-minded. Be afflicted and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy, to heaviness of heart. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up (James 4:8, 11). God has not changed His plan of salvation. Godly sorrow causes a sinner to repent like the publican and make a humble confession of his sins to God and pray for forgiveness. All that he is asked to do in order to get his reward (a new belief) after diligently seeking Him with his whole heart (Deut. 4:29) is to ask God for it; therefore, God will hear sinners pray. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved (Rom. 10:13). Ask, and it (a new belief) shall be given you; seek and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you. For everyone that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened (Matt. 7:1, 8). God will give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him (Luke 4:18). The publican and Cornelius were both sinners, and God heard them pray. The bizarreise was a sinner in the sight of God, yet he trusted in himself that he was righteous, and despised others. When he prayed to God, instead of humbling himself and asking for mercy, he exalted himself, telling God how different he was from other men. This is the type of sinner God will not hear pray (Luke 18:14). God, being the author and rock upon which the faith of salvation is built, is also the finisher of this faith, and as soon as a sinner repents and exercises enough faith to please Him, he is given his reward—the Holy Ghost. And God, who knoweth the hearts, bore them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as He did unto us (Acts 15:8). Whoever receives this gift of the Holy Ghost begins to speak with another tongue, as the Spirit gives them utterance, magnifying God (Acts 2:4; 10:46). Generation, or new birth, is what Jesus called being born again (John 3:3)—passing from death to life (Eph. 5:25; John 3:14)—a new creature (II Cor. 5:17; Gal. 6:15)—Christ formed in the heart. (Col. 1:27)—partaking of a divine nature (II Pet. 1:4)—in its nature; it is a supernatural change (John 3:6; Eph. 2:4, 5)—internal, invisible, and inexplicable (John 3:8)—visible in its effects (I John 3:9; 4:7; 5:4)—universal, extending to all faculties, affections and actions of life (II Cor. 5:17)—imperfect in its degree of light and holiness (I Cor. 13:9, 12)—permanent and abiding (Phil. 1:6). A sinner having repented and having been regenerated, is now ready for baptism. Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? Many of us who have been truly born of God have fallen asleep, causing the majority of the church to neglect the lamp, and to look to human teachers for leading; and the teachers, puffed up with pride, assumed titles and offices and began to lord it over God's heritage. Then, by degrees, there came into existence a special class called "the clergy," who regard themselves and are regarded by others as the proper guides of faith and practice, aside from the Word of God. This evil is enough to cause every true born child of God's heart to ache. I go among those who are supposed to be followers of God, and when I speak of the Holy Ghost they fail to recognize me as one of the sheep, so to speak, in God's flock, because the Holy Ghost is a stranger to them. They are followers of man's plan of salvation built upon sand and shall surely fall. Philip baptized many who believed, but had not received the Holy Ghost, and it was necessary for Peter and John-to pray for them; that they might receive it. For as yet he was fallen upon none, only they had been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus (Acts 8:12, 17). In man's plan of salvation there is no part for a Peter or a John. A sinner is simply asked if he believes in the Lord; if he says "yes," he is taken into the church, baptized in the name of the Lord and called saved. Empty professions of faith are made by unrenewed men, and therefore soon relinquished (Acts 8:13, 22). Jesus said, "All these things would come to pass, but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved" (Matt. 25:13). "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears. And they shall turn away their ears from the truth and shall be turned unto fables." (II Tim. 4:3, 4). This prophecy is being fulfilled every day. We who have been born of God, let us stand fast in the faith He has given us and teach or preach the Word of God in truth only.

Amen: The funeral of Mrs. Clara Williams, wife of the late Rev. G. S. Williams, of the South Carolina M. E. Church Conference, who died at her late residence, 1907 Third Street N. W., last Friday morning, January 17th, was held from the home last Monday, January 20th, at 1 p. m., Rev. Dr. M. W. Claire, of Asbury M. E. Church, officiating, and Rev. W. S. Meil, of the South Carolina Conference, who knew the deceased's husband for many years, assisted. Mrs. Williams leaves to mourn her loss nine children, and many friends, who sympathize with them in their sad bereavement. Prof. Wellington A. Adams, assisted by the vested choir members—Mrs. Ella Gibson, Mrs. Cordelia Coles and Mrs. Amanda Patterson—furnished beautiful music, and the scene, with them robed around the casket, was striking in portrayal. Herbert Johnson's great song, "Face to Face," as sung by Mr. Adams, made many a tear-stained face in the saddened group, yet served to cheer the heart of Christians. Beautiful flowers adorned the casket, and the last sad good-bye to mother was said at the grave until the judgment's awakening.
