Of all the titles applied to the Jivine Master, even the most im sious, with one grain of self-respect emaining would hardly dare to boggoterize the Lord Jesus as a tnple idea with disgust. *d yet, ver man spake with suchauthor- - as the blessed Master. He came to the world not to drive but to ead men. Nowadays when there Bso much talk of ¢“bosses” versus Jeaders” it is extremely helpful think of the methods employed wv.the Great Leader and Teacher of , for his leadership had to do ath men’s bodies as well as their mouls. The people of Maryland bat a short while ago laid on the shelf <boss” Gorman. It was not mticipated or expected that he twould have a successor, for a right feous indignation of the pepwlace indicated that such an office pr po sation was an intrusion in ‘the le gitimate sphere of popular govern ment. But as there must be a head to everything, Mr. Welling *on was designated as the head or geaucr. fapdicstione dnrine the gt oy peks seem to indi .

THE FEAST OF Ewsnxifu HOPE | At this season of the year the | beanties ¢f spring, thg#fgshionable |{and j g costum and every note M WEAEe sccm fo lend their | colleetive "Mlence towsrds accen g *’“};‘?Mf‘&? iphasiZing the Feast peular as well asiithe religious 4Wworld, are fvout to celebmte: This % is as it shpuld be, The prominence | given té spring; bonnets and the | latest @yle ofifashionable attire, Lthe abtracti¥e significance given | togthe digplay of merchandise mo | ely overshadows the great fevent which this season would an nually renew in the hearts of the Christian world. The little boy knows that it is Easter ; the young man and maiden have been plan ning for this occasion during the many weeks that are past, and all hearts, with anxious expectation, have been turned in that direction. If then, these secondary and harm less chnsiderations assist in direc ting the attention to the “Queen of Festivals,” and spiritual teaching which it is designed to convey. they will have served a noble pur pose. Kaster joys are the greatest for they bring us face to face with a contemplation of the raptuous and permanent joys and delights which await us in the heavenly country. The rising from the dead of Jesus Christ the Savior of the world is the most unique and won derful event in the annals of histo tory. As an historical faet it can not be gainsayed, for the Christian Chuich, a self perpetuating organ ization, constitutes the monument al proof of the fact. Aside from the eternal hope which it brings to the human heart, as a mighty and in spiing fact, alone, it challenges the greatest admiration and dehght. The fact of the resurrection of Je (sus is responsible for the wonder ful advance in all those things, in dustrial, scientific and otherwise which have enriched and ennobled the world. The divine and God man Jesus Christ, in his death and a new aifipn;ushered into the \‘V(.)l‘ld in time to regenerate ara Siflicient human society and superinduce on its behalf marvelous and' divine blessings. Yes, and above all is the fact of eternal hope— chasing away gloom and despair and bring ing comfort and consolation to the weary and heavy-laden, remind ing them of their. future dc:iiny inan eternity of glory and never ending pleasures and joys. Let ‘the sorrowful, therefore, rejoice in ‘the happy assurance that their sor row, some day, shall be turned in to eternal joy. - Not one word in reference to their own interests, nor one word in the interest of the race was ex pressed in the resolutions adopted by the Citizen’s League at thein mass meeting last Monday night, y';\lr White Man was lauded to thé;é skies. The “party” was washed off, nice and cleaa, and freshened up Wik o "iQ“f,lJ_ heavy coat of white were added, and the G." o hr‘,]? was invested with such an angelicr expression that they all bowed | down and worshiped as in days of yore, when such tried an(htrue pa triots as John Brown, Abraham gcoln, Thkaddeus Stevens, Amos Liove oy and Charles Sumner stood i right in the face of ostm-' M and death. And this was a feeting of colored men. Men who ave voted the Republican ticket awere driven from the vho stood by an | ' POLITICAL GOSSIP. Téxe old School Board having wen itsfight against Mayor Hooper, has taken possession of the school affairs ope¢ more. For the first time in thirty vears it is controlled by the Re ‘publicans, and its course, as far as the colored people are concerned, will pe closely watched. There are many ‘things the can do which will be of immense benefit 'to the colored people, and that too without neglect. of duty to the white schools and white people. So far, however, true to the in stiects which have governed the Re publican party ever since it came in to power. it has not seen fit to confer one little plum uponr the colored voter. Not that the colored voter was expecting much, if anythiog, from them, yet they might cast just one little plnm in our way which would have been gladly accepted by any of the thousand and one hungry colored contingent of the G. O. P. _But if they will promptly turn over No 2. school to us, and see to a pum ber of other things that we need, we may be inclined to forgive them for their other short comings. The Janior Senator of Maryland has shown conclusively that he is in the saddle, and will promptly sit down on any attemnt to goi\ground hiw, or over him. Mr. Ston{fas we predicted last week will vrWaptly acquiesce in Mr. Wellington’s way of thinking, and yield to the inevitable. In the meantime he has served no tice on Messrs. Supplee and Malster, that they cannot be the candidates of the Party Organization. Messrs. Supplee and Malster, however, have quietly ‘winked the other eye,” at Mr. Stone and gone on pushing tbeir canvass for what it is worth. Mr. Stone says they are ‘‘wot in iw?«and in due season, the man who isto fill the chair now occupied by Mr, Hooper, will ke made known to the rank and fite, who will be expeected to promptly confirm Mr. Stone’s de cision at the primaries. The Citizen’s Club of Maryland is® new organization which contemplates entering iuto the political arena with eonsiderable vim, considering from a standpoint of their annocuncements. It would be vastly better, however, if these gentlemen wonld ally them selves to the Citizens Committee of one hundred. ‘'l'oo many leaders is now the caunse of the trouble in the colored ranks. Mr. Wellington has shown that there can be but one leader, and he that leader, 'at least at present. This is what the colored peopie need, one leader instead of a hundred. Letusget together and we will aczomplish something that ‘is worthy. DAVID D. DICKSON, Candidate for the Haytian Missiah.

C. A The C. Y. W. C. A. of Baltimore City was organized Jan, 3d, 1896, at the Madison St. Presbyterian Church by Mrs. S. A. Charity and six other ladies, under the direction of Mrs. Elliott, President of the white Y. W. C. A. on Franklin Bt., The first year of its existence was marked by much progress, and thenumber of members was increased to fifty. , The second yvear, Mrs. Murphy was elected Pres ident, and*the work is still increasing. Among the Industrial Classes, they have a Dress Making Class of 12 girls being taught by pattern. The second class will orgauvize on next Weduesday under Mrs. Burgess to be taught by mweasurement. We have also a class in which the girls are taught to make paper flowers and pieture frames. We have an Ewmployment Bureau, open every day, with Miss Mary ‘l'il den, Secretary. Svunday April 4th was ‘‘Book Day” and quire a number of books were given with which to start a Library forour girls. Sunday April 11th was our Annual Celebration. Through the kindness of Rev. hill, we met at Urinity Church. It was a success in every way. Addrseses were made by Pr. Wi, H. Weaver and Rev. J. W Beckett.. Scripture Lesson by Mrs. Mary Frisby Handy. The collecrion amounted to $lO 65, which will go toward purchasing a home for the Association. " 'l'he object of the Association is to help the yonng women in ouar cow mwnuoity tv be better and truer women, to encourage them to make the most of themseivesin mind body and soul, to teach them to find the sweetness 1 life; its compensations even under t e most discoaraging surroundings. + The aim is to m.ake the Association rooms a place for social gatherings wheie young women who have no howe in the city may spend a pleas ant evening and feel that there, wel come and cheer, love aud protection are always 1o be found. It is a mis sion field, too, wherein many are cowforted ana saved, and where a sympathizing friend is ever in atten dance, ready .0 counsel all who need it, and to point them to the Lamb of God whicu taketh away the sins of |tne world. Ivis also the object of the Association to assist the yonng wowen to fit themselves for better positions in life; to complete this end they haveindustrial classes and night schools, l There is no ciass of people so help less or wh. stand so in need of a wise friend as the young girls who have left their country homes aund the pro tecting care of their parents, to come toa large city. Their ignorance of evil renders them more liable to fall intothe many traps set for their uu wary feet. 1t ir this class especially, thatthe Y. W. C, A. wish to exteud their,sympathy and care. We are in no way auntagonistic to the churches, and are entirely undenominational. We encovrage every young woliu n to become a mewmber of some churceh, and pastors will flnd a great need suppiied in these Associations where they can send young girls neading womanly hLelp and feel ~ure they witl receive wise council and care. hr;ifii‘.fl’éfs\&l".fi‘i‘?fi @“f{"«‘“‘i’st neets the w., at the rooms, 348 W Hgadd-S.p Mrs. Nettie Cooper is Chairman.
