FORMED IN HATTIESBURG
Local Relief Committee Will Continue to Aid
the Storm-Sufferers.
The Hattiesburg relief committqp
met at the office of the Commercial
Club at 4:30 p. m. Friday.
The report of tbe work done and
yet in contemplation was considered.
V. M. Scanlan and R. L. Bennett were
granted authority to continue their in - - 1
vestigation of the additional needs of
the storm sufferers and they were also
outhorlzed to grant such help towards
rebuilding as their judgment suggests,
keeping in mind that there are about
400 to 500 people embraced in about
sixty to seventy-five families who r. 111
bursemenls to date by the committee
amount to about $4,000. This does not
include the supplies of clothing, ffood,
milk, vegetables, fruit, services and
various other forms of help that have
been so freely donated by willing
contributors.
A resolution was unanimously adoot
ed authorizing the secretary to conv**v
special and fitting expressions of ap
preciation for services rendered, to the
gentlemen who have represented the
government in this noble work of re
lief as follows: Capt. N. T. McLean,
and Lieut. H. R. Hermesh* surgeons
of United States army; Maj. C. A. De
vo, and Maj. W. L. Simpson, of United
States army; Capt. B. K. Ashford and
Lieut. H. H..Bailey, surgeons of Army
Medical Corps; the National Red Cross
through its secretary at Washington.
The secretary was also directed to
make special acknowledgement of the
seiTices and contributions from New
Orleans and Northeastern Railroad,
Mobile, JackBon & Kansas City Rail
❖ IN THE 8UNOAY SCHOOL. ♦
(By W. P. Chambers.)
♦
❖
On that morning in spring when
Simon of Cyrene, coming in from the
country met a procession on its way
from the palace of the Roman gov
ernor, to the city gate, he was doubt
less surprised to see so small a num
ber of criminals on their way to exe
cution, followed by such multitudes.
There were only three of the male
factors, each bearing a cross, two
common robbers and a peasant. And
yet they were accompanied by vast
crowds of people, among whom were
many grave and dignified members, of
the Sanhedrin, as well as the rabble
that usually followed such processions,
lut a closer Inspection of the felon -
showed that one at least was no ordi
nary convict going to a shameful
death. His clothes, plain of texture
and suited to a peasant, were torn,
mud-spattered and blood-stained, and
in great disorder. On hlg head was
a crown of thorns, many of which
had been cruelly pressed down Into
the flesh, and his noble countenance
was so marred by streaks of blood
and human spittle that it presented a
most shocking sight. And when the
slender form stumbled and fell under
the heavy burden, almost at Simon's
feet, the Roman officer commanded
the sympathetic spectator to take up
and carry the cross himself,
such a command there was no appeal,
and so they reached the place of
dflxlon.
This followed the six trials of Jesus

After the work of the committete
was completed the secretary reported
that Mr. Cha3. L. Magee, secretary
National Red Cross, had suggested
that this committee be organized into
a permanent Red Cross organization.
This suggestion was approved and an
organization effected with the follow
ing named persons: F. F. Pfaillipa^j^

Baton, Mrs. S. E. Longre, Mrs.
A. U. Montgomery, Mrs. D. B. Holmes,
Mrs. J. A. Bishop, Mrs. C. W. Rich,
members of the relief committee. Be
sides these the names of Mrs. J. W.
Albritton, Mr. J. H. Mitchell and C. F.
Larson were added by request and the
following officers, were then elected:
F. F. Phillips, president.
V. M. Scanlan and Mrs. S. E. Lon
gre, vice presidents. *
R. L. Bennett, secretary and treas
urer.
A meeting was then ordered for
Tuesday next at 4:30 p. m. at which
time applications for membership in
Red Cross will be received and acted
upon. The annual dues in this worthy
organization amount to the smdli sum
of ono dollar.
It is hoped a large membership will
be obtained as the Red Cross is grow
ing all over the world.
Hattiesburg thus has the destinction
of having the only organized Red
Cross in-Mississippi.
which came in the following order:
1. The informal trial before Annas,
as we studied last Sunday.
2. The irregular (rial before the
Saithedrin under Caiaphas, before day
light. Jesus being put on his oath,
testified that He was the son of God.
for which he was condemned as a
blasphemer.
3. The formal trial by the Sanhe
drin, after sunrise to ratify and legal
ize what had already been done.
4. The trial before Pilate, where
he was accused of sedition and being
a strife maker. The evidence not be
ing sufficient to convict, Pilaate sent
him to Herod.
5. The trial before Herod, who also
acquitted him.
6. The second trial before Pilate,
where by every unfair means, as well
as by direct threats, Pilate was in
duced to order his crucifixion.
To construct a cross, two pieces
of timber were needed, one of which
was some ten feet in length. Near one
end of this and directly across it was
fastened the middle of the other piece
of timber, which was about six feet
long. To crucify a person, was to
place him on his back on the longer
section of the cross. His arms were
stretched as far. as possible, and with
rough, large headed nails his hands
were securely fastened to the shorter
beam, the nails being driven through
the hands from the palms. His feet
were also- nailed to the longer beam.
Then the cross was raised up. and
the foot or lower end was dropped Into
a hole dug for that purpose.
A block of wood was tastened on the
upright beam a^ kind of saddle, but
nearly the whole weight of the body!
rested on the nails in the hands and ]
feet. Of course the pain was intense,
and persons were left in that position
till death came to their relief. Some
times they lingered for two or three
days, tortured by an intolerable thirst,
and harassed by swarms of flies and
hordes of ants before they died.
A full account of the crucifixion of
Jesus can be obtained only by reading
the four accounts. All of them tell of
the superscription that Pilate had pre
pared in the three best known lan
guages in the world, that is, Hebrew,
the language of religion, Greek, the
language of learning, and Latin the
language of law, but only John tells us
that the Jewish rulers wanted it
amended. Three of them tell about
that mysterious darkness over the
whole land for three hours, when the
sun refused to shine on its maker's
shame. Matthew tells of an earth
quake and some open graves, and
three of them tell of the rent vail in
the temple. Luke falls to mention the
gambling soldiers, but tells of the
repentant and forgiven thief, and
John only tells how Jesus confmittted
the care of his mother to the beloved
disciple.
The seven sayings of Jesus on the
cross are as follows:
1. "Father, forgive them for they
know not what they do."
2. "Today thou shalt be with me in
paradise."
3. "Woman, behold thy son,-be
hold thy mother."
4. "My God! My God! why has thou
forsaken me."
5. "I thirst."
6. "It is finished."
V. "Father, into try hands I com
mend my spirit."
On Golgotha (Calvary, in Latin) oc
curred the event which means than
scendently more to Adam's posterity
than any other since the morning stars
sang together at the creation of the
universe. It is the central point in
human history—the one place where
the world has "about-faced"—the fixed
point in the spiritual realm, where
the saints of all the ages past, and
in all the ages to come, find comfort
help and hope.
May God help us to understand its
lessons aright.

The president's nomination of Thom

popular in Cuba, where General Barry
Is in command of what is called the
army of pacification. He has been on
leave of absence in the United States,
and one object of bis visit at this time
was to confer with Secretary Taft of
the war department and Major Gen
eral J. Franklin Bell, chief of staff of
the army, on the subject of reducing
the number of troops in Cuba. It la
expected that there will be protests
against any wlttpdrawal of troops, es

GENERAL THOllAS H. BARKY.
tie active work has recently been done
by the soldiers from the United States,
the preservation of order In the Island
being left for the most part to the
rurales, but the presence of Uncle
Sam's troops has constituted an impor
tant moral foree and has, it is believed,
been valuable in preventing disturb
ances. The soldiers are needed, how- ,
ever, in other places, and it is felt by j
the government at Washington that a
beginning should be made in the proc
ess of reducing the forces tn the island.
General Barry reacbed the rank of
brigadier general in 1903 and was ap
pointed to the command of the Cuban
army of pacification in 1907. He was
born in New York in 1855 and gradu
ated from the United States Military
academy at West Point in 1877. He
served with distinction In the China
relief expedition during the Boxer In
surrection and later won credit in the
