BPECIAL NOTICE.
Rev. Stewaxt was named as asst,
pastor of Bethesda church. He is
esteemed by all and deserving of the
honor.
The past series of meetings have
been beneficial to the church in at
tendance and finance. Rev’s. Reed.
Pierce, Toombs, Mitchell and Stew
art and the pastor ' have labored
earnestly in preaching the word.
The pastor and members cordially
invites the public to attend our
church and social gatherings.
If you have no church home why
not come and have a Christian home
with us?
So many people move into our
large cities, fail to affiliate them
selves with some church, loose their
prestige, loose their good name, and
finally loose their soul.

We claim to be the best advertising
medium of the Twin Cities, and when
you’re not advertised In the Twin
City Star, you need not show-—that’s
all. Because the people read the
Star for the news, especially In Min
neapolis. The day of the Town Crier
is past. Be up-to-date, Advertise and
Pay for It, A newspaper la the best
medium. It reaches the homes and
firesides of people who attend public
entertainments. These people never
go out and loiter around and read
hand-hills and hang-up notions. They
read the Twin City Star.

Lesson Id—Fourth Quarter, For
Oct. 1, 1911.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text ef the Lesson, Bask. 111, 18-21.
Memory Verses, 17-18—Golden Text,
Ezek. 111, 17—Commentary Prepared
by Rev. D. M. Steams.
It Is most helpful to consider these
men who were truly tent of God and
who faithfully delivered His messages.
The heart of all their messages was
the one to whom they all bare witness
(Acts x, 48); the one whom Ezekiel saw
as a man upon a throne (i, 28); the one
for whom the throne of David still
waits, who will be King over all the
earth and rule the world in righteous
ness (Luke 1, 32, 38; Zech. xlv, 9).
Ezekiel was one of the captives in
Babylon, and, like Daniel, he was there
for his own good and the good of oth
ers (Jer. xxiv, 5), that he might turn
the people to God. The hand of the
Lord was specially upon him, as it Is
said at least seven times (1, 8; ill, 14,
22; vMI, 1; xxxlli, 22; xxrvli, 1; xl, 1),
and by tbe Spirit of the Lord be saw
visions of God, heavenly things as In
chapter 1, and things at Jerusalem on
earth as In chapter vlll, things then
taking place or about to take place as
in chapter xll, and things yet future
as In chapter xxrvli.
When we have become children of
God by receiving the Lord Jesus
Christ there Is nothing we need so
much as to be filled with the Holy
Spirit and have the hand of God upon
us, controlling, guiding, working. If
we are in His hand for His pleasure,
inasmuch as the pleasure of the Lord
sball prosper In His hand (Isa. 1111,10)
it will prosper through ns if we are
only willing and obedient
The aim of every bellevef who la
right with God most be the glory of
God, that God In all things may be
glorified and the time of His kingdom
hastened (I Pet lv, 11, 18; v, 10). In
chapter 1 the prophet saw the likeness
of the glory of the Lord In the cloud,
and fire and brightness, and the living
creatures, and the wheels and the
throne over all with the man upon It
(chapter 1,8; xxvi, 28). In chapter
x, 20 he tells ns that he knew the
living creatures were the cherubim,
and I believe that Adam and Eve and
the antedllnvlan believers saw In the
cherubim In Eden symbols of what re
deemed ones sball tp In tbe kingdom.
Before It Is time to teach this lesson
I hope to have ready a booklet on “The
Cherubim.” It is only as we are filled
with visions of God and glory that we
can be His faithful witnesses here in
this nngodly world. There is rebellion
against God on every side as truly as
in the days of Eaeklel (chapters li, 8-8;
ill, 7), and the word of truth la not
popular. It la even according to Isa.
xxx, 9-11, bnt If Spirit filled and be
holding the glory we shall not be
moved by what we see and hear all
about us.
As tee Lord’s messenger or watch
man Ezekiel waa to hear the word at
His month and give them warning
from Him (verse 17). His orders were:
"Speak My words unto them whether
they will hear or whether they will
forbear." "Bat this roll and go speak
unto tbe house of Israel." “Speak with
My words unto them." All My words
receive in thine heart and go and tell
them, thus salth the Lord God (il, 7;
111, 1,4, 10, 11). The messenger of the
Lord must never get up his own mes
sage nor speak from his own heart
merely, but be mnst eat the words of
the Lord according to this lesson and
Jer. xv, 10; Rev. x, 8-11. Like this
prophet and John in Patmos, we will
find the word sweet to our taste, but
afterward bitter (111, 3, 14), for there
will be an opposition to it on the part
of many which will enable ns to sym
pathize with Jeremiah in bis experi
ence of chapter xx, 8-10. Hay there
also be In us sucb a burning that we
cannot bnt speak tbe words of truth,
however much we may be tempted not
to do so (Acts lv, 20).
Tbe prophet’s seven days’ astonish
ment (verse 10) remjnds ns of Job’s
friends who sat 4rlth him seven days
and nights without speaking a word
(Job 11, 13) and of the words of Ps
xxxix, 9, "I was dumb, I opened not
my mouth because Tbou didst It.”
Concerning verses 18 to 21 of our les
son compare ebaptero xxxlli, 7-14, and
note Prov. xxlv, 11, 12, and see our re
sponsibility to give to others the glad
tidings which are for all people. We
are put lu trust with the gospel aud
are debtors to all who have never
heard, and we will be greatly ashamed
In teat day If we have been unfaith
ful to oar trust (I Tbess. U, 4; Rom.
1, 14-16; I John 11, 28). It was one
who belonged to the wicked one who
■aid, "Am I my brother’s keeper?” (1
John 111, 12), and we mnst be careful
last while professedly Christians we
act as If we cared not If others per
ish. Concerning tee words "Iniquity”
and "righteousness” In the lesson par
agraph we are considering, we mnst
remember teat "all our righteousness
es are as filthy rags" (Isa. lxlv, 6).
and apart from the righteousness of
God In Christ, which becomes ours
when we receive Him, there Is none
that will stand (II Cor. v, 21; I Cor.
i, 80; Rom. x, 8,4).
From lesson verses 22, 28, we learn
that we mnst be where God wants us
in order to hear His voice. "Arise, go
forth Into tbe plain, and I will there
talk with thee." "Arise and go down
to the potter’s house, and there 1 will
cause thee to hear my words" (Jer
xvlll, 2). Obedience Is everything,
whether the word is “Go forth” or
"Go shat thyself within thine bouse”
(verse 24), whether He says “Be dumb”
or "Open thy mouth" (verses 28, 27V

A GLIMPBE OF SOUTHLAND.
Maymie Geraldine Williams.
Tampa is situated on Tampa Bay,
Which opens into the great Gulf of
Mexico. It la a town of about 50,000
inhabitants of which the Afro-Amer
icans constitute about 1-3 of the pop
ulation.
The soil is very sandy, and there is
sand, sand evei7where and hardly a
blade of grass.
The Negro population consists of
Negroes from all the West India and
Bahama Isles. There are about as
many foreign Negroes here as there
are Americans vis. Cubans, Jamacians,
Haytians and Nassans.
The commercial life of the Negroes
of Tampa is very active and one can
atop with hit colored brother in al
most every avenue of hnsineaa.
Grocery stores, meat markets, sa
loons, fruit stands and restaurants
are quite numerous and are conducted
successfully. *■
Members of the race find employ
ment as brick layers, carpenters,
cigar makers, hack drivers, firemen,
and for almost all manual labor. Sev
eral are working for the government
as railway olerks, letter carriers, and
internal revenue inspectors.
There are three undertaking estab
lishments, many livery stables, wood
yards, all operated by Negroes. While
a few are engaged in raising oranges
and lemons.
Nearly all the Lodges own their
own buildings. The Odd Fellows
have a three story brick building
worth about $25,000 which la a credit
to the entire state.
Being a seaport town, and tee pop
ulation vastly cosmopolitan, there Is
apparently very little race friction.
I hardly think teat tee race will
lose its Identity In this state for
black predominates every where.
While there are not as many young
boys and girls who graduate each
year aa there should be, they have
some Inspiration to climb to loftier
heights, for If he or she desires, they
can readily find a place or make it
Onr people as a rale patronize their
own people here.
Mrs. Williams Is well known in the
Twin Cities, prior to leaving waa
stenographer for the Cosmopolitan
Insurance Company.

scription by P. O. order. Get an or
der for tbe amount (less cost of order
and postage) and send it to the Twin
