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, fall to affiliate them
selves with some church, loose their
prestige, loose their good name, and
finally loose their soul.

Text of the Leeson, Ezra i, 1 -11 j 11, 64-
70—Memory Verses, i, 3, 4—Golden
Text, Mio. vii, 18—Commentary Pre
pared by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
As we turn to the story of tha re
turn from Babylon some words come
to mind such as these: “Every pur
pose of the Lord shall be performed,”
“Whatsoever the Lord pleased that
did He,” “He worketh all things after
the counsel of His own will” (Jer. U,
29; Ps. cxxxv, 6; Eph. 1, 11).
Compare the previous chapter,
verses 21, 22, and the words of the
Lord Jesus In Luke xxlv, 44, “All
things must be fulfilled which were
written in the law of Moses and in
the prophets and in the psalms con
cerning Me.” All the predictions con
cerning the captivity of Israel and
Judah were fulfilled, and now under
Ezra and Nehemiah the predictions
concerning the return from captivity
are to be fulfilled, God controlling the
hearts of kings to bring it about Just
as surely shall all predictions concern
ing a still future restoration be ful
filled, and they shall then be plucked
up do more nor see evil any mor&
Neither shall they weep any more
(Amos lx, 19; Zeph. 111, 15; Isa. xxx,
19). The Lord shall be their everlast
ing light, and the days of their mourn
ing shall be ended (Isa. lx, 20).
He is quite able to accomplish all
that He has purposed, and it Is our
privilege to walk with Him and see
Him do it. If we are abiding in Him
He may use us, but He will work out
His eternal purpose, and He cannot
fail nor he discouraged (Eph. ill, 11;
Isa. xlll, 4). He may use a Cyrus or
Darius, an Ezra or a Nehemiah, but
He is ever saying, “I will work, and
who shall hinder it?” (Isa. xliil, 13.)
Cyrus is one of the seven men men
tioned by name before they were born.
Isaiuh speaks of him as God’s chosen
one over 150 years before he came on
earth (Isa. xllv, 28; xlv, 17), just as
Joslab was mentioned by name and
some things that he would do about
300 years before he was born (1 Kings
xlll, 2; II Kings xxiil, 15-17). How In
spiring are the words, “I am God, and
there is none else; I am God, and
there is none like Me, declaring the
end from the beginning, and from an
cient times the things that are not yet
done, saying, My counsel shall stand,
and I will do all My pleasure.”
“Known unto God are all His works
from the beginning of the world” (Isa.
xlvi, 9-11; Acts xv, 18).
It was the Lord who stirred up the
spirit of Cyrus, the king, to send Ezra
and the people back to Jerusalem to
build the house of the Lord God of
Israel, nnd It was He who stirred up
the hearts of all who went back
(verses 1,5). Cyrus acknowledged
that It was the Lord God of heaven
who had made him ruler over the
kingdoms of this world and had
charged him to build the house at
Jerusalem (verses 2-4), and he called
for volunteers to go up and do this,
commanding those who did not go to
help in every way those who went.
It Is all important to notice this, for
the church seems to have forgotten it
and is giving itself up to schemes of
every kind to draw money from peo
ple who are not Interested and who
have no part In the Lord’s work, not
being children of God. Notice in Ex.
xxxv, 5-29; xxxvl, 7, that the ma
terial for the tabernacle had to be
willingly offered, and they brought so
abundantly that Moses had to ask
them to stop bringing, as more than
enough had come in for all the work.
Concerning the temple, David said,
“I have prepared with all my might
for the house of my God, because I
have set my affection to the house of
my God.” He nlso said, “Who am I,
and what 1a my people that we should
be able to offer so willingly after thil
sort, for all things come of Thee, and
of Thine own have we given Thee”
(I Chron. xxix, 2, 3-14). A willing
mind is everything, and God asks no
one to give or to do that which Ho
does not give them the ability to glvt
or do (II Cor. vili, 12; I ret lv, 11).
The love of Christ is the one con
straining power.
Think of the 5,400 vessels of gold
and silver which had been seventy
years in the hands of the enemy, now
about to be restored to Jerusalem
(verses 7-11)1 Notice also the nearly
50,000 people (verses 64-65), and con
sider the restoration that is to be from
all lands, both before and after the
coming of the Messiah in glory, that
Israel may blossom and bud and fill
the face of the earth with fruit (Exek.
xxxvi, 24, 25; Isa. lx, 9; xxvil, 6; Fa.
lxvil, 1-7).
In chapter 11, 59-62, we see the ne
cessity of being on the books and can
understand better the force of Luke
x, 20; Rev. xx, 15. If not registered
on the Lamb’s book of life there is no
kingdom Mot us. But “whosoever
will” may Take the water of life free
ly, and “him that cometh” shall not
be cast out, so that all who have
heard may be registered if willing.
Vessels suggest people, for we are
spoken of as earthen vessels, and ves
sels meet for the Master’s use (II Cor.
iv, 7; II Tim. ii, 21), and we must be
as content to be earthen as to be sil
ver or gold, to be second sort as well
as first (chapter 1, 10, 11). Then in
verse 9 we read of nine and twenty
knives, and cutting thlr übound on
all sides, all for our good, and to man
ifest in these mortal bori< tue life of
Jesus Christ (Rom. via, 2s, 29).

Washington.—Miss Henrietta Vinton
Davis, regarded by competent critic*
as the foremost exponent of the legiti
mate drama, as far as the Negro race
is concerned, recently returned from a
tour of Bermuda, where she achieved
an artistic and social triumph, under
the direction of Miss Alberta L. Bur
gess of Kent Lodge, St. George’s, who
is a young woman of rare musical tal
ent and executive ability. While in
Bermuda Miss Davis appeared in all
of the principal cities and towns and
at every point was received with
marked cordiality. *
Delightful receptions were tendered
her by the people throughout her
Itinerary, and beautiful and valuable
presents were literally showered upon
her.
Queenly in bearing, broad In her
conception of the possibilities of the
dramatic art. possessing a resonant
voice and an engaging personality.
Miss Davis easily made an impression
that will not soon be forgotten. The
repertoire used covered a wide range
of dramatic literature, running the
gamut from Shakespeare’s “Lady
Macbeth” and the trial scene from
“The Merchant of Venice,” Parthenia
in “Ingomar,” Zingarella. the gypsy
queen, nnd the typical “folk lore” of
Paul Laurence Dunbar’s selections,
which attracted special attention.
While abroad Miss Davis staged
“East Lynne,” appearing in the dual
role of Lady Isabel and Mme. Vine,
supported by local talent. Arrange*
ments were made for the early pro
duction of W. Edgar Easton’s “Des
salines,” repeating her successes a*
Clarisse, in which part she displays het
rich attainments as an emotional ac
tress. Her wonderful versatility hi

evidenced by her lifelike impersona
tion of characters, male and female.
As Dominique Dessalines and Prince
Elon in “The Jewish Ruler” she has
appeared to excellent advantage, a
rather difficult undertaking for a wo
man.
Miss Davis has a history full of
striking incidents. She is a native
of Baltimore, but has made her
home for the most part In Washington.
She was the first colored clerk to be
employed In the office of the recorder
of deeds. She evinced at au early age
an aptitude for a stage career and was
trained under Miss Marguerite E. Sax
ton. She made her debut auspiciously
In Washington in 1883. being intro
duced to an immense audience by the
Hon. Frederick Douglass.
Success has crowned her efforts to
develop In the race a taste for the
standard creations of the dramatic art.
Miss Davis has perhaps done more
than any other woman of color to ex
emplify the capacity of the Negro for
the higher realm of the drama. She
has been one of the few to remain
loyal to the loftier ideals of her pro
fession. and the advanced position oc
cupied by the race in the dramatic
world today is due in no small meas
ure to the effective pioneer work of
this energetic pathfinder.
Miss Davis bas published an attrac
tive “Book of Recitations,’’ which pre
sents a varied array of standard selec
tions for tbe stage, the schoolroom
and tbe borne. Her plans for tbe fu
ture include a brief series of engage
ments In America, a return to Bermuda
and a visit to tbe West Indies, a tour
of Europe. Egypt. Liberia, the Gold
Coast of Africa and Cape Town.

spending tbe summer in New York in
the interest of tbe Paimer Memorial
institute at Seda I la. N. G., of which

tural director, is meeting with gratify
