Now that the battle of the ballots
is over I desire to thank you for the
assistance given and the courtesies
shown me in the “TWIN CITY
STAR” during my entire campaign
Although unsuccessful in election, we
made an excellent showing; and the
active and unanimous support of our
people in my behalf, demonstrated
that the Negro can and will unite in
one common cause for the uplift and
betterment of his race. The trail is
blazed for the next time and may suc
cess crown the efforts of the next
man who tries.

IN MEMORIAM
BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.
BORN 1857, DIED NOV. 14TH 1915.
In silent sadness, as the funeral train bore off
The lifeless body of him, who had suffered and passed.
Many nations mourned the Rreat Educator’s loss,
As he was conveyed to his eternal resting place at last.
Hfs life’s work was finished, his time had come,
As is the fate for all, both young and old,
The death knell had tolled, God’s will was done,
May Heaven ever keep his Immortal soul.
He had no advantage of training in college.
His intellectual powers, no man could well dispute,
With a mighty struggle, he attained his knowledge,
And gave his life to his race in Tuskegee Institute.
His death was the curse of fate upon his race;
We know not his destiny, nor did he.
May God speed the work of him who takes his place,
To serve us as did our noble Booker T.
A great deed of man here on earth,
To kindred minds a historic event gives,
His was nature’s true immortal birth,
Some deeds die, but this man’s great work lives.

THE TWIN CITY STAR
SUNDAY SCHOOL
Lesson Vll.—Fourth Quarter, For
Nov. 12, 1916.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Rom. xiv, 13, to xv,
3—Memory Verse, xiv, 16, 17—Qolden
Text, Rom. xiv, 21—Commentary Pre
pared by Rev. D. M. Stearne.
This is called a temperance lesson
and is no doubt intended to be used as
an exhortation and a warning against
the use of Intoxicants, a most impor
tant topic, and a line of service on
which we cannot do too much, but
when I consider the intemperate peo
ple who are so often prominent in what
is called temperance work 1 feel in
creasingly the need of getting at the
root of the matter rather than prescrib
ing for symptoms. The words “tem
perance” and “duty” are seldom used
in the Scriptures, not over six or seven
times in each in the whole Bible, and
the meaning of temperance is self con
trol in every form (Acts xxiv, 25; I Cor.
lx, 25; Gal. v, 23; II Pet. i. 6). As in
Paul’s talk with Felix and verse 17 of
our lesson, righteousness comes first.
In 1 Cor. vi, 9, 10, where the drunkard
is mentioned among other gross sin
ners, the opening sentence is “The un
righteous shall not inherit the kingdom
of God.”
The great topic of this espistle is
righteousness, the word being used at
least thirty-flve times and fifteen of
these in chapters iv and x. As in
i, 17. it is the righteousness of God,
that which God requires, and has pro
vided fully and freely in Christ, but
which men object to, preferring their
own filthy rags of self righteousness,
character, reformation, duty and the
like (Isa. lxiv, 6; Rom. x, 8). There Is
no possible way for any one, drunken
or sober, moral or immoral, but to
plead guilty, according to chap, iii, 19,
and be Justified freely by grace (lii, 24);
then will come the peace and Joy of
being Justified by faith (xiv, 17; xv, 13),
and the patience and comfort of the
Scriptures (xv, 4-6). It is no use to ap
peal to any kind of a sinner to do right,
for until born again by receiving Christ
all are said to be “in the flesh," merely
“natural" people, and cannot please
God (John i, 12. 13; Rom. viii, 7. 8).
When Christ Is received as a personal
Saviour and our righteousness, then
we are said to be “in the Spirit,” and
by the Spirit we may be led, control
led, live and make no provision for the
flesh or its lusts (Rom. xiil, 14; Gal.
v, 16-25). Salvation, of which the first
eight chapters of this letter tell us ao
fully, is the free gift of God for all
who will receive it, or rather Him
(Rom. vi, 23; Rev. x'xl, 6; xxii. 17). and
there are no differences nor degrees,
for all who are in Christ have all the
benefits of His finished work and are
equally saved and delivered from the
wrath to come (I Thess. 1, 10). Now.
as saved people, we are supposed to
have done with self and walk in His
steps who never pleased Himself, but
always pleased the Father und lived
and died to save others (Rom. xiv.
7; xv, 3; Tet. ii, 21-23; John viii, 29;
Gal. ii, 20). If we thus had the good
of others at heart Instead of our own
selfish ends we would not talk of
eating or drinking what we pleased re
gardless of others’ infirmities.
We are here to win others to Christ
and then to help build them up In
Him, rooted and grounded In love and
filled with all the fullness of God for
service here and an abundant en
trance Into His kingdom by and by
(zlv, 19; Eph. 111, IG-20; II Pet. 1, 5-11).
Although all believers are accepted In
the beloved, washed, sanctified and
Justified and made meet to be par
takers of His Inheritance (Eph. 1,0, 7:
I Cor. vl, 11; Col. 1, 12). we are left
here for service and good works, for
which every one of us shall give ac
count of himself to God at the Judg
ment seat of Christ, where only saved
people shall be. and there our service
shall be approved and rewarded, or
else burned up and we suffer loss (rlv,
7-12; I Cor. 111, 11-15). The service
which will be rewarded will be that
which He has wrought In us by His
Spirit, according to Phil. 11, 13; Heb.
xiil. 21. We cannot expect that any
thing we do of ourselves that la not
His working In us will have His ap
proval.
When I was off duty for eleven
weeks a little over three years ago be
cause of heart .failure, which many
thought would take me home, nothing
gave more comfort In my weakness as
I lay In bed than Rom. xlv. 8: “Wheth
er we live, we live unto the Lord, and
whether we die. we die unto the Lord.
Whether we live, therefore, or die. we
are the Lord’s.” It is possible so to
abandon ourselves to Him for life or
death, for service or suffering, that
His perfect will shall be everything to
ns, and our heart song shall be. “Not
I. but Christ: “Not 1. but the grace of
God” (Gal. 11. 20: I Cor. xv. 10) This
will keep us sc* occupied with Himself
that we shall not see others except to
help them and wl'l make us so sensi
tive to what Ho likes or dislikes that
we shall not wish to allow that which
He would condemn.
Forevermore, beside us on our wny.
The unseen Christ doth move.
That we may lean upon His nrm and am
Dost Thou, dear Lord, approve?
The kingdom to which wo are has
tenlng and which cannot come till Fie
comes. If It tills our soul’s vision, will
lift us above all such matters »s eating
and drinking, and Is there any harm
In this or that, and our acceptable serv
ice of Christ will lie manifestly right
eousness and peace and Joy In the
Holy Ghost (xtv, 17, 18).
