SPIRITUAL FOOD.
BY VIM. stitts, international Bible
Student.

With modern meditation OF the
Scripture and an earnest hope and
faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, l shall
here attempt to make plain to you
the necessity of searching the Scrip
ture for spiritual food. We Outlines
take vain conceptions of others and
tradition of vainglory. Why should
we be carried away with the winds
of those false doctrines which are
clouds without rain and wells with
out water. 2 Pet. 2:17-1S. These
conceptions have no foundation. They
suppose that when Christ comes, he
will burn up the earth with literal
fire, and sinners will be running and
telling literal mountains to fall on
them. How dark is the conception
and statements that have been pro-
duced by our leaders. Notice how the
Apostle tells us how the heavens will
burn with fervent heat; it is the ear
nestness and zealousness Of God deal.
ing with imperfect things. The day
of judgment is a day of righteousness.
Acts 1871. This text is all symbolic
language. The heaven and the earth
are symbolic. Notice how il applies
to the order of things and not to lit
eral heaven and earth. The word

heaven here is controlling power)
which now is the earth symbolized-
human governments and societies and
all imperfect things shall pass away.
2 Pet. 3:6-12. Imperfect societies, i'm
perfect governments must give way to
the new order of things which will be
spiritual; and l saw a new heaven
and new earth; the first shall pass
away. Rev. 21:1-2. We will consider
n statement. The earth abides for
V Eccl. IA; and another state
ment, The Old World passes away at
the flood, not the ground nor the
heaven nor the air. 2 Pet. 3:6; but
the order of things. Ps. 104:5. We
will notice: The prophet tells us that
God laid the foundation of the earth
that it should not moved forever.
The prophet Qsa.) 45:1S, furnishes
another statement. God formed the
earth not in vain, but he created it
to be inhabited. Why should we up
pose that God will burn up the earth
when he made a promise to Abraham
that he would give him the land for
an everlasting inheritance, but Abra-
ham died without receiving the prom
Use. After he promised it to him, he
did not give it to him as much as to
set sthe sole of his foot. 1t is impos-
sible for God to lie. To rightly ap-
preciate this subject that is to under
stand G Id's dealing with Abraham he
must rise from the lead before he can
inherit the land which God PROMISED
him. Acts rs. He must rise from tine
dead aand receive 4 perfect human
body like Fathe' Adam possessed be-
fore he sinned. All the Just VINO died
before the death of Christ will dwell
on earth and God will make thom
princes on all the earth. Ps. 45:16.
They will not be members of the
Heavenly class. Heb. 11:3S-3S. They
will have earthly bodies for there is
an earthly body and there is a heav'
emily body. l Cor. 15:40. They shall
come from the north, south, east, west,
and shall sit down with all the pro
phets in the Kingdom of God. Notice
the Kingdoam is the earthly Kingdom
which Father Adam lost in Eden. No,
tice how God tells the Prophet Eek.
1875. The land that is desolate shat.
be as the Garden of Eden. The world
will once more be as it was when il
was created. A great mistake ha.

the Kingdom. The bride class ol

THE STEADY SUBSCRIBER.

How dear to our heart is the steady sub
scriber
Who pays in advance at his time of
each year,
Who lays down the money and does it
quite gladly,
And casts round the office a halo of
cheer.
He never says-"stop it, 1 cannot afford
it,
I'm getting more papers now than 1 can
read"
But always says-"Send it, our people all
like it
In fact we all thing it a help and a
need"
How welcome this when it reaches our
sanctum,
How it makes our pulse throb, how il
a our heart dance;
We outwardly thank him; we inwardlS
bless him

bA OGANANlo D. lI1OnIG SUN
There are many times as we plod
along the path of life, that we could
accomplish a whole lot of good, for
ourselves, and for others at well, if
we only had the forethought to act at
the proper time, and a deeper insight
into the things that make for our
better interests as citizens.
So often we hear the expression,
eff | had have known" or IF | had
have had a mind" to do this, or that,
| could have accomplished so much
more. But in most instances the fault
is our own; too many Of the people
are too easily satisfied; if they
achieve in small way, they are con-
tent to sit down and not labor for
further success.
The most important issue with us
at all times, should be punctuality.
Be always on time.
Be always on the job; it does not
matter that you have been success
full; do not be satisfied, but make
your success broader, and do not be
deceived, for this spirit of self-satis-
faction that siezes upon our ambi.
ton is a mighty monster, and has
been the cause of many a blighted
career.
1t is very necessary then, that we
always be as near the place where we
a do good, or be of service, as pos
sible; if we have done all the good
for urselves that we think we are in
need of, let's do what we can, for the
man or woman next to us.
There are so many times that we
see, as We go through life, where, if
the person next to us had have been
a few degrees further along the road,
they would have been able to have
gotten into the stream of success, but
because of their lack of proper exer-
else of judgment, they failed.
Here then, is a work for the indi-
vidual who feels that they have at
tanned to their full measure of sue
cess; help the other fellow along;
explain to him the Importance of get
ting a hustle on himself, and how
necessary it is to be at the gate on
time, and get in line.
This is our mission in life: To get
in a position as fast as we can, to
help ourselves, so we will be able to
help some one else; impress upon
others the duty of helping the next
person, which if done all along the
line, is sure to bring success.
Each morning brings to us our
! duty; as we go through life then, let
Us do our part each day. There are
many times when a kind word spok-
en-, will go further than money, bue
let's speak it in the right place, and
at the right time.
The little deeds of kindness seems
very small, but they shed a great deal
of sunshine into the dark corners of
the lives of those upon whom we be-
stow them. 1t is a beautiful thought,
to know at the end of the day, that
we have been he means OF making
some soul happy.
But if we would do u full duty to
our fellowman we must act 1T the
proper time; things that are done af.
ter a soul has persisted is too late
and can be of no avail.
Let us do then, each day, such as
u hands find to do, for tomorrow
may never come, and it is one f the
greatest woes to any soul, to think.
what might have been done.

The New Theatre, PAIL
Vine street, is absolutely the
finest and most upto date
motion picture house owned,
and operated by negroes, in
the United States. The
building is not a made-over
house, but was built strictly
for a theatre. Since the
acquisition of the place by
DR.. E. j. Met Campbell and
Homer B. Roberts, many
notable changes have been
made. Two coy corners at
the entrance have been in
augurated at no little ex-
pense. The one containing
a beautiful mirror, 4x9 feet,
framed in the finest mahog-
any, in which you might
"see yourself as others see
you" from your Easter bon
net down to your shoe tops.
On the floor in either corner
is a beautiful oriental rug
and the walls will be decor
ated with fine oil paintings
from the worlds famous
artists. The aisles have been
carpeted with heavy cocoa
nut mating and the exits
are garnished with heavy
green portiers. Also 400
opera chairs, every one com
handing a direct view Of
the curtain.
By far the biggest invest
ment in the theatre, cannot
be seen by the public, but
the result can surely be OBJ
served. When this place
was opened several months
ago, complaints came to the
ears of the management of
the delay between the pic
lures. To avoid this delay
$500 was spent for new ma
chimes, so that now one pic
ture follows another with
mechanical precision, with
out a moments delay. The
service is the best that can
possibly be procured. The
Universal Film Company is
the largest and most up-to-
date firm in the movie bust
ness. The same pictures are
shown to you for 5 cents
that the Maze theatre, at
18th and Baltimore, shows
to its patrons at 10 cents.
Your patronage is solicited.
If you enjoy motion pictures
you will be pleased if you
visit the New Theatre.

There is a reason why the larger

from the Arthur w. Harris Printing
Establishment. First their work
manship in this class of service Is
unexcelled by any of the larger and

ments in this city, since they all but
make a speciality of this class of
work. Second, while their prices are
not always the lowest, they are al
ways the fairest. They have "de-
livered'' with accuracy and despatch

quite a large number of Negroes did

1t Is Likely to Upset the Order
That Would Result With
Him in Dodger Lineup.
MAck's SPORTING LETTER

New York. Special: Very few base
ball fans realize how much difference
the jumping of Joe Tinker to the Fed
erals may make in the National league
pennant race Of 1914. It is likely to
upset the order that wouid result with
him in the lineup Of the Brooklyns.

They have a star outfield with Zach
Wheat, Carey Stengel Bill Collins and
others on deck. They own a pitching
staff OF ability with Nap Rucker, Ed
Reulbach, Pat Ragan, Bull Wagner.
leaders. Strength behind the bat is
supplied by Otto Miller and Bill
Fischer. And the infield Is a beauty
in three of the four positions, Jake
Daubert being In a class by himself at
first base, George Cutshaw ranking
baseman and Red Smith of the j. Car
Isle cognomen standing among the star
third basemen.
This bunch of talent, capable man
aged as should be the a s under Will
bert Robinson. bids fair to foot up as
we'll in the different positions as any
outfit in the circuit. To appreciate the
worth of Robinson, one needs only to
consider the coincidence that in 1904,
when Robby Joined the Giants as Nc
Graw's assistant. the local club won
the pennant n repeated when he was
on the job the following year; that
Robinson quit in 1906 and stayed re-
tired clear through 1910. in which
stretch the New Workers failed to
reach the top once. and. that in 1911
he rejoined McGraw and the Giant
forces then won three successive flags
with Uncle Wilbert doing the assistant
stunt.
1t will be noted that in the forego-
ing Brooklyn lineup no mention is
made of the man WHO will play short

team would nave perhaps the best man
