"Fifty Years From Appomattox."
Richmond, Va., May 17, 1915.
The second week ia May finds plana
for the twenty-fifth annual reunion
of the United Confederate Veterans,
scheduled to be held in Richmond,
June 1, 2 and 3, all but whipped into
perfect Bhape. Work of preparing
for the handling of the reunion and
the vast crowfls that are expected to
attend has been so thoroughly dis
tributed by the committee system
employed that Richmond will be
rea'Jy to receive the visitors weeks
before the actual- opening date.
The 1915 reunion, which comes
fi>ty years after the fall of Richmond
?nd the end of the War Between the
Sta'e*, is expected to be of the ut
liiiisi significance and solemnity. To
Richmond in June will come the
greatest gathering of survivors ol
the Coufederate arms that haa per
haps ever been seen. With them
will come thousands of visitors, rela
tives, and curiosity i-eekera, who will
find much of interest during the week
to repay them for the trip.
Acceptances from many Southern
Governors of the invitations to at
tend the reunion as the guests of the
Confederates have been received.
The presence of so many State ex
ecutives will lend much to the im
portance of the occasion. President
Wilson's reply to the invitation of
the general committee is still in
obeyance. That he also will attend
is the expectation of those in charge
of the reunion.
Richmond, almost to the last man,
is animated with the desire to make
the twenty-fifth reunion the greatest
event in the memory of the old Con
federates. For one week the great
city will be turned over to the visi
tors in strict truth. Each person
seems determined that business and
private affairs are to give place to
the greater duty of entertaining the
reunion.
Great plans have been made for
the decoration of the city and of the
Court of Honor, in particular. The
Court of Honor is to be located at
Lee Circle, in Monument Avenue a
situation ideally suited to such a pur
pose. Brick and mortar in all Rich
mond is to be covered with flags and
bunting during the first week in
June and the city will indeed pre
sent a beautiful appearance.

Class Day exercises at 2p. m.

of Elon's 25th Commencement. The

by the largest enrollment yet at
tained, exceeding the 400* unit.
"From now i on attention will be
given to internal development
rather than to increase the num
bers", seems to be the prevail
ing sentiment in official circles.
The belief in the efficient, small
college, definitely Christian, is the
chief article in Elon's educational
creed.

from each Society, will speak fot
the Representatives Medal.

London.---Tbe American note to Ger
many and the ww turn in the Italia i
situation resulting from the resigna
tion of Prejuier Calandra and his Cat
-1 lnet overshadow other features of the
war news.
| The firm attitude the American
I Government has taken over Ger
-1 many's submarine action baa met
i with the highest approval hero and
| the question now is not what the
| United States will do, but "what will
■ Germany's answer be?"
It 1b believed In high official clrclea
here that Germany will not agree to
reverse her submarine blockade policy,
and the donclusion Is drawn that the
United States will be compelled to
sever diplomatic relations with her."
The hope Is everywhere expressed
that the United States will not be
drawn Into war, as it is considered by
observers of the situation that she la
of greater assistance to the Allies as
a neutral than she would be aB a bel
ligerent.
The Italian situation Is badly con
fused. Resignation of Premier Sa
landra's Cabinet, It Is believed, must
delay Italy's action over the war, and
Jt Is thought that nothing in this re
spect will be decided upon until after
the Chamber of Deputies meets next
week, unless In the meantime King
Victor Emmanuel Induces the Govern
ment to retain office, which step the
Premier might take as assurance of
the people's confidence in his policy.
Meanwhile tbe belligerents on both
the East and West fronts are engaged
In most momentous battles. The
French, who already have gained poss
ession of what was thought to be Im
pregnable German' positions north of
Arras, are reported to be continuing
their victorious advance while the
British are assertod to be holding a
large force of Germans In their front
and repulsing all German attention to
reach Ypres, which has proved the
graveyard of so many thousands of
men since the opposing lines were
establlshtd there last Autumn.
ENGLAND BLAMES OFFICIALS.
Demand That German .Government 8s
Held Personslly Responsible.
London. —Riots which occurred re
cently have given place to condemna

Emperor and his advisors, who are
charged wjth responsibility for actions
which have aroused public anger.
The demand Is made that Great Brit
ain publicly proclaim the personal
responsibility of members of the Ger
man Government for "the outrages
perpetrated by Gorman officers or
their agents during the present war."
A resolution In this sense offered at
a public meeting In Chelsea by Lord
Charles Beresford was unanimously
passed.

Queenstow n.—The Identlflcation of
10 of the 16 dead picked up during
the night by the Dutch tug Poolzee,
chartered by the Cunard Company, 20
miles west of the spot where the Lusl
tanla WAS sunk, was the only Incident
tending to relieve the depressing
routine. *
Among the 16 dead brought In by
the tug only two were the bodies of
Americans—Mrs. Stewart Ma«on of
Boston and Mm. Delia Condon, wife
of Terence Condon of Now York The
American Consul claimed both and
will «end tlem to the UnllSd S ales.
Then bodies from Baltlmoreund two
from Castletowniend we're expected to
arrive at Queenstown In the a'ter
noon on the tug Flying Fog, but an
obdurate coroner Insisted on a for
mal Inquest before releasing them and
It was doubtful when the bodies would
reach here. At the delay, Alfred
Gwynne Vanderhllt's I'ngllsh secre
tary, Webb Wado, entered a ylgorotia
protest, saying he would motor to
Baltimore, If he could expedite mat
ters; yet he hesitated to tako the
trip, fearing to pass the bodies,
which might be started for Queens
town at tiny moment.
There is considerable Indignation
among some o fthe survivors, who
say that full measure* to recover the
floating dead have not been adopted
but the Cunard officials Insist that It
is almost Impossible to charter tugs
or motor craft, as all of them have
been commandeered by the British
admiralty.
There are plenty of British war
craft avnllahle for the search but It
Is considore I tbr.t it would be Inviting
submarine attacks to cruise around
the scene of the disaster.
The Poolzee went as far south as
Capo Clear and returned with quanti
ties of .the I.usitanla's light deck
furniture. A misty rain was falling
when the tug landed the dead. A
small crowd stood uncovered as the
bodies were carried Into the Cunard
offices.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. *
Text of th« Lesson, II Bam. it, 1-7t v,
1-8— Memory Versos, v, 2, 3—Golden
Text, Ps. xxviii, 7—Commentary Pre
pared by Rev. D. M. Btearns.
Id tbe two portions assigned for Oil I
lessou we have tbe record of David' i
second and third anointings over
Judah and over all Israel (11, 4; r,
8), tbe first anointing being at tlu
hands of Samuel (I Sam. xvl, 13). - A ■» ■
all anointings are suggestive of t j
work of tbe Iloly Spirit and of Him .
whom Qod anointed with tbe Holy
Ghost and with power (Acts x; &->»,
who also anoints and seals tbe bellevt r'
with the Holy Spirit (II Cor. i, 21, 22),
we will turn for a few minntes to the
other lesson for today In I Cor. xli,
1-13 to notice tlyt no one can say that
Jesus is the I/Ord, bnt by the Holy
Spirit, and that by tbe same Spirit
each believer receives gifts for gervka
as the Spirit sees lit; to every man ac
cording to bis no vera I ability, to every
man bis work (Matt xxv, 15; Mark
XIU, 34). As our Lord Jesus Christ, the
son of David, Is waiting for His king
dom, when He will occupy the throno
of David, so ail true believers, anoint* .1
kings and priests, associates of Htm
who shall be a priest upon Ills throne,
tbe true Melcbtzedek, are waiting with
Him and for Him, the Father's
right bund and we in tbe conflict hero
(Luke 1. 32, 33; Rev. I, 5, 6; Zech. vi, 13;
Gen. xlv, 18; Pa. cx, 1, 4). While we
wait It Is our privilege to suffer with
Him and to serve Him In any way or
place which He may uMgii to us,
knowing that the glory[of Hla king
dom will abundantly recompense for
•11 suffering or service dlrlng the little
while of waiting, ltetiynlug to our
leason In Samuel, we notethat, though
Saul was dead, tbe rule over all laruel
did not come to David at once, but in
Hebron over Judah for seven yean
and then In Jerusalem over all Israel
and Juduh for thirty-three yean (chap
ter v, 6).
We may find an analogy In the com
lug of tbe kingdom of our Lord Jesus
Christ when all tbe kingdoms of this
world shall have become His (B«v. xi,
15), and we may then see mors clearly
the significance of David's three anoint'
Ings. 6 -
We cannot help noting David's la
mentation over Saul and Jonathan,
with Its thrice repeated "How an ths
mighty fallen!" (II Sam. i, 18, 25, 27).
How he could say that Saul and Jona
than were lovely and pleasant In their
lives I do not know unleas on the sams
principle that God did not see Iniquity
in Jacob nor perverseneas in Israel
(Num. xxlll. 21), gtici covering up the
wrong. ' We can more easily under
stand how David could say of Jona
than, "Thy love to me was wonderful,
passing the love of women" (1, 38),
and that leaift us to tbe greatest love
that waa ever seen or known— the lovo
of God In Christ Jesus to sinner*
(Rom. v. 8; John 111, 10; I John ill, 10;
Iv. 10). Soe David's habit of inqntrln,-
of tbe I-ord concerning guidance in alt_l
matters of tbe kingdom (11, 1; ▼, 10, 23;
also I Hum. xxlll, 2, 4; xxx, 8), remind
ing us of some of tbe good advice of
bis son, Solomon, "In nil thy ways ac
knowledge Him, and He shall direct
thy paths" (I'rov. 111, 0).
Although David knew that the king
dom was now his. be would not do
anything without tbe Lord's guidance
as to when and where. At tbe Lord's
command be went to Hebron with h' i
own and his faithful followen' house
holds, and there the men of Jodnh
anointed him king over the house of
Judah. See tbe story of Hebron la
connection with Abraham and Isaac
and Caleb, and let us learn to Itve In
fellowship with God. David's words
to the men of Jabesh-gilead arc for
us also, that we may be strong and
valiant for-God (11, 7). The Intervening
chapters lit our lesson story tell of the
opposition to David by tbe bouse of
Saul, hut Hint David waxed stronger
and - stronger and tbe house of Saul
weaker aud weaker (111, 1). In our
present conflict It cannot be said that
the devil Is waxing weaker and weak
er, for his greatest effort will be Just
before bis flnal overthrow, but in duo
time be wilt be overthrown, and Jesus
Christ sbnll reign (Ps. Ixxll, 11).
After David became king over all
Israel It Is written that "David went
on and grew great (went going and
growings uiurgiii), and the Lord God°
of ho-ts was with him" (v, 10). That
the l.onl was with him Is- repeated
agulu and agnln lu his story (I Sam.
ivL IK; xvlll. 12, 14, 28) and reminds
us of this blessed assurance to Isaac,
Jacob, Muses, Joshua, Gideon and oth
ers find of Ills word to all who go
fortti liT Ills name- as His messengers
(Gen. ixvl, 3; xxvdl. 15; Ex. 111,12;
josh. 1. 5; Judg. vi, 10; I so. xli. 10;
Hag. It, 4, 5; Matt, xxviii. 20). The
Lord's presence does not Insure us
freedom from sll adversaries, but It
does assure us of victory over them.
Dsvld had to say concerning some
with whom he had to deal, "I am this
day weak, though anointed king, and
these men. tbe sons of Zernlab, are
too hard for me" (ill. 30). Compare
Num. xl, 14; I Kings >tx, 7; Pa. xxxr,
10; txxlll. Id, aud then thank God that
nothing is too bard for Him (Gen. xvlll,
14; Jer. xxxii. 17). and roll all cares
and hardens upon Him, and trust Him
to carry you and them. All real work
tor God must be by the Spirit of God,
and when He is In control wo will
fear no mountain nor despise any small
things (Zach. tvV
