PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY THE AFRICAN AMERICAN MARYLAND'S BEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER CONFERENCE ON NEGRO MIGRATION ARE MAKING GOOD New York, January 30.—The Conference on Negro Migration held last Friday afternoon and evening at the Russell Sage Foundation Building, under the auspices of the National League on Urban Conditions among Negroes furnished an excellent opportunity for the leaders of thought on the problems of Negroes in cities to reach an understanding as to methods to be used in meeting the social needs of the Negro migrants. of the Some of those addressing the conference and leading in the discussion were: Frederick C. Howe, U. S. Commissioner of Immigration; George F. Hayes, executive secretary National Urban League; John T. Enlen, secretary; Armstrong Association of Philadelphia; E. J. Triny, Jr., special agent of the Erie Railroad; Miss Helen B. Pendleton, assistant secretary Associated Charities of Newark; C. T. Erwin, agent Negro Organization Society, Virginia; Forrester B. Washington, director Detroit League on Urban Conditions among Negroes; John J. Murphy, tenement house commissioner, representing Mayor Mitchel; Oswald Garrison Villard, publisher New York Evening Post; William H. Baldwin, 3rd of the New York Evening Post; Hollis B. Prissell, principal Hampton Institute; J. H. Hatt, assistant secretary Savannah League on Urban Conditions among Negroes, second deputy police commissioner; Lawrence B. Dunham, Jr., editor city Dr. R. Wright, Jr., editor Christian Recorder, officer woman of the A. M. E. Church and E. K. Jones, executive secretary National Urban League. Professor Kelly Miller, Dean of the College of Arts and Science, Howard University, and vice president of the College presided at the afternoon session and L. Hollingworth Wood, president of the National Urban League, at the evening session. Mr. E. K. J. Triary, Jr., of the Erie Railroad, said the Erie Railroad has employed a large number of the Negro migrants and are still in need of more because of the abnormal state of labor conditions in this part of the country. He said it is altogether unfair that the Southern states should enforce laws prohibiting the moving of labor from their borders when there are railroads all over this country that would pay good wages to these laborers. Mr. Jackson, from Lukens Steel and Iron Works, Contestville, Pa., in speaking of the employees of the company stated: "We have a large number of Negroes recently arrived from the South, and are giving them the best we have in the way of advice, counsel, and ideas of how to make a mark in the world. The men are making larger wages than they ever did before, and are making good." Templeton House Commissioner Murphy smoke intercepted on-board ships for Negroes in New York City, and said that: "I don't know what program this association might be considering. It is the essential and fundamental thing that food, clothing and shelter are the fundamental needs of humanity, and if the standards of housing are not kept up, it almost inevitably follows that the conditions of the people who live in these houses have a tendency to retrograde." Dr. Hollis B. Frissel, speaking on "The Negro's Industrial Opportunity" said in part: "Tooker Washington said the colored people were the only ones to come to this country by special invitation; that they were our guests. I think that this is true and that for this reason the white people of this country ought especially to look after the colored race. There is another reason for it. Every once in a while we have commissioners coming from Italy to look after Italians; some one comes from Japan to look after the Japanese, but no one ever comes from the "dark continent" to look after the representatives of the colored race. Because that is so, it is especially encumebent upon the representatives of the white race that they look after their brethren in black. They have not the opportunity to look out for themselves." Dr. I. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, official organ of the A. M. E. Church, opened the discussion, and said in part: "Colored people do not know their economic power and the white people will not admit it. When they leave, their very moving, although unorganized, proves both to the Negro and to the white man that the Negro is an essential factor in the development of the South. It further proves to the thoughtful Negro if all of this sir can be made by an unorganized race movement, what can be done by an organized movement." In concluding the program, E. K. Jones, executive secretary of the Urban League, proposed a plan for organizing work in cities through the country: Such movements to aid the migrating Negroes to adjust themselves to their new environment and in improving the conditions of Negroes in the South. The following resolutions were adopted: Negroes are migrating to the North in unprecedented numbers and are preparing to come in greater numbers in the spring. They are attracted by the larger wages offered and by the opportunities to enjoy larger personal, political and civil freedom. In some sections of the South, they stand in constant dread of personal violence and are leaving to escape oppression. This Conference of Negro Migration, assembled under the auspices of the National League on Urban Conditions among Negroes, wishes to go on record as believing:— 1. That the time is the time of all times for Negroes of the South and whites of the South to arrive at a better understanding of each other and of the value of the two races to each other. 2. That the Negroes' industrial opportunities in the North are unusual; that Northern employers are securing and can secure Negro labor, dependable, loyal, constant American labor and that this labor should not be abused or exploited, but should be cured for as well as any other labor. 3. That, although thousands of Negroes in excess of the normal migration have left the South since April last and more are to follow, still the great mass of the Negro population of the United States will remain in the Southland. Therefore be it resolved: 1. In the South:—That wherever possible, whether in the city or rural community, organizations be formed with the following purposes:— (a) To foster good feeling between the two races. (b) To study the health, school and work needs of the Negro population. (c) To develop agencies and stimulate activities to meet those needs. (d) By training and health protection to increase the industrial efficiency of Negroes and to encourage a fairer attitude toward Negro labor especially in regard to hours, conditions and regularity of work and standard of wages. (e) To increase the respect for law and the orderly administration of justice. 2. In the North:—That similar organizations be formed or existing organizations urged to take action which in addition to the purposes already mentioned, shall seek to instruct the Negro migrants. (a) As to the dress, habits and methods of living necessary to withstand the rigors of the Northern climate. (b) As to the efficiency, regularity and application demanded of workers in the North. (c) As to the danger of denling or going with unscrupulous or vicious persons and of frequenting questionable resorts. (d) As to the opportunities offered by the towns and cities of the North in schools, hospitals, police protection and employment. (e) As to facilities offered by the church, Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. and other organizations.

EARL JOHNSON RUNS FINE RACE EARL JOHNSON RUNS FINE RACE The following from the Philadelphia Inquirer tells the fine showing made by K. Earl Johnson in the recent five mile run of the Northwest Boys' Club: "The man who finished second to Kephart, was Robert Earl Johnson, of Baltimore, in the South Atlantic Division. Johnson is a speedy colored lad who was forced to run his very best yesterday, as he received a severe penalty from the officials because he had neglected to mention any details of his past performances in making out his entry blank. When he was recognized by some of the other contestants he was set back considerably by the official handicapper. But in spite of this handicap, Johnson showed a clean pair of heels to some of Philadelphia's best amateur runners and managed to get third time prize." Baltimoreans will remember Johnson as the speedy runner sporting the colors of Morgan College, who walked away with the first prize in the Afro-American marathon races in the past two years. DEATH OF AN OLD RESIDENT Miss Charlotte Frances Johnson, a member of an old Baltimore family, died at the residence of hr sister, Mrs. Cabell Calloway, 1017 Druid Hill avenue Monday. For a number of years Miss Johnson had been active in the work of Grace Presbyterian Church and other uplift agencies. Dr. John M. Johnson, the dentist, is a brother of the deceased. Funeral services were held at Grace Presbyterian Church Wednesday. MRS. HAZELTON DEAD Mrs. Annie E. Hazellon, a well known nurse, died at her late home, 1419 Argyle avenue, Thursday, after a brief illness. She had never felt well since the sudden dath of her husband George T. Hazelton, some months ago. Two daughters, Mrs. A. H. Lee, and Mrs. Bertha Brooks; and one brother, David T. Harrod, survive. Funeral services at her late home this Sunday at p. m. BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1917 NEGRO BAITERS OPPOSE Y.M.C.A. Property on McCulloh St. Mostly Occupied by Tenement Class A tempest in a tentup aptly describes the rumpus that has been raised by a number of white women over the placing of the Young Men's Christian Association at the corner of Dolphin and McCulloh streets. A committee of women went to the School Board and presented a petition protesting against the erection of the Y. M. C. A. Building at the corner of Dolphin and McCulloh streets, giving as a reason that it would be unpleasant and disagreeable for the white girls who attended the Western Femal High School, to pass a building occupied by colored men, and also that colored people in the building would tend to depreciate property values in the neighborhood. They claim that the placing of the building at that corner violates the spirit if not the letter of the law. The petition of the protestants was placed in his hands of the Committee on Architecture of the School Board. On Wednesday, the committee visited the Mayor and placed the petition before him. The petitioners represent only a very small percentage of the property owners in the neighborhood of the proposed building. It is significant that Mr. Francis White, one of the largest property owners in that section, owing most of the 1400 block of McCulloh street, was not approached by the petitioners. Mr. White is not only one of the richest men in Baltimore, but he is a broad-minded Christian gentleman. He is the president of the Young Men's Christian Association, and was aware of and in favor of the purchase of the property. The representatives of the Y. M. C. A., before purchasing the property for the building, went carefully into the status of the segregation law, and it is said that they had assurances from Mayor Preston and City Solicitor Field that the placing of the building at the corner of Dolphin and McCulloh streets would not violate any existing law. Just why a one hundred thousand building of the type proposed by the Y. M. C. A. would depreciate property in a neighborhood composed principally of rooming houses, is hard for one to understand, and the colored people as well as a number of whites are of the opinion that such a building would enhance rather than depreciate values. At one time the lower end of McCullough street was occupied by a wealthy class of white people, but they have all long since moved away, and the houses have been converted into enclosures of the lower order. In any number of these houses a large number of families have been crowded until now McCullough street from Lanceau to Biddle street has taken on the appearance of a ghetto. The only building in the neighborhood kept in any sort of repair, from outside appearances is the handsome Pythian Castle Hall, which is owned by the colored Knights of Pythias. While no action has been taken by the board of directors of the colored association, a number of members of the board have individually expressed themselves as being opposed to giving up the site. Preparing for a National Tournament A national tennis tournament will be held in this city from August 27th to September 1st next. Arrangements for the same were perfected at a meeting of the executive committee of the recently organized American Tennis Association, held at the residence of Mr. Ralph V. Cook, 406 Presstman street, last Saturday. Tennis enthusiasts in Washington, Wilmington, Philadelphia, New York, Alexandria, Chicago, Los Angeles and other cities have signified their intention of trying to capture one of the trophies that will be offered at the meet. At Saturday's meeting, Tally Holmes, the present national champion, was an interested participant. The entertainment of visiting tennis enthusiasts will be looked after by the Monumental Tennis Association, Winfort Excauton, president. The officers of the American Tennis Association are: President, Dr. H. S. McCard, Baltimore; James T. Howard, Philadelphia, vice president; Tally Holmes, Washington, treasurer; Ralph V. Cook, secretary; executive committee, William Bunch, Los Angeles; R. Beecher Costa, Waterbury, Conn.; A. C. Haines, Wilmington, Del.; D. O. W. Holmes, Baltimore; G. F. Norman, Flashing, N. Y., and E. M. Pollard, Howard, University, Washington. Over Two Thousand At Hospital Benefit The largest audience ever assembled in the Richmond Market Armory was present last Tuesday evening when a minstrel performance and dance was given for the benefit of Provident Hospital. There were just two thousand two hundred and twenty-seven persons present and when the hall closed at one o'clock or thereabout, persons leaving met others who were just on their way to augment the number. Long before the minstrel performance was scheduled to take place, the crowd began to gather and when at pine o'clock, St. Katharine's Minstrels marched out on the stage to the tune of "Walking the Dog" over one thousand and persons were in the hall. Notwithstanding the difficulty and disadvantages under which the minstrels worked, they gave a very creditible performance, and while only a few were able to hear the jokes of the funny end men, the music, which was of a very high order, was thoroughly enjoyed by all, as was evinced by the numerous encores. The solists were Messrs. Beavers, J. Nelson Fortune, Marcellus Walker, Frank J. Sorrell, Harry Wade, E. P. Moore and C. H. Wright. The Choruses were directed by Mr. Winfort J. Braxton and Mr. Herbert N. Frisby was the accompanist. As soon as the minstrels left the stage, the floor was cleared. Kerr's and Rochester's Orchestras were placed in the middle of the hall and the dance was on. Those who wished to take no part in the terpsichorean pot poulied themselves to the galleries and watched the gay revellers. Professors Ernest Purvince and James Wise had charge of the dancing. The affair which was given under the auspices of the staff of the hospice and a number of citizens, with the cooperation of the minstrels, was a process from every standpoint. Dr. H. S. McCard was chairman of the committee and Dr. Harry F. Brown, superintendent of the hospital. TRYING FOR Y. M. C. A.

A friend of Frederick Douglass once asked him if he felt terribly humiliated and resentful toward the conductor, who asked him into a "Jim Crow" coach. "No," replied the great Marylander, "I feel just as if I had been kicked by a jackass." Few years after emancipation it was predicted that the Negro like the Indian would vanish from the face of America within a century. Last week a Chicago woman came forward with figures to show that if the present rate of increase continues, the blacks will outnumber the whites in two hundred years. If the lowly Nazarene should come to New York in the shape of a colored citizen, he would have an especially hard time among his churches in Harlem. Twelve of the largest churches in the Harlem district are attempting to establish zones of prominent social families around them in order to prevent colored people moving in their neighborhood. German orators are in the habit of speaking of the Fatherland's place in the sun. Evidently Miss Nannie B. Burroughs, president of the National Training School for Women, borrowed this figure in an address at the dedication of the Dunbar High School in Washington, of which she is a graduate. Miss Burroughs urged the teachers "to lift up the race until it touched the sunlight of Almighty God, building a service and civilization for God and humanity." Mary Baily' and John Welch not only could not be married under the intermarriage law of Georgia, but Mary might have been lynched, had they remained in the South, for exercising some undue "influence" over a self respecting white man. So they came to Philadelphia all the way from the ill-famed state of Georgia and sought a minister, in order "to marry and live happily ever after." --- The Maryland League for National Defense got some of the same sort of stue last week President Wilson handed to W. Monroe Trotter a year or so ago, when he spoke rather plaintly to His Majesty. Mr. Trotter can at least congratulate himself that he is not the only one President Wilson has castigated. Another evidence of the growth of prohibition is seen in the fact that the maps now show the several darkly shaded "wet" states against a solid white background. At the present rate, the whole country, even the large cities, is expected to go dry in ten years. TESKEGEE CONFERENCE How important a matter public health is was illustrated by Prof. Monroe N. Work before the Farmers' Conference at Tuskegee during the week. Prof. Work estimated that the prevention of death among Negroes would increase the South's working population by 100,000 each year; that 450,000 Negroes were all the time; that sickness and death cost yearly $100,000,000, and that half of this amount could be saved. The two great scourges were said to be tuberculosis and malaria. The former is said to cost the South annually enough to establish 3,500 factories which would employ 700,000 persons. Professor Work figures that 600,000 of the present population will die from this disease, and at least 25 per cent of this number could with proper methods of health control, be saved. Maturin is said to be next in costiness to the South, afflicting more than 100,000 persons each year and reducing in large measure the economic efficiency of large numbers of workmen. The total loss to the South because of ill health of the colored population is that to be a sum approximating $300,000,000, enough to provide good school houses and schooling for every white and black child for twelve months in the year. The conclusion of the matter, said the Professor is that it would pay the country to invest $160,000,000 every year in improving the Negro health. Dr. Motton, principal of Tuskegee, who had the last word, stated his belief that there is no better gospel than that which its people to live properly here and now, and that it is a waste of time to educate men and women to have them die in a few years from preventable diseases. That is more important theology or religion than that of living decently. I am more worried about the here than the hereafter. I know if men and women live as they should here they need have no fear of what shall happen to them in the hereafter." Dr. Moton's advice to the people of his neighborhood to remain in the South, which was repeated at the recent Conference, and the incident last year, when he is said to have defended the railroad company, which ejected his wife from a sleeping car, have caused some people to doubt the wisdom and judgment of Booker T. Washington's successor on questions of social or economic propriety. With his last speech Dr. Moton enters the ranks of moralists, and to the Afro-American it seems that he is on solid ground. In Clarksdale, Mississippi, colored men are said to have purchased 100 autos since the harvesting of the cotton crop. Clearly here are some people who will not be thrown into Jim Crow railroad coaches soon. General Smuts, commander of the English South African forces fighting against the German East African Colonials just returned to Pretoria, South Africa, the other day after what he says was the "hardest campaign in the history of the world." The young South Africans at the outset, he said, that they could easily conquer the black troops, but they soon revised their opinions, and his fellow officers declared they had never fought against better or braver troops than these German blacks. At the outbreak of the war, the German had nothing but contempt for other European soldiers; the English were "clerks," the French would never be able to "stand up under the German baynet," and the Russians were only "berbarians." No later than last year England discouraged the enlistment of certain colored Canadians, although the frightful losses of the same campaign have caused her to change her mind and make use of these colored men, as well as laborers from the African Kattirland. France is the only country that had any thing that approached respect for the fighting qualities of the black man. O tempora, o mores, which is interpreted to mean, how times do change. One of the great lessons of the war to the Europeans is the increased regard they are gaining for each other, and the increased respect of all of them for the prowess of the African. The war will do more to bring about universal brotherhood than anything that has happened during the past century, not excepting the American preachment of emancipation. DR. DuBOIS The serious illness of Dr. DuBois, editor of the Crisis, has led some of his friends to think what it would mean if he were not permitted to live. Air J. E. Spingarn, associated with Dr. DuBois in the work of the N. A. A. C. P., knows that others would take up the work where he laid it down; others write as brilliantly, and speaks with as much eloquence, but yet none could fill his place. "What the colored people need most of all is not money, or land, or political power, or patronizing friends, but unpermanent leaders—leaders who would not sell their souls for the good will of their neighbors or for big buildings, any more than they would for a gullor or a job." Fortunately Dr. DuBois is on the mind and his friends need no longer think what they would do without him. It is not, however, ill-timed to consider just the value of such a spokesman as the editor of the Crisis, while he lives. No one is totally blind to the faults of the Doctor, but Mr. Spingarn is a thousand times right in believing that we have in Dr. DuBois the most forceful and uncompromising advocate of the social, political and economic equality of the darker peoples since Frederick Douglass. ON FATHER There are very few people, who have not a tribute to pay and usually a high tribute to their mothers. Fathers, on he other hand, are so often passed over, that it is refreshing to hear that a Howard Freshman in an autobiographical essay on "Who I Am, and Why I Came to College," written with more than the usual clearness of the ordinary Freshman has the following to say about his father: "My father belongs to that type of men who would allow nothing but implicit abdience from his children and yet he was never too far removed from them to be able to play with them. Being a druggist, he carried the neatness and the thoroness so characteristic of that profession into everything he did. To early undertook to teach me to hip him. I shall never forget my first lesson in wrapping a parcel; he made me wrap, unwrap and rewrap it until I wrapped it to satisfy his critical eye. He never eidowed me with a fortune; he gave me as he had; but he did for me one thing which is more valuable than money—he had for me the foundation for a good moral life. "Just as I entered my teens he gave me three books to read: 'Almost a Man,' 'Child's Conscience,' and 'Teaching Truth,' all by Dr. Mary Wood-Allen. The influence of these books has been lusting. I learned to appreciate myself more and more, they gave me a deeper love for my mother, my sister and the sisters of my friends. Today, when I see young men sometimes fall victims to social evils, I get a picture of what I might have been, had I another kind of a father. I sympathize with the young men, and feel grateful to 'God for my father.' BOOSTS AND KNOCKS In looking over the files of the Afro-American, the following paragraphs struck me as being significant: "The Circle by means of bazaars, sales and personal items was able to help not only the expenses of the local Negro movement, but also to contribute to the following uplift agencies: Eva Jenifer Neighborhood Club, Day Nursery, the Provident Hospital and Empty Stocking Circle. "However, the Circle soon found that because of its limited membership it could not do any more to help the various agencies, and the idea with help was abandoned." The above paragraphs appeared in an article in the Woman's Column with reference to the DuBois Circle of this city. To my mind the last paragraph seems to show a startling lack of vision, and it becomes all the more startling when consideration is taken of the high order of intelligence embodied in the organization. That it was able to help all that would seem to be a sure encouragement to warrior continuance of effort to the end that a larger work and worth might be the result of persistent and sustained effort. It is regrettable that a club representing a membership of thirty of the best that the womanhood of Baltimore has produced admits its inability "to do very much to help the various clinical agencies." The organization understates that Nursery Association was established and is being maintained principally through the efforts of an organization much less than thirty, and that the Eva Jenifer Neighborhood Club, the Empty Stocking and Fresh Air Circle and the Young Women's Christian Association had the inception in organization that numbered more than thirty it might seem that lack of desire would be the actuating power behind an excuse that "not much could be accomplished" because of a lack of numbers. This criticism is not intended for the DuBois Circle, as such, only in so far as it represents a type of organization that thrives not only in our midst but is characteristic throughout the world and is widespread. All cannot be large monuments or rear great structures by the which they will be remembered in life and after they are dead, but by the little help rendered here and there they can so weave themselves into the moral and social fabric that they will not only build a monument in the hearts of those they serve but will show that range of "vision" that has been the making of every successful institution and the members of organizations of this kind may be interested in social work does in no wise take away the responsibility of the organization as a whole. Do not understand me to infer that organizations of the DuBois kind are not needed. Too many of them cannot be started. My main point of interest is the lack of numbers is rather a furfled excuse for constructive effort. --- It might be well, in this connection, to mention a few of the small organizations who are making themselves felt in the community with the Mercy and Help Department of Sharp Street Church, the Lady Board of Managers of Provident Hospital, the Art Club, the various organizations within the churches. And this number could be added to but enough to illustrate my point of view. --- The conclusions of the case of Milton R. Lee and the Grind Lodge so far as the local courts are concerned calls to mind that in the past two or three years a whole lot of people's money has been spent uselessly. And for what? That some great generosity of the order might be conserved? Oh not! Merely in order it would seem, to crush one who had the conviction of right and the courage to stand by his convictions. Hence to time members of fraternal orders in this and other cities have had to pay extortionate court charges, for no reason on earth save to gratify the whims of some egotist, who having by divers means gained control of an organization proceeds to impress the "little strappers" that he is the "holy of holies" endowed (like the German Kaiser) with the "divine power" to kill and shatter as he sees fit. The Old fellows of Georgia have been split in twain by the selfish ambition and egotism of some of its leaders. The True Reformers of Virginia have long since gone almost to the ranks of oblivion because of selfish ambition. The reformers of Virginia in the country is split up into "Originals" "Independents" and the like all to gratify the whims of these so-called leaders imbued with the idea that might makes right. Sooner or later the people representing the rank and file of our fraternal organizations will come to a realization that these men who keep contemptuous of the poor if they do so majority have not the interest of the organization at heart and simply use their position as a means to bolster their individual projects. It is about time that we stop fooling ourselves, and use the same care in the selection of leaders in fraternal enterprises that we would in business ventures into which we had placed our money. Leadership based on any kind of knowledge serves is fatal, both to the organization and to the individual. Let us at least be fair to ourselves. --- The howl on the part of the white residents of McCullah street and vicinity when the site for the Y. M. C. A. was announced though somewhat delayed was nevertheless expected. That a one hundred thousand dollar building would depreciate property especially in the McCullah street neighborhood of McCullah street from Fiddle street to Lofaycette avenue if it has not depreciated has surely degenerated. My only objection to the site is that the self-respecting colored citizens who go to the Y. M. C. A. will be forced in a way to come in contact with a certain element of whites most distasteful to them. I will hope too fool white people try to get the Mayor to close up Bethel Church because it is only a block from the Western High School. That fool-killer will have some job on his hands if he ever comes to Baltimore. QUIETLY MARRIED Miss Grance Pye, of Catonsville and Mr. Chester Seward were quietly married last Wednesday in Boston, Massa. The marriage was a quiet affair owing to the fact that Mrs. Seward was in mourning. Mrs. Seward is the daughter of Mr. Edward Pye and a graduate of St. Frances DeSales, Rock Castle, Va. Mr. Seward is a well known teacher and is the son of Mr. and Mrs. James M. Seward, of 1007 Druid Hill avenue. LOCAL HAPPENINGS. Mr. Norris R.

NOT OUR MAJOR GLADDEN Wishes to Dispel Some Very Serious Rumors Charles A. Gladden, prominent Catholic citizen, drillmaster, military organizer, etc. etc., known throughout the length and breadth of Baltimore as "Major" Gladden, has had a deal of notoriety lately that is to say the least, disturbing. A little boy was killed in North Baltimore recently, youngster by the man named Major Gladden is lodged in jail charged with conspiracy to crime. As soon as young Gladden was put in durance vile, Major Gladden's troubles began. Friends everywhere began to inquire if the Major's "son" was the perpetrator of the crime and he became so tired of answering queries that walked into the Afro-America office and asked the reporter to help him out the door. He wants all of friends to know that the young Gladden who was charged with the murder, is in no way connected with his family, is in no way connected with his family. SUPERINTENDENTS MEET The A. M.

WHO ARE THE ANGELS? Synopsis of Sermon by Elder G. P. Rodgers (Continued) Are the Angels the spirits of the dead? When I was a boy I was sure our dead loved ones became Angels and watched over me at night as I step back because I became an angel nights I afraid to go to bed for four of meeting one of these angels. In the Bible there are three orders of beings mentioned. 1st, the God head; 2nd, the angels and third, man in Hebrews 1:1-6 it is stated that Christ being made to much better than man, made to much better than they— He was called the Son and also the Father called Him God, verse 8. Christ was above the angels. His name was better. His position greater. Now in Hebrews the 2nd chapter He leaves the Divine state and takes upon Himself the nature, not of man but of angels. He took on Himself the seed of Abraham Heb. 2:1-16, or according to I Cor. 5:3. He became what we are, in order that we might become, not angels, but what He is. Beloved now are we (not angels) the Sons of God, but does not yet appear when HE shall appear when HE shall appear we shall be LIKE Him, immuch-as HE obtained a better place and name than the angels we will be the SONS OF GOD, something never promised to an angel, read Heb. 1:-5. And what angel does he promise to on His throne he calls him upon whom he promised, "To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with Me on My throne" Revelation 3:-21. Angels are ministering spirits, not the rewarded dead, sent forth to minister unto those who shall be heirs of salvation. The Angels are not Ghosts, but real tangible beings, with faces, feet, hands, backs, mouths (for the angel) and they travel between earth and heaven in the interest of men. It was Angels that God placed in the garden to keep man out after he shinned (Gen. 3:24) and at this time no one had ever died. Angels will no longer be the dead end of the world, and surely the death will not come to gather themselves. We will be the Sons and Daughters of GOD not angels, and in that great day will sit with Jesus on His throne a privilege promised only to the overcomers of this world.

Do you realize the progress your race is making, and is going to make until at last you will have your deserved place among the foremost of the world? Realizing this the Ker-Mar Motion Picture Producing Company has placed its stock on the market to be with representative colored of Baltimore, Md. Mr. W. R. Coleman, Director Mr. Herman E. Tate, Senario Writer The object of this company is to make motion pictures using colored performers depicting incident and happenings from long before slavery to the present day, showing with the limited advantages they have had, that the colored people now rank among the foremost in all walks of life. This is a small outlay to become actively interested in the uplift of your race besides the financial benefits that must come from such an educational work. KER-MAR PICTURE PRODUCING CORPORATION 407 and 409 GAITHER BUILDING, Charles Street, Near Fayette. We are training the members of the Kermar Dramatic Club and as soon as they are trained we will start to produce pictures after which there will be no stock for sale at $1.25 per share, but probably $5.00 per share. We are about to depict the life of Booker T. Washington, in which there will appear a great spectacular scene showing thousands of years back. Mr. David H.Beecher a Banker who owns and has interest in twenty-three banks and as an investor in the industry said, "My experience to date has been most pleasant, as well as profitable in the motion picture producing business. In my first year of association with the industry, my investment ran close to $100,000 and was returned to me inside of three months. Since then I have invested several times that amount. My experience has been that no safer investment is offered the public, or a banker, than the motion picture industry, providing your investment is in the hands of a man or an organization that is capable." In this scene Prof. Gough McDaniels will be featured as the Ethiopian King. This is from the writing of Rev. Dr. John W. Norris.

"Really, Amy I think you should help mother. It is not fair to go trapping all over town and leave her here to get then. You know this is Monday and the work is on Saturday. You have plenty of time on Saturday. You know Monday is a hard day with mother" so said Amos Trigg to his baby sister Amy. Any was an only girl and the youngest of six children and she had been wotfully spoiled by the whole family so much so that she considered no one's feelings but her own, so her reply to her brother Amos was characteristic of her. "Well," she said, "why doesn't mother hire one one to help her. I have a club meeting this afternoon and then I must hurry back and get at my chemistry as that is the only study I'm not quite up to the mark on." "Study and club meetings that's all you think about. Haven't you any eyes, can't you see mother is almost fanned out, and she hasn't been well winter?" "Ams Trigg," said Amy as she stumped her foot, "you are simply horrible. You are forever croaking about something that does not concern you." And she turned and looked at the mother she loved so selfishly and said, "Mother do you really need me, if you do I'll stay at home and help you, although I should really attend the meeting as I've no one to send my reports in by." "Never mind your fear," said Mrs. Trigg, "I can manage some way," and she sighed as she tackled a sink full of dishes and thought of the amount of work to be done before she could get super. Amy finished drawing on her gloves and gave her mother a peek on the check, which answered for a kiss, and skipped triumphantly out of the room. Her brother followed her to the door, and as she opened the door he caught her by the arm. "Really Any?" he said. "I could shake you. You think of me one but yourself. I'd be ashamed to leave mother with all that work to do." "Well, I think it more important that I get my school work together and being secretary of the club. I don't see how I can stay at home. You see if I pass in February, I have an extraordinary good chance of resting before spring and then I can help mother out with the spring cleaning. And if I make a good mark in exams I stand a good chance of lending a job—then I can help mother more by being able to pay some one to help her." "Well go ahead Miss Know-it-all, some day you'll be sorry—then it will be too late." But tho Amy heard, she was too angry to reply. She really felt way down in her heart that she should help her mother, but she didn't want to soil her hands and she didn't like that kind of work any way. Mother didn't mind and Amos was such an old fogy. Wait until she got to teaching then she'd hire some one to do the work and mother could rest. One day Amy had her class at the house for lunch, and it was Saturday the day of all days she should not have been entertaining, but when did Amy stop to think of any one but herself. She heard a noise like a groan and one of the girls asked "what's that noise"— "Oh," replied Amy, "Just mother, she often does that." She soon happened to pass the door at this time it made him angry. He was going to telephone for the doctor because: Ms. Trigg had fainted and it scared him. Soon the doctor came and as Amy saw the car in front of the door she ran out in the hall to see what was wrong. "What does Dr. Leslie want here? Who is sick?" She asked excitedly. "Oh," said Amos, looking her square in the face, "Just mother." It was indeed "Just Mother" and as Amy sadly told the news to her friends, she was saying to herself—Oh, if mother will only get well, I'll do anything to help her. But it was a long time before Mrs. Trig was able to be up and around again, and it was a sadder, and wiser little girl who greeted her mother's appearance downstairs again, and a much more lovable and considerate little girl. Never again, she told Amos, will I ever use the expression "Just Mother." How many of us like Amy think little of those who are making so many sacrifices for us—how often these days—we hear the expression, "Oh its just mother," and unlike Amy, we often have not the chance to make preparation for our thoughtlessness and carelessness. Just Mother, yes—but if you love her and desire to help her, why not do it now. So many of us think it makes us look little to put our arms around mother or father and kiss them or tell them we love them. You often hear the remark "They know I love them, I never buy for myself I don't buy something for them, what's the use of being so silly or so mushy." How many things they do for us, we simply take for granted and give it not another thought. I know a mother who has two big sons and so many make the remark—"She loves the youngest one best." I've often watched and although I never see her do the last little thing for one she does not do for the other; but to look at her face as they approach her is a revelation and tells to anyone who cares to see and interpret. The younger although twenty years of age, always comes to her kisses her, smoothes her hair and always has something sweet to say. Once I heard him say, "Oh mother darling, but you do look beautiful today. I believe you get younger and prettier every day. Do let me kiss you again, isn't she great Dad?" While the older boy came in whistling, said "Hello mother!" and passed on up-stairs. She looked so longingly after him, that my heart ached for her. Can't you easily see why every one thinks she loves the younger best. It is only a little thing and so many lives can be made so much brighter by it. If you love her tell her so—even the it is Just Mother. She has given you much, give her a little in return and above all tell her you love her.

Fleishman They say you are dead. Mother Mine. They have laid your trail little body in the ground and have heaped earth upon it. And we have come with flowers to beautify the spot and pay sweet tribute to your memory. But to us children, you are not dead. You have merely gone home to God and to that eternal peace which mortals can not conceive. The real You lives on. It survives in the minds and hearts of all those who knew you. All of the qualities that made you noble are still of earth, in that they are cherished by those to whom, you were as a benediction. All of the little faults have been forgotten—obliterated by the greater quality of your virtues. In life you were self-sacrificing. All mothers are. Now that you have journeyed on beyond our call, we see more clearly the many angles of your worth. Things seem to be so ordered in this existence that full Mother-appreciation is a matter of perspective. No, you are not dead. Mother Mine. Only the clay has returned to the clay. Your influence for good continues on down the years. God bless you and grant in His spiritual kingdom some of the joys that were denied you in this material world. —From Old Bay Line Magazine I SELL HERBS! clean, properly gathered herbs.
