MEN To Attend Great Revival at First A.M.E. Church ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 1594 VOLUME 29 To Attend Great A. M. E. GET YOUR SHARE OF THE GREAT GOOD NOW POURING FORTH AT THE UNION REVIVAL MEETINGS. The Union Revival under the auspices of the Methodist ministers at the First A. M. E. church. The Revival started off with even greater enthusiasm than could have been hoped for by those interested. Last Sunday 17 persons started the New Year by connecting with the First church before even the meeting was launched. Tuesday evening in spite of the inclement weather a goodly number was present and each evening thereafter the number and enthusiasm increased. It is believed that great good will be accomplished by this effort. WHY SPIRITUALISM HAS ALWAYS BEEN CONDEMNED P. Florence E. Snyder (Continued from December 20) I will try and impress upon your mind, kind reader, that the body which is the earthly being, serves as a house for the spirit to dwell in while on this earth plain. When you will have developed that power which is the God part in all mankind, nothing will be hid from you, for God, which means power, wisdom, understanding, love and intelligence, surpasses all things and the more nonspiritual one becomes the more ignorant he is. In the Old Book (which is the Bible) King Solomon quotes: "A man's wisdom brings him before great men and always makes room for him." So, it is not books or education that makes one wise, for the Bible reads the wisdom of man is but foolishness with God. Therefore, spiritual men and women on a high plain have power with God which is salvation unto him who will accept and believe. So many would be, and will never be mediums, are some of the dark cloud for so many years. But it has ceased to be a parlor entertainment, or a mere pastime, but a beautiful truth which cannot be contradicted. It takes the cultivating of divine love, and doing unto others, and also making your life as an example to really receive the high and beautiful celestial forces which will enable you to demonstrate that wonderful power. Real Spiritualism cannot be exposed. The only ones that try to expose Spiritualism are those would-be mediums who have failed to develop to a higher plain and cannot see any farther than their God, which is the Almighty Dollar. It is only those mediums who have failed that try to expose Spiritualism Remember, kind reader, real spirit-return can never be exposed. Some people call Spiritualism a new phenomena, but it is not new; it is the only true religion that has ever been given to man. Jesus was only a man in a mortal body; born of a woman, as all other men. The only difference was His life was an example, and His teaching was of a truth. People of those days rejected Him for the wonderful power that was demonstrated through Him and knew if He was not put to death people would believe on Him and through jealousy, they put Him to death. If the laws of the present date were as they were in the days of the lowly Jesus, they ```markdown ``` EN Revival at First Church would put the mediums to death also; but our present law prohibits such, and in that, Spiritualism is gaining ground more and more each day. People are getting tired of such dogma as is being taught by sectarian religions of today, and are seeking a truth by which they can be made free and Spiritualism is a true knowledge you see and you hear. Therefore, you do not go on belief, but have that perfect knowledge of all things. Jesus said, of which you will find in the Old Book, "Great things have I done, but even greater shall ye do that follow me." So you see, kind readr, there must have evidently been something wrong some place that this power has not been demonstrated long ago. The day is fast approaching when men and women will awaken to the fact that there is something higher and an intelligence that surpasses all earthly things. Earthly things will soon perish, but Spiritual things shall never perish. Religion was never designed to make one's pleasures less, but gerater. When you will have developed that God part which is divine love, your life will be peace, happiness, joy and comfort. You will see no defects i many one, but will see the re al man which is the God part in all mankind, and will try to raise fallen humanity and assist suffering humanity, and you will experience a heaven while you live in your mortal body on this plain. And, as I stated formerly, nothing will be hid from you. NEVER ALONE By Florence E. Snyder As I sit here in silence, O, faintly do I hear That sweet voice of a loved one coming near. A whisper: "I am with you always, never to depart. We will lead and guide you and create within a noble heart." We will teach you to pray and live for today. We will guide your footsteps in the beautiful way. We will erect a monument that shall always stand: We shall make you a a life that shall be noble and grand. Our faces shall be as a beautiful sunlight to you. We will shower our blessings like the sparkling dew. And a crown shall await you in that home of bliss Where each tide shall be swept by an endless kiss. "ARE THE SONS OF HAM ASLEEP?" A few months ago while we pursued the even tenor of our way there appeared upon the horizon of this country a dark and ominous cloud. It skulked its way across with portentious strides and finally spent itself, much to the chagrin of every true and loyal heart of this great metropolis, regardless of race, nationality or color. Two guardians of the law—Officers Charles S. Broady and Frank G. White—were bound with the shackles of an accusation forged upon the anvil of malfeasance. Their characters were dyed in the blood of a crime so detestable that sighs of disgust came from every breast, and emotions of shame circled every vein. They were charged with trampling upon the laws of our fair state—of disregarding the mandates of the statutes that we cherish and give our hard-earned pennies to see that they are upheld. More than that, they have been accused of taking their own self-respect and casting it into the slime and filth of disgrace and dishonor by turning their backs on the oaths they made before Almighty God. The trial was set and these styled culprits were led into the court room, where beneath the searchlight of investigation they were forced to stand until it had penetrated every nook and made clean every crevice. The Grand Jury, that voice which speaks with power and precision, weighed carefully the evidence submitted, balanced it upon the scales of justice, and while we waited in breathless suspense for their verdict arose and with one accord dipped their pens into the clear sunlight of Truth and said: "We refuse to stain our souls by upholding this charge." California Eagle San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland What more could be needed to establish their innocence? If guilty, would these men have so acted? I cannot believe it. If guilty, would they be at liberty to breathe our free air and mingle with those who represent law-abiding citizens? To say yes would be an insult to our government, and a travesty upon the State of California, which is second to none in this country. Have these men been treated fairly? Is it right for them to be throttled with the clutches of revenge and malice? Is it in accord with law, either human or divine, for their self-respect to be impugned, their honor and integrity held up with shame when the charges are proven baseless? By all laws of reason and logic why is it, or how is it, that they were not automatically reinstated? Why is it that the stain of ignominy is not washed off their faces? Why is it, if not guilty, the verdict of conviction and exoneration is not pronounced? These questions demand consideration and will not be downed. It is high time that the Colored citizenry of Los Angeles awake to their duty. When these men's rights are assailed the rights of every Negro in this city are assailed. When their respectability is questioned, the respectability of every black man walking the streets is to a certain extent questioned. When they can be thrown out of positions upon such baseless charges it means that none of us in such positions can whistle a tune of assurance as long as we live in a world where evil so strongly reigns in some hearts. I tell you, there is something funny about this thing. Do you know what it is? If so, please speak. It it's politics, I confess it is mighty dirty. If it is personal animosity, then may God have mercy on those dyed-in-the wool sinners! But whatever it is, it concerns you and concerns me. Where are these organizations working for the protection of Negro citizens? Where are those mighty ones who claim to be looking out for our interests? What is your verdict? Have you no word to say? Let the truth be known: We want to know why these men, when not adjudged guilty, should not be reinstated. We want to know why we must suffer such a thing to be so now. While we sit upon the stool of inactivity and sing a ditty of racial lethargy, these men's hearts are deeply burdened. Their family names have been besmirched. Their fathers and mothers walk with hung-down heads and tears of sorrow trickling down their cheeks. A wife with her little children kneeling by her side with the heavy cross of disgrace resting upon their youthful shoulders, sits with a broken heart, looking askance for a ray of hope to support her undying faith in the eventual triumph of Justice and Truth. Sons of Ham, our duty is manifest. It matters not whether we like Broady and White. It matters not whether we are concerned as to their future careers. The Negro race has been challenged for integrity and not found guilty, and yet the jall doors of injustice hold us in the dingy and gloomy cell. Shall we sit still and mourn? May all hearts say "No!" Then in the name of truth and justice, in the name of the 25,000 Colored citizens of Los Angeles, in the name of God and humanity, let us ask and demand an answer to the query, "Why should these things be?" REV. B. C. ROBESON. PASADENA INVITES CALIFORNIA To Honor the Memory of Frederick Douglass, in Big Centennial Anniversary at Lincoln-Douglass Day Celebration, Monday, February 12, at Gospel Tabernacle. The New Year was ushered in with pomp and splendor and the Rose Tournament was indeed a successful triumphant with hundreds of thousands of visitors to the Crown City, to witness the great floral pageant. Last Sunday a great throng crowded the big "McPherson Gospel Tabernacle, with enthusiastic worshipers, to hear the famous Harris-Bilbrew Jubilee Singers, that charmed the great audience with their sweet old plantation songs and southern melodies, Mrs. A. C. Harris-Bilbrew gave a reading from Paul Laurence Dunbar, which captivated the big audience: so great an impression that the sweet singers were compelled to fill a return engagement on Thursday evening, when they appeared before a packed house. THE EDITOR Sunday promises to be a big day at the Tabernacle, when the old-fashioned Holy Ghost and Fire revival meetings will start, and the famous all Jubilee Singers will sing at both the afternoon and evening services. Emmanuel Hall, the noted gospel soloist, will sing, and a great time is anticipated as hundreds of both races will attend the meetings, and Evangelist J. Gordon McPherson will preach at both services. The opening sermons of the Evangelistic Campaign are destined to shake Pasadena. The citizens of both races are planning a big centennial celebration in honor of and commemorating the 100th anniversary of the birth of the "Old Man Eloquent," Frederick Douglass, the celebration of Lincoln-Douglass Day. Several of the most prominent leaders of both races, Grand Army veterans, Spanish War veterans, civic leaders will take part in the big centennial Douglass Day Celebration. Drum corps of the Grand Army corps will play many of the stirring airs of '61. Dr. J. Gordon McPherson has moved to the "Stangers Rest," 891 S. Raymond avenue, where he has opened a sanitarium to treat the nervous and sick as a divine healer. All are welcome to come, without money or price, for treatment. All persons who are in need of the waters of life are invited to attend the lectures on Christian Healing. Classes taught by correspondence, on the secret of how to keep happy and healthy, both in body and soul. DISTINGUISHED WRITER HONORED James Weldon Johnson Chosen Field Secretary for N. A. A. C. P. New Strength for the National Association New York.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, at the December meeting of the Board of Directors, appointed Mr. James Weidon Johnson to the newly created position of field secretary. Mr. Johnson is well known throughout America as contributing editor of the "New York Age," as an author of distinction, and as prize winner in the recent contest of the Philadelphia Ledger for editorials on "Why Illughes Should be Elected." His appointment indicates that a consolidation of forces is being effected amongst Colored Americans at the present time, and that the substantial unanimity of opinion expressed by the leaders of all schools of thought represented last summer at the Amenia Conference is working out in the direction of a more united front to the common enemies of the Race. James Weldon Johnson was born in Jacksonville, Fla., June 17, 1871, where he was educated in the public schools. In 1894 he graduated from Atlanta University with the degree of A. B., and he received his Master's degree at the same university in 1904. His Southern birth and Southern training will make it possible for him to work and organize in the Squath as no Northern man could. Mr. Johnson also spent three years in graduate work at Columbia University, in the city of New York, and for several years was principal of the Colored high school at Jacksonville. He was admitted to the Florida bar in 1897, and practiced law in Jacksonville until 1901, when he removed to New York to collaborate with his brother, J. Rosamond Johnson, in writing for the light opera stage. He married Grace E. Nail of New York in 1910. Mr. Johnson, too, has had an interesting career in the public service. In 1906 he was appointed United States consul at Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, being transferred as consul to Corinto, Nicaragua, in 1909, and to the Azores in 1912. While at Corinto he looked after the interests of his country during the stormy days of the revolution which resulted in the downfall of Zelaya and the abortive revolution against Diaz. His knowledge of Spanish has been put to use in the translation of many Spanish plays. He was the translator for the English libretto of "Goyescas," the Spanish grand opera produced at the Metropolitan Opera in 1915; and Mr. Johnson also has several translations from the French to his credit. But it is as an American author that he is best known. His poems have appeared in the Century, the Independent, the Crists and other magazines; and his novel, "The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man," is one of the most powerful stories' ever woven about the theme of Race relations. Mr. Johnson is a member of the American Society of Authors and Composers; of the Civic Club, New York; and is vice-president of the New York Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Recently he has been on a six weeks' mission throughout the South, representing the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes in an endeavor to persuade the editors of the leading white newspapers to take an enlightened attitude toward the exodus 1 of Negro labor at present going on. Everywhere he was received with the greatest courtesy and consideration, and much good is expected to result from his presentation of the Negro case. While for the present at least, Mr. Johnson will continue to act as contributing editor of the New York Age, his great abilities as writer, speaker and politician will henceforth be devoted to organizing the millions of Negroes in America and spreading the doctrine of an uncompromising demand for their full rights as American citizens until the program of simple social justice for which the N. A. A. C. P. stands is realized. TWO VERY UNIQUE AFFAIRS The New Year was fittingly observed by many of the organizations and families of this city, and in spite of the hard times cry each and every one of these affairs were reported excellent. At the First A. M. E. Church At 2 o'clock p. m. the doors of the First A. M. E. church were thrown wide, not only for the reception of members and friends of the church, but likewise for strangers and all who cared to come within her holy confines. Upon entering the church each visitor was met by Mrs. S. Middleton at the door, who was charming in a gown of black and wore a big picture hat of black and pink. Mrs. Middleton has a very pleasing countenance, but like Mrs. Clarkson and the other --- NUMBER 47 ladies of the Mite Society, who made New Years Day one long to be remembered by all who visited the First A. M. E. church. She was especially pleasing upon this occasion. After being welcomed by this pleasing lady at the door each person was directed to booth No. 1, where chili and wafers were served and from there to booth No. 2, where there was coffee and sandwiches, and from thence to the ice cream and cake booth and on into a pretty tea garden where tea was served in real Japanese fashion by daintily gowned Japanese ladies. Each booth was beautiful in Christmas decorations and each lady occupant was equally as beautiful. And just think! All of this was given without money or price. Those who participated in this hospitality were loud in their thanks and praise to Mrs. Craw and the ladies who provided this sumptuous treat. Open House at Mrs. Sarah Shores Residence on E. 11th St. Demonstrating the true doctrine of the order as to fraternity and brotherhood Shores Temple held open house at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Shores; Monday, New Years Day, during which time members and friends formed a steady stream that flowed in and out during the entire day. Mrs. Shores never grew weary with her pleasing smile, and hearty hand shake as she bade them one and all welcome to her little mansion, for any home where love reigns supreme is a mansion. The visitors were invited into the parlor where they were introduced, and from thence into the beautifully lighted dining room where at the head of a great table laden with jellies, cakes and fruits Mrs. J Jennings in a pale blue silk gown with a glittering crown on her forehead sat, and Mrs. Harris similarly gowned sat at the foot. These two ladies assisted by others who remained up and about served all who came and went to the many good things that had been carefully prepared by loving hands for this occasion, and so the spirit of true brotherhood for the New Year was well begun. JOINT INSTALLATION Wednesday evening, Jan. 4th, Odd Fellows hall was a scene of great activity, for it was upon this occasion that Household of Ruth 561 took the initiative in inviting the other Households and Odd Fellow Lodges of the city to join in a ceremony of installation. Each lodge was well represented in membership and the short but timely program preceding the ceremony was heartily received. After the program Mrs. V. Ransom being absent, Mrs. Eliza Warner was called upon to install the newly elected officers of the three Households represented and even though she was very hoarse Mrs. Warner was equal to the occasion, and wrought well the duty imposed upon her to the extent that whispers went forth, "She is always good." In giving the charge Mrs. Warner reminded the women of the sacredness of their duties as officers of such a great order as the Household of Ruth. D. G. S., S. P. Johnson then came forward, sounding his call for his sturdy sons as he was wont to call them, and he, too, in strong but well chosen language gave the charge to those who were to guide the great ship of Odd Fellowship during the year. Refreshments were served and all valent soldiers of G. U. O. of O. F. & H. of R. at a late hour of the evening wended their way homeward. What the Churches are Doing PAGE TWO Madame Flores, late-Talbot of the Hahn's Jubilee concert Co., and winner of the Diamond Medal in one of Chicago's most renowned schools of music, will sing at the morning services Sunday the beautiful solo entitled, "The Cross," from Wrae. The pastor will deliver the sermon. Our own famous choir will render special music and everybody is invited to worship with us in these services. Two very large representative congregations worship at First church the first Sabbath in the new year. Rev. E. Robeson preached at 11 a.m. in the Presiding Elder William, was invited to Oakland, Cal., to present at the funeral of Father Foster, one of our pioneer ministers. At the evening services the Rev. Price preached. The afternoon service in which Dr. Anderson preached, was an inspiration to all and three big services were edifying to each attendant in our service on New Year's Sunday. Two converts united the church Among the distinguished visitors present who were presented to the congregation, were the entire pesson the famous Hahn's Jubilee Concert Co. of Chicago, Ill., and Dr. J. S. Outlaw of our own city. A selection from the Hahn's Jubilee Concert Co. is anticipated at the evening service in connection with the pastor's sermon this coming Sunday. The Union Revival services are still going on to the glory of Christ. Dr. Robeson is delivering burning messages and closes his series of sermons Sunday at 3 o'clock. Dr. Price of Channing street will be the speaker all next week and then the services close at First church to be resumed at First A. M. E. Zion church, corner Pico and Paloma Aves. Everybody is welcome to these services. FIRST A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Paloma and Pico Streets Rev. B, C. Robeson, A.B., S.T.B. Pastor Zion's star is in the ascendency; we are coming into our own. Last Sunday there was another accession to the fold, Mrs. Shaw of Walla Walla, Washington. This time one from the north. Sunday before last one was from 'the South—they are coming from every point in this country, drawn by our young, eloquent and capable pastor. Rev. Robeson. We older members looked forward to such a time—the time when Zion would be one of the first churches, if not the first, of the city in influence and membership. Such a day is dawning. One of the stewards, whilst taking up the offering last Sunday, seeing so many old members out as well as new faces, publicly expressed appreciation and invited them back, to come as often as they cared, also bringing in others, the志愿者, such a responsive chorus, quite a few expressed themselves as being impressed by the hospitality of the members, "that Zion good feeling and fellowship which is found wherever there is a Zion church." The pastor will talk next Sunday at 11 a.m. on "The Mercy of God—How Great." At 8 p.m. Rev. J. H. Miller will deliver one of his forceful messages. Sunday school classes for grown ups as well as children. Come out at 9:45 next Sunday and poin a class. Make a start for the year. Come to the revival services at the A. M. E. church Sunday afternoon. Many blessings are being showered, come and get your share. THE PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST Odd Fellows' Hall, Cor. 8th and Wall Streets Rev. N. P. Greggs, Pastor The first Sunday of the new year was celebrated with inspiring services at the People's Independent church. Large, enthusiastic audiences greeted Pastor Greggs at both services and were wonderfully satisfied by his vigorous and helpful sermons. At the morning session he took as his text, Psalms 20:5. "We will rejoice in thy salutation and in the name of our God we will set up our banners." He appealed to his congregation to enter into the battle of 1917 with Faith and courage, and to rejoice in the Salvation of God and set up their banners, knowing that God would make them victorious. He also emphasized the need of Independent Christianity that does not compromise with sin PHILLIPS CHAPEL C. M. E. CHURCH 1406 Newton Street Rev. J. C. Anderson, Pastor The past Sunday being the first of the new year, two splendid congregations were out to commune and participate in the services. The pastor preached at both the services and the Holy Spirit was present in demonstration and power. The congregation and pastor worshiped with the congregation of the First A. M. E. church in the afternoon and another glorious service was enjoyed. The church is taking on new life since the holidays are over. The auxiliaries are meeting regularly now and are planning great things for the new year. The Sunday school, under the leadership of Supt. Maxey and his very efficient corps of teachers, is taking on new life and new classes are being organized and the work is in a very fine and healthy condition. The Supt. and teachers deserve much credit for the great work that is being accomplished. Quite a few of the members who have been on the sick list were out to the services on Sunday and were greeted with delight-by the congregation. We also had a number of visitors and we extend them a cordial invitation to come and be with us again. 1354 Channing St. Rev. J. W. Price, Pastor Last Sunday was a great day for Ward; the Sunday school was well attended and highly interesting. A very representative congregation in every respect worshiped with us at the morning hour. At 3 p.m. we worshiped at First A. M. E. church, 8th and Towne Ave., in the great union services which are in progress there, to the delight of all, souls being converted and some acclaimed. At the evening hour Rev. Williams of the Christian church filled the pulpit-for us to the delight of all present. Services for Sunday, Jan. 14th, are as follows: Sunday school at the usual hour, 9:30 a.m. Mrs. S. E. Mann, Superintendent, Preaching at the morning hour, 11 a.m. Allen Christian Endeavor at 6:30 p.m., Mrs. B. F. Bryant, president. Regular old time revival services at 7:45 p.m. The pastor will speak at both services. All are welcome. Visitors made to feel at home. WESLEY M. E. CHURCH NOTES The Rev. A. Lively, pastor of the New Hope Baptist church, will preach at Wesley Sunday morning January 14th. In the evening Rev William A. Washington of the Holiness church, and a disciple of the noted Holiness evangelist of Mississippi, C. P. Jones, will deliver the message. Mr. Washington is held in high esteem by his brother ministers of every denomination and served one or two terms as president of the Ministers' Alliance. He is a forceful preacher of the gospel and the membership will profit greatly by availing themselves of the opportunity to hear him Sunday evening. *The Parsonage Committee, under the direction of Mrs. Harding and her, excellent assistants, will give a very unique concert and supper Monday evening, Jan. 14. These good women are doing a very excellent work in refrishing and making ready the parsonage for the new pastor and his family and we trust that every member of the church will patronize them. CHURCH AND SOCIAL ACTIVITIES IN CROWN CITY PRESIDING ELDER A. M. E. CHURCH SUNDAY. Rev. J. H. Wilson, presiding elder, will be in charge of services Sunday and will preach morning and evening administering the sacrament during the day. Services on last Sabbath continued the growth in interest and attendance that has characterized the church this year. The Sunday school is especially interesting in this regard. Rev. Bussey preached at morning service followed by an altar service conducted by the pastor, when numbers came forward testifying a desire for a deeper spiritual life for the new year. At evening service the pastor spoke and welcomed one addition to the membership of the church. The Ladies Aid Society was entertained by Mrs. Wm. Bunch at her home on West Walnut last Thursday afternoon. Consecration meeting in the Young People's service was led by Mr. Wm. Prince. Next Sunday in addition to the discussion of the lesson, Mr. J. R. Wright will seek on "Ought." and there will be solos by Aramis Fouche and Rev. Bussey. A solo by Mrs. Buell Thomas at the recent concert by the choir was greatly appreciated. Among the sick of the church are Mrs. Norah Boykin, Mr. Booker and Mr. Jenkins of Cypress Ave. FRIENDSHIP BAPTIST CHURCH With the annual meetings and reports for the past year over and the officers of the church and many of the auxiliary elected for the ensuing year, a great movement is being launched to make this year a banner year in the history of the church. Ernest Griffen was again chosen to lead the Board of Trustees while Deacon Dearaagon selected as chairman of the Board of Deacon Ernest Griffen will also continue his duties as church clerk, as will C. Mills as financial secretary and Van Williams as treasurer. Deacon Payne has been chosen as financial collector for the year. The annual reports were more than gratifying to most of the members. Individual copies will be distributed next Sunday if possible. The Sunday school will be under the leadership of Ralph Troy this year. His record as an interested Sunday school worker insures success in this department. The B. Y. P. U., although not completely organized, is planning to utilize every ounce of energy to be gotten out of the young people during the year. Capt. Reynolds has his program so arranged in this department that he considers it unnecessary for the organization of a club of young people to assist in the rally. This leaves the Porto Ricans, Liberians, Abyssians, No. 11, and the Willing Workers to battle for themselves for the supremacy, but the efforts of all of the young people of the church will be reported through the B. Y. P. U. An interesting sermon by the pastor in the morning and a half hour song and praise service, led by Deaon Wilson, followed by a sermonette and the administration of sacrament by the pastor in the evening, covers the services last Sunday. Next Sunday will mark the opening of a campaign of revival of souls, conducted by the pastor. Meetings will be held each evening beginning THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE NO OTHER LIKE IT. NO OTHER AS GOOD.

The Dunbar club met at the home of Mrs. Harts last Monday. Besides transacting business the club enjoyed refreshments. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH OF MONROVIA Rev. E. Wilson, Pastor Our services Sunday were a shower of blessing. A large and appreciative congregation greeted the pastor Sunday at the 11 o'clock services. The pastor deliver the Christmas sermon that had been prepared for the previous Sunday, but owing to the inclement weather, was postponed. The text was, "And she brought forth her first born and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in the manger for there was no room for him in the Inn. The beautiful story was told in all of its simplicity, yet with power that stirred the hearts of those that were present. Rev. L. W. D. Henry of the A. M. E. Zion church preached for the 8 o'clock service. Rev. Henry is a good gospel preacher. The Lord blessed us with three accessions to the church. A recess was taken from 9:50 to 10:30, during which time coffee and cake was served. After that time the watch meeting services began and amid great rejoicing the old year rolled out and a new year dawned before the peole of God departed for their various homes. We had had quite an enthusiastic meeting at seven o'clock. Brother S. L. Richardson of Duarte acted as leader for the evening. Activity was the watchword. Miss Wiley of Riverside, who is a guest of Sister Mary Jackson, charmed the Union at the close of the meeting with a solo. FOR RENT- Two-room apartment; bedroom and kitchenette Good quiet home.

KNOWLEDGE FROM THE UNSEEN Kind reader, I would like to open before you some facts of which no doubt you have never considered. First of all, if you have not been educated and graduated with the higher honors according to man's idea of the present day, you are considered illiterate by the ones who have been so-called fortunate enough to receive such. Have you ever stopped to think what misery education has brought to many? And it is education that has the world of today in such turmoil. Parents will send sons to military academies. What for? To train and educate them to fight to kill and be killed, instilling in the young and tender heart vengeance against his brother, instead of teaching them divine love. If there were more of divine love taught throughout this world, there would be no wars, nor such human slaughter as we are witnessing at this present day. Another fact: education has brought forth styles that are absolutely contrary to nature's laws and is the cause of many a one passing out of the mortal body before their time. Why is it? In ages past, men and women lived hundreds of years, and at the present day, if a man reaches past the eighties, it is a very rare thing. There are many things I could set forth whereby education has been the downfall and ruination of many. We read in the Bible: "God is God today and God tomorrow and changeth not." Then it is man's ideas that have changed things. Our greatest achievements have developed from what education would have called an illiterate man or woman, and where do they receive this knowledge from? Spirit And I want to impress upon your mind, kind reader, that you are as much Spirit today as you ever will be. You only take off mortal and put on immortal at the hour of transmission, and it does not change your condition. You must develop out of the condition either on this side or across the Great Divide. Spiritualist men and women on a high plain have a perfect knowledge of all things and nothing is hid from them. Every man and woman that lives in a mortal body have their Gods leading them, whether they are in the knowledge of it or not, and, let them be high or low, they are leading them, and when you will have unfolded that God part within, you will be able to see the Gods who lead the people, and Spiritualism is the only true religion ever handed down to man and is of a beautiful truth, and truth will make you free. Kind reader, I speak with a perfect knowledge, and not a belief that there is an unseen intelligence which is nothing more than our loved ones, and those whom we have attracted to us as we know: "Like attracts like;" that returns back to bring us peace, joy and happiness, if we will only but let them. And as I have stated in former writings, never condemn anything until you thoroughly investigate it for yourself. The trouble of the world today is that men and women go too far on merely hearsay. We cannot be true to others unless we are true to ourselves, and most of us fail to be Call S. P. Dones, Now that the new year has been properly ushered in and all the holiday rush is over, society a bit tired would be glad to welcome a brief respite from all its grand festivities, were that for the long quiet, each and every society lady and gentleman is bound to respect, and that is Lent, society cannot there lie dormant it seems. Miss Beulah Hall entertained Sunday afternoon with a very pretty tea, at the residence of her aunt, where miss Hall is now stopping. The house already beautiful was made more attractive with large potted ferns. Dainty refreshments were served to the seven couples honored with invitations. Each young lady appeared most charming in smart afternoon frock and the host exceedingly so in a afternoon frock of chartrue green. The guests departed at 7:30 claiming a delightful afternoon. Tuesday evening at 8 p. m. is wortu marking ou milady's calendar, for the young married ladies entertained at the Violet street club house about 50 friends with one of the prettiest dandans of the winter season. Never did society appear more beautiful as on this occasion; each and every one having "oceans" of fun in the merry whirl of the spicy music rendered by Miss Bolds and orchestra. Dancing continued until 12 p. m. Mr. N. B. Murray entertained at his home on East Eighth St. with a "stag" in honor of eight gentlemen friends. Several friends called on Mrs. Pembrok one evening last week. It was an unexpected call, but never can a call be made too quickly for this popular young matron to be ready with the daintiest, newest and "bestus" little luncheonette. Dainty indeed was the dining room of Mrs. Rueben Lewis, Sunday evening, when she entertained several friends at their beautiful little home on Brooklyn Ave. One would never think such a tiny little "wifie" could mix together such big goodies as that served. Yes, Dorthy, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis, knew it better than anyone and really showed her full appreciation of so grand a feast. Miss Della Dogins is still very ill and her many friends are truly sorry. Miss Houston and Mrs. Murray were guests of Mrs. Owens at a theater party, Wednesday afternoon. Complimentary to visiting friends from Chicago, Mrs. V. Williams laid covers at a seven course dinner this week. The table was attractively decorated. A huge basket of China lilies, My Maryland roses and Maidenhair fern forming a most effective centerpiece, at either end of which were Dresden candlabras. Hand-lined place cards designed in unique style furthered the color scheme of pink and green and marked the places of the ten guests. After dinner the game of hearts and whist furnished a diversion until 11 o'clock after which Mr. Williams pleased the guests with several selections on his aew grafona- A Record Breaker. At a record breaking meeting of the Comobabi Mines Co., stockholders held at Roberts parlors. Tuesday night, one thousand fifty-five dollars was raised in thirty-two minutes.

MUST KEEP ABREAST OF THE TIMES To say there is to» many Iaws now and that there is no need for the legislature to meet biennially is Both nonsensical and absurd. This is a progressive age in which progrest is the watchword and to keep pace with the advancement along all lines it is well indeed that the legislatures and the congress should meet to enact laws tw protect and regulate the same. the croaker. However. has alyay= got 2 wail of sorrow to emit. but in the meantime the people lemand that we shall keep abreast of the times. \ |, THE IMMIGRATION BILL After going to conferences in the lower house and senate at Washington. D. C.. the immigration bill has been amefided to read No alien now in any way excluded or prevented from entering the U. S. shall be admitted to the United States. This makes the bill, it is said. satisiactogy to both houses and will easily pass and with it comes the solution of the Ori- ental labor problems. ’ The much vetoed literary test remains ingact and it is said that if the president vetoes it as he is expPcted to do, that enongh votes are assured to pass it over his freto. The effort to prohibit the eatering of Africans to this coun- try failed to pass. They will be admitted with the same re- strictions as those of other countries... So it is to be hoped that this much passed and much vetoed bill will finally become a law and that we shall have a demon- station as to how it really works. The Lincoln Motion Picture Company, -one of our Los Angeles race enterprises. is doing a very creditable national business with unlimited possibilities ina world wide field. This enterprise. located here in Los Angeles. the most favorable locality in the world/for its kind of business, has made remark- able and rapid progress in its first six months of existence. Begun as an experiment but has found the field immense, with unlimited possibilities not only in the United States but in South America. the island of the sea. and in fact, the world. When we think pi the millions of Negroes in this country alone. we can readily estimate ‘the, great demand ior Negro moving pictures of class and merit The Lincoln has proved bevond a doubt that we can pro- duce pictures of merit and credit to the race. and pictures that are entertaining to iz races. The company Has succeeded in establishing its own distrib- uting exchanges in the east under the management of race men of experience, ability and influence. | The enormous demand for its pictures in the east is ample proof that the exhibitor and public alike greatly welcome its advent. The press is loud/in its praise for the Lincoln produc- tions and the cry of all is for more pictures. ik At the Lincoln office, 110334 Central avenue, can be found numerous testimonials to the above facts. | | ‘The Company has nine prints of its two: re running in the east and yet there is a great demand for bookings. Some ‘of the big eastern dealers have not hesitated to’ buy tettitorial rights on these pictures arid are asking. fot rights on future. re- leases. } i The Company will soon begin wokr on its third release. All Racg people should heartily endorse an enterprise of its kind destined to foster an uplifting sentiment for the Race in the eyes of the world. HY] With the advent of the new year we wish the Lincoln Mo- tion Picture Company continued success and enormous growth. ‘The occasion was the celebration ‘of the.anniversary of the club. A short musical and literary _pro- gram was rendered, after whicl the curtains of the dining foo jwere drawn apart and revealed .a table stretched the lentire length of the room. The table as well las the room was tastefully decor- ated in the club colors. In the center of the beautifully decorat- ed table was a huge birthday cake. A delicious) two-course luncheon was served to the de- light of all. Toasts. on “Our Club, Its Relation to the Church aad Community ;" ?What the Club Has Meant_ t’Me:" ~The Progress the Club Has “Made.” were given by different members. This club has done a_ great work in the past year. and indi- cation are that a greater work will be accomplished this new sear than ever before.

I greet you with all the wealih of good wishes for our mutual success’and progres: during the year upon which we have just entered. As I said last week, I would probably dicuss the fertility and resources of the land of the Pap- ago Indians in Southern Ari zona, which was selected by the Committee as the future home of the race, or as many of them as desire to avail themselves of the opportunity. i We. went. over the land very carefully; in fact, there was scarcely an acre of the 100,000 that was not personally inspect- ed, as we realized that the ob- ject. in view demanded a thorough analysis at our hands, las we were the advance agents ofa great and growing colony. We were on the ground on July 26th and 27th and on the latter day went riding through a drenching rain, thus: putting to rout the general belief that is a desert country where it never rains at that Season of the year, buton the contrary, I must evn: fess that in my native State of Mlinois. I never experienced 2 more thoroughly drenchin rain after which the sun caine out an all bis warmth, and! all nature seemed to teem with growth aaa beauty. It seemed to me. and 1 simply echo the seutiments of these who were with me. wher T say that in all my experience. and I was raistd on a jarm.

I ‘These lands are never irrigated as irrigation is unnecessary, ow, ing to the fact that enough nat} ural rainfal visits this section t insure the best of crops, and w. who have ever farmed know thai natural water suply is preferabl to artificial in every instancé, and the crops that’ are gro are much better'in every particu lar. Wells are numerous through out the country, and the water has that soft and palatable taste] which is not injurious to the hu: man system the same as. tha! which comes rom an alkali soil. Taken all in all, we were really amazed at what we be held, and we wish to.emphasize again and again that to be real ized and apprecoated, one must! see for themselves, and once! seing will be forever convinced.

Bass, Manager ANNEX keeping and Single Rooms e at Reasonable Rates 346 West F Street Ustairs THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE ILenness is a silent and peaceful quality that neither raises envy by ostentation nor hatred by opposition. There are some who profess idleness in its full dignity; they boast because they do nothing, and thank their stars that they have nothing to do—who sleep every night until they cannot sleep any longer, and then rise, only that exercise may enable them to sleep again. Such a person is an annoyance—he is of no use to anybody—he is an intruder in the busy thoroughfare of every-day life—he is of no advantage; he annoys busy men—he makes them unhappy. He is a confused workshop for the devil to tinker in, and no good can ever be expected from him. In fact he is a nuisance in the world, and needs abatement for the public good. Idleness is the bane of body and mind, the nurse of naughtiness, the chief author of all mischief; one of the seven deadly sins—the cushion upon which the devil reposes. Of all contemptible things, there is nothing half as wretched as a lazy man. The Turks say the devil tempts everybody, but the idle man tempts the devil. A lazy man is a dead beat, and he should not be classed among the living—he is a sort of dead man that cannot be buried. We now have those among us, who would rather go hungry, and be clad in rags, than to work. Many an idle man, by means of a fine cost, a lily hand, a graceful bow, has been received into polite society circles with eclat, and walked rough-shod over a worthy young mechanic or farmer. A fine dress, in the eyes of some, covers more sins than charity. If thus a young man or woman wishes to be nobody, his or her way is easy. Young man, young woman, if you do not wish to be a nobody, or somebody much worse than nobody, then guard your youth. A lazy youth will be a lazy man, just as sure as a crooked sapling makes a crooked tree Laziness grows on people; it begins in cobweb and ends in iron chains. If you will be nothing, just wait to be somebody. That man or woman that waits for an opportunity to do much at once, may breathe out his or her life in idle wishes. But take hold of the opportunities that are constantly knocking at the door. Idler, take the foregoing home to yourself! Don't try to persuade yourself that the cap doesn't fit your, honestly acknowledge its fitness; it will be a great point gained to be honest with yourself. Begin the new year with a resolution to do something worth while. Don't be too lazy to get up on Sunday morning and attend Sunday school and morning services, and thereby increase the work of the Master, for there is work for each of us to do. And remember that your reward will be received in this world and in the world to come. The B. Y. P. U. of the Mt. Zion Baptist church is proud to say that it has an enrollment of 44 young people who are all interested in this noble work. The Union met Sunday evening and elected the following officers for the ensuing year: President, Miss A. Mulholland; Vice-President, Mr. Brooks; Recording Secretary, Miss Emma Mulholland; Assistant Secretary, Miss Katy Langley; Treasurer, Mrs. C. E. Norwood; Chaplain, Mr Ben Brown; Christians, Miss Exonia Mulholland and Miss Sonnie Mason; Librarians, Master James Langley; Assistant, Miss Mattie Mason. The officers will all be installed by the Pastor next Sunday evening. Visitors are welcome. Mrs. G. W. Woodby ha postponed her trip to the east owing to the severe weather. A grand rally will be given at the Mt. Zion church the 3rd Sunday in January in honor of the pastor. An open invitation is extended to all. Rev. E. M. Mulholland and family have moved back on Logan Avenue. Mrs. L. E. Goodwin gave a dinner the past week to a few friends: Mr. and Mrs. Lee Brown, Mrs. Pearle and Ethel Howsby, Mrs. E. M. Mulholland and Miss Annie Mulholland. Everyone had an enjoyable evening. Mr. Al Ramesy, who has been in charge of the public service at the Exposition for the past two years, received a letter of congratulation from the officials for the efficient service which he had rendered. The opening of the Young People's Social Club at Castle Hall last week was largely attended and everyone reports having had a pleasant time. The Black and Tan Orchestra was the musical feature. Mr. Huel Brooks returned from the Angel City Sundy after spending several days with his brother and relatives, and renewing old acquaintances. Master Gather Perry is the only Colored entrant in the annual cross-country-run at the San Diego High School, where he will try to bring home the honors for the Freshmen Class. The Acme Social Club were entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Humphrey at National City last week in honor of their niece, Miss Belma Williams, of Leavenworth, Kansas. Last Thursday, they were the guests of Mr. Leon Robinson, of East San Diego. The Acme Club is the Junior elite of the city, of which Miss Hazel Scott is president. The M. E. church has begun its revival services for the salvation of lost souls. Every one is cordially invited to attend these services. Mr. and Mrs. Melvin White gave a whist party at their residence on Logan Ave. last Thursday to a party of friends: Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Murry, Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Ramesy, Miss Edith Thompson, Mr. Dan Badgett and Mr. Thnoyd Cunningham. A very enjoyable evening was spent at the home of Mrs. Woodby last Thursday evening at a so-called lemon social in which each person brought a half a lemon that contained the most seeds won a prize; a good crowd was present and refreshments were served. The proceeds went to the benefit of the Mt. Zion Baptist church. The friends and relatives of Miss Ida Harper have the Eagle's deepest sympathy in their sad bereavement. It was quite a shock. We knew that she suffered from a long and severe illness, but the sad end came when least expected. Weddings in Morocco At a wedding in Morocco the women friends of the bride celebrate at her house, the groom with his friends at another. The flutesand pipes ar accompanied by the beating of great drums. The bride seits on a throne of mattresses in the center of the room. For seven days she must sit thus with downcast eyes. The principal guests are costumed similar to the bride. Their faces are painted scarlet, while eyes, under lip, palms of the hands and fingers up to the first joint are stained brown. Rings are worn on the thumbs, and anklets as well as bracelets are worn. Their feet are dyed the color of fresh iodine, and are incased in gaudy slippers. On the seventh day the bride is borne in a sort of a box to the home of her future husband amid the blare of music. If not pleased with her, he has a right to return her to her father within three months, paying again the price originally paid for her. When the woman of some of the tribes of northern Nigeria becomes a bride she puts off forever the simple girdle of twisted grass that up to that moment had been her sole adorment, and assumes the apron of leaves and the tail or kunnok, as it is called, which is a sign of marriage. This is made of palm fibre, plaited or bound together with a string. 7000-Yer-Old Mine In the museum at Cairo and also at Maghara; the curious inquirer will be shown certain tablets containing the records in Egyptian hieroglyphics of mining operations at Maghara and other localities in the peninsula of Sinai, extending over many centuries. The earliest tablet records the conquest of Sinai by King Semerkhet, who reigned a small matter of 5,280 years before the beginning of the Christian era, and the turquoise mines at Maghara were then being worked by Ethiopian slaves under the whip of Egyptian taskmasters. When the European war begun the other day—August 14—these identical mines at Maghara were being operated by a French company for turquoise and for copper. Seven thousand years of "liquidation" and not "liquidated" yet, is a pretty fair record, it must be allowed. Again, the earliest globe-trotter, whose impressions of travel have come down to us through intervening ages, was Herodotus. This grandaddy of all the trained observers—all the reporters who have encumbered the earth since B. C. 430—describes in his own imitable diction the petroleum springs at Ardericca, near Babylon, which he visited during his leisurely trip through the valley of the Euphrates, as well as the bitumen deposits of the River Is. It was chiefly for the control of this identical oil source and the pipeline from it that the English and the Turks, officered by Germans, fought it out last year in Mesopotamia. Baku, on the Caspian, where the Persian fire worshippers erected their temple by a spring of burning naptha, before the days of Augustus, boasted more than 700 producing oil wells last year, and the mines of Larium, whence ancient Athens drew the (Continued on back page) Make a Specialty of Chinese and American Djs San Diego Joy Smokes Indeed Are ETA FE & HOME INDUC CIGARS SENSENBRENNER & SONS MFR Fourth street Sau D Wine and Liquor B 530 H Street You Buy by the Drink, Pint PETER J.

S.COTT, Pres. MISS LOUISE WILLIAMS, Sec. On Monday afternoon a large representative delegation of Color, ed Citizens called upon his Honor, Mayor Fredric T. Woodman, in his Chamber at the City Hall, in the interest of the Colored Police of Greater Los Angeles. The delegation numbered about forty, and was headed by the "Fighting Parson," Dr. J. Gordon McPherson, President of the Negro Clean Government; League, W. H. Sundees, Chairman of Executive Committee of the Civic League; Attorney Isadore D. Blair; J. H.

They protected against the dismissal of Patroiman W. E. Spencer, who was summerily dismissed about a month ago by Chief Butler on the alleged charge of his being implicated in a Hold Up in San Diego Chinese Lottery Joint. They also called the Mayor's attention to the discrimination in the Police Department against the Negro Officers, and they are among the best when it comes to the Annual Inspection. The color line is drawn so closely that no Negro Officers in the past few years has ever appeared in the Annual Inspection and Review. The Mayor assured them that no discrimination would be tolerated in any department during his administration. WATTS NEWS Mrs. Mickson's mother was buried Tuesday. Rev.

Imported and Domestic WOOLENS 600 Atlantic St. YES, COOK WILL GET YOU Main 64 F-3164 THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE this time permitted to preach to the Gentiles, Matt. 10:5 and Acts 10:14 and 34, 35, Cornelius being the first Gentile convert. Therefore the people referred to in Acts 2:9-12, could have not referred to Gentiles for Peter was the main spokesman and he said, Acts 10:14, Lord, I have never eaten anything common or unclean, referring to Fellowship the Gentiles. That these were all Jews is evident from the following reason, Neh. 1:8 and Lev. 26:33. Jehovah told them if they did not obey his law he would scatter them among all nations. That this was carried out is evident, Ps. 44:11. It was while thus scattered that their language became mixed with the nations among whom they were, this is evidenced in the fact that Russian Jews cannot understand German Jews. Verse 7, Bebold are not all these that speak Galileans? (Galilean Jews) Verse 5 says that the multitude were Jews, devout men, literally devout Jews, out of every nation mentioned in verses 9-12. These heard the Galilean Jew speaking in the original Hebrew tongue wherein they were born, thus fulfilling the prophecy in Zephniah 3:9. For them will I turn to the people a pure language that they may call upon the name of the Lord to serve him with one consent. Thus the wonder was that the Galileans (Jew) were able to drop their brogue and the others were able to understand the original tongue. Now our friends, both black and white that you refer to, though many of them above the average so far as intelligence is concerned, missed it by reasoning from a false hypothesis. First that there were sixteen different nationalities gathered there. Verse 22. Peter addressed them as "ye men of Israel." Verse 29 again men and brethren. Now if St. Peter preached to all nationalities at this time he certainly would not have objected when called to go down and preach to Cornelius. Acts. 10:14. Second, That God's aim at Pentecost was the launching of a movement for the conversion of the world, and that he had gathered representatives of all nations there to be witnesses of the fact, so that out from that one meeting a missionary movement was started that should culminate in the saving the people in Heaven or the damming in a lake of fire and brimstone. (This is perhaps as men would have arranged it) but God planned to gather the church. 1 Cor. 1:2. The body of Christ. Eph. 1:22. 23. The Bride of Christ. Rev. 21:9. The 144,000 who are to be joint heirs and sit with Christ on the throne. Rev. 14:1:5 blessing all the families of the earth. Gen. 28:14. Gal. 3:16 and 29. And when there was not enough Israelites, indeed found, God visited the Gentiles to take remainder from these nations. Rom. 11:25; Acts 15:14:17; Acts 3:19-21. Then the earth shall bring forth in one day (a thousand year day) and a nation be born at once. Isa. 66:8. Thus when the 144,000 is complete then the wilderness and shall be glad for them. The desert shall blossom as the rose and the ransomed of the Lord will return (from Death) and come with rejoicing. Isa. 35 Ch. There shall be no more an infant of day nor an old man that hath not filled his days for one shall die as a child an hundred years old. But the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. Isa. 65:20. Further described, Zech. 14:6-7 and Rev. 21. Now about the Baptism or outpouring of the Holy Spirit, there was only two, and these are recorded so that the earnest seeker after the Truth may not be in darkness. Acts 2:24. On the apostles, as the representatives of the Jewish part of the church and was not repeated even when Peter preached to that immediate congregation. Acts 2:41. Second, On Cornelius and his household three and a half years later representatives of the Gentiles part of the church of Christ, Acts 10:34-39, of which God is taking out a people for his name. This outpouring of the holy spirit was typified by the anointing oil poured on Aaron's head. Psf1 133:2. The oil representing the Holy Spirit was only poured. on Aaron's head, and it ran down over the members of his body, with the Holy Spirit, it has been running down on the members of Christ's mystical body, even now to the feet of members.

Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 11, 1917. Managing Editor of California Eagle. Dear Madam-I don't feel that the excellent service your are rendering through the medium of the California Eagle ought to go entirely unnoticed. For my part I have received manifold returns from my advertisement in the California Eagle in the State; and in fact, the United States. But a few days ago I received an order for my hair goods from Marysville, La., a little town I did not know was on the map, and my new customer was frank in stating that it was by way of the Eagle that she became acquainted with my wonderful discovery. May the Eagle continue to stretch her wings to the four corners of the earth and accomplish as much good in molding better sentiment for the Race along with the awakening of greater business interest in racial enterprises. Wishing you success in the coming year, The colored young men of Southern California are greatly interested in athletics. In drawing the several other cities, well populated by Negroes, it is necessary to have assistance from a well known influential establishment. You have an active and interested athletic exponent connected with you in Mr. Hilbert Rozier as he showed during the football season last, when Los Angeles met Pasadena at football. The first movement is to urge a league between the several cities where your paper is distributed. I am sure, according to the opinion of the young people, a sporting page would very much increase your circulation. As I am as much interested in the athletics as any one else I hope that you will give us your more sincere help and use your influence in the progress of the younger generation. Yours truly, CHARLE BLACK. 994 E. 36th St., City. Southern White Man Wants to Know Who Started Holy Roller Movement in Los Angeles Oscar, Ky., Dec. 27, 1916. County Clerk of Los Angeles. Cal. Dear Sir— I want to write you in regards to the Pentecost or Holey Rolly started. I heard they started in Los Angeles, Cal., by a crowd of Negroes. If you know this to be so, please send me a printed letter stating the facts about it, and oblige, Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 8, 1917 Mr. G. P. Dismukes, O. Y. H. Yours of the 27th ult. addressed to the County Clerk of Los Angeles County was duly received, and the writer being also an employee of said company, and also having been in the city at the time of said movement's beginning and personally acquainted with its promoter, your letter was turned over to me. Now as to the crowd—unfortunately it was started by both colored and white together. I think that the responsibility of their error Jay not in the fact of the color of their skin, but in their misconception of the Bible. Their prominent doctrinal misconception was the individual reception of the Holy Spirit, and the evidence as designated the speaking in unknown tongues which they supposed Acts 2:4-8, 11 taught. We call attention first to the fact that it was only the eleven apostles that spoke, Acts 1:24-26, 2:1-4. We next call attention to the fact that this was a Jewish Pentacost and that the Gentiles, all other nations, were not permitted to assemble in the Temple, nor were the Apostles at Readers Attention Are you satisfied with working all your life at starvation wages and keeping your nose to the grindstone? Why not seek independence and comfort in life? There are many ways to attain it if you only know how. All you need is an opportunity to get into a legal and honest money-making enterprise on the ground floor, and at the right time and you are in the road to success. This is Your Opportunity--The Chance of Your Life to join us in the Oil Land Development Industry—the greatest money-making industry of today. Small investors have made and are still making fabulous profits from oil and oil lands. In many instances small investors have made from $50 to $500 for every dollar invested. You can have the same opportunity if you will accept our cooperation. This is an opportunity so unique and so remarkable in its profit-earning possibilities that it should awaken the interest of every person to whose attention this announcement comes. It offers an opportunity for you to invest a large or small sum in a same, clean, economically managed company on a most profitable cooperative profit sharing basis with all the stock rights illiminated. JUST THINK, $75 in cash or in 15 monthly payments will secure deed to eight large oil lots and an interest in all the oil out of four or more wells, to be drilled under our liberal cooperative profit-sharing plan, giving each investor a chance to secure a LARGE MONTHLY INCOME from the oil at well as from the land, being situated in the center of three large oil fields in Hardin County, Texas. Said fields produced more than 10,000,000 barrels of oil in 1914-15, and more than 50 gushers, from 1,000 to 10,000 barrels came in during that time. Single lots in the fields near by have sold for $1,000 to $15,000. Our investors will have the same chance, after we have brought in one or two wells to sell their land for just as much or more. We have only one thousand shares in all, (each share consists of eight lots, being one-fourth of an acre,) therefore the profit for each share will be large. The following illustration will show the profit each investor will receive out of a certain number of barrels at the present price of oil: Should our first well prove to be a 5,000 barrel producer, then each share of eight lots will receive $150 a month and should the first four wells produce 20,000 barrels, then each share of eight lots will receive $600 a month. CERTAINLY, NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER BEEN OF FERED THE PUBLIC BEFORE You probably have neglected many a money-making opportunity but dont neglect this one, it means your fortune, and is right within your reach.

The pastor preached two edifying sermons, which were well received. The watch meeting was a great success. The Helping Hand Society under Mrs. Robt. True, presented $1200 as a New Year's gift from the little sacks so generously filled by friends from all parts of the city. Six dollars to the church and six to the pastor. The pastor spoke in highest terms commending the Helping Hand for the great help it had rendered, raising over $5000 since conference. The pastor thanked the many members and friends for so kindly remembering his wife and himself during the Christmas season. Besides a great many useful presents, including groceries and turkey, we received $2500 in money, for which we are very grateful to friends all over the city. We wish the New Age and the citizens of Los Angeles a happy new year, us all meet in the Union Revival at the First Church LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGRE GATIONAL CHURCH 34th St. and Central Ave. E. E. Lightner, Minister The closing day of the old year was fittingly observed in three splendid services at this church. The pastor occupied the pulpit at the morning service, speaking on "The Christian's Mission." Following a very warm meeting of the Christian Endeavor Society in the evening, a musical program was rendered to the delight of all present. At the watch meeting which began promptly at eleven o'clock the presence of the Holy Spirit was manifest in the testimonies and prayers offered. On next Sunday there will be communion at both morning and evening services. Let every member be present to partake of this first communion of the new year. The pastor will occupy the pulpit at both services. Morning, "Gain by Sacrifice." Evening, "Love to an Unseen Saviour." Christian Endeavor, 630 p.m. Topic. Are You Evading Moral Issues? Matt. 12.22-30 (consecration meeting). Mrs. Joseph, leader A cordial welcome to all services PHILLIPS CHAPEL C. M. E. CHURCH 1406 Newton St Rev. J. C. Anderson, Pastor Sunday was a day long to be remembered in the annals of this church on account of the glorious services enjoyed both morning and evening. The pastor preached at both the services and the two discourses were enjoyed to the highest by the splendid congregations who were in attendance. The watch meeting services were especially enjoyable and the people praised the Lord and enjoyed a resi- olution meeting well into the new year. The pastor and his family were, the recipients of numerous tokens from their friends and well wishers. The members and friends gave the pastor a purse of $16.05 as a Christmas present at the Christmas tree on the night of the 23rd of December. Many thanks for the same. The burden of the many resolutions at the watch meeting services were that every member and friend was going to labor to make this one of the very best years in the history of the church and everyone pledged themselves to do their utmost to bring about this much desired result. Quite a few visitors were with us in service on the last Sabbath in 1916 and a cordial invitation is extended to them to come and worship with us again. The pastor and congregation are moved to the union church at the First A. M. E. this week and will be until the close. Next Sunday is communion service and the officers and pastor are expecting the membership out in large numbers. WARD A. M. E. CHURCH 1354 Channing Street. Rev. J. W Price. Pastor We are very thankful to the Almighty for the very successful manner in which we were able to close the old year. From the Sunday School in the morning the great wave of enthusiasm swept on through the day—a splendid morning service, only to be followed up by the very interesting and novel afternoon service, and great Sunday School review conducted by Mrs. J. C Slaughter, assisted by Prof. Hale and Dr. Eason. The meeting was well attended and all had such a good time that it was decided that this review will be held once per quarter. The great audience was divided up into classes and of course the women led this time. The evening service concluding with a watch meeting closed a very profitable day's worship. Thanks be to God for it all. Services Sunday.

Greggs, Pastor Soul stirring services marked the close of the year at this church. Beginning with the Sunday school session and continuing on throughout the watch services, the members and friends who crowded into Odd Fellows Hall for worship, enjoyed an old time gospel feast. The pastor, with his usual force delivered two wonderful and impressive messages which touched the hearts of his hearers with telling effect. His text for the morning was Isa. 41st chapter 10th verse. In the evening he preached from St. Luke 24:29. Eight accessions to membership were made, including four converts. WESLEY M. E. CHURCH NOTES Rev. W. E. Kinchen, our former pastor, has kindly consented to fill his old familiar place in Wesley's pulpit Sunday, January 7.

CHURCH AND SOCIAL AC TIVITIES IN CROWN CITY HIGH SPIRITUAL FERVOR MARKS NEW YEAR'S OPEN- ING AT A. M. E. CHURCH A watch-night service such as the church has seldom seen marked the beginning of the New Year at the A.M. E. church last Sunday. This service closed a day of profitable meetings in Sunday School. Young People's meetings as well as at the regular services. At morning service the pastor preached and one accession from the Sunday School was recorded. The Young People's meeting enjoyed a program by the girls of the society. The evening service proper was given over to a social concert by the choir, assisted by Mrs. Corrine B. Hicks and Miss Inez Madison. Followed an intermission during which refreshments were enjoyed. The watch service began promptly at 10:30. Short exhortations by Brothers Isaac and Wm. Prince and a praise and prayer service conducted by the pastor deeply stirred the crowd that filled the lecture room. One accession was made in service Plans for a four nights' Anniversary and Fair for February 21, 2, 3 and 4th were announced Sunday. This will prepare for the big rally.

SCOTT CHAPEL NOTES The last Sunday in the old year was a day of great inspiration and blessing to the members and friends of this church. The sunrise prayer meeting started the day with a great outpouring of the spirit which continued through the Sabbath School and the 11 o'clock service and the watch meeting service which concluded the biggest day that many of us have ever seen. Fine audiences turned out at all services. Pastor Kinchen delivered his Christmas message at the 11 o'clock service. In the evening the choir rendered the great oratorio "Emmanuel." and so wonderful was the singing and so helpful has it been to the audience who heard it. that Madam E. Monroe Beavers is being urged to repeat the same at some early date. This splendid effort goes very far in proving the great ability and fine leadership of Mrs. Beavers and the great power she has in bringing out the inner message of all the music that she handles. Professor W. V. Howard and his fine girls. Elnora and Jennette, assisted the choir. The last part of the evening service was given over to a very unique way of observing the watch meeting. At 10 minutes of 12. Pastor Kinchen had all the congregation to bow while he administered the Holy Communion and as the clock struck 12 the last person in the house was served with this holy emblem. It sent a great thrill through the hearts of the people and gave them a great vision of their relationship to God for the year 1017. Next Sunday the pastor will preach his New Year's sermon at the evening service and all the friends are cordially invited to attend these services.

A sergeant commanded the soldiers at the church, and when the parson had read the prayers he took the text. Those who had Bibles took them out, but this soldier had neither Bible nor common prayer book, and pulling out a pack of cards, he spread them before him. He first looked at one card and then another. The sergeant of the company saw him and said: "Richard, put up the cards. This is no place for them." "Never mind that," said Richard. When the services were over a constable took Richard prisoner and brought the magistrate. "Well," said the magistrate, "what have you brought the soldier for?" "For playing cards in the church." "Well, soldier, what have you to say for yourself?" "Much, sir, I hope." "Very good. If not, I will punish you severely." "I have been," said the soldier, "almost six weeks on the march. I have neither Bible nor common prayer book. I have nothing but a pack of cards, and I hope to satisfy your worship of the purity of my intention." Then, spreading the cards before the magistrate, he began with the age: "When I see the ace, it reminds me that there is but one God. "When I see the deuce, it reminds me of Father and Son. "When I see the trey, it reminds me of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. "When I see the four, it reminds me of the four evangelists that preached — Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. "When I see the five, it reminds me of the wise virgins that trimmed their lamps; there were ten, but five were wise and five were foolish, and were shut out. "When I see the six, it reminds me that in six days the Lord made heaven and earth. "When I see the seven, it reminds me that on the seventh day God rested from the great work He had made and hallowed it. "When I see the eight, it reminds me of the eight reelegentious persons, who were saved when God destroyed the world, viz: Noah and his wife, his three sons and their wives. "When I see the nine, it reminds me of the nine lepers that were cleansed by our Savior: there were nine of them that returned thanks. "When I see the ten, it reminds me of the Ten Commandments which God handed down to Moses on the tables of stone. "When I see the king, it reminds me of the great King of Heaven, which is God Almighty. "When I see the queen, it reminds me of the Queen of Sheba, who visited Solomon, for she was as wise a woman as he was a man. She brought with her fifty boys and fifty girls, all dressed in boys apparel, for King Solomon to tell which were boys and which were girls. The King sent for them to wash. The girls washed to the elbows, the boys to the wrists. So King Solomon told by that." "Well," said the magistrate, "you have described every card in the pack except one." "What is that?" "The knave," said the magistrate. "I will give your honor a description of that, too, if you will not be angry." "I will not," said the magistrate. "if you do not term me to be the knave." "The greatest knave I know is the constable who has brought me here." "I do not know," said the magistrate, "if he is the greatest knave, but I know he is the greatest fool." "When I count how many spots there are in a pack of cards, I find 365, as many as there are days in the year. When I count the number of cards in a pack, I find 52—the number of weeks in a year. "I find there are twelve picture cards in a pack, representing the number of months in a year, and on counting the tricks I find thirteen, the number of weeks in a quarter. So, you see, a pack of cards serves for a Bible, an almanac and a common prayer book." IN SOCIETY Mrs. I. Watts entertained in honor of her husband's birthday with a dutch luncheon. The tables were beautiful, having at each place old German steins and a centerpiece of American Beauty roses. Twelve friends enjoyed Mr. Watts' surprise and departed, saying Mrs. Watts was an ideal "dutch woman." Miss Benahall Hall and sister, Mrs. James, entertained about thirty fireens New Year's eve night with a beautiful dancing party. Decorations were of poinsettias and Christmas bells. Dainty refreshments were served at 12:30. No need to say that all the guests had a most enjoyable time, because they always do at this special place. The Cosmopolitan Club ball, given New Year's night was a grand success, both in attendance and in the amount of class, the new feature being in the giving of prizes with lucky numbers. About twenty prizes were given during the evening. Miss Della Dogins is still very ill at her home at East 57th St. Mrs. Louisa Littlejohn Walsh entertained with an all-night dancing party New Year's Eve. Fifty young friends enjoyed Mrs. Walsh's hospitality. Music was furnished by Mr. Smith and Mr. Walsh. At two o'clock a tempting table was set and the guests enjoyed one of the most delightful spreads of the year. Dancing them occupied the rest of the evening, until Mr. Walsh played "Home, Sweet Home" at 5 a.m. Wonder why Miss. Clyde Brown gave her Cocoa away to a strange young man when she was so hungry? No one can play the "Homesickness Blues" like Miss Josephine Brown. Such a touch! Miss L. Lucas felt pretty shaky one day last week, when she received a card saying a telegram and a special delivery letter were waiting her call. Really, she couldn't get up there alon. So she persuaded a friend to go along to catch her if the worst came. On opening the message, she read these sad words: "Baby, send your mother a pound cake right away." Mr. and Mrs. Tanter entertained in honor of Mr. McFarland, visiting here from Oakland. This was one of the prettiest dancing parties of the winter season. About twenty young people lent a charm to the beautifully decorated rooms. Mrs. Saunders entertained the Anti Cant's with a dancing party last Friday night. A BEAUTIFUL NEW YEARS LUNCHEON Beginning the New Year, 1917. Mrs. J. H. Franklin served a beautiful and handsomely appointed luncheon, January 1st, at 2 o'clock twelve attractive and beautifully gowned ladies, all aglow with the New Year spirit, found their places at a huge table gay in many dainty favors and gorgeous decorations. Those present were, Mrs. W. A. Williams, Mrs. Blackshear Walley, Mrs. D. Martin, Mrs. Wm Motley, Mrs. H. Brown, Mrs. J. W. Bush, Mrs. V. Jackson, Mrs. Nathan Owens, Mrs. J. Baker, Mrs. W. H. Joyce, Miss E. Thomas, Mrs. J. H. Franklin. The guests departed declaring Mrs. Franklin an excellent hostess. RIVERSIDE The Colored citizens of Riverside packed Merricantle Hall on East 12th street, on New Year's night, the occasion being the celebration of the fifty-first anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. Never before in the history of the city did such a vast number of our people come together for this occasion. An elaborate program was prepared and rendered. Rev. F. W. Cooper presided as master of ceremonies; Mrs. Alice Streeter read the Proclamation: Rev. C. J. Lockheart spoke on "The Religious Development of the Negro Since His Freedom." Rev. G. W. Reed was the orator of the day, and he acquitted himself with credit. He reviewed the history of the Negro from the time he was brought to this country, showing his remarkable advancement, which he said, no other race could boast of. The Second Baptist Church closed a successful series of meetings on last Sunday night. Pastor Reed preached each evening. This church continues to develop along all lines, not a ripple is seen on the water. The Christmas exercises at the church were a brilliant affair. Many beautiful presents were given out. Pastor Reed and family were largely remembered. Rev. Dr. J. D. Gordon, of Los Angeles, was in the city during Christmas week, visiting relatives and friends. While here he preached several nights at the Park Avenue Baptist Church, and was the guest of Rev. and Mrs. Reed at dinner on Friday. The family reunion of the Gordons brought together 61 persons of that family. The meeting was at the home of Deacon H. B. Gordon, of East Twelfth street. Rev. and Mrs. C. J. Lockheart and Rev. and Mrs. G. W. Reed were the guests of Mrs. Williams, of Brockton avenue, on New Year's Day.

The All-American League is preparing for a mighty display of the progress and the advancement of the people at their second annual conclave at Exposition Park on February 22nd. The governor of South Carolina is to be commended for the effort he is making to discourage lynching and no doubt the effort to check the exodus of Negroes from the Southland can be successful if the South will give him protection and a man's chance in the race of life. LET'S ORGANIZE MONEY A prominent visitor in this city has inscribed as a motto on his personal business cards, these words: "We have organized man: Let's organize money." To our mind this is the missing link to the success of the Negro in this section in the business world. The evidence is at hand that this has been his weakness, his failure to successfully organize money. The Japanese, the Greeks and all other nationalities have outstripped us in organizing our forces along the line of business efforts and now it is apparent to all that the crying need is to organize money. We have been successful in organizing churches, lodges, and with the same genius put forth along business lines we could no doubt be equally as successful along the mercantile lines. There are many more of our people in this city than there are of Japanese but note the difference in the showing along the lines of business endeavor, the Japanese have learned not only to organize "man," but have been taught the lesson of organizing "money." The bearer of the card has made a success in life. He has by practical demonstration made good and has a competence for life, and the citizens of Los Angeles would no doubt welcome his counsel and advice along the lines of the motto he presents and we have no doubt but that he would gladly collaborate along these lines if invited to do so. A WORTHY APPEAL. Galveston, Texas. Dec. 9. 1916 To the Negro Press of America and the Citizenship of America: We wish to review the Texas City outrage and false imprisonment case of August 18, 1915. The case was filed in the United States Court, June Term, 1916, for damages in the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars. On account of an error in the petition, as to jurisdiction the Court held that the case should be brought in the District State Court of the County in which the wrongs were committed and not originally in the Federal Court. Facts about the case: In August, 1915, General J. Franklin Bell, the Board of Trade and the Mayor of Texas City ordered seven thousand United States soldiers and all of the city policemen to round up the whole of the Negro population in Texas City. This order did not include any other nationality. This shameful and disgraceful act was obeyed to the letter and the spirit in which it was given. After having driven men, women and children through the streets under guards on horseback armed with pistols and army guns, like cattle to a selected place, there they separated husbands from wives and children from parents. The organized the men in squads of ten and placed United States soldiers over each squad, making them work the streets all day and jailed them at night. There were about two hundred men, three hundred women and two hundred children. Often the men were forced to get into water waist deep without pay in cleaning up the streets of Texas City. Many of the men were beat over the head with pistols. At night they were compelled to sleep on a cement floor without bedding of any kind. Treatment accord the women: Our women were separated from their husbands and placed in another building sixteen blocks away unprotected. Many of them were insulted by the soldiers. One old lady was carried there on a cot. She was very much excited and shocked by the treatment and did not live very long after the prison camp closed. The prison camp lasted for the long period of five days and nights. This concerns the whole Negro race throughout the world. The following committee asks the public for a donation of from ten to twenty-five cents each to push our case in the courts to a final determination. Secretary Garrison has had it investigated. REV. E. C. BRANCH, Chairman. REV. S. H. McNEIL, Secretary. MRS. K. MORGAN, SAM MORGAN, MRS. M. S. OLIVER, MRS. A. W. FORD, MRS. M. CADE.

With the announcement of the All-American League that its Second Annual Conclave will be held February 22, 1917, at Exposition Park beginning early in the morning and lasting throughout the day, all interest is focusing itself on that day. While the details of the program have not been announced it is asserted by those in charge that the Second Annual Conclave will surpass even that of last February. It will be recalled by the citizens of Los Angeles and vicinity that the First Annual Conclave of the All-American League, held in Exposition Park February 22, 1916, was the biggest thing of its kind ever given in this part of the country. In addition to the tremendous free barbecue given by the League, the program rendered was of a higher and different order than anything ever attempted heretofore. This year's conclave will include reports of the progress of the race and of inter-racial progress throughout California during the past year. There will be exhibits of the handiwork and achievements of colored citizens throughout California. Gold medals will be given to those making the best exhibits along particular lines. Certificates of Honorable Mention will be given those meritorious exhibitors in the order of their merit. The free barbecue promises to be more unique than anything of its kind ever given. All of the meat given in the barbecue will be raised entirely by colored citizens in California and all of the preparation and serving work will be done by colored citizens of the State of California and even the eating for the most part will be the work of colored citizens of the State of California. The program will include addresses by the leading colored, white and Japanese American citizens of the State. The one distinguishing feature of all the addresses will be a complete obliteration of the color line. Every organization among the race in the State will be invited to participate in the exhibits. All individuals and organizations interested in making exhibits along either of the following lines are invited to address their communications to the conclave Committee of the All-American League, care of 221 Lissner Bld., 524 S. Spring St., Los Angeles, Calif. The exhibits will include the following range: Domestic Arts—pastry, cooking, and general house-wifery; Industrial Arts—business and commercial activities, tailoring, carpentry work, machinery, sculpturing, metal work, mining, fisheries, agriculture, horticulture, viticulture; Fine Arts and Miscellaneous. A special department of exhibits will provide for sworn statements shown the progress made by various race institutions, such as Lodges, Churches, Societies, Clubs and the like. These articles should be carefully typewritten and accompanied by pictures illustrating the same. To use the words of the Conclave Committee, February 22nd has been set aside as a day of feast and triumph for all of the colored citizens of California. All eyes and faces will be turned in the direction of Exposition Park early in the morning of February 22nd. Detailed announcements of the classification of the exhibits and medals will be made in next week's paper. In the meantime all prospective exhibitors are urged to communicate with the Conclave Committee by letter immediately, requesting reservation of space for exhibits. THE BOOKER T. WASHINGTON MEMORIAL FUND DAY AT THE FORUM CIVIC LEAGUE HALL FULLY SUCCESSFUL Los Angeles, by no means, is void of music talent yet, far from a musical unit when it comes to a phrase of organization. The many musical talents that the city is heir to, is void of a deserving appreciation and fond adoration, due to the fact that they have failed to organize and become co-workers in the music ranks. A get-together movement has been appreciatively planned by Dr. W. C. Gordon and others, whereby a fostering of interest among the music lovers of the city might be fruitful in the scope of the public entertainments, as well as reciprocal in its nature, and a special training to the individual. By Walt L. Gordon The campaign of the Forum and public spirited citizens to raise Los Angeles' part of the memorial fund for Tuskegee and incidently to commemorate the life of the lamented leader, Booker T. Washington, was successful beyond all cavil, even though right after Christmas and in the midst of the holidays. There was a capacity house, standing room was at a premium in the rear. Every number was heartily applauded. Miss Bertha Miller and Edna Heard of Santa Monica sang in great style. They both have voices of depth and compass. Prof. J. C. Banks, formerly of Tuskegee, but now of the U. S. Custom service, impressed all with his knowledge and flow of correct English. His talk was instructive indeed. Rev. B. C. Robeson's oration was a triumph—shows him to be a scholar and a pulpit orator of no mean rank. Sometime agoft a goodly number of persons, versed in music and music lovers, met at the home of Mrs. Bacon on West 36th street. The Choral Society listened with zeal and interest to the outline and plans of the work by their director, Dr. Gordon. The schedule of the work was explained, which showed a beneficiary in its character both to the public and each participant of the Choral Society. The society will meet Thursday evening, Jan. 11, at 8 o'clock, at the Second Baptist Church, Maple avenue. At this special meeting, a completion of the election of officers will take place; together with the adoption of the constitution and by-laws of the society. All persons desiring a connection with the Choral Society, in any way are very cordially invited to be present at this meeting, for all persons of good moral standing and musically inclined desiring to increase their musical talent, and who are willing to cooperate with the society, its director and officers-to engender success, are eligible to member- Mr. Noah D. Thompson, talked intimately of Dr. Washington, as he was very closely connected with him in his work at Tuskegee. The Seventh Day Adventist choir under Mr. R. A. Lawrence furnished music. Master Malcolm Patton rendered a violin selection. Mrs. E. E. Barr made an appeal to perpetuate the name and work of Dr., Washington by helping. Cash and subscriptions amounted to $30.82. The New Age and The California Eagle both gave liberal checks. Mrs. E. E. Barr, treasurer, announced that $73.19 had already been subscribed, making a total of $104.01. Los Angeles proposes to raise $250 as her share of the fund. This was the second meeting for such purpose.

Bush entertained about 30 friends at her home 1311 W. 35th Place on the evening of Dec. 27th. The occasion was a surprise party to her husband in honor of his birthday. The richly furnished home was a fitting background for the beautiful gowns worn by those who were fortunate to receive a card inviting them. The color scheme was green and red and the rooms were permeated with eastern fragrance; these with other decorations blended perfectly tipifying the noted Oreintal dens. Dainty refreshments were served as well as good music throughout the evening. Among those present were: Rev. and Mrs. Greggs, Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin, Mr. and Mrs. Franklin, Mr. and Mrs. Seay, Mr. and Mrs. Russell, and Mr. Rodgers, father of Mrs. Russell who is a visiting physician from Kingston, Jamaica, Mrs. Jackson of Chicago, Mr. and Mrs. La France and others. Long Lost Brother Found A few days ago Mrs. Jennie Williams of Hemlock St. was the happiest little lady in Los Angeles.

WORLD'S RECORD BREAKING EXPOSITION CLOSES WITH IM-MENSE CROWN AND A BIG SUCCESS First Time in Two Years Ground Practically Deserted With hundreds of attendants trying to remove the confetti, tiu horns and other evidences, the world's record-breaking exposition has closed after two years of successful running. The official count showed that fully 30,000 people were present on the closing day. The employees and concession holders were busy packing and shipping some exhibits to the East, and others to San Francisco. Everything and everybody seemed to be mourning. Even the pigeons, which have delighted thousands, seemed depressed. They would miss the gay crowds and wonderful music of Tommasino's band. The Administration building was astir, stenographers taking their last dictations and filing their last letters. The animals at the zoo didn't seem to know how to account for not having crowds pointing, gazing or admiring them. The Hula girls' gay voices are no longer heard, the merry-go-round seems mourning, the roller coaster is silent, the only signs of habitation is the clang of motor trucks. The Exposition will remain open for three months, giving the concession owners time to remove their anumements. Dr. Humphrey will play each day at 2:30 as usual. The 21st Regiment will drill several times each week on the Plaza de Panama, the first drill being held Thursday evening, at which Madame Ernestine Shuman-Heink will present the colors. The weather handicapped the closing day. Had it been favorable it was estimated 50,000 people would have been present. Mr. Claude Neil, of Los Angeles, is spending a few days in our city. In making your New Years resolutions, don't forget to swear off being behind with your Eagle subscription. The rain has cleared off and the weather is predicted fair for the next few days. "Sunshine California!" The Eagle wishes everyone a happy and prosperous year. The Black and Tan orchestra has proved to be a magnet, the way it draws crowds to its dances. Another record-breaking crowd was present, which even excelled the Christmas crowd. The music and the enjoyment, if it possibly could be, seemed better. The floor was exquisite and everything was carried out just so. Numerous rumors stated that they had never been to a dance they enjoyed as much as this one. The Black and Tan orchestra will continue to give its weekly dances every Wednesday night, and if you persuade yourself to come out once we know you will come again. The rain did not prevent thousands from visiting Tia Juana New Year's Day. Large numbers of Los Angeles people were seen in the crowd. They would have come home richer and wiser had "Custom House" been true to her colors. Wednesdays are still off days, while Ladies are admitted free Tuesdays and Fridays, as usual. A large crowd was present and witnessed a hotly-fought debate last Tuesday evening on the advantages of country and city life. The country life was proven to be the most favorable to the individual. Very interesting talks were given by Messrs. Mulholland and Mason and Messrs. A. Brooks, Busie and Goodwin. The next meeting will be an open discussion on whether capital punishment is justifiable. A large crowd is expected, and we hope you will be one of the number to enjoy these debates. Mr. B. C. Reese, of the Santa Fe was on the sick list this week. We are glad to know he is out again and all smiles. Mrs. Hanks, of Los Angeles, accompanied her husband to the city to take in the Exposition before it closed, this being her first trip to San Diego. She reports having one of the most enjoyable times since coming to California. Mr. Hanks is employed by the Santa Fe. Rev. Guy, of the Bethel A. M. E. Church, accompanied by the Presiding Elder, Rev. Wilson, reports that they enjoyed a wonderful quarterly meeting, Dec. 31, ending with a grand watch meeting. DEPARTMENT Calexico is now the livest town in the Imperial Valley. Our people are making money. There is plenty of work for all. Colored men are doing well on the ranches. Several have good, serviceable automobiles. Those who are in businesses sare making good. Mr. Lott, the lunch man, has a nice place on Second street, the main street of the town. He feeds all the people, regardless of color. Mr. Jas. Akers has a first-class cigar stand, the best in this section of the State. Mr. Frank Collins conducts a clothes cleaning shop. He is building up a substantial business. Their businesses are also on Second street. Mr. George W. Holloway's rooming house is overcrowded each night. He cannot accommodate the people who are coming into town. His barber shop is well patronized by all races. He has a good team, which is kept busy hauling for a firm in this vicinity. Mr. Hooe is in the express business. He is a live man in the right place. Mrs. Mary Stewart has just completed a two-story brick building with rooming and office facilities combined. She readily found renters at a good profit. Mr. E. E. Myers has a brick building on Imperial avenue with two floor spaces. One side he rents to an electric company. He conducts an up-to-date barber shop in the other space. Mr. Myers' and Mrs. Stewart's buildings are in the heart of the business district. Mr. Bert Jackson is cotton sampler at the Calexico compress. He is well liked and trusted by his employees. Mr. Frank Webb and wife, the pioneer real estate owners among our people, have several renting houses on the east side, and good vacant property in the center of the town. The Colored boys, so far, have control of the shine parlors. Rent houses cannot be had at present. Building rent houses houses would be profitable for someone of our race who has money to spare. Through the kindness of the Southern California Christian Association. El Bethel Church (Colored) will soon have a church house to worship in. The Christian Missionary Society donated them a lot. They expect to build in a short time. Rev. E. C. Dyer is pastor of this church. Mr. Emert, the theater manager, has willingly given the use of his building to hold services in until the church, is erected. Within ten days Calexico will begin its street paving. This will be the first paving laid in this town. Sober, industrious race men and women are always in demand and readily find a welcome here. Mrs. Mallory, Mrs. Hayden and Mr. John Connor have private rooming places. They cannot care for all who wish to stop with them over night. Mr. Shumate, who came to Calexico as an invalid two years ago, is managing his own business and making money. The climate here in winter is mild. Everybody seems to be making money and is happy. SUCCESSFUL FOWLER RANCHER MEETS UNTIMELY DEATH. Mr. Lee N, Crane, one of Fowler's most successful Colored ranchers, was kicked by a young horse on his own ranch a few months ago, the result of which was temporary insanity. Mr. Crane was confined at the State institution at Patton about four weeks, and passed away there last Tuesday morning at 6:30. The last funeral rites were observed at the Second Baptist Church, Friday afternoon, Jan. 5th, at 2 o'clock, Smith & Williams, undertakers, were in charge. Mr. Crane leaves a wife, one sister and two sons to mourn his loss, all of whom are in this city.

GREAT OPPORTUNITY In Orange county, near Anaheim, G. W. Bright, well known pioneer fireman of this city, at present a lieutenant at Hose Cart company No. 4, owns a tract of land consisting of about 28 acres. In order to save this property to the race and its posterity, Mr. Bright is forming a syndicate to take over one-half of this property, the assessed valuation of which is $800 per acre. This land is planted to orange trees and English walnuts, which are already bearing. Now, Mr. Bright has a splendid plan of selling shares at $5.00 per share, and on this plan lies the hope of procuring enough of our people to buy these shares to save this property for the colored people. We have looked over the papers and we have no hesitancy in commending the same. For particulars call G. W. Bright, Wilshire 3842, or see him in person.

Wheras, Our Heavenly Grand Patron, in his all wise providence has called our beloved sister and P. W. M., Sister Fannie J. Johnson from her earthly cares and sorrows to that beautiful land above, where no night cometh and where the light of his presence maketh eternal day, and Whereas, Her passing has taken an another link from our fraternal chain, thereby reminding us of the frailty of all things mortal, and Whereas, The home of which our beloved friend was the light and joy for a brief span is suddenly darkened and saddened because she is no more, be it Resolved, That we regret the loss Queen of Sheba Chapter No. 7, O. E. S., has sustained by the death of Sister Fannie J. Johnson and that we express our deepest sympathy to the faithful husband so sadly bereaved. Be it Further Resolved, That we believe that in our departed sister the Christian graces, embodied in our beautiful star, were exemplified to the highest degree, that earth is made poorer by her departure, and heaven is richer by her entrance. Also, be it Resolved. That it is the earnest prayer of this chapter that our Heavenly Father give her loved ones the strength to bear their heavy grief, and our sisterhood the will and determination to practice the Christian virtues of our departed heroine, and that her memory be treasured in our hearts until we, too, shall have answered the final call and are reunited with her in that land of perfect day where there is no need of sun, nor moon, nor stars, and where he himself doth rule; and lastly, be it Resolved. That a copy be sent to the press and a copy to the family THE. N. A. A. C. P. (Contributed by E. Burton Cerutl) A resume of the work of the National Association for the advancement of Colored People during the past year shows a total membership of 8642 paid members, of which number 7572 are members of locals. There are seventy locals widely scattered, from Key West, Fla., to Seattle, Wash., holding in their respective treasuries the aggregate sum of $5000.02 for local needs. Their membership ranges from four stalwart adherents of the Muskogee local, in the State of Oklahoma, to the magnificent and powerful local of the District of Columbia, carrying 691 active members. In the Pacific group are found the Los Angeles local, of Los Angeles, Calif., 77 members; Northern California local, San Francisco, Calif., 205 members; Portland local, Portland, Ore., 25 members; Seattle local, Seattle, Wash., 27 members; and the Walla Walla local, Walla Walla, Wash., 12 members. The annual meeting of the association will be held at New York City, Jan. 2, 1917. It promises to be the most interesting in its history. The Northern California branch, of San Francisco, perhaps the most active and healthy organization in the Pacific group, contributed $220.12 to the Anti-Lynching fund and besides raised $181.85, the proceeds of their annual concert, for local purposes. The Los Angeles branch, of which the Rt. Rev. Joseph H. Johnson, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles, is president, contributed during the year $110 to the Anti-Lynching fund, and raised $52.01 for local needs. SPIRITUALLY REIUVENATED Department "I" of the Woman's State Convention, of which Mrs. P. Hubert is president, met in regular quarterly session Sunday afternoon at Mt. Zion-Baptist church. State President Mrs. A. E. Webber was present, and spoke encouragingly of the work Mrs. V. Fingers read an interesting paper on Missionary Service, and Mrs. C. A. Bass addressed a few remarks to the Circle. There were not a great many present, but there was a sort of spiritual rejuvenation, and women went away with a renewed determination to do greater Missionary service.

"Spirit return is a truth." This is the gist of a message from Hugo Munsterberg, psychology professor of Harvard, who died December 16, while lecturing at Radcliffe. The message was received by a Brookline woman—an entire stranger—who says that she did not know Prof. Munsterberg and never heard him speak before. She is Miss Caroline T. Pillsbury, who says, that while she is psychic and an explorer in the field of spirit-return, she is not a medium She is the editor of a weekly publication in Boston, called Boston Ideas and was formerly assistant editor of the Boston Times. She is also well known as a suffrage advocate. The message, she says, was conveyed to her unexpectedly by a medium in whom she has complete confidence. The spirit spoke through the medium, saying in part: "When I was an inhabitant of the earth, I always endeavored to be honest with myself and honest with the public and I did not then find any proofs that excarnate beings communicate with their earth friends. "I am still living and I still endeavor to be honest with myself and the world. I therefore bring this message: Although I have been in the spirit-world but a brief time I have received absolute proof that ex-carnate beings can and do communicate with their earth firends. "However valuable the messages I may bring in future times this one today is important—spirit return is a truth. "I am Hugo Munsterberg." "These words were spoken with simplicity and directness and expressed a powerful individuality." says Miss Pillsbury. "I am absolutely certainit was he though. I did not know him and d had never heard him speak." J. A. Cooper of Topeka, Kans., who has been a ten-days visitor with his daughter, Mrs. Shepherd, on East Twelfth St., left for his home on last Thursday evening. He expressed himself as being delighted with his visit. Dr. J. D. Gordon, pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church, spent some part of last week at Riverside, but is at his post Sabbath, with no doubt a new supply of spiritual vim. Birch St. Christian'Church The regular Sunday services were held last Sunday at the church. The evening service, which was started a little later than usual on account of its being Watch Night was conducted for the first hour by Bro. W. Z. Hopper.

An audience that taxed the Forum's capacity Sunday afternoon listened to the discussion and announcements by representatives regarding the ideals, work and plans of the All American League. Prof H. D. Greer, Mrs. Spear-Bass, Attty Macbeth and Rev. Cole were introduced by Mr. Lamar as exponents of the All-American Deague. Attorney Macbeth reviewed the history of the organization and made a few very important announcements. The League is to celebrate its second anniversary with a DISPLAY AT EXPOSITION PARK FEBRUARY 22 This occasion, according to Mr. Macbeath, is to be most memorable not only in the big program of address and choral, orchestral as well as solo music, but especially in the exhibits that will be offered and the barbecue to be enjoyed. The affair is planned to display to best advantage the progress of the race in this section during the year and will serve to emphasize the work of the league. At the Forum meeting Prof. H. D. Greer delivered a remarkable address on the ideals of the All American Race and four portraits of this address in full as a means of acquainting them with the All American idea. The following excerpts from a speech made by H. Douglas Greer at the forum, Sunday afternoon, will be appreciated by those were unable to attend the meeting last Sunday. THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN PROF. H. DOUGLAS GREER Address We are come before you this afternoon to tell you about the objects and purposes of the All American League. We are here with the same determination as had Regulus on his return to Carthage. "I have returned to Carthage," he declared, "that ye may work your wills on me, this mass of flesh and bones which I esteem no worthier than the rags that cover them." The placid courage with which Regulus confronted the High Court of Carthage, has more than half redeemed his fame. After a general survey of the social, industrial and economic conditions of this country, we surmised that, politically, things were going Democratic. Long before President Wilson's reelection, the horizon was ominous with dim forebodings of Democracy. Not the kind of Democracy that is filled with humane principles of government, nor one within which there is wisdom and wise consideration for everyone, but a Democracy engendered by prejudice, ignorance and hypocrisy; a Democracy whose patent of wisdom and nobility dates back to the Civil War of 1861, when slavery the scourge of American history, fell from its attitude of supreme power. The All-American League is an organization of men and women of the State of California who are dedicated to the principle that the purpose of the American government and the purpose of American civilization as intended by the founders thereof, are that ultimately and practically, all men and women who claim America as home shall have absolutely a fair and equal chance, both under the governmental system MUTIL The ue Convinces the High Ideas and American Citizen- ip. of America and under the social and economic schemes of the common country. There is a most urgent need for this business-like and statesmanlike organization. The principles encouched will not encroach upon those of any other or similar institutions, nor will it interfere with the federal principles whose service it hopes to enlist to the end that all races and all peoples in this country may be fully warranted in proclaiming to the world, "Now we are a part of the government of the United States. The All-American League will strive to establish by peaceful parliamentary methods, these facts: That it is the inherent right of every man to say how his inheritance shall be used, and how his possessions are to be employed. All that interrefers with customs of laws, labor, domesticity, sanitation, education and religion, should be carefully examined by those whose scrutiny will not be anticipated by those who are jealous of the rapid successes of other races. In order to be able to breast the storm of the world's hate, in order to maintain our national prestige and honor, in order to avert the impending woes and dangers which are hovering over our realm, we must resolve every citizen, every political unit, into a o-n-e-n-e-s-s. Calamity, as common to all, has a softening and counteracting effect, yea, even a unifying and wholesome effect, since it boasts no lineage, knows no ethics, and is a stranger even to the impulses of chivalry and refinement. There is no prejudice in the hours of danger. The colored medico, although rejected in an official capacity, in some sections, is, however, eagerly sought after when the Grim Reacher is threatening a call. So in the hours of catastrophe there is no prejudice of race, cast nor religion, which have found admission into the habits and customs of all peoples. Humanity must build her bridges before the storm and think of fire escapes before her buildings are razed to the ground. A nation climbs through centuries to empire and becomes enslaved in a night. Through much labor and ingenuity the empire is built up, but by some small blunder it falls. So has it ever been, and so shall it ever be. The giant exertions put forth climbing upwards of a people are speedily undone by some childish effort which proves quite sufficient for the downward journey. Absolute equality is the only enduring foundations of a political democracy, hence the principles underlying the All-American League are the ever enduring foundations of any political democracy, which in its fullness will be the ever developing crown of glory of this great American nation. The All-American League teaches that there is but one standard of Americanism, and that standard includes an equal opportunity and an equal obligation for every American. A great republic cannot exist unless built upon the solid foundation of equality. The temple of democracy must be supported upon the four pillars of equality, of opportunity, of liberty, of justice, and of fraternity. You can not have solidarity of brotherhood without real equality, and you cannot have real fraternity unless the population voluntarily and willingly pledge itself to the local and national spirit of patriotism, and patriotism can be engendered only by the establishment of uniform conditions for exercise and enjoyment of manhood rights and citizenship. Society is a patriot of the higher order. He is simple minded in thought and lives the simple life True patriotism belong to the simple minded thought. It is undone by contact with great commercial activities, and it dies within complexity It is because of this fact that we meet with the highest patriotism among Negroes and a spurious patriotism within our great commercial dynasties. The poor have always fought to widen the chasm between the rich and the poor. There is no flesh in hearts of wealth—there is no patriotism save in the savage breast. When the retrogressive power was most unkind and unjust Negroes proved that they love this country and we find them chinging to it with all the fervency of childish hope. The toil of the day has been continued within that ideal of sweetest simple- LATED California Eagle San Diego, San Francisco and O LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, JANUARY ity—love of home country, God and right. No great republic should wait till calamity conspire against it to drive it in upon the friendship of those who are degraded. The retrogressive power has had its hand for ages upon certain classes of citizenship—all the more reason then that this All-American League should be welcomed as a ray of sunshine within the domicile of morbidity where the gloomy thought is ever tearing at the hope of the heart and mind of the people, of fatherland and brotherhood of som races is undermined by the suspicions, jealousies and indiscretions of some whose views are dark and dismal. With the courage of a "Regulus Reincarnate" we denounce this convenience with which some are so deeply in love] It has become the custom to excuse what we fear to condemn. Within the habitations of fear truth finds scanty consideration, and what is called convenience is too often made the arbiter of general rule. In all states of society that are dominated by convenience, equitable considerations are associated with dreams of the night rather than with the words and deeds of the day. Because of this, much truth lies hidden between the layers of convenience with which our modern civilization is enamored and many burdens of iniquity are uselessly continued. The All American League must come through the path of experience, and must be associated with that justice and truth which goeth before the throne. M. H. PASSING THROUGH THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY Editor Visits Clientage at Bakersfield, Visalia, Fresno, Stockton and Sacramento We left Los Angeles Friday morning at 6:40 over the Southern Pacific R. R. and made a whirlwind trip to the bailiwick of many of our readers, while this trip is in no sense our annual pilgrimage in which we stop and have a general round up and speak in public places, it was one in which we simply touched the high places. Traveling thus we arrived at Bakersfield Friday about 1:55 p.m. ```markdown ``` have for many years been faithful employees of the Southern Pacific R. R. Both are forward looking men. Mr. Maxwell is the president of the Colored Citizens' League, which organization takes up all matters affecting the race in this particular section. Proceeding on we met the genial, energetic and prosperous torsional king of Bakersfield in the person of Henry H. Houston, who conducts one of the most modern barber shops on the coast. He has only recently made many improvements which have added greatly to his already excellent place But Mr. Houston is not content to stand still. He believes in progress and for this reason his business is in the front rank of all other businesses of this kind in Bakersfield. He employs four workmen, all of whom are highly capable, courteous and affable, which makes Houston's place the mecca of popularity. H. E. Simpson and G. W. Winters are still at the old stand conducting the leading second hand store of the city. They explained that the only drawback at this time is that they have been unable to buy goods fast enough for their trade or in other words there was a dearth of second hand goods on the market. After making the rounds of many of our patrons we visited the A. M. E. Church, where the chorus under the direction of H. E. Shapiro was rehearsing for a grand concept in April. We found a strong aggregation of singers who no doubt will make the welkin ring. Such talent, as Mrs. Pearl Lowery Winters, noted sobist; Miss Antoinette Young, also noted soprano, assisted by a galaxy of others who know how to sing, cannot help but be a grand success. Mrs. S. E. Dyson, the dashing widow, says she is feeling fine and very proud of the fact that she is once and near twice a grandma now. Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Washington are back on the job as the leading pressing cleaners of the city and are doing a splendid business. While here we stopped at the beautiful and palatial home of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Winters, who both made it as pleasant for us as it was possible to do. Miss Antoinette Young of Los Angeles is making her home here for the present and attending school, taking a special course. On Sunday a.m. we journeyed to Visalia, the county seat of Tulare county, where we spent a few hours with our very good friend, Tony Love, where he and his good wife prepared for us one of those dinners which must be partaken of to be appreciated. All home products if you please, the fruits and all direct from their own ranch. These are very splendid people and are up here in this section doing the things that will eventually solve the problem of emancipation from hewers of wood and drawers of water. From here to Fresno was a short ride. We met here W. I. Pilkington, one of the prosperous ranchers of Fresno county and Mrs. Pilkington, who are great admirers and boosters for the Eagle. We spent quite an enjoyable hour in their company at the home of the Rev. Davies, the new pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church of Fresno. Rev. Davies was transferred here from the Kansas Conference, and is entering upon his work with commendable zeal and vigor. His accomplished wife will be a tower of strength to him in his efforts. We visited the Second Baptist church of which our good friend, Rev. T. M. Davis, formerly of Oakland, is the pastor. We arrived here late and found them in the midst of a covenant and communion, but Rev. Davis made time for the editor to say a word to his congregation which we appreciated very much. At the conclusion of the service while waiting for our train Mrs. Davis insisted upon our going to their home for lunch, just think, lunch at 11 p.m., but she would not take no for an answer. We went. You can surmise the rest. The people of Fresno are fortunate indeed in procuring the services of Rev. and Mrs. Davis at this point. Both splendid and well qualified, now with the support of the people this church will thrive like the proverbial green bay tree. AT STOCKTON Leaving Fresno we arrived on Monday morning at Stockton. We met here many of our readers, and among them the new mayor, A. C. Oullahan, who is indeed a worthy successor to the lamented Mayor Rubenstein. From our interview with him we truly believe him to be a man who stands for all the people all the time. We met among others Mrs. J. Hamilton, who is ambitious and aspiring for the advancement of the race.' Mrs. Hamilton is both a student and teacher of art, and highly cultured and abreast with the times. We also met Miss King, who is a prominent fraternal worker. She is well known in the circles of the Household of Ruth and is always present at the annual grand sessions of that body. Wm. Boykin is still the premiere custodian of the city and holds down the same with grace and dignity. Time would not permit of our completing our Stockton visit. Promising them a return visit in the near future we departed for Sacramento, of which in our next issue you may read CAL. MEDICAL LAW HELD VALID BY U. S. COURT Legislature Acting Within Its Police Duties Is Ruling The state medical law, which exempts Christian Science practitioners from the regulations of the law and which was attacked on the ground that it is "discriminatory" in that the practitioners were exempted, was upheld as valid today in a decision handed down by the United States supreme court in Washington. The law regulates the conduct of physicians and other healers, but makes exemptions from its provisions of "prayer practitioners." From the Express, Jan. 8th. By International News Service Leavenworth, Kan., Jan. 11.— Sam Lightfoot and William Nichols, the two Negroes arrested on the charge of murdering Claude McCart, a Fort Leavenworth provost guard soldier, have been placed in keeping and to prevent mobbing. The comrades of McCart are deeply incensed over his murder and it was reported that they were organizing to take Lightfoot and Nichols from the weak county jail and hang them. On Thursday, Jan. 11, the dailies of the country have it that at Murray, Ky., a Negro named Luke Martin had been accused of the murder of the Guthrie Dinl-guild (white). Judge Charles Bush insisted that Martin be given a fair trial and placed him out of the reach of the infuriated mob. to whom he had appealed for assistance. NEGRESS SEEKS TO BE NEIGHBOR OF JOHN D. Indianapolis, Jan. 11.—Property close to that of John D. Rockefeller has been purchased by "Mme." C. J. Walker, an Indianapolis Negro woman who has acquired much wealth through the sale of a preparation advertised to take the kink out of Negro hair, She will build a home there. From Thursday Evening's Her- A ISHAM LEWIS, PIONEER CITIZEN, PASSES OUT Tuesday afternoon when it was time to go on duty at the comfort station, 9th and Main streets, where he was employed by the city and had been for nearly six years, Mr. Isham Lewis, one of Los Angeles' oldest and most respected citizens was found dead in his bed by his daughters, Mrs. Earley and Mrs. Fiafer. Two months ago Mrs. Hester Wood, the mother-in-law of Mr. Lewis, died in this city and it has been but six weeks since Mr. Lewis laid to rest his loving wife and companion with whom he lived forty-five years. Mr. Lewis was not only a faithful citizen, but likewise a good churchman, being one of the foundation members of the church of his choice in this city, the Lincoln Memorial church, at which place, because of his activity as a worker, he will be greatly missed. He was also a 33 degree Mason and will be accorded all the honors of the grand old order Friday at a midnight service at the First A. M. E. church, while the funeral services will be held at the First Congregational church, 9th and Hope streets, Saturday at 2 o'clock. Rev. E. E. Lightner, pastor of Lincoln Memorial church, will officiate. Mr. Lewis leaves five children and several grand children to mourn his loss. IN MEMORIAM Mrs. Lillie Manuel Farewell, Dear Sister, We, too, must go Where sorrows end and Death is no more. We know that thou hast Been good and kind, We'll always keep thee In our mind. We know that thou hast gone above To join with those whom we have loved. Sleep on, Dear Sister, And rest in peace, In heaven there is no pain. It almost breaks our hearts To give you up, But our loss is heaven's gain. STELLA BARTHOLOMEW,
