The Passing of John Norman King ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 1594 VOLUME 30 LAST SAD RITES PAID TO PROMINENT YOUNG MAN OF THIS SECTION, JOHN NORMAN KING, AT WESLEY CHAPEL, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. The last sad rites, the funeral of John Norman King was held at Wesley Chapel, corner 3th and San Julian street, on last Wednesday afternoon and a multitude of friends and acquaintances gathered at that time to pay their last respects to this aplendid young man who by his uttering worth and high character had become one of the integral parts of the progress of the race in this section of this country. It was indeed a pathetic occasion when gathered around his伯 these relatives, friends and acquaintances, they could hardly realize that the great service of this young man was not at their command, but recognizing that God knows best and that it was His will all bowed in humble acquiescence to the same, and consoled themselves that he died strong in the faith and left behind him a testimony which leaves no doubt and will guide others safely to a harbor of peace before it JACKSON is too late. Rev. A. P. Shaw, pastor of Wesley Chapel, officiated and spoke beautiwelly of the high character of Mr. King and his work for the church and humanity. Rev. Dr. Former of the Seventh Day Adventist church assisted Dr. Shaw and he also spoke most beautifully of the deceased and his high Christian character. Obituary John Norman King was born at Evansville, Indiana, December 12, 1891. His mother, a devoted Christian, was not spared to him many years, but before passing, her earnest prayers had left their impression upon his heart. In his early teens he gave his heart to the Lord and joined the church. A fsw months later, November, 1907, he came to California to live with his sister, Mrs. Carrie Patton. In 1908 he joined a Bible class and became deeply interested in studying the word of God, and allowing it to mold his life. To prepare for service, he decided to go to Loma Linda for medical evangelistic training. He completed a course covering three years and graduated. Being very ambitious for knowledge and a large field of service, he spent another year at the Pacific Union College, commencing a preparatory ministerial course. August 13, 1915, he was united in marriage with Geraldine Overton. These new responsibilities brought into full play the many qualities. He labored diligently to provide for his family. While his hands were employed with the daily toll, his mind was busy seeking to devise some way by which he could carry out his cherished plan of giving himself wholly to the work of the gospel minister. During the past year three definite calls to work as an evangelist came to him from the Southland, and he was planning to have all his affairs in shape to answer these calls this coming fall. Here in Los Angeles his sweet voice has often been heard singing the songs of devotion, consecration, and entreaty. When sudden illness overtook him and he learned the seriousness of his condition, he felt that he was not ready because of duties not yet done, and work still unfinished. Later, when told of his near approach to death, in prayer he plead for just one more chance. A few hours later, in earnest prayer with loved ones at his side, he said, "Lord, I have sinned, I have transgressed, I'm sorry; forgive me. Then he waited for the answer. Presently he announced as all waited in quietness, "The Lord has forgiven all my sins, but he will spare my life no longer. I must die." The closing hours of physical agony were wonderfully tempered with moments of relief through prayer. In perfect peace of mind he waited for death. He recognized its presence when it took hold of him. Without a struggle he yielded to its claims Sunday morning at 8:40, May 6, 1917, aged 25 years, 4 months, 24 days. He leaves a wife and babe, a father living in Chicago, and sister, and a host of friends who will miss his presence, and the music of his voice. He rested his case in him who is the resurrection and the life. He believed that the day of His appearing was near. His hope was that when Christ does appear he also will appear with him in glory. Resolutions Resolutions were read from Wesley Chapel, where Mr. King was the chorister so long, also from his fellow employees of the Broadway Department Store, which were as follows: WHEREAS, God, the maker of us all, has seen fit in His infinite judgment, to call from our midst, our friend and co-worker, Mr. John King, whose sterling Christian qualities, his ever readiness to do a favor, his kind words and smiling face, have made a lasting impression upon us all, and he will ever be held in our memory, be it RESOLVED, That we extend to his dear wife and relatives our deepest sympathy, relying on the bright hope that we will meet him again to part no more. Therefore we say to you with the poet, "So live that when the summons come, you may be able to wrap the drapery of your couch about you and lie down to pleasant sleep." Respectfully submitted, The Porters and Operators of the The Porters and Operators of the Broadway Department Store. The floral offerings were many and beautiwul and he was laid to rest at Rosedale Cemetery. DR. H. D. PROWD, PASTOR OF SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH TO STAND SOLID AGAINST JITNEY SERVICE In view of the fact that the jitney bus driver discriminates against our people in this city, and in many cases have heaped insult upon insult upon us when we have been mistakenly picked up, only to be dumped when our nationality has been discovered, we are asking the pastors of our several churches with their congregations to sign the petitions being circulated, and if necessary, as loyal Americans vote against such Jim Crow practice June 5. Signed, H. D. PROWD, President of the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance. San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland New Fraternal Order Promises Great Future. GOLDEN WEST LODGE NO. 86, ORGANIZE DAUGHTERS OF THE ELKS Friday evening, May 4th, will go on record as one of the most eventful dates in the history of Golden West Lodge. In their brightest and prettiest regalia the exalted and regular members of Golden West Lodge met at Masonic Hall where they were joined by fifty-three ladies beaming in spotless white, who by their very expression declared their intention of becoming loyal Elks. After preliminary preparation, to the time of a lively march played by Miss M. Busby, the ladies were escorted to the assembly room by the Elks, where a program consisting of a piano selection played by Miss M. Busby and an address on the tenets of the order was given by the Hon. E. Burton Ceruti to the newly formed lady Elks under the title of Hiawatha Lodge No. 91, after which the newly made officers were installed into their several offices by Mr. Hicks, who demonstrated upon this occasion that he was thoroughly acquainted with the job. The officers were as follows: Mrs. Victoria Fingers, Daughter Ruler. Mrs. A. Suttonton, Vice Daughter Ruler. Mrs. Eliza Warner, Financial Secretary. Mrs. M. Ross, Treasurer. Mrs. M. Sims, Escort. Mrs. Allen, Chaplain. Mrs. T. White, Assistant Vice Ruler. Trustees, Mesdames Atkinson, Lester and Murray. Doorkeepers, Mesdames Barnes, J. J. Grant and Miss M. Busby, organist. After the installation members of the order and friends were ushered into the dining hall which had been most artistically decorated by Mr. Ross, who takes pride in whatever he does, but it seems that upon this occasion his artistic taste was thoroughly awakened, and his decoration transformed the rather plain compartment into a thing of beauty. Golden West Lodge is to be congratulated upon the excellent work accomplished in this one stroke, and Hiawatha Lodge, under the efficient leadership of Mrs. V. Fingers and the galaxy of officers associated with her promises to be one of the best in the city. MEN'S CO - OPERATIVE CLUB OF THE 1st A. M. E. CHURCH The Men's Co-operative Club of the First A. M. E. church has reached the high water mark of progress when in the less than 1 year's time they have purchased, put down and paid every dollar for the beautiful velour carpet which adorns the floor of the Metropolitan 1st A. M. E. church located at 8th and Towne avenue. The amount paid was $421.89. We submit this as a record to be proud of. A few of the male members saw the need of a carpet for the church and they banded themselves together in the above organization. Shortly thereafter the editor of the Eagle was asked to address the club and he adopted the slogan, "Be Something, Have Something, Do Something." On this theme they have accomplished much. They are not going to stop, but they are going on and with the above slogan to do even greater things. They have demonstrated what can be accomplished by co-operation. The club is entitled to great credit and we shall faithfully watch it in its onward flight. Its officers are E. Bartlett, president; E. Trailer, vice president; J. T. Burges, financial secretary; J. B. Norris, recording secretary, backed by a sturdy and determined set of men who set a high mark and were satisfied with nothing short of the same. SHE IS A SUCCESS For a goodly number of years Mrs. Van C. Williams has been engaged in the hair business of Los Angeles. So successful has she been that she has neither found it expedient nor has she found time to announce to her customers that she highly appreciates their patronage and that she is constantly increasing her business facilities. Mrs. Williams' Excelsior Hair Crower is making inroads on the market as an absolute success as a hair producer. Mrs. J. Logan Craw and several ladies, who are using Excelsior pronounce it the very best preparation that they have ever used. Excelsior may be reached at 1747 New Hampshire street, or by ringing West 2947. "I am grieved to note that some of our leading professional people are so bitter against encouraging Race enterprises that they refuse to even allow the Colored shoe makers to mend their shoes. "I am conveniently located at 1406 Central avenue. I am a graduate of Tuskegee, the perfected dream of our idealized departed Booker T. Washington; and above all I am prepared to do the same work on shoes that can be done anywhere. Now all I ask is that you give me a chance to make good." Yours for more business, H. COLEMAN, 1406 Central Avenue. ALBERT B. CONRAD CAN DIDATE FOR CITY COUNCIL Receiving more than 11,000 votes at the recent primary race for the City Council on the strength of the popularity of his name and the long and creditable service he has rendered the city, Albert E. Conrad, the retiring city tax and license collector, has a right to expect he will be elected at the coming city election. Mr. Conrad's election to the council will bring to the legislative branch of the city government a man who is thoroughly in sympathy with the small taxpayer and one who has a complete fund of knowledge of the various city departments and the governmental machinery. He is fully equipped with experience in tax collecting and assessing and he has always given the little fellow a square deal. Conrad is a long time Republican, having served for years on the county committee and as secretary under some of the old stalwarts. He is a mining man and has won a respect for hard labor by experiencing it. He is a native son, a mineralogist, and a man of deep human sympathies. With Conrad in the council, anyone can feel at ease in carrying to him the problems that arise IT AFTER ALL MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE WHOSE OX IS GORED The Eagle does not for one moment stand sponsor for such institutions as the Country Club at Watts, which has just been closed by the authorities. As a matter of fact we do not believe that such propositions have a leg to stand on from a moral standpoint, and representing as we do, the highest ideals of citizenship, we would be very much out of our place espousing the cause of such places as heretofore referred to. But we cannot help but notice the different manner in which vice is handled by the authorities and we have come to the conclusion that after all it makes a great difference whose ox is gored. Now we all know that the great big Examiner with its paid artists sent out, is won't to illuminate wherein the colored brother is concerned and as that report great allowance must be made. So the Eagle, detesting all vice as we do, we cannot see; wherein the line of demarcation rests if viewed from an unprejudiced standpoint, as a matter of fact we think vice is, if anything, more to be condemned with the white race, because the blacks have not had the opportunity in the race of life that the Caucasian has had. The nightly revels which have taken place in various resorts near by this city, the murders which have been traced directly to these places, the accidental deaths from joy riders, with their drunken orgies returning from these road houses, have been such as to have long ago sent the Examiner's special writer out for the purpose of exploiting the same to the public. We do not believe in this difference. There should be no difference in the treatment of vice no matter whether he happens to be fair as a lily or as dark as the coal. Wilkins' Pupils in Recital The Wilkins Music school will present a greater program, with more novelties than has ever been presented on a music program before in our city. Mr. Wilkins has gone to great expense to make it possible for you to witness this unusual affair. Mr. Wilkins is receiving phone calls and letters every day from our best colored and white citizens, not only wishing him success, but assuring him of their presence at the recital. All the colored ladies' clubs, the Ministerial Alliance, the heads of the Los Angeles and Poly High School, Mr. Arthur Letts of the Broadway Department Store, Mr. Bullock, Prof. Carl Bronson, Prof. Von Stein and others too numerous to mention. Among the ushers, all in full dress, will be Miss Lorenza Jordan, Miss Lilias Hart, Miss Maudetta Rosemond, Mrs. Gertrude Kelly, Mrs. Murdock, Prof. H. D. Greer, John A. Gray, Malcolm Patton and Mr. Elmer Battlett. The flowers will be taken care of by the Misses Tony McKinney, Cornelia Leggett, Carnie Clifton and Mrs. Juanita Patton. The spacious Lyceum (T. M. A. Hall) has been retainted and renovated for this occasion. The special lighting, stage effects, decorations and designs are being prepared by Mr. Edward Hubbs. The Southern California Music Company is lending the biggest Chickering concert grand on the coast. The Birkel Music Co. will place their big Steinway grand on the stage for Mr. Wilkins also. Now you can readily see from the few things we have mentioned about the program, if you fail to see it you will miss a treat of a life time. Although there are nearly 1000 seats, don't come at 9 o'clock and expect to see the beginning of the program. General admission 25e-35e. Reserved 15, at 8:15. 231 So. Spring St. near Second and Spring streets. Mrs. Dora Gamble entertained last Tuesday evening at an entertainment for the benefit of Sojourner Truth Club. About fifty guests were present. The evening was spent in music and games and a goodly sum was raised for Sojourner Truth. GOV. ESTEBAN CANTU OF LOWER CALIFORNIA A MAN OF THE HOUR Huge industrial developments of international importance are at present developing and we are pleased to note that Gov. Cantu is in his big and broad manner has well in hand the situation of construction of highways and of enlarging the piers at Ensenada. Also that he has seen fit to give to one of our own colored Citizens of this country the contract for this work. Mr. J. N. Littlejohn is the contractor for the highway from Ensenada to Calexico and is now at the Capital getting ready to begin active work. Mr. Ochoa who has the main contract for the work is also represented here by Attorney Hugh E. MacBeth. Quite a few of our people have already gone to the country and are doing well, we are reliably informed that special efforts are to be made for a select number to get in on the ground floor in the development of this rich country. We are glad to see hands across the border and we hope for much good to our people as a result thereof. AN OBJECT LESSON ON BUSINESS EFFICIENCY On the 14th of this month Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Scales abandon their business at 243 E. Second St. Scales Biscuit Lunch, and leave for Tucson, Ariz. to engage there in the restaurant business anew. Their departure will create an honest void to a very large trade who for exceptionally small expense received an unusually well cooked meal for a rediculous small expense. In the order of rare efficiency of service these people held first rank in Los Angeles, and the best evidence of their appreciation by the general public is the fact that though only in business here for eighteen month, their income from the business for that time was over Forty Thousand Dollars, and their net profit was $4250. This great success should stand forth glowingly in "team-work" as this success was owing largely to the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Scales worked together assisted by an excellent co-operative help. Mr. Scales acting as the sole cook and his intelligent and devoted wife being one among the number who waited on the large patronage. The Scales gave work to from six to nine members of the race, fed a mixed patronage and have them the best cooked food in the city at the most reasonable price. The question was constantly asked how could they do this for from 10 to 15 cents charge. They leave our city because of great inducements to go in business elsewhere and their departure causes real genuine sentiment of regret because also of their uniform courtesy and sense of fairplay. We bespeak for Mr. and Mrs. Scales warm appreciation wherever they go. I AM A CANDIDATE FOR THE CITY COUNCIL MY PLATFORM I will use my best efforts to reduce the expense and increase the efficiency of the City Government in all its branches, and will show no favors in the conducting of the City's business along the lines of economy, efficiency and sound business principles. I will endeavor to represent the citizens of the entire City and will attentively listen to suggestions and feedback from all and will What the Churches are- Doing Page TWO FIRST. A. M. E.

FIRST A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Pico and Paloma Streets Rev. B.C. Robeson, Pastor What shall a man’ profit if he should gain the whole world and lose his own soul? was the subject of a masterly discourse by the pastor, Sunday at Il am. He showed plain- ly that there is something of greater moment than the mere getting of food and raiment, and that after all, con- fentment counts more than’ wealth. ‘That the way of contentment lies in salvation and righteous living.

Little and a few othe? friends, were entertained at a luncheon by Mrs. Moxley. Mrs.’ Moxley enjoys the dis- tinction of being one of the miost charming hostesses on the East Side, and upon this occasion she spared no pains in making this as beautiful as were her other social affairs of this season. The house was charmingly dec- crated in Cecil Brunner roses, and the good things served are be- yond the description of any pen. Avery pretty wedding was ‘celebrated April 25th at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Page, 443 East 46 St. when their sister, Miss Bessie Gardner became the bride of Mr. Leon Fortier. The Rev J. C.

Patton sang, “The Sunshine of your smile.” The living room where the ceremony was perform- ed, was beautifully decorated, with pink and white carnations _ and pink roses. The bridal couple stood bengath an arch of pink and white carnations and. fern. In the dinning room the same color scheme was carried out. The brides maids “were beau- tifully gowned, Miss Lewis in pink silg taffeta anl ace, and Miss Kennard in blue silk taffeta and net, both carried a shower of Cecil Brunner roses. The bride was attired in a beautiful gown of white satin charmeuse trimmed in real lace, and carried a shower bridal roses. and maiden hair fern, her tulle veil was held in place by a wreath of orange blossoms.

Mr and Mrs. Fortier are at home e their friends, at 2814 Boulder = There was a great Birthday party given for J. L. Davis las Wednesday night. Was I there? Most assured]; and those who wer'n't missec and evening of perfect delight. The Bratton family furnished sweet music which was pleasing to the listening ear, And Mr Bratton talked on war so strongly until we all were ready to volun- ter. There were ices and punches and all kinds of sweet cakes; it seemed that-with Uncle Sam they had got a pull. The guest iced and they punched and they ate sweet cakes, until they thought their stomachs were full. All the rest .of us had to swallow the pill. The Astral colors were red and yellow and to be sure they suited this fellow, because when he came to this earth in May His Astral colors had their sway. His goysraing Planet is the star of Venus which you know puts lots of love in us. And his gem is the emerald ‘een which his wife, Mrs. M. B. Bivig bought for him.

THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS passing of former Senator J. B. Foraker. He help but revere his memory as he truth warrior who stood up on all occasions in the rights of a struggling race. He was one of the Simon pure Republican party. He battled for the strain incident there. In the passing of former Senator J. B. Foraker of Ohio, the race cannot help but revere his memory as he truly represents a valiant warrior who stood up on all occasions as a mighty force for the rights of a struggling race. He was one of the war horse of the Simon pure Republican party. He made his last great battle and from the strain incident thereto he never recovered. He was the hero in the famous Brownsville case which attracted world wide attention, and with his passing as the chief of the famous Mohicans he is truly the last great warrior for a struggling race who has answered the last summons. At one of his big meetings a few evenings ago "Billy" Sunday, the evangelist, is quoted by the New York World as saying: "Make us forget, Jesus, that we're black and white, rich and poor, Catholic, Protestant and Jew, or whether we were born here or elsewhere. Make us remember that we're all Americans, pledged to go and fight to the last ditch for our flag." The World says that the Rev. Mr. Sunday's utterances brought forth a thunderous burst of applause, and a prayer was interrupted for half a minute. There can be no objection to "Billy" Sunday's work to save souls when he expresses himself so soundly on Christianity and true Americanism—New York Age. The Daily Record with its usual vindictiveness hit a cold trail in trying to foster discord and hatred over the alleged remarks of Mayor Woodman at the Union League banquet on last Saturday night. It is hard to conceive of a daily, weekly, or any other sort of reputable journal that would stoop to the tactics of the Record in these premises. As a matter of fact nobody with common every day horse sense would for one moment take any especial exceptions to the remarks of the mayor, even in the garbled and distorted shape as presented by the reports of the Record. But everybody knows that the mayor did not mean for one moment that all the people on the east side of Main street and along Central avenue were unmoral, and so far as we have found out no one has taken exception to his remarks except the Record and others who opposed Mr. Woodman's election to the utmost. We live on the East Side, our business is located on Central avenue. We have no complaint to make, because we know that this side is liberally inclined, we know that put it to a vote, if the result was left to the East Side, that this city would be wide open all the time, the proud boast on the East Side was, we are for Snyder because he is for the open town, and few indeed, were the votes of the white people that went to Woodman east of Main street. It really was the colored vote which kept the East Side from going unanimously for Snyder, and in stating this we know whereof we speak. Nobody doubts for a moment that some of our very best people supported Snyder (not many, but some) and nobody doubts for a moment that some of our most vicious supported Woodman (not tmany but some). Of course a man's well meaning words can easily be distorted and garbled and there are always those who can be counted on to put on the dastardly work. SUNG THE SORROW SONGS TOO LONG ALREADY We beg to differ with the contributing editor of the New York Age in his editorial issue of May 8, "Cut Out the Comedy." We have oftime been impressed with the fact that we have 54 years in the mighty march of progress and because we have had the faculty of retaining a stiff upper lip and a smile even though the tide of battle was against us, and while we agree with the writer that this is a serious age, we cannot for one moment advocate that the funeral dirge and mourning cry will avail us anything at all. It is well that the Negro by nature can approach and take part in the most serious proposition with a smile and even when he fails will smile and go after it again. A color sergeant in the civil war after the battle, wounded, both arms shattered and legs broken, hugged the colors to his breast and laughed and said to the commanding officer, "The old flag never touched the ground." For nigh unto 300 years we have sung the sorrow songs and now we verily believe that the race will perform every function that goes to promote the best citizenship if only given a chance, and with that we shall sing the songs of rejoicing and triumph, and just keep up that smile and with an increasing courage face the gravest problems and with a smile your work will be tenfold less irksome and obstacles easier to overcome. The fact that we can jest and smile accounts for a minimum number of suicides and that a failure in business only stimulates us to try again. Only recently in this state a sheriff was conducting a party of prisoners from Phoenix, to McNeil's Island. The white prisoners were morose; gloom and desolation prevailed to the utmost. On the opposite side the Negro prisoners laughed, chatted, smiled, even under the environment, and it was commented on by the passengers if they had to take their choice of criminals for association on the occasion they would most certainly be with the Negroes, so we believe it is well to cut the comedy, but be our case ever so hopeless or serious, do not forget how to smile.

C crowded house greeted the numbers on the program. Every member selected, though unknowingly was a "star" performer and without exceptions received encores. Those who participated were Miss Berta Miller, Dramatic soprano Mrs. Hattie Norwood Lyric Mezzo soprano, Miss Juanita and Master Malcolm Patton Pianist and Violinist, respectively Miss Lelia Hart of Pasadena Dialect reader William Nanus Ricks, Poet. The speakers were Prof. T. A. Greene, Rev. Dr. Proud and Walter L. Gordon Master of Ceremony. At the conclusion of the program then the call was made, the object of the meeting emphasized. The time for euloges and boquets had passed now it was the occasion for something more tangible, something definite. At this juncture, it was sug, gested the soldier boy, lead off in the rasing of the sum set by the committee. The cry rang out "Crumbly! Crumbly!" Copt F. H. Crumbly ever ready to do his 3.

Somebody started and the committee's dream was realized, the $50 lay on the table. To be accurate the total was $5.45. Someone in the audience arose and asked the question "Was Dr. Nailor dead?" The mater of ceremony stated that at the commencement of the program Dr. Nailor doing nicely and he recovery was ultimately expected. Acting Pres. Oliver assured him in the negative, his retort was, "Well I have never before in my life seen Colored people do anything like this—not until the person was dead anyway." The change in Russia is more of an evolution than a revolution. This event is more evolutionary than revolutionary, a growth morally and socially of which Los Angeles should feel proud. Mr. Theo, W. Trey was the originator of the idea and Walter L. Gordon his assistant was assigned the work of selecting talent and the publicity. Dr. Proud in his talk, said, "Long live Prof. T. A. Greene for the work he is doing at the Y. M. C. A." At the close the crowd filled out with these words on their line "Long live the Forum." Over-work, worry and the constant strain of a business life are often a cause of much trouble. Dr. Miles' Nervine is highly recommended for all Nervous disorders.

CALEXICO NOTES Since our last appearance in print we have succeeded in getting a permanent place of worship, Rev. E C. Dyer, pastor of El Bethel Christian Church and congregation have bought and paid for a lot and moved a church building 36x44 on this lot. Not one penny is owed on this property. The Christian Missionary Society bought the lot for the use of the colored Christians at this place. We bought the Congregational church building for $400. We raised $330 here in Calexico. The people responded like they were glad to give. The white people gave liberally. Mr. James Akers canvassed the business men and whenever he approached anyone he always left with either $5, $10 or $25. The mayor of the city headed the list with $50 and many persons gave $25. Our own people gave largely. The Missionary Society paid the remaining $70 and also $100 to have the building moved on the lot. As the crowning event in our church struggle, last Sunday was dedication day. Rev. Wm. Z. Hopper of Birch St. Christian Church came down and spent a few days with Rev. Dyer. Rev. Hopper preached two strong sermons morning and evening. The dedicatory service was held at 3:30 p.m. Long before that hour people began arriving by stage from El Centro and Holtsville. The Flagg Davis, was printed and hanged in the church. This was work of art and we are proud that we have people qualified to do it. The house was beautifully decorated with evergreens oleanders, roses and sweet peas which were given us by white ladies of Calexico. The house was filled, about a third of the congregation being white. The two white ministers of the city took part in the program which follows: Prayer—Rev. T. C. Cook Song—"Swing Low Sweet Chariot" Choir. Church History—Mra. A. R. Lewis Song—Naomi J. Wallace and Le- Roy Hawkins Speaker—Rev. F. M. Rogera. Song—"Steal Away to Jesus" Chair Remarks—Rev. Umstead! Song—"Reign, Master Jesus." ```markdown ``` Remarks—Rev. Ore. Song. The singing was good. Mrs. William Ford is directress and may it be said to her credit no stone was left unturned to make this part of the service a success. Rev. Rogers made a very instructive and interesting talk. Rev. Unstead having sold the church building to us made a brief talk en the dedication and deseration of churches. He also said of Rev. Dyers that he was a man he admired every since his coming to this town and often wondered if Rev. Dyer's people appreciated the prince that had, but after listening to the church history he was glad to know that we did. Rev. Rogers promised to give Rev. Dyer some Mission money on salary. The collection for the day was $77.61. If we had more leaders like Rev. Dyer we would not have so much trouble over segregation and discrimination. BOWLES NEWS Prof, Toney of Valejo, lectured at Price Chapel, Sunday afternoon. Miss Mae McClendon has returned from a two weeks' stay in Fresno.

Dixon as pastor has been unsettled for years as everyone knows. When the present pastor took charge Oct. 15, 1915, the indebtedness was $2,000 when all bills against the church were paid. The mortgage of $1,-500 was due. The pastor organized his small army in clubs with the following captains: Club No. 1, the Bualah, Mrs. Eliza Washington, captain, $172.70 Club No. 2, Mrs. A. J. Smith captain, $107.00; Club No. 3, C. A. Williams captain, $52.00; Club No. 4, Mrs. J. Goodman captain, $112.10; Club No. 5 Miss L. Walker captain, $147.00; Solicitation, Prof. C. A.

This is the largest rally in the history of the church and city. When Rev. Dixon came to Bakerfield the people said he was committing spiritual suicide to take on another heavy burden after freeing Shiloh Baptist Church of Sacramento of debt. Rev. Dixon has proven his worth as a pastor and leader and we thank the public for its aid. This leaves us owing only $700.00. MONROVIA, CAL Mrs. A.

The Day upon which deepest emotions shall be awakened; when every fibre of the soul shall be touched, and the urn of fond memories shall be filled. Once again shall we listen to a fond lullaby which helped to mould a character. Once again shall we view her ministering with hands of love, and think of that purifying and restraining influence which has so greatly impressed our lives. On this sacred day when we bow in deep reverence before the shrine of Motherhood, an appeal is heard from the Sojourner Truth home saying "Help Save the Girls." If you would honor the name of Mother, if you would revere her sainted memory, if you would sweeten her existence, then place a bulwark of protection around her girl. This constitutus one of the grandest opportunities for service yet affored us. In a great cosmopolitan City like this the girl problem is a serious one. The evils against which they fight are many and strong. We demand that they swerve not a single inch as we flaunt the banner of a double standard of morality. We point them to an untimely grave if they stumble and fall against the crcub of iniquity. In the name of love, justice, duty and righteousness, for the sake of humanity and her countless millions yet unborn. For the sake and honor of Mother the friend of friend's For the sake of Him in whom we live and move and have our being let us lay upon the altar of service a sacrificial offering for this worthy cause. "We shall be so kind in the after-a-while. But what have we been to-day? We shall bring to each lonely life a smile. But what have we brought to-day? We shall give to truth a grander birth, And to steadfast faith a deeper worth, We shall feed the hungering soul of earth, But whom have we feed to-day? Rev. B. C. Robeson, Pastor A. M. E. Zion Church. 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 sane, clean, economically managed company on a most profitable cooperative profit-sharing basis with all the stock risks illiminated. JUST THINK, $75 in cash or in 15 monthly payments will secure deed to sight 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 an investor a chance to secure a LARGE MONTHLY INCOME from the oil as 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 been 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 OFFERED 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. Seize it now. Write or call in person from 4:30 p. m. to 8 p. m. C. E. Patterson, 1446 So. San Pedro St., Los Angeles Cal., at once for our large prospectus, giving all the details with map showing location of our field, also let us know how many shares we shall reserve for you.
