If you are a real American it is not a question of giving from your surplus—you must gove and keep on giving until you can give no more, and even after that, you must keep on. We are at war, but we do not realize what war is, and, if the ed Cross is able to do its full duty, we will never know what war can be. Do you know what the Red Cross does? Some day, "Somewhere in France," when our soldiers are in the trenches, a line of American boys will leap over the top of their trenches, slip through the barbed wire, and, in, in face of high explosive shells, gas, liquid fire, shrapnel, grenades, machine gun and rifle fire, face the barbed wire in front of enemy trenches for the bare chance of meeting bayonet with bayonet, other boys no more to blame for this war than they are. You know what the loss will be. You know that after Ypres the Princess Pats had only 127 men alive out of the 689 that saw the sun come up that day. What of the fallen? If the Red Cross is ready, the Ambulance Corps of the fighting regiments will carry the wounded back through the communicating trenches to the dressing station. Here Red Cross surgeons, under the direct control of the United States Medical Department will give first aid. The wounded will be turned over to Red Cross ambulances, and carried back to the Red Cross field hospital for immediate attention. From the Red Cross field hospital, Red Cross ambulances, Red Cross trains and, in France, even Red Cross canal boats will carry the men back to the Red Cross base hospitals. If the wound is not fatal a Red Cross convalescing station will take care of the soldier till he is ready to go back to the front. If the man is disabled a Red Cross steamer will bring him back to America, and the Red Cross receiving station here will care for him, send him home and on top of that look after his family after he is wounded just as it will have looked after his family all the time he has been away. Do you know what this means? In the old days before the Red Cross came, 600 soldiers died out of every 1000 wounded. Today under proper conditions the percentage is not over 5 per cent. If your boy was wounded every dollar you have in the world would go willingly to put him in Red Cross hands. Sixty thousand Los Angeles boys registered June 5th for the draft. How many of them will require Red Cross aid within the next two years? The Red Cross is not a hit or miss organization, grabbing a dollar here and a dollar there and wasting the money. It is one of the five offensive and defensive arms of every civilized government on the face of the earth. Every dollar that comes in is spent by the best business men in America for supplies and materials designated by the Medical Department of the United States Army—the Department that has stamped out yellow fever as well as other great national scourges. Ex-President Taft is the chairman of the Red Cross. A partner in the house of Morgan is its financial chief. Its accounts are audited by the War Department. Its existence and operations, are directed under special Acts of Congress, and President Wilson himself, by executive order, established the Executive Committee under which the Red Cross is now being managed. The Red Cross is therefore a part of the fighting forces of the Government and must be supported as such. This support will be easy enough to get—when that support is too late. Let the toll of one battle mount—as it often does—to 25,000 men or more! With the hospitals overcrowded and our own men dying for want of attention, the response to the Red Cross call will roll in fast enough—but then it will be too late. Don't you be one of those to hold back until that time. Don't be a slacker. You inevitably will contribute. Why not now? THE FAR FAMED FIGHTING PARSON California's Renowned Black Evangelist Rev. Dr. J. Gordon McPherson Sway Thousands in Colorado-Leads Hundreds to Christ (Staff Correspondence) God moves in mysterious ways his wonders to perform. Sometimes ago it was announced in these columns that the "Fighting Parson," Rev. Dr. J. Gordon McPherson, California's unmatched, old fashioned Holy Ghost and Fire Revivalist, would tour the country leading Great Evangelistic Campaigns. After a triumphant tour through Arizona and New Mexico, Dr. McPherson pitched his first great battle against sin at the Bethlehem Baptist Church, Pueblo, Colorado, where for three weeks he stormed the stronghold of wickedness, as never a man did. Hundreds of white and colored flock to hear this "Black Billy Sunday." Never before were there such immense crowds of white people attendant upon the ministry of the Negro Preacher here in Pueblo, as came to hear the gifted Negro Revivalist, whose burning messages of salvation seemed to grip the souls of men.

Stably will contribute. Why not historic Bethlehem Baptist Church, while hundreds were turned away nightly, so great was the demand to hear Evangelist McPherson. When the smoke of battle was cleared away there were thirty-five happy souls that united with church. From Pueblo, Evangelist McPherson made his way to Colorado Springs. Evangelist McPherson began a union campaign at Paynes Chapel A. M. E. Church, of that city, on Friday evening, May 4th. That evening these was a blinding snow storm, but in spite of the snow, an immense audience greeted the famous California Revivalist, whose fame had preceded him, like Pueblo, hundreds of people in all walks of life flocked to hear the "Black Billy Sunday" as they called him. As he is considered by many that have heard "Billy Sunday" that the Black Revivalist is Mr. Sunday's only living rival. One of the strange incidents of the McPherson meeting at Colorado Springs, that the white people of this ulta southern city of the Southwest, out numbers the Colored people by ten to one, and on many occasion they crowded the Colored people out of their own churches. It is said that several hundred professed Christian religion under the (Co ntinued on pafe 8) San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, JUNE 23, 1917 Our * Managing * Editor * in * Train * Wreck LOS ANGELES SOLDIERS ARRIVE AT FORT DES MOINES C. A. Spear-Bass En Route We left Los Angeles Sunday afternoon, June 17, at 5 p.m. At first it seemed that we would have a very pleasant journey from Los Angeles to San Francisco, but upon nearing Ventura about 3 hours' ride from Los Angeles, we found that the mountains in that section were ablaze and that two of the little towns between Ventura and Santa Barbara were entirely wiped out by fire, and that even these were in great danger of being wiped out by the flames. The air was so hot that it seemed that we would parch from the intense heat that was in the air. All the way along until we reached San Jose we suffered fro mthe heat caused by this great forest fire that seemed to be sweeping the valley. From San Jose to Oakland we had an uneventful journey. We arrived at Oakland at 9:30 a.m. Monday morning, June 19, and after making business calls upon Mr. Moody, Oakland popular cafe man, Mr. Marshall, the successful furniture dealer, we went across to the historic San Francisco and interviewed Atty. O. Hudson, Mr. S. M. Shortridge and Mr. Hazard of the S. P. R. R. Co. After our business calls had been completed we made a very pleasant call upon Mrs. M. A Haywood and her daughter, Mrs. Hunt, of 1203 Wood St., and who had taken great pains in the preparation of an elaborate lunch which we greatly enjoyed. Mrs. Allen was Mrs. Taney of Los Angeles before she became the wife of Elder Allen of Oakland. After a very pleasant nine hours' stay at Oakland we left for Ogden, en route to Salt Lake, Topeka, and on to our destination, Jacksonville. Ill., for Miss Lynch and Providence for me. From Oakland to Sacramento we had a pleasant ride viewing on the one side the mountain crags of California and the poetic Pacific on the other. At about ten o'clock we retired thinking all was well, entrusting our future for the night to him who rULEH over all. After about 20 minutes out of Sacramento there came a great crash and a shower of broken, glass and timber rained down upon us. After we had recovered from the shock we were told that the accident was due to a piece of timber that projected from a heavily loaded freight train that was passing on a side track. However, other than cuts and bruises on our arm and head we escaped serious injury, and with the divine hand leading us on we hope to be able to relate other happenings yet to come that will in some small way be of interest to the readers of the California Eagle. LOS ANGELES EMBRYONIC OFFICERS ARRIVE SAFE- LY AT FT. DES MOINES The following telegram from Attorney Geo. H. Woodson, whose visit to this section last January left such a favorable impression, will no doubt be of more than passing interest to our readers. Des Moines, Iowa June 19, 1917. Hon. J. B. Bass, Editor California Eagle, 8th St. and Central Ave., Los Angeles, California:— Just returned from Fort Des Moines. Twelve hundred and fifty there. All happy, hearty and well. My California boys make good showing. All Los Angeles representatives send greeting and kind regards. Colonel Charles C. Ballou and officers in charge are proud of the men. Letters and papers to you and Captain Crumbly follows. OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP AT DES MOINES, IA. Special to the California Eagle By Cleveland, Buchanan By Cleveland Buchanan Many states were short a few men today when Col. Ballou read the oath of duty to the man sent here to qualify as officers. More than eight hundred were present. All of the western department were present. After which they were assigned to the company No. 13, Barracks No. 3. In this company of California boys are found. The Fort is one of the best in the United States. All buildings are brick. Tuskegee Institute leads in number of teachers, graduates and former students thus far. Howard has a large number with Fisk University and all the other leading schools well represented. Many doctors, lawyers, undertakers and business men in every walk of life are here to try for their place. The following named colored non-commissioned are in charge as instructors, and have the say: Squadron Sergt., Maj. Edward Spearman, 10th Cavalry, acting Captain. 1st Sergt. Walter R. Sanders, Troop A, 10th Cavalry, acting 1st Lieut. Sergt. Albert McReynolds, acting 2nd Lieut. Sergt. Hill, 24th Inf. Sergt. McLone, 10th Cav. Sergt. Short, 10th Cav. Sergt. Graham, 24th Inf. Sergt. Prichard, 24th Inf. Sergt. Merrill, 34th Inf. Sergt. Lindsay, 10th Cav. Cop. Chamberlis, 10th Cav. Sergt. Wm. Robinson, 10th Cav. Sergt. Fred Hill, 24th Inf. Sergt. Major Bruce Williams is in charge of the Administration Department and also Company 2. These named men certainly know their stuff. Not a man has served less than fifteen years in the United States Army. All have seen service in Mexico and other foreign countries. Not all of them have been to College, but let me tell you when the college men walk up to one he trembles in his shoes, as he is ordered to do something. These boys are educated in this work if ever there was such a thing. To look at one as he goes across the campus makes one think he is at West Point. If West Point men can instruct any better it's more than I know, that is along their line. No college man can have any more culture. Kindness prevails all over the camp. Every on eis well pleased. The above named men are in charge and I mean in charge. If they say go, you are gone. Col. Ballou has said so. Only one pair of shoes were issued, the umber beig 13, this pair wet to a certain member of the California Company. In measuring shoes here one must get two numbers larger. Next week I will tell you about some of the men who left their business and came here. ANNUAL SERMON INTER NATIONAL ORDER OF TWELVE Last Sunday was a notable day for the Sir Knights and Daughters of Tabor. The occasion was the Annual sermon of the order, the exercises incident thereto was held at the Independent Church. The program was timely and brought out the great work of the order. Chief Grand Mentor P. E. Anderson delivered an excellent address and the sermon preached by Rev. N. P. Greggs was one long to be remembered. The daughters made a most excellent appearance and it was withal a highly creditable occasion. REV. JONES DRAWING GREAT CROWDS Great crowds continue to crowd the big tent at 25th and Compton avenue to hear the noted Gospel preacher, Rev. Chas. P. Jones, who is even surpassing his previous record in this city. Rev. Jones is a grand man and one of whom esincerity of his calling can be seen in his every word and act. He is a high credit to his calling and is one of the greatest Gospel preachers in the entire country. No one should fail to hear him. The meetings are being held every night and will continue for the next two weeks. SERMON DELIVERED JUNE 17 AT A. M. E. ZION CHURCH AMUSEMENTS This morning I want to discuss fearlessly, plainly and openly the popular amusements of our attention and contribute so vastly to the moral and spiritual degradation of mankind. These views have been forged on the anvil of conviction and come red hot from the depths of my soul. I ask not their acceptance unless you believe them to be correct. You are your own judge, you must steer your own bark across the tmpestuous, sea of life. I give them with the hope of helping any standing on the terrace of indecision, and possibly opening the yes of those who never paused to catch a vision. First I wish to take up the theater. This institution was at one time a great friend of the church and was destined to wield a great influence when like Ephraim of old she joined to her idols. It had its rise right in the church but created such a rumpus that an absolute divorce was granted it with the alimony of cannon ball shots and dynamic blasts of attack from every man and woman with courage and backbone to assail it. I speak now of the stage as a distinctive institution. Absolutely I do not condemn it. It is possible to see plays that are helpful and instructive, there are some masterpieces worthy of all the homage that can be given them, but so few and far between are they that until the theater rises from its immoral lethargy and breaks the damning shackles by which it is bound the only safe course is to greatly circumscribe its area. Would you gainay my statement? If so, answer this question. The power and attraction of the stage is found where? Not in holding aloft the principles of honesty, righteousness and truth. Not in displaying the banner of man's better nature, no, but by reaching deep down amid the degrading foundations of human life and portraying the satanic passions which instead of lifting an audience to a higher level cast it into a blacker and deeper despair. The stage today is a hotbed of immorality and those who follow in its wake without reason, judgment and precaution (and they are legion) are treading the winepress of damnation. The movies are out in front to The movies are out in front today and for the time being are almost supplanting the actors 1. whose voices always thrilled. This institution is wielding a great influence and when properly censored will be one of our most powerful weapons with which to strike ignorance. But this indiscriminate way we have of starting out and saying "Let's go to the movies," knowing not where you are going or what you will see, I flatly denounce. Nine out of every ten films have a shady phase according to a reliable authority. Many boys and girls because of improper guidance in this respect are receiving impressions which will blight, blast and mar their lives. You warn your child to walk by the cursed saloon; you stand in fear of the Pest House's noxious fumes; you vigorously denounce the actions of a thief and robber; you assail furiously the man or woman with a character that can't stand the light of day and still you will send your little child, and even take your hypocritical self, and under the flashlights of the imp of Hell sit and giggle as these same qualities are put before you, and breathe joyfully the filth laden air of such musty scenes. The playwright is pandering to the basest passions of human nature but simply because we refuse to support him he doesn't. Extract this element and you close all of them tomorrow. The time has come when we must demand the best, the pure, the clean. Refuse your suffrage to those daring to question your honor, stain your children, and wreck your home. Let us rise and assert our manhood and womanhood. Let us recognize as enemies, of all who would drag us down. Let us demand that there be a change. The church takes its stand on this question and because of this very element, this mixing of evil with good, pure with impure, righteous with unrighteous. Let us stand firm, be courageous and true to our better selves. "Life is action, life is work, Life is battle in the field; Pound-the slothful ever lirk All life's enemies concealed." REV. B. C. ROBESON, Pastor A. M. E. Zion Church (To be continued) Election At The Forum Sunday. Sunday June 24th is the annual election at the Mens' Forum, and no doubt will be an interesting occasion. Last Sunday Judge Madden of Oklahoma was the speaker of the day, and his propaganda was not the sort that takes in this section, but was one that was calculated to wake up the animals and set the crowd to thirst.

Some of royal purple and gold. others of pink and gold, still others light blue and gold. ‘The sermon preached by Rev. Greggs, pastor, was one long to be remembered. At 7:30 o'clock service, Rev. J.

The Baptist hosts have gathered at Riverside this week in their annual Sunday School and State Convention and no doubt will do their share in promoting the welfare of this great denomination for the best interests of not only themselves, but the people at large of the great state in which we live. California truly maintains her reputation for a superior climate event if the mercury goes on a rampage, we have the consolation that it will soon recede and this last week was no exception to the rule as the hot spell was for only one day. And even though it has been like unto the widow's mite, we are pleased to note that the colored people are doing their bit nobly for the Red Cross. When Job was tempted after all of the disaster which was wrought upon him, he was asked to disown his God and live, but never did he falter, so in this crisis with this nation which is our very own, and despite the grievous wrongs which we suffer we say we will never disown our country or our flag, but will always be found in the forefront doing all of the things that are necessary to maintain its integrity and honor.

WE ARE WORKING AS A UNIT Governor William D. Stephens is in our city this week, and perhaps longer, and the people of Southern California are proud and happy. PETER H. The people of the South are now arranging to take advantage of the Governor's stay with them to hear him speak on the subject he has mastered, "State Defense and Food Conservation. At no time more than at the present is an intelligent, far-seeing, constructive policy needed, and at no time more than now has the loyal people of this State reason for ins- tifiable pride in actually knowing that they have for chief executive a man equal to any and every emergency. "Up and Doing" should be the watch-phrase, and the State Council of Defense, a patriotic institution of our Governor's own creation, the first of its kid, is setting pace for the whole galaxy of State constellations which are at present stimulating patriotism and conserving food resources. The people of Southern California feel proud that they have furnished to the State, in the person of William D| Stephens, a man so broad that he is free from sectional prejudice and capable of thinking and working for the whole State. Demonstrated efficiency, freedom from unreasoning partisanship, since the Nation demands the loyalty of all her people, Governor Stephens is that which he was conceived to be, a public man thoroughly committed to the very best interests of the people, and much appreciated because of that. In fact, Governor Stephens is working for the greatest good to the greatest number. He is not making "a sectional" governor, but he is standing firmly for Fairplay throughout the State, and he knows, as all fair-minded men must know, that there can be no FAIRPLAY with one section of the State in the saddle, and the other section holding the stirrup. The people know this and any contemplated "missionary work" to undo the present fair condition of affairs in matters govermental in this State is bound to fail. William D. Stephens stands, officially and personally for the very highest order of efficiency that grows from the Spirit of Fairplay. The people know this, all they ask for and will stand for not less than a conservation of all of the State's resources and a unification of the State's people—North, South, East, and West. tifiable pride in actually knowing that they have for chief executive a man equal to any and every emergency.

FIRST. A. M. E. ZOIN CHURCH Pico and Paloma St. The Wages of Sin is Death$^9$ we one of double subjects chosen by the pastor in Sunday morning discourse. Last Sunday the newspapers claimed was the hottest June day since June, 1879, and by far it was the hottest sermon to sinners and against sinning that the pastor has delivered since coming to this charge. He divided his text under sub heads, viz: Dancing, Card Playing and Lottery Playing. These popular evils he flayed with all of his might. He told of how one innocently and foolishly begins to play for fun and finally ends up in crime and the victim disgraced and put in jail. He dwelt on those who play Chinese lottery. He said even members of his church were guilty of such practices. He also touched on church entertainments and how the pastor is side tracked and encouraged to leave early so that the younger folks can dance at even a church entertainment. He condemned such in loud and definite terms. Next Sunday his subject will be at 11 a.m. service, "The Blessedness of Assurance." At 8 p.m. children's day exercises. Everybody welcome.

Many out-of-town visitors were present and there was one accession to membership. Everybody is welcome at all times to worship at Historic Eighth and Towne Ave., First African Methodist Episcopal Church. To the great delight of the Pastor and to the pride and honor of the loyal adherents of African Methodism, the faithful members and friends are constantly paying in "The Dollar Money" claim. And it is comforting to know that every person who pays this benevolent fee bears his and her part of the load of lifting up millions identified with the masses of the race. Special effort "Dollar Money Day" will be Sunday, July 15. But you can pay yours to the pastor now if you are able to do so. The pastor will deliver both sermons Sunday.

This celebration was to have been held in the City of London, England, but sowing to the titanic struggle in whence that country has been engaged in for the past three years, it was thought best to not postpone the celebration but to call on all the lodges of the country to assemble in their hall or church and hold appropriate services commerating the history and achievements of the order. The five Masonic Lodges of this city will hold this celebration at the A. M. E. Zion Church on the above date. A splendid program has been prepared by the committee for the occasion and the public is invited to attend this services. The committee has also prepared refreshments for those who attend.

I say that a message of vital importance awaits you all at Bethel A. M. E. Church, 1647 Front Street, on July 4th. We cannot afford to remain idle with an incoherent attitude any longer, but awaken to the fact that "The Negro must shape his own destiny and fight his own battles in order to achieve victory, and be guaranteed the genuine, honest to goodness, 'mon pure' civic, social and industrial freedom, of which he should have, and other Races are enjoying." Other Races are scheming and planning for themselves, not for you. We must be prepared to assist our brother in other sections of this country, in opposing the drafting of ordinances, regulating laws to crush his social, civil or industrial privileges and freedom, and to impose his progress as a Race. Other Races are surging forward on the sea of prosperity, never stopping to cast the anchor of doubt. "We cannot and must not all idly by and fall to join in this race of Life." We must launch our beat for a sail on the sea of triumph and success. What are you doing, young man to advance the cause of your Race? What are you doing, young woman, to foster the cause of Negro womanhood? Are you standing in your own light? We cannot afford to stand still. As a Race, are we going forward or backward? Do you understand why thousands of Southern Negroes are migrating to Northern and Western States? What has the head of destiny in store for the Negro of the future? What dangerous problems face the Negro of today? Are you your brothers' keeper? These and other vital questions are to be discussed and answered on the 4th. You owe it not only to yourself, but to your parents, to your Race, to be present with other loyal Race members on this day. The path of success and prosperity, never a "primrose path of radiance," is steeper, rougher and more thorny today than ever before. Then, too, the race of life has become intense. The runners are treading upon each other's heels. Woe to him who stops to tie his shoe strings! Never before were men devoured by so insatiable as unbaited, or impatient by so merciless as enticing. of our monster celebration It is the pace that kills. We need, therefore, a strong backbone, well developed muscles, all the vigor, all the health, animalism, all the optomism, all the hope and grit we can muster up to strengthen us for the struggle. The Negro must inevitably face the trying hours, stem the acid test; hence, we call upon you now to contribute your energy, talent and skill to assist us in combatting the evils of today and prime us for the test of the morrow. By combining our efforts together we will successfully remove all mythical barriers of color line; abolish jimcrowism and segregation; in fact, to stand together as a whole, no barrier ever erected will be able to withstand our onslaught in this fight for our constitutional rights. Tournament doors will open at 12 o'clock, noon, and close at 10 o'clock p. m. Refreshments will be served between the above prescribed hours. From 7:30 p. m. to 9:00 p. m., the committee has arranged for an excellent program consisting of some of the best Negro musical talent in Southern California. Following the musical program, will be addressed by a number of our ablest orators. (Signed) NATHAN ROBINSON, San Diego, California. No. 832 Union Street. SACRAMENTO NEWS The many friends of Mr. W. P. Taylor will heartily join in congratulating him on his promotion to special clerk in the local postoffice.

Indeed he had come. This slower lasted some thirty minutes; but in taking up the workage I found that nearly $20 damage had been done to them in my favor. A few days later a pack of potatoes was found on my porch. A high clear hue came in this storm with her note She spurned plough with her new equividence fum.

New Orleans, La., June 15, 1917—Uncle Sam has employed 800 Colored men from the Southern Pacific Railroad and 1200 from other parts of Louisiana. These men have been sent to France to do governmet raDroad work for the United States, with one year contract. This is including three meals per day, clothing, shower baths, barber, nurse, doctor and medicine. Their salaries are from $65 to $100, to be permanent. Truckers, $65 Flight sorters, $90 Foremen, $100 Mechanics, $95 Fall Tenders, $80 Trackmen, $85 New Orleans, La.—Roy Darby, Company K, First Louisiana infantry, ran his bayonet through the body of James Morgan, 54 years old, a Negro, 919 Elmra street, Algiers, Wednesday fternoon when the latter refused or was unable to show his passport to the river front. Morgan was taken to the Charity Hospital. The soldier's bayonet had pierced his chest just below the right shoulder, causing a dangerous wound. The Negro was foreman of a gang of stevedores in the employ of the Southern Pacific Steamship Company. According to the police, he had refused to show his pass and had attempted to force his way to the river front when Darby stopped him. Darby was sent back to the ICty Park pending an investigation. DEMANDING RIGHTS Dr. H. B. Frissell, principal of Hampton iInstitute, has said in a recent letter: "As Dr. Washington and Dr. Moton have proved by their lives of quiet, unpretentious service, the colored man is going to secure recognition, not by demanding his rights, but by deserving them." Dr. Moton himself does not seem to agree with the above as his excellent letter on Negro loyalty contains an implicit demand for better treatment. The Richmond, Va., Planet adds: A right is a thing to be demanded; a privilege, a thing to be deserved. Hf Dr. Frissell had said that the colored man is going to secure recognition by demanding his rights and by deserving them, we would understand fully that he recognized that the citizen of color is entitled to every right and every privilege enjoyed by any other citizen. We pause to remark that the colored people in this country will never come unto their own as long as they believe that they are inherently inferior and that they are not manly enough to deserve their rights, and after deserving their rights, to demand them. The badge of servility, better known by the look of cowardice and the halting attitude of submission to any wrong, is what is handicapping us more than anything else. Colored people who could lead a charge at El Caney and San Juan Hill should walk upright, and, while being respectful and obliging, should demand their rights when necessary and "dig deep in their jeans" to secure the necessary legal rights which will make them respected by their enemies in the courts of this country. Manhood is what is wanted and not servile submission. A blooded white man hates a cringing citizen, be he black or write, and he admires manhood, self respect and courage in a Negro as much as he does in an Englishman, Frenchman or a German. The colored man is going to obtain his rights, Dr. Frissell, by demanding them and by deserving them. To this the Boston Guardian adds: We arise also to deny directly that the "quiet service" lives of Booker T. Washington or of Russa Moton secured recognition of rights. The most striking thing about the race-leadership career of Dr. Washington was that coindicent with it went the greatest period of loss of citizenship and of legal debarment from rights eevr known in any race that once enjoyed full rights and especially during the time Dr. Washington preached most pronounced the doctrine of "quietly deserving" rights. No further exposition of that matter by us is any longer needed. We warm Dr. Frissell against reviving the Booker Washington no agitation issue. Dr. Washington's own friends do not relish or desire it. From The Book, by J. D. Reynolds. Fighting Parson preaching of the Black Evangelist, while many of the sick and suffering were wonderfully healed by prayers and the laying on of this wonderful man of God's gifted hands. So great was the demand to hear the powerful old time gospel messages of Evangelist McPherson, that in order to keep people from being crushed, that the Commissioner of Public Safety, placed policemen to keep back the crowds. As a last resort, the white ministers, business men, headed by his Honor, Mayor Charles E. Thomas, and Sheriff Thomas P. Ware, secured the Temple Theatre, one of the largest auditoriums in the city, which seated more than 2500, where Evangelist McPherson preached is closing messages to anxious thousands of both Races. After three weeks' stay, Evangelist McPherson was invited by Rev. Dr. David E. Over, minister of Big Zion Baptist Church, Denver, one of the largest Negro Churches in the country. It is said that the historic Big Zion, is one of the finest equipped Negro edifices in America. Dr. Over and his great congregation had just closed one of the most successful series of revival meetings ever held in the City of Denver, by any of the local congregations, less than a month, when more than one hundred souls were added to the church. Many thought unwise to have Evangelist McPherson visit Denver, at this time, but the foresight of a great leader, such as Dr. Overs, has proven himself to be in the Rocky Mountain regions among the Baptist prevailed, and the much talked of "Fighting Parson," came to the Capitol City, to attack the stronghold of sin in his characteristic way. On Sunday morning, May 27, the historic Big Zion, 24th Ave. and Ogden St., was the scene of a mighty out pouring. Hundreds crowded this historic old edifice to hear the much talked of California Revivalist. I1 is said that Evangelist McPherson preached the sermon of his life, on the there, "Great is the Mystery Godliness." And for two weeks hundreds crowded Big Zion and thirty happy souls, mostly strong men, gave their lives to Jesus Christ. As Sunday marked the closing day, hundreds crowded Zion to hear the final messages of the man from California. After a few days rest, Evangelist McPherson goes to Pueblo, where he is to preach and deliver several addresses upon Evangelism, before the Tenth Annual Session of the Colorado Baptist State Association. From there Evangelist McPherson will fill several dates in Wyoming and Utah and journey towards the oGlden State, where he plans to hold several big tent meetings during the midsummer. As Evangelist McPherson has met with such marvelous success he has under way plans to organize an Evangelistic party of singers and personal workers and will tour the entire country, holding great union meetings. Thus California has given to the world, not only a Hiram W. Johnson, who is looked up as the next President of the United States, but a McPherson, who is detained to outrival the much talked of Billy Sunday. It has been suggested that the home coming of Evangelist McPherson be made a big event among the ministry, that he may address a big mass meeting-at some central point. SAN BERNARDINO NEWS Mrs. E.
