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.

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. What the Churches are Doing --- SECOND A. M. E. CHURCH Rev. E. R. Johnson, Pastor The services last Sunday were up to the average, there were visitors from Pomona and Long Beach. The District Superintendent, Mrs. Judkins, addressed the Sunday school. On Friday the presiding elder held the fourth and last quarterly conference of the year. Splendid reports were made by all departments, the total amount raised this quarter was $180.00. On Tuesday night the California Eagle gave us a grand patriotic and musical concert which was highly appreciated. Editor Bass and staff did a splendid work inspiring the people to higher ideals and greater efforts. WARD A. M. E. CHURCH eRv. J. W. Price, Pastor This church was the recipient of many spiritual blessings on the last Lord's Day; three splendid services during the day, this being our second effort on the rally all were much pleased with results. Dr. J. C. Anderson preached for us at 3 p.m. bringing us a fiery message, after which some of the captains made their glowing reports. Sister Eliza True as usual led in this grand work bringing in $27 even. Mrs. M. Bisco was second with $14.60, this makes a total of $33.55 for brother and sister True during our efforts. We are very grateful to them for their much needed help. We desire to express our thanks to all who assisted them or us directly in this struggle which enabled us to meet our payment. Sunday, July 1st, will be our 4th and last quarterly meeting, come and enjoy the big union 3 o'clock service on that day. Friends get your dollar money ready, let's get this out of the way. Services at this church Sunday as usual. Sunday school 9:30 a.m. Alen Christian Endeavor, 7 p.m. Preaching at the morning hour 11 a.m. Regular evangelist services at 8 p.m. All are welcome. The most unique membership camp by the local 9th street branch Young Men's Christian Association ever conducted in this city is in full swing this week. It is known as the Mid-Summer Drive Membership campaign, is organized into 9 divisions representing the United States and eight of the allied countries of Europe now in war against Germany. The men and boys outside of the association are the coveted prizes that have brought on the war. The aims of the war are definitely stated and the terms of peace specified. The aim is more territory and power and the terms of peace are the capture of 500 men and boys by July 8th and the moment this is accomplished hostilities will cease. Dr. Geo. D. Taylor is commander in chief of the army and the following men and boys are commanders in chiefs of their respective countries: J. H. Stevens, Servia; James Warren, Portugal; J. Thomas Norris, Roumania; Jno. W. Coleman, Russia; J. Lucius Jarrett, United States of America; Clarence Bluette, Belgium; John Kelson, Italy; Atty. A. McDowell, France; T. A. Greene, Ir. England. The war is booked to close July 8. There are three great war prizes to be awarded to the division capturing the largest number of men. Secretary Greene, chief war adviser, says he is confident that victory is sure by the time designated. Following a short praise service Sunday afternoon, the Y. M. C. A. convene. Addresses by leading members will be made. It was indeed a fine tribute to the loyalty and devotion of the membership and congregation of Scott Chapel to see how well they turned out on last Sabbath in spite of the extreme heat. The pastor made a profound impression on the congregation in the message of the morning. His subject was, "For Fear of Being Counted Unpatriotic and Disloyal, Shall I Cease Praying For Peace, and Dry My Tears For This Awful Day?" At night the Knights and Daughters of Tabor, had their annual sermon preached, by Pastor Kinchen. A great company of brothers and sisters of the order, from Los Angeles, der, augmented the local lodge and made a fine impression in behalf of this great order. Pastor Kinchen will preach at both services on Sunday. The good people of Scott Chapel joined Pastor Kinchen in giving a hearty welcome to his old friend, Joe Bronson of Los Angeles. Everybody is looging forward to the great event of the year, the June Carnival, which will begin on the 26 and ending on the 28th. Sister Jane Robinson entertained the Ladies' Aid Society on Thursday evening. Metropolitan Baptist Church Notwithstanding the very hot weather, the services last Sunday were very satisfactory all day. The Pastor preached at the morning service and Bro. Arthur Morris delivered his first sermon at the evening hour; it was a very creditable one. The rally was finally wound up on last Sunday evening and resulted as follows: At the emergency installment in April, $100.00. The Strong Men's Club, $123.00. The Women's Rally Club, $171.02. The Pastor, by himself, $500.00. Total, $894.02. From which the Pastor was paid and $500.00, including interest, was paid on the main mortgage debt. This leaves only $522.00 balance on the Church debt. Which the officers are planning to wipe out at another rally on the Zad Sunday in Oct. 1917. Arrangements were made on last Sunday evening for the Church to hold a public event in honor of --- SCOTT CHAPEL NOTES the Pastor and Mrs. Hughes, it being the 3rd anniversary of his pastorate and also the 11th wedding anniversary. During his 3 years Pastorate, the Church debt has been cut from over $4,000.00 down to $552.00, the building completed, pews put in; a Social Hall and day nursery and dining room added to it and all paid for. This is a very excellent record, or rather a record breaker. The women's rally club being the victors over the Strong Men's Club, will also share the honors of the reception. The banquet or reception will be held on Thursday, June 28th, 1917, at the social hall, and all members and friends are invited. The Pastor and a number of Members are in attendance at the State Convention at Riverside this week. QUARTERLY MEETING IS POSTPONED The fourth and last quarterly conference of the present conference year, instead of being held next Sunday, has been postponed until the following Sunday preceded by a Love-feast and general class meeting next Wednesday night. On last Sunday the Rev. J. M. Riddle preached at the morning service, while at evening, because of the day's excessive heat, the services were curtailed to a short praise meeting. The energy of the church this week is bent upon the successful entertainment of the District Conference and Sunday School convention. A large number of delegates and visitors, especially from Los Angeles, are enjoying the hospitality of the church and its auxiliaries. Peoples Independent Church of Christ Cor. 18th and Paloma eRv. N. P. Greggs, Pastor In spite of the intense heat last Sunday, a large congregation gathered at the Independent Church at 11 o'clock service. The pastor took his text from the 47th chapter of Ezekiel Ezekiel's Vision. The lesson given, "How good dominates over evil." For the afternoon the sermon of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor was preached. Atty. Clarence A. Jones, Master of Ceremonies. This proved to be one of the most brilliant afternoon affairs in the history of the church. The Daughters who have been in position to wave the banner of Friendship, Love and Unity, as high officers, were known by the beautiful and gorgeous robes that they wore. 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. J. Josephs, a young minister, who has before him a brilliant future as a messenger of God, took as his text the following, "Be Sure Your. Sin Will Find You Out," a portion of number 32, 23. Much benefit was received from this sermon by all who heard it. The sermon of the Masons will take place next Sunday afternoon. We welcome you to be with us on all occasions. Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church—34th and Central Ave. .E. E. Lightner, Pastor In spite of the intense heat, on last Sunday, an appreciative audience worshipped at this church. The pastor occupied the pulpit and preached a special sermon to the children and young people, taking as his text, "I Am the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley," S. of S. 2:1. At the evening service the children of the Sunday School rendered their "Children's Day" program to an audience that taxed the seating capacity of the church. "The Supreme Object of Endeavor" will be the subject of the pastor at the morning service on next Sunday. The evening service will be under the auspices of the Missionary Society of the Church. Mrs. Charles Alexander will speak on "Africa, As I Saw It." There will be special musical numbers. All are invited.

P.Dones, THE NEW YORK TIMES Gonsouland Car Toilet Device (PATENTED) Comfort and Convenience While Traveling The laws of sanitation make it compulsory that toilets on all passenger coaches be closed while in the city limits and while being transferred across all bodies of water. Especially in the State of Colorado. The traveling-public has suffered patiently from this inconvenience with the belief that the railroads could find no remedy for the causes that required such stringent SANITARY MEASURES. Gonsouland to Copper and Improved Water Heater and Flushing Device is the outcome of over thirty-five cases of a Railroad Explosion that has not been studied and studied the expense railroads are under in consequence of the press that UNSANITARY methods of operating toilets on all cars, whether Pullman, Private or Regular Coach, but has witnessed the many hardships and inconvenience the traveling public is put to—particularly women and children—at all time, and especially during LAYOVERS and train delays. The Necessity for some more modern comfortable and sanitary relief from the present ANTIQUE and UNHEALTHY arrangements now in use has always appealed to the Railroad Officials who constantly study the comforts of their patrons, but it so happens and quite naturally, that the practical and permanent relief has been devised by a man whose daily occupation brought him forcibly in contact with these long-felt needs. Everything that pertains to the comfort and convenience of the traveling public in the toilet, coupled with facilities for keeping clean the cars with a minimum of trouble and a maximum of hot water, and the possibility of avoiding delays, losses of pocket-books and rings, etc., of passengers, financial losses and litigation to the Railroad, is all combined in these two devices working as one, and I respectfully submit same to the human factors who are constantly studying the interests of the public and the roads they represent, and hope for a favorable consideration and adoption of my patents. The use of these patents may be leased separately if desired. The use of these parents may be less separately in designed. May be used on street cars, overhead trains and suburban electric trains.

A packed house was charmingly entertained by the noted reader, while Mrs. Winters was in glorious voice and her deep contralto was indeed a feature of the evening. The local talent also played well their part and won much applause. The Rev.

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.

The people know this and any contemplated "missionary work" to undo the present fair condition of affairs in matters governmental 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. Welcome, Governor, we are proud of you!

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.

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.

LAWS, Business Manager Thirtieth Anniversary California Eagle MOMENTOUS MEETING TO BE HELD AT SAN DIEGO "A voice from afar, or an awakening of the wise." "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear." Never before in the history of San Diego has the Negro of this city been aroused as he is today. On the 4th day of July, next, the Colored citizens of this community plans to give the largest get-together movement ever attempted south of the Tehachepi, and judging from the interest manifested by not a few Race, members, it will prove the one great and most successful demonstration of its kind ever held in this city. The call it to "yon, young man." The call is to "yon, young woman." Yes to the old and the young, the rich and the poor. The call is to every Negro in this community. 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. Mr. Taylor won the honor from white competitors, as he was the only race man competing for the position. This is an honor which comes to few of our people and only to those efficient. Patience is a slow going virtue, but those who have it win in a walk. Complimenting Mrs. Chas, Overton of San Jose who has been the guest of Mrs. T. D. Walker the past week, a number of friends were asked to spend the evening Friday, which was devoted to conversations of various subjects and sweet music rendered by the handsome new Edition hat Mr. Walker gave Mrs. Walker for a birthday present.

The table was beautifully decorated with a lovely center bouquet of sweet peas and dainty refreshments which were in keeping with the warm weather, were enjoyed by Mr. and Mrs. P. F. O'Reilly, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Francis, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Scott, the honored guest and host and hostess. Greatness comes by doing great things.

Zion Baptist Church and a host from St. Paul whose names will appear in another issue of this paper. The storm came about 10 p. m. There was little disturbance in the outer atmosphere when suddenly like thunder from a clear sky, the indian company filed into our apartments to the appropriate melody, "The comforter has come." 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.
