Promptly at 3:02 p. m., the Most Worshipful Grand Master, A. Harris, of St. John Lodge, No. 5, Master of Ceremonies, rose and stated the object of Masonic Anniversaries. In the Grand Master's remarks, he made every strong impression upon the audience, for with the spade knowledge he dug deep into the principles of Masonry. And with the shovel of wisdom he hearted to the congregation he good that Masonry is doing to humanity. The Grand Master's remarks, though brief, were sermon within itself, for every word went home to his hearers. Mrs. Shaffer, of Electa Chap. No. 3, representing the Org. of Eastern Star, rendered a beautiful solo. The Most Worshipful Grand Faster then introduced the Rev. Fo. N. P. Greggs, who had been selected to preach the sermon for the occasion. The Rev. Bro. Greggs took for its text the 2nd Chapter and 5th Verse of II. Cor. With this text he preached one of the greatest sermons that most of his earlers had ever been given he privilege to hear. His seron was filled with enthusiasm from the beginning to the end, and the explanation given onasonry was most wonderful. After the sermon, prayer was offered by Worshipful Master Laster, of St. John Lodge, No. 5, the church choir then rendered beautiful anthem, "I will Praise that." This song was indeed filled with spirit and inspiration, the echo of which still rings within the hearts of the congregation. The collection of $45.32 was th ken in only a few minutes. The following Craftsmen waited upon the congregation at this hour: Past Deputy Grad Master J. H. Willingham and Past Deputy Grand Master Paul Alexander, both of B. F. Tolbat Lodge No. 8; Brother Edmonds, of Delta Lodge, No. 21, and Brother Jenkins, of Angel City Lodge, No. 18.

Skinner and Bro. J. B. Loving, Grand Marshals of the day, were gracefully lined up and marched east on 18th St. to Central Ave., north on Central to 12th St. to the Masonic Hall, from whence they came.

Roberts, of Holland Lodge, No. 20; Paul Grand Royal PatronHarry Lewis, of Electa Chapter, No. 3. Last Tuesday evening was a memorable occasion with the Masonic Fraternity of this city, and the exercises at the A. M. E. Zion Church, on Pico and Palomo Sts., was one which exemplified and gave a retrospective analogy of the progress of Masonry insofar as it applies to the Negro in America. W. A. Clark gave a philosophic delineation of the progress of Negro Masonry for the past 200 years and conclusively proved the soundness and stability of the craft in this country. This thesis ably backed by Grand Master Harris was an intellectual treat and worthy of their painstaking effort to present this valuable treatise to the craft and the public on this occasion.

At eleven o'clock the pastor preached a wonderful sermon, and it touched the hearts of all who heard it. The program for the afternoon and was said by all present that it was the greatest ever witnessed at this church. At two-thirty the Angelus band burst forth with sweet strains of "How Firm a Foundation," and its melodious strains of many other familiar pieces. Atty. A. McDowell delivered the welcome address. We are proud to know that we have such a genius in our race, and much credit is due this professional young man for he has a wonderful personality, and he believes in going to the bottom and bring to the public not heresay, but actual facts. After giving a brief sketch of the life of the speaker, which was thoroughly enjoyed. He introduced Rev. Glen MacWilliams and since we have heard this noted speaker, we can say as did Mr. McDowell, he is a silver tongued orator. Rev. McWilliams chose for his subject, "Thou shall have no other God before me." In his own elegant way he made many beautiful illustrations and we were all benefited both spiritually and intellectually and he left a favorable impression that will be of The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.

CARD PLAYING Another sin which in its subtle way of working is fastly undermining manhood and womanhood, plunging souls into a pool filled with the waters of shattered resolves and broken lives is card-playing, one of the worst evils in the whole category of crime. Yet we speak of just playing for fun and therefore receiving no harm. When I hear such an idiotic reason I feel like asking that Jack to bray. Any dunce knows that you had to play for fun before you could learn. And too tho' it may now be fun for you, it affects somebody else. Somewhere, sometime, somehow your life touches the life of others. We're bound together by the cords of common humanity, what I do affects you and what you do affects me. "No man liveth to himself," and Bless God you can't even die to yourself. Every blackleg gambler filching the pockets of men today was first one of these fun players. Nine-tenths of the worlds Gamblers learned the trade too right in their own homes and sometimes with supposedly God-fearing parents as their teacher. Isn't that a pretty picture? Some father or mother helping the child dynamite its own soul! Parents taking children by the hand saying "Come on, this is the way to Hell but if you're careful you won't pass the white line of gambling!" I verily believe when such a person gets in hell and they're bound too, Old Nell will send then down to save them. if they had the long power of a tow of gunpowder Davge could it hear them holler. Another thing, sin never walks by itself. It always caurits something along with it. Show me any regular card player who might after night chase the jack all over creation, and I'll show you some old whiskey drinker or else a fellow who can make a beer can call for a policeman. You cannot commit one and stop. You are bound to keep on going. These cardplaying Christians play progressive suicide one night and come Church Sunday with a rule of sanctimoniousness and a face reaching from here to the Kongo Basin. This is the person that always despises a hyphocrite, can always denounce evil in somebody else but never see themselves. For the sake of goodness get some sense. If you want to do these things have respect enough for yourself and the Church to get out and stay out until you bring your hypocritical self to the footstool of mercy and cry out with David, "Restore unto me O God the joy of my salvation." One day a man of God was proclaiming the truth as it is in Christ Jesus, was approached by a mother with a hungdown head, tear-stained eyes and grief-striken heart. He listened attentively as she told the story of a darling boy who in a moment of exasperation over a game of cards had murdered a companion. Far away in a dingy prison his life was apying the price of his crime. She requested the minister to visit her boy and tell him the sweet story of old, and gave him a photo of herself to carry her precious jewel. The minister went to the prison and called for the boy. He came and listened to the man of God impart his mothers message. His lips did not quiver, his shame did not shake, his voice did not tremble as looking the minister straight in the eyes he cried, "You take that picture back to my mother and tell her I say Damn her! I never liked to play cards but to keep up with society she made me learn. She urged me on until finally I became a gambles. Now that my life has been ruined and she disgraced, she repents of her sin and shame. Take that picture back and tell her I say Damn her!" Fathers and mothers do your duty now. Let your children go on down the boileard of damnation if you want to. Urge them to followlow the dictates of a hell-bound society. Let your home be a haven for the gamblers of the future if you will, someday your children when in the clutches of the law and shall learn in prison what they should have learned at home they will curse the day they were born, and heap cruel and brightning anathemas upon your head. "Arise therefore and be doing." Rev. B. C. Robeson. Pastor A. M. E. Zion Church. INDEPENDENCE Solemn High Mass will be sung in St. Philip's Church on the morning of July 4 at seven (7) o'clock to which all people are invited. The intention of the Mass is three fold, (1) to honor God, (2) to excite patriotism, and (3) to pray for those of our city and country who are enlisted for the war. The Rector will be the celebrant, an dthe Rev. C. B. Robeson, S. T. B., will be the preacher. All person are urged to come and commune with God in this quiet hour on this National Day particularly asking Him to bring us out of our present confusion into the order and rightness of His Kingdom, in the hour of prosperity to fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the hour of coming adversity to suffer not our faith to fail. Many persons will be taking the day as one of recreation but let us begin it with GOD FIRST, and so will our hearts be lighter for the joys before us the rest of the day. What the Churches are Doing PAGE TWO SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH There was a large gathering out last Sunday to hear Dr. Prowd's sermon on the "Unity of Christ and the Church."

DISTRICT CONFERENCE AND SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVEN- TION CLOSE MEET- INGS Friday afternoon the District Conference and Sunday School Convention closed the most successful meeting in its history, at the A. M. E church in Pasadena. The hospitality of Pasadenaans and the proximity of the convention to the city as well as the change in the date to accommodate the convenience of the young people all served to make this a record convention in every respect. Rev J. H. Wilson, presiding elder, was in charge, but yielded to meetings of the Sunday School, Mite Missionary Society and Allen League. Lively, helpful discussion of problems, and needs as well as prospects of the denomination in this district gave interest to all the meetings of the three days. A public reception was tendered the convention on the 19th by the stewards of the Pasadena church. Reports from all the delegates demonstrated the progress and a general efficiency of the churches and their chief auxiliaries throughout the district. Execution of officers Friday for the Sunday School Convention was the last event of importance. This resulted in the choice of Mrs. John R. Wright of Pasadena to, serve as district superintendent during the ensuing year. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Cor. 8th and Towne Ave. Rev. J.

Greggs, pastor, took as his theme in the morning "An Empty Heart." He cautioned his congregation to be sure when the heart was once free of sin to fill it at once with love and blessing from above, as the empty heart like the idle brain, is the devil's workshop. In the afternoon the pastor and members were honored by having as their guest the order of Masons. The excellent program together with the masterly sermon preached by Rev. Greggs was enjoyed by all present. 2.3% of the tools in his theme, "An Unburdened Life." He gave as burdens temper, covetousness, the tongue, love of praise and flattery.

Meetings of the board and of the church were held this week. Following closely the lead of the U. S. oGovernment a call has been issued to conscript an army of Friendship church members.

In figuring the run-producing capabilities of the different National League teams in relation to base stealing and sacrifice hitting as contributory factors, it was found that sacrificing does more to promote scoring than the other method. This was a very unique discovery. Sacrificing brings more runs across the plate than base stealing. A principle that flows through all life. By giving we get, by helping we are helped, by pushing others ahead we climb the ladder of progress ourselves, by sacrificing ourselves we help the team to score and win the game. The Phillies sacrificed while the Giants relied on base stealing. In proportion to hits the Phillies made more runs than the Giants. It never fails to send men across the plate. Base stealing is fine at times. It is alright to be hailed as a slugger who can often clean up the bases, but the men who always ring true, the consistent winner, the dependable aggregation are great sacrificers. The spirit of the times calls for sacrifice hitters. Men who will brush aside all temptations to sit on the stool of vain-glory and self-aggrandizement, and sacrifice for the good of their country. Men who will not minimize their chances of scoring by grandstand plays, by spectacular footwork, but men who will think only of the fact that the home team must score and the game must be won. We need souls afame with the sacrificial spirit. No idiotic, baseless, an dinsensible sacrificing, but intelligent, reasonable and sane sacrificing. We must stop all waste, trample on all petty ennities and wrongs, bring out the hose and stir the gardens to action. This war must be won. We have enough autocracy, injustice and absurdity here now. All that is dear to life itself is wrapped up in this victory. Defeat would mean disaster, heart-breaking and the hanging of heads. Be calm, render sacrifice, give service. You can't score without your country's help now. Watch the game, use your head, grasp the opportunity when it comes. When the scoreboard flashes the result our country will sing a paeon of victory. REV. B. C. ROBESON, SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS PEOPLE TO OPEN NEW HOTEL On or about the 15th of this month a new and up to date hotel will be open to the public. Mr. and Mrs. F. K. Hines arrived in this city from Birmingham, Ala., on the 9th day of October, 1912, and in a few months later went into the rooming house business. Their first location was 1040 East 9th street. After occupying that building for a short time it proved to be too small for their many friends that wanted to room with them. They rented the large two-story building at Nos. 726-8 Ceres avenue. They ran that house successfully for about two years. After the expiration of said time it proved to be too small for their rapidly growing business. They bought out the roaming house just across from them, No. 725 Ceres avenue, making three two-story houses operated all at the same time. And now the three houses have proven to be too small. So Mr. Hines has secured a long lease on the large building, No. 577 Central avenue, where they have more than thirty nice airy rooms, beautifully lighted, instant heaters, hot or cold bath at all times. In connection with the hotel Mr. and Mrs. Hines will also run the roaming houses Nos. 726-8 Ceres avenue. Mr. Hines in discussing his success in business said it was to a very large degree due to the sticktoitiveness of his wife. When it comes to business Mr. and Mrs. Hines have but few equals, so we predict for them, wheresoever they may go or what soever they may do, a great and successful future.

SCOTT CHAPEL NOTES Pastor Kinchen was greeted by a large audience on his return from Allensworth, where he went to deliver the address to the graduating class. The people went away from the services with a new vision as to their responsibility to the youth of the community. The evening service was the educational service in charge of Miss Gladys Harris. It was one of the best services of its kind that many had ever seen. The addresses delivered by Doctor Stovall, Mrs. Spear-Bass, Mr. Banks of the Internal Revenue office, Prof. Chas. Alexander, Miss Mabel Harris and Attorney Ceruti were among the finest that we have heard. The church was filled to hear them. The good people of this community will always be under lasting obligations to those friends for bringing to us the best in stock. Education has a new meaning to all of us. Miss Gladys Harris is to be congratulated. Pastor Kinchen, who has the record of preaching more lodge sermons than most preachers, 25 to date, will preach the annual sermon of The Sir Knights and Daughters of Tabor of ERNEST H. RUSSELL Res. 1308 West 35th Place Phone West 4496 A 102 South Spring St. NOTICE TO CREDITORS No. 35347 ZIOKZ ANKOELIAS THE WITH WITH 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. The Gonsouland Toilet Hopper and Improved Water Heater and Flushing Device is the outcome of over thirty-five years experience of a Railroad Employee, who has not only seen and studied the expense railroads are under in consequence of the present UNSANITARY methods of operating toilets on all cars, whether Pullman, Private Railroad or public railroad, and having 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 UN-HEALTHY 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. IN CONCLUSION and convenience of the town of trouble and a mansgs, etc., of passengers, faine, and I respectfully supersen the roads they repressen separately if desired. Ins and suburban electric approval of the traveliug 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, I 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. May be used on street cars, overhead trains and suburban electric trains. No removal of present equipment required. Will fit all trains and will meet the approval of the traveling public, Board of Health and Railway Commission. H. P.

It is also averred that the plaintiff occupies the same position and status as the Pueblo Indian towns of Mexico existing at the time of the Spanish discovery of America, and that "Spain during all the period of its sovereignty over the territory including the land herein described at all times recognized and in no instance disputed the ownership of said lands by the Pueblo of Santa Rost and by repeated royal orders and decrees, recognized the PAPAGO Indians and the inhabitants of said pueblo as free vassals of the Spanish crown, entitled to. all the protection in their property rights which was accorded to Spanish subjects, and recognized and confirmed the ownership of plaintiff in said lands;" that, after the establishment of its sovereignty, Mexico recognized plaintiff's ownership of the land described, and during the period of Mexican sovereignty the inhabitants of the Pueblo of Santa Rosa were recognized as Mexican citizens, enjoying property rights and other rights accorded to citizens of Mexico by the United States of sovereignty over the territory comprising said land and at the time of the making of said treaties the said Pueblo of Santa Rosa was the absolute owner with complete, perfect and indefeasible title to the land herein described against all governments and individuals and all the world, except such rights as pertained to the inhabitants of said pueblo as members thereof, and since said change of sovereignty this perfect title and ownership has continued to exist and now exists. The inhabitants of said Pueblo of Santa Rost ever since said change of sovereignty have been and now are actually in possession, use and occupation of all of said land except in so far as recently they have been wrongfully disturbed in said use and occupation by trespassers without color of right or title." Mr. Cuffee calls the attention of the reading public and thousands of people who desire straight hair, those having a large growth of hair and experienced with the straightening comb obtain good results, but only until the hair becomes wet, making it more curly than before. Those whose hair has been too short to attempt to use the hot irons use pomade, some of which we know when used are so astringent it must not touch the scalp. CUFFEE'S HAIR STRAIGHTENER can be applied with the hands as it is absolutely harmless. In this and other cities; those who are engaged in hair work can reap big profits by handling my new preparation for straightening the hair. After examining Mr. Cuffee's new hair straightening preparation we are persuaded to believe that Mr. Cuffee has discovered the most successful hair straightener that as yet has been put on the market. The Rev. Charles P. Jones of Jackson, Miss., the far famed and noted preacher who two years ago preached at the Union Revival at 9th and Hemlock Street in the monster tent and who by his messages awoke this city as never before along spiritual lines, arrived here last Saturday and will preach under a tent at 25th and Long Beach Avenue for two weeks, under the auspices of Bethel Church of Christ, Rev. C. A. Washington, pastor. The meetings this week have been well attended, despite the report that has been circulated that this was not the same Rev. Jones who appeared here two years ago. The Eagle has met Rev. Jones, shook his hand and will say that he is the same Jones and that the same message of love of home emanates from his lips as before, if anything with even more power before. So this coming week in order to get seats you must get to the tent early. Take Red cars or Hooper avenue cars, get off at 25th street. CITIZENS WILL BE FAVORED WITH A RARE TREAT The management of the Day Nursery are fortunate indeed to procure a date at Blanchard Hall on the evening of July 2nd, for the far famed and original Fisk University Jubilee Singers. The singers are unsurpassed and are travelling in the interest of Fiske University and it goes without saying that the hall will be filled to its utmost capacity to hear this wonderful band of singers.

If any organization or cult countenances the presence of a known all around good for nothing member like a rotten apple will affect the whole of the organization itself, so beware. Rev. L. G.

W. White, D. D. Matthews, Mr. Richardson and G. W. O'Bee. In the pending battle for real democracy every citizen is supposed to do his bit, and we are glad to know that the colored citizens of these United States will in the future as in the past, stand ever ready to do their full share for the ennobling cause presented. With the new Y. M. C. A. temporary building in the heart of the black belt, conditions in that area should at least be up lifted. CENTRAL AVENUE And now with the prohibiting of dice shaking the Negro business zone of Central avenue should rise and shine in all of its glory and a campaign should be made for more and varied sorts of business. There is no reason whatever but that a first class colored grocery and meat market should not be a paying venture on this street, a feed and fuel business, and a combination of the many small barber shops, making one great big and creditable concern. This great Negro metropolis surely should let the towns of Oakland and Bakersfield outshine them in this respect, and now the people of Central avenue who dare and do must get busy and make hay while the sun shines.

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. H 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 pronouncedly 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 --- ReadersAttention! Are you satisfied with wong all your life at starvation wages and keeping your nose to the lindstone?
