Famous Musician Claims Los Angeles Bride ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 1594 VOLUME 30 MARRIAGE OF MISS ANTOINETTE YOUNG OF THIS CITY TO R. G. JACKSON, DEAN OF THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT OF WESTERN UNIVERSITY, KANSAS, A NOTABLE EVENT On last Sunday evening at 8 o'clock Miss Antonette Young at the residence of her aunt, Mrs. L. Stiles, 2714 Hyans street, was married to Prof. Robert G. Jackson, dean of the music department of Western University, Kansas City, Kansas. It was a notable event and another link in the strong chain which is placing the destiny of two great cities in common touch with each other has been forged. Antonette, one of California's fairest maidens with a highly developed talent in the musical world, had plighted her trot with the greatest musician in the western country and who knows but that in this union means much for the profession in which the hearts of these two eminent proponents are anchored. Certain it is that a vast assemblage of friends wish them all of the happiness and joy that goes with this union. No princess or potentate ever received greater homage than did this couple from the people who have known the bride from childhood and from those who have become acquainted with the groom since his visits began in this city a few years ago, at which time all who met him learned to love and respect him. It was truly a democratic gathering which wended its way to Hyans St. last Sunday evening. They were all happy, they were on their way to Antonett's wedding. No one was stiff or conventional, but they came with best wishes and prosperity for wedding and groom. It was a beautiful wedding and images of the principals both ink high in the musical world, which was a dominating feature of the ceremony. The scene of the ceremony was a garden, the wedding be-performed upon the lawn at rear of the home, and for about 100 feet an archway of flowers and ferns had been built. White canvas was the pathway to the altar and there under M. the mistletoe and the dove and wedding bell, Dr. H. D. Prowd awaited the bridal party, while Mrs. Pearl Lowry Winters (who it is said has acted as fairy godmother to the happy pair) sang in accents sweet and clear, "Because God Made You Mine" and then came the bridesmaids bearing shepherd's crooks followed by the ring bearer and flower girls, and then to the tune of Mendelssohn's Wedding March floating on the breeze, there appeared out of the darkness into the brilliant light of the archway, the bride, who was beautifully gowned in white brocaded satin, crepe meteor, carrying a shower bouquet of roses and as she passed through the archway to the altar it was exclaimed on every hand, "it's not she beautiful!" She wended her way to greet her future husband, who had preceded her just a few moments from the recess, as from nowhere, which represented in fact the growing corn field, came the groom to claim his bride with a happy smile on his face and all declared him looking many years younger. There amidst ferns and roses and the setting heretofore described, the ceremony itself was solemnized while Miss Susie Anderson played softly "A Perfect Day." After salutation by the pastor and the bridal party, the bridal party faced the guests assembled and listened to the sweet baritone song, "I Promise You" sung by Mr. Thomas L. Johnson, recently of Detroit, Mich, after which to the strains of a sweet The California Eagle melody the bridal party returned to the dining hall and there amidst a profusion of roses, carnations and golden rods, they were seated at the festal board, and there received the congratulations of their many friends. After all had been served the bride's bouquet was thrown and notwithstanding the determination of many other to catch it, it was caught by Miss Gladys Owens. The bride and groom quietly slipped away and soon everyone was asking where they were, but they were speeding away in Attorney Darden's high powered machine to the solitude of some cozy dell where the world was shut out with just sheer and he. Prof. R. G. Jackson, dean of the musical department of Western University had claimed his very own "Minnehaha," and these two declaring they will never forget Mrs. C. Hurlbert who had invited them to take prominent parts in the "Wedding Feast of Hiawatha" where they first met. The following served in the bridal party. Miss Alice Reed, maid of honor; Miss Ida Davis and Miss Ruth Patterson, bridesmaids; little Melvin Griffin, ring bearer; Luana K. Martinezand Ernestine Ward, Miss Susie Anderson played for the wedding ceremony, assisted by Miss Gwendolin Baker on the violin and Miss Lorenzo Jordan played accompaniment of Mr. Thos. L. Johnson. Mr. Elmer Bartlett was best man to the groom. C. Hobbs was the decorator for the occasion. The presents and greetings to the bride were many and beautiful and the following is a list of the gifts and their donors: Telegrams of congratulation received during the day by the happy couple from afar were from Miss Myrtle Anderson, Chicago; Miss Birdie Jackson, Kansas City; Miss Arlaine Jackson, Kansas City; Mrs. T. B. Watkins, Allen Chapel choir, Kansas City, Mo.; Mr. A. Brey Felton, Kansas City, Kans.; Rev. and Mrs. Lewis Sheaf of Washington; D. C.; Mr. and San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, SEPTEMBER 1, 1917 Mrs. A. L. Coleman of Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Jackson, Lexington, Ky.; Rev. F. J. Peck, Topeka, Kas. ELDORADO GOLD STAR MINING COMPANY HOLD ANNUAL MEETING OF ITS STOCKHOLDERS AT ODD FELLOWS HALL LALL TUESDAY ELECT BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE ENSUING YEAR On last Tuesday the large hall of the Odd Fellows corner of 8th and Wall street, was filled to its capacity with stock holders of the Eldorado Gold Star Mining Company, who had come together in their annual meeting for the purpose of hearing the reports of their officers and to elect a board of directors which is an annual event, they were there from the smallest stockholder to those holding thousands of shares all interested in the progress of the work of the company, and despite the discouragements and the fact that their prior realization for success had failed, they after hearing the report of the secretary and of Mr. S. J. Brown, the company's manager, expressed an abiding faith in an ultimate and magnificent success of their efforts aside from the secretary's report showing the true condition of the affairs of the company was the message of Mr. Brown who had just arrived from the mines.

Manager Gives Report That Absolutely Lately Has High- High- Hope, of Success est hopes of success After stating the general conditions of the properties and the machinery at the mines, explaining the failure of the machinery to work out the low grade ore, he told of the latest discovery of high grade ore in great quantities at the second level in the Silver Legion mine at 122 feet and exhibited the ore. This ore if found in any company with hteir ore listed on the stock market would cause the shares to double in value, hence the shareholders of the Eldorado company feel assured of their permanent success as in reality since this latest discovery as the work proceeds there is every reason to believe that this great ore body of shipable ore will steadily increase. To show the confidence of the stockholders present, hundreds of shares were purchased that the work for its extraction and shipping may go speedily on, arrangements are to made at once for the same. New Directors Elected The following directors were elected to serve for the ensuing year: George W. Shields, Joseph J. Bunch, G. P. Isaacs, J. W. Lewis, L. K. Roberts, S. J. Brown, C. G. Dunscomb, Howard Folke, Walter, Peery, Willis Storrs and Andrew Hayman! Mr. N. G. Pitts, who has been one of the pioneers in this great effort and served as its president for the past seven years, announced that he would have to ask that he be relieved of that office, but that his service could ever be depended on on be- half of the company, and that he would contrive to serve in an advisory capacity. r. J. H. Young, also on account of his health, could not serve on the directorate for the incoming year. Report of Secretary Howard Folke to the Stockholders Since the last annual meeting of this company, held in 1916, the happenings as relate to its affairs, and general conditions have been most eventful.

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC RE RECITAL AT INDEPEND- ENT CHURCH A MAG- NIFICENT SUCCESS Mr. J. J. Joseph's first effort as an impressario was a magnificent success, as on Thursday evening a capacity house greeted his all star performance, which included the best talent in the city, features of the strong program were the playing of Miss Jordan, the singing of Mr. Hanley, Mrs. Kelso, the quarrel between Brutus and Cassius from Shakespeare by Webb, King and Mr. Joseph, Miss Ida Maddison, who was featured for the occasion made good with the audience and was compelled to respond to an encore as well as was Mr. Hanley and Mrs. Kelso. Mr. Joseph is to be congratulated upon the splendid galaxy of talent he assembled and is deserving of the success attained, the only improvement we could suggest is that programs should have been provided for the patrons. ORGAN RECITAL GIVEN BY.PROF. R. G. JACKSON A Magnificent Success. The organ recital given by Prof. R. G. Jackson, dean of the musical department of Western University, assisted by some of our best local talent and Mrs. Pearl Lowery Winters of Bakersfield, was not only a magnificent success, but a musical treat as well, and the vast audience hanging on to the very last strain from the great organ at the historic 8th and Towne avenue Church on last Tuesday evening. Among the number, the unannounced appearance of Mrs. Antoinette Young Jackson was a welcome one, and the vast audience was lifted up as she sang while her husband accompanied her on the organ. She was compelled to respond to an encore. All of the numbers were well received, especially Mrs. Pearl Lowery Winters, Mrs. C. Hunter Lewis, and the "Mareche de Concert" by Prof. Jackson at the organ and Miss Lorenza Jcrdani at the piano were the strong features of the evening. Mr. Eggleson's trombone solo was appreciated most highly, and Mrs. Dones and Mrs. Mitchell in a violin duet were received with high favor. Prof. Jackson seemed inspired, and his playing of the various numbers on the program was received with thunderous applause by the vast audience; thus showing their THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN NUMBER 29 s Bride EAGLE HELD IN HIGH ESTEEM The following letter from A.

The metropolitan choir was in its usual place on time and sang more sweetly than ever. Mrs. Pearl Lowry Winters inspired the thronging congregation with her soul stirring solo. The pastor delivered both sermons and there was one accession to membership. The offering of the day was very good, while the Sunday School and Endeavor Society assemblies started out with an enthusiasm that presages the dawn of a new era with greater results in the future than at any time heretofore. Many distinguished visitors were present and introduced. Prominent among these was Prof Robert A. Jackson, head of the music department, Western University, Kansas City, Kansas.

At 11 a.m., the Pastor preached the annual sermon of the Wesley Chapel Benevolent Society, using as a text, Luke 10:35, "Take care of him, and whatsoever thou spendest more, I when I come back again will repay thee." At 7:45 p.m., the pastor preached a special sermon on "Negro Business in Los Angeles and How to Improve It." This sermon was full of helpful practical suggestions and received very many favorable comments by those who heard it. This Sunday will be observed as Labor Sunday. At 11 a.m., the pastor's subject will be "Working With the Heart." There is a secret of successful labor in this sermon that every working man or woman should know. Don't fail to hear it.

The loss will be to the persons who fail to hear them. Communion at each service Sunday. Let us have over 300 communi- nents. Do not be a church slacker. Visitors and strangers welcome. Special music by the choir. Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church All the services at this church on last Sunday were unusually good in point of interest and attendance. The pastor chose for his text at the morning service, Joshua 29:15. "As for me and my house we will serve the Lord." He said in part: "Although we are a part of the social order and are affected and to some extent influenced by the environment in which we live, there are times, there are conditions in which it is necessary for us to assert out personal convictions, even thou theyp do not accord with that of those with whom we are associated. Joshua was surrounded with an idol worshipping people, whom he would turn to the worship of the true God, but having pleaded with them, whether they turned or not, he could say, 'As for me.' Let us have the courage to stand alone if necessary when a principle of right is involved." Communion services morning and evening on next Sunday. All are invited. People's Independent Church of Christ 18th and Paloma Sts. Rev. N. P. Greggs, Pastor Services at this church last Sunday were up to the usual high standard. At the morning session Rev. J. M. Riddle delivered an edifying sermon on the subject, "Christian Religion and Service." In the evening a very inspiring sermon was delivered by Brother Emanuel Hall. Both services were well attended and those present were wonderfully blessed. On Tuesday evening a farewell reception was tendered Mrs. Louvenia Hickman Kaigler, under the auspices of the Young Peoples Advancement Club. All members and friends of the church regret very much the loss of this worthy, zealous and faithful young woman, Mr. and Mrs. Kaigler will leave for Portland, Oregon, Monday, Sept. 3, 1917. First A. M. E. Zion Church Pico and Paloma Sta. Rev. B. E. Robeson, Pastor The presiding elder of this Episcopal dioeus occupied the pulpit last Sunday morning. He chose for his text. "Who is on the Lord's Side?" found in the book of Exodus. He dwelt on the sins of the children of Israel, who after coming into the wilderness, became so wicked, disregarding the admonitions and commandments of the stern law giver Moses. How they worshipped the golden calf and some of those faithful few, turned about for a true and tried leader and they found one in the person of Joshua, the Levite, he who in these never to be forgotten words, said. "As for me and my house we will serve the Lord." Showing and proving that in every crisis, it matters not how dark things may seem there is always a "remnant" left of those who are ever on the Lord's side. There was a good crowd out and two accessions to the church, both were baptized Sunday evening. Last quarterly conference was Monday evening. Rev. W. M. Matthews presiding. A splendid report was the order of the conference for the quarter ending. Too late for last week's publication was the account of the surprise tendered Rev. B. C. Robeson, the pastor, by Miss F. C. Petty and others. Shortly after prayer meeting, Wednesday evening, in the vestry, the pastor was invited into the auditorium amid a large galaxy of members and friends. The pastor, so taken was he, he simply gasped and loked on Miss F. C. Petty in fitting words presented him a purse and many other useful and needed gifts. The pastor responded as best be could. Then Rev. Dr. Prowd of the Second Baptist Church, spoke and Mr. J. C. Banks also made a few remarks after which refreshments were served amid an atmosphere of joviality and good will. The pastor's text will be next Sunday at 11 a.m., "A Tribute to Woman." Bishop L. W. Kyles, of the Dioese, will preach Sunday, Sept. 9th, at 3 p.m. service. All are invited.

Zion Church NO. II. By "created necessity" I mean the reasons often given for the neglect of home life and its joys. The conditions among our people are alarming. Seven out of ten homes are deserted during the day, or left that such might as well obtain. Call it what you will—economic necessity, the high cost of living, or what not—whatever condition calls for the neglect of the home life, for mothers to forsake their children and let the streets bring them up, is to be deplored. It is time that we stop and think. We are robbing of that which money cannot buy nor honor bring—we are taking away from our own life. Every man needs a home, a haven of rest—a place where, after the day's weary toil, he can come and find sunshine and consolation. Very little of this will you find when both husband and wife are struggling the livelong day. She comes in cranky, and so does he; she is tired, and so is he; neither can stand much and neither will take much—and, consequently, out goes, the man, and no communion is held. The children are neglected and suffer for instruction, companionship and friendship; you are never far from a divorce and always stand on a platform that is shaky. For myself, I want no such home. After my day's toil with the world and men, I want to be shut in from its worries and cares. Around an altar of love, peace and joy I want to bask in the sunshine of a contented companion's smiles —there, together, do I anticipate the solving of many serious problems, and be prepared to heal many a wound. I would rather sweat great drops of blood and crack my knuckles in the deepest of grief; I would rather live on the plainest and coarsest of food and deny myself the luxuries of life; I would rather live in a little hut by the side of the road, with my family gathered about me, than to dwell in a mansion while my companion worked her very life out—and almost to no avail. "The body is more than meat and the soul is more than raiment." The los of home, ideal companship, sweet communion, can never be regained. Turn a deaf ear to my cries if you will, look not at the signboard of warning if you please; but, remember—"Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."

St. Louis, and Chester Outrages—Local Equal Rights Committees Being formed. Special.) Boston, Mass., Aug. 23, 1917—That the Colored people of the country have been "brought to their feet" by the Memphis lynch, East St. Louis massacre and Chester riots, is shown by the instant interest taken in the call issued for a "Speedy Getting Together" at New York by Rev. Byron Gunner. President of the National Equal Rights League. Already President Gunner has received word from representatives in a dozen different states who will attend the 10th annual meeting of the League and 2nd Annual Race Congress under the League's auspices, which will be held 3 days, September 18, 19 and 20, in Mother Zion church, W. 136th street, New York City. Colored newspapers all over the country are announcing this National Colored Equal Rights Convention in their columns, and the editors are working with success for the formation of local "Equal Rights Committees" that are to send delegates. The "Call" has been given such wide publicity, the invitation being open to every organization as well as the Equal Rights League, the oppressed in every country in the civilized world have met as a group and put forth their case and their demand, except we Colored Americans, thoughtful citizens everywhere see that the race will be judged by the attendance at this National Race Congress. Every community that has not already formed a Citizens' Equal Rights Committee to send delegates is urged to do so. Three full weeks remain in which to do so. The last Race Congress brought men and women of all factions and all organizations together and increased co-operation. It is ten times as critical now for the race as then. Pres. Byron Gunner, of Hillburn, N. Y., and Cor. Secretary Wm. Monroe Trotter of 34 Cornhill, Boston, are receiving many letters in the convention and will answer all inquiries.

We are taking this means to communicate with the colored people of this city who stand for the progress of their race and who stand for humanity's cause to tell them to be present at the meeting of the Ministers' Alliance at the Y. M. C. A. on next Tuesday morning and see to it that a proper reply is sent to the parties who have sought to cooperate with the race in a movement to save and to reclaim our wayward girls. We are not speaking to those who would make political capital or to those with selfish motives, but the people who are really interested in the welfare, the uplift, the things worth while, to such as these and these only do we address ourselves, the fear of segregation cuts no ice in this affair, there is no such issue as we understand it, stake; colored girls take their turn in the state reformatories just the same as any other and all peoples of all nationalities (except the colored people) in this city are doing their bit toward helping these girls when they come out of these institutions and many times they are able to save them from going into them. And now here comes an eminent social worker, who is present on almost all occasions, sees the misery, the utter hopelessness of scores of our young girls. She realizes this people has not had the chance that the Anglo Saxon has, she proffers her hand, volunteers her expeset up the cry of segregation. Now as a matter of fact we must do our rience toward the solution of the problem, and there are those who set up the cry of segregation. Now as a matter of fact, we must do our hit to the state staff, make them stood on the floor of the U. S. Senate and said in the future "the Negro is wine press alone," and it does not take a prophet to see that the time spoken of is fast approaching. We must take cognizance of these situations, we must organize and help in this great moral proposition at least operating with those who seek the moral uplift. Else what are you going to do, let these young women perish, many of whom can usually saved, we say no, forget segregation, save a precious so Eagle has ever stood up in defense of the race. We are agents of Jim Crowism, we have stood the test, but we are still the salvation of our young girls and we are calling on our people feel as we do to come out and seek this co-operation.

The Harris Female Quartette COMPLAINS OF COLORED CEN TER 12th AND CENTRAL AVENUE Many times while visiting in Los Angeles have I passed a crowd of ill-bred colored men who make it their buisness to make remarks about all girls and ladies passing by; and 12th and Central seems to be the main headquarters for such loafers. While passing that corner last Sunday the following remarks were passed, "Ah! There she goes." "That's mine." and "Some class to her." Those men knew very well I was no street-walker, because I neither looked nor grinned at any of them. If the colored men do not respect their own respectable laides then how can they expect other races to do so. I would suggest that each loafer start from to day to be a gentleman, thereby being a credit to himself and to the race. JESSIE KINSY, Monrovia, Cel. The public, as well as the stockholders of the Comobabi Mining Co., have been privileged this week in having two opportunities for hearing Mr. G. W. Miller, president of the company, the man who has endured hardships and privations for years in order to make possible the work which is now being done at the mines in Arizona. Mr. Miller was at his best on Sunday, when in the dim light of late afternoon he stood before the Forum and demanded of the people: "What is your Hope?" Referring to the recent horrors in the South, he told the people that they must work out their own salvation and that the great hope for wealth lay in the vast mineral deposits in the practically undeveloped regions of the country. Mr. Miller's talk was listened to with deep attention. Monday evening Mr. Miller was guest of honor at a reception given at the People's Auditorium, 1121 So. Los Angeles St. Attorney Hugh E. MacBeth was master of ceremonies. A few remarks were made by Mr. T. W. Troy and Dr. H. D. Prowd in introducing Pres. Miller, who spoke at length on the work at the mines, the unselfish sacrifice of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Patterson, of the recently installed machinery and the interest of the two high school boys who are studying mining under the direction of himself and Mr. Patterson. Miss Maudetta, Rosemond, S. S. R. S. Stewart, and Owen Troy gave musical numbers on the program, following which refreshments were served. LABOR DAY TENNIS TOURNAMENT There is much enthusiasm over the Tennis Tournament to be given next Monday, Sept. 3, by the West Side Tennis Club. The tournament is to be held at the State Normal School grounds, which has four of the best cement courts in the city. There will be men's doubles, mixed doubles and ladies' singles. When you read a few of the names of players you can see that it will be hotly contested from start to finish. Clarence Brooks and Phil Davis, winners of last Thanksgiving Day Tournament, are out to defend their cup. Then there is Kemp and Al Matthews, of Alpha; Maloney and Ray Matthews, of West Side, who lost in the finals last year; Williams and Williams, Broyle and Tyler, the fat men's champions; Peters and McNeal, of Santa Monica, Rainey and Davis, of Pasadena, and Dr. Rebeson --- on perish, many of whom can be se- cured, or a conscious soul.

In the ladies' singles, since Miss Fern Calwell has decided not to enter, it will be a difficult task of picking the winner, as most any of the players of the fairer sex, like Miss Young, Josephine Brown, Edna Broyles, or Miss Harris, are full of pep and likely to win. The doubles are slow about entering. Outside of Peters and Calwell, winners of last year's cup, we have yet to hear from the rest. The courts are situated at North Vermont near Heliotrope Drive. Take Heliotrope Drive car at 7th and Broadway or Western Ave. Those living on West Side transfer on N. Vermont. After the Tournament there will be a dance at Normandie Hall. McVea's Howdy Band will fill nish the music. Plenty of refreshments on the grounds. The prizes will be presented to the winners at Normandie Hall in the evening by W. O. Tyler and Dr. A. A. Garrot. The heroism of Robert Jackson could not avail and his life was lost also as his chum, James Hall, drowned in the Los Angeles river near Avenue 20, Tuesday afternoon. Swimming in 30 feet of water where former sand pits had filled in, James Hall found himself sinking and called for help. Robert Jackson swam to his aid and struggled with his drowning friend in a vain effort to save him. Those who witnessed it say Robert was free from the grip of James and might have saved himself but heroically continued his efforts of rescue until tired out and sank in the embrace of the larger boy as he went down the last time. Officer Buitt, of the East Side Police Station, reached the edge of the pool as the boys sank, and diving for the bodies brought up that of Robert Jackson, which was hurried to the Receiving Hospital. The body of James Hall was not recovered for some minutes and efforts to revive the unfortunate lads were futile. Tearful scenes were enacted as parents and relatives were notified of the misfortune. Mrs. Jackson became hysterical after identifying the body of her 14-year-old son at the Smith-Williams Company, and was hurried to her residence at 1615 W. 35th St. Mr. John Hall, an uncle of James, was notified at the Hall of Records that an accident had occurred and hastened to the morgue of A. J. Roberts, Sons & Co. He was deeply affected upon finding the body of his nephew. A few minutes afterward arrived a sister, Miss Beulah Hall, whose grief was pathetic. She was carried to the family home at 1584 W. 35th St. in the car of Mr. F. White. Funeral services will be held at Wesley Chapel at 2 p. m., Saturday, Sept. 1.

But beg to be excused as I was in the rush to get them all ready for the Association. The Shepperd was out of town and the sheep were wandering around and upon the day of his arrival the little flock gathered at the fold and was watching the waters to get a glimpes of the boat that would bring him in. About 8:30 P. M. the Steamer Yale landed at the pier and the lamb was soon making its way through the multitudes to find the shepperd after finding them with happy embrace, led them to the little flock that was yet waiting at the fold. Before the leave of the Pastor and wife for the Angel City, part of the flock made themselves very interested about how their Pastor and wife would look on their arrival in the Angel City. Therefore Mr. A. L. Braum J. H. Griffin Mrs. W. M. Walker, Mr. M. Warren presented them with a new suit each. Mrs. E. M. Sheppard a new suit case, and Mrs. C. E. Norwood and Mrs. Molton saw that the wife had spending money. The stay must have been pleasant. Upon their return a number of the flock thought about how they would fair at uone and took them a surprise and laid it behind the altar. Everything that was eatable from a sack of salt up to a breakfast ham. It showed the deep settled and lasting love they had for their pastor. We watched the twinkle of his eye and quiver of his lips, which gave evidence of a great surprise. No sound came from him for a few minutes. It The silence was broken by the word thank you and after examination he foud a note bearing the names of those who donated the great supply of good things to make the Pastor and wife happy in their home.

She came to California in 1852, accompanied by two daughters, Mrs. Hudlerson and the late Mrs. W. H. Washington. She has one grandson in Los Angeles, Mr. Robert C. Owens. She was for many years a member of the M. E. Church. When the A. M. E. Church was organized she thought they needed her assistance more than the M. E. Church, and she joined it, and for nine years she paid the taxes and all expenses on the church property. She was a liberal donater to charitable and Christian institutions and her purse was ever open to the poor. She never turned them away, yet—with all that—she was one of the weaithiest in Los Angeles. She left a fortune to her children, who today own property on Spring street, Los Angeles. Her name should not be forgotten. I believe that on Wednesday, Aug. 15, at 11 a. m., the doors of the great A. M. E. Church should have been opened in honor of her anniversary and a sermon preached from Judges 4:4-13. Such lives the world must reverence As stars in the firmament of Time. And another Death shall be born. And when Death shall have gained th victory Her memory would ever live sublime— A beacon-light of love and usefulness to all we need.

Colored Trade CALIFORNIA EAGLE [Read at Atalla, Ala., May 24, 1917, at S. S. and B. Y. P. U. Convention.] "In the year that King Isaiah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple." "Above them stood the seraphims; each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto another and said, 'Holy, holy, is the Lord of Hosts, the whole earth is full of his glory,' and the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried and the house was filled with smoke. Then said I, "Woe is me!—for I am undone. "Because I am a man with unclean lips and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips, for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of Hosts." Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken from the altar with the tongs, and he laid it upon my mouth and said, "Lo, this hath touched thy lips and thy iniquities are taken away, and thy sin purged."—Isaiah 6, 1-8. One afternoon, about 4 o'clock, Isaiah, who was then in early middle life, found himself one of a great crowd of worshipers slowly ascending the temple steps. Together with them he passed the lower platform and still climbed until he stood at the summit, at the beautiful gate of the temple. Standing there he little realized that that afternoon was to be the epocaly moment of his life. But that afternoon was to introduce an altogether new element in his life work. Standing there upon that highest step, in the direct line of vision lay first the altar upon which thereafter noon sacrifices were to be made. Beyond it a lower one where priests washed their feet, and beyond that the tall cedar doors that opened upon the holy place, which indeed would have unfolded presently, as Zachariah in after days when he went to offer incense while the people stood without in prayer. On either side stood probably 250 Levites, with the instruments of David in their hands, prepared to sing the psalms which were so famous, and about which their Babylonian captors in after days, said, "Sing us the songs of Zion." As Isaiah sat there wrapped in thought, those who stood nearest him had no idea what was transpiring. But he was swept away from all these sights and sounds; he heard the prayer or chant of the seraphim; and for a moment his whole soul was steeped in the rapture of that vision. But a moment after, he was plunged in the profoundest contrition of soul as he contrasted himself with those who served God with sinless lips, and he cried, "Woe is me, for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips." Partly because after the latter years of Isaiah's reign, in which money and splendor were corrupting the hearts of the people, it was necessary that the leaders, at least men like Isaiah, who stood in the forefront, should be lifted to a higher level. You must understand from the pernicious character of his book how the dwellers of Zion, the men and women of Jerusalem, and indeed all the people, were being corrupted by the sin, the fashions, the wordiness and the money making of their time and how needful it was, therefore, that God should raise a new standard among them, by the hand of Isaiah, who stood closest to him. It may be that in this country, at this time, the very prosperity of your land, the years of peace, the great influx of population and the increase of wealth have been subtly undermining the religious life of your people so that some of your holy customs are being broken down. Perhaps family worship is no longer maintained as it was; the children are no longer trained, as once, in the habits of godliness, the high morals of your people, derived from your noble ancestry, may have been disintergrated while you devoted your energies in other directions than in whole-hearted devotions to God. At such times it is God's habit to call about Himself his Isaiahs, his servants, those who stand nearest to Him, the members of His church, and to lift them up to a new level of Christian living, that from that moment they may be the pivot on which a lever may work to lift the entire nation. But before you and I can become what one should be, there must first be a humbling process; we must be laid low in the dust before God. Just in proportion as we are prepared to descend will we ascend. Let us get down in the dust before Jesus Christ, our Lord, and let us become convicted and cry: 'Woe is me! For I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips." There is a threefold conviction here of personal unworthiness, of the nearness of God, and of the one method by which the heart of man can be pacified. Oh, Father, may the words of Isaiah's mouth and the meditations of his heart be ours forevermore. Friendship Baptist Church Rev. Tillman was the speaker at the morning service, last Sabbath. In the evening an echo meeting was held affording an opportunity for the pastor and messengers to the convention of the Western Baptist Association to make full and complete reports to the church concerning the business transacted there. Lively sessions of the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. helped to make the services of the day complete. The Missionary Society is being entertained on Friday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Lillian Overr on Glorietta St. Meetings of the Official Board of the Church were held this week. Realizing a need of more social activity among the church members, the Official Board has decided to hold at their own expense a church social at which time every member of the church is invited to come and accept their hospitality. The affair is scheduled for the early part of September. Further notice will announce the date. SCOTT CHAPEL NOTEST Rey. Doctor Johnson who has been transferred to one of the Eastern conferences, preached a very helpful sermon to our people on last Sabbath. This has been a wonderful year for Scott Chapel. She has served the community in a way that makes her one of the great factors for good. She has kept up her current expenses, paid the district superintendent in full and has paid the pastor's salary up to date. Pastor Kinchen says these are the most heroic people he knows of. The pastor of Scott Chapel is paid the same salary that the best Colored churches in Pasadena are paying and furnishes him a good house to live in. Although a number of our members are on their vacation, the work of the church does not lag. Mrs. Levi Mills, the chairman of the music committee is directing the choir in the absence of Mrs. Beavers, who is on her vacation. Next Sabbath is Holy Communion Pastor Kinchen will preach at both services. Metropolitan Church Notes The subject for the pastor's discourse Sunday morning will be "The Covenant Between God and Man," and in the evening, which will be a communion service, he will speak on "Christ's Last Commission." At the B. Y. P. U. service, Mrs. W. H. Hughes will open the discussion on the topic, "A Favorite Hymn," after which the meeting will be opened to the general discussion of the subject. The Social Hall was closed all day Friday, the day of Mrs. Brookes' funeral. Resolutions from the church and the social hall board were sent to the family of Mrs. Brooks. A public memorial is being planned to commemorate her work. DEWDROP INN CAFE 1207 Utah Avenue.

Why not seek independence and comfort in life? There are many ways to attain it if you only know how. All you need is an opportunity to get into a legal and honest money-making enterprise on the ground floor and at the right time and you are in the road to success. This is Your Opportunity-The Chance of Your Life to join us in the Oil, Land Development Industry—the greatest money-making industry of today. Small investors have made and are still making fabulous profits from oil and oil lands. In many instances small investors have made from $50 to $500 for every dollar invested. You can have the same opportunity if you will accept our cooperation. This is an opportunity so unique and so remarkable in its profit-earning possibilities that it should awaken the interest of every person to whose attention this announcement comes. It offers an opportunity for you to invest a large or small sum in a sane, clean, economically managed company on a most profitable cooperative profit-sharing basis with all the stock risks illiminated. JUST THINK, $75 in cash or in 15 monthly payments will secure deed to eight large of lots and an interest in all the oil out of four or more wells, to be drilled under our liberal cooperative profit-sharing plan, giving each investor a chance to secure a LARGE MONTHLY INCOME from the oil as well as from the land, being situated in the center of three large oil fields in Hardin County, Texas. Said fields produced more than 10,000,000 barrels of oil in 1914-15, and more than 50 gushers, from 1,000 to 10,000 barrels came in during that time. Single lots in the fields near by have been sold for $1,000 to $15,000. Our investor will have the same chance, after we have brought in one or two wells to sell their land for just as much or more. We have only one thousand shares in all, (each share consists of eight lots, being one-fourth of an acre,) therefore the profit for each share will be large. The following illustration will show the profit each investor will receive out of a certain number of barrels at the present price of oil: Should our first well prove to be a 5,000 barrel producer, then each share of sight lots will receive $150 a month and should the first four wells produce 20,000 barrels, then each share of eight lots will receive $600 a month.
