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

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.

Our property has been sold, but the people are giving us one. This is a rare opportunity to redeem ourselves; so, come one—come all—old let us have a good time together on that day.

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

EAGLE HELD IN HIGH ESTEEM
The following letter from A. P. Alberga who is in the officers training Camp at San Francisco, will give you an idea as to how the Eagle stacks up against the big Eastern Negro Journals.
Now our highest ambition is not only to maintain our present standard but to ever keep improving. And we are glad that friend Alberga appreciates our efforts as indicated by his letter.
Just a few lines to let know that I am well and hope that you and the Wife are likewise. I think that the camp will break, up by the end of the month or by the 12th of September. when I see you, will tell you more than I can write you, things look good. Will see you before I go to Frisco. How is the paper doing and the A. A. L. I have given your paper to the Boys from the East and they have nothing on the Eagle. Attorney Woodson sends his regards to you, well, I will close hoping to hear from you soon I am as ever.

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 morn-
ing service, Joshua 29:15, “As for me
and my house we will serve. the
Lord.” “He aid in part: “Although
we are a part of the social order and
are affected and to some extent in-
fluenced by the environment in which
we live, there are times, there are
conditions in which it is necessary
for us to assert out personal convic-
tions. 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 involyed.”

The presiding elder of this Episco-

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,’ disre-
garding the admonitions and com-
mandments of the stern law giver
Moses. How they worshipped the
golden calf and some of those faith-
ful few, furned 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 mat-
ters not how dark things may seem

Shortly after prayer meeting, Wed-

pastor was invited into the auditori-

and friends. The pastor, so taken was
he, he simply gasped and loked on.
Miss F. C. Petty in fitting words pre-

useful and needed gifts. The pastor
responded as best be could. Then
Rev. Dr. Prowd of the Second Bap-

THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN
BY REV. B. C. ROBESON
Pastor A. M. 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."

WIDESPREAD INTEREST IN NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS
Colored Americans "Brought to Their Feet" by Memphis, E. 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.
"I mean to raise my beets and corn And cabbages," said she; "I've figured up exactly what

The President's answer to the Pope's peace note has, according to the
news from Washington, struck a popular chord and promises to do much
for the ultimate object sought. .
Houston, Texas, should never have been recommended to the War
Department as a rendezvous fer colored troops. They have never quite
forgiven the colored folks for being free in that section of the country.
—Los Angeles Times.
And in the passing of events it is well to consider that the winter
months are slowly but surely coming upon us, and while we here in
California bask in the sunshine of a semi-tropical climate, it is well to
consider that we have our winter problems to solve just the same
The police, in their efforts to enforce the vagrancy laws, should have
the hearty support of all good citizens, and it is to be hoped that they
will hew to the line and play no favorites, and that every man shall do
his bit. These are strenuous times and the chronic vagrant \should
have no quarter.
It is very much regretted on all sides that the unblemished record of
the 24th Infantry has been marred; but those who know of the infamies
heaped upon the eolored soldiers in the Southland can realize the fact
that these men have had to endure taunts and insults which no other set
of men-were ever calied upon to suffer, and can realize that even these
men could not bear the strain forever, and before their trial has been
concluded, we verily believe that these circumstances will jbe shown
to the world, and—pending the same, we would ask a suspension of ~
judgment. And we certainly shall not ‘‘lay down’’ on these men who
have, time after time, gone into the jaws of death for the country and
‘its honor. We will wait. We have an abiding faith that they were
in such extremity of circumstances as to justify them indefending their
very own lives. We say this believing that under ho cireumstances is
mutiny justified, and feeling that, after all, it will be shown there was

HELP THE THINGS WORTH WHILE.
Mr. Bert McDonald, one of our energetic and ambitious young men
who is a student of the University of California, while seeking to gain
an education by diligent effort, has qualified himself as an orator of
signal ability ; he has prepared himself so he ean come before his people
and demonstrate his worth by giving to them’for their consideration in
concrete form the things he has acquired, and in patronizing his benefit
at Wesley Chapel on 7th street, people can be assured that their patron-
age is worth while. His subject will be ““Mastery of the'Situation, A
strong musical program willbe presented and the ‘young man should re-

Do nox forget the date—Friday evening, Sept. 7.
THE MINISTERTAL ALLIANCE WILL BE THE SCENE OF
IMPORTANT HAPPENING NEXT TUESDAY
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 Min=
isters’ 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! co-
operate with the race in a movement to save and to reclaim our way-
ward 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, at
stake; colored girls take their turn in’ the state reformatories just the
same as any other and all peoples of all nationalities (except the color-
ed 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 scoial worker. who is present on

set 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
bit. A great statesman not many years ago stood on the floor of the
U.S. Senate and said in the future “the Negro must tread the wine
press alone,” and it does not take a prophet to see that the time spoken
of is fast approaching. We mist take cognizance of these situations,
we must organize and help in this great moral proposition, by-at-least
operating with those who seek the moral uplift. Else:what are you

Eagle-bas ever stood up in defense of the race. We are against. all
sorts of Jim Crowism, we have stood the test, but we are strong for
the salvation of our young girls and we are calling on our people who
feel as we do to come out and seek this co-operation.
It is not a question, of segregation at all; to those who are so pug-

is plenty for you to do. Great big signs up in public places in Santa

‘Mr. Editor: ‘
Many times while .visiting in Los
JAngeles 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
rath and Central seems to be the
main headquarters for such loafers.
While passing that corner last Sun:
day the following remarks were pass-
ed, “Ah! There she yoes.” “That's
mine.” and “Some class to her.”
Those men knew very well I was no
street-walker, because I neither look-
ed 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.
1 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 stock
holders 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 bis 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 salva-
tion arid that the great" hope for
wealth lay in the vast mineral de-
posits in the practically undeveloped
regions of the country. Mr. Miller’s
talk was listened to with deep at-
tention.
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 te:
marks 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 un-
selfish sacrifice of Mr. and Mrs,
E. B, Patterson, of the recently in-
stalled 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, fol
lowing 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, win-
ners of last Thanksgiving Day Tour-
nament, are out to defend their cup.
‘Then there is Kemp and Al Mat-
thews, 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 Mc
jeal, of Santa Moni¢a, Rainey and
Davis, of Pasgdenz, and..Dr. Robeson
and Prof. Banks. There is also a
team coming up from Riverside, and
last but not least, Eddie Harris and
partner.
|_In the ladies’ singles, since Miss
Fern Calwell has decided not to en-
ter, it will be a difficult task of pick-
ing the winner, as most any of the
players of the fairer sex, like Miss
Young, Josephine Brown, Edna
Broyles, or Miss Harris, afe full of
pep and likely to win.
‘The doubles are slow about enter-
ing. Outside of Peters and Caldwell,
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 dartce at Normandie
Hall. McVea’s Howdy Band will fur-
nish the music, Plenty of refresh-
ments 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, drown-
ed in the Los Angeles river near
Avenue 20, Tuesday afternoon. Swim
ming in 30 feet of water whef@ for-
mer sand pits had filled in, James
Hail found himself sinking and call:
ed 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 Sta-
tion, 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 be-
came hysterical after. identifying the
body of vher 14-yearold son at the
Smith-Williams Company, and was
hurried to her residence at 1615
W. 35th St,
‘Mr. John Hall, am 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 pon 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. 36th St. in the car of Mr, F.
White.
Funeral services will be held at
Wesley Chapel at 2 p. m., Saturday,

Rev. J. M. Riddle State Missionary was in our city Sunday, he spent the forenoon and eveining at the First Street Baptist Church and at 3:p. m. at Mt. Zion Baptist Church. Rev E. Williams give him a good house on short notice. The Cake-Cutting Party given by Dr. A. L. Brown at the parsonage of Mt. Zion was a frand success. The young men's reading room on Gruley street is open every day Books of all kinds can be had.
The delegates from Mt. Zion left for the Association Monday by steamship rout. They had a pleasant sail. But many of the passenger were over come by the sea breeze. Rev. Williams was among the number. Monday evening the delegates arrived in Los Angeles and proceeded to the church where they had a nice service led by Rev. C. Williams and Rev. A. J. Williams. Rev. A. J. Williams preached a noble sermon from Luke 19:10. Subject Jesus's Purpose in the World. Dr. A. F. Brauer entertained the B. Y. P. U. and Sunday School at the parsonage of Mt. Zion at 4:30 P. M. Rev. Riddle was a guest.
Well Mr. Editor; owing to the many things that claimed my attention last week I was to late to get in, as you see. 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. The names are as follows:
Rev. and Mrs. C. Williams, Pastor and wife, of Mt. Zion Church you are requested to look behind the Pulpit and you will there find a supply of groceries donated by the following friends:
Mrs. C. S. Norwood, $1.00; Mrs. W. M. Walker, $1.00; Mrs. E. E. Sheppard, 50c; Mrs. M. A. Hayden, 25c; Mrs. L. A. Jones, 25; Mrs. G. Denny, 15; Mrs. Molan, 25; Mrs. V. L. Goodwin, 5c Mrs. Laura Picou, 20c; Mr. J. H. Griffin, 50; Mr. S. F. Freeman, 50c; Mr. M. A. Hayden, 25; Mr. Geo. Denning, 25; Mr. E. B. Whiteside, $1.40; Mrs. Geo. Lewis, 25c; Mr. Geo Lewis, 25; Mr. M. T. Laws, 25c; Mrs. E. D. Marshall, 10c; Mr. L. C. Curry, 10; Mr. A. L. Brown?
The party given by Mrs. C. E. Norwood for the children at the home of Mrs. V. L. Goodwin was an enjoyable affair for the little ones. The A. M. E. Church and people are rejoyicing at the return of their pastor Rev. Guy. We are also glad for we had learned to love him as a worthy minister of the Gospel. The delegates arriving from Los Angeles report having a nice time and say that Mt. Zion is in the front rank among others and has invited the Association to convene in San Diege in 1918. The daughters of Mrs. G. S. Belt of 719 South 30th St. passed away in Kansas City last week, over which she is much greived. But the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord, Mrs. C. M. McCane and Daughter Miss O. T. Taylor of Imperial who have been spending the summer here left for their home in Imperial Tuesday. Mrs. A. W. Williams also of Imperial left last Saturday. Will the Public schools open Monday. They take many children off of the streets. Mithers aren't you glad

Rev. G. C. Colman of Oakland was the diner guest of Rev. C. Williams Tuesday, and had a trip to Muaco Thursday with friends of this City.
The Grand Lodge of the U. B. F. and the S. M. T. held their annual session in this city this week. A grand program and reception was given them Tuesday at 8 P. M. at the Hall. The many addresses and songs and readings, made known the talent of the Negro in the Golden West. Dr. G. C. Colmen of Oakland was the center of attraction in the crowded hall. The members of the Lodge spent much of their time across the line into Mexico. Dr. A. L. Brown has been given authority to organize a Boy Scout Camp in San Diego. Mrs. Henderson is proving her self to be a true race-woman and is making strenuous efforts to arouse the women of San Diego to organize themselves and make protest against mob and other violence committed against the Negro in the United States. She thinks the salvation of the Negro lieft in his women as it is said, the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. So let us say like the Apostol Paul, "(Help those Women) to bring salivation Dawn."

THE LATE MB8. BIDDIE MASON.
Mrs. Mason was born in Hancock county, Ga., on Aug. 15, 1817. 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.

[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.

Readers Attention
Are you satisfied with working all your life at starvation wages and keeping your nose to the grindstone? Why not seek independence and comfort in life? There are many ways to attain it if you only know how. All you need is an opportunity to get into a legal and honest money-making enterprise on the ground floor and at the right time and you are in the road to success.
This is Your Opportunity-The Chance of Your Life
to join us in the Oil, Land Development Industry—the greatest money-making industry of today. Small investors have made and are still making fabulous profits from oil and oil lands. In many instances small investors have made from $50 to $500 for every dollar invested. You can have the same opportunity if you will accept our cooperation.
This is an opportunity so unique and so remarkable in its profit-earning possibilities that it should awaken the interest of every person to whose attention this announcement comes. It offers an opportunity for you to invest a large or small sum in a sane, clean, economically managed company on a most profitable cooperative profit-sharing basis with all the stock risks illiminated. JUST THINK, $75 in cash or in 15 monthly payments will secure deed to 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.
CERTAINLY, NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER BEEN OF FERED THE PUBLIC BEFORE
