Lincoln and Douglass Day Sunday at the Forum ESTABLISHED 1879 LADING RACE JOURNAL HE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 1594 THAT PATRIOTIC BALL it seems passing strange that in a bee like this, when we are fighting freedom and progress, when we shedding the best blood of the nation to usher in a day of peace and, when we are calling for sacrifice her sacrifice, that the fires of brutality, selfishness and unrightnessiness be banked, that our vision should come so dimmed that we lose sight those forces in whose strength vivis is found. Trying to whip theiser, trying to defeat the devil, we the devil's tool to tight him with to wonder we groan and wait. When patriotism is founded on a extrot it means an omnious day has come. When thrift depends upon one's ing the bumble hung, a sad hour for the nation has arrived. patriotism and thrift are harder virtues than we seem to think. They breathe the a purer nosphere than a dance hall, they well in a loftier sphere. Do you mean to say that with Oldory assailed by toes within and thout the only way my service can gained is by hurting me to some indig under patriotic fraternity. Is possible that when my country is lying for men, strong men, cleanen, to fight and it need to die, that who stay at home am so insensible their and my country needs that co-operation can only be gotten with an opportunity to start on the ink of rum? It is an insult to my patriotism, a travesty upon my sense of duty. There are others in the time ship. Under the cause of thirtieth you ask me to support a dance. At the sirenic all of an unbounded patriotism you ask me to take my sister and bring her into contact with every Team, Rick and Harry will put down city cents in the name of democracy. This is not right. The motive I do not question, but the method is still out of question. I speak for thousands in this city from you have asked to disregard their church vows, which are sacred in the sight of God. I speak for many you tempt to leave the path of Christian duty. We are loyal patriots and anxious to help our country, but not in that way. You have no right to erect a barrier which prohibits our participation in any parity movement. You can slim-to-sheable guess that's right, all you please. I don't. If that is patriotism, I am not patriotic. If that is the royal road to thrift, I would rather put a pendon, and be a spendid thrift. Why couldn't you have a patriotic mass meeting and extend the "Father of our Country" invite all citizens to be present, and then have this and other causes presented in a legitimate way? When our boys come marching home with married limbs and carried bodies, I want it never to be said that my help for them could only be gained through a dance. "I have heard a lot about gunshow leadership recently, and have wondered what it meant. Two or three more of these balls, patriotic balls, and I will understand perfectly Leon, but remember "you are simply ending your influence to uphold the almost truth, if you want to get a crowd of colored folks have a breakdown." Stop rocking the boat of lies, we were book on earth with If Jesus were back on earth with men, He would not preach today. Until He had made Him a scourge and again We would drive the defenders away REV. B. C. ROBESON THEATER OPENS UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT Program to Consist of the Best Feature Films Obtainable The New Angels Theater opened under new management Friday, February 15, with the Fox program. The Fox program consists of Theda Bara, William Farnum, Voleka Surati, George Walsh and other famous stars whose artistic portrayals of the characters of famous plays are too well known to need mention in these columns. The management of the theater assures us that only the finest and best photoplayms with added attractions from time to time will be shown. The show will last from two to two and one-half hours and will commence at 2:30 every afternoon and run continuously until 10:30 at night. The show will be changed entirely every day. We predict a very successful future for the new management. AT BEST The funeral service over the remains of Madame Ella J. Hughley was conducted at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church last Saturday at 1 o'clock p. m., in keeping with the life of the deceased. Musical numbers were rendered by the leading musical talent of the city, who had been closely associated with her. It was indeed a pathetic occasion, in which many heart rending scenes were enacted. Rev. J. D. Gordon of the Tabernacle Baptist Church conducted the exercises, the big Mount Zion Church was filled to its utmost capacity. Mt Zion choir furnished the music, after which Rev. J. C. Anderson offered prayer. The scripture lesson was read by Rev. A. P. Shaw, Prof. C. A. Biggers read the obituary, which disclosed the fact that Madame Hughley was born in Dallas, Tex., Mach I, 1889, of Christian parents, educated at Bishop Colleene at Marshall, Tex. Married in 1911 to David E. Hughley and shortly thereafter came to Los The California Eagle Madame Hughley was best known in the musical world, having exemplified a wonderful talent as a vocalist. She at the age of 7 years gave forth the fact of her talent, which later gained her fame. She excelled in operatic selections. She was trained under some of the leading musicians of the west. Previous to her taking all she had planned to start special training under Signor Constantino, director of the California Temple of Art. Mrs. S. P. Dones rendered a violin solo, Miss Egnae Wilmie, accompanist. "Mr. C. P. Dones read the resolution on behalf of the choir and church. Mrs Johnson read the resolution on behalf of the Auxiliary. Prof W. T Wilkin played, by request of the deceased, a piano solo "Flee as a Bird to your Mountains," with his own arrangement Mrs. Boyd Ford sang a solo. The Harris Sisters Quartette sang "Steal Away to Jesus." Rev E. H. Davis, pastor of Mt. Zion Church, then delivered the funeral eulogy, which was indeed a splendid effort. The pastor had known Madame Hughley for many years, and spoke beautifully of her high Christian character and her unselfish devotion for others. At the conclusion of the sermon, Rev J. D Gordon made some timely remarks of the great service Mrs Hulley was to the community, and the large assemblage were permitted to take the last look at the deceased. The beautiful castle was bid behind a huge box of flowers which had been sent by loving friends. After all had passed the mineral cortex again resumed its magnificent beauty. Conectery where the cervical sadrires were sane, and the body of Madame Hulley was commenced back to Mother Earth. She is survived by her husband and infant child, a sister and father in Texas and a sister in England, who mount her loss. "The sun is on the rolling air, Lilac will be on the waters tran- dition will be on the rising sun Milk in the setting thou art art Milk in shall come be known In the memory of the sermon's aim. The following are the resolutions from Mr Zion Baptist Church and church, read by C. R. Dupas on last Saturday. In the mississippi of life, as we sail on our life's impetuous sea, life trail and treasury, spells from time to time many changes, wrought by Providence. We are all passengers from time to time to eternity, and our life is an armour between two sterilities: we move onward, every now and then one of our fellow comrades, summon by the quick messenger, the angel of death, makes an earlier entrance into that haven of rest, leaving his fellow comrades to mourn his departure, and the glory expresses the sadness of his absence from the rank of human life, our loss, yet heaven's gain. Whereas in the course and trend of human events and in the onward march of the great Christian army, we are Christian comrades, marching and fighting in the Christian army on the earth, sides of life and that from our ranks one of our Christian soldiers and faithful co-workers in the person of our dear sister, Miss Ella J. Hughley has been summoned by the death angel to answer to the toll call in that land of rest where parting is no more and peace passes the understanding to everlasting life. A solitary and sympathetic duty is hereby involved upon us as church co-workers' and choir associates of this our good pastor, Sister Mine Hughley, to express a word in commendation to her work and worth among us, and to wish confidence to her beloved husband, Prather David H. Hughley, who too has been ever faithful and loyal in the performance of Christian duties. We have from time to time been pleasantly and agreeably associated with Sister Hughley, and our Christian association have found her faithful and her works pritable among us. Sister Hughley sing as our leading soprano; and when away from us, absent for any cause, she was greatly missed by the choir by the church and congregation. And now we feel that her constant vacancy in our church can only be filled by the spirit of consolation to know that she has joined the heavenly choir, and is now singing praises to Him that holds the destiny of this our choir and each of us in His hands. In a general review of the works and faithful works of dear Mine Hughley, we catch an inspiration to inspire us to make stronger our endeavor to do our duty in all Christian vocations, whereby we might again, when we are called from labor to reward, join with her in that better world, and sing the great anthems set to the tune of heaven's instruments, directed by Christ Himself. To her dearly beloved husband, we sympathize with and for you; and yet, in our realization that God doeth all things well, we cite you to the Savior. He will comfort those who mourn. Therefore, be it resolved that these our last expressions touching upon the life and death of dear Sister Hughley, be solemnly and sincerely recorded indelibly upon the hearts of each and every one, whereby we may be registered as witnesses to the good life she lived and the safe death she died. San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland D. R. H. Resolved that a copy of these resolutions be filed on the church records; that a copy be sent to the various newspapers of the city; also a copy forwarded to the bereaved family. Respectfully submitted. COMMITTEE: MRS. LOMAN M. ALBRITTON, Chairman. MR. CLAUD V. PITTS. MRS. E. MURRAY. C. A. BIGGERS, Secretary. CHAS. E. DONES. FREDERICK ROLAND W. HAYES OF BOSTON, MASS., IN RECITAL IN LOS ANGELES For a number of years Mr. Roland W. Hayes knows, throughout the length and breadth of this country, as one of the greatest tempers, this century, dedicated the largest congregations and music festivals in Boston and all New England with his melodious voice. Los Angeles and California has been held inward for the coming of Mr. Hayes for a goodly number of years, and a few weeks ago when Someimer Truth Club members announced that they would present Mr. Hayes in recital, Debb Hirth, at Blanchard Hall, great anticipation was at once palpable, among the musical lovers, and other folk of the city and even from Baker-sheld upon this occasion to hear Mr. Hayes. Monday evening, at seven o'clock the ball was comfortably packed and until time-stream of back persons crowded the vestibule committing their ears and fingers with the hope of hearing and seeing the great singer. It was the writers privilege to hear Mr. Hayes some years past, and at that time we considered him the best we had ever heard. On Monday evening, even though the artist did not appear abrupt as we had last seen him, we could detect an change for the worse in his voice. Perhaps the first point of advantage in Mr. Hayes as a true artist is his pleasing and uninteractive personality. His art criticism is good and his toneage melodious, produced a striking soul touch upon his hearters. The two renditions from Italian operas were such fine sympathetic interpretations of the spirit of the Italian people that even though, a very few people present understood the language, all could but appreciate the paths breathed through the song by the singer. Mr. Hayes' selections from Blurleigh's Negro Spirituals and S. Coleridge Taylor, brought down the house in wild applause. Near the close of the program, Mrs. Louise Williams, president of Sojourner Truth Club, appeared on the rostrum leading an elderly sweet-faced little lady whom she in beating terms introduced as the great artist's mother. In acknowledging a basket of fragrant Cecil Bruner roses, presented by the Club, Mrs. Hayes only bowed to the great audience which stood to receive her. Those who assisted Mr. Hayes on the program were: Miss Maymee Wiley Lowe, mezzo-soprano; Owen Troy, violinist, who greatly pleased with three numbers, and Mrs. Estelle Roberts-Saunders, who has long since won her reputation as one of California's best pianists. Mr. Eugene Roberts and two other associates have entered into the Dairy Business in Ensenada and are making remarkable headway. They have more demands for milk than they are able to supply. DIDO THE HERO Dido hastily descended to the room in which the news agents were sleeping, and after a little parlaying, regurned with the keys and a suit of clothes, the property of one of the news boys. Gaining the news stand Dido opened the door and set about changing his sailor's suit for that of the news agent. A wonderful change was made between the appearance of K. DOUGLASS bake the cake, and that of Dido the agent. "My mother trained the young lady on his return, 'You found two remedies, one for the and the other for yourself.'" "My Miss, this preparation takes on according to directions, will cure your nervous headache." "I hope it will make me feel as good as those new clothes make you look, playfully and the little lady." "Not see what a difference clothes make in a night's appearance, 'smilingly be added.'" "But clothes don't make men." "I know they don't but men make clothes and women make trouble about clothes." "Not would inter, sir, that I should not have troubled you for this headache powder, or would you insinuate that I have nothing to do with your clothing?" "Shar be it from me to become an at anything that you might say; I am not well disposed for that; and besides, you have only acted within the province of a woman and that wished. Then an injury would have not to have noticed me or my appearance. The headache powder was not difficult to find; that which I deviously seek, yea, that which my soul wears to know that will be hard to find, and once having found it, its keeping may prove a task beyond me." "My little you are interesting. When have I listened to such deep, intense, pathetic expressions?" continued the young lady. "You speak as one who have grown weary: like unto the reaper who, having grown tired, reposes among the gathered corn. Perhaps you are restive; it may be that you are beginning to think things over; if you are disinterested, if you are tired of the struggle, if the future promises no more than the past, and the present pales at the thoughts of the past and of future, just remember there is a place where you can bury your sorrow; thank God for a garden of love, the heart of a rose, the lift of a song in which we hide our sorrows. "But, little lady," added Dido, "this garden of which you speak, is 'it situated within human reach': is it akin to nature; or, is it simply something romantic, illusive, beyond the limits of real life? Methinks it must be at the brink of a cliff, the edge of a steep, where adventurers are lured only to be hurled from its heights to the fathomless depths below." "Strange! Isn't it?" sweetly whispered the lady. "Strange beyond a doubt, but no more, strange that the fact that you see and I are, here together at this hour, of the night. All other passengers of on board this steamer are asleep. I am growing in the belief that 'truth is stranger than fiction.' Just think! I am up for the same reason that you are; I did not go to bed fearing that something might befall our ship ere morn; you went to bed, but we not sleep, apprehensive of some unforeseen danger. I saw the rats leave our ship tonight, and, according to the superstitious notions of seamen, WILLIAM J. SMITH that's a bad omen. "Ah!" exclaimed the young lady. "I see it. You fear some calamity?" "Yes; Miss, I do," came Dido's reply. "I do also. We must watch and pray. Now, if you will do the watching, I'll do the praying, then whatever befalls our ship, we will have taken hope and consolation in the knowledge that we are not hypocrites, nor are we too presumptuous; for, it must be remembered, that calamity has a wholesome and unifying effect, whether it be the union of two hearts, or the melting of two nations into one, we are forced to accept the consequences. I thank God that it is so. Calamity is God's sythe. Just as the reaper sweeps right and left in his efforts to gather the grain from his fields, even so God wields the sythe of impartial intelligence, and with mathematical precision, separates the sheaves of good from the tares of evil." "You are quite a philosopher," added Dido, who for three minutes stood gazing intently into the face of the young lady, unable to speak or move until she had finished her recitation. "That's neither here nor there with regard to what Captain Jaunka would say should he find you at my door this late hour of night." "There's only one thing that he could do: what would he to fire me, testingly, added Dido. "If he ever discharges you for doing good into others, you tell him you don't want his old job. It's not the right kind of job for you, anyway. My dad could give you a better job than fills." "Who is your father, pray?" "Michael Bradshaw, president of the New York Stock Exchange. His address is 1530 West Thirty-fifth street, New York City, New York." "And what might be your name?" "Why! I must be Miss Bradshaw." "Your given name, I mean." "No, that's not you." Didi leaned over the balcony and discerned the outline of Captain Jaunka as he was mounting the stairs and talking to himself. "Those starvators robbed me of all MARY Little Frances, Curry, Patriotic Genius of the East Ninth St. Public School (Story and picture furnished The California Eagle through the courtesy of Noah D. Thompson of the Editorial Department of the Evening Express and Morning Tribune of Los Angeles—Editor.) Fired by her patriotic zeal to do something for the "Wed Cwass," little Frances Curry, a pupil in the E. Ninth street school, made for her own use a set of knitting needles out of an all-day-sucker stick and a little brown twig from a tree in the school yard. Finding that knitting needles were of little use without yarn and having no money with which to purchase a ball or skein the little patriotic genius hunted up a lot of twine strings and tied them end for end until they resembled the dull gray knitting yarn used by the regular Red Cross knitters. With this rudimentary material she started the all-ab- THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN NUMBER 1 Forum my money. They 'hit me' going, and coming, right and left, and they took it. I'll get even!-Watch me! Dido, fearing that Jaunka might cast his searching glance around for strollers, hastened to hide behind the piano. From there he heard Jaunka swear as he passed: "Iill scale the watery heights of Old Huron tonight, or die in the attempt." Captain Jaunka was five feet in height; he had been in the early part of his life a very strong, stalwart man, but the salt air, winds, rains and storms had beat his robust frame until now it resembles that of a youth. His hair was crisp and red and long; his face that had known every degree of temperature from the Sahara Dessert to the Frozen Hebrides, was as freckled as a speckled wild lily, with bines and wrinkles that seemed to correspond to those on a thermometers. Though sixty years of age, he suffered none of the ills that naturally accompany old age. When only a young man of twenty-five he manned a fishing schooner for one of the fish firms of Glouster, Mass. His education had run neglected, but he had experiences so vast and various that they easily filled the place of an orderly arranged schooling. Jaunka knew nothing of the scientific principles which men employ tb direct the course of a ship on the ocean; geometry was as foreign to him as Latin and Greek. It was only his brute strength and ferocity that enabled him to deify the waters of the deep and to give the devil the dare. He had navigated the principal rivers and lakes of America, and on several occasions had crossed both the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans: but disposition and character Jaunka was true to the type of Caliban: always quick to prescribe punishment for others, but never ready to apologize for wrongs inflicted upon others. To cheat was his delight; he has been known to become brutal to others and many times to inflict wounds upon himself, enraged at being defiled in his attempts to cheat others; evil was his passion; pain, his greatest pleasure; fear, his chief sport, and hate; his greatest moral notion. Jaunka lated his superiors and lived constantly in fear that his inferiors might become his superiors. WILLIAM FRANK sorbing pursuit of knitting a wash cloth for the Red Cross to send to Uncle Sam's boys "somewhere" over there. Upon discovering the zeal and ingenuity of little Frances, Miss Florence Foresburg, her teacher, awarded the little lady with two real knitting needles and a skin of honest to goodness yarn and started her off with a Red Cross pedigree. Other children at the school who show a desire to help the Red Cross will be given knitting needles to use in the place of the hair pins and wire nails which many of them are now using. The boys of the intermediate schools will be taught to make knitting needles in their manual classes and it will be a great accomplishment should every boy and girl learn to either make needles or knit or better still, learn to do both, for little Frances will probably be a dear old "granny" when this nation ceases to feel the effect of the present world conflict.

M 4144 J. SACRAMENTO NEWS One of the prettiest and most attractive affairs given this season, was the birthday and Valentine party presided over by Mrs. T. D. Walker, Wednesday afternoon, to which she asked her guests to bring their sewing and knitting bags. The color scheme chosen was pink and white and was carried out in every detail. The decorations were beautiful, consisting of carnations in baskets and clusters throughout the house. The dining room was a scene of beauty with little cupids flying up and down the window curtains and from the center of the chandelier down over the table which was ladened with dainty refreshments, and had as its centerpiece a huge white cake with two pink hearts on it. Extending from the chandelier were four strings of hearts to each corner of the table, the places were marked with appropriate hand-painted cards. After chatting over the sewing and knitting, Mrs. E. W. Robinson introduced some very interesting and amusing games which were greetly enjoyed. The one finding the greatest number of small hearts, which were hidden about the living room was crowned queen of hearts, this honor tell on Mrs. L. S. Wilson. The one making the greatest number of words from "Valentine" was Mrs. E. W. Gillispie. Her prize being a beautiful valentine, the booby prize went to Mrs. Leo Fletcher. The next was a Valentine which was given for guessing who held an article given secretly by Mrs. Robinson. The winner of this was Mrs. J. W. Scott. Guest prizes were given Mrs. Gillispie and Mrs. L. Fletcher. After the games and music on the Edison, the delicious dainties were enjoyed. Mrs. Robinson in a very pathetic little poem presented her sister with a birthday card that she painted and a lovely string of beads that she made as a birthday token, also a beautiful Morocco address book. Those enjoying this pleasant affair were: Mesdames E. W. Robinson, E. W. Gillispie, L. S. Wilson, G. E. Frances, J. W. Scott, W. E. Declavbrook, U. S. Holland, P. F. O'Reilly, R. J. Fletcher, L. Fletcher of Seattle The Psychological Entertainment at St. Andrew's A. M. E. Church. Thursday evening, proved a rare treat and a grand success. A large attendance was on hand and jilly enjoyed every minute. Much credit is due Mr. Wain Brown, the president of the U.Sers' Club and his co-workers. Miss Alma Longrus of Woodland spent the past week the guest of Mrs. J. W. Scott. Misses Eamie Robinson and Nettie Bryant of Los Angeles, are here employed at the Governor's Mansion. Miss Elizabeth Smith entertained Miss Alma Longrus and Mr. Earl Gray at timeon Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Scouris is host and hostess at a Consolation Whist Party. Friday night, given complimentary to Mrs. L. Fletcher of Seattle, a most delightful evening was spent. The highest score was made by Mrs. Wm. Shaughter, who won first ladies' prize, a beautiful Japanese crum tray Dr R J Fletcher, winner of first gentleman's prize. Mrs. R J Fletcher, ladies booby and Mr W Bass, gentle booby.

She is ending her visit sooner than expected, owing to the news of the illness of her mother in Seattle, where she returns Tuesday. Mrs. Naomi Anderson, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Anderson, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, arrived from the East one day last week and will reside with her parents while her husband is in a training camp in New York.

Allen's Day will be celebrated at the Bethel Church with a big program. This is the greatest day in the African Methodist Church. Keep off the date of Feb. 22nd. There will be a grand program given by the Colridge Taylor Glee Club at the 2nd Baptist Church. There are in Fresno a number of persons who are love sick. What is a good cure? Masters Jack Trulett, Sam Williams, Ben Watkins, Carroll Watkins and Sam Hannibal, made a trip to Bowles, about 12 miles from Fresno, on bicycles. Some of the boys fell in love with some of those beautiful girls in Bowles and wish to make the trip again. Rev. C. P. Jones, the great evangelist who with so much fire and spirit carried on a revival at the Bethel A. M. E. Church some time ago, will start a series of meetings at the A. M. E. Zion Church this week. Some one remarked that they need another reporter for Fresno. I guess they do, but it seems to me that some one would apply for the position because if Fresno does not like the reporter they have now, why they ought to get a new one. Don't you think so? There is plenty of good talent in Fresno, but you can't judge the flavor of the soup by the waiter's thumb, neither can you tell the color of a man's neck tie if it is covered with his beard. Fresno was favored by Rev. McHoea of Flagstaff, Arizona, with two sermons last Sunday the 10th, at the 2nd Baptist Church and a lecture on the needs of a prosecuted Race. The cantata of Joseph under the direction of Madame Davis is progressing wonderfully. Mr. Herbert Bost has been totally exempt in all examinations at the Fresno High School. Mr. Errol Jones is now in fine sprinting order, having joined the Fresno High School track team. Mr. Jones is also a bigler for the High School cadets, being the first and only Colored boy in the two mentioned. The members of the Junior Boys' Club are taking long rides into the country and places of interest in their vicinity. The boys next visit will be to Riverside Park, a summer resort on the San Joaquin River. The bicycle squadron is of the following members: Masters Jack Trueitt, Sam Hannibal, Sam Williams, Carroll and Ben Watkins and Rectford Mitchell. Master Trueitt is president. ```markdown ``` W. E.

AGENTS AND CORRESPONDENTS And now our good friend Nick Chiles takes a whack at our other good friend, Nelson Crews, just because Crews had a live man in his paper as dead; not much to go to war over, but then it is to be remembered that "Nick" does not believe in mineral olisequies until the proper time has arrived. The Eagle has not at any time in its crusade against the untoward and vicious propaganda which has been inimical to the progress of the race had in view the individual. We rather oppose on principle, we have not the time nor inclination to single out any particular person, therefore our efforts are against the propaganda itself, without having in view any particular individual. What we have said in the past-to those who encourage and abet the vicious and irresponsible leadership, still goes and until we eradicate such conditions our progress is materially impeded. Last week we called attention to the fact that a requisite for the upbuilding of our business enterprises, was that each individual should do his part in giving support to our various lines of business efforts. We called the roll on how many of our professional men purchased their shoes at a store conducted by their fellow members. This week we are calling the roll on all classes and we are including in our lists all of the business concerns of Central avenue, the dry goods store, the tailoring establishments, furniture stores, and on those doing full duty toward a reasonable support for such enterprises. Of course we realize that the man who runs the store has a duty to perform. He cannot sit down and whine and expect business simply because he belongs to certain class of people, but on the contrary he must be aggressive and offer inducements, herald the same from the husepsets, he cannot be penurious, he must buy printer's ink and plenty of it, he must be a live one if he is he will get the business. We have as yet never heard of any business succeeding which hid its light as it were, in obscurity. Therefore let's "Get Together" all of us and proceed to help each other. WE MUST PRODUCE Flattering indeed has been the reception of our articles along the line that to hold our own in this country we must become producers, and the more consideration we give this matter the more convinced we are that it is imperative that we become producers of the soil and from the bowels of the earth. Therefore it is with hearty acclaim that we welcome the news of opportunities in the soil. If the Hindu, the Japanese and the Chinese can come to this clime and become producers of the soil, can erect banks, daily papers and huge mercantile establishments, there is no reason why the Negro at home cannot even do better than these aliens. The only reason that he does not is because he shies at the soil, so now with the opportunities before us as they are, now is the time to acquire fertile and productive soil and forever establish a base for future prosperity. Many of our people, have come to these shores with the best intentions, but they made the fatal mistake of resting on their oars in the cities and forsook the soil, they now realize tall buildings, red street cars, had its effect and that was to stunt real growth along mercantile lines. The Japanese colony in Los Angeles as well as the Chinese, has a most pretentious appearance, back of it, my brothers, is the producer, and for us to succeed we must become real producers. The Negro who will frown on any movement for our people to acquire real fertile soil, no matter where it is located, is a stumbling block to our progress. FATHER-SON SUNDAY SOJOURNER. TRUTH ENTER TAINS ROLAND W. HAYES AND MOTHER AT RE- CEPTION All city pastors are requested to observe "Father-Son Sunday," on Sunday, February 17, at the 11 o'clock serviceeis, laying emphasis on the ideal relation between father and son. The national "Father and Son Week" by the international committee of the Young Men's Christian Association has been accepted by Canada and many of the foreign countries, which consequently makes it practically a world-wide program. All pastors are co-operating and announcements will be made next Sunday by them. Friday afternoon, at the beautiful club rooms of Sojourner Truth Home, Mr. Hayes and his mother were entertained at a reception. The home was beautifully decorated in pinks, greenery and flags. Colation was served by the Social Committee. of which Mrs. Dora Gamble was chairman. More than two hundred guests met Mr. Hayes and his mother upon this occasion.

He said the Negro's loyalty to the country could not be questioned, but that he was very very disbal to himself and to his race and challenged anyone present to the contrary.

For two weeks we were engaged in a revival which resulted in great good to the churches and the community. Rev. Dyer and Rev. Johnson are both young men and are strong factors in the church work of Calexico. The Second Baptist church rendered us great service in our efforts at soulsaving and many were blessed. We succeeded in organizing the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Calexico with 14 members, many well wishers. A number of visitors and friends gave us a happy surprise party Monday evening at the residence of Mrs. Allen: It was a surprise The many useful gifts were gladly received; also a nice nurse. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Chism, Mrs. J. McCollum, Mrs. Allen, Mrs. Olivier, Mr. Champion, Mrs. Hozn, Mrs. Williams, Mrs. B. Jackson, Mrs. Lawrence, and others. Thus the evening was spent in a very happy vein. Rev. S. E. Edwards.
