Cut shows one-third of ranch. --- ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE PICO .28 VOLUME 31 Launch Big Dr Los Angeles Citizens Head Movement to THE LOWER CALIFORNIA MEXICAN LAND AND DEVELOPMENT COMPANY The above caption is the title of the corporation which to our mind offers the real solution to the future progress of a people who have heretofore neglected to grasp the opportunities at hand, to the end that in this great and fertile country of Southern California they have not become producers instead of mere consumers. And now this company, with a far-seeing vision, has delved deep and sure and presents a marvelous opportunity for the Negroes of this country to procure the richest land possible, easily within their reach from a financial standpoint, and at a distance Vallecitos Ranch - Last year's crop from this ranch sol of less than 200 miles from Los Angeles. Successful Men at Head. The personnel of this company ranks high for honesty, integrity, and successful business management. The president, Mr. Theodore W. Troy, is one of the most successful business men of Los Angeles and having made a success himself is eminently qualified to take the lead in this great movement. We appreciate most highly our men, who, because they have been successful, do not lay down on the job, but are ever up and doing for the uplift and advancement of their fellowmen. Likewise, the other officials of the company are the highest type of our citizenship and whose honesty no man will for one moment question. They are: A. J. Roberts, vice president; Elmer Waller, treasurer; Hugh E. Macbeth, secretary; R. W. Head, Louis Bryant, and J. N. Littlejohn, directors. The Land. The land proposed at this time consists of what is known in Lower California as the Santa Clara and Vallecitos ranches, consisting of an acreage of more than 21,000 acres, which is more than eight miles across, the parcels offered for sale are all even now under cultivation. The minimum tract will be five acres, the price of which is $20 per acre. The same land in Southern California would cost from $200 to $300 per acre. This land is approximately 180 miles from Los Angeles and 55 miles from San Diego and 37 miles from Ensenada, in Lower California thus assuring a nearby market at all times for the products from these lands. Santa Clara Ran Water in abundance is on these lands from four to 35 feet. There is a natural underflow in this great valley, numerous springs abound on these properties. The illustration accompanying this article is an object lesson of the water problem, where a shallow well with four feet of water quenches the thirst of more than 100 head of horses. Products. The land produces profusely wheat, barley, corn, potatoes, oranges, lemons, walnuts, fruits of all kinds, in fact everything Southern California grows, cattle, hogs, goats, etc. THE RINCON VALLEY Wild game, deer, rabbits, quail, doves, wild ducks, and mountain sheep abound. Fish of all sorts in the waters of the Pacific on the west and on the Gulf side lobsters, clams, oysters, all in twice the abundance of Southern California. Where else within a radius of 181 miles of Los Angeles can you buy tillable, water-bearing land at $20 per acre, and espe- San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, MARCH 30, 1918. Drive For Lower C to Become Producers and Real Factors in sically within 55 miles of a market as large as San Diego and 37 miles from the town and bay of Ensenada. This is the chance for a man or woman who wants independence, who wants to be the SOVEREIGN OF HIS OWN LABOR, WHO WANTS TO BE REALLY FREE! Five, 10, 15, 20, or 40 acres of this land is within the reach of any man at the low price of $20 per acre. Propositions. The company proposes to put all land under cultivation until taken up by the owners. They also propose to put in incubators for chicken raising, nursery, hogs, horses, dairy, store, and all things necessary to fully develop these lands and to let settlers sold for $57,502.80. 4,000 acres are now planted to wheat. Cut shows SCENE AT ENSENADA AFTER PAPERS WERE SIGNED have these things at as near cost as possible. They expect to make these ranches the show places of the Pacific Coast. anch—Noted for its choice meadow lands as a cattle ranch. At present What the Russians Are Doing in This Section Journeying from Russia, a colony of these people was established a few years ago just 18 miles south of this property, and the very first crop which they planted over paid for their land, and now the Russians are the farmers de luxe of Lower California. Their lands are principally planted to wheat, and they are yearly expanding their colony by buying lands adjoining. The Vallecitos ranch is at present leased by the Russians. A W. LL ON VALLECITOS RANCH and about 4000 acres planted to wheat. Their lease, expires in August. Last year the owner of the Vallecitos ranch received $9583.95 as his one sixth of the wheat yield from this ranch. These statements are a matter of record and are recited to show the exceptional opportunity offered the Colored people. It is estimated that outside of the tillable land 5000 head of cattle can be raised on the grazing lands, which the year around has a luxuriant growth of grass. Raw land costs in excess of $20 per acre to clear and prepare for cultivation. This land now offered is ALREADY UNDER CULTIVATION. NUMBER 7 Here are some of the prices quoted at Ensenada last week for produce: Lard, $1.00 per kilo (a kilo is 2½ lbs.); butter, $1.00 per pound; bacon, 80 cents per pound; other produce in proportion. And now this company has demonstrated its faith in this proposition from its personal investigation. They have spared neither pains nor expense to convince themselves; they have made a thorough investigation of titles and absolutely guarantee the same. The titles to these properties come from an original UNCONDITIONAL Mexican land grant and is the best title that can be made, even better than Southern California lands, which are from a CONDITIONAL land grant. Our very own attor- one-third of ranch. Pioneers Entering Vallicetos 11: neys have investigated, the Corporation Commissioner of California has investigated, and it has his sanction. And they now present this remarkable opportunity for this people to procure the most fertile land in this country at a price cheaper than that for which they can rent land. WARM SULPHUR SPRINGS ON SANTA CLARA RANCH They will present this proposition to the public at a monster meeting, to be held on next Wednesday evening, at Wesley Chap- t hundreds of horses, hogs and cattle are pastured. REAR VIEW OF SANTA CLARA RANCH HOUSE el, at 8th and San Julian Street, at which time stereopticon views of the scenes in this great country will be put on exhibition, and the land will be put on the market. Truly the dawn of a new day will be at hand. You cannot afford to not procure some of this land. Those who cannot go personally can arrange with the company to have their land tilled. We can help ourselves by becoming producers, our country by producing food in this time of stress, and earn a competence for our families; in short, we can become real producers. This great enterprise also has the sanction of both the American and Mexican officials, both of whom have extended every courtesy to help the company straighten out the many details incident to verifying titles of property etc. One of the accompanying illustrations is a scene on the Mexican side, where the committee of the company were snapped along with the Mexican officials. Good live agents are wanted to wait on the people who are anxious to better their condition. For particulars call on T. W. Troy, 1119 San Pedro Street, Los Angeles, Calif.

THE PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST Palm Sunday was very fittingly observed at the People's Independent church. As a result of the efforts of the Deaconess Board the church was very beautifully and appropriately decorated. At the morning service Pastor Greggs delivered another soul staring sermon in which he very vividly pictured the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. During the day six accessions to membership were made, two of whom were converts. The morning service reached an impressive climax when an announcement was made to the effect that Mr. Alexton Boone, a worthy and faithful young man of this church, would leave Monday, March 25th, in answer to tr country's call to service. He goes to the engineering department. The congregation gave him a collection of $25.00 as a token from this church, and in the afternoon the young people tendered him a grand farewell reception.

WESLEY M. E. CHURCH Sunday was a splendid day at Wesley M. E. church. At 11 am the pastor's Palm Sunday sermon was well received. The evening service was well attended. Judge Farbes' lecture on William Lloyd, Garrison was a masterpiece. Those who failed to hear him missed a rare treat. The sermon to the Eastern Star Chapters by the Rev. Dr. N. P. Gregg of the Independent church was a masterpiece of eloquence and knowledge of the principles and practice of the Order. Two persons came forward for prayer in the morning. One person united with the church at the evening service. Texas is far in the lead in the State Rally. Mississippi and Louisiana are neck and neck in the race for the second place.

At the 11 a.m. service the Rev. Mr. Robinson, a friend of the late pastor gave a most inspiring sermon, and brought us latest news about our people in the south land. At 3 p.m. the edifice was crowded. Our friends—the Knights of Bythias and the Court of Calanthe gathered in full strength for their annual sermon which was appropriately delivered by Dr. Prowd. The text was from Prov. 25:9. Discover not a secret to another. The discourse was admittedly forceful and timely. The choir made a good show ing. Mr. J. D. Groves who gave the welcome address was well received as was also the lady who responded The order in appearance and the carrying out of its program, made a most pleasing impression. Dr. Prowd, the pastor, who is a man of all the fraternities, will gladly welcome all his brethren who desire to have their sermons preached in the old Second church. Mr. John Prowd, president of the B. Y. P. U. urges all the members to be out for a good program Sunday evening. A splendid committee on Easter Decoration has been appointed, and all members having singing birds will lead them to the commit- true. The congregation is advised to be early in their seats.

Glee Club of Pasadena was a very nice success, all enjoyed the boys immensely, and we expect them to come again. The committees are working hard to have the church looking real heat for Easter; our friends may be surprised when they call on us next Sunday.

Peck has been appointed sparrow exterminator by Commissioner of Public Health and Safety G. C. Simmons. Only one exterminator is to be employed at the start, and he will be the only one to whom the bounty of five cents for every sparrow killed will be paid. In this work of ridding the city of the English sparrow, Peck is authorized to use a gun. Simmons says it will be well-for-citizens to notify Peck in writing of the places where sparrows are the thickest. Mrs. W.

Shaughter and Mrs. Jack Smith and sons, Jack and Ted, spent Easter in Marysville, visiting Mr. and Mrs. T. T. Smith; they journeyed to Colusa to attend the Easter dance given Monday night. Mrs. Rebecca Williamson, an old friend of Mrs. W. Conly, was her guest for a few days last week. The Easter services at St. Andrews wer well attended and Mrs. John Slaughter, chorister and director of the splendid program, deserves great credit. The beautiful decorations came from the hands of the well organized Usher's Club, composed of the younger set, an auxiliary to the Church. There was some new musical talent discovered. All "girls" can sing like birds—but there are many kinds of birds. Mrs. Ella Taylor is very much improved and is able to be out again. Although Mr. and Mrs. Oswald Hall have made an announcement in a (white) Stockton paper of the marriage of their daughter. Miss Beatrice Duminec to Edwin M. Thompson, last August, there has been no proof or record shown of any such marriage. His mother has tried to get such proof to satisfy the many intrigued friends of her son, but has failed from all sources. Edwin is not out of it.

CALEXICO By Mrs. E. J. Layne On last Wednesday afternoon, March 27th, this little city was shocked on hearing of the serious accident of Mr. A. R. Lewis, one of our best citizens.

In Memoriam of Mr. A. R. Lewis A voice is hushed, no more we hear, The whispering sound of one so dear. Death with its robe of white has come, And robbed us of a jewel from our town. He was weary and was waiting, his day's work done. He was watching and was waiting for life's setting, sun. he's setting sun. He has laid his life's burden, O! Lord at Thy feet, And has cast his anchor beyond the dark deep. He hath passed death's chilling bill- ows. And entered the sweet haven of rest, Jesus smoothered his dying pillows, O! sweet slumber blest. Dear as thou wert, and O so dear. We could but weep for thee. But one thought shall check the sor- rowing tear. From all cares thou art free. To Mother and Children O! Ye weary, sad and lonely, Never tire and cease to pray. Ye shall join the loved and lost one. In the land of perfect day. Met again when time is over. Angels shall guide thy sleeping dust. Meet again to part no more. When the grave shall yield her trust. Some sweet day when Jesus Calls his jewels from land and sea, He will take them home to glory. What a meeting that will be. With that blessed hope before you, You will met the loved one called away. No, not one will be forgotten In that glad reunion day. Mr. Helen L. Smith and daughter, Miss Anna L. Sims of Seeley, also Mr Albert Sims of Los Angeles, spent Easter Sunday with Mrs E. J.

WHAT'S THE TROUBLE WITH OUR ADJUTANT GENERAL The Eagle can conceive of no reason why Adjutant General Borec cannot give the colored people of California a square deal along military lines, but it seems that so far he has refused to give them any serious consideration whatever. Last year his department urged that the colored men should organize companies and just as soon as it could be done, they would receive recognition by his department, but notwithstanding the fact that several companies have been organized, nothing has come from this department in the way of state recognition except some sort of recognition on paper of some home guard in Pasadena, which company has had to hustle even for their own clothes, guns and other equipment. Now as a matter of fact we are informed that it is within the province of the adjutant general to give relief to our colored boys who have waited so patiently and we hope that he will give this delayed recognition. We cannot conceive why if he is authorized to muster in companies in any number he cannot at least designate a company for the colored soldiers in this state. If not, why not? History of First A. M.

I have been asked to tell how I found the church. The best I can do is to begin to tell you how I found the church 25 years ago. I will preface my remarks with a word about our Conference which preceded my advent here. The month of August, in the year 1893, was an eventful one in the annals of African Methodism on the Pacific Coast. The 29th Annual Conference was held at Marysville, August 9 to 13, and was visited by two distinguished prelates, Bishop B. F. Lee, the Presiding Bishop, and Bishop A. Handy, also, a prospective Bishop in the person of Dr. L. J. Coppin, and an aspirant for Financial Secretary, Dr. Phillip A. Hubbard. Both reached the goal to which they aspired. Bishop Coppin is at present serving the Fourth Episcopal District. Dr. Hubbard passed from the financial chair to his final reward many years ago. The Conference was also graced by the presence of three prominent women, Sister Bishop Handy, Vice President W. M. M. Society; Sister Fannie J. Coppin, noted educator, and Sister Hannah Hubbard. From San Francisco, our former parish, after a few days' delay occasioned by the publication of the Conference minutes, husband, daughter and myself proceeded to Los Angeles, our new charge, arriving Sunday, August 27, about 1 p. m. We went to my mother's home on Azusa Street, near the church. The people were apparently pleased and received us gladly. The membership comprised about 125 persons, including probationers, scattered far and wide over a city noted for its vast area, and its inclination to include in its corporate limits every pebble and stone between the moun- Casting.

The Mortgage Burning and Pioneer Night brought to a fitting close the week of festivities at the great First A. M. E. Church, on last Thursday evening. Realistic indeed were the scenes incident thereto. Seated on the platform were the pioneer colored citizens of Los Angeles. It was a scene never to be forgotten by those who witnessed the same. These old gladiators, who in years past had done their bit in establishing this great church, sat there as witnesses, ready to attest their seal as to the history of the same, which was unfolded with the following program, and good Brother True, although not s fortunate as to be one of the pioneers, was just as interested as if he had been the oldest one there, and with the officers of the church he helped in adding dignity to the affair.

M. E. Church, as it was then known, a potent factor in the religious, moral, educational and civic life of the community. The people were in a receptive frame of mind. They seemed to be hungering and thirsting after righteousness. A revival was started at once. At the first meeting, Sunday evening, Sister Carrie McClane held up her hand for prayer and was converted. A number of others followed and the interest grew until scores were converted and added to the church. The meetings continued for seven weeks with remarkable manifestations of the power of God in the salvation of souls. The church edifice at this time was located on Azusa St., in the business district, was a frame structure of two stories, occupying a lot about 50 feet by 120 feet. A parsonage of seven rooms was in the rear. This property had been purchased several years before, costing about $8000, and was at this time something over $5600 in debt, distributed as follows: $3000 to a Mr. Donegan, $1000 to Rev. J. Allen, $1600 to Sister Polly Smith and numerous small accounts. To maintain the church and lift the burden of debt was no small matter, but the noble people bent themselves to the task, put their shoulders to the wheel and met their obligations promptly until Mr. Donegan was paid in full with interest, and the debt of Sister Polly Smith was settled by the payment to her $1300 in cash. I recall some of the splendid men and women who were active in the church at this time. I will name them as they come to mind, and without comment: Cyrus, Vena, Charles Clarkson, John Banks, John Sanders, Abraham Curtis, B. T. Talbot, Harry Franklin, Charles Parker, J. W. Marsailles, L.

These all, by their sacrifices and labors of love, made it possible for us to be here tonight. I wish I had time to describe the excellent character of many of these noble servants of God and to speak of their worth and achievements in the various walks of life, which they filled so well. Some of the names will not be recognized because they have been changed by marriage since we first found them here engaged in the Master's work. Some have reached the fields Elysian on the other side of Jordan, in the sweet land on Eden, and are at rest with the Lord, singing "Home at Last." Part of the host are still with us and sing as they cast a wistful eye beyond the flood, "When shall I reach that happy place and be forever blest? When shall I see my father's face and in His bosom rest?" I can hear them exultantly say with Job, "All the days of my appointed time will I wait until my change comes. Thou wilt call and I will answer thee." Thus we found them, 25 years ago, thus we find them today—strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. "OUR CHURCH OF TODAY" A. H. Wilson, Trustees and Steward. I came to Los Angeles, California, on the 23rd day of April, 1903. After finding a room, I went direct to the A. M. E. Church on Azusa street. I was directed by Sister Long, who was then living at 129 Vine street. I found a small church; I suppose a little over 300 members. They were at that time fixing to build this church where we now are dwelling. We had a small Sunday School at this time. Bro. Nelson was the Superintendent. I think we had about five or six classes. I don't remember the exact number. The people were working together just fine. I heard the pastor, Rev. J. E. Edwards, give out one Sunday that we would have a ground-breaking on the next Sunday, so we came over and broke the ground and started this grand old building. In November, 1903, we moved into this grand old building. Our congregation was small, because only a few people were in Los Angeles at this time. The church began to grow. After Rev. J. E. Edwards left, Rev. W. H. Peck was appointed to this charge, and he went to work and put in this great pipe organ. He finished his work, then came to us Rev. J. F. Peck, the great pastor of the day. He built up this great choir of ours, which stands as one of the greatest choirs in the United States today.

Palestine Commander No. 1 and St John No. 2, Knight Templars of Los Angeles, California, in company with their band were the honored guests of Augustine Commander No. 5 or San Diego for Easter services, held at Bethel M. A. E. church, Sunday morning at 11 a.m. Rev. B. R. Guy delivered the Easter sermon.

San Diego was expecting to get a large slice of wedding cake on last Thursday, but the bride tainted before the ceremony was performed, so therefore it was postponed to an indelinite date. Mrs. C. E. Norwood was given the first degree in the Mt. Olive Temple No. 6, of the S. M. Lodge, last Thursday. Mr. Jim Griffin left San Diego, Sunday morning to visit relatives and friends in Pasadena and Los Angeles. The Rope Holders Club met at Mr. Harry Halls, on j. Street, Tuesday evening.

On Monday afternoon the six-room cottage, belonging to Mr. Geo. Mull holland on Valle street, was accidentally caught on fire, and was just about completely destroyed. It was insured. The little dog of Mrs. Alma Sims grieved so hard after the baby came into the family that it passed away. The affections had been bestowed upon the little doggy until baby came, and then it ceased, and poor doggy could not understand, so it would not eat anything at all, and died in a very short time. Mrs. Georgiana Williams, who is in the valley, was married to a Mr. Humphrey, about three weeks ago. A surprise party was given on Mrs. Verra Simpson last Saturday night by the Rope Holders and Silver Gate Clubs, as she was to leave for a month's visit in os Angeles. Mrs. Edith Curvin also left for Los Angeles on a brief stay. The Fisk University singers sang at the exposition on Wednesday afternoon. The program was indeed a notable one, composing of songs and readings from Paul Lawrence Dunbar. There were only four in the company, as one died in Los Angeles from ptomaine poisoning, and the body was sent home for burial. A large crowd was there to witness the program. Among those of our Race present were: Miss Blanche Williams, Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Anderson, Mrs. P. E. Robinson, Mrs. C. E. Norwood, Mrs. V. L. Goodwin, Mr. S. Wates and others. The Easter exercises at all of the churches were fine. Easter eggs for every one present was the slogan. The programs wer all good. Mrs. V. L. Goodwin on Easter had a housefull of unexpected guests, but as she is a fluent entertainer, it did not disturb her at all, but prepared for them as though she had expected them all. Mr. and Mrs. G. S. Belt, Mr. and Mrs. L. Knight, Mrs. Birdie Goodwin and her four children, were some of the callers. Mr. Uley and Rev. Tillman of Passadena, were in San Diego, last week on business. Mr. M. T. Laws and Mr. Wm. Purnell, ran into each other with their machines last Sunday, and each one had slight damage done to their car. Mrs. M. J. Davis was among the Los Angeles guests Sunday. Mrs. Thomas did well Sunday in feeding the people from Los Angeles, as it was all unexpected to her, but the dinner she set before them could not be beat. Mrs. C. E. Norwood and Mrs. V. L. Goodwin, on Martin Ave., gave an Easter hunt for the children of Logan Heights on Sunday afternoon. The affair was to be a surprise to the children, and when the signal was given, it really seemed as though children came up out of the ground, there were so many in so short a time on the scene. There were more than 100 eggs hiden, and they were all found in the space of eight minutes, even little Virgine Brown was there and found her hare of eggs. All of the clubs held their meeting on Tuesday evening, after which they all attended the cap and tie social given by the N. B. B. O. O. Club, for the Carpet Club. "Owing to so many meeting in one night the committee thought it wise to get only one gallon of cream, but the crowd was surprising. Nevertheless, it was the N. B. B. O. O. and every thing turned out all right. A nice little sum of $7.55 was made and turned over to the Carpet Club, which also met on that evening and organized. "The name of the Carpet Club was suggested by Mrs. C. Wright, and accepted unanimously by all the members, present. "In God We Trust" Club, Mrs. S. J. Freeman, president; Mrs. C. Wright, treasurer. The Window Club met and named themselves the "Willing Workers" Club." All the clubs are now at work.

The decorations of green and white were artistically arranged by the decorating committee, a very pretty feature being a cross of white lilies and soft green vines. "Christ Has risen" was the motto that greeted each person as they entered. The program was rendered in a manner that brought praise to each participant and especially the little folks, who so willingly did without their Easter favors this year for Hooverism.

So, then, each may, if he be of lowly,mind, see in others certain good” qualities or graces superior to his own, and should delight to recognize these and to esteem their possessor accordingly. Let us realize that the Lord is ever present with his people. He is always thinking of us, lopking out for our interests, guarding is in danger, read- ing our hearts, and harkening to our faintest call for ail or sympathy or fellowship with hinj. He is never for a moment off guarf, whether we call him in the busy nopn hours or in the silent watches of te night - Psalm 27:14 reads: “Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and he shall ‘strengthen, thine heart. Wait L say, on the Lord.” No ‘one can tell who the heroe: are and who the cowards, until some crisis somes to put us to the test and no crisis puts us to the test tha ddes not bring us up alone and sin- gle handed to face danger. It is noth- ing to make a rush with the multitude even into the jaws of ° destruction Sheep will do tHat. But when some crisis singles one out from the mul. titude, pointing at him the particular finger of fate, and tells him, “Stan¢ or run,” and he faces about with steady nerve, standing up for what he believes it right before God, we may ‘be sure that God will stand with him We have enlisted in this army until death, and how important it is that all the soldiers realize this, and that there is no room for even’ consider- ing any suggestion to withdraw from the battle'and cease even for an hour to fight the good fight of faitth. Let all’ who would run the race success- fully look well to thir zeal and activ- ity in the Lord’s work. If we bury our one or many talents under a weight of worldly cares, then as un- faithful servants we will sooner or later go into outer darkness. Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your hearts,’ all ye that hope in the Lord, It seems as though the adversaary at times attempts to discourage us by making us think that the trials and difficulties of the “narrow way” are unavailing; and that we might as well give up. But take on fresh courage, and follow the example of our Lord, and seek the Father's face, anxious to know wheth- er or not our interests are all right with him, anxious for’some assurance that while the world may hate us and say all manner of evil against us falsely, we still have his approval. Why, then, should) we fear what man may do unto us, or be distressed in regard to the Lord’s work, as though Satan or any other eyil power could prevail against it? Therefore, {we are to proceed in the Lord’s work «as though the entire responsibility rested upon us, but in our hearts are t recognize that the entire weight and responsibility rests with the Lord. What may be the character of the temptations, we may not clearly dis- cern until they are upon us; for if we knew all about them in advance they would be but , slight temptations.

Phone South 2820-M. 830 Ea'st Jefferson St. Los Angeles, Ca | So, as Christians, let us not forget to go to God for strength, and-more faith to serve him. And as everyone who follows the master's footsteps must need have some Gethsemane ex- periences, so also cach must have a taste at least ot all the master's ex- periences. Jet ds not forgety then, to look about us for opportunitices ior serving one another, as Christians: let each be careful not to add to the reproaches that must fall upon all the followers of Christ, but on the con- trary to offer words of sympathy, and to help bear each others crass, diffi- culties and trials by the way. | Thus can’ we best show to our Lord how we would ,have appreciated the ‘op- Portunity—oi helping him bear his cross on the way to aClvary. If any man desire honor from God let him not fail to seck it in God's appointed way—along the pathway of humility —for the Lord giveth his favors to the humble. - The call of the church in the pres- ent time is to let the light shine, and thus attract persecution, and to en- dure the persecution, for righteous- ness sake, and to be rightly exercised by it in. patience, brotherly’ kindness, pity: and love, towards the persecut- ors and towaard all men. Let all, then, who see the prize, and who see the light of God’s glory shining in the face of Jesus Christ our Lord, be faithful to the Father's service. Be ‘mot discouraged, . whether. nien hear. or whether they forbear, whether they think ill of us. or whether they, speak ill of us; let us remember that oun report, at the end of the trial, is to be rendered to the Lord himself, when: he is making up his jewels. Th-re is’ nothing that puts the Christian at greater disadvantage in the presence of his foes than for him to let go, even temporarily, his grip upon the anchor of faith. Tet him do so for a moment, and of necessity darkness begins to gather round him; he can- not ‘see the brightness of his Fath: er's face, for “without faith it is im= possible to’ please God.” And while he grapples again for the anahor, the powers of darkness fiercely assail’ him with doubts and fears. If we would have the peace of God reign in. our hearts, we must never let go our an- chor, “nor suffer Satan's deadliest strife to beat our courage down.” The language of our hearts should always be, “Though he slay me, yet will I trust him.” The men and women that are lifting the world upward and onward are those who encourage moré than eriticise. see | Chas.
