California Eagle

Every Woman Should Show Her Colors By Marching in the Red Cross Parade This Afternoon ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE PICO 328 VOLUME 31 Every By N FOR THE RED CROSS The mighty drive for the Red Cross will begin with a monster parade today, in which all the people will be profusely represented W. H. Saunders, who is in charge of a large part of the district joining and including Central Ave, has been tirelessly working to get out a splendid showing of our people on Saturday. The Eagle wants to impress upon our people the necessity of doing all we can in every phase of this work. When duty called we have never been known to falter, and for that reason on this occasion of all others, we must show our colors. There are those who did not buy Liberty Bonds because they could not do so, but they can now do their bit in the Red Cross drive and it will be appreciated to the utmost. Let's back up with a vim the noble work of our women in the various Red Cross Auxiliaries, and when they make their reports it can be heralded to the world that the black phalanx never faltered but did its full duty and more.

This large and commodious store has been converted into a veritable palace, and sweets of all sorts will be served here. It is furnished throughout in faultless style, and the decorations will do credit to the highest degree. Dainty table and exquisite glassware adorn and embellish the parlor. A high class soda fountain has been installed and any drink known to the soda dispenser will be on tap at all times at this place. Aside from this the far famed Christopher's ice cream will be dispensed, as well as the very best candies, cakes, etc. A feature of this parlor will be the music, and on the opening night and special occasions high class entertainers will entertain the patrons. Mr. Arthur F. Adams, the proprietor of this sweet shop emporium, has spared neither pains nor expense to make this the best and classiest place possible, and as we have visited the same, we can say that it is well worthy of the patronage of the people. Mr. Adams is an energetic and public spirited business man, and the "Ponce De Leon Sweet Shop" should and will receive at the hands of the people the strongest possible support. ODD FELLOWS HOLD HANKS GIVING DAY SERVICE Last Sunday was dress parade day with the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, and they indeed made a highly creditable showing when to the martial strains of music as played by Eggleston's band, they in open order marched from their hall on Eighth and Wall street north to Seventh, thence east to San Pedro and south to Eighth street, from there to Wesley Chapel, corner Eighth and San Julian street. Here, standing at parade rest, they formed on each side of the entrance and the band escorted the sisters of the various Households into the church, dressed in beautiful cream. The Households' appearance was indeed a spectacle worth seeing. Many were the compliments rendered for their splendid sohwing. Following the Households came the various lodges, the Patriarchs, Grands and Past Grand Officers. The California Eagle Mr. C. Callahan was introduced by W. Busyah as the master of ceremonies, and after preliminary numbers by the choir, Rev. J. W. Price, pastor of Ward Chapel, was introduced to preach the annual sermon, and the same was a masterpiece of forceful eloquence. Sister Crenshaw of Household No. 561 read an excellent paper. Miss M. Busyah rendered a musical selection. The juveniles contributed a number. P. N. G. Mrs. E. Warner led in singing the Ruthite song, after which Prother J. B. Bass delivered the oration of the day. He concluded amidst the greatest enthusiasm. The collection was then taken, and with the closing and benediction by Rev. J. W. Price, the order again took up the line of march bk to their hall, thus bringing to a close one of the most notable annual Thanksgiving service ever held in this city.

SURPRISE WEDDING Miss Mollie Jones Wedded to Prominent Business Man of Portland, Oregon Probably the biggest surprise of the year in local society circles was the marriage last Thursday of Miss Mollie Jones of 2724 Glassell street to Mr. Fred D. Thomas of Portland. Mrs. Ered D. Thomas, Bride Ore. The bride has for a long time made her home with Mr. and Mrs. Chas Martinez on Glassell street. She is an amiable and attractive woman who has a host of friends and acquaintances who are pleased to wish her all the joys and blessings of wedded life. Mr. Thomas, as noted in these columns of last issue, is one of Portland's foremost and enterprising business men, conducts the leading catering business of that city, keeps on hand the largest assortment of dishes and silverware in that big city, and is also prominent in fraternal and church circles of that city. [Name] Mr. Fred D. Thomas, Groom Rev. J. Logan Craw, who performed the ceremony, is a personal friend of the groom, and also Mr. Chas. Martinez, at whose home the nuptials took place.

The Eagle joins with their many friends in wishing the bride and groom a happy voyage over the sometimes turbulent sea of matrimony. PROF. WILKINS AT THE BAT Wm. T. Wilkins' health is still improving and he announces that he will present his pupils in piano recital in many novelties and original ideas. The program will contain numbers from such masters as Heller, Godard, Rubenstein, Verdi, Beethoven, Liszt, Schumann and others. Many numbers being played by pupils at the early age of six. There will be piano solos, duets, trios and quartettes played by from one to six pupils. THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN NUMBER 1 IN RACE AGAINST DEATH Rev. B. C. Robeson Pittsburg, Pa., May 11, 1918 Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Bass, Los Angeles, Cal. My Kind Friends: I am now running a race with death. My father is almost in its clutches, sad to state, and my heart is throbbing more than the engine as it puffs. I am able now to fully appreciate the rigor of military law—whatever happens I must be back at camp Wednesday or be subject to a court-martial. Isn't it terrible when I would give my life to tarry at the homestead? A member of the faculty ascertosed us (the 3-of-color) last night, speaking in glowing terms of our work—our being taken is almost certain as we are not suffering from the weeding out process now in operation. I can hold up under the strain, and I feel that I can, I'm sure all will be well. You will hear from me again soon. Extend my sincere regards to Miss Brickhouse. With best wishes for health and success. I am yours sincerely. CALIFORNIA MADE SAFE FOR THE NEGRO Again it has been established that discrimination in this state will not and should not tolerated. On Tuesday, May 14th, in the Superior Court before Judge Paul J. McCormick, Attorney E. Burp Paul Cerutti scored a victory over the-apostes of discrimination. A mixed jury awarded his clients. Mrs. Banton and Mrs. Steward damages in the aggregate sum of one hundred dollars. On January 1, 1917, Mrs. Banton and Mrs. Steward, prominent residents of this city visited the Crown Theater in Pasadena. Despite the fact that the regular admission fee was ten cents, they were forced to pay twenty-five cents. After entering the theater they learned on inquiry that every one else had paid a dime and that all seats were 10 cents. They were convinced that they were the objects of discrimination. This they resented by filing suit for damages for the sum of five hundred dollars. Thus began the long and bitter legal controversy which ended in their favor on Tuesday last. The case is noteworthy because it is the first of its kind ever tried before a mixed jury. But it is of yet a more vital significance because it proves that Sections 51, 52, 53 and 54 of the Civil Code can be enforced, and that all who dare restrict the privileges of citizens on account of race, creed or color must expect adequate and just legal punishment. Mrs. Banton and Mrs. Steward, together with their intrepid Attorney, are to be congratulated on the perseverance and courage they have shown in the fighting of this long and perhaps disheartning struggle. They have, through their efforts established a judicial precedent favorable to the Race, and thereby "made California safe for the Negro. There will be such numbers as one piano and eight hands; two pianos, twelve hands, and three pianos, twelve hands. This year there will be presented two of the smallest white pupils of the school. Mrs. Dones and Mr. Owen Troy will play violin numbers. Mr. Webb King will appear in a Shakespeare number, impersonating three characters at the same time. Prof. Carl Bronson, the noted musician and critic, who now is in the employ of Uncle Sam, has promised to make an address if he is not sent away on Government work. Not only are the best music lovers and citizens of our Race expressing their intention of being present at this fifth annual benefit recital, but Mr. Wilkins is receiving letters and phone calls from many of his white friends for seats and reservations. Among his many guests on this grand occasion will be Dr. Ray Hastings, Reginald Barker, the big movie director, and Clara Williams, who is now starring in "Carmen of the Klondike," and is being featured on Broadway. Mr. Wilkins says he can't please everybody, but he and his school is making every effort to royally entertain his friends and the music loving public. All arrangements and preparations are original ideas with Mr. Wilkins, as he will copy after no one. Program will take place at Lyceum or T. M. A. Hall, 231 So. Spring St. Tuesday evening, May 28 at 8:15 sharp. General admission 25 cents; reserved seats 35 and 50 cents. The following, from our former staff reporter, Floyd G. Snelson, Jr., is self-explanatory, and the Eagle's contribution to its country is now over the seas. New York City, May A. Bass, Los Angeles; today for "Somewhere Good bye. 11.—Mrs. C. Am sailing in France." FLOYD. What the Churches are Doing --- SECOND BAPSTIST CHURCH MAPLE AVE. The Sunday school was very largely attended. The lesson was impressive and the comment by the pastor served to drive home the faithful work of the superintendent and the teachers. Dr. Prowd preached a timely sermon on the text, "This day is salvation come to this house." The Young People's meeting was a veritable blessing to all. At night the Rev. Mr. Elleston gave us an excellent talk on current events. All who heard him were edited and bade him God speed. On Tuesday the beloved wife of our devoted Brother Boyd was laid to rest. Her life and end was one of perfect satisfaction to herself and a denediction to all who knew her. Brother Boyd, and also the mother and other relatives have the sympathy of the pastor and members of the Second Church. Dr. Prowd last Wednesday joined Mr. Francis P. Jones and Miss Ruth Patterson, the devoted daughter of our deacon. Mr. Thomas Patterson, in marriage. The make up of the guests, the beautiful appearance of the wedding party and the dignified attitude of the bride and groom made the occasion the most charming of the season. Dr. Prowd will have a special message for all on Sunday. Come early and be sure to join in the singing. Find hymn sheets in the pews. WESLEY M. E. CHURCH Sunday was an excellent day at Wesley. The pastor preached two excellent germons, appropriate to Mothers' Day. All the worshippers were supplied with white carnations. Two persons united with the church. One person came forward for prayer. A large and appreciative audience attended the annual thanksgiving sermon of the G. U. O. O. E. and Household of Ruth. Rev. J.W. Price preached an excellent sermon. This Sundays marks the beginning of the strenuous windup campaign of the $3000 rally. The Old Timers and New Comers will both have booster services at each service. Hear the pastor's great sermon on "United Effort," at 11 a.m. At 3 p.m., under the management of Mr. E. M.

Splendid program by the girls including a short sermonette by the pastor. Brothers J. A. Jackson of the Old Timers, and O. S. Stout of the New Comers, call all the people of Los Angeles to arms for their re-armor. The team warmer and warmer as the days go by. June 2nd will be a great day when Wesley will go over the top in her $3000 effort. WARD CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH The worshippers and friends of this church enjoyed splendid services here Sunday; from the Sunday School with its growing interest to the closing of the evening service. The Men's P. M.

Society is making great preparation for their rally the first Sunday in June.

Come and worship with us. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Corner 8th and Towne Ave. Rev. J. Logan Craw, Pastor With two big overflowing congregations and many people turned away, because our spacious andatorium and bakery was to small to accommodate all who came. Evangelist Mary C. Evans captivated with her two fervent Gospel sermons last Sabbath the great congregations that thronged Historic First Church to hear her. A spell such as overwhelmed the disciples upon the Mount of Transfiguration caused many to exclaim, "Lord it is good for us to be here." Twenty-eight souls were added to this church on this Lord's Day and this does not include the great number of Sunday School scholars who made a decision for Christ during Sunday schooltime. In three nights alone fifty-six souls resolved to live anew for Christ; 25 of whom were converts and 31 backsliders reclaimed. The different churches in this city will all share in these accessions. This great revival service continues to Friday night, May 24. Doors open nightly at 7:00 o'clock. Everybody welcome. Come and we will do you good. Special meeting for Sunday school children only, this Saturday at 3 p.m. sharp. Sunday at 11 a.m. and 8 p.m., Sister Evans will preach.

Sunday School and Allen Christian Endeavor parade, Tuesday, May 21st. Participants will assemble in S. S. room, 8th and Towne Ave. Church at 6:30 o'clock. Line of march: East 8th St. to Central Ave. to Washington Ave. and back to the church for the "big young folks" meeting." All Sunday School, Endeavor, B. Y. P. U. and Epworth League Workers are invited to participate. BIRCH ST. CHRISTIAN CHURCH F. C. Cothran, Minister The pastor spoke from the subject "Mothers' Influence" paying high tribute to mother, in that he took us back to creation, when woman was taken from man's side Man was formed out of mother earth, so the first man Adam came from mother earth. The world's need today is mothers. Mothers such as Moses had, who taught him the need of his people. So strong did she impress this upon his heart that he refused the riches of Egypt to suffer with his people. Hannah dedicated her son Samuel to God and so impressed him that he made a great prophet and judge, making this a wonderful lesson to us. The evening service for the Mothers' program was great. Mothers were lifted very high, we hope this to become a reality. Preaching Sunday, May 19, 11 a.m. Subject, "Condition of Discipleship." 8:00 p.m. "The Unanswerable Question." All welcome. THE PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST Corner 18th and Paloma Sts. Rev. N. P. Greggs, D.D., Pastor Mothers' Day was celebrated with inspiring services at People's Independent Church. At the morning hour pastor Gregges delivered a very inspiring and impressive sermon to mothers. Eight united with the church, four of whom were converts. At this service, Mr. Harold Browning, noted tenor singer, who recently returned from the east, charmed the audience with a beautiful solo. In the evening the Southern California Women's Federation had charge of the service and rendered an excellent program. Atty. W. O. Tyler delivered a very eloquent address on the subject, "The Duty of Mother and Child, One to the Other." In concluding he also called attention to new and greater responsibilities being assumed by Race mothers. The choir as usual rendered excellent music, and it seemed to have been the general sentiment of those present, that this great choir is proving its right to the title, the best in the west. Too much praise cannot be given Prol. Johnson for the wonderful, work being accomplished. Baptismal service will be held next Sunday afternoon. There is a large number of candidates, so this service will begin at 3 o'clock sharp. We had great services last Sunday. Both services were well attended. Our Sunday School has a membership 140 children; our B. Y. P. U. 38; our church 20. We are growing, but more than growing, we are doing a great work in this community. Last Sunday the pastor spoke from Heb. 13:13-14: "Let us go forth therefore unto Him without the camp, bearing. His reproach, for here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come." At the evening service a sermon was delivered to mothers—2 Tim. 1:5: "When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that in thee also." Nigat Sunday the pastor will speak at both services; morning subject: "The Life-giving Word." evening subject: "U-Boats in Society." FIRST A. M. E. ZION "The Unspeakable Gift," Corinthians 9:15, was the subject of an inspirational discourse. Sunday at the 11 a.m. service. The pastor said that "the highest gift that man can attain is to accept Christ as their God and bow down at the foot of His throne." Also that Paul calls Christ the unspeakable gift, because words could not portray the beauty or the value of such a gift. He also mentioned how the Queen of Sheba, Africa, browns money to the value of 3 million dollars (Kilo Somone) to hope to hear something of coming Christ, the "Unspeakable Gift." Even today Christ is a new and will ever be a new subject to all men. It was a splendid discourse and everybody was made happy. A splendid collection was raised. The trustees and the pastor have gotten out stamp books, value of stamps 25 cents each, in an effort to raise $500.00 by June 30, 1918. The public is invited to assist. Mrs. Harris on W. 35th St., near Normandie, is quite sick. Mrs. Georgia Miller, a very sick lady, was baptized after joining the church last Sunday. The pastor has a beautiful subject to talk on Sunday morning, also Sunday evening. Come early. Everybody welcome. Good singing. Sunday School at 9:45 a.m. THE ST. PAUL BAPTIST "Mothers' Day" was observed with fitting ceremonies. White and pink carnations blossomed from nearly every bosom. Pastor Holt was at his best. Text. "And she sat on his right hand," I Kings 2:19. Subject, "Mothers' place in the Affection of the World." Not one stone was left unturned, for out of a full heart pour treasures of ripe experience. The pastor gave out truths which swayed the audience whose every cheek was bathed in tears. The auxiliaries were as usual. large attendance and wild enthusiasm. Pastor Holt will-preach the annual sermon for "Knights and Daughters of Africa," at New Hope Baptist Church, Sunday at 3 p.m. Hear him. St. Paul is showering Pastor Holt in companies, sixteen broke in on him last Wednesday night. Come again, meet us Sunday. TABERNACLE BAPTIST The services at Tabernacle Baptist Church are still up to the usual standard. Pastor Gordon preached two masterly sermons last Sunday. Both services were well attended.

It seems as though the Democrats are attending to business and are so building their bridges so as to remain in power forever. The Kansas City Sun and Helena, Montana, must certainly be on good terms, as it maintains a correspondent in that town with a population of less than 500; one of its correspondents certainly is a crepe hanger for true. He may be an old ace at the game, but to our mind he could very well find more inspiring news and cut the gloom. ANNUAL STOCK TAKING Over the nation the movement to curtail the interstate organizations is meeting with general approval on account of the economic conditions which obtain on account of the world war and the uncertainty of railroad service, as well as the increase in rates for interstate trade. Mere state gatekeeping is however face with difficulty. The railroad service is all right, and the increase in cost of travel is not worth mentioning, and way beyond this it is absolutely necessary that a stock taking should be had, the state officers must render an account of their stewardship. There may be some who, to avoid giving this account, will insist on no session so that they can put off the accounting, and hold on to their office indefinitely, but the people are going to awaken and their sins of both omission and commission will find them out. You can always trust the people. WERE NOT REPRESENTED The $12,000,000 market which we mentioned in these columns in our last issue, has its grand opening on last Saturday. They had music galore, and speaking profusion; the Chinese, Japanese, and in fact all classes of our citizenship were represented at this grand opening except the black man. Now it was not because of prejudice, antipathy or hatred; it was simply because he has not qualified for representation in this sort of proposition, where so many millions of capital is represented. It was because he has failed to enlist like the Chinese and Japanese in the army of producers, therefore it is obvious to all of us that with all the other accomplishments we are not keeping pace with progress along the lines of producing riches from Mother Earth, nor will we ever qualify along these lines if we heed the bickering of hot air merchants who decry the effort of progress along these lines. But, however, the Eagle sees the dawn of a new day and in no distant future; along the line of production miracles will take place and this people will line up and qualify as producers to the utmost. We have been among the people, not the hot air merchants, but the real people, the plain, common every day people, the very foundation of our Race, and the efforts of our leaders for the soil is appreciated to the utmost and they realize that to cope with the future in this country they must produce, and to the men who make this possible they look to as the Moses who will lead them to the promised land. PRACTICAL RACE FRIENDSHIP The Union League Holding under the able management of Mr. J. W. Deyoe is in a concrete manner showing the Race practical friendship. Its entire help is now of this Race For years the waiters of the Union League Building have been colored, but it was left to the great toesight of Mr. Deyoe to add to this efficient class of workers the elevator operator, hallmen, and latest and most important he has placed the cuisine of this high class club entirely in the hands of the Race from its chef on down the line. It was under the management of Mr. Deyoe that the State Offices from the Supreme Court on the entire ninth floor of the Motor-Vehicle License Bureau on the street floor took housing in the Union League Building, and Mr. Deyoe has done everything possible as the lessor's manager to give them fair treatment and make them contented. With his rare executive ability and marvelous foresight Mr. Deyoe realized that it was a protection to the business interests of the Union League to have only loyal and trusted employees on the premises, hence his penchant for and appreciation of the Race. Such men as J. W. Deyoe should be remembered and rewarded when possible by every evidence of appreciation. WAR STAMP RECORD BETTER THIS MONTH Surpassing the record of last month to date by $23,053, residents of Los Angeles bought since April 1, $248,853 in War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps. This was made known today by Postmaster Harrington Brown, who also called attention to the probability that this city will make a remarkable per capita showing before the end of April is reached if the people continue to show the same enthusiasm. In March, $225,800 worth of War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps were purchased here. "It has been called to my attention that Southern California stood fifteenth in the War Savings Stamps districts up to April 1," said Postmaster Brown. "However, I feel quite certain both in the northern and southern part of the state a great awakening has taken place. I should not be at all surprised if the Californians reached the top of the list before the end of the year, for we lack nothing in patriotism and willingness to prove it. The treasury department report, made public recently, is necessarily accurate, but it takes time to tabulate and check up on all such figures. When the report up to May 1 comes in I expect a happy surprise." STAMPING OUT KULTUR In the big Liberty Loan and War Savings Parade held in New York, recently, and participated in by more than ten thousand persons in line, one of the floats carried an old German instrument of torture, from the collection of Harry Haudini, with a banner reading: "KEEP THIS OUT OF AMERICA." Editorial comment on this feature is almost unanimous in maintaining that the most intricate and effective instruments of torture devised by Huns or Teutons of pristine days fall far short of the simple, and now common-place, contrivances they use in their modern "Frightfulness." "The up-to-date Hun atrocities with a bayonet, spiked club or a gas-tank than his forebears could have conceived after a lifetime of thought and preparation," comments one editor. "The explanation of this is Kultur."

A very appropriate program was well rendered Evangelist Mrs. M. C. Harris closed a three weeks' revival Sunday night. She thrilled three packed audiences Sabbath and as a Gospel messenger she is peerless. The revival was the greatest in the history of the church during which 19 souls were happily converted, many backsliders reclaimed and the church lifted to a higher spiritual standard. Messrs. H. H. Thomas, Julius Jones, G. Jones and Barnes headed a unique beach party Monday evenings motoring about 25 miles down the beach. Fried fish was bountifully served. The Tuesday evening the Mt. Olive Baptist Missionary Society served a supper, which was well attended. Evangelist Mrs. M. C. Harris begun her great evangelistic drive in the California Conference the first of the year, during which time she has made almost a complete tour, throughout the California Conference with hundreds of souls added to our churches. *Mrs. M. C. Harris easily takes the place in the forefront not only by the E. C. the Race. As a Gospel messenger she has no superior and few equals, if any, in or out of the connection. Mr. E. O. Ramsey of Los Angeles, is in our midst and is erecting Palm Beach houses. His services are very much in demand and we look for a bright future in this line for Mr. Ramsey. The Mt. Olive Baptist Church observed 'Mothers' Day, Sunday night. A fine program was rendered and everyone present was presented with a white carnation. Lillian Henderson wrenched her side, Wednesday while playing at school. We thank the A. M. E. church and God to have and hold in honor this noted evangelist woman of our race who has heard "Our Macedonian Cry" in this far o fwestern country and as an Angel of Light the Lord has wonderfully prospered her work and the California oCference has been blessed by her coming. We are glad to note that so many people are eager to take the paper. It shows Race pride and a thinking people. Rev. H. B.

She is modest and graceful; procures a wonderfully deep, rich tone; and masters without difficulty harmonies and pizzicatto passages. Mrs. Murdock proved to be an experienced accompanist — sympathetic and pleasing. Her solo numbers all demonstrated her very light but positive touch which found response in the sweet toned Steinway piano, upon which she played.

THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE SHORT TALKS SHORT TALKS WITH C. DURANT Dear Sir:— I seek your valuable advice in this most vital question: He has gone, a soldier. There was no engagement. He expressed his love and hopes, but there was no question or answer. I liked him as a friend, and thought that one day I might learn to love him. There is another and I care more for him, but I never answer him until I know that my soldier boy has not staked his on me. Please give me your best advice, for this is all important to me. D. B.—Search your heart, for I don't believe you ever cared for him, and at present you are taking sympathy for his having gone to the front, combined with patriotism, to fool your heart into believing you loved. After doing this if you still find the tracks of love, then wait, for you indicate that he expressed his love, and hope of a future for you both. On the other hand, if you find it as I stated at the beginning and you love the second, and if he is worthy in your eyesight of your love, give him your answer. Remember always LOVE MUST RULE. Have you ever been in someone's company and unable to say anything? I mean that you felt as though all of a sudden a mood possessed you to be quiet? You enjoyed the person's company at the same time very much, and better still if they also taught the spirit of quietness recognized it? Young Friend, for I would write to, I stopped long enou very observant as analyze it? Well, I facts and solution beerte, and I hope you will note of it. There are but three reasons for this condition 1st—You are entirely out of your sphere., the person in whose presence you are, is either your Intellectual Superior, or the characteristics of each is as different from each other as the sun and the stars. 2nd—You are in extremely Good or Bad company. 3rd—You are likely to be in Love with the one in whose company you are. This last is the most dangerous, as the person under this influence is subject, Soul and Body, to the will and power of his or her Captivator. Young friend, I desire you not to be frivolous, and so bring those points before you for your benefit. When you are in company, should you fall into this attitude, as stated at the beginning of this article, search carefully and immediately for its cause. If it should be the first, note if it is the Superior or Inferior intellect, and if it be the superior don't step down to your companion in order to breaw the mood, but try to lift him with you as you attempt to soar; if the second, and you are able to recognize it is the good, bask in its rays, if the other get thee gone; if the third, and you know not the virtues or vices of your companion, withdraw as unassumingly as possible, lest your Being, both Spiritual and Physical, be contaminated or even crushed in the tracks of Will and Power. Remember this, and if you have benefited from it, you will Observe and Keep it. Mrs. Annie E. Webber and sister, Mrs. B. J. Barnett, who have been spending a few days in Santa Barbara for their health, returned saying that while there they visited the bazaar dinner held at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, May 7, Rev. H. B. Thomas, pastor, which was largely attended by the whites of that city, among whom were some of the educators and leading business men of the city. On account of the recent bereavement of Mrs. Webber and sister they could not have a social function for them. But they were entertained at dinner by Mrs. Nettie Jones, president of the Missionary Circle, at which time Mrs. Webber was presented with a handsome hand-embroidered dresser set by Rev. Thomas from the Missionary Circle. The bazaar and dinner was a financial success. Mrs. Webber interested the pastor and young women in or- ganizing an auxiliary Missionary. Circle.

ENTERTAINS MISSION- ARY SOCIETY Last Sunday afternoon Mrs. Jones entertained about 25 members of the Young People's Missionary Society of the Second Baptist church. After the regular routine of business, "Inventions by Negroes," the topic for the afternoon, was ably discussed by the young people, after which dainty refreshments were served by Mrs. Jones. A CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank the many friends of Los Angeles for the kindness shown to us during the illness of our daughter and sister, Mrs. Violette Jefferson, especially Mrs. Julia Sandrige, Mrs. E. Persly, Mrs. Sykes, Mr. Shaw, Mrs. Ollie Harden and many others also to the friends of Los Angeles for the beautiful floral designs, Undertaker A. J. Roberts & Son for their noble work and kindness, Rev. J. W. Price for his wonderful sermon and other Los Angeles friends who were present. WOMEN, GIRLS TO ARMS Miss Mary G. Evans has sounded the alarm to the Misses and Women of the city she calls. There is danger near. The enemy has been sighted. It depends on the womanhood of the country whether the battle is to be one of victory. Don't be a slacker. Sunday afternoon at three o'clock you will be expected to be in line shouldering your gun. She will give you the ammunition and the directions regarding the shooting. Women only, at the First'A. M. E. Church, 8th al. Downe Ave. CASHED You would think that she would be so accustomed to such things by this time that a modest little article like that published last week would not make her blush. But she did—terribly—and asked that such doings be discontinued. We will respect her wishes because they are so worthy. However, next week perhaps, she will be so busy packing her suitcase that a modest little article in appreciation of the noble virtues that are surely hers, will not be blushed over. We will not say anything about her this week, tell her when you see her. And you certainly ought to both see and hear her, for your own sakes. WEDDING BELLS A very beautiful and unique little wedding was witnessed by about seventy-five persons last Wednesday evening, when Miss Ruth Patterson became the bride of Mr. Francis Jones. The wedding took place at the home of the bride's father, Mr. Lo Patterson, 214 N. Alvarado street. The knot was tied at nine o'clock by Rev. H. D. Prowd. The bride looked very charming dressed in white, and carrying a bunch of white La France rose-buds, while the maids, who were also dressed in white, bore ferns. The color scheme carried out was pink and white. The bride and groom will be at home to their friends after June 1st, at 3763 La Salle Ave. At the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. G.

TRUTH—PROVERBS Truth, crushed to earth, shall rise again; The eternal years of God, are hers. But error, wounded, writhes in pain And dies among his worshipers. Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne. Sooner or later the truth comes to light. The truth is mighty and will prevail. Be true to your word, your work, and your friend. Better to suffer for truth than prosper by falsehood. Thou must be true thyself if thou the truth wouldst teach. That must be true which all men say. Truth may sometimes come out of the devil's mouth. Truth may be blamed, but shall never be shamed. Truth may languish, but can never perish. Your looking glass will tell you what none of your friends will. Though malice may daarken truth, it cannot put it out. Truth sees no corners. Truth never grows old. Truth makes the devil blush, so speak the truth and shame the devil.

Miss Johns, Miss Grace Brock and Mrs. Shirley Brock were the guests of Mr. Joe Stansel on last Sunday afternoon at his home in East San Diego. Mr. Stansel, who has been on the sick list for some time, is not feeling so well this week. Mrs. Prudent's little bog of East San Diego was taken very sick last week, but is better at this writing.

They have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. Mrs. Isabella Brahsacres, a member of the Rope Holders Club, left Thursday morning for a week's visit with friends in San Berhardino. In the loss of Mr. Donegan, who departed from our city Saturday for Oakland to accept a position as head waiter of the Bismark Grill, we mourn the loss in our city, of such young men as Mr. Donegan. So there will be one more star in the club's service flag. O, well, we know someone else who will wear a Donegan star, but we won't call no names, but you can use your own judgment. The Carnation Club held its regular business meeting at the residence of Mrs. V. L. Goodwin. Every member was present, together with two others, who sent in their applications to become members.

Men have not been allowed in our club for some time, but by chance it happened that Mr. "F. T. A." (guess who he is) dropped into the meeting, and the members were kind enough to let him remain through the meeting. The mysterious package was brought out and was taken home by our new visitor, Mr. "F. T. A." The package contained a beautiful boudoir cap, something he said that he had needed for a long time. Mr. F. T. A. gave some very encouraging remarks to the club, and they are to consider the matter of taking men into the club again. The collection for the evening was $8.26. The following verse, as our motto, was read both at the beginning and closing of the meeting by the president: THE TONE OF VOICE It is not so much what you say, As the manner in which you say it; It is not so much the language you use. As the tone in which you convey it. The words may be mild and fair. And the tones may pierce like a dart; The words may be soft as the summer air. And the tones may break the heart. For words but come from the mind, And grow by study and art; But the tones leap forth from the But the tones leap forth from the inner self And reveal the state of the heart. Whether you know it or not, Whether you mean or care, Gentleness, kindness and hate, Envy and anger are there. And in peace and love rejoice. Then would you quarrels avoid, Keep anger not only out of your words. But keep it out of your voice. Mr. M. T. Laws motored to Los Angeles Saturday night with a party of six, which was chaperoned by Mrs. E. L. Parker, who joined her friend, Mrs. Mae Samuels, in Los Angeles, and accompanied her back to San Diego.

Brown, who is the very capable and efficient manager of the El Dorado Gold Star Mining Company, which bids fair to become one of the great mining companies in this country, arrived in the city Monday direct from the mines. He had just finished loading a car of ore for the smelters at Salt Lake City. He came down to consult with the officers of the company and to visit his family, and to get men so as to put on a larger force at mining of the ore from the mines of the company. Mr. Brown is indeed one of our most reliable citizens and conservative to the utmost, and under his guidance as manager of the mines, the highest efficiency and lasting results have been attained and the El Dorado Gold Star Mining Company is indeed in the ascendancy.

THE SEASON'S MOST ELABORATE AFFAIR Tuesday evening Sojourner Truth Club house was a bevy of, pretty things and pretty things in this case means pretty ladies, pretty flowers, pretty decorations and too, sweet music. Headed by Mrs. Mabel Gray who was ably assisted by Mrs. Highbaugh, and other members of the Young People's Missionary Society of the New Hope Baptist church, the young people entertained Rev. A. Lively, pastor of New Hope, wife and the senior missionary society. There were many persons present who pronounced it the most artistically arranged affair yet staged at Sojourner. The color scheme of pink and white, with a solid green background, was most carefully carried out in decoration and collation. The guest were met at the door by beautifully gowned ladies who received the cards, and from thence to the dressing room above; after which they guided by other prettily who conducted them a receiving line and present- Lively and the Sen- umbers. along an archway covered by caragus ferns and roses, resembling a running rose bush; just over the archway directly in center, a strow) welcome from which was suspended the emblem of the auxiliary. On either side pink baskets of roses hung. The dining room was a garden of baby roses and ferns. A large pink basket was filled with white (hot house) American Beauty roses and Cecil Brunners. On the sides of the basket suspended from handle, were two small pink baskets filled with Cecil Brunners. Suspended from top of a massive basket a portrait of Pastor Lively on a pink background completed a perfect scene. The ladies, also beautifully gowned, who received were: Mrs. Millie Taylor, Mrs. Annie Kimbrough Lewis, Mrs. Stella Bennett, Mrs. Sarah Williams, Miss Jimmie Lou Benson, Mrs. Eva Highbaugh, Mrs. Aita Clark. Each wore a bouquet of Cecil Brunners. The committee in charge of refreshments were Mrs. Henry, Mrs. B. Johnson, Mrs. Moore, Mrs. H. Curry. Three ladies in white with dainty white aprons with pink bows served jellied chicken salad, pink and white ice cream was served in bouquet fashion with baby spoons tied with green ribbon. These bouquets were placed in pink and white floral baskets. In the Receiving Line Miss Frankie Givens, gowned in pink silk and Miss Ophelia Keller in dainty white lingerie; Rev. A.

Others: Mrs. G. Jenkins, Mrs. Banks, Mrs. J. E. Wilson, Mrs. W. Jones, Mrs. Penny, Mrs. Miller. Little May Leona Wauls received cards. Mr. Henry Moore in full dress was door man. The program which was directed by Mrs. J. B. Bass, was excellent. The following piano numbers were rendered by Prof. H. Douglas Greer: Waram—Schumann. Au Matin—Godard. C-Sharp Minor Prelude—Rachmani-noff. Sextett from Lucia—Solo for left hand alone. Prof Greer is one of the best trained musicians in this city. Several beautiful solos were rendered by Miss O. Ford who is the possessor of a very sweet soprano voice. Dr. H. D. Prowd, pastor of the Second Baptist church, and one of the most eminent divines on the Pacific in polished and well chosen language spoke complimentary of Rev. A. Lively and the Missionary workers.
