(Special Contribution.) The Western Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Convention has just closed its session with the Macedonia Baptist Church, Watts. A grander session has never been recorded. Featured with the echos of the wonderful work that was done during the past year, and chock full of plans for the coming year, the sessions were far from deterioration. The Sunday School Convention opened Wednesday morning. June 26th, with Pres. Mrs. A. S. Fields in the chair. Reports of the Credential Committee showed sixteen schools represented and four absent. Delegates, fifty-nine. The feature of the morning session was a paper, "How to Promote and Retain Activities in the Rural Sunday School," which was creditably handled by Mrs. Baucum of Mt. Olivet, Los Angeles. Discussion brought out the advantages of rural over city schools for real Sunday School work. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. Reports of officers: Recording Secretary, Treasurer and Corresponding Secretary. Adopted. Then came the President's annual address by Mrs. A. S. Shields; a wonderful report of the super-wonderful work she has been doing. Visiting and boosting for Foreign Missions and the Old Folks' Home are her specialty, and we must say her specialties should be those of every Negro Baptist of the State. We look for more such work the coming year. Rev. G. W. Reed's lecture, "The Purpose of the Sunday School and B. V. P. U.; Are They Getting the Proper Results? If not, Why?" This instructive discourse in itself was compensation to every representative and visitor present. Dwelling on the art of teaching children and the necessity of teaching children and the necessity of trained teachers, Dr. Reed's admonition is carried out by the various schools, should be a great strength to Southern California. Election of officers as follow: President: Mrs. A. S. Shields Election of Vice-President: Mr. President, J. D. Groves, Sec- rutors, Los Angeles Deputy Secretary, Mrs. S. H.

At 8 a. m. examinations were held for teachers' training classes, and five pins were awarded. With the adoption of Temperance Committee, every Baptist Sunday School in Southern California was pledged to send a letter to the legislator of their district asking that said legislator stand for National Prohibition. A tasty banquet and round-table talk was held at 6:10 p. m. and a wonderful literary program wound up the session. The oration of Hilbert L. Rozier, subject, "What Next and What Will the Answer Be." was the feature of the evening. Mr. Rozier held the vast audience spell-bound as he took us back to the creation of the universe. He then brought us to the destruction by water; we went with him with Christ in the garden of Gethsemane, up. Cavalry's rugged brow and then on the Cross. He then brought us back to the present, showing that the call would soon be man power, and noble was his plea, that the young Negro should be the answer by adopting the storian of Preparedness. It was a brilliant piece of work, and as President of the B. Y. P. U. Convention we predict for him a great future. BASIC CONFERENCE 01 At the in session of the Loss An- district Conference convened at Santa Monica July 26, 2010. Rev. W. M. Stevens presiding order, presiding. A all-in session was in attendance. The Conference was interesting from the beginning to the end and many nationalized visitors were in attend- ance. Rev. S. E. Edwards, D. D., of the A. M. E. Church, brought crater- nal greetings from the A. M. E. Distri- tion Conferenzone which was in session at Furlong Trapt. Rev. Wade of the Baptist Church at Venice, Rev. Simpson of the A. M. E. Church. Rev. Prince U. Kaba Rega and wife of Afrika, were all, distinguished visitors, spirition to the session. The Missionary department was presided over by Mrs. A. E. Kenney, District President, and was full of inspiration. Among the visitors were missionary bodies from the A. M. E. and Baptist Churches. On Friday night a program was rendered to the delight of the hearers by delegates assisted by some of the best local, talent of Santa Monica and Los Angeles. Sunday the services were highly spiritual. At 1 i o'clock, Rev. Prince U. Kaba Rega of Africa preached a wonderful sermon to a packed house. At 3 p. m., Rev. J. C. Anderson of Los Angeles erpached to an appreciative audience and the closing sermon was preached by Rev. J. R. Rector of Berkeley. This closed the greatest District Conference in the history of the California Conference. Santa Monica and Los Angeles choirs furnished the music during the session. District Conference and Sunday School Convention and Women's Mite Misonary of the Southern District met with Second A. M. E. Church, 1736 53rd Street, Los Angeles, June 26, 27, 28. This was truly the best session of the Southern District. The Conference was progressive each day and more and more interest was shown. Tuesday, June 25, the pastor, Rev. W. M. Tyler, and his corps of work- San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, JULY 6, 1918 ers, left no stone unturned in making this an event of importance. First day, Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock, devotionals was led by Rev. B. R. Guy of San Diego. At 9:30 sharp the gavel fell for the opening of the Conference. Presiding Elder introduced Rev. S. E. Edwards, who preached the annual sermon from Acts, 1:8, which was enjoyed by all present. After the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper by the P. E., assisted by Revs. Taylor, Guy, Craw, and others, the P. E. called the Conference to order for organization and J. W. Price was elected Secretary, Bro. Geo. Warner-elected marshall. Other committees were then appointed. A motion fixing the hour of convening and adjournment was set at 9 a.m. to 12 noon. The presiding elder made his annual address, which was ver yhelpful to all. He admonished the men to be always ready for their tasks, to be loving and kind at all times. The Conference elected Rev. S. E. Edwards as Fraternal delegate to the C. M. E. Conference which was convening at Santa Montca. The spirit of Religious Patriotism was the keynote of this session, and all present joined in with the presiding elder and ministers in supporting the Presidents war measures. The meeting adjourned to meet at 2:30 with the Sunday School Convention. At 2 p. m. Devotional was led by Rev. Fred A. Hughes, who was very fervent in his talk on prayer. A very profitable half hour was spent after which the presiding elder introduced Mrs. Sadie Wright, District Superintendent of Pasadena, who went into organization work. Miss E. Johnson of Riverside was elected Secretary. Other committees appointed by the District Superintendent made their reports, in which some great work was pointed out to be done during the next year. One of the things spoken of was a lack of proficient teachers for our Sunday School work. This brought about much discussion, which ended in the District Superintendent appointing a committee of seven to bring in a report recommending a proper course of study for a teacher's writing school. The professor consented to be supervisor of this work, with Mrs. Wright chief teacher. Much good was placed and all seemed to be pleased with the work. There was some difference of opinion as to whether this was the best thing to do, but after due demons from all sides it was agreed upon. We adjourned at 5.30 p.m. to be treated to a very interesting seminar by Rev. C. J. Lockhart of Riverside. All present were updited by this man of God. Second day, Thursday 9 a.m. Devotional led by W. C. Davies of Watts. At 9:20 the presiding elder opened the Conference with a short talk to the brethren, at which time every minister was in his seat. All but two answered rooil call, Pomona Duarte. The report from charges were due. They showed not only money having a large place in the minds of the pastors, but saving of souls, as well. Every church had a revival and many added to them. Aa this session the editor of the Eagle was present and was called upon to make a speech on a very vital question in our national, as well as church life, which he did with credit to himself and race. At this juncture, the morning hour being at hand, we adjourned to meet with the W. M. M. Convention. Second Evening.—At 2:30 p. m., Mrs. H. E. Reed took the reins in hand and called the W. M. M. Convention to order. After electing Mrs. J. L. Craw and E. Guy on Consecratio of the Convention was entered into. Every station was represented. Our work in the Imeprial Valley was looked after by these good women, who voted to help the Misison at Calexico; also the pastor, Rev. S. E. Edwards, being off on misison work for the Conference, the W. M. M. Convention raised $2 for Calexico and El Centro. There was much good done at this meeting. Those present received new courage to work for God and Mison. At 5:30 p. m. we adjourned for the evening's treat. There was a drama by the Boy Scout Troupe. This was a literary treat to all. The boys are very energetic in their work as Scouts. Third Day—This brought much work for the different committees. At M. E. H. Mr. Jones, who heads the company, gained national reputation as a poet, on the publication of his "Siyan Cabin," with its introduction by William Stanley Braitwaite. America's most eminent authority on poetry. Besides numerous critics in the leading periodicals, Mr. Jones has commendatory letters on his works by such notables as James W. Riley, Meridith Nicholson, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Dr. David Starr Jordan, U. S. Commissioner P. P. Claxton, Mine, Nellie Melba, Sir Rabindranath Tagore and others. The members of the quartette are Mrs. Ruby C. Covil, first soprano; Mrs. Beatrice Banton, second soprano; Mrs. Naomi Pharr, first alto, and Mrs. A. C. Bilbrow, second alto and accompanist. The company is rendering voluntary service to the various "win the war" auxiliaries and worth while chaplets, such as the Red Cross, British Ambulance Society, and the Colored Old Folks' Home. They were honor guests at the Red Cross Tea Rooms, 8th and Alvarado Street, on May 23rd last, and rendered a program of which Mrs. E. J. Qually, chairman of Publicity, wrote; We were more than delighted with your splendid program of yesterday. The ladies' quartette's singing "Dixie" simply brought down the house," and in fact every number was highly appreciated by the enthusiastic audience. I need not comment on your part of the program—the applause of the house demonstrated that. We thank you most heartily and hope to have you and the "Liberty Girls" with us again. Mr. Jones is planning, so that after his benefit for the Colored Old Folks' Home on the 11th inst. and his program at the British Ambulance Society on July 18th, to travel and entertain the Liberty Boys in the various camps, with the patriotic soul-inspiring songs of His Loyal Liberty Girls. the afternoon session two very interesting papers were read by Messrs. L. J. Craw and E. Guy on Consecration and Devotion to service. We closed at 8 p. m. in a hallo of oratory by Attorney W. O. Tyler, our silver-tongued lawyer, who thrilled us with the message of Democracy and the A. M. E. Church after the war. REV. W. C. DAVIES. Papers read by Mrs. B. R. Guy and Mrs. L. J. Craw will be published in later issues. PROF. KELLY MILLER DEAN HOWARD UNIVERSITY PLEASES HEARERS Prof. Kelly Miller pleased to the utmost a fair audience which gathered at Union Congregational Church, 9th and Hope Streets, on last Tuesday evening. His address was, indeed, worthy of the consideration and attention of all. It was unfortunate that this date was chosen, as the people were giving the noted evangelist, Miss Mary G. Evans, her farewell honors, and as a result the entertainment in Los Angeles and vice Mr. Jones, who heads the compoet, on the publication of his "Sylvia William Stanley Braitwaite, America besides numerous critics in the leadingatory letters on his works by such Nicholson, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Dr. L.

However, at the Independent Church Friday evening the people will without doubt take the opportunity of hearing him on the subject of "Democracy." FOR THE GOVERNMENT. With a view to teaching all nations the meaning of America,' the National Committee on Public Information, through William McCormick Blair, director of the Four-Minute Men, has requested Marshall Stimson, chairman of the Four-Minute Men of Los Angeles county, to appoint the following well-known citizens to his corps of Four-Minute Men: J. B. Bass, editor of the California Eagle; Frederick M. Roberts, editor of the New Age; Charlie Alexander, editor of the Citizens Advocate; Attorney Hugh E. Macbeth, Noah D. Thompson, of the Express staff and William E. Easton. With the exception of Attorney Macbeth, these men made their first four-minute speeches for the Government on the Fourth.—Wednesday Daily Tribune. KELLY-MILLER OUTING Given by Howard University Alumni. The Kelly-Miller outing party with Dr. W. C. Gordon as director, ably assisted by Attorney Charles S. Darden and Mrs. Catherine Murdock, on the Fourth, was one of the largest and most representative outing parties we have observed. The party assembled at the popular drug store of Leggett & Smith on Central Avenue, each automobile host being provided with a well planned guide diagram of the scenic route to be traversed during the day, beginning at Pasadena and ending at Santa Monica.

City and the most beautiful mountain drive and canyon to be seen anywhere. A few mishaps were experienced, but none serious enough to mar the occasion. The destination having been reached at 2:30, there was no time lost in making ready for the feast, to which all had looked forward with the earnestness of their souls and apparently their stomachs, if we are to judge by the way the meats and sweets were devoured. Many very striking groops were snapped, none more so possibly than the watermellon group. The reporter did not join that bunch for the reason that the rgroup will make a finer showing on the first page of the paper without him. "A hint to the wise is sufficient." Those who arranged the party are obliged to the persons who furnished care for the occasion. THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN NUMBER 21 in and near Los Angeles Several graduates, completing courses from Biggers' Business College, are now ready to answer to the call for positions. A series of orations (one each week), will be published in the California Eagle for several consecutive weeks. Oration by Miss Emma Watson, graduate Biggers' Business College: Improve Present Opportunities. Youth is the true time for success. Old age is the winter season of life, and if no provision has been made to acquire a competence before that period, it will be an unhappy time, perhaps a miserable existence as a result. Success has no tomorrow, it is always today, and if the sun of today sets upon failure, it cannot be hoped that it will rise tomorrow upon success, there being nothing to cause it to do so. An opportunity says to you, "Oh, well, if you do not care for my company, there are others who do," any way it goes to the others, and then you have regrets, too late, perhaps, and some one else has appropriated it. It is a common saying: "Everything comes to those who wait," but Napoleon said, "Everything comes to them who knows how to wait." There is a vast difference. Do you know how to wait, friends? If you do, then you are ready to grasp opportunity when it comes your way. What do you intend to do for a living? "Plenty of time to decide that," you say for yourself, but you deceive yourself, for there is not plenty of time. You must decide early, and educate yourself for the trade or calling, you have decided to follow. You must have some definite aim in life. Nobody can six one for you, you know best what you can do, what you would like to do, and what education you need to do it. Things are swiftly moving in these modern times, and you must decide quickly, or tail behind. Others are treading on your hands, and you must go all along out altogether, and the process is so large and so closely alike that you cannot wedge your way in to hurt a hard struggle. Time is not a thing to be wasted, it is so much to you for the purpose of warfare out your destiny; time does not belong to you; it is a time and something perhaps before you can have the loan will be called in. One of the greatest causes for failure in life is discouragement; it seems to be the element in the life of every one to be up one day and down the next. When one gets up, it is possible for him to stay up by hard work and persistence, but if he permits himself to go below his balance, he may consider himself altogether down and out. Failure does not mean that you will not succeed, but through hard work as we must meet failure and look it squarely in the face. But be not afraid of it; take hold of it, and compel it to work to your advantage. Remember this: Every dark cloud has a silver lining. You see the dark side, but if you make your way around to the other side, you will see the sun shining. Much of the discouragement is caused by undertaking more than we can accomplish. If that is the case, then by leaving off a little here and there we shall soon reduce our enterprise to a success that we can handle. A business education is very valuable to everyone, and there are many opportunities to secure it at Biggers Business College. Doors to a business education are. Shorthand, Typewriting, Bookkeeping, Penmanship, Business English, Commercial Law, Etc. We spend many months of hard struggle on our work for advancement, but at least we have come to the end, and the day of graduation has come, and we receive our Diploma for the great work that we have accomplished, and we can only say that we are well paid for the time that we spent at Biggers' Business College, with our Instructor and classmates. Few people want to die when young, but the sure way to reach the end is to work when we desire to play. Labor constantly undergone, for sixteen hours every day, shortens life by about one-half. The human machine is built for so much service, and if that service is crowded into What the Churches are Doing NOW WE HAVE IT! HAVE WHAT? Why, at 824 Central Ave. ANDERSON BROS. & W. H.

Cothran, Minister Two powerful sermons were brought to our hearing Sunday by the pastor. Morning sermon subject, "The Transformed Life." Rom. 12:2. "And be not fashioned according to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God." Paul says in another place that we all with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of God, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory. This transformed life is possible only when Christ is made our ideal. Preaching next Lord's day at 11 a. m. Subject, "The Love of God." $ p. m. subject, "The Wrath of God." All are cordially invited. PHILLIPS CHAPEL C. M. E. CHURCH 1406 Newton St. Rev. J. C. Anderson, Pastor Two splendid services were enjoyed at this Church on the past Lord's day. The congregation was favored with a sermon at the morning hour by Rev. R. C. Akridge. The service was highly spiritual and was enjoyed by all. The pastor preached at the evening service to a very attentive and appreciative audience. The services all day were a benediction. Next Sunday promises to be a big day at this Church.

At the morning hour his subject was, "The White Horse." Rev. 6:1-2. In the evening "The Red Horse." Rev. 6:4. Both sermons were very edifying, indeed. His interpretation were so plain and practical that the most simple mind could understand them. Five accessions to membership were made. The music by the choir was up to the usual high standard. The spirit- ual fire is always burning at this Church, and a hearty welcome is extended to all. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Corner 8th and Towne Ave. Rev. J.

The pastor is kindly asking on this day of every member and friend who is able and willing to give one dollar. "Dollar Money," which is contributed each year as the "benevolent claim" that sustains and supports the great African Methodist Episcopal Church. Remember that every dollar of this money paid, adds speed to the ship that bears the gospel messenger to distant lands to proclaim the Word. Also the members and friends who pay it, bears his and her part of lifting up the millions identified with the masses of the race. WESLEY M. E. CHURCH 8th and San Julian Sts. Rev. A. P.

Election Sunday, July 7th. TAXI DRIVERS AND We were called up this week by the Colored Taxi and Auto men and complaint made of the fact that our public men were prone to overlook the fact that race men are abundantly able to render all taxi and auto service to please even the most fastidious, and that when our eminent men and women come to town and want such service, that it looks bad that in the face of all these who are waiting, willing and ready to serve you, that you come rolling up with a driver of another race, one that does not contribute to the building of your Church, Lodge or business enterprise. The taxi men and auto men ask that you wake up. They are with you, even unto the end. A CALL. The call is out. Young women are answering. A Young Women's Christian Association in all that one stands for, for our girls, is the demand. From the original committee of seven, after two meetings, there are now twenty-three. Young Christian representatives from six Churches, clamoring for the work which is theirs. At the California Eagle office on Thursday afternoon, the enthusiasm and earnestness of purpose ran high. Young women pledged themselves to the work for the good of their race and community. Now the call is to every Christian woman, regardless of creed and doctrine, to come and hear what there is to be done and to roll up sleeves and go to it. Every pastor and social worker is urged to boost the movement. Monday evening, July 8th, at 8 p.m., there will be a meeting held by the committee at the Y. M. C. A., 9th and Hemlock. Every young Christian woman in the movement is urged to be present. FORUM ADJOURNS Leapt Sunday the Forum was packed from pit to dome with a soothing crowd of people. The magnet which brought them forth was the annual election of officers, and owing to the fact that J. W. Coleman had made such a determined effort to go over the top, the people came to see if he really could turn the trick. Coleman in an unique way had advertised that there was a machine as well as a steam roller, and that if they would elect him, both of those implements would be shipped up Salt Creek. The body was called to ordr by the President, S. Oliver. After reading of the current topics, Rev. A. P. Shaw was designated President pro tem to conduct the election. After quite a time wrangling as to who was eligible to vote, the eligibles were called to the front, but such confusion ensued in getting them straightened out to vote that at times one could not hear himself, and finally a motion, unintelligible to most of the members, was carried to adjourn until next Sunday, at which time the election will probably come off. The orators all had their inning on Sunday and no limit was made to nominating speeches, and each man championed his candidate's cause to his heart's content; likewise those who seconded, the same. The following were nominated for President: J. W. Coleman, Capt. F. H. Crumley, S. Oliver. It is almost certain that no choice could have been made on the first ballot. So on next Sunday a President will be balloted for and possibly elected. --- On account of not being able to get our cuts all made, we had to defer our 1918 graduation number until next issue.

Indeed it seems that there are some among us who believe this paradox possible. For the last 26 years I have been a Negro, and during all that time I have not "passed" or attempted to "pass" as white, or anything else than a Negro, either for business or social reasons. My color, features, and hair are characteristically Negro, and my name is one common to the Negro race. For these reasons and chiefly because I am proud that I am a Negro, do I strenuously resent the efforts of some of my competitors in business to infer that I am white, for I own exclusively and control the Drug Store at 1121 Central Avenue, formerly Prentices' but now JOHNSON'S PHARMACY. The 4th Reciprocity meeting of the Southern Division of the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs was held at the Sojourner Truth Home Friday, the 21st, with Mrs. Lulu Slaughter, its Vice-President, presiding. At 11 o'clock the executive board met in an interesting meeting, listening to reports from other sections of the State, and perfecting plans for the coming State Federation which meets in Los Angeles July 23, 24, 25. The afternoon session consisted of reports from the various Clubs of their last quarter's work. Bright smiles and faces told that every woman had done with her might what her heart and hand found to do, and some most excellent reports were heard. Mrs. Viola Hubbard, chairman of Exchange, reported much success, with receipts of $163.75. Through our superintendent of juvenile work, Mrs. B. C. Offutt, and Mrs. Morgan Robinson, policewoman, a girl from Juvenile Hall was sent to Tuskegee Institute. Mrs. Teat of Pasadena interspersed the meeting with music. Mrs. Clara Hulbert, in her characteristic and eloquent manner, presented Mrs. Minnie Bate, 7th Honorary President of the State Federation, with a beautiful pin. A pin is presented to each retiring president by the Federation. Mrs. Bate accepted the pin in a few well chosen remarks. Mrs. McMickens, chairman of Reciprocity, presented a paper by Mrs. Kegler of the Tabernacle Art Club. Instrumental solo, Miss Artimese Moses of Pasadena.

The Germans attempted a raid in that sector, but were completely repulsed by the Negroes. The Boches began a terrible bombardment at one minute after midnight, throwing over between 3000 and 4000 shells from guns ranging in size from 67 to 340 millioneters. Many of the shells made holes from ten to fifteen feet across. In the midst of this inferno, the Negroes coolly stuck to their posts operating machine guns and automatic rifles, and keeping up such a steady barrage that the German infantry failed to penetrate the American lines.

Jivious Jater, left Wednesday night for Los Angeles in their touring car, to spend the 4th of July. Mrs. A. L. Brown and Miss Lena Mason were the house guests of Mrs. Lyric Busby on last Saturday. We have quite a number of people in San Diego who have run from the valley heat. Among the number are Mr. and Mrs. Mason, Mr. J Wilson, Mrs. Davison, Mrs. V. Brown and Mrs. V. L. Jones, Mr. C. Johnson and Mr. H. Lee. Mrs. Annie Spencer passed thru San Diego enroute to Los Angeles on Tuesday. Mr. Joe Robinson, Mrs. Edwards and little daughter, and Miss Carrie Robinson returned from a camping trip in Yosemite Valley. They report a good time. Rev. F. W. Cooper was in San Diego and preached the Paint Club Rally sermon at 3 o'clock, and then preached again in the evening. Those who missed either of these sermons certainly missed a treat. The rally was a glorious success. The Paint Club went over the top. The amount raised was $170, and that without an effort. All Churches in the city were well represented and donated liberally. We thank all of our many friends who came so readily to our call in a time of need. A program was also rendered. The solo rendered by Prof. C. A. Heath, and one by Mrs. Estella Jackson of Seattle, Wash., was of such texture that they will long be remembered by those who hear dthem. We also thank the A. M. E. Methodist Choir, who so beautifully rendered the song service. A paper on "Giving" was read by Mrs. M. A. Hayden, which inspired many to bring up their silver dollar. Again we thank one and all for their liberal contributions. Mrs. Jno. Langley is on the sick list this week. Mr. and Mrs. J. Carr entertained in honor of Mrs. Estella Jackson of Seattle, Wash., on last Wednesday at their home, 264 12th Street.

D., the subject of this cut, closes a revival at San Diego and plans another great campaign to be announced later. Rev. Mr. Arline will preach and administer the Lord's Supper at Mt. (Afro-American Press Association.) Foremost among the large number of well educated young men of expedition and healthy moral stamina to whom the race must look for adequate representation, advice and guidance at times like the present, is Dean William Pickens of Morgan College, Baltimore. Professor Pickens stands upon an eminence in preparation and scholarship which overlocks several years of diligent effort on the part of a well qualified man who has done yeoman service for racial advancement. From this height he has caught the vision of racial struggle, need and human justice for which we are striving. He knows our handicap and is striving in schoolroom and upon the public platform to assist in the amelioration of the unnatural conditions through which the race is groping its way. Practically setting aside leisure from education work and home comforts, he is spending the time assisting in the many movements extant for the opening of larger opportunities for the masses of the people. --- M. T. LAWS Asst. Mgr. I. Jivious Jater and Beauregard Jater, were also at the party. Cards and other games were indulged in, aud at a late hour refreshments were served. Covers were laid for ten.

Goodwin Wednesday night, it being her thirty-fourth birthday. Many nice tokens of remembrance were received. As reporter of the California Eagle and as one who believes in giving justice to whom justice is due, we would like to mention again about the 19th of June picnic given at Mission Cliff Gardens by the Texas Club. The utmost credit and appreciation is duet the mistress of ceremony (Mrs. L. A. Jones), who made the Texas picnic a grand success by her untiring efforts in getting up the splendid program. Mr. Albert L. Slater wishes to thank the many friends for their kind hospitality shown his sister, Mrs. Estella Jackson, during her stay in San Diego. Rev C. Williams, pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, is making every effort and arranging many plans in order to take care of the large delegation, which is planned to attend the Western Baptist Association in August.

The evangelist will be glad on his return to see a good representation of his many friends in Los Angeles and Pasadena at the services Sunday at Mt. Zion. New York Globe, New York City: COLOR THAT WILL NOT RUN: There is truth and not a little humor in the remarks Dean William Pickens of Morgan University made at the benefit for Negro troops in the Thirty-ninth street Theater. He reefred to the color of the Negro troops - as "safe." and added that the record of the Fifty-fourth, Massachusetts regiment of Negroes in the Civil War and the Tenth Cavalry in Mexico recently, showed that "our color will not run." These remarks and the spirit which lies behind them ought to give pause to those white citizens who are disposed to let an outworn racial prejudice blind them to the splendid service which colored men are rendering their country in the army and outside it, the devotion with which they have enlisted and offered their lives and fortunes. Truly, it seems that our negro citizens must ever win their freedom anew; in this war perhaps their right to be rree o ifnsuit and humilitating distinctions between themselves and their white efflow citizens. --- Happiness Thrift leads to it, The recent Liberty Bond drives have made many a hostor of its first real results, at prosperity and happiness.

She was on her way to San Jose to visit her mother. A spud nine inches in length and seven inches in circumference, product of two months' growth, is the weight shot which the Rev. H. B. Thomas, pastor of the colored Baptist Church, fires at the Kaiser. Eight weeks ago the clergyman planted his seed potatoes, and today he is harvesting the crop on his East Gutierrez street lots. They are big and firm, and absolutely free of blemish. "I am urging all our people to a farm work. The more we can produce from the soil, the more we release for our armies in those our associate nations in this war. Ay to my folks, 'let us get in an produce what we need, and you'll find that the colored people of ita Barbara are doing their bit in this regard.'" Rev. Thomas is emplied during the day at the State Noal. He is a manual training school graduate of the South, and theore can do many things to make oneself useful at the school on thell, and after his day's work he is in his spare moments farming. He has the church lot in vegetables, and it is so that this is the only Church lot; this section of the State where a practical appeal for conservation and production is given ocular constriction. The above title was published by one of the olding papers of Santa Barbara; after the editor had looked over the gain and measured the wonderful fit, which is only one of the many arieties of vegetables there. The Molive Church is surely doing its bit not only for the war but in everyday.
