Some Nineteen Hundred and Eighteen Graduates --- ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 4485 VOLUME 31 1930 W. E. EASTON, MEMBER OF GOV- ERNMENT'S GALAXY OF SPEAKERS, ELECTRRI- FIES PASADENA AUDIENCE. Under the able leadership of Rev. L. G. Robinson, the Negroes of Pasadena did themselves proud last Sunday evening in Scott's M. E. Church, when every one of their large and prosperous congregations represented, filled the auditorium of that Church, to receive from the eloquent lips of their own representative in the Bureau of Public Information of the War Department a more thorough knowledge of the war aims of their Government and what this war for world's Democracy meant in an especial manner for them. Mr. W. E. Easton was the messenger, and for an hour or more held the attention and the interest of his large and intelligent audience from start to finish. In the pulpit were the pastors of the colored Churches of Pasadena, and other representative men of the race, including Rev. W. H. Tillman, pastor of Friendship Baptist Church, who was represented by Rev. L. G. Robinson, pastor of Scott's Chapel, as the master of ceremonies of the occasion, Revs. S. B. Danley, Shipley, and others, including Rev. William Prince of the A. M. E. Church. The choir was representative of all the colored choirs in the city of Pasadena, and the airs, sang most beautifully, were principally patriotic, including the "Star Spangled Banner," "America," and led by Captain William Reynolds, in a stirring manner, "The Flag Shall Never Touch the Ground Boys." Professor H. D. Greer, choir master of the Second Baptist Church of Los Angeles, favored the large audience with a beautiful song selection and was generously applauded. Rev. Tillman in presenting the speaker of the occasion delivered himself a masterly tribute to the true spirit of the Americanism of the Colored Race; spoke fittingly of his love for his country and told of the occasion of the meeting. Among other things he said: "The Colored Race in Pasadena through the various pulpits were duly notified to be present to day to receive from the word of mouth of an accredited representative of the War Department of the Government not only a knowledge of the war aims of the United States in this great world's war, but also to learn what their especial appeal to the wants of the Negro in American citizenship, in other words we are here for the purpose of learning the benefits we will directly receive. The speaker, William E. Easton, is known to us as author of race books, an able publicist, a lover of his race and country and a man fully capable of giving us the satisfaction we derive from mths great meeting today." Thus tactfully, the Rev. Tillman kindly outlined what was expected of the official speaker of the day. Without any preliminaries, Mr. Easton first launched into the subject before him. "The eloquent gentleman who has presented me has not only given me my text, he has come nigh making my speech for me. You are here, I learn, to be told in what especial manner this world's war should appeal to your better judgment, to your unquestioned loyalty, and I am here to tell you. We are all American citizens, and the same appeal made to you should be made to all Americans. We are in this war for self-protection; for the protection of free institutions; for the protection of the American rights to the high seas; for the protection of our The California Eagle homes from foreign invasion and for the honor and good name of our common country. This is not the red man, the brown man, yellow man, black man, nor the white man's war; it is the great war of men of all race varieties and colors that are representative of American citizenship; men who thirst for liberty, who must have liberty and who will have liberty at any cost. Our Allies in this war are those nations who have the same ideals as we. "On the side of our Allies in this war are the brown Japanese, the black Turcos and the Singalese, the dark-skinned colonials of Jamica, of British South Africa, of French Guiana, the swarthy skinned Indian, side by side with races of Caucasian blood, all opposing the armies of the autocrat of Germany and his emissaries, who are engaged in a most barbarous warfare for the sole purpose of self-aggrandizement and the deprivation of right of self-government to the rest of the world. "In what manner have we a distinct message that this war is our war? "Since we have embarked in this great venture, the Supreme Court has passed favorably on our civil rights under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution; President Wilson himself in public print has spoken strong words of commendation of the race both as a civilian and a soldier. General Pershing on two occasions has rendered his Communique applauding the bravery of the black troops; the appointment of an adviser of this race to the War Department, Hon. E. J. Scott, as a guarantee that the race will receive due credit and every opportunity in time for his full manhood rights in American citizenship for which he has striven for years." The speaker then proceeded to pay a very high tribute to the sterling worth and devotion of Mr. Scott, who averred he had intimately known for thirty years, and he named him the official leader of the 12,000,000 Negroes of these United States. The speaker's elequent address closed as follows: "Every American citizen, be he of whatever race, creed or national derivation, should be a warm supporter of the United States in this great war for world's Democracy, and no citizen more so than the American Negro. "To him in an especial manner an appeal to arms should possess all of the qualities of a command. "The same spirit of patriotism that actuated him to become a collossal figure in the Civil War resulted in the manumission of 4,000,000 of his brethren, again should actuate him in a war equally as holy and more sweeping in its results for human freedom. "There can be no world Democracy which does not include the races of darker integument; there can be no world Democracy that falls to affect favorably the present status of the Negro in the American sun; this is so logical that to deny, or combat it, would be irrational; and when peace is attained by the Allies, will be its best argument for the perpetuation of a world Democracy. for which they fought and won. "Out of this war will come new conditions, new lines of thought and a new spiritual direction. "Every soldier who has been abroad fighting for human liberty; who in the presence of death, communed with his soul, and who has survived this great struggle for a world's Democracy, will return to his country a missionary for new conditions of faith and practice. "There shall be no excuse, no shame for Democracy charged with race discrimination; no carping criticism; no finger of scorn pointed us by the Central Powers when we lay claim to an exemplary Democracy for all the world. "The world will be better because of this war, and if the white American be first to fill the trenches; first to sail beneath the seas, and first to soar through the starry night, it is not because the black man was reluctant, but because of restricted opportunity, and God takes cognizance of all these things. "This war is educational; it has the conscience of men in training; it is drawing men closer to God and closer to each other, and when such times come, He sees fit to give us San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, JULY 13, 1918 peace, it will be a lasting and universal peace." Throughout his address the speaker was frequently interrupted by aplause, and after his address Rev. Danley expressed himself as well pleased and well instructed, and said he felt, speaking for the audience, better after hearing the address. After the meeting numerous others came to the speaker and spoke similarly. Rev. L. G. Robinson, the pastor to whom credit is due for the success of the meeting, has, since the meeting, said: "The address of Mr. Easton has done great good, lasting good. He delivered an address that could be delivered with advantage in any section of this country." Rev. Tillman personally extended an invitation for him to speak at Friendship Baptist Church of Pasadena. Besides being a member of the Speakers' Division of the War Department, Mr. Easton has recently joined the Four Minute Men, and on the Fourth of July, under instruction of that division of mobilizers of public opinion, read the President's war message to a great gathering on the Violet Street Playgrounds. P. E. ALEXANDER Retiring C. G. M. Knights of Tabor who made an enviable record in that position. Sydney P.

This makes six houses sold to different individuals since Monday, July 8th. Some may wonder how I do it. I just simply find my clients what they want, where they want it, and at a price less than they expected, and make terms to suit them, and the deal is closed. I do not believe in enticing anyone. I have no time to worry anyone to buy, but to those who appreciate honest and consciencious service, I guarantee you will be surprised at what bargains I have, and I make terms to suit you.

OUR 1918 GRADUATES With a population of about 30,000 we should have a greater representation in the graduation classes of the city than we have, but we present to those who might well be classed as slackers, those who went over the top this year. Miss Hazel Theodora Gottschalk, who graduated from the Los Angeles High School on the evening of June 9, is one of Los Angeles' most promising young ladies. Miss Gottschalk has been a very deligent student, and promises to be one of the city's best musicians and literary students. The Eagle has known this young girl since she first came to Los Angeles, and is looking forward to future success with no small degree of interest. Miss Yolande McCullough, who is a graduate of the State Normal, is another fair promise of the race. Miss McCullough has been recently appointed teacher in the El Centro School, of which our own Miss G. Chrishman is principal, and because of natural aptitude for a teacher and her sunny disposition, we predict for her great success in that field. A. Janie D. Catley, president of the St. Home Church, graduated from the Compton Union High School June, 1918. She will enter L. A. State Normal in September. Miss Louise Cooksey, age 19 years, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Cooksey, 11246 Birch St., is a graduate of L. A. H. S., '18. Miss Cooksey will attend the State Normal in the fall. MISS MYRTLE ANDERSON "Deliverance of the Captive" at Independence Church, Sunday evening. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH HOLDS Last Quarterly Conference for the Conference Year. The last quarterly Conference for the year was held at the 1st Church, corner 8th and Towne Avenue, on Tuesday evening, and was presided over by the presiding elder, Rev J. H. Wilson. All departments of the Church reported a commendable progress, both spiritually and financially, with a debtless Church, and hundreds of additions. They truly, with much fervor, could say, "The Colored Church is moving on." Los Angeles, Cal., July 9th, 1918. Rev J. H. Wilson, Presiding Elder First A. M. E. Church: We, the undersigned, petition thru you to the Annual Conference for the return of Rev J. Logan Craw, and this petition is urging Bishop H. B. Parks of the Fifth Episcopal District to return Rev J. Logan Craw to the pastorate of the First A. M. E. Church. The record of the pastor of this Church has been remarkable, and no minister has served us with more faithfulness and success and fidelity than Dr. Craw has, and in order that he may be returned to this Church, we submit the following: Whereas, The Rev. J. Logan Craw came to us and found us in a very bad condition at the time, but as a Christian minister he took charge of the work in the name of our blessed Lord, went to work, and when he saw that the work was great he did not complain, but put his trust in the Lord, who never fails, and we are truly glad to say that today the Church has never been in a better condition than it is at present. We further petition that Whereas, the Pastor has added more members to the Church than any one else in the same length of time, has raised more money at any one time above all previous years, we present this great First A. M. E. Church to you in a flourishing condition, both spiritually and financially. The Rev. J. Logan Craw is not only a great worker financially, but a gospel minister and an educated man, eloquent and logical, and his beautiful Christian life demands the highest respect of all the members of the Church and the community. We trust that you will hear our petition and act favorably upon it if you deem it for the best interest of this our Zion. Here are some of the great works that this pastor has accomplished since our last Annual Conference: Has paid the Church out of debt; the Church now stands clear, and has been beautified both inside and out, and one of the greatest revivals ever held in this Church and with great success; more members have been added to the Church this year than ever before during any one Conference year. We feel that this dear pastor ought to be sent back to us for that grand work that he has done, with the assistance of his dearly beloved wife. Truly, Mrs. Craw has helped wonderfully to carry on this grand work, and God has wonderfully blessed Rev. and Mrs. Craw this Conference year. We do not think that too much can be said of this great man of God and his dear companion. They have accomplished a great work with the young people in this city, and the old THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN NUMBER 22 and young both love them, and we feel satisfied that if Dr. Craw is sent back to this charge that he will continue to carry on this great work of God. Yours in His Name, Chas. Martinez, Pres. A. W. Wilson, Secy. G. M. Warner, Treas. H. F. Posey, Frank Williams, S. Johnson, Wm. Conner, Stewards. The Associated Committees, representing the Los Angeles branch of the N. A. A. C. P., the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance of Los Angeles, the Colored Nurses Alumni Association of Los Angeles, Los Angeles Ministers' Union, the Sojourner Truth Industrial Club, the Woman's Day Nursery, the Physicians', Druggists' and Dentists' Association, the All-American League, the Republican Protective League, the Southern Section of the California State Federation of Coloree, Women's Clubs and the Texas State Association, will meet on Tuesday evening, July 16th, at St. Phillips Episcopal Church, 1527 Paloma Avenue, at 8 o'clock. These organizations, led by the National Association, are making an effort to secure admission for our girls to the Nurses' Training School at the County Hospital. If they are successful, it will help serve a pressing problem, "What Can Our Girl Graduate Do?" A large and fruitful opportunity lies here. This will be the final meeting before the petition is heard by the Board of Supervisors, and the reports of the various committees will doubtless prove interesting and instructive. 1309 W. 35th Place, beautiful home just purchased by Mr. and Mrs. John Jackson, who now reside at 1632 W. 35th Street.

Partial reports were received from the delegates to the Convention at Watts. Our mes- sengers are more than ever showing interest in the things they engage to do. The reports showed great atten- tion to all that transpired at the Con- vention, and the concern the various agents took in mgtters affecting the interest of the Churches.

McElroy Stovall, Minister Last Sunday being “Rally Day” at our Church, a goodly number came out wearing eager faces, seemingly wondering what would be the out- come in this drive for $500. The rally, considering the membership and present conditions, came fully up to expectations. The pastor, Dr. Sto- vall, chose for his text, “Greater love has no man than this, that he would lay down his life for his friends.” It was well chosen during these days of stress and strife. The audience was thrilled and transported by his word-plcture of the love of Damon and Pythias. All eyes were riveted on the speaker. and many wonderea if such could have been. The climax was reached with a soul-stirring hymn, and many faces were bathed in tears. Next Sunday Rev. W. J. J. Byers, a former pastor, will be down on a visit from San Jose, and will probably speak for us. It is expected that as many of his friends, as well as the men- bers, will be out to greet him.

In the evening a magnificient au dience greeted Prof. Kely Miller. who spoke on the subject, “The Kingdom Come.” Typical of his lec. tures, the sermon he delivered or this occasion was wonderfully in. structive and, filled with practical and helpful suggestions. ‘The musical feature of the day was a very brililant yocal selection by Miss Johnson, a sister to Prof. Thom- as Johnson. The audience was charmed by her beautiful sopranc voice. Next Sunday promises to be anoth- er great day; the pastor will continue his series of sermons, this time using for his subject, “The Pale Horse.” In the evening Miss Myrtle Ander. son, California's greatest womar orator, will deliver an address.

Gothran, Minister ~ All who heard received a blessing. Subject, “The Love of God.” " Gba's love is quite expressive for humanity in the air we breathe, the many sights wo see, the wonderful ‘yous: tains which cause our hearts to won- der, the sweet songs of the birds that make us happy; all this is for our joy and pleasure because God loves us. All these wonderful blessings are demonstrations of God's love, and should contain our hearts to him. There are two considerations in our subject. the objective and the subjective. When we think of man’s Jove, we think of it objectively; man ‘is the object of God's love. | God is not selfish; he loves the sin- ner and those who do not love Him He blesses the infidel and the mur- derer; all receive a reasonable por. tion of His blessings. God has given Himself in His revelation. The expression of God’: love was in the giving of something, and that was the very best He had God loved and He gave. It we love Him we will give Him our lives and service. No man lives to himselt or does to himself. Some say God ts too good anc loves us too well to let us suffer -ir hell, and that is true. God does not want us to suffer, and if we do it i because of our ‘own neglect ‘and re fusal of His redeeming grace, mercy and love. through Jesus Christ Our Lord God wants us to go to heaven, but He has a way by which we may reach there; which is suffering and tribu- lations, because it worketh patience and hope, and hope maketh not ashamed. The way to heaven is ont of tribulation, but these shall not separate us from thé love of God. Evening subject, “Contrast tc God's Love.” The wrath of God shows us both sides of our Master: He will love and hate; He will exal and He will cast down; He will re ward and He will punish; not by Hi will but according to your choice. I is not consistent to supopse there i a heaven without a hell; one is sug gestive of the other, The parable o! the rich man and Lazarug,.I think, f sufficient for us. | Preaching next Lord’s day at 11 a.m. Subject, “What Think Ye o1 Chrigts”” 8 p. m., “Light from Dark ness’ All welcome.

Owing to a condition over which we had no control, having been forced upon our nation, after having employed and exhausted every honorable means by which to arrive at an agreeable adjustment of a condition destined to destroy the fundamental principles upon which our national life is based, viz: all men are created equal, endowed with inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, found it necessary to take up arms against a foe who is within, as well as without, our country. If these principles, so near and dear to the heart of every true American, are to be maintained, it is indispensably essential that we, as loyal Americans, re-covenant, re-unite, put aside all political differeneces, all racial prejudices, all personal ambitions, in order to concentrate our energies upon the things essential to the achievement of victory and the perpetuation of these sacred principles which the entire world will eventually accept. Hence this organization, to be known as the United Loyal Americans, the purposes of which are: 1st. To overthrow the tyranny of Autocracy and establish the principles of Democracy. 2d. To cement a closer bond of unity among the American peoples. 3c. To conserve and utilize our natural and artificial resources. 4th. The United Loyal Americans is a strictly humanitarian organization seeking the betterment of humanity in every walk of life. 5th. The United Loyal Americans will endorse only such men and measures as fulfill requirements of this organization. We, therefore, in the spirit of true brotherhood, ask the moral and financial psuport of all loyal Americans in the extension of this movement for the salvation of the peoples through the establishment of universal peace with honor to the glory of God.

At the plate of each was placed a most unique favor, being a small key holding a message to each young lady, but which she could not read until after she had told a short story. Very amusing narrations were given. But of course everyone was a bit disappointed, as in these days of war-brides, one is always expecting another to be added to the list. Four prizes were awarded for best stories: to Mrs. Rose Tillman, Misses Marjorie Danley, Gladys Harris and Mary Perry. Vocal and instrumental music was given during the afternoon by different young ladies present. Covers were laid for the following twenty young ladies: Mesdames Cornellus, Tillman, Wilbur T. Randolph, John Southern, Misses Ruth and Margaret Prince, Estelle Harts, Marjorie Danley, Mary Perry, Francell King, Edith Miller, Marguerite Ransom, Sharnette Boyce, Susie Anderson, Bessie Anderson, Lila Cook, Mabel and Gladys Harris, Josephine Brown, Violet Collins and Marie Ford. The Daily Vacation Bible School opened Monday morning at the Friendship Baptist Church with an enrollment of fifty pupils, in charge of four teachers. All are race pupils, with two of the teachers also, Misses Ruth Prince and Estelle Harts. Miss Prince is directing the music and teaching the older girls sewing, while Miss Harts is pianist and teaches hand-work, such as basket making, clay modeling, etc., to the smaller girls and boys. Miss Allcutt has the kindergartens, assisted by Mrs. Alberta Fields. Mr. Widney, the principal, teaches the larger boys sloyd. The work is progressing very nicely and we only hope it will improve each day. Many Pasadenans were delegates to the Eleventh Annual District Convention held last week with the Macedonia.Baptist Church in Watts. All report an intertensing and enjoyable meeting. There were many anxious hearts Tuesday night when the P. E. strike was on, as scores of our people were attending the lecture by Miss Mary G. Evans in Los Angeles. Motor vehicles of all kinds were pressed into immediate service in an effort to enable all to return home who were anxious to get back to Pasadena. Mrs. Georgia Weatherton had a few ladies to assemble at her home on South Fair Oaks Avenue for a quiet hour of prayer for the boys over there.

From the results of the terrible typhoid scourge which has been raging for more than two months in the family of Mr. Walter J. Simson, death has claimed its second victim within a month, when on Wednesday, the 3rd inst., little seven-year-old Eleanor Simson, the jewel of the family, was called by the great Reaper. The family consists of eleven, only three having escaped the affliction so far. Three members of the family are still confined to bed. DOINGS AT STOCKTON The lawn party given at Mr. and Mrs. Will Boyden's last week was quite a success. The lawn was beautifully decorated with red, white and blue lights, and plenty of seats for the guests. Refreshments were served from different booths which were artistically decorated for the occasion. There was a very good program and everyone enjoyed themselves very much. The picnic given by the Second Baptist Church Sunday School last week was well attended. The annual sermon of the Masonic Lodge was preached by Rev.Triggs at the A. M. E. Church June 23. The Odd Fellows preached their annual sermon at the same place June 16. Each one was well attended. The picnic at Wilton Grove July 4 was well represented by Stockton people. On their return there was a dance given at Ruhl Hall by Mrs. Hattie Stewart, which was well attended as well as very much enjoyed. The colored boys of the Holt Manufacturing Co. have organized a ball team. Mr. J. Westmorland is manager. They soon will be ready to meet all comers. Mrs. Grischott and children have gone to San Francisco for several week's visit with Mr. C. H. Grischott and friends. Mr. and Mrs. Grischott were presented with a 10-pound boy about a month ago. The District Convention of the Baptist Church will be held Wednesday and Thursday of next week. There will be a layman dinner at the Second Baptist Church Thursday, July 11. The feature of the dinner will be for each gentleman to take a lady to eat and pay at the rate of 1-2 cent a pound of her weight. Mr. M. Pratt, Mr. J. Jackson and T. Simpson were in San Francisco for a few days. Mr. Leland Hart died and was buried two weeks ago. He leaves a wife, three sisters and three brothers to mourn his loss. The ladies of the A. M. E.

Kingsbury and daughter, Miss Andrey Wall of Houcut, spent a delightful time on the ranch of Mr. T. Smith July 4. A most delicious lunch was served, after all those who could swim went in the water and had a fine time. POLITICAL POT PIE. J. W. De Yoe, Republican candidate from the 62d Assembly District, which takes in Venice, Redondo, Ocean Park and Santa Monica, will indeed make a worthy member of the Assembly, and for the great masses will be a strong advocate. We move to make his nomination and election unanimous. The more they knock Johnny Cline's candidacy, the stronger he gets. Such ranacuboo stuff as the Record is always pulling off is destined to help the man whom they are endeavoring to assassinate. Frank Mouser has always been on easy terms with the plain everyday common people, and that is the secret of his strength in the Senatorial district which he aspires to represent. A rumor that will not down is out to the effect that there will be a strong dark horse entered in the great handicap for the Assembly in the 74th Assembly District before the flag falls on the 18th inst. W. C. Mushet for Congress is making great strides in the Ninth District. Really a good old-time Republican would look good to represent the people of that district. Chas. W. Lyons, who will without doubt represent his district in the Senate for the next four years, will be a valuable acquisition to that august body. William Vacher was much in evidence shaking hands with the voters at the big picnic at Rose Hill Park on the 4th. Peter Phillips, who is asking, for a seat in the Upper House of the next Legislature, was through the district this week shaking hands with the voters. Billy Greenwood is a hustler from way back, and in the 74th Assembly District the man who beats him will know that he has been in a race. To the Many Citizens of My Race in the City of Los Angeles. Greetings:—Loyalty: even ranks with ability, and this race must show that we are loyal to our country and to our neighbor. This is not a one man's job. This is the nation's job; give us your support and this American Women's Hospital will go on to success, and these United States, to victory, defying all that threatens Democracy and freedom. The Stars and Stripes were never in an unjust war and were never defeated and never will be. The Negro was never in an unjust war and was never defeated, and if we work together he never will be. Our big task is to help win this war, to make this world not only safe for Democracy, but safe for the Negro. There is no State more loyal than California, and no city more loyal than Los Angeles, and no citizen more loyal than the black man. We are willing to give our lives and till we have; we are eager to do our bit and we are going over the top. Privates Johnson and Roberts have both gone over the top. They have been cited for the Croix De Guerer before the French army. They have planted our name in this new history, and we have a right and a reason to feel proud of these two race men who have shown our Allies and their race that they are loyal to the cause for which they fight, and we must be loyal to our loved ones over there, else their bloodshed will be a useless and vain sacrifice, unless we stand behind them with our work and our money. Before I close I wish to thank the various churches and business men for supporting me in this drive, and trusting that you will continue to rally to the cause and give us your support. We will help the soldier lead you to victory. (Signed)) Mrs. C. P. Williams, Pres. Colored Women's Council of Defense. To the Many Citizens of My Race in the City of Los Angeles.

Two large and appreciative audiences greeted our pastor, Dr. J. D. Gordon, Sunday, July 7th. At the morning service the audience was held spell-bound by the world-renowned orator and lecturer, Dr. Kelly Miller, Dean of Howard University. His soul mission is to uplift and to speak words to encourage the Negro race. At the evening service the Holy Ghost was present, when our pastor, Dr. Gordon, preached a soul-stirring sermon. Next Sunday, July 14th, our pastor, Dr. Gordon, will occupy the pulpit at both morning and evening service. Morning subject, "Theological Religion Versus Spiritual Religion." In the evening a special sermon will be preached. All members and friends are cordially invited to be present.

ADVERTISING ATES, SOc per inch, = Down at Santa Monica the city officials started out by showing there was nothing small about them, and recognized the efforts of the organ of a respectable part of their constituents, but the recognition was only spas- modic; they got weary and fell by the wayside. In making the injunction permanent against the striking P. E. em- ployees, Judge Bledsoe rendered a just ®pinion, and all who believe in jus- tice should appreciate the same to the utmost. for even a corporation should have a right to conduct their own business without being dictated to by a prejudiced labor union. Over in France, you know. it matters not the color of the pigment which hides the body of a man; if he does something worth while, recognition of the deed is always at hand for this reason: the hefoes of the race receive the decorations of honor and the world is so notified with first page news. LINING UP FOR THINGS POLITICAL. ‘This year the tenseness of the war situation has had a dampering ef- fect on things political, and owing to this fact, there is apt to be many mis- fits put over on’the people under the guise of patriotism; in order to cir- cumyent this possibility, it is very necessary that the seekers for political preferment should be scrutinized to the utmost, and a line-up for things po- litical that will brook no false pretense. a line-up that shall insist that none but those who are really fit shall go over the top.

This organization is made up of the plain common every=day people, no sharks, sleek gentry, or barefoot leaders are in its ranks.

No more will the spectacle of one set of men carrying out and providing for another set of men, stand: every man must by his own effort establish his worth; races must he judged by their ability to accomplish things. and the individual or class, which slacks and lags be- hind, will be considered a nuisance to humanity; therefore this is the time to get in line and start the wheel of production a-turning, in that you shall be of material help not only to yourself, but for your country, ax well KNIGHTS AND DAUGHTERS, { Angeles: P, P., W.

Presiding Elder Wilson, life acquaintance of Mother Ousley, officiated, and Rev. M Logan Craw, pastor of the Church, preached a memorial sermon. Mother Ousley was a veteran member of the Connection, and during her eventful life rendered valiant service for the Master. A large concourse of friends were out to pay their last respects. She leaves a sister and brother and a host of friends to mourn her loss. THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE CHILDREN'S PARTY. Little Miss Rosetta Davis entertained a number of her small friends Monday afternoon in honor of her third birthday, and Mrs Ruth Payne of Santa Barbara, at the home of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Chas, Hill of 1837 East Fifty-third Street. The afternoon was spent in games dear to the hearts of children. After partaking of delicious refreshments from a beautifully decorated table, the etton piece being the birthday cake bearing the three lighted candle, each happy little one went home voting Rosetta the finest hostess and the party the grandest ever given. ON THE WING. With fifty-six young women clamoring for their right to exercise their latent powers, and knowing that the work of a Y. M. C. A. gives this, among other good things, they are asking that all Christian women interested in their own welfare and that of their people, be with them on Monday evening, July 5, at the New Hope Btftpist Church, 1623 Paloma, at 9 o'clock sharp. Last chance to become a charter member of this promising great work. A wonderfully inspiring meeting was held Monday evening by the committee on promoting a Y. W. C. At at which time the committee of twenty-three was more than doubled, to fifty-six. After the next meeting doors will be closed to new-comers until after organization. All young women interested must be present Monday evening at the New Hope Baptist Church. HOW ABOUT IT? I was journeying on a car the other day on which the front-end seats were all filled. There were a few other sons of Ham in this section of the car also. To all appearances they were all, like myself, tired after a good day's work. The middle section and rear end of the same car was practically vacant, but this did not interfere with the car's course in any way. Finally, a little "clay Brown" boarded the car. Her dress looked as if it might have been made from Jacob's coat, and she wore a Fox fur around her neck, while everyone else was using a handkerchief for their neck decorations. She left some variant seats at the rear, did the same in passing thru the middle section, and then came to the front-end, and because no one "hopped" up to give her a seat, might have killed somebody if "cutting" the eye were a germ that could have turned the trick. Were the men justified in retaining their seats? How about it? I. C. TENNIS CHATTER. Miss Fern Caldwell, as we expected, is still the champion of women singles of Southern California, although Mrs. Katie Young put up a stiff argument about it and played a splendid game at Santa Monica beach on the 4th. Too bad Ballinger Kemp's ankle went bad while defending his crown from the steady and systematical Resco Broyles, 7-5, 3-6, 6-3. But Eddie Harris brought home the bacon when the ramped over Broyles, 6-3, 6-3, bringing the championship cup back to Los Angeles. Attorney Tyler and Dr. B. A. Jordan won an enormous "tin cup" in exhibition (joke) doubles, with Dr. Eugene Johnson and Attorney Clarence Jones; other scores were: Maloney defeated Cornellus, 6-4, 6-2; P. Williams defeated Prosper, default; Davis defeated Oliver, 6-4, 6-2; McNeal defeated C. Williams, 6-2; 6-0; Harris defeated Maloney, 6-1, 6-0; P. Williams defeated Davis, 10-8, 1-6, 6-2; Broyles defeated McNeal, 6-2, 6-3; Broyles defeated P. Williams, 6-2, 6-2. Get ready for the Labor Day games. --- SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY FARMERS Pass Through City En Route to Lower California on Tour of Inspection. On last Friday there arrived in the city from Fowler and Boles a delegation of leading farmers of that section, who have already qualified as real producers and who are among the most prosperous citizens of this great state, but hearing of the wonderful opportunity offered by way of soil in Lower California, in their high-powered cars they left the city Monday to inspect these lands for themselves, and if found as represented, they will grasp the opportunity afforded. They will spend several days on the lands, and the people anxiously await their verdict. The following comprised the party, which was accompanied by H. E. Macbeth and T. W. Troy, C. E. Orr, W. W. Eason, J. Ellard, I. M. Young, J. E. Abernathy, Mr. Patriick, W. Green, and others. In the same simple environment of his life, was the last sad rites performed over the remains of Alford Gary at the 5th and Towne Street Church on last Tuesday at 1 o'clock. A vast concourse of friends were present to pay their last respects, and there were many beautiful floral offerings. The Rev. Dr. J. Logan Craw spoke most beautifully of the life and character of the deceased, while the choir furnished special music. The following oituary is a simple statement of his earthly career: Mr. Alford Gary was born September 22, 1848, in Bayou Siera, (Serah), La. He departed this life at 2 o'clock a. m., July 1th, 1918, in the city of Los Angeles, Cal. When quite a small boy he went to live in Texas, where he remained until he was about 39 years of age. He then removed to California, where he resided the balance of his life. He was married to Miss Ellen Wright in 1869 forming a union which lasted 49 years. To them were born three children, of whom Mr. George Gary is the last to survive. Mr. Gary was a most devoted husband, father and friend. Uncompromising in contending for the right in all matters. Yet in manners, as gentle as a lamb. He was an earnest member of the First A. M. E. Church, Court Solomon, Foresters and of Golden West Lodge, United Brothers of Friendship. He made no especial effort to win the esteem of people, yet he appeared to be loved and respected by all with whom he came in contact. He did not admire the conventional side of life, but rather he believed in pure, simple, sincere platicon friendships. He was prompt and punctual in all matters. His every word or act was an inspiration to those who met him. HIAWATHA TO BE STAGED. The Coleridge-Taylor Music Study Club sets its date for the staging of Hiawatha, the Wedding Feast, and Minnie Haha. Music lovers of Los Angeles will be pleased to hear that the Club is ready to set the time, which will be August 26 and 27, at one of the leading theaters of the city. The Club is pleased to announce that in making this presentation at this time it has received some of Los Angeles' very best talent available, among whom is Prof. H. Douglas Greer, directing the chorus; R. S. S. Stewart in charge of a 15-piece orchestra, and Mrs. G. Murdock at the piano, and many other names that will appear in the next issue of this paper. The Club calls that it is presenting to the Los Angeles public the greatest aggregation of musical ability and one of the greatest dramatic productions that has ever been undertaken in this section, for Hiawatha is a play that even our music stars are not wont to undertake as an easy job. The S. C. M. Study Club is working hard to give to Los Angeles its very best in this presentation. Therefore all participants are urged to be present at all of our three weekly rehearsals, Monday evenings at the People's Auditorium, every Thursday evening and Sunday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. C. Hulbert, corner 20th and Hooper. Patrons and patronesses are also getting in line. MRS. C.

"And another horse came forth; a red horse: and to him that sat thereon it was given to take peace from the earth, and they should slay one another: and there was given unto him a great sword." Rev. 6-4. I have preached this text four times in my home town in Mississippi, each time, except the first, by special and urgent request. I have preached it four times in this city, and by request each time; this is the fifth time. There is a reason. It is one of the sermons of the hour. How inscrutable are the ways of Providence! His thoughts are above the thoughts of man as high as the heavens are above the earth; so are His ways above ours! For the last twenty years, more or less, men have predicted in their magazines and papers that the world would never see another great war; that men have invented such destructive implements of battle, such terrible engines of warfare that a great war could not be sustained between civilized nations. A Peace Congress has been organized at The Hague by the Czar of Russia. Nicholas II, to consider the best methods of maintaining the peace of the world, and of ameliorating the conditions of warfare. Men began to declare that all civilized nations would settle their disputes by arbitration. A Court of Arbitration was established at The Hague. A peace palace was built there. Mr. Carnegie, who despises Jesus Christ, whose divine love, death, resurrection and intercession made possible for him to make his millions, and who uses those millions to exhalt his own name instead of the Savior's, endowed the world peace movement with $10,000,000. The noble prize was arranged for the man of influence who through the year should do the most to promote world peace. And this is how man thought to perpetuate peace and bring the millennium. MAN'S WAY, NOT GOD'S. But this was man's way of peace; not God's. God had said to Isaiah. "The wicked are like the troubled sea when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace saith my God, to the wicked." Isiah 57, 20-21. And how filly verified is the Scripture, when they shall say, "Peace --- SIX 543 12th Street Joe Robinson Will Collins, Phone Main 4011 Sunset Main 1186 Centrally Located Has large sunny rooms, baths and all conveniences! Prices: 25c, 35c, 50c, 75c and $1.00 Machine for hire at all hours 816 Central Avenue and Safety," then suddenly destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with a child. When God proclaims peace there is peace, and not before. When He takes His peace from the earth there can be no peace. Every man's hand is against his brother. Men cry, "Peace, peace, when there is no peace." Jer. 6, 14. The Scriptures gives us light on the things. What was written aforetime was written for our learning. Rom. 15, 4. But how slow we are to learn. How prone are we to lean to our understanding. Indeed, I should not be surprised if this sermon should be misunderstood, as to give me trouble; for when men are ripe for judgment they hate all but their time-serving, psychophantic prophesy. The true messenger of God is regarded as a nuisance or a menace; as a troublesome parasite; as a fanatic worth only the bread and water of affliction, or death, according as his message may seem to them fill. Nevertheless, there is light in the darkness, and the true prophet is a light bearer, though he may say uncomplimentary and unpleasant things to all. And the true prophet loves his country. He is a soldier of the Cross. What is life or popularity to the soldier while men are dying to do the will of their commander? If God has spoken who can but prophesy? Amos, 3:7-88. In this sermon I hope, by the grace of God, to give some light to the soul who feels the need of the same to guide him through the dark valley of the shadow of death. In spite of all men's prophecies and their efforts for the same, in 1914 there broke out the greatest war the world ever knew. Servia and Austria flew at each other's throats. Then came Russia to the aid of Servia; Germany to the aid of Austria, and France to the aid of Russia. Germany, taking advantage of an opportunity for which she had been forty odd years preparing, mobilized her army in twenty hours and flew at the throat of France, trampling little Belgium under foot, driving her king into a small corner of his already small dominion. England came to the aid of heroic little Belgium, and the world shook with the thunder of such cannon as had never before belched fire and death; the air was THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE SAN DIEGO filled with flame, and hell let loose upon the earth its armies "like locusts" and beckled forth its "deadly stone." John's visions was realized at last. Two million men were soon prisoners of war, suffering horrors worse than death, while death fed from them. Hundreds and hundreds of square miles became desert; nations began to know want of food. Cities were ruined, women ravished, and the elders of the cities slain, as issaiah had said would be so. GOD'S WAR. Men asked me when I went down town in my city: "Dr. what do you think of the war? How long do you think it will last? How do you think it will end? " My reply was, in spite of the prediction that six months would end it: "It will last at least five years. But as to how the war will end, there is no telling. Germany cannot win, because the world is against her, and she has Turkey fighting with her. God has decreed the downfall of Turkey. Islam must fall. But the war will not end as any of the nations decree. This is God's war, and He is going to end it in His way." "Well, Dr., do you think America will be drawn in?" "We are bound to go in. This is sure a world war. It is God's war. He is chastening the nations. Germany is His prepared rod, and when He has used her well, He is going to give her hers, as He did Babolyn and Assyria of old. Don't be uneasy about that. Men cannot mistreat their fellows without paying for it. 'He that killleth with the sword shall be killed with the sword.' Rev. 13-10. See what has happened to Belgium. Just what she meted out to the nations of the Congo, has come back to her in full measure, and then some. And what England has done to the natives of lands who rebelled against her agents, Germany is doing to her. She destroyed villages with her navies and killed women and children. Germany invented a navy of the air and destroyed her cities and kills her women and children. The hour of God's judgment is come. It is the hour of divine retribution. NOT ARMAGEDDON. They said, "Dr." do you think this is Armageddon? My reply was, "No, sirs; Armageddon will be one decisive battle, fought in the valley of Megiddo in Palestine, and in the valley of Jehosaphat. It will be the last battle of the world and will be fought, between the righteous and the wicked. This war is between nations. This war is what we see in the Revelation, 6th chapter. It is the sending out of the Red Horse and His rider. REVELATION DEALS WITH THE FUTURE. The Book of Revelation was written to show the churches of John's day; things that must shortly come to pass. And the Book of Seven Seals was not the book of redemption but the revelation of the future history of the world and of the church, to such as have ears to hear and eyes to see. We see that Christ revealed Himself as already present in the Church, as has been since the day of Pentecost. Then He sent messages to the Churches through their angels or bishops that had to do with their personal discipline. Then opening a door in heaven He said to John by His Angel, 'Come up hither and I will show you things which must be hereafter.' He then showed John a series of visions beginning with that of the Book of Seven Seals.' It was so important that the Church know what was in this Book that John wept because no man in heaven, earth or hell was found worthy to open the Book or to unloose the Seven Seals thereof. But one of the elders before the throne said to John, "Weep not for the lion of the tribe of Judah hath prevailed to open the Book and to unloose the Seven Seals thereof." So the Lamb of God, for the lion was also a lamb, took the Book and all heaven rang with His praises because He has been slain to receive power. He is the only man on earth who ever received power that way and He got All Power in heaven and in earth. And it is true that wherever the sun, Jesus shall reign. "Does His successive journney run, His Kingdom spread from shore to shore. Till moons shall wax and wane no more." THE WHITE HORSE. When the Lamb opened the first seal, the first beast of the four seen about the throne of GoGd said, "Come and see." Or as the Revised Version has it, simply, "Come," as speaking to the horse and its rider, rather than to John. There went out FOR SHERIFF James C.

The people of San Diego appreciated the coming of Prof. Kelly Miller by their presence on Monday evening at the White Temple. He brought a wonderful message to all people of this community. The minister, Rev. Belding, of the White Temple, gave him a most cordial welcome, and said that he considered it a great honor to hear Prof. Kelly Miller. The San Diegans recognize in Prof. Kelly Miller one of the race's strongest characters and deepest thinkers. A Big Crowd at Mt. Zion Sunday. Miss Myrtle Anderson, the young girl orator of Los Angeles, on last Sunday was the drawing card for a large crowd of spectators and listeners, of both young and old, at Mt. Zion Baptist Church. The aisles were crowded for standing room. Miss Anderson held this large audience spell-bound from the time she began to the end of her lecture. Her subject, "A Plea for Justice," has indeed well handled with credit by this young girl. Those who heard her lecture not only showed by their presence that they appreciated her talk, but they further showed their appreciation by putting their hands in their pockets and helping her in a financial way. Every one present bought one of her little books, besides donating liberally in the collection. The amount raised for Miss Anderson was $50. She appreciated to the highest the effort the people of San Diego put forth to help her in returning to school. Much credit is due the pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Rev. C. Williams, for his noble efforts in getting placards and other notifications before the people who responded so willingly. There will in the near future be organized a Myrtle Anderson Club in honor of her future helpfulness to the race. Mrs. Ella Ross Hutson, president of the Negro Women's Council, called the collection. The Athenian Literary and Art Club closes their club for the summer season, Thursday, July 11th. Instead of giving a closing program, they will celebrate by giving a picnic at Misison Cliff Gardens for the children in the club. They will not open again until the 2d Thursday in October. Mrs. Gertrude Hayden, president of the Athenian Club, will be sent as a delegate to the State Federation, which convenes in Los Angeles the 23d and 24th and 25th of July. a white horse and he that sat on him had a bow. And a crown was given unto him, and he went forth conquering and to conquer. That white horse was The Gospel; its rider is Christ. We see that from Revelation, 19th chapter. It also represents the host of believers; Christ's witnesses; they, too, ride white horses and have the bow and crown. They, too, are victors and overcomers of the world. John was trying, by the Spirit, to show the Churches discouraged then by Roman persecution, and those of today discouraged by materialism, false philosophy, boastful science, false religion and what not, that the Pentecostal, Holy Ghost, Christ-exalting gospel is going to conquer. And helleujah! It shall! Praise Our God forever! We feel like joining the heavenly host in the jubilations of an undying faith. We know Him. We believe Him! He hath already overcome the world. And every enemy shall be brought to his feet. They must come. The white horse shall conquer, but there are three other horses to help him. (Continued in next issue.)
