Nick Chiles Visits Washington, D. C.--Says Emmet J. Scott Only a Go-Between VOLUME 32 Nick C NICK CHILES, SAYS EMMET SCOTT, A FIGURE HEAD. The following article from the trenchant pen of the Hon. Nicodemus Chiles of the Topeka Plaindealer will no doubt give the people of the Coast an insight on how things stand in Washington, demonstrating the fact that there abundant camfoulaging at the seat of the Government. Nick Chiles is the peoples' man, he has no better sense than to tell the real conditions which exist, and the people believe what he says. He is a scraper from way back and the big guns at Washington have no terror for Nick. The article has everything in it, it shows how men, with the high sounding titles, essay to child's play when they seek the spot light, the role of Scott and Tyler, is humorously protrayed, as well as how the special Secretary keeps 'em off of Secretary Baker. HOW THE NEGRO STANDS WITH THE POWERS AT WASHINGTON. Scott and Tyler Alarmed When The Plaindealer Man Called At The White House. Colored Nurses for the Army and Other Stories are all Bosh—A Personal Talk with Secy. Baker and Mr. Tumulty. We have just returned from a trip to Washington, D. C. En route we stopped at Chicago, Gary, Ind., Detroit, Niagara Falls, Albany, New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore and a few hours at Harrisburg, Pa. We will be for sometime dwelling upon our trip and what we saw and heard and what the race is doing, the good as well as the bad. Our mission was to see the colored newspaper men in the different cities we visited and solicit their aid in helping us in strengthening the Kansas Defense Society for the Court Married Soldiers of the Twenty-fourth which organization will also take up other matters pertaining to the race from time to time. We were in a rush and therefore did not have time to visit all of the colored journals. At Chicago we visited at the office The Defending, of which, Hon. R. S. Abbott, former member of the Plain-dealer staff is editor and owner; The National Defender and Sun, Gary, Ind., our friend, Hon. J. D. Cook, editor; The Detroit Leader, Hon. W. P. Kemp, editor; The Amsterdam News, E. A. Warren, editor; New York Age, Fred R. Moore, editor; The Christian Recorder at Philadelphia, R. R. Wright, editor and also manager of the publishing house; The Afro-American at Baltimore, Col. Murphy, editor and the office of The Daisy (Baltimore) Herald, the only colored daily newspaper in the United States and the office of The Eagle at Washington, Finley Wilson, editor. We were courteously received and assured by these editors that we were on the right track and they would give us their support and make the Kansas Defense Society an organization to be supported by the colored newspapers of the country. We think the time has come when organizations of this character should be managed and conducted by colored people. We are taking the case of the thirty-nine court martialled soldiers as our initiative step and have secured attorneys who will bring proceedings in a few days to test the question a to whether or not these soldiers were fairly treated and are being legally held as we claim they were not. One of our main objects at the National Capital was to visit some of our congressmen and senators and the President, Secretary of War and Hon. William G. McAdoo, director general of railroads. We are under many obligations to Senator Curtis for making the proper arrangements for us at the White House and also at the The California Eagle War Department and Department of Justice. Arrangements were being made for us to meet Secretary McAdoo but as that gentleman was sick, we had preparations for a conference with him continued. A Talk With Mr. Tumulty. On our arrival at the White House we were ushered into the private room of the private secretary to the president. Mr. Tumulty and after a few minutes he came in and asked our wishes and when we told him that we desired to see President Wilson were informed that he was at golf so we took up our matter with Mr. Tumulty with the understanding that he was to submit it to the President for consideration. In a typewritten letter we complained to the President about the treatment of our colored soldiers on Pullmans and that they were not allowed to eat in the dining rooms of railroad trains; the discrimination against colored commissioned officers and the need of colored officers with all of our regiments for the reason that white officers do not understand colored men as they do themselves and as long as we have colored soldiers it is no more than right that they should be officered by colored men. If more colored men were commissioned and promoted there would be a better feeling among the members of the race and better fighting by our soldiers as the recognition of their merit would serve to encourage them. We also told him that we were reliably informed that of all the draft boards in the United States not a single colored man was permitted to serve as a member, and that the colored people of the country were asking that they be given colored nurses to care for our soldiers. We called his attention to the fact that our young men were barred from the marine and navy departments and never given proper consideration. We expressed our thanks for what he said to the American people in his appeal to them to stop lynching but we hoped that he would go further and ask Congress to enact a law that will make lynching a crime punishable by fine and imprisonment and providing for an indemnity to be paid to the relatives of the unfortunate person. We personally called the attention of Mr. Tumulty to the outrages perpetrated upon a commissoned colored officer en route from New York to Camp Doniphan, Okla., under orders from the War Department who was arrested and taken from a Pullman at Chickasha and fined $24 which he paid. We asked him to have this town refund the money to the officer because this soldier was on a mission for the Government and the Government also had control of the railroads at the time and no civil officer had the right to interfere with soldiers traveling under orders from the Government. His reply was, "Can this be true?" and he looked astonished. We assured him that it was a fact and he asked that we send him the particulars and he would look the matter up. Now we have already written about this matter to this department and also to the secretary of war but we shall inform Mr. Tumulty again of this henious crime against the Government and a brave colored soldier. We do not know how serious Mr. Tumulty is on outrages of this character nor how far his administration will go toward investigating the same but we shall do our duty and await results. San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, SEPTEMBER 21, 1918 ture with him: Mr. Baker is a man who seems to move on the impulse of the moment, is small in statue, weighing about 140 pounds and about five foot five inches in height. Scott and Terry Worried as to Our Scott and Tyler Worried as to Our Mission With Mr. Baker. About the time Mr. Baker was to give us an audience, in stepped Mr. Emmett J. Scott, his special assistant and Mr. Ralph Tyler, and for what purpose we do not know, but it seemed to us that they were there to see what we had to say to Mr. Baker, having been tipped by some of the "runners" in the hall that a strange colored man was about to approach the Secretary of War, and the colored contingents could not understand how a colored man unannounced and alone could have business with Secretary Baker without coming through Scott and Tyler. Mr. Scott mode the first visit alone and we met him and assured him that we would call on him after we were through with the Secretary of War. He then left and in a few minutes he returned with Mr. Tyler. Our interview with the Secretary of War was not very pleasant for him, as we not only submitted to him complaints as given in our letter to the President, but we asked him personally about the case of the commissioned officer who was arrested and fined at Chickasha, Okla., for riding in a Pullman from New York en route to Camp Doniphan under orders from his department and we would like for him to see to it that this soldier was refunded the fine he was compelled to pay. He said that he had no power to do anything, but this soldier could ask redress in the courts to which we replied that this man was in the service of the Government and his time was not his own and that it was the duty of the Secretary of War to issue a general order against discrimination of any kind against American soldiers. Such an order would put an end to all such outrages. This seemed to peeve Mr. Baker and he asked if we wished to do all of the talking. Our reply was that we merely wanted to make suggestions to help him if he desired to do the right thing by the colored soldiers. He said that all complaints concerning colored soldiers should be turned over to Mr. Scott. (This of course tickled Scott and Tyler.) We told Secretary' Baker that Mr. Scott could not issue the orders that were necessary but that it was up to the Secretary of War and in answer to this he stepped aside and handed our complaint to Mr. Scott. We bade him goodbye and called at Mr. Scott's Office to await his return in company with Mr. Tyler. On arriving, Mr. Scott joyfully asked if we heard what the Secretary of War said in reference to his authority and we-with equally as much joy asked if he heard what we said to the Secretary; and that he, Scott, knew well that these outrages against colored soldiers over the country were NOT being given proper consideration by the War Department and that he could only take these matters up with the War Department, but had no power to issue general orders which was the thing needed to put a stop to all outrages. Scott's Job Carries No Power. If the Secretary of War would give Mr. Scott authority to issue general orders against outrages that are perpetrated upon colored soldiers, then we should think Mr. Scott had a position of some worth, but as it is he is simply a sort of go-between to keep the colored people from laying on Secretary Baker, but instead they are directed to Mr. Scott, who can do no more about correcting an error than the party who makes the complaint. The case of the colored officer being fined in Oklahoma was handed to Mr. Scott before his visit to Camp Funston which was some three months ago, and he was going to turn things upside down in that case, but investigation shows that the matter is dead —forgotten by the men through whom Mr. Scott was to obtain re- dress for the humiliated army officer. Special assistant to the Secretary of War sounds big and that's all. Colored Nurses for Army Service All of this stuff that has been sent out through the colored newspapers about the desire for colored nurses is all bosh. We want to give facts. We met the lady who is at the head of this department and we questioned her in reference to colored nurses and she referred us to another officer, Col. Baldwin, in the Surgeon General's department and he informed us that the Government was organizing a trained nurse department for the instruction of white women but no colored would be admitted. He said that there was now being erected small buildings at Funston, Dodge, Grant, Dix, Taylor and Sherman for colored nurses and after these were completed the Red Cross would recommend nurses to be appointed to these places and they would probably number from seven to ten at each place making a total of fifty or sixty. He volunteered the information that a cablegram was sent to General Pershing asking if he could use colored nurses and he replied that he could not and the reason the department gives for such an answer is that there are so few colored soldiers in the different units in the French hospitals that it was unnecessary to have colored nurses, but we said it was because the French had no prejudice and treated all soldiers in their hospitals alike. The Case of Colored Doctors. We called upon Lieut. J. S. Coulter in the Surgeon General's department and inquired as to the reason our colored medical officers are not being assigned to duty after being commissioned. He replied that they were only assigned after the orders came from the adjutant general. Since the adjutant general has only assigned white men, our medical officers who have been commissioned cannot expect much encouragement. The following report was given to us in regard to colored officers in the medical department: Medical officers commissioned 356. Medical officers in service 95. Dental officers commissioned 66. Dental officers in service 33. Sanitary Corps Officers commissioned 1, recommended by authorities in France and at present serving abroad. Our advice to the colored people is to write letters to their congressmen and senators and ask that an investigation be held concerning the treatment of our soldiers, including the stedevore regiment at New Port News, Pa. We think the War Department should be asked to submit all complaints they have regarding outrages against colored soldiers to a military committee from the Senate and House for investigation. This was done in the instance of the mistreatment of white soldiers. in the hospitals by white officers who were dismissed from the service and the conditions thoroughly changed so that there are no complaints at this time but colored soldiers are complaining about indignities heaped upon them especially by Southern officers and there should be a united effort on the part of the race and the best white people to see that colored soldiers are not discriminated against and that colored commissioned officers be placed over colored soldiers and that they be promoted as they merit it. Leaders Send Out False Statements There is also something wrong with our leading colored men in Washington. There have been too many lies sent out from the seat of government concerning the advancement of nurses and soldiers which are misleading and damaging to the colored people as a whole. There are several hundred young colored girls filling out applications and making efforts to get into the trained nurse department when at the same (Continued on Page 8) Bliss Knapp, C. S. B., member of the Board of Lectureship of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts was greeted by large audiences at a number of lectures delivered in this city during the past week. He spoke substantially as follows: There is no doubt that everyone would do well to consider earnestly Paul's advice to the Thessalonians to "prove all things." It is true that one does not really believe that which he has not proved; true that only that faith which is founded on actual demonstration will survive the ordeal of human experience. Paul was not satisfied with a mere acceptance of his teaching. He well knew that, unless his statements were proved to be true beyond the possibility of a doubt, his instruction had been of no avail. So he depicts the trial of faith by which Noah was able to overcome seeming imposibilities; and Abraham could offer up Issac, believing "that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead." Throughout the ages the truth of the Word has been attested by "signs following." Although, as it is written, God "called" unto Moses, and bade him bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt, his hesitation was only overcome by two great evidences of spiritual power—the handling of the serpent, and the healing of leprosy. This manifestation of divine authority lessened his sense of personal responsibility, and assured him of the confidence of the people; for he had the explanation from God that if the people would not believe the first sign, they would believe the latter sign which indicated the power of God to heal disease. The opposition to Moses' leadership operated most actively through his sister Miriam; but when he healed her leprosy, and yet others of serpent bites, their doubts were overwhelmed by the attestation of God's protecting care. Centuries later a sign was demanded of Jesus by certain scribes and Pharisees who did not believe his testimony, and he answered, "An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas;" which is repentance. But when the messengers of John the Baptist questioned him in perfectly good faith, he said, "Go, and show John again those things which ye do hear and see: The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me." Healing Attested in Christian Science The Christian Science Church adopted a like method of answering honest injury. Our church provides a testimonial meeting where members of the congregation may bear witness to the healing power of God which they themselves have seen or experienced. They may describe cases of healing like the one which brought my own family to Christian Science. For thirteen years my mother had suffered from a difficulty said by physicians to be inflammatory rheumatism. Her joints became distorted and she gradually became a helpless cripple and a great sufferer. Finally the physicians told her that she had but a short time to live. As a last resort, we sought the aid of a Christian Science practitioner, and after two weeks' treatment, my mother regained her health; her joints were restored to their natural condition, and she enjoyed perfect health thereafter. The healing of my mother was so obvious that it could not be ignored. It was just as evident to her friends and neighbors as to herself. It convinced us that Christian Science is that Science of Christianity which Jesus demonstrated, for her healing could no more be disputed than the healing of the blind man as reported in the Gospels. To those who doubted the possibility of his healing, he replied simply, "Whereas I was blind, now I see." He could not tell how this change had been wrought, but he knew that the healing of his blindness could not be denied. Christian Science provides the explanation of that healing, and it is the purpose of this lecture to present that explanation to you. Healing Methods Contrasted ... An epidemic seldom attacks more than twenty per cent of a population. When confronted by such an epidemic, it is customary for physicians to study the cause of the calamity from a physical viewpoint,—carefully analyzing, the while, the former physical condition of every affected individual. It does not occur to them to question what made eighty per cent immune. The physician painstakingly diagnoses the disease, because he is governed by the belief that health is a condition of the flesh. He supposes it to be a personal possession, humanly circumscribed, and the body to be a kind of storage battery generating the vital current. The Christian Scientist, in such a case, studies just as thoroughly the origin of health, for it is evident to him that health and not disease is the object of his search. He knows that Jesus presented the only perfect system of healing known to men, and he taught his disciples how to restore health by starting with the proposition that God is the creator of it. Health a Divine Right When the framers of the American Constitution admitted that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are creations of God and not of man, their task was wonderfully simplified. They recognized the fact that they were not required to create any rights but simply to interpret those that were already created. The success of the instrument, the Constitution of the United States of America, depended upon the correctness of their interpretation of that which was fundamentally right. The result has been a model of democrotic government. When men are willing to concede that health, as well as life, or liberty, is a divine right, divinely bestowed upon man by his creator, they will cease to believe in, or fear, the so-called laws of health which originate in mortal opinion, and will become interpreters of that inherent right. They will cease to be autocrats in the government of their own bodies, and their health will increase in proportion to their understanding that in God we all "live, and move, and have our being." God Instructing Moses The first exhibition of healing recorded in the Bible came by looking away from the body into the true nature of God. For forty years, Moses had been governing the flocks of Jethro, his father-in-law, with autocratic power. The sign or symbol of that autocratic power was a shepherd's rod. When, by the direction of God the rod was cast down and became a serpent, Moses was afraid. He had never learned that human will was the serpent in the Garden of Eden. Nor did he understand how to gain supremacy over it. But obedience to God's command established that supremacy. That lesson enabled Moses to learn two great facts—that human will and personified sin are interchangeable, and that obedience to THE PROBLEM POPULA FOR UPON ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN divine guidance gave him the mastery over sin. The divine supremacy has been expressed in the Lord's Prayer, "Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." Doubtless Moses believed that health is a condition of the flesh, and when he thrust his hand into his bosom and withdrew it lepros, there was the evidence of his erroneous belief. The healing that followed taught him to turn from the body to find power and health in the will of God. Healing Law Discovered The power of God had been recognized for a long time, but not His healing nature. It will be remembered that long before, God had revealed Himself to Abraham as the Almighty, the one supreme, power governing the universe and man. But it was a mere abstraction. There was no mode by which human consciousness could approach this truth. Consequently ail that Abraham could do was to entertain a supreme faith in the omnipotence of God. The faith of Abraham has been referred to throughout the Bible. The works of faith continued as God said to Moses, "I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name Jehovah was I not known to them," indicating that there was more to learn about the nature of God than the one fact of His supreme power. When finally Moses discovered that the supreme power of God reaches individual human experience through law, it ceased instantly to be an abstraction and became a complete power with a well-defined mode of approach, and for this discovery of Moses that the supreme power of God reaches, to the individual human experience through law, he has been known as the law-giver. When it became known that divine power reaches individual human experience, not through any form of idolatory, not through any graven image, but through well-defined law, the secret of divine healing was disclosed. Moses could then be guided by divine intelligence, and thus heal leprosy and serpent bites with mathematical certainty and precision. The nature of God had been proved in human experience to be a power of health and purity. It reached beyond faith and appealed directly to reason and understanding. Therefore, "Acquaint now thyself, with him [that is, with God], and be at peace." One who is sick is not at peace. One who is distressed in mind or body with sin, disease or fear, not at peace. Nevertheless acquaintance with the divine nature, end one with the power of peace necessarily rules out all dis whether mental or physical in is presented in a brief the precise method of Chris ing,—acquaintance with about the nature of God. has reiterated that in her ence and Health, with K Scriptures" (p. 72), as fo personal intercommunion law is the communicator health, and harmony t humanity."

Although it was a special finance day the services were not without spiritual fervor. Pastor Greggs delivered two burning messages on the subject, "The Falling of the Walls of Jericho." Two additions to the membership roll were recorded including one convert. The choir was at its best and the audiences were enraptured by its brilliant performance. The afternoon service was featured by the appearance of the pastor and the choir of Wesley Chapel M. E. Church. Rev. Shaw delivered a most eloquent sermon on this occasion and his choir sang beautifully. It was truly a magnificent day. BIRCH ST. CHRISTIAN CHURCH F. C. Cothran, Minister. The subject "Walking in the Light" was the labor of the pastor at 11 a.m. Our guide for being saved is light. Surely one has as much as another, but even the angels in heaven are denied this right—why should we? There is much being said about church union at this time, but if it ever comes it must come by the simple teaching of the gospel for it is the only powder God has to save. Let us walk in the light which is the gospel to make full our assurance. Next Lord's Dap, Sept. 22nd is Rally Day. Preaching at 11 a. m., Subject "The Authority of Jesus."

Gov. Stephens' supporters at the recent State Convention attended to business, and accomplished the same with rare neatness and despatch. It is about time that some of our hot air vendors in this section should take a back seat because the time has arrived when for the best interest of the community they should be silenced. We must give due credit to the Tribune of Phoenix for the splendid sheet which they are sending forth, brim full of news and now they have all of the press boys asking—"How can you do it?" It looks like before the Baptists really get together there must be at least several funerals; as it is two great big National Conventions were held last week—one at St. Louis; and one at Little Rock. Fifty-five years ago tomorrow, President Lincoln issued his Proclamation which struck from the limbs of Four Million souls the shackles of Slavery, and today we look back and realize from whence we came. One favorable sign in the Campaign just over, and the one pending, is that not a mushroom paper came forth in this section but to make up for it the parisites and hustlers kept themselves on the job to the detriment of not only themselves but to the race as well. A Police Officer on Los Angeles St. according to the daily press got drunk, and proceeded to break up a Chinese Lottery joint.

FOR SALE BY NOTES ABOUT EASTER AND AFRICA We have 13 American workers out today. Africa has only one missionary to every 133,000 souls. Our Easter saints are good. Two of them by Dr. Tindley, a man of our own people. Surely this great Africa would be known to all our people in churches and schools. Africa contains one-fourth of all the land surface of the whole earth, and one-seventh of all the people in the aerial life in Africa. Colored Baptists during the last 53 years have given to Africa 62 workers, and trained more than 120 native workers and evangelists. Africa's natural wealth equals that of any other two continents. Africa produces one-third of the allotted good and 90 per cent of all the abundant. The Easter program is a reproduction of sketches from Jean Mackenzie's book "African Adventures" which beautifully portrays the work of Christianity among African tribes. With all Africa's natural wealth, there is a greater wealth of biodiversity or more waters with gold, oil, and they need the gospel. We will go let go or help go At it, all at it all the time. Let every pastor see that every department of his church joins the Sunday school on the fifth Sunday of March in the basement of the church, where workers in Africa. War conditions make it imperative that we be loyal to the Lord as never before. For years the Foreign Mission Board has sent from Bountiful to give programs to our Sunday schools. Thus year, because of the opportunities cost of material training, we are sending to those who will remember our Foreign Mission work on Easter Sunday. After 21 years of our work we have given to interesting our Baptist Zion in the redemption of Africa on this February 13 my twenty-first anniversary. I am saddened by the loss of our brothers and sisters who will give weeks, and report monthly will greatly aid our workers and cheer your old field hand. Yours in H. Service. L. G. JORDAN.

U. subject for Sunday, and a timely one indeed. In discussing the B. Y. P. U. subject, if each one would talk directly on the topic, and not branch off on every other subject imaginable there would be more good derived, for each individual the subject has been selected, and if we think saloons and men and women that drik are all right. It is better not to say anything at all on the subject. For the saloon problem is the church's problem and the world expects the church to solve it. Her failure will disappoint both friends and enemies. The saloon problem is the problem also of civilization? It is the problem of curbing by love if possible, by the strong arm if needs be, the selfishness of the few in the interest of the many. Do we want to help win the war? Do we want to help make the worldsafe for want to help make the world safe for the world? Then let us destroy the demon drink, for a druken man can never feel and can never be safe for others on a free country. The B. Y. P. U. of the Mt. Zion Church has a prize contest now on, in which everyone is cordially invited to take part. The contest is this: Books of the Bible in their order Anyone who is able to repeat the 66 without a mistake, will be awarded a prize. The contest will close on the 2nd Sunday in Oct., so everyone must get busy. All officers of the B. Y. P. L. are expected to take part in this contest as well as its members, no one is excused.

Hayden who is now having a vacation is spending it in taking a trip to Texas, visiting his mother, relatives and friends. Mr. Zollecoffee is also expecting to make a visit to Texas soon.

Refreshments will be served. The Texas Social Club met at the residence of Mrs. J. C. Johns for its social meeting last Monday evening, the First and Third Monday in each month being their regular meeting nights. The First for business, and the Third for social. There were 37 present. The first part of the evening was engaged in calling the roll and taking in new members, the latter part was the social part and our excellent program was rendered, and refreshments were served. Mrs. Shepardson of Phoenix, Ariz., and one of its leading club women, was introduced to the club and gave a very interesting talk along the line of work that is being done in her city. Also Mrs. R. C. Plenty addressed the club on the civic work of this city, as the Texas people know how to do things and usually do them. Connected with the fact that Mrs. Johns is a recent arrival from Texas the real Texas spirit was thrown into the meeting and serving. The guests left quoting Mrs. Johns as a very generous as well as hospitable hostess. Mrs. Nathan Robinson, Chairman of the Program Committee arranged the program. Mrs. Joshua of Austin Texas is the house guest of Mrs. Rosa Dedrick and Mrs. Sarah Keene, 3769 Wilson Ave., East San Diego, for a sojourn of ten days.

The piece of poetry composed by Mrs. Bilbrew of L. A. entitled "Our Black Boys of Uncle Sam" was rendered by Mrs. R. C. Slinty, and deserves special mention. This bids fair to the writer as a poetess of note in the near future. There were about fifty other guests present, among whom were Mrs. Shepherdson of Phoenix, Ariz., also a visitor of short duration in our city. After a late hour refreshments were served and the guests wer loath to leave for their respective homes. Much credit is due the President of the N. W. C., Mrs. E. R. Hutson and the President of the Texas Social Club, Mrs. Williams, also Mrs. Nathan Robinson, the Chairman of the Program Committee, in sparing no pains in making the affair a success. The members of the Negro Women's Council and delegates from the different lodges and clubs turned out at Masonic Hall on last Sunday afternoon to organize a permanent Political Organization, but owing to the fact that we want all of our race people to be present, and from them to select our best material for leadership, the meeting was posponed to a later date, which will be on next Tuesday evening, Sept. 24th. Everyone is invited, also the lodges and clubs of the city have a cordial invitation to attend, and to take part in this organization. The Carnation Club met Tuesday evening at the home of Mrs. Helen King on Greely Ave. This being the last business meeting of the club this year, the members were all out full of interest.

Hawer, Mrs. Webb, Private Edward Graham and the Cadet Boys of the West Side. Our receiving room and front porch were filled with members and friends. Rev. Hawer made a very strong appeal to us that filled our hearts with patriotism and greatly encouraged us to continue our work. Mrs. Webb who returned recently from an extensive tour o a few training camps, read a very interesting paper on camp life. Private Graham received a great applause when he was introduced. We felt very proud of him as he delivered his message to us. His very bearing proved him to be soldier without the coroboration of his uniform. Miss Beavers rendered a patriotic solo very creditably, and four school girls sang "Keep the Home-fires Burning." We have what we call an Honor Roll, on this roll are the names of our West Side Boys who have answered the call to colors. Their names were called, they were not here to answer but their star twinkled on our Service Flag. Patriotism ran high throughout the meeting and many expressed themselves in a very forceful way. M.

Some of the corn will be displayed and the one guessing the number of grains on the ear or nearest to the number will be given a fine prize. REFRESHMENTS SERVED ADMISSION 15 CENTS MRS. GEORGIANNA WILLIAMS, Manager SURPRISED They were certainly surprised last Monday evening. Mrs. H. W. B. Jones, with the assistance of the B. Y. P. U. 'younger set' of Second Baptist Church and members of the Queen'Esther Circle of Wesley Chapel gave a surprise party in honor of Mr. Henry Jones' and Miss Hazel Franklin's (his aunt) birthdays. Mr. Jones on this occasion celebrating his twenty years, and Miss Franklin her seventeen. Many tokens of remembrances were received by both concerned. The young people together had a jolly time. The treatment accorded to Mrs. A. W. LaVine of 1619 W. 35th Place where she made up a theatre party for Clunes' Theatre on last Monday night, smacks strong as Pro-German propaganda to us. After she had provided for her party consisting of Mrs. Oscar Greer, and Mrs. Geo. Hunter of Bakersfield, Mrs. M. Davis, Mrs. A. L. Whittaker, Mrs. J. W. Clark and Mrs. M. Reed; with seats in the Orchestra row, and as they were about to be seated by the lady usher, one of the attaches of the Theatre rushes forward and said, "You cannot seat these people here," and motioned for them to come on and take seats upstairs, which the ladies indignantly refused to do. They would not take their money back but held on to their tickets, and now Clunes will be called on to defend a suit for damages. To our mind this is Pro-Germanism pure and simple and the people who are responsible for this undemocratic act should be held to a strict accountability for the same. Humiliating a loyal and struggling people who are doing their full duty in every phase of the great work of the war cannot be other than a pure pro-German act and at Clunes that is where it happened—See!

A full house was present to enjoy the wonderful music. Madam, the greatest Soprano vocalist, gave a rendition of the Italian love song with which she won the diamond medal at the Chicago Conservatory of Music in 1996 Twelve numbers were given her interpretation of Negro Spiritualistic Music and the Classics were indeed enjoyed by all. Mr. John H. Scotland gave two readings from Dunbar; Mr. A. C. Beal, a Trombone solo and Miss Edna Culpepper of Riverside, late of Western University, gave a history of Negro music. Each number was enjoyed and appreciated to the fullest. San Bernardino is indeed proud of our own song bird. Madam Talbert is now touring the country in the interest of the Cantonments where she is prime favorite with the soldiers. A chicken supper was also served in the banquet hall. Quite a neat sum was realized from suppers and the recital of which a certain percent of the net proceeds will go to the New Hope Baptist Church. Mr. William A.

G. W. Reed Pastor Last Sunday was another high day at the New Hope Baptist Church. Beginning with an extraordinary Sunday School service at 9:30, then at Eleven came the opening worship of the Church service. Pastor Reed was filled with the spirit and preached from Matt. 4:17—From that time began Jesus to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of God is He opened his sermon by saying, 'John the Baptist began his evangelical campaign with the slogan.' Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand.' Now, when John's voice was hushed by Herod's guillotine, then Jesus who was greater than he took up the same cry "Repent." The echo of his voice reverberated through the thickness of two millenniums—Repent. Its meaning today is just the game as it was then. "It is just as essential now as then, before and after regenerated life. There is a tendency relegate it to the ecclesiastical junk heap, declaring that its service passed into time with John the Baptist. I declare this to be a sad mistake. Jesus and the Aspostes preached it. Acts 17:30; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 8:22. From these passages he preached the doctrine of repertance. At the close of his sermon the eyes of this hearers were bathed in tears. Pastor Reed's Sunday subject will be, "God's House and Ours." Evening, "Needed Redemption." The Parsonage and study for the pastor have been newly furnished throughout, and is located at 1030 7th St. The pastor moved in last Tuesday. - Sunday School 9:45 a.m. Preaching at 11 a.m., subject, "Repentance" B.

The choir is rendering good music and all departments are earnestly working to obtain good results. Mrs. T. V. Beck entertained in honor of Mrs. Horace Wagner last Thursday evening.

We do not know who is responsible for these false statements but they should be stopped. Complaints from Over the Country. Mr. Scott showed us communications from different parts of the country concerning the mistreatment of colored soldiers and such matters should be given to the dally papers of New York and Chicago if the Washington papers fall to give them publicity. There are several camps where soldiers are not given proper athletic exercise and colored officers are not being assigned to duty as fast as commissioned from the schools. MORE SOLDIERS TO DIE Did Emmett J. Scott Hasten Matters? Death Penalty Approved a Few Days After Letter To Fred Moore Was Sent To Mr. Scott. We note with deep sorrow that President Wilson has approved of the findings of the court martial by which six brave colored soldiers are to be hanged for participation in the Houston riots in August, 1917. Death sentence of ten others were commuted to life imprisonment. It will be remembered that these soldiers were acting in self defense from the fact that they had been mistreated and assaulted by the police of Houston and it had been reported to them that a mob of white men had threatened to swoop down upon the camp and drive them out. Acting on this themselves and receiving orders from non-commissioned officers that the mob was descending upon them, they began to fire and at the same time marching upon the town, which action resulted in the death of several persons. They were taken to Fort Sam Houston, disarmed and through the policy of Texas officers investigation was started and some weak minded soldiers from the South who had been in the service only a few months were induced to turn state's evidence on a promise of immunity. From what we have read of the trial it seems that this was a kangaroo court and the men were never fairly tried. There have been three court martials. Sixty-three soldiers were tried in the first which resulted in the hanging of thirteen without their cases ever being reviewed by President Wilson. Forty others were sent to the Federal prison for life and the remaining ten were disposed of in various ways, three or four were sent to military prison and a few were given jail sentences. A second court martial resulted in the conviction of Wilson has just approved with the following statement: "I commute the containing sciences," the president said in a statement attached to the record, "because I believe the lesson of this lawless riot will have been adequately pointed out by action already taken and that now directed and also because I desire the clemency here ordered to be a recognition of the splendid loyalty of the race to which these soldiers belong and an inspiration to the people of that race to further real and service to the country they are citizens of and for the liberation of which so many of them are how bravely bearing arms at the very front of the great fields of battle." It is amusing to us to read this comment when we know that President Wilson has just issued an order against mob violence and here approves of the hanging of six brave soldiers and thirteen have already been hanged for the same offense without his consent which act was in our opinion the same as lynching. The President has at this time under fail to understand how the colored who were sentenced to be hanged for participation in the riots. This makes a total of twenty-four brave colored soldiers to be executed for participation in the Houston riots. The President says that the reason he commutes the sentences of these ten is because of the loyalty shown by the colored people and the bravery of the boys at the "very front." We fail to understand how the colored soldiers or the colored race are to gain any consolation from this statement when thirteen soldiers have already been put to death and the cases of eleven more are hanging in the balance expecting at any time to be executed. It seems to us that this would strike consternation in the hearts of the brave colored soldiers at the front and those at home likewise. The evidence shows that this riot at Houston occurred in the night when it was very dark and it was impossible to tell who were taking part. These soldiers were convicted upon circumstantial evidence given by soldiers forced to testify as they did on account of fear or promises made them for their own safety. As President Wilson has well said, our col- Citizens and soldires are loyally doing their part in a patriotic way and are bravely bearing arms for the defense of democracy in this country and yet at the same time the President has been informed of the mistreatment of colored soldiers in this country, but as yet no steps seem to have been taken to correct this evil. It is a shame and disgrace to Christian civilization to have all of these men executed an imprisoned for trying to defend their rights in Texas. The officers who are responsible for starting this trouble have never been punished to any extent. Was it Moore's Unthoughtfulness and Scott's Anxiety to Make Good? We desire to call the attention of the public and especially the colored people as to the findings of this court martial by the President was rushed through after laying dormant for several months. Following is a copy of a letter which we sent to Mr. Fred R. Moore of the New York Age. Mr. Moore proceeds to send the letter to Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, and Mr. Scott in turn presents the letter to Secretary Baker. We are printing below copy of the letter sent to Mr. Moore by Mr. Scott after the letter written by us had been brought to the attention of the Secretary of War: Our Letter to Mr. Moore Topeka, Kans., July 31, 1918. Mr. Fred R. Moore. Editor The Age. New York, City. My Dear Sir: I am contemplating a trip East, starting about August 20 and would like for you to arrange a meeting for me that I might get before some patriotic people of the race and make a talk with reference to the Kansas Defense Society, an organization which is raising funds to defend those soldiers of the 24th Infantry who were court martialled for participation in the Houston riots and are now incarcerated in the Federal Prison at Leavenworth. For this same offense, as you will remember, thirteen were hanged. This case was never reviewed by President Wilson and we have secured three lawyers who are prepared to bring habeas corpus proceedings in the United States Court as we expect to take this case to the highest court in the land, if necessary. I shall visit New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore and some places in Indiana; and shall ask the people to donate whatever they feel disposed to give and I am sure every patriotic colored citizen will do something in this matter. Let me hear from you if you can manage to arrange this meeting or get someone to do so. I shall let you know the exact date that I will be in your city. With kindest regards, I am. Very truly yours. NICK CHILES. Washington, Aug. 12, 1918 Mr. Fred R. Moore, 247 W. 46th Street, New York City. Dear Mr. Moore: I am returning herewith the letter addressed to you by Mr. Nick Chiles. The Secretary of War thinks it would be most advisable to have Mr. Chiles undertake such a speaking tour as he suggests. The Secretary says: "I do not know what lawyers he has retained, but I feel perfectly certain that no cases have ever been examined with as much care as the Houston Riot cases are now receiving. I have substantially completed my examination of them, but the record covers thousands of pages, and when the President is called upon to act he will be fully informed of every circumstances which can in any way be made to operate in favor of the convicted men." Under the circumstances it seems to me that it would not be unwise for you to communicate these facts to Mr. Nick Chiles. I am enclosing carbon copy of this letter for that purpose unless you care to send the original. Yours sincerely. Special Assistant, Room 131. In the first instance Mr. Moore had no business sending the letter to Mr. Scott and Mr. Scott had no business presenting our letter to the Secretary of War. It seems to us that the War Department was sleeping on this matter that the President has just approved and probably intended to leave it until after the war. From the tenor of Mr. Scott's letter it seems that the War Department got busy and rushed this matter through and sent it to the President for approval. No doubt this is the finding of the War Department and the President merely approved what they sent to him. We are very sorry that Mr. Scott presented this letter to the Secretary of War and it is our opinion that had this letter been kept from the War Department that these soldiers would have had longer ered a distinct mark of devotion. To Ever since the publication of Sci- meditate thus in full sincerity must once and Health, disease and sin have CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE Continued from Page 1) that a Christian Scientist endeavors to heal by trying to imagine that the condition is not there. It is evident that this is a misapprehension; for imagination is a state of ignorance; and ignorance never healed anything and it never can. Disease is unquestionably evil and, therefore, it cannot be the truth of being. Inasmuch as Christian Science, its method of dealing with error is precisely as it is done in mathematics. If a mathematician is confronted with the misstatement that two and two make five, he does not study that mistake; for a mistake could not be understood. Only that which is true can be understood. That is why David in the psalm asks the question, "Who can understand his errors?" No one can; not one. Consequently an intelligent individual will never try to do it. He will study more thoroughly the rule of truth that governs the problem, and act in obedience thereto. Then the error disappears, just as ignorance disappears before intelligence. And where has it gone? Into its native unreality. The only reality the error ever has is in the individual's ignorance of the truth. It ceases to exist to his intelligent understanding. Consequently an error is real or unreal only to the degree of the individual's ignorance or intelligence concerning the truth. It is the truth that makes free. Disease Mental A Christian Scientist learns that disease is essentially mental in its cause. As long as he believes it to be entirely physical, he may well feel helpless before it. In fact there could be no such thing as Christian healing if disease were actually physical. The medical schools of today have been employing experiments which indicate the mental cause of disease. There can be no doubt that in every case it is the result of wrong thinking. Medical experiments have proved conclusively that the individual's thinking seriously affects the circulation of the blood, and some interesting conclusions have been drawn from the observation of the effect of wrong thinking on the body. Perhaps the most common observation is the flushed or pallid face that results from anger. People have been known to die in a fit of anger and also from extreme fright. Since the discovery of the X-ray, physicians have been able to learn the effect of thought on the digestive system. The method is simple enough. Some harmles, opaque substance like bismuth is mixed with the food. Then as one eats the prepared food, the entire process of its digestion may be observed with the X-ray. By that method, physicians have proved that the digestion of students taking a severe examination, in great fear, has been retarded fully two hours. Anger also hinders digestion and poisons the system. The result of other experiments might be presented, but these are sufficient to indicate the necessity of correcting thought when dealing with disease. Suppose for example, one has eaten something and soon after is seized with distressing pain in the stomach. The pain is a distinct physical sensation which cannot be ignored. A Christian Science practitioner is summoned and he immediately remembers the testimony of Christ Jesus, "Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man," a saying which once offended the Pharisees. The disciples sought an explanation of the parable from Jesus, remarking on the offense which it gave to the Pharisees. Surprised at their lack of understanding, Jesus proceeded to explain that "whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into draught. But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man." Regardless of what thought or act may occasion the pain, if the patient would only refuse to admit it into his heart or mind, it could not defile him. But when one begins to take it into his heart or mind, giving to it a supposed cause or reason, that defiles the man. "For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornifications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man." When the testimony of the flesh is overbalanced by the peace, joy and power of God's everpresence, then the truth will indeed make us free. Contemplating Truth a Corrective Christian healing has nothing in common with the will of the flesh. On the other hand, it is in complete agreement with the will of God. For that reason it can never be divorced from Christian theology. To meditate on the nature of God, in the full expectation of gaining a better understanding of Him, is generally considered a distinct mark of devotion. To meditate thus in full sincerity must THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE THE CAFE Metropolitan Hair Store and Costuming Establishment The only race establishment on the Pacific Coast where you may be fitted up in anything made from HAIR and secure the most fastidious costume for Masquerade Balls, Tacky Parties, or Colonial Dances. 952-54 Central Avenue Phone Pico 1698 Mme.

As he stops to contemplate their rare beauty, his thought is fed and satisfied. He has taken nothing from them, but he has gained much that is enduring. Thus thousands of people, devout in their thought of God, have turned to Him to meditate on the beauty of His goodness, on the strength of His meekness, and on the nourishing thought of His purity and health, and they have been healed of dire afflictions. Those satisfying thoughts have corrected the proclivities of the flesh, and the truth has made them free. Footnotes to: Mrs. Edith's Discoveries Mrs. Eddy was long a member of the Congregational Church, and the devotional culture she received there and at home fitted her to understand and demonstrate the Principle of divine healing. When a child she was taken with fever. Her mother talked to her of God and assured her that God would surely answer her prayers, if she would only turn to Him. As the little girl prayed fervently, the fever left her and, her mother rejoiced over the speedy recovery. Later while she was attending a neighboring school, a man escaped from an insane asylum, approached the children at play, holding a club threateningly in his hand. Mary Baker walked up to him fearlessly and naturally, imbued with a religious sense of God's presence and power. The man became subdued and gentle, and departed at her request. The following Sunday he appeared at her side during the morning service in the church. There he permitted himself to be taken in charge by an officer and led away. Some years later, when grown to womanhood, she healed a child of severe eye trouble by her fervent prayers to God. The direct cause which led to the discovery of Christian Science was Mrs. Eddy's own healing in 1866. She had received a very serious injury by falling on ice. The physician who attended her at the time believed that her injury would prove fatal. When she knew that nothing material could save her, Mrs. Eddy turned to her Bible for consolation. Reading its sacred truths with singleness of purpose and the faith that spiritual understanding could save her, she witnessed the immediate operation of the truth. Her healing was complete. She arose, dressed herself and startled the family by her sudden appearance. Nothing but the power of God could produce such a sudden transformation, and with joy and gratitude Mrs. Eddy gave all the glory to Him. Scriptural Interpretation Scriptural Interpretation It is by no means an uncommon occurrence for devout people to be healed by their study of the Bible. But Mrs. Eddy could not be satisfied with the physical healing alone. She must know the Science or Principle of that healing. Indeed she believed she had a right to that knowledge, as much as Jesus had promised another Comforter, which he defined as "the Spirit of truth." If "the Spirit of truth" was not to be understood and obeyed then one might, perhaps unwittingly, obey error. But the truth had made her free and it was her right to know the explanation of that experience. Scriptural study took on a new meaning in her search for an explanation of Christian healing. Step by step spiritual law was interpreted in a new light. Her conclusions were systematically recorded and fairly tested in the healing of disease and sin. That elucidation of the scriptures formed the basis of her more complete work known as "Science and Health, with Key to the Scriptures," first published in 1875—nine years after her discovery. been healed through the study of it. As one ponders the explanation of scriptural texts with which it is filled, mind and body are refreshed and painful misconceptions are corrected. It has in other words brought a return of primitive Christian healing. In recognition of her distinguished service as interpreter of the Bible, the French Government honored Mrs. Eddy by making her an officer of the French Academy. For nearly twenty-five years I enjoyed a personal acquaintance with Mrs. Eddy. Twice she was a guest in our home, and I have been honored with invitations to her home. I have been familiar with her home life and with the members of her household; have had considerable correspondence with her; so that I have an actual knowledge of the purity and conservation of her life. But the testimony of men is barren as compared with the record of her achievements. That she has written a book, the mere reading of which will heal morally and physically, proves more accurately than can any other thing the nature of her true character. Only an exact science can solve every problem. Experimental knowledge would necessarily omit some problems because of the limitations of human thought. But Christian Science has been tested with every human problem and found sufficient for them all, because it interprets the fundamental rights of man to life, health, and the pursuit of happiness. Mrs. Eddy did not create those rights. She simply interpreted that which is already created. The success of Christian Science has been entirely dependent upon the correctness of the interpretation. Church Organization When the framers of the American Constitution wrote their interpretation of man's inalienable rights they saw the wisdom of protecting the integrity of that interpretation by the organization of an army and navy. So Mrs. Eddy saw the wisdom of protecting her interpretation of the scriptures by the organization of a church. That in turn requires a code of laws for its government. The membership of the Christian Science, Church is virtually a record of those individuals who have been benefited by its teachings and have enlisted in their defense. The institutional work of the church is therefore essential to the proper protection of its teachings. The first Christian Science Church was established in 1879 with twenty-six members. Ten years later the congregation had increased to about 250, and today there is a regular congregation in Boston of over 4000. In addition to the central organization, there are two other Christian Science Churches in Boston, and fifteen or more in the suburbs; all within a radius of ten miles. Meanwhile the movement has spread throughout the civilized world. In fact, there is no religious movement known that has attained to such proportions, in so short a time. Every Christian Science church throughout the world can trace its origin to the healing of some disease or sin. It is like the parable of the sower and the seed. Someone in need of help has begun to turn longingly to God. That is the good soil. He gets some Christian Science literature and reads it. That is the planting of the seed. The result is the healing which is the harvest. In the joy of his freedom, he hands the literature to a friend. Benefits begin to increase; little groups gather for discussion; and soon there develops a Christian Science church. All because the seed of Truth is in itself. It is like leaven, "which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened." It propagates itself, cares for itself and brings in the increase.

Then let them grow together until the harvest, when the difference becomes perfectly apparent. The tares are, in outward appearance just like the wheat. The tares have a stalk, spite, husk and all, just like the wheat. But the husks are barren of fruit, and "By their fruits shall ye know them." The seeds of the tares are considered poisonous, and the plant is said to have an intoxicating quality akin to infauration. The modern tares are the seeds of hypnotic suggestion and the will of the flesh. They are poisonous and produce that intoxicating quality which is akin to infauration, inflaming the animal propensities. They are hypnotic suggestions and human will and are the products of the carnal, sinful mind, which is enmity against God. They are the polar opposites of the spiritual Mind which Christ Jesus manifested, and we are specifically enjoined by the scriptures "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus." The Christian Scientist must, therefore, examine his thoughts and learn their origin. He learns to make the distinction between good and evil: for evil operates through suggestion or impulse and appeals to the nerves or flesh; whereas the power of God operates through good alone, never through animal magnetism. The power of God is communicated to individual human experience through divine law, and appeals to the reason or spiritual understanding. It operates in other words exactly like honesty, from Principle. There are not as many different kinds of honesty as there are different human opinions. There is just one honesty, and everybody may have it, because it is everywhere and operates through law. Then as one yields his obedience to the power of its government, because of its reasonable rightness, he gains the power of its Principle. It will correct all dishonest tendencies and establish him in the government of the one Mind, which was also in Christ Jesus. By looking to this, Principle for health and purity, and yielding loving obedience to its corrective government, Christian Scientists are proving the truth of Mrs. Eddy's assertion on line 29 of page 97 of the Christian Science text-book: "Christianism is again demonstrating the Life that is Truth, and the Truth that is Life, by the apostolic work of casting out error and healing the sick."
