THE CALL OF AFRICA.
(By W. J. Wheaton.)
Will we have the courage to adventure? The thought was raised in my mind by the following press dispatch.
Negro Students Asked To Serve Africa
"Hundreds of Negro students in Methodist theological seminaries throughout the United States have been invited by J. N. Ruffin, a member of the London chamber of Commerce, to volunteer as missionaries for the Christianization of the Hottentots Hereros, and the black tribes in former German colonies in south west Africa.
The British government stands ready to finance educated American Negroes who would go to AAfrica and and help to enlighten and uplift the blacks there, who have impoverished and weakened as the result of German mis-rule".
Who but the black man should carry Christianization to the land of their ancestors? Who by settlement, by, the ties which bind races of like, blood, should take to the oppressed, benighted people of Africa the light of civilization? The answer is obvious - the educated American Negro.
The world shudders now when the atrocities committed by the Germans against the Hereros and in the Cameroons are brought to light. The wholesale massacres; The mutilation of little black children; the involation of the native women and young girls by the exponents of German "Kultur" form a part of the worlds history that will never be recorded because of it's very frightfulness.
It to these suffering people, suffering from the years of miracle, that these, young men of the race who are fitting themselves to aid and uplift, are asked to carry the torch of enlightment and unfurl the banner of Christian democracy. Are they ready for the great adventure? Let it be hoped that as they so valiantly answered the call to uphold the tennents of a world wide democracy on the battlefields mid scenes of carnage, that they will answer to the call for the civilization of our black kindred. Are we going to feel secure in a victory which does not bring the fundamental truths of world democracy home to all of the people, people of every clime creed and race? If so then the long oppressed tribes of Africa must be brought to the realization of the great benefits of civilized cohesion, and which end no young man could more gloriously dedicate his life.
Oftentimes I think that the prophesy of bishop Turner will come true. It has been a generation ago, the writer then a cub on the Pittsburgh Daily Dispatch, was sent out to interview the distinguished prelate who was in the city to deliver a lecture on Africa. When the conversation turned to the possibilities of the civilization of the continent, he, the Bishop became enthusiastic. The towering mountains; fertile val|eys; swift, rushing rivers, and wonderful resources of the dark continent, were vividly portrayed. But when we were ready to depart, he placed his hand on my shoulder, drawing himself to his full height, he said, "Young man I may not live to see it, you probably will, when the young black men who are gaining wisdom and knowledge in our institutions of learning, will] hurry over the seas at Etheopia's call and plant the light of redemption on the soil of their forefathers, Africa. God so wills and He will not be denied.".
This worlds war has brought numerous changes in the attitude of nations. Africa has sent her sons to battle alongside the sons of France. Al-

ready the French government is lauding to give her African subjects a greater latitude in the affairs of government. Liberia asks for a place at the peace table as one of the Allies who suffered at the hands of German encroachment. This may be the first step toward African redemption. The first ray of the dawn of her future greatness among the nations of the earth. If nations are to be formed along the lines of racial affiliation, if it is Asia to be governed by Asiatics and the geographical realignment is to be made on racial grounds, then let us have Africa for the Africans. Col. Charles B. Young who made a study of Africa and it's tribal relations while organizing the Liberian constabulary is being mentioned very frequently as a representative of the African Republic at the Peace conference. Let us hope that the rumor is to become a reality, it will be an incentive for the young and educated American Negro to venture out, to pioneer the way to African greatness. We have proven that we are valorous in the upholding of the ideals of right, may we as zealous in the sacrifice of all things that would hinder justice and opportunity for benighted Africa.
PROF. H. DOUGLASS GREER
PEACE AND DEMOCRACY
Peace has come at last. Democracy will come at length. The great struggle in which the nations of the earth have been engaged was brought to a close November 10th. It is safe to say that all the belligerents welcomed the peace declaration. Every heart leaped for joy when the news spread throughout the country that Germany, the common enemy and oppressor of mankind, had signed the armistice.
It is clear to the students of history that Germany sought a repetition of the plans employed by the Teuton vandale who descended upon Rome, the ancient mistress of the world, and attempted to obliterate everything in one torrential overflow.
We have been saved from a similar fate by the mental, physical and military excellence of our own armies and those of the Allies. It is to these armies we doff our hats, spring our right arm in at attitude of salute and yell with pride. "Bravo."
Upon this peace hangs the future determination and destiny of the nations of the world. It gives to the smallest nation of Europe the right to say who shall be its leaders and how they shall be chosen. Theirs it is to choose whether or not they shall "now and forever be free," or remain the lawful subjects of object submission, objects for further exploitation.
Though we urge with eagerness the establishment of republics for all countries that are now autocratic, or otherwise, in their form of government. We do not press this advice because we think ourselves more upright, wiser and less selfish than they; we are no more infallible in our ridden trammels that impede their
judgment than those who make up any other people or nation. We would not be wise nor great to advocate for others something we had not tried ourselves; nor are we so small as to insist that other people shall discontinue in existing abuses by those in authority unless and until the people themselves signify their intention to bring about such reforms.
Even our Democracy will not permit us to regard ourselves as being of a superior type—(the better than thou group)—to that of all other nation; nor do we believe that our opinions and views are necessarily of themselves the best, or any different from those of other peoples of equal intelligence; there is, however, a strong element of common-sense in the appeal we make to the nations of Europe that they rise from the bed-progress and freedom, and put on the armor of self-protection, self-defense Democracy.
We realize how hard it is to give up what has been a lifelong custom, but shall we excuse what we fear to condemn on the grounds that the present form of iniquity has existed for centuries? Whether Democracy is better for the nations of Europe is a problem that remains to be solved. Certainly it can be no worse than those governments now in vogue. We must withhold our decision until the application and test have been made. The highest intelligence and the broadest knowledge will be required for the try-out, but the test will prove whether or not the present system shall give way to the onward march of evolution and progress—destroyed entirely, or whether our system shall be adopted.
- England has a genius for liberty. She has never deviated from the direct line of national interest. In that country where, everything is "based upon "liberty", each race group remains to itself. Not even the forces of religion, language, customs, culture or government are sufficient to unify the whole mixture and produce a single people. England too, it seems must take on thoughts toward a progressive reform which will incorporate portions of God's idea of humanity, not by the formation of a greater United Kingdom, but an alignment for a greater united mankind.
France has a genius for equality. Everything ignites itself, identifies itself within her domains. Still all commune together. This national unity begets a spiritual unity. Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, are national emblems of France. There is a distinct Paris for each profession and there is a whole Paris for every profession. From the heterogeneous mixture within her borders she has brought forth a nation, the richest in races. The Gaul Spirit, the Worldly Spirit and the Spirit to analyze are cherished by the people of France and are the factors that determine their nationality. The Gaul Spirit is the first and great element of the national spirit. The Worldly Spirit is that elegant way they have of extracting pleasure and harmless pastime from sources and in ways that defy the scruples of those who cannot get into the work of that spirit. Lastly, the Spirit, to analyze makes them eager for Truth, careful in their search for beauty. Never satisfied with immediate beauty they penetrate beyond to find out the cause and effects which produce the pleasant emotions. Thus the Frenchman is critical, logical and scientific under the impulse of this spirit. Ruccio has a genius for France.
all governmental states that are dominated by tyranny and oppression we find the people yielding to national decree with childish obedience. They are found clinging to ideas that have long since lost the ideality they represented and the very reason for their existence. Within the domains of that vast territory millions of people are still yearning for the light they know must shine. The light of Democracy will beam tenderly upon them and assist them to proclaim a new government—one within which there is wisdom and consideration for the people.
The chaos which now exists will soon disappear. Democracy must open the way and teach even the program of Russia that there are certain inalienable rights to which every man is born. Though he has been denied them, or has not come into possession of these rights, nor the power of assertion, it is no less a fact that he has them.
Whereas the people of Russia have clung with childish fervency to their country proves their love of home.
If they love God and Right they will welcome these reforms and in later years reap the rewards
Docility may become the attribute of a man or a nation, obedience is the law of a child; obedience is as becoming in the old as in the young, but docility and obedience are never becoming when one so completely yields to an obedience that is humiliating and a docility so degrading that he loses the respect of others and his own self-respect.
Germany! Germany! Germany! Where is she?
"Yesterday the word of Germany might have stood against the world" now lies she there, none so poor as to do her reverence. Forty years of preparation! Five years of degradation! And a season of servile strife, rebellion and disorder.
"Might makes right," has been the Germans' theme through countless ages; they declare that 'Efficiency is the tie that binds.' These people pride themselves on being members of a nation that does its work better than any other people, but they must have learned ee this that efficiency is not the special preoperative of any one person or nation. The Germans' genius is for domination. "Culture" and 'efficiency" may form the base of their social and economic schemes, but they will find that it requires more than these things and military training to produce a nation that can battle and baffle the world.
All her giant exertions, her labor, her ingenuity have been undone by contact with greater forces. A great empire has fallen because of the pure rule and childish efforts of a military autocracy that labored to extend itself over the entire world. Thus an autocracy must withdraw itself within the narrow confines of its own little empire, there to commine with the gloomy thoughts of what might have been. If she would command the respect of the world she must start all over again, build up another empire, not on a foundation for world domination, but for world-consecration. A new philosophy, a new economy, a new geography, a new ethnology and a new national psychology should form the chief corner stones of her subsequent structures with democracy and her firm foundation. Hence peace brings these assurances: that France, England, Russia, Germany and every other country of Europe, must begin, construction along lines that more nearly conform to the needs of humanity. In the future they will teach men in the threefold aspects of his being—the physical, the intellectual, the spiritual—incubating the equality of men and women, their equal responsibilities and their equal obligations before the law—teaching all peoples to endeavor, at all times, for universal and permanent peace.
12-YEAR OLD BOY W. S. PRESIDENT—MAKES GOOD.
The grown up war savings societies will have to look to their laurels. For Los Angeles now boasts a kiddie W. S. s. that threatens to set a new record, both for membership, sales and enthusiasm.
It is the Rosewood Chapter W. S. s. in Precinct 14. Thomas Myles, a 12-year-old colored boy is president, organiser and chief worker, and since July 10th has been busy putting W. S. s. "on the map." And he has succeeded. The society, whose membership is made up of children of many nationalities, meets every other Wednesday, with Thomas in the chair, and parliamentary law rules are the order of the occasion. During the past few months with a membership of seventy six, there has been an average attendance of forty- eight children present at the meetings.
After an opening song, a war savings talk is made and each member may take the floor and give any sort of speech he or she may like (for woman suffrage prevails) provided always that it has to do with War Savings stamps—how and why, where and when to buy them.
Members must report on how many stamps they have bought and sold and how they accomplished what they did. If they have nothing to show

CITIZENS TAKE A STAND AGAINST LAWLESSNESS AND RALLY TO THE SUPPORT OF 12TH. AND CENTRAL AVENUE GROCER. A STAND FOR FAIR PLAY.
We the undersigned WARN you, that two irresponsible fellows printed and distributed circulars among the colored people warning them not to trade with the Lake Grocery store, at 1200 Central Ave. because this firm insulted the colored race. We therefore Warn you not to believe it, as it is an absolute falsehood. The proprietor of the store did not insult the colored race. It is a mean revenge of those fellows for being arrested by Officer Watson for attacking the Lake Grocery store and disturbing the peace.
We do not believe that the real ladies and gentlemen of the colored race will encourage crime by siding up with those revengeful fellows, to uphold an unjust Boycott against a merchant who is treating the people right. You are cordially invited to call at the store for an explanation and we hope you will use good judgement and see the trick of those irresponsible fellows.

Altogether the society has bought $700 of stamps and has sold $2000 outside their own circle.

Dear Mrs. Bass:
and able to write to you as I promised. My departure was so sudden and hurried that I did not have time to get around and see you. In fact the appointment came as a surprise to me. In the following lines I am trying to give the people of Los Angeles an idea of the work being carried on at Howard University, Washington D.C. I would be very glad if you would publish these lines in your next issue of the California Eagle. There are about eight hundred Negro men at Howard University University, being trained as radio operators and radio electricians. The camp is under the command of Lieut. Russell Smith, a trooper of the famous old Tenth calvary. The men who make good as operators are given their choice of going to a camp or remaining for an additional course of radio electricity. This is a good opportunity for all young men who are electrically in clined. From the list of radio electricians are picked the men who are to go to the officers training camp.
There are no complaints to register against this branch of the service, we get good treatment and plenty of hard work under our colored officers. Wednesday's and Saturday's are half holidays for us. This unit of the men from all sections of the country, student training corps is composed of Washington D. C. has, the greatest number of representatives, Baltimore Md. has the next largest. I am the only member of the corps from California. Through the kindness of Mr. Emmet J Scott Jr. and the committee on education and special training, I was appointed to receive training with this unit. Howard University like the other camps of the country has been hit by the Influenza, as yet there has been no deaths in this detachment, but at this writing I am confined to the Walter Reed hospital on account of the Spanish Influenza.
This Institution is located in Takoma park just out of Washington and covers several acres of historic ground. a number of the wounded soldiers from France are brought here to be treated. There are a number of colored soldiers here also from France unfortunately I do not know any of them: They are very happy and not the least worried over their crippled condition. I must close now but will try and write more next time Yours Truly,

DEMOCRACY
Amid the exciting scenes of misterious armies, the gall tone of the "Syrian" and the shifle of busy feet to the hal of reconstruction; many perplexing questions confront these "many races of earth," whose future rest with the intruded few.
On Nov. 11, the curtains fell on the bloodiest martial drama known to civilization. A ghastly tragedy; equaled only by the Calvary scene, and the patiently endured butchery of "Judge Lunch" whose hugely paw yearned to swallow the charred body of the last survivor of Hams sons.
When authentic news was given out by the government that the last act in the mighty tragic drama of the world's conflict had been finished: All nations became drunk with exhilarating joy.
There was no bounds to the peoples joy—their happiness was expressed in shouts and tears. The high and the low exchanged smiles, the rough hand of the poor met the grasp of the smooth hand of the rich, the seagull fought away the flies and

WESLEY M. E. CHURCH ,
Indications are that we shall not be able to meet in our place of worship before the second Sunday in December. Let us therefore continue our family worship and private devotions. This is the season of Thanksgiving let us not fail to render unto God and to our fellows thanks for the many benefits received during this eventful year.
God has been with us, he has preserved our lives in the midst of the fearful petilence, he has given us plenty in the midst of famine, he has depened the spirit of fellowship among the people, and has brought victory and peace out of horrible war. Let us thank him from the depths of our hearts.
Financially we have done well during the closed period. In order however to meet all claims of the month we must have an offering from every member this week. Our record of the last two years should not be broken. Every loyal member and friend of the church is urged to assist in maintaining our present high business standard. See that your liberal offering is in the hands of the collector in your neighborhood, the pastor's or of any one of the stewards on or before Monday night. Let us all pray that we shall be able to meet on the second Sunday. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with us all. Amen.

"Thanksgiving Sermonet.
Thanksgiving time is here and a new age and a new world are before us. The opportunity of all history is knocking at the door of our generation. Shall we thank God that the war is ended and then go back to the habits of the past?
Let us take a long look through our tears at the wreck and havoc wrought by the war- and "man's inhumanity to man". Let us see the millions maimed, the millions murdered and starvation stalking among the ruins of million homes. Let us see the sin, the shame, the God hating arrogance that brought this disaster upon an unthinkable world, and then all alone with Him let us hang the black crepe of humiliation upon the blood stained doors of our broken hearts and thank God with tears in our eyes. Yes let us thank him that the ghastly nightmare of carnage is past; and more. Let us thank Him that we shall have the courage to see to it that history does not repeat itself.
We must make a high resolve that this thing which we now see must never be forgotten. It is the World's Gethsemane through which we have passed that we might come out on the other side and give thanks to God for the resurrection glory which shines about the open door of opportunity that has been made by the surrender sacrifice of nations. And we must remember talk about making the world safe for democracy and making agnosticocracy that will be safe for the world is utterly meaning-

less unless we get at the root of this whole mafter- the sin that brought this awful curse of war upon the world; disregard for "the golden rule". Matt: 7: 12. And being confronted with the awful consequences of this sin let us reverently thank God that the gospel of Christ is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth. And believing this with all the capacity we have for faith in the deity of Jesus Christ, let us preach it with a loyalty that will awaken the world.
The blood that has been shed on the battlefields of the Old World during the four long years of carnage is a stain upon our age that can never be forgotten. In a quiet and reverend Thanksgiving spirit let us give gratitude to God that we are able to remember what others have suffered for us, and let us, remembering this take up the gospel where they have thrown down the sword and conquer the world for Christ.
FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES
Cor 5th and Towne Ave.
Rev. J. Logan Craw, Pastor.
Nearly eight weeks have passed since the closing of our churches because of the influenza plague and still the church doors are shut. This condition naturally causes our hearts to turn to God and persuasively inquire "How Long Oh Lord?" How Long? Disparagement however disappears when we remember. God's promise to which we become reconciled as submissively and consolingly we listen to Isiah inspiringly say: "But they that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings as Eagle's; they shall curl and not be weary; and they shall walk and not fail." There are in these times of pestilence, disbarment and death we admonish all to Wait on the Lord.
Sickness is in the houses of many of our members; but thus far no death: We thank God for his providential care of all and pray increasingly for the restoration to perfect

health and your return to the house of the Lord, when the ban is lifted. Build securely on God's word as in meditation you hear him saying: "Because he has set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name: He shall call on me and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I, will deliver him and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and show my Salvation.
The officers and members are to be congratulated and thanked who are voluntarily giving their time and money and other essentials that go in such times as these to keep things from running behind. Surely we know when the church doors are open everybody will make up for lost time. But not knowing that time we appeal in gentle solicitude. Do your duty now as opportunity permits so that the unexcelled standard already attained will not be permitted to slip and find duty left undone, but the victory won at the Masters call. Services will resame regularly as soon as the ban is lifted. Second quarterly meeting. Sunday Jan. 5th, 1919. Presiding elder J. H. Wilson in charge Read This first Sabbath in December ISAH 190th.

THE PEOPLE INDEPENDENT
Once again we have surrendered disappointment as to our hope of entering into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise. For another week and possibly many more the worship of Jehovah must be suspended and the gates of Zion closed. We must believe however, that "All things work together for, good to them that love the Lord." This period of suspended worship therefore cannot be without its purposeful context, somehow, for good. These closed churches, worshipers, Sundays and silent worshipers are powerful sermons within themselves speaking, with a directness and eloquence unapproached by human lips, of a truth which must be burned into the hearts and minds of us all. They bring to us a message which we all must be heed, and an experience by which we must profit.
We are made to feel our need for the Bread of Life, in pangs of soul hunger such as we have never felt before. We have before us an object lesson of our weakness and absolute dependence upon God. We can see today as never before, the place that Christianity must fill in our lives and the real worth of these churches, which we have so often neglected and treated with such cold indifference we are made to see the talacity of an unreal religion which does not reach down to and rest on the fundamentals of Christ's teachings and the absolute need of a real genuine deep seated religion, devoid of narrowness, selfishness and hypocrisy a religion that stands the test of the present age, meets present day problems and aplites benefits and heals the wounds of humanity within its reach.
These are indeed dark days, but the darkest hour is the prophet of the coming dawn. God grant that it may be the dawn of a new, better, and brighter day for us all.
The war has ended and the day of a lasting peace, let us hope has come. Delegates from the powers of the earth will soon, sit at the peace table for the purpose of making the world over again. But what is the world but an association of individuals? Can there come a lasting peace, throughout the world before the spirit of peace, equality and justice has come into our individual lives and consciences? Can we have a real democracy throughout our political and social orders without a broad democracy in our spirits and spiritual affairs? With a league of nations effective that does not rest upon a similar league of races and spirits, and which brings, together and harmonized the different elements of human society and cements them with the content of good will and justice?
In other words, is it not true that we are beginning at the beginning to work out these problems on the broad basis of Christianity with the golden rule as our guide? Peace and democracy must begin at the alters of Jehovah and spread throughout the world. The church should lead and set the example. Let us hope that the reopening of the churches may mark the beginning of a great revival of religion, which shall be devoid of bigotry and entirely too Catholic to be continued to any one church or denomination. Can Christianity not come together in an unselfish effort to take the world for Christ? I mean an effort in which each shall truly work for all and all for each. What has Christianity in Los Angeles to say on this subject?

The disarangement of our last week's notes makes it necessary that we say again, that some of our thoughtful members are laying aside their usual offering and will contribute the same as a whole on reopening day and thus the church will love nothing because of these weeks of inactivity. It is to be hoped that every member and friend will as far as possible adopt the system and let us make re-opening day a record-breaker.

SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH Owing to the epidemic our church along with the other churches is still closed. Our people are compelled by law, to remain at home and be content with the silent reading of God's word how long this will continue no one knows. Such a condition of affairs both in secular as well as in spiritual matters, is not within the recollection of any one living. One cannot help the thought - that the hand of God is stretched out correcting the people. Laws are enforced, Doctors and Nurses are worn out, hospitals are overcrowded, coffin factories are working day and night, extra men
are in demand at the cemeteries as grave diggers. Is this not a time to pray? The calamity will not go, by the means put forth by man. God's people must take a very serious position in these dark days. The sword has taken away millions, now the Influenza is doing its deadly work claiming for its victims rich and poor alike. Is it too much to ask that the children 'or God untidy fast and pray, that the plague be stayed? Let those who know the power of the Almighty pray. Nothing else will do. Man's wisdom fails, let us turn to Him who hath power to kill and to keep alive.
As the expenses of God's house must be maintained I request that the Trastees and Deacons of the Second Church meet me at the Y. M. C. A. 9th and Hemlock Sts. Sunday at 11 Oclock A. M. to consider plans for receiving the offerings of our members.
The pastor expresses deep sympathy with all who have lost loved ones, among whom are Sisters Anderson, Ladd and Howard. They have only gone on before-We shall meet them on the other side of Jordan.

Disregarding every other feature in the Mooney case; The dust kicked up by the honest cattleman from Oregon was to our mind sufficient to raise a reasonable doubt as to the stability of the case in which he was found guilty; and striped of every predjudice, one way or the other, the Govenor we verily believe was justified in commuting his sentence.
Truly Thanksgiving day for the year 1918 was one day that all the peoples of the earth had just cause to give thanks.
If any one for one moment thought that our president was going to miss the opportunity of sitting at the peace table they have another guess coming.
The late reports that Dr. Riley turned his head to spit and was counted out as a member of the Assembly from Saint Louis is no more than could be expected from the "Show Me" state.
The people near 12th. and Central who would boycott a merchant because he would protect himself from a gang of Hoodlums, are decidedly in error; There are times; for a principle, when the boycott is justified, but surely not in this case, all good citizens should frown upon disorder and rowdism and the proprietor of the store in question should have our undivided support in maintaining law and order and in squelching the hoodlum element. The EAGLE commends such and condemns in unmeasured terms the acts of of this class of lawbreakers.
SHOW INTENSE INTEREST IN THE HOME COMING OF OUR VALIANT SOLDIER BOYS.
The meting on last Monday evening at the Y. M. C. A. was indeed brimful of enthusiasm for the purpose for which the same was called, the maximum number allowed to gather were on hand, and expressed themselves as in hearty accord with the movement and tendered their services when and wherever needed. Mr. J. H. Shackleford well known business man and leader of the movement was elected as chairman and Captain Crumley was likewise made secretary with these very excellent men at the head the people can rest assured that no pains will be spared to make the home coming of our soldiers just such an event as it should be. While the ban makes it impossible to hold meetings just now, the committees will keep in touch with things and as soon as the ban is lifted, a general meeting will be called.
Some say that the declaration of Peace is the Dawn of a new day. There is one particular group of American citizens who are all eyes just now that they may discern that dawn.
The EAGLE is giving freely of it's columns for a free expression on the Democracy which it is ours to expect, and we will give the utmost consideration to all contributions along this line.
Col. Roscoe Conkling Simmons is going great guns, his reception in Chicago on last Tuesday evening we are told was a most memorable event.
The Broad Axe is not attempting to display any new and JOURNAL RECIPROCITY AVOCATED
unhatched theory not dwelt upon by other weekly news papers in suggesting to our brothers of the craft such a proposition of newspaper reciprocity — in other words "team work" — We are reasonably sensitive of the fact that as Negro Editors we are compelled to fight the race's battles in its advocacy of the great principle of democracy, without any great assistance from the white daily newspapers. We are clamoring as a people for less hostility, and a more just reconciliation, and a nobler manhood; preachment of all that is nourishing and helpful to a race long wronged by the cruel usage of a horrible tyranny. Of course, the man or woman whose noblest nature is gilded by the fine art touches of truths holiest humanity will not need re-adjustment in the things which necessarily must come out of the consequences of the terrible world war, for which nearly a half million Negroes fought for the safety of the world.
We have the feeling strong within us that we have got to get together and do something that may be regarded as assets in some material forms manifesting a disposition that may be accredited as worth while; for instance wev' got to get together on the raising of funds to cary forward the propagandas that so forcibly must bespeak racial progress and development
We've got to learn the new definition for aggressiveness. We've got to form a newspaper alliance to put before our people the chief needs and aims of a people recently awakened to the activities of life, calling forth the very concentrated energy of our people. We should not lag. We have reached a place in the worlds development that calls for the greatest human thought, the best and most lasting endeavor, and we must really do things that only a united people can do.

By Sargeant R. E. Chapman
My beloved readers, at the reading of this, the day has passed, that is set aside by the people of America and from all other days in the year for the purpose of giving provisions to those that are in absolute need, and to be thankful for the blessings that our great Creator has given us since we left the last day of Thanksgiving.
It is never too late to speak loving words and do little deeds of kindness, but many of us think if they are not leading a flock of innocent people their way and are recognized as the big "I" and the little "You," they are not going to help to corporate and assist those that are eligible of leading and are recognized as such. Each and every member of the Afro-American race should be thankful for the avenues that are open for the qualified worker, take heed and make good, so when you have to vacate you are prepared to branch out for yourself and be a man to man. Be thankful that the war is over for a while, and our boys are able to return home safe, and yet they offered their lives for the country that some of the so-called leaders don't give them the credit as brave and heroic men.
When the Pilgrims first landed on the New England coast from England, they gave thanks for arriving safely across the great and marvelous body of water known as the Atlantic Ocean, then let us be thankful for the long and regent journey that we have traveled since we left our native land, and still keeping our heads above the water so when we reach safety we can plant ourselves on the land of prosperity and be known as a progressive and intelligent nation.
The San Diego Home Guard meets Monday and I would like to see a large crowd so the leaders will be encouraged. This is your only chance take advantage and learn obedience and unity.
THE ROAD TO GREATNESS
The desire to be great and to do great things has always fascinated men. Ambition is not necessarily wrong. We should all have a wholesome desire to make as much of ourselves as possible, and to accomplish the largest results within our power. None of us should be content to be less than a god expects us to be. The most a god sense in which God expects every child of His to be great. The trouble is that these ambitions of ours are in danger of becoming degraded by a mixture of lower ideas. If we could always keep before us the thought of being great for God's sake, and for the sake of our归owen men, good results would be certain to follow. Selfishness is apt to creep in here as elsewhere. It is very difficult indeed to safeguard our ambition for greatness. Unless we can hold it clear away from self-seeking, and keeping it untarnished by worldly purposes, it is certain to lose its high character.
Ambition is a noble impulse of the soul, but when it becomes as we say "mere ambition," when it creases to be refined and ennobled by true motives and lofty desires, it is often a despicable thing. There are few things in this world that are so dangerous as a mean and selfish ambition. Nor is there any beauty about it that we should desire it. We all know how we feel about an ambitious person. There are mistaken ideas of greatness against which we need to guard ourselves. The Scripture warns us often on the subject. Our own clear thinking also cautions us against wrong conceptions of greatness. There are those who think that greatness consists in power. Their idea is that to exercise authority, to "lord it," over others, Mark 10:42, is the mark of a great man. Others think that in order to be great they must occupy a prominent position. They love to have the pre-eminence among their fellow men, 3rd Jno. 9, vainly supposing that they are great because they are high.
Still others think that fame and the praise of men constitute greatness. If only they can regain reknown, and have their names written high upon the roll of earthly honor they believe themselves to have attained to greatness. Such as these are the roads to greatness in the world's view. But the world has suffered many disappointments in its great men. There have been great rulers who have become cruel tyrants. They have been exalted men, being high and lifted up, have forgotten their fellow men, and there have been famous men and women, who nevertheless by their selfishness have forfeited their place of affection in the human heart. The world itself being the judge then, there is something more needed to complete, the ideal of greatness. It requires more than "the vain glory of life," to make a man truly great.
The Christian ideal of greatness is wholly different. The Gospel does not belittle authority, nor does it despise high position, nor does it even decry iame. The children of grace are quite as likely to be called to high place and power as the children
of the world. But the Gospel sets up a new ideal, a higher standard of greatness. "Whosoever would become great among you shall be your minister; and whosoever would be first among you shall be servant of all." One may have power, position, fame, influence, weath, but he is not great from the Christian point of view, unless also he has the spirit of service. Indeed one may be lackink in worldly power and position, and let be great in the power of ministry or service.
Universities and colleges bestow honorary degrees upon men for their learning and achievement, but Christ searches out those who have served much, and have been willing to give themselves unto the uttermost to the help of God and man. Upon such as these Be bestows degrees of greatness. According to Christ's teaching there is but one true road to greatness, and that is the road of service. Our Lord Himself walked that way Humanly speaking, he was not great. He was even despised and rejected of men. He held no high position like the rulers of the Jews. He had not been taught in the schools. He was not a product of the culture of the day. Moreover, He came out of lowly surroundings and from an obscure town. Nevertheless He is the greatest of all the sons of earth, because he is the truest servant of all. His is the greatness of service. Because He humbled Himself and took the form of a servant. "Wherefore also God highly•exalted Him, and gave Him the name which is above every name." Phil. 2:5-11.
The Apostle exhorts Christians to have this mind in them, that was in Christ Jesus. That is, all our ambitions and aspirations should be dominated by the Christ idea of service: Our Lord never thought of greatness in a worldly way. He thought only of serving men and saving them and as He did this He found the road to greatness. His disciples cannot do otherwise, for the servant is not greater than his lord: For a Christian the highest ambition is not success and fame, but duty and usefulness. God measures lives not by the distance they climb on the ladder of fame, but by the distance the travel on the road of service.
The rat that has but one hole is soon caught.
As the superintendent, Sister M A Hayden, was somewhat indisposed last Sunday, we did not have any Sunday school but hope all teachers and officers and pupils will be our early on next Sunday.
The president of the B. Y. P. U. Sister C E. Norwood, was present at 6:30 and the officers and members proved very loyal in attending the meeting, which was very interesting carried out. All members and visitors likewise are always cordially invited to attend these services. The morning service of the church was very well attended. The Lord blessed us with three additions to the church, one by letter, one by experience and one as a candidate for Baptism. The candidate will be baptised on next Sunday, December 1st as the morning service. The public is cordially

After all, the problem of life is not a difficult one, for it solves itself so very soon at best—by death. Do what is right the best way you can, and wait to the end to know. But remember, that though death may alter our place, it cannot alter our character—though it may alter our circumstances, it cannot alter ourselves.
Mrs. M. L. White, her daughter, Miss Corona White, and also her daughter-in-law are all very sick with the flu.

The California Eagle reporter for San Diego has been wonderfully remembered this year by receiving love invitations to Thanksgiving dinners. I thank them all, but cannot attend them all. But next week I hope to receive as many calls to pay up back subscription for the Eagle. I will try to attend to them all and then some more. As the year is nearly out we would like to get straight for a new year. If you tail to receive you paper during the Christmas or January 1st, just remember that you have not paid your 1918 sub-scription
Mrs. M. A. Hayden is on the sick list this week
Mr. G. W. Woodby returned home from Louisville, Ky., at 110 last Friday. He preached in the Old-Fellows Theater at Louisville, Ky., for five months. He was also in East Tennessee, his old home, where he had not been for 48 years. In this place he preached at the Pleasant Grove Baptist Church, which was only half a mile from the Old Slave Plantation on which his mother lived 63 years ago. Mr. Woodby has been absent from San Diego and his home for nearly three years, and his return made us think of the prodigal son Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Woodby was out to services Sunday morning. All the same as "Bride and Groom."

In his letter he sends his love to the church and 'Sunday School' of which he was a very faithful member, being treasured and corresponding secretly respectively for many years and he is very anxious that his friends do something self-purified.

We had a number of new arrivals from New York, and we were to present them to the children. Our number of new arrivals is a little too small to represent that batch of 1,000 children that ended in New York. Should we bring the boys over to the house, or not, had we not all of the children come to the house, we would not be present.

What the success of the Square Deal Gas & Oil Co. means to the Negro of this Country
Since this company has succeeded in bringing in Real Oil Wells with a gold production, and since it will be soon paying its stockholders a handsome dividend, it marks a new epoch in the financial history of the Negro of this country. It proves to the world that the Black Man is fully able, without the leadership and assistance of the White Man, to finance and operate big business enterprises the same as anyone else. We have a few more shares of this wonderful opportunity left, and it becomes your duty and the duty of every Race loving Negro to do his bit in supporting and maintaining such a legitimate Negro enterprises. It must be remembered, though, that we are not soliciting your support merely because you are a Black Man and because our company is a Negro concern, but because we are here offering you the same great opportunity that has heretofore been offered principally to the White Man. When our company begins paying dividends, which will be in the near future, it will mean prosperity and happiness throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and Central America to each and everyone of our true, loyal and Race-loving stockholders. It will mean better homes for them; it will mean better education for their little ones; it will mean that broader avenues of business have opened for the Negroes, and lastly, it will mean that the contributions to the churches will be larger, thus enabling them to extend forward the work of God. This, my brethren, is what the success of the Square Deal Oil & Gas Company means to our Race. This, ladies and gentlemen, is why we are sincerely requesting you to buy, and encourage your friends to buy, every share of Square Deal stock that you can possibly get, while you can buy it at $3.00 per share, as we have only a few more shares left. In conclusion, I hope that you will be true to your God, true to your country, true to yourself, and true to your Race by buying as much as you can of this wonderful opportunity.
