Emancipation Celebration at the First A. M. E. Church January 1, 1919 Ema Through the unfolding shades of fifty years, a few survivors still stand on the deck of our ship of state, bearing marks of hard-fought'battles and tidings from the sea of lawless discriminations. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` VOLUME·32 The Emancipation Day Celebration Given under the auspices of the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance at the 1st. A. M. E. Church on last Wednesday was a magnificent success, and saved the day in this community for the day has always on previous occasions been observed. While the ministers had no red fire or brass bands to announce the big event, on short notice a goodly number came out to celebrate the day of all days for the black American, the program was short and sweet, Mrs. Senolia Reeves read the immortal proclamation, Dr. Price offered prayer after several selections by the audience led by Prof. H. D. Greer, the master of ceremonies introduced the first speaker Rev. R. N. Holt, whose subject was, "They have saved others but cannot save themselves", Now be it known that this same man was equal to the occasion, and brought forth one of the best emancipation addresses ever delivered in this city, he had all parts of everything and was indeed a revelation, we think so well of it that we are reproducing it in this issue following this note. Rev. McCorkle of the A. M. E. Zion church followed Rev. Holt with an able address. A collection of $20.00 was taken up for the Y. M. C. A. and then Dr. J. Logan Crawd offered the benediction. "HE SAVED OTHERS—HIMSELF HE CANNOT SAVE." 一 Celebrations—Ancient It was the custom of the ancients to celebrate certain events in their life history. Nero sat in his quiet retreat and sang in memory of the overthrow of Trojan Autocracy; the Romans proclaimed a feast in honor of Romulos, their leader and founder of their dynasty; the Mohamedans keep before their children the memory of their sainted prophet; Ireland perpetuates the name of St. Patrick with annual festivals, wearing the three-leaf twig representing the doctrine which drove heathren worship from the shores of Ireland; proud America meets on the 4th of July, with clanking bell and the nation all song, celebrating an important event in American life; and we, the Afro-American, so called, come on this day, to celebrate an important event in our life's history—the issuing of the Emancipation Proclamation by the immortal Lincoln, January 1, 1863, the act which gave freedom to four million slaves whose descendants are here today shining in the fields of Literature, Science and art; like so many shining forget-me-nots of the angels that twinkle in the infinite meadows of space. He Saved Others. On this memorable occasion, I know not what to present, but when I read in today's journal that while the Negro troops are still in their uniform, and while their wounds are still bleeding, ten members of their race have been lynched within the last three weeks, I am reminded of the ridicule thrown into the face of Christ by the high priest who, passing beneath the cross, joined others in crying at Christ. "We must sob." The California Eagle BIG SUCCESS! ers, himself he cannot save." The Christ, who has saved many, even from the dead, is now in agony; the pang of death gat hold on Him; the populace look on in wonderment; the priest-hood dawn their purple and smite the mitre; the nobility wag their head in satisfaction; the thief said: "Save thyself and us;" the mockers said: "He saved others, himself he cannot save." They are mistaken. This is the battle—the fight just before a triumphant victory. Listen to the bursting bombs. See the rising shadows blend into a 'lap of night,' while the silver queen, in veil, hangs crape on the door of the world, and the golden moose in skirts of crimson, sweeps down the sky. The veil in the temple is rent; the earth trembles; and the rocks slip their folds and from open stratos, ages peep out. A hale settles about the cross, the frightened hurry away and out of the shadow came the cry: "It is finished." This.conqueror of Megidjo, victor of the valley of Ajalon, chased the enemy beyond the grave, returning three days later bearing the heavenly ensign, served notice on the world: "All power is in my hand. Behold I am alive forever more." If you permit me to use the foregoing as a basis, my deduction is: what Christ was to the nations—Spiritually, the negro has been to the world civilly. In as much as the submission and demise of the Christ was no evidence of His weakness; the loyalty and submissiveness and patient endurance of the Negro under wrong is not to be taken as evidence of his weakness. The characteristics of the Negro places him in a class to himself as a nation or race. His past whispers in the present; his present propounds a complex problem and his future echoes with the voice of prophecy. Our History Confounds The World Peculiarly sandwiched between these many races of earth, our history confounds the world. Our record of some four thousand years, dating even from Nimrod, the archer and warrior of the primeval jungles, the glory and grandure of his dynasties, taking into account such shining lights as Isias, the queen of the Nile; Balcas, queen of the South; Candace, the Egyptian emacualte; Solomon, the wise man and biblical genius; Thotmes, the architect of the pyramids; Ramesses, the moulder of the Sphynx, together with later monarch and intellectual stars, as Menaliek, the Abysenian king; Tousant L'Overture, the chieftain of San Domingo; then the immortal Dodd, head of the French army, whose presence disturbed the prejudice of the southerner in arms and caused Gen. Foch to inform the world that when Gen. Pershing came to France, he found Gen. Dodd (Negro) at the head of the French army and that France prosecutes no man be cause of his color. The ghost of these stand at the desks of modern legislators and disturb the slumber of the false Democracy. Moreover, when the survivors of Joff Davis and Vardeman type read of, and hear these intellectual lights—our brilliant lawyers at the bar pleading with the comprehensive finalist of a Gladstone and the successor of a Henry Oler, skilled law San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LCS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, JANUARY 4, 1919 THE OLDEST LARGEST and LCS ANGELES, election at sicians, high on the roll of fame ranking with the world's greatest surgeones; teachers, ripe in scholarship, like Moten, Dubois, Kelley Miller, Parish, Keeling, Page, Carter and Bruce; and the eloquence and gifted heralds of the cross, in melting tenderness, matchless grace of delivery and unrivaled scholarship, men who have preached the story of the Cross with as much force and power as the golden-mouthed Chrystom, or the silver-tongued Savanarola—when these loom up in the night of waning prejudice, our critics are lost in the whirl of the great agitation and stumped by the poise of 'conflicting elements; then, like the priest of the Calvary drama, they cry to the spectators who have watched the battle these fifty years. "He saved others, himself he cannot save." Be United Others Had he saved others? Is the charge true and well founded? Let us take testimony of his beneficency in more recent years. Let the historians—ancient mediaval and modern—dismiss their prejudice and take the witness stand in the court of justice, while truth leads in the 'guiz' In this, we desire to submit to the first charge that we have saved others and in support of our confession, we offer the following: We made good in the land of Shinor; drove Senacharib from the gates of Jerusalem; we brought Ceasar to his knees and hipnotized Mark Anhtony, turning the tide of war; we surprised the shepherd kings; established the dynasty of the Ramesees and left monumental wonders kneeling in the Egyptian plains; we stood with Hannibal on the snowy Alps, heard the charge of this wizard of the Alps and swept like an avalanche to the gates of Rome; and when the American jungles and the tattooed savages defied the on-rush of the Caucasian civilization, we left our native land by special invitation, went with Gen. Bradock into the American jungles, burned the red man's wigwam, smote the forests—stump, trunk, and branch—and gave to the American white man a continent, the most admired of the world.. When tyranny caught the throat of strunggling colonies, we put down the plow and the hoe, left our chains temporarily at the gates of our oppressors, led the charge on Boston Commons, pitched our tents beside Washington's troops in the blood-stained snows of Valley Forge. We fought with Barton at New Port; with Green in Virginia; with Jackson at New Orleans; and when Wolf and Montcalm had fallen asleep on the plains of "Abraham" the war ceased, and the old Liberty Bell rang out the chimes. We went back to our chains as gentle as a maiden on whose cheeks blushed sixteen summers; firm and steady as the Apostle Paul to Nero's last orders as placid as the playful river that baptized her mist in the Minneha-hacalm and serene as the last lingering rays of Italian sun that kisses the bay of Naples goodnight. Have We Saved Others? Yes, we have been the Jeptha for this nation for more than three centuries, in every daring feat, in every trying hour. We kept Perry warm at the North Pole; we caught McKinley's saddness at Buffalo; saved Roosevelt and his successors in that historic escape and planned "Old Silver" on EAGLE CALIFORNIA, JANU UCC the First A. San Juan's thundering crest; we held the torch for American civilization in the Phillipines; pushed Villa from the border line into his mountain retreat, and offered himself as a sacrifice for American honor. This is not all of his benevolence. The greatest tragic drama in the world's history is now scheduled. Six nations are staggering before the maddening rush of Autocracy; the cry of the British, French and Belgians under the butchering hand of Kaiser Bill, drowns the cries of Negro men, women and children in this land of "the brave, and the home of the free," where they are lynched for the slightest provocation, mobbed without the slightest evidence of guilt and then mutinated in a way that would put to shame the most depraved band of outlaws. We heard the cry and when Wilson extended the invitation, we came from the East and from the West, from the North and from the South—out of restricted districts, without the ballot or knowledge of citizenship, Jim Crowed on our way to Camp, compelled to tear off the corner of our death note; we reported three million strong, not being familiar with the registration riddle we marked it and sent it in; then kissing good-bye to our dependants we donned our uniform and took up our march to France—the modern Calvary—forgetting the indignities heaped upon us, the long catalogue of cruel treatments inflicted upon the race, the slaughtering of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, we braved the tides of death's charged billows and reported to Pershing on time. He Is No Stranger On This Battle Field Italy knew him, for it was but a few centuries since he threw open the gates of Rome and swept their thundering cohorts to the sea. France knew him quite well, for before Dodd was placed at the head of the French army, Napoleon had shaken hands with Tousant L'Overture, the chieftain of San Domingo. The English knew him is certain, for the ghost of Chrispus Attucks keeps before her the horrors of Revolution and the loss of the 13 colonies. China knew him of old, for the changed the course of events and made defeat read back to victory in the "Boxer Uprising." Did Spain know him? Ask the lad, King Alfonso. If he refuses to tell, ask the historian. If he has failed to record, ask the survivors of El Cany and San Juan; hear them tell in suppressed articulation the charge of the black troops which shattered the heart of Spanish pride and sent the dove of peace to the gates of Paris while, Hom's Sons sang: "There is a hot time in the old town tonight." Our Political Demise. The Civil War was our "Pass Over;" the Spanish-American War our Gethsemane; and* the shell-torn fields of France our Golgotha. It is here we pay the last installment on the debt of gratitude, and while trembling empires waited, crowned heads looked on, the whitened sepulchres of Autocracy clave asunder, the hood-winked war dogs came through our lines, the veil in the temple of Hun domination was rent in twain, the Kaiser took an indefinite vacation, and at glaven e'Cloth Continued on page 7) M. H. THE LEADING RACE JOURNAL IN THE WEST A LECTURE DELIVERED BY PASTOR DRIVER BEFORE THE DELEGATION OF YOUNG PEOPLES WILLING WORKERS OF THE CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST IN ITS 11TH ANNUAL SESSION AT MEMPHIS, TENN. "Chief Overseer of Y. P. W. W. Young People and congregation at large, Greetings. I am very pleased to have met you in your annual session and speak to you on this important subject. My subject presumes that hite Spiritual has been brought into ative existence; my task therefore is to speak of some of the ways and means by which it may be deepened. The Spiritual nature of man is similar in kind to the nature of God, his Creator. God represents Himself in His revelation to man, under the similitude of waters—living waters, so then comparing Spiritual with Spiritual, it is just to consider the Spiritual of man in its condition and movements as we consider the conditions and movements of waters, viewing God the Father of Spiritas as a vast ocean of water—or Spiritual life and energy. We may view mankind as shallow harbors along the shores of the mighty ocean into which harbors, must come all the vessels of God, richly laden with grace and truth for fallen man. Seeing then that we and you young people are God's dependent harbors for landing his vessels of grace and truth of which many are heavy laden, it is then of paramount importance that these soul harbors be deepened so that these vessels of Divine illumination of deepest draught may enter these portals and bring to man the Divineest things of God. Before the work of deepening the Spiritual life can be successfully and effectively conducted, sounding must be made to determine the present dept, and a knowledge must be acquired of our soul's shallowness. This must be self-study, an impartial and accurate survey of the spiritual nature, its soundings and enviroments, its natural obstructions, and its reefs and shoals. Having our Spiritual depth made known to us by the Divine chartman—The Holy Ghost. When we have discovered our shallowness as above stated, we may begin deepening our Spiritual life—harbors. The specific Paul gives us the example of that which is natural first, and then that which is Spiritual, therefore I call your minds to how natural harbors are deepened. When the bank is sufficient for landing and the water too shallow the degree man comes and blasts the stones, the rocks and piles of earth, sending forth the dynamite blowing up all obstructions, then with scape and shovel removes broken rock, shattered stone, and loosened earth, dumping them over in the deep, where they are washed completely away—so making a deepened harbor for the landing of a vessel. So you members of the Y. P. W. W. begin this evening to remove every obstruction out of your harbor, preparing for bigger vessels. Remove the stone of slothfulness, the rock of ignorance, the mountain of superstition; let God's big vessel, laden with Holiness come into your harbor. Another way to deepen your Spiritual life is to keep your life in constant touch and contact with the Christ of the Gospel, whom the discriminating apostle to the Gentiles calls "the power (dynamite) of God unto salvation" This dynamite of God's power broke the rocks of legalism and shadowed the stony pride of national prejudice of Saul of Tarsus while spending three years in Arabian Deserts and afterwards the Spiritual life of this man of God was so deepend that God landed a band of Angels around a certain jail and shook the earth and loosed his bands and opened the cells of others while He and His chum did sing and pray, and they chum takenon board God's ship, the jailer and his family. We don't have to go only to the early days of Christiandom to find deepend harbors, but all down the line the old ship has found landing places. John Wesley dug so deep until Methodism has reached every civilized land; the voice of a John the Baptist is still heard through all the land. What more is our mist is one whose Spiritual harbor has been so deepened that God has caused to land His Mighty vessel that seemed to be lost in the midst of sectarian fog for many years, sailing unseen by the masses out in these last days. Her headlight, her must pole, her heavy cargo of heavenly freight is being unloaded, and you—Y. P. W. W. are blessed because of her dainties. This man is our chief overseer, Charles Mason; let me speak of this man of God. He has been and is now a leader, a teacher, a father and a friend. 1919 Real Estate Snaps FOR SALE 4-room house at 1815 E. 51st St. $450.00 cash or $600.00 terms to suit. 3-room house in the Redonda Villa Tract, $450.00.

THE JINX PURSUED UR The Eagle for the past six weeks has been working overtime to get away from our Jinx which has most steadily pursued us. The "Pin," the epidemic, hit everybody; the Managing Editor got mixed up with it and was put out of commission; our Lice Operator flirted with it and escaped, but was out of commission for a week; our collector and mailing clerk caught hold of it and held on to it, while our big noise, the big Bidor, made a winning fight, and so he has kept it away. In the meantime however there was some tall hustling to get the great big Soaring Eagle in the mail on time. Last week our out of Town mailing was delayed several days. With jobs in the office, stagnant high, all hands have been waking night and day for the New York. The fight against the Jinx begins for it has won, and we will get there the even tense of our war. ```markdown ``` Re TRE Saaeey eee 0 SE TS RRS TRE ISS NSE ge gc O a ee tes ee ere Oe eee coe PRU ON RN oe Oe SO ee : te e- ° all who attenged services at.

NEW YEAR'S GREETINGS TO THE S. M. T. AND JUVENILES OF CALIFORNIA. I extend to you my heartiest greetings for the year we have now entered upon. May it be a happy and prosperous one for you, individually and in unity, for our order. Looking backward we have many things to be thankful for. Yet, being conscious of our many failures and mistakes which are the common lot of humanity, we can, if we will, profit by experiences and let the lessons of the past be a guide to our future. Looking forward, we have much to encourage us. If we will but be true to our God and our obligations, success will be ours. It will make life worth living. To some extent the S. M. T's have astonished even our friends and confounded our worst enemies. But we cannot stop on our onward march as a Fraternal Order. The S. M. T's of our race can do a grand work in helping the race to progress. As S. M. T's let us look up and not down, help to uplift fallen humanity. Together with our U. B. F's and Juveniles make a name and a record for ourselves in truly exemplifying the principles of S. M. T. Again I extend you all my heartiest greetings. Again I extend you all my heartiest greetings. Yours in S. M. T. SARAH P. SHORES, S. G. P. 934 E. 11th St. Los Angeles Tennis players in Southern California have a decided edge on those in the East, as the weather permits practice here every day in the year, and only seven or eight months these. Our local talent have seven months yet in which to train for the National Tennis Tournament to be held in New York, August 16-23. If we can only persuade all of our best players to train properly and consistently for six months, and then hold elimination contests and pick out the four best and most capable racket-wielders of the local crop, we will feel confident that at least one of them will hold up the honor of our Western family if sent East to represent us. The movement is now on foot, for raising the means for sending "your dear players to view the statue of liberty; only please, please "show some pea!" The Western Tennis Club of St. Louis wants the August tournament to be held in their backyard, but we would rather get a slant at "old Broadway" than a peek at Market St. Wouldn't we be proud to see either Fern Caldwell, Mrs. Henry Young or Gilberta Turner return to us with the crown of Miss E. Roe, the National Champion of Women's Singles, tucked in her suit case? "Oh, boy!" --- The Sojourner Truth·Club will meet Monday, January 6th at 2 o'Clock. A rousing business meeting is expected.

The one bright spot for New Year's day was the Prieaulo's home which was thrown open and visitors were received from 1 p. m. to 11 p. m. A steady stream of visitors wended their way to this beautiful home. Major and Mrs. Prieaulo graciously received and made each guest feel at home. The Major made a striking figure in full dress military uniform. They were assisted by Mrs. Georgia Robinson, Mrs. H. W. Page, Mrs. Greenwood, Mrs. Anderson Brown. the Misses Waltons, and Miss Marian Robinson at the Punch Bowl. In the receiving line also was the mother and father of the hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Stafford, formerly of Kansas City, but who have come to this city to make it their future home, also Mr. and Mrs. Montgroe of St. Louis, Mo. The occasion was a most brilliant affair in which the representative citizens of all classes took part and came away deeply impressed with the fact that Major and Mrs. Prieaulo were ideal host and hostess. Agreeable to cards inviting representative Colored citizens, to meet at Roberts Chapel on last Monday evening, on a matter of vital interest to the race, a fairly good number turned out, the writer among them. The proposition proved to be a contemplated Scenario for a moving picture film, which is an answer to the Ciansman. The proposed nam of the same is "The Black Boomerang". At the little which we heard we were fairly interested; we came for the purpose of listening to the proposition in its fullness. But our Journalistic friend the editor of our contempary. The Citizens Advocate, acceded so anxious to endorse it and to make a speech in doing so, that he could not wait for the promoter to give the reading in full. We do not propose to indorse anything blindfolded and think the promoters make a mistake when they listen to any one man, on a proposition in which they seek the support of all the people. The people came out to see and hear, and the mutterings afterward demonstrated that they were all but pleased at the interruption. We are frank to say that as far as CLASSIFIED ADV. LODGE NOTICE.

We have 72 banks with an aggregate capital of nearly three million dollars and despite poor school systems in many States, we have wiped out more than 50 per cent of our illiteracy and are listed in every movement for better citizenship. Can He Save Himself? I answer Yes. Though barred from the sanctum santorium of the literary and industrial temples, standing alone as a relic of the past, a past too crowded with unpleasant memories, proscribed and hated, yet we are pushing our way to the front and serve notice on the world that we are made in the image of God, and are capable of standing in the foremost ranks as our more favored brother—the Angle Saxon. Yes, he will save himself. He has found out the secret of the king's English, he holds the light for the astronomer as is ladder leans against the sky, he holds the guage in the laboratories of science and indulges freely in metaphysical speculation. Thus equipped, and with public sentiments and prophecy on our side, we may infer that it doth not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when the war lords finish their toasts at Versals, and our boys come home, we shall be like them and be found reaching for at least our share of this world's Democracy. We will come up to our own. R. N. HOLT REV. DRIVER LECTURES TO Y. P. W. W.'s. AT 11TH ANNUAL CONVENTION. (Continued from page 1) misunderstood by many, but honored by our Saviour and His Angels. See him from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from Mexico to Canada, laden with Spiritual food, freeks of nature and songs, putting the world to wonder, May God bless him. Why speak I of these men of God? Because they furnish material through these lines with which to deepen our Spiritual lives—harbors. There are many more whose lives we covet, I will not take time to mention. But my dear young people take courage seeing God is with you, just think that almost every state in these United States are represented here in this Convention. What, the Y. P. W. W's! There is no organization in any church out-leaping you. Halliujah. Methinks I hear the voice of Miss Jennie Catley as she stands tonight amidst a crowded house, the front all filled with the Y. P. W. W., hear her voice. Y. P. W. W., we are allied with Christ and His Apostles, with Moses and the members of the Church of God in Christ. Yes, an army arrayed against sin, and on the battling line. I speak of her and you. I speak of all throughout the church. Soldiers of Christ arise and gird your armour on, the host of sin is fighting hard to keep you from the throne. Never think the victory is won nor lay your armour down, your hardest work will not be done till all obtain a crown. THE PONCE DE LEON Sweet Shop Featuring All Sorts Of Steaming HOT DRINKS.

Mrs. Carrie Hopkins of 1704 Corova St of our city could not go over to be with and give comfort and cheer to the boys that offered their lives in defense of her well being. She gave to the Red Cross of her time and means and at the call of the government for money hers was freely loaned. She did what she could and then wondered if she could do more The thought of writing to the boys cheering them with evidence of the fact that those at home cared, thought and prayed for them came to her and she seized upon it. Through more than three hundred letters she sent cheer to the boys whose gratitude was so profound as to more than repay her for her time, labor and experience. There is nothing she prizes more than these expressions of gratitude from "her soldier boys," that would have been lonely and despondent many days had it not been for her "cheerful letters" to them. Much of beauty is traceable in the character of her correspondence. It was indeed a great work that she did and General Pershing wrote her the same, thanking her for the great services she had rendered to him and to the boys in keeping up their spirit of cheer and courage.

Mrs. Palmer departed from the usual set speech and brought a remarkable message to the large and appreciation audience that gathered in Friendship Baptist Church and filled it to capacity on New Year's evening. At 8:00 o'Clock p. m. the Chorus took their seats in the Choir stand and the Rev. Wm. Prince called the big audience to order, and all stood and sang the Star Spangled Banner, then the Rev. Bishop Jordan, Pastor of the Scott Chapel Church read a Scripture Lesson, which was followed by a very fervent prayer by the Rev. S. B. Danley, in lieu of the Rev. Mack Allen, Pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church who had not arrived. The Chorus then broke forth in the old melody, "Do You Think I'll Make a Soldier," led by Mrs. R. A. Dent. The Rev. Prince then introduced the Master of Ceremonies, the Rév. W. H. Tillman who made one of his stirring and pointed addresses which was applauded from start to finish. A solo then was beautifully rendered by Miss Margaret Prince which was well received, followed by another stirring and earnest address by the Rev. J. F. C. Taylor, Pastor of the First A. M. E. Church. Some very timely and splendid things were said by the Rev. Taylor. The big Chorus then thrilled the audience with, "Get you ready children, don't you get weary," led by Madame Corine Bush Hicks. The Emancipation Proclamation was read by Mr. Harold Prince, Y. M. C. A. Secretary on leave from duty with the 10th U. S. Cavalry in Arizona. The big Chorus then again stirred the congregation with the old Jubilee melody, "I want to be ready, to walk in Jerusalem just like John," led by Mr. Frank Prince. At this time the speaker of the evening was introduced by the Master CENTRAL TAG Fresh Blue Pearl Flap Aunt Makalu Log 1½ lb. Velva Large Eagle Large 3-lb. c. 1-lb. c.

Lake's Grocery and Meat Market Cor. 12th and Central of Ceremonies and for one and a half hours the audience listened to one of the greatest, most masterful addresses ever given in Pasadena on such an occasion. It would be fruitless for me to even try to comment on the dress as I have not the power of description, nor the words at my command to give the readers the faintest idea of the things that the speaker so clearly and forcefully portrayed to her spell-bound audience. At the close of the mighty applause given her at the conclusion of the address the Chorus again lifted the audience with another old Jubilee melody, "I couldn't hear nobody pray," led by Mrs. W. C. Williams. An offering was taken and turned over to the speaker of the evening after about $4.00 expense was taken out. All pronounced it the biggest ever. 一 Quite a number of visitors from neighboring cities were in Pasadena on New Years day to witness the Grand Floral Parade; some of them came in the night before and attended the watch meetings at different churches. Mr. A. Brown of Santa Monica came in on Tuesday afternoon and watched the old year out at the Friendship Baptist Church, and spent the night at the home of Capt. and Mrs. Wm. Reynolds, and on New Years day Mrs. Brown and daughter, Mary, joined Mr. Brown and also Mrs. Kelsey-Gentry and Mrs. Beuraguard al of Santa Monica and viewed the Floral Parade and remained over for the Celebration at the Friendship Baptist Church. They report a splendid time throughout. Miss Estelle E. Harts who was at home on leave from her school at El Centro for the past month, left Pasadena to return to her duties in the School room again on Sunday morning after having fully recovered from come home for recuperation. Miss Marguret Prince left Thursday morning to take up her duties at Allensworth, Cal., where she is a teacher in the school there. Mr. Harold Prince left on Thursday morning to resume his duties at the Fort in Arizona in the Y. M. C. A. Work with the 10th Cavalry stationed there. He spent a delightful week with his parents and friends while here. The Flu claimed another victim among our young people on last Saturday afternoon when Mrs. Bessie Mitchell succumbed to it at her home on Bellvue Drive. Mrs. Mitchell was the wife of Robert Mitchell and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Menton, old residents of Pasadena, and she leaves also two small children, one of which is but a month or so old, also a sister was left to mourn her loss and other relatives and a host of friends. Interment was in the Mountain View Cemetary. The Annual Church Meeting of the Friendship Baptist Church held on Tuesday evening just before the GAIL. FOURTEEN— Watch Meeting resulted in a number o-progressive changes for the incoming year. All officers were re-elected for the next year and many plans were laid for greater work in all departments. The Annual Report of the Financial Secretary showed that the Church was all clear of incidental indebtedness having paid up everything and will go into the new year with only the small amount of less than two hundred dollars on the main Mortgage debt, which is already fully subscribed and will be paid into the Treasurer soon. The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text or details. It appears to be a grayscale photograph of a room with a large window, a desk, and some chairs. The room is dimly lit, and the details are not clearly visible. As a whole the contingent representing the colored people on our police force is a peer to any other group of peace officers. Their service is most excellent and their record good. At present there are fifteen officers from Detective Sergeants Glenn, Stevens and McDuff to Patrolmen L. L. Russell, R. F. Green, H. Garrott, the two Flenmoys Johnson, Hayes, Robinson, Taylor Scott, and Kinhbrough. Officers Glenn and Stevens have made enviable records as police officials and officer McDuff is rated as an invaluable officer who is making a record second to no other officer in the department. Patrolman L. L. Russell is perhaps one of the most popular officers on the entire police force and from all sides the people give him the highest praise, as fearless, courteous and painstaking.

OFF FOR SACRAMENTO Two years ago at the session of the Legislature the editor of this paper accepted a position as an official of the body, tendered, us by Hon. Frank Mouser, who at that time was the Assemblyman from the 74th District. Mr. Mouser was the only member of that body in the entire State to give political recognition to the colored voters of their districts. This year the district is represented by Hon. Fred M. Roberts and he too has tendered us a position in the same capacity. We appreciate very much the confidence, and more so do we feel honored to be the recipient of this favor by the first member of our race elected to such a position West of the Rocky Mountains. While we make a sacrifice in leaving our business for this period, we gain in both experience and knowledge and are enabled to give to our readers vast benefits from being on the scene of action. The Soaring Eagle will give you copious reports of the doings of the Legislature and of the great happenings in and around the political hut of the great state of California.
