The creditor was a Negro. He died in 1821 in the Wyandotte settlement in Upper Sandusky. With the debt, the debtors or the creditor, the St. Regis Indians had no connection. Nevertheless, when approximately 4,000,00 people undertook to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the Negro's first visit to the Wyandottes by raising a fund of $105,000,000 for world reconstruction, at the beginning of this year, the St. Regis tribe doubled the amount asked of them toward the world fund. The Negro creditor of the Wyandottes was John Stewart. Stewart was born of Baptist parents in Powhatan County, Virginia, in 1784. At 35 he was leading a dissolute life in Marietta, Ohio, when he was converted at a Methodist Episcopal Mission, and heard a call to carry Christianity to the Indians. His first visit to the Wyandottes was the founding of the missionary work of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of that visit is the centenary movement of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States. The St. Regis Indians are participating in that celebration through the St. Regis Indian Mission in Hogansburg, N. Y. Louis Bruce, himself a St. Regis Indian, graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and for a time a professional baseball player, is the pastor of the mission. When the Centenary celebration began, January 1, 1919, the St. Regis mission was asked to provide $2,500 to the world fund. The mission had never before been asked to do anything for self-support. In 1917 the gifts to the church thru the mission totalled $28.00 But when the centenary program included it, and it was asked in honor of the Negro who carried Christianity to men of its own race a century ago, to pledge its share of the $105,000, 100 fund, the response was immediate. In two days, $5,100 was pledged in amounts ranging from 10 cents to $2 a week. Indians are speaking in behalf of the centenary movement. Twenty-seven Indians of the membership of 70 have pledged themselves to give one-tenth of their income to the church, in pursuance of the Biblical titheing plan. The final cancellation of the debt of the Indians to the Negro who was the first Methodist missionary in America, came when it was found that the St. Regis Indian Mission was the first church in the Methodist Northern New York Conference to complete the centenary drive for the world fund.

THE MEMORIAL Miss Delliah L. Beasley was born in Cincinnati, Ohio and it was in the public schools of that city that she received her early education. Later at Wittenberg College she attended a Lecture Course on Literary work. The literary work has ever been hers, for since a child of 13 year she has contributed articles to journals, some of the largest in the country and readers of the California Eagle will remember the special feature articles of the P. I. Exposition, which Miss Beasley contributed to this paper. For many years Miss Beasley has been a student of the Negro in the West. "The Trail Blazers of California," is only history of its kind ever produced, and its intent is to give the Negro his due by publishing his true record. Although Miss Beasley has received many paid subscriptions from men and women who realize the worth of such a work, yet many more are needed to bring the book before the public. The work is deserving. Everyone should be anxious to have a true record of the Race in their own library. Order and pay for a book today. THE STAR GATHERING No one need doubt for a moment but what the State Conference called by the editor of this paper to convene at Sacramento on April 4th and 5th will be a grand success. It has been one of our chief aims to refuse to pull any bones, and more especially so when the interests of the people are concerned. Before calling this meeting we consulted freely with the people from all sections of the State and a unanimous answer was received to groa ahead that they were with us to the utmost. Therefore, when we called the meeting we were doing so simply as the agent of the poole. But be that as it may the coming State Gathering promises to be the history making event of the Races on these Western Shores and all who can, should make it their business to be --- Coming to Los Angeles THE CHURCH COLORED HEROES GIVEN ROUS ING WELCOME HOME 162 men of Famous Buffalo ($2nd) Division Come From France Some Wearing Badges—"They always got What They Were Sent to Get," said Pershing. Home from eight months of fighting in France, during which they never retreated, and took every position they were sent after, 162 men from the famous Buffalo ($2nd) Division of all-negro troops, were given last night an unusually demonstrative reception. The mayors of San Francisco and Oakland greeted them with speeches, and a band played martial airs as the men stepped from the ferry and marched to the Red Cross canteen for refreshments. They had already feasted in Oakland, where their reception was opened with prayer. The Buffalo special reached Oakland at 8:11 a.m. Several hundred colored residents of the bay cities cheered wildly as the train came to a halt, and continued the demonstration as their sons and husbands paraded through the Oakland Red Cross canteen, where they partook of the first hot meal since noon. Leader once Policeman The contingent was commanded by First Lieutenant Jesse L. Kimbrough, a former Los Angeles policeman, who was graduated from the first colored officers' Training Camp at Des Moines. Kimbrough at one time commanded a battalion of the 92d when, during the drive through the Meuse-Argonne sector, German shells accounted for the Major and two Captains. Returning with him last night were "WELCOME HOME."

Green of Oakland and First Lieutenant Leonard Stovall of Los Angeles, the medical officer with the party. Lieutenant Kimbrough reported a most generous reception to his troops all the way across the continent by the Red Cross. Trained in Illinois The division, organized and trained at Camp Grant, Ill., went to France in June, 1918. After only a few days' training on the other side the 92nd went into action in the Voyages mountains. Next it saw hard fighting in the Meuse-Argonne area and then replaced some of the flower of the French Army on the extreme left of General Petaling's army Before Meta, and it was fighting continuously until the day of the armistice. About a month ago General Pershing bade farewell to the Buffalo Division at Le Mans, and in a speech he recalled the fact that they had accomplished every mission the general staff assigned them. War Grosse Worn Several French war crosses were brought back in the party, one being worn by William Nichols of Los Angeles. C. H. Seaver, a Y. M. C. C.

Now when you ome to frame ups the men who have had to do with underworld affairs in this man's town are past masters of the art, their fine Italian hands have put more than one individual down for the count. We are too far away while writing this article to properly size up for comment the alleged frame up on Officer Glenn; but we were right on the scene of action when they framed and got Broady and White. What we had to say at that time about the proposition we have never had cause to change their minds. These two officers had made a ruthless warfare against alley rats, gamblers and every other sort of vice; when they did that thing their doom was sealed. We stood up for them, many other forces in this community stood up for them, but the words of confessed crooks, bribers and rag tags of our citizenship, was taken in preference; therefore the frame up was a fact. The insidious propaganda of the gentry was too strong, it could not be overcome, it had hypnotized even officials who had no guilty knowledge. It was a foregone conclusion that Officer Glena would ultimately become a target, and from afar we can see that it is more than probable that they have temporarily at least triumphed over one of the very best officers who has ever been on the police force of Los Angeles. Glenn is the man who closed up vice on Central Ave., only a short time ago. No Sir; the man who would dare do such a thing as this must be dethroned, so to us at this distance the alleged frum up on him looks very probable and natural as well. However, we are hopeful that ultimatell, justice will assert itself and that all will have their full share of the same meted out to them. One of the sad features in connection with this whole affair is the fact that we have members of our own race, supposedly of the highest intelligence, who will stoop so low in the scales of citizenship as to attempt for sordid reasons to crucify anyone by inuendo or otherwise at the behest of selfish greed, but 55 years of civilization it seems is not sufficient to get us away from this state of affairs, it started in slave time, when the same sort of creatures would betray their brothers when they attempted to escape their chains via the underground railroad. But without question they will all get their just dues. Look at the record of traitors. Essa, the hungry, who sold his birthright for a mess of bacon and greens, despised by posterity; Judas Iscariot who betrayed the Savior hanged himself. Benedict Arnold who betrayed his country became a man without a country; and countless others too numerous to mention. So don't forget the modern day traitor will get THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT.

Amid the profusion of the flowers signifying welcome hungering souls lingered from early morning until evening, waiting to be fed by the efficient pastor who has returned from a successful trip across the continent. He found his Sunday School, which opens at 9:30 a.m. every Sabbath, in full bloom. Preachin at 11:30 a.m. m. by Rev. Davis, the assistant pastor, from Proverbs 14:34 Subject—"Righteousness," and many practical points were brought out by this able young minister. The B. Y. P. U. was well attended as usual, opening on time at 6:30 p.m. The pastor took charge at 8 p.m. The choir came in in all its splendor on time. Every pew was occupied and the many many souls were not disappointed for Rev. J. D. Gordon's subject was—"Salvation," and he indeed drew the water from the well of Salvation to quench their thirst—Isaiah 55th Chapter. The importance and gratitude were made plain. 3 Souls were added to the church. The pastor will preach at both services next Sunday; Subject: "Desire" (Morning); "The Homeless Christ" (Evening). Come early to secure a good seat. Memorial services for the late H. H. Williams will take place in the near future. GRANT CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH Watts, California W. C.

FIRST A. M. E. ZION CHURCH— Rev. J. E. McOckle, Pastor Sunday last at the Y. M. C. A., Hemlock and 9th Ste., was a great day with us in Zion. Bishop Kyles was with us all day and preached three times to large, appreciative and responsive audiences. The Convocation also on Monday night was quite a phenomenal affair, although the wires were crossed in the program, yet the exercises were very delightful to all who attended. The work that Bishop Kyles has accomplished since he has been on the Coast has been excellent, in less than three years eight churches have been established, representing a membership of four hundred, and a property value of $21,000. Many of these churches have been established where there were no Negro church organizations, and where both the Colored and White constituents wanted such organizations. Under his efficient leadership Zion bids fare to become one of the strongest agencies on the Coast for evangelization, and an enviable bride and happy companion of IR PREPART LY SKIN AND I ir Way, 'First Al Ruga, 905 Central Ave.; Prentice Pharmacy, 112 Ave.; Mma.

Pastor Greggs delivered two masterful sermons using for his subject at the morning hour, "The Wretched Man." In the evening, "Eagle Flights." Both sermons were extremely edifying and were well received by the large audiences. Three new members were enrolled. The music by the choir was enjoyed by every soul present. Soul-stirring soles were rendered by Prof. Johnson; Bro. Emanuel Hall; and Mrs. Madeline Orsborne. On next Sunday in addition to the regular services at this church the Knight of Pythias Fraternity will hold their annual service in the afternoon at 3 o'clock.

The sermon was forceful and the Holy Spirit was present in demonstration and power. The pastor preached a soul-stirring sermon to a splendid congregation at the evening service. In short the services at this church are always of a very enjoyable nature because they are highly spiritual. The quarterly Communion will be administered. The "Willing Workers" Club was organized by the pastor on Monday evening and the members started off with much zeal. This organization promises much to the church life of this congregation.

SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH 740 Maple Avenue. Through the unfiring efforts of Sister Evans of the Home Department, our Sunday School reached "High Water Mark" last Sunday. The attendance was remarkable, so much so that even Superintendent S. P. Johnson was satisfied. The Lesson on The Appointment of the Cities of Refuge, was full of teaching and called forth the best in all our teachers. The setting forth of the chief points by the Superintendent, and the summing up by the pastor gave evidence of thoroughness of study and correctness of application. It is a matter for thanksgiving that the hand of our God is with us in this branch, as indeed in all the other of God's favor and blessing. Truly the Master was with us. The Young People held their usual meeting in the evening and greatly enjoyed a message from a visiting brother. Dr. Prowd takes occasion to thank every person and all the churches who in any manner took part in the Lecture given by the Rev. Dr. Francis at the First Baptist Church last week. Speaking for the Officers and Members of the Second Church, the Pastor would again thank Dr. Francis, and also Brother Carter, sexton of the First Church, for what they did for us. The gross receipts from the Lecture was $81.49. Owing to the Flu our Clubs were much hindered in the work of raising funds for our New Church, still those who have the Church at heart have been doing their best in its interest as evidenced last Tuesday Night when the various Clubs reported at our first call, $642.34. God bless the faithful workers who well deserved the unanimous vote of approval which accorded them. The following Captains have reported: Mrs. Hubert; H. D. Prowd; Mrs. J. H. Holkins; J. E. Williams; A. J. Jennings; Sister Cotton; Hulbert-Bass; M. Taylor; Skates; McClain; E. G. Stewart; A. E. Jones.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH—F. C. Cothran, Pastor Having been absent from the city for the past three Sundays, in Revival services at Calexico, Cal., and having just returned, we are expecting to resume our regular services next Sunday, and desire the presence of all members. Results of revival services in the Valley were very gratifying. The church was much revived and greatly encouraged. We have never met a more hospitable, courteous and considerate people than those in Calexico, and we were never more royally entertained than while there. There was placed at our service "Baby," the old gray mare, and buggy, of Mr. and Mrs. John McCallum. We enjoyed this kindness exceedingly, as there are no street cars in the town. Moreover, we enjoyed beyond the power of description the richly ladened table, at which we sat daily, in the home of these good people. Mr. S. D. Hoon, Mexican rancher, when present, delighted to serve in the kitchen of this, his sister's home, as chef, and he always put things over in grand style. Mr. Hoon has 120 bales of cotton to sell. Cotton was (Monday) 25c., and still increasing in price. Mr. Hoon plans to leave the Valley this Spring, and locate in some city and establish for himself a business. Get ready now for "Contest of the Months," and "Festival of the Year," by ladies of the Mite Missionary Society. Booths and a Spring Hat Sale will be additional features at this grand affair on Tuesday night. April 8th. A good treat in store for all. "True Test of Religion," was the subject of the sermon preached by the pastor last Sunday morning. The pastor said in part; "Religion is Self-Surrender. It is not necessary to pass on the question as to whether the self-consciously ploys are regenerated. It is enough to say that their religion is not the best brand. Christ was not in the habit of telling his disciples that they were spiritually minded. He did not call them to a religion of self-culture, but to a religion of self-surrender, self-restraint, self-marriage. The Apocrypha did not make a display of their graces. They seem not to have change that they had any to display. spiritual attainments is a stranger to the very genius of Christianity. Any kind of egotism is bad enough; but when one is proud because he is good, he unmasks a form of conceit for which even the wardrobes of heavenly charity can furnish no cloak of concealment." At the evening service, Miss Augusta Lamb, one of the Sunday School workers of the West Lake M. E. Church spoke. She brought us a great message. The message was inspiring and all enjoyed it.

Scott as host and hostess at the home of the latter; complimentary to our Assemblyman, F. M. Roberts of Los Angeles. Other guests sharing the pleasure were: Mr. J. B. Bass; Mr. S. Overton; Mr. H. D. Greer; Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Robinson. The need of a perfect day was spent at the three churches by different members of the happy party. Mr. J. B. Bass spoke Sunday night to a crowded house at the A. M. E. Zion Church. Much benefit is derived from these talks given frequently by Mr. Bass. There is much talk of the coming State Conference to be held in this city on April 4th and 5th. Many out of town visitors are expected. Rev. Riddle plans a trip to Pasadena Saturday to visit his family. Assemblyman Roberts gave a practical and instructive talk Sunday evening at St. Andrews which would have been an uplift to all of our people of this or any city. We have just cause to be proud indeed of this our reresentative and should certainly show our appreciation by not only entertaining him socially but by giving him our presence when and wherever he speaks to the public and thereby gain more knowledge of the current events and other things to our advantage.

Robinson were host and hostess to a number of friends at a pretty St. Patrick's party Tuesday evening in honor of their son-in-law, Mr. H. D. Greer of Los Angeles. Music—instrumental and vocal—furnished pleasure until the call to a most delightful supper at a late hour was made. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. T. D. Walker; Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Scott; Mrs. Belle Mills; Messrs. J. Buchanan, J. B. Bass, J. W. Mills, S. W. Overton, G. E. Francis, Assemblyman F. M. Roberts and H. D. Greer. The Men's Meeting at St. Andrews Sunday evening proved a very interesting feature and though short talks given by, the different men made impressions which will linger in the minds of those present. Mr. T. M. Jackson of San Francisco was a visitor in the city this week as the member of the Legislature committee of the N. A. A. C. P. of that city. B. W. Fields of Oakland is also a visitor in the Capitol city in the interest of legislation before the Senate. He is a representative of the Negro Business League of Oakland. Mr. Sherman Overton of Los Angeles by his steady deportment and amiable disposition has made a host of friends since his coming to this city.

SPENCER Agt. on Property THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE OAKLAND ITEMS (By Labaina Carey) The Fannie Coppin Club is making appropriate preparations for the Roland Hayes Concert, at the Civic Auditorium, March 28th. Both Oakland and San Francisco threw their doors wide open to welcome the home-coming of the California boys, of the 92nd Division Long before the train pulled in, a mixed and enthulastic crowd of mothers, friends, relatives, sweethearts and citizens of both races had assembled at the station to catch first hand glimses of the boys. Every face wore its best smile for it indexed real happiness and pride. As the city siren whistled forth its tones announcing the troop train, emotional cheers went up and the Mayor, in befitting manner representing the city of Oakland, received and welcomed the boys. The train had scarcely come to a stand still before the boys had mingled with the crowd each with staring eyes to find the loved ones he knew. Lieutenant Kimbrough, in charge of the Division, made a splendid speech in behalf of his men. After remaining for a few hours in Oakland, the men were transported across to San Francisco. At the Ferry Building they were met by the Mayor, his wife and party. The welcome given them in San Francisco will go down in history. Mayor Rolph made a splendid speech. He then turned the reception over to a committee, which not only served the boys with kind words of welcome, but with a caberet, entertainment and good music. Here again Lieutenant Kimbrough did some good talking. Both in Oakland and San Francisco the Red Cross treated our boys with the usual Red Cross Canteen courtesy. At 10:30 they left in army trucks for the Presidio. Mr. W. Butler had charge of the affair. Oakland Hall in San Francisco was the place of merry meeting and dancing on Monday night in honor of "the boys" under the auspices of the War Community Service Committee. Mrs. Tilghman and Mrs. De Hart made fine welcome addresses. MARYSVILLE NEWS Most all the Race people of this city and some white also both the white and colored canteen girls were at the Western Pacific Depot Friday afternoon to extend a welcome to about 150 colored soldiers who had just returned from France and were on their way to the Presidio to be discharged.

SOLDIERS SAY THEY GET Everybody gives the dark- hued American credit for his ROTTEN TREATMENT IN FRANCE. FRANCE, Feb. 19. Mr. Jno. A Wheatley: Will you give this to Warley of Louisville News as we are being treated very badly by White Officers. They beat us over the heads with pistols and guns. They don't allow us to have guns. We go in the orderly room to speak to the captain and get beat up with guns. They have told the French we are no good and are prisoners. Sergeant Anderson beat a boy up in the Captain's office with a gun. The boy was taken to the guard house. We have been over here nine months and have been treated worse than German prisoners of war. We wish this could be typewritten and sent to the Congressman from the Fifth District. No one knows how we are being treated. We wish to God some would speak before it is too late, as the boys won't stand it much longer. We have no one to appeal to for help. This letter was smuggled out by a French girl, so don't let anyone see this writing. Help the black boys of the 515th Engineers. Our company is D. Thanks for any help and goodbye. You may read of us before long. 515th Engineers, Co.D., A. E. F.—Louisville News. Tuesday Evening marked a new epoch in the history of the Second Baptist Church if this city. This church is the oldest colored church in this city. For something over thirty years it has occupied the same modest church home, Maple Ave. The members somehow have been content to move along in the same channel; even though new and more pretentious church edifices have sprung up all about them the members seem not to have caught the spirit to build. Under the pastorate of the late Dr. J. L. McCoy, who departed this life a few years the church membership began to grow, and with the coming of Dr. H. D. Prowd, present pastor, it continues to increase weekly, having on its membership roll some of the most substantial business and professional people of the city to the extent that a new edifice is needed. On last Tuesday evening when the membership came together to hear the report of the Clubs, $642.34 was laid on the table as a starter for the new church, and enthusiasm in its entirety seems to be in favor of a new church and they seem also to realize that they have in Dr. Prowd the right man for the job. Dr. Prowd is a veteran church builder, having erected monuments to the credit of his denomination in this country, Central and South America. And so the slogan for the Second Baptist Church at present is "A New Church." If this is a true story of the treatment of any part of the Negro end of the U. S. Army or Navy doing duty in France, we would consider it humane on the part of President Wilson if he would find time to see that a square deal was accorded all men, especially those who are giving their life, end liberty in defense of the country. The extra session of Congress called for the 15th day of May, will be entitled to the term extraordinary session. We are anxious to receive notification of the Peace Conference from the pen of Dr. W. Everybody gives the dark-hued American credit for his courageous part in the recent war for a world democracy, but we are not hearing much about his getting anything worth while. District Aty. Woolwine is stepping steadily and firmly into the lime-light as a real man interested in the real hings of life and the dailies all over the country are taking notice. Stop that jealousy and get together for the general good of the race. MOVING PICTURE BILL HANGS IN BALANCE The Oakland Negro Business League headed by that hustling and wide-awake business man, E. B. Gray, so ably assisted by E. Marshall, J. M. Bridges, M. Dodist, and others have made a manful fight for this measure, which would forever bar from this State such prejudice-making photo plays as the Clansman and other nefarious pictures which tend to create race prejudice and incite men and women to commit crimes. So far as organized effort is concerned they have thus far fought alone, but the measure is so broad and so worthy that we believe that it is the bounden duty of all our organizations and citizens to fall in line and back up this organization in its fight. All over the State people who stand for democracy and real justice should get busy at once and let their Senators and Assemblymen hear from them in no uncertain tone, sen wires and letters asking them to support this measure. Bill makes its appearance in Senate On last Monday the bill as reported from the judiciary committee with the recommendation that it do pass, but owing to the determined opposition of the moving picture interests it was passed for the day; Tuesday morning it came up again and at request of one of the Senators and agreed to by its author, it was referred back to this same committee for amendment (possibly unless everybody gets buy, for a long sleep) and now the committee will give another hearing for this measure on next Monday evening. Putting Dollars Against Democracy The strong card which the Picture interest play in this game is the stupendous amount of money they have invested and that it is the Seventh industry in the nation. Their attorney puts dollars before lives and a square deal for 12 Million of its inhabitants, but for all that there seems to be some of the Senators who will insist on legislation with will bar such pernicious photo plays as the Clansman. And the question of dollars will not effect their stand on this proposition. The Eagle will send forth the vote of this measure as it will no doubt be of more than passing interest to see how the legislators from the various districts stand on this momentous question. Civil Rights Bill Will Be Reported Out of Committee Soon Out of Committee Soon The Civil Rights Bill, No. 693, introduced by Assemblyman Roberts will doubtless be reported out of Committee before our next article. This bill simply makes the one on the State books at the present time a little stronger and less red tape to get legal redress for violation of the law. We see no real opposition for this legislation and we predict that it will pass both houses and become a law. All Roads Lead To Sacramento On April 4th and 5th The big event of a decade will be the State Conference called at this city on April 4th and 5th. At this meeting there will be, formed a state wide organization for the promotion of business movements and for the exploitation of becoming real producers. Information is at hand from all over the state that a good representation will be present at this site. portion of the State indicates a good attendance from Central California and the Bay Cities a strong representation will be on hand. This Will Be the People's Gathering The fact that this meeting is promoted by the forces which stand at all times for the people, lends great force to the same, there will be no big guns or preferred delegates; everybody will stand on an even footing; and thusly equipped they will go forward and do real business for the interests of all the people. Will Organize Press Association Pursuant to an agreement with the owners of the majority of our newspapers a call has been issued for a meeting of the newspaper men for the purpose of organizing a press association to be composed of all legitimate race publications in the State. The propose to organize for mutual protection and a unified action along all lines for the benefit of their readers. The menace of barefoot and irresponsible fake newspapers casts a cloud upon legitimate papers and they are forced to concerted action for self protection. So therefore, the week ending April 4th and 5th will in reality be a big week in Sacrament.

TENNIS CHATTER Wm. M. Watson If anybody has heretofore felt a little fearful of just how our players would conduct themselves when under fire, and away from home, and in fast company, just forget it right away, and stick out your chest, because they surely met some real Tennis players last Sunday at the Santa Monica Municipal Courts. Fern Caldwell, Mr. and Mrs. Paul R. Williams, Chester Williams, Wm. B. Allen, Ballinger Kemp, Joe Oliver, Johnnie Ferrouillet, E. J. Peters, Rescue Broyles and the Scribe ever present when Mr. Simpson, Mr. Sinsabough and Marshall Ketchum, two of the best players in the West walked on the courts to try out our boys, and you should have seen our boys play tennis. Mr. Sinsabough of the firm of McLaughlin Bundy and Sinsabough Sporting Goods Co., in the Hass Bldg. and Ma Ketchum have promised to play with our boys at the Alpha Court any Sunday we select, so let's get busy. Wouldn't 10 a. m. Sunday, April 6th be a suitable date? These players who are going East can get a world of good training by playing with these fast men. The ladies should join right in also, don't be backward girls, you can learn to play a much better game by playing with men than playing with another lady. Last Sunday Fern Caldwell played with three men, the fastest sets of her career, and she and her partner didn't lose the majority of their games at that. Henry Jones who was the only clerk to report this week has secured the following subscriptions: Raymond E. Smith, $1.00; J. B. Lewis, $1.00; G. W.

The pastor will preach morning and evening. We are in the midst of our effort to add 100 new members by Easter. Every service will be evangelical until then. About ten minutes will be given at the evening services to answer the questions sent in this month. Wesley promises a real spiritual treat to all real worshipers.

The necessity of Christian service was vividly set forth. The christ life is a life of faithful service. Professors of Christianity, whose lives do not conform to the standard of righteousness, are as salt without its savor.

All welcome (Continued from page 1) to the front of the platform, he was greeted with thunderous applauses as the fearless champion of his oppressed Race, the smile from his face faded into seriousness as he came before the Bar of Public opinion to plead for a Square Deal for the Race; he stirred the vast audience as he told the story of the Negroes' Loyalty and devotion he reviewed the meandering of the Race's pilgrimage for more than three hundred years here in America, the Land of their adoption, until the Negro wrote with his life's blood his dying devotion to Old Glory, the flag that gives protection to every race saving her own Black subjects. It was then that Black Billy cried out with bitter indignation that while President Wilson is battling for the League of Nations to give protection to the Serfs of Europe while Negroes are being lynched here in America the Land bf the Free and Home of the Brave, with the exhibition of the Birth of a Nation to stir up racial hatred against Negroes, America becomes the Damnedest Hypocrites this side of Hell; this statement was greeted with prolonged applauses that made the rafters of the old Tabernacle resound with the enthusiastic approval of the immense gathering, which was a protest against such pernicious pictures as the Birth of a Nation being exhibited here in the Capitol City. Black Billy in his characteristic way had struck the blow that had sounded the death knell, he had scored a victory for the Negroes of Austria, after former defeats, and had proven himself the man of the hour, he closed his masterful plea for a square deal and man's chance. He warned the South that the hour was coming when a Race that had proven themselves the world's most invincible fighters would not submit to their women being lynched as they had struck the blow for the world freedom, they would strike it for their own protection; the big audience went wild. Dr. Crawford, the Chairman, in commenting on the remarkable address, endorsed the speaker and called on Pastor L. L. Campbell, who spoke briefly and told of the passing of such Negro haters as Vardaman, Cole, Blease, Ben Tillman and others who rode into public favor by cursing the helpless Negro. He then called on Mayor Woolridge for an expression. The Mayor came to the platform amid intense silence and in words of commendation, said that he endorsed the words of Black Billy, and that he and his colleagues had decided to enact a City Ordinance that would forever prevent not only the Birth of a Nation but any other picture or play from being exhibited in the city of Austin, under the penalty of having the play house's license revoked for the violation of the ordinance. This statement of Mayor Woolridge's was received with thunderous applauses and cries of good! Good! The Mayor further said that the Commissioners had also agreed to money each month for the maintenance of a Recreation Center for Negro boys and girls, thus the colored citizens have scored a signal triumph and when the meeting closed, hundreds of enthusied men and women surrounded the fearless Negro Evangelist and warmly congratulated him, not only on the fearless defense, but on the great victory achieved for the Race. The Committee men who fought in the trenches were: Dr. E. W. D. Abner, Lawyer Dawkins, Major P. Graham and Drs. S. L. Brown, and L. H. Harbert. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People have, by their united support, achieved a big victory after three defeats in their attempts to debar the exhibition of the Birth of a Nation here in Austin, but in this united effort they have forever closed the doors against all such strife breeding pictures here in Austin for which these fearless leaders have won the undying thanks of Negroes everywhere, and the name of Black Billy Sunday will live on in the memory of decent race, loving men and women for the good that he is doing when those that would dare to cast a slur upon his name are sleeping in unmarked graves, unwept for and forgotten, millions will be still singing his praise.

BELOVED PASTOR RETURNS AFTER EXTENDED VIS- IT IN THE EAST Sunday morning as the little bright messengers of the sun kissed the sleeping eyelids of the children of men and bid them awaken to the mysteries and beauty of the Spring morning; several awake with a start, wondered, and then remembered— At eleven o'clock there had gathered at the Santa Fe Station a host of the Tabernacle Machines, in waiting. It was the hour of service at the Tabernacle and out of the hearts of those that waited; more beautiful hymns had never gone up before the Creator, for they were praises out of happy hearts brimming over with love. The whistle blew, the train heaved its last choo-choo with a sigh of relief and then stood still. With a glad shout the host of friends, Deaconeses of the church with arms laden with flowers and gifts, rushed forward, amid the embraces of loved ones, tears of joy and glad shouts of all, the Rev. J. D. Gordon, pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist Church alighted from the train Sunday morning. In an auto he was carried to the church where he was given a chance to say a few words of greetings to those who waited to welcome him. Sunday evening he preached to a packed house. So after many months of visiting in the East the shepherd of the Tabernacle has returned and the flock can truly say from experience "You never miss the water till the well goes dry." Just how much you think of your women, hence the future of your race can be measured by the amount you have given or will give in the campaign that closes Monday March 25th.

We have tried, and retried the many men who have told us what they would do for us if elected, and as you never know a horse until you try him, let's come together and give this woman a fair trial. If she doesn't make matters better, she certainly cannot make them any worse—So don't forget to vote for Mrs. Runkey, the only woman who had the nerve, grit and veracity to run on the ballot for Councilwoman.

On last Sunday afternoon, the Negro Women's Council, and also visitors enjoyed a very interesting talk by Attorney E. E. Hendee, as to "Why we should not, sign the League of Nations." Every colored man in San Diego should have been out to hear this all important subject, and to ask questions concerning it; but it does seem like if the race is uplifted at all it will be through the women. There were only a very few men present, the majority of them were standing, holding up the corner at 5th and Markle Street. Mrs. Runkey, who is running as a Candidate for Councilwoman, was also out and gave a talk, as did Mrs. Long, who talked on the water system of San Diego. Prince U. Kaba Rega was in San Diego one day this week. No man should live in the world that has nothing to do in it. On Tuesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. I. Wooden, on Valley Ave., a social was given for the benefit of the Athenian Club. Refreshments were sold and the social was a grand success; dancing concluded the later part of the evening. He is a good friend who speaks well of us behind our backs. Miss Caroline Brown of Downey, California, is in San Diego, stopping at the Richmond Hotel. To know one perfectly, one must live in the same house with him. On March the 8th at Masonic Hall was witnessed a very gallant affair by the younger set of San Diego, when a soial in the form of a 45th Anniversary was celebrated in honor of the birthday of both Miss Edith Thompson of Coronada and Miss Marguerette Hunter of San Diego. The Hall was decorated with beautiful ferns, and palms a nd the ladies all in their evening gowns and the gents in their full dress suits. A three-piece orchestra, furnished music for the occasion and refreshments were served. Dancing was the main feature of the evening; both young ladies received presents gallore from their many friends. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Oliver are the proud parents of a 9 pound baby boy. The Friday Afternoon Club met last week at the home of Mrs. G. Hodge at 1720 Newton Ave. All of the members were present, and a delightful meeting was held, under the efficient leadership of Mrs. E. Perry as President. Mr. and Mrs. P. L. Moore at 533 30th St., are the proud parents of a 9 pound baby boy. "We carry our neighbor's fallings in sight; we throw our own over our shoulders." On last Thursday evening Mrs. Carrie De Frantz on 3rd St. was brutally attacked by a negro assailant by the name of Rogers Brown, from Imperial Valley. He came a nd asked for a room, and after being admitted, and finding her alone, assaulted her; several gashes on her throat made with his pocket knife was left as evidence. Brown has not had his trial yet, but is in the hands of the authorities. He's a wise man who can make a friends of a foe. The services at Mt. Zion were enjoyed immensely, Sunday by all who attended. The Sunday School lesson was indeed interestingly presented by the able Superintendent, Mrs. M. A. Hayden. The morning sermon was delivered by Rev. Green, who is supplying the pulpit until a pastor is called. His text Sunday morning was found in Luke 13: 9. The B. Y. P.

Last Friday evening 162 Colored Soldiers of the 365th Infantry reached San Francisco on the last lap of their journey just before demobilization. They were given a rousing welcome, which was their due and each and every resident of the Bay Cities felt more than proud of the brave sons who distinguished themselves before the entire world. Boys who were but urchins a few short years back, have returned grim veterans of the bloodiest war of all the ages. Confronted with dire hardships and distress, they have come back to us better and bigger men, filled with pride and enthusiasm for up-lift in all walks of life. Lieut. Jesse Kimbrough of Los Angeles, headed the Contingent, and everyone was unanimous in delaring his address which he delivered at the Ferry, as filled with patriotism, and admonitions to protect the valiant warriors who had upheld the honor of the Country. The applause was deafening, and our eyes filled with tears as we beheld this splendid type of young American manhood pouring forth in fitting language the worth of the Colored man as a soldier. Mayor Davie of Oakland, headed the assemblage that had gathered at the Oakland Terminal to welcome home these brave lads, and then, led by the Municipal Band of the Bay City, the vast throng made the trip across the bay where they were welcomed by Mayor and Mrs. James Rolph at the Ferry Building. One Minute girls and several workers of the Red Cross served a hot meal, and distributed cigarettes and gum to the soldiers, and after a rest of several minutes, during which they were entertained with selections by the San Francisco Municipal Band, addresses etc., by many citizens, and officials, they departed for the Presidio in Government Trucks, where it is said they will be demobilized within the week. On Monday evening, at Oakwood Hall the War Community Service will tender them a mammoth reception, and the music will be furnished by several pieces from the different orchestras in and around the Bay Cities. This is the beginning of a series of entertainments, as the trains will bring in from now on hundreds of Buffalos and Pioneers returning to their homes and loved ones after months and months of privations. Mighty, mighty proud are we of these bronze heroes whose names will go down in history as the men who have fought hard to make a New World.

All of the boys that went away in the first draft on Oct. 27, 1917, and were trained at Camp Lewis, and Camp Grant, and went over seas in June, 1918, and after more training in France fought on two or three different fronts in France in the last big drive for Metz, are all back and are in San Francisco for demobilization which should be completed by the list of this week, and the boys should be home by Sunday morning. Out of the total number that went over seas all, except one are back, safe and sound. The one is Thomas Franks, who was transferred to a Mahine Gun Company. He also is back in the United States; but was brought back in a Hospital Ship and landed at New Port, News, and sent to a Debarkation Hospital at Hampton, Va. A telegram from him to his cousin, Mra, Rosemond, of N. Vernon Avenue, appraised her of the fact. The telegram, however, did not state whether he was wounded or sick, we are inclined to think that it is only sickness, and we all hope and pray for his early recovery and return home. Friendship Baptist Church Notes. Services on last Sunday were above the ordinary. The Sunday Shool at 9:30 a.m. was well attended, and a very interesting lesson was can- MODESTA NEWS The Union Meeting of the A. M. E. Zion and the Second Baptist Churches closed Sunday night, March the 9th, after two weeks of a great Revival. The Rev. J. W. Anderson, District Secretary of the Northern California Baptist Convention and General Missionary of the General Baptist Association of Northern California, preached every night uring the Revival meeting, and at each service it seemed that he grew better in his seminary.
