AT THE STATE CAPITOL (By a Staff Member) The legislature is now working overtime and a mass of bills in both the Assembly and Senate confronts these two bodies; of course many measures will never see the light of day and indeed the Senator or Assemblyman who gets proper consideration for his measures at this stage of the game must know his "Stuff." Big things are being brought forth in these closing days of the session. In the Senate the Japanese question at a high tension has been kept at the forefront, and culminated in send-in a resolution to the Peace Conference against recognizing the demands of the Japanese at the Conference, a valiant fight has been made by the economist and efficiency experts to bring forth their measure for consideration. Roberts Scores Assemblyman Roberts succeeded in having several of his measures brought forth and passed during the past week; at least three of his bills have been passed by the Senate and as soon as the governor affixes his signature they will become laws on our statute books. He is now making a valiant fight to bring out his bill amending the Civil Rights bill which is now on our statutes. This is a highly important measure and it is expected to be passed and become a law. Picture Bill Fails To Pass. By a vote of 17 to 22 the bill to prohibit pictures, which tend to create racial strife was refused passage in the Senate on last Monday. The Negro Business League of Oakland stood sponsor for this measure and maintained a lobby there to promote the same. However, the bill was amended again and again until it reached such proportions that it was in fact a detriment to have it passed, and the Eagle shall certainly hold nothing against any Senator who failed to vote for this measure; despite the fact that we were strong and hearty supporter of the same in its original form. Form Press Association In the State Capitol building on last Saturday subject to a call for that purpose, all of the weekly race journals of the State except one were represented on the occasion of the organization of a Press Association. A temporary organization was effected with J. B.; Bass of the Cal. Eagle as President and C. C. Coleman of the Sunshine as Secretary. It was agreed to take a wider range and seek The California Eagie the co-operation of all legitimate journals on the Pacific slope, and that the organization shall be known as the Pacific Coast Negro Press Association. F. M. Roberts of the New Age; Prof. Chas. Alexander of the Citizens Advocate and J. B. Bass of the California Eagle were appointed a committee to draw up a constitution and by-laws; the meeting adjourned to meet on the call of the President. Capitol City Has Candidate for Commission. Rev. T. A. Harvey has taken out nomination papers and qualified to run for the position of City Commissioner. He therefore is the first race man to aspire in this section for an elective position; he informs us that he will make an aggressive campaign and has assurance of a hearty support from all classes of our citizenship. Messrs. Sherman Overton and H. D. Greer of Los Angeles starred at the First Baptist Church on last Sunday evening, when they furnished a musical number which was the recipient of much favorable comment; the First Baptist Church is one of the leading churches of the city and its pastor is the Rev. Frazier Langford, Chaplain of the Senate. Mr. Chas. S. Wilson, Sergt.-at-arms of the Senate and filling the position of chief mailing clerk of the Senate is one of the most efficient officials of that body; he gets out the huge mailing matter of that body without a hitch and to the entire satisfaction of that body. Mr. Jacob Soreas, Veteran State employee will in the near future furnish the Eagle readers with some very interesting reminiscences since he has been on the job for nigh unto 30 years. These will be of gripping interest to the people of this State and Mr. Soares is able indeed to portray the same. Mr. Soares is one of our foremost citizens and active in all measures which stand for the progress of the race. Mrs. J. W. Scott of this city has been duly and regularly appointed historian for Sacramento County to record the activities of the Colored citizens in helping to win the war, so therefore anybody who can help give information worthy of record, they should get in touch with Mr. Scott. Democracy Film Co. The darkest period of night is just before the dawn of day, yet, who knows what that day holds in store for us. Has the time not arrived, when our people aspire to tread the paths where other travel? The time has arrived, and we must awaken to our sense of duty to our race. Nothing that others have accomplished is beyond the capacity of men of our race, if we, as a people, unite and support them. We stand today as a race, greatly in need of wealth and democracy, either of which will conspicuously aid in our uplift. Well-known business men of our race have organized, the "Democracy Film Corporation," and its success means success for the race as a whole. It is not only the aim of the Company, to produce photoplays, with race artists, that will appeal to every man's sense of justice, but, to produce that class of photoplays that will result in dividends to the investor. The photoplay industry, is fifth among the world's great industries. The trend of world thought today, and for years to come, will be along the lines of Democracy, and the conception of producing Democracy photoplays, places us exclusively in the channel of present and future de- San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY APRIL 12, 1919 THE OLDEST LARGEST and LOS ANGELES, ba Rega mands. Apart from the employment to be given many members of our race, we are confident of being able to develop race artists as great, as this important indistry, has thus far produced. This is a race project, and it is to our race that we must appeal, to help us, until our days of infancy have passed. In conclusion, who must accurately portray the great deeds of valor, heroism and sacrifice, displayed by our race at home and on the fields of battle of Europe, if we ourselves do not? Millions of people of the colored races, throut the world, are patiently waiting and longing to see on the screen, the conspicious and noble part played by their dark-skinned brother in the world's war for Democracy. Our first picture, approved by the "People's Forum" of Southern California, to be produced, is entitled "Injustice," and this masterpiece will be one of the greatest pictures of the screen. Please pass this information to a friend. Shares $1.00 non-assessible. Anticipating the receipt of your best wishes, for the access of this race venture, we beg to remain.

Shaw. Text: Gen. 11:4. Come let us build a city and a tower whose top may reach unto heaven; let us make a name lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. These are the words of the spokesman of a crowd assembled on the plain of Shinar a few centuries after that fearful deluge in the days of Noah. The tradition of that awful destruction was fresh in the minds and on the tongues of all the people. Frienred fear seized upon them lest the earth should be visited by another such calamity. As they are assembled yonder on the plain, a spokesman whose name the Bible does not mention, filled with an ambition to do something whereby the people might escape the apparently impending danger, thus addresses the crowd: "Come let us make brick and burn them thoroughly; come let us build us a city and a tower whose top may reach unto heaven, let us make us a name lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth." And these words were repeated one to the other among the people until the whole multitude became intent upon doing something for their salvation. While I do not agree with all they did, yet there is something in their effort which commands our attention. They were ambitions. No individual, nation or race can accomplish anything worth while without ambition. By ambition I do not mean that inordinate something which we generally think of when that word is mentioned but I mean that commandable desire to become or to do something worth while. I am aware of the fact that a few people may be over-ambitious but that matters very little. The great difficulty is there are too many people in the world who are under-ambitious, who have no real longing desire to be or to do anything. The heights of worthy achievement are too steep to be climbed by people who have no aim, no longing desire to accomplish something. They can be attained only by the truly ambitious, those in whose soul the unquenchable fires of ambition burn. While I admire the ambition of these post-delivians in their desire to do something to save their lives and reach heaven, yet I must warn you of the futility of their method and the inadequacy of the material out of which they built. No tower ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` built out of brick cemented with slime is durable enough to reach unto heaven. We cannot climb into the skies that way. We must climb on a tower built out of a material that is able to stand the test of the insatiate tooth of time and the ever rolling ages of eternity. Let us pass on. I have said these things only to paint as it were a biblical background for what I wish most of all to say in a practical way to my own people. I am intensely interested in our progress and future; I therefore wish to make the words of my text my exhortation to you: Come, let us build us a city and a tower whose top may reach unto heaven, let us make us a name lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. How shall we build? First, we must build up strong, well-ordered families. The family is the unit of true civilization and culture. Upon the well ordered home depends the character of the individual, the progress and quality of the social order, and the greatness of the church and then action. Too much emphasis cannot be placed on our family life. Every influence which tends to weaken it should be carefully eliminated. We need husbands and fathers who are real heirs of our families, and not mere cabbage heads, men of thrift who are able to support their families and not subject their wives and daughters to the temptations of service in the families of others. We need real mothers, women who love their homes more than the flash and flare of society, women who prefer to train their children to leading bulldogs around. In the modern home the prophecy, "A little child shall lead them," is being fulfilled in a seriously erroneous manner. Children are the bosses these days and mother and father are controlled by them. This state of affairs should not be so. God has given to parents years and experiences and he demands that we use them in the proper training of our children. Another element in the building of a race is education. The times of our ignorance not only in spiritual things but in mental things as well, God has winked at long enough. He calls us to mental development. The opportunities for obtaining an education are so many now that there is no excuse for ignorance. We need to know all things it is possible for us to know. We need to know art, literature, history, science, economics and the arts and secrets of warfare. If we had a few bomb makers who would supply us with a few bombs to throw into a few lynching parties we would not need the help of the president to stop that heathen practice. By education I do not mean that proper rot which some silly folks call education. One of the greatest sins that our parents, some of them, committed was the old false idea that education meant ease and not work. The educated man or woman who cannot solve the problems of life better than the uneducated person is a failure in spite of his learning. The man or woman who is truly educated is better able to do life's work of any kind than he or she who is not. Away with that so-called education which keeps a fellow in run-down shoes and mirror-like trousers. Another essential element in the building of a race is business. Never before in all the world's history has the power of the almighty dollar been greater than today. We are living in an age in which nine-tenths of the people worship the dollar god. The race that has no financial rating cannot keep pace in the race of life. We colored people in Los Angeles rank hect to the whites in culture and general refinement of character, but in business we are just a little above the Mexicans. We boast that we can do anything the white people can and I believe we can, accept at- Dr. Nailor Writes From Oakland Dr. Nailor Writes From Oakland INDUSTRIAL HOME FOR THE ADULT BLIND Oakland, Cal., April 5, 1919. Editor J. B. Bass. Dear Friend: I take this opportunity of informing you that I arrived safe and sound and am feeling in the best of spirits. I write not only to render you this information, but also to ask the favor of the columns of The Eagle as a medium of correspondence to my many friends in Los Angeles, who I am sure are anxiously waiting to hear from me. In thrashing around in my mind, trying to decide how to render this information to all my good friends, and realizing that if I tried to personally write to all, not only would my poor ability prove inadequate for the task, but I would not find time to realize the object of my coming here; and being undesired of displaying partiality, I conceived the happy idea of letting the Eagle do it; and knowing that the Eagle was the common friend to all my friends, I fell certain that this solution of the dilemma will be graciously accepted by all of them. My wife and I left Los Angeles, at 11:30 p. m. via the Southern Pacific Railway, on the 31st ultimo, Bro. T. W. Troy being at the station to see us off; other friends having visited us to say "au revoir" and wish us God's speed, prior to our departure for the station. A "Red Cap" escorted us to the car in which reservation had been made for me and turned us over to the porter who was a Mr. Walker, a resident of Oakland, who was most kind and generous in his efforts to make my journey a pleasant one throughout. My wife having received an offer of agreeable employment, some months previous, in the event that my then incipient plans should reach the point of my entering the institution I had decided, and having this offer renewed, two days after my receipt of a notification from the superintendent that a vacancy was open for my acceptance, I considered it quite providential that agreeable provisions for both of us so close together could have been made; and although she was not willing to accept until after she had seen me safe and satisfied in my new environment, I insisted that she accept the same day of my departure and save the extra expense of railway fare, as I was certain that my steps were in the Divine order and that therefore there was naught to fear concerning my safety and the successful consummation of my venture. I thus persuaded her to agree upon my traveling alone; and so with lingering reluctance upon the train, arriving at Newhall weher her employer was to meet her; she surrendered me to the providence of God and the kindly care of the Pullman porter, Mr. Walker, who solemnly promised her to take good care of me. Mr. Walker was certainly true to his trust, for I cannot conceive of a more pleasant trip to be enjoyed by anyone under similar circumstances. The barrier against the monotony and erkoseness, that might be expected under such circumstances, was greatly strengthened by a visit from a very congenial and versatile Scotchman, whose company afforded me no little pleasure. Upon arrival at Oakland, I was turned over into the charge of a very friendly "Red Cap" who at my request, called a taxi cab, carefully assisted me in and gave information tend to our own business. We need not think that because we can sing and orate and pull off social dinner after the pattern of our millionaire employers that we have it all. We ought to judge ourselves according to the little business we are doing and we would lose some of our false pride. The Japanese of this city have a bank, a daily newspaper and many large business enterprises. The Chinese control a large part of the truck gardening business on the Pacific Coast, to say nothing of the thousands he is taking from our people who are silly enough to take a chance at the Chinaman's own game, while we are too content to occupy menial positions. If the nine hundred people here tonight would spend a dollar a week with some one of our colored business firms we would have a larger business than anything we have at the present time in the city. At that rate, what would 25,000 people do? This church represents between sixty and seventy-five thousand dollars invested in a Christian institution here on this corner and we haven't done too much, but the sad part about it all is, that we have not kept pace with the churches in the matter of business. I wish that on some corner nearby there were some business institution which represented four times as much capital and a business of over a million a year. To my mind one of the greatest needs of our city is some wide awake business men who will do something and not talk and grumble so much; some men who will sell goods and not color to the people. The colored business man who sits around and whines and expects patronage simply because he is colored has failed already. Let us as a people forget our little jealousy and envy and build up in our race some men of commandnig wealth who will establish business enterprises where our boys and girls who graduate from our schools can find suitable employment and have an opportunity for development in commercial matters. The greatest shame on our city is that the biggest business among us is done by citizens of the underworld. I wish we had a company of our honest Christian citizens who could operate a chain of grocery stores, or laundries as well as a certain company operates a chain of dives. We respectable people are not worthy of respect unless we are able to out-work the other fellow. (Continued on page 6) Miss Lilias G.

ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN NUMBER 9 Church Writes From Iland concerning my final destination; and in a short time, I was escorted into the office of the superintendent of the Home, safe and sound and not in the least perturbed. This is only my fourth day in the Home, but in this short duration or time, I have come to some definite conclusions that I don't think time will alter, namely. That anyone who has never visited this place, who has previously framed a picture of a spot canopyed with blackest gloom and filled with exaggerated pessimism, an institution where the officials have naught but contempt for the inmates and solely interested in drawing their salaries; permit me to say, that such a person, upon visiting the Industrial Home for the Adult Blind of the State of California would experience a revelation never to be forgotten; for it would be hard to find anywhere, a more congenial atmosphere, a happier and a more contented and optimistic group of people, than is to be found in this institution; that it would be difficult to find, at least among the second class colleges of the country, dormitories of more comfortable appointments and sanitation, or dining room in which food was more wholesome and in sufficient quantities is served, or cruiseine more pleasant; that it would be not easy to find in any institution of learning with a Faculty, more concientiously concerned about the welfare of, and the advancement of its charges, than is to be found in the officials of this institution. As I have not yet entered the workshop, I cannot render any details concerning this important feature of the institution; but as it is my intention, as convenience permits, to let my friends hear from me through the columns of the Eagle from time to time, I hope to enlighten them more concerning this institution. Considering it probable that there may be some of my friends who are not acquainted with the true occasion of my coming here, permit me to do so at this time: I have not come to the Industrial Home for the Adult Blind, in quest of a home in which I might retire and mope out the remaining days of my occupancy of this mundane sphere in the gloom of despair;—no, a thousand times no—I have come here in obedience to what I believe to be a call to service; I am here because this institution is the only convenient place where I may be equipped to render that service. Every man with a spark of manhood still alive in his breast, greatly cherishes the independence of self maintenance, but I am here not only that I might be prepared to resume the exercise of this most prized honor, but that I might be the instrument through which others less fortunate in opportunity, might be assisted toward the same end. The foremost nations of the world are giving no little attention to the problem of the training of the blind soldiers and no doubt all of these who are sufficiently ambitious, will be so trained, white or black though he be. But it's one thing to be trained to perform a task well and yet a greater problem to find an opportunity to turn such intelligence to profit. No doubt employment will be furnished for the blinded white soldiers, but what of the black boy who found his racial identity handicap enough, when in the possession of all the corporeal senses; what of the many ambitious negroes of the Southland who are similarly handicapped through misfortune over which they had no control; shall these men be left to chaff at the restraint of their impotency and die in despair?

Many visitors were in attendance at 11 a.m. The pastor's text contained these words: "O ye of little faith," Matt. 6:30. These words of our Lord, the reprimand and a condemnation to the Christian Church today. Infinitely great and mighty would be the power and influence of the church today, and certain would be its victory over sin and the kingdom of satan, but for the lack of faith upon the part of professed Christians. This delightful letter whose contents follow, was read at the close of the services, by sister A. C. Richardson, from First Lieut. George W. Jackson, and an offering of $4.00, including $1.00 pledge by the pastor, was taken, to go into a reception fund which has been created for our returned soldiers, and these yet to return. The committee is striving to raise $500.00 or more. To the Christian Church: I wish to express my highest appreciation for your splendid demonstration of friendship and brotherhood. To me this token is one of reverence and devotion for our boys who so nobly defended the cause of humanity on European soil. In behalf of those heroes, both living and dead, who have immortalized our race, and added a new page to our brilliant history, I thank you.

Our morning services were delivered by Rev. Roseman. Text: "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's, and unto God that which is God's," Matt. 22: 21. This was indeed a splendid sermon, because it was simple and yet very instructive to each and everyone present. It was very plainly pointed out by the speaker whom ye should serve this day. Rev. Shaw accompanied by Rev. Veal spoke to us in the afternoon at 3 p. m. This meeting was really a warm reception given to the members, friends and visitors present.

McCorkle, Pastor, Services at Y. M. C. A., Hemlock and 9th Sts. On last Sabbath our services were unusually impressive. There was an impression of sacredness that pervaded the entire morning services, the Lord's Supper was received by a representative number and all seemed to express a joy to renew the Covenant. The impressive talk of lawyer Carthright at the Evening services was also impressive and full of information as to some of the conditions that obtain in some of our Institutions. On Sunday April 13th the pastor will preach on the "First word from the Cross"—Father, Forgive them, for they know not what they do. And at night Rev.

Last Sunday was Reconsecration Day at this Church, and God poured out his Holy Spirit upon all who worshipped here. Pastor and members both were at a high spiritual pitch. Pastor had a sermonette at the morning service using the Sunday School lesson as a basis. At 6:20 the A. C. E. League rendered their first program of the New Year. This program bids fair towards the future of the Endeavor. Pastor preached at 8 p. m. from John 8:58, and seemed to be lost in the spirit of God.

Being Quarterly Meeting Day the people turned out in goodly numbers. At 3 o'clock Dr. J. H. Wilson, Presiding Elder had charge of the services and introduced to the large number that had gathered the speaker of the hour, Dr. J. C. Anderson who seemed to have been at his best and preached a sermon which stirred his congregation until it seemed their hearts had been set on hallowed fire. Dr. T. L. Scott of Chicago was introduced and extended the invitation and the congregation which had already lost control of itself was brought to its feet by this mighty thunderbolt. The Holy Communion was administered by the Presiding Elder—he was represented at the evening service by Dr. T. L.

The pastor preached at both services. Two soul-stirring sermons rewarded the people for coming to the house of the Lord. The communion of the Lord's supper was administered to a large number of communicants. The choir thrilled and charmed the worshippers with their songs of Zion. The coming Sunday will be a big day at this church. At the morning hour Rev. T. L. Scott of Chicago will fill the pulpit. A rare treat is in store for all who attend the morning services. The choir will render some special numbers at this service. The pastor will occupy the pulpit at the regular evening services.

STRUBLE MANUFACTURING COMPANY Hardwood Lumber 611-546 First Street Oakland, California C. H. BROWN, President Sunday was an exceedingly high day at the New Hope Baptist Church. The Sunday School was largely attended and the leson was inspiring and helpful. The morning service brought out a very fine congregation, all apparently eager to get into the service, which they did. It was covenant meeting day, every man had his say for his Lord and Master. The testimonies were fervent, all seemed to be actuated by the Holy Spirit. Pastor Reed preached a short sermon; his subject being, "How can we best be used for Christ." The sermon was well received. The evening meeting consisted of a sermon by the pastor; reading of the Church "Covenant" to the new members and fellowshipping them, and the administration of the Lord's Supper. One was added to the Church at this service. Next Sunday, Dr. W. R. Carter, Financial Secretary for the Old Folks Home at Abilla, Cal., will preach and present the claim of the Home to the people of San Bernardino. Patson Reed will preach at the evening service. He will begin a series of sermons on "Prayer." From now until conference time this church will be in a veritable beehive. Our slogan is: "I can do all things through Christ, who giveth me the victory." Our morning and evening services were both good. A special feature of the evening service was a travelogue by Corp. Walter A. Norwood who has just returned from France. The Corporal gave us some real first hand information and answered all questions asked. Not a star on our service flag has turned to gold and two of our boys have returned and given us talks—Sergt. Roland Smith and Corp. Walter Norwood; and we are expecting a visit from Sergt.

PUBLISHED . WEEKLY Saturday, April 5, 1919 VOLUME .33—NUMBER .8 Anything worth doing at all is worth doing well, therefore we are exceedingly glad to see the Baptist Old Folks Home taking on new life and actually getting on the map. The Federated Union of organizations starts out under the most favorable auspices and we trust ere long will begin to realize results. The Eagle dares at all times to stand up and advocate the things which mean race progress, and we are right in line with the axiom of "hewing to the line let the chips fall where they may." Over in France it looks like somebody is on the verge of messing up the Peace Party. One of our enthuastic supporters filled with exuberance at our editorial in last issue on Government Control of the Railroads says, "He em again," and continue the good work of getting them-told. One encouraging sign for the race in general is the fact that after practical demonstrations from the boys from "Over There" the people have commenced to think in earnest, and when you can get this people to really thinking, they will soon realize that their only salvation is to get together, and after getting together become real producers. The League of Nations would indeed have to work overtime in order to keep things quiet in Europe; every change of the moon governments change, and revolutions start; therefore from a quiet steady nation, we Americans must at the behest of European diplomats become meddlers in Europe's everyday back-door quarrels. The progress of the Peace Conference at this writing reminds us of the fact that even our greatest statesmen and diplomats cannot get together on the essential parts of a compact, therefore there is at least some solace for us when we think that our people are slow in getting together. It's too bad that the law-makers would lose so much of their valuable time in exploiting "bunk" legislation, such as prohibiting the sale of Cocoa Cola and other harmelss' temperance drinks. To us it looks like child's play and a reckless disregard of the largeness of their very own body. As the grand jury probe continues the plot thickens, and as we are not on the scene of action we shall refrain at this time from further comment until such time as we can see and get first hand information on passing events. MOVING PICTURE BILL FAILS TO PASS. Senate Bill 179 introduced by request by Senator Anderson of Oakland was refused passage on last Monday by a vote of 22 to 17. The Bill was promoted by the Negro Business League of Oakland and in its original form to our mind was a highly meritorious measure to which we gave our hearty support. I would forever prohibit, such plays as the Clansman and any other play which would have reflected on our race or would have tended to create prejudice, but the agents of the Business League had suffered the bill to be so ammended that the League itself would not be able to recognize its own measure; and indeed in the form of which it came up for final passage; it was really and truly a detriment, because it only prohibited the showing of pictures of lynchings, burnings and mobs. Now, as a matter of fact, pitiless publicity of the hienousness and barbarism of a part of the citizenship of this country who lynch, burn and mob has long since been our most dependable weapon to create such sentiment as will ultimately make these crimes cease, therefore instead of fortifying ourselves along these lines the bill proposed would have robbed us of our most potent weapon. With this thought in view, in our last issue we frankly stated editorially that it would be better to have no legislation at all, than the bill in the form last presented on the floor of the Senate. Now, that is exatly what we run a paper for; to flash danger signals when we see them, we did that thing and even though the active proponents of the measure might be disappointed, we cannot help that, we stand for the masses and their interests all the time and at all hazards. Democracy Film Corporation Selecting Artists. In accordance with the announcements given out at the various churches and newspapers the selection of the artists who are to take part in the great modern, democratic and purely racial film "Injustice" began in earnest Monday at the Y. M. C. A. Building. Captain Leslie T. Peacock, author of the thrilling and grandest of piays, "Neptune's Daughter," "Injustice" and many other notable photoplayls that have made fame and millions for artists and investors alike, is the photoplay director of this company. The company is controlled exclusively by race men, well-known in the social and business life of the city. This movement, like all others of an industrial, moral and commercial nature should be of vital importance to our people: its success is ours—likewise its failure. It is hoped that every negro in Los Angeles will make himself the prudid possessor of at least one share; now selling at One Dollar ($1.00) per share. This low price will without a doubt be doubled upon the completion of the picture. The company has opened a branch office at 12th and Central Ave. Any information can be had by inquiring at this office. Sure we will be there! Where? Normandy Hall to the Jazz Dance.

TRINITY BAPTIST CHURCH— Normandie and Jefferson "Waiting is Disobedience," was the subject of the sermon preached by the pastor last Sunday, morning and at the evening service, "We are the Sons of God." At the 3 o'clock service Rev. W. H. Rozler preached a great sermon. All who were present were pleased with this wonderful message, and it was brought to us by Brother Boxier. All the services were well attended. The Trinity Choir did its part at each service. We were very glad to see so many from the Pleasant Hill Baptist Church out. Next Sunday the pastor will preach at both services—Morning subject, "Christian Love;" Evening, "The Soul Harvest." THE PEOPLES' INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST— Cor 18th and Paloma Sts. Rev. N. P. Gregga, D. D., Pastor A wonderful gospel feast was enjoyed by those who worshipped at this Church last Sunday. Pastor Greggs occupied his pulpit at both services. At the morning hour he discussed in an uncompromising way, the prices and relative values of various religions. In the evening he delivered a burning message from the text, Luke 18:37. Three accessions to membership were recorded; two souls confessed Christ. The Choir sang rapturously. At the morning service in response to a special request Prof. Johnson very impressively rendered "The judgment Day."

This ark is Jesus Christ our Savior. The Lord's table was honored by all communicants present during our regular services, more than 60 communed. The Astronomical Lecture by Dr. R. E. Burk (White) a free and liberal contribution for the benefit of our Church was well attended with great enthusiasm; his subject, "More worlds that millions of times larger than this one on which we live, brought to view; what are they? Many mysterious explanations were given by the renowned Lecturer, God bless our Brother who has made a faithful study of Astronomical Science. Our prayer: "God bless all Humanity." You are cordially invited to the worship of this church. WESLEY M. E. CHURCH— 8th and San Julian Ss. Sunday was a great day at Wesley. The Pastor's morning sermon on the joy of the finished victory was pronounced by many to have been among the best he has delivered. The evening service with Roland W. Hayes as the attraction brought out more than 900 people. The pastor took this splendid opportunity to preach his great sermon-Lecture on the "Building of a Race." Both singer and preacher received the hearty congratulations of that vast audience which crowded Wesley beyond her lawful capacity. Regular offering for the day $124.16; $75.16 of which was taken up as a Silver Offering at the evening service. One person united with the Church. 312 communed during the day.

Watson Promptly at ten a.m. Sunday April 13th the drawings for the Western Federation of Tennis Club's Ladies' and Men's Doubles Tourney will be made at the Alpha Courta, and the players will start punishing the little balls immediately thereafter. This is not a championship affair, so everybody can enter as the matches are to be more in the nature of practice games, purposefully to train players to play a better brand of tennis. Many moment are expected to enter this tournament as there will be no scores published and players are requested to try to develop a stiff snappy service, a swift drive and by all means learn to place your ball as far out of your opponent's reach as possible. Every club that is a member of the Western Federation of Tennis Clubs should be represented by ten or fifteen players—Gee! but it would require Provost Marshall General Enoch Crowder's whole military draft machinery or an extra session of the U. S. Congress to force that many of our pretty or handsome tennis players to lay aside their "Sunday posing costumes," don tennis togs and knock perfectly harmless balls around on a beautiful Sunday morn. The contest manager will request a new 600 ball as entry fee. The tournament will be continued each Sunday until the finals are played. If you are in the vicinity of 14th and Paloma Sts., Sunday you may see some of the following players in a desperate tennis argument: Mesdames Henry Young, Wm. Allen, Roscoe Broyles; Misses Fern, Caldwell, Gilberta Turner, Lottie Bolds, Hazel Brown, Alice Jones, Charlottc Hubert, Sarah Harris; Messrs. Eddie Harris, Ballinger Kemp, Wm. M. Dunn, Geo.

Wednesday evening from the Wilkins' Music Studio at 1325 Central Avenue such a volume of light poured out on the night as to convert the dark of the night into the brightness of day. A little nearer, to learn the cause of this illumination and strains of music fell softly and soothingly on the ear. Graceful forms all satiny and silvery strolled to and fro leaning on the arms of the stronger, who were immaculate in evening dress. Then groups of brilliancy clustered around the Kahki stood here and there. A festive evening was very apparent from without. Within, friends of the Professor and his wife had gathered at the music school and other soldiers friends. Light-hearted gayety, the Joy of being welcomed and welcoming were marked spirits of the occasion. Indeed it was a joyous festivity. A feast of music, friendship and dainty refreshments. The enjoyable music feast was furnished by members from the following musicians: Mr. John A. Gray, returned soldier and musician render a piano selection; Miss Edna Hurd of Santa Monica, a vocal solo; Miss Fannie Wilson, a piano selection; Miss Jessie Milton gave a vocal solo; a duet, an overture, rendered by the Misses Lucille Banton and Fannie Wilson. Such a galaxy of musicians gathered together filled the evening so completely with music that the feet of the young people just had to move; so after the talks of their experiences in the war by Lieut. Dr. Stovail; Sergt. Carlyle; Corporal John A. Gray; Corporal Poulin and P. W. Ridgeway; Red Cross worker, the gave vent to the charm of the music in a trip to the light fantastic. Y. W. C. A. GIRLS HOLD THE DAY AT THE FORUM Last Sunday afternoon was indeed a banner day at the Citizens Forum. The Y. W. C. A. Club girls were scheduled to appear and Indeed they did so with banners unfurled. The meeting was one of enthusiasm from the very beginning when the great audience arose and as a send-off sang that victorious song of "Onward Christian Soldiers." The Chairman of programs presented Miss Idell Albritton, President of the Club, who after a brief outline of the history of the Girls Club portrayed the excellent spirit of the girls in the rendition of the poem, 'It can be done.' The program which proved to be one of the most wonderful ever heard at any time anywhere, was then rendered. Miss Lucy Williams a junior member of the Club won great applause with her selections rendered in the sweet and masterful jones that are her's. Miss Ruby Harris gave a beautiful piano selection. Miss Ethel Caution, Secretary in charge of the work, nideed furnished an eye-operer in the handling of her subject on "girls." Girls were viewed with a different eye after the meeting by all those listening to that most wonderful discourse. Mrs. Hattie E. Norwood never sang as she sang Sunday afternoon, her tones were clear, sweet and masterful and the audience was rapturous in appreciation. Then the Harris-Bilbrew quartette for those that heard a sigh is sufficient, for those that did not hear that loss can never be regained. Suffice it to say that never before in all history there is issued forth from four souls such a volume of music as these four ladies produced. The audience was wild in appreciation and called them again and again for more, stopping not from satisfaction but from sympathy. The vocal selections which showed her in possession of one of the sweetest voices of the age, rendered by Miss Edna Hurd brought the wonderful program to a close. Out of appreciation the men of the Forum arose and laid Twenty-one Dollars and Fifty Cents on the table. Jazz Dance. Jazz Music. and Jazzy people at Normandy Hall, April 22nd. Church of Christ (Holiness) Fr ag mation of most laws has for its object the lifting of man from a low moral standing to a higher one. Especially those laws which are consistent with moral and religious ideals. There is always, however, a penalty clause attached to laws which is imposed when the law is violated. If this penalty is severe under our present national government, how much severer will it be when mandates of the Lord's Creation are disregarded. At this juncture let us discuss the principal items of our lesson: Law and Gospel; Weakness of Law; The Advent of Jesus; Sin Condemned. Law and Gospel, the first clause of text, reads—For what the law could not do. All law, based upon the fundamental principles of justice and equity, is essential to the welfare and happiness of the human race. Without it what a world this would be? We would soon be plunged into the gulf of despair; yea, sunk deep into the mire of sin and shame; and downward would we drift until the word morality would be forgotten forever. God grant that that day will never come when men will cease to look downward with full assurance that they are able to lift up the fallen man; mire and muck of sin, and never feet upon a solid foundation without a word. Now under the mosaic law, men saw their desperate condition and struggled long and mightily to get from under it, but found no way. The scripture says very plainly that the law is good, just and holy in itself. Notwithstanding this fact it was impotent to fully emancipate the Jews in ancient times. In these modern days the law is still powerlees to deliver from sin; it only tells us what sin is. The weakness of law. The second clause of our text tells about the weakness of the law thru the flesh. Let us by the guidance of the spirit of grace educate the great truth of this clause. We read in the 19th Psalms. The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul That the Lord's law was perfect when He wrote it upon tables of stone and gave it to that meek man in Arabia is an infallible truth. The law has (Continued.) The Eagle is sending many copies each week to the various Base Hospitals.

E. is now looked forward to as a real big day. The church was well filled again at night, to hear a splendid sermon by Sister Watson, an Evangelist from Colorado. Sister Watson who has had many years experience in the ministry, held the audience spell-bound for one hour; on the big subject, prayer. All that was left for the pastor to do all day was to administer the Sacrament and be real happy all day, which he was indeed.

OF OWNERSHIP Management, Circulation, Etc., of The California Eagle, Required by the Act of Congress, August 24, 1912. Of the California Eagle, Published weekly at Los Angeles, California: County of Los Angeles—ss Before me a Notary Public in and for the State and County aforesaid, personally appeared J. B. Bass, who having been duly sworn according to law, deposes and says that he is the editor of the California Eagle, and that the following is to the best of his knowledge and belief a true statement of the ownership, management, etc., of the aforesaid publication, for the date shown in the above caption, required by act of Congress, Aug. 24, 1912, embodied in section 443, Postal Laws printed on the reverse of this form to wit: 1. That the names and addresses of the publisher, editor, managing editor, and business manager are: Publisher, C. A. Spear-Bass, Los Angeles, California; Editor, J. B. Bass, Los Angeles, California; Managing Editor, C. A. Spear-Bass, Los Angeles, California. 2. That the owner is C. A. Spear-Bass, Los Angeles, California. It is not a corporation. 3. That there are no bondholders nor any kind of security holders nor mortgages. (Continued from page 1) The race that expects to abide must be religious. It must be truly Christian. By Christianity I do not mean mere emotionalism in the churches. We colored people can shout louder over less done than any other people under heaven. By Christianity I do not mean a little fussing and fuming over non-essential doctrines and polity, but I mean a real transformed life after the pattern of Jesus Christ. Too much of our Christian teachings have been full of error. We have taught that earth was only a way station on the road to heaven. As much as we sing and shout about heaven, none of us want to go there right now. All of you who want to go to heaven tonight, hold up your hands. We had just as well confess that the sentiment of the following well-known prayer is ours: "Now Lord, when I have fought the last battle; when I have drunk the last bitter cup; when I have wound up the last ball of sorrow; when I have done all I can do and can't do no more, then take me home to heaven and I will give thee the praise forever, Amen. That prayer is right: Our Christian duties are here. Jesus Christ came not into the world to establish emigration bureau from earth to heaven but to make this world better, to wash it and make it clean and present it without blemish before the throne of God. I repeat my exhortation: Let us with strong, well-ordered families, the best possible education, business efficiency and a transformed Christian life, build up a city and tower whose top may reach into heaven; let us make us a name lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

Misrepresentation of Darker Races. There is nothing so repugnant or obnoxious, especially during these modern times, than to read in print, (the white man's print,) hear at the theatre, or depicted upon the screen, the darker races, particularly the negro, placed upon a low basis, making them appear as most illiterate and so far below the Anglo-Saxon, that to a narrow minded white person, the impression is conveyed that all dusky races make no strides whatever toward civilization and education. Oftimes we read where so and so, a neagro, has used the "dis" and "dat" and 'de' of hundreds of years southern origin, wherein we are perfectly familiar with the person reported to have thus spoken and know for a certainty that they are a student of the English language and furthermore a native of the line of Dixle, and oftimes a far westerner, who knows nothing of the drawl, about which he is reputed to have indulged in. notes and promises and "please bear a little longer." And what would be more terrible than a war of the races? Race hatred! Can you imagine anything more appalling? The white man is determined not to recognize darker races on the equality that they desire and it seems the darker nations are standing pat and—oh, I hate to try to picture the outcome. But, I have drifted from what I started to write about. All I can say in conclusion is to ask that when we are quoted, please quote us as we are heard, not as they would like to have heard us. MARGUERITE BENSTON-EVANS DR. NAILOR WRITES FROM OAKLAND. (Contniued from page 1) man's burden and until the Negro learns as a race the value of self-maintenance, to solve his own economic and social problems he will not only be the unwelcome "White man's burden," but also a burden to himself and remain, the most despised and rejected of all peoples. For nearly three years I waited for the restoration of my sight, thinking that there was nothing of a tingible nature possible for me to effectively do, without the possession of so valuable an asset as sight; but during this interval of time of physical inactivity, I have had ample opportunity for deep meditation and profitable reflection, the fruition of which has been that: That one most quickly and the certainly attracts to himself, the Divine approbation, through hearing and obeying the call to service; That whatever his limitations may seem to be, it is yet his privilege to break through the boundries of his own limitations, through making effort to assist another, who is seemingly laboring under greater difficulties. It is in recognition of this institution that is responsible for my being now in The Industrial Home for the Adult Blind; but I would not have my friends believe for a moment, that this step means that I have abandoned my hope of again beholding the beauties of God's handiwork; —no, for with sight I may render this peculiar service all the better, because of having had the experience of blindness myself;—no I am determined to be a Wrestling-Jacob and hold on to the Angel of God, until the day breaks—For does not the Sacred Book contain authoritative assurance that He will withhold no good thing from the believer?—Surgly sight is good, although I make no pretentions of being a Job, yet I too, am firm in my determination: "To wait all the days of my appointed time until my change comes." As my plans are yet in the stage of incipiency. I cannot discuss the details at this time; but when shall have finished my training here, (which may require a year or maybe more,) I expect to return to you and make an effort to put them into execution. I only hope at this time, drop a few seeds of thought that may find permanent lodgement in the fallow field of Race-loving hearts; the realization of the success of this endeavor, will be sufficient reward for present labor. With kindest regards and Christian love for all, I remain. Very sincerely yours for race uplift ALEXANDER J. NAILOR. CHURCH OF CHRIST (Holiness) "For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own son in the likeness of sinful flesh; and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh" - Rom. 8:3. To properly define law: it is a binding rule of action. Law restrains and forbids the performance of certain acts contrary to established principles of conduct. There are many kinds of law such as Civil and Criminal; Judicial and Constitutional; Ecclesiastical and Ceremonial. The laws that govern this great Republic are enacted, as we well know, by representatives elected by the people, chosen for that particular purpose. Many of the laws made by these electives are satisfactory; some are not, but all things considered the laws of our country meet the approbation of very many; the exception being they are not enforced—as should be done in all quarters. But there is another and more important law from which ours has sprung—the law of God. To my mind divine law has always existed, but was not revealed to man until he was formed from dust and placed in Eden; where Jehovah forbad Adam's touching or eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Again, it was Sinai in Arabia where Moses ascended the Mount and beheld the glory of God, spoke with Him, and received the decodeology or ten commandments, which embodied the statutes by which Israel was to be governed.

M. REYNOLDS Our Pasadena Correspondent. ___ A public reception and banquet will be given the returned colored scldier boys of Pasfdena some time in the near future, time and place will be known Sunday, and will be announe- eq from all the church. > ‘The affair will be under the aus- pices of the Negro Welfare Committee of which the Rev. W. H. Tillman is Presiden: and Rey. Wm. Prince is Vice-President and Mr. Ralph Troy Is Secretary. The Committee com- prives persons from every church and community in the city, and the re- ception will be indeed given by the negro citizens of Pasadena and évery one is expected to do their bit. At a meeting of the Committee held Monitay evening, March 31st., at the First A. M. E. Church sub committees were appointed to look after every7 thing necessary for the successful culmination of the enterprise, and it is woped that whenever the public is appreached by iny of these e-ninmit- tees they will readily respond ac- ‘cord'as to thelr ability to the coni- mitte2's request; especially we all must respond to-the request of the Committee on Ways and Means, par- ticularly to the means, as the means will always make a way. Let us make this a grand and glorious affair, and show our appreciation for the valisnt service-rendered by our heroes on the battle fields of France risking life and health, and sume of them losing both, and gloriously sustaining the well-known fighting ability of the ne- gro'soldier that has come down from the immortalized Crispus Attucks on down through all the wars of this great Republic,.and adding this last page of immortal history, the most slurivus of all where in the first time in any war the negro had control of artillery, machine guns, etc.. with the largest number of commissioned offi- cers in the history of our race, with more than a Division of combat troops on the fighting line, and thous- ands of pioneer and steevedore reg- iments doing valiant service in their line. Let us memorialize the valiant deeds of the 92d Piviston on the shell swept battle fields. and horrible trenches of the Vosghes, Argonne, Champuigne and the great offensive ‘ot Marbache. We should never for- get the old 8th Mlinols and the old 15th New York which so valiantly and conspiciously assisted in stopping the great Hun drive at Chateau-Ter- ry and the Marne and drove them hack to defeat, which was the be- ginning of the end. “The program. will be free to all, where the boys will tell of their ex- periences and patriotic selections will be rendered in solos, duéts and quar- tetts. The banquet however, will be free only to the soldier boys and their mothers and fathers.

' The big chorus ‘composed of singers from ail the ne- gro churches and some others not at- tached to any choir, directed by Capt. ‘Wm. Reynolds, with Madame Corine Hicks as ieader, palyed their part well. : ‘When they started from their po- aition fn the far Southwest ‘corner of the ‘grounds singing, “Walk together children, don’t you get weary,” Mad- ame Hicks was in splendid voice and was well backéd up by the big chor- ns, and although #inging withou! musle ap gid our grand mothers snd fathers in the days which we were representing, the words of the song carried in full and harmonious /vol wume to the farthest parts of the great space so that they were heard by all the vast throng of about Tex Thousand people who witnessed the Pageant, and were ‘greeted with tre: mendioug applause.

The chorus again came back at the grand assembly when all participants gathered for the grand final and with band accompaniment the great chorus sang the Hallelujah Chorus.” Mr. Gilmore Brown the director of the Episodes could not thank the ne- gro chorus enough for their splen- did co-operation.

Of this we are so glad; But do you know it might have bee: Worse and twice as bad. Our hero might have been laid low By cannon ball and shell; But, instead. there comes the news— “Mother, all is well!” Our hero has not had the joy That some of us have known, Because he left this country To fight to save our homes. So now today there comes the news By mail and telegtam, “Mother, I am in the land Once more of Uncle Sam!" & And so today our hearts rejoice To know that all is well, And. that our hero comes once more Within his home to dwell. Our hero is a “black boy,” His name it is LeRoy, He {s our baby and we think He certainly is “some boy.” He's been across the waters To fight for Uncle Sam, And so this Nation knows him As one of General Pershing's lambs. We'll always love him dearly, We'll cherish in our hearts The battles fought, the victories won And the light from out the dark. i gece: ca eae ae a ter i. Pe cia 4 H : | DR::H. ‘D:.
