A REALTY COMPANY FORGING TO THE FRONT MR. AND MRS. LEWIS ELMORE, 1553 E. 23RD ST. ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 4485 VOLUME 33 A REAL FOR UNITY OF RACE ACTION A EPOCHAL CRISIS IN RACE RACE HISTORY. To our Colored American Editors: All thoughtful Colored Americans felt it fortunate that the closing world war was declared to be for world democracy, "for the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own government." We all felt this war slogan was our only hope of deriving any relief from participation. Very unfortunately there arose a division over demanding the fulfillment as an integral part of the war's settlement, a large portion of the race favoring the movement to send petitioners to petition for an agreement to grant democracy to citizens of Color at the Peace Conclave, others opposing the attempt as a "domestic" question, and favoring a demand as to the German African Colonies. The events of three months have made it possible for a uniting of all elements, since the League of Nations draft gives Africa no freedom, and it has leaked out that President Wilson himself, fathered a clause against religious discrimination in a provisional draft, thus affording a precedent for a clause against racial discrimination. There is now a strong feeling that when history is written it shall not be recorded that the advanced Colored millions of America elsewhere defaulted their own cause for democracy by division when peace was made after a world war in which they fought and died. Let us unite for positive action. MR. AND MRS. LEWIS E To this great end the Managing Committee of the Colored World Democracy Congress (which represented the race very generally) under the Equal Rights League has accept-a compromise suggestion of a peace clause on which it is hoped all editors and leaders will unite, as it is so worded as to recognize our right to World Democracy at the Paris Conclave, yet not empower the League of Nations to interfere within any nation thus removing the "odymetic question" argument. Here is the clause—"Real democracy for the world being the avowed war aim of nations establishing the League of Nations, the high contracting parties agree to vouchsafe to their citizens respectively full liberty, right of democracy and protection of life without restriction or distinction based on race, color, or previous contiolin." The Committee earnestly appeals to our editors to publish this proposed amendment to the League of Nations Covenant, which reached the Peace Conference Commission, March 2nd; to comment on it and urge the holding of mass meetings demanding its adoption at Paris, as the least we can ask for if we are not to oppose ratification. Let us say so now. Yours that our race may not go down in history as dividing at such an epoch. BYRON GUNNER, Hilburn, N. Y., Chmn. Executive Committee. P. S.—A copy of your paper with this in it would be appreciated. Labor ```markdown ``` The California Eagie Union, Jewish-Americans, Irish-Americans, the Japs on their own cause are so active, how about publishing this clause under the heading—"WORLD DEMOCRACY PETITION." We, the undersign, hereby petition the World Peace Conference at Paris, to incorporate the above clause in the League of Nations Covenant to fulfill the promises of the war for democracy for men everywhere.

EXECUTIVE BOARD OF THE BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION MEETS NEXT WEEK IN SANTA BARBARA Also The Executive Boards Of All Its Auxillaries. As a fore runner to the approaching Baptist State Convention to be held in June at Allensworth, Cal., President H. B. Thomas has called the Executive Board to meet Wednesday and Thursday April 23, and 24, 1919 in the city of Santa Barbara, Cal. First Vice-President N. F. McMickens of the Woman's Department of the State Convention, President J. Allen Reese of the State Sunday School Convention and President S. P. Johnson of the State B. Y. U. Convention are likewise calling their boards to meet at the same time and place. LMORE, 1553 E. 23RD ST. Allensworth is expecting great things of the coming State Convention and the head of the Convention and its Auxiliaries are getting in line that they may even exceed the expectations of the anxious Allensworth population. Despite the setback of the influenza epidemic, indications point to the fact that all parts of the state will send their full quota to the Convention. It is the expectation of the Boards to arrange a program, the equal of which has not been witnessed on the Western Coast. The Baptist Orphanage, that feature of the Convention work that the late President, Sister A. E. Webber of the Woman's Convention worked so faithfully to establish will have a hearing at the meeting of the Boards, as well as the new features contemplated by the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Conventions. The Boards go to Santa Barbara as the guests of President H. B. Thomas and aside from the epoch making sessions of the Executive Boards, he has planned many interesting features for their entertainment, and he expects every member of each of the boards to be present so as to accept of his hospitality. Editor J. B. Bass returned on last Wednesday from Sacramento where he has been attending the 43rd. session of the Legislature.

Sergt. C. O.

"Men of the old English are not for Thompson," he declared.

PRINCE KABA REGA SPEAKS. Last Tuesday evening a feature affair was held at the Phillip Chapel C. M. E. Church when Prince U. Kaba Rega spoke to a crowded house. Mr. L.

Bass of the Eagle has been appointed treasurer for the fund, which was started with five dollars by Dr. Gordon, the father of the movement. All persons wishing to contribute to this noble cause should see Mrs. Bass at once, at 822 Central Ave. ANNOUNCEMENT EXTRAORDINARY.

(Western Information Bureau.) Incorporated under the laws of California known as the strictest corporation laws in force in the United States, the Democracy Film Company begins its business on a sound business foundation. ```markdown ``` THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT. ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN FRONT The State Corporation Commissioner, before issuing the necessary corporation permit, first examines the character, ability and integrity of the promoters; the nature of the business and possibilities of success. If, in his opinion, the business is capable of successful exploitation and the promoters are competent to carry on such exploitation, to the benefit of the investors, a permit si issued granting the privilege of entering upon the business desired. The Commissioner, however, in behalf of investors, keeps a watchful eye o nevery phase of a Corporation's affairs and is likely at any time to demand changes or modification of policies, plans and methods used. Eighty-five per cent of every investor's dollar must be retained in the bank until the amount necessary to execute the specific projects has been subscribed; in case the subscriptions fall below the amount necessary, within the period allowed by the Commission, said eighty-five per cent is returned to the investors and the subscription cancelled. Thus it is plain that no investor can lose his money invested in a State Chartered Corporation. Fifteen per cent of the investor's 100 per cent goes to the promotion and expenses of the business which is but fair. A feature of the Democracy Film Co. is the absence of "watered stock," preferred stock" and "common stock." All of its shares are "Equal Profit Sharing Stock." Democracy Film Co.

Mrs. N. B. Murray of 1300 W, 35th Street has established a neat little Dressmaking Apartment at her home where she promises to turn out some splendid models, especially in children's fancy dresses. Mrs. Murray is starting in her home from which she expects to broaden into a beautiful establishment complete in every way. Several of Mrs. Murray's latest cuts will be on exhibition Sunday—one will be worn by one members of the Eagle staff, and several by members of the West side elit. We should always be anxious to encourage members of the race who evince even a sign of talent in any line. Mrs. Murray is as artistic in taste and design as the average French Modeste. She is especially interested, however, in children's fancy garments, but will be delighted to have your patronage in all lines. Don't forget that on Easter Sunday, April 20th, at the Far West State Launch, 1107 Central Ave., Tuxedo Dinner will be served all day, the last for the season.

Palm Sunday was observed with wonderful services at Peoples Independent Church. Pastor Greggs preached more great sermons. The subjects were: "The Triumphant Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem," and "A Course in Christ's University." Six united with the church; three made their spiritual step no the Christian journey.

THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH 844th st. and Central Ave. "Blessed be the King that Cometh in the name of the Lord," Luke 19: 38, was the text used by the pastor on last Sunday morning as he spoke to the appreciative audience assembled on: "Christ as King." He drew the contrast between this King and all other Kings, pointing out: 1. That this was a king filled with meekness and humility. This is shown not only in the humble way in which He made His triumphal entry, but in the circumstances surrounding His birth. His parentage; the place of His birth and throughout His earthly life. 2. He was an accessible King. There was no one, however insignificant or low in social life, but what could come boldly into His presence and get an audience. 3. He was a Serving King. He himself said: I came not to be ministered unto, but to mbiister. 4. He was a forgiving King. 5. He was a Saving Knig. was: "Faithful unto Death." This Sunday, which is Easter the pastor will conclude the present series, speaking on the "Risen Christ." In the evening at 8 o'clock, Easter program by the Sunday School.

CHURCH— Sunday was a high day at this popular church. Sunday morning the people were turned away as there was no room for them. Rev. T. L. Scott of Chicago brought the message at this hour and the people were fed with the manna from on high. There were three accessions to the membership at this service. The pastor brought the message at the evening service and the hearts of the people were made to rejoice again. The choir of this church were at their best all day and thrilled and charmed the worshippers with their songs of Zion. Easter Sunday will be a great day at this church. The day will begin with a sunrise prayer meeting. The Sunday School will meet at nine-thirty. Preaching by the pastor; the regular service at eleven o'clock. The children of the Sunday School of this church will render their program and sing a cnatata "Death and Life." This promises to be one of the treats of the season in a musical way. Come early if you wish to secure a scat. The evening services will begin promptly at eight o'colck. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH— 740 Maple Avenue Sister Evans of our Home Department again did successful work as was evidenced in the number of New Scholars present last Sunday morning in the Sunday School. Superintendent S. P. Johnson was agreeably surprised by the large number of visitors present, and expressed regret that time did not permit each of them to address the School. The Lesson was full of instruction and encouragement—"The Introduction of Jesus by John." The chief points brought out were—John's willingness to decrease as his Master increased; His direction of others to the Christ; and his freedom from jealousy when his disciples left him to follow the Saviour. A visiting brother spoke for us at the 11 o'clock service, and all enjoyed his message. At 3 p.m. the pastor preached at Pasadena for The Court of the Eastern Star, and had a very pleasant time. The Young People had quite a treat in having Lieut. Jackson to address them, and Lieut. Jackson enjoyed being with them.

Bring a blessing with you in fervent prayer and a sincere desire for the favor of God to be bestowed upon all. BIRCH ST. CHRISTIAN CHURCH F. C. Cothran, Pastor Wq are swinging back toward normal at Birch St. Our services were quite gratifying. Last Lord's Day many visitors present. At 11 a. m. the pastor called our attention to scenes of Calvary. He took for his text these words: "My Soul is Exceeding Sorrowful, even unto Death, tarry ye Here and Watch with Me." Our hearts burned within us while the pastor in a most vivid and pathetic manner pictured to us the death and suffering of Christ. At the close of the sermon two noble souls came forward and took membership with the church. These two persons came well repudiated; Brother Harris, the husband having served for several years as deacon, and his wife, Sister Harris as a choir member. They resided for years in Calexico, Cal., and were members of Bethel Church there. They have come to Los Angeles to reside permanently. All are cordially invited to hear Rev. McCorkle of Zion A. M.

C.A. SPEAR.....Managing Editor J. B. BASS.....Editor AT THE COMING CITY PRIMARY AND ELECTION Our citizenry have at the coming primary and election a task to perform in the nomination and election of a Mayor, City Attorney and members of the City Council; owing to the conditions which exist as a result of the recent Grand Jury probe things political have been in a chaotic state and really many are those who have not made a decision or will they do so until the trial of the mayor has been concluded. We are not among those who have said crucify him, we are satisfied to have a jury to pass on his guilt or innocence, in the meantime we have many other highly interesting and worthy citizens who aspire to guide the destinies of the city for the coming two years. And they are presenting their cliams to the people. Foremost among them is Mr. Gresner Williams, prominent and distinguished attorney, whose friends are leaving no stone unturned to secure his nomination and election, and especially do they refer to his record for a square deal for all. Then we have the claim of Mr. Weaver of more than local fame as a force in the business world, and then we have the candidacy of Mr. M. P. Snyder who has rendered distinguished service in that position on several occasions before; he is being supported by a large and influential following. The California Eagle has not at this time elected to support any of the five aspirants in the primary, in fact we have so far been content to furnish a peoples' Forum open to all to present their claims to the people. For City Attorney and members of the Council we shall in our succeeding issues give some interesting reading as to the proper men to select for these positions. Watch the Soaring Eagle. The Big Three, Boyden, Coleman and McKinney, presented the business trend to the Forum on last Sunday in a highly creditable manner and created quite a favorable impression. PUT YOUR BEST TIMBER TO THE FRONT Put your best men to the front; this should apply to church and state, put your men and women to the front who are worth while, and whom you do not have to make any apologies for; if there is any weakness in our efforts to rise it is in the fact that we are given to recognize leadership on the ground of friendship, and not worth and character; hence oftimes we are imposed upon and our progress retarded. It is a well-known fact that in some of our churches if the pastor insists on a strict accountability of the church's money that he is going to have trouble and he won't be long about it; and in some of our churches he must not become aggressive along certain moral lines, if he does he will find himself in trouble. So therefore for a cure to all the above evils the people must see to it that none but the very best are placed at the front. JAMES P. BRITT FOR THE COUNCIL. Asked as to what his platform in coming before the people as a candidate for the City Council, JAMES P, BRITT looked his questinoer straight in the eye and promptly answered: "I stand on the shortest seeking—a square deal for everybody—and that's all, nothing more. If I am placed on the ticket and elected I shall make earnest endeavor to serve all the people alike, to do by them all would be done by." And a conversation with Mr. --- that he is just that sort of man, and just as soon as the people make up their minds to support men of this calibre, they will be doing the things worth while and the people themselves will come into their own. Assemblyman F. M. Roberts scored during the last week all along the line and on the last day for the consideration of Assembly Bills, succeeded in having passed the Amended Civil Rights Bill, which in conjunction with his other bills completes indeed a wonderful record for the Assemblyman and he is entitled to great credit for his strenuous efforts. If there is any psychology in pictures Mayor Woodman is sure of vindication from the charges against him, because to find a jury which would convict and send a man to the penitentiary on men represented by the pictures which appeared in the Times on last Wednesday would be an impossible task. It looks like the Times and Advocate of Portland can find just about as much dirty linen as it is possible to find and they are washing it to a queens' taste, and after all pitiless publicity is merciless and shows up the weak spots. F. E. Purcell the first candidate to announce his candidacy through these columns for the City Council has been endorsed by the Betterment Association and is reported as gaining strength every day. In keeping with the spirit of real democracy we note that Governor Sleeper of Michigan has appointed to a state position W. P. Kemp, editor of a race journal at Detroit. We don't for one minute propose to be stampeded for or against anybody on account of what we hear; truly we are from Missouri and have to be shown. With the various entries for Mayor up to date with us; our only comment is, may the best man win. The California Eagle stirreth its nest, and the rattling of dry bones is at hand; woe be unto you who are not able to stand. With all the changes which have been wrought the chinese crooks seem to have the indian sign on the police, and they continue by some hook or crook to peddle swindling Lottery tickets. And now there are only two sides of anything, and the question is which side are you most content to be on—the right or the wrong side? And it seems as though Japan also had a few points to present at the Peace Table. City News The Tabernacle Art Guild met at the residence of Mrs. Rosa Harris, 947-B Birch St. Election of officers was the main feature and all are now elated over having re-elected Mrs. Stella Kegler as President, and other officers. Covers were laid for 21 to a sumptuous repast. Why the Negro should learn French and Spanish; the answer is found in this month's Crisis. DECEASED. Mrs. Charity Wilkinson, wife of Ben F. Wilkinson died Monday April 14th. She was buried Thursday, April 17th. The funeral was held at he Connor-Johnson Undertaking Parlors; a large number of friends were in attendance.

The social circles of San Diego are indeed glad to have this family return to our city as Mrs. Price is a very talented young woman. Mr. Price was very fortunate in getting employment at once with the Telephone Company. Mrs. Florence Price is agent for the original Poro system Hair and Scalp treatment, and expects to work up a large trade in San Diego. Mr. Alex Moore just arrived from France was entertained Tuesday evening with a Buffet Party, by Mr. and Mrs. W. L. McDonald. Mr. E. E. Shepherd will leave Wednesday to visit friends in Los Angeles and Pasadena. Mrs. C. E. Norwood was in Los Angels Saturday and Sunday attending the Women's State Executive Board and also made report at headquarters for the California Eagle. Last week Rev. Guy received two real surprises. The door bell rang, when it was opened, a party of friends greeted him, some he had not seen since he came to California. Then up came Mrs. Guy; you know the rest. It happened to be the following honored guests: Mrs. Anna Bond, of Chicago; Mrs. Ethel Pieuro and Major Pieuro, of Los Angeles; and Mrs. Mary Stafford and mother, recently of Kansas City, Kansas; Captain Lord Stafford, of Emperium Kansas, and Henry Patterson of Los Angeles. The came Saturday evening, stayed until Sunday morning and returned to Los Angeles; their stay was a pleasant one. The other surprise happened on Thursday evening at the home of Mrs. J. W. Thompson, where the Willing workers held their splendid meeting. A Mrs. Johnson, of Topeka, Kansas, was introduced to the crowd; when it came to Rev. Guy, she asked: "Are you related to Lawyer Guy of Kansas?" He answered, "He is my brother." She then replied, "His son used to be my beau." Well, from the names each of them called they must have known all the inhabitants of Topeka. This Summer, no doubt, will see many visitors to San Diego; so let us make it pleasant for them.

"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. 3: 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 decologue or ten commandments, which embodied the statutes by which Israel was to be governed. The formation 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 fundamen- tal 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 heavenward with full assurance that Thou art able to lift up the fallen from the mire and muck of sin, and place their feet upon a solid foundation which is Thy 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 powerless 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 through 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 always begin and always will remain perfect; but mere faith in the law will never deliver. It takes faith in Christ to do that. Now more particularly, it was the weakness of the flesh of the people of Israel which kept them from fulfilling the requirements of the law. They desired to do so, but lacked the necessary power to do it. They knew that the law says: "Thou shalt have no other Gods before me;" but on the other hand they found themselves unable to resist the power that tempted them to worship other gods. The failure to exercise moral courage and love were among other things that caused these people from time to time to rebel against their God. The advent of Jesus in the book of Revelation we read about the heaven, the earth, and the underworld being searched for someone to loose the book of seven seals, but for a long time no one was found able to take the book from the hands of Jehovah who sat upon His throne. A chosen search, however, revealed Jesus as a lamb slain from the world's foundation standing in the midst of the throne. Jesus prevailed to take the book and unloose the seals. It is this same Jesus that condescends to this earth corrupt with sin and evil to bless us, and lift us to a higher realm of spiritual pleasure and religious enjoyment. Long before he came prophets predicted it, Sages talked about it, and the poor of earth waited with anxiety His appearance. Sin Condemned. But there was a specific reason for His coming to wit: to condemn sin in the flesh. Sin for ages had held the people in bondage. But when Christ came milh filled the hearts of many who had groaned to be liberated from their enslavement. Jesus is the only hope of man obtaining mental, body and soul freedom; there is no other way to get it. He condemns sin in the flesh, sets the captive free, opens the prison to those who are bound. Jesus didn't come to destroy the law or prophets, but to fuffil them. In Him there is perfect peace and happiness; yea, all that we need. Let us look to Him—trust and obey Him, hear and follow Him—then we will mount up on eagle's wings and fly to our haven, after death, beyond the skies.

At 11, a.m. we were favored with a very excellent address by Miss Martha Drummer, a returned missionary from Africa. Longe before the time for the evening services the people began to assemble to hear the choir in their new robes render the Cantata "The Holy City." Many who were able to judge, freely admitted that it was the greatest musical treat of its kind ever presented the people of Los Angeles. Many requests have come in to have the Cantata repeated when it can be begun in time to have all the people enjoye it from beginning to end. Too much credit cannot be given the Chorister, Prof. W. V. Howard, Mrs. H. M. Markham, our organist, and each member of the choir who labored so earnestly to make the effort a success. Total collection for the day. $10.44.

Come and worship with us. A SERMON PREACHED BY REV. ARCHIE J. WILLIAMS Pastor Trinity Baptist Church, Sunday, April 6th. "Therefore To Him That Knoweth To Do Good And Doeth It Not—To Him It Is Sin." There is in the very nature of man an instinct for religion. This instinct may have been cramped and dwarfed by sin. Man may deliberately crush the Godward impulse of his soul and drive the thought of God from his life so that in every practical way he may seem to live as if there were no God. But dead, indeed, must be the human soul which in its serious and sober hours does not remember God. ```markdown ``` memory The sense of responsibility to him returns again and again; the duty to obey and serve him is recognized; the prospect of standing in judgment before the Almighty looms large before the soul. It is our belief that in great masses of men and women there is the expectation that some time in their life here, before the end comes and they pass out into eternity, they will definitely settle the religious issues of life and make their peace with God. We areainf to believe that very few men and women have absolutely and finally repudiated the hope which is in the Gospel. They do not repudiate, but they postpone God's call to them. They intend to obey, but for the time being they decide to wait. So it is with multitudes. They are waiting, they are not saved yet, but they are hopeful that some day before it is too late they will be saved. Such is the religious conditions today of many of our friends and neighbors. We are not in despair about them. We are not even seriously distressed. We know they are not unfriendly to religion. In so far as they express themselves their attitude toward Christ is favorable. They have not accepted and confessed him. They have not delinquently and personally laid hold of the salvation which he brings. But while there is life there is hope, and so we idy acquiesce ni their policy of waiting. They wait and we also wait, and while they and we are waiting the days pass and the wick of life is burning to its socket. What shall we say about this policy of waiting? We all recognize the uncertain tenure of life. We know that in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, any soul may be hurled without warning into eternity to face the issues there. But we presume that the approach of death will cast some shadow before it so that we shall have warning that our time to go has come. We think that if it should come to such an issue there will be time even in the last hours to turn to God and be saved. It may be so, and it may not be so, when your last hours come. I have stood by the bedside if many as they have passed over the brink going down into the valley of the shadow. The burning fever, the clutch of mortal pain, the quick and tosome breathing, the uncertain and slipping consciousness as the light of reason seemed to flash and fade and flash and fade again. The cry of fear from loved ones standing by, their desperate plea to help the dying find God in that last hour. God forbid that we should take away the word of hope from any, man, even in his last gasp, but from what mine own eyes have seen I know that the last hour of life are not the proper time to settle these great issues between the soul and its God. The right time to deal with this great question of salvation is when the soul i sin possession of its faculties and can clearly and certainly know what it does. Yet many are waiting and we seem to be willing for them to wait with the feeling that if death does not slip upon them unawares, if we can avoid that one thing that is the only danger—the possibility that while they are waiting death may suddenly and unexpectedly catch them before they make their peace with God. This danger is real. While we would not presume to say the final word as to what any should may do in the future, yet, speaking upon the basis of probabilities, we say with confidence that many of those who are today waiting to accept and confess Christ will never do it. They will die in their sins and pass on in eternity unsaved. In spite of the fact that—"There's a wideness in God's mercy, like the wideness of the sea."—In spite of the fact that Christ on the cross tasted death for every man; in spite of the fact that God has given them the most earnest invitation again and again; it all comes to nothing, and they die unsaved because of their neglect. But the danger of deaft overtaking them unprepared is only one part of the peril of waiting. There is a serious phase of this matter of which we may not so often or so readily think—"Waiting is Sin"—Those who are waiting, by that very attitude of soul, confess that they know it is the will of God that they hear and obey his son. They know and yet they do not act. Plainly our text applies to them—"Therefore to him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is sin."—The connection in which the text appears makes it more clear that it applies to these men and women who are waiting. James is speaking to those who were presumning upon to-morrow, boasting of what they would do in the future. He says all such boasting is vain, for no man knows what shall be on the morrow. The persent offords the only opportunity of which any soul can be sure, and to know this but not to act upon it, so that valuation is in Christ and yet not to submit to him and secure it immediately, is sin. It may be doubted whether we appreciate how great is this sin. Every time we postpone this step is a definite act of disobedience to God. I want to call your attention to Gen. 6:2—"That his spirit will not always strive with you;" Hos. 4:17—"Ephraim is joined to his idols; let him alone;" Prov. 29:1—"He being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed and that without remedy;" Prov. 1:24—"Because I have called and ye refused. I have stretched out my hand and no man regarded; but ye have set at naught all my council and would none of my reproof; I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me; for that they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the Lord, shall they eat of the fruit of their own way and be filled with their own devices." Do these words touch you? O God that not a single boy or girl go away to-night without finding thee. BAPTIST MINISTERS UNION NOTES. The constitution of the Union has been changed, and the officers are now elected for six months instead of for three. A special Relief Fund for needy ministers is also provided for by the new constitution. Captain E. L. Gaines, of Pasadena, addressed the Union Monday on the subject, "Regeneration."

THE SUBJECT OF BEING CLOTHED This is one of the geratest subjects that has been produced and it ought to be the leading desire of every child of God, that confesses to be born of God. It is not enough to get into the church and live a good moral member of the church, that doesn't amount to anything as far as salvation is concerned. You have been told to get converted and join the church and you are saved but that is not salvation; that is just the first step. I will call your attention to the subject—2 Corinthians 5—1. For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens; 2. For in this we groan, earner desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven; 3. If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. This is addressed to saints that have been brought into the knowledge of God by the Holy Ghost, God's minister. This building is Christ, in other words the kingdom of God. We turn to Revelations 8:18—"I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and annoint thine eyes with eyes; that thou may see. As many as I love I rebuke and chaneneth; be zealous and repent behold I might at the apotheosis, knock if any hear my voice and open the door I will come into him and give him with him and he with me.

Revelation 21: 4. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain for the former things are passed away. This is the garment that we must be clothed in. Our experience must correspond with the word of God.

Raymon and Chestnut Sts. The reception for the returned Pasadena colored heroes of the world war will be held Friday evening April 20th, at the Red Cross Headquarters, North Raymond and Chestnut Bits, under the auspices of the Pasadena Negro Welfare Committee. It was first decided to hold the reception at the 1st. A. M. E. Church, because the Committee on Place could find no hall in the city with adequate facilities for holding such an a.air; but through the efforts of Mrs. Wm. Bunch, one of the Committee on Arrangements, the Red Cross Headquarters was gladly truned over to the Committee for the reception. The place is large and commodious with splendid facilities for just such an affair, and the Committee is very thankful to Mrs. Bunch for securing it. A splendid program has been arranged, also a very enticing Menu. The boys will be there with their Gas Masks and Steel Hefmits and will demonstrate how they were worn and why. They will lalso make short talks. Lieutenants D. Mathews and Jackson of Los Angeles will mak sehort talks. Lieut. Mathews was in command of the 350th Machine Gun Company which fought right up to the last minute and was on their way to Metz. Lieut. Jackson was with the Infantry and was wounded and gassed, and he also was on the way to Metz when the Armistice was signed. A chorus made up fro mthe different church choirs will sing patriotic songs; the Young Mens Glee Club will also sing, and the Booker T. Boys Club will sing, "Hurrah for the Boys in Kahki." Other speakers will be Atty. Thomas Pearson of Chicago and Prof. J. C. Moore of Pasadena. Capt. Wm. Reynolds will sing Harry Lauder's Peace Song—"Don't let us us sing about war any more, just let us sing of love." The Rev. W. H. Tillman will preside, and the Rev. Wm. Prince will be the Master of Ceremonies. Admission is free. A charge will be made to those carnig to eat other than the boys and their parents, to help pay expenses. Easter Sunday will be a busy day in Pasadena at the 1st A. M. E. Church the Choir under the direction of Madame Corine Ficks assisted-by Miss Marie Hilda Ford, will render "Inflamatus," with Miss Ford as soloist. They will also render other Easter numbers. At hte 1st A. M. E. Church last Sunday, the Rev. W. H. Tillman filled the pulpit for the Rev. Taylor, and everyone seems to be immensely pleased with his effort. At the Friendship Church the Rev. J. F. C. Taylor filled the pulpit for the Rev. Tillman and delivered a splendid sermon from the subject: "Whole-heartedness," and he did it with his whole heart and God prospered him. Everyone was smuch benefitted by the earnest and forceful manner in which the speaker presented his arguments, admonishing all that whatever they went to at to do it with all their heart and they would be sure of success. The large congregation was well pleased with the Rev. Taylor and his discourse has been the topic for favorable comments all the week. At the Friendship Baptist Church, Easter will be observed all through the day, beginning with the.Sunday School at 9:30, the 11 o'clock service when the pastor will preach a Missionary Sermon—"The Gospel in Africa," also the Y. W. M. A. at 3:30 p. m. will have a program with Prof. Wm. R. Carter as the principal speaker and interesting numbers by some of our young people. The B. Y. P. U. at 6:30 will continue the Easter thought during their session. At 8:00 p. m. the Choir under the direction of Wm. Reynolds will render a sacred Cantata—"The Nazerene," that takes Christ from the prophecy to the Ressurrection. It will be a very interesting evening for music lovers. The Rev. Mack Allen, Pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church has tickets out for a May Festival that will run from the 5th to the 12th of May. He promises a great feast of reason and flow of soul during that period. Sunrise Prayer Services will be held at all churches on Easter Sunday morning. Everybody should worship somewhere. ```markdown ``` The aristocrats of California and tourists of the East have made their homes here.

Taylor, traveling Evangelist of the Church of God in Christ for the State of California departed this life October 21, 1918, after an illness of only 8 days. Bro. Taylor lived a life that was honorable in the sight of God. A beautiful character for humility, yet positive in his work for God. His funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. at the Saints Home Church 20th and Hooper Ave. Rev. J. D. Gordon and Pastor Driver will talk about the Life of our dear beloved Brother which was indeed to those who knew him the latter years of his lief, a beautiful one with God. Friends and co-workers are invited to attend the services. TENNIS CHATTER Wm. M. Watson The Western Federation of Tennis Club's tourney Sunday April 13th was a scream. There were eight teams entered as follows: Mrs. Henry Young and Florence Harris; Charlott Hubert and Fern Caldwell; Alice Jones and Lottie Bolds; E. J. Peters and Al Matthews; Paul Williams and Ballinger Kemp; Mack White and Chester Williams; Joe Oliver and Roscoe Broyles. The affair was staged as practice contests, but there was more melodramatic Sherlock Holmes- Nick Carter, Diamond Dick hair-breath escapes and excitement than was ever pulled off in these parts before. Of all the unheard of and impossible drives, smashes and safe returns, you never saw the like. Alice Jones with that wonderful free-arm drive; Mrs. Young's unbeatable back-hand returns; Charlott Hubert's terrific service; Florence Harris's perfect placement and enormous territory covered; Lottie Bolds's speed and endurance, while Fern Caldwell displayed her usual generalship, although Miss Harris and Mrs. Young got away with honors of the day. And the boys were a riot, with fierce wallops, smashes, drives and impossible stunts that they would never attempt in regular tournaments. Paul Williams and his pal, 'Bal Kemp grabbed the cheese for the day. Now for the May Day Tournament (May 30) of Ladies and Men's Singles and the dance at the Assembly Hall. The new club—The Omega Tennis Club—is now a member of the Federation, it is the seventh club and listen! The Alpha Tennis and Outing Club of Seattle, Washington is now a full pledged member also, making the eighth club, and incidentally the Federation realizes its ambition to cover the East. (In unity there is strength!) This Seattle Club has a membership of over ninety, and it is said that some real tennis players are among them. We do know that Alva Garrott, son of Dr. A. C. Garrott, and the 1915 local champion here, is now a Seattleleian—so the question now is just who is the champion of the Pacific Coast? What about an early meeting of the best racqueters of the North with those of the Southland at some middle point, say Frisco or Oakland? A battle between these birds would stir up considerable smoke and excitement, then we could sweep up the remains, doctor them a little, crate them and expire 'em pre-paid to New York by August first. Think it over.

It has come to our ears that Miss Edna Heard, member and student of the Santa Monica High School, has finally succeeded in proving her worth to both pupils and faculty of that institution. Friday evening, April 11th Miss Heard was one of the main features at the girls' annual entertainment—the "Gymn Ginks." It does not seem necessary to give in detail the events of the evennig although Miss Heard was obliged to appear for the fourth time. She was accompanied by Miss Zhan White. The dance followng the program was played for by the Misses Jeanie Skinner, violin; Roberta Reed, saxaphone; Rose Martin, drum; Miss White and our own Miss Heard at the piano. * * * * Sure they will go to the Jazz Dance at Normandy Hall, April 22nd.

WRITE TO-DAY! ```markdown ``` (Continued from Page 7) I heard a great vioce out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them and be their God. This is the place he went to prepare. You neither have to go up nor down, invisible city here on earth among men; these are the mansions. He that overcometh shall inherit all things. I will be his God, and he shall be my son. Revelation3:12. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out; and I will write upon him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God and I will write upon him my new name. Revelation 22:11. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still; and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still; and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still; and he that is holy, let him be holy still. These are persons that are unjust, who don't care to make any progress in religion, living in their sins and expect to go to heaven when they die. Legal holiness, self-righteous, pass out of this world in that state; no changes. Remain there until the last judgment. J. H. FOSTER, God's Messenger OLD FOLKS HOME NOTES The Board of Directors have received three applications for admission to the Home during the past two weeks. These applications were acted upon favorably and the applicants admitted. Mrs. S. B. Strickland, the efficient secretary, is ever on the lookout for the Home, and has secured a donation of a number of chickens. Mrs. V. Fingers, of the Trustee Board, has donated a roll of wire for the poultry plant, and has assured the Board of further assistance. The First Baptist Church, through the instrumentality of Dr. W. R. Carter, has agreed to seat the Assembly Room so services may be held there from time to time. The Allensworth Club, always willing to help worthy enterprises, recently donated $15.00 to the Home.
