Los Angeles, California. Dear Friend and Brother: Once again I address you to ask the favor of the columns of the Eagle for the purpose of communication of information concerning myself, to my many friends in Los Angeles, whom I feel are sincerely interested in my welfare. It has been two months now, since I departed from the city that had become so dear to me, not only because of its unexcelled climate, but most of all because of the calibre of friendships, it had been my good fortune and extreme pleasure to form, while sojourning within its environs. And while the being absent from such familiar surroundings with its worm friendships and being a stranger among strangers, in a strange place, causes me at times to feel in no small measure, the vacuum thus created in my life, yet I am sustained and comforted by the realization that all worthwhile asperations entail some sacrifice before being fully realized. My attention to this vacuum, however, is somewhat deflected, by the congenial atmosphere with which the management of this institution makes apparent effort to keep the Home filled with. Since my last letter, I have in no wise felt occasion to change my opinion concerning the unprejudiced administration of the institution; indeed, this opinion has only been strengthened by the linger contact with the superintendent and his official associates, which I believe has been ample time for me to analyse their prejudices and fathom the depth of their interest, correctly. Accepting competent advice. I decided, as a starter, upon tackling the art of Pasket-weaving; which I have come to believe offers greater possibilities, for the particular work, that occasioned my being here, than at first appeared to me. This work-shop is presided over by a lady whose congenial disposition and gentle patient reflects sunshine into their lives and encourages and inspires to greeter efforts, the members of hr class. And they seem to be never more contented and happy, than when in the work-shop. As may be imagined concerning an institution of this kind, it is filled with people from many different environments and religions with their subsequent differences concerning proprieties and experiences of domestic political and religious life. But the truly domestic freedom accorded them, successfully eliminates all possibility for friction these scores and permits a composite blending of interests, into a high appreciation of the enjoyments of "Our Home." Every evening after supper, the men gather in specially provided Smoking room, with its cushioned benches and adiuate heating accommodations, where they listen to an employee, paid to read thoroughly to them the current news. Entertainments considered of probable interest or edification to the inmates are furnished by outside friends of the institution; thus religious, civic, college and other social organizations seem to consider it a privilege not to be neglected and vie with each other in their efforts to do their bit towards lightening the hearts of the Blind Home. So each inmate has opportunity to enjoy en- ```markdown ``` The California Eagle terrainments that harmonize with his or her individual appreciation. During the intervals when they are off from work, if no entertainment is provided for them in the specially appointed Assembly Hall or Reception Room, the inmates entertain themselves in their rooms with musical instruments of all description, personally owned by them; and one may hear in the corridors of the dormitories, music from violin, accordion, phonograph, organ, piano, guitar and flute; some of which are especially well rendered. Others enjoy themselves strolling around a large paved circle in the centre of which is a fountain pool in which zoll-fish besport themselves, or else sit and chat on benches which are placed around the beautiful lawn. It is an occasion for wonder, that the gloom demons of pessimism, can find no permanent lodging in such a place? Some of them have been contented to live her in the neighborhood of thirty years; despite the comparative close proximity of near relations, many seem satisfied to pay them only occasional visits. My health since being here has been "par excellence;" indeed, I don't think I have ever "felt physically better; neither has my spirit been quenched, nor the ardor of my ambition been lessened. On the contrary, my zeal for the duty I believe to be mine, has been fanned to a greater intensity as a result of some data I have been able to secure, concerning the nature of this duty which has come from an authoritative source. This information is to the effect, that according to the 1910 Census of the blind in the United States, more than seven thousand (7,000) are negroes; of this number, only a trifle more than three hundred (300) could read. There were only two schools for blind negro children; but what is even more lamentable, no record has been found of any provision for training adult blind negroes; and as a result, the record further shows that only a very few follow gainful occupations. Of course MISS MINNIE ALBRITTON TO PRESENT 100 CHILDREN Miss Minnie Albritton is interested in the greatest talent of the Negro race. Since childhood, blessed with the talent herself, it has been her chief interest in life to help the Race to its birthright title, "the producer of the world's greatest singers." For three years she has studied in the very finest Conservatories that this country affords, the New England Conservatory of Boston, Mass., with the idea of doing her bit towards the earning of the Race its due. Having come home last summer to recuperate in health, her efforts have not been for this time strenuous; however, she has been working, and it is at this time that she is prepared to present 100 children, from the ages of four to sixteen, to you that they may show that the talent of the Negro is inborn. With only a few week's training these tots are prepared with solos, duetts, quartetts and contatas to fairly take one off one's feet with the beauty and volumnity of their voices. If you are really interested in the line of art, wherein rests the Race's greatest future, you should not fail to avail yourself of the opportunity of judging for yourself it's merits hear the children Fri.

Grand Master T. A. Harris presiding. The representatives came from throughout California, and one Lodge in Portland, Ore. There were about (Continued on Page 8) Captain F. H. Crumbly on Question of the Hour THE QUESTION OF THE HOUR. The colored officers' and soldiers' complaint against discrimination in Europe. I firmly believe to be fully justified. It was the policy of the American officer and soldier to discriminate against the colored man in the war with Spain. In the South, where military National guards were held under authority of the State when the war with Spain came on, the Governors of most all of the States except Virginia and N. Carolina, refused to order Negro regiments out under their own command, and stated that if they would so under white officers they would consider the matter. They stated that their reason was, first, that the authority and pay was too great for a colored man to exercise and receive. The Hon. Judson W. Lyons, then Register of the U. S. Treasury, was notfied, and he promptly brought the matter to the attention of President McKinley, who at once ordered the enlistment of ten immune regiments and two colored regiments for service in the Philippine Islands, with colored officers; at that time Adjutant-General Corbin, U. S. A. is reported to have objected to the introduction of colored commissioned officers, saying that Negro men were only fit for dishwashers for white soldiers. However, he later agreed that there should be only lieutenants and captains of men of color, and that all the regimental staff should be white men. We accepted this degree of proscription and entered the service. White officers discriminated against colored officers and white soldiers against colored soldiers in the United States and in the islands of the Atlantic and the Pacific; they would tell natives that we were a bad people; that we would assault their women and girls; that we were inhuman; so that at first, upon entering a station relieving white troops, the natives thought that the worst part of the thewar had just come, and a majority of families would run for their lives to the mountain ranges for refuge. Sometimes it would take months for them to learn the truth, and they would gradually return to their homes. On the contrary, it was the white Americans who destroyed their virtue, pilled their homes and violently mistreated them as if they were not human beings; but just as soon as they learned the colored man's character and saw the fine discipline of the soldiers, they were pleased with our having come among them. Some white officers did not appear to have regard for the discipline of the great U. S. army in any matter where a colored officer or soldier was involved; in that officers, as well as white soldiers, would evade saluting a colored officer or soldier whenever he could possibly do so. There we had to face just the same discrimination as was shown to our officers and men in Europe. We did our duty; we made a record that every soldier and officer is proud of who went to Europe, as well as at Carazal. The Civil and Revolutionary Wark. Still the white man continues to insist on spitting on us; keeping white heels on black necks and restricting our opportunities. Think of a World War and colored men going into it knowing that it is possible for you to be a knightcaps or a captain on the most excellent efficiency; thus far and no further need you to expect promotion; while to the white lad was given assurance that every rank and grade and honorable detail was open to him, up to that of becoming the Commanding General of our heroic army; still with a sense of knowledge of this injustice, like true Americans, we went forward and conquered. The black man returns home, and excepting New York and Illinois, no attention is given him out of the expenditures of private and public funds, organized for his reception; to the contrary, he has been deprived of his uniform, insulted because he wore it, and even deprived of his life, according to press accounts; lynching was continued, while our men suffered and bled and dired for a government which does not afford us even ordinary protection; our women have been murdered by mob, and the unborn nestling quietly within their wombs, awaiting natural operations for its advent into the world, have been ruthlessly disembowed during the process of mob operations in great America; with these and other equally revolting conditions that we stand face to face with, can any American man, white or black, marvel at the reason why the islanders of the Sea, the Republic of Mexico, or any group of Europeans, should inquire why the colored Americans should fight against them. These things ought not so to be: we have proven our manhood and loyalty to this land of our birth, and all we ask is an equal opportunity in the race of life. We have white man's best friend. President Wilson, with all he has done to us by commission and omission, for I cannot but believe but that in his heart of heart he has realized his devilment and his incivility to this group of people, still when the nation made an inspection of home conditions, facing great numbers of people from every part of the world who were not Americans in sympathy, then it was that at Washington a true, honest and dependable man was found needed to safeguard our national departments, and the verdict of the President and Cabinet was to call to that important duty the colored men of the gallant 15th of New York State. The record there is but a repetition of the record they have always made in peaceand in war. Has the white man a soul? What form of religion does he practice? He cannot be a devotee to that Biblical principle of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, nor of the Golden Rule—to treat others as they should treat you. As a race, we are too easily deceived by the deceiver. We too easily forgive; we remain silent when we should protest in a manly and intelligent way; we have no right to expect the favor of any good white man when we do not use the ballot nor our intelligence in protesting against the wrong: we have nota community of interest enough to organize ourselves as we should; there is too much jealousy within our ranks, and we must now turn the light on and see our duty and energies; ourselves as never before; no one will help him who does not help himself, but we should proceed like men and not be led like sheep to slaughter by the men who for fifty years have no record of virtue to stand upon. A number of new leaders should be found who will work for the Race unsuccessfully and THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT. ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN ersfield d's Hall on Question not for profit. Possibly the best and most hopeful agency today is the Association for the Advancement of Colored People; they have done, and are doing now, more effective service than any in the past. Let us all put in line by becoming a member, thereby leading encouragement to greater results through its well organized system for Race advancement. let's stop fighting each other; let the big men of the Race stop trying to do each other at the expense of the Race. Let's have "a long pull, a strong pull and a pull altogether for our own advancement." THE NEW YORKER PROF. THOMAS JOHNSON Baritone and Director Mr. Thomas Johnson was first heard in our city on the occasion of the recital of Miss Minnie Albritton at Wesley Chapel. Who is he and where did he come from? This whispered between the outbursts of laughter on all sides, very plainly said that with comic song. Mr. Thomas Johnson had captured the hearts of his one thousand hearers. He was entirely new. They had not heard him, and so pleased was he that all feared they were having, perhaps, a dream and by daylight they would have lost a pleasant vision. Not so! On many programs since that time he has appeared, and so hearty the reception on each occasion that it is very evident that he is very real, and his wonderfully pleasing voice and personality a big reality. However, the people have not ceased to wonder where he came from and now the California Eagle takes great pleasure in releasing this bit of news. Prof. Thos. Johnson has been for many years a leader and director of music and musical concerts. Perhaps best known in the east is he; as the baritone and manager of the Metropolitan Singers; a high class company of jubilee and concert singers. His work with that company is known in the east to be of high repute. Mr. Nellie Johnson sister of Mr. Johnson was the soprano of the company. Having come west because of the favorable conditions here, Mr. Johnson has ever since been buoyed ened in the musical circles. He was with the Independent Church of the City is commendable to the high degree: As another bit of honour the Pacific Coast Club will present to Thomas Johnson.

Children’s Day was a “new day” this past Sabbath in the historic life ‘of First A. M. E. Church. The Cra- dle Roll services were the first of ‘their kind ever preached here. Cecil Brummer rosebuds and baptismal certificates were presented the many sweet babies in attendance, and the pastor's sermon from the subject, “The Training of a Child and Decision for Christ," seemed to have reached the hearts of every- body. At Invitation time, when children and grown folks were asked to make a decision for Christ and unite with the church, 30 souls came forward amid a blaze of hallejuah- fire, Thirty infants and young folks were baptised at the altar. At eve- ning service the Sunday School pupils and the Celestial Choir rendered an unsurpassable Children's Day pro- gram, which elicited deserving praiso froin the entire assemblage. The of- fering for this annual occasion was a record-breaker. Parents and chil- dren, together with the Sunday Schovl teachers and officers. are to be complimented and thanked for the big success of this great and truly edifying Children's Day. Rev. A. D. Chandier, noted divine of Michigan, with headquarters at Detroit, will preach for us at 11 o'clock this third Sunday in June. The pastor will preach at 8 p. m.; Sunday School at 9:30; Allen C. Hndeavor at 6:20. Come early to enjoy the music of our choirs and the entire services of this holy day. Everybody welcome : “Dollar Money Belle” are ringing out true happiness; the loyal mem- bers are bringing to the pastor at such a cheerful and ready response to this annual benevolent claim. At each and every service, which meets your convenience, the pastor will be glad to receive this annudi donation from members and friends. GRANT’S-CHAPEL A. M.-F. CHURCH W. C. Davis, Pastor. Children’s Day at Grant's Chapel A. M. E. Church was indeed an event worthy cf commendation. The ex- ercises began at 3 o'clock p. m., and before that hour the house was filled. The entire program was made up of the children of the Sunday School, and the little it vied with each oth- er, the boys al the girls, in seeing which should deport themge]ves best befcre the audience. The récitations by Mastfts Chas. Young, Moore and Clark, “{ Can. if I Try,” and “I reck- on I'l Pull Through,” were alright, but the most fetching and unique number on the program was the chorus by the “baby. class” of the school. The members of this class Tange from the kindergarten to the 2nd grade. One member of the class, little Miss Myrtle Comfort, presided gracefully at the plano, while her little classmates sang, viz: Misses Josephene Young, Vivian and Florence Dent, ‘and others. The in- atrumental numbers by Master Paul Clark and “Miss Dorothy Jones were oth treats, and indeed the perform- ence of the three musicians, whose ages range from seven to eleven years, was @ pleasant surprise tg all. ‘The entire progtten,-wag hat pues treat. ead all enjoyed. it! ‘Joo much praise cannot be given Mrs. W.

City News Mme Burrell of Washington, D.C., who has been a visitor in our city for the past several weeks delighting with song many audiences, appeared before a large audience at Barker Bros. Furniture Store last Saturday afternoon, the occasion being the regular Artist Concerts held by that firm every Saturday afternoon. To say the least, all were delighted over the madam's mastery of song. This is the first occasion on which any colored person has ever appeared on one of these programs. The appearance of Madame Burrell was due to the solicitation of Mrs. L. John son, whose loyal service has won for her from Mr. Barker the title of a member of the firm. Mrs. Johnson's request that the madame be allowed to appear was immediately and gladly granted. The bill at the Orpheum and Hip podrome is tame when compared with the minstrel show the Alpha Tennis Club is going to pull off June 18th. Mrs. Lillian Moore, president of the Women's District Convention Auxiliary to the Western Baptist Association and one of the greatest missionaries workers on the field today, left Wednesday morning for New Orleans. Mrs. Moore as a missionary worker in this State has accomplished much. Her work among the prisoners and fallen humanity has been so broad and her experience so varied and many that even with the relating of a few, instances tears overflow in the eyes of hearers. Connected with the Baptist church, she has received the recognition due one of her calibre. Since the first year after her arrival in this State she was elected president of the Women's District Convention. an Auxiliary to the Western Baptist Association. The Baptists all over the State, as a denomination, regret the losing of one so faithful and valuable to their work here. All young people become advisers of Mrs. Moore on acquaintance. So it was thought the least they could do when told of her intention of leaving them that they bid her a sad but loving farewell; so on last Monday evening, at the New Hope Baptist Church, the Young Women's Missionary Auxiliary of that church, under direction of Mrs. Millie Taylor, gave a reception in honor of Mrs. Moore. A splendid program was rendered. Mrs. Olivia Rowe presented Mrs. Moore with a beautiful traveling bag as a gift from the Auxiliary. Rev. L. Lively gave an address. Mrs. I. H. Ford, mother of the young Women's Missionary Auxiliaries of the entire State, was present to do honor to her departing sister. Tuesday evening at the home of Mrs. Elmore of 1551 E. 23rd street, a brilliant reception was given Mrs. Moore by the Senior Missionary Society of the New Hope Baptist Church. All Missionary Societies of Baptist churches of the city were invited to attend. The affair was well in accord in completeness and fitness with the character for whom it was given. A wonderful spirit of love and friendship among the Baptist, at this the parting of one of the loveliest of their workers, was much in evidence. The Senior Missionary Society of New Hope Baptist Church presented Mrs. Moore with a beautiful Bible. The Missionary Society of the St. Paul Baptist Church presented her with money.

The Tabernacle Baptist Church in Farewell words to Pastor showed their great devotion they had for him. ... Los Angeles, Cal., May 18, 1919. Greetings from Members of Tabernacle Baptist Church; As we feel that the time is approaching and now at hand that we must say good-bye for some time to come to our beloved pastor, who has been so faithful, loving and kind—blessing all and cursing none; this beloved messenger and teacher of the Living God if received in the right spirit. His Godly conversations have been a blessing to all whom he came in contact with. For 10 years he has stood teaching holiness for without holiness no man shall see God. After striving earnestly he has succeeded in establishing this beautiful truth, which has reached from shore to shore. No day has been too cold and no night too dark, rain or shine, when called but what he was ready to go and do for suffering humanity, beseaching God to heal them. The wonderful work this man of God has wrought here has built a monument in the hearts of people—and not only the people of Tabernacle Baptist Church—but has reached out to other denominations and brought them into a better understanding of the Divine Power of God, that will help us throughout all eternity. During these many years of faithful service we know that you have not been alone God has provided you with a mate who has stood side by side with you to love you and make you strong, and has also been faithful to her calling. May God keep and bless you both for your good works will follow you, and if God wills in the near future that you come back to California, there will be many loving hearts not only of Tabernacle Baptist Church waiting and rejoicing to receive you, but everybody, with hearts full of love for you and yours. ```markdown ``` MACFDONIA BAPTIST CHURCH, WATTS TENNIS CHATTER. Wm. M. Watson. If no disaster overtakes him, such as being asphixiated or married before August 1st, then the good-looking, good-natured, and well behaved Ballinger Kemp will be drafted to New York to battle with the Eastern tennis wonders for National honors, so sayeth the Western Federation of Tennis Clubs and that's official. Fern Gladwell also very clearly demonstrated in the Decoration Day tournament that she is still queen of her sex at the net, although this was stiffly opposed by Mrs. Roscoe Broyles, Mrs. Henry Young and Miss Gilberta Turner, but unless someone shows signs of considerable more "peep" by July 4th, Miss Caldwell will have little trouble in blazing the trail toward New York. Mrs. Young, who is the most formidable contender for the much coveted crown, played a much steadier and better match than she did last year, although she lost by a wider margin, which indicates that the lit-champpeen has not been asleep herself, or at least, with one eye open. It must be said that a more sportsmanlike loser than Eddie Harris never drew on a tennis shoe. He smiles at defeat as though it were victory. Kemp's mighty and almost perfect service was responsible for his victory by a big lead. Harris' vicious drives to the back court forced Kemp to display his wonderful back-hand stuff. The score: Mrs. Young's experience won a fierce encounter from Charlotte Hubert. 5-7, 6-3, 6-4; Mrs. Broyles battled her way to victory over Mrs. Wm. B. Alien. 6-1, 6-4, Miss Tarner lost to the champ. 6-0, 6-2; Miss Caldwell defeated Mrs. Young. 6-2, 7-5; Mrs. Broyles failed with Miss Caldwell. 6-0, 6-2, allowing her to win the silver cup. Farnest Bynum lost to Rosie Broyles. 6-0, 6-0; Paul Williams cleaned up with Al Matthews. 6-2, 6-4; Kemp upset E. J. Peters. 6-1, 6-1; Little Philip Davis and huge J. W. Clark (the Mutt and Jeff of tennis circles), performed, with little Phil as Jeff, soaking Mutt in the bread-basket. 6-1, 6-0; Thos. Bain was rolled around the lot by Wm B. Allen. 7-5, 6-1; Harris scrubbed Hissel Davis. 6-0, 6-3; Kemp mopped up with Broyles. 6-0, 6-1; then Kemp won the silver cup by trampling Harris under foot. 6-2, 6-1. The silver cups were given to the winners at the Trophy Dance. Ans. to E. G. W.—Harris is still the 1918 champion, but must battle for this year's title July 4th. Hello, wifey! Say, let's have dinner at the Country Club tonight after the tennis games. Say, Bill. It's too cool to go to the beach, so meet me tomorrow afternoon at the Country Club: I'll beat you a coup-la sets of tennis, then we'll have a dip in the warm plunge, have dinner and the cigars will be on me. And say, we had better take the Mesdames along; they would enjoy a game and a swim, too. Ves, dear reader, it will not be a great while before you will hear many such expressions as above; that is if the plans of the Western Federation of Tennis Clubs don't miscairy. This organization proposes to purchase an acre or more of ground just outside the city limits, at the end of a car line, and to build a modest but well appointed and up-to-date Club House, with all the modern athletic club equipment, such as reading rooms, library, concert hall, gymnasium, pool and billiard room, bowling alleys, shower baths, Turkish baths, a large warm plunge, a dozen well furnished rooms for week-enders, and about four tennis courts will also grace the premises. Sounds like a dream, eh? Not so, if the five local and three suburban clubs will loyally support the proposition. Every tennis enthusiast in the Southland should kick-in on this movement; it is not a costly affair, and is worth a gold mine to the game. Communicate with the Committee on Ways and Means, Dr. A. C. Garrott, chairman; Paul R. Williams, secretary; Wm. M. Dunn and Wm. M. Watson. Well, next Wednesday night. June 18, we expect to see several hundred supporters of the tennis-players-to New-York drive at the Alpha Tennis lub's minstrel show at T. M. A. Hall, 231 S. Spring street. WE HAVE SNAPS know who the 1919 champs are. Say, what if Fern Caldwell and Eddie Harris should both have their, crowns confiscated at the Santa Monica Tennis Club's tournament at Santa Monica July 4th? They can't wear them forever, you know.

Kaba Rega who states that he is having a magnificent success at El Paso Tex. and wishes to be remembered to his friends of this section, we appreciate the Prince very much for his honorable dealing and that he has justified the confidence we reposed in him. The following letter accompanied his letter to this publication. El Paso Tex. 5 - 29 19 Upon my arrival in El Paso, I got in touch with Rev. J. R. Jackson A. M. D. D. formerly of Atlanta Ga.; who is now pastor in charge of the first Colored Baptist church of this city. He gave me a cordial welcome to his church. I spoke to a packed house Sunday night. I also lectured there on last Monday night. Dr. Jackson is recognized by white and Colored as a man of ability, and is not only one of the best preachers of the state, but one of the ablest of the Baptist denomination, he is a scholar; Logical, Eloquent and spiritual; an able Theologian and a splendid financier. He sways the people of El Paso at will. The beauty of his life: he is strictly a moral man with high ideals, he carries the people of the city. More people flock to his church than to all the other churches of city combined. He takes from 5 to 10 people for membership in his church every Sunday and very nearly every service. Dr. Jackson is a splendid and a safe leader. I have been in the city for more than two weeks and I have come in touch with all classes of people white and black, saints and sinners. Ministers and layman and they all tell me that he has been here a year and five months and that there has not been a blot against his character, he is indeed a worthy man, such as few churches and congregations, in the land can boast. The people of his church and city should forever feel WE STRIVE TO PLEASE.

The people of El Paso were exceedingly fortunate in securing his services. The 1st.

C. A. SPEAR Managing Editor J. B. BASS Editor MAKING THINGS COME TO PASS ALONG THE LINE OF PRODUCTION. After making a trip to Lower California and seeing with her own eyes the wonderful possibilities for production from the soil, Mrs. A. Motley, well known citizen of this city, reported to a gathering of people on last Monday night that the "half has never been told," and that the proposed acquisition of Lower California land would mean the salvation of a people. Now Mrs. Motley is only interested in this movement to the extent of bettering her condition and be of help to the Race with which her destiny is linked. She had heard of these wonderful opportunities lying right at her door, and sought the opportunity of seeing the same with her own eyes. And it is indeed reassuring to the highest degree when we can receive such testimony as hers. The proposition is right up to this people, and we can't get away from it; we must become producers if we get anywhere in the future, and the man or set of men who are leaving no stones unturned to open a way for this realization, will be justly entitled to the everlasting gratitude of a struggling Race. SCALES HAVE NOT FALLEN FROM THEIR EYES. It is hard to believe, but it is a fact that at Oakland there is really a newspaper published which openly deprecates the coming of strangers in their midst; if they dare to be active, they are dubbed "Freshies" and ridiculed, and this from a newspaper. As a matter of fact, latter day enlightenment welcomes to any community brains and energy, the more of it the better for the community; we are sorry indeed that any newspaper at this day and time would seem so far back on the line of civilization; but it is hard to kick against the pricks, especially so when the scales remain on the eyes. THE THREE GRACES. The above is the Title of a neat and comprehensive book consisting of 62 pages, of which Rev. G. W. Reed Russell, L. L. D., of San Bernardino, is the author. The cardinal graces are Faith, Hope and Charity, and in concise and most helpful reasoning, the writer has wrought a message of hope and of cheer; Faith, Hope and Charity is demonstrated to the utmost. It is a wonderful treatise, and no one who aspires to the highest ideals of a Christian life should fail to procure this volume, for it is indeed worth while. We acknowledge the receipt of an invitation to be present at the conference of Republican leaders which takes place at New Orleans Monday. We appreciate the spirit of consulting and asking the co-operation of all the forces throughout the country, and we have great faith in the men who consult the people. We are satisfied that the deliberations at this time will result in much good for the Race. Of cource we have an abiding faith that Mayor-elect Snyder will give due recognition to all classes which go to make up our citizenship. And by the way, that will be more than the people have received in many moons. We propose to stand our ground on due recognition for this people until "our change" comes. There will be more campaigns and more issues, and we propose to call the roll on recognition at every open- Get off cars at Pico Boulevard, Walk 2 blocks east. UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT We will strive to maintain the same high standard set by our predecessors. Spend you week-end or your vacation here at the Water's edge. We rent bathing suits, thus making possible a daily plunge in the ocean. Oh, but how our President likes the European limelight. We move that he be permitted to remain "over there," whether he is chosen President of the world or not. DON'T WAIT TILL I'M DEAD. (Contributed to J. W. Coleman by Jean Carter Coffee.) Oh, please don't wait till I'm dead To say the things that could have been said; That perchance could have prolonged my life While I struggled here 'mid care and strife. Oh, please don't wait till life's journey's through; To do the things you now could do; Oh, give me flowers that I now can see; I pray don't wait till I am gone To mope around and me bemoan, And say we oftimes judged him wrong When we doubted him and turned in scorn. GIRL MAKING GOOD Mrs. Fannie B. Saunders of 221 W. Albert street, Watts Cal., recently received the news from the Freedman Hospital of Washington, D. C., that her daughter, Miss F. Marquette Littlejohn, has successfully completed her probational term in that institution and was recommended by the superintendent of nurses to a surgeon in California in these words, "Miss Littlejohn's work is o. k., and she obeys." Miss Littlejohn left Long Beach on the 29th of last June, at which place her mother at that time resided. She began her work at Freedman's Feb. 3rd. Since that time her every step has been one in advance. She writes her mother in these words: Mamma, dear, take care of yourself and keep young while I am here. You know I promised on leaving that I would enter training at Freedman's with my mind made up, the cost all counted, to be the very best here. Mamma, dear, I am aiming at the sun, and if I hit the mud, I'll hit it with such terrific splash that I'll even then make a dry spot on which other Negro girls might get a foothold. Now, mamma, it is up to you, as usual, to make excuses to my friends for my not writing them, for I am by no means a lady of leisure. One other girl from New Jersey was accepted with me. Now don't worry, but write me twice each week. Your letters are the fuel that I look forward to to keep the fires of my ambition aglow. God bless you all. Lovingly your big girl. MARQUETTE. Coleman Announces His Candidacy For President of the Forum. The unimitable and only J. W. Coleman has authorized the Soaring Eagle to make due announcement that he is a fluff-fledged candidate for president of the Forum. The election takes place on the last Sunday of this month. Coleman is noted as the man who puts "pep" in the deliberations of that body, and is always on the job and maintains a healthy aspiration at all times to the honor of presiding over the same. CARD OF APPRECIATION Aurelian Temple No. 5 rejoices in the grand success of their Banquet De Lux, and do hereby wish to express their appreciation to all friends who contributed to its success.

W. H. WALKER, Secy. In the Music World It may be interesting to know what part the downtrodden Jew? is taking in the world of art, especially music. One is apt to think of the Jew in commercial terms rather than the artistic, but when we realize that five of the world's greatest violinists belong to that race, several great pianists and many others, such as singers, conductors and composers, we are compelled to admit that this despised race is indeed a splendid addition to the artistic world. Among the violinists who are the sensations of the day, we may name: Mischa Elman, Elrem Zimbalist, Toscha Seidel, Max Rosen and, last but not least, Jacha Heifetz, who, by the way, is hardly more than 17 years of age, and is the sensation of Eastern musical circles. The pianist who made the greatest impression last season was Mischa Levitzki. Then there is Leo Ornstein, and one could go on and on naming the different artists who are prominent and belong to this Race. This should be a great incentive to the youths of the colored Race to study hard and make a place in the musical world for their people. The Etude Musical Club of Oakland, Cal., composed of members of the Race, recently gave a very fine program at the Knights of Columbus Hall in that city. The program consisted largely of compositions by Coleridge-Taylor, Dett, Burleigh, Johnson and others. This organization is compessed of some of the best Race talent of Oakland and San Francisco, and is doing meritorious work in the promotion of music in their community. Coleridge - Taylor's "Hlawatha's Wedding Feast," "Death of Minneha" and "The Departure" have been sung by at least a dozen different choral organizations throughout the country within the past month. The latest production is scheduled for performance sometime the last of this month by the Los Angeles Oratorio Society. Madame Louise Hauer Burrell of Washington, D. C., who was heard in Recital recently at the 8th and Towne Avenue church, sang several numbers last Saturday at one of the biweekly musicals given by Barker Eros. Furniture Store. So popular are the Negro spirituals becoming that one can get some of them now arranged for pipe organ. Several publishing houses are issuing these spirituals, and there seems to be an enormous demand for them. A notable feature of the Ohio Music Teachers' Convention (white), held at Akron, Ohio, June 3, 4, 5 and 6, was the concert on the evening of June 5 by the Akron Jubilee Chorus, with Harry T. Burleigh as soloist. A critic of an Eastern periodical says: "Emma Roberts sang a Negro spiritual with such feeling that even the sea lions understood." Another proof that music hath charms to soothe the savage breast. Last Friday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Cole 1516 Dewey avenue, was the scene of a brilliant reception honoring Rev. Arthur D. Chandler, brother of Mrs. Cole. Madam Burrell of Washington D. C. Mr. and Mrs. John Henderson of Chicago and Mrs. Tines of Detroit, Mich. Mrs. Cole was assisted in receiving by her sister, Mrs. W. E. Williams, Mrs. Samuel Thompson, Mrs. Eva Carter Buckner, Miss Anita Thompson presided over the punch bowl. The home was beautifully decorated with roses and asparagus ferns; the dining room had a center piece of marigolds and ferns. This being the occasion of a family reunion, all were made happy by the presence of their aged mother whom Rev. Chandler had not seen for 18 years. All the honored guests are leaving for the East in the near future.

M. The organization of a Y. M. C. A. will be effected at this time and place. Let every one come with the intention of being a charter member, and be prepared to take a membership at the meeting. Prof. T. A. Green Secretary of the Colored department of the Y. M. C. A. of Los Angeles will be present and address the meeting, also some of our local men will make short talks, among whom will be Atty. Thos. Pearson. This is the opportunity which we have long sought and we must make the best of it now. Automobiles are as common these days standing before the Negro churches of Pasadena as they used to be before the white churches. Quite a large number of our group of citizens are purchasing Autos and they are getting some of real class. The latest to join the Auto owners are the Rev. J. A. Fleming with a 7 passenger Studebaker; Miss Florence Weimer with a 5 passenger Maxwell, Mrs. B. L. Turner with a 5 passenger Chevrolet and others whom we do not recall just now. This is a fine showing for the very progressive people of our town. Activities Of Friendship Baptist Ch Things are still very lively at the Friendship, Church, and services last Sunday were well up to the standard. Three additions at the morning service and three more at the evening service made the day's total of six a very satisfactory conclusion of a big day. Sunday School was well attended and the lesson very intelligently and interestingly canvassed. Childrens day was fittingly observed by the primary and Intermediate departments all the S. C. hour, and the little tots certainly entertained the large congregation that came to witness their program. A special feature was the solo (vocal) by little Florence Grant the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Grant. who sang to the accompaniment played by her mother and sang real well. At 3:30 in the afternoon the Childrens Mission Band and the True Blue Girls, presented a splendid A Message of Hope Continued From Page 1 some of this number are fortunate in being citizens of communities, outside the "Jim Crow" zone of the nation, and therefore are accorded the advantages of the provisions for other blind citizens. But when we consider rthat the great majority of the negro population of the nation reside within the restricted district determined by the "Mason and Dixon" line, it should not be difficult to believe that the greatest number of these most unfortunate of peoples, likewise dwell therein. If this deplorable condition existed nine years ago, it seems most reasonable to infer, that the number must have been appreciably increased; and in view of the great strides the cost of living has taken since then, how truly appealing and tragic the suffering and struggle for existence, among these people must be. In view of the fact that the greater proportion of the wealth of the race, doubtless is located in the South, that the leaders of the race, might behold in this, urging social and economic priciple, a harvest for the labor of the true humanitarian; a great opportunity to prove his profession of consisten Christion virtue—a true disciple of the "Lowly Nazenene" or to give irrefutable evidence of genuine altruistic endeavor in the cause of race uplift. I should certainly like to know if this blind negro problem has ever seriously attracted the attention of such organizations as the N. A. A. C. P., or the greatly subscribed to race religious organizations; and whether they have realized in it, viewed it, as true "Black Man's Burden"—a problem that surely must be solved, by, for and within the negro race. And so long as this problem remains unsolved, it shall resound to their shame and seriously hamper the race in its righteous battle before the bar of the court of High—justice—damaging evidence against the claim of worthiness of an equal appointment, just opportunity for the enjoying and profiting by, those inailenable social and economic prerogatives, acknowledged by the United States Constitution and guaranteed to all who prove themselves worthy of and capable of free physical and moral self-government, free abiding citizens. program which consisted of solos both vocal and instrumental, readings and etc. The B. Y. P. U. was all that could be expected with quite a few visitors among whom was Mrs. Moore the retiring president of the W. H. & Foreign Missionary Convention, who is going to leave California for New Orleans La. to join her husband the Rev. Moore who has been called to a charge in the great Southern city. On Wednesday evening instead of the regular mid-week prayer meeting, the Rev. Chandler of Detroit Mich., who is the State Missionary of that state preached a very impressive sermon on the subject "The art of soul winning" showing conclusively that in order to be a soul winner the Christian must work in co-operation with the Holy Spirit, and not be entangled with the world. In next week's issue we will announce the time and place of the great entertainment extraordinary to be given by the Brotherhood of the Friendship Baptist Church. A great Men's chorus will be heard at that time and the whole program except the main speaker will consist of solos Quartetto's and choruses by a big Chorus of men. Keep Friday the 27 open do not make a date for it. The Young Womens Auxiliary of the church will hold their regular mid-month meeting on next Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. They have arranged a fine program for this meeting, and are urging on the members and friends to come out in large numbers and hear this splendid program. Most of the participants on the program are from Los Angeles and it is up to the people of Pasadena to fill the church at that hour and greet them. Missionary workers and friends from all the churches are urgently requested to attend and enjoy the afternoon. The program follows Chorus by the Y. M. C. A. of Friendship, Solo (vocal) Mrs. S.

SMITH Secretary Hoping that in these few remarkable remarks, I may have given expression to some thought that may strike a responsive chord in the bosom of every reader, that shall lend impetus to the movement toward the solution of the problem that seems to me to be so urgent in its immediate demand, but trusting I have not imposed upon your time or favor and sincerely thanking you for past favors, I remain, Very truly yours, ALEXANDER J. NAILOR 45th Session Grand Lodge (Continued from Page 1 150 delegates and visitors present, and Bakersfield reached its ambition—to give the Grand Lodge the best entertainment in its history. The City Manager bid them welcome, turned over to them the keys of the city, with the assurance that there would be no discrimination in any place of public accommodation while the Grand Lodge was in session. And it was a free town for once. Drug stores, restaurants, hotels, soda fountains and ice-cream parlors—all open and service rendered. The Grand Master's Annual Message was said to be a gem. His years of experience make him especially qualified to steer the Masonic craft along the landmarks of the Order. The next session will meet at San Diego the first Monday in June, 1920. The Grand Lodge is in a splendid financial condition. Plans were made to purchase a site conveniently located, upon which to erect a Masonic Temple. There was great interest manifested in the election of grand officers in the afternoon, as assemblage, when the following men were elected to the following positions: T. A. Harris, Grand Master; Nelson Scott, Deputy Grand Master; G. W. Kinney, Grand Senior Warden; J. Leggins, Grand Junior Warden; H. S. Houston, Grand Treasurer; G. W. Wolson, Grand Secretary, and Samuel Knight, Grand Lecturer. The Grand Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star is also in session. The opening was held Monday morning. The election was held in the afternoon. Mattle B. Saunders was elected Worthy Grand Matron; Mrs. Arline Houston, Associate Grand Matron; Mrs. Elizabeth Brown, Grand Treasurer; Mrs. Frances Tyrel, Grand Secretary; Mrs. M. F. Sebrle, Grand Conductress and Mrs. Bryant, Associate Conductress LAST SAD RITES At 1st. A. M. E. Church, 8th. and Towne Ave. June, 11th. the last sad respects were paid to Mr. Clarence Williams, who departed this life on June 7th. in Monrovia. The funeral service was held at one o'clock. Father Cleghorn of the Episcopal Church, read the scripture lesson from Ecclesiastics, 12th. Chap. The choir sang beautifully, and selected Some of the deceased's favorite Hymns. The pastor Dr. Craw, took for his text, - 2nd. Corinthians, 4th. Chap. 11th. verse. The sermon was very impressive, and one that appeared to reach the hearts of the entire audience. Many beautiful floral pieces were embanked around the casket, furnished by the following auxiliary boards of the Church, and friends; Stewardesses, Trustees, Missionary and Men's Auxiliary of Stewards, in which the deceased was a member and was looked upon as a star some day. Many other friends gave floral pieces and flowers. Among those, many were White friends. The good people of Monrovia also showed their respect to Mrs. Williams on short acquaintance, for her true care and devotion to her husband. Another broken link in the ranks of the Christian young men of this community. Peace to his ashes and rest to his soul. Smith and Williams were the undertakers and made a very elaborate funeral. By Elberta Aibritton In one of the debating classes out at the Los Angeles High School the discussion of elections after the Civil War was being held. A white girl asserted that the election of Hayes, was a failure, was swayed by illiterate Negroes of the South. This she said was an election by the conventional system. The affirmative, in refuting her statement, said that that was only one instance of the conventional system failing, whereas numerous were the occasions of the failure of the direct primaries, and for an in- dance pointer, submit the notice of a bunion, illiterate groves on today they could say to whole election. Miss Junice Mitchell, the only colored student of the class, arose immediately and said, "I wish to refute the statement of my opponent; I maintain that the Negro voters of today are not a bunch of illiterates. The majority of them know as much about, and are more deeply interested in, the qualifications of candidates for election than the majority of the white race." "A white girl arose to the support of Miss Mitchell's statement. The discussion was brought to a close by the teacher remarking, "I think we are a little off our question." OFFICE LIFE. Tragique and Comique. Whew! We almost went up in smoke this week. Editor, assistant Lyno operator and head printer—puff! puff! puff! Well, it is always customary and necessary to smoke out the hen-house in the springtime, and I suppose the gentlemen that the shop could stand a bit of it—but Dear Sirs, it is summer now. Speaking of smoking, why, the editor is exceedingly 'extravaganza this week. Is it worry or the general excitement of a freed man. His wife has gone to the country. Says he to the assistant Lino operator, "Say, have you a match, and (all in the same breath) you haven't any extra tobacco, have you? Almost reminds one of "Please lady, give me a drink. I am so thirsty I don't know where I am going to sleep tonight!" After he smoked the "gimme" tobacco vigorously up—true to, "water seeks its own level"—another puffer sauntered in, invited himself to a chair and poised artistically, puffing slowly as though thoughtfully, but on the wink, reservingly thusly, he was tapped by the editor with "Did you bring an extra cigar along with you?" But said visitor is not of the sappy kind, and the reply, to the utter disappointment of the now loss for action editor was, "nope!— Sorry." And—the head printer received a phone message that sent him hurriedly and absent-mindedly away. After having been gone long enough to be half way home—what was our surprise on looking him and seeing him come hurriedly in looking distressed, worry wrinkles in his forehead and his eyes flying searchingly THE STOCKIST'S CAFE Metropolitan Hair Store and Costuming Establishment The only race establishment on the Pacific Coast where you may be fitted up in anything made from HA1R and secure the most fastidious costume for Masquerade Balls, Tacky Parties, or Colonial Dances. o'er the stones. We were all afraid to ask, thinking perhaps he had lost a twenty dollar note. I stood 'breathless until I saw him rush to a certain spot, his eyes lit up with a joy of the redeemed. He pounced on his pipe as a niser on a "lost but found" gold coin. In times of distress and dire necessity, fools often become sage, and the weak bear the burden of the strong. So it is that this week, the mischievous twinkle in the eyes of the "printer's devil" has been exchanged for a sober carnestness, and so profound has been the respect he has received from all sides that he has daubed himself "papa." It must be the way of a MAN. I ! know the way of a woman to be that of enduring the battle and then to faint away. But he, with the battle on, did endure—oh, yes! and just at the moment when the woman would have failed—at the parting HE, the MAN, was most calm and apathetic—the Lyno operator. W. H. The California Eagle is rejoiced with the wonderful success that Miss Beasley has met with on all hands in the sale of her book, "Negro Trail Blazers of California." We are rejoiced that our people should be so awakened to the things of life worth while as they have demonstrated in the interest they have shown in a very meritorious work. Miss Beasley is kept busy at all times trying to fill the orders that come to her for the book. She is stopping at the Sojourner Truth Home. If you have not met her or read her book, do so. Mrs. C. A. Bass is preparing a criticism on the "Negro Trail Blazers," to be published soon. MADE A COMMENDABLE SHOWING Charles Olivier, who had charge of the colored workers for the Woodman forces in the campaign which closed on June 3rd, says he endorsed the Eagle article on the disgraceful scenes the night preceding the election and wants us and his friends to know that he had no connection with such hoodium methods that were pulled off on that night; that his efforts were with the best bonafide citizens of the town, who worked along legitimate lines and respectful lines. He points to the gains made for Woodman in all the colored precincts, which averaged from 3 to 4 to one. He regrets that such tactics were used and that in his judgment was of such nature as to drive support from their cause instead of helping it.
