GARROTT WINS A NOTABLE VICTORY Don't Fail to See the Great Photoplay "Injustice" ※ ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 4485 VOLUME 33 GARRO Don't F SUPREME COURT OF CALIFORNIA STANDS FOR REAL DEMOCRACY—GIVES FAR REACHING DECISION ON RESTRICTED TITLES TO PURCHASE OF PROP- ERTY. After a long and bitter fight against great odds, Officer H. L. Garrott wins a notable decision from highest court, which court rules that any citizen has a perfect right to buy land at will. We congratulate Mr. Garrott on the signal victory. For the first time in the history of the United States, the Appellate Division of a State Supreme Court has rendered a decision holding that individuals have no right to limit the selling or leasing of real estate against the Negro Race. The Supreme Court of Georgia and of South Carolina held that cities could not pass ordinances setting apart a portion of the city for the residences of colored people. The Supreme Court of the United States has passed upon that question and has held that cities being parts of the State, could not so segregate, but no Supreme Court, until the California Supreme Court thru its Appellate Division rendered a decision in TITLE GUARANTEE COMPANY vs. GARROTT, on the 10th of July, 1919, had gone the length of saying that private individuals could not limit or restrict alienation against Negroes, Japanese, Chinamen, etc. For this reason, the cast of the Title Guarantee Co. vs. H. L. Garrott, a Negro policeman, is of paramount interest to the colored people of the United States. The Title Guarantee Co., a multi-millionaire corporation of Los Angeles, subdivided the Angelus Park Tract and put a clause in the Deed to each Buyer, restricting the sale or lease to persons of African Chinese or Japanese descent. A purchaser having held one of these lots for six years, sold to H. L. Garrott, a colored police officer, whereupon the Title Co. immediately claimed a forfeiture and sought to have the property revert to it in an action filed in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County. Police Officer Garrott retained Willis O. Tyler, a race Attorney of Los Angeles, formerly of the Chicago Bar, and the claims of the Title Co. to a forfeiture were resisted upon the ground that the clause in the Deed restricting to the Buyer the right to sell or lease to persons of African, Chinese or Japanese descent, was a nullity. Police Officer Garrott, the defendant had judgment in the Superior Court, and the Title Co. appealed to the Supreme Court of the State of California, and this Court assigned the case for determination and decision to the 2nd Appellate Division on which is a branch of the Supreme Court. On the 10th of July, 1919, the Appellate Court affirmed the decision formerly rendered by Judge John W. Shenk of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, and held with the Trial Court that the clause in the Deed which forbade the selling or leasing to persons of color was a nullity. The effect of this decision is that neither private individuals nor subdividers of tracts in cities in the State of California can insert clauses against selling or leasing to Negroes which the courts will uphold. The case was decided upon common law grounds: The Courts held that the condition against leasing or selling to persons of African descent violated the Common Law Rule of which Section 711 of the Civil Code of California is declaratory. "Conditions restraining alienation when repugnant to the interest created, are void." The California Eagie "Where shall the dividing line be as a teacher she met with the same placed?" What omniscience shall tell success that crowned her every effus when the restraint passes from fort as a student. now large of now partial and multimesimal the restraint may be, the principles of natural right, the reasons of public policy, and that principle of the Common Law which forbids restraints upon the disposition of one's own property, are as effectually overthrown by the one as by the other. The difference is of degree, not principle." Officer Garrott for many years has been a police officer in the City of Los Angeles, and now resides with his wife and family upon the premises in question. He is brother to Dr. A. C. Garrott, leading dentist and race man. Attorney Tyler is a graduate of the Indiana State University of Harvard Law School, and formerly practiced in Chicago. Los Angeles Girl Weds in Kansas City. Miss Gertrude Lucrea Gotier, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. W. D. Hardemon of 169 E. 12th St. River-side, California, a recent graduate of Western University and Mr. Morris S. Brown, former Sgt. of U. S. A., were quietly married in Kansas City, Kas., June 16th. MRS. G. GOTIER-BROWN Miss Gotier was for several years a student at Western, and during her entire stay was among the highest in rank of scholarship. In 1918 her Senior year, she was voted by contest the most popular young lady in the Student Body. A man stands in the snow. MORRIS S. BROWN After winning the highest possible esteem of both students and faculty at Western, Miss Gotier went forth into the wprld to pave her own way—in her own way. She was a member of the Young School faculty at Independence, Mo., for 1919, where San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY, JULY 19, 1919 It was not given that such a charming personality should develop into a staid "School Mam." The same charms that bound the teachers and students of Western University to her, soon stole their way into the WESTERN UNIVERSITY heart of a young man, who felt that life for him without her by his sile would be a dull routine. Mr. Brown is the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Brown, one of the best known and most distinguished families of Independence. Immediately after their marriages, Mr. and Mrs. Brown left for Excellior Springs, where Mr. Brown and other members of his family are property owners. Here the happy couple spent their honeymoon and after July 1st-were at home to their friends at Independence, Mo. While Rev. and Mrs. Hardeman loath to lose their daughter they nevertheless feel that they gained a son who will add happiness to their present happy lives. WHY CONCERT WORK SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED. Nearly every music critic of any note has conceded that the colored people of the States especially, are top-moch above other peoples in this particular line. Recently a goody number of recitals and concerts of a very high order have been given in this city. We hope that our people will appreciate every effort along this line by attendance demonstration. Muscle not only charms and pleases, but adds to the development of the best that is in man. Bartlett Recital— The recent Pupil Recital by Prof. Elmer C. Bartlett, to say nothing about the superb playing by the pupils, introduced a new phase of artistic appreciation for aesthetic and harmonious decoration. The color scheme of Pink and White was so carefully blended, and so impressively carried out that the effect was felt to advantage by the sympathetic nervous system. The Johnson Recital— On last Tuesday evening Mr. Thomas L. Johnson appeared in recital at Blanchard Hall. Mr. Johnson has a voice of Baritone build, rich in tone, full of volume and melodious. His breathing is excellent and his stage manners places him in a class with the best artists of today. Miss Nell Johnson, sister of Mr. Johnson, who appeared with him is in a class of Soprano Singers not easily described. With little or no effort she is able to handle her voice, which is of wonderful range, with perfect control of the muscles, demonstrating almost careless ease. The Pacific Coast Club deserves high praise for presenting Mr. Johnson at this time. The Coming of Prof. Jackson— Prof. Robt. G. Jackson, long time dean of Music Department of Western University, will stage Los Angeles' next biggest musical event. He will use 150 voices in big Song Fest of or struggling Ward Chapel. The entire public will want to hear Prof. Jackson and his big chorus. NURSES Grand Opening—"INJUSTICE" Ray's Garden Theatre, 842 South Main St., Sunday, July 20, 1919; 12.30, 4.30, 6.30 and 8.30 P.

Miss Coles evidently noting my confusion smiled a more reassuring, "Yes, just have a chair, she is busy just now." I stood dazedly gazing, my eyes flying over everything, trying to grasp it all in at one glance. Such a wonderful place. I kept repeating offer and over to myself. So new and summery, so cool and refreshing, I wonder if they really do hair dressing in these beautiful little rooms? Thusly questioning and pondering, I was confined by Mrs. Williams herself and then it seems that something in her manner and smile brought a reassurance and my doubts took wings—surely, why should I doubt Mrs. Williams ability to accomplish what was before.

Stepping inside, one is conscious of the pervading sunniness of the place and searching for the cause since it was still morning and the sun's direct rays did not reach the place, one noted that there was something about the new, fresh, blue flowered draperies that hung in the passage of the hallway and closed in the display window; the light yellow walls with the white woodworks; the white chairs, tables and long mirrors; the light colored grass rug with its (Continued on Page Four) IS YOUR HAIR SHORT?

MANAGEMENT THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH 740 Maple Avenue Rey, H. D. Prowd, Pastor. In addition to our regular attendance many visitors were greeted at the Sunday School. The new scholars and friends received a hearty welcome. The Lesson on The Foundation of The Church, was helpfully discussed. The 11 o'clock service was marked with evidence of Divine approval noticeable in heart responses from the worshippers and the number that came forward at the close and joined the Church. The Junior Missionary Society met at the home of Sister Carter on E. 22nd St. and carried out a very helpful program. The pastor addressed them on the importance of helping others into the king-dom. The B. Y. P. U. had a delightful session, much to the encouragement of the President and his officers. At night our brother the Rev. Mr. Shipley gave us a very good discourse, at the close of which two souls joined the church. The pastor again calls attention to the various Clubs and urges increased effort in securing the weekly subscriptions in aid of the fund for our New Church. The Association is near at hand, let every member be ready with the Per Capita Tax. We must not lag behind this year. Every Baptist and the general public is hereby notified that Mrs. Leyton, President of the Woman's Convention of The National Baptist Convention of America will be here on Official visit and will lecture in our various cities and towns.

BETHEL CHURCH OF CHRIST— (Holliness) Hooper Ave. and East Adams St. Elder Wm. A. Washington, Pastor. The past Sunday was indeed a glorious day at Bethel. Sunday School was well attended and very active. At the morning service the pastor preached an excellent sermon: Text, Psalm 15—"Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?" He that walketh uprightly and worketh righteousness and speaketh the truth in his heart." The message was indeed helpful and searching; our hearts truly burned as the word fell as a two-edged sword, consuming all unrighteousness. Much exhortation was given for a closer walk with Jesus, and to unrobe ourselves of all unbecomingness as Christians and everything that is contrary to the word and spirit of the gospel; and to obey and keep his divine and most holy precepts. Without so doing we will not become citizens of his holy habitation. At 7 p. m. two precious souls were baptized. At 8 p. m. the pastic: preached another helpful message to a large and appreciative audience: Text, St. Luke 12:31-32. The Second Annual Convention of the Church of Christ, Holiness, in California is now in session at this church; will close Sunday, July 20, 1919. All are cordially invited to attend.

P. Greggs, Pastor. "And when He had said this, He breathed upon them and said, receive ye the holy ghost." This verse taken from St. John 22 was beautifully woven into a sermon by our able pastor. The Holy Ghost is merely reproduction. God reproducing himself through man. He only gives us as much spirit as we can use. Every gift is given for service and if you do not use it, your gift is taken away. The Holy Ghost to man is what steam is to the engine. The greatest achievement of a child of God is to receive the Holy Ghost and if he does not desire it, then God does not force it upon him. It's a free gift to all, good, bad, rich and poor. God gives to all alike, conditionally. He has given us this beautiful earth but how much of it we enjoy 577 CENTRAL AVE. PHONE MAIN 2138 C. H. ALSTON, Lawyer Real Estate and Investment Co.

At the Sunday School, five visitors and strangers were present and at the eleven o'clock service our pastor preached as never before, seeming, because the message that he brought to us seemed to touch the congregation as never before. The installation, services at three o'clock are long to be remembered at this church. Several churches from Los Angeles, Pasadena and Watts were represented and the churst of Friendship Baptist Church of Pasadena furnished music for the afternoon. Rev. C. B. Dones of Mt. Zion Baptist Church was master of ceremonies. Rev. Tillman preached the installation sermon. The solo sung by Sister Dent of Pasadena "Be True" was a sermon within itself, aside from the several other good numbers on the program. The collection of Twenty Dollars went to the Missionary Society of this Church. BIRCH ST. CHRISTIAN CHURCH—Corner 14th and Birch Sts. On the last Lord's day our service was fine.

Come let us reason together. 17 ADDRESS DELIVERED BY, REV. J. W. PRICE AT THE METH- ODIST CONFERENCE AT WATTS, CAL. "Religion and the League of Nations" The best foundation for the sub- ject assigned me that I can find is found in Isaiah 2:2:4—And it shall come to pass in the last days that the mountain of the Lord's House shall be established in the top of the mount- tain, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow into it. And many people shall go and say, come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people; and they shall beat their swords in plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: Nation shall not lit up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. After some two thousand, seven hundred and sixty years since Israel's wonderful prophecy, comes your president, Mr. Woodrow Wilson; and proposes to the civilized world for adoption a constitution for a League of Nations. I will proceed to give you a few extracts from his articles setting forth his idea of governing the world and ruling man; you may note the difference between Mr. Wilson's and the Prophet Isaiah's. Wilson says the high contracting parties recognize the principle, the maintenance of peace will require the reduction of national armaments to the lowest point consistent with national safety and the enforcement by common action of international obligations having special regard to the geographical situation and circumstances of each state; and the Executive Council shall formulate plans for making effective such reductions. 2nd. Any war or threat of war, whether immediately affecting any of the high contracting parties is hereby declared a matter of concern to the league and the high contracting parties reserve the right to take any action that may be deemed wise and effectual to safe guard the peace of nations. It may be seen a glance that the grounds upon which these two proposals for a League of Nations rest, are fundamentally different. The Powers base their League upon specific covenants between certain high contracting parties—Isaiah's League is based upon the Kingdom or the church of God, lifted so high in the faith and confidence of humanity, that it is established upon the top of the mountains, high above the authority, wisdom, and power of Paris, Rome, London, Washington and Tokio.—Man's League shall be composed of the high powers of the world through their representatives; Isaiah's League shall be composed of many peoples, all nations shall flow unto it, shall go and say—Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah to the house of the God of Jacob. The control of Wilson's League shall be vested in an Executive Council with power to deal with any matter for the peace of the world. In Isaiah's League it is God who will judge between the nations, will decide concerning peoples—Out of Zion shall go forth the law. In Mr Wilson's League. the Executive Council shall determine for the consideration of action of the several governments what military equipment and armament is fair and reasonable. In Isaiah's League—Out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem; the nations shall beat their swords into plowshares and spears into pruning hooks. The World Pogers' League provides that any war or threat of war, any disagreement between the high contracting parties, be adjusted by diplomacy or referred to the Executive Council. In Isaiah's League God will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths; nation shall not lift up the sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. The great burden of the prophecies, of Isaiah, as of all the prophets, was for national righteousness, for obedience to the law and commandments of Jehovah; Isaiah was at heart a religious teacher; "his message was a doctrine of faith. He applied this doctrine most clearly to the political conditions of his time; he believed that the really controlling forces in the world were spiritual, not material, divine, not human. In his view the cardinal sin of Israel was unbelief or pride. Historians declare that it was in connection with the political policy or Judah that Isaiah's doctrine of faith received its clearest expression. That policy was, when the country was in danger or oppressed, to seek aid from outside; as against this poll- cy, Isaiah pleaded for faith in Jehovah. Judah sought, time and again to form a league of nations. She either formed or tried to form a league with Assyria, and later with Egypt, and later still when an embassy came from Ethiopia to Jerusalem to join a league against Assyria—in the midst of earth's turmoil, and all political intriguing. Isaiah remained calm, with unruffled trust in God; for he had his assurance—in quietness and confidence—shall be your strength. The doctrine of Isaiah has its legitimate sequence and reaches its full climax in the teachings of Jesus Christ. The teachings of Jesus centers about the kingdom of God; Jesus taught that the only covenant of peace, the only league which can include and unite all nations and every kindred tongue and people, is the kingdom of God. In this, brotherhood is to be the bond of union, and love, the supreme law. In this, the high contracting parties are every nation and people, all of whom are united to God through faith, with love, in Christ Jesus—those who are thus united to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God, are a league not only of nations, but of humanity. They are the salt of the earth, and the light of the world. Again too, they are not united either to discipline, or punish by force any nation of people. They are to practice the doctrines and principles of the gospel of the son of God. You will notice very keenly from Mr. Wilson's league, Russia, Germany, Asia and Africa, and we might say Japan—more than one half of the world of humanity—are excluded as active participants. When Judah, as pointed out by Isaiah took to herself man made kings, and in fear or pride entered into alliances with other nations, forsaking her trust in Jehovah who had been her strength, her great ideal was corrupted and she became the tool of wicked and designing men within, or the prey of powerful foes from without. Let us not cry peace, peace, when there is no peace. The conferences of President Wilson and representatives of the Allied powers assembled in Paris, are only of permanent value as they recognize the principle of human brotherhood as contained in the doctrine of the kingdom of God. This is a decisive hour. And Isaiah teaches that the supreme mission of a nation may only be realized by being true to its ideals, uncontaminated by intermixture or alliance with that which is antagonistic or foreign. To do otherwise is to invite, though long deferred, national disaster. It follows then, that the United States of America can best serve the larger interests of humanity throughout the world by being true to her high mission and faithful to her great trust, to realize first, within her own National boundaries those pristine, political and social blessings, which, when firmly established, may become the common heritage of all mankind. The Thirteenth Annual Convention of the California State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs will convene in Bethel A. M. E. Church, Front, and Elm Streets, San Diego, July 29, through 31, 1919. The great world war for an unparalleled struggle for democracy is over and the reconstruction period at hand. Never in the history of our race has there been a greater opportunity for service than now, and upon every woman rests the responsibility for closer cooperation and coordination that she may be prepared to meet the problems which must confront the race during the period of reconstruction and readjustment. Every woman will be called to active service to do her bit, dear co-worker, unite as never before that we may confer and rejoice together when the struggle for democracy wins and brings permanent peace to all mankind.

WATSON Well, the most important issue confronting every member of the clubs comprising the Western Federation of Tennis Clubs is to be present at its call meeting at the Y. M. C. A. Monday evening, July 21st. Come loaded with all the Bank notes you can beg, borrow or steal too, as upon that date the Federation wishes to be ready to shell out three hundred "iron men" to Champion Ballinger Kemp for his trip to New York. No one needs to become the least bit excited about an over-subscription to the Western Federation of Tennis Club's tennis-players to-New York drive fund, as the coffers of the Federation are well adapted for such an emergency and the "club house fund" drive will be on after August 1st—Full speed ahead. The local "scribe" will receive the results by wire as rapidly as champion Ballinger Kemp disposes of his opponents in the national tournament. The ladies of the several local clubs should not feel peeved or slighted and refuse to give their much needed support to the Federation in the tennis-players-to-New York drive campaign simply because their sex is not represented, as its only means of success is through the co-operation of every club and to date sufficient funds to send one player East has not been raised. If anybody dreamed that the West Side Tennis Club is a dead one, just forget it kid, they're chucked full of "pop." Listen—on Friday, July 25th that club will hold a grand Mad-day shirt-sleeve Dance at Normandie Hall. The net receipts will be turned over to the tennis-players-to-New York drive fund. Prizes will be awarded to the best dressed couple, "Oh, you middles and shirt waists!" Speaking of outings—just watch that truck load of Alphaites and Alpha Partheniaites leave the courts Saturday 7.30 p.m. "Oh, you weiner-bake at Santa Monica!" And now the Omega Club comes forth next with something brand new,—an indoor circus, some stunt, eh? Watch for the date. A "Farewell Tango" for champion Ballinger Kemp as he makes his "hop off," wad-da-ya say, somebody? Get yourself all set early in September and keep your eye pelled for that "Alpha Ministrel, that's all!" Much costic criticism is being heaped upon the Federation for not diverting the use of the $300.00 to the club house fund instead of sending Kemp to N. Y. But have the critics forgotten that the New York movement is over six months old in the mind of the Easterner and the local public, while the club house affair is but two months old and that the Federation's reputation would rather seriously as a result? "Now, all hands heave to!" Under the leadership of President Wm. M. Dunn, the West Side Club will hold a tournament Labor Day, September 1st, and are planning an enormous fete at some unusual courts, where singles, doubles, and mixed doubles can be played off in one day. "Get your racket restrung!" Will some benevolent and accommodating person kindly assist Honorable Littlejohn McDuff to select a "mallet," that bird has been sparing for a raquet for three months. Mack ought to make a sparing the ball, he is used to swinging the old "night stick," you know. The July 4th tourney was a tremendous success, there being no hitch of any kind and as a result the Santa Monica Tennis Club will doubtless contribute heavily to the tennis players-to-New York drive fund. Some "popah" games, singles and doubles, were indulged in last Sunday at the West Side Courts by L. D. Miller; Wm. Dunn; Arthur Maloney; Roscoe Conklin, Brown and several other late "tennis slackers." Let's go out and clean 'em up next Sabbath. Q. My first service ball hit the top of the net and bounded over into the proper court. I called it net, am I right?—B. O. C. A. You are wrong. You should say "let." Q. What is the size and weight of an official tennis ball?—D. E. A. The ball shall not measure less than 2 9-16 ins. nor more than 2 10-16 ins. in diameter; and shall not weigh less than 2 ounces nor more than 2 1-16 ounces. Q. My opponent served a ball while I was not ready. I tried to return it but failed. Am I entitled to another service?—N. K. A. No, if you attempt to return the service you are deemed ready. Q. While I was standing near the base line my opponent's service was going out. I stopped it with my rack- BY JOHN A. GRAY It seems likely that we are to have an unusual amount of good music during the coming season. We are to have two Symphony Orchestras with three times the number of concerts as heretofore. This means that music lovers will have an opportunity of hearing the best music in larger quantities and at lower rates. This, from an educational standpoint, is a wonderful factor in the development of our young musicians. Parents should make an effort to take their children to hear good music as often as possible. The percentage of our people who attend Concerts, Recitals and Operas is far too small for the number who are studying music seriously in this city. One can count on his fingers the members of the race who are seen at such affairs. Let us make up and hear some of the good things that happen right at our doors. In no other way can we learn to appreciate all that is good in the art and to distinguish between the good and the bad. Pietro Mascagni, the great Italian composer, who is now in Italy, but who has been quite active in musical lines in America says, "I am looking forward with some amount of anxiety to the production of a great musical work in America in the near future. There will certainly, be produced soon a great American musical composition. I believe it will reflect the life of America. I feel that it will be built up out of the music of America; music which is so popular there. The strains which take the popular ear will repeat themselves in this new work I am expecting. It will be the expression of America in all her social, economic and artistic life, and will be another step and another contribution to the great musical productions. "It will symbolize America, just as Russian music symbolizes Russia, and Italian, Italy. "The music of the Negroes is so entrancing. I like to hear it so much. I think it too, will have its part in the musical achievements of America." Among new publications we note two compositions of R. Nathaniel Dett—"The Deserted Cabin" and "Mammy"—from the "Magnolia" suite arranged for Organ by Gordon Patch Novin. These are from the house of Clayton T. Summy. Schools and colleges are now employing music in the teaching of writing. The lively rythmic swing of certain tunes to the practice of free-hand permanship. Have you ever noticed how congregations in different parts of the country have their own peculiar way of singing well-known hymn tunes? In fact the older and more common the tune the more the variations. Such favorites as "Jesus Lover of my soul;" "Rock of Ages;" "Lead Kindly Light;" "Nearer, my God to the tree" and many others are seldom sung as they are written. The time values especially are distorted and twisted until the pulsations are scarcely recognizable. CERTIFICATE OF BUSINESS Fictitious Firm Name.

Prof. James Crozier Moore, who is easily numbered among our noted self-sacrificing editors has passed to the great beyond. Last Wednesday his family and friends in this city paid tribute to his memory, and lamented his passing, at Wesley Chapel. In his obituary Rev. McCorkle related as facts that Prof. Moore was born at Clinton, Tenn., January 23, 1860; that he was educated at Knoxville, Tenn.; that he founded the East Tenn. Industrial School, which finally consolidated with Livingston College of Salisbury, N. C., for which he has been solicitor for the past few years. Prof. Moore was married in 1890 to Miss Mollie C. H. Stoner, who was a tit companion for this born race leader and Educator. The passing of Prof. Moore is regretted not only by his relatives but by the many persons of this section who have the race at heart. REV. R. N. HOLT—THE DAVID OF BAPTIST DENOMINATION IN THE WEST. Last Sunday the members of St. Paul Baptist Church to the martial tread of "Onward Christian Soldiers," entered their new church home on Naomi Ave. Upon the platform were the noted Divines of the city who were profuse in their praise of Rev. Holt and his congregation. Dr. H. D. Prowd, Moderator of the Western Baptist Association admonished all Baptists of the city to help shoulder the responsibility assumed by Rev. Holt and St. Paul's members, for said he, the success of this undertaking means success for the denomination in this section and vice versa. Other ministers who spoke encouragingly were Drs. Shaw, Greggs, Beane, Lively; and that man known as the master executive, the Rev. R. H. Wade, was Master of Ceremonies. REALIZATION OF EFFORT. The realization of an effort is now at hand for the promoters and friends of the Democracy Film Co. When the movement was set on foot for the colored people to qualify along the line of the 5th industry of this country, the doubters shouted long "It can't be done," but for one time the workers would not stand to be thrown off the trail, they sacrificed, they toiled and on Sunday a realization of their efforts and sacrifices will be at hand. Capt. Leslie Peacocke, the great Scenario writer and Director, tells us that the picture is up to his highest expectation and now the public will have the opportunity of showing their appreciation to the utmost and those who could not buy stock can now help out by buying tickets. So after all, all of us can do something to help pull the bill. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` Save Your Money By Buying a Home! HERBERT E.

There is another suite of dressing rooms in which ladies feel free to shed unnecessary garments to their comfort. Back to the waiting room, while bidding adieu to Miss Cole, the other assistant of Mrs. Williams, I enquired after the much talked of opening on the Monday before. I learned that at the formal opening of the Parlors July 7th, over two hundred guests were filled with admiration over the beauties of Parlor and wonders of the Punch offered by Mrs. Williams. Still even at the departure I was filled with wonder that such a beautiful, unique and artistic parlor should have been so quickly established.

Davis, pastor of the 2nd Baptist Church of Monrovia, Cal., wishes to thank the many friends of Los Angeles who have so beautifully demonstrated their love for the cause of Christ to go out and help the good people' of Monrovia carry on their good work. The Church is moving upwards in a remarkable way. Many have been added to the numerical strength. Many more are coming. Rev. S. W. Brooks, pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church of Los Angeles, preached a soul stirring sermon on last Sunday afternoon. The Lord is truly blessing all in Monrovia spiritually, physically, and financially. SANTA MONICA AND VENICE (Miss Hazel Brown) Seems that the Negro has, is now, and will ever be, the cause of much discussion, much unrest and ever intolerable in Santa Monica as well as everywhere. The latest now is a reopening the wound of hurt feelings of property owners around and about the foot of Pico Blvd., where surf bathing is enjoyed by our people. Public Notice: "The public is invited to use the bathing ground which has been provided 300 feet south of Pico Blvd., Santa Monica, Cal.-Life Lime Provided." These notices adorned a telephone post, as well as cover the side walk just where Negroes go bathing. People wonder "Why the need of the N. A. C. P?" Does that simple little "Public Notice" answer the query? Democracy!! Why, yes, Santa Monica is overflowing with it—but— Now my advice to bathers: go 300 feet south from Pico Blvd., for surely you, form a goodly portion of the public and if bathing is dangerous that—why should you risk your lives? Santa Ana seems to have made a "rep" for lovers seeking to link their fate and little has ever been thought of Santa Monica as a honeymooning rendezvous. San Diego seems to be the ideal honeymooning spot, but recently and suddenly this little beach resort has loomed into prominence for didn't Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin McAdoo of Pasadena rushed to Fremont Hotel after a quiet wedding and wasn't The Rest-A-While honored by the presence of Mr. and Mrs. Emory Bowdin and Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Pruitt?

Miss Hebe Mack, a recent graduate to U. S. C., who has been the house guest of Miss Gladys Harriss in Pasadena returned to her home in this city Saturday. Many familiar faces were seen at the Musical, "Santa Monica Bay Woman's Club. Mr. Roland W. Hayes, the wonderful Negro. Tenor who is equal to the very best, was the feature of the evening.

THE CHAUTAUQUA CLOSES The Chautauqua, initiated by the Baptist Churches of Southern California, convened at Riverside from July 1 to 10, has proven a great success from many view points. It was the first meeting of its kind held by our people in the State of California, hence, as all great movements, it had many difficulties to encounter, but great wisdom was exercised in appointing the following committee to supervise the initiation and execution of this great project; some of the best men and women of the denomination noted for their ability to accomplish things for the denomination constituted the committee: Rev. G. G. Reed, Chairman; Rev. W. H. Tillman, Mrs. A. E. Fields; Mrs. E. O. Solomon; Capt. William Reynolds; Mrs. S. B. Strickland; Rev. H. D. Prowd, Hilbert Roder; Rev. R. N. Holt; C. Lampkins; E. Harts. We must acknowledge that the success of the Chautauqua is due to the incomitable spirit of Rev. G. W. Reed, the Chairman. The young people's convention cannot honor Rev. Reed as highly as he deserves for the success of this first religious educational meeting. The 1st of July will ever be known by the committee as inspiration day. The Park was crowded, young and old appeared to forget all care and accept the successful launching and running of the Chantaquua. Every obstacle seemed to have been dissipated and left for the committee and all sympathizers of the meeting clear sky under which to sail. We were sadly disappointed, however, by some of the numbers programmed, failing to appear; but Attorney W. O. Tyler came to our rescue and delivered the greatest patriotic and most practical address to which we have ever listened and thus saved the day. Mr. Tyler expressed surprise however, that the great leaders of our denomination, two of whom he named were not present to assist in the direction and supervision of an affair which meant so much for the religious, moral and economic uplife of the young Baptists of Southern California. At the evening session Mrs. Bass of The Eagle came to the committee's rescue and in a manner peculiar to herself, delivered an address that set the people's minds to thinking. The great facts brought out in her address have made lasting impression upon the memories of the people, both white and colored who heard her Long may her memory live in the hearts of all the people. Then Minnie Albritton with her beautiful and well trained lyrical voice stirred the hearts of the great congregation. Every lover of music has joined in the declaration that her singing was superb. The Beal family Orchestra, consisting of five pieces - Mr. and Mrs. Beal and three children - played to the delight of the congregation. Three of the members of this orchestra are musical freaks which are worthy of ```markdown ``` insure success not only in the Baptist Church, but in the world in general, was assigned to the scholarly pastor of the 2nd Baptist Church, Dr. H. D. Forwd. Saturday evening Dr W. H. Tillman presided, the tent was crowded to its capacity. Two hours were spent in listening to a musical and literary program, each number of which was a star production. Capt. Reynolds, our chorister, sang a solo which placed him in demand to such an extent that we had to come to his rescue, that he might be able to direct our music throughout the entire session.

On account of having been away from the city for the past 10 days of the month the Pasadena correspondent has not been in touch with events in Pasadena and will find more to say in next week's issue. Mr. and Mrs. Richardson who lived on Willard place have gone back to their old home in Chicago, having left last week. We were all sorry to see them go. The Choir of the Friendship Church are especially sorry to lose Mrs. Richardson. We predict their return this fall however. ed. Among those present to witness the proceedings were: T. A. Cole; A. H.

After all witnesses had testified, Judge Frederickson rendered a decision in favor of Mr. Reeves, stating that he was only discharging the duty of a good citizen. Attorney E. Burton Ceruti, assisted by Atty, Leroy D. Barnett, handled the case with marked skill. LOWER CALIFORNIA NEWS. Mr. J. N. Littlejohn, accompanied by Mrs. J. N. Littlejohn, Miss Fannie Gregory, 526 S. Oxford Avenue, Mrs Estelle Ross, 1114 E. 12th St., lett for Santa Clara in Mr. Littlejohn's Nash machine at 1 a. m. on Monday July 14th. The following translation of an official, statement-issued by Senior Manuel Aguirre Berlanga, on June 21, 1919, in Mexico City; copy of which statement was forwarded to the office of the Lower California Mexican Land and Development Company, 220-221 Lissner Building: Proposal of New Law. "The Ministry of the Interior has terminated a "Proposal of Law" which contains many beneficial innovations in respect to immigration; also a new system and regulations covering colonization and the activities of foreigners in Mexico, who come not only to enhance their own fortunes, but to contribute also to the prosperity of the country. Immigration and Wealth. Every man that is free from ideas that are exclusively mercenary or selfish and desires to help us with his experience, his knowledge and his personal energy, enlarging thereby the sphere of development of empiric labors in divers parts of our country, shall be protected by our liberal laws and have the generous support of the administration. The immigrants topic, which is intimately linked with the problems of labor has much in common with the development of our wealth. Following the indications of a modern spirit and the very latest world organization, the Constitution-alist Revolution primarily, and afterwards the Government, have had introduced in our national legislation the reforms which are conducive to occupy and hold the highest place in our social co-efficiency, with strength and arrange its distribution impartially with the elements of wealth. Statement by Atty. H. E. Macbeth. In commenting on this statement of the Mexican Minister of Interior, Hugh E. Macbeth, Attorney for Lower California Mexican Land and Development Company spoke as follows: "The prospects for those who would go into Mexico to become part and parcel of that great, though struggling Republic, are indeed bright. As is indicated in the statement of Minister of Interior, Manuel Aguirre Berlanga, Mexico desires immigrants who respect her country sufficiently to help build it up and live in the country. The Lower California movement has for its object the fulfilment in the peninsula of training. We did not hear a discordant note, but all was hormony—"Chautauqua salute" to the New Hope Glee Club. This Glee Club is composed of the young men of the St. Luke Bible Class of which Rev. G. W. Reed is the teacher. Mrs. Iola Strong of Riverside rendered three humorous readings. She imitated Negro and German characters. Miss Helen Baucom of Mt. Olivet, Los Angeles, acquitted herself very creditably in readings. The day closed financially successful. Sunday We begun the work with a Sunday School, over which Dr. Reed presided. Ralph Troy, superintendent of the Friendship Sunday School and Bro. Groves, ex-superintendent of the 2nd Baptist and Rev. Tillman were the teachers. The Lesson was canvassed by Rev. Wade. Remarks by Rev. G. W. Reed; then we entered into the morning service and there we listened to an eloquent sermon, delivered in his characteristic way, from the subject: "Christ our ideal Teacher," Matt. 11:29. We were both instructed and edified by this scholarly sermon. In the afternoon we reassembled and heard an interesting, logical sermon preached by our General Missionary, Rev. H. H. Wade. The preacher as usual had a great message for the congregation from the subject: "Christ our Fulness." Great interest was manifested from the beginning to the close of the delivery. In the morning the participants on the platform failing to appear, the time was spent in much needed rest from the arduous ladubs from our convention and the three opening days of our Chautauqua. Monday evening we had a concert by our Chorus, in which excellent music was rendered by the Chorus and solo work. After this Dr., W. H. Carter of Seattle delivered an address on "Union of our People and the Racces." We found that Dr. Carter was equal to the occasion in both sermon and address. Tuesday— Tuesday morning found us eager and anxious to enter into the scheduled program for the day. First, we were fayored with a lecture by Dr. G. W. Reed, subject "Prayer." Many valuable thoughts were brought out on this subject especially the following: What is prayer? First conversing with God; desire of the soul. To whom to pray? It was brought out in the lesson that it is blasphemy to pray. "O thou, eternal Spirit hear us," it is tinged with Catholocam; it equals "O thou blessed Virgin intercede for us." Prayer should be direct to the Father—"Ask what ye will of my father in my name." Attitude in prayer was discussed. Physical attitude of ho im- POOR ORIGINAL OFFICE LIFE BY IDELL ALBRITTON Comique and Tragique The Old Order Changeth! The rumble of the heavy trucks as they scream past; the rattling of myriads of Fords; the scooting of Foadsters; the ding, ding of the trolly car; the hurry-up, hurry-up, hurry-up of the machinery of the shoe maker below, long before other mortals turn their sleeping eye lids away from the dawning light of day. All this has broken the calmness of the atmosphere in that one, hard, relentless word—COMPETE. Compete! Great Capitalists have obeyed the demand. Slowness and larguidness have been over powered and replaced by swiftness and ruthlessness. The pink cheeks and hopefulness of the youth of the poor has been replaced by pallor, despair and crime. Still have their hands flown while their hearts and feet acched at that terrible word—COMPETE. Compete! Compete!! Compete!! The Old Eagle stops, and listens, catches the refrain. Now the old friendly chat, merry making and languid air of the shop has received a blow. Exactness is taking its place "From eight until five-thirty are the hours, close up" demanded the Managing Editor Tuesday evening at six o'clock. The Society Editor having strolled in that morning at quarter past nine, felt the sting implied and recoiled. Wednesday morning she was on the job before eight o'clock. There was a particularly business-like tread to her step. Somewhat nervously she announced to the Managing Editor her new terms." "From henceforth my hours are from eight until five with an hour off for lunch and a half day Saturday." Then to the Lyno operator, Head printer and Printer's Devil she went to see if their support in the new regulations were forth coming. The Lyno Operator looked hopefully up but then instantaneously came the old look of doubt and pessimism. "Who said so?" he gruffly demanded. "I say so!" finalized the Society editor "Oh!" and the Lyno Operator had no more to say. The Society Editor did not despair however, she appealed to the Head Printer, her "reasonable" friend and met with the encouraging "I am with you!" She gave a "useless" glance at the Printer's Devil and with a set chin turned away. All day long the Society Editor was exact. In the shop circus she took no part. Even the antics of the Clown, the Printer's Devil, aroused no merriment in her. The Managing Editor sought her with a plea of illness, but her short reply, was "This is a new order of things. I am not supposed to be sympathetic." So, for the first time under the strain of the new era, the Society Editor has denied anything in her power to the Managing Editor. The closing hour passed before the Society Editor realized it. At six o'clock however, she pushed buck her chair and walked out. Heartlessly she denied the invitation to join the staff in a family game of Croquet at the home of the Head Printer and was off. Do you wonder at the suddge change in the once jovial Editor, once filled with sunshine and song from mern until eve? Do you wonder when I tell you that oftimes may she be seen lurking around the Labor Temple at Maple and Fifth Sts. The strikes now sweeping from the East to the West meet with her most enthusiastic approval. A great interest has she taken in Bolshevism. The curiosity of the Managing Editor was aroused the other day when she saw the Society Editor take up a brush, dip it in the Red Ink and begin to paint her face. Gathering no satisfaction from this entirely new phase of the Society Editor's action she despairingly gave up after a lengthy expounding of her opine of girls that paint their faces. But the Society Editor having decided to become a Red thought that, outward and inward relations ought to have some relations. Under the stress of competition there is hardly time for living; so it is that these columns may be designated henceforth as "Shop Whirr."

It is the work of God's free grace, whereby we are finally renewed in the whole man, after the image of God, and are enabled more and more to die into sin and live unto righteousness. It consists essentially in two things: (a). A growth of the principles of life implanted in regeneration and thereby transforming a man to the image of Christ; (b). Destruction of the evil choices and habits of the soul, which are prevalent in the life. It is more advanced in some than in others. This is the sensible view of sanctification. It conforms to the Bible experience. All good men in whom the spirit of God has dwelt and on whom it dwells now were and are tempted wage a warfare against sin and evil, yet they continually strive for higher character.
