Wilson, presiding, Greetings: To the Officers and Members of the First A. M. E. Church: We as a Board of Stewards, would like to make a few remarks in regards to our presiding Elder and the work that he has done for the past four years. We are not able to relate all the good works that he has done and performed, but allow us to say that we are highly pleased with him in every respect. We feel that the Church is in a splendid condition at the present, and we are satisfied that it has been largely through the wonderful efforts our presiding Elder has put forth. He has not left a stone unturned since he has been on the District, and we feel that he has been a wonderful inspiration towards the uplift of the Church. He it resolved, That if it is the wish of our Presiding Bishop, the Right Reverend H. B. Parks, D. D., at the coming Annual Conference, to see fit in his Godly wisdom that our Presiding Elder, Req. J. H. Wilson, he returned to us, that he may REV. J. LOGAN CRAW The successful and progressive pastor of Historic 8th. and Towne Avenue, First A. M. E. Church, who is closing a brilliant 4 years' administration and who is a logical and meritious candidate for Delegate to the General Conference at St. Louis, Mo. May 1920. take care of the Church in the future as he has in the past. Respectfully, CHARLES MARTINEZ, Vice- President G. M. WARNER, Treas. H. F. POSEY H. M. HEARD FRANK WILLIAMS EDWARD CARRINGTON S. S. TAFT WILLIAM COMER A. W. WILSON, Secretary, 791 F. 18th St., Los Angeles, Cal. REV. J. LOGAN CRAW, Pastor. July 8. 1919 Presiding Elder, Rev. J. H. Wilson, Presiding Greetings: We would like to say to this Conference a few words in behalf of our pastor, Reverend J. Logan Craw, and to make a few statements of the wonderful work that he has done while he has been with us during the past four years. We feel that his coming to us has been an uplift, not only to the Church, put to the whole Community. We are unable to mention all the wonderful things that he has accomplished but please allow us to state a few of his accomplishments in brief. He came to us four years ago and found us heavily in debt, and today, we are proud to say that every debt has been completely wiped out, the membership has been wonderfully increased, and we are certain that the spiritual side of the Church is great alive. --- LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 1919 THE OLDEST LARGEST AND LOS ANGELES, ip of M to the We are confident that our Reverend Craw has brought the Church to where it is today. We feel that he has not left a stone unturned in pursuit of performing his duty. He has kept up an interest in every department of the Church, both spiritually and financially. We could enumerate countless works that he has done during his pastorship, and we can look back upon his career in our pulst, and say that truly God has blessed us by giving us this pastor, Leader, and Teacher. Not only have we been blessed with a wonderful pastor, but his dear wife, has done wonderful and commendable work that it would be impossible to speak of the progress of The Church without mentioning her name. Her life amongst the Young People, lifting them up to a higher standard, has truly been a great life. Many are the wonderful things that she has done to hold the Young People together and bring them to service in The House of The Lord. Be It Resolved, That if it is the wish and pleasure of our Beloved Bishop, The Right Reverend H. B. Parks, D. D., presiding Bishop of the Fifth Episcopal District, that he return to us for another year our dear pastor, Revered J. Logan Craw. That he has been careful in the past four years in looking after every department of the Church, and we feel satisfied that if it is the Godly judgment of the Bishop to return him to us, that the Church would be cared for in the future as it has been in the past. Therefore, it is our wish and desire that our pastor be returned to us if it is in the Godly wisdom of our Bishop and Presiding Elder. We ask through this Quarterly Conference, that this letter be put on the Minutes, a copy be retained by the Board of Stewards, and a copy be mailed to the Bishop. CHARLES MARTINEZ, Vice President G. M. WARNFR, Treas. H. F. POSEY M. H. HEARD FRANK WILLIAMS EDWARD CARRINGTON S. S. TAFT WILLIAM COMER A. W. WILSON, Secretary, 791 F. 18th St., Los Angeles, Cal ON A VISIT TO NEW ORLEANS (By Vertner Lewis Gordon) 1 Along The Route. When we left Los Angeles on a sunny afternoon, Thursday June 5th, 1919, there were only four Colored passengers including my own little boy and self. The others were two young men, both of them kind, polite and, indeed gentlemanly. Walter Jr. soon made friends with them and were great companions the entire way. Opposite me were an elderly couple—they boarded the train at Ontario having been on a visit to their daughter. I was interested in them from the start, first, because the old gentleman was ill, second because I, myself, was going to visit my father and mother whom I had not seen for thirteen and one half years. My little son had not seen his grand-parents nor his great-grand-parents—then thero were aunts and uncles, too, so naturally, we were in a friendly attitude and full of joyous anticipations. This elderly couple were friendly from the very start. They depended upon us for the time, schedule, and for Walter's getting the old gentleman water. They were on their way to Bowie Arizona so after traveling all night and all of the next day they left us in the dull of the night each of us sorry to part such congenial company. Our train was even then eight or nine hours late having been detained at Niland California all, at the first night on account of a wreck --- Everything went smoothly and merrily on until for the first time in so many years my eyes fell upon the obnoxious sign: "FOR NEGROES ONLY" It really sent a shock thru me. This at first might seem ridiculous to some of you who'll perhaps read this article but one cannot imagine the effect that these sudden thrusts of prejudice have upon you when you have once been away from it for even a short length of time but I had been out of this sort of thing for nearly fourteen years. Why, yes, we have the terrible monster, PREJUDICE, here. It is also true that we feel it here to a considerable extent but it is certainly not advertised here as it is there. On Rampart Street in New Orleans, a street that is stronged with Negroes day and all night too, for that matter, for a distance of some six or seven miles — Negroes everywhere you look——to my diggish I saw a great big sign—NO NEGRO PATRONAGE SOLICITED. Then, too, when I left New Orleans the relationship had always been amicable between the two races, they were not then, or now even running for shelter from the mob. They lived side by side just as they are doing now in just as nice and pleasant homes as the white people do. It must be remembered too, that the Jim Crow Cars have only been in operation in New Orleans for the past 15 years. They have not always been there and it was not the white people of New Orleans who started it. But they did accept it with enthusiasm when the hill demanding Jim Crow Cars was presented to a man who lived in red River Parish to the Louisiana Legislature and passed without a dissenting vote. How well I remember that not one word of protest came from the Colored people of New Orleans. Our supposed leaders were silent just as a whole lot of them are now. Roscoe Conkling Simmons certainly did not fail to tell that vast throng of people in the Pythian Temple just what he and every other principled black man in America thinks about those parasitic hat-in-hand Negroes who seek to sell their people in every issue the confronts them. They sat all about him on the platform facing that great sea of faces. Surely their very souls must have cringed. But New Orleans has its fearless champions too, some of whom I shall tell you later. At this same little station where this first sign ruffled my feelings so there suddenly rolled up a splendid looking touring car loaded with prosperous looking Colored folk. They were the best looking aggregation at the depot. They looked happy and contented and it was just this way along the entire route. Whether on foot astride a horse or mule or in an auto car they did look the part of good citizens. The ragged, unkempt Colored person was not at all in evidence. The fact emphasized in my mind was that in spite of all the bestments of the Southern Colored man they had made and are still making unmistakable progress and that Southern Colored People Do Know How To Live. At El Paso Texas there is a, very large, well arranged Station. Our people have a small but very comfortable section of this building, in the rear. One could not but notice the two neatly uniformed-Colored maids in attendance smiling and pleasant to the traveler ready to be of assistance. It really sent a feeling charged with pride through me as I watched them moving in and out among the crowd with so much ease and grace and seemingly a feeling of human understanding for some distracted traveller. There were two other such ladies of Bonnette. One was a Mrs. Leighing who has steadily been in the employ of the Company for 15 years. I learned from other parties that she was a favorite among the employees and her services highly valued by the company. But here again I was shown how the South feels toward the Negro: I walked across the street to a fruit stand conducted by a Greek. He proceeded to wait upon me when just about thru a white woman walked up. He deliberately lay my bag down and went over inquiring what she wanted—then it was my time to deliberately walk away and I did so. He yelled to me: You No Wantta? I ignored his call and went back into the station feeling as the I wanted to burst, and that we were in a hostile land. We were now well into the South where Colored faces were as numerous as white ones. True to Southern style and that warm hearted friendliness they were quick to single out the stranger and then engage him in friendly conversation at the same time finding out where you are from, where you are going and as much about you as you wish to tell them. There was not one person with whom I talked that afternoon who did not express a desire to leave the South and that is the prevailing spirit over the entire South—and they are leaving. It is not simply a case of wishing and resolutely out GOING! Yes going hither and thither seeking homes where they will have protection of the law; going where they may breathe freely; going where their own precious girls might escape the fate of living a life of shame as the concubine of some white man. The South is full of this and you who have ever lived in the South know that it is not only true in the smaller towns and out of way country places but the larger cities have their share of this degradation also. As you travel thru Texas and Louisiana it is a known fact that these brutes will gather at those little stations directly under the windows of the Colored coach deliberately trying to attract the attention of our Colored women. Nobody told me this—I saw it with my own eyes. Our porter on this division was not too pleasant. It was enough to be set aside like loathemes cattle without having occasionally a sarcastic remark from him whenever any one asked any little favor of him. The others had all been so very accommodating, pleasant and intelligent. Half of this car was smoker and the entire coach had been freshly painted thus giving off an unpleasant odor. There were cuspidors everywhere. I inquired of this porter why so many cuspidors. He replied that if those cuspidors were not there that those Colored folk would spit all over the aisles, windows, seats and him, too; but there was not but one person who needed them at all—an elderly woman. This party was chewing something and every now and then would spit out of the window their breeze would carry it into the faces of the persons sitting behind her. They complained to her, whereupon she apologized spitting all of whatever it was into the cuspidor. She was evidently very much embarrassed and when she left the train she again begged the person's pardon and in her own way hade each of us a safe journey. We now had a few of Uncle Sam's black boys among us—a robust-looking bunch they were. After they were on board our porter's bustling aggressive manner became one of peace and quiet—we had no more trouble. One of our soldier boys was from the twenty-fourth infantry on his way home to visit parents in South Carolina. He had seen fifteen years' of service in the army and was on fur-lough for three months. Most of the boys had seen service in most of the important engagements of the recent war but each one was glad to get out of it all and to get that uniform off. A few of them were returning South to see the old folk they had left behind and relatives, but with the firm intention of getting out of it as soon as this duty had been performed. Those boys who had had scarcely any chance in life and from whom you would expect no serious depth of thought recognized the injustices heaped upon us and that they had felt it even more than others. They were candidly resemely and in the very knowing that they are a part of this American Commonwealth having fought, bled and yes, died, shouldering their part in making the world safe for democracy they have taken on new thoughts and a new spirit. It is this same fearless courage and new manhood that shall protect our homes, our women, and bar the way of the professional lyncher. The encouraging thing about these young men is the fact that, to quote one of them, "I want to be somebody." I shall not be surprised to find some of these same young men here in California seeking her wonderful storehouses of learning. When traveling over the Southern Pacific there is no real natural beauty of scenery until you are nearing Louisiana. Then it is that the small streams hugging mother earth, the bays and the canals where hundreds of mud turtles stick their funny heads out of the water, and the hyacinths growing in great clusters catch your eye. The clear waters of the Lake Charles seem to greet you when you enter Louisiana. As you cross the small streams and bayous where catte sometimes stand in a surprising depth of water; then again children wading knee-deep and over which great trees head under their load of southern moss you cannot help wishing to tarry there just long enough to get into it yourself. It is so cool; and then the swamp land here and there, sometimes almost in the inhabitants very doors. But the swamp lands bring thoughts of mosquitoes and malaria and then—of how many of our very own black men have been hunted down in those same swamps like dogs and hunted by the yelping hound dogs who when they have scented their prey, innocent prey nearly all the time, send up a fearful howl all in unison; and you can see how these same dogs proceed to tear the victim's flesh until he has been rescued by vicious creatures who shall not only tear his flesh but mutilate it in even worse ways.—Swamp lands bring ugly thoughts.

The Association adopted a program for 1920 by which the entire debt of the Home shall be litted. A resolution was passed on the last day providing for a Pacific Slope Baptist Convention. This Convention is supposed to take in at least the following five States: California, Arizona, Oregon, Washington and Montana. The following delegates and substitutes were elected to the Convention which is to convene January 10; 1920 at Seattle, Washington: Reva, R. N. Holt, D. D.; G. W. Reed; H. D. Prowd, D. D.; W. H.

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP—NO MAN DOWN. is to unify and concentrate the Color- ed Baptists forces of the West to establish a Baptist Seminary for the training of Christian Workers and to locate a Baptist Publishing House on this side of the Rockies.

THE WOMEN'S MITE MISSIONARY SOCIETY OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH, 6TH AND TOWNE AVENUE, THIS CITY WITH REV. J. LOGAN CRAW, PASTOR AND MRS. LILLIAN J. CRAW, PRESS DENT. Among the various Auxiliaries of the Church the Mite Missionary Society stands out as an example of unity. Verifying David's words in the One Hundred and Thirty-third Psalm, which says: "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for Brethren to dwell together in unity. And this is versed in the Generic sense for in the four years only two men have had the privilege as well as the honor of meeting with us. We will pot speak of the first year our President took up the work. We will let it be a matter of History, a year of reconstruction. One can liken it to a tangled thread, which was to be untangled by someone. But God was in the plan, and after four years of earnest work we can joyfully sing: "What troubles have we seen, what conflicts have we past. Fightings without and fears within since we assembled last. But out of all the Lord hath brought us love and still He doth our help afford, and hides our lives above." / This Society has proven a source of inspiration and friendliness and also instructing the members along business lines which we all should know. We are proud to have as our President one who is truly called to lead, and inspire others in her leading, for if one would have active and ready followers, he or she must have the spirit of leadership. During the four years this Society has been free from that custom so common among our people in their gatherings, and that is gossip; but everyone who has visited us has found it a meeting of business where the members bring in reports of visiting the sick, caring for the needy, cheering the lonely; which shows that each and everyone carries out the true spirit of missions. Many of us have become acquainted with the laws of our church along missionary lines. The literary ability of our members has also been manifested for many have been made to appear on the stage who thought at first it was impossible for them to appear before an audience. But having a president who does things naturally would make the timid one think she can and that successfully. One of the most brilliant and successful Ranquets ever given in the city was given under the caption of this Society, engineered by our own president. This Ranquet was tried by others but was not successful financially; the results have been far beyond comprehension. I am unable to give the figures, but every member known many hundreds of dollars have passed through this Society and only one Heavenly Father knows how many aching hearts have been caused, and many a hungry person has eaten some of the fruits of our labor, and we know that God is pleased that he has crowned our every effort with success. By the wise council of our pastor and wife for so always many with us and for so always many with us ```markdown ``` MARY MAY President of the Madam C. J.

The services last Sunday were very inspiring and helpful; Sunday School was interesting and had a profitable session. At the morning hour, the Rev. C. P. Jones of Christ Tarnacle preached a wonderful sermon; Text: Lamentation 3:1-2. The theme of his discourse was "Christ the Man of Affliction. This scholarly man of God unfolded the deep wisdom and knowledge of God in a marvelous manner. The Holy Spirit was present and all was made to rejoice. At 8 p. m. we were blessed with another helpful and inspired message from Evangelist I. W. Roman from Jackson, Miss.: Text. Eph. 2:1-8. In spite of the carless service, we were blessed with a good congregation. Don't let the devil stop you from coming to God's house to hear and be blessed by these divine messages. Because he has a monoply on the cars, but come regardless of such and help push the righteous cause; for righteousness shall cover the earth as the waters cover the deep. Don't fail to hear the messages for they are manna for your souls. Excellent music by the Choir that is always pleasing. Next week's services as usual. All are invited to all services. PFOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH O FCHRIST Cor 15th and Palme St. "If any man among you seem to be religious and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is in vain." James 1:26 This text was used by the pastor at the morning service last Sunday. One of the greatest gifts that God gave to Humanity is Language. It is the only medium of communication. Without this gift of speech it would be impossible to praise God. We should be careful how we use this great gift because the impressions that our expressions make speak for themselves. A man's word indicates the depth of his own soul. If he is filthy within, his words will protray his heart; and strange to say, but true, he judges everyone by his own deceitful filthy heart. To the pure all things are pure, to the holy all things are holy. We judge others by our lives and when we express ourselves we have told our own story. Everything is true to nature except man. He is the only deceitful creature God made. We would have Heaven on earth if Christians spoke kindly one of another as God implores them, instead of judging each other; forgetful of the fact, as they judge so shall they be judged. We boast much of religion and yet never bridle our tongues. If we would stop to think of the civil expressions we make about others and remember that some day we must answer for these same thoughtless words in Judgment, we would quake within with fear. In laying the foundation for our Christian life, let us truthfully, carefully, and prayerfully build on a firm basis. Let this be our motto through life, "Take our tongues and let them be, consecrated Lord to thee." In the afternoon the Missionary Society held services. The speaker of the occasion was Rev. Anderson. His message was very inspiring to all present. In the evening, Miss Haillie Q. Brown, noted, Elocutionist, spoke from Exodus 4:22; "And the Lord said unfo Moses, what is that in thine hand?" And he said a rod. This message was beautifully illustrated and the words were filled with power as they came from her lips. Two accessions were recorded for the day. Collection $176.78. THIS A. M.

Monday, September 1st, Labor Day, this church is giving a truck trip picnic to Monrovia Canyon; the round trip is $1.00, children 50c., leaving from the corner of Central Avenue and 12th Sts., at 8.30 o'clock a.m. Persons desiring to go are cordially invited and welcome to take the trip with us. Last year we had a most excellent time and enjoyable day, and we hope for the same this trip. The work of the new church is in fine progress and in the next few weeks we expect to have the roof on, following which completion will be in sight and looked forward to. Our services are always helpful, and visitors are always welcome. We desire also that all former Zionites from other cities look in upon us. We too know of Zion in the East where priority is the order of the day. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES- Cor. 36th and Towne Avenue Rev. J. Logan Craw, Pastor. Miss Hallie Q. Brown of Wilberforce, Ohio, in her cultured, forcible and unsurpassable manner addressed the morning congregation the past Lord's Day on the subject: "Character Building." The address was a masterpiece of truth, genius, and spiritual and moral edification. At the close of her matchless address the pastor extended the invitation for "Builders in the faith of Christ," and four souls united with the church. A splendid after offering was given this great woman for whom we will ever pray to live long and bless humanity forever more with such uplifting and truly ennobling messages as she delivered so impressively and acceptably on this never-to-be-forgotten occasion. Mrs. Pearl Lowery-Winters of Bakersfield, California, rendered a beautiful sacred solo while both of our Choirs sang melodiously and sweetly. President, Rey F. Jesse Peck of Western University, Rev C. N. Eliott from Austin, Texas; and Mr. Emory B. Smith, S. T. B., LL. B., Special Traveling Representative of Howard University, Washington, D. C., were distinguished visitors. The "Gleanings" were good and a helpful Holy Day enjoyed by all. "Bishop's Sunday" this last Sunday in August. At 11 a. m. the Rt. Rev. H. Blanton Parks, D.

The California Eagle, New Age and Citizens Committee can really and truly feel that they have rendered a worthy service; when this tion on last Monday successfully conducted the "WELCOME HOME" for the returned soldiers. All day long the soldiers and citizens wended their way to Rose Hill Park to take part in the festivities of the day. The far famed Black and Tan Band furnished the music for the occasion. Barbecued meats, soft drinks, water melons, ice cream, etc., were on hand in profusion. Rev. A. P. Shaw Ornament of The Day The Program was the big feature of the day's enjoyment, with the Hon. Fred M. Roberts as the master of ceremonies, every detail was carried out in a most happy manner. Short addresses were made by Chapman W. E. B. Gfadden of the U. S. Army, Capt. Leslie Peacocke, author of "Injustice" and Mrs. J. B. Bass. Then for one hour the Rev. A. P. Shaw with matchless eloquence held his hearers spell bound in one of the greatest speeches which we have ever heard, his words encaptured the heroes from over the seas and truly they felt as never before the mighty welcome home and the estimation of the home folk of their great service. Time and again was the speaker interrupted with demonstrations of approval. It was indeed a memorable address and at its conclusion he was the recipient of the most hearty congratulations. The soldiers occupied places on the platform and each one was introduced to the audience and favored the same with the regulation salute. At the conclusion of these exercises the sporting editor of the Eagle Mr. W. Bynum put on the ball game, between the overseas men and the sailor team; it was an exciting contest and was won by the boys from overseas by the score of 6 to 4. Various prizes were given for the different events in the pavilion and quite a lively and shappy contest was indulged in. Despite the fact that the street car situation kept away hundreds who desired to attend, it was one glorious day which the Soldiers and Sailors as well as the Citizens appreciated to the utmost. DAY NURSERY ANNOUNCES COMING OF ROSCOE CONKLING SUMMONS. The Women's Day Nursery of this City announce in this issue the coming of the Honorable Roscoe Conkling Simmons who will lecture here on the evening of September 24th at the Trinity Auditorium. The mere announcement that Mr. Simmons will speak will be suffice to cause standing room go to a premium anywhere in this country. But when it is realized that to his already prodigious repertoire, that he has been to the trenches in Europe and at the Peace table at Versailles, the message that he brings will inspire to the utmost. There is no question but that Trinity Auditorium will be taxed to it's utmost capacity to accommodate the people who will want to bear him. He comes to assist this Organization in the great work which it is doing in this section. Aside from the date in this city, Mr. Simmons is donating his service absolutely for the Nursery at Pasadena on the following evening on September the 25th. The West Side Tennis Tournament will be held on Labor Day at 2834 Stephenson Avenue at 10:00 o'clock PHILLIP'S CHAPEL C. M. E. CHURCH—1406 Newton St. Rev. J. C. Anderson, Pastor Sunday was quarterly meeting at this church. The Presiding Elder preached at the morning service. A praise meeting was held at the evening hour. The Lord's Supper was administered at both services. There were two additions to the membership at the morning service. This church continues to grow in popularity and membership. There are only three more Sundays in this Conference year. The pastor and officers are busy winding up the work for this year. Conference Claims are now due and the members are urged to pay these claims in as soon as possible. The pastor will preach at both services on the coming sabbath. Come where a welcome awaits you and where the old time fire is burning. TRINITY BAPSTIST CHURCH Normandie Ave. and West 36th St. Rev. Archie J. Williams, Pastor We had a great time last Sunday all day. All the services were well attended. The pastor spoke at the morning service from the subject: "Christ as a Friend;" at the evening service, "Every man will have to give an ac- count of himself to God." Next Sunday morning Rev. R. H. Wade, General Missionary for the Western Baptist Association will preach. We are expecting to have a great time at the Ground Breaking services at 3 o'clock. All the churches are expected to take part in these services. Rev. John Eldridge will preach at the evening service. All welcome. MACEDONIA BAPSTEST CHURCH— Watts, California Rev. J. A. Fleming, Pastor. Our S. S. lesson for August 24th was "Social Responsibility" which taught us as opportunity presents itself to do good toward all men. As Luke 10:27 "Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart," etc. which is the first duty of man and "Love thy neighbor as thyself" same verse, is man's second duty which means unselfish love and service to our fellowmen. At the 11 o'clock service Rev. Chas. Doyes preached to us from Matt. 5:14, "Ye are the light of the world." This was a truly wonderful and inspiring message as brought to us by this young man. He said in part that like the sun gives light to the world, even when it is cloudy, we 1. The image contains a black background with a white border. 2.

Price and the good people of Ward Chapel, and on Wednesday evening this splendid rendition on account of the continued non service of street cars failed to receive that attendance which it deserved. However, it was one of the greatest musical, aggregations which has ever been staged here and all who took part in the same are indeed to be complimented for their service, and Prof. Bynum for his great preparatory work as well as the only Prof. R. G. Jackson who reigns supreme as a director of National reputation and a man who is always ready to give his service and effort for the things which mean progress. "WILKINS SCORES HIT WITH RECITAL." Its the same old story, whenever the unimitable Prof. Wm. T. Wilkins sallies forth with a demonstration as to his accomplishments along the line of musical effort, he scores, and in no uncertain manner demonstrates that his whole being, his soul; is in his work. This he brings forth for the delectation and encouragement of the people who appreciate real service. Therefore on last Tuesday evening at the Independent Church, in recital with his students, he showed the wonderful progresss, and demonstrated the same to the utmost. The writer of this note cannot qualify as a musical critic, but we appreciate the same to a high degree, and have no time to listen to those who hold lightly the efforts of Mr. Wilkins, his work speaks for itself, he has won his spurs and a place in the hearts of the people: He cannot help but succeed in his ambition in the music realmn. Wherever he may go he will always have the ears of the people. The recital was indeed a magnificent success. FOR VIOLET H The guaranteed cure for Dandru grow on the temples.

Sunday, August 17th was a day long to be remembered by the pastor and members of this church. After enjoying a soul-stirring sermon preached by the pastor during the 11 o'clock services, the young preachers of our church and the deacons presented the pastor with a $60.00 suit of clothes. The church was preparing for the Western Baptist Association which met in their regular Annual meeting with our Church from the 18th-24th. All committees were highly praised by the delegates and pastor for their interesting efforts to make the whole affair one grand success. Not a delegate was left without a home and all delegates expressed themselves as being entertained better at this church than they had been for years. Despite the fact that there was no car service after 8 o'clock in the evenings, the church was filled to capacity each night and day. On Sunday, August 24th, we enjoyed several wonderful sermons. In the morning a message was delivered by Rev. Johnson, one of the young preacher from our Church who has a charge in Imperial Valley. Rev. Brooks of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church broke to us the bread of Life in the afternoon and evening service. Sunday School will open at 9.30 a. m. next Sunday morning.

C. A. SPEAR.....Managing Editor J. B. BASS.....Editor Our editorial in last issue headed "Be what you are" created a deal of comment and we trust it has set some of our people thinking; if it accomplishes this one thing we are surely gratified at the result. The strikers are now asking for the Government Control of the Pacific Electric, but the people who pay the bills have just about as much of the Government Control of the railroad business as they can stand, and they will most strenuously object. Let's see! Our president sent a battleship and destroyers to Mexico years ago, to compel Huerta to salute the flag, but he would not do it; later he sent the Army to capture Villa, but they failed; and now they have gone across to hunt the bandits. Will they get them?—Answer. We are indeed glad to have in our midst the Rev. F. Jesse Peck, president of the great Western University. We learn from our touch in the center of effort that he is making good with a vim and his many California friends are elated to know of his great success. We hear that it is proposed to postpone the meeting of the Lincoln League in Chicago, which was scheduled for September 15th. This being so, the Eagle would suggest that no better date for the meeting of this great movement than on Lincoln's Birthday—February 12, 1920, and make it one glorious gathering for all the people of this country. The press boys will always have a warm spot in their heart for Rev. A. P. Shaw for the part he played in their effort for real service in the Welcome Home exercises on last Monday. We shall never forget the fact that without any persuasion or reward he came forward at our request and not only served the press but the returned Soldiers and people, as well. Shaw is a great big man who has long since demonstrated that he is equal to all emergencies. He is a man after our own heart. We are told that the transfer of the lands in the Santa Clara Valley will be made a gala occasion; that it will be the advent of a new day, when this people will really and truly touch the main spring of production; if so let's make it a good one and on the occasion of Mr. Simmon's visit no better time could be arranged for this great occasion, and invite the people in large numbers to the border to witness this memorable event. THE PROGRESSIVE BUSINESS LEAGUE. Under the guidance of president H. A. Reeves and secretary M. G. Stokes, the Progressive Business League is making a commendable progress and it is measuring up to a high standard. We appreciate the fact that Mr. Reeves is giving of his experience in a successful business the best that is in him to make a like success of this organization and all who appreciate business growth for the race should rally to the support of the League We have a communication from the well-known poet, Wm. Mann Ricks, commending our announced policy of turning on the light, which we purpose publishing in a subsequent issue. We do not propose to generate one lot from that course, even now we are investigating several propositions which call for turning on of the Light of grittless publicity and smoke ```markdown ``` out the guilty; let them be high or low in the estimation of the people. The crap shooters are saints beside the action of some of the ministers of the gospel in this city and surrounding territory. Rev. J. Logan Craw is truly the miracle man; the longer he stays the greater his achievements. He has wrought wonders at the Fist A. M. E. Church of this city, with his good and amiable helpmeet they have gone straight ahead in their arduous and zealous work, without a break for four consecutive years, only when the Influenza ban was on did they pause for a single moment's rest. They surely are titled to a month's vacation, and suggest that they be given the same after their return from Conference, should the good Bishop see fit to return them and show forth our continued appreciation for the zeal of these ambassadors of Christ that know no defeat. We are pleased indeed to note that the people of the great Imperial Valley are to have the honor of the presence of Mr. Roscoe C. Simmons on his coming tour of this country. We are satisfied that his vision will be broadened and the people inspired to push onward and upward, morally and financially, they will be helped immensely and Mr. Simmons himself will be helped to the utmost. One thing certain, that has made him a mighty hero, has been the fact that he is always coming to his people; this trait has endearled him to them and is a concrete evidence of his great popularity. No need to worry when Simmons comes, the people are with him because he is for the people. TO BECOME REAL FACTORS Pioneers at this station of the civilization of a race is indeed hopeful and we are expecting great things from the intrepid leaders of progress who are essaying to do the thing worth while by "Producing Something in Lower California;" we hail and compliment the leadership of such men as Messrs. Troy, Macbeth et al who have eschewed theory for practice; and are now about to give us a practical demonstration of accomplishing real and big things along the lines of becoming real producers from the soil. The caravan which is about to wend its way into the fertile valleys of Lower California are taking an advanced step and one which marks the dawn of a new day for this people. We have qualified along many lines of industrial effort, but along the line of production we have not kept abreast of the times, therefore it is indeed gratifying to realize that we have within the race the men who dare to take up this line of effort and demonstrate it in all its fullness. In these valleys there are the greatest possible opportunities for any people to rise above serfdom and become the captains of industry of agriculture and in fact of all lines of effort of which production is the foundation. We expect the people from the North, from the South and from the East to join this mighty caravan and in time not far distant to become a real factor in the big business of this continent. THE LABOR SITUATION. The more experience the employers of large bodies of men the more they discover how direlect they have been in their duty toward all men; they have only themselves to blame for a policy which denied the opportunity for a part of the people to qualify along all the lines of opportunity solely and only because of the color of their skin. The Black American is a most valuable asset who will always and at all times meet all men even more than half way. With him there would be no unreasonable demands, and he would never suffer the innocent to suffer on any account to gain succor and relief for himself. But such today is not the situation here in this present strife we witness the striker, without a heart, and without a conscience who have not hesitated to bring discomfort upon the innocent women and children of this section; and even should their requests be granted for an increase, the poorest of the poor would be taxed to meet the situation. To our mind the attitude of REAL ESTATE these men is reprehensible to the highest degree and their cause has been weakened in proportion to the unreasonableness of their action. The Black American is identified solely with the working forces of this country and if the labor hordes had not kept him down by their petty prejudice and the employers had not acquiesced in the act, today he would be the reliable balance, which would make it impossible for present conditions to obtain. As the situation now stands he is simply on the "outside looking in;" he is for the man furtherest down but at that believes in a fair and square deal for both Labor and Capital, and under no circumstance would he bring misery and woe upon the innocent men, women and children. MITE MISSIONARY SOCIETY tion) we can see how God deals with man through man and although these hard problems come He has promised not to put more on his children than they can bear. . . All honor then to our pastor and our president, Mrs. Craw, who I am sure could not have done the work if God had not been with them and He alone gives success. They having so well laid the foundation let us as the Missionary Society at First Church ever keep the standard high, going on to greater success, for every year our financial claims have steadily increased and after four years we have gone over the hundred mark. Let us ever have God as our leader until he says: "Well done thou good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joys of thy Lord." The fat named Hallie Q Brown who for a goodly number of years enjoyed the distinction of being the race's leading elocutionist has graced Los Angeles with her presence. Aside from visiting and delivering inspiring addresses at the 1st. A. M. E. Church, The Forum and the Independent Church last Sunday-On Monday evening Miss Brown appeared in recital at Wesley Chapel, and in spite of the fact that she has reached the age when most women so engaged are forced to retire, Miss Brown demonstrated that she still possess the ability and natural aptitude for impersonating characters, also her voice is still round melodious and she appears to be in trim for many more years of active service.

King of the Dallas Express, was shot and instantly killed by a woman in that city last week, the participants of which we have been unable to learn.

She saya: “No other artist bas the petty annoyasees thet fall to the lot of colored artists, ther mations have generations and centuries of mufscal uplife and tradition.

They grow ‘sleepy and fretful and yet can- not sleep as the’ program pro- gresses, with no baby talk, no codditng from the preoccupied mothers, the babies ‘begin to cry, generally at the wrong place. The interested mothers, anxious to hear and get the full value of their admission fees, try to'quiet the babies.

Jennings has a formidable club that must be reckoned with; Tris Speaker still maintains that his Indians have a lookin for the honors. But it seems to be a very remote chance. If the Indians can put the K. O. on Chicago in their present series, and get plenty of help from the other clubs in the league, the series MIGHT be played in Ohio. BOXING Young George, the pride of Jack Doyle's Swat Palace showed enough yellow last Tuesday night to paint the side of Doyle's boxing pavilion; it was a clear case that the home boy couldn't loose. 1. As for Cincinnati, it is all over but the shouting! Nothing can keep Cincinnati away from the National League pennant, unless they start the Shimmy Blues, flounder around, wake up in a stampeed or an ascension that would set a new altitude record. The Reds are playing like a house afire, and their six best bets—Reuther, Luque, Sallee, Eller, Ring and Fisher—rank among the leading hurriers of the league, and are playing a sensational game. surpriseding and unsatisfactory ending of the main event came at the end of the fourth round, when George and Dalton were mixing it in a neutral corner, George suddenly dropped to the floor from a hard left to the body. He lay there writting squirming, telling the world he had been fouled. New York is still floundering around in second place bothering no one. If McGraw had been a wise bird he would have kept Pat Moran and thus been out of his misery today, MAYBE. "It looked like a plain case of too much Dalton. for early in the first round George showed signs of "dogging. it." Referee Donald withheld the decision until the club physician made an examination and as they could determine no positive injury the bout was declared a no decision affair. Up to the time for press, "Babe" Ruth swatted the pill for the full circuite making it 23 for the season. Cincinnati won seven out of eight games played last week, while Chicago won seven out of seven. Dalton's plan of battle was obvious from the bell in the first round: to play for Young George's bread basket, much to the latter's distress, for he took some awful smashes amidship. George does not like the rough goings and Dalton proved it. In the second Steve kept boring in and a couple of body smashes caused George to appeal for sympathy. Ty Cobb is slipping fast, and if some one don't stop him he will be hitting the 400 mark soon. COAST LEAGUE. The pennant race is becoming so hot that the magnates have not time to talk of presidential candidates for the Coast League, until it is decided who is going to hold the leadership. The third was a reittion of the first and second with Young George worried, in the fourth Dalton started both hands working and never let George set himself, with the round half over Steve slammed a wicked left to George's waistline. It was some punch and the blow dropped him, cleanly, a foul was claimed and Dalton was beaten out of what should have been a clean knock-out to his credit. PETTUS DISLOCATES SHOULDER. Bill Pettus, a well-known backstop and first baseman of the Lincoln Giants, dislocated his shoulder while playing the Orange A. A. at Orange, N. J., last Saturday. It is thought that he will be kept out of the game for the rest of the season. RUBE FOSTER'S GIANTS STRUCK A HARPOON IN TREAT 'EM ROUGHS TWICE. The semi-windup was a first calss slugging match between Bud Starr and Frank Mov. Moy was the chief slugger, winning over the hard-hitting Starr. Rube Foster finally lands in New York with his giants and played Ex-sergt. Guy Empy's Treat 'Em Rough team at Dyckman oval last Sunday. It marked the first appearance of Dyckman. Gene Watson surprised Eddie Han bn in a tame hout. Kobe's team in the East since 1914. The first game was a pitcher's battle between String Bean Williams and Big Jeff Tesreau formerly of the New York Giants. Williams out-pitched Tesreau and won his game, 2 to 0, letting the Dyckman boys down with one hit. Cliff Bricker and Eddie Hamlin stood toe to toe and slugged each other to a standstill the full four rounds. Hamlin won the close decision. Young Garcia and Red Bresman fought a classy four round draw. The second game was a free for all affair, with the Giants winning 9 to 7, after twelve guessing innings as to who would be the actual winner, both teams used three pitchers and the spectators saw plenty of action thru- out the entire game. LEONARD IS TO MEET BARTFIELD. Benny Leonard, light weight champion of the world, and Soldier Bartfield are matched to meet at the Philadelphia Ball Park, Wednesday, September 3rd, this announcement was made by Leo Raines, who will also card four other star bouts as appetizers prior to the big windup. Bartfield is a wettersweight, having fought all the top-notchers at that weight. Should Leonard decisively defeat Bartfield in the coming bout the lightweight champion will then go after Jack Britton for a bout for the title, as Benny has always cherished the idea that he can lick Britton over the long route. BILL LARUE—WILLIE MEEHAN'S SKRAMP IS IN TOWN. Bill Larue, prospective heavyweight title contender is around town grilling, happy and quite contented with the world at large. Bill has been a very busy man since his arrival here some days ago, he has been hobnobbing with the picture folks and may return here to work in a feature picture very soon. Larue is booked to meet Carl Morris. September 9th in Oakland, and if he comes out victor, he will then turn his attention to a fight across the pond. What appeals to Bill most is a little bout with the British champion Beckett, and another in France with Carpentier if the proper arrangements can be made. His friends think that he has the making of a champion in him, poor fellows. Am.

All of which invites the knockers who said "Kemp hasn't a chance" to hang up the old hammer and scurry for covers. The very fact Kemp held his own at all times and played the wallopers down to the finals indicates that his more experienced and seasoned opponents from foreign parts even, held him in exceptionally high esteem, and had to "chalk up" to win. Kemp who has portrayed the part of a perfect gentleman and though sportsman has certainly raised the status of the "Tennis West," and we must do nothing less than to shower our idol with a grand reception rivaling the "hop-off."

This, indeed, may well be termed an age of variety, for there is so much transpiring along all lines in the way of amusement, that competition is becoming the goal of artists in all lines, each striving to excel his or her competitor in order to win public favor. Mme. E. D. Hogan, a former Los Angeleno, attained the highest point of entertainment, when, on the evening of August 22, a wondrous Fashion Show was presented to the Social set of Oakland and Bay Cities. This well-known Moderne proved on that night her skill as both an Artist and one highly gifted with the power to introduce to a pleasure-loving public, something that is a novelty and a diversion that appealed to both men and women. The gowns displayed on living models were made and designed by the Madame, and as each figure passed for review before the vast assemblage, many "Ohs" and "Ahs" ascended from masculine and feminine throats, which signified that every creation won high favor, and if put to the test it would have been hard to pick a winner. Here is a partial list of the handsome costumes displayed: 1. Coat Suit of Gray cloth. 2. Street dress of dark green novelty crepe-satin sleeves. 3. Street dress of brown chiffon broad cloth. 3.

It is well and widely known, that when we, as a race, set out to make our way in this world, at whatever calling we see fit to pursue, we must give the best there is in us in order to make good; in other words we must out-rank the competitor of fairer hue. Too much praise cannot be given Mme. Hogan for her talent, and it is worth admitting that it is hard to find anyone, anywhere as capable a designer as this Native Daughter. Mme.
