Address Written and Delivered by Mr. David Mendes at the Peoples Forum, Oddfellows Hall, Los Angeles, Cal. Nov. 2, 1919 ESTABLISHED 1870 LEADING RACE JOURNA THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 4485 VOLUME 33 CHARACTER THE E OF RA OR WHY THE RACE FAILS ACTION Address Written and Delivered by M Forum, Oddfellows Hall, Los And let me now make clear the sylogism of my argument, for the sake of a quicker understanding of what I am about to say. I think a speaker owes that to himself, no less than to his hearers; that on his part he should not throw away his opportunity, and on their side they should gain some profits for their time, and the danger exists of talking over their heads by the obscuration of the intellectual aim, through the crossing of the lines of discussion. I set out to prove this: that character is the basis of racial solidarity, or the essential principles of unity in action. That apparently has not been seen by the average man, for he has been explaining a lack of unity almost everywhere else. The next point, and this is important, for it is the kernel of the matter, and gives to the subject its timely interest, is this--nothing great, or small, for that matter, nothing worth while, can be accomplished except through large bodies of men working in harmony. And then the third point, the conclusion to be drawn from the two premises, however hard and unpalatable it may be. There is no unity, no harmony, because there is no character, no reliability, and directly because of that the Negro has failed to take upon his own shoulders the burden of working out his own destiny, and his erstwhile friends, whatever reason they give themselves, care no longer to be responsible for him. I like to think, and am going to think, that the white man has not told this unpalatable truth out of consideration for your feelings, though he has not failed to tell about everything else there is to tell. It may be debatable, whether all men of European blood would like to see their place of world leadership, in moral, spiritual, intellectual, and industrial activities, successfully chalenged, even though themselves may be no longer worthy of it. Be that as it may, I am under no bondage of ulterior motive, and on the principle that open rebuke is better than secret love. I mean to be frank; I have a great faith that you will not fail to appreciate the advantage of plain speaking. The Negro race does not contain enough sound men and owmen, sound from the topmost hair of the head, to the nethermost atom of the heel. Sound anywhere, and everywhere. Sound under all and every condition of temptation, and test. Sound at all times of the day and all times of night. Sound twenty-four hours every day; 1440 minutes; 86,400 seconds; sound every tick of the clock. Not a quarter enough, not a half enough, not a tenth enough. There is no unity because there is no character. Nothing to rely upon, nothing to be sure about, nothing to rely around. One half the truth explains the other half. My utter inability to understand why the Race was made light of, held up to ridicule, an object of rude and flippant remarks by almost anybody and everybody, a circumstance of such frequent happening, the pastime of a Nation, and yet a most outrageous disregard of human dignity, which can have no possible justification, a reproach to the civilization of the Unitde States, no matter from what angle one looks at it. I say my inability to understand the thing was solved only when I discovered this unbelievable weakness. It would appear that even an infant in years may, for a joke, disrupt his plans for the day, and dissolve every pledge of social and community, responsibility and duty. The fact is, his front is not taken seriously. Experience has taught it to be undeserving of any ```markdown ``` The Califurnia Lagie such consideration. My friends, you say I have overdrawn the picture; I have painted the situation too black. I hope I have. But let me speak of my own personal experience. The most distant, the most unusual, of man, and I am not saying that because I am proud to be, it is the way I inherited; yet I have suffered indignities from the spirit at which I have hinted, and would have been victimized, if that were possible. You are confronted with a situation that grows more difficult to handle, more painful to solve. Have we, any one of us, done our very best to lighten the darkness? Have we felt a personal responsibility to help with all that there is within us? Who is there that would stand up and declare that the solution of every problem that comprises the happiness and peace of the whole human family would not be instantly found if every man were willing to fashion his life on the example of that of our Savior? To be willing to serve rather than to be served; to be willing to give rather than to receive; to be willing to suffer rather than to inflict suffering, and yet in pleading for a candid search of heart, that the seat of the scorful may be located, I am but paraphrasing what is in essence the teaching of our Lord. It is to judge myself first, before trying to reform myself, before trying to have given hostages to society in a certain contingency, surrounded by every element of inducement, and urge men to keep straight because they have given hostages to society in a certain contingency, surrounded to do with what you would do if you were free to do as you please. There is here a place of judgment which it may become profitable to explore. In the final analysis, the problem of every individual man is the problem of squaring himself with himself; of gaining his own good opinion of himself, and this is not a rule of an external discipline based upon obligatory adaptation to social standards of morals or ethics, but the spirit of an internal life realized at that place of what we would really do if the pressure from without were completely dissolved. The opposite of that in truth calls for nothing higher than the initiative faculty of the monkey. It may be said with certainty, if a man's good opinion of himself be well founded, he will sooner or later be able to enforce acceptance of it on everybody else. In the meantime, no opinion of him, which may obtain currency, would give him any concern. I am at expecting a man to apprehend me within the limits of his own mind, any more than I am expecting him to put a quart measure in a pint measure. Nor would he put himself in the place of accepting any contribution toward the price he has paid for the character and uprightness, which are his. He goes along in his own way, carving out in his own power the place that rightly belongs to him, even if it takes to realize it an entirely new order of things. evil thoughts are the measure, the length, the breadth, the height, the depth, of the source of them. No ma is superior to the thoughts he thinks, or is capable of thinking. The inferior man, so-called, may through the law of his inferiority, overwhelm the superior man, whose superiority is a aw unto itself. It is a strange paradox, but eternally true, that the strength of a man may be the source of his greatest weakness, and the strength of another ma, the source of his greatest strength. The moral I wish to draw from the foregoing in this: No man is great enough to San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland THE OLDEST LARGEST wrong the right thing. It is his duty to do, or say, or think, and then no man is so weak he need despair because o, this weakness. Neither does he need fear. If he fear, it is not because he is weak, but because he is evil. If the whites have set out to establish a conception of race aristocracy, based on the arbitrary and calculated degradation of the black man, they could not succeed. Such a purpose would be absolutely destructive of themselves. To know they could not succeed init, or in any other purpose that was not right, would relieve the situation of many distressful phases; at the same time it shows us capable of grasping fundamental principles. Whatever is, is; and needs no affirmation to make it more so. Nor could a denial of it wipe it out of existence. The white race is in no position whatever to grant equality to any other race any more than to withhold it. Equality GAL SEVEN is a law of self expression. If one does not take his equality, it is because he has not got it. If he can be driven away from a place of apparent equality, it is because he does not know; in fact, whatever he may know in theory, his right to it. If he does not obtain his equality, it is because he does not know where to fid it. Equality is not limited. The suggestion that it is, simply shows that we do not know what we are talking about. If one is willing to accept a limited equality, it is because he is entitled to none whatever. Equal rights are for equal men. Now, if a banker associated with a bootblack, that would not make him the banker's equal. It would show him a fool; to be the willing object of such condescension. If he proceeded to rig up enough of appearance to look like a banker he would proclaim that he was in a world, but not of it. There is honor and dignity in being satisfied with one's station and the rights and privileges of it. It seems as if a studied effort is sometimes made to cover the Negro race with unmerited oblequy and humiliation. We ought not to attract that thing to ourselves by a wrong conception, or no conception at all, of that eternal fitness of things consecrated by the experiences of ages. (To be Continued) REV. GORDON COMING. More than nine months ago the Rev. J. Dawson Gordon, who was pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist church of this city for fifteen years, resigned his pastorate and took up evangelistic work in many of the large Eastern cities, among them, Chicago, New York and Philadelphia. He also conducted a Bible school in Chicago undenominational. On Monday night, Nov. 3rd, the Tabernacle church met in its regular monthly business meeting for the purpose of calling a pastor, and by a very large majority recalled the Rev. J. D. Gordon as its pastor, to take effect Dec. 1st, 1919. The church regards Rev. Gordon as being a man with few equals, and no superiors, as a pulpit orator and a convincing speaker, and one fully prepared. His many friends are looking forward to his return with much eagerness. Rev. Gordon has accepted the call and has notified us that he will fill the pulpit on the first Sunday in December. The members are preparing a pleasant reception for him. On next Monday evening the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will hold its annual meeting at the People's Independent Church of Christ. Reynold Blight will deliver his famous lecture upon "The Brotherhood of Man." Mr. Thomas Johnson and Mrs. Hattie Norwood will each render a solo. Rev. N. P. Greggs, pastor of Inde- blessings flow." Rev. N. P. Gregge, pastor of Independent Church of Christ, delivers annual message reviewing marvellous accomplishments of this religious body at recent Annual Convocation of that organization. PASTOR'S ANNUAL MESSAGE 4th ANNUAL CONFERENCE. Through the mercies of our Heavenly Father, we have come to the close of the most successful year of our life as a church and organized body. I say through the mercies of God, lest we forget to ascribe to Him all honor, praise and glory for our phenomenal success and unparalleled achievements. Unlike any other organization, the Church of God, must depend upon the working out of the indwelling Spirit of the Risen Christ, for its success. True, the Kingdom of Christ must be propagated thru human agents, but these human agents and instrumentalities must be directed, supported and maintained by Pentecostal power. It follows, therefore, that all that we have done, as a body of Christians, has been accomplished thru Him. Who worketh in us, to will and to do. Let us pause, here, to raise our Ebenezer and proclaim to the world that hither by His help we come. By His help we have passed thru the most trying and testing period of our organic life. We have passed, long since, the experimental age and marched victoriously thru the deepest part of our Red Sea of tribulations. Today we stand, with happy hearts, upon the shores of a successful consumation of our plans, labors and purposes. Some of us are present, this evening, who were identified with the very beginning of this movement. We saw the seed of organic life planted in the soil of fondest hopes and far-off visions of a free church establishment. We watched, with eager earnestness, the tender sprouts pushing their way up thru brown, hard clods of difficulties, beaten by fiercest winds of chilling adversities and retarded by innumerable oppositions. Oftentimes, as we looked the situation over, the enthusiastic, though small number of brave souls who have composed the advance guard, as compared to the stupendous task ahead, there were times when the strongest wavered and the bravest hearts trembled. But with a spirit akin to that of Ezra and Nehemiah, the days of the desolation of Jerusalem, we set ourselves to the task, with a courage and determination that startled the world. This splendid piece of property, this magnificent building, this membership of a thousand souls, these 187 converts, all represent the efforts and plans born on that eventful Sunday afternoon, in the Christian church, supplemented by the will, pleasure and Spirit of the Rise Christ. Three years ago, when we were about to plunge in debt, incident to the acquisition of the property and the erection of this building, I announced that we would pay this debt in four years, some were disposed to treat the suggestion lightly. This lot was purchased for a consideration of $6500, on June 8th, 1916, 3 years 5 months ago. The contract for the erection of this building was let September 11, 1916, 3 years 1 month ago. Today we are within striking distance of the last dollar on our total indebtedness. That this work has succeeded grandly, is a fact admitted, even by our opponents. For which let us stand, with thankful hearts, and give the glory to Him to Whom it belongs.

And again it becomes my duty to call your attention to the uncertainty of life and the immutable certainty of death. The Grim Reaper has not overlooked us during the past year. Rather He has been very busy gathering the weary tollers unto their everlasting rest. Eight times the ranks of our church family have been broken since last January. Five of the eight were past their fiftieth milestone. Aside from these, the infant son of Bro. Emanuel Hall was carried by the Angels up to the deathless land above. Thank God, all these died in full triumph of a living faith, and therefore, we know that they have been gathered into the Church of the First Born, before the Throne of God. We can most cheerfully submit to the Will of Our Heavenly Father, for well do we know that "We shall gather at the River, where the surges cease to roll; where is all bright forever; sorrow neer shall press the soul." These names have been submitted to the Committee on Necrology, and suitable resolutions will be submitted in their memory at the proper time. Possibly the most noteworthy event of the past year was the cancellation of our first mortgage. This mortgage stood for the sum of $10,000, and was made September 21, 1916. You will remember that there was, also, a second mortgage for $4000, which was cancelled last year. I now have the pleasure of announcing that the first mortgage has been paid, in full, and was cancelled on September 22, 1919. This property is now clear of incumbrance and is deeded to and the title is held in the name of the People's Independent Church of Christ. All deeds, cancelled mortgages, the title and other historical documents are now in the hands of our Church Clerk and are available for inspection. Our remaining debt amounts to $3000, secured by two promissory notes of $1500 each. You will see by the reports of the Clerk and Treasurer that we now have sufficient funds on hand to take up one of these notes. It seems poor business, to me, to hold this amount in our Treasury and continue to pay 7 per cent interest on our outstanding obligations, would, therefore, recommend that this Convocation direct the payment of one of these notes and set the time for the cancellation of the other. This, of course, means that we are within $1500 of the last dime of our church debt. We have experienced a very happy year of work. All the departments of the church have worked in perfect harmony, and our officers and members have used their utmost endeavors to reduce friction and work and co-operate for the cause, which this church represents. This is at it should be. The church is the very last organization that can afford to permit petty bickerings and personal animosities to disturb the tranquility which pervades, or should pervade, its atmosphere. Harmony, first, last and always, together with co-operation and general team work, have made this church what it is, and that alone will assure success and perpetuity for us in the future. The church is like a stone wall, every member supports, and in turn is supported by the others. Common sense and true religion must, forever, remain the standard by which all things must be measured and all problems interpreted. So long as we stand together, even the devil cannot harm us. But the moment we divide, we are defeated. Having discharged in the main our --- debt, we are rapidly approaching the point from which we shall be able to take up some work in extension. I have always been of the opinion that the church is, or should be, more than a vehicle in which the saints are to ride through the clouds and into the heavens above. The church of the coming generation, and of this generation as well, must serve the age in which it finds its existence. I long to see the time when this church will actually every angle of human life and human necessity. We have set the example of the effect of thorough organization. We have established confidence, which is the one essential pre-requisite to any successful business corporation. The word has asked, "Why can the Negro not organize for anything other than the building and financing of churches?" May I not predict that this church will answer that question. Since we have handled many thousands of dollars of your money and invested more than $25,000 of it in this plato, without a hint at suspicion or a breath of scandal, why can we not use the same strict business methods, which are now in operation, to extend our work into other fields of activities, which will open avenues of employment, and for safe investment and reasonable returns to the people of the church? I, for one, say that it can be done. And if you will give your confidence and support to your pastor and Board of Directors, in the future as you have so lafully done in the past, we will be the first church to demonstrate that it can be done on a large scale. Why should the church not do more for a man than save his soul? Let us save the whole man, spiritually, financially, commercially, morally and socially. Benevolence and Relief. As a beginning, the pressing need just now seems to be some adequate system for maintenance and protection of our members in the time of sickness and distress. It is a burning shame for a church to utilize the very best energies of its members and then, when the hour of sickness or death comes, to delegate their support and care to some other organization. Are you surprised that these organizations are gaining in influence and power, while the church is too often declining? We should, we must, prepare to relieve our distressed. So urgent and important is this subject that I would recommend that this Convocation authorize a commission of five or seven, to study this proposition carefully, and reports its findings to our next Convocation. Our Church. Name. A question of importance has arisen many times which, to my mind, possesses sufficient merit to submit for conference action. There are those who think our church name misleading, in that they say people are impressed that it conveys the idea. Independent of Christ. This, of course, is not the case, inasmuch as the word Independent defines the noun church and in no way gramatically affects the phrase of Christ. Still, it seems to be misleading to some. Again, it is claimed that the name is too long and non-euphonic and that the elimination of some portion would remedy both these objectionable defects. For example, The People's Church; or The Independent Church, of The People's Church of Christ, or yet. The Church of Christ. Inasmuch as this question will not down, and there seems to be some merit in the argument, I most respectfully refer the whole question to you for consideration. In this session you will notice a slight departure from the usual method of reporting. Instead of each Deacon, Deaconess and Steward having an individual report, the same have been tabulated, by districts, and will be read by our Asst. Clerk, Miss Ruth Walker. I hope this will preve more comprehensive, and at the same time save much of our valuable time. Why not exted the idea to and so as to include our Club and Board report? That is, have some one person to collect and tabulate our numerical and financial statistics, both quarterly and annually. If you think the plan feasible, I would recommend that a statistician be elected, or that this work be given to the Assistant or ```markdown ``` THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP—NO MAN DOWN. NUMBER 41 MISSIONARY SOCIETY MAKE INSTALLATION BIG EVENT. The Senior Missionary Society of the New Hope Baptist church held forth in a never-to-be-forgotten installation service Sunday afternoon, Nov. 9th, after the following inter- esting program had been rendered! Vocal solo, Miss C. Swanson; instru- mental solo, Miss Beatrice Ham- mond; greetings from the various Missionary Societies of the city; Scripture Reading, Rev. Hardin. The climax was reached in the splendid address of the occasion made by Mrs. L. Hardeman. Taking for her subject, "Woman's Work," Mrs. Hardeman for more than an hour called forth outbursts of enthusiastic appreciation for the very timely savings, which were brim full of interest to those thinking persons present. Beginning gwith woman in ancient times. Mrs. Hardeman gracefully brought her to her present high station, adjured her to do her part well. The person insisted for the year were as follows: Mrs. Taylor, President; Mrs. Mormon, Vice-President; Mrs. E. E. Elmore, Financial Secretary; Mrs. E. Elmore, Recording Secretary; Mrs. Hammond, Treasurer; Mrs. Page, Chaplain; Mrs. House, Legal Advisor After the installation, Miss Millie Taylor presented each officer with a small book of Psalms, enclosed in cases of blue and white ribbon, the Auxiliary colors. The newly installed officers each responded with appropriate remarks. Mr. Gotier, a visitor from Kansas City, spoke words of encouragement, and Mrs. Mabel Gray, President of the Y. M. C. A., was Mistress of Ceremonies. Reading Clerk, for the coming year, and a suitable book provided for keeping the same. Our Manual or Year Book. Last year we published no minutes. It is true that paper and printing are expensive, but if we would make our members intelligent Independent's, we must put the proper information in their hands. The Press. The PRESS is and must remain the ally of the church and each should be the friend of the other and the two should forever work in harmony. The Press helps the church, gives publicity to its work and programs, and also much free advertisement, such as is given no other organization. Churches fully appreciate these kindnesses, but are slow in their expressions. We should not permit the Press to give publicity space to it, to its own financial hurt. I think the Church should reasonably compensate the Press for the space used, especially when it is able to do so. The Church news should be real live news, and there should be an active agent, in the Church, to represent the Press; circulate the papers among the church people and collect for the same, for which service, I am sure the Press would gladly pay the represent. attives an agents commission. To my mind this is the next best thing to owning and operating our own publication. Let us hope that the time will soon come, when this church will own its Press and publish its own periodicals. I would recommend that the matter of co-operation with and compensation for the Press be made a subject of careful consideration for a special committee appointed therefor. New Faces Among Us. Each year we see new faces in our business gatherings. Among these this year are those whose influences will most surely become telling factors in the future development of the affairs of this church. I most heartily welcome them among us, and feel sure that this church will as per custom, assure them that here they have an opportunity to use their talents and experiences in the services of God and humanity. This truly is a great church, and a (Continued on page 6). MARIA MAYER President of the Madam C. J. Walker Co. and the Lelle College, 640 North West Street, Indianapolis, Ind.

Mrs. Lucy Hard the speaker of the evening. was CHURCH- Rev. J. C. Anderson, Pastor. The pulpit of this Church was filled by two visiting pastors on the past Sunday. Dr. Shaw of Wesley Chapel brought a great message to the church at the morning hour. The services were very enjoyable and beneficial to all who were privileged to hear the message. Dr. Beane of Hamilton M. E. Church brought the message at the evening hour. A splendid congregation was present, and enjoyed to the full the splendid message brought by this pastor. The services all day were full of interest The pastor will occupy his pulpit at the regular morning service next Sunday. In the afternoon a mammoth meeting of the three churches participating in the union revival meetings will be held at Hamilton, cor. 18th and Naomi. There will be no night services at our church, as the three congregations will worship in another union service at Hamilton. The revival services are growing in power and interest. Strangers and visitors always find a hearty welcome in our church. Come where the real gospel is preached and where the old-time fire is burning. PEOPLE'S IND. CHURCH OF CHRIST Rev. N.P. Greggs, Pastor. There was an exceptionally large congregation present at both services last Sunday. The pastor's text for the morning was taken from the Gospel of St. Matthew. 6:16. "Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst after Righteousness, for they may be filled." This text was so beautifully illustrated and so impressive that six persons were inspired to connect themselves with this branch of the Christian army. In the evening the text spoken from was, Revelations 3:20. Three persons united themselves with this church at the close of the service, making a total of nine accessions for the day, two of whom were converts. The congregation of both services enjoyed a musical treat. In the morning the soloist was Mr. Jones of Dallas, Texas, who remerced a soul-stirring solo. In the evening Mrs. Turner of Pasadena was the soloist, and thrilled the congregation with her sweet voice. Collection for the day amounted to $92.30. The Choir of this church is rehearsing special music for Thanksgiving services to be held Thanksgiving morning at 11 o'clock, to which all are welcome. The members have decided to make a free-will offering of $3 each to raise $1500, which will cancel the entire debt now due on our church. It is truly hoped that each member will do his "bit" on this great day of Thanksgiving. The East Side Board will serve lunch and refreshments all day Thanksgiving. Everybody will be expected to have luncheon with this Club, as the money raised will go to help cacel the last debt on the church. Thanksgiving evening there will be given in this auditorium a unique play entitled, "Bachelor Maid's Reunion." Come out and see how anxious the old maids are to get married and how willingly they take Dr. Herrman's powders and are transformed into 20th century ladies. See Pearle Bratton and Mattle Breedlove as the "twins." Come out and enjoy a hearty laugh. Admission 35c. Mrs. A. J. Legett, Director. CHRIST TABKINACLE CHURCH- Cor. 17th and Hooper Ave. Last Sunday was ideed a great day at Christ Tabernacle Church, and was well enjoyed by all who attended. The pastor so beautifully held Jesus up as the one and only hope of the human race in this day. The Sunday School at 1:30 was well attended. There was one accession to the church at $ \beta $ o'clock. The public is invited to be present each Wednesday evening, as there is always a rich sermon delivered by the pastor. The presence of the Holy Spirit is truly with us. NFW HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. A. Lively, Pastor. Sunday, Nov. 19th, was a great day at New Hope. Three interesting services were held at the Sunday School, which was held at 9:30 a.m. The pastor occupied the pulpit at 11 o'clock and preached a wonderful, inspiring and son-sistring sermon to the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society. At 3 p.m. the same Society held their annual in THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE very impressive. Mrs. Lucy Hardam, the speaker of the evening, was excellent in her subject, "Woman's Work." and she held the audience spell-hound for more than an hour as she delivered this most wonderful message. Too much cannot be said in praise of Sister Hardam, as she is a noble woman, a dear daughter, a sweet mother and a devout Christian and a true wife. All who missed hearing her, missed the treat of their life. SPECIAL NOTICE. WARD CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH. Rev. J. H. Green, Pastor. To the ministers and their congregations, friends and citizens of Los Angeles, Cal., we cordially invite you to 25th street, near Hooper avenue, to our Corner-Stone laying, which will be aid by the F. A. M. Masonic Lodges of this city at 3 o'clock p. m., Nov. 27th, 1919; on Thanksgiving Day. Also under the auspices of the Missionary Society of Ward Chapel, on the above named date, will serve a turkey dinner, 750 per meal, at 5th and Towne avenue, at the First A. M. E. Church, beginning serving at 10 a.m.; other refreshments. P. The Rt. Rev. H. B. Park. D. D. L. L. D., the evangelical priestly prelate of Fifth Episcopal District, will be present and the speaker of the occasion. Come one, come all, and see the grand parade of the Knight Templars and hear that matchless and famous orator in the person of Bishop Park. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH H. D. Prowd, Pastor. Our Sunday School was largely attended last Sunday. The increased attendance was pleasing to the Superintendent. Brother Groves gave a very appreciable desertion on the Lesson. All the teachers took part in discussing various phases of the Transfiguration. At the 11 o'clock service Dr. Prowd preached from the text, "Jesus Only," and truly it, was a joy to listen to the voice of the Master through the servant delivering the message of love. There was manifestly the evidence of the presence and power of The Holy Spirit to carry home the truth, and all were edited. The spirit of unity and brotherly love is making itself felt, and the general tone of the work is pleasing. At the close six souls united with the church. Professor Jackson of Cincinnati, and his friend, Prof. Bryant, were in the services, and the latter gave us a beautiful rendition. The visitors were given the usual welcome and Prof. Jackson spoke very kindly of the pastor. The B. Y. P. U. had a splendid session. At night a young brother from the South spoke for us, and all bade him God-speed. There will be a mass meeting of all the Missionary Societies at our church this Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock, when Miss Ellen Prowd, our young Missionary, will deliver the address. And by invitation she will again speak at night. Let all come out praying for a blessing. Sunday was indeed a great day; nothing unusual, but simply a man of God in the pupil, giving to an eager and anxious congregation the burning truths of God's words. Four more accessions on Sunday light, with a collection of $19.60, which bespeaks an onward march for our Zion. "The Feast of the Harvest," given by the Women's Mite Missionary Society, was a success, and the sisters have been asked to repeat it. The sisters have sent in their money for the quarter just ended and do not intend to be rushed at the end of the year for conference claims. Sister J. W. Price is indeed an efficient presi- Our class and prayer meetings are a wonder, and for the men and young people who attend we feel that we have the whole of the Southern California Conference beat. Every department of our church is alive, and whenever you need an ing come and worship with us. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGRE GATIONAL CHURCH The Sunday School on the past Sunday was a record breaker in pointof attendance. We are glad to note the continued growth of this part of the churchs' activities under the superintendency of Bro. George Baker. The pastor occupied the pulpit both morning and evening services. "Fear Not, Little Flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom." (Luke, 12:32). At the evening service he gave "Impressions from our Association," held the early part of the week at Vernon avenue Church. The Delowship meeting and dinner on Tuesday night of this week was most successful in interest and attendance. Following the luscious chicken dinner served by the ladies and friends of the church,the following persons addressed the audience: Rev. H. Cooper, pastor of the Bethany Mem. Cong. Church; Dr. G. A. Andrews of Plymouth church; Dev. W. C. Davies of the Vernon Ave. Church. Services this Sunday, Nov. 25, as follows: Sunday School, 9:45 a.m.; preaching, 11:15 a.m. and 7:30 p.m.; Christian Edeavor 6:30 p.m. Strangers especially invited. Sunday School 9:45 a. m., A: W. Wilson, superintendent. Preaching 11 a. m. and 7:30 p. m.; Allen Christian Endeavor League, 6:30 p. m. E. G. Fletcher, president.

Union Thanksgiving services will be held under the auspices of the Inferdenominational Ministerial Alliance at the First A. M. E. church at 11 a. m. Thanksgiving Day. The Rev. J. Ed McCorkle, pastor of the First A. M. E. Zion church, will deliver the sermon. The united choirs are to furnish the music. Bishop H. B. Parks, D. D., of Chicago, Ill., is to be present at this service. Interesting services were held on last Sabbath, with large audiences in attendance. The Rev. J. C. Taylor occupied the pulpit at the morning service, and the pastor filled his pulpit at night. There were four additions to the membership of the church, including a very sick woman in the person of Sister Susan Knox. There was a larger attendance at the Church Conference on Thursday evening, and some new plans were inaugurated for this Conference year. The A. B. O. U. T., composed of young people of our church, celebrated its 4th anniversary with a big party at the parsonage on Griffith avenue on Monday evening. President Payne Middleton and 24 young men and women made up the jolly crowd. Refreshments were served. Covers were laid for 25. FIRST A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Rev. J. E. Morkeil, Pastor. The services at this church are held every Sunday at the above named place. Sunday School 9:30; preaching 11 a.m.; V. C. F., 6:30; 6:31. The services have been unusually attractive and impressive, in the last few Sabbaths, and some one has united with us every Sabbath since Conference. It is our special effort to be a potent factor in the wave of ingathering of souls that is now in evidence throughout Methodism. There will be a sacred concert given at this church Sunday night, Nov. 30th. This is the first of the series after the Conference. Prof. W. M. Byrne, being in charge of it, is of itself a guarantee that it will be a grand affair, an entertainment and a spiritual treat. The public is cordially invited to attend our services. Sunday, Dec. 14th, has been selected as a date for the relaying of the corner stone of our edifice. The Knights of Tabor will have charge of the ceremony, and quite a gathering is expected. Fuller announcement will be made in following notes. Sunday was a high day at Wesley. Twb large congregations, heard the excellent sermons preached by Revs. Beane and Anderson. A fine spirit of fellowship among the churches and pastors was manifested, and the people were helped and inspired. Do not fail to hear the pastor's THE WEEKEND EDITOR FIRE!

C. A. SPEAR ..... Managing Editor J. B. BASS ..... Editor RELIGION AND BUSINESS We are firm believers in the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ, and to be good Christians we not only believe in the tenents of Christianity but believe that practical demonstration of the same can be apparent by improving and becoming efficient along business lines. Therefore, when we note the great effort of the Douglass Temple along the lines of business effort we cannot help but give that religious body full credit for a great step forward for the people; they have a strong faith in God and in their Church, and from this faith they have founded a real business, ordained, it is averred, along the same lines of their Christian effort, all for the glory of God. And now that this religious reed gives this example as a result of their faith in God and in their own faith, it is an example which other faiths might well emulate. The Douglass Temple, under the guidance of their leader, Dr. G. W. Shields, have at 22nd and Hooper avenue founded indeed a model business, highly creditable and modern in every respect; the membership of the church are the mutual stockholders, and with a thorough organization have an able corps of salesmen, etc. The business, we are told, has been a paying one from the start, and at least we have a real and practical demonstration of combined religion and business; let others go and do likewise. What good reason can be advanced' why the "Golden Rule and Decalogue" should not be put right at the forefront in our efforts along business lines. BE WHAT YOU ARE. A big holdback in the march of progress is: the pernicious habit of a people to be what they "ain't." This practice is more universal than is generally supposed. We have people in all walks of life who persist in assuming this attitude. All along the line we have them, especially so in our religious life. Here, this element stands out in bold relief, the biggest hypocrite oftimes is right at the forefront in religious effort. They know, and they know that almost everybody else knows, that almost everybody else knows that they are crooks; yet with brazen effrontery do they go forth and aspire, for leadership right in the spotlight of religious worship. Should we be personal, we could call the roll, and what a rattling of dry bones would come forth. The question is how can they get away with it and escape the dire results of their hypocry? We opine that there will be a mighty day of reckoning for this species of blasphemy and that they are fooling nobody except themselves. At any rate, this sort of camaflouge is a losing game, and sooner or later will pay off. For many, many months we were forced to see the king-pin of the China lottery sharks do business right at our door, but thing shave changed; he no longer haunts are vision, and this part of Central avenue feels that our call has been heeded. JUST A WELL DESERVING BOUQUET. Our good friend, M. D. Thompson, even though he is connected with the Express, and is extended every courtesy granted any other newspaper man, never forgets his own. The other day when the Syncopated Orchestra arrived in the city, the immediately got busy and showed the manager a little advertisement in the colored papers was worth while. By Dr. Ballard (Continued from page 3) the enemy resisting strongly and shelling seeming almost incessant. Half of one company (Co. A), was wiped out, 35 killed and 45 wounded at one time. However, the pressure was too much for the Germans and the retreat began again on the 5th of November, leaving their dead on the field. The 2nd battalion now moved out in pursuit of the enemy, following on their heels for 35 miles, till they made a stand again at Beaune on November 7th. The battalion attack pushing them back two miles further. However the French regiment fighting on our left did not advance as anticipated. This threw us in a pocket and exposed us to heavy fire from two directions, which cost us several men and officers. The 1st battalion, which had been in support, came to the rescue. The enemy was notonly driven out with very heavy losses, but were forced to abandon much of their artillery, machine guns, ammunition and material. Company C alone, under Capt. James Smith, captured three cannons and two machine guns and ammunition. For this feat Co. C was decorated with the Croix de Guere. From here the 3rd battalion took up the pursuit. At this time the advance was so rapid that our kitchens Remove Impurities from your body as you would dirt from your home. Constipation is the cause of much disease.

Resistance was slight, as there was very little fight left in the enemy, but those who could not get out of the way of the advance suffered the consequence. Often, as the Germans were leaving one end of the town, we were approaching the other. Following them for 40 miles, we arrived at Gue d'Mossus, Belgium, on November 11th, at th time the Armistice was signed, having captured a wagon trail of 50 wagons and crews.

The parties concerned in a very pretty church wedding last Wednesday evening at the Mt. Zion Baptist church were Beulah Jones ad Mr. Scott Johnson. Miss Jones came to Los Angeles about two years ago and connected with the Mt. Zion Baptist church and the Y. W. C. A., which was at that time in its babyhood. Because of her many accomplishments and pleasing disposition, Miss Jones was not long accumulating many friends, but among the warmest, perhaps, was the Albritton family. Mr. Johnson is a recent arrival in the city. It is said that a few months ago, when he first came to Los Angeles, and met Miss Jones, it was a case of love at first sight, hence it was not a surprise to the many friends of Miss Jones when neat little cards, a few weeks ago, announced the culmination of the short but happy romance. Last Wednesday evening Mr. Zion was beautifully decorated. To the tune of Mendellsohn's Wedding Marcn, played by Mrs. Beatrice Johnson, Miss Lois Albritton, pretty gowned in pink satin, with Mr. Julius Albritton, tripped in. They were next followed by Miss Annie Jefferson, pink chiffon, Mr. Hughley, the little flower girl, Beatrice Jimmie Johnson, the maid of honor, Miss Minnie Albritton in autumn satin; the bride on the arm of Mr. Julius Albritton, Sr., who gave her in marriage, and lastly, little Harold Van Norton, ringbearer. The entire affair was prettily arranged. The Albritton family practically adopted Miss Jones as one of their own since she first came to the city, and are responsible for the success of the affair. Rev. Brooks, pastor of the church, performed the ceremony. The Iroquoise Social and Civic Club met in regular session Friday morning, Nov. 7th, with Mrs. Maude Batson, 1666 W. 35th Place. Being the first meeting of the month, it was a business session, but on this occasion business and pleasure met, and, unlike oil, and water, mingled freely. Several committees on ways of ability and means of execution thereof, reported very interesting progress, of which more anon. The visitors, and there were many, spoke most encouragingly of the work being done. Then came the luncheon; most beautifully served were the delightful courses which the hostess had to offer. Everyone went home happy, hoping the days would speed away ere time to meet again. Mr. Arvant Benjamin is making good as cornetist in the Jefferson street High School.

During the afternoon games were played and two prizes were awarded. Miss Nellie Harrison and Clyde Winston being the lucky winners. The young folk enjoyed themselves immensely, and later in the evening Mr. and Mrs. Davis entertained the following persons: Mrs. Abbie Nicholas, sister of Mrs. Davis, Messrs.

Mr. and Mrs. Johnson show much pride in keeping up their property, especially their yard, which is planted in small trees and shrubbery. Some owners on other streets do well to follow Mr. Johnson's lead and apply a little paint and plant small trees. Miss Elnora Austin, after a two week's very pleasant visit with her mother, Mrs. A.

We loved you but God loved you best. Loving wife, mother, sister, and brother. Mr. President, Board of Directors, and Stockholders of the Eldorado Gold Star Mining Company, here assembled and abroad. I beg to submit my annual report for the fiscal year ending June 20th, 1919. In my last annual report, made on September 25th, 1918, a silver and gold brick was exhibited to you for your inspection. That brick was turned out under the management of this Company, at the Pompei Mill Plant, a distance of fifteen miles from our property, the ore for making it having been hauled direct from our ore dumps. Other bricks were turned out at the same plant under our efficient manager. For a review of Holidays Wednesday, Nov. 26th, 1919.

Of course the Plant could be made to recover $90 or $95 out of the $100 by installing agitating-tanks; which thing must be done before milling any more. It is but natural for you to ask the question, "Why do you not mill the cres on the Mill-Plant, built by the Company on its own properties?" In order to say, it requires a considerable quantity of water to operate the plant. At present we are short of that water, but by sinking the L' plant one hundred feet deeper, not only will there be water in abundance, but the six feet of vein matter which we have already opened up, will afford a tremendous ore body. DON'T FORGET the Harvest Dance to be given at Normandie Hall Wednesday evening, Nov. 26th. Oh, you farmers. Music by the West Side Jazz band. SOJOURNER TRUTH CLUB NOTES.

Be sure and come and bring your friends. Watch the papers for announcements. The plan of the Company is to develop sufficient water on its own holdings for milling purposes, adjust its own Milling Plant, which is practically all paid for, and turn out its bullion on its own premises. Do you not think that a capital idea? Yes. Then help the management do it. One other important thing; I call your attention to at this time; our Board has been informed by the manager that the old crude method of hand drilling must be discontinued at the earliest possible date, and an Air-Compressor, and also Air-Drills, be installed. That the present method of working under such difficulties are entirely too expensive. To give the manager the equipment required for the successful development of the properties, would mean that two men do the work of ten. It means also that the work could be done five times faster, or in one-fifth of the time required by the old primitive method. NOTICE—The greater part of this statement was created (Financial) between the dates of June 30th and December 31st, 1918, as the "Influenza" was playing havoc on and after October 20th, till March and April of this year. As a result, the Directors and Stockholders advanced the necessary funds to keep the business from suffering. PASTOR GREGGS RE- VIEWS WORK Cash received from all sources.

Upon the shoulders and hearts of the loyal members, this church has been built and supported these four years. May their number increase. We must, therefore, engender in every new member of the church the spirit of the Original Forty-Seven. We must keep the early fires burning, and the real cause and principles for which this church contends, alive. Then when people understand the church better, they will love it just as we do. This church is the very life of many of us, and is dearer than any earthly possession. Even now the words of the poet comes to interpret and give expression to the thought I cannot express. "I love the church O God Her I love Thy Church, O God: Her walls before Thee stand, Dear as the people of Thine eye, and graven on Thy Hand. For her many tears shall fall, til toils and cares shall end. Beyong my highest joys, I prize her Heavenly ways, Her sweet communion, solemn vows, her hums of love and praise. Sure as Thy truth shall last, To Zion shall be given, The brightest glories earth can yield, Following the Secretary's Report, the Auditing Committee submitted its report to the Stockholders: Eldorado Gold Star Mining Company, Los Angeles, California, September 20 Eldorado Gold Star Mining Company, Los Angeles, California, September 30, 1998. Report of Auditing Committee to the Stockholders: This Committee has met each month and audited the accounts of the Company, and the monthly financial statements of the Secretary for each month of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1919. This is to certify that these accounts have been carefully examined item by item, and found to be true and correct. and brighter bliss of heaven. That God may bless this Convocation and give it results is my prayer. May we, one and all, be so inspired as to enter upon our fifth year of duties and responsibilities more determined to success and a happier band than ever. Summary from the manager, S. J. Brown's address, made before the Stockholders' Annual Meeting: Proposes to Thrill You Before She Leaves for the Completion of Her Work at Bosto, and a Tour of Europe. Miss Minnie L. Albritton, with her natural lyric soprano voice, that all Los Angeles loves to hear, will meet you, greet you, and sing your soul into a silent but sweet state of restfulness Tuesday evening, Dec. 2nd, at the St. Paul Baptist church. This is the last time you will hear Miss Albritton for about six or seven years. It affords me much pleasure to know that you are connected with a Corporation which is worth your while and support. In building a great "Industry" like the Eldorado Gold Star Mining Company, unity of action on the part of its stockholders is highly essential. One object should be the chief concern of each and every stockholder, that object being, to assist to the extent of his financial ability to rush the work and place it on a dividend paying basis. As the experimental stage has been successfully passed in our venture, and only more money being necessary, for the purchase of additional machinery and equipment, to sink the shafts on the various properties to greater depth; therefore, there is nothing to fear as to the safety of your investment. I feel and believe that many of you have a business vision, and will give the management your hearty support in the future as you have in this task for the future development of our stockholders. Buy your ticket in time, for St. Paul promises to outdo any previous record on this occasion. Los Angeles' music lovers will be out in gala attire to give this talented young girl a sand-off that will inspire her to accomplish her highest aims. Courage is a great asset in this world; it is a conquered man all else failed. ```markdown ``` - “WE: COVER CALIFORNIA: LIKE THE OCEAN BREEZE”. _ Be i a om Basia Pe bee ae ol 5) .

It has turned out that the "Y" girls sometimes have cold feet, too. Either that or they have been eating too much rabbit. A Mount Lowe-Wilso hike was called for last Sunday, and would you believe it, neither "Sugar Plums" (Y. M. C. A.), nor "Lozenges" (W. W. C. A.), showed up. Miss Caution says that when a hike is called, a hike there must be, so she and her old pal, Johnson, boarded the Mt. Lowe car at 8 sells and by 10:30 were snapping squirrels and feeding linnet at an altitude of 5000 feet. Then they mounted some good old mules and role up the trails to the summit and back. They took in all the trails around Mt. Lowe and reached home about 5 in the evening, satisfied that they had enough red corpseus to sustain the reputation of the "Y" girls. On the 39th when the grand walking contest to Venice comes off, Miss Caution wants at least ten full bloomed women and girls to enter for the prizes offered. The Secretary says she is out for the cup. Wake up, you Angelenos and don't let her get it. Danny Edwards Makes Good Showing in San Diego—Draws With Pattie Dillon: Wins Over Farrell. Danny Edwards, the classy little boxer from Oakland, who was I our midst, journeyed down to San Diego las tweak and engaged in two bouts in that city. Edward's first fight was with Pattie Dillon, who outweighed him by several pounds. Danny fought rings around Dillon the entire four rounds, scoring two knockdowns. He should have been given the decision by a large margin, but the referee could not see it that way, and gave a draw decision. The second fight was with Farrell of this city. Danny beat Farrell nicely out at Vernon last October, winning all the way, scoring two knock-downs. Danny hit Farrell every place on his anatomy but the bottom of his feet, and only received a draw. It was different in San Diego. Edward won all the way and was given the credit for it. Danny made a hit in the southern city and will be seen in action again soo. Watson Burns is working wobblers with the little fighter, and we hope that within the next year Danny will be on the trail of the title holder. Edwards fight sat 112 pounds and has been meeting with men weighing from 116 to 133 pounds, and taking care of himself nicely. His next fight will be at Jack Doyle's next Tuesday unless other arrangements are made. Second Series of Lalionia Championship Starts—Robinson Offers Side Purse. Al Ramsey Leads In Midway Handicap.
