ESTABLISHED 1870 LEADING RACE JOURNA' THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 4485 VOLUME 33 (By Rev. B. C. Robeson) Arkansas hazing crushed us beneath the steam roller of prejudice sought to get a sanction from our lips to carry out its criminal designs. Governor Brough called a conference a few days back of leaders both white and black to discuss the question of bringing about better and stronger relations between the races. The subject however has not yet been touched. The Elaine riot was brought up by his majesty and picturing it to his taste he cried, "It was a damnable insurrection." Dr. E. C. Morris of Helena, Ark., was called upon to speak. While he did not fully grasp the opportunity of the hour, it redounds to his credit that he refused to follow the Governor's lead and call the convicted guilty. "Dr. Morris" said Governor Brough. "do you believe these men to be guilty?" "Give me a definition of first degree murder and I will answer." said the Dr. Two lawyers, one white and one colored responded. Says Dr. Morris, "I do not believe they are guilty, your honor." Applause was equal to pandemonium itself. At another time he rapped the Jim Crow system good and hard, calling it "the curse of Arkansas." Bishop Connor of the A. M. E. Church much admired by the Governor of Arkansas was flatteringly introduced by his honor and was too discreet to lessen that admiration and compromised with principle for caucasian applause. Be it said however to the credit of colored Arkansas, that the Chief executive is anxiously watching the troubled waters and before his mind is relieved he will step in the seventh time. The late reprieve is but the echo of this. Elaine was a godless community, made so and kept so by unscrupulous demagogues. Anything and everything was allowed that robbery could finally pass mister. One day a divine spirit no longer tolerant, touched the prancing steeds of justice and sitting within the chariot of righteousness came to town. The day may seem dark but not so. Arkansas will soon revive its code or be launched into the deep. The Negro with a more determined spirit proudly lifts his head, and cries with revered Jasper. "The sun do move." this is really the dawn of a beautiful day. Governor Brough is afraid to execute those Negroes. A guilty conscience is an awful thing. Pressure, protest, constructive action can save them. Let us join hands with those now helping them. Let us act with precision. SALT LAKE BUSINESS WOMAN COMES TO LOS ANGELES Mrs. Bessie Seals of Salt Lake City, Utah, arrived in our city a few days ago, and at present is locating with her son, Mr. and Mrs. A. Estill of 1520 E. 15th St. Mrs. Seals is in every way a first class business woman for more than 25 years she was sole owner of one of the largest rooming houses conducted by our people in the Middle West. Mrs. Seals expects to remain permanently in our city, and when she finds a suitable location will again enter into her former business. She comes to us highly recommended, having served on the Stewardess Board in the First A. M. E. Church of Salt Lake City, Utah, for more than 25 years. Her many friends throughout the West wish for her the same great success in Los Angeles that has been with her during her stay of many years in The California. Lagie BLACK STAR LINER ARRIVES AT CRISTOBAL. The following account from the Star and Herald of Panama R. P. is self evident proof of the fact that the now famous Black Star Line promoted from New York has successfully launched its gigantic undertaking in establishing a steamship Line. Despite the knocks and the barriers this company had to surmount it has gone "over the top" and given a practical demonstration of our capacity to do big things. This has always been the contention of the California Eagle, that it is strictly up to the people to line right, up and do tahings just the same as any other people. Stop passing the hat and produce something. Therefore the Black Star Line has made a giant step in the mighty march of progress. LARGE CROWD GATHERS ON PIER TO WELCOME NEW STEAMSHIP Vessel Brought 10 Cabin Passengers and 37 Deckers—Special Train Colon, Dec. 17—The Black Star Liner Yarmouth, which is to be rechristened Frederick Douglass, arrived at pier ten, Cristobal at 11.27 this morning with ten cabin passengers and 37 deckers from Kingston, Jamaica. Several thousand West Indians were down at the pier as the ship came alongside and all paid a visit to her going over every part of the ship. This morning an excursion train will be run from Panama, leaving at 9.30 a.m., to give an opportunity for those on the Pacific side to see the first steamship financed, master and crewed by members of the colored race. The Frederick Douglass is a black steamer of 1,451 tons gross. Her length is 22 feet, breadth 35 feet and draft 16 feet. She is fitted with wireless and makes ten knots to the hour. Her commander is Captain J. Cockburn, who was the cynosure of every West Indian eye as he stepped lightly up Front street this afternoon in a neat white uniform with four gold bars on each sleeve. On board the ship are Mr. Henry a public speaker for the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and Miss Henrietta Davis, the vice-president of the woman's branch. No freight was carried. There is accommodation for 50 cabin passengers. The ship was flying the British ensign with the emblem of Canada in the center, and on a red and green background had a huge black star on her stack. An Appreciation Mr. Editor: Sir—Allow me a little space to express my appreciation to the Black Star Line Steamship Corporation, on the success of the first ship (S. S. Yarmouth) to be rechristened (S. S. Frederick Douglass) to reach Colon. I was a visitor to the ship today on her arrival, and was pleased with everything, and the way she was handled. It was indeed a surprise to see a colored man as captain on a steamship, who was giving orders to the crew, which were promptly obeyed. The majority of the people said it couldn't be accomplished, but they were all convinced, of the "New Negro" boast, when they saw the Red and Green flag with the Black Star. Now I hope the colored people on the Isthmus, will arise with new courage and determination, and follow the footsteps set by our brethren in the States. We can't launch steamships, but we can establish business enterprises, and we will be successful if we sitch together. United we stand, divided; we fall. Unity is strength; so it's best for us to cling together, and be molded like concrete blocks. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1920 THE OLDEST LARGEST AND LOS ANGELE ER MAKES PORT OF LON the "Black Star Line," an enterprise that the Negro race is proud of, the biggest proposition ever attempted by Negroes. We can assist by bu- ying shares in the Corporation and by so doing will be helping it along. Good luck to the Frederick Doug- ass and. I wish her a long career on the blue Atlantic. THE BLACK STAR LINE S. S. YARMOUTH (Soon to be re-christened the S. S. Frederick Douglas) arrived at Colon at 11.27 a. m. yesterday. She will sail on December 19, in the afternoon for Kingston, Jamaica and New York carrying freight and passengers. First class and Deck passengers for Jamaica; first class only for New York. Papers must be vised by Consuls in the usual way. Tickets obtainable on board from Purser, or apply to C. A. Graham, Agent, No. 44 Third November Street, Guachapall. Passengers must be on board Thursday P. M., Dock 11, Cristobal.—Panama Star and Herald. PASTOR E. R. DRIVER OF SAINTS HOME CHURCH AT HOME. Pastor F. R. Driver returned to us in time to enjoy Xmas with his family and his congregation. He was welcomed by all his family and the church at large. His three months away from the church and family marks a great episode in his life and story of his trip. Pastor Driver delivered a soul stirring sermon Xmas night from the book of Hosea 13th chapter, 14th verse, for a while the big crowd was held in amazing wonder as he pictured to us the mighty battle that the Lord wedged against death. At last there came to all of us a mighty outpouring of the spirit and we were made to see our victory in Jesus. After the sermon the congregation presented to him a wonderful collection of presents. Sunday was a great day in Zion with the saints. The Pastor delivered a strong message on the signs of the time, after the sermon many came up for prayer, some for healing and some for salvation, many were blessed. The Y. P. W. W. rendered a special program Sunday evening from seven to eight-thirty in honor of their Pastor. After the program the Pastor delivered another one of his soul stirring sermons from Luke 14:18. The church was crowded to its capacity and the whole congregation was moved toward the alter and great was the power of the spirit among us all. Pastor Driver announced that he would begin a series of sermons Sunday morning on the closing of this present age. Let all come Sunday morning and start with the Pastor in these messages. Be sure to hear him Sunday night deal with the book of Revelations—Come early so that you may be able to get a seat. MEETS AFTER 32 YEARS Mr. W. R. Horton of the Soldiers, Home, Sawtelle, received the surprise of his life on Saturday, December 27th, when a big auto drove up to his door with Rev. Augusta Little of Riverside accompanied by his son, brother and two grand sons. Rev. Little is the brother-in-law of Mr. Horton and that was their first meeting in 32 years. They saw each other last in Emporia, Kansas, when Mr. Little a lad of 18 years left to come to California to make his fortune. They were reunited through the efforts of Mrs. Hockaday of Sawtelle.

Santa Clara, Lower California, Mexico, Jan. 1, 1920—Dewey Massey and Rugene Roberts are running neck and neck for ploughing honors at Santa Clara this week. Each of these gentlemen has slightly more than twenty acres to his credit, for the week's work, which in the language of President Troy, is "going some." In the language of Mr. R. M. Massey, the veteran Rivera, California farmer, "we are getting along fine down here with the Bronchoes. We are "busting" more land in Mexico than all that the Negroes in California are doing put together. I am buying $5 more acres of this land this week, and all I can say to our people in the United States is to get hold of some of these choice lands before they go to a hundred dollars or two hundred dollars per acre, for land that ploughs and produces like this land won't stop advancing until it gets to $200 per acre. The value is all there and the market value of these lands is going to rise to $200 is going to do to keep it down." per acre in spite of what the Company Engineer Walter J. Simpson arrived from the Company's headquarters in Los Angeles today. He states that by January 15th he will finish his field notes and begin the construction of the big Santa Clara subdivision map, the first section of which was issued on June 10, 1919. western shores of America by the renowned and venerated Father Junipero Serra, the Father President of California missions, is of historic and educational interest to all. The joyous songs and dances of California as they existed more than a century ago give the pay a richness and color which lingers as a pleasant memory. Performances are given at the Mission Playhouse ever afternoon except Mondays, beginning at 2.15 including Sundays and both Saturday and fornia's "Passion Play." The splendor and vivacity of noted Spanish singers and dancers give an added touch of beauty to the days of California as they existed more than a century ago. Wednesday evenings, beginning at 8.15. Cars for San Gabriel leave the Pacific Electric Station every twenty minutes. Reservations for seats at Mission Play can also be made in advance anytime after January 10th at Mission Play ticket office on Ground Floor of the Pacific Electric building. FIRST EFFORS SUCCESS REPORT OF YULETIDE COMMITTEE SHOWS THEIR EFFORTS A GREAT BIG SUCCESS. The treasury's report which follows shows that, the Yuletide Committee accomplished much for the children of the race in a very short time. And indeed demonstrates what can be accomplished when the effort is really made. With short notice the Forum set the wheels in motion and from the conception of the idea in the fertile mind of Miss Glindys Harris, the idea was a brilliant success. Great things were accomplished. Nearly 400 children were made happy, and all who helped to make them happy were the happier themselves at having the opportunity of helping to make others happy. The Committee having in charge the affair state that absolutely no one turned them down and that the only reason more are not reporting in helping is simply because the committee did not get to see them. But for all that Christmas Day 1919 will long be remembered by the Colored children of Los Angeles for hair very own people, had provided a joyous occasion for them, at the rooms of the Y. M. C. A. Pop Sanders as Santa Claus was a very popular man on that day with the children for he was there with the goods, provided J. W. Coleman of the room was on hand with bells and with his Mr. A. J. Ellis is expecting his wife to join him at Santa Clara by the 15th of the month. Mr. Miles Henderson of Redlands, California, arrived here last Saturday. He is some prospector and freely predicts that he will locate a copper mine in the Santa Clara Hills before six months have passed. Mr. P. M. Hickman and party including Mrs. Mary Pittman of Los Angeles arrived here today. Considerable excitement prevails throughout the penninsula over the report of discovery of oil on the islands of Carmen and Catalina, in the Gulf of California, south-east of the Santa Clara Valley. The National Petroleum officials of Mexico City have been asked to send a special commission of experts to investigate not only these islands but the adjacent coast of Lower California, where it is believed that petroleum also exists. Samples of "chapopote" of a high quality obtained from these islands are being exhibited in Ensenada, thirty-seven miles from here. "Chapopote" is the local name given to the high grade of certain oil bearing sand. Senor Richardo Romero, the owner of the largest flour mill in Encinada, has officially informed the Lower California Company that he will buy at current market prices, all the wheat raised in the Santa Clara Valley in the year 1920 to the extent of $100,000. machine made the way possible for secretes to get her who could not have come otherwise. Miss Harris was their with Mrs. Richardson, Mrs. Porter, Mrs. White, Miss. Caution and others who the writer can not recall at this moment, in fact the success of the affair for the Children was so big and grand that there is enough credit for all who helped in the same. Many who were not present in person were silently represented. T. A. Cole was chairman of the Yuletide Committee. The following is the report of the Treasurer of the Committee which shows that with less than $100.00 at their command they made a showing like unto a $100.00 occasion and still have a nest egg with which to begin their efforts for the next Christmas.

OPEN LETTER TO THE MANY FRIENDS, CLIENTS-AND ACQUAINTANCES: That I have met and handled business affairs for since I began the practice of law in this city. I wish, now, to sincerely thank you one and all for the liberal patronage that you have given me as well as for the good words that you have snoken for me in my behalf, when I was present as well as when I was not, and more especially the latter, considering the fact of my being a stranger in your midst. I assure you that I am glad to say that I feel that I have been treated better than one would ordinarily expect and the circumstances I am also glad to say in return for the above honors and favors, that I have delivered the goods. I beat one of the biggest murder cases that has been tried in the criminal branch of the Courts of this County for a long time. The Defendant, (whose father has just handed me a valuable Christmas present) was freed by a jury, after a short deliberation of not over thirty minutes, although he had what seemed to be a hopeless case to begin with. In the past few days, I qualified an administrator of the Estate of the late J. W. Moore, deceased, and the Judge of the Probate Court required of me to give bond in the sum of $14,000.00, which I did—and the beauty of it was that did not have to go to a Surety Company to make the bond, but on the other hand, colored property owners came forward and qualified. I have not words at my command to express my appreciation to them, especially when I conceive that they knew me only by reputation, and I wish to assure them as well as all others that have had business with me, that they will never have any reason or cause to regret as doing. I am further pleased to say that I have been able to do business with and for the same people more than twice or as often thereafter as they would have any legal matters to be attended to.

The Christmas exercises were on a very high order, and the participants each did splendidly. The Songs the Recitations, the Reading by Class A and the Superintendent's and pastor's remarks all were in good form. The gifts and Xmas filicitations reached high water mark and all seemed satisfied At our 11 o'clock service there was a perfect down-pour of the Holy Spirit. All over the church expressions of approval in spiritual outburst could be heard. The Text was from Nohemiah 9:21—"Forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness, so that they lacked nothing. Their clothes waxed not old, and their feet swelled not." The service will always be remembered. At 2.30 p. m. the Y. M. C.

That poured on a nation's altar, a sacrificed flood. A song for the unsung heroes who stood the awfu tleet. When the humblest host that the land could boast went forth to meet the best; A song for the unsung heroes who fell on the bloody sod. Who fought their way from night to day and struggled up to God. A Visit with the Veterans of '61. On last Sunday afternoon the editress of this column made the short journey to the National Home for Disabled volunteer soldiers at Sawtelle; on arriving at the home, was directed to the Adjutant's office, on making inquiry for our soldiers was directed to the headquarters of Co. C and the two hours spent there are among the pleasantest I have ever spent. There are eleven colored soldiers in this ward; there are 2500 soldiers in this home which occupies 700 acres of land and 33 of this number are colored. They come from every state in the union and the following is a brief summary of those interviewed. The first veteran to greet us at the door of Ward 4, Co. C., was Private Robert S. Wagoner. Spanish War veteran who lost one of his legs in the Philippines. Private Wagoner comes from Mountain City, Tenn.; is 4 years old and served 14 years in Co. H. 24th Infantry. He introduced Private Geo. Clark, a Civil War veteran who hails from Eastern Shore, Maryland; he is 74 years old and served this country for one and one-half years with the Fifth Massachusetts, U. S.; two years in the Navy and ten years in the Tenth Cavalry. The next warrior to greet us was Private Harvey Knox, one of the recent arrivals at the home from the state of Colorado, having lived in Denver, Sylvia and Mount Vesta, but a native of Broomontown, Ga.; he answered the call of his country in 1861 and joined the 44th Infantry of the U. S. Troops, organized in Tenn. This warrior of 73 years served through two years of the Civil War and five years regular army; he is the uncle of Mrs. Carrie Parsons of our city. Private Alfred Jackson was the next veteran we had the pleasure of meeting a tall stately-looking veteran or 71 years who has given fifteen years of his life to Uncle Sam, first serving two years in Co. C., 33th Infantry, Civil War and the remainder of the time in the 24th and 25th Infantry; he hails from Lowden County, Va. Mr. Henry Joe of Louisiana was next introduced, a veteran of the Civil War serving at that time with the 24th U. S. of Louisiana for three years and one month, he saw service at Fort Pike and Ship Island, he is an old man of 74 years. his sight is falling him and he sends an appeal for his son he has not seen in forty years when last heard of he was l ing in New Orleans. Mr. Joe has been in Sawteile ten months, he came from Independence, Kansas. A veteran of the Indian War came to wish us welcome next in the person of Private Geo. W. Goodman of Charlottesville. Va., he served Uncle Sam eight years, part of the time, with Co. D. 9th U. S. Cavalry, entering the service in Baltimore, Maryland. The other veterans, Messrs. Johnson, Jackerman, Woods, H. B. Burus, White and McKee, were out visiting friends, so we will review their history in the near future. Leaving Co. C, accompanied by Private Wagoner we were escorted to Co. F headquarters. Three of our warriors are stationed here: Mr. John Anderson; Mr. I. Berry and Mr. William R. Horton. Mr. Horton was the only one in and we spent an interesting half hour talking with him; he is the father of Mrs. Mattie Gwin of San Jose, he has other children living in different parts of the state. In talking Mr. Horton said, "When the Civil War broke out I was accepted as Fifer or musician of Co. F. 3rd North Carbina mounted infantry, one of the volunteer mixed infantries, composed of Negroes, Indians and Whites." For one year he was Fifer in Co. I. When asked why he volunteered he replied, "My father was a free man and how I used to pray to God to let me see my mother free. I volunteered with the one idea uppermost in my mind: my Mother's freedom; and I thank God I lived to see her a free woman." Leaving the Home Grounds accompanied by Mr. Wagoner and Horton we went to the cosy little cottage of Mr. and Mrs. John Anderson, Mrs. Anderson greeted us very cordially at the door, invited us in, and introduced Mr. Anderson, one of the most distinguished veterans living in California. Mr. Anderson is a veteran of Civil and Indian Wars, having served with the First Kansas Volunteer and the First Montana Militia of Bozeman, Montana. He was born May 25, 1832 in Cherokee Nation, now the state of Oklahoma. While talking Mrs. Anderson brought us some relics to look at and read, the most interesting was the leather, beaded coat worn by "Crow foot," eldest son of "Sitting Bull," the great chief of the Sioux Indians; this son was killed in battle in 1874 by Mr. Anderson, single-handed; in one of our early editions we will publish the full account, also his citations from the government for this brave deed. Our next stop was at the comfortable bungalow home of Corporal and Mrs. Enuch Longress, the parents of Mr. Gee. Longress formerly of the 151th Pioneer Infantry, A. E F., one of Los Angeles' own sons. Corporal Longress is a native of Missouri and one of a family of 26 children, served for two years with the 11th and 14th U. S. navy Artillery of Providence, Rhode Island, during the Civil War. Mr. and Mrs. Longress are now enjoying their fifty-second year of happy married life. We then started home with high hopes and greatly inspired by talking with these veterans who fought bravely nearly sixty years ago to make this country a decent place to live in. Are they discouraged? Not! they are happy and optimistic for the race, are being well cared for. They had an excellent dinner Thanksgiving and Christmas, attended the theatre on their own grounds Monday and Thursday evenings, attended religious service at 10.00 a.m. Sunday morning and prayer meeting 3.30 p.m. Wednesday Dr. Jessie K. Gideon is the first colored girl to graduate from the Tift's College, Massachusetts Dental Department; she graduated a few weeks ago. Basket Bull is the great sport event in the East this week. the Joan D'Are girls of Greater New York and the Morgan Baronet girls of Brooklyn play their first game this week. The Baronet girls have not lost a game this year. The citizens of New York are making a fight to have colored girls employed by the telephone companies of that city. --- Miss Viola Dixon was winner in our "How to Attract Young Men" contest. She gets a good dinner at the Y. W. C. A. next Thursday. Miss Q. E. N. wins the 100 cards offered as prize for best answer on carrying your newspaper to church. Mrs. Maurine Browning, formerly of this city appeared on the Christmas program of the Y. W. C. A., New York. Mrs. Emma B. Ranson was unanimously elected to the Metropolitan Board of Directors of the Y. W. C. A. Mrs. Ranson is the first colored woman to be elected to this board. Madam A. V. Musgrove of Austin, Texas, the only colored theatrical costumer in the United States is doing a splendid business in Chicago; she has made costumes for companies touring Europe and Australia. An opportunity for our girls, from Monrovia, Liberia, comes this appeal — "During the visit, of the Spanish Influenza to this country several dentists fell victims to the malady, and as a result, Liberia is asking American dentists to turn their attention to this Republic." A special appeal is being made for dentists to correspond with C. J. George, Water St., Monrovia, Liberia, W. C. A. The appeal said: "The field is unexplored and the harvest is plentiful, but the labcrers are few." An example of a white woman's veracity is shown in the murder of Jas. M. Blake, Jr., age 6 years, in Atlantic City, December 14th. He was thrown in the ocean by his mother, but she reported to the Police that while out walking on the board walk she was attacked by two Negroes who beat her, robbed her of her purse, kidnapped her son and threw him into the ocean—the Police have discovered she was a plain old-fashioned—"delusion."—?

GRAY Mrs. Natalie Curtis-Berlin, in a re- Mrs. Natalie Curtis-Berlin, in a recent issue of "Musical America" sasy "I believe that through the widen-pronounced artistic gifts will come a pronounced artistic gifts will come a greater realization of the Negro as a man with a contribution to make to the culture of this country. The exhibition of Negro sculpture from the French Congo, which opened the De Zayas Art Galleries at 549 Fifth Avenue, this autumn, has the same significance as the performance of Negro music at the first concert of the reorganized Music Art Society. Mr. De Zayas in his catalogue affirms without compromise that "African Negro art is not a primitive art, but a prime art. It is fundamentally abstract, and is the foundation of modern abstract art." In other words, it is the Negro who has inspired the art of modern France today, and France is fair enough to acknowledge her artistic debt to the black men of her colonial possessions. Let us in America do the same." Clarence Cameron White has written a very fine article on Negro Music in a current issue of "Musical Observer." Numerous examples of various types of folk songs are also given which make the article very interesting and helpful. Paderewski says: "I am firmly of the belief that the pianist, in order to produce the finest and most delicate effects, must feel what he is playing, identify himself absurdly with the composition fits entirely, as well as with its every shade of expression. Only so shall he speak to that immense audience which ever depends on perfect art—yet he must put his own personality resolutely, triumphantly into his interpretation of the composer's idea." UNCLE RODNEY WITH THE MUSSIE Once a man and a boy two times. Chas. Johnson, known by his practical name—Uncle Rodney, author of "The Beaver and the Bear;" "Please Bring my Boy From 'France'," and others, is employed by the Postal Telegraph Co., as Messenger by and speaks wel for that Company, not because they hire colored messengers, but for the open door to all American Messenger boys.

W. of the Saints Home Church, of the Church of God in Christ gave on Monday evening a very beautiful banquet in honor of their pastor Rev. E. R. Driver on his return to them. There were about 50 young people that gathered at his home on that night to enjoy the presence of their pastor and the dainties that were prepared. The house was beautifully decorated, and an Xmas Tree was placed in the center of the room. The officers of the Y. P. W. W. spared no pains in making it a success. The pastor gave a splendid talk to all present and our hearts did burn as he spoke to us, and also we rejoiced to hear him speak so lovely of the Y. P. W. W.

Assemblyman Easton says that if Senator Hart decides to run for senator from the 29th district that he will enter the race; otherwise he will run for re-election from the 72nd Assembly district. It is said that Billy Vacher will run this year for the Assembly from the 73rd district. He claims that he will have easy sailing from the fact that Mr. Bromley has disqualified himself. The race for Assemblyman from the 74th Assembly district promises to be a lively, one this year and many entries are being spoken of. Assemblyman Roberts, the present incumbent, it is said will have many opponents for the nomination. Among those mentioned are Billy Greenwood, Moses Lowenstein, Mr. Mueller who was backed to win two years ago, and others. Roberts made his campaign on the issue of All Americanism in the last campaign and to him the slogan is the more the merrier the race will be. Oversee Assemblyman Carter's district it is said that Doc Whiteside will make the race for the Assembly with a good chance of winning out!

Hubbard while here during the holidays held numerous confabs with the politicians and was indeed again in his elements. Frank H.

Eleven (a lucky number "so they say") judges of the superior court are to be nominated and elected this year. There will be a mighty rattling of dry bones indeed. A call will be issued next week for a meeting the purpose of which will be to organize a real "sure enough" Republican Club. This will be known as the harmony movement, it will mean for every mother's son to forget the past, but get together for the future. The boys all say that in this campaign they will not stand for any hand-picked leaders, that those who lead must be those who have followed and who are a part and parcel of the activities of the race. SERMONETTE * Miss Ellen Consuelo Prowd * "THE PARTING OF THE WAYS" As we meet and touch each day, The many travellers on our way, Let every such brief contact be A glorious, helpful ministry. The contact of the soil and seed, Each giving to the other's need. Each helping on the other's best. And blessing each as well as blest. Possibly the last four years, spent largely among the church going people of Los Angeles will go down in my little life's history as four of the most pleasant years of my entire existence. It is needless for me to say at this time when I am about to sever my connection to go to foreign parts, that this parting is painful. However, so dearly have this people grown to me that I shall always hold them near my heart. It is true I will meet people, and see new faces, but no one will ever be able to take your place in my heart, nor be able to erase you from my memory. During my stay here each and everyone has been lovely to me. "Can I forget you? No!—how could I? When your joys were my joys—and your sorrows my sorrows. The little work I have done among you for the past four years was done with the hope of bettering humanity. I have tried always to keep my little Christian lamp burning bright as someone could be benefited and blessed. For after all friends, we are little stepping stones for others. You have been an inspiration, and benediction to my life. The time is drawing near for my departure, I want to assure you that I will not forget you, but instead will carry your dear nieces with me across the briny deep to Rio Janerio, and if it be not God's will that me meet on earth again, I know I will meet you in, heaven where comes neither parting, sighting, or weeping. "Wayside roses droop and fade. Bloom and die their own sweet way; We know not where their fragrance goes— Floating, floating, by day. "Pass the footsore travellers, Breathing in the dusty air. They catch the odor of the flowers, And bless the grateful perfume there "Such our lives, sweet words of kindness, Fall, we know not where or when; Like the fragrance of the roses, Reaching far beyond our ken."

Singing at the door attracted the attention of the inmates, and the lights that were burning low grew brilliant and brighter. The group passed in with Merry Christmas in their hearts and the affair was unique and beautiful. The party spent all an hour in laughter and merry mingling, after which Mr. John William Tillman, Jr., one of our soldier boys, the son of Dr. Tillman, our pastor, were introduced to the party and given a hearty welcome. The members were seated in a circle. The president and vice-president in the middle of the circle Sister Jefferson, very gracefully escorted the president to the center of the group. Mrs. Washington, the originator of the plan, introduced Mrs. Homer Jones, who in language of eloquence and beauty, presented a beautiful Christmas box to the president. The box was opened before the group. The gifts in this box were placed in three packages. The president had to unfold rolls after rolls of paper before she could find the hidden treasure. One package contained silver, the other greenbacks and the other gold, amounting to $22 all told. This with many other beautiful gifts constituted the surprise. These gifts brought the president, Mrs. L. G. Flemings, much pleasure and joy as well as unshaken confidence in her co-workers. Her response was one of beauty, beautifully worded, which lifted her co-workers to a higher conception of her ability for leadership. Hot chocolate, mints and wafers were served the group and this ended MRS, M. M. S. HILL, 135 So. Vernon ave. Pasadena. ALLENSWORTH NEWS Dr. T. M.

Price, Pastor. Sunday was another great day at Grant Chapel, following in the wake of the Quarterly meeting at which time the congregation did credit to itself along all lines. The Sunday School was well at tended and interest among the adult scholars is steadily increasing. At 11 o'clock the pastor delivered an able sermon from James 5.13. The Choir of Grant Chapel gave the finishing touch in the form of a Sacred Concert on Sunday evening beginning at 8 o'clock the house was crowded and with a number of visitors from 8th and Towne Avenue Church; all enjoyed themselves and the program rendered was a credit to all. Mr. L. G. Eggleston as Choir director cannot be spoken of too highly; he is helping the Choir to excel itself. The collection for the day was $20. We are really and truly lined up for the best year's work done yet in this section. Soul saving is the slogan. The Pastor and members wish all a Merry Xmas and Happy New Year. MACHEDONIA BAPTIST CHURCH— Watts, California Rev. John A. Fleming, Pastor: The Rev. furnished an excellent and creatively program on Christmas ever after which the beautiful Christmas Tree was quickly stripped to the many presents and many little cases of candies, fruit and nuts the church made a gift of $22,000 to the pastor and his wife as a token of love and appreciation for the Christmas shown in the work the Lord has sustained them to do. The last Sunday's review brought out just how much we had learned for the past three months, in the S. S. Rew. Taylor, now of the Old Folks Home, presached a most remarkable sermon, in his own way which was greatly enjoyed by all present. The theme of his sermon was "Putting your Heart in it." Four accessions were made about the sermon, one of which was 100 ```markdown ``` LIBERTY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY NOW BEING ORGANIZED AS A STOCK COMPANY. CAPITAL, $100.000 STOCK is being sold for $30.00 per share—$5.00 per month. Two shares, $10.00 down, $10.00 per month, etc. The more stockholders we have, the stronger the company will be, and better for all concerned. A large number of stockholders spells absolute success. INCORPORATED under the laws of the State of Illinois as an OLD LINE LEGAL RESERVE Insurance Company. IT proposes to issue policies and transact business along the same plans as the New York Life, Illinois Life, Metropolitan and all other Standard Life Insurance Companies. WE call your particular attention to the fact that OLD LINE LEGAL RESERVE STOCK COMPANIES are considered the safest, soundest and most substantial Standard Life Insurance Companies in the world. THE laws governing the insurance companies are so much more rigid than any other branch of the financial world that a FAILURE of a life insurance company organized under the Old Line Legal Reserve Plan of the various states is almost unheard of. NOW! is the time to take advantage of our mistakes for the past fifty years as a race of people, by paying to the world at large that we CAN and WILL co-operate the same as other groups are doing, and until we do learn to co-operate, we can never hope to be a power as a Race of people. WE must begin investing our money in legitimate race enterprises of all kinds, and remember, that no matter what our shortcomings might be, it is up to us to work out our own destiny, and in doing so, we are going to make many mistakes. However, that should not discourage us, because, no people have ever accomplished anything who did not make mistakes. RECENT disturbances throughout the United States have "AT LAST" convinced us, that WE CANNOT and MUST NOT, depend upon other groups to help us. And after all, it will be better for us, because they have forced us to begin opening up businesses of our own, whereas, before we were satisfied with supporting theirs, not knowing at what moment they would close their doors against us, which they did without a moment's notice. STOP FINDING FAULT with those who are trying to promote business enterprises. Instead of criticising their methods of doing business and predicting their downfall, GET BEHIND THEM and help them to succeed in whatever business they are trying to promote. START TODAY by subscribing for at least one share of stock in the LIBERTY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, which is going to give employment to thousands of our young men and women, protection to thousands of homes and help to educate thousands of our children. THE success of Standard Life of Atlanta, Georgia, and the North Carolina Mutual of Durham, North Carolina, has proven that our people are capable of managing the affairs of large financial institutions of this kind. Without any obligation on, my part, will thank you to send me further particular relative to securing stock in your company. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA Rev.
