The Ritz Club Dance Postponed from February 14th to a Later Date The passage of the 'Dyer Anti-Washing Bill in the House of Representatives by the large majority of 230 to 119 is an achievement. Every American should derive distress satisfaction from this, the most important legal step ever toward ending our peculiarly national disgrace. For this accomplishment the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which for years has lobbied to arouse the American conscience but lynchings and to crystallize public sentiment into effective legislation, deserves full credit. But the right is lot yet won; the bill has to pass the Senate. Those feel the sting when Europeans do 'Do you really mean that people gather to see men burned live in America?' should give the National Association unstinted support until the bill not only passes to Senate and becomes law, but is forced." Those who wish to act in accordance with the suggestion of the Nation, which for more than fifty years has championed the cause of colored Americans, may send donations for the Anti-Lynch Fund of the N.A.A.C.P. to J. E. Spingar, Treasurer, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York. Donations of one dollar up will be welcomed. FULL TEXT OF DYER BILL NOW BEFORE U. S. SENATE. (Write Your Senator.) The National Equal Rights League Final Form of the Dyer Bill as it Passed the House. In the Senate of the United States January 25 (calendar day, January 27, 1922.) Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. AN ACT To assure to persons within the jurisdiction of every State the equal protection of the laws, and to punish the crime of lynching. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the phrase "mob or riotous assemblage" when used in this Act shall mean an assemblage composed of three or more persons acting in concert for the purpose of depriving any person of his life without authority of law, as a punishment for or to prevent the commission of some actual or supposed public offense. Sec. 2. That if any State or governmental subdivision thereof falls, neglects or refuses to provide and maintain protection to the life of any person within its jurisdiction against a mob or riotous assemblage, such State shall, by reason of its failure, neglect, or refusal be deemed to have denied to such person the equal protection of the laws of the State, and to the end that such protection as is guaranteed to the citizens of the United States by its Constitution may be secured, it is provided: Dec. 3. That any State or municipal officer charged with the duty or who possesses the power or authority as such officer to protect the life of any person that may be put to death by any mob or riotous assemblage, or who has any such person in his charge as a prisoner, who falls, neglects or refuses to make all reasonable efforts to prevent such person from being so put to death, or any State or municipal officer charged with the duty of apprehending or prosecuting any person participating in such mob or riotous assemblage, who fails, neglects or refuses to make all reasonable efforts to perform his duty in apprehending or prosecuting to trial judgment under the laws of such State all persons so participating, except such, if any, as are or have been held to answer for such participation in any District Court jurisdiction in United States, as herein provided, shall guilty of a felony, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by imprisonment not exceeding five years, by a fine of not exceeding $5500.00 or both fine and imprisonment. 1. Any State or municipal officer, as such officer under all other State law, having in his care or control a prisoner, who compries, combines or coerces with any person to punish him to death without authority law as a punishment for some public officer, or who such officer combine or coerces any person to suffer such punishment. ```markdown ``` 100 H: R. 13 AN ACT oner to be taken or obtained from his custody or control for the purpose of being put to death without authority of law, as a punishment for an alleged public offense, shall be guilty of a felony, and those who so conspire, combine or federate with such officer shall likewise be guilty of a felony. On conviction the parties participating therein shall be punished by imprisonment for life or not less than five years. Sec. 4. That the District Court of the judicial district wherein a person is put to death by a mob or riotous assemblage, shall have jurisdiction to try and punish, in accordance with the laws of the State where the homicide is committed, those who participated therein; Provided: That it is first made to appear to such court that the officers of the State charged with the duty of prosecuting such offense under the laws of the State fall, neglect, or refuse to apprehend or punish such participants, or that the jurors obtainable for service in the State court having jurisdiction of the offense are so strongly opposed to such punishment that there is no reasonable probability that those guilty of the offense can be punished in such State court. A failure for more than thirty days after the commission of such an offense to apprehend the persons guilty thereof shall be prima facie evidence of such failure, neglect, or refusal. Sec. 5. That any county in which a person is put to death by a mob or riotous assemblage shall forfeit $10,000, which sum may be recovered by an action therefor in the name of the United States against such county for the use of the family, if any, of the person so put to death; if he had no family to whom his dependent parents, if any, otherwise for the use of the United States. Such action should be brought and prosecuted by the District Attorney of the United States of the district in which such county is situated in any court of the United States having jurisdiction therein. If such forfeiture is not paid upon recovery of a judgment therefor, such court shall have jurisdiction to enforce payment thereof by levy of execution upon any property of the county, or may compel payment thereof by mandamus or other appropriate process; and any flicer of such county or other person who disobeys or falls to comply with any lawful order of the court in the premises shall be liable to punishment as for contempt and to any other penalty provided by law therefor. Sec. 6. That in the event that any person so put to death shall have been transported by such mob or riotous assemblage from one county to another county during the time intervening between his capture and putting to death, the county in which he is seized and the county in which he is put to death shall be jointly and severally liable to pay the forfeiture herein provided. Sec. 7. That any act committed in any State or Territory of the United States in violation of the rights of a citizen or subject of a foreign country secured to such citizen or subject by treaty between the United States and such foreign country, which act constitutes a crime under the laws of such State or Territory, shall constitute a like crime against the peace and dignity of the United States, punishable in like manner as in the courts of said State or Territory, and within the limited by the laws of such State or Territory, and may be prosecuted in the courts of the United States, and upon conviction the sentence executed in like manner as sentences upon convictions for crimes under the laws of the United States. Sec. 8. That in construcing and applying this Act, the District of Columbia shall be deemed a county, as shall also each of the parishes of the State of Louisiana. That if any section or provision of this Act shall be held by any court to be invalid, the balance of the Act shall not, for that reason, be held invalid. Passed the House of Representatives, January 26, 1923. Attest: WM. TYLER PAGE, Clerk. BISHOP CANTWELL TO ADDRESS CATHOLICS Rt. Rev. John J. Cantwell, Bishop of Montrey and Los Angeles, will address a mass meeting of colored Catholics and their friends on the evening of Wednesday, February 15, at 8:15, in Normandie Hall, corner Jefferson and Normandie streets. The meeting will be held under the auspices of the newly organized Bishop Augustineine Catholic Society of this city, of which Rev Thomas W. Dempsey of Saint Viliana's Hospital in the Sacred Heights. This organization has for its aim, social, educational and religious work mong the colored Catholics of this city and the Bishop will address the meeting upon the object and aims for which he has called upon his colored Catholic people to gather themselves together in a society. He will outline a plan whereby the so-called Catholics will be to build its own hall and clubrooms to carry out the purposes of the society. Those who have heard the Bishop speak know that a treat is in store for them. While there will be no doubt in the minds of any who heard the inspiring address of the Bishop before the meeting of the N.A.A.C.P. as to the fact that he has a deep and sincere sympathy for the aspirations of the colored people, especially is he solicitus for the welfare of those who are his own spiritual children and for whom he is directly responsible to God. He is anxious that every Catholic in the city be present at the meeting, but all who may be interested in hearing the Bishop's address are cordially invited. An interesting program is being arranged and all may be assured that it will be an evening of no regrets. VULTURES ARE THESE The people are now much concerned over the activities of MAILING LIST THIEVES, brought more forcibly to the forefront by the dastardly sabotage on the office of the "New Age". Editor Roberts has our sympathy, we hope that the guilty persons will be apprehended and sent to the penitentiary where they belong. The New Age Management is at even a greater disadvantage than The Eagle whose list was stolen by fraud, trick and devise and brassely used by the THIEVES right under our nose; but at that price we have a line on the Birds who did the job, and the mark of Cain will ever rest upon their brows, for in due time these skunks, these apologies for manhood will be unmasked and stand naked to the gaze of a disgusted public, which will realize that we have hyena's and ghouls along with buzzards devouring carrion on which they will dare to ask an indignant public to subscribe.

Washington, well-known citizen and former veteran employee of the Santa Fe dining car service, arrived in the city last Saturday from Ensenada to which place he went last month to take charge of a hotel which he, and several other of our local business men, have leased, and of which Mr. Washington is to be the manager. Mr. Washington makes a very optimistic report of activities in Lower California. He says that he has been busy rotogravating and improving his leisure getting ready for the opening of the same on March 1. He says that Ensenada is now the mecca towards which all activities for Northern Mexico strive, and that concessions for various resorts are being planned and discussed. This is brought about by the action of the Mexican government prohibiting the sale of lion and gambling within a radius of 40 miles from the boundary, therefore overnight, as it were, Ensenada becomes the Key City of Lower California. Work on the new highway is being hastened, which when in perfect order places San Diego only 2 hours' auto ride from Ensenada. The Great Concert De Luxe by First A. M. E. Church Choirs and Race talent of the city will be staged at Philharmonic Auditorium, Friday night April 28th. MONROVIA ODD FELLOWS WILL HAVE JOINT INSTALLATION WITH HOUSEHOLD OF RUTH.

WEALTHY FARMER IN PRISON FOR MURDER ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 9. —John S. Williams, who until his conviction as owner of the "murder farm," where the bones of many negroes were found, was one of the richest farmers in the State, was today serving a life sentence in his permanent home at the State prison farm. MOB LYNCHES NEGRO PRISONER MALVERN, Ark., Feb. 4.—Harry Harrison, negro, 30 years old, was taken last night from the Sheriff of Hot Springs County, and two deputies and lynched by a mob said to have numbered 269 men, it became known today. The negro was accused of frightening women and girls OLDEST U. S. CONVICT TO BE FREE WHEN 98 CHICAGO, Feb. 4. —Sentenced to life imprisonment at the age of 78 years, a commutation of sentence has been awarded Wesley Johnson, a negro convict at Joliet, and the oldest prisoner in the United States. He is now 84 years old. Johnson, after a life of hard work, starting with his sale into slavery at the age of 18, killed another negro employed with him in 1916. Johnson is convinced he will live to the end of his term, fourteen years hence. When sold in the New Orleans slave auction of 1856 his initial price was $3000. SAYS OLD TIMER: "Rube" Foster, manager of the American Giants, was a great pitcher in his day. He was considered the best Negro hunter in the business. A discussion arose between a Negro admirer of Foster's team and a white fan who thought the All Stars a better team! Finally they got down to discussing Foster's pitching. Foster had a trick of shooting the ball back across the plate the moment it touched his hands whenever he caught a batter off balance and the Negro fan was discussing this. "Faust" he said. "Why, man, dat Foster he shoot dat ball back quicker'n you kin see. De day he was pitchin' against dem Logan Squares he done pitch de ball up to Zangerles, and he done attack at it and missed it and in his hat got past de plate. Rube he thrown de ball back quick. Zangerles, he hit the second one while he was striking at the first. Dat' how he happen to make dat hit' his Rube." TOP NOTCH UMPIRE Wm. Donaldson (Billy) has demonstrated during the season of Major League Baseball that he is a most highly capable umpire, and in a faultless manner has he functioned in all of the games played excepting the period in which he was fill. Truly the Big Show in baseball would do well to give our own Billy Donaldson a chance, we know that he would make good. A STUDIO RECITAL TALEENTED PUPIL OF ELMER C.

Dr. Arthurton, on first coming to California from Chicago, located in this city, and for a while seemed to prosper. His marriage while here to a leading and popular belle created a sensation, but the union failed to function. The doctor left, located in Oakland as a physician and surgeon and swept everything before him. His practice grew by leaps and bounds, prosperity was at hand. He purchased valuable property but returned to the white lights. Disease took hold, the white plague stole upon him. The writer talked to him last August, he stood out that he would come back, but fate was against him and he had to give up the ghost and die. Likable and progressive fate decreed this strange life. Friends forsock him. The Master, never doubt, called him to rest. Peace to his ashes. gait in the coming campaign. Sherif Traeger has made a record during his brief possession of the office of Sheriff that places him in a commanding position for the coming election. Much talk is in evidence for the organization of an Independent Republican movement among the co-ored voters. Coming Events Cast Their Shadow Before Who is Capt. E. T. McGann? Born in Alleghany County, near Pittsburg. Pa.; member of the Los Angeles Fire Department for over 10 years; retired as captain; studied law and admitted to the bar in 1913; a veteran of the Spanish-American War; now a deputy city prosecutor. A man of sterling qualities, but too modest to state his aspirations. A committee of 5000 red-blooded 100 per cent Americans, registered voters, want him and will urge him to become a candidate for the office of Police Judge, primaries, August 29 and election November 3.

Cryer We sat at the big meeting at the Tabernacle Church on last week and listened to the very pleasing and helpful remarks of our Mayor, the Hon. George E. Cryer, thoroughly enriched, and intensely earnest, he spoke to our people along the line of civic and religious duty. We were pleased that our Mayor would come up and rub hands with constituency, that he could see personally, for himself, the Herculean efforts which we are making for the highest ideals of citizenship. We opine that His Honor was pleased and the people being pleased, all can say it was well to have been there. R. G. Lamar, the old Democratic war horse, has renounced his alliance to the Democratic party, and registered as a Republican. This breaks the famous trio as Titus Alexander, the fine eater, and G. W. Snell are the only pebbles left on the Beach. It was really amazing to listen to the wall that went up by the conservators of the people's interests—the Democratic Party—over the seating of United States Senator Newberry of Michigan, by the United States Senate, Republican. Now don't be alarmed when we tell you that from this same source emanates the opposition to the Dyer, Anti-Lynching Bill, making lynching a Federal offense. It must also be remembered that these same guardians of liberty were successful in checking the Federal investigation of the Ku Klux Klan. When it comes to the preservation of the basic principle of government to the guantes of our fundamental and constitutional rights, these same champions of a pure democracy should be reminded that once upon a time there was a content in the House of Representatives over a time before By T. L. GRIPFITH A colored man's place of business is not a loading joint. It is a place upon which he pays the rent, and to which he hopes to attract customers who desire to buy what he has to sell. When I used to live in the South, there were little stores which became regular loading centers. There are parts of the country in which this old custom still survives. But the custom does not fit in well the changing conditions in northern communities. There is need for some kind of social centers, but our people should not expect our business men to provide these cen- A MAN YOU MAY TRUST ters in their stores. Loafing is bad for the loafer, and it is bad for the business man. This loafing tendency is rather too notifiable in most all American cities where our people live. There are many ways to spend the leisure hours by which we will not hinder business or hamper the race. I went to a public library the ether day, and I could scarcely find a seat because the people were spending their leisure hours in reading and in study. Very recently I heard a story, and it interested me. It was that a gentleman went into a store operated by one of the race to buy butter. After the procer told him the price the prospective customer told him that butter had taken a drop, and that his price was above the market A MA DO YOU price. "Well," said the dealer. "I can't help it if it has. I bought this butter at the higher price and I have got to sell it so it can get my money out or it." The customer went away, and the grocery kept his butter. In other words the grocer saved his few cents on his butter, and lost a customer. And I wondered if that dealer would not have been better off to have gained a customer, especially as this particular gentleman has himself, been a successful business man for years. Not very long ago another very successful business man among us told me that it was this very thing which prevented him from spending more of his money among our own peoples, that the prices are too often higher than he could afford, and that he owed it to AN YOU RUS ```markdown ``` A. L. JOHNSTON DELIVE his family to spend his money where it would buy the most for them. It is a very old saying: "Business is business." We need to develop a racial consciousness for business. We need to think in terms of business. Israel weak out of Egypt, but it was many generations before Egypt went out of Israel. The Negro went out of slavery; now slavery must go out of the Negro. The exclamation gave physical freedom. It is up to the Negro of the present generation to free his own mind. In slavery the mind was kept on mental tasks.' In the life of free men there are industrial pursuits which require skill, and there are lines and influences of business which we must develop, or we are doomed to remain behind in the race of life.

He has taken a lively interest in political campaigns and his work has always been of the highest order, and of the best satisfaction.

CALIFORNIA 1156 Central Ave. Los Angeles, California House of Prayer THE OPENING OF THE NEW HOUSE OF PRAYER Phone Fair Oaks 705 960 Morton Ave. Pasadena, Calif. We intend this proposed building to be a Home for the Saints and Missionaries, strictly non-sectarian. The new building will contain one hundred rooms, exclusive of Prayer or Assembling Rooms; Auditorium, Rest Rooms, Dining Room and Kitchen. Our present frontage is 200 feet by 200 feet deep. On this lot is a ten-room cottage, grape fruit, oranges, lemons, figs, walnuts, four large palms, shrubbery and garden. We need the co-operation and prayers of God's people all over the land in the erecting of this building, and feel the Lord would have every believer in Christ have a part in this grand work. If you feel this Home will be an honor to God and His people, a pride to the State of California, and a credit to the Race (as we are believing you do), may we have your hearty co-operation in this work. We will not ask you for $1,000 or $500 or $100, but if every reader of this paper will send in one dollar for Registration and volunteer to get as many of the Race interested we will soon have the task accomplished. We know we have no building of this kind to represent our Race in the State of California, and many do come from afar. It would be very nice to spend a week-end in this Home. This is not a Hotel or Rooming House or private property. We have no stock or shares to sell, but one dollar or whatever the Lord lays on your heart will give you a Reservation in this Home. Any one feeling led to make an offering to furnish a room for themselves or a tired or returned Missionary or a home for one in old age, please act at once. This is the last call and an especial appeal to the Race. My House shall be called a house of prayer for all nations. Special Free Will Offerings will be used as requested. "Bring ye all the tithes into the store house that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me saith the Lord of hosts, and I will open the windows of heaven and pour you out such a blessing there shall not be room enough to receive it." Mal. 3:10. We have a Secretary and Matron in attendance continually; also a consecrated staff of workers praying for the sick daily. Those in need of spiritual help for soul or body, send in without hesitation for prayers. Thanking you in advance for any favors shown us, I am yours in His Service, J. S. EPPS, Superintendent.

Milton Ward, Minister Res. 1466 Griffith Avenue. Rev. Ward is to preach morning and evening in the 8th and Towne Avenue A. M. J. Church next Sunday. The Mutual Aid Society of the First A. M. E. Church is to turn out in a body in observance of its 28th anniversary at 11 a.m. The choirs, under direction of Organist Elmer C. Bartlett, will furnish special music. Quarterly meeting day services in 8th and Towne Avenue Church last Sunday resulted in a good old-fashioned Methodist meeting. The pastor served in a dual capacity of pastor and Presiding elder, because the latter was away in attendance at the meeting of the Board of Education of the A. M. E. Church. Rev. Ward preached at 11 a.m. and the Rev. H. A. Margeeopa, native African, and noted walking evangelist, preached at 7:30 p.m. Fourmen and women were added to the church at 11 a.m. and one young woman at night, making five for the day. The immense audience at 11 o'clock included many prominent visitors. Strangers were also welcomed at the evening services. The choirs furnished good singing. Mrs. A. G. Inman was the soloist of the evening. The Sunday-school, A. W. Wilson Superintendent, had an interesting session at 9:30 a.m. The Allen C. E. Middleton, in charge of the consec-League, with its president, Payne creation services at 6:30 p.m., "went over the top in a good spiritual meeting. The early morning prayer meeting seems to have inspired a good days services. Great preparations are being made for the observance of "Founder's Day" on February 19. Bishop Richard Allen was born February 14, 1760. Stewardess Board No. 2, Mrs. Eliza Warner president, holds its St. Valentine dinner in the chapel of the church Tuesday evening. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH MISSION W. Jefferson and Normandie Maj. G. W. Prlecan, Pastor. Five new pupils joined the Mission Sunday-school last Sunday. The review by the Superintendent was very interesting and instructive. The morning service was inspiring, the pastor preached at this service, subject: "The All Sufficient Christ," II Cor. 12:9. The Pastor preached again at night. The services of the day were all that one could expect. God was in the midst of us and His presence was felt. The offering for the day was up to the usual standard. We praise the Lord for liberal and sincere givers and worshipers. For want of information we failed to mention the fact that the call of the women of the Mission by Mrs. Priollau last Thursday, was to organize a Missionary Society. Mrs. Washington, wife of Presiding Elder, Conference Missionary President, effected the organization. This society is destined to be of great help to the Mission. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH 34th Street, and Central Ave. "Watch and pray that ye enter not into temptation," Matt. 26:41, was the text used by the pastor on last Sunday morning as he spoke to the splendid audience assembled on: "Keeping Fit." At the close of the service a large number of members and friends partook of the Lord's Supper which was administered by the Pastor, assisted by Rev. Mr. Roberson. At the evening hour the Pastor spoke on: "The King's Wagons." This Sunday, February 12, which is Lincoln's Birthday, appropriate services will be held throughout the day. You are cordially invited to worship with us at all services. PHILLIPS CHAPEL, C. M. E. CHURCH 1406 Newton St. Rev. J. A. Anderson, Pastor An overflowing congregation greeted the pastor at the morning service last Sunday. The Holy Spirit was present in demonstration and power and blessed the service while the pastor preached a most excellent sermon on "Love." Large numbers partook of the Communion of the Lord's Supper at the conclusion of the sermon. The choir sang as if inspired. The pastor preached again at the evening service to a splendid congregation and administered the Lord's Supper. There were two accessions to the membership of the church during the day. A number of strangers and visitors were present at the morning service. This church always strives to make it pleasant for those who visit us. Strangers and visitors always find a hearty welcome. Come where a real gospel message awaits you and where the old-time fire is burning. SECOND BAPSTER CHURCH Maple Between 9th and 8th Dr. T. L. Griffith, Pastor. The Sunday-school and Young People's Society of Second Baptist Church enjoyed unusually good services Sunday. The lively interest in the lessons and the animated discussions, with a constantly growing attendance, are evidence of the growth of the work. The theme of the morning discourse, with "God's Book for the Human Soul," Psalm 19:738-9:101. The study of the Bible reveals fundamental scientific truths found in astronomy, geology, biology, and zoology. To the student of literature it is a rich fount with tragedy, romance, history and eloquent oratory filling its pages. It is a book adapted to every age and to every race; it takes the learning of the educated, yet may be understood by the most unlearned. It is a book that never grows old, and never loses its interest. It is a book of human history, showing the working of God in human affairs; and over and above all, it is the book of Jesus Christ, revealing to a perishing world the way to everlasting life. The sermon made the unconverted to feel the need of the acceptance of God's word, and the Christian to realise more keenly the wonder and blessing of possessing this book. The Lord's Supper was administered to a large number of communicants, at the conclusion of the evening sermon—a message from Isaiah 58:3, that was peculiarly appropriate for the service following. Eleven accesions were made to the membership during the day. WARD CHAPEL, A. M. E. CHURCH 1252- East 25th St. Rev. J. Edw. McCorkle, Minster Next week is Valentine Week. During the week there will be four interesting programs held at this church, as announced in last week's Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday and News.

Ward Chapel is a progressive church, with a profitable program, all are welcome. IND. CHUCHCH OF CHRIST Cor. 18th and Paloma Sts, Rev. N. P. Greggs. After the storm had rained everybody out last week and gave indications of staying with us another Sunday, it turned out to be a fair day. With this fine day came a large crowd. It seemed to give the pastor and the choir a great inspiration. The solo of the morning was rendered by no other than Miss Frostina Scott, the newest member of the choir. This was followed by a beautiful selection from the choir. The pastor followed this with a splendid sermon. The evening services were not as favored as the morning, but there was a full house. The solo was rendered by Miss Lenora Benjamin, one of the youngest members of the choir. Then the choir rendered a splendid selection, which was followed by a tenor solo by Mr. George Johnson. The pastor then delivered an excellent sermon the text of which was taken from Acts 19:20. Sunday, February 18, a chicken dinner, will be served in the basement of the church. Wednesday, February 8, the choir auxiliary met at the house of its president for some important business. The doors of our church are ever open to the public. BIRCH ST. CHRISTIAN CHURCH Cor. 14th and Birch Sts. F. C. Cottran, Minister. Last Sunday our services were as usual spiritual and good, but they seemed to us to be more than ordinarily so, because on account of the weather and gas shortage, our services were suspended on the previous Sunday. So we, of course, were more than glad to see a beautiful day and be privileged to come together and give praise to God. Our pastor filled the pulpit at the morning service and brought to us a beautiful lesson of love and devotion. The evening services were featured by the presence of Bros. E. M. Borden and a visiting congregation from a newly organized church. Elder Borden, who is one of the most able scholars in the brotherhood and the author of many books and periodicals, preached us a wonderfully instructive sermon on Heaven. Brother Borden made a complete discourse on heaven, its location and its relation to us now and hereafter. We are planning to have special ordination services on next Sunday morning. Our prayer services are continuously, as usual, full of spirit and instruction in the way of truth and light. We are making special efforts in our social hour. And we cordially invite you to come out and meet us Sunday evening after services. WHEREAR our pastor, Rev. W. D. Hardiman, has tendered us his resignation. AND WHEREAR for the entire duration of his pastorate our dealings have been perfectly humiliated, being presumably in the spirit of brooding love, without friction, and as followers of the most and lowly Negroes. THEREFORE. Be it Received, that we continue our service forever. ON ITS FUNCTIONAL BENEFITS That we command Him, Hardinus to the world as a teacher, a great student, a Christian guardian, and a true minister of the gospel, seat by God's command, to speak the truth and teach the people of "Christ and Him Called." The body of these individuals, he named Roy Hardinus, copy attributed to Baptist Ministers, Alliance or Los Angeles, a copy forwarded to the press for publication, and a copy thereof spread upon our minutes. Done this 5th day of February, 1922. Rev. D. C. Knox, Pastor. The spirit was high on last Sunday all day, Sunday-school was largely attended, there being many new scholars present. Mrs. Katie Johns is making wonderful progress as our newly elected president and the members are supporting her splendidly. The pastor met the audience with his usual smile, taking for his text at 11:30, Matt. 4:19, "How to Become a Soul Winner." After the sermon, Mrs. M. Price very beautifully sang, "God Will Take Care of You." At 3 p.m. Rev. S. R. Green preached, it being our covenant meeting service. B. Y. P. U. at 6 p.m., conducted by Mrs. T. Williams. The society was favored with a solo by Mrs. M. C. Knox. The B. Y. P. U. has a splendid program prepared for next Sunday and friends are invited. In the evening, Rev. Knox preached a soul stirring sermon, one practical to every-day life. You are quite a church name, come to St. Johns, 25th and Compton, where we have services like our mothers and fathers had in time past when they were not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are to have a Ham Hunt, Saturday night, February 11, all are welcome to attend. The ham is yours, if you find it. MRS. B. M. McGLORY, Clerk. Pastor Holt will deliver a special message both morning and evening, a gospel that is gaining souls for Christ in this part of the vineyard. Among those who worshipped with us last Sunday were Dr. Wm. R. Carter, who left many good thoughts; also Rev. and Mrs. Harrabello A. Maraneopa who left a message that continues to burn within us. We delight to report at this writing the convalescence of the daughter of Pastor Holt. Visit us at St. Paul. FIRST A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Ploo. and Paloma Residence—1610 W. 36th Place Last Sunday was quarterly meeting day and good attendance marked both morning and evening services. Rev. Clark, the Presiding Elder, preached a most excellent sermon at 11 a.m., from II Cor. 8:9—"For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he were rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. So powerful was this sermon and yet so simple a young child melted into tears, accepted of Jesus and asked her name to be sent to Tabernacle Church. The afternoon sermon was another feast by Rev. Clark, Matt. 17:21, "Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting." General testimony and good spiritual wave closed the afternoon service. Rev. Gantt held the fort at 8 p.m., preaching a forceful sermon on "Gathering up the Fragments." John 6:12. One member was added to the church. Next Sunday at 11 a.m. Rev. Gantt will preach on "Boast not thy self of tomorrow. He will preach again in the evening. At 3 p.m. he will preach at Rev. Washington's Church. Come to Zion. Everybody welcome. Her doors always stand ajar to visitors and strangers. Sunday-school, 9:30; C. E., 7; Preaching services, 11 a.m., 8 p.m. Rev. M. F. Mitchell, Pastor. Excellence marked the activities of the Wall-street Christian Church last Sunday. The pastor held his audience from the beginning to end of his discourse. Both discourses were gladly received by all who were present. After the morning service Mrs. Katherine Keath held a successful missionary meeting. The pastor will fill his pulpit at each service next Sunday.

AFRICANUS We are all familiar with the story of the three blind men and the elephant—we see things from a different pointpoint, yet we all have a right to our views and opinions. In the play, "Africanus," by Eloise Bibb Thompson, I saw the struggle for liberty and justice by the native African in some parts of his own home land, the same as we find it in America. I saw sincerity, humor, satire, psychology and philosophy. In the epifogue, I saw thought and beauty. As a whole, I saw depth. It was a play that pleases and displeases. The acting was above amateurs. Whatever fault, this new field is the beginning of a great wcrk. We predict success.

Residence, phone 507-1745-J. state the following facts: About the last of October the condition of Mrs. Peterson was reported to me, and I found her helpless and blind at 1142 E. 12th street. I immediately began to care for her, as assisted by the family with whom she lived. Mrs. Harlin, the faithful mother of the house, did all she could to supply the needs of this afflicted woman and her baby, as did also Mrs. Duncan. I appealed to the churches for help and some of them raised money. New Hope Baptist Church gave $22. Arrangements for the family to leave for Denver were almost complete when I was compelled to go to Santa Barbara, and I asked Mrs. Maras of 1126 E. 12th street to kindly see them off. I also spoke to Mrs. Robenstein Hammock on Friday night, and enlisted her aid, so what was accomplished on Sunday, with a few exceptions, was already planned. The people who assisted me thought I had given the statement that first appeared in the paper hence this letter. Very sincerely. (Signed) NELLIE E. SALLEE. Monday was a happy day for thirty-one ladies, when they were called by Mmees, Prioleau, Gladden and Bond to go to the beach on an outing, honoring several visiting ladies.

Go again ladies, it helps to make a living for the lawyers. MRS. HOWARD SKANKS ENTER- TAINS THE IDLE HOUR CLUB.

However, the management has decreed that henceforth Tuesday shall be the day when the Club will extend its hospitality to ladies, instead of Thursday, as the last named day is already pre-empted by several popular diversions.

(By WILLIAM MELLS WATSON) At its meeting last Monday at the Y.W.C.A. the Western Federation of Tennis. Clubs dropped the Lake Elainore Clubhouse plum like a long-fingered school boy breaking loose from a hot potato. The plan was put on the rocks when it was shown that the little 87-mile jau- would separate the clubhouse seek- ers from too many shekels for trans- portation and that many of the so- called locals, after borrowing the one-way fare would never get back to the home fireside; also that the outings would draw too heavily on Lizzy's gas consumption. whereby she might flunk out at the half-way bridge, so the scheme was declared null and void. Fed's Hands Full However the Fed is already loaded down with labor getting the July 4 Pacific Coast Tennis Tournament in line, as this is the biggest thing of its kind ever put on by the race west of the Mississippi and is certainly an adult's job to manage. Ladies May be Served The awful squawk sees up by those of the sweeter disposition and fairer apperception no doubles matches for their sex were provided in the schedule of play, July 2 and 4, caused the committee on arrangements to scratch vigorously their raven locks and finally decide to insert women's doubles, provided enough of the dear darlings will submit to being harnessed up in tennis regalia, this means that if eight or ten of the local crop of pretty mammas will lay by about 35 washers for a week's visit to the Frisco Bay district, all will be jake. Fed Falls With Ax The six "bad pay" clubs, the Alpha, East Side, Ajax, Alpha Tennis and Outing (of Seattle.) Omega and Santa Monica clubs, were not cut adrift for failure to "ante up." as was expected, it being deemed advisable to give them a chance to ship their back dues of two cart wheels to the Fed within the next 30 days. The two "sweet women's" organizations, the Blue Triangle (Y.W.C. A.) and Alpha Parthenia, the Panache Club (of Oakland) and the West Side, are square with the ledger, until July 1, 1922, after which they will have 3 months in which to decorate the treasury with another pair, for the next fiscal year. West Side Anxiliary. A Cream Puff brigade was suggested to be organized as an auxiliary to the West Side Club, which should stimulate members of the Omega Club, most of whose male members have already enrolled with the West, Side Club. If this is carried through, the West Side Club and the Ladies' Auxiliary of that club will hold two courts, 1606 W. 35th Place and 36th and Denker, which is but two blocks apart. Alpha Not Dead Yet It was most agreeably brought out (contrary to popular opinion) that there are exactly 16 reasons why the Alpha Tennis Club is far from turning up its toes. First of all, over one hundred metallic rollers, all club's property, are carelessly reclining, while drawing 4 per cent at the Hibernian Bank, which at least 15 of Alpha's 38 members ("on the book") propose to protect. President, Albion Dunbar Matthews; Vice President, Ballinger Pressley Kemp; Secretary, Charles Andrew Black; Treasurer, Chester Arthur Williams; Court Manager, Philip Le Bron Davis; Referee, Ernest Lee Bynum; Press Agent, William Mells Watson; Eddie Nathaniel Harris, Joseph Alfred Balch, Paul Revere Williams, Joseph L. Olver, Elroy Dunton Lott, Morgan T. White, Harry C. Patterson and Henry Jones, or in other words, just 15 dependables, comprising (with a little shaking up) one of the strongest bands of young men in the West. Matthews Home, March 2 Every man of the above is expected to be in the club's next regular meeting night, Thursday, March 2. at President Al Matthews' wiwam, 1226 W. 111th st., phone Bdwy. 523, at which time Alpha will complete its share of arrangements for the July 4 tourney, at Frisco. As a flock of Alpha members are to take the flight north a rousing meeting is sure to take place. BASE BALL "OLD TAYLOR" SUBMERGES MEUSELITES SATURDAY, 5-4; JEFF DROPS SABBATH TILT, 5-2. Young John Taylor stepped back into the limelight by putting a hairline decision of 5 to 4 over on Irish Meusel's major Leaguers, last mopday, at the river district ball garden before a huge swarm of regulars; but a bitter taste was shoved into their mouths at the Sabbath meeting when big Sam Lewis tied our pets into slip knots and stood them on their ears with a 5-to-2 walloping. An Errorless Meal By dishing up a fawless brand of pastiming the Bear Cats, with Taylor's slipper working like a new Ford were unbeatable. Saturday. Carr Smiths Chevette When mighty George Carr came up in the lucky 7th, the thing stood 4 everybody, but when he busted one out to the Angora goat district of centerfield, the olive took a tail spin high over Emil Meusel's feverish dome, while George trotted home with the day's winnings seeped up in the lining of his blouse. Bob Meusel Smacks Jimmy Hard Had not Robert de Meusel and his older brother Emil whacked a blow each in the 4th of the Sunday turtle the thing might still be going on 2 to 2—who knows? But Jeff broke his pick trying to strike these birds out and they got away with the gum drops Series Stands 4-8. Our race leads now, holding a 4-3 leverage on the big leaguers, and are out to take the final two battles Saturday and Sunday. 9 Men Face McNair During the last three reels just nine of the big brush athletes looked at what McNair had to offer, and exactly, that same number failed to touch first base, as he had 'em swinging like pivot gates.

The heavy rainfall last Wednesday failed to halt the mighty crowd that collected at the Pacific Coast Amusement Co.'s, padded mit arena to yell through six of the classiest fistic attractions to be found any- where in the Southland. The Main Attraction Ted Frenchie (colored) 155 pounds, vs. Victor Alexander (colored.) 190 pounds—draw. The Prelims Young Walcott (colored.) 155 Young Johnson (colored.) 155 pounds—Johnson won by toss of towel, 2 rounds. Panama Battler (colored) vs. Tervy Adams (white), 145 pounds— Adams wins, 4 rounds. Young Sam Langford (colored) vs. Babe Flores (Mexican), 122 pounds —Langford won 4 rounds. Kid Jelly Roll (colored) vs. Big Blue (rolered), 150 pounds—Draw. Kid Tampico (colored) vs. Big Blue (colored), 150 pounds—Draw. won, 4 rounds. Referees—George Rivers, preliminaries; Rufus Cole, main event. Announcer—Billy Tucker. Vic and Ted That Victor Alexander—Ted Frenchel return battle was a deeply rooted grudge fight, pure and simple and probably the most fiercely contested scrap ever staged in this city, both the unequally matched colored battlers are confident that he is the other's master, and oh, how hard they have tried during their two squabbles to demonstrate game with the slumber swat. While Vince won a close decision a week ago, Ted showed up .25 per cent better last Wednesday and earned a good draw verdict. Four times during the gruelling affair did the big 190-pounder slam his heavy right to the game middle-weight's jaw, but always before he could finish. Ted with a repeater the smaller man hugged lovingly until he thoroughly re-collected his thinking faculties and equilibrium and then Frenchie would even up matters with his famous one-two shift which usually unsteadied Vic considerably, but lacked the stiffness to keel him over. Although Frenchie, in both struggles landed two blows to Vic's one and possesses a wonderful fighting heart, the old, old adage still holds good—"no good little man can whip a good big man," (on his merit alone, barring chance shots) and it is but a matter of time, should they meet again before the chesty little Ted must caress the canvas—provided Victor proves that he is a "good big man," which so far he has certainly failed to do. Race Lada Open Show A pair of colored middles raised the curtain and looked good for a minute or so, but Young Johnson was soon seen to carry too many guns for Young Walcott and drained enough claret out of the latter's beezer to float a sub boat up until the third, when Walcott's kind-hearted handlers presented the ref. with the old mop rag. Second Act Terry Adams, a white boy, successfully attacked a foreign-born colored lad, the Panama Battler and won after four of the most strenuous spasms of whaling and cuffing. Both young men trying to stow his opponent away, but Terry succeeded in raiding a large knot over the foreigner peeper and drew a plint of cows from Panama. In the third, a leaf head opened a bad looking cut on Terry's right cheek. The judge's decision to the white lad was just, and popular with the crowd. Sam Victor Over Mex. Sam Victor Over Mex. A Mexican called Babe Flores, who fights at Doyle's occasionally and knows the game 'well', learned several new wrinkles' when Young Samuel Langford had wound up with a four-round win in one of the best battles of Sam's meteoric career. The Vernon performer was a tough bird or he would have been smeared along the canvas long before the final end came, as Langford was sending home lives and rights that should have spattered an ordinary middleweight, but experience saved the Mexican time and again, as he held on for dear life, and was so wild that he took a couple of pokes at Referee George Rivers, in his wilderment. At that the final bell saved him when in Sam's corner, he was being battered 'down', blow for blow. Langford is now, after fighting 10 battles in the city, the best bantam ever developed here, and having lost but one, should, at the rate he is going, be up among 'em before long if not carried too fast by his advisers, he will-make most of Jack Doyle's main eventers take low now and we expect to see him there before long. Fourth Swatfest Colored 150-pounder, Big Blue and Kid Jelly Roll pulled on a great draw battle; Blue, being a short, huge-shouldered, dark lad with a wiry mulatto, built along the lines of George Rivets, who was almost 100 years old. George rived the sting and thereby failed to be victorious against the mauler. More Sweet Charity True as the announcement by Bilyl Tucker that the Pacific Coast Amusement Company's weekly events were held more for sweet, charity than for financial gain, the big crowd contributed $22.22 to help a lady of the race who is a tuberunar, back to her Tennessee home. ```markdown ``` Billy Kane, one of the best lightweights in the city, danced around Tampico Kid, another colored lad, during four rounds, to an easy victory. The Race lad with the Mexican name, and long, shaggy hair, was no match for Kane, only in ducking and dodging into stiff lefts and right hooks. During the closing session, Kane landed 7 times without a return. Tampico's judgment of distance was poor, and although willing, he could not land. Next Week, Rain or Shine As the leaking sky has no effect on the drawing power of the Wednesday night skirmishes, a good card will be staged regularly despite weather conditions. Rube Foster Re-elected President of March 18, 2014 The third annual meeting of the National Negro League and the National Association of Colored Professional Baseball Clubs, ended Saturday last, at Chicago, with the unanimous re-election of Andrew Rube Foster as president. for the third time, the election of C. I. Taylor, owner of the Indianapolis A.B.C.'s, as vice-president; J. L. Wilkinson as corresponding secretary and A. R. Foster as treasurer. The disbanding of the, Columbus Buckeyes, the changing of the Cuban Stars to a road club, and the passing up of the city of Cincinnati as a league town, the admission 7 into the league of the Tate Stars of Cleveland, Ohio, and the Keystones of Pittsburg, the sight of the St. Louis people to keep a league team in that city, the placing of Joe Green's Chicago Giants and the Bacharach Giants of New York, as affiliated clubs, the biggest trades of the entire history of baseball, were among some of the important things put over at the meeting. Lloyd Goes to N. M. Lloyd Goes to N. M. John Henry Lloyd, once equal of Hans Wagner, as shortstop, manager of the Columbus Buckeyes, during the 1921 season, goes to John Connors, owner of the Bacharachs. With Floyd goes LeRoy Roberts, pitcher, and High Pockets Hudspeth, the long-armed, lanky, and bag watchman, Jess Barber, outfielder of the Bacharachs will sport a Detroit unie this year. Bruce Petway takes over management of the Detroit Stars, in the place of the veteran outfielder, Pete Hill. Way back in Philadelphia last Thursday night, Spike Boyer, in the first round of a 6-round match, kneeded out Sailor Miller, who never regained consciousness and died within a few minutes; both the Race men were Philadelphiaans. In Newark, New Jersey, last Friday, Jack Johnson was pitched for driving the ball $2,000 on an on the wrong side of a rollaway car while rushing to a theater where he was appearing in vanderville. Jack handed over a ring $50 bill to insure his appearance in court. It is announced that a miscue on the date ledger caused the postpone- ment of the Ritz Club's opening classic at Blanchard Hall, watch for the novel affair. Lincoln Giants Scheduled for March 4-5-11 and 12-13. At White Sax Court Two weeks after Irish Meusel and his terrible band of major leaguers leave the city, the far-famed Lincoln Giants of New York are expected to weigh anchor across the local stream for a four-fame clash with Jim McCarthy. The stumped stampede of fans will be, either inside or outside the lot. Carroll Leads Attack. Billy Carroll, former manager of the Alexander Giants, is guiding the destinies of the prospective visitors and writes that his club is scheduled to play at the following towns: Tucson, Arizona, Feb. 18, 19; Glendale, Arizona, 22nd; Phoenix, 20 and 26; Los Angeles, March 4, 5, 11 and 12; Sacramento, 17, 18 and 19, and Oakland, April 1 and 2.

One reason for this is their inability to forget tradition. Another is their religious belief. This has been a serious handicap to their progress. However, they are gradually changing and are falling in line with the other nations who are going forward. The Negro has had many handicaps, some of which he could not help and others that he could easily help. He should be much farther ahead in the field of art as well as in other lines. The value of art as a means of bringing nations together, was not a topic that was given consideration at the recent conference, but it is of great worth. The value of art as a medium for the promotion of harmonious relations between our race and others, has been recognized, but has not been encouraged to its full extent. Our greatest handicap has been ignorance. We still lack training, experience and development. Amplification, the motor power, is a stranger among us. We, too, are held back by religious beliefs. In taking up the white man's religion we took also; many of his puritanical, self-imposed restrictions. Adding to this more restrictions of our own, we were soon bound hand and foot with chains of our own farging. Happily, the newer generations are breaking the links of these self-imposed retardations and like the butterfly, they are emerging from the chrysalis of ignorance and superstition, into the bright sunlight of thought and intelligence. In music, our students are not willing to study long enough before they clamor for the applause of the public. They seem surprised that they are not given an artist's recognition. It is also very hard to interest the young men in real music. Young girls scream away their fresh, sweet voices until they become harsh, and then they begin to study. The race is not fortunate enough to have patrons of art who spend their money to further its cause. The example of Mr. Clark, who gave us the Philharmonic Orchestra, has no parallel among our people. The race public in general takes little interest in things artistic and thus, the race student is somewhat handicapped. However, we are awake and moving along. Conditions are improving and the outlook is good. As usual, though, we wait for the other race to start things and then we tag along behind. How long shall it be, before we are able to start an art movement, foster it, support it, and recognize its worth? We would say to the public: Do not puff up the race student by calling him professor or her a nightingale. Worse still is use of the word "black" in connection with some famous person. Rather learn to know the true worth of their development and give due recognition of the same. Encourage talent and hard work. Read, study and listen yourself that you may be able to judge intelligently. Otherwise you handicap them from the start. We would say to the student: Do not be misled by the applause of the crowd. The greater the applause the more you need to examine your work. Only great artists are able to deserve great praise. Remember that the higher up you go, the harder you have to work in order to keep your place. You are expected to make great sacrifices for your art and you will get out of it just what you put into it. Your teacher is able, only to point the way. You must do the grinding alone, and you will find that many good books have been written about your art that will help you to understand what your teacher has been telling you. Hear good music often, else how will you know it. Beware of your friends! They will tell you that you are simply wonderful. Don't believe them. This is one of your worst handicaps. Criticise yourself severely and work, work, work. That is the secret of success. All authors of literature are requested to meet Wednesday, February 15, at 8:15 p.m. to organize the "Live Wire Authors' Association." A. L. Porter, organizer, will state his plans and tell what the race needs in Los Angeles. Eight authors are now concerned. Remember the time, also the place, 1507 E. Adams. Phone 24374.

Speakers of note will address the gathering. Musical numbers of the best local talent will intersperse the program. The public is invited to attend. A banker of note will also address the body on a matter other than the program.

In stentorian tones his voice thun- dered throughout the world for freedom and liberty. It was Douglass, who once said in a great public speech at a public meeting in New York: “The colored race will not crawl in the dirt forever. ’It is honorable to do whitewashing, but there is no reason why my people should do that and nothing else. The day will come in which they will be found in all pursuits, achieving distinction and showing capa- bilities which they were never supposed to possess.
