Grand Rally for Eastside Mothers Club, Sunday, at the Forum PHONE 150-44 Volume Thirty-Six Grand R MRS. MARKHAM IN ORGAN RECITAL The overflow crowd at Wesley Chapel, Tuesday evening attest the fact that Los Angeles is beginning to realize that it has diamonds of its own. The occasion was an organ recital promoted, conducted and executed by Mrs. H. W. Markham who demonstrated that vested in her are all the powers of a great organist for beneath the touch of her well trained and sensitive fingers the great new pipe organ that shall hence forth enchant the goers to Wesley, pealed forth in strains that were at intervals plaintive, pathetic and violent. Mrs. Markham has had less advertisement than many considering the fact that she not only possesses marked ability as an organist, but likewise staying qualities that characterises her life from maid to matron. Before coming to Los Angeles Mrs. Markham was for eleven years organist of The Trinity A. M. E. Church of Houston, Tex., and has served Wesley for fourteen years. Those who ably assisted Mrs. Markham, Tuesday evening were: Mme. Mari L. Jackson, Soloist; Mme. M. O. Bowers, Reader; Miss Uvila Range and James B. Warren, Violin. RACE MUSICIANS MAKE DEBUT BARTOW DUNCAN AND MAR- SHALL CLOYD IN JOINT RECITAL Many musical lovers will have the opportunity to hear in a joint recital two of our coming instrumental and vocal artistry in Bartow Duncan and Marshall Cloyd. Thursday evening, December 14, at the Pasadena Y. M. C. A. This is the first appearance of these musicians together and should prove a high class evening entertainment. Bartow Duncan has been studying the violin for ten years and has been under the skilful direction of David Mannes for the past five years in New York City and he should be fully prepared to render the very best in his line. This is his first appearance in the West. Marshall Cloyd, a lyric tenor, is considered by many critics the finest in the West, and is a former student of John Smallman, the celebrated "coast teacher." Mr. Cloyd's first appearance was at the 1st Congregational Church, 9th and Hope streets, a few months ago and which was highly recommended by those who attended. SAMBO WAXED FAT AND KICKED BACK The above will be the subject of an address that will be delivered by Dr. Charles Stewart at Hamilton M. E. Church, E. 18th and Naomit Sts., Friday night, Dec. 15th. Dr. Stewart is the Missionary for the Baptist Church and is the only Colored man in the United States who is a full fledged member of the Associated Press. As a lecturer and writer he is a genius of four sided ability—He can make you laugh, using the common phrase, until your sides crack; cry until you are limp; think until your head aces, and regret, but with the determination to take a new hold on life. In other words every word picture painted by Charles Stewart is life size and to read after or hear him speak is mental rejuvenation for the old and inspiration for the young. And you never tire hearing Charles Stewart. ANITA PATTI BROWN IN FAREWELL RECITAL Anita Patti Brown promises to leave Los Angeles smiling on the evening of Tuesday, Dec. 12th at the St. Paul Baptist Church, 21st and Neomi where she will appear in farewell recess. Those who have heard Patti Brown prior to her European trip realize that just now she is at her best, tones surer, manners easy, technique natural, and pets perfect—Hear her. BARTOW DUN By: JOHN A. GRAY One of the greatset complaints of the Negro is, that he does not have a chance. That if he were a member of the other race his chances for success would be easier and that he would get more credit for what he does. It is time that this form of reasoning should be changed. For in truth—the Negro has today a greater chance of being recognized than any other individual in any other race. We mean that the little that he does stands out in bold relief from that of the masses of his people and attracts attention much quicker. For example—Gilpin the actor, of "Emperor Jones" fame, is known, not only by the theatre-goers of both races, but by nearly every other group of people of both races. Bert Williams was another example. These solitary figures are noticed, not only by what they achieve, but also by reason of their race. Again—a Harry Burleigh—a Clarence Cameron White—a Florence Cole Talbert, etc., is forced much quicker into the limelight and at much less expense than persons of similar attainments among the other race. There are hundreds of musicians among the other race whose abilities and attainments are far greater than anything that our race has ever produced and yet—they are hardly known. Why? Because of the lack of dollars necessary to properly advertise and push them forward. It takes money to keep the name of Mary Garden, of Mischa Elmcn, a Clarence Cameron White—a Florence But our folks know very little about press agents, managers and a dozen other things that are necessary. We get recognition from the very start and keep it because there is little competition. You ask—why the need for complaint? That is easily answered by the following reasons. First—Our people are not able to appreciate the higher things of life. Secondly—We are not able to discriminate between what is good and bad. Third—We lack racial pride and either underestimate or overestimate our artists. And all of these reasons can be summed up in the word ignorance. We are not able to appreciate our own because we lack training. It takes generations of training along artistic lines to produce a group of people who thoroughly understand and know Art. It takes training to be able to tell just what is right or wrong with a work of Art. It takes training to develop a racial pride that will make us support and propagate our own and stop wishing that the other man would put down his own and give ours a chance. Why should he do what we do not do ourselves? Through ignorance we often praise that which is inferior and condemn that which is superior. We have no standard of measurement except that of personal likes. Yet—we must make a place for our own. We have a grat inheritance in our music and folk-songs. We have contributed more to the nation along primitive lines than any other group. We must develop our birthright and support our artists. The need now, is for teachers and more teachers, whose main idea is to develop appreciation among the masses and foster deserving talent. In time we shall have enough supporters and sympathizers who will be able to understand and promote musical development. Let our artists remember also, that to blame the public for not appreciating their work is not quite just in this age. They must teach as well as perform. Classes in appreciation should be formed and even in their fecitals, a two words of explanation will greatly help their hearers to understand what is being done. We musicians are responsible for the growth and development of music among our own people. Let us make a place for ourselves and be proud that we are Negroes, because our chances for success are much greater and easier without money than our fellow musician of the other race.

Ghurch Eighth and San Julian Streets Tuesday Eve., December 12th, 1922 Admission 35 Cents MME. ANITA PATTI BROWN-LYRICAL ORIGINATOR In the popular Methodist Church, presided over by Rev. Ward, at the Corner of Eighth Street and Towne Avenue, there was a lyrical reminiscence of song and grace, of good diction and exquisite ladyfied manners, as were distinctively typical of the high-artistic ingenuity of Madame Anita Patti Brown, who gave to her large and charmed audience the very best that was in her fine, vivacious personality. She is, indeed, a diva of sweet lyrics, a genuine Prima Donna of rare talent, such as the race has not shown with the only two exceptions, the old pioneer-singer Madame Sisleretta Jones (Black Patti) and the latest The Assisted At We Tuesday E new star, Madame Florence Cole-Talbert. In artistic technical sure-footedness she possibly leads them all, whilst in sweet, bewitching magnetism, it may be that Madame Florence Cole-Talbert may have just a shade the better of her. But both, Madame Anita Patti Brown and Madame Florence Cole-Talbert are wonderful singers and it is almost a sentimental crime to draw a comparison between them as both are so very good and grand in their lyrical emissions that they run neck to neck and step to step as well as hand in hand, in about a close equality of genius and a direct unity of greatest closeness in ability. A noticeable feature of the lyrical feast was the eloquence of grace and the depth of a real noble heart, when Madame Florence Cole-Talbert demonstrated her great admiration for Madame Anita Patti Brown's incomparably wondrous art by applauding her stronger and longer than anyone else in the audience. That in itself was the greatest tribute that could have been rendered to the remarkable song bird that halls, as she stated with modest dignity, from Georgia, and the writer feels that this warm demonstration of love and appreciation on the part of the able home singer for the equally able singer from the LL CLOYD IN JOINT far South may lead to a joint recital of these two wonderful singers, before Madame Anita Patti Brown will leave Los Angeles. Such a dual treat, of the two greatest living female race singers of America would be artistically charming and financially well paying and it would be a very lucky undertaking, if it could be arranged promptly. Madame Anita Patti Brown has a dulcet voice of rare soprano altitude and it reaches the most sensitive cords of every listeners' heart. She is a born singer, but has received very careful training, as her charming, non-plussed, always ready personality proves beyond a doubt. She is big enough to sing in the largest theaters in America, if the mad cracker-prejudice of our disgraced country was dead, buried and unknown. She has an abundance of culture, a wealth of fine concert-stage manners and is a very broad-minded woman who knows what to say and to do at the proper time. She evidently has gained greatly in experience as well as in artistic progression by her recent European trip and in a neat address that she interspersed between her wonderful sing- Bridgetower Trio IN CONCERT by Thomas Johnson, Lesley Chapel M. E. G. Eighth and San Julian St Eve., December 1 Admission 35 Cents ing confirmed the contention of the writer that capable artists of the race should go to Europe, if they have the means and the friends, as the old country will do just the opposite thing that color-crazy America is doing—for Europe will receive the black artists that foolish, sleeping Columbia rejects. What, Madame Anita Patti Brown said of European appreciation for our meanly insulted Black singers must have struck a hot tempest in the heart of Madame Florence Cole-Talbert, for this new artist can never find justice in America, no more than her gifted friend, Madame Anita Patti Brown, until Europe holds a big, artistic club over the lynching head of prejudice of America,—after she has crossed the ocean as her older sister did!— It is a sacred duty of every Negro artist of rare ability to throw down the gauntlet of battle to American infrance and American color-hate and transfer their wonderful abilities to other countries, thus depressing them American stepmother that rejects them of their genius and giving to other lands, that receive them with open arms, their talents and their ideals! This is the best and the only way to punish a country, that rejects, humili T RECITAL, THURS. ates and actually boycotts its greatly gifted Black artists!— Madame Anita Patti Brown is a lyrical pathfinder, a singing originator in more than one way. On Monday night she sang in 4 languages, in American, in German, in French and in Italian, thus proving that in language songs she excels with grandeur and proficiency. Her German song "Du Bist Die Ruh" elicited the greatest applause of any of the foreign songs, proving both her, big broad-mindedness and the noble temperament of the intelligent audience. Her program was rich and choicy, containing 14 numbers, all of which, excepting one, were rendered, but in addition three voluntary encore numbers were given willingly in response to the clamorous, enraptured and lovable audience. Miss Nathalie Doxie, her dainty accompanist that gives loyalty with the Madame, was an exquisite playing assistant and as a humorous character dellenator this young girl dazed the house with two numbers that were rendered in most capable style. Between Madame Anita Patti Brown and Madame Florence Cole Talbert we leave it to the Gods to make their choice!— rio , Baritone Church eets 12th, 1922 SALES REPORTED The Citizens Home Investment Co., S.

Mr. and Mrs. McCauley are very pleased with their purchase. DEC. 14—Y. M. C. A. COMMENTS. The Third Internationale in session at the city of Moscow, Russia, has, according to the Associated Press dispatch from that city, passed a resolution declaring, that as the United States of America is the center of Negro culture, it must play an important part in the struggle of the African race for liberty. The Communist, it is stated, will use their influence to have all of the Trades, Unions, and if necessary will undertake a special campaign to achieve this aim. The resolution further states, that the Negro population of Japan, China, India, and other countries are having the same struggle against oppression as the Negroes of the United States. That last paragraph will prove a surprise to the most of us who were of the opinion that we were the only race who were fighting an uphill fight. We wonder if it is the aim of the Caucasian to drive to despair the darker races of the world and thereby create the greatest holocaust that the world has ever witnessed. Every action of those who are in power tends that way. Let us hope that before such a catastrophe befalls us that the teaching of the lowly Nazareme will have so sunk into our consciousness that the "Fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man" shall become a reality. —Clemenceau— When the United States was an embryo nation and the life of the revolution hung in the balance. Benjamin Franklin was sent to France as an emissary to create a friendlier feeling between the countries and seek the moral and financial assistance necessary to carry on the struggle against England. Benjamin Franklin succeeded in enlisting the sympathy of the French nation and they contributed greatly to the outcome of the revolution. Today France sends her emissary—Not official—to bring before the American people the necessity of a closer co-operation of the nations for the peace of the world. While the mission of the aged French patriot falls on sympathetic ears, there will be no promise given either direct or indirect of any aid whatever. We appreciate the loyalty of the fighting ex-Fremier, who is for his country, France, first and last. The masses of the people sympathise with him; but, remembering the admonition of the "Father of our country", we must steer free of all entangling foreign alliances. Death of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. Dead, Dead; DEAD! As we predicted in our comments of a previous issue, the Dyer anti-lynching measure which passed the lower house of congress, and was made the political football of the upper house, has, like the Liberian loan, been referred back to the committee without recommendation. The opposing Democrats have been assured that the bill will not be called up at this, or any succeeding session. Thus is a humanitarian measure sacrificed upon the altar of prejudice. The Southern senators threatened to hold up all legislation until the bill was withdrawn. So well was their filibuster organized, that it was possible for them to do so. It is to be regretted that a handful of retroactive politicians, should be able to show to the civilized world, that after all, the show window of America is dressed in good words and selfish deeds. It tells civilization in flaming letters that the civilization of the United States has not moved one pace ahead of the savages which they conquered. That believing in the burning and torturing of human beings they would no act seeking to remedy it. It was no strange thing: nothing of a progressive character ever came from below the imagery line of Mason and Dixon. They killed the law prohibiting child labor, they have been antagonistic to every progressive measure that has been put forth by the present administration, in fact the southern contingent has sought to impede all legislation showing progressive tendencies. It is a sure and potent fact that any legislation that tends to ameliorate the condition of humanity is progressive; and that, if for no other reason, the Dyer bill would have received the opposition of the senators of the South. There is no use to whine: whining never accomplished one thing. The Negro of America is progressing. $2.00 THE YEAR Numbe Thirty-eight eForum MENTS. Some may decant on the ignorance of the masses, but, and we ask, Who is responsible for the ignorance of the mass? That is not hard to answer: The men who defeated the Dyer bill are responsible for the mass of illit- erates who are mainly in the rural South. Now is the time to show the mettle that was shown by our fathers at Wagner and Port Hudson. But our fight will be with brain not bullets. Let us hold up to the ridicule of the civilized world the iniquity of the South. Let no stone be unturned to acquaint the world with the condition existing in the southern portion of the Republic. Let us get closer together, stop our exploitation of one and the other, and close up our ranks for the common good. Perhaps, after all is said and done, the defeat of the measure was beat, that is if it will teach us to be more self reliant. May be that it will drive a little political sense into our heads, and sweep away some of the demagogic cowebs. The friends that we have, let us grapple them to our hearts with books of steel. Let us seek to make new friends; but above all let us strive to help ourselves while asking others to assit us. To those who think that we are whipped in this struggle, let us answer in the words of the immortal John Paul Jones, that, "We have just begun to fight."

WINS FROM WILBERFORCE 6-0 Game Sold, Rumor By: A. MOORE SHARON Before the largest crowd of football fans ever witnessed on Wilberforce Campus Thanksgiving Day, West Va. Collegiate Institute wins from Wilberforce 6-0. Both teams showed wonderful form, with West Va., playing in her own territory all during the first half. The first half ended with neither side scoring. Both teams back fighting for supremacy. After 10 minutes of hard scientific football tactics, West Va. succeeded in "connecting" a clever forward pass. The kick for failed. Ten minutes before the ending of the 4th quarter Capt. Tupp, All-American End, 1921, who an account of an injured hip received in the Lincoln-Wilberforce game some weeks, was unable to begin the game saw that there was a chance for his team to win. He immediately, though injured, took his position at left end. From then on it looked as though Wilberforce would turn the tide. Tripp lead his team to within 3 yards of the West Va. goal. Failing to carry the "pigskin" over. The Whistle blew, ending a hard fought struggle. After the game the report began to be circulated that Stout, Quarter Back for Wilberforce had sold the signals and plays to West Va. for $2.00. Stout was a former player on the West Va. Eleven. Last year the writer of this article played with Wilberforce, and during the game with West Va., it was noted that West Va. knew as much about Wilberforce signals and trick plays as did Wilberforce. At that time one of Wilberforce's "star" half backs was accused. It is noted that this same half back has failed to appear in the regular line-up this year.

TO HI8 DICIPLE, ALDA: BARAN P. BYER. - Your kind. ‘and wélcome letter to hand. Please accept my . hearty thanks for your intetest in'the work of the Muslim Association, and that of India. : i And now, a few words concerning our Muslim Religion, which so very few persons in the Western World really understand. The word Muslim is an Arabic word which means, A follower of Islam. And Islam is the Religion which was preached by the Holy Prophet Moham- med, who appeared in Arabia over thirteen hundred years ago. It is the last of the Great “Religions ‘of the World, and it can also‘ truthfully be said, it was the first: in other words, The Alpha and Omega of all Rell- gions. According to the Qur-an, (the Holy Baook revealed to Muhammed, may Peace, and the Blessings of Allah be upon him,) The Religion if Islam is in its conception, as wide as human- ity itself. It did not originate from the preaching of the Prophet Huham- med, but it was equally the Religion of the Prophets who went before Him. Islam was the Religion of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Jesus, and in fact, the Religion of every Prophet of God who appeared if/ auy part of the World, % The Holy Prophet declares that he is not the, originator, but’ the latest Exponent of that, Divine System which was perfect at His advent. The Natural. Religion of jevery human child born in the world. Islam is the Nature created by Allah, (Allah mens, The Only~ One God) in which Nature He made Men. ‘| There is no altering of, Allah's Crea- tion, for that is the Truo Religiaa see, Quran. Chapter. 30. Vre. 30. Now, since according to the Hély Qur-an, Prophets ‘wer raised among different vations, in different ages, and the Religion of every erue Pro- phet wan, in ite pristine purity. néne other ¢han Isjam, the scope of this Religion in the true sense of the word, extends as far back and us as wide as Humanity itself. The fundamental prinefpals of Islam always rematn the same. The accidents, changing with the changing needs of Humahity: The latest plia$é of Islam is that which made its appearance in the world with the Advent of the Holy Prophet Muhammed. (may Peace, and the Blessing@ of Allah be upon Him) A Muslim, according to thy Holy Qur-an, is he who has made his peace jwith his God and his fellowman. Peace with God implies, complete sub- mission to His will, Who is the Source of all Purity and Goodness, and peace with ‘man implies’the doing of Good to one’s fellowman. Islam Abolishes All Invidious Class And Colour Distinctions, indeed, one jot the Beloved Followers of the Holy Prophet Muhammed was of African descent: his name is Balal. | The aim of the Muslim Association of, America is-to sppread the know- ledge of the true Religion. “THE MIRRORS OF HARLEM” NOW READY.

' COMMISSION RANKS LINCOLN UNIVERSITY AS AN APPROVED COLLEGE. Lincola University, Pa., Nov. 24th: ‘The recent action of the Board of the Association of Colleges of the Middle States nad Maryland adds one more Negro institution of higher learning to the list of accredited col- leges of the Middle Atlantic States. Today. on the occasion of an ad- dress to the students of Lincoln Uni- versity by Hon. Roland S. Morris, Ambassador to Japan under President Wilson, George Johnson, Dean of the College of Lincoln University, an- nounced that Lincoln had been recog- nized as‘an A-1 institution. On Nevember 20th the commission on institutions of higher education of ‘the Middle States, comprising New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Del- aware, District of Colambia and Mary- land, took action to include Lincoin University in its list of approved col- leges. The Association gave their approval of Lincoln University and their, re- cognition of its degree only after sev- eral months of searching investigation in which the quality of the Class-room work, the standard of admission and the facility for carrying on strictly college work were given the fullest examination. The Dean pointed out that the’ sig- nificance of this action is that credits and degrees from the institution will be recognized as on a par with those of Columbia, University of Pensyl- vania and Prinston, the leading in- stitutions of the country. —i.

Peoples Press Service. Looking over the general dispatches from Washington it is found that a wounded Negro soldier desired to ask a certain eminent Senator a question, whereupon it is said that great excitement prevailed in the Senate Chambers. As it is said the dignity of the Senate was so maddened upon, and one Heffig who by the way should be in prison is sent with a deadly weapon, insult the Senate had been insulted. But that as it may, the main thing with many people is not a question of the dignity of the Senate or the Senators, but "What was the question Lowery wanted to ask Senator Hitchcock" and will the Senators after all be compelled to answer that particular question. It will be recalled that a certain soothsayer once upon a time, desired and did attempt to tell the great Julius Caesar something that really pertained to the great Caesar, not unlike the poor Negro soldier in the Senate of the United States, he was hustled away by synephants. But you know the story. The annual election of officers of the Negro Progressive Club of California will be held in Hamilton Hall, Geary and Stiener Streets² Tuesday evening according to notices being mailed to the members today. Mr. J. C. Rivers, grand chancellor of the K. of P. lodges in this State has signified his intention of being present at the Entertainment and Dance to be given by th Negro Progressive Club of California in the Exposition Auditorium, January 1, 1923. He has made reservations for himself and Mrs. Rivers. Saturday's mail brought word from Mayor James Rolph, Jr., that he would be on hand to lead the grand march on the first of the New Year. Also word from director S. Le Protti that the music for the occasion would be the best ever. Dr. W. W. Purnell, Grand Medical director, says he is going to take Christmas dinner with the best woman in the world, his mother, who resides in Washington, D. C. and who is 78 years young. At the close of his visit in the Capital City the genial doctor will proceed to Hot Springs. Arkansas where he expects to spend the month of January in one of the general hospitals there. He expects to return to Oakland about February 1, 1923. Tried to get a line on what would be doing for the black contingent when Friend W.' Richardson, takes his seat as Governor of California the eighth of January next. Was unable to locate John H. Taylor, before this release, so nothing could be had from that quarter. Saw A. P. Alberga, one of the Richardson lieutenants and he was as mum as a clam, absolutely refused to talk. H. L. Richardson, leading Oakland attorney, was rejoicing at the development of Woolwine strength. So it will be seen that no line could be had as to what the brethren are expecting. Have not seen any of the pale-face bosss since election day, so cannot tell whether they have any Christmas pudding to give. Under ground rumors however brings out that there is a great deal of jockeying going on, and desperate efforts ar being made to land several places. Out at the Negro Progressive Club headquarters all that could be learned in this direction was that they were working on several things to lay before the next legislature. One of the surprises of the last election was the fact that there were no non-partisan leagues or clubs functioning. We wonder what has become of them. Hardly had the election closed before we read of President aspirations. New clubs are being formed and organization work is going forward looking to the selection of the next President of the United States. Would you believe it.

We worshipped in our new church home last Sunday morning. Every body agreed that it was the largest morning service we have ever had. A large number of visitors and friends helped to make the occasion a success. Forty-two communicants parook of the Communion. The offering was very good. We hope to have our Sunday School completed by next Sunday and the painting of the building is on the way. The pastor and members feel under deep obligation to the friends of different churches for helping us in our two nights entertainment from which we realized a nice sum. The Mission is now one of the real institutions in Los Angeles to help similar ones to lift up the standard of Christ and the uplift of our people and community and not to tear down. HAMILTON M. E. CHURCH— Cornel 18 st. and Anevie Ave. Rev. S. M. Beane, Pastor. The pastor occupied the pulpit at the morning and evening services and administered the communion of the Lord's Supper.

We had a full and wholesome day's activities at the Christian Church last Sunday. The pastor inspired his audience with an able sermon at each service. The subject Sunday morning, "The Relationship of the Old and New Testaments to Each Other." This discourse was a real instructive one and was made still more interesting by the large chart that was placed on the wall. In the evening, "Behold The Laws of God." The Sunday school and the catechism under the lookouts of the Holling and Lim churches were held in the new cess of the day. Just after the morning service, Mrs. Kathrine Kieth, our missionary, had a rich and rare meeting with the missionary workers. The choir with Madame Viola Harris Brandon as its directress as usual furnished an inspiring musical program. Tuesday evening our choir chorus under the direction of Madame Brandon spent an evening at the Latter Day Saints Church (white)-in a concert. The pastor-and members of this church were loud in their praise of the evening's entertainment. After the concert the pastor of the Church ordered a liberal offering to be contributed to our work. ST. PHILIP'S CHURCH, EPISCOPAL 1527 Paloma Avenue. In response to the request of a few church people who had come to Los Angeles to settle, the Bishop secured a lay reader in the person of Mr. E. Williams to gather together the small flock. Meetings were held in cottages, halls and homes under the supervision of the Rev. T. C. Marshall. On the first day of February, 1910 the present priest in charge arrived to take charge of the work. His first service was held in a room of a house 1427 E. 14th Street (still standing) and when this no longer could accommodate the faithful few, we were transferred to a hall on 9th and Wilson street, that site being now occupied by the Neighborhood Settlement. In July the same year the priest secured a lot and in November following laid the corner stone for a small church building which was ready for occupancy on Christmas Day 1910. Many of the faithful who saw that corner stone put in position or today rejoicing over our growth and reaping their reward. This building now needs enlarging to accommodate a growing attendance and many improvements are necessary to make the worship of Almighty God more decent and orderly. The estimated cost is about five or six thousand dollars. We are trying now to accomplish this under the help of Almighty God. W. T. CLEGHORN Priest in Charge . BIRCH ST. CHRISTIAN CHURCH F. C. Cothran, Minister. Union Thanksgiving Services held in this church Thursday 11:00 a.m. with the Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church, was indeed praise worthy. The Misses Rachel and Cornelia Edwards, of the Congregational Church deserve creditable mention for the most admirable manner in which they sang their duet. Our own Mrs. Jesse Strider sang by request, "In the Garden," and "God will take Care of You," with telling effect. Sister E. E. Lightner rendered the music for the chorus by the Union Choir and congregation; and there were spontaneous expressions of thanks from different speakers. Rev. E. E. Lightner, delivered a great Thanksgiving message from the words, "What Shall I Render unto hte Lord for All His Benefits towards Me?" This, indeed, was a message of infinite value. Last Lord's Day at 11:00 a. m. Elder H. A. Sullivan, Editor of the Converted Romanist, a monthly magazine, was present with us and preached a wonderful sermon from the language of John. "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esasias." John 1:23. He made it plain that each Christian is a voice for Christ. One minister spoke at the 8:00 o'clock services upon the subject, "Baptism of the Holy Ghost and Fire." Matt. 3:11,12. He showed that the baptism to the Holy Spirit was present on the day of Pentecost at Jerusalem and on the occasion of the conversion of the Gentiles, at Caesarea. Acts 2 and Acts 10, to and that the baptism of Fire is to come upon the chaff or wicked. Mrs. Minnie Thompson sang a beautiful solo, "Hold thou my hand dear Lord." Ladies of the church are elated over the pleasing results of the Thanksgiving dinner. Every body's happy. We expect you next Lord's day. Our prayer meetings on Thursday evenings, are full of life.

THE FIRST BAPSTIST CHURCH FURLONG TRACT. The First Baptist Church of Furlong Tract Pastored by Rev. A. T Hines, an energetic, efficient young minister of the gospel, is doing great things down in his vicinity. A two weeks church school drive conducted by Mrs. Eva Overr-Solomon, director of religious education for the Western Baptist Association met with astonishing success resulting in the addition of 145 new scholars. Mrs. Solomon is making visits to the respective churches in turn, but up to now the new scholars attained at this church has not been equaled, yet most of the schools visited are larger. The Sunday School under the leadership of a most splendid intellectual personality, Mr. Prentice Brown, is making rapid strides to become the banner school of the state. Mr. Brown has put this shoulder to the wheel and the persistence he possesses, with the hearty and pleasant cooperation of the Pastor: teachers and those newly inducted into office bids fair to makek a mark not easily equalled in church school activity. The work accomplished was the result of the Campaign and survey committees who worked harmoniously. have shown themselves so much Activities that once were dormant aright, and the church officials are so jubilant over results accomplished, that plans are on foot to erect a Ten Thousand Dollar Edifice to house the increasing membership. Pledges have been made to be paid weekly go as not to be a burden to any. To further consume their plan the third Sunday in March has been designated as the day torale the pro rata. The most pleasant feature of it all is the hearty response from the members and the unanimity of support given the Pastor, who can meet with no failure with such attributes. Rev. W. E. Shaw. Pastor. Residence 1217, Paloma Avenue. Rev. Shaw without question preached two very able and digestive sermons on last Sunday. Fortunate indeed were those who heard him.

Matt. 5:23-24. The evening text: 2 Cor. 12:7. "There was given unto me a thorn in the flesh." The subject was "Temptations and How to Meet Them. Rev. Shaw sets a standard for righteousness.

The pastor spoke at both services. On Sunday morning the pastor spoke on the subject, "Shiloh's Coming, It's Results". This indeed, was quite interesting and many things were said which were helpful. Sunday night the pastor spoke on the subject "The Lost Sheep." Quite a large congregation was present. Conditions are improving and we are looking favorably for St. James to do a greater work for the Master this year than in years which have passed. We solicit the prayers of all for our success. R The big garage of C. E. Pearl on Ninth Street at Central was visited on last Monday night by ye hold up man who proved to be a burley, shaggy white tramp, who produced a .38 automatic and told Earl, A. Cook, who was on watch, to stick 'em up, and then commanded him to open the cash register and dish out the contents, all of which Earl, little Earl, obligingly complied with for the gun was upon him. The loss is reported at some $1500.00 more or less. However, this sortie was not without its humor, for CITY B For Bargains in Hou ments For S G. W.

The Pasadena Hi-Y eleven after a stubborn and hard fought gridiron battle won the annual Thanksgiving game against the local Hi-Y yam. The contest was staged at the Pasadna High school field. Coach "Has Davis" team outweighed the local squad fifteen pounds to the man, but the Los Angeles team outplayed and out-fought them on very quarer, which was really a moral victory for the local team. In the first quarter the spectators were thrilled by the playing of Jefferson Brown. His snagging passes and defensive playing was the feature of the game. In the first five minutes of play he caught a long forward pass and dashed down the field to his own 20 yard line. Rosser after two downs carried it over for the Y's only score. These boys worked together like a million. In the second quarter Pasadena kicked and Diggs caught it to be knocked out of his hand by one of his own men. Pasadena recovered the ball and galloped down the field for a touch down and the ball sailed between the uprights for one point which won the game. The next half the ball was punted back and forth by both teams, with little gain by either team. When the game ended the ball was found in the local Hi-Y's territory. Both teams played clean football. Pasadena made their gains thru the line and the local team by forward passes. George Johnson star fullback on the Hollywood team proved his worth in gold to the local team by his splendid defensive playing. Diggs at quarterback played the game of his life generalship was excellent. In fact whole team fought and worked together like an organized company. The Pasadena "Y" had three good warriors in quarterback, "Mark Kelly," Coburn Whiszar, and "Bob Poynter," fullback. REX INGRAM'S LATEST LOEW'S STATE THEATER The showing of a Rex Ingram picture is always a gala event and the western premier of his latest Metro picture "Trifling Women", at Loew's State last Sunday confronted in every way to the openings heretofore. When Rex Ingram turned out "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" the critics said it was the greatest picture ever made and now his latest release has received the same criticisms from the East. The story of Trifling Women," which was written by Mr. Ingram as well as directed by him, deals with the affairs of a Parisienne sorcerer, Zareda. The picture carries a strong moral message and is perhaps one of the most unusual stories ever filmed. A special presentation has been arranged by Ernest Belcher which will lend itself as a prologue to "Trifling Women." It is called the "Ballet Batik" and is done entirely by the Ernest Belcher dancers. There are ten dancers in the number, seven caryphees and three principals. Don Philippini has arranged a special musical score to be played with "Trifling Women." Y.M.C.A. What was considered to be the greatest Older Boy's Conference held in Southern California, convened in San Diego December 1, 2. 3. The co-operation of officials and the hospitality shown by the people made a lasting impression. Seven delegates from 9th Street Branch Y. M. C. A. attended the sessions. They gained an inspiration at these meetings and are enthusiastic about their future work and activities here. A program has been arranged by the Hi Y delegates for Sunday. December 10 at 3:00 p. m. at the Y. M. C. A. Everybody is welcome. The annual Future Leaders' Conference will be held on December 31, at a church to be named later. Arrangements' for the program are already under way. This conference should be the best yet. The V. M. C. A. desires to heartily thank the public for its earnest support in making their Thanksgiving charitable effort a tremendous success. We especially wish to thank the churches and ministers throughout the city for their co-operation in permitting us to present our four-minute speakers in the interest of the drive. In those churches where no four-minute speakers were featured, it was not because we did not have the cooperation of the church and pastor, but because we had only a limited number of speakers. We also wish to thank Miss Gladys Harris, our own service worker, for her ready assistance, as well as all others who donated their services and machines. Through the co-operation of all, we were able to extend our benevolence to approximately 150 people, and into the homes of more than a score of mills where no doubt the spirit of Thanksgiving festivity would not otherwise have been manifested.

By Idell Albrighton. Nobody seemed to care or seemed anxious except that he should go—that is as far as we knew. So the Levo operator still continues to operate. Every now and then his fingers cease their tapping, he is seen to stare longingly to the wall like East—and that is all. Not even another word about riding. The Society Editor was found and returned. He requested that he be seen to learn that if she like him and in need to play the role, Monday it would be to see her. The officer wrote: sons he refused to remove his hat. He sat himself down, declared himself on duty. Never seemed more comfortable. His eyes he cloud for rest or languidity rolled in the direction of any remark addressed direct. His voice became croaky, his speech irregular and missing then silence. SUDDENLY with one leap he was up. Flery his eyes as he glanced at the clock. Hasty his fingers as he grasped his wallet from the desk. He was gone. Nor could eye discern or mind conceive—so quickly he flew. Prayers, prayers, supplication, entreaties and more prayers, he must be Catholic or near kindred for "Shorty" the printer certainly believes in prayer. The prayers of, the righteous, the good, the good anyway "Shorty" was saved from any possible error. And all his prayers were over the well being of a Protestant, ant record that it should be kept without blemish. I want to speak to Mr. Bass! came the imperative tones 'or the wires, busy Friday afternoon. He's very busy just now could I take the message" the Secretary asked. I want to speak to Mr. Bass, Mr. Bass"—I say he is busy, can't—No, you don't understand. It is Mr. Bass I want." So it was that Mr. Bass indeed was her aid from the Lyno where he was earnestly trying to relieve the Lyno-operator. She will be convinced that Managing Editor, The "know everything," Secretary told her that the skirt was out of date. A bet was on a fashionable tailor should be the judge." He could a tailored skirt be out of date? Besides they are wearing flares now." "But argued the Secretary they are really circular cuts not simply wide skirts fashionable in the forties." The Secretary however was willing to be dragged to the tailor judge. "Is this skirt out of date" revolvingly asked the Managing Editor. "I just want to know to convince this young lady." "Why-er yes it is somewhat too wide." replied the astonished tailor timidly. But not really out of style." Pleaded the Managing Editor. "Yes Madame it is out of date!" firmly now the tailor. O! all right meekly submitted the Managing Editor. CHAUNCEY ALSO IN LINE Everybody knows Chauncey, who is one of the landmarks of Central Ave. And to know Chauncey is to like him. For dispute his handicap of body, he will not be denied and makes his own way. He sells the daily papers at 9th and Central. A few weeks ago an auto ran into Chauncey's old desipated stand and completely wrecked it, and through the goodness of heart of the man who wrought the same, has made and presented with the greatest and best appointed little stand in the city and Chauncey is as proud as it is possible to be and everybody else is proud of Chauncey good fortune and will just keep on buying their papers from Chauncey. JINX PURSUES HIM Burglaris visited the home of Rev N. P. Greggs on Thanksgiving night, gaining entrance through the window sash of the kitchen proceeded to ransack the house.

Washington, well-known and veteran real estate man was the victim of a reckless auto driver on Wednesday night on the radiator and caught through the radiator and carried 100 feet more or less.

COLORED CHORUS SING FOR WHITE AUDIENCE Well, we told you last week if you were not present Sunday evening last to hear the negro chorus you would miss a treat, and you certainly did if you were not there. There were 22 of them, accompanied by their pastor, Rev. Mr. Mitchell. They rendered ten numbers, some of them consisting of the old Southern melodies that just made the shirrve clap up your back and filled your heart with joy, such as: "Lord, I want to be a Christian in my heart." "I couldn't hear nobody pray," Wrecks along the way," and "Every time I feel the spirit," etc. Special mention is due Mrs. Maybelle Hebert, who sang, "My Task," and Mrs. May Williams who sang "Rebuke Me Not, Oh Lord," both of which selections were admirably as well as ably rendered. The chorus was ably directed by Mrs. Viola Brandon with Miss Swanson at the piano. It was manifest to all that the leader had her chorus well trained as the program passed off without a hitch, and was very much enjoyed by a large audience, due to both the ability manifested and the unique program rendered. At the close of the musical program our pastor invited the Rev. Mitchell to preach for us, and he did no very acceptably. These people should be judged not by the height to which they have attained, but by the depths from which they have come. AP W. CHAMBLEOR, Secretary.

MORRIS HARRIS SAFETY FIRST CHECK. While those who are wont to disparage the effort of any man who visualizes and has the temerity to use his brain which was given him, this young man Morris Harris turned a deaf ear and he kept right on until he has brought forth what should undoubtedly be a boon to the public and that is the eradication of the check civil. It is claimed for this check that it is all that it implies and with its use in the banks of the land, check forgeries will be unknown, insufficient funds will be a thing of the past for this Safety First Check absolutely blocks the way for the pernicious crooks who specialize in issuing checks without the mazuma to back there, up. HAS REACHED LOS ANGELES! We have on our desk an application blank from the Civil Service Department of the U. S. Post Office of this city and on this blank after all other questions have been asked is the question—"What is your Color?" Now what we want to know is what has color got to do in making an application to take the examination for Clerk-Carrier in the Los Angeles Post Office or for any other position for that matter? We have always understood that the Civil Service was based upon merit and upon competitive examination. Since color has come to the forefront we might inquire how many points can be obtained upon color and which color will gain the highest standing? To us it looks like this feature which was put in vogue by the Wilson administration for the first-time is being passed down the line by our great Republican administration guided by President Harding. VANGARD OF FREEDOM ON THE WAY. On last Wednesday at the Santa Fe depot there were twenty-five hardy sons of toil who have wrought all of their lives as producers from the soil of the earth in Southern climes, below the Mason and Dixie Line. Under cruel oppression they labored on and on, the more they produced the more settled become the conviction that on their native heath they could never enjoy real freedom. Then there came a day when their leaders went forth and in Southern California and Lower California was a land which would produce and at the same time real freedom was to be had. This condition brought these hardy pioneers to the above station on last' Wednesday; they had their eyes set on Lower California and freedom, nothing could swerve them from their course, they were on their way to Lower California and to freedom. They go to prepare a way for the forty and four thousand who are to follow, they are the vanguard for a new era and to become a warrior and servant of the future.

All eyes are now looking toward Sacramento to catch a glimpse of Governor elect Friend Richardson as he prepares to swing his mighty axe. The Rev. Bob Schuler of Ku Klux praise with his dream to unhorse Woolwine is bringing up the rear. Bradley Martin balls may be alright and we certainly have nothing to say against those who delight in this diversion, but the same energy centered on real production would be a boon for the material advancement of the Negro race. That the Negro refuses to be hog tied to the Republican Party was demonstrated in the recent election in the State of Delaware to the utmost. Senator Pat Harrison, W. E. Borah, et al could not stand for even the rumor that Emmett Scott and one or two more, including the Hon. W. H. Lewis, ex-U. S. Assistant Attorney General should get in on the Liberian loan to the tune of $600,000. We have not by any means dispaired of crystalizing into proper shape a real effort for a real harmony and get-together feast. In fact it would be a great impetus for greater affairs for the incoming year, 1923. Every train from the East at this time brings to these shores people of all stations of life who have read and heard of this wonderland. Sunny Jim Coffroth.of Tia Juana fame seems to have the Indian sign on all contests which are single handed, for it appears that he still reigns in his realm of sportdom. Perhaps a dearth of candidates for the City Council means a deluge of aspirants for the mayoralty. Politics make strange bed fellows as evidenced by the slashing fight which Virgil Williams formerly of this city and who was a bosom friend of Lou Anderson is putting up against him in Chicago at this time. May we ask what's it all about? NO TRIMMING OR BACK-TREADING HERE. The people of the Pacific would not really appreciate the Soaring Eagle and the service it renders if they did not note the fact that we have trimmers, back treaders and apologists for those who would deny the people Justice as well as they have those who will fight and endeavor to discredit anybody or anything which stands for real progress. The case in point is the apology made for Judge Walton Wood in a local weekly published in this city. Last week we called the judge's hand on his unusual procedure, when he humiliated a woman in his court by upbraiding her, and suggesting to her that she should not go into any white restaurant to eat. We hesitated not but spoke right out as we felt in the premises and still feel that way about it. We did this and would do so again even if her husband and all his kin had tried to go into the Judge's Chamber and talk to him, who's he that he cannot be talked to? In slave time the one who riveted the shackles more firmly upon the limbs of the slave was what was known as the switch, the 'white folks Nigger' who kept the masters posted on all the inside dope which perchance it seemed they were about to break their chains they went post haste to tell their master. We have another species in this day and time who are the real weights on our progress, and here they come in their masked faces, making an abject apology and condoning the great injustice which a Judge had the termity to inflict upon a woman because she wsa a member of a darker race. We plainly stated that the case was under advisement and we will always have a sneaking belief that the "Nothin' Doin'" sign would have been up had not the old trusty Soaring Eagle screeched. In a case only last Summer Judge Albert Lee Stephens gave judgment to the Managing Editor of this paper for $500.00 in a case not near so aggravated as the one before Judge Walton Wood. Apologize some more, brother! BERT WILLILAMS STILL LIVES Hert williams, the Greatest Colored Comedian the world has ever known still lives in the hearts of the music loving public through those beautiful melodies so delightfully sung by this great artist throughout the length and breadth of America. Modern science has perpetuated and transmitted to unborn posterity all of the native comedy, melody and logic characteristic of the race through the wonderful invention of the Phonograph. Some of the songs as sung by Williams—"My Last Dollar," "Somebody," "Not Lately," "Ten Little Bottles," "You Can't Trust Nobody" may easily be classed among the songs we can never forget and should be found in the homes of every member of the race.
