THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE Dr. DuBois Heard in Los Angeles PHONE 150-44 VOL 38 DELIVERS LECTURE OF SIGNIFICANCE TO THE NEGRO "THE BLACK MAN IN THE WOUNDED WORLD." By: D. L. MITCHELL Dr. W. E. Burghardt DuBBoIS, scholar, writer, indebtable fighter for inter-racial justice, spoke before a large and responsive audience at Trinity Auditorium on Monday night, February 26th. The subject of his, discourse was the "The Black Man in the Wounded World." Rr. DuBois began with mention of the fact that ten years have passed since he last visited the Pacific Coasten ten years traughed with epocal events in the world's political and economic history. He then pointed out, with great force and clarity, the conclusion to which the trend of these events so saliently points, namely, that the existing hatred and strife between races and nations is not based fundamentally upon whim or prejudice. The basic causes are purely economic. The world's workers, the masses of people, black, white and yellow, are but pawns in the far-reaching fingers of imperialistic statesmen and rulers. They, in turn, are showed hither and thither on the great chessboard by the Masters of Capital, who control the earth's natural resources, and control the masses of men—that is, the labor wherewith to exploit these resources. The speaker then gave his audience a resume, masterly in its terseness and vividness, of the World War year by year, from 1914 to 1918. It is still to review these events". Dr. DuBois continued, "but, in addition to these well-known facts, another stands out clearly: namely, that in this war was discovered a curious world-unity. Early in the war, the consensus of opinion among Colored peoples was: 'If the white people wish to fight—let them fight. We are outside of it.' In truth, we were not outside. Had we been, we could not have remained outside. We were a part of that might conflict. We were in almost every phase of it. "First, let us consider France. The French Republic wields political authority, over 43,000,000 Colored people 20,000,000 blacks, 23,000,000 Asiatics. Of these, 1,000,000 came to France in the war. Of that million, some 709,000 came as soldiers. One hundred twenty-five thousand were full-blooded Negroes from Central Africa. These men came with, heart-searching on their part, and on the part of France. Men said: We must not bring Africa into this war. Economic conditions in French Africa will be disorganized. New, strange, and dangerous ideas will be put into the heads of these black men. "Therefore, in spite of the dire need of troops, the number of Africans enlisted was kept down by law, and it was confidently believed that in a short while it would not be necessary to have more than 50,000. "At the first battle of the Marne, these African units were hurled against the German forces—as shock troops: men almost without arms, men knowing little of modern "civilized" warfare, men sent forward to be killed. The troops that followed were compelled to climb over the hems of African dead. "Another incident demonstrates the fanatical bravery, the unparalleled loyalty, of the black troops. A bat talion of Senegalese was urged at at the head of a French force against a division of the invading army. They were not armed with modern accoument, but carried their native weapons. German commanders demanded surrender. Then arose a ferocious war-cry in an hundred different dialects, resounding over the battlefield. The Africans rushed full at the German foe, cut, killed, malmed . . . until, at a distance of fifty yards, the German artillery opened fire. When that fire ceased, not a black man was alive on the field. "The same type of men showed their mettle at Gallipoll, when the allied forces were endeavoring to take the Dardenelles. One typical incident reveals them as they were—crazy, but tremendous. It was necessary for one section of the French army to communicate with another, on the opposite side of a bare expanse of plain, burning under a merciless tropical sun, and exposed to the even more cruel enemy gun-fire. A French Officer attempted to cross; he crawled on his stomach—much killed. A Bengalese soldier was ordered to take the message. He started. They told him to crawl. He walked upright, but did not move. England declined; this was a, white man's war. In 1916 England reconsidered, and decided it was not solely a white man's war, and invited the volunteers over. These men from the tropics arrived in England in midwinter, and were put into barracks too cold for the Scots. They died of the "Flu" by hundreds. One ship went astray and its human cargo was dumped at Hallifax in the dead of winter. Meanwhile, in England the problem presented itself: and with do with the troops, they became as soldiers. England decided to use them as laborers. At the same time, German dispatches after Verdun tell of Black troops among the English at the Somme. England said she had no black troops. In truth she had no black troops; she had black targets. More men perished among the blacks, in proportion to their number, than among the whites. "Others were sent to Egypt; there arose dispute as to what they should be used for. Eventually, some of these black troops were sent to Bagdad; others helped to capture Jerusalem and Mesopotamia. At the time, these loyal subjects of the British crown were not allowed to become officers; they did not receive the pay of white privates. "In this country, black men, as a part of the all-embracing economic organization, were automatically sucked into the whirlpool. They could not go as white men had a chance to go. The Negro had no opportunity to ask whether the war was right or wrong. As he went in, he could only say to himself: If now I do my duty toward America, it is possible America will do her duty toward me. It was so in previous wars—the Revolution, the war of 1812, the Civil War, the Spanish-American war. "At the same time, you will recall the opposition to the formation of the 15th New York Regiment. And when America entered the war, that regiment was put to drill in Harlem with broomsticks. They essayed to send them to training camps. They went—and came back. Three times they started for Europe, before they finally got there. And what then? The regiment had some Negro officers.' White American officers did not want them. "It was in December, 1917, when this regiment landed on the shores of France—at a time when one soldier was worth ten. This regiment became expatriate. It was taken over of the American army and put into the French army, given French food, French bread, French arms. And this is the regiment that at one time stood between the Germans and Paris. Although there is no record of this in the reports of the American armies. At the second battle of the Marne, in the army under the command of Marshal Foch that hurled back the Germans, curiously enough, there were five regiments of American Negroes. The 8th Illinois—all men and officers black, except one; the 371st and 372, in the Argonne; the 368th and 372nd in the Argonne; the 368th that broke the Hindenberg defenses. "I have dwelt on these facts, not because they are pleasant—the they have to do with war, but that we may arrive at a clearer understanding of the problems coming after the war." The problem before the leaders of the white peoples see it, is to restore pre-war conditions; to once more reduce the alleged "inferior" Colored races to their former status of instruments of exploitation for the aggrandizement of white imperialists and the enrichment of white capitalists. "The problem before the leaders of thought and action, of these Colored races, is to see that this is not done; to protest so loudly and effectively that it cannot be done. The solution of the problem for the Colored workers of the world lies in education and economic independence. By the light of understanding, the need for economic independence, through knowledge of the technical means of controlling the forces of nature (the means by which the "civilized" white peoples, though inferior in number, hold the darker races in subjection) will be clearly seen. Selfishness on the one hand, ignorance on the other are at the root of inter-terial discord. To bring about peace and harmony, men must first speak to Dr. DuBois, to allow their greed for tea and coffee, ivory and mahogany, to stand between them and what they know to be justice to all mankind. "In case the Turk declares a Holy War, the majority of the dark races, including a large proportion of the Negroes, will be involved in war with the white races." averred Evangelist O. A. Troy at the East 36th Street Church, last Sunday evening in his illustrated lecture.

PROMINENT DALLAS PHYSICIAN HERE Dr. Charles L. Morgan, one of the leading physicians and surgeons of Dallas, Texas, is a visitor in Los Angeles. He was hurriedly summoned to the sickbed of his mother, Mrs. S. Morgan, of West 30th Place. Mrs. Morgan has greatly improved since the arrival of her son. In the meantime, this turn for the best in his mother's life has come too to "look about," and he presses himself as delighted with the climate and natural beauties of Southern California. In fact, were it not for the large and well-established practice which the able physician has in his home city, and the fact that Mrs. Morgan, his wife, a music director in the Dallas City Schools, it is more than probable that he would establish himself permanently in our OTHER RACE APPRECIATES GIRL FLYER MISS COLEMAN SPOKEN OF MOST HIGHLY Editor California Eagle, Dear Sir: Doubtless you and your readers are already familiar with the sad accident which has befallen Miss Bessie Coleman, who has attained so high repute as an aviatrix, and has done more than any woman of her race (and probably more than but four or five colored men) to raise the status of the colored race in America. Miss Coleman has an international reputation as a flier. She was born in Texas 23 years ago. She has recently returned from a most successful tour of France, England, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland and Germany. She bears credentials from the French Aero Club, and from the Deutsche Luft Reedeler. She has made about fifty flights all by herself over Berlin, one of them for the Pathé News, and is the only American flyer who has flown over the ex-Kaiser's palaces at Berlin and Potsdam, and the only woman possessing an international license entitling her to make flights all over the globe. She has the distinction of flying the largest plane ever flown by, any woman in the world. She was invited to fly at the American Legion Convention last year, at Kansas City, in the presence of Lloyd George, Minister Briand of France, and other world notables. Her race should be proud of her accomplishments, as she is the only colored, woman flyer of her race in the world—and there are no colored men flyers at all. And with all her hard work and her great record of accomplishment, she has always borne her race in mind and worked for its advantage. One of her plans for the future is the establishment of a school of flying especially for colored people. Arguing from the fact that the colored race is noted for furnishing a high average of skillful chauffeurs, Miss Coleman is of the opinion that, properly trained, they should also furnish a majority of successful flyers. Miss Coleman is at present in the hospital at Los Angeles, suffering from a broken leg and other injuries incurred when her plane took a nose dive during an exhibition flight she was making for the movies near Los Angeles. The chief unfortunate part of the distaster is that her work for her race in establishing this flying school is thus delayed, as much by lack of funds as by her personal injuries. She will be perfectly recovered in health in the course of a few months, but worry over financial matters is likely to hold her back, as her return from Europe was too recent to permit of her having accumulated a reserve fund. The Coast Tire and Rubber Company feels a personal interest in Miss Coleman, not only because she has been the instructor of Mr. Robert Paul Sachs, director of advertising for the Company, but because she volunteered to distribute Coast Tire advertising literature from the clouds in the exhibition flights she had planned throughout the Pacific Coast. On hearing of her accident and the circumstances under which she was in the hospital, a subscription was taken up for Miss Coleman in the offices of the Company, with a gratifying result. We feel, however, that the colored people of California should have opportunity to rally to the assistance of so representative a member of their race, and testify to her her appreciation of what she has already done for them, as well as endorse her plans for the future. C certainly no more laudable object for their testimonials could be coveted. We have no doubt but that the loyalty of the colored people will lead them to liberal contributions and give evidence to the friends of their race that they have enthusiastic solidarity of feeling and action when any representative colored woman or man needs their support. It is important that as many individuals as possible be represented in this subscription, and it is therefore hoped that various colored organizations, churches, etc., will take the master up and start lists. However, those who wish to contribute direct can send their contributions to Miss Coleman, herself, care of the Hospital at Santa Monica, near Los Angeles, California or to Mrs. Melba Stafford, 939 Willow Street, Oakland, California, or to the California Eagle who will forward them without delay. Come forward Promptly, and come big! Very truly yours, Ralph P. Sacke HARDING HAILS CONFEDERACY By: CHANDLER OWEN Note well the following: HARDING PRAISES "DIXIE" FOR RECONSTRUCTION WORK Set Fine Example for War-Wasted World Today, He Says New Orleans, Feb. 15.—The people of the South in ac- complishing the re- construction after the Civil War "set the finest example that could be urged upon a war-wasted world today," President Harding de- clared in a letter made public last night by Captain James Dinkins, chairman of the committee in charge of arrangements for the annual reunion of the South in accomplishing the reconstruction after the Civil War "set the finest example that could be urged upon a war-wasted world today." President Harding declared in a letter made public last night by Captain James Dinkins, chairman of the committee in charge of arrangements for the annual reunion of the United Confederate Veterans in New Orleans in April. "The men of Lee's and Johnson's armies went home to their tasks of reconstruction," the President continued, "with hearts of courage and purpose of determination to overcome all obstacles; to deserve the good will and the help of others, by proving their own good will and by helping themselves to the utmost of their capacity. "They had earned the respect and regard of their opponents on the battlefield. They earned it yet more completely and completely their conduct afterwards, and in earning it, they insured not only the Union's restoration, but its advance to that place which it hold in the family of nations." One reading the preceding report would be inclined to suspect that John Sharp Williams, Hoke Smith, or James K. Vardaman was president of the United States. He would feel almost sure that it was the babbling of a Southern Democrat. What does President Harding mean by saying, "the men of Lee's and Johnson's armies went home to their tasks of reconstruction with hearts of courage and purpose of determination to overcome all obstacles; to deserve the good will and help of others by proving their own good will?" And also "they earned it completely and yet more emphatically, by their conduct afterwards." After what, does President Harding mean? Says he, "after they had earned the respect of their opponents on the battlefield." Let us examine the truth of this statement. What are the facts about Lee's and Johnson's armies? What did they attempt in Reconstruction? All responsible historians know that the Confederate soldiers returned to the South determined to accomplish by force or fraud, in civil life, what they were unable to accomplish on the battlefield. They were determined to overcome all obstacles, it is true. But what obstacles? The obstacles they were trying to overcome were the obstacles that stood between them and their re-enslaving the Negro. They enacted the Black Code and Vagrancy laws; they prohibited Negroes from working at skilled occupations, on the ground that this was a whiteman's employment. Negroes were forced to till the fields, and to do what was known as "peculiarly slave labor." Those same Confederate soldiers organized the infamous Ku Klux Klan, which killed nearly 50,000 Union soldiers. Northern white teachers who went South to instruct the freedmen (and the Negroes themselves) were also nutlessly murdered. So determined were these unregenerate Confederates to defeat national will, that the 13th,14th and 15th Amendments had to be passed. Nor was this all. The South finally had to be divided into five military districts, in order to enforce some semblance of respect for life and property. So sympathetic a historian of the South as Woodrow Wilson takes complete exception to President Harding about the South's good will. He said the South was simply an "un-reconstructed edel," inclined to do only that which it was forced to do. Moreover the Confederates had not earned the respect of their opponents on the field of battle. They had shamelessly killed prisoners that were taken. Who does not remember the battle of Fort Pillow and Colonial Robert Shaw? Does not see the Great Harding shaw that the Klan of Reconstruction days was simply the reorganized Confederate army? Does he not also know that Congress had to institute an investigation of these unappealable fonds. and finally disband and extirpate the whole organization. Does he not know that Senator Reverdy Johnson of Maryland, a distinguished Confederate lawyer, employed to defend these midnight assassins, was so overwhelmed by the evidence presented against them that when his turn came to address the court in their defense he severely denounced them? What justification then, can there be for praising Dixie's reconstruction work is President Harding' catering for the Ku Klux nomination for the presidency in 1924? And is the race between himself and President A. Lawrence Lowell of Harvard University? UNEARTHING BLACK CIVILIZATION OF PAST AGES EYES OF WORLD ON KING TUT-ANKH-AMEN WHO RULED ANCIENT LAND OF PHAROAHS SCIENTIFIC GRAVE DIGGERS ENTER SECRET TOMB OF NEGRO KING OF CENTURIES AGO. By Pedro Byers. And now, the very stones are crying out aloud, attesting the fact that, over 3000 years before the Christian Era, Black men had originated and perpetuated the most wonderful civilization ever conceived by the mind of man. Treasure estimated at $40,000,000, has already been removed from the vaults of the Negro king of Egypt—Tut-Ankh-Amen II. Household furniture, statues, and caskets, wrought of solid gold, ivory, ebony obsidian, and arrogante—paintings of battle-scenes which are attested to far excel in beauty and minuteness of detail, the very finest of Chinese or Japanese art. Most important of all to the black race today is the inscription on the walls of the treasure-chambers of King Tut-Ankh-Amen, declaring himself an Ethiopian and also establishing the fact that Tut-Ankh-Amen was the grandfather of Rameses-Rameses whom causasian writers had declared to be a white man. The period covered by the Dynasties to which Rameses and Tut-Ankh-Amen belonged, have always been admitted by archaeologists, to have been the most brilliant of the periods of Egyptian civilization; and to have produced the finest specimens of Egyptian art yet discovered. Everything found in this tomb, together with translations of inscriptions to be found in all of the vault-chambers of King Tut-Ankh-Amen and queen AnkhS-En-Amen, ought to be studied by black men and women all over the world who are interested in learning the truth about their ancestors. LAW DEALS WITH THE KLANSMEN RAID KLAN OFFICE; LOCK UP KLEAGLE Seize Literature and Charge Klan With Riot Conspiracy—Legal Battle Expected. (Crusader Service.) SPRINGFIELD, O., Feb. 26.—A legal battle is promised as a result of the arrest here of W. M. Cortner of Muncie, Ind., kleagle and organizer of the Springfield branch of the Klan Kluxers, following a raid on headquarters, headed by Police Chief O'Brien.

INTERESTING PAPER READ BY MRS. ANNIE E. JONES AT SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH The birth of Jesus is the greatest event upon record. It is the greatest link in the world's history. The night of the Savior's nativity is the beginning of a new era to all subsequent ages. The manger of Bethlehem was the birthplace of new hopes, and a better history for struggling humanity through all time to come. Our Savior became a helpless babe; took upon himself the form of a servant and was found in the likeness of mortal man, that he might fill the world with the wonders of his grace, Heaven itself with the fulness of his glory. His birth mingles the fears of helpless humanity with the brightest expectations of future happiness. At his incarnation, the star of hope like a signal light, hung in beauty and loveliness upon the eastern horizon of a dark and benighted world. In his life the sorrows of earth ripened into the joys of heaven, and in his death the shame and agony of the cross melted away into the sceptre of power and the throne of glory. Ancient sages had been sing for centuries of a brighter and better day that would dawn in the fullness of time upon their wretched race. the songs of Zion's seers, were rich with the thought that the coming of the Savior would usher in a golden age upon a world steeped in sin and saddened with sorrow. The voice of inspiration had been heard all along down through the ages, telling the advent of a great Redeemer who would come as a consolation of Israel and a desire of all nations. The first link which was clasped in the consecrated cradle of the newborn king, and the last which was riveted in an empty sepulcher of the risen Savior. Jo-ak-una^a and Anna, parents of the Virgin Mary, were among God's people. For twenty years or more, they had lived together in the highest estimation of man. Their lives were pure and faultless in the sight of the Lord. They become very rich, yet exceedingly charitable, but they mourned and grieved for they were without children. Yet in their advanced years they made a solemn vow, promising the Lord, if he would favor them with an offspring, they would devote it to his most sacred service for life. After this promise, Jo-ak-una^a and other members of his tribe went up to Jerusalem with their offering to attend the Feast of Dedication. When he went into the presence of the High Priest, he and his offering were despised and rejected, saying that it not be accepted in the sight of the Lord because he was of a barren family. He was also unjustly rebuked for appearing among those who were blessed with children. This unjust reproach brought him much shame and sorrow. He would not return home, feeling that his neighbors would reproach him in the same manner; but retired to the wilderness, where his shepherds were keeping watch over his tender flock. There he fasted foryt days and nights in prayer and supplication to his God. Now an angel appeared, stood beside him with a great light, seeing he was troubled at heart. The angel said unto him: "Be not fraid, for I am an angel of the Lord, sent to inform you that your prayers are heard and accepted of the Lord, who has seen both your shame and heard your unjust reproach for having no children. Be it unto you. The Lord is the avenger of sin, but not of nature; and when he caused barrenness or to be with out children, it was that the offspring might not be the product of lust, but the gift of his grace. The sacred messenger informed him that his wife, Anna, should bring forth a daughter. They should call her name Mary. She would be filled with the Holy Ghost, and according to their vow, be devoted to the Lord from her birth. She would be blessed above all women, remaining with her parents for three years, and her service devoted to the Lord. She should neither eat hor drink anything unclean, nor have any conversation among the common people; but be reared in the Holy Temple. That she might not fall under slander or suspicion of anything wrong, she should not depart from the Holy Temple until she arrived at the years of proper understanding. But his most marvelous revelation was, that in the process of years, this same holy Child who was to be born in a miraculous manner of one who was barren, should herself—while yet a virgin—in an paralleled way, bring forth the son of the Most High God. He be called Jesus and according to the signification of his name, be the Savior of all Nations. The sacred messenger said unto him, "When you come to the Golden Gate of Jerusalem you shall there meet your wife Anna, who is troubled that you have no returned sooner, but shall rejoice greatly at your coming. The angel then gave him a sign as evidence of the truthfulness of his words, and quickly departed. The angel then appeared to his wife, Anna, who mourned both on account of her barrenness and supposed wildhood. He informed her of the sacred message, the same as he had given to her husband, also giving her the same sign as an evidence of the truthfulness of his words, and quickly departed. Joachem and his wife met at the Golden Gate of Jerusalem; they related to each other their angel's vision. Being fully satisfied with the promise of an heir, they rejoiced and gave due thanks to the Lord, who enacts the humble and rewards the faithful. If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened In due time a daughter was born unto them, according to the promise. They called her name Mary. They made her chamber a holy place, suffering nothing uncommon or unclean to come near her. When she was three years old, accompanied by other daughters of the Hebrews, they brought her unto the Holy Temple with suitable offerings, by which their vow was perfected. They presented the little Virgin Mary to the High Priest, who received and blessed her, saying, "Mary, the Lord hath magnified thy name through all generations to the very end of time." As she advanced in years and increased in strength, she also increased in all grace and perfection. She was admired for her purity of womanhood. Reaching the period of womanhood, there came a public order to the effect that all virgins of her age should return home and endeavor to get married. The other virgins yielded obedience to this command, but the Virgin Mary said that she could not comply with the request, as the parents had devoted her to the Lord, and she had also made the promise that she would not break the sacred vow. This brought the High Priest into a difficulty. He did not wish to dissolve a vow, neither did he desire to introduce a new custom to which the people were entirely strange. Knowing not what course to pursue, he called all the principal persons of Israel together, and counselled with them as to how he had best proceed in so difficult a matter. They were unanimously agreed to seek directions from the Lord. This resulted in a call to all the marriageable men of the House of David to come and bring their rods, that he by whom the Lord would show a sign might become the husband of the Virgin Mary. So when they presented their rods to the High Priest, a Dove, advanced in age, proceeded out of the rod of a certain window and flew upon his head—emblematic of his purity. Everyone saw plainly that the Holy Virgin was to be given to Joseph. Joseph, the adopted father of Jesus, was the son of Jacob, a just man, the noblest of God's creation. Joseph was poor in this world's goods, but he possessed treasures of grace and sanctity of soul which fitted him preeminently for the position he was called to occupy. He was not the most powerful among men, but the safest; not the wisest, but the most worthy of the sons of Judah to become the protector of the Maiden Mother, and the guardian of her infant Son. Jesus. Now the long looked-for period had arrived. The world's promised Redeemer, while yet in the spirit would descend from heaven to earth, be born in flesh and blood, and die upon the cross of Calvary. The time for the Incarnation of the Savior was at hand. The angel Gabriel received the mysterious message for Earth, and gladly withdrew from the shining courts of Heaven. The celestial messenger spread his vast silvery wings, and with lightning speed left behind him the golden streets, the palatial mansions, and the pearly gates of Heavenly Jerusalem. He soon reached the end of his delightful journey with the message of mercy, and a countenance aglow with angelic joy. Descending softly through the hazy air, like a falling star, he gracefully lowered himself in the humble town of Nazareth. The heavenly messenger sought at once the presence of the meek and modest maiden, and hailed her with his mysterious salutation as the highly favored of the Lord. The virtuous Virgin was much troubled at his angelic presence, wondrous ways, and marvelous words. But the merciful messenger mildly said, "Pear not, Mary, for theon hast found favor with God. The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, the most High God shall overshadow thee. Thou shalt bring forth a Son, and call his name Jesus: He shall be the Son of the Most High God, and shall reign thru eternity, for in his kingdom, there shall be no end." She was the purest and holiest of all virgins. Believing the announcement of the holy angel, she meekly replied, "Behold the handmaid of the Lord. Be it unto the according to thy word." The holy angel quickly departed. A few days later she hastened to convey the news to her distant relatives, and to give due thanks and magnify the Lord for her exaltation in being chosen the mother of the world's promised Redeemer. Joseph, leaving his home in Bethlehem, went to Nazareth to marry his Virgin. As he went into her presence and looked upon her, he was much distressed in mind—grieved and sore at heart. Knowing not what course to pursue, he purposed to put an end to their agreement and privately put her away. While he meditated, an angel appeared to him in a dream, and banished every doubt of her guilt and confirmed every hope of her innocence, that she was still the virtuous Virgin; that her miraculous conception was by a supernatural power and the work of, the Holy Ghost. Joseph knew that his Virgin had not been guilty of any wrong. He married his Virgin Mary, whom he kept in purest chastity until after the birth of Jesus. About six months later there came a public order from the Roman Ruler that the world should be taxed. This custom on such occasion required every man to return to his native city. Joseph, with his Virgin Mary, returned to Bethlehem. When they reached the little city they found the public inn full to overflowing. They were recognized as the descendants of David, Israel's greatest king; but they could not see lodging. There was no room in the inn. They were forced at length to seek shelter for the night in a lonely, dismal, doorless, stony cell—a cave used for a stable. The time had now fully come for the fulfillment of the Messionic prophecy. The night of the Savior's birth came on in all its oriental loveliness. The ashen gray clouds began to mingle with the snowy whites around the distant horizon. The evening shades drew nearer, and a thin haze appeared like smoke of incense from off some vast altar. Over the honored city of David, the soft twilight, like silvery mist, melted away in the deep blue sky, and the beautiful stars of night as if kindled by one electric flash, burst forth into flame over the broad domains of darkness. A strange light enveloped the cave, and a signal glory veiled the canopy of the heavens. Here the Holy Virgin gave birth to the world's Royal Redeemer, wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger. For unto us a child was born. He whose throne has been exalted above all kings of the earth found his first bed among the beasts, and His first cradle among the poor. But He who was born in such an humble place on earth, lives in most exalted state in heaven where He will reign through everlasting ages as the Savior of the world. The humble manner in which this extraordinary Child made his advent into this world did not long conceal the glory of his coming. The holy angels soon made known to some honest shepherds, who were on the plains keeping night watch over their tender flocks, the incarnation of the long-expected Messiah. The celestial songs flooded the skies and rolled over the earth in richest strains and sweet melodies of heaven. The heavenly music ceased. The angelic vision disappeared. The delighted shepherds took counsel together, leaving their flocks upon the plain, they started for the search. They soon reached the cave, and beheld the new-born Babe, and offered in deepest humility, the mite and homage of the poor to the new-born King. Yet the most profound historians, both Jewish and Pagan, looked for the Savior to come as a beacon star, shining amid the sorrows and sin of the earth. But the star which guided these men of the East in search of Israel's Infant King was not one of the fixed orbs which guided the pilgrims on the land and the mariners on the deep. Nor was it one of the wandering planets which move to and fro upon the starry plain of night, neither was it one of those transient meteors which burns its light for a moment to go out in midnight darkness. It was a supernatural star which led those Eastern Sages from heathen darkness to the light of the world. It was a star brought into existence by Divine Power for the express purpose of leading and saving all nations of the earth like the pillar of fire which led the hosts of Israel through the wilderness. As this luminous star of the Savir's birth led those wise men of the East to the cradle of the World's Infant Savior, as they journeyed t moved in advance of the sacred caravan. But when they pitched their tents for the night, it gently balanced itself over their camp like a sleeping albatross poised in the heavens. Yet strange it was that the shepherds, the humble men of toil, were informed while kings and princess were left in ignorance of the advent of the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Even the devout priests, honored Pharisees and learned Rabbis knew nothing of the wonderful Babe in the Manger. When the enraptured shepherds had found and worshipped the new-born Savior, they returned to their flocks, praising God and publishing through the mountains the marvelous story of the Holy Night, and the Glory that should follow in the days to come. It ushered in an age that will be commemorated with gifts of love and songs of joy by young and old, rich and poor, great and small—being an annual event of joy to all people. For century after century the world waited nad watched for the promised Deliverer. At length he came with the message of life and salvation; he came to pay a debt he did not owe; to relieve the world of a debt it could not pay. He came to carry the world of sorrow in his innocent heart. We may thank God for the flood of joy, which flowed from the manger of Bethlehem, is wide enough to encompass the earth with its glory; rich enough to bless every human with its mercy; deep and broad enough to roll on through all time and over boundless eternity. Down through the portals of the sky, the angels flew with eager haste to bear the news to man. The world in solemn stillness lay and heard the angels sing. In heaven the rapturous song began and loud the echo rolled. The theme the joy, the song was new. 'Twas more than heaven could hold. Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth, and good will towards men! Mrs. ANNIE E. JONES. 3956 Wall Street. Back 9d by Soviet Government, Jews Have Organized Most Effective Defence.

The Sunday School was well attended, and the offering creditable. The Allen C. E. League service was interesting and instructive. At the evening service the pastor spoke from the text, "Set thin house in order, for thou shalt die, and not live." It was a mixed congregation and some visitors were present who had not been there for a long time. The Helping Hand Club has put a new Altar railing in the church which adds much to the interior appearance. We are planning to beautify the interior and exterior of the church as rapidly as we can.

Mr. Arthur White in sweet resonant tones, delightfully sang "The Lord is my Light." Mrs. Markham added to the occasion by rendering a most pleasing selection on the beautiful pipe organ. Spiritual messages poured forth from the choir under the leadership of Prof. Howard. So impressive were the services that two persons for the first time united with the church.
