Tuesday evening quite a deal of enthusiasm was manifest at the various reports submitted and addresses made. The correspondence was submitted on the coming of Prof. Carver, the noted scientist and wizard of Tuskegee. The bringing by this organization of such a genius to the Coast means much for this organization and more to the people of all classes, for his message is one for real production from the soil of the Earth. His efforts and contribution to science is excelled by no other person, not excepting Burbank, the noted propogandist of the virtue of mother earth. Prof. Clement Richard, President of the big church schools in Missouri at Kansas City, was present and made quite a pleasing address which was most highly appreciated. Miss Bessie Simon of Menphis, Tenn., who is a leader in settlement house work, extended the club an invitation to attend a mass meeting in the interest of the school at the Tabernacle Church on Hemlock St. Sunday afternoon. Mr. Williams, prominent and well-known journalist, also made appropriate remarks. A new drive for the purpose of obtaining more business for the business men of the race was suggested and met with hearty support. The fact was forcibly presented that of the $20,000,000.00 or more spent annually in this city by the race, that the concerns conducted, or those in contemplation, should receive a greater amount of this business than at the present time. NOAH D. THOMPSON LOSES FIGHT A lively tilt was precipitated when Mr. Noah D. Thompson of the Los An- A PAPER WITH A HEART AND SOUL LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, DECEMBER 14, 1923 geles Express offered a motion to endorse the message of President Coolidge, referring to his stand on the Negro. The motion, after the eloquent speech of Thompson was just about to go over the top, but shades of the brink on which the organization might land, or perhaps the memory of false pretense and hypocritical promises even in our local representatives of the Coolidge klan, could not be overcome as the Eagle Editor, arrested the question and a few pointed remarks seemed to have put a damper on the enthusiastic manifested when Thompson spoke and a motion by George Grant to lay the motion on the table was carried with but one dissenting vote and that was cast by Noah D. Thompson.

MINISTERS MISS CYNTHIA HILL Winner of First Prize PRESIDING ELDER TON BEFORE TR A. M. E. M On last Wednesday evening the trial of Presiding Elder James Washington at the A. M. E. Church began the hearing of his case. In true court style was the hearing, being conducted with Presiding Elder J. H. Wilson as trial judge and a jury of Elders of the connection. E. Burton Ceruti and Rev. James M. Brown of Pasadena represented the accused, while Willis O. Tyler and Rev. Johnson and Bryant were arrayed on the side of the prosecution. Rev. A. M. Ward was the star witness against the Presiding Elder, but his shot failed to land on a vulnerable shot; Rev. W. H. Speese was another witness, neither one of them delivered. The hearing was adjourned until Thursday night, when the prospects are that it will be concluded. A large crowd of laymen as well as ministers were present, it was no star chamber affair and Presiding Elder Wilson presided with utmost fairness to both sides. From inquiry of those on the inside and other facts the Eagle man is forced to the conclusion that it is the same old story of "Sour Grapes" antipathy and malice. Some preacher failed to get some certain brand of grapes and he is seeking revenge and hesitates not, at anything to get the Presiding Elder. Quite a hostile sentiment prevails against the prosecution in this case and all who have disclosed their hands against the Presiding Elder are encorrelated to the utmost and the pastor of the 8th and Towne Ave. Church comes in for the major share. The other fellows are considered as MRS. VIRGINIA COREY Winner of Fifth Prize R JAMES WASHING- RIAL BOARD OF MINISTERS minnows and or course nobody pays them much mind. They say if Washington had not been elected delegate to the General Conference the case would have never been heard of and that his Alternate wants to get him out of the way so he can go. This is what they are saying and they don't look over their shoulder to see who is listening when they say it. The fate of several lights in the church will rise or fall with the case. They have come to the public with church affairs, the public press is now let in, and we are going to review both men and measures henceforth, all for the bettering of conditions as they now exist. Watch the Soaring Eagle and learn the inside of the causes which thwart and stifle the growth of the Church and the present apathy in this particular denomination. MRS. M. G. PATTON Winner of Sixth Prize CENTRAL AVE. BRANCH CALIFORNIA BANK HOLDS GRAND OPENING MARKET AND PRODUCE BRANCH THE CALIFORNIA BANK GIVES GRAND OPENING ON LAST MONDAY Last Monday at Eighth and Central Avenue in their enlarged location the Market and Produce Branch of the great California Banking System threw open its doors to the public, and it was a sort of get-to-gether day. Manager J. G. Maulhardt and Assistant Manager Wooldridge were courteously escorting the patrons to all places of interest, and showing them the modern conveniences of this branch, which is by far the most pretentious Banking institution east of Main Street. The marvelous progress of this bank reads like fiction. Only five years ago its genial and most energetic and efficient manager, J.G. Maulhardt, came to its old location at 9th and Central. Under his guidance and pleasing personality, reinforced by a sunny disposition, and courtesy to all, the business of the branch grew by MALONES RETURN HOME St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 14—Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Malone, heads of Poro College, returned home last week and were given a royal reception by the members of the famous Poro College.

A source of joy came to Mr. and Mrs. Malone when they were ushered into the assembly hall was a splendid program rendered by the Choral Society and Orchestra.

At this time there was only one person employed be-outgrew its place of abode and moved to 8th and Central, and opened up in quarters which it was thought would serve it for a decade at least. Mr. Maillard. The Branch soon but the guess was far from the mark to which it grew, and the opening on last Monday was the response to the great California Bank for its patrons. Every modern convenience for banking is provided at this bank, which now employs eighteen persons in contrast with the two persons when Mr. Maulhardt took charge. The interior furnishing of this bank is on a par with any other bank in the city. The marble and glass fixtures, with inlaid tilling and frescoed walls, give it a setting not unlike Wall Street in New York. One side is devoted to the savings department, while the other is for the commercial banking. A retinue of obliging and courteous tellers and clerks take pride in caring for the needs of the customer. The branch also maintains a specially equipped safety deposit box department. We have said that the California Bank is a great institution, and a slight idea of its stability can be gained when the reader knows that the Bank Capital is $2,600,000.00, with resources of $75,000,000.00.

Hershey, multi-millionaire of Hershey, Pennsylvania, asking him to remove the color bar from his magnificent gift to the white boys of Pennsylvania and the nation. Mr. Hershey has just given his entire plant, the horshey chocolate factory, and nearly all of the rest of his fortune to found a boys' grade school and boys' home in Hershey for poor white boys. The gift amounts to sixty millions. Mr. Thomas, sensitive to the immense opportunity lost to the colored boys of the land whose needs are far greater than those of the white, addressed an appeal to Mr. Hershey. "The same Christian spirit that prompted your generous gift," the letter reads,"will. I am sure, impel you to remove every restriction based upon race or color, for the Master was no responder of persons, and His great heart went out to him whose need was greatest. While the lot of the poor white boy may be hard, that of the fortunate black boy is infinitely harder. We all hope, that you will take your little brothers in black to your generous heart." Many people in the state claim that the movement for separate schools, sponsored by the minority of Negro leaders and their followers is responsible for this P. damaging discrimination. in p private philanthropy, for the closing of so vast an opportunity as the sharing in such a huge sum as this which Mr. Hershey has given offsets whatever the colored people will get in salaries in the state. Dear Editor:-Should we not go to the colored people of the nation to get them to appeal to Mr. Hershey to let our boys share in such a blessing as this? I know you will think such an effort one of the first of our duties. Yours in His cause, NEVAL H. THOMAS. DR. STARNES SELLS THE TABLES THAT CURE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE! MR. C. G.

PLEASANT HILL BAPTIST CHUURCH Cor. Court St. and Bonnie Brae Rev. W. H. Rozier, Pastor Pleasant Hill is still in the fight against sin. The truth hurled from the rostrum is a two edged sword, cutting sin right and left. Rev. Rozier's sermons are for cosmopolitan people. All can understand them, even the most unlearned, can understand them. So full of truth and power that the most scholarly can enjoy them. On last Sunday, our church raised over $2,000 to pay a moral obligation for materials purchased by contractor Lawson, to build our church. I beg to make a word of eplanation to the public. Our church is free of debt, but the contractor fell short over three thousand dollars, and we feel it our christian duty to pay this debt, not from a business standpoint, but from a moral one. Visitors and strangers are given special attention, and are made to feel at home. A core of young women usherettes will meet you and assist you in any way possible. A good dinner is served every Sunday in the dining hall, free to all. You are cordially invited to worship with us. Services will be held all day Christmas at Pleasant Hill. Also baptismal services.

Prioleau, Pastor The stormy weather had but very little effect upon the attendance of Sunday School children last Sunday. Every teacher was at her post of duty, not leaving out Bro. Washington and Bro. Ballard. The Sunday School rally for the piano was gratifying, the amount was $15.00. The pastor preached at both services. Aat the morning service the spiritual tide ran high. "Weighed in the balance" was the theme. One joined the church. The 7:30 o'clock service was not so largely attended, but those present, expressed themselves as profited for cohoning out. Taking the lead of the Sunday School lesson, the pastor preached from Acts 8:4. Dr. and Mrs. Phelps of Pasadena, were worship pers with us. We look back upon a day well spent in the service of God. HAMILTON M.E. CHURCH Cor. E. 18th St. and Naomi Ave. Rev. S. M. Beane. Pastor The pastor preached two splendid sermons last Sunday. At the morning hour his subject was, "Worth Seeing", and at the evening worship he preach from the topic, "The Christian's Vocation". Despite the extremely windy weather a large number of auditors were present. In the afternoon the annual "Every Member Canvass" was held, when every member of the church was visited and his pledge for the year taken. It was the most successful canvass that we ever held. The World Service Program of the Church was over subscribed. Plans are on foot for the opening for a Lyceum under the auspices of the 4th department of the Epworth League. The First Quarterly Conference will be held on the 19th of the present month, after which there will be a reception tendered the new members of the church. The pastor will preach at the morning and evening hours next Sunday. You are cordially invited to be present. A cordial welcome and hand shake await you. Come and see. FIRST A.M.E. ZION CHURCH Cor Pico and Paloma Rev. W. E. Shaw, Pastor Despite the severe windy weather of last Sabbath, most church goers were found in their regular pews, Rev. Shaw preached a splendid sermon from Job 3:17. "There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest," Rev. J. D. Edwards delivered the evening sermon. It was another good sermon on "The Prodigal Son." As the holidays draw near, the spirit of good will and cheer arr manifested in our churches, Rev. Shaw, large hearted as he is, announces that on New Years Day, as on last New Year's Day, there will be a dinner provided for all poor and especially for the boys without homes or friends, also the aged and helpless. Send them over to Zion. There will be plenty to eat and to spare. The choir, under Prof. Bynum, is doing a splendid work, and on the Sunday evening before Christmas, a beautiful sacred concert will be given. A very rare treat in store. This church is a friend to all mankind, and especially welcomes strangers. PHILLIPS CHAPEL C.M.E. CHURCH 1406 Newton St. R. W. Underwood, Pastor Sunday last was unusually cold, but it did not stop the faithful ones. The pastor preached an excellent sermon at 11 a.m. Everybody seemed to have enjoyed the message.The Sunday School is growing nicely under the leadership of Brother E. B. Maxey. He seems to have a grip on the pupils. The Epworth League has put on new life. Brother Charles Cook is its first president. He understands how to make things go: with Mrs. A. E. Miller as secretary. A nice program is being rendered each Sabbath. Sunday will be a big day. Everybody invited. Sunday was a great day at this church. The pastor preached at the morning hour. The sermon was much enjoyed by those that were present. In the afternoon, Rev. J. W. Price, of Grant Chapel A. M. E. Church visited us, and preached a great sermon from the subject, "A Torch." His congregation was present and we had a great hour together. At the evening hour the Choir from the Macedonia Baptist Church was with us, and had charge of the service. They rendered a splendid program under the efficient direction of Mr. Fred Skinner. This program was much enjoyed, and the effort they put forth proved them one of the best aggregation of musicians. in the city. The Sunday School was finely attended, and the Young People's Meeting was up to its usual standard. On the forth Sunday in December, Rev. Underwood of Los Angeles, will preach for us and his magnificent choir will sing. Everybody is invited to attend this service which will be at three o'clock. The pastor will preach next Sunday at the morning and evening hours. All are cordially invited to be present. WARD CHAPEL A.M.E. CHURCH 1252 East 25th St. We praise the Lord for the excellent services at this church last Sunday. The Sunday School was well attended, lessons good and offering creditable. At the morning services the pastor spoke from the text, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth" The large mixed congregation was attentive and three came forward and joined the church. Both endeavors were well attended, the lessons were good and interest commendable. At night the pastor spoke from the text, "Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy." The audience was very attentive. We are now in revival work looking forward to the quarterly meeting. December 30th. WESLEY M. E. CHURCH 8th and San Julian Sts. Rev. A. P. Shaw, Pastor The men of Wesley and the city carried away the honors in the services last Sunday at Wesley. In spite of the windy weather the congregations were large both morning and evening. The singing of the Men's Chorus under the leadership of Prof. J. B. Jones was excellent. Mr. Leon Edwards presided very efficiently at the organ. The pastor preached a great sermon using as a text: Judges 9.54, "Draw now thy sword and slay me; that men say not of me; A woman slew him." There was not a dull moment in the evening services. Every participant was at his best. One of the features of the service was the presentation of a bouquet of flowers by the married men to their wives preceded by an address by Mr. J. W. Bryant, Manager of the married men. The space allotted us by the papers will not permit us to tell the full story of the program. You just ought to have been there. This Sunday will mark the closing of the contest. Dr. L. T. Gould will preach in the morning and the pastor will preach in the evening, at which time the results of the contest will be announced. Come and see. BETHEL CHURCH HOLDING ITS SERVICES IN THE Y.M.C.A. NINTH AND HEMLOCK STREETS There was great interest in the lesson in Sunday School. The subject, "The Outreach of The Early Christian Church", seemed to have had a special message for all Christian workers, and it was delightfully entered by all. At the 11 o'clock service Dr. preached from Psalm 50th, 23, "Whoso offereth praise glorified me." The word was with power and evidence of The Divine approval. At 7 P.M. the B.Y.P.U. carried out its program. Acting president Bass offered the timed suggestion, of going into various classes, and each class make a vigorous campaign for enlargement. The Lord's Supper was afterwards observed, and the hand of fellowship given to three. Come and go with us. Come praying for a blessing. H. D. PROWD, Pastor. BETHEL CHURCH OF CHRIST HOLINESS Rev. Wm. A. Washington, Pastor "I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord", was the sentiment of the worshippers of Bethel, Sunday; and didn't our hearts burn, and rejoice, within as the Lord spoke to us thru our pastor, Rev. Wm. A. Washington, was very readily detected in the countenance of the majority of the faces. At three o'clock we were honored with a spirit filled sermon by Rev. C. P. Jones, pastor of Christ Temple, and founder of the Holiness Churches throughout the entire nation. For evening service the auditorium was filled and the Lord blessed with showers of blessings and gave quite a soul stirring message, using as an instrument, the pastor. The altar call was largely responded to. It was quite encouraging to see souls hungering and thirsting after righteousness—and they shall be filled, saith the scripture. Our rally was quite a success. The amount raised was $200. This amount was raised exclusively by free will offering. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGREGA TIONAL CHURCH 34th St. and Central Ave. Rev. E. E. Lightener, Pastor The pastor will fill the pulpit at the morning service this Sunday, Dec. 16th. In the evening, Rev. T. J. Watson of Chicago will be the speaker.

Mr. Anthony sang an excellent tenor solo at the morning service. The congregation was given a rare treat by two excellent baritone solos of Mr. George Dewey Washington, the star singer on the third week's entertaining at Grauman's Metropolitan. The entire church is enshrouded in a mist of sadness from the death of one of their well known and faithful church workers, Mrs. Lillie Washington. Mrs. Washington was not only a front line worker, but was sacrificially faithful in all her labors, and faithful in the performance of her duties. Her presence and assistance will be greatly missed.
