Amid a Blaze of G
Under the spreading branches of
the massive and gigantic oak at the
country home of Mr. and Mrs. C. S.
Blodgett in the beautiful city of Mon-
rovia, on last Sunday afternoon, took
place the wedding of their daughter
Mary, to Mr. Charles Hobart Watkins
of Oakland, California.
No princess or potentate ever received greater homage than was paid to the bride and groom on this occasion. Amid the most unique surroundings, where, out in God's great out door, with the parents of the bride and their invited friends a most superb setting made the occasion one long to be remembered. Flanked on the right and left were orange trees laden with their golden fruit and forming a canopy over them were the branches of the stately and massive oak which had stood there for centuries upon centuries.
MR. AND MRS. CHARL
As they Appeared Immediately
Sunday Afternoon
ON COMES THE BRIDE
It was 5:15 o'clock P. M. when the
bridal procession was formed and
Mrs. Juanita Paton-Parker, in a rich
and melodious voice which rang out
clear as a bell, sang "Eternal Love."
Immediately after the song, Miss
Naida McCullough, who presided at
the piano, struck up Mendelssohn's
Wedding March and Mrs. Cecil Brussard, sister of the bride, acting as
Matron of Honor and attired in a
dress of white canton crepe, trimmed
with satin ribbon and real lace, carrying a bouquet of sweet peas, tripped
down the canvas that stretched from
the house to take her place under
the spreading branches of the great
oak tree.
Following shortly after her was the Maid of Honor, Miss Ruth Sykes, who wore a peach-blossom chiffon, trimmed in Spanish lace and carrying a bouquet of sweet peas. She was graceful and cahn in her steady march to the oak.
A brief pence, a bush, a stillness
told all that the bride was about to approach. She, like the others proceeded from the house, leaning on the arm of her father. While they approached from the right the groom, along with the Best, Man, Mr. Harry Bloedget, brother to the bride, approached from the left attired in full dress.
The bride was beautifully attired in Dutchess Satin trimmed with Pearls and wore a flowing veil of silk net with a wreath of orange blossoms, while in her hand she carried a shower buquet of bride's roses, sweet peas and naby breath. She was most lovely in her attire, and her countenance bore the marks of perfect happiness, contentment and peace; a smile bubbling over with the love of youth caused that countenance to beam.
In perfect step the four—the bride

and her father, the groom and his best man, arrived at the altar together. There, Father W. T. Cleghorn, rector of St. Philips Episcopal Church of Los Angeles, impressively read the Episcopal Wedding Service and Miss Mary Blodgett and Mr. Charles Hobart Watkins were duly and solemnly pronounced man and wife.
At the conclusion of the ceremony the bride and groom received the blessings of the bride's parents and the congratulations of the many friends present.
After the congratulations were over the bridal party repaired to the bridal feast, while the guests were served plentifully with ice cream, cake and punch.
DAUGHTER OF MR. AND MRS. C. & BLODGETT
The bride is the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles & Blodgett, well-known and most highly respected citizens of this section.

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, MAY 16, 1824
Steadily, step by step this young woman has wanded her way to the top as one of Los Angeles greatest singers.
Colored soprano to give a benefit recital Monday, May 19th at 8:00 p., at the Y. M. C. A. 715 S. Hope St. Mrs. Annie Spicer Range is a vocalist of exceptional merit and ability. She has a very sweet voice of range and power. She will give a varied program with two groups of Negro spirituals that will be sung with feeling, tone and pathos that are the natural endowment of her Race. To fail to hear Mrs. Range will be depriving yourself of a great treat.
The critics throughout the State of California where she has given many recitals all agree that she is one of the unique artists in her line. Such critics as Dr. Pease has paid glowing tributes of praise to her wonderful demonstration of musical ability. Most of her recitals have been given in the leading white churches in such cities as: San Francisco, Oakland, Fresno, and Los Angeles, and these recitals have been very favorably received.

PORO COLLEGE HEADS MAKE
$25,000 GIFT TO Y. M. C. A.
The largest gift ever made by Negroes to any special philanthropist work was the $10,000 just made by Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Malone in the $3,000,000 Building Campaign of the Y. M. C. A. of, S. Louis. When this gift was announced to the Central Campaign Committee, the Metropolitan Y. M. C. A. Director stated that no single gift in the campaign so far would be as productive of results in securing large gifts from the white people as this of Mr. and Mrs. Malone. A special committee composed of the following men visited Poro College and expressed to Mrs. Malone (Mr. Malone was absent from the city) the appreciation of the entire Campaign Organization: Byron W. Moser, chairman of the Board of Directors of the Y. M. C. A. of the city; L. C. Haworth, general secretary; Frank L. Williams, chairman of the committee of Management of the Pine Street Dept., and principal of Summer High School; Dr. J. E. Mooreland, who was largely instrumental in securing the gift: H. C. Craft, Executive Secretary of Pine Street Dept.; R. H. DePras, Campaign Director, and C. H. Tobias, Senior Secretary Colored Men's Dept. of the Y. M. C. A. In response to the words of appreciation as expressed by the several members of the committee Mrs. Malone stated that she did not regard their money as belonging to herself and husband but just belonging to God, and that instead of seeing it draw interest in the bank they much preferred to have it draw interest in human character. She stated that every time she saw scores of colored boys and girls congregated on the corners with few safeguards about them, she felt that there was in that a challenge to her and her husband.
At a mass meeting of citizens of the Pine Street Dept. gymnasium the next day, Gov. Sweet, of Colorado, was a revelation as to the accomplishments of this great order. Mr. Monroe Elgin was master of ceremonies, while Rev. J. E. McCorkle preached the annual sermon. The occasion was graced with the presence of the Hon. Thos. Glover, Past District Grand Master of the State of Kansas, who lives in Wichita, Kassas. The Household of Ruth made a magnificent showing and the sisters were the recipient of profuse cogratifications for their showing. District Grand Most Noble Governess, Jennia Bishop, of San Jose graced the occasion with her presence.
present and heard a brief statement from Mrs. Malone as to why she made her gift. The governor was so much impressed that he requested to be taken to the Purp. College after the close of the meeting. He accompanied Mrs. Malone and a party of friends to the College where he was shown through and expressed very great surprise and delight at the magnitude and spirit of this great institution.
Mr. and Mrs. Malone have been generous contributors to many organizations and welfare movements throughout the country. In 1915 they made what was then the largest contribution ever, made by colored people to any organization, namely $5,000 to the Building Fund of the Pine Sreet Y. M. C. A. Since then they have made such notable contributions as $10,000, to the endowment fund of the Medical Department of Howard University. From time to time substantial contributions have been made to Tuskegee, Wilberforce University, and Y. M. C. A's and churches in different pars of the country. They have also been strong supporters of the work of Bishop W. Sampson Brooks in West Africa and Max Yeargan in South Africa. The Colored Orphans' Home of St. Louis was built by popular subscriptions secured very largely under the leadership of Mr. and Mrs. Malone.
This gift of $25,000 shows that the Negro is developing rapidly along business lines, and that he is willing a bear his share of responsibility for the social and religious uplift of his own people. When it is remembered that a building for colored men and boys will result from the present campaign and that this will be the second J. M. C. A. building in St. Louis for colored men and boys, it is impossible to measure the far reaching effect of the example of St. Louis upon other cities throughout the country. It is certain that this will prove such a stimulant to "Y" work as was the famous Rosewald gift of thirteen years ago elected Bishop. Second ballot, Reverdy Ransom, Ney York and John Gregg, Wilberforce on third. John R. Hawkins re-elected financial secretary. Ira Bryant also re-elected.
Three cars loaded to the guards made the trip to the sites of the Castile Country Club and all came back as enthymatic boosters to the club. Measure Banks and Ingram of the Eastside Realty Company and promoters of the club are anxious for everybody to see the tract, for seeing in believing.
The following realty dealers are among the sixteen who made the trip: W. H. Gamble, G. W. City, R. L. Loggins, S. B. W. May. The following are aggents for the land, Shackliff and Loggins, F. C. Conway, C. J. J Williams, C. K. Ramsen. The Conway Realty Co.

Among the many who are hopping off on the bridal tour this season was Miss Albritton, who departed single life Thursday at high noon at the home of her parents, Jr. and Mrs. Nelson Albritton of Council St. when she became the bride of Mr. Lenard Douglass Bateman.
Miss Albritton was reared and educated in Los Angeles. At an early age when she was but a grammar school pupil, she demonstrated marked literary ability, and her writings were often brought to the attention of the principal.
Upon entering high school immediately her teachers discovered that she possessed unusual literary ability, and upon at least one occasion expressed doubt as to the originality of her composition until the young Miss was given an opportunity to demonstrate which she did to the satisfaction of the curious and ever afterwards was recognized as one of the best in her class of three hundred students (white).
Upon her graduation from the Los Angeles High School in 1915 Miss Albritton not only occupied a place of one of the A-1 graduates but was asked to contribute an allegory and a jingle in the class book.
After graduation, Miss Albritton became a member of the California Angle Staff, and immediately stepped into the light, as one of the best local writers in the West. However on account of the exuberance of youth at that time she was not quite ready to make the necessary sacrifice that a literary career demands and extracts for that ambition.
However the Literary Spark still burns and some day will fade forth in this now promising young matron. Miss Albritton is of a religious trend of mind, even the she has lived in Los Angeles practically all her life she has never been carried away with the "wilds" of the West. The public dance hall has claimed none of her time nor occasion.

world has good reason to be happy.
"No normal man can, however, be satisfied simply to work. He wants to work to some purpose and to so compilhe the largest possible result both for himself, his associates, and his company. He wants to work effectively.
"There can be no real effective work without the inspiration of that thing called spirit, which is the mainspring of accomplishment.
"Spirit is a comprehensive, vital force, which finds expression in the practical application of policies built on a platform of Christian principles, in which selfish purpose but no place.
"Spirit combines in proper production a sense of fairness, a sense deal always, both in theory and practice; a big, broad view of every problem, cutting out all narrowness and littleness; a spirit of unselfishness, loyalty, of courtesy to and consideration for the other fellow.
"Spirit is all that and more; it
that essence which is life itself,
is a distinct, vital, concrete force;
despise class distinction; it holds
fertility in men or in women,
in all things affecting life therein;
will have naught to do with common
place things, and glorify only her
highest and the best.
"It is first intangible but best
vital thing which so firmly hearts
of men that it impedes
with the inimitable Will; it
in do so the Heart of these men
and others."

“'Tis the tone*that makes the mu-
sic", say the French, and this is about
the best way of regarding it, for the
quality and kind of tone are two of
the determining factors in the applica-
tion of music.
‘Simply speaking, a musical tone as
we hear it is pitch. Pitch, is, the rate
of vibration per second of sound
waves, caused by the ocoillation of a
sounding. body. This oscillation , is
measured accurately by the number of
vibrations per second. Thus, “a”, in-
ternational pitch. is 435 double vibra-
tions per second. We hear pitch not
the sound waves. There are a number
foother things that affect a musical
tone which we shall speak of in later
articles.
The human ear can hear a tone as
low as 14 double vibrations per sec-
‘ond. and as high as 30,000 double vi-
brations per second. Age. however,
limits these high tones and the limit
decreases as age advances. Therefory
a child 16 years can hear tones about
twice as high as a man of 60 years
can hear. THis is probably due to he
change inthe mechanism of the ear
brought about by age.
A pure tone is of no practical use in
musical expression ond cannot be pro
duced by the human voice nor by the
¢rdinary musical instrument. A pure
tone is colorless, thin, and. of short
duraffon whereas @ musical tone is
rich, golorful and contains overtones
‘hicff are parts of higher and. lowe
‘tones, heard simultaneously.
‘The object then, of every performer
should be the production cf a good
rich tone. Without this vehicle no mu
sical expression or thought will be ef.
fectiye. No matter how finé one nay
Interpret nor how lofty the idea: the
message will not he delivered effec
tively unless the tone fs of a goon
rich, vibrant quality.
The manner of producing a tone de-
pends upen he instrument in question
as much as the performer. Given a
good {nstrument and a sympathet!:
player, the tone quality should be of
the highest order. Sometimes a good
perfcrmer will produce a fine tone up
en a poor’ instrument.
Tone moves, thrills, and exhilarates
by its own natural beauty and pene:
trativeness. Many a poor performer is
a success principally on account. of
he tone he produces from his instru:
ment—be it voice or otherwise, Thore
ure many good performers also, who
are failures because they do not pro:
duce fine tones.

The Metropolitan Baptist Church of this city is enjoying the greatest revival service that has ever been held since the organization of the church seventeen years ago. The meeting is being conducted by Bro. Wm. Lewis, of pational fame. So enthused over the meeting are our sister churches that our own members have to stand every night in order to make it pleasant for the visitors. And they themselves plainly say "We have never seen it on this wise". Up to now sixty have been brought to Christ among whom are many converts. Of this number fifty have been sent elsewhere. With the meeting still going on, Too much praise cannot be given Rev. W. L. Strauther, who came to us when there was no earthly eye that pitted, and no human hand did help us. But God has used this little human giant mightily in the pulling down of satan, and his stronghold in our town. He is not only a good leader, but fearless as a gospel minister, and is well trained for his task. Visit our meet nig, for you will find the old time fire and a hearty welcome.

THE PASSING OF LIEUT. JAMES
A. BOSTON
Seattle today mourns the loss of one of her most prominent and useful citizens. Lieut James Alexander, who died May 3, 1924, has served his day and generation in many and varied ways. He was honored with the rank of First Lieutenant by President McKinley, proving his worth in active service. His loss is very keenly felt at this particular time because of his unattainable labor in establishing the Marine Association. This institution has provided work for hundreds of colored families, and hss done a great deal toward opening avenues of employment that would otherwise have been closed to our group. Through it the relations of the races have been much improved.
Funeral services for this servant of the race and country were conducted on May 6th at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Rev. W. D. Carter delivering the eulogy, Revs. T. F. Jones, and E. M. Lewis assisted in the service. The church was crowded and the presence of the vast crowd of both white and colored mourners, the large assortment of flowers, and the elarge number of resolutions read showed how universal and genuine was the sorrow of the community for the loss of one of its leaders. Among most beautiful floral tributes was one bearing the name f The Admiral Lilac. The music was furnished by Webb's Orchestra. The selectins rendered did honor to the deceased and credit to the musicians. Especially commendable was a violin solo, "The Perfect Day," "Death is only a dream" was fittingly sung by Dr. W. Allen. Lieut. Roston is survived by his wife, Mrs. Marie Roston; a daughter, Miss Ruth Roston; a son, James A., Jr., and a piece, Mrs. Louise Chatters.

SACRAMENTO
My heart was heavy, for its trust had been
Abused, its kindness answered with
foul wrong;
So, turning gloomily from my fellow-
men.
One summer Sabbath-day I strolled
among
The green mounds of he village burial
place;
Where, pondering how all human love
and hate
Find one sad level—and how, soon or
late,
Wronged and wrong-doer, each with
miekened face,
And cold hands folded over a still
heart,
Pass the green threshold of our common grave,
Whither all footsteps tend, whence
none depart.
Awed for myself and pitying my face,
Our common sorrow, like a mighty
wave,
Swept all my pride away, and trem-
bling, I forgave.

PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT
CHURCH OF CHRIST
18th and Paloma Sts.
Rev. N. P. Greggs, Pastor
The sacred celebration of Mother's Day was great in the magnitude of mammoth programs all day at the Peoples' Independent church of Christ last Sunday. A progressive Sunday school closed at the regular hour with a large number in attendance. At 11:00 o'clock a wonderful pipe organ prelude solemnly developed a sacred atmosphere in which a magnificent audience emerged into a sacred and touching worship. The sermon by the pastor, Dr. N. P. Greggs, was truly a masterful biblical discourse mingled with spiritual, inspirational, touching memories of Mother, and sound truths exemplary of a practical motherhood, that brought mediation and memory of the deceased mother and practical application with adorable love to the mother of today, a living example. These Touching truths came from the expansion of his soul-stirring sermon preached from the subject "A mother's cares and wages." As a result of these truths so ably presented, several accessions were made to the church, a number of whom were converted at the self-same hour. A live discussion was engaged in by members and visitors of the Christian Endeavor at the 6:30 hour. At 7:20 p. m. a large audience of anxious listeners again assembled for the special program prepared as a climax of Mother's Day Celebration. The choir sang a fitting anthem, an excellent violin solo was played by Master William Starks. This was followed by a sweet solo "Ave Maria" sung by Miss Lucille Brown. Prof. H. D. Greer, the speaker of the occasion was fittingly introduced by the master of ceremonies, Prof. C. A. Biggers. Prof. Greer, who is recognized as a master of music and a linguist, being well versed in various languages, not only electrified his audience with his eloquent address but presented many scientific facts that held his audience in deep thought, presenting his practical points from his subject, "The Faith of Our Fathers." The closing number of the program was a sexette, the title, "Madre Santa Mia" (Sacred Mother of Mine). composed by Prof. H. D. Greer, and sung by Miss Lucille Brown and Messrs Frazier, Kirk, Whitfield, Hart and Greer. The financial report for the day was no less complimentary than the inspiring program. All eyes and ears are now turned to the Girls and boys' Day celebration. The girls will celebrate Girls Day next Sunday, and the program from start to finish will be rendered by a tailored set of girls. It will be worth while for all to witness. Boy's day celebration on the 4th Sunday is expected to be one of the crowning events of the season, and will tell from the boy's efforts what we may expect from the future generation of men in the finality of the city of Los Angeles. Other activities will appear in the future issues of the newspaper Watch for "what is color on."

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
RECORD BAPTIST CHURCH
740 Maple Avenue
Dr. V. L. Brishh, Pastor
An unusually large number of out of town visitors worshipped with us last Sunday morning, among them Mr. Clarence Cameron White. The auditorium was packed to capacity. There were five additions to the membership during the day.
The pastor's morning subject was, "The Greatest Life Objective." The text, "To me to live is Christ". He spoke of the need of a threefold development in the Christing of body, mind of spirit. In referring to the developing of the spirit, he said in part:
"The forces seek to control man's life: one is good, the other is evil. And right now while we worship, we are under the domination of one or the other of these spirits. And herein cines the real test of Christian living. Whidh one has he mastery of our lives? There is a spirit to live and serve self alone; and there is a spirit to serve others as we help ourselves. There is a spirit to hate, and a spirit to love. Please remember that the Christian life is not rejection of the Holy Spirit, but living and walking in him."
The services of the coming Sunday evening will be under the direction of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity of Los Angeles.
Next Sunday, May 18, Girls' Day at the Independent Church. Miss Consulella Bringt will speak from the subject, "Living Water" at 13 a.m. Every girl who is one hundred per cent true to the sex that she represents will be present on next Sunday and thus help to put over one of the greatest programs ever yet witnessed in this city. The Ferris Orchestra and many excellent features will be presented by girls. The program begins promptly at 7:30 in the evening. Every one is urged to be present, but a special invitation is extended to girls.
NEW HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH
Rey, F. O. Brown, D. D., evangelist, preached his opening sermon of the great revival that he is conducting at New Hope, on last Sunday morning. A crowded house received his wonderful message with so much enthusiasm that they themselves did so much advertising till it was unnecessary to further advertise this wonderful speaker of the gospel, for people are coming from all parts of the city to hear him. Those who have not heard Dr. Brown, who hails from Texas, must not fail to do so during the coming week. The Mother's Day program was carried out at the evening services. Testimonials, ouching to the heart were given by those present, about mother, interspersed with such solos as "Mother's Prayer," "Meet Mother in the Skies," "Mother's Bible." "Little Mother of Mine," and "Mother Machree." There was also a male quartet "Tell Mother I'll Be There." besides two spindle papers on "Mother." The service was indeed touching. Beautiful decorations for the day were arranged by the Senior Missionary Society. Again we invite everyone to come listen to Dr. Brown explain to sinners, the simple way to come to Christ.
Hear him at New Hope Baptist Church, 18th St. near Palima, "The Lively Church."
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
Rev. A. T. Hines, Pastor
Our mothers day services were indeed impressive.
The pastor filled he pulpit both morning and evening and at 3 o'clock delivered a most wonderful address to the mothers of the community.
Mrs. Albritton who is chairman of the Program Committee deserves much credit for the program rendered at this service.
On last Sunday was witnessed a baptismal service that will never be forgotten.
Rev. Rozier and Rev. Hines both carrying out this part of the plan of salvation as laid out by the Father at the same time.
Rev. Hines must have been a happy map-being conscious of the fact that a similar service was being held in another part of the city at the same hour due to his efforts, through the preaching of the word.
You are cordially invited to attend our nightly Bible Study.
Mothers Day at Wesley was well attended, the Rev. O. S. Stonk, Pastor of Shaw's Mission at Watts, Cal., was the preacher of the day. t was also Shaw's Mission ay at Wesley—The subject of the morning hour was, "She has done what she could." At the close of the sermon, My Mother's Prayer as a duett was rendered by Mrs. Matthews and Mrs. Richards. All members and friends, Howie should be present Sunday, the 18th, when the Rev. Woodley will deliver the message at seven o'clock hour—"A Great Man and a Great Preacher." At 7:30 Sunday Evening, the Chair and Clergation of Wesley will worship at the Jst M. E.

Out Central Avenue way we dropped into the offices conducted by the veteran realty dealer M. G. Stokes, whose place of business is near 38th street. We marveled at the well appointed office which he conducts and we began to be reminiscent and visualize Stokes when he sauntered into the city something like a decade ago broken in health as well as in pocket. He came to Los Angeles for the recuperation of both. Undaunted he struck out and proceeded to do whatever he could get to do. He had been trained along business lines and accepted a place of trust as an accountant in one of the foremost business enterprises of Denver, Colorado, his former home. He struggled and soon his health was on the mend like wise his pocket. He was satisfied but not content. He chaffed under the idea of working for others when opportunity stretched forth its hand beckoning all who would to cme forth. Stokes heeded the call and from that time to the present day he has moved forward and today represents one of the most sound and conservative real estate, brokerage and insurance businesses in the entire city. He makes a specialty of fire insurance and is credited with writing perhaps the largest insurance business of any of our race firms. He has kept pace with progress and is in the advancing column of business men who are making history in the great metropolis of the Pacific Coast.
Out Central Avenue way we ducted by the veteran realty dealer of business is near 38th street. We pointed office which he conducts as cent and visualize Stokes when he
Another one of o urreal and methodical men is Albert Bauman, proprietor of the Bauman Drug Company, located at 9th and Central Avenue. Only a few years ago coming from New Orleans to the land of opportunity and freedom, he cast about the city for a business location. He had been successfully engaged in the drug business for many years at his former home, and of course sought to enter that line of effort here. He negotiated the sale and bought the Sohn Drug Store at 9th and Central Avenue. This store, previous to his purchase of it, had been an in and out business proposition, mediocre to the extreme, but under the masterful guidance of Mr. Bauman in a business way, it has become one of the bright spots of the city, and is indeed an illuminating path which reflects the accomplishments of the Negro business men of this section.
Another successful business enterprise is the general business conducted by A. H. Reeves Junk Company of Santa Fe avenue. Mr. Reeves not only has made of this line of effort a notable success, but has ventured out in several side lines-all of which have been successful and made openings for the employment of members of our group. His poultry ranch at Watts is noteworthy as well as the trading and produce company located on E 23rd street near Hooper Avenue, and truly along business lines A. H. Reeves is holding up the banner of progress and is a bright light in the business firmament of Los Angeles. business because it is a united effort of units is the establishment of the Liberty Loan Association at 23rd and Central avenue. This company is manned and conducted by some of our foremost business men who have been successful as individuals and marks a new line of effort which is destined to make a new mark for the successful conduct of business by combination of resources. The Liberty Loan Association, to our mind, represents strength, rare business acumen and is worthy of the strongest support.
The Connor & Johnson Funeral directors and embalmers represent in their line of business effort the highest degree of business efficiency and has set the standard of business to the highest peak and ranks as one of the most modern business firms in the West, regardless of group formation. Mr. Chas. Connor, president of the Company is a man who stands for clean cut and straight forward business and who is a past master in this line of business, which has been gained from a rich and varied experience extending over many years. Mr. S. P. Johnson, the secretary, is known far and near as a man who is wrapping in the welfare of the race, and is able backing up the senior member of the firm in every movement for progress. This institution is a practical demonstration of the possibilities of user business efforts.

CITY CHARTER AND DISTRICT REPRESENTATION
Eithed the Free Holders put over a big joker in framing the new City Charter or the present council is a bunch of bone heads who willfully and with malice aforethought have in as many words said the people be damned. No plainer mandate was ever voiced than the voice of the people af the polls on April 6th, when they declared preference for district representation by an overwhelming vote.
Of course as might be expected, our present City Council gets cold feet when it comes to voting themselves out of a job, and every subterfuge known will be recorted to in all probability to keep the people from having their expressed wish carried out. However while the City Council might deny the people temporarily, a reckoning day will come, and when that day arrives, they will, without doubt, receive their just dues by the same people whom they have denied.
THE POWER BONDS AND DEFEAT
The main issue in Power bonds went down to defeat in the recent primaries, because it failed to receive a two-thirds vote at the polls. Many alibis are offered and the proponents of the 21 million dollar issue want to go to the bat right away for another test, with the hope, however, that the people will reverse themselves. We feel that the bonds were defeated principally on the narrow prejudice exhibited by officials in the Public Service Bureau who have without question refused employment in their department to a certain group of people on account of petty prejudices. Time after time has complaint been made at this office of persons who have been certified by the civil service to the Bureau of Power and Light only to be turned down. These people and a large number of the group of which they are members presented this o nelection day in forces strong enough to defeat the bnds. A reversal of form from prejudice to justice might work wonders in another election.
EDITORIALS DON'T GROW ON TREES
Requests for editorials on various topics of human interest, ranging from prize fights to the paramount issues of the Presidential pre-convention campaign, pour into our offices daily.
While we appreciate the confidence and faith of our readers as their letters indicate, we find it imperative to state that we cannot always write editorials on this and that thing in compliance with their very grateful and respectful requests. The popular conception concerning journalism is that it can be mastered overnight, and, once mastered, it is as easy to hash five hundred words in an editorial or news story as it is to walk out on the street and light a cigar. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Editorial writing, as it is taught today in our leading schools of journalism,
nique., consummate mastery of language, perspective, knowledge, a sixth sense for proportion. Taking these in the order given, it is obvious that the technique of an editorial is a thing flighty and full of caprice: at one moment a writer may show admirable technique; at another, technique that is remarkably poor. Technique, like style, depends not only upon a writer's personality but upon the mood in which an assignment may find him. Of language, the popular conception is that it is a thing cut and dried, easy to handle, responsive, simple and requiring no effort to us with telling effect; and like most popular conceptions this idea which so many entertain about language is amazingly erroneous. A wide vocabulary cannot be had in a day like a tailor made suit; and like such a suit, one's use of it cannot deceive anyone as to his status. It is a means of self-revelation: an index. He who would use it dexterously must be wary, discreet, economical. Of perspective, who would say that it is easily attained?? It is like that wholesome and regenerating change which a man undergoes when he comes to himself—that is, it is only attained after serious and deliberative effort just as a man cannot find his way out of the maze of difficulties until he can detach himself from the hussle bussle of a busy world long enough to get a glimpse of his own true place and function in it. It grows out of life: out of its joys and sorrows; and, singular as it may seem, some men never attain it at all. History will corroborate the remark: but passing on to knowledge and a sixth sense for proportion, it may be necessary to clear up a few popular conceptions which have distorted both. One is that knowledge can be easily acquired. Another is that once acquired it can be easily used by everyone skillfully. Difference in individual capacity to learn refutes the first. Differences in individual ability to use knowledge refutes the second. Of a sixth sense for proportion, the truth can only be that it is the result of experience, that it is also a matter of individual taste, that it is arbitrary and never at all to be determined by any established canon.
The world today would be without its unhappiness and suffering if it were not for the false assumptions which constantly pervert it. Human nature is prone to falsely assume so much that many objects are warped out of their true proportion and denied their reality. How many popular conceptions of a score of years ago concerning the possibilities of the automobile as an agent of transport and convenience have been shown up of their validity be the executive development of

bile industry in years since then? What was the popular conception concerning economy and philosophy as practical, workable and immediately helpful subjects? What IS the true conception NOW? Who, ten years ago, believed that the Socialist party would have a representative in Congress and 1,000-municipal officials scattered across the length and breadth of this continent? These show that popular conceptions are evidently harmful in most instances, because manifestly falst. We would urge, therefore, all those who write for them that in which they alone are interested to stop a moment and think of the work to be done daily in the average newspaper offise. We would urge them to divorce themselves from that shallow conception concerning journalism which we have elucidated here, for all editorials don't grow on trees.

What We Saw, What We Heard, In Chicago And In Nashville
In Chicago we met another distinguished citizen who happened to be an old time friend of the writer, when we both were fellow citizens in the capitol of John Brown's state in bleeding Kansas. Mr. Fisher is a file clerk in the office of the Attorney General of the state of Illinois. We spent a few happy minutes with him on the day of our departure and were the recipient of many courtesies from our genial personality has always been a great inspiration to us. He resides at Evansville and not unlike his regime in Kansas known as a leader in the community in which he lives. He made us solemnly promise on our next trip to Chicago to visit with him at his home.
ARTHUS W. HARRIS
Another old time co-worker and friend who has from infancy been atached some way or another around the membership of the Fourth Estate is Arthur W. Harris from our hometown, Topeka, Kansas. He is one of the hustlers now in that busy mart of newspaper trade along with C. A. Barrows of Negro Press Association. We enjoyed many moments with him in reminiscent exchange of a quarter of a century ago.
We could not leave Chicago without a word about our life long acquaintance, Mrs. Ella Fulcm at whose home we stopped for a few days at her spectral request to again go over the story of long ago. Mrs. Fulcm, formerly Ms. De Shattio, was one of the pioneer citizens of Kansas, and the one is one of the best known and highly respected families of the capital city.
We had the honor and distinguished pleasure of again partaking of the hospitality of the Hon Oscar DrPriest at his palatial home. We were also much pleased and flattered to meet again his sister, Mrs. Mattie Page who is the widow of the late Dr. James Page of Pittsburgh, Penn. The departed doctor was our boyhood chum, and the beast and truest friend we have ever had. Therefore the meeting with his good wife brought back to us memories of the stalwart, manly man, scholar and a man whom to know was to love him.
Mrs. Page is teaching in the public schools in Chicago and has purchased a most splendid flat.

On Our Way
Finally we bead Chicago adieu and were soon on our way o the Illinois Central depot and our next step was Springfield, where resides qur uncle Wm. Jones whom we had not seen in 48 years and of course when we got on the train at Springfield, we looked all around and failed to see anybody that looked like our kith and kin. We kept looking however, and in due time an elderly gentleman, who looked like he might know from where. 1386 Mason street was located attracted our attention. We walked over to him an dasked the question and as soon as he spoke, I caught the favor and exclaimed is this Uncle Will? He likewise exclaimed, is this Joe! And thus uncle and nephew met for the first time in 48 years. Mr. Jones is one of the staid and most respected citizens of Springfield. He is a large property holder and enjoys the rewards of the deviance of the people of his,community. We repaired to his home and after a short rest proceeded to meet other relatives and to see Springfield. We visited the Lincoln Home also the monument of the Emancipator and viewed with awe and reverence the many mementos which had to do with the life of Lincoln and the Emancipation of four million souls.
While our physician had decreed long since that we should never again make strenuous efforts to climb great heights, we could not overcome the desire to climb to the top of the monument, from which height we could view the beautiful capital city of Illinois. Our visit to the tomb of Lincoln was one of revered inspiration.
Wesley W. Shobe
Passes Out
Wesley W. Shobe, only recently moving here from Tulsa, Oklahoma, and established in business on Central avenue at the intersectin of Clanton street, passed away on last Sunday. It is said that he was afflicted with Bright disease.
He leaves a wife who has been his business partner and relatives who live in the East, and a host of friends to mourn his loss. Mr. Shobe was an outstanding figure for his honesty, and upright life. All who have ever known him speak of him only in terms of the oddness of his life.
He was Past Grand Master of the Odd Fellows of Kansas, in which state he was reared; a Mason and Christian gentleman. His funeral was held at 10 o'clock from the chapel of the Connor and Johnson Undertaking Co.

Cleveland, Obio, May 5. 1924.—Chas.
Aigiahell Morris. Jr. of Norfolk, Vir
. the famous journalist and ora-
‘tor was the principal speaker on Sun-
fterncon at a mammoth meeting
the auspices of the Cleveland
ounell of Colored Women. This or-
ization is seeking to raise f:nds
Fn ‘which to erect a home for de-
quent Col’red Girls. The event,
hich was held here Sunday, was the
Eercen yet given by all odds, thous-
‘of persons Jamming the auditori-
um to hear the celebrated spokesman.
“The Measure of a Man”, was young
Morris‘s~subject here in ' which he
pleaded for character, courage, faith,
aspiration and loyalty. He paid elo-
quent ribute to the womanhood of the
race stating that our females are
among “The fairest, bravest, noblest
daughters of the cons of men". His
description of his recent epochai trip
through the South was an ratorical
ejwel. When he urged the throng to
@fscountenance ‘terming outstanding
men of our group the black “Billy Sun-
day”. the black “Caruso”, the black
“William Jennings” or something sim-
fiar, the great concourse _ literally
@houted its approval. The effect was
asical. Mortis left, Moday afternoon
for Toledo, where he was scheduled
to speak at night, and for Akron wrere
he was booked fo appear on Tuesday
evening. That same night he will leave
for the “Windy City” to resume his
studies at the University of Chicago.
Young Morris will visit California
‘and the entize Pacific Coas durnig the
months of July and Angist in which
section it is expected that great mul-
titudes of both races will acclaim him.
Already scores of invitations have
‘Reached him at Chiago urging his pres-
ece. His first California address will
be delivered in Los Angeles. It has
‘een announced that the brilliant ora-
tor would deliver twenty speeches on
fhe Coast. Ie has been Weard fro-
quently in‘ every section of America

they all make gocd why the city limits
of Los Anceles in sc fur as inhabitants

jon Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays,
as heaven is. of jail birds.
Our white friends took to the coun-

their golf sites attached will do well
to keep the tops up om their cars,
wear baseball masks, and have the
windows in their limousin sescreened

Last Thursday the U. S. C. Touchstone Theatre was filled with the clear resonance, and elastic range of Miss Rowena Muckelroy's voice. Her audience was composed, at large, of trained musical critics, but the natural sweetness of her voice apparently hypnotized those listening people, for they were held on edge in Silent applause, which illuminated them, and then there was a unanimous bursting forth of virtuous applause.
Miss Muckelroy is a Soror of Upsilon Chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority.
Mr. Bryce Taylor, a student of U. S. C. and an all-star athlete, has nearly captured the 100 yard dash world’s record championship which is held by Howard Drew, and Charles Paddock, who have won the event in nine and three-fifths seconds. In the A. A. U. Championship meet which was held in the Coliseum at Exposition Park, May 3, 1924, Bryce Taylor ran the 100 yard dash in 9 and four-fifths seconds.

OMEGA PSI PHI FRATERNITY TO CONDUCT PROGRAM ON NEGRO ACHIEVEMENT
ACADEMIC
The Omaha Phi Phi Greek Letter College Fraternity which has chapters established in every University of primary importance from Columbia and New York Universities in New York, to the University of Southern California of this city, and from McGill University in Montreal Canada, to Mehary College at Nashville, Tennessee, is conducting, through each chapter, a week's program on "Negro Achievement." Lambda Chapter of the Omega Phi Phi Fraternity, University of Southern California, will present its signal program, Sunday evening, May 15th. The program will be conducted in a semi-symposium style. That it is possible for the Negro to rise above the level of common existence will be proven by Lambda Chapter.
It is astounding to note just how free some people are from a knowledge of the Negro's Achievements. And when the race learns of what has been accomplished by Negroes by studying the lives of those who have meritoriously distinguished themselves in spite of the circumstances, then, also, will that same race of people see a brighter future.
The Omega Psi Phi Praternity is helping Negro to achieve by offering each year one-thousand dollar scholarship at the University of Berlin, which is open to any student who demonstrates ability, good morals and conscientious efforts in the pursuit of his studies.
Lambda Chapter, again, invites the public to attend their program at Wesley M. E. Chapel, May 25th.

Sidney P. Dones took time by the forelock and announced his candidacy for the Assembly right off the reef and set tongues a wagging thrill the big 73rd Assembly District, for he is known that Sidney is a hustler from way back, and when he gets agging the dust will fly. Look out for him for the shingles will surely rattle in the old 73rd.
Now lets see who is Davy Jones. He has lived down in the 74 districts for many years and way back yonder was quite a mixer in things political. Now he is going to do the come back and run for something—just what—well, that has not been decided yet.
Billy Greenwood says a faint heart has ever won a fair lady, and says that if at first you don't succeed, try again, and on this hypothesis he is going after the old assembly job again, and will put in the campaign more pep than has ever been in the district before. As a matter of fact Billy told this writer that he has a new sort of pep coming up for this campaign.
Hon. Frank M. Merriam, Chairman of the Central Committee has loomed up as a big factor on the political horizon, for he was boss of the works when for the first time Hiram Johnson got the Kayou in the political arena.
Voters in old precinct No. 81 are indignant at the maneuvers which changed the voting places from their doors to travel miles to get to a polling place, and when that supervisor comes up for election who was the cause of this inconvenience, he will not receive much consideration from these voters.
The man of the home for congressman from the 11th District is Sheriff J. E. Byers of San Diego. No better man ever walked in shoe leather, and he will reflect credit on the District. Every member of our group who lives in this district should not fail to both vote and work for a man like Byers.
They are lining up now all along the line for the August primaries, and at no far distant date the welkin will ring.
Don't forget Judge Ira Thompson as a lead of candidate for Superior Judge.

THAT TONGUE
A sermon by C. P. Jones
"What shall be given unto thee, or
what shall be done unto thee, thou
false tongue?"—Ps. 120:3.
David was yet young. Young people take to heart what is said about them more so than older people, the all of us suffer from the deep wounds made by the evil or false tongues. But, I think, I may safely say that older people find out by and by that they are born unto trouble: Job 4-5: that they are going to be misunderstood, misinterpreted, misquoted, lied upon II Cor. that the business, the social and religious world is full of serpents who will bite without enchantment (Ecc. 10), babblers, tattlers, backbiters; that sometimes they do harm and sometimes, unintentionally, they do good. We come to take the matter philosophically, and do not run much after it or cry much about it. The old veteran does not frighten easily at the pop of a gun: life is life and death is death, and it is all on the program. But with the younger person to be maligned and slandered is a terrible crucifixion. And that is as it should be, for it makes for carefulness, caution, prudence, watchfulness; and these are needful in all and very especially in youth. Not that the old are better, but the hope of the world is in youth.
Now we all have enemies. They dislike us because of our gifts or our personality or because we interfere with their plans and thwart their ambitions, or because of some misunderstanding.
David was a member of the court of King Saul. Saul hated and feared him because in he killing of Gollath, the Giant of Gath, he had poven himself more valiant and had consequently become more popular than the king himself. You see how it was—envy, jealousy, fear, apprehension of what might turn up in the future, looking after myself and my own, selfish caution, haze. Ah me. You get it? David was gifted, useful, successful, promising, therefore he was feared and hated.
Now David had other of these mean and narrow-hearter enemies at. King Saul's court, among them an Edomite flunky named Doeg. He was on eof these people who sycophantly flatter those above him, treat cruelly those beneath him, and envy and seek to injure those who surpass him in excellence.
Doerg, the Edomite, his tribe. They persist to this day in large numbers.
The Barking Dog
Now, this Dog knew well that though, David was the King's son-in-law and his most popular captain, that he had no use for him and that to report against David was please the King. Therefore, he spied upon David and kept the King's suspicions aroused and his mind in a state of war against the young hero. He was Saul's barking dog.
It Hurts
This hurt David much, for he really loved his King, his counting and his people. It is hard to be misunderstood and suspected by those you love and whom you would not harm for anything in the world. It distresses the heat. The hurt goes deep. That is one reason our Saviour suffered intensely. He loved. He was true. He wanted to help. But He was suspected, maligned and rejected. And is He not being so treated even today? Ah, the Judases, the Ananiases! What shall be done unto thee. You false tongue? Rage on. Wag on. Wound, stab in the back. Pierce as thorns. Justify yourself. But what are you going to get for it?
Dog spied on David and misrepresented his actions. He even had David's friends, who befriended him in utter innocence, who thought they were serving the King in helping David, the very priests of God, slain. He even took the sword and slew them at the King's command, when no one else would nor dared to. To have a conscienceless foe like that to constantly talk against you is some trial, admit, O, the constant knock and hard-hearted, implacable sneer. It hurts all right.
Took It To God
But David took everything to God, The Holy Ghost became his help. Isa. 18: He wrote the Psalm from which our text is taken under divine inspiration—"What Shall he Given Unto Thee? What Shall be Done Unto Thee, O Thou False Tongue?" I am to peace, but when I speak you are for war. It was so in the life of our Savlor. The false tongue slew him. False tongue? That is the tongue that belies, that misrepresents, that garbles forth to make a false and evil impression, that tells just enough to hurt the one it hates, just enough to put a lie in the heart of the listener, to defeat friendship and unseat true judgment. False tongue.
Child of a False Heart
A false tongue goes with a false heart, for "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh." Matt. 12:34-37.
A false heart is the nursing mother of a false tongue. Get the heart right and the tongue right. And what is the reward. That is the questio of our text.
In Psalm 12:3-5 we read—"The good shall cut off all flattering lips and the tongue that speaketh proud things, who have said, 'with our tongue will we prevail, our lips are our own, who is Lord over us?' For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the Lord. I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him."
We shall not get angry then and fly back at him, but give place to wrath.
Sigh, yes, only to God, yes. Then wait on the Lord. These flattering an false tongues will be cut off. Don't think it will fall. God is just and true. One of the things that will keep people out of heaven is backbiting with the tongue. Psa. 15:3—Better hush and be careful.
In Psalm 64:8 He promises to make their tongue fall upon themselves. In Proverbs 10:31 we read that the froward tongue shall be cut out, and in Proverbs 12:19 that a lying tongue is but for a moment.
They are outside of the pale of God's favor. "Whosoever leth or maketh a lie" or "taketh up a reproach against his neighbor" to do him harm. What shall be given unto thee or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? We think our falsehoods will get us by and make us friends? But will they? Not so long as the eternal rule holds true that what measure ye mete shall be measured unto you again, Matt. 7; 1-12. A flying tongue, a false tongue is a great affliction even to those who carry it about in their mouths, let alone to the church and to the world at large. And oh to be banished from God as a liar and as a heart-breaking peace-breaker. Amen.
METROPOLITAN BAPT. CHURCH
37th and Paloma Sts.
So impressive were the services held at our church in honor of Mother's Day that not one of the large attendance either young or old, left without a different feeling towards "Mother." The pastor, inspired by the loving thoughts and tender care of a dear mother preached as never before. The Choir under the direction of Mme. Mozelle Te Outley sang sweetly music for the occasion. There were two accessions to the church At the evening service Rev. Jones a powerful speaker from Pueblo, Colo. preached a soul stirring sermon from the subject "Arise, take up thy bed and walk."
The pastor will fill the pulpit Sunday A. M. and will preach from the subject: "The Happiness and Preperity of the Godly and the Failure and Destruction of the Ungodly."
Come and hear this wonderful message. Elaborate preparations are being made to celebrate our Second Anniversary, June 1, 2, 3.
BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH
Holding its Services in the Y. W. C. A. 9th and Hemlock Sts.
Rev. H. D. Prowd, Pastor
We had excellent services all day on Sunday. Our Sunday School was well attended and the lesson carefully and profitably studied.
At the 11 o'clock service "Mother's Day" was the chief topic, and Dr. Prowd preached a splendid sermon suitable to the occasion taking for his text John 19:19—"But there were at the Cross his mother, and Mary his mother's sister." Scripture texts bearing on "Mother" were referred to and circumstances in every-day life of families were brought forth with effect.
The B. Y. P. U. had a short session which was followed by the Lord's Supper, after brief remarks by the Pastor.
We invite you to our services this Sunday—Come praying for a blessing. Dr. Prowd can now be found daily a his office in The Cosmopolitan Bldg. 843: Central Ave. Room 3.
MT. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH
50th and Hooper
A large and appreciative audience attended the Mt. Zion Baptist Church at its three services last Sunday. At the morning service Rev. Williams preached from the subject: "God's Message to the World through His Son." At the afternoon service: "Mothers' Day" program was rendered. The main speaker was Rev. Charles Hampton. His talk was inspiring to all who were present. The soloists for the occasion were: Miss Mary Banks of the Second Baptist Church and Mrs. Alberta Franklin of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church. There were many mothers present. At the evening service Rev. Hampton spoke. All were pleased with the wonderful message brought to us by this strong young man of God. There were two accessions during the day.
A beautiful trio was sung at the evening service by Mr. and Mrs. Geo Arnold and Rev. Williams—"Though Your Sins be as Scarlet."
Next Sunday morning Rev. Williams will speak from the subject: "The Faithful Saying;" Evening "Christian Contentment."
At three o'clock Sunday afternoon Rev. W. H. Rozler, Pastor Pleasant Hill Baptist Church will speak.

WHAT IS MODERNISM?
By: LEIGHTON PARKS
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons—Price $1.00
This book is in response to many letters of inquiry received by Dr. Parks concerning the great issue confronting the Christian church and professes to be a simple, brief, inexpensive and yet a thorough-going account and exposition of Modernism, the name which has been given to the movement which is supposed to be the cause of the present distress.
The origin of the name, Modernism, is said by the author to have arisen in Italy and France after the close of the Franco-Prussian War. Pope Pius X in condemning certain social, philosophical, and historical movements in the Roman Catholic Church speaks contemptuously of it in the encyclical Pascendi (1907). At this time it was applied to mean "new-fangled notions." It was, at the time of the Franco-Prussian war, the movement of Modernism as an attempt by devout Catholics to adjust themselves to the new political condition that our author in a simple yet fresh and animated style describes for us on page two. It may be said that Pragmatism, which is the doctrine of bringing abstruse intellectual pursuits into a more practical and work-a-day use, is the outgrowth of this movement; and, further, that both Modernism and Pragmatism exerted equally as great an influence upon one as upon the other.
In the Roman Catholic Church Modernism was suppress-pressed. But this suppression was only temporary. It quickly arose, this time with greater force and advocated by more formidable forces and became slightly altered in its meaning as it became adopted by the Protestant Churches of America. "Politically, it is interested in social reform, Philosophically, it is interested in physiology than in metaphysics. And in its historical or critical form, it is a movement "inspired by a desire to bring the tradition of Christian belief and practice into close relation with the intellectual habits and social aspirations of our time. . . . It is a movement of individuals." The question which Modernism puts before us is simply and clearly this: Must the men and women who are breathing the new atmosphere of freedom, of the larger knowledge which has come as the result of scientific discovery, psychological experience and historical investigation, be told that they must accept opinions which were once believed to be true or abandon the communion of the Church, or, as a compromise, that they may be permitted to indulge in the luxury of the new knowledge in every department of life except the religious life: that a dual personality is essential to religion? Or can the old faith influence men in the twentieth century as it did in the thirteenth and the fourth and the first? Says our author in an attempt to show what result may come from this: "If the latter be admitted, there is hope for the unity of man's spiritual nature which will lead to a revival of the spiritual life." With these definitions of Modernism and a short account of its development, its suppression the Catholic Church, its rise in the Protestant Church, and the new connotation which has been added to the original meaning of the name Modernism, our author proceeds to elaborate upon Modernism as a movement.
Modernism, according to the author's use of it, "means communicants of the church, and is represented by such a publication as the English "Modern Churchman" and such well-known scholars in England as its editor, the Rev. D. A. Major, Dean Rashdall, Dean Inge, Archdeacon Wilson, Canon Glazebrooke, Dr. Bethune-Baker, Dr. Mathews, Dr. W. R. Sorley, Prof. Percy Gardner, and the late Cyril W. Emmet, not to mention men of like standing and devotion in the protestant churches of America." Strongly does the author, in the course of explaining such a difficult term, oppose those who would give the name of Modernism to that form of movement which tends to bring about disbelief in the reality of the earthly life of Jesus Christ, which would say that Jesus never lived; that He is simply the imaginary nucleus about which certain myths have clustered. If this be Modernism," he says, "I would repudiate it as strongly as any Fundamentalist does. But it is not the logical result of Modernist thought, and it is never fair to judge any movement by the eccentrics who may seem to be associated with it. No Fundamentalist would think that justice were done him if Brother Jasper were quoted as a typical Fundamentalist with his celebrated dictum, "The sun do move." Every revolving sphere has a tendency to throw off particles at a tangent. There is a tendency in all stable governments towards despotism; there is a tendency in democracy towards anarchy. But who would think that it was a just description of any democratic country—America, England, France—to say that the anarchists represent the real purpose of the men who believe in a republic. . . . The same is true of the "Christ myth." It is not the logical result of the movement called Modernism."
The Modernist does not openly deny the historical account of Christ. Nor does he deny the supernatural or believes that religion is an illusion or that it is an invention of man. "He believes it to be God's revelation of Himself through human experience. . . . He believes that man, being made in the image of God, has spoken in divers ways and manners to the fathers and that He is speaking to us, His children today." Emerson has pointed this out with marked felicity in "Nature, Addresses and Lectures:" to wit:
EXTRA! COURT SOLOMON, 8677, A.
The Eagle's Literary SUPPLEMENT
Edited By: CHAUNCEY TOWNSEND
"But when, following the invisible steps of thought we come to inquire, Whence is matter? and Whersto many truths aris out of the recesses of consciousness. We learn that the highest is present to the soul of man; that the dread universal essence, which is not wisdom, or love, or beauty, or power, but all in one, and each entirely, is that for which all things exist, and that by which they are; that spirit creates; that behind nature, throughout nature, spirit is present; one and not compound it does not act upon us from without, that is, in space and time, but spiritually, or through ourselves; therefore, that spirit, that is, the Supreme Being, does not build up nature around us, but puts it forth through us, as the life of the tree puts forth new branches and leaves through the pores of the old. As a plant upon the earth, so a man rests upon the bosom of God; he is nourished by unfailing fountains, and draws at his need inexhaustible power."
The obvious tendency in accepting this, of course, leads to Pantheism but it might be well to take this instruction: that by supernatural, Emerson does not mean preternatural, or nothing miraculous. He simply means that God is the Fountain and the Fullness, the Origin and the End of Beauty and Truth and Godness. Accordingly, the Modernist draws the distinction between the supernatural and the miraculous. He believes in the supernatural; that in God and in God alone we live and move and have our being. He does not deny historically attested miracle, but what he does deny is the assertion that miracles are the supreme evidence of the supernatural; in other words, that life in general is separated, from God, but that from time to time God reveals Himself in some abnormal and startling way.
The book concludes with a brief account of the Modernist movement of today. The author pleads for greater tolerance on the part of those who would suppress any tendency in the Christian Church to adapt religion to the practical exigencies of the day. It may be fairly stated that Dr. Parks has cleared up several oblivious discrepancies. He has given the layman, as well as the pendant, a simple, interesting, engrossing and stimulating account of a movement, which, from many unmistakable indications, is gathering head in such great measures that it presages radical change in the religious beliefs of our time. Dr. Parks is a Modernist, but he disapproves with strong dislike that form of Modernism which would separate religion from life. In a word, he has achieved in presenting in clear, readable, epigramatic form, a book which the man in the street may immensely profit by through the easiest and most delightful kind of study.
The whole panorama of Stevenson's life, in its happiest, its most joyous, it most successful, it bitterest and most tragic moments, is unrolled before us in this delightful character sketch like a canopy. We see Stevenson in every light; the traveler, devil may care; witty and gay; the literary craftsman, serious, industrious and tireless; the husband, devoteful, considerate and kind; the man of the world, conducting himself with a carriage and bearing becoming that of a prince. Upon all these sides we see him, sympathize with him, learn to know and love him. It is on account of the marvelous dexterity of his stepson in presenting him to us that we get for the first time so intimate an understanding and so appreciative a picture of him. With him, he was not alone grandson, but fellow craftsman, companion and protege. From the composition of a novel to companionship with him in sports and play; from traveling from continent to continent to the close associations in which the most sacred secrets are divulged, Lloyd Osbourne, his stepson, worked and lived with him from the age of twenty-six to his death.
It is a delightful book. It is one which will animate and entertain and give real pleasure to all who read it. This is largely because of the method in which it is presented. The style in which it is written is charming. I am tempted to quote several passages to show how dexterous the author is in the use of language.
Of Stevenson's first touch of fame, he says with racing piquancy of phrase:
"His reputation, silently spreading, silently infiltrating through a vast public, had suddenly with a universal acclaim arisen to a place second to no novelist's in England or America.
"He was almost dumfounded; it was too incredible for belief; and at first he was inclined to ascribe it to American exuberance. But it was no flash in the pan, no temporary manifestation of excited journalism. It began to reverberate back from England, and took on the very convincing form of big checks and dazzling offers. From that time until his death he became, indeed, one of the most conspicuous figures in contemporary literature. That he enjoyed this sudden elevation goes without saying. He exulted in it; it did much to keep him alive; it gave him assurance and an authority he had never felt before."
This is his description of S. S. McClure:
"McClure, to whom I have jus alluded, was then in the beginning of his meteoric career. Still in his twenties, vibrating with energy, endowed with an ability, initiative, and originality that at times almost approached genius—for surely there is genius in business as well as art—he was one of the most inspiring of men, and had a vital part in shaping our future destiny. Slight, blue-eyed, excessively fair, with hair the color of cinders that
he constantly ruffled with his hands, he was ready at a moment's notice to take fire with excitement and to soar into the azure dreams and millions from which Stevenson had constantly to pull him down by the legs, so to speak."
Throughout the book this kind of description runs like a motif. At times it reaches heights more touching than these; it is full, vibrating, delightful.
Equally as pleasing is the intimate picture which the book gives of Stevenson. In looking back over his life, for instance, considering his hardships and suffering, admiring him for his simple manners and unaffected politeness, we are struck with astonishment at the very modest appraisal he makes of himself:
"I am not a man of unusual talent, Lloyd; I started out with very moderate abilities; my success has been due to my really remarkable industry—to developing what I have in me to the extreme limit. When a man begins to sharpen one faculty, and keeps on sharpening it with tireless perseverance, he can achieve wonders. Everybody knows it; it's a commonplace, and yet how rare it is to find anybody doing it—I mean to the uttermost as I did. What genius I had was for work."
Similarly, in a very touching way, he gives his philosophy of life:
"The bourgeoisie's weapon is starvation. If as a writer or artist you run counter to their narrow notions they simply and silently withdraw your means of subsistence. I sometimes wonder how many people of talent are executed in this way every year.
"We don't live for the necessities of life; in reality no one cares a damn for them; what we live for are its superfluities."
Perhaps the only complaint Stevenson ever made of his suffering was:
"The saddest object in civilization, and to my mind the greatest confession of its failure, is the man who can work, who wants to work, and who is not allowed to work."
Such intimate glimpses of the man as these are put before us in the book. It must be put down as one of the most interesting and most delightfully readable and enjoyable books of the year. It afforded me real pleasure. It is entertainment personified.

THIS MATTER OF A "GREAT RACE"
By: PAUL HUTCHINSON
In "The Christian Advocate"
Christian ministers in America who, moved by other fears, are fooling around with organizations that talk about white supremacy are playing with fire, and the sooner they discover that fact the better. This pseudo-scientific talk about Nordic great races is just as certainly heading toward trouble.
Certain writers who are supporting this white-supremacy myth are frankly saying that it can be secured only by unremitting vigilance and struggle on the part of the whites. It can't be secured even at that price, for it is untrue, nwise and un-Christian. But it is worth nothing that it is admitted that even the attempt to establish this fallacy means race war, whether open or otherwise.
It seems that some Christian ministers, moved by conditions in America, have felt it necessary to swallow the white-supremacy notion in order to support some other crusades. Leaving out of account the need of wisdom of these other struggles, it can be said that these ministers are unwittingly doing their best to nullify the efforts to spread the rule of Jesus throughout the earth. That is the simple fact, and they should be brought to face it.
This racial-discrimination business as reached the point here in America where we must either deal with it as Christians or confess to this non-Christian world that we have graciously deligned to evangelize that we have not the moral strength to deal with our own problems. There is scarcely a non-Christian land where the newspapers are not today carrying accounts of racial troubles in America. The effect upon Christian missions is immediate.
Here is a clipping from an Indian newspaper received this week from E. Stanley Jones, the outstanding Christian evangelist in India today:
"Professor Warburton of the Ewing Christian College, Lahore, writing to the Indian Social Reformer, contends that the case of a Hindu, Bhagat Singh, who was refused naturalization in the States, was not based on the fact of his having been born a caste Hindu, as another American gentleman, a clergyman, argued. The learned professor bases it on an amendment to the Constitution which permits naturalization to all alien whites, thereby excluding other races—a mere conjecture in this case.
"A discrimination, more metaphysical than practical, is sought to be drawn between racial discrimination and racial prejudice. The American would seem to be guilty of the former and the Indian of the latter. The Indian living under the caste system, with the ideas of superiority and inferiority inherent in it, cannot, says the professor, understand that Americans can exclude Indians from naturalization without any race prejudice.
"We might as well say that Americans who are, in the habit of treating Negroes as they do cannot understand the caste system. Instead of defiling these systems of exclusion based on mere prejudice, Christians of whatever nationality ought to take steps to remove them. Americans living in India, especially as missionaries and Christian workers, ought to write to the papers in the States that this attitude is making the delivery of the gospel message difficult for them as representatives of such a people—and renders it a mere mockery in the eyes of Indians.
"Some Indians, let us state it quite frankly, wonder whether they (the missionaries) are really fit to teach our people when they look on with indifference, or maybe with satisfaction, on the perpetration of such an anti-Christian act. This is one of the stern realities of the religious and political situation in our country."
Such a clipping carries its own comment.
What is the missionary to do in the face of such hindrances plied up against his work in his home land? Write to his home papers? He may But that won't carry him far in India, or wherever he may be. This is what Dr. Jones says the missionary is doing.
"We are making a first-hand presentation of Christ. We are asking India to take Christ straight. We do not ask her to take Him mediated through the West. She may no straight to the fountain herself. If she complains that the West has marred His image, we challenge the East to take Him and give a better interpretation. We let Christ float on his own merits. And the remarkable thing is that India is showing the filtration and is occupying the shallows shortly, but I believe, surely,
