TWENTY NINTH YEAR Number 30
Interesting News Concerning the Race.
(Signed) John R. Shillady, Secretary National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
According to a Paris dispatch to the Philadelphia Bulletin, Francis Kane, a powerful six foot Negro, formerly a soldier in the Twenty-fourth United States infantry, but now fighting in the French army, and whose home is in Chicago, has arrived in Paris after many stirring experiences. He has been wounded five times, but is still undaunted. His adventures started immediately he left America, when he caught a spy with three valises loaded with explosives with which the man was about to blow up the steamship. For this Kane received the red, white and blue salvage medal.
Enlisting in the French army in August, 1914. he was in a battle four miles from Rheims when a German rifle bullet traversed his leg. He received another leg wound at Rheims in March, 1915; when exhausted and cold he spent eighteen hours on the ground with nothing to eat. After being sent to Algeria for convalescence he next took part in the Dardanelles expedition under General Gouraud.
The French advanced more than four miles to Sedul Bahr where they were forced to entrench. Here he was twice wounded. He was attended by English doctors and his skull trepanned. He was wounded the fifth time before Monastir. At this place his arm was broken.
Kane was visited in the hospital at Saloniki by General Sarrall and was proposed for the military medal. He has three colonial medals for bravery and distinguished conduct While fighting in the trenches in France, Kane's captain told him to take two men, cross "No Man's Land," and bring back a prisoner, as certain information was needed. Kane went alone at night and covered by a coat of straw he lay quiet each time an illuminating rocket exploded. He advanced slowly until he finally jumped into the German trench, grabbed the first Teuton he saw and rushed back. Cane, who was born in Baton Rouge, La., and is going to Salonika, says: "I am seeking only to do my duty."—Ind. Recorder.
Very shortly there will appear in the colored newspapers a series of short articles entitled "Business League Boosters". As the title suggests, the discussions will be confined to matters such as advertising selling, business methods, and other subjects of interest to National Negro
The National Association for the Advancement of Colorea People today sent to Governor R. G. Pleasant of Louisiana the following telegram of protest against the lynching of three Negroes by white farmers near Delhi, La. on Tuesday, February 26, the affair growing out of an accusation of hog-stealing. The Association's Secretary, John R. Shillady, characterized the lynching as an indefensible attack upon the morale of the nation and as affecting national prestige abroad.
Hon. R. G. Pleasant, Gov., Baton, Rogue, La.
Press dispatches in New York papers report that three Negroes whose names were given as Jim Lewis, Jim Jones and Will Powell, were lynched near Delhi, La., Tuesday, February 25, as the outgrowth of trouble between whites and Negroes, the lynched colored men having been accused of stealing hogs. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, composed of representative citizens of both races, most emphatically protests against this defiant disregard of the laws of your State and against this indefensible attack upon the morale of this nation at a
time when justice and law enforcement at home are essential to national prestige abroad. We protest not only in the name of our ninety branches and ten thousand members for whom we speak directly but in the name of the name of the law-abiding citizens of the whole country who feel chagrined, humiliated and outraged that in the states of our nation mobs are allowed to take the law into their own hands and wreck vengeance upon men because they happen to be black.
These outrages, we would remind you, are not a matter of state concern alone but affect the whole nation. Such acts as this mob lynching because of alleged hog-stealing put the President and the United States in a most embarrassing and difficult position when the executive of the country seeks to protest, however rightfully, against outrages committed in Belgium or Armenia.
This is the second Louisiana lynching reported within thirty days by the press of the country. No reply has yet been made by you to our inquiry of February 6 for information as to any action you might deem fitting to take in the circumstances of a Negro lynched on January 26. For the information of the newspapers of the country which receive our regular press service, we inquire what action you as Governor propose to take to uphold the laws of Louisiana.

DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 16, 1918
A RELIGIOUS AND INDUSTRIAL REVIVAL SWEEPS THE OIL METROPOLIS OF THE NORTHWEST
A Brief Review by Rev. Nathan H. Jeltz
WYOMING—in quite recent times, has flashed into the fore-light of prominence thru the superlatively rich production of almost numberless oil wells which are pouring forth their liquid stream of gold by the thousands each day into the coffers of thrifty and fortunate investors. Led on by this incentive of abundance of oil—which in these times of motor driven power—spells abundance of gold and all that this world aged means of barter and exchange implies or stands for—thousands of pathfinders, vanguards of industry and civilization have rushed into the state to make their fortune and home.
Among these thousands—as have ever been the case in America, 'the Negro has been in it', which is to say, that a goodly number of courageous race men and women have come into the state and 'kicked-in' with other races to acquire a share of the spoil to be obtained.
CASPER, the geographical center of the state of Wyoming and of the Billion Dollar oil era of the same, has grown from a sheep camp to a real metropolis and is growing leaps and bounds with every sunset.
Today, Casper represents a population of some fourteen thousand among whom are probably five hundred—more or less members of the race. And it is of these latter, that we wish to write.
THE HISTORY OF THE HUNTING LANE
Rev. James Otto Minor, the brilliant young pastor of Grace A. M. E, CHURCH, claims our attention first. Not that Bro. Minor was by any means first on the job in the hustle and bustle of the Negro to get a foot hold in Casper, as H. C. Coleman, the financier; and Mrs. Lockheart, the efficient business woman (which two persons own respectively ly, the two beautiful homes shown in the above picture)!these to say nothing of Lyles, Ford, Jones, Hopkins, Broadus, Dally, Boone, Norris, and many others whose names we have not at hand, who have played their part and that well in get ting hold of land, building houses and holding down good jobs and other worth while accomplishments; we name the Reverend first because he was first to lift up the standard of the cross. He came to money-mad Casper last June and dared to tell our peole about Jesus; dared to walk in clean and high places that he might in that wise influence his own to plant the germaine seed of a lasting success in the corner stone of a church in the which the pure gospel of the Christ could be preached.
It is ten times harder to start a church than a saloon; it is ten times harder to dance and drift with the crowd than it is to preach Christ in a new town; it takes courage and real manhood to assume to do that that in a not popular anywhere at anytime, and the man or woman who will do it is not only wise but is ordained and blessed of God and willive to be blessed of his fellowmen.
It was the keen foresight of Presiding Elder R. L. Pope, that put Brother Minor on the job for the Lord at Casper in the right time. Again, it was the sauve. unobstrusive solicitiousness of this same Rev. Minor and that won the respect and support of H. C. Coleman and his beautiful and accomplished wife who from the very start boosted and supported Brother Minor and our church and who assisted him in reaching other hearers, to the extent of some 20 with which number Grace Chapel A. M. E. Church was duly organized.

Coleman, Mrs. Banks, Mrs. Rev. Minor, Miss Willie Young, Mrs. Harris, Mrs. Lockheart, Mrs. White, Mrs. Norris, Mrs. Boone, and Mother Kitrell.
But what about "the big push" against sin made recently, by Ye Scribe in Casper. In brief, this is what the Lord permitted us to do; We launched a ten days fight against old Nick on the first of last month. It was 26 degrees below zero whmn we hit Casper. Things looked a little gloomy for us the first two days, when the sunlight of God's presence burst upon us and we proceeded to 'shell the woods!' We worked hard. Brother Coleman quit a $7.00 a day job and helpep us conducted some 30 odd cottage prayer meetings. We preached in the County Jail and saw three women—all charged with murder, come weeping and throw their poor mangled and bleeding hearts at the feet of the Master. We saw 16 strong men and women; Albert Bonner. Clarence Edmonds, E. D. Johnson, Fred Hopkins, J. H. Stephens, John Boone C. Jones, Wm. Dally, Mesdames Amie Harris, Celie Rucker, Lula Anderson, Dora Edmonds, Wm. Dally, Mamie Mayfield and Miss Willie Young, 'hit the saw-dust trail' and unite with God's church.
We saw these same loyal Casperites lay a collection of $162 17 on the expense table on the closing night. We saw the new church lot that they are paying $450.00 for, and we both saw and aided them in laying their plans for a 1000 Buildidg Rally, to be held May the 12th. Every Negro living in Casper, and most of the Business white people are getting solidly behind this rally, which means that they are going to raise that 1000.00, sure.
H, C. Coleman, the financier, recently succeeded in getting together some 4 fellow race men and organized a Real Estate Association, known as "The Wyoming Colored Realty Company." This Company is incorporated for 35,000.00 and the purpose of the organization is to buy lots in the city of Casper and build apartment houses and cottages thereon. The Company has already secured a beautiful building site and will start building thereon in early spring. $10,000 worth of stock at $1.00 per share will be sold to Wyoming and Colorado investors within the next 90 days. This is the safest and most plausible investment offered the race to day. Better investigate!
Wisely considering, Casper has many plausible opportunities to offer the race. Wages are unusually good; common labor bringing from four to six dollars a day. And we rejoice that a goodly number of our people have gone there and goften in on the ground flour and made a place for those who are and will continue to come and make this their permanent home.
In closing we pray God's richest blessing upon all whom it was ours to meet white preaching the gospel of the Christ there, and we hope to meet them very soon again. Selah!

APRIL 1 LAST DAY FOR FEDERAL RETURNS
Penalties for Income Dodgers Are Severe—Get Your Return in if You Are Liable.
April 1, 1918, is the final day allowed under the federal income tax law for the filing of federal income tax returns. Persons who are required to file returns under the provisions of law and who fail to get their returns in on time are subject to severe penalties, as follows:
For making false or fraudulent return, not exceeding $2,000 or not exceeding one year's imprisonment, or both, in the discretion of the court, and, in addition, 100 per cent. of the tax evaded.
For falling to make return on time, not less than $20 nor more than $1,000, and, in addition, 50 per cent. of the amount of tax due.
If on account of illness or absence from home you are unable to render your return within the time prescribed by law you may obtain an extension of 30 days if a request thereof is filed with the collector of your district before the due date of the return. If this request you must state the reason why the return cannot be filed within the time prescribed by law.
Collectors of internal revenue are not authorized to grant extensions of more than 30 days, but the commissioner of internal revenue has authority to grant a reasonable extension beyond 30 days in meritorious cases. If you desire an extension of more than 30 days your request should be addressed to the commissioner and should contain a detailed statement covering the reasons which make it impossible for you to file your return on or before April 1.
The internal revenue men are now completing their tour of the country, during which they were in touch with the people of every city and town. If you failed to get in touch with the deputy which visited your section it is not too late to get advice. Consult your postmaster as to where the nearest deputy is now. Get your blank form, study the directions and the requirements as shown thereon and make your return without fall if your income was sufficient to come within the bounds named in the law.
It is pointed out by Commissioner Roper that it is important that the people comply with the federal laws as fully as they are complying with the drafts for men and the conservation of foods and fuel. "The war must be paid for," says Commissioner Roper. "Congress has as much right to conscript a just portion of income as it has to conscript our boys. The tax for 1917 is designed to reach moderate as well as large incomes, so that all persons who are in financial position to bear a portion of the heavy government expenses can be assisted in proportion to their ability to pay.
"The man who is barely making a living or barely supporting a family is not affected by the 1917 law. But the man who is able to bear a share of the burden has been reached by the new law, and he should accept his responsibility in the same patriotic spirit that our young men have shown in offering themselves for this great purpose of the country to make the world safe for people of all kinds to live in and to govern themselves."
This tax is one which recognizes women as on an equal basis with men. The unmarried woman or the married woman with a salary must make tax return just the same as any man. Only the woman supporting her mother or other members of her family may take out $2,000 exemption.
Under the law the head of the family is the one whose earning power contributes to the family's support.
Similarly a widow with small children to support can take out $2,000 exemption and $200 additional exemption for each of her children under eighteen. Thus it is intended that the law shall work no hardship to women having to struggle to get along. But each must file return if her income is $1,000.
A man whose wife dies and who is left with small children to support upon a moderate income may also take full exemption under the new tax law and also claim $200 exemption for each of his children under eighteen.
The wildower under the law is a single man and must make tax return accordingly. Married men need not file returns unless they are earning $2,000 or more.
"This is as much a national obligation as the reporting for duty of a man drafted for service with the colors," says D. C. Roper, commissioner of internal revenue. "As it stands, it is much a matter of the man or woman's own conscience. It is for him or for her to determine just how far he is liable to the tax. He must figure his own income and if it reaches the figures named in the law must make faithful report upon it to the proper authority.
"This tax is distinctly a war measure and will be in effect during the war.
"This is a people's tax—it reaches right down into the pockets of the small wage carrier; it makes him a partner in the job of winning the war."

My dear Co-Worker:
I have good news for you. God is answering our prayers. I appeared before the Rules Committee of the House of Representatives, Friday, August 3rd, and that night Congressman Dyer phoned me that the Committee was wonderfully impressed and had decided to recommend that the Resolution, begging Federal Investigation be taken up by Congress. Now, we must win. God will help us if we help ourselves. Keep at it! WORK!
PETITIONS! PETITIONS! PETITIONS are the things that will prove that there is countrywide sentiment and determination back of this demanding that an end be put to mob violence. Now, I will not rest until every Congressman is appealed to to take a stand for justice and protection. Will you get men to sign these Petititions in ink, and you divide the number and send them directly to the members of Congress from your State? Send them to men in the House and in the Senate. See that the work is neatly done so as to reflect the intelligence that there is back of this movement. Tell our people to take pride and pleasure in this. Get influential white friends to sign some of them. Give them the literature and urge them to see their patriotic duty in saving America from mob violence. Get signatures. Every Petition counts.
Fill out the incloses memorandum and send it at once, to me. This memorandum goes to Congressman Dyer. He wants to keep close tab on what is being done by the Colored people themselves.
Send each Congressman one of the inclosed tags. Write a very short letter, telling him you know he is going to hear the voice of his fellow countryman, pleading for justice and protection. Make it bristle with patriotism, but make him feel that this country is facing a problem at home that is no less serious than the problem abroad.
Work with us in this. Pray with us and we will win.

After a long silence, owing to misunderstanding over failure to have notes published, Casper again makes her bid for notice in the columns of The Star. The usual activity continues in this hustling city. The Grace A. M. E. church has at last secured a lot and expects, so say the trustees, to have their edifice ready for service in June. There will be a big "drive" inaugurated soon to raise funds for the building. The revival services closed several weeks ago, which were conducted by Rev. N. H. Jeltz, resulted in the addition of 15 new members to the roll. A Colored auxiliary to the National County Chapter of the Red Cross has been organized and the first benefit of same been held, resulting in about $60 being raised to help swell the fund of this most worthy cause. A splendid program was rendered and two interesting papers were read. The W. M. M. Society met on February 28 with its president, Mrs. Coleman. Its meeting this week will be at the church. The ladies of this society are taking renewed interest in the work and hope in their report at the annual conference to make Casper be recognized as one of the coming communities. The Colored people here are realizing each day their civic strength and possibilities and there will be published soon an account of a business undertaking that will add to the already well-earned prestige, a number of the more progressive citizens. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Moore, formerly of Pueblo, have almost completed their cozy little home on North Center street, but think of renting it as there is such a demand for houses here. It is just probable that the early spring will prompt the building of another house of the same size on their property, which is in an extremely good location for renting, it being a corner lot. The Pond Lily Dud Women's Club, of which Mrs. A. J. Lyles is president, is flourishing and its members are busily engaged in preparing their several articles for display at the State Federation. Mrs. I. V. Banks was recently added to the membership of the Grace church and is preparing to give a play for the church fund that is sure to attract a large audience. It's a screaming cast and includes all of the best local talent. The quarterly meeting will be held here on March 20. Rev. Pope will be here to conduct same.

DENVER TO SHOW ALL STAR
NEGRO PICTURES.
Mr. Brooks, the secretary of the Lincoln Motion Picture Company of Los Angeles California, who has been in this city for a few days enroute to take charge of the company's office at Omaha, Nebraska, has been able to secure a local theatre to show their great productions to the people of Denver.
"The Trooper of Troop K" the above named company's greatest production, will be shown for two days, March 20 and 21, at the PLAZA THEATRE, 1721 Curtis St., and our people will have the full privilege of the entire house. This is the first time that this privilege has been afforded the Race people of Denver, and it is up to the people to come out in large numbers and show their appreciation to the management of this house and their due respect to this greatest of all Negro Producing companies. If you miss this treat it will be something you will long regret.
The LINCOLN productions come well recommended from both press and pulpit from all over the entire country. They have shown in practically every large city in the country and have never yet failed to please our people on the CLASS, DIGNITY and MERIT, that they have in them. This picture portrays in vivid scenes the massacre of the Negro Troopers at Carrizal, Mexico, and the UNFLINCHING BRAVERY OF THE DER FIRE. The War Department has DER FIRE. The War Department has shown these pictures to all of their Negro Cantonments as an inspiration to "our boys" who will soon have to "Go over the Top."
To those that are subject to draft and those who have friends and relatives subject to draft or already in the Army, they should by no means miss this instructive and pleasing picture. The producers should be highly commended for the good that they are doing the Race.
Everybody go and see our own production by our own people at the theatre.
The U. S. Food Administration of the Pinto Bean Division has sent out notices to farmers and shippers that 8 cents per pound will be given them for their Pinto Beans on a recleaned basis and in the bulk. Ten per cent above the stated price will be allowed the shippers for handling, cleaning, sacks, etc., for these recleaned beans.

POND LILIES OUTSHINE ALL
If ever there was an entertainment which was replete with entertainment, fun, encouragement and musical possibility together with excursions of appearing ambitions, it was shown Tuesday night at the entertainment given by the popular and deserving Pond Lily Club. Company E of the Industrial School of Colorado was the entertainer. The folk lore numbers, solos and choruses were rendered in a most pleasing manner, and Mr. and Mrs. Pettiford demonstrated in a most satisfactory way that with encouragement and the right kind of supervision boys can accomplish things next to marvelous. The declamations selected were those that would make our boys admire the noblest of the Negro Race. The program proved to be one of the most inspirational that has been given recently.
Mr. Clarence A. Brooks, Secretary of the Lincoln Motion Picture Company of Los Angeles, California, while enroute to Omaha, was a pleasant visitor in Denver for three days during the past week. Mr. Brooks was a visitor of the Star office.

ROUSE NEWS
The Denver Star proves to be the best race paper entering Rouse. Each issue is awaited for with anxiety. The Allen A. M. E. church is nearing completion—the painters are putting on the finishing touches. When finished it will be a beauty. Many members and friends are deeply interested and have contributed largely toward this enterprise. The "Y" on the 22nd of February pulled off a large program. Many of the Camp-Tons appeared on the stage, and a great time was enjoyed. Some remarkables in papers, speeches and instrumental music were features rarely enjoyed in cosmopolitan localities. The Rouse Silver Cornet Band is making notable headway under its leader and director, Mr. Chas. Mesterson.
The Rouse Farming & Contracting Company have received their tractor and Mr. Clide Winslow has been placed at the stearing wheel. The companyw has already engaged 300 acres to plow.
It would be a pleasure for any race pride man to visit our community. There have been several motoring parties to Walsen of late. Something is in the wind.

The St. Luke A. M. E. church of Welsenburg is putting new life into this community. We think that the people of Walsenburg and Walsen are shutting out much needed light by not reading The Denver Star.

MRS. GENTLE KNIGHT
STATE PRESIDENT
Dear Co-Worker:
I am sending you today the second official call. I know you are getting ready for our great Denver meeting, destined to not only be the largest in our history, but perhaps the most important due to the critical period in which we are living. Will you kindly have this call inserted in your local papers and any other papers that you may have open to you. Our first call was received courteously and affably by the Colored Press everywhere. I am sure this one will also receive the same consideration.
Do not lay this letter aside for tomorrow, but do what you can for our Association today. Has your Club paid its per capita tax to our National Treasurer? She is to make a printed report and if your money is not in by June 1st it cannot be printed, but will be read by her at Denver. The Donglass Home has been redeemed. It has not been restored. We need all the money we can get to restore the grounds and the home to its former beauty. Remember that the women Board of Trustees must be elected to take charge of that home. It will be our official headquarters.
Programs will be ready for distribution May 15th, so you may know what is in store for you at the great Denver meeting. The Chairman of Programs has worked hard. Some have not even answered her many letters, but will be ready to CRITICISE. Now, let me digress: I have been accused of neglecting home affairs for the National good. Recently the Auditorium of my church was destroyed by fire, damaging our building to the extent of $3,000. I am interested in my church and Easter work. We are having a bazaar. I propose to have a booth called the N. A. C. W. and I want all of my good friends to send me something for my booth. Anything will be gratefully accepted, from a pocket handkerchief to a piano. Send me something—nothing will be considered too small.
Let me hear from you very soon. Sincerely your co-worker. MARY R. TALBERT

BOSTON BARS "BIRTH OF A NATION"
Boston, Mass., March 4, 1918. Last week was a great week for the race in Boston. The disgrace of permitting the nefarious "Birth of a Nation" in 1915 was wiped out by the newly-elected Mayor, Andrew J. Peters.
Through the sole activity of the Boston Branch of the National Equal Rights League, the Dixon play was barred by the Mayor. It was being advertised at the movie houses to be given today at the Globe Theatre, Secretary Trotter of the National Equal Rights League was informed of this on Wednesday and that afternoon sent a protest to Mayor Peters. On Thursday at the court session where U. S. Commissioner W. A. Hayes rendered John Johnson of W. Va. a free man, a case started and promoted by the League, a delegation waited on the Mayor. Those present were Pres. E. T. Morris, Mrs. Jane Posey, William D. Bingham, our white friend, Dr. A. B. Lattimore, Prof. Alen W. Whaley, Dr. J. Silas Taylor and William Monroe Trotter, secretary. Mayor Peters said he had, on receiving the League's protest sent for the manager of the Globe Theatre and was having the law examined and would do his utmost to prevent the play which he characterized as most objectionable.
Friday morning's daily papers announced that the manager of the theatre had been to see Mayor Peters and had acceded to his request not to produce the play. Now Boston, instead of being used as our indorser of this "Birth of a Nation" can be used against it. All honor to Andrew J. Peters.

A PRAYER.
Let me do my work each day, and if the darkest hours of dispair overcome me, may I not forget the strength that comforted me in the desolation of other times. May I still remember the bright hours that found me walking over the silent hills of my childhood or dreaming on the margin of the quiet river; when a light glowed within me and I promised my early God to have courage amid the tempests of the changing years. Spare me from bitterness and from the sharp passions of unguarded moments. May I not forget that poverty and riches are of the spirit. Though the world know not, may my thoughts and actions be such as to keep me friendly with myself. Lift my eyes from the earth and let me not forget the uses of the stars. Forbid that I should judge others, lest I condemn myself. Let me not follow the clamour of the world, but walk calmly in my path. Give me a few friends that will love me for what I am; and keep ever burning before my vagrant steps the kindly light of hope. And though age and infirmity overtake me, and I come not within the castle of my dreams, teach me still to be thankful for life, and for time's olden memories that are good and sweet; and may the evening's twilight find me gentle still.

Business League members and business men generally. In order to secure the very best material for this series, I am asking the readers of this paper to write me a letter relating some interesting experience they have had in dealing with Negro merchants If the letter are praise; all the better, but if it is necessary to eriticise, do so but be sure that the criticism is wholly confined to an experience which exhibits some principle in merchandising. If lettsrs are critical, please avoid names as far as expedient without sacrigcing clarity. All letters must be signed but names of writers will not be published without their written consent.
The contst is open to every one and there are no conditions except that the letters should not exceed 300 words and should be in my hands anytime before March 20th 1918. For the best and most interesting letter submitted the sum of $5.00 will be sent to the writer. Address your letter to: Albon L. Holsey, Assistant Secretary, The National Negro Business League, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama.
Chickasha, Okla.,— March 4.—Lieut. Charles Tribbett, a Negro, of the 365th Infantry, National Army, was arrested and taken off a Frisco train
here yesterday, charged with violating the "Jim Crow" law in this state Tribbett, whose home is in Connecticut, was on eis wao $to Fort Sill. He bought a through Pullman ticket to Fort Sill and refused to go into the Jim Crow car when ordered to do so on reaching Oklahoma. He was fined $5.—K: C. Star.
We are under the impression that the United States have taken over the rail roads under their supervision. How can this situation prevail? Do the State laws supercede the United States authority over its own operation.
Washington, March 1.—Apointment of an advisor on Negro labor problems was recommended to the department of labor Friday by the labor aevisory council. It was suggested that he might be either connected with the department or associated with one of the Negro uplift organizations which rececently urged Secretary Wilson to provide a separate bureau for the handllng of Negro labor problems.
The advisory council said a separate bureau did not seem necessary at the present time, but that the administration of the new work might be decided on later.
It is understood Secretary Wilson will choose a repre sentative Negro to assume the duties of the new position.

Or come and report the why.

To win this victory.
They will get old Bill the Kaiser.

ders for Christ,
There was great rejoicing in our

REV. G 3. SAWYER, Paster.
The pastor will leave early next
week for the Annual Conference to
convene in Tulsa, Okla. Sunday is
the winding up day of the year’s work.
It is hoped that every member of the
church will make special effort and
come out to one service Sunday.
The Stewards are asking that the
members and friends make their con-
tribution Sunday especially liberal.
‘They aim to make this an occasion of
special offering to catch up the little
delinquency in the pastor's salary
Several have already pledged them-
selves to give $5 on this occasion.
The Missionary and Church Wel-
fare meeting to be held in the after-
noon will be an occasion of special in-
terest. Many of the most prominent
religious leaders of our people in the
city will be present and speak on va-
rious subjects relative to the work of
the church. This meeting will begin
at 2 o'clock in the afternoon,
In the evening service the pastor
will preach the annual sermon to the
Ladies’ Aid Society. Mrs. Kirkpatrick
has done a great work with this aux-
iliary of the church this year.
The Sunday School is preparing a
very good program f@ the Easter ser-
vices.
Remember the big rally Sunday.
Pastor’s back salary must be raised.

CHURCH NOTES.
Mrs. Viola Washington
| Sunday morning, to an appreciative
‘audience, our pastor preached a re-
freshing’ and much enjoyed sermon.
Text (Psalms 23.)
Many times in our Christian life
this Psalm is our resort for solace.
And although it is a familiar scrip
ture to everyone, God so inspired and
used His Ambassador. to {Luminate
anew this treasure of individual se-
curity, to vindicate how surely the in.
dividual Is kept and protected, whose
shepherd is Jehovah.
‘The four o'clock personal soul win:
ning worker's meeting was well at
tended. The group leaders were given
an assignment of personal workers
cards and instructed by the pastor,
and are now in readiness for real
work, Every group leader and their
group workers are expected to be pre
sent at the Wednesday prayer services
and the four o'clock meeting Sunday.
Our ferverence in prayer determines
our victory.
The Brothers are expected to be
present at the Tuesday evening Bible
study.
The evening text was: “This is a
Faithful Saying, and Worthy of All
Acceptation, That Christ Jesus Came
Into the World to Save Sinners.”
Throughout the argument the pas:
tor commented n the fact that men
willingly accept the authenticity of
all history—but of the facts in the
history of Jesus they are continually
doubtful.
| ‘The pastor declared that “the con-
tinuance of the Christian Church, the
seal of truth after Pentecost, was the
greatest evidence of the authenticity
of the history of Jesus’
Sick lsted: Sister Myrtle Adams,
Sister Anna Gwynn, Sister Gordon,

| Plans are now being made for our
next big Membership Social which will
be held on Friday evening, the 22nd
‘inst. It is our aim to hold it at*Fern
Mali so that we can fully carry out the
complete and unique program which
has been prepared. This program will
include contests of different kinds be-
tween new and old members—such as
checkers, singing, speaking, wrestling,
piano playing, Indian clubs and other
things. It is intended to make it the
best ever held.
Another record-breaking crowd at-
tended the meeting last Sunday after-
noon to hear the discussion of the sub-
ject, “Can the Denver Negro Improve
His Condition Morally, Economically,
and in General?” Dr. Paul Spratlin
was the first speaker, being followed
by Counsellor Blakemore, who re-
sponded in the absence of Dr. West-
brook. The Rey, C. A. Williams’ ad.
dress was a very strong one. He
showed the need of an appreciation of
the fact that the social needs of the in
dividual must be considered as well
as the spiritual and material. The
Glee Club had a short rehearsal after
the meeting,
Next Sunday afternoon an “Efficien.
cy Program” will be rendered, the like
of which has never been held in the
city, The speakers will all be mer
who have been in their present jobs
ten years or more. The general sub
ject will be: “How I Have. Held M3
Job So Long.” A special effort is be
ing made to get a8 many young mer
out as possible. The program will be
gin at 4 o'clock sharp, and all will be
auroajan
Y. W. C. A. NOTES.
A large crowd enjoyed the most
splendid program at the Vesper serv
ices last Sunday afternoon, whict
were led by’ Miss Crutchfield.
‘One of the most interesting pro
grams this year was the Y. W. C. A
vaudeville last Monday night. The
hollse was packed and the young folk
did themselves credit. ‘The orchestra
led by Mr. Atwell Rose, proved a mos'
decided hit. The acrobatic stunts by
the Fisher sisters won the hearty ap
plause of the audience. The playlet
written. by Mr. H. Clay LeNotr, en
titled, “Married Life," and acted by
Mr. LeNoir and Mrs, Ada Clements
was full of laughter which caught the
audience, These two amateur per
formers have promising csreers as
vaudeville comedians, Mrs, Anni
Hicks presented this splendid program
for which she is rece a the thanks
and congratulations of the program
committee and club.

led by Mrs. Viva Bond. An excellent
program has been prepared. ll

Monday night a bean social will be

Gentlemen, Kind Sirs: Please find
space in your valuable paper for this
The Union Revival Services, as
planned by the St. Paul's Baptist and
the Grace A. M. B. churches, is well
on its way, and bids fair to become
one of the greatest religious move-
ments known in Trinidad. As sched
uled, the first ten nights of the series,
began March 4th with St. Paul, Dr. S.
Robert Maguinez in the pulpit. The
organization of cottage prayer meet:
ings, with the daily conferences, of
personal workers’ groups, and the
teams at work throughout the city, un-
der the personal control of the pastor,
Rey. I. Harrison Wallace, gave inspir-
ation to thé crowds that begun to fill
St. Paul's beautiful edifice, from the
first night of the series. Dr. Maxuinez
was in fine spirits throughouts the en-
tire week. And measured to the full:
up to that enviable reputation as
preacher and evangelist, and for
nights St. Paul's seating capacity was
taxed to the uttermost. Two acces:
sions and a large waiting lst is the re-
sult of the five nights of the series.
Interest and enthusiasm at high-water
mark. REPORTER.

on nicely and are looking: toward the
S. 8. convention that will convene in
Shorter A. M. E. church, Denver. The
8. S, are preparing for a big program

J. W. Randolph and J. Dowe are say-
ing for a rainy day; they rank as lead-
ers of our people in church and socte-
ty; wish we had more like them. So
many of our people will not attend
church on Sunday and yet they want
to be called big men and women for
the race, All men and women should
give their respect and service to God
and a man who doesn't respect God
| will not respect the race. Tt ts true,
| no race can rise any higher than Its
source. It is your duty to help lift the

Dr. Mackey's wonderful rheumatic neuralgia, throat and asthma cure, ask about its wonderful results. This is the only ten days' cure on the market taking ten days for rheumatism, two hours and immediate relief for neuralgia, forty-eight hours for lumbago, one week for throat trouble, ten days for asthma and all pains and stiffness in the body, ten days for lung trouble in first and second stage and a guaranteed remedy and destroyer of appendicitis, absolutely guaranteed under the Pure Food and Drug act, serial No. 44333.
Floyd J. Smith, General Agent of the West. at 2851 Welton St. Denver, Colorado.
Dear Sir, I had rheumatism in my right limb and could not walk or put my foot to the floor. I used Dr. Mackey's Liniment and in 30 minutes I felt relief and in 12 hours I had good use of my limbs, and in my judgment Mackey's Liniment can't be too highly recommended.
Your truly,

Mackey's Liniment done me a lot of good. I first taken sick with La Gripe and it turned to pneumonia. Mackey's Liniment stopped the pain in my chest, and gave me relief all over.
Mrs. H. Currie.
Mackey's Liniment is all right. It is the best I have tried. I have tried all kinds, and the best I found for my frozen fingers was Mackey's Liniment. I can guarantee it for frozen hands or any other part of the body. If I had not used Mackey's Liniment I would have lost one of my fingers from being frozen. Mackey's Liniment saved it.
Mackey's Liniment gave me relief and quickly, and I can't say it won't cure, as it done wonders for me. My wife had seven pains and soreness caused from pneumonia; after two treatments Mackey's Liniment gave her permanent relief. Isaiah Ross. 820 Currie Avenue, Pueblo, Colo.
