Graham Lands Second Prize Leader Innis of City Band Wins Second Greatest Honor Yet Given West and Race It is not generally known by the citizens of this community that living in their midst is a modest, unassuming individual whose genius for musical composition has finally placed him in the very front rank of the greatest composers of the country. There are many of the close friends of Mr. W H. Graham, 2809 Welton W. H. GRAHAM, THE WEST'S GREATEST NEGRO COMPOSER, WON THIRD PRIZE IN ARMY MUSICAL CONTEST. Street, for the 15 years one of Uncle Sam's most efficient railway clerks, who are not aware that his talent for composition has placed upon the market during the past decade some of the most stirring march music and popular songs known to the present generation; but to these will come a double surprise in learning that Mr. Graham's musical reputation has now been made permanent and secure thru his success in a competition participated in by more than one thousand composers. Last fall Maj. Wood, commanding the 89th Division, National Army, stationed at Camp Funston, desiring an original composition to be dedicated as the "official March of the 89th Division", and expressing in its theme the free open life of the western plains and mountains. "distinctive of American Democracy," opened a free contest to all musicians residing in the seven states from which the 89th Division had been drawn. More than one thousand, some among the nation's most gifted composers, responded. To a committee of the high est musical critics this amazing mass of composition was turned over, from which to select the "seven best pieces," the first to be designated as above, "The Official Division March," the remaining six to be dedicated, one to each of the regiments making the division. The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 The final decision was left Lieut John Phillip Sousa, the world's famous march king, who gave first place to Arthur Prior the great cornetist and conductor, second to F. N Innis, conductor of Denver's Municipal Band and a composer of international reputation, and third place to our own W. H, Graham. Real Christianity Clashes with Prejudice Which Permeates in America. According to the Kansas City Post, Lieutenant Sonsa was warmly enthusiastic over the high class of music submitted to his judgment, and warmly praised Mr. Graham for the strength and beauty of his composition. The specifications under which the contest was held required, that a new and a original composition be submitted, that the music be expressive of the western idea of "American Democracy,' and be so arraing ed as to be effective for the use of the military band. "Where does America Stand in this theory of "chosen people?" America by her laws, traditions and Christianity denies that theory; she denies that God has chosen anyone people as His own; she asserts rather that there are many civilizations, each with its own merits and defects, and that to each must be left the working out of its own problems We,—the people of the United States—Americans, true and loyal are unable to understand, or sympathize with, a people who conceive of themselves as a chosen people, chosen of God—a people to whom all things and actions however unhuman or brutal, are regarded as permissible even holy because of a faith in their superior mission and civilization. To us such a belief is direct evidence, not of a leading, but of a lagging civilization." Our country is passing thru a real test by fire not only of its men on the battlefront and in the trenches of Europe, but of those who have remained behind in this country who are asking, because of the many things which savor of unfairness "Is America testing her God?" Who is this God, upon whom we have been calling and relying so long? Is the God we now have so much faith in a tribal, racial or a white man's God or a God especially for the United States? Will such a God whom we have been serving, and whom we know likes not color prejudices, race discriminations, and all kinds of petty and mean jealousies and injustices, bring us now safely and successfully thru and over our pretended and veneered form of Christianity, as we go to the end of this perilous journey? O! America examine, yourself. How often already has and how readily now does the Negro, the most despised and rejected among your citizenship, stand loyally, valiantly, cheerfully and patiently by, pouring out his life's blood, repairing his broken heartstrings injured thru mobs and lynchers and bearing his heavy sacrifices of bleeding souls, while in the United States alone, of all civilized lands, these atrocious outrages are heaped upon him? O, America in your rapid strides of progress, advancement and intellectuality, have you thought of your God as a God of nations or a God of a particular race or color? If such is your selfish Diety, will it avail you much to call now upon Him, when all nations, all races are fighting and struggling alike and side by side to be like Him, developing as rapidly as you and others will permit to be all that the Great Master intended? Can America afford to preach and teach one thing and prepare to do and actually practice another by permitting Jim crow cars, Jim crow depots and Jim crow apartments even in the army while forbidding all opportunities to Negroes in the Navy while she calls upon a fair, All Seeing and Just God? O! America we love thee, we die for thee, but we implore thee to look well to thy fate, review the penalty paid by Belgian for the Congo wrongs, by the Turk for the Armenian wrongs, by the Russian on the account of the Jewish barbarities. That our friend and fellowcitizens should have earned such eminent standing in the highest of all arts, musical composition. is a triumph for himself, and reflects great glory upon his race. Among many other compositions which have appeared above the signature of this gifted Negro are,"Grenadiers'March "Chevalier March," Postal Alliance March," and a recent popular song, here comes Uncle Sam." These numbers may be secared at Knight-Campbell, this city, or from other leading publishing thru out the country. Corporal Hagwood Gets Two Years for Assault to Murder Found guilty of assault to murder by a court martial composed of officers of the Colorado national guard, Corporal Charles Hagwood of Company A., of the home guard has been sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. Hagwood shot and seriously wounded William Cheesebrough, another soldier, at Idaho Springs January 18th. Both he and Cheesebrough were members of a detachment guarding the Idaho Spring water works. America cannot serve a God whose purpose is to create maintain and perpetuate a racial, religious and social prejudice. The God America should serve is a Diety whose Key note is service for the other fellow, and whose object is to bring all sections close together into one great compact nation through the common understanding of real justice, equality and freedom and not alone by "lip or paper' principles. This is the time of all times when the Supreme Being that America Serves should make her one strong nation with a strength of unity. The following Executive Board was elected by the Five Point Speer Club: Mesdames Nancy Sloan, R.B. Anderson, Effie Waldron. J.H. Wright, E, R. Page, W. S. Evans and J.W. Hawthorne. Note well England might have squeezed ignorant and uncivilized countries and nations, likewise Germany and their blood is freely flowing in Europe now. This changing mind about God, this recasting of a tribal or racial God into one whose plan for the world has a place for all peoples—not one which one race may deign to give—is a part of the peculiar and weighty change in attitude of mind toward a true and just God who has become the hope of saving society as well as, the instrument of one's personal salvation. Now as our sons and daughters, black, white, brown and yellow, in this testing fiery trial of blood, carnage and bursting shells go forth, let all America, search her mind, examine the heart bend her arrogant will to discover her true soul that the curtains of our lives might be so drawn and circled about ourselves as to make each and every one be able to endure and be strong in the task which belongs peculiarly to us. But this is not all. For out beyond the bounds of our own life private as well as national, God acts also as the God and Father of the other person who finds himself in another situation, with other inheritances of customs and ideals, owning other allegiances than ours. Someway, somehow, and an sometime this other unimportant, despised, neglected, backward and discriminated person, group of persons or race Excerpt from the Speech of Col. Moss --- 367th Infantry Col. Moss made a ringing speech in which he said: Not only does the presentation indicate the delicate respect these givers feel for our colored soldiers, but it also exemplifies the friendship this club always has felt for the soldier and patriot who sprang from slavery—a friendship based on the principle of a square deal for all men. DENVER. COLORADO. SATURDAY. MARCH 30, 1918 "Bring The Colors" Told Negro Reelment. Is America Testing Her God? New York, March 24-The lads of the 367th United States Infantry, Camp Uptons crack colored regiment, marched up Fifth Avenue yesterday and they were about as shining and spic-and-span a vision as has burst upon the appreciative gaze of flag adorned Fifth Avenue in a long while. Whom Have ye Served? Every lad of them had substitutes for a couple of mirrors handy in the shining upperworks of the tan boots that he bumped rhythmically over the w E t i s s w h t black asphalt. Every pair of garters looked as if mammy had just given them a before Sunday school scrubbing. The uniforms looked as if they had just come home from the tailors in time. You looked at the soldiers and thought nothing could be straighter, or shinier, or dashinger than them. And then you caught your first glimpse of the colored officers, and swallowed your foolish thoughts whole. And, meanwhile, the whole shining outfit, from gleaming boots thru flashing teeth to to glittering bayonets was rolling past with a slim waisted, lean flanked, little muscular ness, peculiar to its race. The parade started from he old 69th Armory, Lexington Avenue and 26th Street, and stopped for about half an hour in front of the Union League Club House, where Gov. Whitman presented a stand of colors for the club to the regiment. must figure in the plan of God. Will it be now? The community of responsibility for the contributory causes of the war makes it impossible for us to believe that only one nation or race is the especial ward of a justice, loving and kindhearted God. Yet America's entrance into Cuba, Porto Rico, Haiti, Phillipines and Hawaii and her record there, would cause those black subjects to ask. "Does America's religious professions and self-evident principles of self-gov The Governor, with his staff, and Brig. Gen Evan M. Johnson, went from the reviewing balcony in front of the club house to the street, make the presentation. Col. James A. Moss, commander of the regiment, stood in a lit tle hollow made by his men drawn up on either side. In his speech, the Governor said: "Four times have colors been presented by this famed club to colored soldiers upon the very ground where to colored soldiers stand today. Four times have those colors come back to this historic spot, spot, sometimes tattered and torn, it may be. but al- The Presbyterian Church will have exceptional good Easter services.

On behalf of the Union League Club I commit to your keeping the most sacred trust ever committed to man—the flag of the United States of America. Bring it back victorious! were the words of the Governor as he handed over the colors to Col. Moss. After that the buglers played. Then the band rendered "The Star Sprangled 'Banner and the dusky soldiers and the onlookers of all colors sang with uplifted faces while the warm spring sun bathed the new banners in brightness And then the outfit got under way again and kept right on through to 110th St., to Lenox Avenue to 138th street to 17th avenue to 125th street. Its band played 'Dixie' on the least provocation, and on the last lap of the journey the welcome got more and more noisy and happy.

Mr. Moore lived some distance from Fitzroy square, says the author, and it was doubtful whether he could walk as far as our house. That was very disappointing to me, for my parents’ frequent allusion to the poet had in- creased my anxiety to see him. But at last the long-desired opportunity came. One day, when I was playing in the square,-I suddenly saw the queerest of little men in the queerest of rough beaver hats on a very big head. Instinct told me that this must be Thomas Moore coming to pay the long-desired visit, and I rushed !hdoors and informed my parents. Of course I was ridiculed. Since I had never seen the poet, how did I Know it was he? Besides, he was much too decrepit to walk so far, Tt was absurd, preposterous! Then the front doorbell rang. Moore was an- pounced, and it was my turn to laugh. T can see him now as he appeared to me then, a stout little man dressed in a tall coat, with a high collar. He had a fascinatingly clever and shrewd- ly kin! face, the face that cheers men’s lives and frightens no one. Before he was in the house many er hé had me seated on his knee. “What is my name?”‘he inquired. “Tell me, my dear, do you know who Tam?" “You are Tommy Moore,” I said with a laugh; “little Tommy Moore,” and then catching the look of horror on my mother’s face, I grew suddenly grave, and eald with great decorum, “Mr. Moore.” ‘The sudden change in my manner Aispleased the poet, and he sald qui. etly: “Try again, girlie; try again!” Upon which I cried out with great glee: “Little Tommy Moore! Little Tom my Moore !” ‘Moore was delighted, and the friend ship that had come within an ace d dissolation was forthwith permanently | renewed. Duty. Duty, be it a small matter or a great, is duty still, the command of heaven, the eldest voice of God. And it ts only they who are faithful in a few /things, who will be faithful over many things.—Charles Kingsley. Ben Franklin's Simple Diet. Tt is amusing to read how Bée Franklin thrived on a biscuit, or 2 slice of bread, a haniful of ratsins, or 'a tart from the pastry cook and & glass of water, varied at times by tolled rice or a potato, or a hasty pud- ding of his own making. Upon thla fare grew America’s greatest states man and the world's greatest philoso- pher. The rich and ambitious. youth of these (lays would scorn such a diet, holding that lt was the eating that made the man. But Benjamin not only saved time and money by his néw diet, but as he rays: “I made greater progress from that greater clearnest of head and quicker apprehensios which generally attended’ temperance in eating and drinking.” ‘141 abstemt- ous life did not seem to du‘ract-from his health, but rather cont-ibuted to bis longevity, for he lived to Se sighty four years old, errs SOT EE TRO rere See, Remember Our Boys via ee ith Send all kinds of Pennants, and Souvenir Ornaments, Tobacco OUR SAMMIES CUT OUT THIS SUBSCRIPTIO N BLANK AND MAIL IT TO THE DENVER STAR ron ¢ MONTH $1.00 FOR 6 MONTHS 1026 19TH ST., DENVER, COLO.

PHONE CHAMPA 2962 1026 Nineteenth Street, Denver, Colorado SUBSCRIPTION RATES: . THE MOORFIELD STORY DRIVE FOR 50,000 MEMBERS FOR THE N. A. A. C. P. Upon entering the reception room of Dr. Westbrook's office, 25 Good Block, one is greeted by the following striking notice. "Politically free from disfranchise ment. No race in all history ever had a more commanding slogan than this. When Mr. Moorefield Story, former president of The American Bar Association and now president of our National body, appeared before the U. S. Supreme-Court last May to argue the Loomisville segregation case, he positively refused to accept a cent for his service, and later, when the Supreme Court handed down that memorable decision declaring all such ordinances to be unconstitutional, he again refused to accept money tendered him by grateful negroes, and said the only tribute of honor he asked was that we build our membership up to at least 50,000. Should we not, as citizens proud of our growing into the fuller enjoyment of our rights, freely and unstintedly pay this humble tribute to Moorefield Story, the eminent Boston attorney who knows men by their worth and not by their color. He is our foremost white champion of manhood rights in America today. He is the very re-incarnation of Sumner and Garrison, those great yearning soils to whom God spoke. The Denver Branch asks the citizens of this place to do their part. May 1st is the date set for this number to be acquired. Join yourself. Ask your white friends to join. In asking for a membership of 50, 000, Mr. Story virtually asks that many Negroes to clasp hands and stand in a solid phalanx for their own uplift, protection and advancement. TROOPER OF TROOP K SURPRISES THE MOST SKEPTICAL. Last week our hearts were made to feel proud for two days, March 20 and 21, because Mr. Brooks of the Lincoln Motion Pictures had come into our town and had arranged with the management of the "Plaza Theatre" to run in connection with his pictures, the film, "The Trooper of Troop K." The first day's run was light, but as soon as the people could be told about it, the next night witnessed crowded house and the management of the theatre was tickled to death at his new venture and asked that the picture be repeated and a fair chance given for all the people to see it. The Star cannot praise the picture too much, because of the richness in grandeur in colors portraying Mexico's waste land with burning sands, then the characters seemed natural, graceful and interesting to study as they acted their respective parts. The scenes in the picture are so natural that one believed for a moment he was upon the streets. The funny part was true to nature with nothing reflecting or embarrassing to the most sensitive. In all the Star thought the picture was classy, artistic and distinctive, and one that the race can feel justly proud. Our own Noble Johnson was all that can be said of a veteran actor. Little did the people of Colorado Springs know that such ability lay hidden and dormant in that boy when he rode "horses" at Roswell, Colo. If this picture returns let everybody go and see it. Take the children for ambition's sake. Mr. George W. Gross, the representative in Denver of the Lincoln Motion Picture Co., and who is president of the N. A. A. C. P., stated that the reason a greater financial success was "Socially free from insult." $2.00 1.00 .50 Fish rate, all subscriptions must be paid on.

He says that he will try to have the picture return so that the majority of the folks of Denver, that did not see the picture, can have an opportunity to see the picture. It was the greatest thing yet produced by our people in art work. If it comes again let everyone see it. Wm. Pullens, editor of the Southern Standard of Macon, Ga., produced a very neat and attractive anniversary issue last week. Good boy! do it again, Brother Pullen. Brother helped us out last August when we were short of labor. THEODORE DRURY OPREA-IM TINENTAL RECITAL TOUR. Our city may look forward to an appearance here in Song-Recital of Theodore Drury, formerly of New York, but now of Boston, Mass. Mr. Drury has produced, with all Colored talent, such operas as "Alda," "Faust," "Carmen," "Cavaleria" and "Pagliacci." This will be his first trip West since he returned from Europe. The Recitals will be unconventional, as scenes from operas will be sung in costume. The Harris-Caldwell Engineering & Air-Nautical Co. recently incorporated under the state laws of Colorado for $100,000, stock to be divided into 100, 000 shares of $1. par value. We are offering 10,000 shares of this stock at the special introductory price of 50c per share. This Company was formed for the purpose of building and putting before manufacturers and the U. S. Government an aeroplane motor possessing some very remarkable and necessary qualities. Among them are extreme lightweight and high economy. The Company owns a patent, including those featured, and Mr. Harris, the inventor and designer of this great motor, after having studied and operated engines for some ten or twelve years, realized the need for an aeroplane motor possessing GREAT POWER, LIGHT WEIGHT, and, above all, RELIABILITY. And for seven years has labored and kept his fingers on the pulse of the motor world, and during that time the aeroplane motor has developed rapidly, but not rapid enough to meet the demands. From the beginning Mr. Harris studied the peculiar requirements of the aeroplane motor and to that end developed the engine that will be the dominant motor of its type. This is the kind of motor that the U. S. Government wants—that the Allies need. A motor that will be so far ahead of anything that the enemy can build, that it cannot be duplicated unless captured. A motor possessing these so much desired qualities (light weight and reliability) to such a degree heretofore thought impossible. This is the kind of motor we have. The conservative man or woman will do well to invest in this Company, backed by honest men and women; invest, no matter if you only buy 10 shares or whether you buy 1,000 shares, you will be proud to own stock in this Company. 10 shares of stock at 50c per share, $2.50 down and $2.50 per month; 25 shares, $2.50 down and $2.50 per month; 50 shares at $5.00 down and $2.50 per month; 100 shares at $5.00 down and $0.00 per month. Just 30 days at this price. Get your stock from any of these Directors: I. Albert Harris, 2436 Emerson St., President; Frank S.

This Easter Sunday is to be a magnificent occasion in "Little Lunnon." It is to be expected that the finest weather of the country will be in evidence here that day. The churches will take the lead in celebrating the Resurrection of the Christ, and extend greetings to all mankind. It is the closing Sunday of the special "Go to Church Month," and everybody will be expected to attend services on that day. The order is for the sermon to be given in the morning, the Sunday School program in the afternoon and special music at night. Rev. W. L. Darius has been reissigned to the People's M. E. Church for another year to the gratification of members and friends. Mr. James Grant is dangerously ill at his home on N. Cooper St. Miss Josephine Rollins entertained the Junior Missionary Girls on Friday afternoon. Easter souvenirs were handed out. A magnificent audience was present at the Annual Sermon to the Knights of Pythias, and Court of Calanthe last Sunday at Payne Chapel. The sermon was delivered in a masterly way by the Rev. A. W. Ward, pastor. The Alamo Hotel is to have its dining room closed for a few weeks in order to remodel for the coming season. Mr. F. Loper is the very efficient head waiter there. Mr. George Robinson is able to leave the hospital for home this week. Mr. Walter Jones spent Sunday in Pueblo. The Junior Choral Society gave a splendid Palm Sunday Musical at Payne Chapel last Sunday evening. They plan to have this feature repeated once each month. Mrs. J. Marshall is on the road to recovery at St. Francis Hospital. Mrs. B. B. Smith of Wichita, Kans., and Mrs. Sam Smith of Oklahoma City, and Mr. J. Dean of Chicago, were worshippers at Payne Chapel Sunday. Bishop Irving Johnson spoke to an appreciative audience Sunday afternoon at the Episcopal Church service. Cards are out announcing the marriage of Miss Myrtle Reed, one of Colorado Springs' belles, and Lieut. Charles L. Holmes at New port News. They will be at home after April 15, at 313 W. Monument. Visitors to the city on Easter are cordially invited to spend the day at "That Friendly Church," Payne Chapel. The Easter sermon, by the pastor, will be delivered at eleven o'clock. At three o'clock the Sunday school will present a beautiful pageant, followed by baptism. At the evening service the chorus-choir will present the Easter cantata, "The Conquering King," Lorenz. Dinner will be served in the dining room of the church beginning at noon so that all may be present at the services all day. Miss Henrietta Patterson, who is recognized as an artist in her line, will have charge of the dinner. She has also complimented the church with the beautiful decorations for the day. Miss Henrietta Page is able to be out from recent illness. The Union Passion Week services of the week were well attended at Payne Chapel. The pastors of the city delivered splendid messages on the incidents of the closing week of Christ's ministry. Holy Communion was observed on Thursday night. PINTO BEAN HELPS OUT. Forty-one Million Pounds Contracted for by Government. O. H. Liebers, head of the Plate Bean Division, U. S. Food Administration, has contracted forty-one million pounds of beans from growers in Colorado, New Mexico and adjoining states. This amount is considered to be at least 80 per cent of total amount available. Contracts are coming in daily from growers and all indications are that the division will get at least 95 per cent of the 1917 crop of Pinto beans still unsold. One million pounds of extra choice seed has been stored at the following points: Denver, Greeley, Trinidad, Clayton, New Mexico and Albuquerque, New Mexico. This seed will be sold to growers at the $8.80 price plus local freight, cost of storage, insurance and other incidental expenses. The price should not exceed $9.15 per cwt. For this, the grower is getting an unusual quality of dry land Pinto beans, recleaned and well sacked. Last week the Food Administration had orders for immediate shipment as follows: 50 cars to Boston, 50 cars to New York City, 50 cars to Philadelphia and 50 cars to Chicago. These shipments will average 80,000 pounds per car. The Food Administration expects to keep moving these beans as fast as they can get equipment and orders for them from the eastern markets. It should be noted that this is the first time that Pinto beans have been shipped to these eastern consuming centers. After the Food Administration gets through placing this year's crop on the market, the east will be as familiar with the Pinto bean as it is with the Navy. This should practically solve all future troubles in getting a satisfactory market for Pinto beans. The United, States food exposition at the Auditorium in Denver, April 5 to 12, will follow out the work of conserving to supply the country's fighting forces as outlined in talks last week by speakers sent out by the national Food Administration. It will be shown how to cook without lard, save 50 per cent on white flour, conserve fats and the many other details that are becoming so important in the kitchen. It will also be advised to use Colorado-grown products whenever possible, as that will aid in relieving the car shortage. A COMMUNITY ENTERPRISE. It is the expectation of the directors of the Colored American Mercantile Company to open sometime next week a fully stocked grocery and meat market at Five Points. The location is the old Five Points postoffice, and is, without question, one of the most commodious, convenient, and attractive store rooms in that section. The fixtures are all in, the estimated amount of the stock has been subscribed and an advance payment has been made sufficient to warrant that the Colored people of this city are not only behind the movement, but are determined that a full demonstration will be made of the entire capability of the race to both serve and patronize itself. The Board of Directors are convinced that the charge of disloyalty that is commonly laid at the door of the Negro is wholly untrue. It believes that the Negro is both loyal and proud of his race; and if given the opportunity will prove his preference to doing business with his own folks, rather than those of the other race. But, notwithstanding this, the directors fully realize that the day is past when black men may expect the patronage of black men simply on the ground that all are black. This argument may, and does, have its weight, but economically and in simple justice he who seeks the patronage of his fellows in commercial affairs is obligated, first of all, to render one hundred cents worth of services for one dollar. If this condition is not met a black man, no more than a white man, is under no obligation to spend his money with that concern. This is the simple philosophy which will underlie the management of the Colored American Mercantile Company, and upon this basis the management anticipates a large response. The day of opening will shortly be announced, when the community will be invited to inspect the outlay, in clean, fresh stock, which has been made for its service. One of our friends in Arapahoe County has been kind enough to mail us this clipping taken from the Arapahoe Herald of Littleton, Colo., of Mar. 1st, 1918. It is as follows: CAMPBELL ACQUITTED AGAIN. A jury before Judge J. C. Wylie, of Del Norte, assisting Judge Class, found Stephen Campbell, a Negro, not guilty of perjury in testimony given in a previous case in which he was found not guilty of stealing two horses, property of George Pruitt, Englewood, from the ranch of Mrs. Ida Smith. Campbell was acquitted in the first case largely on the strength of a bill of sale, alleged in the second case to have been forged by Campbell, Herbert Bingel and other prisoners in the county jail, on jail stationery. George G. Ross, Denver's eloquent Negro attorney, defended Campbell in both cases.—3-1-18, Arapahoe Herald. We thank our farmer friend for calling the same to our attention, as we had never seen the same. IN THE COUNTY COURT SUMMONS IN DIVORCE, No. 55912. State of Colorado, City and County of Denver, ss.

Floyd J. Smith. General Agent of the West. at 2515 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, J. M. Mason. Phone Champa 1712. 2536 Welton. 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. 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. According to the ancient Hebrew calendar next Sunday is the anniversary of the most blessed day in the history of this earth! The day on which there burst forth from the prison-house of darkness a NEW LIFE to gladden and enrich the world! The angels sang at the Savior's birth, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." But as glorious as was the dawning of that gladsome day "when David's greater son was born," yet it but shone in the borrowed light of that more glorious morn, when with "a great earthquake," * * * the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone "from the door" of the sepulchre, and He, the Conqueror of Death and the eternal King of Life, came forth, saving.

RISEN "I am the resurrection and the Life; he that believeth in Me, tho he were dead, yet shall he live again; and whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die." What wonderful words! The dead may yet live, and the living believer shall never die! This is the message of hope borne to a stricken world upon the wings of Easter morning. And whatever our religious convictions relative to the ritualistic observance of the day; whatever our notions concerning the controversy relative to fixing the actual anniversary of the resurrection, it is a good thing for all men, in some fashion, to reverently give heart adoration to Him whose death and resurrection have brought "life and immortality to light thru the gospel."
