The only impressions have been encountered by our journalistic barque, but the old ship has weathered the rogious and tempestuous seas and reached port safe and sound, despite fears of some mechanical impressions in malicious machinations of others. During the past four years The Informer religiously arrived to christen wholeness and editorialize on the issues of the day according to its own opinions and best the proof that such a course in meet and proper one has been undertaken and paced deuces understake and resorted to by not a few condemnation and paced deuces racial group. The best instrumental are perhaps, in our human fabric. If they are not necessary, they serve the purpose, for they certainly The Houston Informer, only four years old, has the largest and widest scope in the Southwest, and is conceived as the place of the most poetic piece and spokeman for all forward-looking and spokeman in this society. Without gloring or boasting, we thank to our thank many thousand and maintain such a large circulation us so materially in building up and maintaining such a large circulation foreign, who employ space herein. The Informer management is grateful and capable of producing a better newspaper and establishing a larger bona fide. What The Informer has accomplished in its brief career, we shall not contend with. The Informer's face is set to the morning and its ship lists no doubt the passing breeze. The Informer is in the past. The Informer shall speak the truth and deyance unrighteousness in both church and states as God gives its blessings.

The chief cause of all this establishment of new attendance record was the wonderful film, "The Town That Forget God." Booked originally for three days, so booked and persistent were House onions on seeing the great film spectacle that Manager O. P. DeWalt was forced to hold the picture over another day. The unanimous verdict is that it was one of the best offerings of the season. "Teas of the Storm Country," featuring the popular 104, Mary Pickford, which is booked for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday; and "Monte Cristo, to be shown later, are pronounced as the premiere of a production which drew capacity houses for four days and nights. BENDER HOTEL WAITERS STAGED SPRING PARTY One of the swettest, most odd and unique entertainments of the season was pulled off at Emancipation Park last Thursday night by the Hotel Bentley, a 19th-century ship with Marianne Bentley head water, as manager and director. The客人 was a shirt and shirt waltz in the party, and played the largest attendance of any invitational affair ever staged in the city. Even during the evening were the singing of the walters' quartet, composed of Merrill, James Brunner, and Katherine Hodgson, and sleight-of-hand tricks by Charles Hodgson, who proved himself an artist. An ice course was served and the Lumbanka jazz orchestra furnished the place, and the Chaucer Hodgson, reliably and inducted to their hearts, competed light fantastic to, which all engaged and inducted in to their hearts competently when the finale was played by the orchestra. The Bentley club employs more colored waters than any hostelry its size and standing in the thirty-one-foot-long room, and they seem to be giving entire satisfaction. The and still evergreen novel and new, in one of the many entailments planned by the Bentley water for the summer month. MAIL OF WEST BENEFIT Carnes in Libr TEN-PAGE PAPER SETS HIGH MARK As proof that The Houston Informer is the best medium for advertising purposes among colored people, last week's issue consisted of ten (10) pages, due to an unusual amount of local and foreign advertisements. Most of this copy just came in, as there was no special effort made by the advertising department for more than the ordinary amount of copy. The advertisers realize that The Informer is the paper that reaches more colored people (potential buyers and prospective customers) than any newspaper in South Texas, and since this is true, "The People's Paper" was their natural choice. Another thing: Colored people are learning to spend their money with those advertisers who seek their trade through colored mediums and it is indeed gratifying to see so many of the Informer's advertisers enjoying nice colored patronage. Without gloating, the management feels highly gratified with the volume of advertising in last week's issue and appearing in the issue that marked the end of the fourth year of the paper's journalistic career, made it the more significant and gratifying. By the way, have you noticed that this issue is no slouch and that The Informer carries more advertising than any four colored newspapers printed in Texas' This merely proves our oft-repeated slogan, "The Informer leads, others attempt to follow." Moral "If you don't want the pain of the colored people, then keep you out of the Houston Informer." Race Physician Adds Additional Equipment To X-Ray Instrument An Informer representative, while perambulating in the Taborian building, Wednesday, ran into the office of Dr. Lee, a successful physician, and was agreeably surprised at the wonderful equipment, modern and complete in every detail, that this race doctor has inimitable experience. Besides the X-ray machine, which the医院 installed some bit ago, he has recently added to this equipment an electrical instrument, illuminator for X-ray imaging, to him to do any class of X-ray work. The doctor has fitted up a special room for this work and is doing a deal of special work along this line. Dr. Lee said: "Our people deserve the best in equipment for real scientific research and proper diagnosis of cases, and I have decided that I shall be the best and the most modern equipment that money can obtain. I am now getting more real, genuine joy and pleasure out of my profession than I have ever had. I am always glad to serve my people with the latest scientific instruments." Dr. Lee has, perhaps, the best fitted office of its kind among local colored doctors, and is enjoying a very lucrative practice, which is concrete evidence that an artist or professional who "knows his stuff" and has the skills to succeed in his chosen field of human endeavor. MT. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH SHORTAGE DUE TO TREASURER It seems that all the Ananaxes are not dead: some are yet on the job with the Texas Freeman for their business, the Freeman and its editor will set up and take warning and keep out of the affairs that concerns the church. This article is not intended as a guide to the church, but a statement from the church setting herself right before the public. P. A. HICKS, Church Clerk W. E. C. MATTHEWS, Layman R. T.

E. Miller, member of Emancipation Park Board, presided until officers were elected by the citizens present, it was decided to hold an emancipation day celebration at Emancipation Park on Tuesday, June 19, 1923. Several present spoke on the importance of observing this day annually and urged that the colored citizens of Houston and Harris County observe the race's natal day in Texas this year. The question of a parade was discussed at length, and, after much discussion a vote was taken and the side opposed to a parade this year won out, thus the street pageant, which has not been so creditable the last few years, according to the opinion of the parade opponents, will not be staged. C. F. Richardson was elected chairman and J. Samuel Green, secretary. The following committees and chairmen were elected: Arrangements, J. Sam Green; J. H. Anderson; publicity, Homer E. McCoy; program and entertainment, H. H. Lethridge. It was voted to vest the above officers and committee heads with the power to select the chairperson. The will be announced at a later date.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, MAY 26, 1923. THEATRICAL STUNTS IN CHURCHES What will some of our colored churches do next, we often wonder. For years they have conducted church fairs, bazaars, raffling affairs and other kinds of amusements that would do better conducted in some place other than the house of God. Recently they have thrown wide their doors to style shows and reviews, removing the altar of God that the citadel of Dame Fashion might be enthroned in its place. But the latest thing now in church circles is pure theatrical vaudeville, featuring sleight-of-hand tricks and other acts staged in the "big time" theatrical circuit. No wonder people are losing respect for the church, when it indiscriminately lets down the bars and permits anything to be pulled off not only in the church building, but even in the pulpit, merely because an admission fee is going to be charged and some of the proceeds donated to the pastor or some auxiliary of the church. What is the mission of the church and for what purpose was it originated and established? Should the temple of God be thus desecrated by such worldly stunts and is it possible for the Holy Spirit and these carnal and theatrical amusements to occupy the house of Jehovah at the same time? If sinners can visit a church and witness the same stunts and acts seen at some theatre or medicine show, what impression can the church ever hope to make upon said sinners in pointing and leading them to higher and nobler things? Talk about your idol gods, but it is beginning to look like too many of our churches are setting up and worshipping the almighty dollar instead of the Lowly Nazarene. In all earnestness and sincerity, The Informer can not subscribe to the prevailing idea and practice that the temple where God is supposed to meet man and man worship and commune with his Maker, is the proper and right place for staging theatrical performances. If these acts and practices continue, it will not be long before we shall be witnessing marathon dancing contests, boxing bouts, wrestling matches and hippodrome bills in some of our churches. If Christ became righteously indecent at the money changers defiling and polluting the temple and chased them out, we wonder what He would do were He to visit some of our churches and witness a vaudeville performance taking place right where the altar should be? If churches must stage or sponsor vaudeville performances and theatrical shows, let them rent some secular place, such as a hall or theatre, and there conduct such program. But let us preserve the sanctity and sacredness of the church by holding or staging nothing in it that savors of worldliness and that even borders on or approaches the theatrical; for as often as we tolerate or condone such, we simply weaken the church as a force for permanent and lasting good and as a human instrumentality for the salvation of souls and reclamation of mankind.

THE INFORMER'S PLATFORM: THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, MAY 26, 1923 Wiley captures the baseball pennants of the Southern Athletic Association and wins a few low-lows; outcome of the first game with Texas College was never in doubt after the first inning, which Wiley captured a two time double, Lester Wiley's two and two runs during the entire game. Wiley's game was an uplift affair for Wiley, as he had a head early and held it until the eighth inning, when Wiley tied the game with a 10-9 victory. The scoring win, Baker and Lucas picked this latter game for Tex. Lucas went in against Paul Quinn in Waco with one day of rest and held Dykes a home in the eighth for Paul Quinn's lone run. Paul Quinn's offerings easy the next day and hammered out a 14-3 victory. This was Wiley's only defeat of the game. In the next game played in Marshland "Hunter of Prairie View held Wiley's first game after which Wiley resorted to a type of baseball strategy" in the next game, which Wiley runs in one inning, which were sufficient to win the game. Lester and Dykes did the same in the next game, defeated Prairie View in the next game. He showed unusual coolness. Wiley and Bishop met April 27 and he came to war with, and with steering, the missed Locas, Wiley's hurry, for five runs in the first inning, but he came strong, and with steering, the missed Locas, Wiley's hurry, for five runs in the first inning. Wiley played an uphill game nearly all the way, scoring a score 4-5 in favor of Bishop and two in favor of Locas, but he left deep to center for a double with no one on bases, stole, third, and fourth. He attempted to catch Pace stealing second, when he had walked a minute before the game was called at the end of the inning. The next game was a walkaway for Wiley. Bishop was no far outclasses that her best was to stave off the final games with Samuel Hutton. The final games were with Samuel Hutton, who started the first one for Samuel Hutton, was taken out in the first inning, the lead he team gave him early in the second game was easily won by Wiley. Athletic Director "Himmel" Wetter, Coach Cox and others who assisted in the first inning, received credit, to the staining of the different teams when the season closed, May 12.
