WILL THE COUNCIL ACT?
The city council has been petitioned by a rising number of colored Houston to gravel several streets in the colored residential sections in the city, Pitch and Fath wards and to permanently pave Dowling street from Preston to Jasper Avenue. From General Joseph F. Wolters, chairman of the local committee, made an earnest and impassioned plan for more colored citizens, as not mere "colored people" but "colored people" here. Here are the streets the commission is asking the city fathers to build.

Fifth Ward
Clark street, Nance to Odin ave. or Providence street, HIL to Charlotte street, Lorne to Quitanne street.
This is a worthy appeal and if the cities are to be represented in the petition, comps as it does from several of the leading white and colored cities in Houston is practically hopeless. Too long have the various municipalities colored the colored cities in this and other colored white cities been in different and apathetic regarding the public-colored white cities been different and apathetic regarding the colored residents of this community.
All of which bring us to our subject, Tuesday, April 15. Won at Tuesday, April 15, on the diamond at the state school. Won at Pendleton, land clashed on the diamond the previous day, and Petelea Vie won 4 to 1, completely winning. When the hour arrived for the Tuesday game, a big argument arose over the decision. The game was not reached; and, despite the fact that there were spectators on the side, empathy will witness the state, empathy will witness the state.

To walk off the field and reduce to play a game even before the umpires have taken notice of the situation, to render decisions and function, to handle flacky to the conduct of this department's sports and to the opinion of defensors and coaches, to defend or be held responsible, to disappoint the spectator, disguise their schools and reflect discreetly the actions of the team, or excuse for their unwarranted failure to play a scheduled event if the conference has no method of resolving the situation, or such unpatriotic practices, then the organization is a complete failure and the team must not suffer the better it will be for all concerned. Organizations, rules and regulations are unreasonable and inconsistent. We are not willing to sit in judgment of our people, if they can not have their blunder made at Franklin View Stadium made at Franklin View Stadium should never happen again on a college diamond in Texas, or the. The officiates of the conference should take cognition if and invest in the management of our place where it rightfully belongs; to do otherwise will deflect the purpose of the event and promote and reward it.

Glorious Gospel of Easter Day
By Rev. Stephen Pawton to Go
And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Jesus, sweet spice, that they might and endure him. He was Jesus and endure him. He is not here. Bebek the mother of Jesus, that they had ill. Mark—Mark 16.1.6.
HE Sabbath came and went over the grave of its Lord. He was Jesus. He was garden, broken only by the mutilated sentients who chatted with them. We did not know what the disciples did on the Sabbath day. Probably they spent the day in the retirement room. Their thoughts were nailed to that Cross on Calvary, and their spirits were pall of that tragic of Good Friday.
N w comes the first revelation of the risen Christ. "Mary," He says, in his address, and in a moment her sorrow is turned into joy. It is always a life. The living Christ is the worst great joy-benger. Without Him, our thoughts can only be thoughts of death. With Him we enter into the vastness of which life is only the outer court. Life! Death! They seem to be the very antipodes of thought. We have the exclusive, but Jesus has taught us that out of life death is to arise. The Resurrection of Jesus is the ground in a day when men seek positive grounds of thought and action, and the ending power of the Resurrection is its fact. A sentiment has its day.

(By the Associated Negro Press.)
(Washington, D. C.-Today) There are about 4,800,000 colored communicants in the Christian churches of America. Within forty years time, the number of black students literacy from 70 per cent to 22.9 per cent. Colleges and schools have not only been built and opened to millions of black students, but have standardized of these schools have been raised so that they have gained the white schools in the country. It is safe to say that a great majority of the black schools in the country have higher schools of learning. But what sort of ministers, once this big formation of ministers, can be given them for spiritual leaders. Each year the church is asking for 1,500 educated colored men to enter them. Of the 1600 called, only 100 have ever attended a divinity school; the rest have been recruited to be to be recruited from the salty. It is this great number of ill-equipped black men a year after year; and yet they are expected to hold a great people, rapidly gaining in intelligence, to the church

CHRIST LIVES TRIUMPHANT NOW!
“He is not here; He is risen as He said!"
This message, coming from the angelic guardian of the sepul-
chre'on that extly Sabbath morn, struck awe and consternation
Hato the hurts o¢ Christ's Tolowers who sought Him in phe
tomb.
‘Though He foretold His triumph over death, the true import and
significance of His statement and declaration had never been fully
comprehended and realized by those who followed Him daily and
‘saw Him perform such works, deeds and miracles as no other
man had ever done.
“Though He came to die and expiate His life upon the Roman
cross for the salvation and reclamation of man, the true purpose
of His mission was misunderstood by those nearest and closest
to Him, and when He breathed out His life upon Golgotha's rugged
heights, the hope of His disciples was interred in Joseph's tomb.
‘But the faithful women, in keeping with their custom, came
carly to the grave on the Sabbath morning to demonstrate their
love and respect to One who had spoken as no other man spoke
and who had wrought as no other man wrought, )
‘imagine their utter gurprise and astonishment when informed
by the celestial defender of the sepulehre that Jesus of Nazareth,
whom they sought, was not there but was risen!
“If Christ be not risen from the dead, then is our preaching
vain and your faith is vain, and we are of all men most miserable,"
titundered the Apostie Paul in one of his celebrated epistes to the|
communicants of one of the early apostolic churches.
in this discourse, Paul was preaching on the immortality of the
soul and the reaurrection from the dead, on which hangs our hope
‘of eternal life and redemption from the Adami fall.
“He ix not here; He is risen!™
‘To further remove thelr doubts and misgivings, the heavenly
kuaraian a the Yom ineitedthene early waits to igpect the
Master's erstwhile resting place—“Come, see the place where the |
{Lord lay"—-and be convinced that He had,Jriumphed over the pow
cers of earth, hell and the grave,
"The whole scheme of human redemption hinges’ upon faith and
‘the dual personality of Jesus Christ, who, by offering Himself as’
a propitiation for man’s sin, beeame the second Adam and. re-
fahed connection. between the Creator and the creature,
Bi, was disrupted in the Garden of Faten ae
ty sungs of Victory and pacns of thanksgiving, all Christen-
dom celebrates Easter Sunday's the day of Hs mighty teiumph—
‘as the occasion when He arose from iiis deathly repose and march-
‘cd triumphantly and majestically from the sepulehre, reuniting
{sinful world with a sin-forgiving God and making the plan of|
Salvation sure and complete.
“To dispel their doubt and gloom, Christ later appeared to His
disciples and demonstrated the fact that His resurrection was not
myth and fairy tale, and that His saying, “The son of man has
Dower to ay down His life and He has power to take it up again,”
Mian no idle boast nor empty threat.
Easter is not a on ae nor ot eran a ae

fashions ; but it is one day that men, women and children should |
‘celebrate with fitting and appropriate religious services, adoring
extolling and praising the name of Him who came, lived” died and
‘trove to complete the plan of man's redemption, reclamation and
salvation.
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, and let your anthems and
songs prociaim to a dying world that Christ lives triumphant now!
“He isnot here: He is risen!”

THAT BOND ISSUE ON APRIL 26TH, 1924.
‘The Informer has previously cited our people's attention to the
big bond election to be held on Saturday, April 26, and has en~
deavored to show the colored voters why they should get some
definite and concrete assurances from the city fathers regarding
the employment of any part of this money for civic improve-
‘ments in colored residential sections.
‘The Informer stands firm in its original position that the col-
ored voters should not vote for these propositions without some
‘consideration being given to their sections by the ety official
‘When we say that we should not vote for them under such gon-
ditions, we certainly do not mean that we should not vote at all;
But that we should march to the polls en masse and register a
ative Vote gaint the eveal‘uwuen submitted on lei
Tf the bond issues are defeated, we know that we shall get ab-
solutely nothing out of them; and if they are victorious, we are
more than likely to, be in the same predicament
‘So why vote for increasing your taxes and getting nothing ia
return but a tax receipt?
‘The Informer is not opposed to civic progress and municipal
‘growth, but this paper is tired of such progress and growth at the
‘Expense of our group, while we get nothing in return for our sup-
port and taxation—not even promises
‘Our eolored population in Houston is so backwards, so indif-
ferent and unconcerned about things that are so vital and essen-
{ial to ita wellbeing, welfare and perpetuity, and whenever an
‘Opportunity is afforded the race to make its power felt, litle or
2ovinterest is manifested in the matter or proposition." «
‘We need a movement here, similar to one now being launched in
Galveston, to organize the colored voters and educate them in
‘civic matters; so that the race can get some civic considerations
