MALONE MENTALLY UNBALANCED NEGRO IS SAVED FROM MOB HOME EDITION VOL. VIII MALC NEG THE MIRROR By C. F. RICHARDSON LACK OF PUBLIC MANNERS. That our people need to be educated and trained so that they can understand the principles of the law, and to make the productions, and know when to laugh and when not to laugh. It would be necessary for the following to be a follow-up afternoon performance of "Milestones," the pageant of Negro progress, whose performance is the most important of the man-Franklin had to penuke some of the colored auditors for laughing. In the case of the man-Franklin he was to see the little scenes enacted in connection with human slavery in America. Public school teacher and professor of a wonderful contrato voloe, was matched by the same name. The school was much more masterly in the fourth episode, as she so touchingly and pathetically introduced to the other class of the motherless Child—one of the most tender and touching moments in the school. In the second month of the last month, the scene of the audience, from certain sections of the auditorium, was the most masterly and traveler slave master or overseer wielded his whip ungenerally upon the black cotton paddies of the other sacks and singling paddies with their sacks and singing songs of the Southern cotton fields. In the second month of the last month, the scene of the audience was the stable, audible laughter penetrated the tenseness of the scene. After, after Mrs. Franklin, who was called from back-stage in order to receive a beautiful bouquet from the school, he was called to the Audience, seprimanded and chided the audience for its breech and forgetting. In the second month of the last month, the audience�manned from children (several thousand of them being present) and were in the state of the state. Becoming an Intelligent and sensible audience. The case, children will laugh at anything or scene, anywhere, any time, that tickles their fancy — that is a very small thing. Theையers are not only the educational training of their children, but public manners and other rudiments that People judge us largely by our public department and manners, and when either on the stage or cinema sheet; or either on the street or on the street corners on our public streets and in public carriers; when we deliberately get up and walk; when we deliberately get up and service or rendition of a program, we add weight to the argument that the public department know how to deport and deport himself intelligently and with becoming public decorum. Every time a public program is held at the City Auditorium, which attracts a large number of people, one is forced to reprimand some of the public for violation of the rules of common sense and proper public decorum. This breech rests upon the shoulders of every black man, and we are forced to learn to act in public, we are going to suffer much public discourse, humiliation and CONGRATULATIONS GALORE. The announcement in last week's newsletter the Informer included the Webster Printing Company, owned and operated by the company, the printer and successful business man), and the Houston Informer (the South's greatest weekly newspaper, owned and operated by the company), the op-ed column had consolidated their individual businesses under the firm name of Webster-Richardson Publishing Company, Inc. with a modern printing plant in about I. L. a. building, 400-411 Smith Street —has elicited much favorable comments from friends and supporters of both enterprises. The Informer was consummated without the least bit of parlaying and the editor of the Informer considers the deal is master stroke; for Mr. Webster master printer, proficient, efficient and painstaking, and his work does not amount to the amount of the type of job printing that is usually produced in colored print shop.

A crowd rivaling that number which John the Beloved saw on the Isle of Patmos, in his apocalyptic vision, packed and jammed its way into the spacious City Auditorium Monday afternoon (as shown in picture above) to witness the premiere showing of "Milestones," the pageant depicting the progress and history of the Negro race, written and directed by Mrs. Ada Crogman, Franklin, recreational expert and dramatic instructor of Kansas City, Mo. With nine episodes the pageant traced the history of the Negro race from the day when the black race held sway in Egypt down to the present time, when black men and women are playing an important part in the life and history of America. The opening scene, laid in any Egyptian court, was the most colorful, colossal, gorgeous, beautiful and captivating spectacle ever witnessed in Houston, and literally swept the huge audience off its feet. As queen, amid royal pomp and dazzling splendor, Mrs. Bertha Fedford showed the charm and grace so characteristic of the black rulers of ancient days. Her rendition of Burlesque dances, the most beautiful, while having no historical connection with the scene or setting, was very brilliantly done, and evoked liberal applause.

An enawah reichan, W. L. Davis made an ideal prophet. stage makeup to look the part of the character he was playing. He had been taken his curious pipe, which he so regularly spotted in his mouth, his role would have been to be a villain. Slave Market Scene Tense. So tense and touching was the sale of slaves in the fourth episode, when families were heartlessly separated (mothers being sold from their offspring and children being snatched from their parents), that the directress was asked by some of the white sponsors of the pageant to omit such scenes in Tuesday's performance, which was done. It seems rather strange how the truth hurts, and stings, for this cruel and heartless act was a fixed institution during slavery in America. When, in the role of huxom maiden, Mrs. Mattie Lewis was snatched from the auction block and sold to a plantation owner (represented by Dr. L. M. Mitchell), she literally "stopped the show" with her wonderful rendition of Burleigh's "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child." Fifth Episode Aso Gensored. The act of the plantation overseer, with E. O. Smith serving in salar role, was carried out in the fifth episode, Monday, particularly when he applied the force of the gun to pickers in the fifth episode, Monday, J. P.

Such brittle weapons were used by racial forebears often receding how these bloody wounds, caused by the gun, salt, and the slaves compelled to work in such physical and mental condition that they were unable to pick.

There is a verb militate, to paint with vermilion, from the Latin miniature (minlam, native cinnabar, red lead). The true sense of miniature is something painted in minimum, red lead. Such paintings were usually small, hence the later meaning. The name was first applied to the ornamental ed initial capitals in manuscripts.

Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (2. 1977. Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for April 24 PETER AT THE TRANSFIGURA TION LISBON TEXT-II Peter 1:16-18; Mark 3:2-19. GOLDEN TEXT--And a voice came out of the clouds saying, This is my beloved Son, hear ye Him. PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Shows Peter His Glory JUNIOR TOPIC—The Beauty and Glory of Christ. Glory of Christ THE PATRIOT AND NEMORAL TOP- IC- What Peter Wash and Heard in the YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP- IC- The Majesty and Glory of Christ. 1. The Meaning of the Transgression (II Peter 11:18,18) He inspired interpretation by one who was present and knew all that transpired. The hope of the disciples was crushed. When Jesus was to take place on the cross, they were unable to see how victory could come from death. Jesus took with him the tomb of Jesus, and went into the mountain by themselves. Before going into the mountain He declared that some were still unaware of the taste of death ill they had seen the kingdom of God came with power. Two men from the upper world were sent to the mountain for His approaching death at Jerusalem—the very thing about which the disciples refused to talk. Then, too, Jesus came to the mountain for approval of Christ's course, directing them to the Master. 11. Jesus Christ glorified on the He took the disciples "by themselves" and was "transfigured before them." This shows that the purpose of the transfiguration terminated upon the disciples and not on Christ. Christ's rebuke of Peter for his unwillingness to hear concerning His death apparently for a time estranged the disciples from Him. His appearance on the mountain typifies His visible appearance on the Mount of Olives (Zech. 14.4, 9). 111. Peter, James, and John Represent Israel in the Flesh in Connection. What the Kingdom (1.2). Christ is peculiarly the King of Israel. According to Ezekiel 37:21-27, the Israelites are to be the central people in the kingdom. This people shall be gathered from among the nations and united as one in that kingdom, in their own country. IV. Moses and Elijah Appeared in Glory With Jesus (ev. 4-18). These men in the glorified state are typical of the saints in glory. Moses who was once denied an entrance into Palestine appears now in glory representing the redeemed of the Lord who shall pass through death into the kingdom. Elijah represents the redeemed who shall pass into the kingdom through translation. Some shall be living upon the earth when the Lord shall be kind and they without dying shall be changed and thus pass into the kingdom (1 Cor. 15:50-53; I Thess. 4:14-15). 1. Peter's proposal (v. 5, 6). 2. the king unforested before Peter that he proposed to erect tabernacles for Christ, Moses and Elijah. It is true that the unveiling of the magnetic present in the kingdom was play of the kingdom somewhat disconcerted Peter, yet he grapted its content. 2. The divine voice adorned the advent of the kingdom which had been prefigured in a tangible way. 2. The divine voice out of the cloud (v. 1). 3. God declared Jesus to be His Beloved Son in whom He was well pleased to be. He pleaded to God, let him study Jesus Christ who perfectly did His Father's will. 3. Jesus' charge (v. 9, 13). 4. He charged them that they should tell no man concerning the things Jesus did until He had risen from the dead. V. A Demonstration of the Purpose of the Establishment of the Kingdom When they descended from the mountain of transgression they witnessed a great multitude in a state of despair. The state was the grievous condition of a young man possessed with a demon (v. 18). This young man's state is representative of the nations who have been oppressed. This young man was grievously oppressed, causing him to cast himself into the fire and into the waters, so the nations today in their great persecution will result in their own destruction. Speaks for Christ Nothing speaks so loudly for Christ as bad lives made good, ugly dispositions made beautiful, anger and wry and bitterness made sweet—Echo. Real Glory Real glory springs from the silent conquest of ourselves — Southern Methodist. God Sees God sees the real mobility in and behind all sincerity—Ibizia.

It is probable that maps were made before writing of any sort was known. In the British museum there is a map made in clay over 4,000 years old. It is said of Prodromy, who lived in the Second century that he drew better maps than a map once until Columbus discovered America. **Small Animal, Big Brain** Too small to be seen by the unmade eye, a tiny animal discovered in ocean water has a nerve center or brain and can build a new house for itself in less than two minutes.

WM. M. RUYANY Kentucky University, Moble Hube Institute, Chennai TEXT. The cloak that I left at Trees with Carpus, when those crows, bring the parchments, especially the parchments. II-11. 4:13 Some would say. "Bring the parch- ments and the books, but especially the books." Bring the ers. "Bring the cloak and the parchments, but especially the books." Paul and "Especially the the parchments." Life, the man is made or married by the emphasis. Paul's first weeks by revealing of the cloak" Others "Bring the book" to parcels, parcels, but especially "b books" Paul and Jane "Palm and parchment" "parcels" Life, like music, made or married by the emphasis of life were vividly reveling of his character. The Rev. Wm. Runyan, b/character. The sailor had won to the part; the hunter was home from the hill; the runner had all but finished his course. To analyze Paul's evaluation of life in its last hour is to find confirmation of his Christian philosophy. From his prison cell, whence he shortly went to martyrdom and his eternal crown, came no well of the cycle, no jarring note of the seconner. Nevertheless, human needs were recognized, intellectual hunger was avowed, and spiritual yearnings, as well as victory confessed. Christian companionship was dear to Paul, hence his appeal that Timothy hasten to him, and that he "Bring the cloak"—winter was coming and physical care was called for; "Bring the books"—companionship for the mind was needed in his lonely hours; "Bring the parchments"—spiritual encouragement from the Scriptures, making for a sustained faith, was the most necessary. It is evident that Paul honored his physical being. He was like the steed whose course was finished and upon whose back a blanket was considerably easy, but have finished my course—"bring the cloak." "What is man that Thou art mindful of him?" is answered with high honor or in the Book. Should man's view of himself be disregarding or honoring? Valued as are the animals that go to market, man is worth but little. He is compounded of the constituents of a hundred dozen eggs, iron for four ten-penny nails, fat for seventy-five candles and a good-sized piece of soup, phosphorus for a thousand matches, enough hydrogen to fill a balloon, a few gallons of water, some six teaspoonfuls of salt, and a little sugar. On the other hand, though man is infinitely smaller than the stars, God has signally honored him above the host of heaven; for the sun systems never thought; the Pleiades never dreamed; the song that the morning stars sang together was a song of silent harmony they did not know they were singing. Man thinks, will, imagines, knows. Man wonders, aspires, yearns and lifts up a hungering and thirsting heart to God. The thought of the Father threaded all the paths of light to seek out man and through His son, to restore in him the divine image that has been so marred. If man values himself as his God values him he will send for the clank. Bodily care, honoring the physical life, will by the grace of God defeat the satan intent to fasten upon the body many lifts through evil habits, excesses and abuses. "I bring the books," Paul could not brook the waste of even those closing hours of a great day. Much more, then, should young people bring the books, resort to the choicest sources of information and inspiration. Said Channing, "God be thanked for books! They are the voices of the distant and the dead!" Books drive away the moonshine and usher us into the sunshine of intelligence. Like hidden gold mines, they hold boundless store for us, but the digging is ours to do. But culture, however rich and varied, is not sufficient. Paul craved with a holy thirst, what the books could not yield, hence: “Especially the parchments!” It is clearly evident in what stead the Scriptures stood with Paul. Forget the clonk is necessary, the books if so it must be, but fall not to bring the parchments. Somewhat similar was William Tyndale's request from his Villorde prison cell, the winter before his martyrdom; something with which to patch his leggings, a warmer cap, a woolen shirt, but above all his Hebrew Bible, grammar and dictionary. Above all, especially, the Bible, the message from heavens, the Word of God, the message from death, the family from distortion, the nation from desolation. The Bible will be at the foundation of the next spiritual awakening, as it has been for every revival of former centuries. Especially, in youth, health and education, when rises increase and the cresus of life beer down upon us, bring the Bible. Especially, when age cresus are present, where we may read, "I will fear no evil for Theon art with me;" bring the Bible. Especially, let us understand that life our king, is coming in power and that great glory; bring the Bible. "Bring the book and the books, but especially the parchments."

ANY MAN WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO SHEID HIS BLOOD FOR HIS CITYHOUND IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE GIVEN A SQUARE DEAL AFTERWARDS. NO MAN IS ENTITLED TO MORE AND NO MAN SHOULD RECEIVE LESS. - ROBOEVELT. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, APRIL 23, 1927 RACIAL HISTORY WONDERFULLY NARRATED. in the presentation of "Milestones," the colorful and colossal stage production depicting the history of the Negro race from the time when the black race wielded the sceptre of power in Egypt to the present day, the author, Mrs. Ada Cragman-Franklin of Kansas City, Mo., tells a most graphic, wonderful and complete story of the part the black race has played in the world's civilization. The pageant is both informational and inspirational, giving the auditors a wealth of facts and information concerning the Negro race which have hitherto been unknown to the masses of both races. The black man has been taught that he sprang from inferior racial stock; that he played no part in the ancient civilization of the world; that a cause was pronounced upon the race through its progenitor, Ham, and that as a result of Noah's drunken denunciation of his son, the black race was and is destined to forever serve in the role of "hewers of wood and drawers of water," that he has been called a "murderer," the doctrine and propaganda that his black hue is a mark of inferiority that he has, in a large measure, accepted this status without protest; and he has become obsessed with an "inferiority complex" that has played have in racial uplift, progress, betterment and identity, and he does not believe nor consider many in his race capable and able to accomplish any outstanding or noteworthy achievements. In other words, too many of our people are in total ignorance of the race, and the part the black man has played and is still playing in the onward march of civilization. In order to vividly portray the part the black race has played in the civilization of the eastern and western hemispheres, Mrs. Franklin conceived this historical pageant, and thus the history of the black race has been documented. She hold the auditors from the moment the herald proclaims the opening episode until the final note dies out from the massed chorus singing Johnson's "National Negro Anthem." Nothing like it has ever been presented in Houston before, and though we, as a race, are given to superlatives in describing events, and as a race, we are given to employ the object that properly describe this gorgeous, stupendous, colossal, beautiful pageant of Negro progress. Too much praise can not be accorded Mrs. Franklin, formerly dramatic instructor with the Playground and Recreation Association of America, who as author and directress trained more than 20,000 students, and who had its premiere Monday afternoon at the City Auditorium before an audience of more than 6,000 persons. In this connection Mrs. Franklin had some excellent local material and talent, and these performers and participants gave a singing and thrilling demonstration of their wonderful historic ability. If any black man, woman or child, could sit through this wonderful pageant and not feel proud of his or her race, despite the scenes depicting American slavery and its by-products, then that person is void of the finer attributes that go to make a red-blooded man. This is fundamentally and constitutionally wrong with such person or persons. Houston owes Mrs. Franklin a debt of profound gratitude for this wonderful portrayal and delineation of the Negro's history, and The Informer hopes that the local presentation of this pageant will serve as an inspiration to our racial group, and that it will give us a better understanding and more favorable opinion of the ebony-hued sons of Ham. LOCAL CHORAL CLUB AND BENEFIT PROGRAMS In keeping with its established policy of lending a helping hand to worthy institutions and laudable causes among both races in Houston and South Texas, the Coleridge-Taylor Choral Club, the South's premier musical organization, has kindly come to give a musical festival at Antioch Baptist Church, Rev. E. K. Moore, April 25, 2015, at 8:30 o'clock, as a benefit effort for Houston College. This local institution of learning, of which Dr. J. E. Knox is president, is putting forth herculean efforts to raise funds with which to complete a modern building now under course of construction on the college campus, located on West Dallas and Buffalo Drive, the latter being one of the city's most popular driveways. Situated as it is—right in the midst of progress, development and expansion—either Houston College must keep pace with its environments, or the board of trustees will be forced ultimately to sell the property. Though owned by one religious denomination, this school serves the entire community, state and social order; for denominational purposes, the school is a place for dedicated and partisan agencies, catering to and serving only the com- The Houston Informer South's Greatest Weekly Newspaper The M (Continued) Munncians and adherents of the particular church owning and operating the school, but they are now serving training and developing students without regard to denominational affiliations or re-high school life. After all is said and done, friends, people are not interested in what church you belong to, or what lodge you hold membership in, or who your parents were or are, but in your own ability to do the job better than someone else, and the person who can deliver the goods, whether in church or state, is the person that will usually forge to the fore and become an asset to his group and the social family. After a new school was a new school to the school in Baptist, Methodist, Congregational, or any other denominational schools; for the institutions of learning are merely the means to the end, and that end is SERVICE for and to one's fellowmen of every race, creed and color. The most important means of the Regro race, as it related to unity, co-operation and team-play, was seriously impeded and shamefully retarded by a division of our forces due to church and denominational lines; and it was considered denominational here. For members of the school, the line of relations of interest was with members of another religious faith. The line of demarcation and division was formerly drawn for the merger, as the school of the school of communities that even in the public schools the school authorities had to maintain a school for Baptist children, were the Baptist teachers, and another for Methodist schools. If a Baptist headed a movement for the good of the race and community, it mattered not how moritious it was, it failed to elicit the support of the Methodists, and vice versa; but we are not so much interested in the national lines than ever before in our racial history in this country, for we have long since seen the folly of our way and have adopted a new policy in this particular. Our people are not so much interested in a man's church connection or denominational affiliation as in his character and ability to out over or lead in putting over the racial program that now engrosses the attention of all serious-minded members of the race. This is indeed a happy sign and augurs well for the future of our race, both here and elsewhere; for any religious belief that divides rather unites its communities, devotees and supporters who believe in the hasil of real education over a sin-cursed world. Therefore, the appeal of Houston College is not made to one particular denomination, but to all denominations and all persons who believe in Christian education—an education that trains and develops the heart, head, and hand. This is the only type of education that is not a real education. Too often we confuse education with book learning—that type of intellectual training and development that leads a young man (generically speaking) away from his race and the field of humanitarian service; that unifies him for any earthly benefit to his community. Colored institutions of learning, unless supported and backed by white agencies and philanthropists, find it quite difficult to secure funds on which to operate, to say nothing of making enlargement and expansion of their physical properties; due, largely to the fact that we have too many schools and "cois" and the added burden of the proper conception of our holdout to our race along this line. As a race we are liberal spenders, especially when it comes to something that will give or afford us some temporary or ephemeral benefit or enjoyment; but we are slow on making contributions to causes and agencies that are potent factors in the development and success of the arts. The musical festival, which the Coleridge-Taylor Choral Club will render at Antioch Monday night, will represent a contribution by this local musical organization to a laudable cause, but the success of the effort and the size of the benefit fund will depend solely and wholly upon the citizens of Houston. The Informer urges the people of Houston to support this musical cause by the singers and their songs per capita, but because of the cause they are essaying to help, "for the profits most who serves best." THE SHAME OF THE LONE STAR STATE! According to the public health board of this state, there are only about forty beds for colored victims of tuberculosis in Texas and these are not provided by the state government, but rather by the local governments. The local governments tolerable and, often, inhuman conditions, it is no small wounds that such a large percentage of the colored people fall victims to this dreaded malady; yet that the state makes no provision to aid and assist these people in their fight against the "white plague," is a crying shame and disgrace to the human race! Not only should the state authorities see to it that sanatoria are provided for colored victims of tuberculosis, but every effort is made in safeguarding the health of those people in their every day life. From an economic viewpoint this should be done, if not from a humanitarian one; for with large numbers of colored people serving in domestic roles for white families and coming in daily contact with them, the white race can not hope to escolve the folly of this neglect and shortsightedness. Disease is not a race, nor races, and it will invade the home of the rich and leave death, desolation and despair with the same reckless abandon that it does in the hovel of the humble and lowly. Epidemics seldom come in cyclonic manner, hitting a few here and then jumping over to another community; but they generally strike every home in their wake and neither the racial identity nor station in life. There is not least time in politics in this state and more in looking after the interests of the people, in every walk of life, such alarming and appalling conditions would not obtain. Just as too many cooks spoil the broth, too many politicians in office, quarrelling and contending for the spoils thereof, cause much sorrow and trawl to numberless people of the commonwealth. The state owes a certain duty to every citizen and it should see to it that every inhabitant is assured and vouchaised life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; and the governmental machinery should ever be employed to the end that its citizens might enjoy the benefits of the state is able to adequately and consistently provide the same. The state should acquire a site at some tubercular resort and construct a sanatorium for its colored citizens who fall before the doors of the city. The state should not it not only owe the colored race, but the entire social family. Houston is one of the few communities in the state that has made some provisions along this line, and what this community has done is a small way, most assuredly the state can do on a much larger scale. The Mirror---- Okla. where the were highly successful in the practice of civil law, renamed the phase incident to the consolidation, and will be associated with the newively merger will in no manner affect the editorial policy of The Informer. In addition, we will use our to produce a better and bigger paper, and instead of being the Sought a greatest weekly newspaper, "Laura's greatest, weekly newspaper," Isaac's greatest, weekly newspaper,"bend our efforts and devote our energies, asking that our ruders and staff put over our enlargement program, to assure all the friends, who we must commend and congratulate of commendation and congratulation of the wish that our new firm shall be highly successful, that we proactively and we shall endeavor to render the most manitarian service which has become synonymous with the name of The ANOTHER HOUSTON GIRL WON BEAUTY PRIZE AT BISHOP Houston's feminine pulchritude is again victorious at Bishop College, Marshall, Texas, another local girl winning the first prize in the college beauty contest conducted to determine whose beautiful likeness should adorn the Bishop "Bear," college annual, as the "most beautiful girl on the campus." Miss Ella C. Robey, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Z. R. Robey, 2009 Hamilton, was chosen by vote of the Bishop College students as the campus' best specimen of feminine pulchritude. Miss Robey, a graduate of the Houston Colored High School in 1925, is a sophomore at Bishop, where she is very popular among students and teachers. Last year this coveted prize was won by Miss Lillian Jones, niece of Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Williams, 1412 Cleveland, Miss Jones is also a graduate of the Houston Colored High School. Thus it seems that "Heavenly Houston's human angels have a monopoly on all beauty prizes at Bishop College, one of the most outstanding institutions of learning for the higher education of Negro youths in the South.
