According to newspaper reports, the Mississippi River is on the worst rampage in the United States, and the录入者indicating the rich valley lowlands along that majestic stream, with the resultant loss of many lives and destruction of crops, live stock and physical and mental health. A national appeal for help has been floated over the country and people from all walks of life, without regard to creed, class or color, and the need to be treated. Calvin and�, in order to do so, calves in-dige and other national, state and local leaders to dispatch succor and relief to this large number of flood sufferers. Since so many of our people reside in the lowlands around most of the Southern rivers, and, since they have been hit so hard by the unold and unlucky people, the people of this misssippi River during the present flood and high water, this appeal for help comes directly home to our race. Of course, when humanity is suffering men should lose sight of the color of the sufferers, and color line should be wiped out and forgotten. The people of this world who have for tto give some degree of relief and assistance to those in want and need; and with this view in mind the College of the American University, the premier musical organization, has conceived the idea of staging a benefit program at the City Auditorium, Sunday afternoon, May 1, 1930 o'clock. In the United States, the public in connection with this Sunday afternoon concert--free doors will prevail for members of both races; with the dress of the people, the public will be offered for our people; and the parquet section reserved for whites. During the intermission a free-will offering will be taken. The public will be offered to all the head of the Houston relief committee, and the promoters are anxious that a large audience greet this musical effort and contribute to the success of the program. A thing that is the head of the Houston relief committee, and the promoters are anxious that a large audience greet this musical effort and contribute to the success of the program. In assuming the lead and initiative in this kind of an effort the Coleridge-Taylor Choral Club is merely living in the public's hands. The selfish musical organization—always ready and willing to lend a helping hand and render assistance wherever possible for the public's humanity and the people of the social humanity. We are asking all the colored pastors in the city, to urge their members at the City Auditgirl Sunday after the service, to be conscious of the constituents the necessity of being on campus, and to promote it prominently at 3:20 p.m. In the connection every colored pastor should also be present, to say nothing of the constituents from their pullets at the Sunday morning service. This is the first effort of its kind ever undertaken by the colored cedars all of our forces and pull together, the men we will demonstrate to other races that the black men is not unwilling to be used in the manly, regardless of color, color or SMITH SILENCES CRITICS In his ringing and stinging reply and rejoinder to those who criticise and excoriate him for his membership in the Catholic Church, Governor Alfred Smith of New York, most formidable candidate for the democratic presidential nomination, has silenced his "bitter-enders" who have endeavored to read him out of his party for his religious beliefs and church affiliations. Not only have the governor's political focus endeavored to read him out of his democratic party, but they have sought to create the impression that as a member of the Catholic church (with vatican headquarters in Rome, Italy), Governor Smith's religious allegiance to the pope and Catholic church would be so powerful as to disqualify him for the presidency of the United States of America. In a democratic social order such as ours says and professes to be, neither a man's religious beliefs nor racial connections are supposed to disqualify him in the occupancy of any office within the gift of the electoral of his own and of the people; and if indeed refreshing and reassuring to see Governor Smith render such a solar plexus blow to religious intolerance and class bigotry which have been so rampant in this country during the last few years. This columnist is not necessarily a supporter of "Al" Smith, nor does this paper agree with him in all his views; but we can not subscribe to the idea, doctrine or propaganda that a man's religion renders him unfit for the presidency or any other elective or appointive office in this country—the land of the free and home of the THE HOUSTON INFORMER Houston Singers In Flood Benefit At City Auditorium Sunday, May1 COLERIDGE-TAYLOR CHORAL CLUB South's Premier Musical Organization South's Greatest Weekly Newspaper HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, APRIL 30, 1927 this effort Sunday afternoon, which will begin promptly at 3:30 o'clock.

At least the unusual scene being enacted in the courtroom of this southern Missouri city warranted such a demonstration on the part of her representatives for Sarah Duncan, an aged colored servant, was awarded $24,000 by a jury in the circuit court from the estate of H. Clay Duncan of Osborn, Mo. For forty-seven years, Sarah Duncan, now 65 years old, had labored as a maid of all work in the proud family of Col. H. Clay Duncan, one of the aristocratic families of this section. She claimed that a verbal agreement had been made to pay her a certain salary which with the interest due her for years and was available to her for payment. Under the statutes of 1865 interest could not be compounded on money due under a verbal contract, so her petition was amending cutting the sum asked for to $24,000, her salary plus simple interest, and the all-white jury was awarded a $80,000 award.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULTS IO- The Danger of Sudden Tempations. 1. Peter's Downfall (Mark 14:29-71). This began when he refused to hear the word "suffer" and with a foul oath, declared: "I know not the man." When the disciples talked about the cross, they not only ceased to grow in knowledge, but they began to deteriorate in moral discernment and to become the shameful denial of their Lord. Steps in Peter's backsliding: 1. Overwearing self-confidence (vv. 23-1). His unwillingness to face the cross alienated him from Jesus and when he would all forsake Jesus, Peter declared that Jesus was certainly misinformed. If he refused, yet will not L. Our condition is most perplex when we are most sure of our safety. 1. Sleeping at the post of duty (v. 37). In one short hour the very one who was sleeping at the post of duty had fallen asleep instead of watching. The only way to escape from backsliding is to watch. (vv. 38). The legitimate inference from the Lord's words "watch and pray" is that he had commanded them to pray there is so little prayer is due to the lack of the sense of need of God's help. **Migliored seal** (v. 47). Peter drew a sword and cut off an inward door of the high priest (18:10) to rest Jesus. He was thus silenced for the Lord. He was trying to make up in outward service his conscious lack **Followed Jesus off** (v. 54). Christ's rebuke for taking the sword of Jesus was a set of bad habits his set had placed him, caused him to follow off. off. He keenly felt Jesus off got him into trouble. **Warmed himself at the enemy's fire** this fire was built by those who had some unsympathetically to witness the crecitation and even to mock in the face of Jesus' promise, even attempting to get pleasures out of the things which the enemies is sinful. Many protesting and promising, even attempting to get pleasures out of the things which the enemies is sinful. Christ have prepared for them. 1. Open denial (v. 65-71) Step by step downward the wrist until the thumb is propped open and blasphemous denial. This even by one who had said: "If should die with thee I will not die with thee." The wrist is gamed when he shrank from the cross. It was that shunning which separated him from the world. He was remembered that there can be no backsliding until there be established a position from which to slip. Many of the children of the Knights have never been born again. 11. The Respentance of Peter (Luke 12:1) 1. The look of Jesus (v. 61). This was a most wondrous look. It was filled with the joy of Christ. Christ walked through his Peter and the other disciples would pass and he prayed for them. This was a wondrous act of acuteness of his cowardice and disloyalty with his blasphemous words of denial, and yet it displayed His power. The look of Jesus brought conviction of sin. It called to mind his beautifultness and cowardice. How arel must have been his condition as a child, and how arel must have been, little suspecting that there would be found a way to get back into communion with his Lord. Doubtless the tomb brought from the tomb brought the first good cheer to his heart. Christ said to them: "Go and tell my disciples and Peter. This encouraged him, no doubt, in his consideration and love for him. Two Things Needed There are two things that they need to possess who go on pligaring; courage and an unspotted life—John Bunyan.

TAYLOR JOYCE Director of Professional Work, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago. TEXT- His divine power hath granted unto all things that pertain unto life and godfulness—I Peter 1. 18. The Christian life, according to this text, is completely provided for. Every way we are pated. No emergencies can over- whelm one who counts his life unto the Lord. No personally conducted tour with life, uplifted titles, we can be so perfect and saint as this life upon us, we have started. Rev. W. T. Joyon. There are several encouraging facts or insecurities that I want to present to you that should enable us to live, not only in that it is insecure, but that it is increasingly joyful and blessed. 1- True Christians have the prescience of the Gospel in their lives. He who lives with us. He who lives with the Trinity. Third Person of the Trinity. The Holy Ghost animates, energizes and inspires us. He moves our feet in paths and directions which are different, diametrically different to those where He used to walk. He moves the way of sin. Now he takes us in the wollies, the Holy Ghost in our hearts. The Holy Ghost in if you will let him. I wish you could read H. W. Smith's book entitled, "The Christian's Secret of a Happy 2. The second incentive is the position of the saints of God in Christ. "Now of God are ye in Him who hath righteousness, sanctification and redemption." He has given us this new standing. We are new creatures in Christ. "He is the Lord of our righteousness, John Wesley once said, 'Never think of yourself apart from Christ.' As He is in glory today in perfect harmony with God, of hand, of God, and I have that same perfect alignment and that identical standing as our Lord Jesus Christ. Now dissociates our walk with God, brings every conscious act up to your standing in Christ. You have a place in God. You now have been given with God that makes you altogether different from what you were before. This being put into God, a new position of righteousness, an incentive to the hikers walk for Him. —The next incentive is the “proprietary” work of Christ. It means satisfaction rendered by Christ for you. “If any man sin,” said John, “we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous: And He is the propriation for our sin; and not for ours only, but for the sins of the whole world.” This reveals that Christ is our satisfaction, rendered for our sins, and that work is still going on. A friend of mine went to the police station some time ago to find out what the advocate or lawyer for the prisoner did. He said that the most difficult thing the lawyer had to do was to keep the prisoner talking when he should talk and quiet when he should be quiet. When the opposing counsel said, “Will you please answer this question,” this man jumped to his feet and said: “Your honor, I object,” to which the judge said. “Your objection is sustained,” or “overruled.” The lawyer had difficulty in keeping the prisoner quiet at the right time. My friend said, “The lesson I learned was this: When Satan comes to accuse me, I say to him, ‘Here is the card of my lawyer. will not talk to you, sir, go and speak to Him.’” He will not go to my advocate. Our God has given us an advocate at the right hand of God. 4—The promised power over sin. You dare not speak lightly about your sins. Do not call them your mistakes. They are sin. God says there is victory in Christ Jesus for every one who trusts in His name. He has not only made it possible for us to be free from the guilt of sin, but has also promised to give to all who trust His Son, victory over the power of sin. He not only told us that some holy day there will be a time when we will be reheved from the presence of sin, but that there is victory over the power of sin. There is no reason, according to the Word of God, why we should be defeated on every hand. He has told us that there is no temptation which has befallen us but such as is common to mankind, and God, who is faithful, will not permit us to be tempted above that which we are able, but will with every temptation present a way of escape. (I Cor. 10:13; Jude 24). 5—The last one I mention is the promise of the return of our Lord. I Thess. 4:13-18. This does not mean death. It does not refer to the spread of Christianity. It was what early Christians were exhorted to expect. It was noticed that they not only turned to God from idols, to serve the true and living God. But to wait for His Son from heaven. (1 Thess. 1:9-10). One should read Blackstone's "Jesus Is Coming." This inspiring, satisfying truth running through the Bible is called "that blessed hope," and it builds up our character as nothing else can.

That which landed among the stones, the thorns and in the barren places, perished. Only the seeds which reached the good ground had a chance to grow. The modern advertiser does not strew his seed of salesmanship to the winds. He plants it carefully in the "good ground"—in the places where because of favorable conditions it has a chance to bear a harvest of consumer results. He uses newspaper advertising because through the newspapers he covers completely the themes which he knows, upon careful investigation, to be right places for his product to flourish. --- 423 SA4 FELIPE ST.

Not Guilty "Don't you think Badger is inclined to daily with the truth?" "I don't think he ever touches it." By RUBY DOUGLAS (Copyright.) **44 NO. TEB, there is no one talking to it:** about *me* "aid Carla, definitely," about *me* "aid Carla, definitely," about *me* "aid Carla, definitely," insisted Ted Morton. "It would be perfectly ridiculous for us to marry. I like to swim and sail, you go cruise golf, hotels, following trails through virgin forest, camping. Now, wouldn't we be a fine married couple? Couldn't we have a happy, congenital baby?" "We're happy now," argued Ted. "Tee-while you are so crazy about that you will live in a bathing suit and you will swim in the ocean." But, once we were married-well, you'd play golf while I went sailing alone--maybe! To argue the old question and went around the same circle again and again. Finally, he returned the engagement ring he had given her and he put it reluctantly on. Both were too young to let a mere broken engagement mar their happiness and, consequently, Carol never married. They followed their final quarrel, Ted, too, found great sport in golf tours during weekends and in the camping expedition with three men up into the Carol couldn't stifle her love for the carol. She had been brought up on the island, where she learned to swim in sea shells. Her early friends were old fishermen who used to pick her up and tuck her in the stern of their boat, and string of shining sea food. She had learned to swim and reef and feel perfect at home in a boat. So that now, she was able to swim and string a half of the year her beloved water, it was little wonder that she took to it and the proverbal duck. She was always when town when both were impatient to be out of it. Having, for the moment, a common bond of sympathy, they had missed something they had both found when he went to the country club and back and forth to the city to business and she sought the seaside. At first, both sacrificed the hours of sport when times Carol would walk over the links to watch the players. Again, Ted would sit on the swim or swim in the water, and girl who had promised to marry him. But neither was happy. Neither was home. But just borne me to extinction, "I must be sorry to herself as she walked miles on the Railways in love of Ted and his fellow players." "What anyone can see in sitting in a boat that taps and lifts and listens would grumble, inwardly, as he felt the uncomfortable movement of a sailboat in which Carol was gracefully diving. After four years, Carol began to wonder why it was that she failed to find again the companionship that she once had. She would come men into her world as well. This had proved not to be the case. She began, one evening as they met together in the dusk, what did you do for fun when you were a young girl? She laughed. You would be surprised if you laughed. I knew nothing so much as roughing it in a mountain shack or going with a crowd of girls into camp, gyrates we we. We would go into the woods in a mountain town and I was verably a part of the soil." "Ant- you can live to the sea?" she asked. The mother nodded. "Tes-sour your father felt that he could not live alone. He had to be folk in New England and at first he toasted to leave my beloved wife. I found him, he was to be with me when most important to world and then when you came-I was quite satisfied with life, dear. You talked about the water, not you'r' Carol did not say much after that. You talked about the hardness of loneliness underneath the supernatural gossy of the past four years. It took a great deal of courage to deal with it." She wrote Ted a long letter which she began with her old pet name, "Dear Landubber." In it, she told him of her experience with life at school, of how she had told him of how she had tried to be content without him. It was a letter she could not and would not have written. The teacher told her, "Ded did not want to write. He arrived inside of three days to tell her as she strolled along. The moonlit bench that no matter what she did or did not want, she felt her happiness and there alone. Carol laughed and told him that half of her was landubber, anyway, and half was her mother, her mother gave her an intimate bit of the history of her own romance.

Special to The Informer. Beaumont, Texas—Prof. T. T. Pollard, president Colored Teacher State Association, has given out the following statement and report "I am sure the rank and file of the teachers of Texas has been awaiting a word from us. But up to this hour, we have had nothing of an encouraging nature to hand out. Every wide-awake teacher in this state know that there is much work to be done to refine schools out of the quagmires of prejudice and discrimination. Everyone knows that one schooling with a large measure are objects of deion, and places where the high ideals of citizenship can barely be instilled in the occupants thereof; that the equipment therein is negligible; that in most cases, the salary paid for service invites only those who are least prepared to put over the job; that the school term is too short, and that the students have too few higher institutions of learning support by the state. "The evils above recounted can, in a large measure, be corrected through the medium of the State Teachers' Association; to but do so, the association must have funds to meet the necessary expenses entitled thereby. Since our time has been the financial standing of the association. Let me state just here that, in the solving of this problem, Prof. Jas. D. Ryan of Houston has rendered signal service. His report attached hereto will better explain our financial situation:" Houston, Texas 1928 F. 19 Prof. T. T. Pollard, President, Prof. Wm. Coleman, President of Executive Committee, Prof. Wm.

I d colored teachers w able to turn over to to lift us out of out "The executive s I am squarely bebi 65. A careful inspection has been made of the receipt books used by the various registrars and we find 28 stubs which are blank and they all contain the number of stub receipts which specify no amounts, but they have all the numbers of registration numbers. There was perfect correspondence between the amounts indicated by the secretary as to what should be charged to each book and what the audit committee should be charged to. The cause of the custom of issuing duplicate receipts to the members of the number of registrations, 949, in apparently far below the average for previous years, but this may be due to the confusion arising over sub- 66. THE SECRETARY-TREASURER'S REPORT: The item of $251.50 mentioned by the secretary as received for 1926 in her report to the association, has been omitted in the audit tender (A) because the secretary states that the item is included in the $40 registrations, and the deposits in the pass book on the State National Bank of Houston, Texas, from November 23, 1926, to November 24, 1926, reflect $244.25; further, this appears to be borne out by the dates appearing on the registration stubs. The item of $240.00, under A2, has been included because it appears that a note was drawn for that amount on the permanent fund, July 14, 1926, and the proceeds applied to the Masonic Grand Lodge's funding bill for the Bulletin, $625.55, leaving a balance due the printing company, $385.55. Item 9, under A, has been included because it appeared in the report of the secretary as adopted by the association, $143.00. The secretary states that the money was in the Palestine Bank along with her personal funds and some church funds of which she was custodian. 67. DISBURSEMENTS. SECTION C. PAGE 4; Item 22, under Section C, is in excess of the amount of $146.75 appearing on the sheet carrying bills ordered to pay to the amount of $29.50, which appears in Item 23, under Section C, is in excess of the amount of $300.95 and this amount was applied by the printing bill of $835.55 already referred to. Item 48, under Section C, appears because the registration was made in the $1,000 registration class and comes in the $1,000 registration class. Item 50, is allowed because a check for $5.50 given on the First National Bank was no honored, because of insufficient funds, and the check for $5.50 given on the drawer of the chock and one other person, and to say the least, it appears that $1.75 of this amount should be collectable, and the name of the 68. THE NET ASSETS OF THE ASSOCIATION: Item 59, appearing under D. is absolutely correct if all of the records of the association have been placed before me for consideration and Item 60 of Item 59, appearing under D. is also the necessary reason for the cash boost fix; the information which has been determined in the following manner: 1. State the amount issued by the National Bank of Houston reflects the balance of $394.06 on December 21, 1926, and the necessary states that there are no outstanding checks. Consequently, she has issued a check of $294.06 on December 21, 1926. In addition to the check of $294.06 on December 21, 1926, the total of the records of the association have issued to her successor another check for $45.92 on the State National Bank of Houston, which money, she said, was in some other account. In fact, I am not correct to what she did state in reference to the $45.92. 69. THE BANK ACCOUNT The bank pass book on the Farmers and Citizens Savings Bank of Palestine reflects a balance of $375.71, available funds, and the pass book on the Bank of Houston, which money, she said, was in some other account. In the report of the secretary to the association in 1926, the Pass book on the State National Bank of Houston reflects the following results: November 3, 1926. $ - $9.25 November 13, 1926. $10.00 November 13, 1926. $1.76 November 24, 1926. $9.25 November 29, 1926. $1.082.24 November 30, 1926. $9.71 December 13, 1926. $2.12 December 18, 1926. $2.12 Deducting a check not honored and reposted. $ - $1.25 Net balance of deposits: $2,020.17 Adding cash paid out, Section C, Page 4. $1.35 Total Income as reflected by the Cash Account. $3,038.52 Total Income as reflected by the records. $1,933.25 Excess of cash and deposits over the records. $105.27 Total as above The excess paid in by the secretary is $107.15, and the excess of income over that reflected by the record is $106.27, making a discrepancy of $1.98. It will be observed that the $105.27 and the $107.15 are pretty close together, and to judge from the dates of the deposits, we agree with the secretary that the $107.15 is clearly the money of the association, but there is nothing in the records submitted to your auditor to enable him to determine the source from which it came. The secretary-treasurer has been very patient and accommodating in making this adjustment, and she should be commended for the settlement she has made in the face of the records. Continuing, President Pollard says: "The executive committee by the following vote has asserted that Austin will be the next place of meeting. In this connection, for the information of the teachers, I wish to state that after a conference with the principals of Houston, Prof. J. W. Rice, executive secretary of Dallas, and Prof. G. W. Jackson of Rosenberg, Houston invited the association to meet in Houston. The president took the position that Houston was the logical place for the teachers to assemble in their next annual meeting. But the vote of the executive committee was 6 to 3 for Austin, Texas. 69: THE BANK ACCOUNT Voting for Austin were: Coleman, Johnson, Holland, Waller, Rhodes and H尔德; for Houston, Pollard, Ryan and Walla. "My personal desires shall not stand in the way of the will of the majority. I do believe that, to have met in Houston, 3000 colored teachers would have enrolled, and we would have been able to turn over to the succeeding administration sufficient funds to lift us out of our present financial dilemma. "The executive secretary is launching a membership drive that I am squared behind. Let every teacher see to it that every other teacher becomes a member of the association. Since we must go to Austin, let us see to it that we have the best meeting in the history of the association. We have released as soon as we can secure sufficient funds to pay for the costs of publication. We need funds also to meet our obligations with the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools. At Dallas the association voted the N. A. T. C. $100, and at Waco $100 more was voted for the same cause. We owe both obligations, and there are not funds enough to meet our obligations. We owe the motto of this administration is, 'Stewardship is not ownership.' ```markdown ``` "SP" Special Train TO BEAUMONT "SP" Special Train TO BEAUMONT 11:45 (Noon) Sunday, May 1, for Big "Double-Header" between "Buffs" and "Exporters."

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, APRIL 30, 1927 LOCAL "POLICY WHEELS" AND RACIAL POVERTY. Just why the authorities permit the "policy wheels" to operate with such full force in Houston, despite the fact that this form of chance and gambling is outlawed by state statute, is beyond the editorial comprehension of The Informer. However, this paper has been informed that these "policy wheels" are the prolific source of much poverty among the colored citizens of Houston, who apparently, are obsessed with a "playing policy" craze; it being alleged that many of our people will gamble off their last penny in a maddened effort to win at "policy." Landlords are complaining that colored tenants are getting bidden in their rents due to their devotion, esteem and constancy to "policy"; while several race business men state that many of their customers have gotten behind with their accounts or have about discontinued patronizing their places of business due to "playing policy." One race business man states that there are fully 32 "policy writers," who receive 20% commissions on all their "writings"; and that the average amount collected every work day by each "writer" is $20, or $640 per day for the 32 "writers." This represents around $3,840 (conservatively estimated, according to our informant) per week that the poor, deceived Negroes of Houston, receive $16,640 for every 26 working days in the month. It seems peculiarly strange and odd queer that peace officers can always locate some crap shooters and bootleggers, but can never apprehend or arrest any of these "policy" writers, operators or players; when hundreds, if not thousands, of black Houstonians are going to "catch the numbers" both at the downtown and "plant." Why, some of our colored pastors claim that church collections have shown a tremendous decrease since colored Houston has become "policy-striken"; adding that some of their erstwhile reliable and dependable parishioners are as poor as the proverbial Job's man in his neighborhood came to him and tried to negotiate a loan of enough money to stay financial in her insurance company; adding that her policy had almost lapsed due to her "policy playing" and inability to win any money on this outlawed gambling device. Insurance underwriters of color aver that they are experiencing a tremendous increase in insurance premiums from any number of our people in this city, likely insurance blame on the fickleness of the "police" machine which they are now playing. An occasional winning or "killing" (winnig big money) by some well-known colored Houstonian, who proceeds to immediately broadcast his good luck and fortune to his friends and in turn their friends, has a wonderful tendency towards encouraging more of our people to "try their hand" at this popular gambling game. Since the strong must bear the infirmities of the weak and the intelligent must safeguard the interests of the ignorant, the strong arm of the law should be exercised and employed in closing the policy" game in Houston; for aside from the fact that it is being used to abject poverty and want numerous members of our race in this community who are trying to get rich "playing policy." Here is a good job for the grand jury of Harris County, as well as the district attorney's office, and politics (which covers a multitude of sins and unlawful acts) should play no part in permitting this gambling game to operate virtually "wide open" in "Heavenly The Houston Informer South's Greatest Weekly Newspaper A. B. (By A. D. SHEFFIELD) Newman Dudley was born in Pocahontas, Kentucky, Christian county, on the ridge of age seventy-four years on the thirteenth of April, 1927, at the ripe age of seventy-four years. On account of the conditions of servitude, he was separated from his parental family to Texas as a slave, where he was placed under the usual conditions of confinement and forced to form a wonderful opportunity, to mediate on divine interposition. When he was raised in his early days in the mountainous regions of Kentucky, coming to Texas, he was born and reared in the Gulf Coast country of Texas, he God has his plan in the lives of men. After he had grown to manhood, he was married with each other and married soon afterwards. Of this union sprang a noble only the inherited characteristics of their parents, but acquired also much of his own character. As a father he spent his energy in that his offspring might have life without education himself, he was earnest and persuasive, and thus succeeded in vanities of good school training. This is well seen in his children and their These children are: Mrs. E. J. Lethridge, teaching in the Victoria city schools; Mr. Newman Dudley, Jr., vice president of the American Mutual Insurance Company and prominently connected with the Star of Columbia. Mary was born in the city of Florida, at Victoria, Texas; Mr. E. J. Dudley, practicing medicine at Chicago, IL; Messrs. Joseph and Fred Dudley, each conducting large and profitable tailoring establishments in Los Angeles, California; Mrs. Adeila Jones, instructor in domestic science and art, was born in the South American Country, but now on a leave of absences in Detroit, Michigan, and last, but not least, I mention his resourceful widow, who for many years has stood faithfully by his side and with great patience ministered to him in his long last illness. Turning aside from these, however, I will give myself the virtual of him whose lifeless body life is so far as to be a community uplift in which may be read the glorious truth that the Lord was his strength, his guide, and his highest comfort. Among the best people of his city, the great character he named one of the most outstanding honesty and fidelity in every task. His prominence and leadership in all good things were manifested in his community from about the year 1875 to 1927. Indeed, he was an outstanding character, until, on account of illness and continued weakness and condition, and active service as citizen, and two years later succumbed to paralysis. He was a man of great ability, of the finest worth and noble character and he played a leading part in all the varied events of his time. His upbranded life was the most of the name being connected with every advanced movement in his community both in church and civic affairs. He was a man of great vision and so often consulted as a counsellor and advisor. His associates realized that he was a man of great action, a constructive in his ideas and a patriot, a citizen of the highest type. Because of his extraordinary virtues, some educational theorists might think of him as a freak of nature, on the same time the extravagance of the transmitted to his children; but the practical educator sees that no freak in nature could transmit to his descendants such fine virtues and worthy ambitions. In his children, by reason of his tremendous influence over them, he was a part of the "promise" of a "cultured race." His efforts along educational lines are best told by their results. All of his children are either graduates or pupils of advanced, standing in some reputable school. Early in life he performed his education in the high school of the agency in living the highest level. He invested his money in cultivating brains and not in boarding silver and gold. Many interesting events are lovingly told by his children and the previous rise of thought and determining effort to see that he had splendid educational advantages. He had a great concern for the progress and prosperity of his church and NEW MOUNT PILGRIM Rev. W. H. Rhodes, Pastor Sunday School was well attended, and our teachers — Sister Othellia McKenna, J. E.

To this end more than half of his thought time and money, he was conversed baptized and Joined Palestine Baptist Church on the second Sunday in May, when he was a deacon of his beloved church in which capacity he served with united effort. He said that he could no longer keep his place in the church he loved so well, to advance the interests of his church, to show off but not in the spirit of "showing off but not in the spirit of meekness." The consensus of opinion meekness is that a figure of his church which he fostered with all his great ability, not only in the "heritage" but in the "heritage" but in the leadership of his pastor, whose leadership He was a Christian gentleman of high ideals and unshaded desire to serve God. He was the unmuffled waves of the sea, the unruffled waves of the ministry of his home which he called a place for the visiting Christian miniature of his church he braved the rains and the heat as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. He was a heavenly dwelling place. His soul was filled with joy and sorrow. As I looked upon his peaceful face and read his expression of trust truely in God, I was filled with joy and sorrow. He was visited by his brother and sisters were visiting him upon his end, the thought of Lord Almighty was present. "Sunset and evening light." And one clear call for me.

COLORED VOLUNTEERS FOR BLOOD TRANSFUSION ARE SOUGHT IN HOUSTON The Informer has received an appeal from Miss Snoddy, nurse at Jefferson Davis (county-city) Hospital, asking for colored volunteers who will donate some of their blood for Jim West, colored inmate of said eleomosynary institution, who must undergo a blood transfusion in order to save his life. Modern medicine and surgical science have saved the lives of many people by this scientific method of transferring blood from a hale and hearty person to one who is ill and weak, and the donor of the blood suffers no ill effects by submitting to the transfusion. In other words, the person who donates the blood stands no danger of losing his life. If there is some colored person in Houston who is willing to give some of his blood in order to save the life of a member of his race, he is asked to get in touch immediately with Miss Snoddy, Jefferson Davis Hospital, Elder and Girard streets, First Ward, telephone Preston 5141.

Riddle, Odd Fellows endowment secretary, in oral contest. W. L. won with talk, but J. H. was a very very good choice of the crowd of variants being rounded up on City Market square by police officers. Similar wholesale arrests in connection with "policy wheels" would be a long step in the right direction. We crave action in this respect, peace of course. Dr. R. F.
