Football is life's most typical game and can only be played by sturdy, robust, alert, quick-thinking courageous and determined young men. In a hatch and gruelling struggle for supremacy on the gridron between two strong and powerful aggrigations, the team will generally emerge victorious that puts up the best offense and defense; that has the best team-play and co-ordination of forces; that has resplendent for its leadership selected by the members of the team and not one superimposed on the eleven by some opposing team; whose players are a unit in every play called by their quarterback or in breaking up the plays attempted by the Some times our players block the punt of their own backfield ticker gun or making a try for a field goal; and sometimes their stands too stand up to the pressure to get off any long range pumps. Many of our players take "cold feet" just as soon as our opponents snap the ball into play after receiving the kickoff, or the moment the opponents referee's whistle proclaims the game begin. We are on record where our players, with ball in their arms and a clear field, have pulled the ball over and placing it across or behind their own goal. We actually our coaches and trainers, anxious for victory and forgetting themselves for the moment, will rush, on the playing field and cause them to miss the ball. We will insert men in the lineup because of friendship, religious or fraternal ties, and other men on the sidelines better qualified to play the position than the team. We are not only the other men lack of knowledge of the game, downright ignorance or their wonted offenses. Oftimes our players on the sidelines will pull for our team to lose the game, and we will give a chance to enter the fray and given a chance to enter the team and the long team is torn amouther by internal bickering, wrangling, cliques and factions. But, again, so many of our coaches do not know the proper time in the game to yank or insert the team to coach and train the team without even having played the game themselves or even the rudimentary skills of the team.

Officials of the present city administration, including Mayor Miller advocated a bill to repeal the ordinance fixing the site, asserting that the institution should be adjoining City Hospital for white persons. Former Mayor Kiel and Plaice, formerly president of the board of the hospital, redeclared the repeal, and declared that at the time of the passage of the $87,000,000 bond issue, which provides $12,000,000 for the Negro hospital, the program and voted in the city election for it, because they understood they were to receive a separate hospital on a site of their choice, and to receive a pledge to be breaking a pledge. Homer G. Phillips, lawyer, one of the most successful hospitals, forcibly explained what new institution should be located or the site of Kennerly and Godove avenue. Cottage avenue. He said the action of the new institution would be to change the Miller avenue to change the site as provided under the bond issue and to "engage with humiliation." Former Health Commissioner C. H. Shepherd in sympathy with the purpose of the new hospital, asserted that the Negroes would have the advantage of the equipment and hospital for whites if the institution was to be opened.

The new and magnificent Pilgrims' Building, West Dallas at Bagby, is significant of many things of importance. It is significant of the foresight of the founders of the Ancient Order of Pilgrims and of the genius and hard work of its present leaders. It is significant of the art and good taste of those who planned it. It is significant of the strides and far-reaching effects of modern science and invention. But the most significant thing about that wonderful structure is that it stands and will stand, in all its beauty, grace and splendor, as a monument to the possibilities of co-operative effort.

ZITZWATER, D.D., Dean Dearmay Little Institute of Chicago) (2. 1927, Western Newsletter) LESSON TENT-I Samuel, Chap. 18. GOLDEN TENT-They love kindness is before mine eyes and I have walked in Thy truth. Samuel means "asked of God." Samuel answers in his mother's prayer. She promised to give him the care of the elderly. He promised his mother cared for and taught him. At an early age she handed him over to the care of EI to minister to the poor. While he was then engaged God called him. He responded to this cult and God and he gave him the God and his an judge and product. Our lesson today is his farewell address. He challenges to the People (v. 1.5). 1. Reminder of the way the king gives him. He gives that they were directly responsible for the change in government. Though keenly feeling the reflection upon himself, and their insecurities, he gave a king, he had not resisted their wish. 2. Review of his own administration (v. 2, 3). (1) Walk from childhood (v. 2). Samuel's was a remarkable life: from childhood to old age he had lived an uninterrupted life and judge and ruler (v. 3). He helply challenged them to show where and how he defended or opposed anyone. If吴山嫂's right as he laid down the reins of government to have his record vindicated and to have his record so that no evil-minded man could ever be able to cast reproach upon him. 1. Samuel Review God's Dealing From the Time of Moses (v. 6-15). 2. The good hand of the Lord upon them from the time of Moses. Though they with inattentive turned from the Lord and denounced a king like the other who request and set a king over them. 1. National prosperity conditioned by obedience (v. 14). 2. God resigned God in choosing a king, it they would fear the Lord and ruler obedience, national prosperity would still be given, so obedience would be the obedience to God is the only way to prosperity! Nations should find out God's will and then being God's law must be obeyed by the rulers as well as the subjects. 3. Disobedience to God meant the nation is to ask to God's blessing upon a nation while it is living in rebellion against it. True statesmanship is when the nation and so direct that in all its laws and customs there may be harmony with that will. 4. Samuel's Own Vindication (v. 16.10) This was such a critical hour in the history of the nation that Samuel was on the hearts of the nation and on their hearts. This he did by means of the thunder and rain out of season. Harvest time was not a time to be on the hearts of the nation when it came at the call of Samuel the people were affronted. They saw it as an example of God's mighty power to would destroy them in an instant. IV. Samuel's Gracious Response J. W. BOY, Lawyer - Civil Criminal and Divorce matters at the lowest prices.

M. E and A. M. E. Zion churches held in Avery Mission Temple, this city, Friday, June 24, a report of the joint commission on organic union of the A. M. E. and A. M. E. Zion churches was read by Dr. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the A. M. E. Church and secretary of the joint commission. At the conclusion of the reading of the section referring to the name of the merged church organization—the United Methodist Episcopal Church—a prolonged storm of applause was given by the more than 2,000 persons attending the meeting. The tentative plan for the episcopal districts was roundly applauded, as well as suggestion for allocation of officers for the first four years of the proposed organization. The report was called for combination of the 18 episcopal districts of the A. M. E. and the 12 districts of the A. M. E. Zion into a total of thirty episcopal districts for the United Methodist Episcopal Church. It also arranged for a publication board, calling for three publishing houses. These are to be located in Philadelphia, Pa., Charlotte, N. C., and Nashville, Tenn. The report provides for three weekly publications—the Christian Record, the Star of Zion, and another to be located in Nashville, Dallas, Tex., and to be known as the Southwestern Herald. Plan To Go To Local Churches It suggests the appointment of a special commission to thrash out the problems in connection with property rights. The plan calls for the first to be the board of bishops of each church connection for consideration, and then with their approval and revisions to the general conferences of the A. M. E. in Chicago and the A. M. E. in New York, allowing the action taken in these conferences the amended and approved plan is to then go to the various annotated reports of the two church organizations for approval or rejection. Should a management conference and congregations approve the plan, a special general conference is to work out the final details preparatory to the organization of the first regular United General Conference in Stupendous Commercial Transaction This movement is regarded by many as the biggest concerted organising effort in the United States. Fully one and a half million members will be involved. The transaction will affect over 10,000 individual church organizations representing a real estate value of nearly $100 million, and the laying of nearly $7,000,000 annually. The church is world-wide including the United States, Canada, Mexico, South America, Africa, and the islands of the Sea. The biggest biggest pieces of legal business ever executed by Negroes. The handling of the transactions will transfer deeds and property rights of the two organizations into the new one offer Negro lawyers throughout the world unprecedented Able Men on Commission The men composing the commission on organic church union are regarded for connections. They are: A. M. E. Church-Bishop J. Bishop John Husten, Rev. A. J. Wilson, Rev. R. S. Jenkina, Rev. H. K. Spear, Rev. R. H. Hueston and Dr. John R. Hawkins. For A. M. E. Zion Church-Bishop C.

Moton, executive keegue Institute, and A. L. Hoseley, secretary National, the business commission, and the advisory commission, represented Dr. Moton. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss plans for using the various insurance and fraternal organizations to address the flood conditions among the Negro refugees. These Negro business leaders pledged were opposed to segregation and Senator Reed re-elected this false logic. The fact is that the colored boys were more likely to be segregated and segregated into colored regiments where they fought and died but when they will be for all time an inspiration to them, and those who paid the supreme sacrifice in the segregation is raised.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1927 The committing of a crime on the retail basis does not warrant nor justify the committing of another crime on the wholesale basis by unauthorized, unappointed, undelegated, unsophisticated uncivilized and un-Christianized mobsters and lynchocrats.

Moral cowardice on the part of those in authority is responsible for this spread of terror, rioting and mobbing. Mobbists know in advance that no punishment will be met out to them for their deprudence. The custom has licensed them to destroy the city unnecessarily. Newspaper dispatches from all sections of the country indicate that the American Negro is facing one of the most stubborn and formidable fights in the history of the race in America, and, unless the black man unites his forces and presents a solid front against the infernal and insidious attack of this hideous, hydra-headed monster, Racial Prejudice, he will be denied and robbed of every vestige of his political, civic and economic rights and war-ranges within the next decade or two.

Can America point the finger of scorn and ridicule at other nations for their acts of brutality committed upon avowed adversaries during time of war, while she, herself, openly permits, condones and sanctions far more brutal, cruel, heartless and inhuman atrocities to be permitted within her own borders upon her own citizens, to harass and stalk students? What will such procedure be, or should it be, 'brut' America? The segregation menace is bobbing up with painful regularity in different sections of the country, and a determined effort seems afoot to even prescribe the metes and habitations of the black race in this repudiated "land of the free and home of the brave." Well 'n's met heaps an heaps or quantities from de oel Lost Slaan long, fine an mos' uv en is so much fine an mos' uv en is so much w even zitierin down Slof innoym. Racial self-consciousness and solidarity are efficient, but not sufficient. What America needs is national consciousness of the humanitarian species—a consciousness that will become sufficiently aroused and alert to totally eradicate these distasteful and disgraceful domestic disorders and disregard for the majesty of the law and the sovereignty of a republican form of government. To further their program of restricted residential districts, these fees to orderly government and traducers of democracy, are resorting to violence and terrorism in their maddened and frzenzied manners. The colored man who dares to invade their "hilly-white" domain. To mock this or that state because of such outbreaks will not solve the problem. Remedial action is imperative with big men. While these proponents of segregation are raising huge sums of money to vigorously prosecute their cause, and are employing bomb-breathers, vandals and anarchists in the execution of their crimes, they are also using the courts to supinely by and trust solely and wholly in the "good white folks and the Lort;" or holding mass-meetings and passing empty and meaningless resolutions, deploring this and denouncing that, but all breaking for the door when the suggestion is made that a fund should be used to counsel and fight the matter out through the courts of the land. The Informer and every sober-minded and sensible member of the race deprecate all vicious and criminal attacks upon women, regardless of race or cline; but there can be danger. When these crimes are committed, give the courts a chance to function and that swiftly and speedily. Men who are swayed by prejudice, passion and anger prove that they are victimized by injustice, juries and executioners. Their very demeanor and department disqualify them to give the accused a fair and impartial trial, and said actions revert our boasted Christian civilization back to the brute stage, while Misses Justice and Democracy are forced to hang their heads in shame. Our chief stock in trade, even until this good day, seems to be loquacity, and that at the "big gate"; for very few will talk loud at the proper time and back up their talk with coin of the room and concerted action for the best interests of all concerned. Our slogan must be: MAKE AMERICA SAFE FOR AMERICA CAN BE. What will it profit a nation to insurance, safety, freedom and peoples of other countries and then permit itself to be destroyed because of its own insecurity, violence and mob violence? THEY ARE WE DRIFFING! The black man has a peculiarly odd sense of reasoning, always figuring that what is happening to some other member of his racial group will never become his lot; and that Mr. So and So, his friends, will never be the only individual black man) is an exceptional Negro and that no warm will ever befall him—not as long as he "stays in his place." Whenever a colored editor or speaker begins to advise Negroes to unite and stick together for their own best interests and well, the advice is more or less misinterpreted and misunderstood. He is claiming that the Negroes are being advised to "rise up against the Negroes and that men are guilty of circulating such stuff among the white people.

Despite the fact that the delegates and visitors to the present grand conference of the pilgrims have been offended, they are now accustomed to "Heavenly Houston," the city of the municipality turned over to them. The Informer feels that it would be delict in them to it fail to also extend a most sincere response. The Informer—in suggesting that the Negroes of America, and particularly the South, must organize their forces and meet the challenge hurled at them and theirs by the arch-encymion of Americanism and democracy, Race Prejudice, does not mean to convey the idea that Negroes should resort to violence and civil inaction, that they desired ends, but that they should pool their resources, subordinate themselves to interests, envises and jealousies, and all work together, orderly and peacefully, for justice, equality and a fair and square deal. Houston has been truly styled as the "Manchester of America," and its residents are well known for the many visitors are visited by vessels of all maritime nations, loading and discharging cargoes of freight; whose industries hum with an activism of description and whose dinner pal never wants for the necessities of life. All forms of injustices and inequalities are manifest in this country, with the black man as their main object and chief victims, among which are lynching, disfranchisement, segregation, "jim-crowism," prosecution and a double standard of citizenship. Houston is, primarily, a home-owning city, particularly as it relates to the colored contingent, for our people own or are purchasing more homes in this city than in any other municipality. Houston is also a city with a diverse population and even more in than in quite a number of cities larger than Houston. If the black man ever becomes an entity in the life of this country, he must be treated and regarded as other races in our heterogeneous population. The prerogatives warranted and guaranteed him under the constitution of the country, it must awake from his Rip Van Winkle snooker of the past.

Houston is also a religious city, where the gospel mission of Nazareth is expounded in season and out of season by the ambassadors and the bulwarks of satan attacked and his satanic kingdom's defenses, with heavy losses by the almighty host of the church militant. We have operated too much along the individualistic line, often employing the tactics of the击刺 (burying our heads in the sand and not beholding the attacking elements or forces, as if such procedure removed the danger or altered the situation), and on the other hand we have not gotten ourselves on one hand, while on the other hand we have not gotten ourselves and maintaining our inanable and secret rights and privileges. Houston's growth during the last decade has had few parallels for such a period of time in the history of American cities, and "it doth not yet appear what it shall be"; but we confidently know that we are long assume the undisputed leadership of all Southern universities to occupy that lofty place in the life of this section and the nation of which its founders dreamed in the early days of its existence.

Houston has the largest colored population of any city in Texas, and surpassed by only a few other cities in all Dixieland; while its damsels, damselflies and indies fair occupy a unique place in the realms of the men its are chivalrous, hospitable, and "hale fellows well met." The Negro, both of the North and South, must sooner or later come into a realization of the fact that his interests are mutual, and that neither the life nor property of any member of the race nor the long as we are victims of colorophobia and its various ramifications. Houston is also synonymous with hospitality and that kind of hospitality which has brought imperishable fame and undying glory.

The second emancipation of the race must be effected by the race, for while Lincoln's emancipation proclamation took us out of slavery, it did not emancipate the black people. While we could recount and recite numerous reasons why Houston is such a great and growing city, suffice it to say that you are welcome here as a refreshing stream to a thirsty desert traveler or as an osculatory smack to an old maid. To put over this or any other program the race must develop and select its own leadership, and cease submitting meekly and docilely to a superimposed leadership, which, so often, will sell the race's birthright for a mass of porridge.
