CONFERENCE ACTION
As we stand upon the threshold of a new year, with its many opportunities for larger service; and as we take a retrospective view and bear in mind the fine support accorded us during the past year and years, it is not mere idle words when we take this occasion to extend to our many readers, advertisers and well-wishers our most profound gratitude for their best efforts.
We have strived nearly to produce a meritorious and distinctive paper during the expiring year and we shall redouble our efforts during 1930 to present to our large family of readers a vastly improved publication.
Aside from giving
many thanks to this time's helping also to solve our economic problem by giving constant employment to ten members of the race in our printing plant, to say nothing of the many agents handling the paper here and elsewhere.
It is with a spirit of gratitude that we have made the best of our best costings of the season and wish for all of you a prosperous and happy New Year!
Without making much fuss about it, the Nu Phi chapter of the Omega Phi Fraternity, of which Judge J. Alston Atkins is basileum, has sent its delegate to the eighteenth annual conclave in session at Baltimore, Maryland, this week, with instructions and credentials to bring the 1930 session of fraternity to "Heavenly Houston."
The Omega has never held an annual parley in the Southwest or South, the main objection being the employment of "jim-erow" railroad accommodations in making the trip for the year. In the North and East, in the South.
As for Allogood, who showed himself a poor sport and was a member of a committee because of the color of one member, he will do nothing. As for the distribution is immutable, inorganic and unchanging.
Because a city that Alabama must be represented in the congress of the United States by such prepaid demagogues as Allogood and Effin.

NEGRO PRELATE GOES TO TRIAL FOR JOB SALES
Chicago, Ill., Dec. 25—(By The Associated Negro Press). Interest is rampant in the investigation of the grand jury in alleged selling of civil service jobs and graft which opened here Friday, involving several members of the civil service board, including Bishop Archibald J. Carey of the African Methodist Episcopal Church.
Bishop Carey was indicted several weeks ago when a white man testified that he had paid the bishop or his representatives sums of money for jobs which were never delivered, and it is alleged that promotions were contingent upon the amount of money paid for the recommendations that the most recent developments involve the calling of Alderman Louis B. Anderson and Robert R. Jackson of the Second and Third Wards and Alderman B. A. Croson, the Jewish alderman of the Fourth Ward, which is predominantly colored, as witnesses. According to the testimony of several policemen, these aldermen have been instrumental in having them reinitiated in the past, which they have not lost for various reasons.
Aldermen Jackson and Anderson have stated that they would be willing to testify before the grand jury or any other body as they have nothing whatever to fear. Alderman Croson, who is a nephew of Corporation Counsel Samuel Ettelson, is also willing to face the music and has declared that he has done nothing to defeat the purpose of the civil service commission.
Bishop Carey, when indicted, stated that he was innocent of any graft charges and said the whole affair was a frame-up. The individual who brought in the charges that he had paid money for various civil service jobs to the bishop is said to be a confidence man par excellence and has a record in this sort of endeavor. The bishop declared at the first hearing and in a statement to the press, that he had only seen his accuser once and that was when he, the bishop, had him brought in for questioning.
Friends and supporters of the churchman and politician have come to his rescue and join hands with him in interpreting the indictment and the charges as a frame-up and an effort on the part of political enemies to discredit the civil service commission as a whole, as appointed by Mayor William Hale Thompson.
The case is expected to be a long drawn out affair, extending through several weeks. The investigators have gone over the list of promotions and appointees to all civil service jobs and declare that their findings indicate that many have secured advancements and appointments which are

LAWYER STATES
BRUSEAUX TRIED
TO EXTORT FUNDS
Chicago, Ill.—(By The Associated Negro Press).—Christmas greetings from C. Francis Stradford, former president of the National Bar Association, to Sheridan A. Bruseaux, principal of the Bruseaux National Detective Agency, came in the form of a charge that Bruseaux had tried to engineer an extortion plot in which the lawyer and Dr. Benjamin Bluitt, prominent Chicago physician and surgeon, were to have been the victims.
Stradford's charge against Bruseaux came after the appearance of a story in a local paper siring the details of an inquest into an alleged illegal operation of a hospital and the greater died by Dr. Bluitt and the fee charged by Mr. Stradford for representing the physician.
Dr. Bluitt was discharged by the coroner's jury, but it was intimated in the story published that the fee of $3,000 which he had paid Attorney Stradford was exorbitant and that it must have been obtained because Dr. Bluitt was afraid of the consequences of the situation in which he found himself. The name of Bruseaux was not mentioned in the story, but Stradford in his reply to the article places the entire blame upon the detective.
Although the information was not contained in the statement of Mr. Stradford, it is claimed that Dr. Bluitt found difficulty in assembling the $3,000 fee and was forced, when unable to collect rent from Mr. Bruseaux who lives in his building, to wire William "Goosenock" McDonald, a local hospital, to which he was granted by Mr. Stradford. Mr. McDonald is said to have sent the money without any delay.

ILLINOIS SOLON
FAVORS NEGRO AS
HAITIAN . PROBER
Washington, D. C.—(By the Associated Negro Press).—In his maiden speech before congress, Congressman Oscar DePriest of Illinois urged the house of representatives to approve the request of President Hoover for power to appoint a special commission to investigate conditions in Haiti and that a Negro be appointed on the commission.
The congressman from Illinois was urged to restrict the appointment of the commission, but was eloquent in his opinion that Negro should be placed on the commission. Congressman Oscar DePriest of the Haitian republic was populated and ruled by members of the darker races that were more confident in the commission, if a Negro were a member of the group. If Negro were appointed on the commission, pressed the desire to see the government take such an interest in the problem of Haitian refugees in the Americas as that manifested in the plight of Haitians. Millions of Haitians are in the poorest part of the United States, are yet denied their rights as citizens and it is the duty of the legislative bodies should be equally as interested in their well-being. Congressman Oscar DePriest of the House of representatives approved the commission and many of the Democratic representatives were commended by Congressman DePriest, which was commended by Congressman DePriest, because I appreciate the condition of the house converted to the right of the black Americans who are living in Haiti in almost every state south of the Mason-Dixon line. I congratulate the black Americans on Haiti and conceding the common people the right to self-determination in America, and that we will all enjoy the same rights and privileges."

(Continued From Last Week
"Some day I am going there to have my try," the girl said with flashing eyes.
"Of course you are, my dear," Mrs Prescott assured her: "you can't bury a voice like yours here forever, you know."
North pressed her arm and smiled. "That's what I've been telling her," he said, "but she wouldn't believe me."
The studio was a large, airy second, victory room, and a number of portraits were already hung, while many more were stacked against the walls. The group scattered, examining the paintings and exclaiming over them. Lesson was left standing alone before two portraits, a man and a woman in middle life. Then she recognized them as the Broadens. She wondered why she had been so slow in knowing them. The likenesses were good, she could see that the features were those of her host and hostess of a few nights ago. What was the difference? She turned and examined other portraits that hung near, puzzling out the problem as she looked from one to another. Then in a swift revealing moment she had the answer. In spite of the fact that the drawing was well done, and the features characteristically Negro, they gave an effect not being Negroes at all, but white portraits painted in darker shades—sedan subtly social-element lack—which was so much so this star is not only commenced to associate with other impressions in her "The Broadens" drawing room, York
One music the cheered on heard in the night that night.
North came and stood beside her, looking eagerly to see a face for her. Her face was tried to find words for her incoachie impressions.
I can see you know a heap about my life. I am very like Mr. and Mrs. Broaden, only they can't look just like colored people and they are so very old. I am so very old as they were dashed in spirit. "That's a matter of artistic technique," he explained.
I was very old. I was a matter of the art of "I know what you mean about this," he has been used by great artists, then, and is only very good. I am very so much like my subjects. After all, if the pictures look like them, that's about all that you were in the world.
The girl noticed a defensive tone in his voice and hastened to reassure him to be so very old. He was veryوحور. I know what you mean about this, he is very smart to catch them so well.
I was very so much like my subjects. I can see the subject of New York.
I wish you'll tell me some more things about the colored people up North," he begged.
"Certainly, my dear. And Frank only the most. I am so very old a lot even in the three years since he has been here." She stepped bevel her arm through their. "Come and see it down," she said. "Frank can leave me." She returned to the room and put her pen in her hand for him. That's the good of being a painter.
The man you told me about the life, while people go to hear them sing?
Lissa asked.
"I am a woman laughed," "Do they? Why, my dear child, if a New-er-most is here on the same day, I'm a new-er-most."
"I am a woman's story," he as a more top-liners now, and lots of capa-
"I suppose it would take an awful lot of money to go on and study?" Lissa queried.
"Yes, that's the big trouble in where in the south. It takes so much time to get back, a starting point," said there is so little to do it with.
Lissa hesitated on the edge of a vital question, then framed it, with her wide, warm gaze on the woman's sympathetic face:
"I'm not a money to you, but it would take"
Mrs. Prescott considered a moment.
"Oh, I suppose it would take at least a couple of years to do it properly—even to get a good start, and living is high up there, somewhere between three thousand dollars," Imagine.
Lissa received the information in blank silence. The older woman saw the disappointment in her face and patted her hand sympathetically. "But don't you worry about that. Something is sure to turn up sooner or later?"
They were joined by several others, and the talk turned on North's paintings. Presently the party commenced to break up and leave, and Lissa's acquaintance asked if she would like to return to home, as they were driving downtown and would pass near the Atkinsons.
In the privacy of the comfortable sedan the girl seemed wrapped around with an atmosphere of security and luxury. Looking out upon the familiarity of a room such as a vantage point anything seemed possible, even a New York carver, even two thousand dollars.
THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1929
It's no use, Grandma," she said, and there was a new hard tone in her words. "It's not going to be a good thing, I'm going something like hell that has been waiting to get. There's no use breaking our hearts over it. You better forget it, and not let it first go."
"But all does new friend's yo' got—in' they yo' kind? What's de matter—did de m?"
I don't know, "Lissa said wearily. They seem to spend all their time saying how glad they are to be Negroes and all the time they're trying to do it." "You're just a little white," "Hush yo' mout," child, "Mamba chided." "Ain't yo' knows swearin' ain't fu ladies sure I want to be a lady after all," Lissa exclaimed. She got to her feet and strode to the open window, then turned and faced. Mamba again had his balance on the other side of the Southern noon, her fists were clenched at her aides and shaking slightly from their muscular tension.
Oh, I'm a good one, I think I'll want," she flung out in reckless voice, "but if I don't find out soon and get it I'm going crazy."
Lissa had never been on intimate terms with Gardinia Whitmore. This was strange, because their music had shown them together with the old man, and the voice was more perfectly suited to each other's they were always in demand for duets at recitals and concerts. The explanation of the project was the same. Lissa's instinctive good taste. She was not herself aware that she possessed such a characteristic. But she realized that while she was so old, she was so undecisive, it is the popular soprano, she experienced an involuntary withdrawal into herself at the other's frankly addicted to the other's life. And did not hold the same position in society that she did, for while Gardinia was accepted everywhere on account of her voice was obvious that she did not follow.
Seen in the Bradens' drawing room Gardina immediately made one move. She was magnificently proportioned, with a black silhouette of body and head, with a white armored banked fence of desire amouldered and glowed. She seemed at times to move among the furniture with a desperate grip. She would be seized by a gale so reckless that it seemed almost violently. She would be seized by her sardonic and sultry gaze. But over her lay, a transparent gaze, but not in the least disguise her essential self, gave her hostess something unpleasant. When they introduced her to their friend, But when Gardina sane, everything was forgotten, and people exchanged a smile.
It would have been difficult to find a more interesting contrast than that of the two women and the four of their appearances in a duet. They were of the same height, but Lissan was taller and more refined refinement of form and feature. Her powers in reserve, and there was behind her art an indefinite suggestion of higher number lippers. Gardinia, on the other hand, was an emotional woman, and she had the derig discipline of the Monday Night Musical Club, she captured her mother's most physical. In spite of Lissan's outburst to Mama she found herself on the pavement before the Reformed Church, and she had the morning service stream past her. The week had increased rather than decreased in her presence. In spite of Mama's entreaties, she had no confidence in her. In the next week she gave a grandmother that she wanted to go into words. There was no gun to put into words. There was no old woman had been putting some words on her.

They walked in silence for a while, then gardina turned and looked with frank curiosity into Lisa's face.
"Do you know she said anything?" she took just like a human heim—got hands and feet in everything, but you don't want to bus out with the blues all the time, say what you do, nightly, anymatter."
The challenged, Lisa gave the matter thought. "Oh, I don't know," she answered. "Morse there's the girl." Her mother went out "Good Gawd!" her communion exploded. "You don't call life, do you?" "Well most nights, when I am not singing, I sit just round with Grandma." "You little hula-raises!" "Gardina wicked, Arent you trapp the crap you get!" "Frank North, that's it!" "Frank North, if you keep that you and highbrow and regard her communion coldly," she challeged. "You've a great way of throwing off on my friends. Frank the one you want to talk about you.

You think you get it! life with a red line, and night turned in Gardina shocked Lisa's sensibilities, as she always did when she let her girl go, but the girl was concerned. Also she was acutely aware of the physical attraction of the girl at her bedside, and then she was adored to something hidden deep within her.

JOHN H. BROWN
HON, OSCAR DePRIEST
(Biography of Oscar DePriest United States congressman, first Nebraska governor, and a successful realtor.) The early struggle upward from humble beginnings to fifty heights or success, is portrayed in a most striking way in the life of Oscar DePriest. Born in 1871 during the reign of President Warren G. Moore, his training was meager. However as an early age he began to exhibit a leadership skill. This is indicated by a value of thirty, a value of life in his job while the youthful resident of a farmhouse a week for pasturing cows. At the end of 12 weeks he had saved $1500. He was the man of the foreman of a gage, collected the账册 of his own property, and worked his ingenuity not to work for a profit. As he reached maturity he worked for some few years about the limitations of the Kansas town he travelled for some few years about Chicago. This was more than thirty years ago. Here he extended his work and acquired a contractor in this field. As a result he was so profitable he gradually became his surplus funds. When the Negro business increased he commenced the business of leasing property and sub-leasing it to his business. He did his own decorating. In this way he became established as a realtor and a successful realtor. He gave up his work as a decorator and his activities entirely to the real estate firm.
In this business he has made an outstanding success and he is today one of the most respected and associated officers in Chicago. His political PRist found his best service in Chicago, and associated himself in that field with Major John C. Hancock, who has come up through all the graduations of political life, beginning with eliminating stair and pulling doorbell, and his associates. He was successively appointed to the various minor conventions, leader in his ward organization, county commissioner in Chicago, delegate to several Renolis commerces commissioner, ward commiteeman, and as a crown achievement in the county in 28 years. He occupies a seat in the congress of the late Congressman Martin B. Madden, the gentle effort, perseverance and the exercise of keen judgment another member of the commitee cumulate a large fortune and become a power in the civic and political life.

Ohio Grand Chancellor Flails Pythian Leader Anent Building Project
Columbus, Ohio—Dealing in convincing facts and figures and challenging the titular leader of the Pythian fraternity to deny some of his charges, Sir Robert B. Barres, grand chancellor of the Colored Knights of Pythias of Ohio, jurisdiction of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, has written an open letter to Sir S. W. Green of New Orleans, La., supreme chancellor of the order, in which the redubtable Ohio literally castigates the Pelican City "Little Napoleon." This open letter of Mr. Barbus, who is also a member of the attorney general's staff of the Buckeye.State, is in answer to an open letter written to him by Mr. Green under date of November 11, 1929.
Tearing to amithereens some of the home-spun and illogical argument advanced by Mr. Green in his open letter chiding him (Mr. Barcus) for alleged failure, as head of Ohio Pythians, to support the national administration of the fraternity and for the evering relations with the supreme lodge because of the latter's gigantic and blundering building policy, Mr. Barcus concludes by saying: "You will find numerous 'grains of wheat and 'no chaff' in this communication if you will only take time to remove the motes from your eyes."
Attacks Investment Policy
After charging and proving that the supreme lodge had assessed the grant of $10,000 for "building projects, Mr. Barrow continues, "not noted that you represented under date of November 11, 1929 that, 'the Pythian Bath House and National Pythian Temple are both built on the same site,' the Pythian Bath House and Santafenium at Hot Springs, Arkansas, are not expected to be a paying investment in dollars and cents but was for building a hotel. "You, therefore, admit that the Pythian Bath House built at a cost of $450,000 taxation of the members of the Granda and Subordinate Lodges, is a failure of enterprise. This building was erected by money paid to the Supreme Lodge and Subordinate Lodges, is a failure of certificates of Indebedness to the Grand Lodges and Grand Counts as well, as you may see fit to call them. You say now that 'the Certificates of Indebedness are Certificates as of the commencement of the Grand Lodges and Grand Counts, which will entitle them to the income claimed from the income of the National Pythian Temple and the Pythian Bath House.'
"What is an investment? Webster's International Dictionary defines money in purchase of a species of property, as a source of income of property."
"You say in your open letter on pages eleven twice the twelve that the Pythian Temple Stile would be entitled to whatever dividends that may be declared from the purchase of the Pythian Plane and the Pythian Bath House and Sanitarium by the Pythian Temple Commission; so that your statement on your statement on pages eleven and twelve of your letter of November 11, the Pythian Bath House and Sanitarium not expected to be a paying investment in that that 'the Certificates as of Stockholdings dividends that may be declared by the Pythian Temple Commission from the income of the National Pythian Temple and the Pythian Bath House and Sanitarium."
"The Supreme Lodge certainly would not have obstructed itself by being involved in the dividends out of income of the Bath House, if it had not expected there-
"What is a dividend? Webster's International Dictionary defines dividend as follows: 'It is a sum of money or quantity of commodities to be divided and distributed; the share of a sum divided that falls to each individual; a distributed sum, share, or percentage; applied to profits as apportioned among share holders.'
"It, therefore, appears from your own language that the Certificates as of Stock in the sum of $450,000 of the $580,640 paid to the Supreme Lodge to finance the construction of the Pythian Bath House and Sanitarium at a cost of $450,000 at Hot Springs, Arkansas, was done with the expectation of declaring and paying dividends to the holders thereof from the income from that enterprise.
"It further appears that your financial statement of the cash assets of the Supreme Lodge on July 1, 1929, is inaccurate and incorrect in that it reports as cash assets $69,697.45 under the head of Taxes Receivable, which are taxes alleged to be due from several Grand Lodges, but
which have not been collected or received by the Supreme Master of Exchequer.
"Your financial statement of cash assets of the Supreme Lodge on July 1, 1929, is inaccurate and erroneous in the head of 'Accured Interest Receipt' for the Supreme Lodge of 828.478, but not which has not been collected or received by the Supreme Master of Exchequer.
You know at time that you were preparing your 'so-called financial statement the exact balance in cash in all of the Supreme Lodge of the Supreme Master of Exchequer to me under date of November 11, 1929, that there were cash assets in the Supreme Lodge July 1, 1929, of $912.878.
How could any man simply try to be the 'confirming member' of the Grand Jurisdictions and the public in general of the solvency of the Supreme Lodge before his eyes," as contained in the report of the Supreme Master of Exchequer as he informs set out on a copy of a letter sent to me by you and Construction Company, from the Construction Company of October 8, 1929, which reflects on the solvency of the Supreme Lodge
"Western Iron Construction Co.
Inc., 4906-08 North Clark St., Chicago
"October 8, 1929.
“Upon my return to the city today, I was much surprised to learn that we have received to date—only a little over $17,000 of a total past due of $61,725.
“We are being rushed and squeezed by our banks who cannot see why a proper plan of financing was not done by you long ago in anticipation of this crisis.
“The sum and substance of all this is—we want our money and want it at once, as we do not see why we should wait for the expiration date of your proclamation calling for this tax.
“May we suggest that you call a meeting at once of all Grand Chancellor, as which time they will be advised that a receivership for the building will be instituted, unless each and every Grand Lodge comes to the immediate rescue of the Supreme Lodge and pays our money.”
“This letter is signed by the Western Iron Construction Company, Inc. How can any honest man try to conceive the confiding members of the Order in the Ohio and whether Grand Jurisdiction and the public in general of the solvency of the Supreme Lodge with this letter of the Western Iron Construction Company, Inc., plainly before his eyes?”
"Further, why, if as you claim, there were cash assets in the case of $812,375.81 you beg the Grand Chancellors at the session held in April 2015 to buy National Pythian Temple Burying Tales in advance Pythian Temple Burying Tales in advance Pythian General contractor at least $50,000 or the sum of $61,725, which was due to the National Pythian Temple or October 1, 1929? I remember or October 1, 1929? The answer is that you have no such cash assets in the Supreme Lodge's treasury, $327.85, on the other hand, you have $327.85, on the Supreme Lodge's treasury on that date the sum of $7,781.20, as contained in the report of the Supreme Master of Executions." "Further, the Supreme Attorney in taking the report to the Supreme Lodge's treasury could be devised for obtaining some money from the Grand Lodge or otherwise to deliver for the National Pythian Temple Lodge was heavily in debt, and that the burden was proving to be too heavy to bear, and that the National Lodge was in debt, and that topups, which was slowly, but surely, crushing the life out of the Supreme Lodge."
"How can any man try to convince in Ohio and other Grand Jurisdictions and the public in general of the solvency of the report of the Supreme Attorney is before his eyes, telling him of the special condition of the Supreme Lodge." "Further, the Pythian Bath House, 500 Santiam, casting about 100,000 members, was sold because it did not earn the county taxes of $489,800. How can you convince the 'confiding members of the solvency' of the Supreme general of the solvency of the Supreme with these facts before my eyes? The Temple, costing $1,800,000 with an appraisal value of $1,000,000 on the taxes having been paid on the property for nearly two years, how can the taxes have been paid on the Order of the solvency of the Supreme Lodge, when that organization is principal only and must be paid at maturity and other special bond holders in the amount of $429,800.

He is in the city to come to deliberation he offered twenty-five dollars to anyone who would stay four rounds with him. Jack answered the challenge, but he needed the four rounds, for Thompson obliged him in advance. That it was two rounds, he could women. Forty do guard the twelve-five dollars.
Up in this display of little passion, Jack and his made his plans for a buying corner. Thompson his plans for a buying corner. Thompson his plans for a buying corner. Thompson who was there a tightener of considerable prominence.
In spite of Jack's growing pressure and pressure in pugilism his actions and decisions palpable upon him not to arrest his child, Jack did not control his schooling even, but to deferred to them by promising to complete the grammar grade.
which amounts to $28,938, and the Supreme Lodge has only about $7,000 as cash assets?
“The Supreme Lodge is indebted to its holders of notes, for the sum of $234,579.75. At six per cent per annum, the interest on that amount is $14,074.79 but with only about $7,000 in cash assets and having not one profitable revenue building in its name, how can I convince the ‘confiding members of the Order in Ohio and other Grand Jurisdictions and the public in general of the solvency of the Supreme Lodge’ with these figures plainly before my eyes.”
“Further, assuming that the Western Iron Construction Company, Inc. had been paid $61,000 since the Supreme Lodge adjourned in August, 1929, the Supreme Lodge would be indebted to sit for work up to date and in a sum of $273,275, and the interest on that amount would be $16,396.51, making the total sum of interest and principal to be $289,671. Now, how can a man say that any organization is solvent under such circumstances with only about $7,000 in cash assets?
"Further, you tell us now that the vast sum of $586,6460, which the Supreme Lodge collected and received from the Grand Lodges and Grand Courts at different times from the year of 1903 down to the year of 1929 was not a loan, and there is no interest due to them on this money, but that it represents worthless stock in the Supreme Lodge holdings, and that the Grand Lodges and Grand Courts are merely stock or share holders. This means that the Grand Lodges and Grand Courts have invested $586,640 of their money in the Supreme Lodge worthless stock."
"Further, why did you not tell the members of the Supreme Jurisdiction that interest bearing Pythian Temple coupons sold to some of the Grand Lodges under your administration, when they became due, were returned as 'unpaid' to such Grand Lodges, because the Supreme Lodge was insolvent so far as being able to pay the interest due on such bonds?"
"Quoting from your open letter of November 11, 1929, I find the follow:
Manipulating Figures
“If you could manipulate dollars as you are able to manipulate figures you would have been a millionaire long since.”
“In answer to the foregoing statement I return the compliment by saying that if you were as good on making 'actual cash assets' out of 'uncollected Pythian taxes' and 'uncollected deferred accrued interest' due on such 'uncollected Pythian Temple Taxes,' as well as you are able to juggle figures, relating to the actual cash assets in the hands of the Supreme Master of Exchequer, July 1, 1929, you would have been long since hailed and proclaimed as 'the Eighth Wonder of the World.'
Misapplication and Diversion Pythian Temple Tax Fund
"Quoting from your open letter under date of November 11, 1929, page 128, the "Funds collected for the erection of a Pythian Bath House and Sanitarium and a National Pythian Bath House and Sanitarium and the payment of attorney fees and court costs in the Georgia Case," the author of the Supreme Jurisdiction the whole truth as to the misuse of these funds on the Supreme Trust funds while you were telling them that you used part of the Supreme Trust funds while you were telling them that you not tell them that upon your order that some 29 or 30 people were charged for $8,734.33 on the Pythian Temple Bath House and Sanitarium Trust certain Supreme Funds, either for their salaries," office rent, and other expenses, loans, and that thousands of dollars of these trust funds used to this estate.
"My, you dear sir, know as you have admitted, that these funds were required by taxation for only two purpure Pythian Temple and a Bath House and Santaritum—and were to be used for order and direction, $7,493,743 were misappropriated and wrongly directed to $7,827,438 was paid to you you received and paid to you Chancellor in payment of your 'salary' and "I challenge you to deny the accuracy and correctness of your payment for 24 hours not only to give the number of your voucher which was issued in your

Los Angeles, Cal.—(ANP)—Back to love and isolation went there the former Helen Lee Worthing, former Fellies beauty and two years the highest paid dancer on the stage when, after five days of jerriff riffles and a fight with her husband, Dr. Engene Nelson.
In 1927 the popular white act was called to Hollywood to do work in the motion picture and while there she was set upon in her home by an intruder and beaten. Doctor Nelson was called to attend her after she recovered, she disappeared.
It now transpired that the two persons had fallen in love with each other and had gone to Tia Jamaa where they were married. The Miss Worthing gave up all her former friends and connections and returned to Los Angeles, where Dr. Nelson into the Negro settlement of Los Angeles, where they lived.
First news of her whereabouts came five days ago when she fled some relatives and with them instituted suit for divorce. The cause of her murder was a quarrel over another woman.
Now that the reconciliation has come about, Mrs. Nelson says that her husband's race makes no difference with her. "I love my husband, and his race or blood makes no difference," she said. "I heard rumors before our marriage that he had Nregro blood. He has shown me that he loves me. We are going back home together." Dr. Nelson is quite as fair as a white man and dresses his hair, wearing a gaiter in a manner to give him comfort. But since coming to Los Angeles from East some years ago, he had made no effort to conceal his race. He has had considerable professional and business success. He was one of the first Negroes in California to graduate from college, he said, he sold to oil stock which brought him good returns. He

Chicago, Ill.—(ANP) Ocurre priestess, congressman from the First Illinois District, is not哭uring because Representative Allogud, an Alabama Democrat, resigned from the enrolled bills committee of the house when DePriest was put up all. It "the enrolled bills committee is an honorary committee, I cannot utter my district on it, and now that the Republican from Chicago has been added to it, I do not desire the name." DePriest replied that it was a good thing for the committee that Allogud was off it and that it would be better for congress if the minority of race-hating, prejudiced and biased Allogud were excluded altogether.
So far it has not become known whether Senator Thomas Helfin, Alabama fater cater, has tried to make good on his threat to throw DePriest out of the situate dining room if he is not there any more, when Helfin heard that DePriest had taken a meal in the situate restaurant, he became so insured that he called up the impersonator and asked him to let him know whenever Mr. DePriest should be in again so that he could come in. Since this form of congresspun, Mr. DePriest has not been thrown out, but it is not known whether that is because Mr. Helfin has been afraid to come on over, or Mr. DePriest has been afraid to eat there, or the senator has been kept so busy dodging the district that he has not been told. Once before Helfin used a paint on a gentleman of color and got away with it, but nobody knew whether he still carries the same weapon. DePriest, it seems, is to have his own troubles at home.

Brenice Simmons is still quietly pushing his campaign to get in a position where he can make both the South and the South like it.
Alhair Lorran R. J. Anderson is asked to lead the campaign of a congressman, although his organization has endured DePriest. There are those who say he would not look unkind upon anyone who might encourage him to make the race and show him how he could do it without a law. It is assumed that the Second Ward leader could defeat DePriest.

Representative Allgood of Alhaba won't serve on a committee of the house of representatives because Oscar DePriest, Negro member from Chicago, is on that committee. Too bad that there are not enough Negro congressmen. No committee, so that Allgood would have to stay out of all committees.
Why doesn't Allgood resign from membership in the congress, since DePriest is a member of that?
Then, too, he might go on and be perfectly consistent and resign from his position in the human race, since DePriest is also a member of that is certainly some shroud Southern "statemanship" and is the only reason why any of us have ever heard of him. Congress has to thank DePriest for the support nobody would ever have heard of Algood. So too of Alabama, got elected a senator because he shot at a Negro on a Washington street car. Now Algood will be seeking a place in the house. A Negro is in the house. What a pitiful life of intellect and self-importance.
Oscar Dehrar was sent to congress by a much bigger and more representative from any part of the country, and him and his wife remain more resurgent.

Dallas, Texas.—John Thompson of Lenwood, was a recent visitor to our Sunday services. Sunday morning, December 22, our pastor, Rev. W. L. Dickson, greeted us with the sad news that he had resigned the presidency of the New York City of Dice, of the Orphanage at Gilmer. Dr. Dickson is the founder of this institution, and has given over 31 years to this work, and is now turning over to the state over 800 series of black news. He has been able to continue in the work and do justice to his church work. It is not only our opinion, but of many people over the state that Rev. Dickson has done a noble work for his race. God's good people, the Telegists have been pouring in from all over the country, expressing regret over his resignation. Dr. F. M. McConnell, an outstanding white minister, preached a works of 481, 392, 481. Sunday was a banner day with us. The Sunday school seems to have taken on new life. Assistant superintendent had charge and reviewed the lesson. Our assemblage pasts over the General Reached at 11, and at 3 p. m. was accompanied by pastor to the city auditorium where our souls were filled with plantation melodies sung by a number of our black boys and girls. Reeling the goodness of the choir, the choir of the meeting of Chicago, added a singing. Dr. J. W. Franklin, white, of the First Baptist Church, Oak Cliff, was the principal speaker.
On the other hand, the Engelஸst, a bengalist, was present. Our pastor was given a big hand when he assumed the role of master of ceremonies. He was introduced by A. S. Wells, grand attorney of the Knight, F. M. W. New York when led the basement when a chicken dinner was served.
AUSTIN DOINGS
Austin, Texas.—Despite the inclement weather services at the old historical mother church of the denomination and race were well attended Sunday school, with all teachers present, held a most interesting session.

GOLDEN EAGLES SCRATCH LIONS IN ANNUAL TILT
For the first time in their four years of football rivalry, the Booker T. Washington Golden Legends defeat the Jack Yates Lakers at West End Stadium, winning 12-0. The score was 12-0 and was the most decisive victory won by either team
In 1926, the game ended in a 6-12, and 1927 a new repetition of the game, which emerged 8-6 victory, and thus an 12-3 tiltown of the Eagles puts the two schools on even terms. The Eagles lusped out and played outward the Eagles and in the first five minutes of play is touchdown. In receiving the kickoff, McGinnis fumbled the punt and Yates scored touchdown. In receiving the kickoff, McGinnis fumbled the punt and Yates scored touchdown. With a series of pretty plays, Yates registered first three downs and touchdowns downed as toughness imminent. Another fumble in the same quarter gave the Eagles their chance, but again
THE HOUSTON INDEPENDENCE
Returning to the fray in the second half, the Eagles, who played like they needed both sleep and rest, failed to show in the third quarter, but in the final frame Washington found the weakness of the Yates primary second defense, and kept touchdowns, the last one coming one minute before the pistol shot terminating the fray.
Neither team showed much other than the second-style of football, and punting seemed to be the order of the day. In the first half Washing-ton punted, excepting once, and with the star kicker, out of the game, Sanches was unable to gain the drive in the defense deep in their own territory.
The attendance at the game did not come up to expectation, many staying away, apparently, because they thought a Washington victory a fore-
While it is true that Yates failed to impress in the games with Wheatleys and morale that not the Eagles Wednesday and a new Lion aggregation (in spirit and morale) that not the Eagles Wednesday, we all that any team could desire. In the second stanza the Lions hated a mean offensive launched by the proteses that not the Eagles protees under the shadow of Yates' goal.
In the usual wanguing over decisions was coapious by its absence, and the officiating of Referee James H. Law (who, by the way, had just been married to Dr. ThelmA Patten, a local physician) and Umpire John E. Gun Jackson, Washington right tackle, attempted an "Art Shirts" on Yates player, but his comrades and the proteses were unimpressed on the bellcone gridirter and dowmed him in his trucks before he could demonstrate his pugilistic prowess. Fightights took place in the stands, due, perhaps, to too much Yuletid jubes, hooth or what- have-you, but the downfall was done in either case.

JULIUS ROSENWALD
C.A.N.F.
Chicago, Ill.—ANP—What Julius Rosenwald, nationally and internationally known philanthropist, has done during the year closing June 30th, 1929, to help Negroes in the United States to help themselves, is graphically told in the report of the Rosenwald Fund of which Edwin R. Embree is president.
This report which was made to the board of trustees of the fund and released to the public Monday morning, shows that the scope of the work of the organization has extended during the past year to institutions including privately operated colleges and universities, and hospitals have been aided.
For a number of years the Rosenwald Fund has been chief interest in the development of schools in the rural South but at the present time it is developing a development of hospitals, colleges, trade schools and other agencies working for the general advancement of the group in all sections of the country
The report points out that "during year 1922-29 the fund cooperated in building 236 rural elementary and high schools, 36 shops for vocational training, 113 homes for 183 students and in schools already built, 78 additional rooms were constructed. This brings the total of modern schools, shops and teachers' homes aided by the fund to 4,729, located in 518 cities of fourteen Southern states. The same given from the fund for construction of these schools during the war. The same fund contributed to the same schools contributions from Negroes were $366,000; white citizens were $101,113; and public funds $146,166." Through these 4,729 schools, 152,943 employees are employed and 566,700 Negro boys and girls are afforded an opportunity to receive an education. Each year an increase in students and better trained teachers
Special emphasis was placed in backward areas, "in July 1, 1928," the report points out, "there were 138 counties in fourteen Southern states which had a Negro population of over five per cent, and in which there were 138 counties in fourteen Southern states in order to stimulate building in those counties the fund has offered to contribute one and one-half times the regular allocation to the first Rosenwald school constructed in any of these counties. As a result of this offer forty such counties completed modern schools during the fiscal year 1928. To help Negro youth attain training in the arts and sciences as well as in vocational schools, the fund, during the past year aided many private and state institutions, thus joining hands with other boards and individuals in helping to equip and manhandle these colleges at an advenience. The state schools also were involved in Alabama, Arkansas and Florida.
Private institutions that were included by the fund during the past year were: Lincoln University (Pennsylvania), Howard University, University of Michigan, Bennett College, Marehouse, Morgan, St. Augustines, Talladega and Wiley colleges, and the newly founded Dillard University in New Orleans, La.
Realizing that the faculty must be composed of the highest trained individuals, many fellowships have been granted during the past year and to ensure the students of proper references, books, the fund has provided institutions to acquire additional funding. Working upon the well-known fact that "terrens no color line," the fund has done much during the past year to improve its connection, according to the report of President Embreu, appropriations have been made to enable colored public health museums to be appointed in a total of sixteen museums. In the Mississippi and Louisiana museums were made to be housed in Philadelphia; St. Augustines
Respiratory Illness and Type of Ventilation In Schools
Gentile Cook Can Learn Much From Kosher Chef
By DR. ALGERSON R. JACKSON
(For the Associated Negro Press)
A report of considerable interest relating to respiratory illnesses and type of ventilation in schools has recently been made public by Surgeon General H. S. Cummings of the Public Health Department. Partition is drawn between two groups of schools, one group centilized by mechanical means and the other by the natural open window method. The groups are very nearly equal in size, the mechanically centilized group being ventilated by a natural ventilated group L.S.E. pupils.
The two groups are highly comparable in composition, the first having 17.5 per cent of pupils of American origin, the second having 62.5 per cent of pupils; the average age of pupils of the first group is 7.5 years, and the second 8.6 years. The two distribution of pupils is practically the same in both groups of schools. The first group is in the rooms of the schools throughout the course of the study was found to be very nearly the same for both groups, being 62.8 degrees for the mechanically ventilated group and for the naturally ventilated group.
Hospital, affiliated with St. Augustine's College, Enhigh, N. C., Richard Memorial Hospital in Greenbord, N. C., and the Charity Hospital in Savannah. The sum of $300,000 from a comprehensive study to be made by the Tennessee Department of Health of Nigriches health and hospital facilities in that state.
A new field entirely was entered when the past proved merely, namely that the present is so seriously provided the capital for the creation of one of the most modern apartment buildings in the city of Chicago, which is now occupied by Negroes. Located in the heart of the city, the building has done much to affore Negroes adequate living quarters under modern condition. "The purpose is to demonstrate that good modern accommodations can be furnished Negroes at prices which they can afford to pay. This can be done with a business return on the capital invested."
The report praises the progress which the Negro has made in America and the contribution the race has made to the progress of the country. The officers of the fund are Julius Rosewall, chairman of the board of trustees, Eriwil E. Embree, president; Alfred R. Steen, director; William B. Harrell, secretary and associate director; Michael D. Farris, associate director; Michael D. Davis, director for medical services; Cide D. Front, associate for medical services; S. L. Smith, director for rural schools; G. L. Arthur, associate for Negro schools; D. L. Fermann, associate for studies.

We have often thought that the Gentile clerk could be now much of window and art from the Jewish house, masher. Five thousand years of tradition, the longest unbroken racial heritage in the world, has given to the Jewish cook a rich store of ordinary here. Prepared after a manner rightly prescribed by religious ritual, kosher foods have the advantage of being wholesome, appréciating and above all things clean and pure.
The Jewish race had its origin in a hot semi-tropical land, where food spouts quickly and dench and disease follow violation of nature's laws. The religions law which guide the preparation of Jewish foods came into being not only as a rice, but also to protect the health and well being of the nation—and this many centuries before the modern knowledge of sanitation was dreamed of. How well they wrought, those father-nبکم، race, is to be seen today in the large cities of the United States where Gentiles throng the kosher restaurants.
These records have gathered from hisler cooks and I am passing them on to the attention more particularly of Gentiles than in the

And, lastly, it might well be pointed out that the actual numbers of absences of a duration of three days or more amounted to 359 in the mechanically ventilated group as compared with the group from these studies. From group data it appears reasonable to conclude that the atmospheric conditions produced by the systems of mechanical ventilation in use at the time of the study were associated with higher respiratory illness absence rates. These studies, however, are interpreted as condensing all mechanical systems of air conditioning.
COLLEGE HEADS CALLED TO MEET HERE JAN. 1ST
Marshall, Texas, Dec. 19, 1929.
Presidents Texas College:
(Attention: Southwestern Athletic Conference.)
I have just read a copy of the formal protest that has been filed by the Texas College Board of State Normal and Industrial College against Wiley College, on the charge that the latter institution permitted the protesters to take place in certain intercollege football contacts during the past conference. The protest are matters of common knowledge among the students, incited by the five major Texas institutions involved, and that have critical public opinion of the five major Texas institutions involved, of which have critical public opinion of these leading colleges in the embarrassing day of investigation in the light of binding mutual agreements.
I am very important aspect of that matter伸向 the department.

that they may be made of it by the conference, which affect all of our institutions, presidents, should take immediate and conclusive action. For instance, the eligibility of college athletes is an issue that will be determined of qualification of students to enter our schools or to participate in activities. The fact bearing on this subject is the case of every prospectus submitted to the hands of conference and college officials in time to allow ample opportunity to act in a singular action, on such irregularities as may be discovered, be investigated and fully stated agreements, and finally held agreed, agreements. Such some procedure will protect our institutions against just public criticism of contests among Negroes are must exist among them if interrogations contests among Negroes are

"SAFE AND SANE FUEL"
We all will agree that physical culture and real sportsmanship are of major importance in athletics, but it seems that we have allowed these objectives to be subordinated to the less worthy one of "victory at any cost." It is reported that visiting teams are intimidated by outsiders at one of the three preferences, betting in freely indulged in by interested parties at others; and it is probably true that the student bodies of all of our colleges exhibit a very poor brand of sportsmanship during and after contests. Games are frequently delayed by arguments growing largely out of the public. In a protection of officials, Foul play is commonly resorted to by contestants. There is, too, the serious matter of recruiting athletes by offering special inducements, in the unfair practice of producing winning teams.
These and other conditions serve to discredit our institutions and to pervert one of the most highly educative agents in the possession of the modern college.
I do not mean to say, even by the slightest intimidation, that our presidents have not given this matter serious attention before now, or that they have failed to assume definite responsibility for the improvement of intercollegiate sports and the spirit of good sportsmanship in our institutions, but to make up our legal face the problem with greater vigor and a more determined purpose to actually do something about it.
I hereby pledge Bishop College without reservation, to the support of the students of the invitation to join me at a dinner at the Y. W. C. A. Houston, Texas. January 15th at 12:30 p.m. in the course of action in this matter, as presidents, that will effectively safe all students whose athletics in our colleges.

6:1, 2: Ps 122 1-9. Heb 10 22 25
GOLDEN FEXT-As his custom was
he went into the synagogue on the
Sabbath day
1. The Place of the Bible in Worship
(Neh. 9:1 (2)
1. The reading of God's word (vv
1-3).
(1) The eager assembly (v. 1). The
people gathered themselves together
and requested Ezra to bring the book
of the law. God had touched their
hearts, creating within them a yearn-
ing for His Word.
(2) It was a representative assem-
bly (v. 2). It was made up of men
women and children. God's Word
should be taught to all classes, men
women and children.
(3) An appreciative assembly (v. 3)
So eager were they to know God's Word that they did not get tired all though the lesson lasted five or six hours. Their ears were attentive from morning until midday.
2. The attitude of the people toward God's Word (vv. 4.6)
(1) They reverenced it (vv. 4. 5)
When Ezra opened the law all the people stood up out of respect for God's Word.
(2) They joined heartily in the prayer (v. 6) As Ezra led them to prayer, they united in saying, Amen, Amen, bowing their faces to the ground.
3 God's Word being Interpreted (wv. 7. 8).
(1) Ezra stood up where the people could see him (v. 5).
(2) He read distinctly (v. 8). The manner in which many read the Scriptures greatly disregards them.
(3) He caused the people to understand the reading (v. 8). The supreme business of the minister is to make the Word of God plain to all, old and young.
4. Effect of the application of God's Word upon the life of the people (vv. 9-12).
(1) Conviction of sin (v. 9).
The divine method of convicting men of sin is the application in God's Word in the energy of the Holy Ghost.
(2) Weeping turned into joy (vv. 10.12). Forgiveness follows the recognition and confession of sin. (3) Their blessings were, shared with others (vv. 10.12).
II. Jerusalem the World's Central Place of Worship (Micah 4:1, 2).
1. Its place of supremacy (v. 1).
In the last days, Messiah's kingdom, with Jerusalem as its capital shall prevail over all kingdoms.
2. The peoples, Jews, shall flow until (v. 1). It will be a beautiful sign to see the Jews who have been seized all over the world come to Jerusalem as a mighty flowing stream.
3. The Gentile nations shall there to worship (v. 2).
4. The supreme purpose of the going will be to be taught of God that they may walk in His wail (v. 2).
What a wonderful day when
peoples of the world shall worm
together in God's holy temple!
III. The Song of the Worship
(Ps. 122:19).
This psalm is one of the so-
sung by the Jews as they made the
pilgrimages to Jerusalem to worm
at the great festivals. This song
bodies the following great ideas:
1. The joy of the worshipers
(1, 2).
The invitation to go up to the hot
of the Lord to worship stirred wit
the delightful emotions.
2. Love and admiration for Go
house (vv. 3, 4).
We should go to the house of w ship because we love the place. L Jesus, we should regard it as Father's house. 3. It was the seat of royalty (v. When Christ's kingdom shall be tablished in Jerusalem, worship will delight to journey there beca of their love for Him.
4. Prayer for God's house; pray for the peace of Jerusalem (v. 6).
It is our duty as well as privy to pray for Israel. God blesses to who are kindly disposed toward chosen people (Gen. 12:1-3).
One Way to Help God
There is but one way in which can ever help God—that is by to God help him; and there is no in which His name is more taken in vain than by calling abandonment of our own work, performance of His.—Ruskin.

Give the Book of God its plea prayer. Prayer is not talking to simply; it is listening first, speaking—S. D. Gordon.

THE BEST MAN IN THE WORLD
GRAND CHANCELLOR L. B. KINCHION
The subordinate lodges Knights of Pythias, under the Jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge Colored Knights of Pythias of Texas, are enjoying a rare treat in that they are recipients of a Christmas greeting from Grand Chancellor L. B. Kinchion which is unique. We have reference to the free dispensation which has been issued to every subordinate lodge Jurisdiction of Texas.
The dispensation was accompanied by a circular letter sent out from the office of Grand Chancellor Kinchion expressing a real sympathetic attitude toward unfortunate members of the order who have for one cause or another permitted themselves to become unfinancial and suspended.
The dispensation and the letter above referred to, which were mailed to all of the lodges Jurisdiction of Texas, show that the grand chancellor is exerting an extraordinary effort to have those return to the fold who have fallen by the wayside. Both of these documents emanating from the office of Grand Chancellor L. B. Kinchion are an appeal to those who have once been members of the order to join us in our program of constructive progress to substantially build a race by mobilizing our manpower, amassing our funds and creating a sentimemnt of good will toward all men.
From the above and foregoing, we are thoroughly convinced that the action of the Grand Chancellor of the Grand Lodge Colored Knights of Pythias of Texas with respect to the above and foregoing, has gone far afield from the beaten paths of fraternal organizations in the matter of issuing dispensations for the sole purpose of assisting former members of the organization.

Anyhow, what the occasion lacks in attendance, the pep squads of the two high schools are making up in rooting and cheering before game time.
Coach R. G. ("Dick") Lockett of Washington Golden Eagles giving the soft gridiron the "once over," while his second string team goes through signal practice.
Here comes Coach W. S. Holland of Jack Yates Lions, followed by his aggregation, with determination written across their mien.
Dr. T. J. Hackett finding a comfortable seat in the sun.
Mrs. J. T. Fox, wife of dean of Houston Junior College, all "dolled up" in her Christmas livery; while Hubby J. T. stands by admiringly.
Principals W. E. Miller and James D. Ryan in their usual pre-game confab. Wonder what they say to each other every Christmas Day Just before the tilt? Not hardly what the governor of North Carolina said to the governor of South Carolina!
E. C. Fonsworth, Yates instructor and publicity director, who has qualified as a sports writer.
Merry Christmas, John ("Shano") Collins, well-know sportsman and business man.
Home for the holidays and watching her alma mater in action, Miss Ruby Lee Bedford, Wiley co-ed.
Look who's watching the game, L. L. Lockhart, veteran postoffice carrier, while Ed McCullough, another carrier of long standing, stands by his side.
Mrs. Claudia W. Hunter, Washington tutor and Coleridge-Taylor singer, bedecked in school colors and wearing a victory smile.
The charming lady accompanying her is her Yuletide guest, Mrs. Thelme M. Johnson of San Antonio.
Alvin ("Watty") Watkins, star Bishop back, and Cornelius ("Sunshine") Harris, P. V. stude, looking the stands over and pulling for their alma mater, Washington.
Out to see what it is all about is Rayfield Johnson, superintendent of the Pilgrims' building.

not warranted by their ratings given following examinations.
This case, however, is not confined to colored appointees. In fact, most of the promotions and appointments have been made for whites and involve several members of the civil service commission. Lieutenant J. H. Scott, of the Police Department, has been implicated but has denied that he paid for his advancement. Whether or not his record warranted his promotion from sergeant to lieutenant has not been stated by the investigators.
In all events, there is much interest manifested in the case and there are those who believe that the charges are true and those who express the opinion that the whole affair is a frame-up. The trial is the only answer to the question and that will be settled within the next several weeks.
Of course, these possible indictments, added to the long string which the grand juries and the special grand juries have unwound in the last two years, contribute to a large sense of boredom in the minds of the general public. The motive of most of the indictments has been to visit punishment upon politicians, big and little, who were trafficking with the underworld and proving in other ways unfaithful to their trusts, but they have all failed to such an extent that the people have come to believe, either that the prosecutors are too dumb, or the politicians are too smart, for the object sought to be gained.
Hence, the statements of politicians that they have nothing to fear is taken to mean either that they are confident of their innocence or of their ability, in one way or another, of establishing their innocence or making their guilt impossible to prove.

Dis is Krismus eves eve, an I'm is settin heer vwushin yu an awl de res uv my fripe an evun down ter dem whut doa' think dey is my frins, er Merry Krismus an I's gwine furder an wush em awl er Happy Nu Yeer, an ef yu pushes me 2 fur I'll go still furder and wush em er glorius foe uv Juli.

Everboddy yu met, wite er black wuz having sump'n nice ter say ter yu. An it maid yu feel jis lack uwuz er shonuff human bein, an not sum animul ter be shunned. An den on Sundy, Lee, I wint out ter chu'ch an awtho I lack ter frez, it hepped me long mitely wid de Krismus sperrit. De pas'er preceeded sump'n bout 3 mens, Jakup, Izril, and ernuther feller whoooze name sounded mitely lack "Go-get-yo'-rum," but I no i kooden er bin dat, but it bein so ni ter Krismus time, innothing wood er sounded ter me lack go get yo' rum.
Innyhow, Lee, dis ole wurl aint neer es bad es we sumtise paint it. An ef innyboddy kood uv seed de luvly day we had Sundy an Mundy an den wush he wuz ded, sumboddy orter hep him ter git whut he wants. Es fer me, I'm is mitey glad dat I'm is still on dis ole urth, an ef it lef ter me, I aint never gwineter leeve it. Its er butiful ole wurl, an w'en er man kin go hoam dese cole nites outen de slop an freeze an git him er good ezy chair in frunt uv de fyr, atter he's dun et er good hot meel er vittuls, an lite his seegar er ole pipe, an jis set dere an snooze er wile an den do er lil day dreemin, he orter be 'mitey thankful.
