Iowa State Bystander

THE BYSTANDER States In Various Sections of America Bear Testimony to Estimate In Which Name of Brent Hall Is Hold—New Paster of Liberty Baptist Church in Atlanta. Atlanta, Ga.—Ernest Hall, as he is affectionately called by thousands of people in every section of the country, has had an interesting career from poverty to competency. Born in the state of Missouri forty-five years ago of former slave parents on the banks of the "Father of Waters," the fifth son of William and Annie Hall, he early showed a passion for books and learning that is seldom seen in one of his years. His parents were too poor to buy him all the books he needed as he attended the common school in his home town. So he had to borrow a book from first one and then another of his playmates to enable him to keep up with his classes, at the head of which he stood for many years. Realising DR. REMIET HALL. that his home town or village did not offer adequate educational advantages to satisfy him, he was permitted to leave home, at an age considered much too young by parents of this day, to go to Quincy, Ill., where he worked during the day and attended school at night for ten years, graduating from the oldest higher educational institution in the state. He also took a business course and read law in the office of one of the greatest law firms in the state. For fourteen years Ernest found employment with the Tenk Hardware company of Quincy. Henry Tenk, the president, has said many a time that he was thoroughly trustworthy and was trusted implicitly in all the relations of his extensive business. Leaving the employ of the firm referred to above, Ernest went to Pooria, Ill., where he entered the Christian ministry and was ordained by the Mount Pigagh Baptist church of Bloomington, Ill. It would take a page to tell of all his educational ventures, covering thirty years. Beginning his pastoral labors at DuQuoin, Ill., where he built up the church and drew a salary three times as large as any one ever drew who served there before him, he blazed the way for other good men to follow him. Upon leaving there he went to Bloomington, where he remained for many years with the church that ordained him and left because his mother died there. But few men in any age have been attached to their mothers as was Ernest Hall. While living at Springfield Dr. W. H. Hill of Pittsburgh telephoned him to come to Pittsburgh to see him on a matter of pressing business. While there he preached for the Trinity Baptist church to fill an engagement for Dr. Hill, who was sick at this time, and the church would not let him return home until it had a promise from him that he would become its pastor. This church paid him more money than it had ever paid any other pastor and did not owe him a cen when he said goodbye to the congregation in June of this year. Upon the first Sunday in July of this year he took charge of the Liberty Baptist church of Atlanta, Ga., amid the joyful acclaim of a joyful church and city. Liberty church is paying him a larger salary to begin with than any other man has ever drawn at any time during its history. With the coming of this man to this church two mighty forces have united for the extension of the kingdom of God. Ernest Halt is one of the best preachers. ers, with one of the best minds for preaching, the race has produced. He possesses the finest library of any man of the race. Dr. Hall is one of the oldest if not the oldest eye doctor in the race. The history of the Baptists of the race cannot be written without giving prominence to his name. Happy is the church that can secure his services and happy the man who can call him "my friend." DIRECTORS, WERE CHOSEN AND ADVISORY BOARD WAS TENTATIVELY NAMED — MUCH MONEY IN THE BANK. The "Grand United Odd Fellows' Building Association," incorporated, met at their hall at Thirteenth and Main streets, last night for the annual election of officers and to receive reports of the retiring board of directors. The rental agent showed that he had collected the sum of $75.00 from tenants of the building since June 28, 1916. The statement from the Kookuk National bank showed that the association had a deposit on its bank book for the building plan in his sum of seven hundred and ninety-three dollars and fifty cents ($793.50). The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Board of directors—Frank Fileds, president, Keokuk; George A. Mott, vice president, Keokuk; George H. Woodson, treasurer and manager, Buxton; Edward Robertson, member of the board, Marahalltown; George O. Terrell, member of the board, Colafx; Mrs. Mattie Fosfer, assistant secretary, Keokuk; W. W. Gross, secretary, Keokuk. The following persons were elected members of the advisory building board subject to their acceptance: Thomas J. Davis, Keokuk; W. A. S. Mills, Keokuk; Mrs. Susie Holmes, Keokuk; Mrs. Nannie Jefferson, Keokuk; Rev. J. H. Helm, Keokuk; Rev. S. B. Moore, Keokuk. One hundred and ten of the three hundred subscribers needed to complete the plan have already been secured in less than four months, perhaps the greatest financial progress attained that has ever attended any financial association of colored citizens in the city of Keokuk in such a short time.—The Gate City. WASHINGTON, IOWA, NOTES. Rev. Morgan visited in Ottumwa at the home of his daughter the fore part of last week. Did you take notice of the value of the colored players to the winning football teams in last Saturday's games? You should. Pollard was the whole thing for Brown against Harvard, and again Butler of the German college of Dubuque was a strong factor in that team's win. And then here in Washington the Fort Madison team high school) won from our high school 3 to 0, in which Mr. Harper on the winning team was one of the principals in Washington's defeat. They are all good "Indians." Miss Cloretta Allen was guilty of one of the most "heinous" social crimes of the season, when on last Saturday evening she invited a company of young friends to assist her in giving Miss Marie Whaley a birthday surprise party. Miss Marie was inveigled into attending a "movie" with J. D. and while they were absent the balance of the bumen took the home and on the return of the couple they found the "empty" home occupied. Lunch was served and a grand time was spent till a late hour. Many nice remembrances were left by the invaders. The Ladies' Aid served supper in the lecture room of the church on Thursday evening and a nice little sum was added to their treasury. Miss Luba Gwinn entertained a small company of friends at a 6 o'clock dinner last Sunday evening. There is some talk of a revival being held at the A. M. E. church in the near future. Mrs. Tifm remains about the same. Mrs. McGill of Fairfield is a guest at the Phil Rushing home. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Burkley entertained at a four-course dinner Tuesday at their home Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Burnett. Mrs. Emma Hall was confined to her bed the fore part of the week with sickness. Miss Florence Hall, who was threatened wint scarlet fever last week, is convalescing. Sick Headache. This distressing disease results from a disordered condition of the stomach, and can be cured by taking Chamberlain's Ta'lets. For sale by all dealers. WOMEN OF RARE MUSICAL TALENT PRAISED BY NOTED ARTISTS Daughters of Celebrated Tragedian and Interpreter of the Shakespearean Drama Win Fame on Stage and in Medical War—European War Prevented Their Appearance in America. Dr. JOHN R. BRUCE "CRIT." Just before the breaking out of the war in Europe I had some correspondence with the Misses Ira and Lumnah Aldridge, daughters of the late Ira Aldridge, celebrated as a tragodian. A little over fifty years ago he was as famous as an interpreter of the Shakespearean drama as was Booth, Kean, Mr. Beebohr. Then any of the later day stars on the English or American stage, judging from the fattering character of the press notices given him by the English, Russian, German and French dramatic critics of his day. The Misses Aldridge had written me The Misses Aldridge had written me in in regard to an American tour—both Mary Ann IBA AND LURANAH ALDRIDGE of them are musical—and I had taken some steps to engage a manager and publicity promoter for them when the war began, and our plan went awry. These ladies are living with their aged mother at Bedford Gardens, Kensington, England. One of them, Miss Luranah Aldridge, is a noted singer and musical composer, writing under the pen name of Montagu Ring. The other, Miss Ira, is a vocalist and has made an enviable reputation on the stage in England, France and Germany, where she has appeared before the most select and critical audiences. On hearing her sing for the first time, at Queen's hall, London, July, 1901, Charlotte Heavisides Marshall, an English poetess, wrote in Gleanings by the Way and dedicated to her these beautiful verses: The magic of thy glorious voice Sank deep into my heart. Awaking slumbering memories That hath the tenacious start. Fair memories of long, yanished years. When thy father's genius shone A star in the dramatic world As radiant as thine own. Farewell, sweet girted sisters both, Twin stars now shining bright. You must bear the soul and admire divine light. And spread dunner right. The Paris Figaro, 1903, speaking of her, said: "Miss Luranah Aldridge, the great singer, had a very great success at her concert on Wednesday," etc. The American Register, London, 1903, said: "Miss Luranah Aldridge's concert at railway hall was a decided success. The young singer possesses a sympathetic and rich contralto, which was heard to advantage in many different songs of varied countries and schools." The Referee, a London musical publication, says: "In spite of the popularity of the tango Messrs. Chappell continue to publish waltzes. One of the best of these is "Laughing Love," by Montag Ring. This admirably reflects the spirit of the dance and is well calculated to animate the light fantastic toe." The Daily Telegraph, London, says: "At the Chappell concert one of the best of the novelties was Montag Ring's melodious and smoothly written song, The Bride, which was interpreted in impassioned style by Mr. Morgan Kingten." Of Miss Ira Ia Aldridge's vocal ability the London Times says: "The vocal recital given by Miss Ira Aldridge in Steinway hall last Friday night attracted a very large audience. Her finished and artistic singing was exhibited in songs in various languages mentioned in the book, mentioned in Scoutatt's "Vibh Ia Bole," the old German "Avo Maria Zart," the French "Mennec D'Engaud," Schumann's "Schematgruber," Coloridegruber's "exeptive" "African Love" Song and Goring Thomas' "Heart's Fancies." The style of these different lyrics was fully greased, and in all success won." The London Musical Courier in its critique of the same recital said "Miss Ira Aldridge, who gave a vocal recital in Stainton hall on the 10th st., is a fanished artist, who produces her voice with varied effect and according to the best methods. Her interpretation is thoroughly artistic and true to the intention of the composer. In favor of her beautiful voice and through being presented by Mme. Jenny Lind Goldschmidt she was in girlhood selected scholar of the Royal College of Music. Later she studied under Mr. Henchel, two of whose songs, 'Morning' and 'Oh Hush Thee, My Baby,' she sang on the present occasion." One of her best efforts was a group of three songs representing severely the early Italian school in an aria by Scarlett, the German one in "Ave Maria Eart," dated 1675, and in the French style of the eighteenth century in the charming "Menue d'Exudet," doing full justice to modern composers in songs by Villers Stanford, S. Coleridge-Taylor, S. Liddle and Goring Thomas. Miss Luranah Aldridge has a formidable list of vocal and instrumental compositions to her credit, which are being sung and played by musical artists all over England and the continent. In the New Alhambra theater, Esther Square, London, the Australian ballet presented by Theodor Kosloff in November, 1918, opened with the first of her African dances. In a letter to me, speaking of the effect which this weird music seemed to have produced on the critics, who spoke of her as a Russian composer, she wrote: "The ballet opens with the first of my African dances. The papers evidently think that Montagu Ring is a Russian. I have not troubled as yet to contradict." Miss Luranah Aldridge's musical compositions are published by thirteen or fourteen music publishing houses in London. Her vocal and instrumental productions seem to have struck a popular chord, and the output of her facile pen finds a ready sale and a popular reception among the higher class of artists and music lovers in England. If the war is soon brought to an end these two talented women, who have done so much with voice and pen in foreign lands to lift up the race of which their father was a notable and worthy example, may, if sufficient inducement is offered, visit the United States on tour and charm the music loving public with exhibitions of their wonderful art. In another private letter from Miss Luranah she speaks of her sister, Ira, who was visiting friends at Bath, England, and while there was urged and consented to sing at the celebrated Pump Room concert in 1908. One of her pupils, writing to her sister, Luranah, about the concert, said: "My dear Miss Aldridge, I am sure you and your mother would like to know that I have heard from several sources how beautifully your sister sang at the Pump Room. My aunt writes to me that all agree she has a glorious voice! I don't fancy they often hear such singing in Bath, and I can quite understand how much it was appreciated." The achievements of these brilliant and talented women ought to be an inspiration to every colored girl and woman in America who is musically inclined. What the Aldridge sisters have done and are doing they can do. Go to it, young women. The world is yours. Take it. BURLINGTON, IOWA.

Again on next Thursday we are this year called to halt our daily pursuits and go to the churches and public places and there give thanks to Je- hovah for his many blessings that his bounteous hands has given us the past year. To thank God)for health, life and. liberty. When we think of the great. bloodshed, suffering, killing, bleeding and dying in the eastern hemisphere our hearts should bleed in sorrow, for. their. suffering condi- tions and we should thank God that we are not in it. With the high cost of living, with death, and. destruction around us, with wars and rumors of war around us, with democratic hard times, discrimination and segregation for the Negzo we ought to thank our God that we are yet alive and still hopeful. We might say that while we may not eat so many turkeys next ‘Thursday as usual, yet the life of the innocent fowl will be saved and we can give thaaks around our table for the food we have and the blessings we enjoy. i pie SE OUR COLORED ATHLETES HAVE MADE GOOD THIS YEAR. ‘This year the Negro boy who has played on the regular football team in the northern states has won the game or made more points for his team than any other single player.

Within the past ten months there has been a great migration of colored Inborers with their families from the southern states. In fact statistica show that from the state of Georgia ‘and Alabama the exodus of colored ‘people to northern. states has, aver- aged more thai a haggard a day from these two Btates for hte past 100 days: So great is this migration from the southland that the white peo- ple of the south have begun to pass laws preventing the colored people from leaving the south and to prevent any northern agents or any person from soliciting the eolored laborers to leave the southland. ‘The great ques- tion comes to us now, What is the daty of the northern Negro, orthose of us who are up here toward those who have recently come up from the south? First, we ‘should be glad that they have the. courage and en- ergy ° anid common ‘sense enough’ to leave this land of bondage, ‘oppres: sion, slavery, segregation and dis. crimination, ete. Second, we should extend to them the hand of welcome and help secure for them employment and aid them to make good, peaceable, law-abiding citizens. Third, we should give to them an opportunity to make a success in this northland. We would say go to the farms, to the workshops, to the fac- rories and truck gardening, éte. The great northwest can use at least 1,- 000,000. Let us net snub or turn our backs upon them, but open our doors, give them shelter and find work for them. I know some of them will be had, but what of that? Were not ome of us up here already bad. Don’t think of that, but do your duty, follow the golden rule, do ‘unto them 4s we would that they shoald do uito ns, and humanity will praise you and God will bless you. = * The sixteeuth annual State Bar as- sociation of colored lawyers held their annual meeting last Tuesday evening at the home of the president, John-L. Thompson, All. practicing. attorneys of Towa were present éxcept one and three students of law were present, along with the wives of the lawyers. The evening was spent in reviewing the work of the past year and ontlin- ing the work for the coming year. The report showed that the Iowa legisla- ture had introduced more bills hostile to the colored people of Iowa than in ‘any_other period for ten years and yet we succeeded in defeating every ‘one of these nefarious measures. A Hvery sumptuous banquet of five cours- ‘es was served in the beautifully dec- orated dining room. The first colored man to graduate from the State uni. versity and first to ‘be admitted to practice in Iowa was Alex Clark of Oskaloosa.

After confessing to the difficulties of the theme and to-the scarcity of literature bearing thereon he told the story of how the first Negro lodge of Masons was or- ganized in America. He said that in 1775 » Negro named Prince Hall and fourteen associates were initiated in an army eles ee in is ~~ Boston. i Bpv 1 group of men. obtainéd.& watrant from the gratid ledge of Snilatsd“err- powering them to form’ a Masonic Jedee. ‘Owing to delays the warrant fd not reach them until April 29, 1787. On May 6 of that same year the lodge was regularly organized, with Prince Hall as master, for which reason Negro Masonry in this coun- try came to be called Prince Hall Ma- sonry. “This lodge initiated many. mem- bers from various localities who in turn, as was then the custom, organ- ized other lodges. . These lodges after- ward-organized a, grand lodge. From the grand, lodge all subsequent. Negro, lodges: have derived: their, existence: and their legality. “The regularity of Negro Masonry was .not questioned for a hundred years. Today ‘it has turned out that many white Mafons are ques- tioning the legality of ‘Negro Ma-| sonry, but I for my: part believe that the Negro lodges can show as true @ lineage as any white lodges.” Rev. Haywood then raised the ques- tion, “What should be the present ‘at- titude of white lodges toward ther Negro brethren?” and answered it by saying that any individual Mason bad a right to his own opinion on the sub- ject, that the grand lodges of each state hada right to deal with the question as they may see fit, and that while some grand lodges may choose to fraternize with the Negro lodges he believed the time was not ripe for it in most states. “My own feeling is,” he said, “that white men should maintain their own organizations, and black men theirs, all members keeping in recollection the fact that they severally ‘belong. to the same great fraternity The spirit of Masonry is of ample strength to bridge over any: racial. cleavage,'a: thing it ia free to de whether. or not white grand lodges and Negro grand lodges recognize. each other officially or not.” ‘The speaker closed by/ reminding his hearers that-Masonry, neither in its law or in ite purposes, recognizes any social or race difference and that the one cure for any differences or di- visions among Masons “is more’ Ma- ‘eomee SCANDIA; IOWA. i Being absent for some time, this will inform you that we are yet alive. ‘There were excellent services at-the Mt.

The colonists were so pleased to celebrate Thanksgiving in this fashion of feasting, especially after they were compelled to listen to a long sermon, that they began to appoint frequent Thanksgiving days—sometimes for reason of victory over the Indians, then for the arrival of a supply ship or a bountiful harvest, says the Washington Star. Usually the day set occurred in August, especially if it was in thanks for the harvest. Finally, in 1684, Massachusetts declared it to be an annual and legal holiday, and all the New England colonies followed her example. In those days Thanksgiving in its religious character was rather curious. On one side was the minister whose duty seemed to be to predict the most direful things, and his sermons consisted of warning to the people of the awful things to come, while, on the other hand, the people were told to rejoice and give thanks on that day, even though the pit yawned on the day before and the day to come. The whole thing was a paradox, for the wives were compelled to stay home and prepare the dinner, yet they were soundly beaten by the ministers for being absent. Many of the sermons aimed at the preference for the flesh pots over spiritual things, but after the discourse the preacher frequently went to dine with one of his parishioners and enjoyed the dinner prepared by the mistress of the house, whose absence he had commented on in the pulpit an hour before. The sermons seldom touched on fasting, but they included the political topics of the day, whether local, state or national. On one occasion at a Thanksgiving service a Federalist pastor in Connecticut prayed, "And, O Lord, endow President Jefferson with a goodly portion of the grace, for thou, O Lord, knowest that he needs it!" The festal trait of the day at that time seems to have been entirely in the hands of the women of the family, who for days before worked quietly to prepare a feast, and the deep religious gloom which pervaded the household during those years was in a measure lightened by the sunlight of the well cooked Thanksgiving dinner. A well fattened turkey at one end of the table and chicken pie at the other were, the principal articles on the menu of the well to do man's Thanksgiving feast. The middle class had the chicken pie and a small turkey, while the poor feasted on the pie alone. But every table, rich or poor, had a fowl of some kind and usually a pitcher of elder to wash it down. A pie made of pigeons, too, was a favorite Thanksgiving dish. Strangers were made welcome, and not even a tramp was turned away. Unfortunately, this hospitality seems to have been based on a superstitious fear of bad luck rather than a genuine case of charity. Woman Who "Made" Thanksgiving. It was a woman, Mrs. Sarah J. Hale, editor of Godey's Lady's Book and well known as a writer, who championed the cause of a national Thanksgiving. Year after year she patiently fought for a national observance of Thanksgiving day, publishing endless articles on the subject. In various ways she caused an agitation of the subject that finally resulted in 1859 in the governors of most of the states of the Union annually issuing proclamations for Thanksgiving. At her suggestion President Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation for a national Thanksgiving for Aug. 6, 1863, about a month after the battle of Gettysburg. CUTTING UP the PUMPKIN HEALTH HINTS. A. J. Booker, M D. Whatever the occasion of the first Thanksgiving, we all ought to be glad that there is a day set aside for us to give thanks for all the blessings which have come to us. There may be a few in every community who are never glad for anything, but they are the exceptions; the most of us are glad to be living. Unless one is at fault, or some calamity has befallen the m, every year ought to be a happier anything, but they are the exceptions; the most of us are glad to be living. Unless one is at fault, or some calamity has befallen, the m every year ought to be a happier and better year than the one past. Unless this is so there is something wrong with us; it is a case of bad management, inability to get along with people or a persistence in ways which have proven unprofitable. Every man living in the United States ought to be thankful that he has lived here. With all its problems, this is the greatest poor man's country in the world. There are greater and more damnable race prejudices than the ones in this country, there are harder conditions in other countries than two dollar potatoes, even when there is no war. There are opportunities here for all educating one's self; night schools where one may learn everything from A B C to foreign languages. No one needs starve in this great country; no willing worker needs be idle; no man nor woman can die from want of medical attention; he may die from lack of medical knowledge, but not from attention being lacking. The sick and crippled have much to be happy for. Life is sweet to most people and every reasonable thing is done for the unfortunate to make living more tolerable. Sick people ought to be thankful that they are not dead, unless their passports are made out and they are sure of their destination. There was never a time when children had such an opportunity if they are deformed or sick. As a matter of fact the state will intervene if they are not well cared for, and all this without money or price, regardless of religion, race, nationality or sex. If we are worth our salt, all of us have friends, friends who are genuinely interested in our welfare, in our happiness and in our sorrows. All of us have some one to love us for what we are; for what people hope we are or are trying to be. These things are so despite our peculiarities and our selfishness. We all have more people who would help than would hinder us. No matter how it appears, there are more boosters than knockers. This is a great country and a glorious world. Unless you find it so there is something radically wrong with you. The world gives back to us with interest everything we give to it and is always to give you the benefit of the doubt. All of us ought to be glad to live in a time when the world is interested in men. More and more attention is being given to the needs and cry of the ordinary man. And just in proportion as you and your friends respond to this new spirit of helpfulness and constructive effort will the world be better. Sit down and think of the blessing you have enjoyed, of your friends, of your family, and of how God has been good and spared you for some good which prehapes you are slow about going. We all have more to be thankful for than we like to admit. I tis a good world and the spirit of being rich toward God will make it the heaven we pray for. ALBIA NEWS. The A. M.

Under the existing circumstances the ladies did not feel that the girl was altogether to blame, therefore they appeared before the board, with Mrs. Hicks making the plea for a pardon upon the grounds of adequacy of punishment. The result was that her sentence was commuted to one year and six months.
