The Negro From 1619-1919 Were it possible for the grim hand of Fate to draw aside the curtains which conceal the Past behind their heavy folds we should take a peep at a strange drama, staged at Jamestown, Va., in the year 1619. On this crude stage constructed for the purpose, we should behold as the principal characters several Dutch traders disembarking on the coast of a country but scarcely inhabited, except by wild animals and savage Red men, for this country was still in its infancy. The other principal characters are twenty strange-looking specimen of humanity; twenty creatures who could not even boast of a language, ignorant, and minus all the characteristics which go to make up a civilized being; twenty black men, captured on the north coast of Africa, the benighted continent, and brought unwillingly to this country to be sold to the colonists as slaves. As time passed by, the people of the colonies soon began to realize that HON. EMMETT J. Special Assistant to the Whose great address at Tuskegee A nnua and hope will be published in full in our and read it carefully. the Negro slave, was an invaluable asset as a laborer. They found that he became adapted to climatic conditions of the South readily, and moreover, he could perform his duties well. And, so there was an ever-increasing demand for more slaves, more laborers, as the various industries began to thrive and prosper in the South. To meet these enormous demands for slave labor the traders were kept busy plying the waters of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. Thus was the institution of slavery put on a firm basis in this country, fastening itself upon the luxury-loving people of the South; becoming interwoven with every fibre of Southern life. The slaves, bound to their masters for an indefinite length of time, now became the sole tillers of the soil. They were the sole planters and pickers of cotton, the tobacco raisers and the inestimable domestics on every southern plantation. Each year, by their labor they added millions of dollars to the wealth of the South. They became so valuable to their masters that in order to compute the wealth of any individual planter all one had to do was to refer to the number of slaves which the planter had in his possession. Soon, the slaves exceeded the colonists in numbers, and formed the very bone and sinew to the life of the South. It was they who rose early in the morning and retired late at night, tolling in the weltering sun, the rain and foul weather, with the crack of the overseer's whip eternally in their ears. It was they who knew no respite from labor. When they became tired and weary with their lot and seemed to lose interest in their work, they were forced to continue by threats, harsh and bitter commands and most often, by the keen sting of the lash, a punishment which was both painful, torturous and humiliating. Through all this, the Negro gradually groped his way to the light, finding his one and only friend, God. His religion became the sole source of comfort of his wretched life. But for this timely, wholesome influence, history might have been recorded differently. He communed with his Friend night and day. Whether he was engaged in the cane brakes, the cotton fields or the rice fields, or whether he was executing the tasks of his master's household, all the dathos, the longings, the inexpressible yearnings of a burdened ear were poured out, offered up to one whom he was sure heard and sympathised, and would surely in His appointed time TT J. SCOTT the Secretary of War. annual Conference full of inspiration our issue of next week—watch for it bring deliverance. Though at times it must have seemed that such a de Diverance would have to be little short of a miracle, he hoped and believed that it would eventually come when God saw that he had suffered enough And, so out of the passionate longings, out of these bitter expressions comingled with an unshakeable faith was born what modern musicians are pleased to style as the only "original American music." This is indeed, a fitting tribute paid to the Negro, for there was never another race or sect of people on this continent, whose hearts had bled, whose lives had been living sacrifices to others, receiving nothing in return but cruel treatment, bitter words, being driven and herded together like so many animals. Every one is familiar with the facts of how families were torn sunder and sold into distant colonies, and every one knows how those concerned dared not show any outward sign of emotion. To do so, was to call down upon one's self the imprecations of a heartless master, or the punishment of the brutal overseer. Every one who reads, knows of the fact that morals of any sort were almost unknown quantities to Negro life in the South. Honor and chastity had no place. In fact, the whites of the South treated the slaves as though they were so many cattle, failing to establish among them the things which go to make people nobler (Continued on Page 4.)

Bishop Niles of Cincinnati, O., head of the Ancient African Methodist Episcopal Church, escaped the razor of an ante preacher whom he had removed from a charge in Cincinnati, by extraordinary speed. Brother Davis was the name of the preacher who became offended when the Bishop ordered his removal from the church. Davis forthwith flashed a razor and the Bishop "broke out," thus saving his life.

Several years ago a woman appealed to the Chicago Defender for assistance, charging that one A. C. Mayo (white), alias Judge Mayo, of Gary, Ind., had fleeced her of her life's savings to the amount of more than $500. The Defender's attorneys, Ellis & Westbrooks, immediately investigated the matter and as a result Mayo was indicted in the Criminal court of Cook county, sued for the return of the money. After a complete explana- tion and return of money prosecution for the crime was suspended. This time, according to complaint filed in the Municipal court of Chicago, Mayo is charged with obtaining by the confidence game $2,340 from Edward Kennedy and his wife, 4528 St. Lawrence Avenue. Mayo was arrested Saturday night, and extradition papers have been forwarded to bring him back to Chicago to answer this offense.—Chicago Defender.

Tuskegee, Ala.—Bravely denouncing not only the action of the mob which lynch-murdered an Afro-American at Sheffield, Ala., recently, but naming some of the participants and demanding that they be brought to justice young Booker T. Washington was compelled to flee the South, about two weeks ago. Taking his wife and children, he made his way, with the aid of white friends, through several states into Ohio. After several days of quiet there, against the advice of friends he made his way back here to his own home. But no sooner had he arrived than he was waited upon by friendly whites, who warned him of the conspiracy and plots to wreak vengeance upon him for his stand against the Sheffield murderers. Under the cover of darkness, again young Booker made his way to a distant point and entrained for St. Louis, where he now is with his wife and two young children. This, too, should be cabled to President Wilson, Principal Moton and the World's Peace Conference. Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer "Darkest A Sergt. Burrell H.

Leutenant Brooks of Camp Funston, Kansas, visited our chapel and spoke instructively to the students. Sergt. Harold Bentley, who has been in training at Camp Pike for the past six months, has returned and registered as a student. One of the interesting features of our chapel exercises Monday morning was a talk by Prof. Clark, formerly commandant here, recently returned from France on the work of the "Y" in France. He displayed a number of souvcnirs taken from the battle fields and spoke in glowing terms of the val PRICE, 5c. week KANSAS DEFENSE FUND. Efforts being put forth by the Kansas Defense Society to secure the release of teh imprisoned soldiers of the Twenty-fourth Infantry who were alleged to have participated in the Houston riot or to secure for them a new trial should meet the approval of every fair minded Negro man and woman in this city, and there should be no hesitancy on their part in contributing as generously as they can to this worthy cause. The Sun announced several weeks ago that it would accept contributions to a fund to be used for this purpose but as yet there has been few responses. The Sun hopes the Colored people of this vicinity will wake up to the importance as well as the justice of the contention of these imprisoned soldiers and help pay the fees and court costs of those splendid Negro lawyers who are carrying this case to the court of last resort.

LET US REJOICE This month our people in the cities and towns throughout America are celebrating the anniversary of the landing of the first cargo of Negroes 300 years ago January 16th. No self is aims and ends; no cross purposes; no divine influence att work; no loosening the bonds of brotherly love, but a united, consecrated host working and rejoicing together must characterize these celebrations. Now, as never before, we realize the truism that there is strength in unity. Away down beneath the surface of things this unity exists among the Negroes, in spite of superficial indications to the contrary. Let the record of three centuries of the Negro's achievement cause us to resolve to make the ideal of what we shall be a reality. Those who serve other ends serve a losing cause. No other race in America has had such extremes of racial exaltation and depression. No other race in America has produced so many men who have been literally seers—men gifted with vision to arouse, to inspire, to lead—astronomers, statesmen, lawyers, doctors, editors, ministers, teachers, poets, musicians, inventors, builders. Where is he who has been afraid or ashamed to stand up and be counted with the American Negro? Of a certainty we differe from other races, but "under the skin we are pretty much alike." The American, Frenchman, Belgian or Englishman is just as likely to have an hour of sorrow and heartache as the African, China man or Indian. The banker is subject to the same emotions concerning hunger, shame, love, patriotism, mice and snakes as a painter. This roundabout road leads to the conclusion that the Negro has had sufficient trials and rejoicing to show the stuff he is made of; and as he was on the watch when the opportunity for his independence passed, he jumped astride and has been as truly a citizen and a martial hero as any of the worthies whose memories are bay-leaved in history. Of course, from 1619 to 1919 he did not have the chance to pose before a motion picture camera. But that is not the point; as he helped in a large measure to make America and American history, he can well let others do the strutting; for they must do it, under his name. Rejoice, and again I say, rejoice! PART OF 92ND DIVISION WILL ARRIVE MONDAY. New York, N.

C. L. OF A. In a meeting held at Allen Chapel, Monday, January 20, 1919, a number of the leading ministers of Kansas City unanimously endorsed the National Negro Constitutional Conservation League of America, its object and purpose, and also promised the League their undivided support. The League was organized December 1, 1918. It is to be national in its scope, with headquarters located at 1315 East 18th Street, Kansas City, Missouri. It is organizing Locals throughout the United States and has already a membership of several hundred persons. The object and purpose of the League is to see that the blood of our brave and noble soldiers who fought for world Democracy shall not have been shed in vain, by waging an unending and ceaseless fight, using every honorable means to wipe out and eliminate discrimination and prejudice, Jim Crowism and disfranchisement, mob violence and injustice from the United States of America FOREVER. As its first movement, it is circulating a mammoth petition and it hopes to have attached thereto in the next few months the signatures of over a million persons, asking the United States Government to enforce by ap propriate legislation the 14th and 15th Amendments of the Constitution. Every true and race loving Negro in this country should see to it that they get an opportunity to place their names on this great and worthy document. THE MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN. The League is planning to launch beginning January 29, in Convention Hall, at the 300th Anniversary celebration of the Negro, its Kansas City Campaign for memberships, which is to last twenty-one days. At this entainment the League will have a booth appropriately decorated, and plenty of its literature and speakers on hand. It is organizing a force of workers and they shall go among the people in Convention Hall during the day and night festivities and solicit memberships for this much needed cause. It is hoped that every Negro in Kansas City will become a member of this League. If there are any ladies who are not already listed as workers for the Convention Hall Campaign, January 29th, and desire to assist in this great racial cause, they will please report or get in touch with general head quarters, 1315 East 18th Street; Bell Grand 317; Home, Main 3963.

So one could scarcely hope to find such rare things as more als among people who were taught that they were but little better than animals. Thus the slave cared nothing except to minister to the wants of his master; he knew of little except to toil and work that his master might be come more rich and more powerful Books had no place in his daily life, for they might help him become more enlightened, and eventually to become discontent with his lot. It was a crime on many plantations to attend church. In short, the South was determined to hold the Negro securely down in the place which circumstances had as signed him with an iron hand. And the Negro could not very well escape except at great risk of being tracked and hunted down by merciless blood hounds, kept on every southern plantation. If he were caught, he would be more cruelly treated than ever, or he might be put to death, for the mas ter possessed absolute power over his slaves. It was plain that Justice, so far as the slave was concerned, was slumbering, and she continued to slumber for nearly two hundred fifty years before she took any stand with regard to the slave question whatever. In 1857, however, came the one, and only thrust from her sword which had been sheathed so long. Dred Scott, a slave, had been carried into free territory by his master where he had remained for several years, at the end of which time his master carried him back to a slave-holding state. He, through the influence of some of his friends made while in the North, took his case to court, suing his master for his freedom. The matter was eventually carried before the supreme court of the country where it was ruled that a slave, born of slave parents, was to be considered as the personal property of his master, and as such, could be carried into any state or to any place where the master saw fit to go; and that since a slave was regarded as so much personal property, he could not sue in the courts of the United States. This decision of the highest court in the land seemed to have strugged the doom of all Negroes who had a ray of hope for the future left within their breasts. For, now, men who were wont to consider affairs of state and of others with great gravity, men whose office has always been considered as symbolizing the defense and protection of all that is held most sacred to mankind, went so far as to openly avow that the millions of men and women bound in misery in the South were to be regarded as so many horses or cattle. In other words, they did not possess hearts that trobbed with anguish and sufferings; in other words, the blood that ran through their veins was not as sanguine as that which coursed through the veins of the most thoroughbred gentleman of the North or South. Tese men turned a deaf ear to te millions who were oppressed, and trampled all that is most sacred to man, whether bond or free, under their unallowed feet. And they, by their decision, established a new era in the history of master and slave. Justice might have spared the slave this cruel blow. When God in His all-wise providence saw that the slaves had borne enough, when He saw that the refining process, through which he was putting a people peculiarly His own, was well under way, He brought forth Abraham Lincoln as His special instrument (1861-1865) to aid the Negro throw off his heavy yoke. And Lincoln, and his name should call forth the sincere reverence of every Negro, backed up by loyal Negroes of the North and South, combined with aid from those in the North who felt that the institution was radically wrong, struck the blow which culminated in the second birth of four millions of Negroes. Thus in the year 1865 four millions of ignorant, illiterate men and women were placed on their own resources. Indeed, the outlook was anything but encouraging. But, had not God brought them through what seemed almost insurmountable difficulties Had He not heard their cries in the darkest hours of despair? Surely, the future could not be more black than the hideous past. Timely assistance came from friends of the North of both races, for some of the Negroes had managed to escape through the Underground Railway and had managed to learn much about the vital things of life. So, they, together, set themselves to work to prepare the ex-slave to take his place in the social and industrial life of this country in a new role—a free man. Time and space will not permit me go into details of the horrors of Reconstruction, the terrors of "The Night Riders," the "Klu Klux" and what not, invented to prevent the Negro from coming into his heritage, for because of their great numbers, the South soon began to fear their political power. No nation has ever had such stupendous problem to solve since nor before the advent of the Negro into this country. But, now, before we have reached the age of sixty years, the dark, bloody past seems but like a terrible dream, a hideous nightmare. Every old problem has been laid on the table, and today, the Negro is grappling with affairs of state, he is solving questions of ignorance, crime and illiteracy, he is supporting large charitable institutions, colleges and schools where his own are being cared for, he, in fact, is so busy with present-day problems that he scarcely has time to give the dark past more than a passing thought. Before he has celebrated his sixtieth anniversary, some may call it his three hundredth, if they wish; he has entered every profession in this country; he has at some time during his career, been engaged in every trade and business of which this nation boasts, and moreover, he has presented to the world such men as H. O. Taner, the artist of international fame; Samuel Coleridge Taylor, noted throughout this and other countries for his wonderful contributions to music. Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the Negro poet, has created a profound impression on the literary world of the Negro as a writer of poetry. Kelly Miller occupies a position second to none in the fields of the exact sciences. Then there is Dp Bois, the learned writer and editor. Our Roscoe Conkling Simmons is now holding spellbound audiences of both races throughout this country with his dramatic art in oratory. We can boast of having presented the world with such characters as Mrs. Mary Church-Terrel, the noted lecturer and social worker, also the late Booker T. Washington, who dedicated his entire life to the work of uplifting his fellow men. Too, there are countless numbers of other men and women ain oqm aueq uopps om noqu moing their best very day in the year to help bring this race to a place where it will be respected and honored by all. Today, the Negro holds a position second to no other. The Anglo-American looks on him with a feeling of great envy and fear, for he well knows that the Negro still has his future before him. The American fears that with the passing of another three hundred years the Negro will be in the ascendancy, while the former, will be on the decline. No other people are of greater concern to the American today than the Negro. He fears the Negro's ambition. He fears his integrity, he fears his tenacity, he fears his extraordinary power of endurance, characteristics which go to make any people great. The Italian, on coming to this country, seldom gives the white American much alarm, for he is sure that about all the Italian wants is to establish a shine parlor or a fruit stand, or engage in vending some commodity in a push cart. He does not fear the Chinaman, for he is confident that all that the Chinaman wants is to open a laundry, a restaurant or an opium den, never seeking a voice in the affairs of the government. He does not fear the Japanese immigrant, for he has heard that all the Japanese wishes is to land in this country, engage in some sort of trade long enough to get rich, and then to return to his native country to become the envy of all his friends and associates. But, it is because the white American knows that the Negro is seeking after the very things which he himself prizes, such as honor, power, wealth, glory, all of which he gave 250 years of hard labor to secure; it is because the Negro manifests a greater determination to possess these things each passing year, even if he must wrest them from the hand that so zealously withholds them; it is because of these titlings that the policy of the white American is to keep the Negro down, if possible. But, history proves that a God-fearing people cannot be kept down. And, so, today, unlike the Red Man who refused to submit to the yoke, and who is now about to become a nation of the past, going out without having achieved but little fame and glory and without having made any great bequest to civilization, we stand on the very threshold of a great future, better and nobler, more perfect as a race, more fit than ever to be the recipients of great blessings that will more than crown our past sufferings, and sorrows. And, so, after 300 years in a country that has vainly endeavored to shift its responsibility toward us as one of them, we stand as empty pitchers before the sparkling fountain of civilization, ready and waiting to be filled.

DOES IT HURT TO BE DYNAMITED? Recent Experiences Indicate That This Danger. For as much as ten years the Negroes of Kansas City have endeavored to persuade the local police authorities that the favorite pastime enjoyed by the "Rednecks" in blowing up the homes of progressive Colored Folk is not only fundamentally wrong, but that the sport is really dangerous. During this time at almost regular intervals this sport has been indulged in especially upon such aspiring black citizens as dared to move from the hollows to the hilltops for the purposes of securing better living conditions and more sanitary surroundings. Homes have been wrecked, women terrorized and children maimed for life by these Hunnish atrocities which have received only casual attention from the press, the police and the so-called fair-minded citizens. Indeed, one newspaper during the high carnival of terrorism perpetrated upon the Montgall section a few years ago actually encouraged the practice in a set editorial and intimated that this was the only way by which Negro residents could be taught to stay away from decent home sections of the city. It was a perfectly legitimate sport even in the eyes of a rock-ribbed Republican newspaper. The dynamiting of homes has gone on and has apparently become a fixed institution among us. Whenever a home is blown up the police call around, looked puzzled, ask a great many questions and stand upon the corners for a day or so in full uniform to see if the sportive miscreant will come back and give himself up. Then the "chase" is abandoned and all is lovely except for the poor, distressed home owner who must either move back to the hollows or repair his shattered domicile and await the next funing. But now a new opinion has been awakened upon this form of social recreation and it has been brought about through the deadly attacks which have been made by the bomb throwers upon the street cars filled with white people. It has been discovered that the sport is really pernicious and it ought to be curbed. In fact, the abhorrence of the thing has become so great that even the federal government has been interceded against it. The shoe hurts the other foot. It makes all the difference in the world. Horror takes the place of the concealed smile and the insulted majesty of the law is loudly crying out for vindication. The Sun says: "Let the awakened conscience be commended even though it has slept long overtime. Let this heinous crime be ferreted out and avenged now that it has been found to be a crime." Street car dynamiting is simply the advanced chapter of the home dynamiting which has been practiced with impunity and by tacit approval for a decade and if it was a sport in its incipiency it has finally been shown up in its really dangerous phases as such. WHITNEY & TUTT'S "SMARTER SET." Among its attractions coming to this city is "The Smarter Set," better known as "The Smart Set," America's foremost organization comprised exclusively of colored talent, and comes to the Auditorium all next week with matinee Sunday, Wednesday and Saturday, presenting a new musical comedy entitled "Darkest American's" in two acts and ten scenes which tell of Dean Kelly Miller of the Howard University at Washington, D. C., going on a tour of archaeological research in the interest of his college. Abe and Gabe Washington enter Howard under false pretenses. Dean Miller is lost. Abe and Gabe are commissioned to search for the missing. Dean. This search carries them to all parts of the globe and they are the participants in many exciting and ludicrous adventures. The Dean is found; and all return home and everything ends happily. "Darkest American's" is rich in clever lines and amusing situations. Salem Tutt Whitney, who is one of the cleverest comedians, is seen in the principal comedy role, while J. Homer Tutt in a light comedy part, and is a conspicuous factor in the success of the entertainment. In the musical program are to be found twenty-three numbers written especially for this production.

There are many dancing numbers seen, in which the performers are seen in their element and a splendid chorus is heard to advantage. There is a well contrived plot unlike many musical comedies, as the story is kept well in the foreground, while amusing complications develop rapidly and according to the newspaper criticisms the fun is continuous. * **ATTENTION!** * The Kansas City, Sun and leading papers from fourteen states at LOUIS WIMBERLY'S NEWS STAND. 2946 State Street, Chicago, III.

These regiments must be reconstituted, recruited to necessary strength and again presented to the federal government for recognition before they can take a place in the federalized National Guard. ‘Mr. Baker said he believed that state’ authorities generally would not attempt to reconstitute any of the old regiments of National Guard until after the divisions into which they had been merged return from France. It would seem desirable, he thought, that men to be discharged from those divi- sions be given a chance to re-enlist in the guard. This would enable, he said, ‘the reconstituted regiments to be in fact as well as in name a continuation of the old organizations, with every right to carry the names of the historic battles in France—of Chateau Thierry, the second Marne, the Ourcq, the Vesle, St. Mihiel, Argonne forest, Sedan, Cote Chatillon and other places the divisions made famous—on their banners. ' z é : Permanent Christmas Trees and Memorial Planting Aaa is issued by the American Forestry association to every community in the United States to take steps to make its community Christmas tree permanent. The association hopes to see the community tree, in many places, ‘great waste every year caused by cutting another tree, In nearly every com- munity there will be found’an ideal spot for public gatherings. There should be the living, growing tree that would come to be the gathering point not only at Christmas, but at other times. Such a tree might become, in many places, the center of a scheme for planting memorial trees in honor of our sailors and soldiers. Let us look ahead to next year by having your committee con- sult the city or state forester in regard to planting a permanent community Christmas tree.” ir ‘The nation-wide movement to plant memorial trees is widening in scope. Among the many indorsements are these: T. Gilbert Pearson, National Association of Audubon Societies—The planting of trees means more to bird life than can be estimated. The Audu- bon societies most heartily indorse the plan for memorial trees. Mrs. Ida Evans Arnold, General Federation of Women's Clubs, Chicago— In the planting of the Lincoln highway we are preserving the native flora of our country for those to enjoy who come after us; we are assisting in the building of a permanent monument to those who lost their lives in the war; we hope to establish a bird-feeding zone and sanctuary from coast to coast.

There was fn immediate reaction in the matter of dress, from the economizing that the war inspired, from the rather se- date colors and plain styles—from do- ing without—to just the other things. Dressmakers are overwhelmed with work and all women with one accord want some new and pretty clothes. This 1s the most natural feeling in the world since clothes are our uni- versal means of expression and we must dress up to the Joyousness of having our victorious soldiers home again. Wraps and coats of cloth or fur, or both combined, have been made in a great variety of styles this season. Originality in design has been a fea- ture of the styles so that a new. comer among them must be of su: perlor quality and very unusual de. sign to meet the high standards al- ready set.

From supplies stored in France have been diverted many things urgently needed by the Red Cross commissions for the Balkans, Serbia and Greece, Relief work by Americans in those countries continued to be vital after the armistice.

J—Why did Prince and Princess Joachim Murat turn over their magnificent mansion in Paris to President and Mrs. Wilson? Because he is a Murat and she {s a Bonaparte. Both the Murats and the Napoleon Lucien Charles (1803-1878), the second son, came to America in 1825 and joined at Bordentown his uncle, Joseph Bonaparte, Napoleon's favorite brother, who was king of Naples and king of Spain, and came here after Waterloo, establishing a magnificent estat. of 2,000 acres, where he lived as count of Survilliers, with his two daughters. The American Bona- partes are descended from Jerome, the youngest brother of Napoleon, who married Elizabeth Patterson in Baltimore. Napoleon Lucien Charles established himself In the “Versailles of Amer- fea,” near his uncle. He laid siege to the heart of Miss Caroline Fraser, daughter of. Major Fraser of Linden Hall. The prince's relatives did not approve, so the young couple eloped. Joseph Bonaparte cut off his nephew's allowance. The prince ran through two fortunes in farming and real estate experiments, and his wife opened a fashionable boarding school for girls in Linden Hall. The present Prince Murat Is the son the late Prince Joachim, who was born in Bordentown in 1834, the son of Napoleon Lucien Charles and his beautiful American wife. : ‘ ae “If Wishes Were Horses, All Beggars Might Ride Ls MASS.—Free trolley rides for all under a form of public ownership of public utilities is proposed by ex-Mayor Ralph 8.

Mrs, Faubel felt perfectly safe. And then Ruth and Charley just up and got themselves married! Quite simply, too. They got their Hcense at the county building. But they dodged the judges, Instead, the couple went to a mipister in the neighborhood of Ruth's home at 4715 North Washtenaw avenue, and there the knot was tied. Ruth returned home and was unsuspected. Mrs, Faubel, inspecting a hotel register, found “Mr. and Mrs. Charles C. Marrow." She rushed up to the room. Neither Charley nor Ruth was there—but a marriage certificate was in plain sight, Mrs, Faubel was peeved. She phoned the lieutenant at her station and told him she couldn't work—her daughter had eloped. “Are they married?” the lieutenant asked. “Yes,” said Mrs. Faubel. “But I'm going to wait right here till they come back, I'm going to arrest him and send him back to his station.” ‘The fife of the policewoman cooled after a time, and then Mrs. Faubel was again just the mother.

In the latter part of 1861 Anderson ran away and joined the Union army. He fought throughout the Civil war and served in the regulats some time after it. Leaving the army in 1872, Anderson came to Bozeman, In 1874 he led a party of gold miners to a strike reported on Porcupine creek, Just below the Rosebud. Frank Grounds of Bozeman was captain of the ex pedition and Anderson was guide, While trekking past the site of what later witnessed the battle of Yel- lowstone, where General Custer met his death, the gold hunters were attacked by a large band of Sioux. The Indians numbered several hundred, the white men only a score. Little Sitting Bull, son of the chief, who was even then famous, was leading the redskins and made himself unduly con- splcuous, At a critical moment Anderson ran upon the red chief with his pistol and shot him dead. The Indians retreated. The son's fall, it is sald, confirmed Sitting Bull's determination to try to wipe out the whites and led to the Indian war that followed. Anderson returned to Bozeman, where he prospered during many years He and his wife, who still lives, own a cozy cottage on the outskirts. But increasing age largely made it difficult for him to earn # living and he has gone to the home. - ‘Anderson was a slave of a German in Oklahoma and the tales he tells of the inhuman cruelties the brute inflicted on his helpless victlms would rank, for sheer horror, with accounts of anything done in Belgium and France ea ee oe ae et ak ee en er a reat at aeae which afforded their ancestors an asy- lum a century ago—and thereby hangs a romance. ‘The first Murat (1767-1815) was one of Napoleon’s marshals, and Na- poleon gave him his sister Caroline in marriage and made him king of Na- ples in 1808.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL (By REV, P. B, FITZWATER, D. D., Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright. 1918, Western Newspaper Union) — ee LESSON FOR JANUARY 26 ISRAEL CROSSING THE RED SEA, LESSON TEXT—Exodus 1:12.16, GOLDEN TEXT—Thus the Lord saved the Israelites that day out of the hands of the Egyptians, Exodus 14:30. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL—Deuteron- omy 4:22-40; Psalms 78:1-14; 106:7-12; He- brows 11:28. ‘The tenth stroke from the strong hand of the Almighty made Pharaoh willing to let Israel go. The tenth turn of the screw of omnipotence brought him to time. ‘The Israelites go out on thelr way to the promised innd with a high hand. ‘Through the land of the Philistines the Journey would have, been comparatively short ; but God com- manded them to turn from that way lest. going through the land of the Philistines they see war and desire to turn back to Egypt. The Lord had re- spect for thelr needs “He knoweth our frame, he remembreth that we are dust.” (Psalms 103:14). He suits our trials to our ability to meet them, ‘The Lord went before them in @ pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. He not only thus indi- cated unto them the right path, but walked with them in It, God does not ‘deliver and then leave us alone, but becomes our companion. At the Lord's Airection they turned from thelr first course and were made to face a seem- Ing difficulty. ‘The Red sea was before them, and mountains on either side. ‘The stricken Egyptians had recovered from their sorrow and now saw the Israelites in a situation from which they could not extricate themselves. They interpreted this to mean that Moses was unable to lead them out of their difficulty; therefore, they went in pursuit, hoping yet to prevent them from golng out of the country. 1. The Miraculous Escape of the Neraelites (14:13-22). ‘They were in a straitened condition but had no reason to fear, for the Lord had led them there. It is safe to be where the Lord leads, though every avenue is closed against us. There seems to be a two-fold object in leading them into this peculiar place: to strevgthen the faith of the people and to lay a snare for the overthrow of the Egyptians. The people, as usual, displayed their unbelief and even cen- sured Moses for leading them out of Egypt. Moses replied to thelr mur- murs by saying, “Fear ye not, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.” Standing still in such a triat is faith taking hold on God's prom- ises. This is hard for the natura man to do. Before the salvation of the Lord can ever be seen of experi- enced we must come thus to him, While reposing our confidence In the Lord, there comes a time when we must make our faith active, God said, “Wherefore criest thou unto me? Speak unto the children of Israel that they go forward.” Having had his definite promise, to have prayed long- er would have been unbelief, The thing to be done then was to step out upon his eternal promise, ‘The lifting up of the rod simply served as some- thing tangible upon which their faith could act. They were to go forward a step at a time, without raising any question as to tue outcome; for from the same source from which came the command, came the power to obey. ‘The presence of the Lord was adapted to their needs as they went forward. As they went forward the very thing which seemed their destruction be- came a wall of protection on elther, side. Il, The Overthrow of the Egyptians (23:27). Having seen the Israelites go across dry-shod, Pharaoh and his hosts mad- ly pursued them. They insanely thought that they in thelr unbellet could follow in the wake of God's chil- dren, The very things which are a wall and defense to the faithful be- come a snare and a means of destruc- tion to the enemies of God's peopla ‘The Lord looked forth from the cloud and wrought confusion among the? Egyptians, There is a day coming when a look from the Almighty will cause much greater consternation among the wicked (Revelation 6:16, 17; 20:11-18), He not only looked upon them but took off their chariot wheels, which caused them to realize that God was fighting against them, He then directed Moses to stretch forth his rod and bring destruction upon the Egyptians. So complete was the overthrow that It is said that not fone escaped, 11.

ALLEN CHAPEL "How to Think About God" was the subject of the masterly sermon delivered by Dr. Thomas Sunday morning to the large congregation assembled in Allen Chapel. Distinguished visitors worshiped with us in the persons of Madamoiselle Bertillon of Paris, France, and the Hon. C. M. White, Supreme Commander and founder of the American Woodmen. Mille Bertillon, who is studying international law in our country, was very desirous of attending a Negro church while in the city. Dr. William J. Thompkins, a member of Allen Chapel, brought her to the morning service and in introducing her to the congregation told of the Negro's life from their first arrival in 1619 up to the present time. Mille Bertillon is but three months from France and is the niece of the famous Bertillon who introduced the system of identification of criminals by finger prints. The eloquence and sincerity of her remarks appealed to the hearts of all. She knows the horrors of war, the slime and stench of the trenches, the sight of wounded and dying soldiers and the atrocities perpetrated by the Hun. But she had not known of the valor of the dark soldier, that underneath his dark skin beat as true and loyal a heart as God had ever given to man. But she knows that now and she in behalf of her native land expressed the love and the high esteem in which the Negro soldier of America is held. She had known of his ancestors through having read Uncle Tom's Cabin, had loved them then for what they had suffered "Over There" they have learned to love the black boy.
