May Include Wilberforce In Foot-Ball Triangle Next Year. NEW YORK, Dec. 22-According to Fred Wells, representing the Wilberforce Alumni Association in this city, the Alumni of Howard and of Lincoln Universities are trying to arrange a triangle of Athletics for the three schools and that the suggestion comes first from Howard University. William G. Nunn, City Editor of the Pittsburgh Courier, has contended for a number of years that such an arrangement could be made one of the biggest events among our people. He thinks that proper publicity in this respect in view, of the large number of alumni from the three largest race institutions would help to make these contests the largest social as well as athletic events of the season. Not only should football be the feature, but basket-ball, and other athletic sports. These leading institutions have the material union which to draw to put into the field teams of first-class caliber. Negro sport editors in the various sections of the country have often wondered why Wilberforet University, being the oldest Negro school in the country, had not only established herself nationally in athletics well as in scholastic attainments. The athletic endtavors for the past two years has brought this school into public notice and she now has a chance to be seen by the public generally in a new light. On Tuesday afternoon, the G. L. A. Club held their meeting at the home of Mrs. J. E. Lewis. Christmas Quotations were given. Toussaint L'Ouverture, a paper by Mrs. E. Reed.

Dr. Herring arose amid applauses; Text; "God has made of one blood all nations to dwell upon the face of the earth." 1st, a nation or race cannot live to itself.—A false idea. 2nd, That war and force cannot settle anything. Primitive day each man went out or ruled the world to suit himself. Then the Jones family against the Smith family; one dav Smith came, over cleaned up Jones, then Jones went over and formed an alliance to protect each other on a large measure. The best of every denomination must get together, and crush the evil of the world. America must stand together and we are both Americans. Our race has produced great leadership, beautiful songs and poetry. The greatest force in the city is the church, and should be better understood.

Response by Rev. J. W. Haven who endorsed his address, who held on the idea of Christ. Rev. E. T Fishback referred to the church as the greatest force, next the school, then this intelligent citizenship. Prof. Fulbright of Oklahoma, was introduced. He spoke very pointively. Rev. B. C.

That folks rise to their boiling point more quickly when their personal rights are at stake than when a principal is involved? Shouldn't we all look first for the principal involved, and then leap into the air with piercing cry? That a certain petagouguess while vigorously demonstrating the folk-dancing the other day kicked off her heel? The "kids" say she is some "kicker." That a certain individual while commenting on The Star said that it was really interesting last week?

"The Prayers of Christ" (continued) The pastor, Rev. Cartwright began this sermon by saying, "We should remember in all our prayers, God's Glory. We should so live that we may at death, say, with Jesus, 'I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.'" This sermon showed 1st, that it was the Christian's duty to pray for others. This is shown in John 17. where Christ prayed to His Father to glorify Him, to preserve His apostles and all other believers. 2nd, The duty of intercessory prayer, Luke 22:32—"But I have prayed for thees that thy faith fail not; and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brother." Brothers and sisters, great is the danger of pride, self-confidence and unwatchfulness; or of rashly entering into temptation and then of Jesus interceding to preserve His people's faith when it is sorely shaken. And if we experience his influences, we should improve them, for the warning and strengthening of our fellow Christians. Sunday, Dec. 17th, Bible School opened at 9:30 a.m., conducted by Prof. W. E.

Falls of this city have rented out their home and gone to K. C. to make that their hom for a while. Mrs. Ida Kirtley, who was ill at her home for a short period with Pneumonia, passed away after having been moved to the hospital on Monday, Dec. 18th. To have visited the W. H. and F. M. Bazaar at 2nd Baptist Church would have been to any one just like entering a dry-goods store in a downtown district. Things they had for sale, were too nice and too numerous not to mention them. To accumulate all that was for sale, undoubted ly showed untiring laborious efforts on the part of a committee, to put forth God's cause. The Cavalry of Ft. Riley, most of which have recently been brought there from the Phillipine Islands, were given an entertainment by the Oasis Shriner Club of this city Friday night, Dec. 15th, at the Community House. This was done in order that the Cavalry men might get acquainted with the citizens here. The number on the sick list has been increased by the illness of Mrs. Dade on West 13th Street who is reported confined to her home. The usual services were held at 2nd Baptist Church on Sunday, Dec. 10th, Rev. Raimey, pastor delivering both morning and evening sermons. Although Rev. Raimey is ailing with a severe cold which he contracted while in western Kansas on business some time ago, he delivered one of his best sermons on Sunday night. His text was taken from Heb. 12:1, subject, "Christian Race." This was indeed a stirring sermon; the pastor bringing out what a ridiculous shame it is for us to try to run the 'Christian's Race' and run with the world at the same time. I wish to say that I have for two years heard the pastor deliver just such messages as this sermon, trying to arouse the conscience of Christians to their wrongdoing; and I think he delivered these same kind of messages for several years before, I heard them, and yet there are some of us who sit and listen to these messages for 10, 20 and 30 years and our conscience is never toucher or aroused. Dear Christian readers, it is indeed a pitiful plight of affairs, it is indeed time for us to hide our faces in shame; it is indeed time for those with real religion in their hearts to go down in prayer, and pray incessantly, when that stage is reached when it is just as hard to get a Christian to do right as it is to get a sinner to do right. That time is now at hand and what a shameful pity. Dr. Watts says in one of his songs, "Did Christ o'er sinners weep?" but undoubtedly He weeps over the actions of some of us professing Christians. Who is it Christian friends, let t be mother, father, sister or brother who would not weep from a sad and broken heart, if one of our families committed a hideous crime contrary to our wishes? Then why don't we, if we belong to His family, have mercy on Jesus Christ, and not crush His heart by committing hideous crimes or gogoing contrary to His wishes? We trespass against Him, we go contrary to His will, disregarding or having no mercy on Christ and then get down and pray and ask Him to have mercy on us. It is not fare to our Lord and Saviour. Now, as the time is fairly approaching (Xmas) when we shall celebrate the birthday of our Lord and Saviour, let us, more intelligently think for what this babe was born, for what He lived, and for what He suffered, bled and died on the cross. Let us more intelligently think that after we have taken Him on in baptism, that we are supposed to be, just as nearly as possible, like Him. And let us more intelligently, think how we abuse and crush our Savior's heart, when we treavass against Him. heart when we have celebrated His birth (Xmas) let us, more intelligently resolve for the next year and more intelligently stick to our resolutions. ST. JOHN BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES. Pastor Williams returned from the National Baptist Convention, fired with new zeal and enthusiasm, and preached a spiritual and inspiring sermon, Sunday morning, taking for his text, "A walk With Christ Thro' Samaria" St. John 4th chapter and 6th verse. He told of Christ's interest in the wicked, how humble He was in seeking the lost and lowly. "No leader nor great man has so humbled himself as Christ did for us. It is the duty of every Christian to have the interest of his fallen brothers at heart. Christ's conversation with the woman at the well and the wonderful change that was wrought in her by just conversing with Him." The Holy Spirit was very prevalent in the services. Good attendance. The evening services were spent in listening to a very splendid report by the pastor from the National Convention. After heartily thanking the church for their gift of $100.00 (One Hundred Dollars) for his expenses to the Convention, the Annual Address of the Late Dr. E. C. Morris, was then read, which was indeed a master-piece. The pastor then made a few remarks, touching on the race question; he stated that the salvation of our race depended on these three rules:—First, "Recognition for God," Second, "More Respect for One Another," Third, "Earnest effort on Our Part to Do Right."

TNWHE CHRISTIAN WOMEN | I the race are its savation, and without ther efforts In behalf of a spirited activity of all Christian forc- es to tae end that luygner Bulvswwd tor the Negro Ghia with tne tun opportunity 1Q4 4& fair acal in tae increasing social trenus, tue race wil be lost. ‘she womanhood of the rae ap expresved through ns various channels somewhat remote, perhaps, tv the ordinary, ¢oclesiasticul pros gran: of this age, 1s yet an indiect factor for illumination of ignorance, lack of community Interest, and civic righteousness, defects in the ranks of the race, which must be eradicated before the full flower of tht race can blossum out and aston- ish the world by its fragrance. The great challenge of the ages, to such forces is to work in harmony with the CHRISTIAN CHURCH, conscious of the fact that without the force of their Intelligent appreciation of things needful and modernized spirit of progressive ambition to accom. phish things worth-while fot the race, and community in which they hve, much will be lost for the entire race of men. On the other hand the chal- lenge of the ages and of the masses to the Christian Church is that it enters into a larger community pro- gram and provide sufficient ficlds of labor in civic, social and religious goles for those who within their hearts long to work and sacrifice for humanity, The day of the small vis- fon church which regards sinful man only from a direct spiritual noint of view is passing rapidly, and the de- mand in for the church thet will min. istae to the mental, phyrical and spir. {tual man providing work for those vho understand the essentialtles of “tha Inner enirit of the Christ Misston and by right of Intellertuality, De. termination to battle for God and yen, and Chrietian Character are fitted to enter the work blessed with the inspiration of a vision of th glory of working for God in accord wath a higher progressive, program of the Church. &°. TO CHURCH SUNDAY, it fs CHRISTMAS DAY, Think of the glory of the Day a Savior born unto you. A blessing awaits you just within the portal of some Tab- ernacte such as that where your saint. ed mother in years long since passed carried you on Christmas Eve to hear the Old, Old Story of Santa Claus, Go to Church Sunday and catch the inspiration of the Christ Birth, the ‘Old story of world love, self-sacrifice, and God's gift of love direct to you. The present awaits you, will you ac- rept. a JT IS BETTER TO WAIT before Lopinions are expressed; It fs bet- ter to lose in silence, rather than ar- rest success by vain words; It is bet- ter to act the role of student rather than instructor until called upon to play the part you are fitted to pat- form as instructor; It {s better to be led by the power of prayer and council with God rather than be in- fluenced by men unacquainted with the perplexing problems awaiting your solution; It is better to stoop, a victim today rather than go down with your designs unaccomplished to- morrow; It is better to pralse the other fellow rather than denounce without thought covering all phases of a situation; It Ia better to work tor humanity without reward than work for humanity with the hope that se will remember and give tangible reward; It is better to go down de- feated rather than accept the terms a an enemy that you are determinné has won unfalrly in the struggle; It Is better to die rather than compro: mise unconvinced of the mants of your gontention; It is better to ac. cept the half Joaf in honor rather then the whole loaf with a conscious ness of jndividual dishonor {n the transaction; It ts better to smile fr jdefeat and laugh at rumor, rather ,than rejoice over an enemy in your vistory or fight a lle; It is better to pluck the flowers of gervice to man along your way rather than await the banquet of those you can not serve, _— ARG YOU AWARE? (Continued from first page.) day, The fellow whose money “comes sasy” goes uit as easy, Some say, that kind of wealth {1s too hot they cant hold It, It burns the pocket. We (find tho’ that it {fs all due to the lack of brain and wealth compatibil- ity, or “vacant rooms in the upper story.” ‘to nave or be thrifty is a very dif. ficult Labit to acquire, Yet it is the best habit along that line to have. The Hi-¥,Club studied tast week in their Bitle study period, the subject of Thrift vs Being a Good Sport. President Jas. Taylor in giving a sersion said, that to be thrifty means that one should make all he can, save all he can, and spend (or give) all he can in the proper direction. Several of the boys gave just as good versions as ttis, but in phraslology, this appeared somewhat unique. These boys really think, It will pay some of the men of our city to visit this club every Thursday evening ani hear this club transact the busi- ness. saat the HLY Quintette Is ached. uled to sing at 9:30 Sunday morning at the First Methodist Mon’s Bible Class, and at 10.00 at the First Pres- byterian Church, and Monday Xmas morning at the Central Christlan Church during @ sun-rise prayer- mecting, where I am told that all the young folks unions of the city are in- vited to attend? A very special and urgent invita- tlon is txtended to the young folks of our organizations to take part in this solemn festivity. May I urge all who porsibly can make it, to be there and on tlme? This js another of our chances to show ourselves friendly; we now how we can reach the hearts of our brother, Why not do it? As the Yuletide Iraws near. let us think more scriously on the interests of the other fellow. Mie SiMe has never Deen nor T never will come when tee af- faus of men can be promoted with- out the touching influences of the CHRISTIAN CHURCH. Races may may miso and fall, Governments, reign and perish, Men triumph and fail, yet the CHURCH will and nec- cssarily must retain its full sway over the spintual affairs of men, It is the height of folly for any other supposition to receive attention if spite of the efforts of higher critics, doubting racial forces, or ealous scehers after tke betterment of con- ditions affecting the human race. It is not the fault of the Truths to be fonud in the Chr.stlan Church that it does not sweep out Into the affairs of the world’s Governments, and over night change the current of passing events. Alas! it 1s due to the fact that within the church are control- ing influences, ambitious and detri- mental, laboring contrary to the fun- damental principles of the GOSPEL that have not caught the spiritual vision of the present age nor arrived at an appreciation of the purpose of Jesus Christ, and his lofty appre- clation of the purpose of Jesus Christ and His lofty mission. No indictment against the Christian Church can stand when filed against the CHURCH dirozt for its lack of co- operative actions in dealing with many phases of community life. The Church+ always has been and will ontinue tobe the store-house of God’s Eternal Truths prepared for the use of the Human Race. Indictments against the several distinct forces which adhered themselves to tte church but by lack of appreciation of the purpose of the church, fail to launch forth fully into the civic, so- cic] and political affairs of a commu- nity, may ell be made, Money ex- nenled WISELY in the erecting of churches is not so much a racial evil as it is a safe Indication of the rise of a God-Fearing Progressive Race. Groups In the churches are falling to pronerly institute among men the essentials of racial grandeur along the fines commonly accepted as being marks of TRUE PROGRESSIVE CHRISTIANITY, and this truth of the sveral religions of the world {r- espective of race or color, MPUE SATE STORING AWAY of the Dyer Anti-Lyncting Bull wv the UNITED STATES SENATE ‘x bit another indication of the fact that radical forces have made pro- zresn in the country, While the par- ticular merits ef the measures fust ‘ilel by “THE SPIRIT OF THE LD SOUTH,” and its Republican silier may have admitted of question stlative to its enforcement, and what not. It certainly was worthy of a trial, Mob Murder, Law Violation, under Mob Influences, and other evils vbich follow in the Immediate wake of keated passions expressed by col+ lective forces have all been properly licensed to a further pa:lod of depres cation against American Citizenship by the very fact that the bill faded of passage. America, the country of countries, daring to stand forth as the mighty champion of WORLD- WIDE DEMOCRACY. Teeming with Christian Influences, and sup. ported by the world’s wealth, has now prodained from the housetop that its law makers have not the mora! cou age to enact a law against the evil most threatening as a menace te the future scurity and peace of the REPUBLIC, ‘he Dyer Anti-Lynch: imng Lill may rest eternaily in the Senate Committee Chamber but i some remedy fs not found within the next few dazades to check tho ever increasing apirit of the MOB, Amer icca must reap the whirl-wind of a reign of anarchic tovror and law vio: lation inspired by the death of lynch: ing measure.

Let all Christians of the United States white and black, unite In prayer to God for a remedy, and then rise detrmined to assert the full might of American fitizen- ship through the ballot to assist in providing a remedy and it wiil be found. Wall they do it? The ques- tion is do the white Christian forces desire a remedy? A remedy was found for the White Slavery Evil, The Drink Evuli, and hundreds of mi- nor evils which have been attacked, and defeated by tte church without sensational prayer seasons, arrived at ag the last resort, and if the white and black Christians will unite their forces, the Lynching Evil will be dewned perhaps, not more prayer but more determined effort to use the things which God has placed at hand Proper Assertion of American Citi- zenship where possible, after calm, deliberate thougtt.

Craft, Field Secretary of the B. Y. P. U. preached for us Sunday morning, a most profound sermon, from Heb. 13:5; subject:— “God's Promise.” Dr .Craft spoxe authentically, stating that God's promises Wre sure and valid as they ever were. He showed that we, by sclf-deception would dare to doubt God’s promises. How we beguile ourselves by misconceytion, ul-concep- tions and misinterpretation, either eonsciously or unconsciously. These sime phenomenons constitute tho greater part of the real tragedies in Christendom. Dr. Crayt urged a stron falth in God's promises on our part. “Seest thou how faith wrought vith His works and by works was ‘alth made perfect?” “And the Scripture was fulfilled which salth, Abraham believed God, and it waa mnputed unto him for righteousness: And he was called the friend of God.” One interestirg, outstanding fea- ture of Abraham’s faith is that Abra- ‘am’s father was a maker of ido’ ods, but when God called Abraham *e went without anv Fesitancy to ¢ nd wich he knew not. A beautiful thought, too, was srought ovt by Dr. Craft that earth's -autv was crented for man. The erasures of the earth were created for man, In his prebriinaries, Dz. Craft omnlimnted the congregation on ft anetituents.
