The Negro World

RACE TO MAKE NEW EFFORT IN 1923 The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro VOL. XIII. No. 20 RACE TO MA FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: In another few hours the old year of 1922 will be gone and the new year of 1923 will be ushered in to mark another step in the affairs of men. Our race has struggled through the old year with its many hardships, nevertheless we find ourselves today more advanced in the determination to claim our rights among the other races and nations of the world than at any other period in our history. We were able to impress the world in 1922 as it was never before. The continuous fight of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for a place of recognition among the races and nations has caused the thoughtful everywhere to realize that the Negro is no longer to be disregarded as a racial entity, but that room must be made for placing him in the greater democracy which has become the privilege of all free men. When we look back upon our work in the organization of the Universal Negro Improvement Association we will surely feel proud and happy in the fact that we gave of our moral and financial support in pushing forward the greatest movement ever started among Negroes. The new year will find us, however, looking forward with new resolutions, new faith, new hope. We who make up the ranks of this great movement shall redouble our every effort to see the triumph of our righteous cause. Every member, friend and well-wisher could do nothing better at this time than make the new year resolve to go forward, struggling amidst obstacles and oppositions, to carry the doctrine of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to the remotest corner of the world. We need brave hearts for service in 1923, NEW YORK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1922 AKE NEW EFF GREAT SUCCESS OF GREAT NEGRO MOVEMENT IN 1922 SPECIAL PRIVILEGE OF PRESENT GENERATION TO DO SERVICE FOR GOOD OF RACE WORK THAT CALLS FOR STEADFASTNESS AND STRENGTH OF CHARACTER arts that will be unfaltering, hearts that will be true, because much more is expected to be done in the new year even than what has been done in the years past. No discouragement, no obstacle shall daunt in 1923 the courage of the men and women who make up the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Our enemies have worked without as well as within, but we have by our stubborn hearts and set purposes led the way to victory, so that the closing year of 1922 sees us as ready for the fight as when the first vision of Africa redeemed was brought to us. THE PRIVILEGE OF LIVING The millions of us of this generation feel it a special privilege that we should be living at this time of world readjustment to be able to lend of our effort in helping to create the new standard of race and blast a way to a permanent place of independence among the other races of mankind. Especially so do the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association count it as a privilege, because we realize our obligation not only to our own generation but to generations yet unborn. It was a privilege for Washington to have been born in the revolutionary period of America, so was it a privilege for the leaders of French Republicanism to have been ```markdown ``` PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK SEVEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U.S.A. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES ORT IN 1923 born in an age of political freedom. Thus we ourselves are glad of being born at this time. No greater service could we render humanity than that of lifting our own race from the pits of degradation to the heights of national glory. For this we struggle as members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, fearing no foe, but with our faith fixed in the great God, who promised that out of Egypt shall come our princes, and that we ourselves shall stretch out our hands unto Him; we march on, feeling the strength to move even mountains from our path way until we have successfully planted the banner of freedom in the land of our fathers. This is a work that calls for strength of character and steadfastness of vision. This, we hope, every Negro will take to himself in the year 1923. There is much for us to do in this direction, not only to free our country, but the emancipating of an entire race from mental as well as physical bondage. We shall make up our minds in the new year to throw off the influences of alien environments, looking more to ourselves for the curing of our own ills than to the sympathetic interest of others to whom we have looked for ages without any realization of the satisfaction desired. Let 1923 be our banner year for the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the members of this great organization. This is the prayer and the wish of your humble servant who wishes one and all a Bright and Prosperous CHRIST NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR PHYSICAL CONDITION. OF MAN—SO SAYS MARCUS GARVEY LIBERTY HALL NEW YORK, Sunday night, December 24, 1922 - Tonight (Christmas eve) found Liberty Hall filled with a large and enthusiastic gathering of the members and followers of the New York Local of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, who took a lively interest in the special musical program which had been specially prepared for the occasion and which was splendidly executed by the choir and the band under the direction of Prof. Arnold J. Ford, and listened with rapt attention to the inspiring messages delivered by the various speakers, all of which embraced the thought of Christmas and the stimulus which this festive occasion should give to the supporters of the movement to carry on the work with even greater zeal and energy, with the assurance that the close of each year brings them nearer and nearer the goal of the association and the fulfillment of its plans for the betterment of the race in all parts of the world. The speakers were Vernal J. Williams, assistant counsel general, Hon. G. E. Carter, first vice-president of New York Local and Hon. Marion Garve). Mr Williams in a very appropriate speech recounted some of the difficulties with which the association was beset during the year just about to close, but added that the association had emerged the victor and conquered because the battle which it was fighting in behalf of the 400,000,000 black people of the world was a just battle. There can be no greater incentive said Mr Williams, there can be no greater stimulus to enter the new year than with this great fact that in the year just coming to a close we have fought well the fight that we set out to make namely the fight for African redemption. In closing he made the following exhortation. Let us all look back on the past year as a year of victory, as a year of conquering deeds as a year of victorious achievements, and standing on the threshold of the new year let us look forward with new determination with new hope with new visions, with a greater incentive to push forward behind the red, the black, and the Green, in order that somewhere someday, at some future time, we may fight not for freedom alone in America but for the entire freedom of the populace of Africa. Mr Garvey's address was in the nature of a sermon taken from the text "Peace on earth, good-will toward men." In it he pointed out the significance of the birth of Christ to the Christian world and urged that the lesson of love which was exemplified by the life of Christ on earth play a greater part in influencing the minds of humanity the world over towards effecting a common brotherhood of man and bringing about the reign of peace which was intended by the words of the deat. Following are the speeches: MON. V. J. WILLIAMS SPEAKS Counsellor Vernal J Williams spoke follow: I want to take this occasion to extend to one and all the heartfelt felicitations of the season I wish every one here a very, very happy and very Christmas I wish everyone the greatest abundance of prosperity and happiness during the coming year Look Within Ourselves At this time it seems most fitting and proper to call upon everyone of us to look within ourselves and ask whether or not we are satisfied with the part we have played in the great cause during the year that is just about to come to a close. The end of the year marks the end of another milestone in the life. In the Journey in the pathway of the Universal Negro Improvement Association A Year of Victory I believe I voice the opinion of everyone when I say that the year 1922 has been a year of victory for the Universal Negro Improvement Association. (Applause.) I think during the past year we have fought some of our greatest battles. Some of the foes whom we have met have been among the most formidable, and no one can doubt tonight, but that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is ending the year 1922 conqueror and victor in a great fight. This fight which we are waging is not for ourselves as an organization, it is not for the membership alone, but this is a giant fight on behalf of 400,000,000 of black people the world over. This is a fight that we are waging for the benefit of the men themselves who have fought us. It is true that there were times when many of our members perhaps felt dismayed, but the fight we can say that we have proved to every man and woman throughout the world that we conquered because the battle we fight is a just battle. (Applause.) There can be no greater incentive, there can be no greater stimulus to enter the New Year than with this great fact that in the year just brought to a close we have fought well the fight that we set out to fight, namely, the fight for African Redemption. Herliane were it not for the fact that within this race of ours there are numerous men who are fearful; were it not the fact that there are men within the ranks who refuse to work for the progress of this race because of their jealousy, but in spite of that fact this mighty movement must go on because before us lies the future redemption of Africa. One of the great reasons why a certain immunity has befallen the race in the past, namely, the failure of the Dewar shift, Lycamphus hill has been the principal factor affecting the race. Were it not for the fact that certain men in the middle classes built for the Advancement of Children People were jealous—which made the fact that they were not able to exploit the race for the benefit of public benefit was as important as the success of the life of the race in the past. If not for the success of the race, men within the ranks of the N.A.A.C.P. who seized upon the Dyer Ant Lynching bill as the vehicle on which they could ride to the selfish aggrandizement the Dyer Ant Lynching bill might never have failed, but because of this selfishness that is eating at the bowels - yes the vitals of the progress of our people that bill failed. What is the result? The result is that the race finds itself a laughing stock before the white politicians of America. The white man's politics at its very best is nothing but a mere man's empty shadow the white man's politics is a mere dream that brings distrust and degradation and failure to the white man himself and as far as the Negro is concerned the white man's politics becomes a salamig and a curse and a sordid form of men with black men themselves when the so-called leaders of the race in trying to use the hardships and the sorrows and the griefs of the race in further their own selfish aggrandizement play into the hands of white politicians bringing thereby curse and misa in the race and that has been the cause of the failure of the Dyer Ant Lynching bill. The year tonight is closing with the black mark in the path of progress. What are we going to do my friends. What are the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association going to do? Are we going to look upon the failure of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People through the Dyer Ant Lynching bill in our failure? Or are we going to use that as a great incentive to push on with greater schemes towards the freedom and redemption of Africa. No Hope in the White Man's Government There is absolutely no hope at all in the white man government for the Negro. It is true we may obtain certain temporary benefits, we may obtain certain favors for the moment but when it comes to that larger security of permanent political freedom there is no hope for the Negro under the white man government. There cannot be in the natural order of things, there cannot be because of the white man is going to be secure at all he must dominate—he must rule in his own sphere. How can we ever expect that we are going to get that equality or political freedom that he enjoys? And so when the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People threatened Congressmen and Senators with defeat unless they backed the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, they played into the jaws of the lion seeking a chance to snap at the vitals and bowels of the race. The N. A. A C P by their lack of tact, have themselves defeated the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, but in their defeat the Universal Negro Improvement Association will bring forth a greater remedy—in their defeat the Universal Negro Improvement Association will bring forth a greater salvation—not the mere passage of a law that at its best could not have served the purpose for which it was intended, but the Universal Negro Improvement Association taking up the light will bring forth that greater that better, that more magnificent salvation of the race which the race needs a government of the race by the race and for the race (Applause). I say tonight let us all look back on the past year as a car of victory as a year of conquering deeds, as a year of victorious achievements and standing on the threshold of the New Year let us look forward, forgetting the failures that are behind us. Let us look forward on the New Year with new determination with new hopes, with new visions with a greater incentive to push forward behind the Red, the Black and the Green in order that somewhere some day, at some future time we may fight not for freedom alone in America, but for the entire freedom of the populace of Africa. (Applause) HON. MARCUS GARVEY SPEAKS Hon. Marcus Garvey spoke as follow: "Peace on earth good will toward men." This message this salutation was brought to the world a little over 1900 years ago. It heralded in the birth of a spiritual redeemer, the Christ. When man had fallen in sin from his spiritual kinship to his Creator, and disgust reigned even in heaven among the angels and the Holy One who brought out of chaos the great universe, there sprang up divine sympathy, divine love, a sympathy and love within the Trinity caused the Son of God to vouchsafe himself as the Redeemer of mankind, as the Redeemer of the world. He betook to Himself, with the authority of His Father, the duty, the work, the labor, the sacrifice to bring man nearer to his Creator, to bring man nearer to his God. The angels on that first Christmas morn notified the world that the Christ was to be born. He did not of Himself come down in His spiritual image from the heaven on high, but for the purpose of drawing Himself nearer man He took on the flesh and was born of a virgin woman, and in that stable at Bethlehem the whole world, through the message of the angels, was told of the great happening and men journeyed from far and near to see the Christ. To some His birth was a disappointment, because he was born lowly; He was born amid poor conditions and circumstances; He was not born of the reigning household; He was born only of a carpenter, an humble laborer, and therefore to many His birth was a disappointment. The prophets foretold the birth of Christ; the prophets foretold the birth of the Redeemer, and men were looking for Him everywhere. The race to which He was to be born expected a Redeemer in pump and glory, and when Mankind in manager they were disappointed, they were disgusted and they gnounced Him as the Christ.

He was not the Promised One. He was not the Son of God. He was an imposter, but others who had faith believed that He was the Christ. And the lowly taboo that was born on us in the painful world 1922 years ago grew up amidst the surroundings of prejudice, small the surroundings of age, and diseases. A fictional fiction to take on his work to perform his labor as the Christ, as the Deerer of man as the Redeemer of the world. born of high birth of high parental age because he was not born in their immediate circle he was not born of the physical bond royal therefore he could not follow such a man. His doctrine is unbound and he drives the plausibility of the people he gets by his impatience of him. He can see his tool man will have to move up in that birth method that he desired us to teach and know as taught to us by His Son Let us realize that we are on earth there will be no seeing God face to face God is just God is love, God does not should advantage and abuse to His own people God created mankind to the same rights and privileges and the same opportunities and before man can see his tool man will have to move up in that birth method that he desired us to teach and know as taught to us by His Son Let us realize that we are on earth We commemorate it a birth in another short whole. The man who took on flesh physical as our moved among us even as we go about our daily habits and occupations today, looking just as anyone looks in this building to night. They could not believe that He was the Son of God, but in Him there was that which no man knew, which no man had. In Him was a apostle soul was a apostle character never known to the world beyond the Christ in all God's creation. There never came into the world a character like Jesus pure, apostle, immaculate, divine like unto God, as God would have each of us to be. When God created man and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, when God gave to man a living soul, God expected that man would live the spiritual life of the Christ, and when man sinned when man fell from grace, God became disgusted. God became disatisfied. If we could see the sufferings of Christ, if we could see the patience of Christ, if we could see the very crucifixion of Christ, then we would see the creature the being spiritual that God would have us to be, and knowing ourselves as we do, we could well realize how far we are from God. For man to see his God, for man to face his judgment and become one of the elect of the High Divine, of the Holy One is for man to live the life of the Christ—the apostle life, the holy life, the life without sin, and that is a journey that everyone in the Christian world is called upon to make. If we cannot make it we cannot expect to see our God. Man has fallen so low, man has fallen so far from his high estate as created and given him by God that even now man does not know himself except in the physical, but the physical does not make the man complete. Man is part physical as well as part spiritual the physical life we live here to our satisfaction the spiritual life we give to God when He calls us and how many of us in the world today if called for the spiritual life will give that life as apostle as Jesus by His example taught." When we look at the world today we think of sin, we think of injustice, of iniquity, a world where man because of his at length, because of his advantage abuses the rights of his brother. When we look upon the oceans of injustice that are placed in the path of the weak how much must we not realize the far distance that we are from God and the far distance that we are from the man Christ who tried to teach us the life by which we should save salvation, the life that He came to redeem. Christ brought a mission to the world, it was that of love to all mankind, that which taught man to love his brother to be charitable, and when He taught that doctrine after He had assumed the form of manhood what did the world do to Him? The world derided Him, the world scoffed at Him, they called Him all kinds of names. He was an impostor. He was a disturber of the public peace. He was not fit to be among good society, he was an outcast. He was a traitor to the king. That is what they said of Jesus when He went about teaching and preaching to men the way of salvation, pointing them to the light by which they would see their Heavenly Father. And even though He was the Son of God, even though He had power from on high even though He worked miracles to prove that He was not only an ordinary man, they did not believe Him and they did not heed Him. The very people among whom He was born, the very people whom probably He loved most were the people who cried most for the destruction and the death of this man, and even though He was the Christ, the Son of God, He could not save Himself from the dissatisfied robbers of His day and of His time. He went about Jerusalem. He went about the holy places, teaching the multitude. He appealed to the masses of the people to save them from their sins, and when the masses attempted to hear Him, when the masses indicated that they would follow Him, the classes who always rule said that He was a disturber of the peace. "We cannot allow this man to travel at large, disturbing the peace of the community. This man threatens the power of the state; therefore we must imprison Him; we must place Him out of the way so that He will not teach these people this new doctrine, the doctrine of love, the doctrine of human brotherhood and the doctrine of equality." The First Great Reformer The First Great Reformer Christ was the first great reformer. Christ did not go exclusively to the classes. He devoted his life to all; the blames reflected him because he was a born of high birth of high par- tage because he was not born in the immediate circle he was not born of the physical blood royal therefore the could not follow such a man. His doctrine is unbound and He's serving the people of the people. He's getting the sympathy of the crowd can we follow? And the answer was no. And even the Son of God not man on earth but the Son of God was caught by the clauses who have always held down the masses because of His teaching for the spiral glory (if not the physical) of the people whom He loved. And so while we commemorate the birth of the Christ today, we must bear in mind the sufferings He underwent the agony. He underwent for the purpose of carrying out completely His mission the mission that brought Him down from heaven to earth. Christ came to save a painful world, the world rejected Him, and even at the last hour after He had preached for years to the people after He had aroused the suspicion and the curiosity of the masses of His time, when He was about to leave the world. He had not even twelve men who were honest enough to profess the faith. He had not made twelve faithful converts, and He was the Son of God. That proves to you the state of man's mind, that proves to you the character of man, and man has not changed much since Christ was here. If he has changed he has done so for the worse. And that brings me to the thought whether if Christ should come back to the world today in what they would he be received? If Christ were to return to the world today, born in the same lowly state born of the same humble parentage and attempted to preach the same redemption. He would be imprisoned. He would be executed. He would be crucified in this twentieth century even as he was crucified nineteen hundred years ago on the Mount of Calvary. Man has not changed much. But there is one lesson we can learn out of the teaching of Christ. Even though man in the ages may be hard in heart and hard in soul that which is righteous that which is spiritually just even though the physical man dies, the righteous cause is bound to live. Because the preaching of Jesus the teaching of Jesus was not something physical if it was something physical it would have died. The teaching of Jesus the preaching of Jesus was something spiritual and where there is righteousness of spirit there is length of life. Jesus the man was not respected. Jesus the man was not adored Jesus the man was not even loved by His own people and for that they sacrificed Him, but the spiritual doctrines of Jesus were righteous, the doctrines of Jesus were just, and even though he died nearly nineteen hundred years ago, what has happened? After the lapse of nineteen hundred years His religion is the greatest moving force in the world today morally and spiritually. It shows you, therefore the power of spiritual force. It shows you, therefore, the power of a righteous cause. Jesus, who was the first great reformer taught us the way, after Him followed other great reformers who shared the same fate. Horn, perhaps, in the same lowly station of life, feeling with the masses of people who suffered like them, they have gone out whether it be Luther or Saint Augustine or some other great reformer but they have all gone out and they preached their doctrine to suffer in their time for the doctrine, to rise again on the wings of time and to flourish as the green bay tree. No tonight as we make up our minds to celebrate Christmas, let us remember that it is worthy of a deeper thought than pleasure. Let us realize that Christmas symbolizes something other than the amusement that it affords us today that Christmas brings us to the realization of the fact that hundreds of years ago when man was practically lost in his spiritual kinship with his Creator and the world probably was to be wiped away the Son of God Himself came down from His throne on high for the purpose of saving you and saving me. We rejected Him in the past our attitude now suggests no better consideration for Him if He should return, but as that patience, but as that love, but as that mercy, but as that charity that caused Him to look down not in revenge, but in the belief in the hope that some time man will change his ways, man will get to realise his true kinship with his Creator and be what his God expected him to be. But before we reach that point we need to get to a better understanding of ourselves, and what time affords a better opportunity than now for us to get a better understanding of ourselves. As the Christian world is about to celebrate Christmas, may we not see the weak ones, the suffering ones and among them are 400,000,000 Negroes. May we not say to the strong, may we not say to the powerful, that until you change your ways there will be no salvation, there will be no redemption. BIG NEW YEAR'S TREAT AND REVEL AT there will be no seeing God face to face. God is just God in love, and in no respect of persons God does not special advantage and abuse to His own people God created mankind to the same rights and privileges and the same opportunities and before man can see his God man will have to mature up in that love in that breadth school that He desired us to be His Son Jesus. Let us realize that we are both a keeper, let us realize but we are of one blood created of one nation to worship God the common father. It does not burden us suggest a proper understanding of our God or a proper knowledge of ourselves when we strengthen we strengthen us and oppress the weak. So on this trip I lay the International Negro Improvement Association appeals to the strong and mighty races and nations of the world for a better and closer consideration and understanding of the teaching of the minstrel who went about this world in his effort to redeem fellow man. The Pope of Rome gave out a message today expressing the desire for greater harmony, for greater peace. The Pope claims to be the year of Christ. His representative on earth But I wonder if the Pope knows himself. Not only the Pope but the statesmen of the world cry out for peace. They are meeting in many conferences with the hope that they will have peace but I wonder if they understand the meaning of peace. There can be no peace until that peace reflects the spirit of the message of the angels of nineteen centuries ago. The real peace activated by love, love as the Christ came to the world to give us love for the high and mighty love for the meek and lowly, love for all in the only peace that will reign is the only peace that will draw man nearer to his God. And when the Pope speaks of peace and forgets that outside of Rome there are millions of souls grazing on darkness to be considered, when the Pope speaks of peace will he consider the millions of men who do not profess the faith of Rome". But man is so selfish that even the Pope who claims to be the vision of God does not seem to realize and understand that there are other men in the world except those who profess his faith. And so the Pope and the other great leaders of the world—the men who lead America seem to believe what there are also in the world but the people who make up America the people who lead the British empire even though they cry for peace and desire peace seem to believe that no one else lives in the --- world but men within the British empire. Up to now we have not yet got the message of the angels, up to now they have not yet fully interpreted the spirit of the Christ. Christ came into the world not to save one set of humanity, otherwise he would not have been the Christ. Christ came into the world to save markind, therefore His love must be for all His love could not be sectional. His love could not be partial. His love was general and universal. Therefore before we can have peace on earth before we can welcome the spirit of the High God before we can get a true understanding of the spirit of the Christ who came to us born in the lowly stable of Bethlem we must get to realize the truth of that exact realization it in truth realise it in fact and practice it whether we be white or black or some other hue. A Peace of Justice to All Men A Peace of Justice to All Men The Universal Negro Improvement Association comes out at this Christman Eve for the greater peace the peace that will be just to all men the peace that will give to all men that which I love whether he be African Europe or an American give to him that when it is becoming to him whether he for a good or spiritual prophe – that which is your brother is give to an brother that which is for No tonight is we loved liberty. Hard to know how in another couple of minutes the Christ times of 1922 let us realize that Christ came to save all man from his fallen state to restore him to his spiritual lighthouse to his God. He ought love. He brought mercy. He brought charity. He brought everything that God would have of man He created him. The universal Negro Improvement Association the refusal of its members at this Christmas time to procure the part of love to provide the spirit of charity to provide the heart of mercy toward mankind because in doing so you will be bringing God’s kingdom down upon earth. He live that true life that perfect life in ourselves is spiritual beings not forgetting that we are physical also man must not fail to understand his dual personality. In being charitable and sympathetic like the Christ would have us to do not mean to say that we must ignore our physical defects. Christ was not too much interested in the physical responsibility of man neither is God interested in the physical activities of man. That may be something strange to say at this hour when we have heard so much about the physical Christ cared so little for the physical that He offered Himself up and was satisfied to go on one cross and let the physical die the God of the man is interested in the spiritual of man, but man’s physical body is for his own protection, is for his own purpose. Whatsoever you want to do with the physical God does not interfere and I trust at this time, when we are going to contemplate Christ that we will get a better understanding of Him and get a better understanding of the religion that He taught because some of us seem to have some peculiar ideas about the religion of Jesus. Some of us seem to believe that Christ and the Father are responsible for all ourills—physical life. They have nothing to do with our physical ill. God is not and Jesus Himself is not interested in the bodies that is the privilege and imperative given to you. If you want to destroy it that is the same privilege and proactive He has given. If you want to commit suicide that is your business. If you want to live, that is your business. God has given you the power. He has made you a free agent far as the physical in life goes. All that God is interested in is the spiritual that you cannot kill, because the moment you destroy the physical body God lays claim to the spiritual that He endowed you with. The spiritual is never ours, the spiritual is always God, but the physical is our own property. If you want to go and contract disease it is all your business. If you want to break your physical life up, that is all your business. God does not interfere. And that should be the Negro interpretation in this twentieth century of Christ's religion. It is no use to blame God and blame Christ for the things that happen to us in the physical they are not responsible. they have absolutely nothing to do with it. If one man enjoys life and another does not God has absolutely nothing to do with the difference between the two individuals. That is to say, if one man lives in a palace across the street and enjoys life, and the other fellow lives in the gutter across the street God has nothing to do with the difference between them. It is purely a physical regulation left to man himself. If John D Rockefeller wants to drive around in a limousine costing $1,000 and Marcus Garvey wants to walk around on his two feet, it is his business. God has nothing to do with it. So I trust at this Christmas time you will give deeper study to the religion of Jesus as He taught it. You will find that He at no time is interested in the physical of man but He was at all times so interested in the spiritual of man and Jesus Christ came to save man spiritually and not physically. Make your interpretation of Christianity what it ought to be and blame not God blame not Providence for the things you are to blame yourselves in the physical for. That is my message in you and that is my message to the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association throughout the world.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY TO GIVE COURSES ON NEGRO CIVILIZATIONS OF ANCIENT AFRICA One of the Few Schools in World at Present Time Offering Definitely Outlined Courses in This Specifie Field Specific Field WASHINGTON, D. C Dec. 21.—For several years past the authorities of Howard University have recognized the need and possibility of a more extensive study than is at present being given to the history of the Negro peoples of the world. For quite some time, beginning with the establishment of the Moorland Foundation and through it the acquisition of Negro Americans, the study of American Negro life and history has constituted an important part of the work of the university, but until now it has not been able to extend this study in any intensive way into its African beginnings. The authorities, however, now take pleasure in announcing a program designed to meet, in part at least, this important need. During the winter and spring quarters of this year three definitely outlined courses dealing with Negro civilizations in ancient and medieval Africa will be established and given as an integral part of the work of the School of Liberal Arts. Those courses, which will be under the general supervision of the history department, will be directed by Mr William Leo Hanberry, a graduate and graduate student of Harvard University. Mr Hanberry is a young man of African descent and has devoted considerable time both in and out of college to investigations in this field. The following is an official statement of the scope and general nature of the courses to be offered History 12: Negro People in the Civilizations of the Prehistoric and Ancient World This course is a provisional survey of the part played by Negro peoples in the origin development and distribution of the higher cultures and civilizations of man in the prehistoric and early ancient world. It is based in the main upon authenticated archaeological discoveries and documentary evidence bearing upon the relation of Negro peoples (n) to the palacolithic and neolithic cultures of Africa and Europe, (b) their position and influence in the civilizations of predynastic and early dynastic Egypt, and (c) their relations to the prehistoric and early historic civilizations in the regions of the Aegean Sea and Western Asia, including Arabia and India. History 13: Negro Civilizations in East Central Africa from the Eighth Century B. C. Until the End of the Sixteenth Century. This course is a continuation of History 12. It aims to give a general acquaintance with the Collegiations in the Egyptian Sudan and Abyssinia from the Ethiopian conquest of Egypt in the eight centuries B.C until the coming of Western European influence in the eleventh and seventeenth centuries. Special attention will be given to the origin and development of the distinctive features of the civilizations of these countries before the coming of Christianity, and the effect of Christianity and Islam respectively upon their subsequent history History 14: Negro Civilization in West Central Africa from A. D. 1000 to the End of the Eighteenth Century. This course will be a survey of the political and cultural conditions in the three great Negro states of the Western Bulan the Kingdom of Ghana, the Mellettue and the Hongay Empire—from about the year 1000 A D until the end of the eighteenth century. Special attention will be given (a) to the distinctive character of the social institutions and the material culture of those countries previous to the coming of Islam (b) the influence of Islam upon these institutions and this culture and (c) the effect, direct and indirect, of Western civilization upon the civilizations of this part of Africa. In addition, the cultural status of the Negro peoples of these countries during this period will be critically compared with that of their contemporaries in the Teutonic countries of Europe. As a result of archaeological discoveries and ethnological studies in various parts of the world, and especially in Africa, there is coming about a remarkable change of opinion in many circles regarding the part played by Negro people in the great civilizations of the past. From year to year evidence continues to accumulate which seems to show that the earliest cultures and civilizations of Egypt, Southern Europe and Western Asia were to a great extent the products of Negro and Negroid peoples. In addition to this it now seems certain, as has been intimated in the courses outlined, that until comparatively recent times the Negro peoples of Central Africa maintained civilizations of their own which may be favorably compared with some of the better known civilizations of the world, and especially so with the cultures of their contemporaries in England and Germany So far as it has been possible to ascertain there are but very few schools in America or the world that are making at present time any noticeable effort to disseminate facts of this nature. This may be due in part to the inertia resulting from the traditional feeling as to the inexpediency of popularizing such information, but there is no doubt that the difficulty of access to adequate source materials and the lack of trained teachers for such studies are also largely responsible for this condition. The authorities of Howard University, in keeping with their determination to make the institution an agency for genuine social good, have under advisement plans looking forward to the elimination of these difficulties in the near future, the effort outlined above being but the initial step in this direction. It is believed that in fostering a program of this kind the university can do much to clear up many of the misconceptions about Negro peoples of the past and the present, and in this way serve the nation and the world well by facilitating understanding and mutual respect among black men and white, thereby preparing the way for a closer national unity and a wider and more genuine international good will. HOWARD DENTAL GRADUATES MAKE FINE RECORD WAHINGTON, Dec. 37.—According to reports which have been received, the work of the three Howard dental graduates who are serving an internship in the Forsyth Dental Infirmary, Boston Mass the first institution to be established in this country for the free treatment and care of children's teeth is worthy of much praise. In the recent efficiency examination, in which forty-four of the fifty interns at this infirmary participated and only thirteen passed, three of these successful participants were the three Howard men now serving at the infirmary. The three Howard dental graduates are Doctor Arnold B. Donnaun, Paul H. Alexander, and John Chiles. All three were members of the class of 1922 of the Howard University School of Dentistry. Dr. Donowa is at present chief operator of the X-ray clinic and checks up the work of all root canal operators. Dr Chiles was senior operator in anaesthesia clinic and is at present senior operator of extracting clinic in the afternoon. Dr. Alexander has had the honor of being assigned to three major clinics, was senior operator in orthopedic clinic, and at present is senior operator in extracting clinic in the morning. Dr. Donowa enjoys the reputation of being the best intern on the staff. The fifty internes at the Forsyth Dental Infirmary represent the following dental schools: Northwestern Dental School, University of California School of Dentistry, University of Pennsylvania Dental School, Baltimore College of Dental and Oral Surgery Tufts School of Dentistry, Harvard Dental School, University of Minnesota, University of Marquette, University of North Dakota, Howard University School of Dentistry, and New York College of Dental and Oral Surgery FREEDOM OF RELI- GIOUS THOUGHT We are all interested in freedom of religious belief and a proper expression of religious thought. Freedom or religious belief is guaranteed by the National Constitution, but everything guaranteed by the National Constitution is not accepted by the people as law and gospel. The three Civil War amendments guarantee freedom, and civil and economic equality of rights to the Negro people, and the rigid enforcement of legislation growing out of the eighteenth amendment, are not regarded as valid and binding, by a surprisingly large part of the citizenship. This, however, may come about in the course of events, and it is for our race group to fight to the finish for the rights and guarantees of the Civil War amendment to us. That is our business, and we can't neglect it for a moment. Dr. A. Wakefield Slaten, who was dismissed from his position as professor of biblical literature in William Jewell College, a Baptist institution at Liberty, Mo., for what they regard as orthodox doctrine in his book, "What Jesus Taught," has written an article in which he claims, among other things, that his removal was inspired by a disposition to defer to the money influences which contribute to the support of college work with a definite object of having only such doctrine taught as they regard as sound, "until," as he says, "every teacher of enlightenment and modern culture has been benished from denominational schools at home and on the foreign field, and in our class rooms medieval darkness settles down." We are very liberal in our thinking, keeping abreast of the regnant thought of the times upon the fundamentals of our civilization and Christianity, but we still adhere to the fact that preachers and professors in colleges are bound to think inside and not outside the creed and rules they subscribe as to conditions of their employment, and that when they find themselves out of joint with such rules and creeds the proper thing to do is to resign and get into other lines of thought and endeavor.—Negro Times.

This conference is held as a part of the Hampton Institute Builder's Course, which aims "to stimulate the interest of the prospective builder in all phases of the industry." The two-year course covers a wide range of subjects and aims to give the builder-in-training "accurate business methods, skillful field management, thorough knowledge of building materials and trades, sound structural sense, discriminating architectural taste, and broad human interests." A number of short courses on subjects of importance to builders will start immediately after the conference. Included in these will be cost accounting, estimating, quantity surveying, use of standard plans, etc. These courses will be one to six weeks in length—made to fit the needs of colored builders. THE GARVEY CASE The case of the United States Postal Inspectors against Marcus Garvey has been postponed until January 2, 1923. RAILROADS GRANT RATES TO MEMBERS OF ALPHA PHI ALPHA FOR ST. LOUIS CONVENTION TO BE HELD DEC. 27 TO 31 U. N. I. A. MEETS IN FAIRMONT AT COLORED C. M. E. CHURCH Many delegates from surrounding vicinities attended the Universal Negro Improvement Association of Northern West Virginia divisions, which was held at the Colored C. M. E. Church, Saturday, December 2. Among the delegates were those from Wheeling, Clarkaburg, Farmington, Monongah and a number of other towns. The meeting was opened at 10 o'clock in the morning and was well attended. Devotional exercises were conducted by Chaplain J. G. Dixon of Enterprise. President L. R. Jordan of Clarkaburg officiated at the meeting, which proved to be of especial interest to all who attended. During the morning session the enrollment of delegates and unfinished business were taken up, and at noon refreshments were served by the Black Cross Nurse's of Fairmont division. At 3 o'clock the evening session began. Prof. L. R. Jordan delivered an inspiring address, which was so instilled into the hearts and minds of his hearers as to never be forgotten. There was a short talk by the High Commissioner. Hon. Jacob Slappy of Monongah. There were thirteen local divisions represented in this association, and eleven were absent, the association being made up of the twenty-four local divisions. There was no night session, as the programs were not got out in times. However the next convention will be held at Wheeling, where it is hoped all divisions will be represented on January 8, 1923, and enjoy a glorious day. At 5:30 o'clock all attendants departed for their different homes with a new hope in their hearts and minds and sweet memories of a well spent day in the interest of the Negrorace WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec 11 — The railroads of the country have again granted a reduced fee to the members of the Alpha Phi Alpha, who are to attend the fifteenth annual "Ploneer's Convention" of the fraternity, to be held at St. Louis, Mo. December 27 to 31, inclusive. The rate reduction to the convention of the Alpha Phi Alpha is based upon the certificate plan of one and one-half fare for the trip and will apply for members and also for dependent members of their families. It provides that tickets at the regular one-way adult fare be obtained for the going journey on any date from December 28 to 29, inclusive. When ticket is purchased request is made for a certificate, which, upon being validated at the meeting by Norman L. McGhee, National Secretary of the Fraternity, will be accepted with payment of one-half fare for the return ticket. That more and more importance is being attached to the annual meetings of the various Negro college fraternities is seen in the increasing number of prominent members of these organizations who make it a point to attend these gatherings. For the past few years the attendance at the conventions of the Alpha Phi Alpha has grown from 200 in 1919 at Chicago to more than 300 at its last year's convention at Baltimore. From all indications the coming convention of the Alpha Phil Alpha is going to be the biggest and best the fraternity has ever held. Last year it had thirty-two chapters represented at its convention. It now has forty-four chapters upon its roll and a membership of over 2,500. Many chapters that have not had opportunity yet to send delegates to a convention will be represented at St Louis Especially is this to be true of the new chapters at Denver, Colo., Indianapolis, Ind., the University of Iowa, the State College of Iowa, Northwestern University, the University of California, the University of Southern California, and Springfield College. Apparently there will be an overwhelmingly large number of the new chapters represented and each of the older chapters will be sure to have its full quota of delegates and a large num- BLACK CROSS NURSES PRESENT XMAS PURSE TO HON. MARCUS GARVEY SPEND WATCHNIGHT WATCH FOR THE COMING IN OF THE NEW YEAR Service Starts at 10:30, After Regular Sunday Night Service After the regular Sunday night meeting, which included the musical and literary program and the speeches, at Liberty Hall, the vast audience witnessed the presentation of a very handsome money purse by the New York Division of the Black Cross Nurses to Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Organization. After the presentation Mr. Garvey accepted the present in a short, neat speech. Mrs. Grant Chase represented the Nurses and made the presentation. Following this presentation, Captain Glikes, on behalf of New York Universal African Legions, mounted the rostrum and made a presentation of a most beautiful loving cup to Col. Ludwig Harrigan, commandant of the Legions, for his faithful services rendered the past two years. Following are the speeches. New York City Dec. 24. 1922. From the First N. Y. U. A. L to Col.

My heart is no full of joy that I can hardly find words to express myself, therefore I will close, promising you that I shall always be true to the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which gave birth to the Universal African Legion.

Readers of the Negro World are earnestly requested to invite our attention to any failure on the part of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in a Negro World advertisement. PERRY HOWARD SAYS IT IS FALSE W. publish on the front page of The Negro Times today an article by Hon Perry W. Howard, Assistant Attorney-General of the United States, in which he declares that the statement made by the Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary, Mr. James Weldon Johnson, that he was opposed to the adoption of the Dyer anti-lynching bill or did anything to prevent its passage, is absolutely false in every particular. He says he was in favor of the bill, as well as the authorizing of the Liberian loan, and labored hard for the passage of the former. He says that the six Republican Senators who were defeated in the last election were all in favor of the Dyer bill and would have voted for it when put up for passage, and that Congressman Lyton of Delaware, who opposed the bill, was a better and more reliable friend of the race than the Democrat who succeeds him, and who can be relied upon to stand by the Democratic party in Congress in all its work to harass and defraud the race of its just rights. Mr. Howard flays, and justly, we think, the Association for the Advancement of Colored People for dabbling in matters not comprehended in the work of the association, for the luxurious salaries and personal living of Messrs. Johnson, Du Bois and White at the expense of the membership and work of the association, and for the expenditure of thousands of dollars in advertising in white newspapers which give their association and the race no sympathy and support, while ignoring in such advertising the Negro press, which uses unstintedly the propaganda stuff of the association and which are sleepless and tireless in their labors for the rights and interests of the Negro people. We deem it good and timely that Mr. Howard has taken the bull by the horns in the vigorous way that he has, and we are sure the readers of The Negro Times will enjoy and appreciate the straightforward defense of his loyalty to the race and its best interests which he makes. The Association for the Advancement of Colored People and Mr. James Weldon Johnson should go out of the business of misrepresenting men and organizations which they may not care for because they appear to be in the way of Mr Johnson and his Association, when they may not be so at all, and would not appear so to be if Mr. Johnson and his association would attend to the business for which the one is hired and the other chartered. If they imagine that they are big enough to occupy all of the "spotlight" in race thought and effort they have another imagination coming Negro Times. MOTON IS A MENACE! SOME time ago Marcus Garvey made a trip to Dive, and in the course of his travels he met and conferred with the Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. Immediately the Messenger and other elements of the Negro press took it up and exploited it to the utmost. Mr. Garvey was accused of having made an alliance with the Ku Klux Klan. A. Philip Randolph and Chandler Owen, whose intellectual sterility, by the way, is being ingloriously "shown up" by a young journalist, Floyd J. Calvin, who has brains and ideas, even though he rightly refrains from jumping on a soap box on Lenox avenue and abutting to the populace what a good leader he could be if they'd only give him a chance—Randolph and Owen referred to the U.N.I.A as the "Black Ku Klux Klan" and to its president as the "Black Imperial Wizard." Now, Mr. Bocker T. Washington's successor, Mr. Robert Russa Moton, reigning head of Tuskegee, is making a "good will" tour of the Southern States. He goes to white audiences and tells the white folks that he always takes off his hat in addressing white people and always says "Yes, ma'am," and "No, ma'am." He always wipes his shoes before entering a house, and is careful, on entering a white man's home. He knock first at the back door. This Quixotic ignoramus, who ought to be studying syntax in a grammar school, is the individual who thrusts himself on the Negroes of the South as their "leader." Negroes, rebel! Moton is no Messiah. Beware of Moton! He is a menace! It is high time for some one to break the dao on this Moton leadership business! Moton is not fit for leadership! He is selling the birthright of the race for a mess of dirty pigs! We have nothing to gain in adopting a lick-spittle attitude. We three times for a revolt against Mr. Moton. Moton is an advocate of compromise. He is a policy that will keep the Negroes of the South in perpetual distress and subjection. Moton ought to be shorn of all words of leadership. While he is bowing and speechifying on his behalf, four thousands of Negro farmers are selling out and coming to the aid of the reason! Moton is a traitor to the race! The Moton cannot answer, is awed by years of oppression, he is afraid to defend himself and is afraid to speak out against Moton and his ilk. Instead, Moton has been given up his home, tears down his life, monument, and fortress. And Mr. Moton, the "leader" of the race, has been given up and entering back doors as the "hope" of the THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1922 A "WHITE HEART" AN article in the International Society deals at length with the origin, finely illustrated, reveals the Africans, long before the birth of the nationary compositivist, who insisted that was as fine and as beautiful, than the North Africans.

A. to the last He did in the Tidewater section of PORARY C IN an article in the International Studio for December a French writer deals at length with the origin of African sculpture. The article, finely illustrated, reveals the interesting historical fact that the Africans, long before the birth of Lavingstone and the rest of the missionary compassors, who invaded the Dark Continent, had a culture that was as fine and is beautiful, and perhaps in some aspects better than the North Africans. In the arts, carving, pottery, modeling, etc., they showed remarkable skill. As a matter of fact, African sculpture, as seen in museums of Europe, possesses a peculiar individuality of its own, having a heyday of frogs and amphibious reptiles and other African American Negro of today is prone to look down upon his ancestry with rage and contempt. Of course the Negro of our generation is a child of a repressive environment. He forgets all about the ancient glory that was Ethiopia. He is provincial. He does not regard illustrious Negroes unless they were runaway slaves or soldiers or orators and distinguished statesmen like Frederick Douglass, Crispus Attacks Blanche B. Bruce and others who rode on the crest of the pro Negro reconstruction wave. Not, please understand us, that these men were not great, but that the bulk of American Negroes are turned with a smallness of vision. Across the horizons of Africa flourished a great and noble civilization. Nearly archaeologists and others sent out by high tenors and men on universities drop up data relating to this god! The facts for the most part, are within everyone's reach at the museums and public libraries. Still, one bears Negroes giving out to such expressions as "He's got a white man's heart!" "He's the whitest Negro I know," or better yet "He's the whitest man I know!" We are tempted to stop there and let the reader think it out for himself. On the other hand, it is well to trace the beginning of this mental state. Hemmed in by the holwarks of white civilization which, by the way, is on the decline - Negroes subconsciously worship false gods. They are ashamed of their ancestral heritage. They therefore cling to the white man's gods which, in primitive velds like Africa, produce, as Mr. Maran shows us in 'Batonaala,' we disease, decay, lenitiousness and in the black belts of Washington Chicago New York and Philadelphia, produce a hybrid society a society of lust and excesses, bigotry and ignorance passions and a tragic lack of pride in race. Need we go any further? THE PASSING OF MADAME HACKLEY MADAME E. VANITY HACKLEY the singer and musical promoter, passed away recently and was buried in Detroit. Mich. on Tuesday, December 19. Madame Hackley was a woman of remarkable intelligence possessed an attractive personality and a sweet and trained but not very powerful voice. She was favored receive as a singer in Boston, Newport, R.I., New Haven, Conn., New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Nashville Chicago and Detroit twenty and twenty-five years ago. About 1910 Madame Hackley gave up concert work and began to write on music and train singers and choruses. She wrote "Guide to Voice Culture" and "The Colored Girl Beautiful." She trained choruses in folk songs and staged a concert in the Academy of Music, Philadelphia. In November, 1914, she gathered together the singers of the colored churches of Boston and, with a month's training, gave an interpretation of folk songs, productions of Coleridge Taylor, Nathaniel Dett, Harry Burleigh, Rosamond Johnson and the Negro spirituals successfully in Symphony Hall. In Baltimore, Md., she trained the Cosmiopolitan Choral Society under Rev Charles S. Stewart and staged a concert in Albaugh's Theatre. In the early days of 1915 Madame Hackley went to Chicago and started a musical school there. But the World War and illness compelled her to abandon the project. Both as an interpreter of classical music folk songs and Negro spirituals she rendered the race a great deal of service. Word has also reached us that Mrs Nellie Bunion Bent, of New Haven, Conn., passed away in the State of Pennsylvania a few weeks ago. We hope it is not true. Mrs Bent was active in church, literary and racial work in New Haven, Conn. In 1918 and 1919 she wrote the playlet, "When Truth Gets a Hearing" and staged it in some of the churches and popular halls of New Haven and New York. It was a brilliant little play. Mr Allen H Hobbes, of Notfolk N. L. A., answered the last call last October. Early in the days of the U. N. L. A., Mr. Hobbes became agent of the Negro World and president of the local division. He resigned from the latter position early last summer, but remained true and loyal to the U. N. L. A. to the last. He did a great deal to build up the organization in the Tidewater section of Virginia. CONTEMPORARY COMMENT In fighting the Dyer And Landing Bill last week the Democrats showed how effective a filibuster could be. It was no single-handed effort in which one Senator pitted physical endurance against the patience of the Senate. It was clearly conceived and executed and may have been a valuable reason to the La Follette group determined as it is to balk the Ship Subsidy. The Senate is again talking closure. It would be easy enough to end individual filibusters, but it is doubtful whether any closure rule could be devised that would prove effective against a filibuster by a whole party unless Senators were willing to go all the way and accept procedure similar to the House rules. The Dyer bill was bad. So is the Ship Subsidy. So long as the situation is as it is, there is reason for filibustering. But this is the use of a bad tool to do a good job. It does not recommend the filibuster itself If the filibuster were made impossible, the result might prove beneficial to the Senate, to the quality of legislation—and even to the general body of the voters. The Dyer bill is a striking example of a measure so iniquitous and unconstitutional that it might never have been proposed if its advocates had not felt certain that a filibuster would follow. Many Republican legislators know it for what it was, a political gesture, and would have refused support if there had been a particle of danger that it could be enacted. If filibusters were impossible, fewer measures of the kind would be introduced. Senators would feel more responsibility. And the voters might be moved to use more discretion in selecting Senators. As if it, the careless voter is unconsciously depending on Senators from other states. He trusts other voters to protect him from his own folly.—New York. Evening World. A BAD TOOL MOTON'S "GOOO WILL" TOUR Somehow we can't get up much an thusiasm over Robert R. Moton a good wife, out down in Georgia. Of course we hope for its success, same as we hope for the success of any effort calcu- lated to solve the race problem in the North or the South and make the United States, at place 12 live in. According to Lester A Walton's re- port of the tour published in last Sunda- day's "World." Dr. Mo. has ad- ressed thousands of Georgia's citi- zens both white and black. We are certain that he has the co-operation of most of the thinking Negroes of the State. They are always eager to hear him and give him their support. But what of the typical "cracker"? We mean the "cracker farmer" who came to the meeting with the same variety of enthusiasm he attends a circus or anything else which gives him an ex- cuse for a holiday. We mean that "cracker" who drove into town to hear Dr. Moton, with a rope under the seat of his buggy and who would just as soite it around the neck of a human being as to use it to hitch his horse to the post. We mean that prosperous farmer who drove into town to hear Tuskegee's head in his automobile and who would empty his gasoline tank and walk home if an opportunity offered itself to saturate and set fire to the clothing of his next door neighbor. We mean that farmer and his wife, to- gether with his city brother, who year by year send to Washington men opposed to anti-lynching legislation. We mean that cowardly "knight" of that damnable Klan which has set it up as a law unto itself and which drives men and women from their homes. We hope Dr. Moton's message of good will will reach him. WE HOPE! WE HOPE!-Amsterdam News. CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FROM ELKTON, MD BY CALES M. LAWRENCE, M.D. And the angel said unto them, Fear not for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people. More than two thousand years have passed since the arches of heaven rang with the music of the celestial choir as they pealed forth the anthem of the new born king Human care never head before nor since such a glorious burst of heaven's praise as those angels then poured forth touching it in Hebrew speech their native tongue for the tune forgone that these listening shepherds may catch up at once the cradle humm that heaven now chants over the new born Bautiful. The whole earth was moved by the captivating strains of that first Christmas song the shepherds said one to another. Let us now go even unto Bethlehem and see this thing which is come to pass which the Lord hath made known unto us. Not only to the shepherds was herded the birth of the world’s Redeemer, but the Wise Men from the Far East guided by that celestial contemplation, made their way to that lowly manger bed there to behold Divinity slumbering in Humanity and Infinity robed in the infant. These Wise Men we are told, were members of the learned class of the magistrates, the deputy of science, philosophy medical skill and religious masteries in the countries beyond the Euphrates. Tartuus Suetopius and Josephus tell us that in the regions from whence they came there then prevailed an expectation that a great king was to judge. We know also from the calculations of the great astronomer Kepler that at this very time there was visible in the heavens a brilliant temporary star. With the Wise Men let us bend for a moment or two over the place where the infant Hedemer lay. Had they known all about that infant which we now know, had they known that an angelic choir had already sung His birth lading the midnight breces with a rother freight of melody than they had ever wafted through the skies, had they known that in that little hand which lay folded there in feebleness, in that gentle breath that was heaving that infant bosom the power of connipence lay slumbering, that at the touch of the one the blind eye was to open and the tied tongue to be unclosed that at the bidding of the other the wild elements of nature in their stormiest march were to stand still devils to be driven out from their usurped abodes and the dead to come out from the apacheches, had they known that at the death of this Son of Mary the sun was to be darkened, the rocks were to be rent and the graves to give up their old inhabitants, that He himself was to burat the barriers of the tomb and rise in triumph, attended by angel cacort, to take his place at the right hand of the Majesty on high, we should not have wondered at the ready homage which they rendered Him. But they knew nothing of all this. What they did know we cannot tell. We only know that instantly, in absence of all outward warrant for the act in spite of all the most unpromising appearance, they bowed the knee before that undistinguished infant lower than it bent before the haughty Herod at Jerusalem. And that act of worship over, they opened their treasures and presented to him their gifts. On this another anniversary of this most mysterious Birth that finds us just recuperating from the devastating effects of the recent great world conflict, when we are no longer terrorized by the roaring of cannons and the clash of shields, but absorbed in the time-honored custom of giving and receiving gifts may we think of God's great Christmas gift to the world and tune our voices to the music of the angel's choir in the glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will towards men. THE TREND OF THE TIMES Released on the Warner People Press Series Special to The Negro World Martion L. Reed and C. B Jackson are on a pilots of fires in their respective homes last week. In both events the damages were slight. Mine Sadie Cochrane Chadwick lyric soprano of Brooklyn, N.Y. is giving a number of concerts in the Bay Citys this week. She is under the management of her husband, W. H Parrell, who is on the Pantang circuit Mimo. Chadwick is being well received in this her first tour to the coast Mayor James Ralph Jr writes in to acknowledge receipt of an invitation to lead the grand march at the entertainment and dance at the Exposition Auditorium January 1, 1923. Announcement was also made from the local headquarters of the Negro Progressive Club that a record-breaking attendance is expected on this event. Announcement of the program will be made early next week Mr. Chaster H. Rowell, one of the State Railroad Commissioners, is a keen student of the trend of affairs as affects the Negro group throughout the world. By the way, the commissioner tells us that he is going to resign his State job and devote all his time to other affairs. He made quite some comment on recent dispatches stating that a new drive was to be made to enlist the aid of the American Negro in the cause of radicalism and expressed the hope that the movement would fail. He also commented on the failure of the Republican Congress to pass the anti-trenching bill, and concurred in the opinion of the writer that little if any hope could be held out to the American Negro for his continued support of the Republican party. Commissioner Rowell is very hopeful of the future of the Negro in America, and his viewpoint on many questions affecting them are highly illuminating. A new departure has been made by the local branch of the U. N. L. A. in so far as the selection of officers of the association is concerned. They have recently elected C. W. Adama, a local groceryman, to the office of vice-president. Thus they will gain the experience of a business man, an element which is very badly needed not only in the local U. N. I. A. but in all race organizations. Heterofore it has been the policy of all race organizations to elect a lot of "windjammers" charlatans, asophants and whatnots to head them, and the results have been entirely negative. Adams a few years ago bought out the grocery concern of Freeman Brothers, at the corner of Butter and Webster streets, and has successfully conducted a store there since that time. Adams will act as president of the association until the return of Prof J J Adams president who made a trip to Europe recently to attend a meeting of the League of Nations at Geneva. Incidentally Prof Adams will return to San Francisco about the date of this month. Recently the Lazminer of this city published an article in reference to Roland Hayes, great Negro American tenor and the triumphs he is scoring on his European trip. The writer of the article, who is a personal friend of Hayes, points out that not only is Hayes meeting with unparalleled success but is appearing in many places where it would be relatively impossible for white American artists to appear. The writer even goes further and points out the absurdity of the American color line where works of art are concerned. It is not known to the writer from influence the Chicago Defender attains its information, but it certainly was surprising to the Negro population of this State to learn through that publication that our esteemed friend Edward D Mabson our leading local attorney had been selected to the Supreme Court bench of this State. It is certainly what was hoped and worked for but also like the love of Madeline it is not true. Mabson made a great race, but, like the racing chart, says 'also ran.' MR. J. B. DUFF, OF MORON, CUBA. PASSES AWAY I desire to announce the death of Mr. J Bancroft Duff who was a native of Jamaica B W I Mr Duff came to Cuba in 1917 and was employed in the railroad shops in Guantanamo as painter. Leaving that place he went to Camaguy and worked there for some time. After leaving there he came to Moron, a little more than two years ago, and was employed at the Norte Cuba Railroad as chief of the painting department. Mr Duff had been suffering for some time with kidney troubles. In June 1921 he went to Jamaica and was treated by Dr Paddyfoot, and received very good results, which enabled him to return to Cuba in September of the same year. In December again, and he started to treat himself locally, and was also treated by neighboring physicians, accompanied by patient medicines. Some time in May, this year, he consulted Dr H. T. Chamberlain, of Buffalo, N. Y., and after passing letters as to his ailments, the first shipment of medicine reached him in the month of July, and unfortunately, according to directions, he mistook it. He sent for another supply, and he left for Jamaica on August 6, 1923, where he consulted another doctor who (according to a letter he sent his sickness was very serious. During this time he was still in touch with Dr Chamberlain, who sent him the medicine, and was feeling much better. Nothing more was heard of him until Monday November 27 when a cablegram reached the office of his employers. Mr Duff was a member of many friendly societies. Among them were the I U O M F B, the B O A F G F B, and the L O A S A L F B. He was also connected with the Universal Negro Improvement Association and was elected president on November 13, 1921, but owing to ill health could not manage the activities of the organization, but always had it at heart and gave all the advice necessary for the successful working of same, and had always tried to break down the mis-mention of the Judas and doubting Thomases in regards to the movement. On behalf of the Moron Division No 374 we heg to tender our sincere sympathy to his bereaved family.

It was editors' writers' and poet's night at the Carl Van Doren lecture at the 13th Street Library last Wednesday night. In the front row I saw W A. Domingo, Floyd J Calvin, the "Messenger" satirical windjammer, Henry Millard Henry who, I am told, is a poet" William Pickens, the short story writer In our row were Countee P Cullen, poet T Thomas Fortune, editor Daily Negro Times' Miss Emmeine Rose, librarian Geoff Gaylord, artist, Cleveland All reporter for the Harlem Home News W A.

Harris editor "The New York News" Walter F. White literary critic Augustus Granville Dill, business manager "The Crisis" who sported a faming chrysanthemum in his button hole Aubrey Bower author "The Man Who Would Be White Miss Badie Peterson, the poetsa. Mr Van Doren who is literary editor of Century" and professor of English literature of Columbia University talked on "The American Novel" He gave a swift kaleidoscopic review of the works of Fenimore Cooper Herman Melville's "Moby Dick" Hawthorne's "Braille Letter" and a couple of other books we do not quite remember. It was a retracing of the ground covered in his two recent books "The American Novel" and "Contemporary American Novella". After the lecture Mr Van Doren said had he glad to answer any questions the folks had to ask. "Mr Van Doren those two novels 'Birthright' and 'White and Black' don't you think they show a tendency—a kinda opening—" The intrepid Mr Cleveland Allen had broken the ice "Yes I think so" "But Dr Van Doren" it was Mr Alien's exasperating stutter "don't you think Mr Stribling made an awful mistake when he made Peter Siner—— What Mr Stribling made Peter Siner do evidently was familiar to Mr Van Doren so he quickly answered. As a matter of fact if I was on the Century at the time I would have had Stribling change that ending" "Now say that again" said Mr Dill at the conclusion of the lecture as curled puppy like on top of the table boutonniere aglow. "Just say it it makes my heart boil with joy" Down at Atlanta University I attended a commencement—— But there were other questions the folks wanted to ask Mr Van Doren The Alderman for example, tonsora. Charlie-chapped, had a suggestion to offer "Mr. Van Doren: You spoke about a Negro writing a novel showing out his problems and upward struggles Now don't you think a great epic poem—" "Yes, I think so." said Mr. Van Doren. "Something" continued the editor alderman, a mystic glow in his eyes something like Longfellow's 'Evangeline' Something—oh—'moving-butter-showing out the struggles—" "There's a pointer for you," whispered to Cullen pinching his leg "grab it before Mr. Henry runs away with it He's taking notes" Look out One man wanted to know if the white publishers did not as a rule object to featuring ennobling books about the Negro That's the question I had on the tip of my tongue put in Mr Aubrey Bowser in the late-note follow the talk. Orcasus Roy Cohen he teamed the only way he can get in the Saturday Evening Post is to write that dialectic slush he puts into the mouths of Negro college graduates. Dr Van Doren 'Prof Ferris began profundissimo rang out and neared the rafters of Liberty Hall did I say? Dr Van Doren don't think the American public is not quite ready to receive a high class novel about the Negro. Prof Ferris ended the question with a dogged characteristic whine. Other questions whily racial popped up and Mr Van Doren, who is an outspoke liberal and friend of the Negro race disposed of them with a great deal of charm and wit and oftimes humor. On the whole, we enjoyed it tremendously. O. thing we, with our philological car to the ground especially, liked was the way Mr Van Doren pronounced words like "character" and "American." Only those who heard him can appreciate just what I am driving at. Note: We should have said a word about the other folks in the audience apart from the celebrities and near celebrities mentioned. There were at least twelve married women who had books under their arms, eight school teachers, two (the white ones) who slept sonorously when Mr Van Doren began to point out the fictional possibilities of places like the Great Lakes. Also six thoroughly "repressed" ladies a few dusky he-flavors from C. C. N. Y., and one individual who told us confidentially, as we bolted to get our overcoat "Fine lecture, wasn't it? Yes. I liked it very much because I studied the novel down at New York University." Well, wouldn't that— AMERICA By PROP. WM. H. H. HART, A. M. L. L. M.

HOWARD ROASTS DU BOIS AND JOHNSON IN ANTI-LYNCHING CONTROVERSY Assistant Attorney General Says He Has Worked Continually for the Passage of an Anti-Lynching Bill By PERRY HOWARD WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec 18—I have read with amazement the release from the N A A C P under date of December 8. charging that I defeated the anti-lynching bill. I want to denounce the perfidy of those responsible for this release for disjointing my letter and leaving out certain parts, which was intended to make it distasteful. No honorable man would do this, and I challenge them to publish the letter in its entirety. First. I want to say that any statement or intimation that I in any way, directly or indirectly, defeated or contributed to the defeat of the anti-lynching bill is a lie and there is not a same man in the country who believes this, including the man or men who released the article so charging. Second. The reference to the Liberian loan is innuendo, and therefore, unworthy of notice. It is well known by the author of this release that for two years I have worked incessantly, together with other friends, to get an anti-lynching bill on the Federal statutes; and instead of appreciation and co operation on the part of Mr James Welden Johnson our efforts were resented by him because it was interfering with his one aim, and that is to exploit his importance and keep in the limelight. I have every reason to believe that he would prefer that the bill be not passed if it will in any wise dim the lustre of his vanity and that he would not be our activities for the anti-lynching bill, or any other movement have been consistently opposed by Mr Johnson and Mr DuBois with his "Crisis" which he has freely used to bellittle and minify our activities in every way. Quail on Toast I cannot see what places upon Messrs Johnson and DuBois the responsibility of passing the anti-tyranny bill unless it be a popular card to fill the coffers of the N. A. A. C P and give them increased salaries, for they are the most luxuriously salaried gentlemen who are doing charity work whom I know. I know of no colored man perhaps in the country who would not be glad or delighted to have their places, which require no sacrifice, but which on the other hand, furnish every facility for ease and comfort—Mr. Johnson to sit in the gallery of the Senate and look on at the activities, prepared at any moment to step down and take over the pastime of eating an unshack duck or on a toast, while Mr DuBois strokes his Chesterfieldian board and incidentally takes his "Crisis" in hand and fires a desultory shot at a supposed enemy. Of course their release will be published in "The Crisis," but no word in response will ever get on the pages of Mr DuBois' magazine I have no word of conscience for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people per so and its earnest members who mean well and are doing their best, but I do object to these autocrats exploiting themselves at the expense of the association and seeking to belittle those who do not pay homage to them. It has been presumed from the beginning that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was a non-political organization but true to my political faith I can but present the present leaders invariably lining up otherwise and misleading their followers into killing off some of the few friends we had in the Senate I present this with all my soul. I especially present their action toward Ben Carson, who has defended through the activities of the N.A.C. P., and whose friendship for and fidelity to us have never been questioned and in his stead they elected a Senator who already has voted with the Democrats on every roll call where any matter of interest to the Negro was at stake. When the special session of Congress was convened there had been defeated Senators du Pont. Frelinghuysen, Townsend, Kellogg, New France and Calder. This gives us seven votes for the Dyer bill. Then, may I ask by what process of reasoning can we conclude that we are expelling the passage of the anti-lynching bill by defeating those who would vote for it and placing opposite ones in their stead? I have the biology to make for standing by the law of the people who have always stood for those things which will benefit our group. What I have done and am trying to do has been at a sacrifice, but I challenge an leader of the N. A. A. C. P. to show one thing he has done without reward or the hope of reward in fabulous salaries. --- The public will well remember that when I came to Washington Mr. DeBels, with his "Crisis," without investigation or otherwise, undertook to minify the importance of my position, forgetting that he had humiliated the association by wearing out the back steps of Woodrow Wilden seeking a captaincy—not to fight, but to join the other dilettantes in the intelligence Bureau—not to mention his unfortunate "Close Ranks" article. May I ask what credit does Mr. Johnson give to the struggling colored newspapers throughout the country, which, in season and out, labored for an anti-lynching bill? In face of the fact that these papers have worked in season and out for the passage of $1, when the N. A. A. C. P. had $6,000 to spend for advertising, I should oce- IMPORTANT NOTICE All Divisions and Divisional Officers are hereby warned against paying money to Executive Officers, Officials or Representatives from the Parent Body on the Field.

Certainly it was not right for my friend Walter White of the N. A. A. C P., through the influence of my friend Bob Nelson , whose paper Senator du Pont says he has helped to the tune of $18.000 to keep in existence, to import Democratic leaders to Wilmington to defeat Senator du Pont. I s. d no word for Layton, who voted against the anti-lynching bill, but any thinking member of our group would a thousand times prefer to have Layton back in the House for two years and make certain of du Pont in the Senate for six years when we know that du Pont has stood on every roll call where the interest of the race was at stake, instead of having in his stead a man who can be depended upon to vote against us on every roll call despite his protestations of what he would do if elected I feel that Jim" ought to go to these Democrats, whom they helped to elect, and ask them to help pass, the anti-lynching bill, since they have embarrassed us Republicans who were doing the best we could. I think that I am in position to say that the bill would have fared far better if there had been less of Johnson and his bunglesome tactics. Johnson and others used the people's money lavishly under the assurance that this bill would pass, and, upon its failure, he seeks a goal. Instead of having contributed to the defeat of this bill, I was the author of the Gahn bill, introduced by Congressman Gahn, of Cleveland, Ohio, to whom I was introduced by Mr. N. D. Brascher, and had the Gahn bill introduced with a new to forcing the proponents of the Dyer bill to enouch certain fundamental features into their bill to give it teeth. Mr Dyer accepted these when we went before the Judiciary Committee of the House for a hearing Jim' further knows that when the Sixty-seventh Congress recessed in September, on the last day there he met Henry Lincoln Johnson and myself in Senator Lodge's office, where we were all hustling and scurrying, trying to get action on this bill before adjournment. And it was Senators du Pont, France, Lodge, New and others we had busy on this proposition. "Jim" knew all this when he lo touse this dishelical and malicious release which was solely for discrediting my friends and me and bolstering up himself, and when he says that there are astounding revelations of my activities to defeat this bill he takes himself out of the pale and category of decent men in uttering such an infamous falsehood, and I defy him to produce one scintillia of proof to sustain his malicious allegations. The only difference between "Jim" and me on the anti-lynching bill is that he is growing rich while I am growing poorer in trying to put it through. Regardless of whether in the change of changes bad persons, labelled Republicans, crop into office, still I am a Republican without apologies, and if this be treason, then make the most of it MME. CURRIE GRANTED DIVORCE A final decree of divorce was granted by Justice Frank B. Cannon, Jr., in the Supremo Court of the State of New York in favor of Mme.

FERRIS "BLOSSOMED HOURS" by Edward Hillridge Published by Or- chard Hill Press, Croton-on-Hudson, New York. Dr. Edward Howard Griggs has for a quarter of a century been a popular Universal Extension lecturer. He has the happy art of presenting the knowledge that is dispensed in universities in an attractive garb so that THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1922 It will be palatable to the popular mind. He electrified the Free Religious Association in Boston in June, 1800. His lectures in the fall of the year held the audience spellbound. He has also written many books, which have been published by the Orchard Hill Press. The list includes: "For What Do We Live," "Moral Education" "The New Humanism," "A Book of Meditations," "The Philosophy of Art," "The Soul of Democracy," "The Use of the Margin," "Human Equipment" "Self-Culture Through the Vocation," and "Friendship, Love and Marriage." The mantle of Ralph Waldo Emerson seems to fall upon Dr. Griggs' shoulders. "Blossomed Hours," a book of the Mind and Heart, a 251-page book, is the inest product of Dr. Griggs' poem. The poetic gem on the 9-12 leaf—"Rosemary pennons, heart-i-case, rue, cast chasm and towering walls that stand revealed in bare splendor; while the western gull with far-thrown battements stretching into it, is withdrawing into the mystery of over-deepening shadows. It reaches away and away, the sense of space multiplied; the grandeur growing, as the ambattled temples recede and shroud themselves in purple haze. "One more point rounded, and new the eastern basin rises through dull red battements to lavender walls, topped with gray. The silence—broken only by the rising and falling mean of the pines. The dominant impression, that of primal desolation—even as chase when God first said, 'Let there be light!' "Wilderness of weird symbols, tortured into veiled symbols of all that man has dreamed and done; what eternity yet combine with that everchanging beauty Loving and hating And in the dim of Growing today As the poem tames: "The Reel the jagged peak's blue The sun shining tanny; Deep forests, will may ream, Compleat all the density; Summit where she find a home Loom, ice-ternity; Man never can cool tain peaks. Where, mid the speaks." Memories, thoughts and responses true. These are my blossomed hours* apply characterizes the purpose, intent and character of the book. The book consists mostly of meditative essays, varied here and there by a poem of one or two or three or four pages. The essays consist of travel notes, impressions and reflections, written in different parts of the world during the past twelve years and deal with nearly every subject under the sun. They vary in length from seven lines to two pages. The poems, scattered here and there like pearls on a necklace or diamonds on a bracelet, have for their theme "The Rocky Mountains," "Pilliliment," "Did She but Know," "Erasmus," "Italy Calia," "Come, Oh, Come," "Sunset at Asial," "Four Faces," "Gloriano Bruno," "Italy Called," "Marcus Aurelius," "Autumn in Everything," "Gethsemane, Alone," "The Call of Arcadia," "The Hope of Spring," "The Plain," "Gray Is the Cake," "Heart of the Cake," "The Cup of the Darker Drink," "Lincoln," "Spring," "A Sunset on Lake Ontario," "Field Flowers," "Party," "The Lady of Lake Lucerne," "Her Klaa," "With Some Carnations," "Edinburgh Castle," "The Lost Cause," "The City," "A Thunder Shower," "In Memory of Mrs. I. E. U," "The Life Stake," "Awakening," "Irish Poetry," "To A. C. G," "Age" and "An Old Dedication." Reflections upon human life and destiny, descriptions of places visited in Colorado, California, New York city, Italy, Texas, Washington, D.C. literary criticism of Schittler, Ibson, Peer Geyt, Rosersholm, Hedda Gabler, Ploer Louys, Oscar Wilde, Bernard Shaw, Goothe, Dante, Emerson, Loli, and Shakespeare, and philosophic dissertations upon Comte, George Kliot, Harriet Martincau, Aristotle, Masterlinek, Emerson, Western America, Goothe, Ibson, Voltaire, Louis XIV, Louis XV, Florence, The Slisie Madonna, Michael Angelo, Papheal, Tonyson, Browning, Mozart, Boothoven, Nophocles and Aschylus, Thoreau, politics, war, Rodin, Plate, the age of machinery, Sarah Bernhardt, St. Jerome, Shakespeare, Lafcadio Hearn, Dante, the peace conference, great literature, French writers, St Francis and Jesus are the themes of the essays. The wide range of subjects discussed in the brief essays indicate that they are the product of a man who has read widely, traveled extensively, observed keenly and thought deeply. A great deal of scholarship and philosophy is packed and compressed within the slender pages of the book. But the most marvelous thing about the book is the style. Dr Griggs seems to blend the limpid simplicity of Newman with the gorgeous eloquence of Ruskin. The Grand Canyon The description of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado gives the reader some idea of the style and descriptive power of the author. Dr. Griggs says: "To the east the abyss is misty darkness, with shadowy cathedral dimly limited in the mysterious gloom. To the west stretches away the irregular chasm, lighted by the early sun, tier on tier of heterogeneous and recoding palesides—red, yellow, brown and gray, piled upon these ten thousand Asteroid and Egyptian temples, doorless and windowless, deserted for asons, crumbling in barbaric desolation; while over all is the radiant and cloudless blues, with the intense light deepening the colors and shadows. "How small Man seems beside the tortured splendor of this gigantic abyss. What sudden convulsions of Nature to lift these strata, what ages upon ages to cut them down and carve them into tortured splendor of this gigantic abyss. "It is as if Nature had combined here all the towering and colossal forms she carves in the mountains of this Western wilderness and then had painted them with all the colors, the lights and shadows she creates from stone and soil, from sun and air. "Titanic temple, eternal, but crumbling in colossal ruin, with the wild cry of the pine trees behind, primeval desolation under transforming abyssal chaos, abyssalorous and haunted forms; an informal urge in cunning caught and crystallized in an eternal moment just before the cosmos is born. How the human imagination staggers under the overpowering weight of demonic majesty! "Now, in the late afternoon, it is the HAIR LIKE POLISHED EBONY cast chasm and towering walls that stand revealed in bare splender; while the western gull, with far-thrown battlements stretching into it, is withdrawing into the mystery of overdeepening shadows. It reaches away and away, the sense of space multiplied; the grandeur growing, as the ambattled temples recede and shroud themselves in purple haze. "One more point rounded, and new the eastern basin rises through dull rod battlements to lavender walls, the grey, alliance-broken only by the rising and falling pines the pines. The dominant impression, that of primal desolation—even as chase when God first said, 'Let there be light!' "Wilderness of weir forms, tortured into veiled symbols of all that Man has dreamed and done; what eternity ye combine with that everchanging beauty of color, shape and shadow! How transient, Man's temples, beside the rock-firm permanence of your breeding domes! The falling rain drops and the soft-moving waters leave no trace; but the aeonian flood hare sculptures what no gigantic engine could build, no swift passing human hand achieve. Mysterious Nature, silent-moving, mighty mother of life, all the Titan tortures of your God-kissed breast stand here revealed in rebuking majesty and wordless speaking grandeur to the fall of Time!" But we must not overlook the poetry which is scattered with a lavish hand through this volume. Dr Griggs is not only a prose-poet who, like Rukin, Emerson, like Marvel, Curtis and Du Bois, can write prose that pulses with the beauty and rhythm of poetry, but he can write real poetry, poetry that is light, radiant and rhythmic and poetry that is profound and meditative. Take the poem "Edinburgh Castle". "Edinburgh Castle" The stream of human life flows heedless on Through avenues where lofty mansions stand. And, through dim alleys where the old town lies And quaint tall houses lift their time stained fronts. Above it all the ancient castle glooms, Crowning with dark-gray stone the grass-grown rocks. Think how within it human passions throbbed! Queen Mary's womanhood with its great thirst For power and love and joy, the sainted queen's Religious fervor still ensymbled by the little chapel with its lowly roof. The somber beauty of the castle still Looks down over winding streets and houses tall; But where are now the human hearts that beat. That loved and hated thirsted and enjoyed? The stream of human life flows heedless on. Loving and having in manion hall And in the dim dim ladies of the town Crowning today as in Fugatone years. The poem, "The Rocky Mountain" "The Rocky Mountains" The jagged peaks climb towards the sky's blue dome; The sun shines down with hot intensity; Deep forests, where untamed beasts may roam; Clothe all the lower slopes with density; Summites where gods of Greece might find a home; Loom, ice-torn symbols of immensity; Man never can conquer the high mountain peaks; Where, mid the awful silences, God speaks. II Grandeur and majesty to lift the heart; Beauty in somber trees to rest the eyes; Ice patches whence the glacial waters start; Swift leaping where the glowing cataract flies; Upon the rock the tiny chipmynk dart from cloud to cloud; Across the somber valley's rain-swept end The echoing roll of thunder crashes loud; The wakened pines beneath the tempest bend; Then lift their century crests and straighten proud; They sing the eternal music of the spheres— Earth's melody that fills the eyes with tears. IV As swiftly as it came, the rain doth cease; The clouds rest softly on the mountain height; The winds that laughed are still, and all is peace; The western summits glamour with roar light; The high peaks brightened with the storm's release. Glow still, as over them soft descends the night; While the full moon, in growing majesty; Floods all the scene with light of mystery. V what relief to weary heart and spirit fills, Some of the beauty and witchery of Tennyson and some of the grandour and solidarity of Byron may be found in these two poems. "Blossomed Hours" is a good book to take along as a pleasant companion on a journey or a hunting trip. And if one desires to present a book to a friend who likes poetry, brilliant description, eloquence and distilled philosophy, he will look a long while before his will find a better book than "Blossomed Hours." The reader may wonder if Dr. Griggs is the brilliant writer and the superb poet that I say he is, why is he not better known? He is not a sensational writer and not a spectacular poet. The sensational writers and poets are in the limelight today, but Griggs may be read and reread when the sensational writers and poets have passed on to oblivion. MADAM IDA B.

Hughes, superintendent of the Bureau of Negro Writi under the Board of Home Majors and Church Extension of the Methodist Episcopal Church, meeting in Philadelphia recently, was one of the features of the program, according to officials of the board. Dr Hughes, himself a Negro who has won prominence in the work of his denomination, of which more than 400,000 members are Negroes, followed the rule adopted for all bureau heads of the board, by selecting a single conference territory of the church's work as a type and giving it full attention throughout his address. A selected lot of stereopticon pictures thrown on a screen made Dr. Hughes' remarks especially effective. The Upper Mississippi Conference was chosen as an example of the work for Southern Negroes carried on by the prison under the Methodist Board of Home Missions and Church Extension. Pointing out that the Negro population of the State of Mississippi outnumbered the whites by $1,000. Dr Hughes showed that only $50,000 was appropriated for Negro education in the State by the last Legislature. Negro labor, according to the Farm Bureau of Sardinia, declared Dr. Hughes, produces 1,000,000 bales of long staple cotton annually in Mississippi. Mississippi Delta Methodism Has Flowished in the Mississippi Delta, an area of 6,280 square miles, Negroes perform all per cent. of the farm work. Hire Methodism has flourished," said Dr. Hughes. "Six years ago we had 1,200 members; today 4,024; 1,000 Sunday school pupils than, 2,775 now; twenty-ale churches then, and fifty-ohght churches now. The Board of Home Missions and Church Extension of the Methodist Episcopal Church maintains two summer schools in the Far South for the training of rural pastors. Of the 118 ministers serving in the Upper Mississippi Conference, fifty-five have at one time or another registered in our rural schools and thirty-two charges now have some type of weekly and recreational program. An example of what a trained leader is doing today in this section is our pastor, A. G. Marshall, at Tuskegee, Miss. In 1918 the church was a frame building valued at $1,500, ministers salary, $500; benevolent giving, $62; membership, 163; average attendance at Sunday school, thirty-five. Today there is a modern brick church valued at $14,000, a one-acre play-ground, a social and recreational program, the minister's salary is now $1,000, benevolent giving, $300; membership, 228; average Sunday school attendance, 120; representing a gain in all lines of over $80 per cent. "During the centenary period the Board of Home Missions and Church extension has provided $33,888 to supplement pastors' salaries and $35,317 to aid twenty-seven church buildings and messages needed for Negro Christian expansion in the South. Under the inspiration of this program the Wosley Methodist Episcopal Church of Greenwood, Miss., has been built and when complied will have Sunday school rooms, club rooms, gymnasium, concert room, library, twenty-one rooms in all, and will be the best equipped Methodist Episcopal Church for Negroes in the South." Dr. Hughes published several other Negro churches in the conference, the unusual progress of which he declared to the typical of the Negroes' response to the religious appeal. Dr. Hughes was formerly area secretary of the New Orleans area of the Methodist Episcopal Church, under shipwright Wilmil P. Thirkield, now of Mt. Olea. New Orleans is now under Richard M. Jones, colored, the first prime bishop elected to the full rank of bishop in the Methodist Episcopal Church, at the last General Conference, at Des Moines in May, 1830.

Four or five years ago Negroes were a group of disorganized people the world over living under the same soquels as our foreparents during the days of slavery. From this discrimination we were only a bunch of segregated people. We had lacked the art of unity, charity and fidility one towards another. We imagined to ourselves that it seemed impossible for us to achieve anything worth while from and by our own skill. But since the rise of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its other co-operations one can notice the great metamorphoses with regards to the modern Negroes everywhere, especially those who had grasped the notion of being organized. Now, we do not want to make the past our concentratevie object. Lot bygones be bygones. Let us think of the present and aim for the future, and as we have entered into a new year, a year we trust that will bring us new courage, zeal and determination to fight our ay through the many obstacles of life for freedom, right and justice. Therefore, it is expected that each and everyone who formed this great family of 400,000,000 strong, is to do his or her bit, especially we, the 4,500,000 members of this great organization—let us show to those that are still outside the fold, doubting and criticizing, that by our social, educational, moral and financial prowess we shall place the flag of the Red, the Black and the Green prominently amidst the green foliage of Africa, ever waving in its tropical breezes. In order to do these things, let us throughout this year 1923 gird on us the armor of determination so as to protect our integrities; protect our heads with the helmet of courage so as to ever keep clamoring for our own; cover our chest with the breast-plate of loyalty and sincerity and with the sword of racial pride and braveness in our hands, let us ever keep fighting for the mark so as to show to the democratic world those people of our own race who for their own selfish and gormandizing greed endeavoring daily to rob us and retrograde our ideas of the U. N. I. A., that the slogan, "Africa for the Africans" is no fairy-tale as they fanaked, because the new Negroes will let it be essential. Let us all then go forward upholding the hands of our honorable leader, Marcus Garvey, and his true-hearted associates in all the capacities that tend to make us a better people. Let us support the Black Star Line Corporation, the Liberian-Construction Fund and the African Redemption Fund. Let us also give our intellectual support in order to foster, the doctrines of this organization among Negroes anywhere and everywhere. We must then be up and doing with hearts for any fate, knowing if we be but keep firm and true the harvest of our labor will be crowned with joy and happiness in the future to come. May, God help us, then, to be faithful and true to the U. N. L. A. to the end. R. THEO. WEBLEY. Cayo Mambi, Oriente Rep. de Cuba. New Year's Day, 1922. LOVE SONG The rain is heavily falling. The sun, health the cloud, is resting. The heat is fast shaking. The scorching trees are smiling. Fresh lyeses are gaily blowing. Chaise my heart, now, beats snow. Dazzling mine, with love for you. RHEUMAT.SM BY THEO A. TOBIN, D. C., Ph. C. Rheumatism is an acute or chronic inco-ordination of nerves, muscles, articulations, membranes or bones. Its distinctive feature to the patient is pain and objectively is manifested by local fever redness, swelling, stiffness and sometimes deformity. There is an inflammation or excessive heat in the nerve substance, the nerve sheath or the tissues at the periphery of the nerves. The large joints are usually affected and they become swollen, the fluid around the joint becomes thickened and its secretion diminished and the joint becomes stiff. The medical fraternity and investigators have made a very careful study of rheumatism and have spent much time and effort in trying to determine the actual cause of rheumatism, and the popular belief is that rheumatism is caused by the excessive retention of uric acid in the body, some say it is produced by the accumulation of lactic acid or by the presence of micro-organisms, and all effort toward treat- ment of rheumatism is by the general premise of administering some combination of chemicals which would neutralize the acid. Now arises the question. If an excess of uric acid lactic acid or microorganisms is responsible for rheumatism, why is there an excess? Normally there is a certain amount of uric acid in the blood, also lactic acid in the system, but when the amount is in excess, does it not show that there is something wrong somewhere? The liver is the principal organ in the formation of uric acid. When it functions properly it produces the right amount. So it is only when it does not function properly that uric acid is formed in excessive quantities. The same is true of lactic acid. An excessive amount of lactic acid is the result of improper oxidation in the tissue cell. If oxidation takes place normally it eliminates the lactic acid, if it does not, there is an excess. Now that the excess of uric and lactic acid causes rheumatism, and the cause of the excess is traced to the liver and to lack of elimination in the body, why administer some combination of chemicals that will neutralize the acid, which is the effect of an abnormal liver? As long as the liver is abnormal, will it not continue to produce uric acid in excess? On the kidneys as the principal excretory organs depends the function of maintaining a normal elimination. If the kidneys do not function properly elimination cannot be normal, and if elimination does not keep pace with production, excessive amounts will accumulate. So if the liver and kidneys that are not working normally are the principal cause of rheumatism, what is it that made them below normal? Chiropractic philosophy explains it in the following way. Every organ and tissue in the body is supplied with vital energy through the nervous system. No long as there is no interference in the flow of vital energy to any organ in the body the organ is normal and does its work normally, but if there is an interference, the organ not getting its normal amount of vital energy cannot be normal. It gets weakened, is unable to do its function properly, loses its resisting power and is therefore unable to resist any outside factor that may attack it. The only place where there could be a direct interference of transmission of the vital force is at the spinal column, where the nerves emit through the intervertebral foramina. If one of the vertebrae gets out of alignment it presses against the nerve, thus shutting off partially the vital force so necessary to that particular organ Chiropractors claim and have demonstrated the fact that by relieving the pressure on the nerves by straight Chiropractic adjustments normal transmission is re-established and the organ, again getting its normal supply of the vital energy, will in time become normal and will perform its function normally. THE ENEMY There a drought in the Eden of my heart. And my spring of trust is dry; The sod is parched, the vine is red. The trees are bare and sad, And nobody knows. Fire sweeps over this sacred spot And burns the elms to dust; My garden is now like a desert place Without the sign of a shrub— By HATTIE E. JOHNSON Eastontown, N. J. Two men went to the temple To pray to God one day. One of them was a Publican And one a Pharisee. The Pharisee was all puffed up With pride and self-conceit. He didn't feel he needed to Be humble at Christ's feet. He told the Lord how good he was How many times he prayed. How many times he fasted. How many tithes he gave. He says, "I'm glad, dear Saviour I'm like no other man— Extortioner, Adulterer, Or even this Publican." The Publican, who stood far off, Was very and indeed. He realised his sinfulness. And felt so much in need. He would not even lift his eyes Toward the heavenly skies. For so unworthily he felt And tear drops filled his eyes. He said, O. God, be merciful Until a man like me. For I am burdened down with grief. Do, please, show sympathy. Lord, I confess that I have sinned, And humbly now I bow. And ask of Thee forgiveness. Won't you forgive me now? The Lord looked down in pity I upon this humble man. For well well knew the meekness Of this poor Publican This man went from the temple Quite justified indeed, Because the Lord had blessed him In his great hour of need. Those of us who are puffed up With pride and self-conceit, Exalt ourselves on pinnacles, Some day shall meet defeat But if we follow Jesus, Quite humble we must be, Meek, patient and kind-hearted, From exaltation free The Lord will say, "Good servant, I am quite pleased with thee; I'll have thee come up higher. "Mid principalities." THOUGHTS Through the night of dark oppressi Through the struggle fierce and long A race of men are weking To the intrigues of the strong We sense the wiles they're using Through politics and graft We see the chain they're fusing In their unholy craft. But warned, we're up and doing. Fighting madly for our right. Justice and law pursuing In the uneven fight And surely we will conquer Though the strife be hard and long Triumphant, aye, triumphant; In our battle with the strong. For God is with the weakest, His arm is so outstretched, To circumvent the meekest, And to aid us in His might. We need but do our duty To our country and our God. Live lives of love and beauty Nor droop, nor sleep, nor nod. And some day Right will triumph And Oppression will be crushed. Then men shall see more clearly, When war and strife are hushed. Then we shall all be equal, Nor Black, nor White shall count, Nor color have a sequel In Right's eternal mount Till then we ask no quarter Of those who stress and burn. We have no wish to barter With those who hold us down. We'll carry on our warfare. We'll strike at every foe. We'll carve our way to freedom. As inch by inch we go. Then up and at them, black men, Nor cease till death o'rtake. To blaze your way to Freedom, Till Wrong beneath you quake. You've got the making in you, Of warriors brave and bold. The blood of kings flow in you, Your cause must ne'er grow cold. In manly fight there's honor, When a cause is just and right. Oppression has no place here When twelve million men can fight Let us muster all our forces, And concentrate our might. To break the back of Serfdom And show white men the Light. And finally my Kingsmen. Let Justice be your guide. Let Patience be our watchword, And then let God decide. We know that He will aid us In our sight for Liberty— But we'll die are we surrender What to us is more than Life.

Dec 27.—All St. Louis awaits with growing delight the coming of the representative colored students from the leading colleges and universities of the United States for the annual conclave of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity to be held at St. Louis, Mo. December 27 to 31, inclusive, 1922. The annual convention of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, with a membership of over 2,000 and with 44 chapters stretching from Harvard University, at Cambridge, Massachusetts, to the University of California, at Berkeley, and including such schools as Cornell, Columbia, Yale, Howard, Lincoln, the University of Pennsylvania, Virginia Union University, Moorehouse College, West Virginia Collegiate Institute, Willerford University, the University of Iowa, Chicago University, Denver University and practically every leading institution of learning in America, has now become the meeting place of the flower of the Negro college men, and a place where discussion is had by those men of the problems confronting the Negro of today. It was out of a convention of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity that sprang the idea of the Dio to high school go to college movement which has done so much to arouse great interest in education and which has received commendation and approval on all hands. According to information received by the National Secretary of the Fraternity, Norman L. Methice of Washington, DC, not less than 600 members of the Alpha Phil Alpha are expected to take advantage of the reduced rates recently granted by the railroads of the country to the members of the fraternity who attend the St. Louis convention.

A BANNER DAY IN THE HISTORY OF BARBADOS High Commissioner Burrows of Trinidad while on his vacation stormed Barbados with his eloquence. This was a banner day in the history of Barbados. Under the auspices of the above-named chapter the commissioner spoke at the London Electric Theatre where a small audience of about 200 persons was gathered. The commissioner, seeing the unfavourable condition of Barbados, took for his subject Jesus the Christ and the Attitude of the New Negro. He also pointed out the state of lethargy in which Barbados tried, and advised them to seek a new way to future greaters. We therefore commemorate Commissioner Burrows as one of the noblest and most diplomatic leaders of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and as a sight of inspiration to the unborn generation. We regret very much that he was not appointed to Barbados. With the very best that she has for a free and redeemed Africa, I remain yours fraternally. GORDON VARWOOD Executive Secretary. West Dur. Division Chapter No. 7 Barbados, B. W. I TYRANNY OF THE EDUCA- TION BOARD OF BARBADOS The Education Board of Barbados has been diplomatically forcing schoolchildren of Barbados to dig cornholes and fork fields. This method tends to create an iden of inferiority in the minds of the children, which invariably continues until maturity. There is no shortage of labor, but the planters will not pay a living wage to the field workers. Children should not be permitted to do such work simply because they are black. Nevertheless, our proud and haughty schoolmasters and schoolmistresses humbly acquiesce to this deplorable condition. They have not enough backbone to register a protest, but from now on our eyes will be on them. SPY EYE. Barbados NOTICE TO ALL DIVISIONS The tailoring department of the U. N. L.

So many of the people of the Negro race, especially the American Negroes, declare that Garveyism is absurd and impractical. There is nothing absurd or impractical in Garveyism if we study it. The sum and substance of his teachings are: Know thyself—know that thou art a man endowed with all the faculties of other men, and, given the opportunity, you can do what the other does. Our critics say his program is impossible because Africa is owned by the great nations of Europe. We will grant that without comment save to say that great nations today are weak nations tomorrow. However that may be the Negroes do not and govern Liberia. Why cannot the Negroes of the world join hands and make Liberia a nation among the great nations? Liberia was founded expressly for this very purpose, so that the Negro, like other branches of the human race, might reveal himself to the outside world as capable of efficient nation building. It is indeed humiliating to the Negro race to see the president and statesmen of their republic going from one money market to the other in Europe and America, with hats off and hands behind, as it were, begging for a loan. When Negroes of America bought millions of dollars of Liberty Bonds in America, why cannot we do the sum to make Liberia a respected and prosperous nation* There is no reason in the world why Liberia should be a beggar nation while she is gleaning under the wealth of her natural resources. About eighteen years ago Japan was in a similar condition to Liberia, but since that time she has advanced to the extent of being one of the greatest nations of the world. Fellow members of the Negro race, awake! What man has done, man can do again SAMUEL F BOND. President of Denver Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Office, 2807 Welton street.

SAN FRANCISCO ARRANGING MONSTER MEETING TO WELCOME DELEGATES The San Francisco Division No. 148. U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. is making great preparations to welcome to this city the four distinguished sons of Africa who so ably represented the Negro peoples of the world at the League of Nations conference, held at Geneva, Switzerland. Already one of the largest halls in San Francisco has been procured for the occupation, the California Hall, at Polk and Turk streets, and the Committee of Arrangements is leaving no stone unturned to make this meeting a huge success. The men are: His Highness Hon. G. O. Marke, of Africa, Hon. Sir William Sherrill, of the United States; Hon. Sir Jean Joseph Adams, of Haiti, and Hon. Sir James O'Meally, of Jamaica, B. W. I. These men are expected to arrive and speak at the above-mentioned hall on Sunday afternoon, December 21, at 1 o'clock sharp. At said meeting these men will give their report of their accomplishments of their mission to the peace conference. Sir Jean Joseph Adams is no stranger to this city, being president of the San Francisco branch of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. The division is indeed proud to know of the noble service he has rendered with the other gentlemen for the good of the race. We await the arrival of these worthy gentlemen with out-stretched arms and great anxiety to extend our gratitude to them, for they deserve merit. B. A. S. San Francisco Div. 148. SCHOOLMASTER WRITES FROM CAMAGUEY, CUBA December 6. 1922. Editor of the Negro World Dear Sir: As our object is to promote Negro greatness in order that Negro prestige may maintain its sought-for standard, I am asking you for space, in your weekly newspaper in order that some divalional officers may realize that a candle is not bought to be put under a bushel, but on a candlestick that all may see the light, and not, like Walpole of old, try to trample on youth, ambition and educational enthusiasm, because he perceived that the young politician excelled him in certain respects. Now thrice is he armed that has his quarrel just. I. as a fact, am not a financial member of the division, Clergo De Avila No. 78, owing to present embarrassments, and my recent abode in the town, but as a schoolmaster and a Negro, I feel it a duty conferred upon me to give any possible assistance for the elevation of my race. Sunday, December 3, was a revival of the Ciego De Avila branch, as it had nearly ceased to exist. As a rule when I attend a general meeting, I would always say something toward the improvement of the association. Well, then, it is sufficient for you to believe what bounding enthusiasm I must have felt on such an occasion, especially when there were present children from my school, some of whom resisted, and further, when the secretary so forbly referred to the fact that the leaders of the people are the teachers, the doctors, and the lawyers. Yet, when I naked leave to say a few words on educational enthusiasm as a means of encouraging parents and children, I was refused by the chaplain on a plea that there was no room for me. I hope at some future time, however, to be privileged to address the division when it has more time to spare. If I have been the holder of a Cambridge certificate at the age of fifteen and a successful schoolmaster on the island of Barbados, and am not voiced in Division 78, then I compare myself to a hidden treasure. Let us Negro learn to set aside segregation and cling to unity, for a house divided against itself cannot stand. Youra obediently. J. C SMITH. Clego De Avila, Province Camaguey. MERRY CHRISTMAS GREET- ING TO THE NEGRO RACE We all ought to be thankful to God for our great leader, the Hon. Marcus Harvey, and to our delegates who bring to us good tidings from across the sea. Tours truly. MRS. A. B. WALLACE and MRS. S. P. WILLIAMS. Box 247, Spring Valley Road, Hacken- sack, N. J. GREETINGS FROM THE FIRST NEW YORK We, the officers and members of the First New York Legion, do hereby extend to you our hearty greetings for the new year. We hope that this year will bring to us success along every line; we wish for a better understanding and more co-operation by which means we will be able to achieve the aims as set forth by our noble organization. We in the past year have endeavored to do the best we could in furthering the cause; we promise to do in the future that which we have done in the past. We are mighty proud to have a friend Like you to send this to. Although it's hard to find a wish That's good enough for you; But "New Year greetings" is the best As everybody knows. So with hearty greetings for you. Maj. A. Fredricks, Regimental Adjutant New York, Dec 18, 1922. SELF-DEPRECIATION The Editor of The Negro World. Dear Mr. Editor:— The attached manuscripts contain an attempt as disclosing for your many readers a few facts relating to the unrelenting stigma of the forces which are at work more than ever now trying to dispossess us of our being, and which have succeeded very far, but happily not too far, in producing among some of us the greatest of human maladies, self-depreciation. The U N. I. A. has done and is doing well in counteracting this ill, and especially the editorial columns of The Negro World, so pregnant with deep philosophical thought. Let us all hope that this good work will fully tilt the old shell and metamorphose upon the stage of action a creature worthy of his being. Believe me to be C. HOWARD BLACKMAN. 2221 South Dearborn街, Chicago Editor's Note: We were crowded for space when we ran twelve pages. And we are still more crowded running ten pages. Mr. Blackman and other writers have sent us nuggets of thought that we could not publish because they were too long, and we did not desire to mutilate the articles by cutting and condensing them. We hope our contributors will try not to exceed a half a column. We will try, however, to publish Mr. Blackman's article next week. AN APPEAL FOR THE NEW- BERN, N. C., FIRE SUFFERERS Editor Narm World: I beg that you will kindly make an appeal for help from churches, benevolent institutions and the general public in behalf of the unfortunate and suffering people of Newbern, N. C., who are the victims of the devastating fire which swept that city recently, destroying forty city blocks and more than one thousand homes in the colored section of that city, and left three thousand homeless. These people need immediate help. Every day of delay is one of added suffering. The Newbernian says: "Practically all of the victims had their all destroyed, many of them having caught in their possession now but the clothing on their backs and a determination to make good if given a chance. Still they are trusting in the Almighty and looking around for a chance to go to work. Think of these people in this bleak December weather: some without friends, others almost naked, some hungry, others without money, and still others almost without love. We cannot love God without loving our neighbor. To feed the hungry, clothes the naked, house the homeless are some of the ways in which we can help. These works of charity and mercy the Master did, and He hids us "do likewise." Tomorrow may be our day of distress. "No man knoweth what a day may bring forth." All contributions may be sent direct to Rev. R. I Johnson, West Street Graded School Newborn, N. C., who is chairman of the colored section of the Fire Relief Committee, and under whose approval and indorsement I act. Yours for suffering humanity, THOS. H. KNIGHT. 2209 Seventh Ave., New York. TO MEMBERS OF UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSN., A MERRY XMAS ROBT. L. PORTER, Scapt.-Gen. The season's greetings to all workers for Negro freedom under the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green. This Christmas finds us firmer than over in the faith that success will ever attend our efforts. The obstacles which the enemy places in our way are but similar to those they placed in the way of the Man of Nazardin as he journeyed up Calvary. But as Christ came out victorious over his enemies, so will the Universal Negro Improvement Association ride to success on the wave of opposition. The way of a reformer is hard. The course is often mapped out through many pains, but the realization of the things which the reformer holds dear fully compensate for any hurt he may suffer in attaining them. We are reminded on such an occasion as this of Luther, Robert Emmet and Denmark Vesay. These souls, like the matchless Savior, give up all they counted dear in order that those who followed after them would not find it necessary to suffer as they suffered. We trust that this Christmas will find more of us imbibing a little more of the spirit of Him who never lost a battle because He never lost an opportunity to serve humanity with the spirit of unselfishness. Christ said: "Let him who would follow Him take up the Cross." We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association say, "Let those who want freedom pay the price of freedom—sacrifice, toll and sometimes death." Pew will be called upon to pay the price of death, but the least we can do is to give of our means so that those on whom the large burden will fall will not feel that they have labored in it. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has many reasons to be happy this Christmas. The tremendous increase of its membership and influence throughout the world—and this often in the face of great opposition—as itself sufficient to make us glad. In wishing you, our members, a Mer.) Christmas we further desire that the good Master will give you renewed strength to continue in the work to which you have so nobly set your hands.

Drummond from the association. I beg to answer that the Los Amates division did not know that Mr. W. M. Brown had such despotic power in viven in him. I beg to inform the readers of The Negro World. Mr. Drummond was never tried before the Advisory Board of this division. Consequently Mr. Brown could have no legal right of authority to dismiss Mr. Drummond from the association. This I am sorry to say, is one of the many unconstitutional acts of Mr. Brown, and it helped to make him what he is now—an ex-president. Mr Drummond, on the other hand, has since been unanimously elected as first vice-president. Your for the redemption of Africa. DUDLEY JAMES. President.

Different Negro associations have been canvassing the people, asking them to testify against Mr. Garvey. They have organized opposition meetings in different centers under the caption, "Garvey Must Go!"

My joy might remain—peace I leave with you. The world today is absorbed in the rush for gold and power. Men of the time are determined to make the most of the hour and of the world, while it is theirs to enjoy, and as power and money seem the two things necessary to this and they are sought persistently and eagerly. There is nothing wrong in seeking power and gold, providing the "almond pure element of selflessness has been eliminated, but this is where the rule comes. I usually when men seek power and wealth God or Christ is put out the power. As this new year approaches let us consider the legacy hegoulted to us by the Christ. It is ours to possess, let us before claim it. "I my Joy might Remain Joy is as hastling as its giver God providing we seek it in a right manner By this I mean that the prime object for which one should live is not the material advancement that shall come to him, but his desire to perpetuate an ideal born of 'good or God'. When we spend 'ourselves in the interest of others, there comes to us a real joy which springs from within—a joy that is fruitful in its contagion. This joy cannot be taken from you. It is your "sole possession"; because it came in a manner found only as you have sought the truth. It came because your measurement of life was justice and un-entirely loyalty to a humble cause. It came because you gave yourself that others might come to the place in their experience where the great joy of Christ might flood their creatine dark lives. The process of possessing this joy may be slow and some what tedious, but the New Negro will continue to labor until it is his. The bidity of the past seeking of vain and deceitful pleasure being out the joy that lasts, but it is pleasure of a moment in whose wife may follow man) hard dreams. This legacy is worthy of striving thereafter. For men of old, who sought it and found became powerful and independent. Listen to Peter singing in his joyous mood as a needy man begged of him "Silver and gold have I none but such as I have give I unto thee in the name of Jesus walk."

"Whilo the world has been torn asunder with unrest a deep-settled peace has enveloped me because I knew in whom I believed and am persecuted that He hath committed into my hand power and wealth. It was true because they sought to bring peace to this world through the channels of right and justice.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1922 DESDE LAS HERÓICAS MONTANAS DE CUBA por La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra 54-56 Oeste, Calle 135, Cludad de Nueva York, N. Y. PRO. M. A. PIQUEROA, Editec. Después de haber revisado detenidamente el hermoso trabajo "Ecos de la Republica de Colombia" por el señor Luis Carlos Pizarro, publicado en este semanario, en el cual expeñ su autor el medio más eficaz para la propagación en su país del sublime ideal sustentado por la gran Asociación Universal para el Delanto de la Raza Negra, quiero, por un momento, ocupar la mente del honore Negro a fin de que este pueda robustecer la hlosofia de "lo queter ser." Nuestra Raza en Tiempo de Navidades. El Universo Entero Debe Aprender a Amar Segun Las Enseñanzas del Cristo. El Hombre Blanco del Presente, ¿Le Crucificaria de Nuevo? 'La Misericordia Parcece Haber Sido Olividad. Paz en la Tierra y Felicidad a Todas los Seres de Buena Voluntad "Feliz quien haya su trabajo en la vida, no necesita otra bendición, tiene un objeto que cumplir y lo perseguira hasta su plena realización." ; Hermosos conceptos! La gran Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra ha hallado su trabajo, ella viene a llenar el vacío que desde tiempos remotosimos reclamaba un algo que lo encapara El mundo cristiano celebra de nuevo la natividad del Nazareno, del que vino a este mundo novecientos años ha, para reducir a una humanidad llena de pecados. Durante esta celebración recordamos naturalmente la vida y trabajos del que alteró grandemente el curso del destino humano hacia imposible el que ignoremos su existencia física v moral. Queen dudata que esta labor emprendida en otros tiempos humber sido también beneciosa? No ella fue emprendida, pero su mordores no hallaron cooperation, un motivo alentador que proteja la labor emprendida y una inspiración ideal, algo magnifico, algo grandioso que vistlumbre, que estimate la ambition leguita y prometa la realizacion de lo anhelado El fue el Cristo, el hijo de Dios, sinembargo, el fue un ser humano, dotado de las mismas cualidades físicas que los demas. Su vida debido ser un ejemplo por medio del cual el hombre regulara sus procedimientos para con su semejante, Pero cuenta diferencia! Mientras nuestra mente alaga nuestro ser con la visión espiritual del bendito Redentor, hemos que cada día nos separamos mas y más de la hermandad humana. Nuestra raza que hoy ocupa un papel secundario en al concierto universal, no ha de tener reparos en aspirar a una condición más favorable El Negro, como cualquier otro ser, no esta condenado a vivir en esta condición secundaria, por estar dotado de una energia física que le capacita para vencer la peor condición heredada, que puede hacer de su cuerpo un templo de salud y de grandeza. Los hombres a quienes el Cristo predice su doctrina, le crucificaron a la presente generación no haria otra cosa sino clavarle en la misma cruz si El reapareciera predicando las enseñanzas de su doctrina cristiana. La misericordia ha desaparecido de la mente humana y el mundo es victima de una influencia maligna, la cual nos hace poco acreedores a las grandes bendiciones del Redentor espiritual En el reloj del tiempo ha sonado la hora de muestra liberacion; se nos presente la ocasion de hacernos dignos del calificativo de "honbrres". El Hon. Marcus Garvey ha brindado la oportunidad y corresponde la cuatrocientes millones de Negros en el universo aprovecharse de ella. Emprendamos nueva ruta y marchemos con decision e insuperable brio hacia nuevos horizontes. Con toda esta influencia operando en nuestra relación moral y material cannamos paulatinamente hacia un destino Como raza, nuestro programa no defiere en manera alguna del programa de las demas razas, todos los puebios persiguen la misma libertad de acción que persiguen los cuatrocientos millones de Negros esparcidos por el universo Capitulo Cubano de la U. N. I. A. Con gran entusiasmo se viene organizando el Capitulo Cubano de la gran Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra en esta ciudad. Ademas de los señores Eligio Dilu, Eduardo Noalla, Osvaldo Prieto, Guillermo Walters, Arce, el que suscribe y la incansable Clarisa Walters, se han sumado al Comité de Propaganda setenta y cuatro elementos de gran valer, quienes vienen a aportar con su importante obolo en pro de la realizacion del sublime ideal que sustentanlos. Por el solo hecho de predicar la salvación del alma humana; el Cristo fue crucificado; por el solo hecho de predicar nosotros la libertad de acción, somos el blanco de aquellos que siempre se han beneficiado de la ignorance del pueblo y de la aparente tranquilidad de las masas. El Cristo groga las masas de su epoca con las prédicas de la nueva doctrina de su religión y las clases privilegiadas le odiaron y persiguenon hasta privarle de la vida. La generación del presente adoptaria la misma actitud que adopto la generación del pasado. Consecuentemente hemos tenido millares de reformistas que han sufrido perecido en la persecución de su ideal, despertando las masas surridas con la vision de su propia libertad moral y material. Las conferencias son celebradas regularmente todos los domingos en las distintos salones de las Sociedades galantemente cedidos por sus directivas. Por esa meritoria labor es dignos de grandes encomios el senor Dilu. A continuación reproducto una de sus innumerables invitaciones: ABSOCIACION UNIVERSAL PARA EL Nos abriga la esperanza de que este reflujo cristiano produzca cambios, los cuales bagan al hombre mas considerado de su semejante y más apreciativo de la verdad predicada por el que vio la luz por vez primera en la trailea. El mensaje de "paz en la tierra y felicidad para todos los seres de buena voluntad" traido por aquellos angeles de novedocientos años ha es muy necesario en esta epoca para salvag a la humanidad de la destrucción que le amenaza. Cómo podemos obtener paz y felicidad cuando el hombre esta tan corrompido, es injusto para con su semejante y le explota y le destruye porque este sea mas debil? Tal actitud no nos traera nunca, por lo menos, la tranquilidad que anhela nuestra alma. Ramón G. Apeztegua Hernandez, Cudad Señor Cumphendo las instrucciones dadas por la Asociación Central, que radica en Nueva York, de la ASOCIACION UNIVERSAL PARA EL ADELANTO DE LA RAZA NEGRA, así como el acuerdo de la Comisión de Propaganda para la organización de la Division de los Cubanos, tenemos gran placer en pasarle esta carta circular, con los siguientes fines Su hemos de ser cristianos, su hemos de ser hombres cumplidores de nuestros deberes, debemos exterminar esa influencia maligna, la cual ha sido la ruina de muchos hombres, razas y naciones. Debemos tener mayor consideración por la vida de nuestro semejante, de su raza y de su nación, cuando así procedamos, nos asimilaremos el espiritu de Jesus introduciendo de nuevo el reinado de una verdadera paz. No piensa Ud. y su familia, contribur desde aquí a la redencion del Africa, Patria de nuestros abuelos, tierra de nuestro origen? No piensa Ud. y su familia, unirse al movimiento universal de los cuatrocientos millones de Negros, para obtener el progreso que tienen las otras tasas? Convirtiamos estas Navidades en amor y alegría; extendamos muestra mano hacia nuestro semejante en prueba de confraternidad y ayudemos a levantar al caido. "Misciemonos a los demas con la expresión de una determinación que les haga sentirse aconpañados en la lucha por su propia existencia, por la de su raza y por la de su nación. Con el reconocimiento de haber sido util a la humanidad, hemos de sentirnos felices y de ese modo traeremos a este mundo de codicias el reino de los cielos reino de paz y de felicidad. No prensa Ud. y su familia, en levantar un concurso con la cooperación de la ASOCIACION UNIVERSAL PARA EL ADELANTO DE LA RAZA NEGRA, por medio de Bonos, donde podamos emplear a nuestras familias con mayor decora? Usted y su familia, no tienen sangre de Africa? Pues todo el que tenga una sola gota de sangre de Africa es miembro de esta Asociación. Infundemos calor en nuestros corazones; iluminémolos con la chispa de la verdadera afección y hagamos que su brillantez radie alrededor del universo, hasta conseguir que el género humano se posezione de la nueva esperanza; de la nueva vida, práctica y enseñanzas de nuestro Señor. Es Ud. y su familia, anante del progreso? No conocen del progreso o monónico del negro americano, por su abmegación? No conocen del progreso de la ASOCIACIÓN UNIVERSAL PARA EL ADELANTO DE LA RAZA NEGRA? Pues con el fin de que conozca todo esto y coopere, asociandose, le invitamos, a la segunda reunión que tendra efecto el domingo, 10 del corriente, a la 7 y 30 de la noche, en los salones del Circulo Obrero, situado en Trinidad y Reloj. Hagamos que todas las divisiones, miembros y adeptos de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra se esfuercen en servir la noble causa a la cual hemos dedicado todas nuestras energias. Luchemos por la emancipación general de nuestro pueblo y la absoluta redención de nuestra madre patria el Africa y celebrando con amor y fe la Natividad de nuestro Salvador hemos de recibir un sagrada dedicción. La negativa de Ud. su familia contribuira al estancamiento progreso comercial del Negro en todas partes. ¡Dios bendiga su hogar! De ustedes fraternalmente, por la Comisión ELIGIO DILC.

Ramon Speztegua Hernandez Corresponsal. La Union Centroamericana en Washington Confirmando lo que parecia inevitable, una vez conocida la actitud resuelta de Costa Rica, la conferencia de Washington decidió eliminar de su programa el plan de umon de los cinco estados de la America Central, Nicaragua, Costa Rica y Guatemala votaron contra la proposición de Honduras, que solo secundo El Salvador. El destino de la confederación política de cono pueblos unidos por la naturaleza y por interes comum, esta, sellado. Hasta 1926 no volverá a ponerse sobre el tapete la cuestion y entonces solo merced a un cambio completo de orientaciones en el criterio de cierta opinión pública centromericana, podra abordarse el problema con mayores esperanzas de exito La proxima conferencia, con todo, desde ahora puede verse, si se convoca en forma adecuada y se eliminan de su origen ciertas sombras que han enveluito a la actual, tendrá mayor libertad de movimientos para decidir la union, si esta para ello la opinión publica preparada. La conferencia presente ha tenido desde su micio varios defectos capitales que prejuizgaron su desarrollo. El pacto del "Tacoma" entre los presidentes Melendez, de El Salvador, Lopez Gutterrez de Honduras, y Chamorro, de Nicaragua, aparecia en la mente de todos, aunque se mencionara poco conspicuamente Y sin embargo, aquel pacto, atacado unanimemente por la prensa costarriceense, al que no concurrio más que un periodista oficial salvadoreño de la conferencia de Washington. La prensa mejicana, al mismo tiempo, con su protección por la m invitación de México a la conferencia, dio relieve a un evidente aunque no declarado recoel por la intervención de la delegación de los Estados Unidos en una asamblea puramente y estrictamente centroamericana. Un anbuite cargado de desconnambas protundas, que no bastaba a desvanecer la cordialidad amistosa de los debates, envolvio todos los intercambios de opiones desde el principio. Así, el escenario estaba preparado para la votación delines. Debe esperarse ahora que la proxima conferencia de 1920 tenga mejores auspices que la actual La Union, con todo, sigue abriendo dose camino en el corazon y la inteligencia de los pueblos de Centro América. La decision de uniformar su legislación proletaria y de elaborar un procedimiento para arbitrar disputas intercentroamericanas que no se resuelvan por la diplomacia, son pasos constructivos y en la buena dirección. De la conferencia panamericana de Santiago puede salir también alguna medida que, aplicada a la region central del comente, acerque más efectivamente todavía a sus pueblos. Tal debe ser el anhelo de todos. La unión es conveniente y necesaria. El haz de pequeños pueblos ahora dividos llegara a solidifiarse en una fuerte confederación. Y entonces estas sombras que ahora se proyectan sobre el cielo centroamericano, y estos recelos que debida o indebidamente ahora separan a hermanos de hermanos, habrán dejado de existir —La Prensa, N. Y. Puerto Rico Espera la Substitución de Reily SAN JUAN, P. R. - El gobernador de Puerto Rico, E. Mont Reilly, antes de embarcarse en este puerto con rumbo a los Estados Unidos, manifesto que lo hacía en virtud de licencia, e iba a hacerse examinar de un oculista, pues venia padeciendo de jaquecas frecuentes. Se lleva como secretario particular doctor Herrero, afladiendo; Mi secreció tiene que quedarse en los Estados Unidos no me dejan tranquilo en los hoteles, pues ane llaman conscientemente, y yo necesitó ir acompañado de una persona que me attienda a estas cosas. Al indagarse sobre los motivos por los cuales no acoumafan al gobernador en esta ocasión mayor número de hombres políticos, se informó que es probable que a principios de enero salgan de la isla algunas comisiones de políticos, republicanos y socialistas para apoyar el gobierno del gobierno. La isla entra está pendiente de la resolución de Washington sobre a suspensión pedida del funcionario. Candidato a la Presidencia de la República Dominicana El Dr. Francisco J. Peynado, uno de los firmantes del pacto de desocupación norteamericana de la República Dominicana, preguntado si aceptaba el nombramiento de candidato a la futura presidencia de la república, contesto lo siguiente: Yo aceptare la postulación que se me ofrece, cuando ella no significa compromisos políticos que constrijan la elección libre por el gobierno de sus colaboradores en la administración pública.

Calle 135 Ciudad de Nueva York AMERICAN NEGRO ACADEMY MEETS IN WASHINGTON, DECEMBER 27-28 The twenty-sixth annual meeting of the American Negro Academy will be held in Washington, D. C., Wednesday and Thursday, December 27 and 28, 1922. A special feature of the program will be an address on "Race in Culture" by Prof. Robert T. Kerlin of West Chester, Pa., formerly head of the Department of English in the Virginia Military Institute. Papers will also be read by President Arthur A. Schomburg of Brooklyn, N. Y., on "The Negro and Christianity"; Dr. Joseph J. France, of Portsmouth, Va., "The Negro and Race Consciousness" and Mr. T. Montgomery Gregbry of Washington, "The Negro Theatre." The open meetings will be held in the Cleveland Public School, Bingham and T stress, N. W., each day at 11 p. m., under the auspices of the Community Center Department; and the THE PROCESS OF EVOLUTION AND THE NEGRO "Such as men themselves are, such will God appear to them to be," is the conclusion of a certain school of philosophy in England. Before we pass on judgment to this statement it must first be remembered that the mind can only conceive of the "unknown" in relation to the known, thus it will not be forgotten that this relation must take on such forms as imposed by the mind. But following the current of man's activities, this is not the angle or point of sight from which we shall view this abstraction. In order to gain its full perspective, come with me on the high plane of moral justice and liberty. Here we will get a panorama of the dominant nations in their crusade of exploitation and subjugation against the less fortunate nations and races in the name of civilization and Christianity. We at once saw how the mind-forms put on their physical appearance, and now we proceed to see, by the effect of this "graven image," the reactions of the mind as manifested in a practical way in the world of human affairs. Our accepted religion, more and more becoming like other ideals, the cast of the plastic forces of ideas, beliefs and disbeliefs, no longer produces the "Fruits mete for repentance," but feeds us instead on husks and creeds and dogmas of a non-progressive theology. It has sanctioned slivery; it challenges Infinite Wisdom by promoting and tolerating horrible wars among its brethren and, sitting in the councils of the ungodly, it "teaches for doctrines the commandments of men." Thus the glad tidings of the good Old Story is maneuvered into a grim fair tale. In the background of all this is the "exceedingly high mountain" from which Evil Desire points to the kingdoms of the earth, and Solifhness says: "All these things will I give thee if you will fall down and worship me." Grash! "teashed as dogs of war, fire, famine and sword crouch for employment" even in solitary places. The cords of restraint are broken as they dramatically comply with the provisions. The world knows not peace. The Golden Rule is not applied in the original, but is paraphrased. "Do unto others what you fear they may do unto you." This is the grim spectacle we face—a religion with its back broken, a god with his head cut off, fashioned and shaped in the image of its masters by their ideas of militant supremacy. This idea of supremacy, this notion to excel in human affairs, is the narrow gate through which the unfortunate world must squeeze itself on its allotted plane of existence. It follows a gross misconception of the divine scheme, as though the Creator, himself, had forced all creation—man, brute and things beneath Him—in order to retain His exalted position, and in whose natures He has infused a weak solution of His principles of becoming. But not so man! Were not this idea of supremacy materialized by reasoning, intelligent beings, there would be no struggle for existence, no survival of the fittest, for the struggle for existence presupposes a struggle, and the survival of the fittest a conqueror. If this wrestling for the mastery be justified, then virtue leads not to commendation; nay, further, we search in vain for a just God. When the heel of oppression sinks deep into the flesh of the helpless the fire of manhood is 'amothered with" Thus saith God, or prophet," and Nature witnesses the "amen." By the keen edge of truth we can sever an angle of this vindictive triangle and such moral pressure on the other two angies as to give us the shortest distance between bold hypotheses and demonstrable facts. The prophets were men and are dead, and God and Nature reward after the deserts of men or, as Bschopenhauer puts it, "Even the most exalted are chained to the galleys with common criminals." In the control of the moral self the individual is an independent being and Nature, although she destroys him, is especially careful to preserve the species with her lavishing supplies and by propagation of kind. This genial providence, if following the present order of things, insures the indestructibility of the classified groups down the ceaseless ages to come. However, because of the divisibility of their members—the lack of central co-operation, adaptability to climate, hybrid progeny and the abuse of reproductive—this natural guardianship will be corrupted into its inevitable consequence. Other things being equal, the abuse of reproductive, like the abuse of wealth, must eventually breed itsacker worms, and group consistency shall prevail. This is the summit of reflection on which the die is cast. We are at a point where we shall cease quit generalities, for we shall soon see that upon us they have set about in unimpeachable terms to stamp the seal of finality. From the quotation of a lecture given by Professor Stifner of Grinnell College is called the following: "The same instincts which satuate the 'African savage' to trade in a bunch of bananas for a string of bright heads with which to decorate his 'naked' person impel the American woman to seize the bargain counter. Both feel the same glow of bride when asked. (Where did you get it?) Then the statement concludes: "There is no instinct stronger in the human race than the desire to be apart from our fellow man, body." This is in truth, the number for distinctions is all men. Humans are another, a distinct, singular, which prompts the question: "Would you get it?" If it is the distinction between men and women men, whereby and whenever they are. They form the boundaries from which speak the social life we point. To the extent of the appropriation of the object will be the destiny for the imitation; therefore, if the appropriation of the imiter be equal to that of the owner of the object, the imitation will be equal to the object, and both the originator and the imitator are equal. i. e. on common ground. It does not matter whether the true knowledge of the object is obtained by intuition or by rationale; dependent on the mind's approval when its conviction as to the ultimate value is realized, the instinct for mitigation will be at its climax and nothing can prohibit it unless the opportunity is barred by the force of jealousy. This is the unknown quantity in the problem of race. Here, we find the Negro following his human instinctiveness, forced back "into his place" as an "upstart," or with other epithets of hairbreadth description from the brute. Then, like a newly caged bird, he beats his wings frantically against the bars of limitation only to ascustom himself after much exhaustion to the narrow world created for him. He cannot, therefore, think outside his world, even though his longings take flight on the wings of imagination to the highest heavens, for this constant repulsion must, with immutable precision, produce a stuped of mind, with consequent self-depreciation. Once here, he has reached the deaired end; infertion imbecile, of medicine contentment—his peculiar psychology. There can be no such contentment as long as there are in the breast of man an instinct to mitigate and a desire for distinction; no, there can be no contentment in humanity until man has fully reached that state of being "how like a god!" If there are active peculiarities common to any division of humanity they were effected by a known law under certain environmental conditions which would have produced them alike in any and all people. Any strange "representation of a type" is therefore, "the travestying of the race" unless the mind is satisfied that that type is in no way connected to the race which is impossible. We sometimes discover a comedy of words enfolding a tragic thought. No race or individual can have as an excuse for advising that the life of another be a series of memnism in a progressive world, but the selfish "desire to be set apart as somebody"—a superior. In quantitative or qualitative comparisons superiority is a fact; yet no man can lay claim to his superior qualities on anything but the care taken to develop these organisms which produce mind phenomena prior to the manifestations of these latter through the coevolution will. Therefore to otherwise effect and maintain this distinction the inequality of man had to be created. This was brought into being priest and patriarch, parishioner and tyrant who relegated the masses of their communities to humble spheres of existence. Their antibobble was an authority and their procluses to rule and crush. Later, religion, having taken the oath of allegiance to materialism formed the trio-politics, religion and economy. This corrupt trinity is the embodiment of that force which bites this world into a maslustrum of devilly, race against race, nation against nation. It has magnified the work of the old masterers by enforcing the right to subdue and humiliate. And so, coming down the everlasting ages of history, the voice of the oppressed swells in tragic tones, while death, famine and misery dance in rhythmic procession to the ghastly enchantments. But today, following the triumphant march of exact learning among the masses, the pendulum is slowly swinging in the other direction. Let the Negro hitch his load to this process of evolution for its development, to active independence; for, make no mistake, he will not be absorbed even though now, minor politics plays fair to principles; as a majority, wisdom will serve his brother. Should it be monarchy, democracy or socialism, humanity will still be made of the same "stuff" that feels a "glow of pride" for distinction. The Negro must allow the line for independence, not by the boast of intellect, but by the manifestations of his consciousness will, will punctuate himself in the world of action; for not until then will he be himself of his indulgence, as a "sage of incapable"; by the wilful act of God's mind, personified.

MARCUS GARVEY STIRS CLEVELAND Four Huge Mass Meetings Held in the City The president general and his secretary, Miss Ruth Green arrived in Cleveland at 8:30 on Friday morning from Cincinnati, O., and was escorted from the Union Station by a cortege of Legiona, Rt Hon Rudolph, E. Smith third assistant president general and Mr. Collin A. Bryce the executive secretary, of Cleveland Division Three meetings were held at Manhattan Hall Fifty-fifth street and Woodland avenue. Large crowds are funded each meeting and were well pleased with the arrangements of the various programs for said meetings. His Excellency Hon. Marquis Goutve was especially good in his line of talk on the various phases of the world state of unrest. On Friday night a short and spicy welcome address was made by the executive secretary, Mr. Collin A. Bryce who later explained the aims and objects of the organization. Attorney Harry Smith one of the speakers of the evening pleased the audience greatly with his inspiring talk, and pointed out to the audience the necessity of organization especially one with the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. In part he said, It is only through organizing our forces that we can meet the great demands of modern times. If we fail to do so this race with which we are connected will go down in degradation and shame. The Universal Negro Improvement Association with its vast program is our only salvation. This problem of ours can never be solved by the Negroes of the United States alone but we must co-operate with our brethren in Africa and the very many other countries of the world before this problem can be solved." The Rt Hon Rudolph L. Smith who is known to Clevelanders as the roaring lion," roared as he never roared before, and called upon Negroes everywhere to pitch in and unite with the forces of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, learn of your brother in Africa, South and Central America and in the isles of the sea. He pointed put some of the happenings in various parts of the world and claimed that they were simply happenings that were prophesied by his excellency Hon Marcus Garvey, which happenings are termed the "Signs of the Times," and Negroes must take heed, lest they let pass the greatest opportunity of their lives to solve the great problem that confronts them. Rt. Hon. Rudolph E. Smith, in glowing terma, introduced his excellency Hon. Marcus Garvey, who rose admired tremendous applauses which lasted for fully five minutes. His excellency Hon. Marcus Garvey greatest his audience in his usual peculiar manner, and made apologies for having disappointed them on the previous occasions when he was expected here. He told them in return of the delegates who were sent by the Universal Negroes Improvement Association to represent 400,000,000 Negroes at the sitting of the League of Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, and told of the successful work that had been done. He touched in brief on some of the many criticisms that have been hurled at him and the Universal Negro Improvement Association, of which he is the founder, and gave reasons for the very many statements made to misrepresent him and the organization. Sunday afternoon and Sunday night the meetings wore their usual garb of splendor The choir, to which duo praise must be given rendered many favored selections. Those who took part in the program worthy of special mention were Mr Nicholas who gave a very inspiring talk both afternoon and evening concerning the Universal Negro Improvement Association and said that only by the united forces of Negroes everywhere can this problem ever be solved Mr John Crossland is also worthy of mention as one of the loyal members of the division. He encouraged greatly those who had fallen out of rank His address was well received and well applauded. The Rt Hon Rudolph E. Kinuth again roared and dealt chiefly on the international relationship of Negroes their peculiarities and customs in different parts of the world, where they may be found. He again introduced in his usual manner His Excellency, Hon. Marcus Garvey, who was well received as usual with thunderous applause. In his speech His Excellency explained the difference between the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and that of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, stating that the problem can never be solved by white leadership, and that since Ireland must be led to victory by the Irishmen, Japan by the Japanese and England by the Englishman who is that the Negroes fail to see the reasonable part of the argument that only under Negro leadership can they ever hope to solve the problem that confronts them. Mr W. W. Gilleep presides over the Cleveland Division No. 2, where he meeting made a few remarks, and asked for the attention of the members of the division to be paid to him. Martin the first of the division offered to muster for members and perform the task of a member worthy of mention. Monday night at the toil to help the inclement weather.

We speak much for her all she needs encouragement. Her paper, Pack Up and Get Ready to to be, was made up in three parts. Reading another part was sung to the tune of the Battle Hymn of the Republic; and the College Yeah It created great applause. Heading Mrs. A Bryce which touched chiefly on the Juvenile was indeed an inspiration for the younger ones. The paper was entitled Juvenile the Future Hope of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It Hon Rudolph J. Smith again roared saying that the necessary requirement is an established government where we can have Negro mayors Negro chiefs of police restifying law then and then only can you receive the respect of the other races. The Negro race constitutes a large part of the human family. Four hundred million Negroes in the world and we are roaming the entire world without a government and a flag This race is in a bad predicament we have no place to call our own, no protection. Japanese are not lynched Why? Because they have a Japanese government behind them, and if they should lynch one, they would have to lynch them all. The greatest statement that has ever been made is the statement that Negroes must have a government. We do not hate other people or races because of their color, but because they are keeping us down and not helping us to make any success. Today we find Ireland free Egypt free, Poland free and with governments and Negroes 400 000 000 strong, still fussing and fighting among themselves. But God moves in His mysterious way His wonder to perform. When there is nothing before us but darkness, we hear voices anying. Be of good cheer, hold on to your master." Since His Excellency Hon Matucan survey came on the scene, we are going to hold on to the end (Applause). We are fighting for the redemption of a country they we should have. This is a white man's country, he fought for it and he is going to keep everybody around him white. All the various industries are the fruits of a white man's labor. God knows what is going to happen some of these days those who have fought us, criticized us and kept us down, we will hear them say. Where shall we go? It will be too late to go to His Excellency Hon Marcus Garvey. The only way that some of these folks can see the danger is to put them on a ship and let them go to different parts of the world and study more about international affairs. There are stories arming themselves to the teeth. The world is in a state of confusion prepare yourselves. We say to those who have fought us and kept us down. You are standing in the way, get out of the way, we are coming 400,000,000 strong! Applaud! Now that you have a leader follow him and sooner or later the victory will be won. His Excellency Hon Marcus Garvey was introduced to the audience and, as in the previous meetings, he rose amidst thunderous applause, saying that I am glad to be with you again this evening and I am here to say farewell. Hoping to be with you again next year, I am going to make a tour of the world next year in the interest of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. This organization is going to let the white man know what it stands for. The colored ministers ask the white man for money to build churches, but we are going to build for ourselves. The things that we want is freedom and liberty for a country. I am going to Europe and ask for it, and ask them to turn it over immediately. On the way I am going to China and have a talk with them there, to Japan, to England, to France and to Africa and talks things over with them there. I came here to renew the faith and enthusiasm, and I believe that you will keep up a standard of love until we have won the victory. We want you always to be cheered with the fire of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I feel that you are going to do what is right by us. 'The organization is made of people and it can not be stronger than the people make it. When we speak for the Universal Negro Improvement Association it is expected that you members stand by us. We do not want any trouble, so we are going to talk the matter over first. When we are refused anything that belong to us, then is the time for us to fight. Africa is the property of the black man and no legal opinion can change that right.

Africa We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association intend to purify the race and defend Negro women and with every drop of blood that comes through our veins. Some day the black man will be in power. It does not pay the white man to be too offensive to the Negro now, we may have to retaliate after a while. I do not see any reason why there should be any misunderstanding between the two races. If we stick together we can change the people in all the world. Some day Africa will be controlled by Negroes. When Mr Clark came to New York we made him understand that we mean what we say. He realized that we are in earnest. We so made him understand that after on we are going to have dreadthoughts if need be. What we need in power and when we get it we will get somewhere. The Universal Negro Improvement Association means to put this program over with force and power of all kinds. You have to work for the things you want and that is the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to be put over. If we sit down here the yellow man is going to treat us as bad as the white man does. After a while things will come out all right for us then the weak will have to get out and leave the strong. The only way we can stay here is to make oursees strong enough to know down anybody who comes in our way. We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association desire your cooperation. Stick in your division and make the wrong right. I may die tomorrow but will that stop the movement? Not a thousand times no'. Stick by the principle that caused you to become a member of the organization. Hon. Rudolph E. Smith and I are not going to be with you always. But don't stop when we are gone. It is your duty to press forward until the victory is won of the Red Black and Green (Ap plause). Before you can achieve great things some people have to die and any Negro who comes into the movement if he has not the courage to die for his race he is not the kind we need in this oragnization. Liberty means death and before Africa can be redeemed many, many may have to die. COLLINS A BRYOR Executive Secretary THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS THINGS NOT SEEN The Universal Negro Improvement Association is the substance of things hoped for. Since our unfortunate four parents made no provision for us the U.N.A. is out searching the avenues throughout the universe for the sons and daughters of Homo where our unborn children can see the commandments of this the greatest movement the world has ever known. During the month of August the sitting of the convention I believe had a very hard task leaving no stone unturned in electing competent ones of our race to represent us in the league of Nations and that alone has made the premiere of Europe think of taking a good holiday which they have not had for many years past. In that gathering a gentleman in the course of his speech said, "We all differ in religion but our ideas are one—to labor to the bitter end to attain the hilltops of Africa. As in those of us who are trying to break down this movement by malicious propaganda spreading sedition among the race let me tell you my friends God Almighty is with us in this movement and has chosen a man by the name of Marcus Garvey to lead his people so you see whatever God a intention is no worse Christian can stop it, because God is before men at all times. "Therefore I would advise you to take a holiday right away now before the place where you have to go gets filled up." We wish all possible success to the representation before the League of Nations arbitration tribunal in London on December 4, 1922. Yours for the cause R. I NAIMANDE. Capetown Division.

Universal Negro Improvement Assn. NOTICE! NOTICE!! NOTICE!!! The President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association on his tour of the nation has been approached by hundreds of loyal masters and well-wishers of the Association in complaints against the treatment they have received from several of the various departments of the Organization at headquarters and from individual officers and employees at headquarters as also against the conduct of certain Executive Officers whilst on the field. The President-General is grieved of the many complaints and hereby begins to announce that a Complaint Department is now established and attached to his office. All persons having complaints to make against any department, officer or employee of the O'organization will please write to COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT P. 8. If you love the Organization and desire to see it improve its service to the race, then you will not fail to report any irregularity on the part of officials, officers and employees of the Organization, caring not whom the person be if he or she has done anything improper or unconstitutional, report it. If you have any complaints send them in now and don't wait until it is too late. political promoters pretended, many persons will insist that, in justice to the Negro measures of protection must be taken by the Federal Government. If the law commands no respect and mob murder is universally approved where a Negro life is at stake, how is Texas or any other Southern State to justify itself as a civilized common wealth? Certainly the demand for more outside interference and penalties will grow not weaken if outrages like this go unpunished.
