VISIT LIBERTY HALL EVERY SUNDAY MORNING AND EVENING FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: The world is now face to face with a terrible unrest. Humanity everywhere is provoked to the point of action. Even the oppressed darker millions are rising in their physical might to throw off the weight imposed upon them by their self-constituted overlords. In this clamor to reach the top, 400,000,000 Negroes have also lifted their united voices to high heaven for a better adjustment of racial affairs and for a better consideration of things economic, political and social. The New Spirit of the Negro The Universal Negro Improvement Association sponsors the new spirit of the new Negro. We feel that there is need for an immediate readjustment; that things cannot continue as they are. Feeling thus makes us very outspoken in our declaration. We want liberty, we want true freedom. We want the privilege of living and exercising our rights as men. The world is not inclined or disposed to grant us this, hence we are in conflict with the world. Controlling Groups The organized groups that have controlled the affairs of the darker and weaker peoples of the world are now exerting every energy and making every effort to further subjugate our race by a sinister and underhand effort to destroy the usefulness of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. There is no secret about it England and France have been using their agents and their spies in the United States of America to undermine the influence of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. To what extent they have succeeded is made manifest in the fact that the Universal Negro Improvement Association stands firmer than ever in its declaration for African freedom and universal emancipation for Negroes. Great embarrassments have been caused through the work of these agents and spies, some of whom were even employees of our organization and other auxiliary corporations. We know them all. Some we discovered too late, but their activities have been closely observed to the point where it makes us only more determined to wage an unrelenting battle until we have brought about the completion of our work. Cause of Embarrassments The embarrassments we have had in the Black Star Line and other business enterprises were but the result of the undermining influences of agents who have been at work for the purpose of defeating our industrial plans by which they could convince the unthinking multitude of what they would call the "failure" of the African Redemption Movement, but these arch enemies of Negro progress are calculating without their hosts. In their opposition they are counting upon the old psychology of the old Negro. The new Negro has learned to measure failures but as stepping stones to success, so that nothing that has happened to the Universal Negro Improvement Association or the Black Star Line will deter the new Negro one bit in waging a campaign for African redemption and universal emancipation. Histories of France and England We need not go back to the histories of France and England and even of America to recount the many failures in governments before they were able to reach the positions that they now occupy in world politics. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, therefore, is satisfied to pass through even the same set-backs as did America in her AFRICA STEADILY FORGING TO THE FRONT PROPAGANDA OF GREAT ORGANIZATION SWEEPING THE WORLD ENEMIES WILL FAIL IN THEIR EFFORT TO HINDER GREAT CAUSE making, or England in her rise from a slave nation to the great imperial power that she is today. Conflict of Wit and Intelligence We are engaged in a conflict of wits and intelligence. Black men of the world must utilize their brain power in competition with the brain power of the other races in making a place and holding it in the affairs of men. We are determined to redeem Africa through the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We shall fight on until we have succeeded in giving a consciousness of race to each and every member of the 400,000,000 Negroes. Africa Has Awakened Thank God, Africa has awakened to the cry of "Africa for the Afriance or Holk and Abroad." Not only in South Africa but West Africa, North Africa, East Africa and Central Africa has the doctrine been promulgated. The great flame of liberty is burning and in a short while it will have consumed all that stands in opposition to light and freedom. Go Before the World Let us go before the world with a greater determination to fight this battle. Let us not slacken our energies one bit, for beyond that dark cloud we can see a silvery lining. Let the world criticize us, but the world is sober and sensible enough to know that ultimately the Negro will triumph in his cause of justice. The scott and scorn of the world is but a subterfuge to divert the Negro's attention from the object that he has set before him. Didn't the world laugh at Washington of America and the great leaders of French liberation? Didn't the world laugh at the reformers of Russia, but what has happened? We see great America today; we see great France and rising Russia all the work of those who had the courage to stick to their convictions; so in a short while we will see a new Africa, not of slaves, but of free men. Not of an autocracy, but of the most liberal democracy possible to man. Let us, wheresoever we are, remake ourselves in determination and purpose, in serving the great cause of African redemption and in carrying out the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. As the forces of opposition line up against us, let us, as a race, stand firm and we will break down all barriers; we will scatter from our path all opposition. Men, I say, it is only a question of time. Unsettled State and Condition Out of the unsettled state and condition of the world will come such revolutions that will give each and every race, that is oppressed the opportunity to march forward. The last world war brought the opportunity to many heretofore subject races to regain their freedom. The next world war will give Africa the opportunity for, which we are preparing. We are going to have wars and rumors of wars. In another twenty or thirty years we will have a changed world politically, and Africa will not be one of the most backward of nations, but Africa shall be, we feel sure, one of the great commonwealths that will continue to hold up the torchlight of civilization and bestow the blessings of freedom, liberty and democracy upon all mankind. What else can we do but look forward with hope, with faith and confidence in ourselves? Let not the little things disturb and embarrass you. Let the enemy do his worst. He will be defeated. Not because of the power and strength of the enemy should we be fearful and lack courage. Enemies to Human Progress Greater enemies to human progress have been destroyed before and in a like manner, some of those who oppose justice, equity, liberty, freedom and democracy will perish, yes, they shall perish, as did Rome, Greece, Carthage and Babylon. The hand writing is on the wall. No one can tell what tomorrow will bring forth, but remember that the Psalmist prophesied: "Princes shall come out of Egypt and Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God." The hour is drawing nigh. Africa herself is throwing off the shackles of the ages. The new universal spirit, the spirit of liberty, has taken hold of the people. What, then, can the enemy do? You cannot destroy the spirit of men. You may shackle their bodies; you may imprison them, but you cannot permanently kill the spirit that Propaganda Against Movement More and more as we move on we shall expose to you and to the world all the propaganda that has been hurled against us, and the treachery that has been practiced in trying to keep back and defeat the purposes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We shall write volumes to tell the story, unfortunate though it be, that the spies and enemies who have tried to work the destruction of our cause were not of other races, but of our own; but such has been the course of traitors of other races in other ages, so naturally we will expect that the greatest injury to our cause of liberty will be done by the traitors of our own race. Cannot Be Surprised Those of us who calculate for the worst, should we care what the worst be? There is but one guiding thought, one supreme spirit, and that is, we must be free. Africa must be redeemed. Everybody Can Help You can take this cause morally and financially, and now is the time to make your financial contributions to this great association. You can, wheresoever you are, do something. Let it be $1, $3, $5, $10, $20, $50, whatsoever you can give to this movement, and give it now to help us fight the battles that confront us. Whatsoever you can do, write to the Secretary-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, U. S. A. With very best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be. Your obedient Servant, MARCUS GARVEY, President-General, UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION. NEW YORK CITY, May 9, 1923. P. S. - Let every Division, Branch, Chapter and member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association do the best possible to help the parent body in its financial appeal for carrying out of the 1923 program.

MARCUS ARRANGING TO GET RID PREDICTION OF MARCUS GARVEY COMING TRUE VAST CROWD THRONGED LIBERTY HALL TO HEAR FEARLESS CHAMPION NEGROES BETWEEN TWO FIRES—HELL AND THE POWDER HOUSE Only Solution Is Government of Our Own AFRICA MUST BE FREE LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK, Sun- day Night, May 6.—Whatever may be said against the Universal Negro-Im- provement Association, there is this in- controvertible fact which characterizes it as the greatest organization among Negroes today, namely, that its tenets and principles have the compelling in- fluence that draws and fields more Negroes together than all the other Negro organizations put together, as shown by the huge crowds, running into thou- sands, which consistently attend Liberty Hall Sunday night after Sunday night with a preexistence that can only be actuated by a firm belief that out of the movement will come something that will bring permanent good to the race, if not in the present generation, then in some future one, and that will reflect lasting honor and credit on those who created it and strove through ad- versity to maintain it, so that they themselves or generations unborn may reap the benefits that must necessarily acquire to every race of people who have soogt and won self-determination for themselves. Mon, Marcus Carvey, in one of his remarkable speeches, gave further proof of the practicability of the program of the association in urging Negroes to organize themselves in all parts of the world for the redemption of their motherland and establishing a home for themselves on the continent of Africa, their logical home, since it was the place of the white man in America to force them through economic pressure to seek another habitat and make America a white man's country. This plan he declared was being evidenced more and more each day, and cited a recent dispatch, from Portland, Ore, published in the enemy Negro newspaper, the Chicago Defender, where an organisation called the "Knights of the White Light" issued a manifesto foriding Joe members and the white race in the United States. as well as to terrorize him and treat him really, in so barbarous a manner that as will make up his mind that it is about time for him to "pull out." Thus, coupled with the fact that the European nations are endeavoring to lay him hold on Africa, he said, justified the existence of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and called for wholesale support of the program advocated by the association for the establishment of a home and a government for Negroes. The other speakers were Hon. A. L. Burrows, Second Assistant Secretary- General, and Hon. J. O'Meally, High Commissioner-General. The full text of Mr. Garvey's speech is as follows: HON. MARCUS GARVEY SPEAKS Hon. Marcus Garvey spoke as follows: I have before me a clipping from one of our enemy Negro newspapers—the Chicago Defender—in which is reported a bit of news that comes from Portland, Ore., where it is stated that a new organization by the name of "The Knights of the White Light" is giving out a program by which, with the assistance of the Ku Klux Klan and other white organizations they expect to get rid of the Negroes in the United States of America and send them back to Africa. I am really surprised to see this news in the Chicago Defender above all other papers in America. I never saw the Chicago Defender would give cognizance to any back-to-Africa movement, but it appears that "water is more than flour" and in that the baker has to do something. I will not read the article, but I only want to draw out one of the means and methods suggested by this organization—"The Knights of the White Light"—which it will use to make it so that Negroes will come to the conclusion that there is no other place for them to go but Africa. You who have listened to me have often heard me say that immediately after Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation the Northern white man found out his mistake in admitting the Negro into full citizenship and that ever since he found out his mistake, he has devised ways and means by which he would subsequently be able to get rid of this Negro question and escape this Negro problem; and I said also that his plan was go Spring Specials/ $7.25 MEN'S WATCHES On an hourly number of general dealers.

You have often heard me say that America is now adopting her normal attitude—is just returning to pre-war conditions and pre-war times; there is no more war excitement and the minds of the leaders of this country are cooled; they are more sober in their actions and in their thoughts and in their doing; thereby they are enabled to go back to whatsoever plans they had before or bring about new plans for the settlement of their own domestic questions. We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association said that if the war had not come in 1914 it would not have been more than fifty years when the American white man would have got rid of 90 per cent. of the Negroes in the United States of America, either through starvation or by wholesale migration. Taper's like the Chicago Defender and fellows, like Du Bois laughed at us and said that "Garvey and the Universal crowd are crazy—they do not know what they are talking about; talking about the white man starving the Negro and the Negro not finding a place in the industrial and economic life of the nation is all bosh." Now I am going to read what is published in the Chicago Defender. Speaking of these "Knights of the White Light" and the methods they are going to use to get rid of the Negro, it says: "The members of the Knights of the White Light" are member of the Negro race; must not give him food, clothing nor shelter, even for money; must terrorize him and generally treat him in so barbarous a manner that he will make up his own mind that it is about time for him to be pulling out." I will not go further than that. The article will be reproduced in the Negro World and you will have a chance to read it in its entirety; but there is a thought I want to give you. The "Knights of the White Light" have come out at this late hour ready to put over its plan after we have prophesied it. They are now coming out without any concealment to do what they really intended to do ever since Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. The only thing that kept Negroes in America for fifty-seven years since Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation was because there were not enough white people in this country to put over the improvements that the whites wanted, done, and they have encouraged, kind, kept Negroes here just so long as they got the kind of improvements that white people wanted and when they were able to do without the Negro's help and contribution in the industrial and economic development of the country then they would show their hands—the hands that the "Knights of the White Light" are showing now out West. That has been the reason why the Universal Negro Improvement Association has organised itself in America, because it knows the program of the other fellow in every detail; we know because of our close study and observation of the question—the question of race. Now what the "Knights of the White Light" have said in Portland is but just what all the big industrial captains and employers of this country are about to say in another fifty years—that is within another fifty to bring about the result that they want to make this a white man's country. On my way from Cincinnati to Pittsburgh last Thursday, as I got into the Cincinnati Union Depot, I asked for a New York paper, and the only one on hand was the New York Herald, and while traveling I started to read to find out what was going on in New York. I saw an editorial under the caption of "The Negro Exodus from the South to the North." The editor of The New York Herald said in substance, that it was a calamity and it was unfortunate for the Negroes to leave the South for the North. He cited where in the space of a couple of months 30,000 Negroes had left Georgia and a like number had left South and North Carolina for Northern industrial sections, and this editor hewailed this migration of Negroes from the South, to the North, saying that they were coming into a section of the country where they could not be assimilated, and that due to the fault of the United States Government in keeping on the emigration ban and only admitting 3 per cent, of alien people in this country, at certain times during the year, and adding that it was preferable to open the flood gates of emigration and let in cheap white labor from Europe rather than permit the THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 12, 1923 Negroes to come from the South to the North because was. Negroes could not be and must not be assimilated. You see clearly what it means. It means this: That between the Klu Klu Klu, the Knights of the White Light and all those professed friends of our race, they have their program well laid out how to get rid of the Negro in good time. That has been discovered by the Universal Negro Improvement Association and that, is why we are making this relentless fight, not for remaining in America, but for founding a country of our own, because it is going to be the only solution of the Negro problem, not only in America, not only in the West Indies, but throughout the world. We are at the present time between two fires: we are between hall and the powder house; we are between the devil and the deep blue sea. Whilst they do not want us in America—whilst they are laying their plans and traps to argue us out ultimately in the next fifty years, on the other hand, we have perished Italy, Belgium and Portugal determined to hold every inch of Africa that they have robbed from our fathers—to hold Africa, the land that you and I claim as our legal heritage—as our moral right. Whilst they are determined and are using every possible means to prevent us from securing work in America and are laying plans to deprive us of the rights of citizenship and the right to enjoy economic and industrial rights, on the other side they are trying to rob us of the country that rightly belongs to us. The white man in America has realized that the Negro problem in America can only be solved in an economic and industrial way. That is why no Negro industry can stand; that is why every big Negro movement can not stand, because they realize that if you can support yourselves, the trouble will be eternal, but so long as we are depending upon someone else for our bread and butter they can starve you and you will die. The solution of the problem will be purely an economic one. The white man has already laid that down as the plan by which he is going to solve this America rare problem and that is by starving the Negro. I mean by that, that in a short white, when they lift this emigration ban—and they are going to do it because the great organizations that are looking for white supremacy are behind them—the industrial captains are behind them, and in a short white that they are going to open the flood gates of emigration again, which means that they are going to dump millions of cheap white European laborers in this country, and We have to take off our host to Herbert Julian, who is a real hero for it was he who held everybody spellbound for about ten minutes on Sunday afternoon when, dropping in a parachute from an airplane at an altitude of 500 feet, he alighted on the roof of a house at 140th street and Eighth avenue. About ten thousand people waited in the vicinity of 1434 and 145th streets and Seventh avenue. Janitors at some of the apartment houses charged 16 cents to a place on the roof. The crowds in the streets was so dense that all traffic was stopped. Everybody ahead was upturned. * At about 5 p.m. a crowd of boys in 141th street, who evidently had signal posts stationed on the highest roof in the locality, received the signal that the planes were coming. They started to the lot yelling "He is here! Here becomes!" Then things began to pick up. Everyone rushed to secure a good stand, for they had been promised this rate treat on two previous Sundays, which, due to the cold weather, could not be given. Some skepes said that Julian was a faker. "I'll bet you a hundred dollars he does not jump. What does he know about parachuting?" One could hear all kinds of remarks passed on this man, who today is the idol of thousands who admire men of his collar. Well, back to my story; When the boys yelled "Here he comes!" everyone looked up. I saw three planes in the air. Some one said to me, "Why is there three of them?" Off handedly I answered, "I guess there are two scors." The planes maneuvered about for 15 minutes, then from one of them a trial parachute was discharged. Some said, "Why! what's that?" Are they dropping bombs on us?" Five minutes later another trial parachute was discharged. This was done by the daredevil to test the wind. All of a sudden Julian was seen to leap off the plane. Everybody was dumfounded. A second later the parachute opened. The crowd felt safe. Those at 144th street, however, noticed that the wind was taking the parachute west toward Seventh avenue. The crowd made a rush. Some said that he would drop in St. Nigelha Avenue Park. Thousands upon thousands made for that point. Some took "agreeable," shouting "To the park, quick!" However, all who took taxis could not pass the onrush of humanity covering the streets. Horna towed and people shouted "Save the hero!" Three cheers for Julian! This was really a Negroes' day in New York. The crowd stopped at Eighth avenue, for the Parachute King had landed on a roof in 140th street near Eighth avenue. He came to the edge of the roof and greeted the crowd with a bow and handclasp. However, that did not satisfy some of the ladies in the crowd, for about six of them made a rush to the entrance of the house to go up to the roof to receive the aviator, but there was a policeman at the door to stop anyone except reporters, and there were it means that the 'Negro's occupation will be gone; it will mean that you can not get a job and, if you can not get money you can not buy bread and if you can not buy bread you will starve and if you strave you will die and the problem will be solved. That is the plan by which this problem of race in America is to be solved in another fifty or hundred years. It means that you will have to fight for sweet life. It is not a question of praying any longer; it is a question that your back is against the wall and you have to make a terrible spring forward to save yourselves, otherwise you and your posterity will be lost forever. Therefore, there is one logical conclusion. Since morally and legally we have no right to America, as the white man says; since there is one place we have a moral and legal right to, which is Africa, it is the only place we must set our minds and hearts on and if hell stands in the way, we have to clear it aside. (Applause.) Therefore, there is but one thing for us to do, that is, to make a forward march irrespective of the designs of England, of France, of Italy or of any country in the world, irrespective of hell itself. There is but one thing for Negroes to do, that is to organize themselves 400,000,000 strong to march toward the glorious country of Africa. So that the time has come for a sober understanding of this question—for an intelligent handling of this great question that concerns us, and I feel sure that the men and women of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will not fall behind in the new program of the organization for 1923. We are not compromising anything this year; with all the opposition before us we are on the war path in 1923; we are going to remain there; we are going to stay there, die even though some of us must, until we have successfully planted the Red; the Black and the Green. That is the determination, and I am pleased, indeed, to report to you the spirit that is abroad in the field. The spirit of the other divisions of this association is one of determination. I wish you could really see the spirit of the people from Liberty Hall tonight—a spirit that admits of no interference; a spirit that is clear and determined; a spirit that we can bank on; a spirit that we can be assured of when the hour strikes for African redemption; And I am saying to you in New York that the propaganda has been most active here against us, for the past fifteen months.

British propaganda has been far sung; they are spending fifty times as much as you subscribe annually for undertaking this movement, and the thing that has kept this movement alive is only the sincerity and earnestness on the part of those who are determined to see it through; if it were not for some of you members the movement would have died long ago, because unconsciously you fall in the hands of the enemy; unconceciously you assist the enemy every day, but later on there will be a reckoning, and we will be in a position to discipline African citizens inside the African Empire and outside of the African Empire. There are some Negroes who come around here to Liberty Hall every night and believe they are smart and are doing a wonderful thing in trying to spy on their own race; manufacturing all kinds of lies, believing, probably, that they will embarrass Marcus Garvey; but this ALLEGED "GOAL BA SWINDLER" EXT PITTSBU Authorities There Grant Extradition Papers to Have H.

Marous Garvey will die and be forgotten for a thousand years, but this movement will go on in its glory. I want you to realize that you are doing harm to youselves when you think you can injure your own race for the satisfaction of somebody else, because that somebody is only using you to carry out his designs, such as we have been used for 200 years to carry out the design of the white man. And now they tell us to get ready to leave, and if we don't leave they will starve us out his design, such as we have been won't sell us anything for our accommodation. So I am telling you in Liberty Hall and throughout the world the great fight is on—the fight for liberty, and nobody is afraid of it. We were not afraid of the Revolutionary War; we were not afraid of the Civil War; we were not afraid of the Spanish-American War; we were not afraid of the war of 1914-1918, and we won't be afraid of the war that is to give Africa her complete freedom. (Applause.) We want the Uncle Tom Negroes to know that the New Negro is afraid of nothing nowadays. The only one whom we are afraid of is the great God who sees and knows, and we know He is too just to be against the Negro at this time. We know that He is on the side of the Negro, because He Himself inspired the promise that "Princes shall ARON TRADITED FROM URGH TO BALTIMORE existent. They also declare that their investigation will unearth similar deals pulled off by Sterling in Pittsburgh. Arrested Last Week The local company secured the indemnity of Sterling by the local grand jury, and Sterling, was arrested in Pittsburgh. Authorities granted ex遗ition, but Sterling, through his white lawyer, secured delay by resort to habeas corpus proceedings. Archie Hanoway was compelled to go to Pittsburgh Monday to testify. He was brought here Tuesday. Sterling is said to have sufficient resources in Pittsburgh from which the local concern can collect every penny due provided they can secure Judgment.

Honorable, truthful, chaste and faithful, it is in all individuals who respect their integrity all times on all occasions throughout their life, which everyone admires in and in all mankind is a natural attribute, and cannot be cultivated as you would a habit. Hence it is an element of our moral merit in some way or other. In all walks of life, therefore, is it not be omitted if we want to be successful at time if founded upon equivocation honesty does not only mean merely to obey it, indeed not. And today especially come in the history of the world. And we more eager to find an honest man than honesty yet it is ever loyal to those who prove first," said Colonel Roosevelt, "then come this honesty is a duty we owe each of ourselves." And here honesty plays its most important role in honesty that honesty may honor him for a time, scrutiny or investigation is focused upon covered that individual loses self-respect then, having lost that cornerstone of a life, even if his future conduct does not. Back that ring of genuineness. And why is self of honest intentions not paralyzed as rectitude gives confidence to the heart on the path of truth, for a thief will find soldier in battle will stand fearlessly store "honor uphold the humble in when, when we are pointing the finger of love that we ourselves are honest in all count, honest goods, honest principles, a to ourselves; then can we truly be honest to ourselves; then can we truly be honest that we know the virtue of true honesty. Marcus Garvey is honest in all his efforts. L. BURROWS, Second Assistant Secretary. HONESTY is that upright, sincere, fair and honorable dealing with others, free from trickishness and fraud, acting and having the disposition to act at all times according to justice and equity or correct moral principles. Decent, honorable, truthful, chaste and faithful, it is an indispensable quality found in all individuals who respect their integrity, which manifests itself at all times on all occasions throughout the ramifications of that individual's life, which everyone admires in another if he himself possess it. Honesty in all mankind is a natural attribute, and by that I mean that honesty cannot be cultivated as you would a habit or acquired as you would a taste, hence it is an element of our moral makeup, because all men are honest in some way or other. Honesty in all walks of life, therefore, is the one indispensable quality that cannot be omitted if we want to be successful, for no business can stand the test of time if founded upon equivocation and deceit. And here honesty does not only mean merely to obey the eighth commandment. No, indeed not. And today especially honesty means more than at any time in the history of the world. And why? Because the world today is more eager to find an honest man than in the days of the stoic Diogenes. And if it is less skeptical in its quest it is more critical in its selection yet it is ever loyal to those who prove true. "Honesty first," said Colonel Roosevelt, "then courage, then brains; and, more than this, honesty is a duty we owe each other and still more do we owe it to ourselves." And here again permit me to call your attention to that ancient philosopher, Pythagorus, who said, "Above all things, and here honesty plays its most important part, for honesty for if his conduct is so honest, then may honest him for a time, but as soon as the searchlight of scrutiny, or investigation is focused upon his inner life and the sham is discovered that individual loses self-respect and cannot reverence himself; then, having lost that cornerstone of all virtues, his face will betray him, even if his future conduct does not. His enthusiasm, if it persist, will lack that ring of genuineness. And why? Because a mind conscious in itself of honest intentions is not paralyzed by fear of detection. Conscious rectitude gives confidence to the heart from a conviction of being in the path of truth, for a thief will fear each bush an officer, while a soldier in battle will stand fearlessly at the cannon's mouth. Therefore "honor shall uphold the humble in spirit." Let us, then, when we are pointing the finger of honest exactitude at another, be sure that we ourselves are honest in all things. Honest measure, honest count, honest goods, honest principles, and, in conclusion, let us be honest to ourselves; then can we truly be honest to all the world besides, for we shall know the virtue of true honesty. I believe Marcus Garvey is honest in all his efforts. P. L. BURROWS, Second Assistant Secretary-General. THE LITTLENESS OF MAN I that man was given dominion over bird and all things. Yet how doth man in all it a little mountain? As to birds and her themselves day in and day out, while and is man born but to work, beget h thy dull-sighted eyes! Behold the wont It is written that man was given dominion over birds and fishes and beasts and all things. Yet how doth man in all his pride compare with even a little mountain? As to birds and beasts and fishes, they provide for themselves day in and day out, while man doth starve and famish. To what end is man born but to work, beget his kind and die? O Man, lift up thy dull-sighted eyes! Behold the wonders of the world and the infinite universe, about thee! Behold thyself! See thy many failings and imperfections and thy stupendous littleness! Go to! Man was made for the world and not the world for man. Nay, nay! cries the egotist. But man is a mendicant in a kingdom in which he should be king. Only a leaf in the great forest, a grain of dust borne upon the wind, a banquet spread for worms. Dust, he returneth unto dust. Thou egotist, thou helpless creature, out upon thee, with thy puny griefs and sorrows! O Man! who hath dominion over all things, hath no control over his own heart, and who in his blind egotism seteth himself above me, who am but a little runlet of water. O Man! I tell thee when thou art dusty bones I shall still be here, singing, smiling, laughing at the ancient sun or talking to some other poor purbish human fool in the dark Go to! The wheel of life turneth ever faster and faster. The "moving finger writes and, having writ, moves on." Your woes will be the woes of all your kind—today, tomorrow. It has ever been and will axer continue. 'Out upon thee; thou poor blind fool! Out upon thee! "Go to the ant, thou sluggard; learn from her and become, wise." THOMAS W. ANDERSON. THE SPIRIT OF THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION THE spirit of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is that feeling within us that urges us on in spite of any obstacle that may confront us—that subconsciousness in every individual which is so often neglected. The spirit of the U. N. I. A. is that true spirit made manifest by all of its members who are willing to work and to give their life's best for the cause of African redemption—not the dissatisfied overpaid slaves, but those who are willing to sacrifice from almost any angle. Quite a lot of persons, foremost among whom are a number who, although in many cases fitted to fill positions of responsibility in this great cause, nevertheless, but one unimportant pretext or another, throw up the sponge and change their position merely because they cannot take their own way, becoming the most bitter antagonists of African as we enlist. Allow us these very many people to gain to gain and transform their abilities to learn; we require of them world. If they could sing the whole song the machinery and forever raised the progress of the only appoinment that will ever be able to produce the desired effect upon the nations of the world. We have been laying much blaze on the other fellow, but it is time that we take an introspective view of ourselves as a people. We find many men and women among our own race who are the most bitter opponents of this cause from every angle; but these persons will never be able to stop the forward march of the 400,000,000 Negroes; neither will any individual or group of individuals be permitted to clog the wheels of progress simply because be or they may have a few fixed ideas of their own; for remember that this spirit, born of a spark sent out by our indomitable leader, Marcus Garvey, cannot be destroyed, for it fills the whole earth; hence do what they will or may it cannot be smothered by any man living. The true spirit of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, wherever found, is the spirit of the new Negro, which, being interpreted, in the spirit of liberty in its fullest sense or death in its most ignominious form, whether be in the Orient or in the Occident; in the East, West, North or South. We are determined to accomplish our aim rationally if allowed to function peacefully; if not, then to assert ourselves in the next best possible manner when the proper occasion arises. P. L. BURROWS, Second Assistant Secretary-General. THE REASON WHY I ACCEPTED By ROBERT L. POSTON, Secretary-General of the U. N. I. A. I am a young American who has been trained to love the American institutions and have been my country's defender in many ways. As a teacher and the son of teachers, I long-taught those principles of Americanism such as was so soon forgotten after peace, and the importance of the country's honor. Knowing of any race, completion have breathed out higher sentiments for my country than I, and few have been more willing to pay the supreme sacrifice. While under the colors in zhè late world war, I penned a little poem which was published in the 'Trench and Camp Magazine' and which was circulated extensively among the soldiers as a means of assisting them to "carry on." The poem expresses so clearly my feeling toward my country, and fits in so aptly in the support of a position I shall presently outline, that I shall quote in full the poem, which is short. It is entitled 'I'll Be Back.' "I'll be back when matters stand to suit me, Helen. When it's clear the bully holds no quarters here; I'll return and, oh, such tales I will be telling. When the thing is done in Wilson Jackson, dear. "I'll be back when Belgium's wrongs have been stoned for, When poor Serbia—bleeding Serbia—is intact; When we get the things for years the world has groaned for. You may look for me for I'll be coming back. "I'll be back when nowhere in this land of sorrow Can a ravager erect the praise of men; When this hell on earth with its attendant horror Is abused, and light of love is ushered in. So prepare your heart to wait for this great dawning. Ask the God of love to make you strong within; I'll be back when all that, dark has turning to morning; Otherwise, my dear, I'll not be back at all. I have taken the time to speak thus of my loyalty and devotion to this country for the reason that when a young American declares in favor of the Garvey program he is quite often accused by the opposer of the propaganda as being unpatriotic and disloyal. I am MODERN NEGRO'S CONTRIBUTION TO MUSICAL ART MODERN NEGRO'S CONTRIBUTION TO MUSICAL ART By MABEL TRAVIS WOOD Everyone knows that, Negroes have given to America much of her most typical and beautiful folk music through the spirituals and plantation songs that have grown out of the life of the race. But what musical art owes to the modern Negro composer is not so generally recognized. There is today a wealth of music, both sacred and secular, which has come from the poss of Negro composers. Some of it is based upon the spirituals, and some Negro composers are Harriet B. Burroughs, Coleridge-Taylor, Will Marion Cook, R. Nathaniel Dett, Carl R. Dillon, J. Roamond Johnson and Clarence Cameron. While have during the past fifteen years written songs of rare melody and originality, songs that will live. Of late there has been a steady increase in the appreciation of musical compositions by Negroes, both among white and colored groups. Church choirs have given over services to sacred compositions by Negro composers. Many women's clubs have devoted time at their sessions, to the performance of religious compositions by Negro composers, especially the colored groups operating locally under the auspices of service have presented special programs of Negro music combining the attributes with songs by modern Negro composers. In New Haven, Conn., a festival of Negro music presented prepared to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that my life has been as devoted toward the upbuilding of this country as that of any young man of my years and opportunity. Whether it was as a teacher in my native State of Kentucky, as soldier in the world war, or as editor in the city of Detroit, my record stands to refute any adversary charge that 'may come against me. Now for the query, "Why I entered the Garvey movement?" I did not enter the Garvey movement suddenly. The truth is I did not enter it soon enough. I deliberated quite long. At : : time the program first came to my notice. I had just been discharged from the army and was editing a paper in the city of Detroit known as the "Detroit Contender." I and my brother, I was associated with me in this business and had to build up a worthy weekly in the city of Detroit that we gave but little attention to new movements. We read a deal of what Mr. Garvey was doing and I must confess that his movement readily appealed to us, but we did not enter it as champions, and why should we? Had not our country promised us all after the战? What was it that Mr. Garvey had to offer that our country had not already promised? Wympathized with Mr. Garvey but confused with the ability of the Negro to work out his destiny here, with the assistance of his blinded disciple. We read ourselves unsurveying to our work and were soon rewarded by the editors of one of the most powerful works starting, even to ourself, for within the brief space of a year we had become a power in the State of Michigan. Our paper was by far the most extensively read paper in the State. Our editorials reproduced in such papers as the "St. Louis Argus," "Pittsburgh Courier," "Dallas Express," "Competitor Magazine," etc. We welcomed this popularity as affording us a greater opportunity to serve, and with this in view, we entered definitely into the politics of the city of Durrett, realizing that some of the needed reforms could be secured only in this way. We had three great political battles; two of them we won. The third one we lost, but not inglobedly. The people now were drawn to us and they looked upon the "Contender" as theirs. We set out to do a few unusual things in a newspaper way, such as getting out "extras," "special editions," etc. and, as a result, we found a steady source of income coming our way, and we began to have visions of real success. But we were determined to keep faith with the people. We defended them whenever defense was necessary. by a Negro community chorus and in Augusta, Ga., a musical program made up largely of compositions by Negroes brought fresh musical knowledge and appreciation. The Bureau of Community Music of Community Service, 315 Fourth Avenue, New York City, is endeavoring to foster this growing interest and to acquaint more music groups, both white and colored, with the possibilities offered by compositions by modern Negro composers. A bulletin, "Music Composed by Negroes," has been prepared by this bureau and is sent out at the nominal charge of ten cents. It lists the compositions of seven of the foremost Negro composers, telling for what combinations of voices and instruments they are arranged and where they may be acquired. Examples of well-balanced programs of Negro music which already have been presented are given. To help groups desiring to take up the study and performance of Negro spirituals, the bulletin mentions the best existing collections of this type of music. Community service has made in this bulletin the first complete and satisfactory compendium of music by Negro composers. It will prove enlightening not only to Americans in general who may be unacquainted with the types that are contained in the storehouse of Negro music, but to colored groups which may not be familiar with all of the music that their race has produced. WEDDING BELLS Married, in Chicago, on April 15, 1921, M. A. D. Larson of Lyons 1898 Walnut mow and Mia E. D. McCaffery of 317 North Arlington avenue. The Republic party management seems to be losing all they can to allocate the Negro support of the parity, and they are doing it badly and unfairly. In one of the northern states I learn through communications that one of the Federal hospitals there has been put in charge of white physicians to attend to Negro patients who were wounded or otherwise gambled while serving on the other side, to the prejudice of Negro physicians trained for this kind of work, who have not even been given a look-in. Then the gallant, old Ninth Cavalry, one of the crack Negro fighting units, made famous by its harmless and courage under General Gur Y. Henry in the western campaigns against the Indians, has received the reward for its fidelity by the gift of a beautiful black eye from the administration, which has refused to transport from the Philippines at government expense the families of these old fighters who are no longer fit. These are hard lines upon which these men have fallen, and they must thank this administration, which next year will be strongly appealing to the black breathen for support to help return it to power, but will they respond with alacrity, or at all? The Negroes throughout the country are coming to see things in a new light, especially political things, and are learning how to retaliate upon those who are responsible for the indignities and insults heaped upon their race by official martinets who elect to express the opinions of the administration in these matters and to act for it without first obtaining its consent. I do not believe that President Harding is fully committed to all of the facts in these cases. He is much too shrewd a politician not to be able to see and realize what the ultimate consequences of such injustice to the Negro element, which has some rights, will be, and the certain and sure effect at the polls on election day next November if these decisions are allowed to stand as the expressions of the will of his administration. There is a limit to the Negroes' patience, and the worm is some day going to turn. The instance cited indicates that that day is approaching. The administration or its bureaucratic agents have drawn the bountie in this time down the gauntlet. The Negroes who have a spark of manhood, self-respect and a willingness to accept the challenge and will undertake to give the G. O. P. a Roland for its Oliver at the place where every worker is a sovereign and can express This attitude of the Negro is largely responsible for the co-operative union between the white Northern and Southern, men, including President Harding, to form a more perfect easily controlled and harmonious party organization out of the best elements of the white North and South; to eliminate the so-called purchable Negro delegates from the South and to bring about a stronger bond of union between white men of both sections for political and business reasons. This seems to me to be, the significance of the present program of absofness and apathy, between the white brothel; and the black brothel have great potential. They have carried to labor and to Wall. When Benjamin Harrison was president communist party, but gave the United States a right to owe to the government and a certain station, the House of Nicholas, one of the great economic poets in the Western States. The eleventh member of the United States, Henry Secretary of State, threatened the scheme and the then Secretary of State of the United States, I. G. Malus, retired from the diplomatic discussion. But when Franklin Johnson came into office, the United States of America not only got the House St. Nicholas, but the whole country, and what is more is going to hold it and dominate 'as policy we matter whether the troops now there are removed or not. That is only a smoke screen to give American bankers and capitalists an opportunity to dig in, and with their great wealth to stay in and exploit that country. The ways of the white "gemmets" are sometimes past finding out until they, themselves explain their tricks and this they rarely do. I spent my young manhood in the city of Washington, going there with my mother, a rimway slave from Piscataway, Maryland, after the first battle of Bull Run and remaining until 1892, when I went to in Cincinnati, Ohio, where I served as a reporter under Perry L. Heath on the Cincinnati Commercial Galette, of which the late Murat Halstead was formerly owner and editor. White living in Washington, I was employed for a number of years as messenger by the late L. L. Crounse, brother of the governor of Nebraska, Mr. Crounse was the Washington correspondent of the New York Times, which was at that time edited by Mr. Loula J. Jennings, and I had many opportunities of coming into personal contact with many notable and distinguished men who frequented Mr. Crounse's office for social and business purposes. Among them, the great author and lecturer, Bayard Taylor, Jas. Tickner Fields, John B. Gough, the Volsteadian of those days, and scores of Senators and Congressmen in quest of the lightlight, through the media of the Times. One of my duties as messenger was to go to the residence of the great Charles Sumner, who then lived at the Arlington Hotel Annex, at 53 North Street, where any communication he might have for in the next day's paper to my employer. This was one of the most pleasing tasks assigned to me, for Mr. Sumner was the idol of the Negro people because of his great interest in their welfare and his championship of the famous Civil Rights Bill, or which he was the author. Therefore, to be permitted to come into personal contact with such a great man was glory enough for me. I usually found him busy at his table poring over manuscripts or writing letters. Sometimes he wore a thin black coat in summer without a vest, and if the weather was unusually warm his shirt collar would be unbuttoned and the black tie removed. The first time I was sent to him there were two or three gentlemen callers to see him, and I hesitated to approach him until they had withdrawn Espying me standing near the door of his workshop, he said: "Do you wish to see me, young man?" I replied: "I am the bearer of a message from the New York Times, but wait until you are finished with those gentlemen" "Sit down, please," he said, pointing to a roopy easy chair. I sat down for about five minutes, when the gentlemen withdrew, and I arose and handed Mr. Sumner the letter, which he read, then going to another smaller table near the window, took from a drawer a large envelope, took out of it the paper which it contained, read it carefully, replaced it, and then sealing the envelope, handed it to me, saying: "Please give this to Mr. Crounse, and say to him that I am very much obliged to him for calling my attention to this matter. Can you remember all of that?" I told him I could, word for word. He smiled, and as I started to leave him he called me back, and said; still smile: "You have waited here sometimes, and I have seen money and money is useful to me. I know and appreciate its value. I am ready to use this," handing me a new皱额 bill, with the characteristic signature on its face of F. E. Spinner. I thanked the Sepator in suitable phrase and left him with the feeling that he was as good as he was great. Another distinguished gentleman with whom I frequently came into contact in the office was the Marquette de Chambrun of France, author of "The Executive Power in America," and Attache of the French Embassy and very popular in official circles and with the journalist, around Washington at that time. He used to drop into the office quite often and was one of the most agreeable-and friendly men I ever knew. He was particularly interested in the Negro, and displayed a remarkable knowledge of our history and progress in this country. Finding that he was so keenly interested in what the race was trying to achieve under freedom, I kept him supplied at his request with the best Negro publications of the period, among them such publications as the New York Age, The People's Advocate, the Richmond Planet, the Philadelphia Tribune, the Dejortt Plain Dearer, and such books by Negro authors as I thought might interest him. This, I thought, was good missionary work, and I am pleased to appreciate it. One day he brought it and a copy of his book, bittened it and prevented it to me with his compliments, and it is still one of my prized possessions. One of the most politically and courteous members of the Senate, Senator John Hewson was Hue, Gao, and President, of Missouri, Democratic Senator from that State, who lived near were to be sent up the river to examine and be baptized in a baptism room and a baptism hall. As a public man he had constantly retorn, and I knew little about him being baptized in the Senate to set the matter by the chair. He was not a demographer, anatomist, and wherever he had occasion to speak to some Senate he did not qualify and made unsuccessful a few well chosen words and set down. He was a good dresser and poser, and the galleries admired him. He was popular with the Senate employees from the judge up on some of whom aped him in manner, speech and dress. If as Shakespeare says: "The apparel of proclaims the man" "Bachelor" "Gentleman George" "had sufficient apparel to justify the claim" "to be the gentleman which he consequently was." There were two outstanding characters among the public man of those days who were conspicuous in the public eye because of the fact that they never were overcoats. They were Hainibal Hamlin of Maine, Lincoln's first running mate, and Luke Poland, of Vermont. Mr. Hamlin always wore a black two-button spike-tail coat and usually a high hat. Mr. Poland effected a blue cloth spike-tail coat with metal buttons. The coat was a good fit and was very stylish, which became a member of the lower house. Visitors to the Senate and House galleries always requested the official guides to point out these two celebrities, both of whom defied the weather and the fashions. --- One of the finest looking members of the lower house was General Nathaniel P. Banks, of Massachusetts, tall, angular, graceful, amable, and witty. His fine, well-chiseled features set off by a wolf combed shock of silver gray hair and moustache, made him conspicuous in any gathering of men or women. His fund of witty stories and reminiscence of the Civil War, in which he pinned the fate of the slave population of Negro troops, made him one of the most popular men among his colleagues on the floor and in the lobbies. There was one Congressman from Mississippi that I never looked at without the feeling of anger and the bitterness of soul, born of the memory of the evil deeds of those who wronged us. When this man was first pointed out to me by one of the colored employees of the House I thought he was mutate, his complexion was a dark yellow, so dark that he would be classified as of the Negro race by those who did not know him. I had read of his participation in the roles and massacre of Negroes in Yazoo county, Mississippi, and of his earlier participation in the Civil War, as a Confederate officer in the extermination of some Negro troops who had been captured by the rebels, and how he had personally bayoneted a Negro baby, snatched from the hands of its agonized mother, and I hated his name and hated him beyond the power of any words of mine to adequately describe. After the Yazoo massacre plots this thing was elected to Congress. I saw him strutting to his seat on the Democratic side and I asked my friend who he was, and he answered: "Why, that is the famous General Chalmers, of Mississippi." "You mean the infamous," I replied, as we left the gallery. ATLANTA, Ga. (Special).—That the Negro in America is in every way a hundred years ahead of the natives of South Africa is the statement of Dr. James Henderson, a noted educator from that country, who is spending a few months in America in the study of race relations and Negro education. This is due, he said, to the fact that the American Negro came much earlier into contact with Christian civilization and has had far greater opportunities for education and self-development. He was particularly impressed with the economic progress which the race has made in this country, which, he said, was far beyond anything he had expected. Dr. Henderson has given his life to the education of the natives of British South Africa, having been for many years principal of Loyne Institute, the great African Tuskegee, a missionary institution with a faculty of sixty and a student body of 200. While in Atlanta he visited a number of Negro colleges and was greatly pleased with them, commenting most favorably on their fine equipment, competent and well-trained teachers, and intelligent students. Of the well-trained American Negroes, we are rendering fine services in African mothers and social workers. Wherever they have been tried they have made good, was his emphatic testimony. He believes that the number of such workers will greatly increase, and that in this way the educated, American Negro is destined to make a great contribution to Africa's development. The future and the soul are inseparable; you cannot with ease consider and without thought of the other, other who bear consideration would be imperfect, individual has a soul, hence a future also, for where there is no future the soul is lost. The soul of man is revealed in their achievement, both in the spiritual world and in the material one. The spiritual world is abstractive, while the material world is a reasonable tangibility, so far as we are able to see the accomplishment and development of man, in the great realm of materialism, is a concrete fact. Mankind occupy two great realms namely, the material and the spiritual. In the material realm we have various elements which are not always operative for the general benefit and good of all mankind; some are destructive, while others are, appropriately the larger number, constructive, yet productive of the greatest good; to contract this is to accept that there is more evil in man than good. Now, if this were so, the world would not be what it is today. In this great material realm, which comprised the non-spiritual universe, we have the element of politics, economy, commerce, trade and industry. Perhaps you will be surprised to know that all these things are a part of the soul of man, which is life itself, and which, if taken away, would leave man a hopeless being, who could not exist at all. The spiritual composite of the human life constitutes a minor factor in his natural existence in this age, because the age is absorbed in materialism. The amount of mental energy expended to cope with the conditions arising daily from the chaos and confusion of life, and the struggle of mankind, far out-balances the expended spiritual energy. Spiritual energy is expended in spiritual thinking, and of the soul, not even on the Lord's day, do the majority of the people think wholly spiritual. The reason for this is the fierce struggle which they make for their physical existence, amid the strife of the survival of the fittest. And more and more this struggle is becoming keener for the Negro; the strife for bread and butter is a long one, and makes it almost absolutely impossible for the average person to think more of, or in the spiritual, than of, or in the material, consequently that particular race, group, or nation which has yet to secure for itself a place in the political sun, or in the economic world, and gives itself over wholly to the worship of the spiritual, that race, or that group, will not be able to stand against the forces of the great economic pressure of a materialistic human combination. The theory advanced by Darwin, of the survival of the fittest, which was accepted by Haeckel, the German scientist, who, in turn, promulgated that the weak is, or seemed to be, doomed to be the stepping stone of the strong, are all reacting now with startling effect, if not threatening results. The intelligent races at that time seized upon this theory and the suggestion of Haeckel, whereupon a ruthless campaign of exploitation and oppression was embarked upon, accompanied with plunder and spoliation, which they have carried on for a half century or more, up until 1914, when the great God brought upon the spoilers' heads a mighty catatrophe by which came a military situation, which causes a universal awakening of the oppressed races of humankind, who are now striking out! striking out! for freedom and democracy, for the eyes of the oppressed become opened. Now, this theory of the survival of the litteat, and the idea that the weak must always be the stepping stone of the strong, are reacting in two distinct ways. First, this reaction has injured the plans of the spoilers of perpetuating the practice of oppressing the weak, of making the weak the everlasting peon of the strong; secondly, the theory of the survival of the fittest is not only forcing the imperialistic, and the capitalistic exploiters of the human race, within that race, to change their attitude toward the weak and downtrodden of the human race groups and nations of the earth, but it is also creating in these race groups a sense of self-preservation, the First Code, so that if they do not endeavor and overcome this new condition, arising out of which a new state, which is developing into a situation that is facing the races of man in the future, as a result of this reaction, which will eventually culminate in a gigantic struggle, in which will rest the entire future of the human race. All these things are being brought about by the forces and the influences of a great materialistic existence. The Negro race, under the leadership of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, is responding to the great call of the hour, because the hour has struck for it to strike out also for the freedom and democracy, which can only be fully realized in the continuation of Africa, already the drama, radio wireless telegraphy in preparing the mind of the people. All these things brought about by the realization of the necessity of adopting the principle of self-preservation, because the race that shapes in this period may sleep forever sleep. And it is in this great struggle upon the greatest function. Once upon a time they backed toward the slaughter and the Bison but their salvation—they have proved in delivery for 900 years, since they were no invasions stricken—they have survived their struggle about the disappearance of the Bison. The God anointed with glory and glory, but it was a united and personal event that brought to life if it can happen for this great special change. If such situation would not have been possible, it would happen, at that time, because it was not easy to albeit that delivery would have combined more longer without a fatal similarity. They used to wrestle in a sinistic spirit—and some of them do today—they did not know the true God, for any race that whip and hollow on Sundays in their places of worship thinking that it is serving God, is not surviving the right God, but some mysterious being in Milton's space, and that is located in the milky way somewhere between hell and heaven; if a race keeps this sort of foolishness up in this age it will have seized its own doom, not only its economic or material but also its spiritual doom is sealed by its own act; such a race can never survive because God will have absolutely nothing to do with it. The time has arrived that we should now break away from this fanaticism; the time has come that we, a race of people, distinct and separate from those of the powers that be in Europe and this western clime, should refuse to be led by the white man's leadership, and dominated by his raise religion, who presches Christ on the one hand and practices the devil on the other, and blames the misfortune and suffering on the enslaved and downtrodden which he himself brought about—because man is responsible for all the physical and material conditions of this life, so you are—not going to give any excuse in the sight of God, at that judgment day—now he blames this suffering and this condition on the action of or the will of some mysterious spirit or force or being, and gives you a mysterious God somewhere as your only future hope. But the true God is not responsible for your suffering and mine, for your condition and mine, we are to change this condition to suit ourselves, and we cannot do it individually, that is why it is necessary that we should unite and come together into one mighty whole and prepare ourselves to strk'ko the blow of redemption and emancipation. The true God is the spirit of life eternal, of happiness and prosperity in earth, no well as in heaven—now if we have no happiness in earth we shall have none in heaven, if we are not respected down here we shall not be respected in heaven. God rewards in His celestial glory after your achievement in government, and in human development—we must make our own contribution to civilization—and we cannot change our color, pray, and wear good clothes and do it, we have got to get down to practical business; and in this age we require more young men of science than religion—Liberty Hall must not be turned into some religious camp—when young college men speak from the platform of Liberty Hall, let them speak from the subject of the science of industry, economy, chemistry, engineering, and mechanical development, we have got too many theologians now, we want men of science, because the world, in the future, as the great master-mind has made it plain, is going to be controlled not by religion but by science, remember that. The world is reconstructing itself on a scientific basis, which is based on the principle of materialism and conflict. Heaven is only a spiritual conception of the mind, the glory of God is not in heaven alone; for the kingdom is come it is here, Jesus Christ brought it when He came down here 1,000 years ago; it was the result of His redemption of the human race; Christ did that that you and I may live, and enjoy the benefits of the creation of God, and the fruits of the earth—for He created all races of men to dwell on this earth. Your salvation must be achieved on this earth, or you are lost! "The human soul simply goes to rest in heaven, where, according to your achievement, you shall be rewarded. Therefore, building churches without industry, without an economic foundation, will not solve the problems of the race; now, if you are not respected by man down here, don't think that God is going to respect you—for what? Because he made every man in His own image. When He created the human race he did not say to one group, "You be a slave, work for your masters faithfully, let them oppress you, let them hash you. I will after all is done, reward you in heaven, where you shall find rest and bliss." That was only a white man's theory of the hereafter. The greatest of all questions is, at this time, the future security of your children and children's children; the question is whether this race of ours, which God has created also, in His own image, shall live or die? That's the question confronting you and every other member of the race at this time. Of course, most of us are giving it little or no thought, but the time is coming when, through the acts of the oppressors of man, we will regret bitterly. Since then you cannot live in the spirit alone in the universe of Christ, you cannot do it in a terrible material world, where a great human content and strife is being perpetrated for the best there is to be obtained out of life, when the story of mankind are rejuxtaposed themselves on the basis of materialism rather than spiritualism and why, you may ask the question. It is because this materialism is a part of the physical existence while you live, in which is obtained your very bread and better. LOYAL MEMBER OF THE PITTSTOWN LOCAL DIES William Smith Brown, a loyal member of the Pittsburgh local of the Universal Home Improvement Association, died April 27. Mr. Brown was born in Liggettburg, Va., March 19, 1838. He was a loving father and a devoted husband. He leaves to mount his loss a widow, one daughter and two sisters. "The difference between men who succeed and men who fail is that the men who succeed use all that power, the men who fail don't." says Professor W. H. Ferris in one of his illustrating lectures at a meeting of the New York local of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Ops need not agree with Mr. Ferris as to the reason why men fall in order to agree with him that success requires the use of all the power anyone is capable of putting in action to become successful. So much has been written and talked about men and women credited as successful in all pursuits of life that aspiring young men and women have been trying to find out from among the various reasons given one standard or a set rule confirming to which the chances for success will be certain. How can I 56 successful? The writer has an abiding faith in the education and it is because the men and women who have and still are contributing to human progress are educated. Their developed minds plowed by constructive thinking discover the inner self—the ego—the driving force separate and distinct from the physical body. This key is a light that shows what course to pursue and by its inherent qualities fit the character to withstand the strain on the way to success. True learning is then the capacity to understand and the ability to adjust or fit it with the least friction one self to various mental states rationally, to engage in new work with an optimistic outlook, to enter new enterprises with self-assurance; to realize that time is an arbor that holds the scales of justice evenly, in the end to "Know myself." This is the age of material progress and conditional service, men and women are concerned with the quantity of their possible desires in that their acceptance depends on their wealth, standing, influence and position. Whatever may be the hopes or aspirations of those who would achieve success, it is a basic principle that the mind should become the guide and mental freedom the executive that assists at all times. The senses and their impulses must be held in check as they are subordinate and can not guide the searcher to true success. The space between knowledge and physical inaction must be bridged by the self-generating power of the spirit. That the hurry and bustle of life, together with the exacting cares and duties is complicated by clashing ambitions, cross purposes and antagonistic interests will be conceived; they make the struggle worth while and act as a balance to the effort being used to gain the goal success. That success itself is not reducible to a given definition, is not generally known; it varies with the individual and represents what a man or woman may consider it to be when they attain or realize that on which the heart has been set. It is here that we find the talent, personality, intuition, capacity of the individual is taken into account together with the possibilities that were in the enterprise in which they engaged; the popular assent is that success has been won. An analysis will find that the question in the second paragraph is unanswered in spite of the real progress achieved. The reader must hold firmly in the mind's eye the foregoing outline to grasp the basic facts of success, having no immediate relationship with the material advancement by which it is known. Guides to Success To achieve success a necessary requirement is to understand the fundamental laws that guide to success and in themselves become positive attributes of success. Thought is essential, for without the constant application of definite ideas aimed at the accomplishment of success, the distance to be covered appears more than human endurance can withstand. The cumulative effect of these constant repetitions and the actual use of forces at the disposal of the searcher then give valuable help in adding the solution of the problem success. The mind is first focused, on ideas that have a stimulating effect on the physical body; the senses are held in check acting only when the mind by direction of the ego or spirit commands the performance of an act or duty. Words that are inherently powerful form; the foundation on which the building success is to be erected by an object which represents the thought in eminence. The will is put in control, a rebirth takes place in the psychic life of the aspirant beginner, the darkness of doubt is swept away and at once here and now, onward and upward the initiate takes the first step to success. The feeling of novelty will give place to a sense of calm security, poise and power. Kays of Power Now in the spirit of a crucader within the shadows of the barriers to advancement, he hurls defiantly the first blow of the campaign. Faith and hope are realities that will sustain you under the most crucial tests of human experience. Energy and determination comes next, meaning that your attitude is ever on the alert to do and to dare; determination to see the end of anything begun. Courage and enthusiasm to overcome the hardships found in reaching a goal; enthusiasm to overcome and rise above physical fatigue. Confidence and inspiration in the forces you are using and in yourself; inspiration as a companion at all times. Purity in purpose, the whole man thrown into the fray, unavoidable, android, unconquerable. Work as a master of some gainful occupation.

April 17, 1922.—The regular monthly meeting of the above division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was held at St. Mark's Hall on Tuesday evening, April 10. Quite an appreciable number turned out and conspicuous, indeed, was the absence of the wont to be agitation, discontentment and passage-at-arms as the various business was dealt with calmly and dispassionately. On the platform with the presiding officer, Rev. S. M. Jones president, were Mrs. Ada Hyatt and Miss Liza Clarke, first and second lady vice-presidents, respectively; Mr. U. A. Leo Grant, treasurer and choir master; Mr. G. P. Llewellyn, chairman of the Hon. Advisory Board. The lady president and first (make) vice-president were absent owing to the former recuperating her health in the country and the latter being ill. At the doors and gate were to be seen doing duty, With all the air of militarism, units of the African Legion in khaki uniform under command of Capt. S. Gibson. Quite some time after the usual hour of commencing, the gavel brought the meeting to order and briefly and apologetically the president explained the cause of his lateness and his hope that the second vice-president had been present and was carrying on until his arrival, and so asked the omission of the opening formalities and their going straight to business. This having had the consent of the house the minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed, whereupon it was duly moved and assented to that there be a suspension of the standing order of the meeting to lay a protest against the activities of the so-called, unorganized Libertarian Chapter of the U. N. L. A. of this city, whose officers are suspended, expelled and in the majority non-financial members of the Kingston Division, and whose workings are malicious antagonistic to the division to the extent of their giving the most derogatory, abusive and otherwise things of the officers of the division at their meeting on the streets with the intent, as they have often admitted, of handicapping the division's progress. The mover of the greatest admitted that, while the purish of Kingston (which the division's Jurisdiction covers) is large enough for the working of a Chapter or more to assist in the spreading of the propaganda of this world-wide movement, yet he maintained that unless said Chapter or Chapters are constitutionally organized (and they are not), adhering to the rights laid down in the constitution and general law, wherein all officers shall be of reputable moral standing and good education such as to bring them within respectful recognition of the cultured, of such a community, to say nothing of working in harmony with and under control of the division of whose charter they operate, "then let," said he, "the propaganda work proceed slowly as heretofore rather than the prestige of this organization be lowered in any way." After a general discussion, during which references were made to the different clauses of the constitution that this so-called Chapter violated, and the very disgusting effect it is burying on most of the higher intelligence of the gregulate to which the division caters for assistance in the putting over of its program, it was resolved that a resolution to that effect be sent to the parent body. This resolution was unanimously carried after the same was moved by Mr. Samuel Bowe and seconded by Mr. J. H. Rhule, as follows: "Whereas, We the officers of the Kingston Division No. 100 of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Community League having heard spoken in public from the platform of Messrs. Taylor, Christian and Aarons, antagonists of the Kingston Division, to wit, that the officers of the said Kingston Division No. 100 are rogues and vagabonds, and that said officers are responsible for waste and mfa-appropriation of the funds of the division; and Whereas, Certain charges laid by the said W. A. Christian against the said officers of the Kingston Division Sep. 100, and said officers having been tried before the Honorable Advocacy Board and honorably acquitted, as there was no foundation for said charges, and as said Taylor, Christian and Aarons continue their unfounded charges and vile utterances against the officers, thereby prejudicing the minds of the public and gathering a following and operating under the name of the U. N. J. A. for no legitimate purpose, said men being not duly appointed representatives of the organization; there be it Resolved. That we, the member, despoise the actions of these men, and solemnly protest against the operation of any Chapter by such individuals, and that we further, give our confidence in the office of the said Kirkintillog Division, they having given entire satisfaction in putting the division on a sound working basis, and that a copy of their resolution he sent the parent body. The regular order of the meeting having, been resumed, the following was dealt with: 1. Matters arising out of the minutes. 2. Cash statement for the month of March. 3. Auditor's report for three months ending January, 31, 1923. 4. Report of committee drafting by laws. 5. Suggestions on the good and welfare of the divistop. 6. Nomination and election of officers for vacant seats. The auditor's report that accompanied his vouched statement of accounts was very exhaustive and elected much appreciative remarks. To be brief, it showed a new membership of 235 and a total of 450 members that paid dues for the period under consideration. Of the dots outstanding on October 31, last, £60.11.6 has been paid, and of this amount nearly one third is on account of loans on local press (now $bandoned) and on a piano. The upkeep of brass band showed a deficit of £11.11.9, met from general fund, owing to members having grilled to keep their obligations of voluntary subscription for its upkeep. The Liberty Hall Bulldog Fund showed a figure collected for the months under consideration, that called forth much criticism, also a deposit of £100 on its premise on King street. The current working of the general fund showed a surplus of £33.13.0, while on the balance sheet there appeared an asset over liability of £32.7.1, an increase of £69 of the figure as of October, 31, 1922. The cash statement showed a credit balance of £162.10.5, of which amount £145.8.2 is carried by the Royal Bank of Canada and the Colonial Bank. The nominations and election resulted as follows: Third vice-president, Mr. G. P. Llewellyn; third vice-president, Miss Susan Puscy; Mr. Theo. Beecher, general secretary; Mrs. Ada Jones, lady secretary; the Hon. Advisory Board, Messrs. R. N. Johnson, H. Hilbert, S. McArlane, J. Royal, D. A. Russell and A. Williams. Article of "Amsterdam News" Appeared in "Daily Gleaner" April 11, 1923 Under the caption, "The Passing of Garvey," "The Amsterdam News" of New York publishes the following: Charles Garvey is passing. With him darkened and with a strong spotlight thrown upon him he has played his part and must soon give way to another actor. He has played his trump card and lost. "Under the indictment for using the mails to defraud, arrested for an alleged attempt to evade his just income tax, with several of his enterprises disposed from building for failure to pay rent, with judgments entered against his association for failure to take up his notes, with numbers of his employees forced to sue him in open court for failure to pay overdue salaries, with the publication of daily Negro Times suspended. We do not see how he will ever be able to withstand the onslaught. "Marcus Garvey has lost a great opportunity to serve the colored races of the world; possibly the greatest opportunity the race has had in recent times. He has been weighted and found wanting." The above unjust attack of the enemy copied by the "cleaner" here was as usual, the executive for a large and representative gathering at the street mass meeting of this division at the South Parade on the 11th inst., when all those big Negroes varying from the blackness of three midnights combined to pollid white, that are against this movement, and who skirted the meeting seeking information as to the attitude of the people concerning the above reported "celipse" (as unmistically they believed) of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, were treated to an exceptional display of contempt, not only by the speakers, but by the general audience, of the false and treacherous attempt to deceit and decey the moris and achievements of the greatest Negro that has ever lived in the Western Hemisphere; white, unmistakably, the usual manifestation of loyalty and devotion to the cause was at its acme. The opening code having been sung followed by prayer and the rally song, "Listen to the Voice of Garvey," which was unusually lively sung, the president, Rev. S. M. Jones, started the ball-rolling. Toucheing briefly, as he custom, the aims and objects of the association, he dealt with, the matters locally and otherwise that afflicted the association, and whether it was the beaming faces of Garveyism in the near limplight that gazed up at him, as if pressing him on, or some inward inspiration had seized him, his eloquence exceeded previous occasions. Among the many things said by him was his reference to the enemies within in the rank and file, whom, he said, from their educational standpoint should be the ones to welcome the program of the U. N. I. A., because it stands to pave the way that in necessary for the building of a powerful government on the continent of Africa that will extend to their portery, the many privileges that they are now debarbed. But instead he finds them the greatest enemy of the movement, which they cannot see is sooidal to fight against. "Those scattered sons," said he, "of Ethiopia, whether they be in America, the West Indian Islands, Europe or Asia, who comprehend this movement and find it, and avail themselves of it, will be elevated. and will save their position from perpetual degradation in the total assimilation. But those especially of the higher order of mind, with their culture, education and wealth who ignore it, and fight against it, will find the task suicidal." Prolonged ovation greeted the second speaker, Dr. Bruce Forbes, Executive Secretary, as he stepped forward. His subject was the "Philosophy of the White and the Black Man." Before entering on this subject he spent about 15 minutes refuting most contemptibly the vicious news that appeared in the "Gleaner," above referred to, of the "eclipse" of the President-General, which was punctuated throughout with applause and cheers. This speaker, it must be mentioned, is always at his best when he defends any charge against the association or its leader that is void of veracity. Speaking on the "Philosophy of the White and Black Man," he throw out much sober and healthy fear for thought as he disclosed-the ever dominating policy of the white man and the ever praying and humiliation of the black man. But to the people or race, said he, with a passion for taking away the countries of others and dignifying the robbery as conquests, the U. N. I. A. now sounds the clarion note of warning that it has no fear, for "right" not "might" is now the Negroes' slogan; and, again, since God is for us, as the Psalmist assured us, "Princes shall come out of Egypt and Ethiopia, shall stretch forth their hands unto God"—then who can be against us? As in the exordium of his address he closed up exhorting the people to arise and pave the way, as laid down by the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to return to the land of their fathers and acquaint themselves with their God and be peace. N.LEO PORTER, Reporter U. N. L. A., Kingston division, April 17, 1923. THE ISTHMIAN BRANCH OF THE U. N. I. A. HOLDS GRAND ORIENTAL RALLY AND HARVEST FESTIVAL THE ISTHMIAN BRANCH OF THE U. N. I. A. HOLDS GRAND ORIENTAL RALLY AND HARVEST FESTIVAL Iththian Branch, U. N. I. A., 155 Hudson Lane, Victory Hall, Colon, held a grand oriental rally and harvest festival on April 14 and 15 under the direction of W. W. Best, first vice-president and promoter of the African Black Cross Society. "Jacob's Tribo" was the presentation, which took in the president, B. S. E. Bt. Rose, as Jacob, with his four wives, Miss W. Campbell, lady president; Mrs. E. Walcot, first lady vice-president; Miss O. Thompson, Mrs. Maud Kerr, who represented Joseph's mother, and Selvin Skerritt, as Joseph, all orientally dressed. Brothers P. Campbell, chairman of the honorable Advisory Board; M. Daffey, John Thompson, second vice-president; J. Gordon, L. M. Williams, Alleyne Henry, third vice-president; sisters A. Campbell, general secretary; A. A. Hurdle, Ann Tuller, third vice lady president; Eliza Chambers, etc., represented the rest of the tribes, and spared no time in making the occasion one long to be remembered. The house was packed from pit to dome. Professor Mannie Blackeit and colleagues rendered the musical program, consisting of the latest jazz hits, which was so appreciated that when the hour of dismissal came there was not one who would willingly consent without regret. This is the first affair of its kind ever held on the Isthmus of Panama. Special mention must be made of the artistic paintings of the promoter, which decorated the wall and roostrum, thus revealing of a truth "Oriental manifestations." Gifts of corn, cane, coconuts, ele- ere freely given for the harvest festi- val, which commenced at 3.30 p. m. April 15. Teacher Llewellynny Gibson presided as chairman. A beautiful program was rendered, consisting of recitations, songs, and addresses, after which the chairman, with his brilliant eloquence, delivered a speech based on Garveyism, and proved himself master of the situation. All who listened to him as he commented from time to time on the contributions will never forget his earnest plea for race solidarity, honesty and loyalty, thus bringing about the redemption of Africa. The purpose of this function was to assist in bringing about the realization of an objective, toward which the above-named branch is laboring, and that is none other than an African Black Cross institution in the city of Colon. We have resolved, to hold a series of functions to raise funds for the purpose. We are convinced beyond a doubt that such an objective is a long-welt want in this city, and therefore hope, with the co-operation of the public, to be able, in the near future, to lay the cornerstone somewhere in the city of Colon. After a long and well-spent evening, in which all expressed their satisfaction and promised to live up to the teachings of the U. N. I. A., fostered by the Hon. Marseus Garvey, irrespective of their past experience (locally), went away to be refreshed and return for the 8 o'clock mass meeting. Thanking you for space, while we remain, sincerely yours for racial uplift, On Sunday, March 18, a very interesting entertainment was given in honor of Woman's Day by the officers and members of the Gatun Division No. 16, U. N. L. A., and A. C. L. Among these responsible for this successful function were: Mrs. Gertrude Lodge, president; Mrs. Caroline Butcher, general secretary; Mrs. Anne E. White, treasurer; Mrs. Roseannah Baptist, associate secretary; Mrs. Joanna Rose, chaplain, and Mrs. Jane Epper. Commander D. W. Watton and his boy brigade came over in full numbers from Colon, K. P. After parading the streets, a procession was formed, headed by the band with banners and flags which marched to the hall. When all had entered, the entertainment was opened by the lady president, who (after the singing of "From Greenland's Ice Mountains" and special reading and prayer by lady chapel) introduced Mrs. Carson of Victory Hall, Colon, as the lady who was asked to preside. The lady on taking charge of the very important position, made some very interesting remarks suitable to the day which was being celebrated. Many congratulations to Mr. U. Godfrey Ayre, executive secretary and choir master, who with the aid of Mrs. Mathen Brown (teacher), equipped a choir second to none. The Program 1. Opening hymn, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains." 2.

NO. 332, CELEBRATES SECOND ANNIVERSARY WITH SPLENDID PROGRAM On April 22 the Central Manitou Division No. 332 of the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. celebrated its second anniversary in a masterly fashion. The entire audience opened imbued with the spirit of occasion. The meeting was called to order at 8 p. m. with the president Bro. Joseph Lloyd, in the chair, by the singing of The Processional Hymn; "Shine On, Eternal Light," followed by the opening ode and prayer, by Bro.-R. A. Williams, of the Guantanamo's Division, who acted as chaplain by our request on this special occasion, and too much praise cannot be given him for the part he took. I also take this opportunity to congratulate Mr. Ben Stanley Hutchinson and Mrs. Ether Francis for their part in bringing our anniversary to a success. Mrs. Francis was at her best in selecting the various recitations rendered by the children under her control; she also was the moving spirit that gained the consent of the lay reader of the church, Mr. Josiah Paris, to postpone his service for the night to allow us to proceed with our program, which was a very lengthy one, and without whose consent it would have been a failure owing to the condition under which we have got to labor, as both branches occupy the same building, which handicap us to a great extent; also to Mr. Hutchinson for the preparation of the choir for that event. We also had in our midst two William Stephen, ex-president of our division, who gave us a historical review of our division from its birth up to and including the celebration of our second anniversary, he being one of the pioneers of this division. "Summing the whole together, April 22d was a day in our division long to be remembered. Following is the program: Processional, "Shine on, Eternal Light." Opening ode. From Greeland's key Mountain.

On the 15th inst., we celebrated our anniversary (the fourth). At the hour appointed the meeting was called to order by the undersigned, who, through the indisposition of the president, occupied the chair, and, after the singing of the opening ode, followed by prayer and the reading of the 126th Psalm by Mr. J. O. Burnett, who acted as chapplain, the meeting was declared open. Hymn No. 382, from the Sankey, was justly sung. The chairman here stated briefly the object of the meeting and gave an encouraging address, basing his remarks on the two last verses of the Psalm quoted above, and said if anyone had anything to say he could do so. Another hymn, 420, from the Sankey, was sung, followed by an address by Mr. H. G. Johnson, which was very helpful and was highly appreciated. The next speaker was Mrs. Essie Hylton, who sang Hymn 920, from the Sankey. The audience joined in the chorus. She also gave an interesting address. Mr. L. J. Burnett delivered the next address, urging one and all to stick to The. K. Band. G. He was followed by the slinging of Hymn 798 by Mrs. Hull and an address by the same lady. Our veteran, Mr. T. Ivy, in his usual way, gave us his ideas of the movement, and encouraged one and all to come together and help in the noble cause. This was followed by a solo by Miss Datey; also an address. Addresses were also delivered by Meyers, Graham and Phillips, which were elevating. The service closed in the usual way, each determined to do his or her share to help the executive push, the program through. G. A.

HAMPTON, Va., April 30.—The dedication of the Prissell memorial organ in Orden Hall, Hampton Institute, brought together a large company of friends of the late Dr. Hollis B. Prissell, who served as principal of Hampton Institute from General Armstrong's death in 1893 until his own death in 1917. George Foster Peabody of New York, senior member of the Hampton Institute board of trustee, made the address of presentation. Dr. James B. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, accepted the memorial gift on behalf of the trustees. Addresses were made by Alan. Andrew Jackson Montague, member of Congress from the third Virginia district and former governor of Virginia, and by Dr. Robert R. Mojon, principal of Tuskegee Institute. Excerpts from Doctor Moton's tribute to Doctor Frissell as an "Apostle of Co-operation and Good-will" follow: Armstrong and Frissell "When Doctor Frissell came to Hampton, General Armstrong was deeply absorbed in his God-inspired mission of working out the means by which a race could be lifted from servile dependence to a plane of willing and even indispensable helpfulness in the establishment of a nation and republic. In the midt of the turmoil and bitterness of a political reconstruction that accompanied the change from a domestic foundal serfdom to ordered republican government, here in a remote corner of that unhappy section, there were being laid the foundations of a social reconstruction, destined in the years that followed to extend its influence throughout the entire section, and ultimately to be accepted as the only sound basis for the reconstruction of the social order for black and white alike—a reconstruction that should give abundant opportunity to every class. TELLS DYSPEPTICS WHAT TO EAT Avoid Indigestion, Sour Acid Stomach, Heartburn, Gas on Stomach, Etc. Indigestion and practically all forms of stomach trouble, say medical authorities, are due nine times out of ten to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Chronic "acid stomach" is exceedingly dangerous, and sufferers should do either one of two things. If they can go on a limited and often disagreeable, they should that disagree with them, that irritate the stomach and lead to excess acid secretion or they can eat as they prefer to counteract the effect of the harmful acid and prevent the formation of gas, sourness or premature fermentation, by the use of a little bisurated Magnin in their meals. will be made to the successible world may be proceed and present to the bombardment. This removes the whole value of the trouble and the moral dis- grace of manly and healthfully without need of impulse or artificial digestion. DO YOU NEED LUCK? A M M M without infringing upon the rights and privileges of any group. "General Armstrong was impudent, volcanic, magnetite, a man of action; Doctor Frisell was quiet, forceful, persistent, a man of counsel; and the two worked in complete harmony. "Doctor Frisell's outstanding achievement is the expansion of Hampton's equipment as we see it today. With winsome grace and persuasive appeal, he constantly added to the circle of Hampton's friends and supporters, and from these came the means which are transmitted into buildings, grounds and apparatus. Education for Life "Moreover, in the process, he did this striking thing for the cause; he demonstrated that industrial education, as it was then called, was not simply a system of maternism limiting only at meat and money, but that it was also a complete system of life, in which love and truth and beauty are as much a part of the daily bread, for which to work and pray, as are what we shall eat, what we shall drink, and wherewhat we shall be clothed. Here he rounded out a system of education that took account of the whole man and provided for all of his life, with the result that whichever has such it has believed in it. Thousands, too, have gone forth from Hampton to do the same work in other places for other people. "The modest, humble efforts that began among the local schools and churches of Hampton's immediate vicinity expanded day by day to include the homes, the farms, and the schools of Virginia, until today what Hampton does beyond the Institute proper for the weare of the Negro race is as large and as important a part of its service what it does within. In this work Doctor Forssell not only carried the workers on the Hampton staff, but with rare fidelity, won the confidence and support, and ultimately the cooperation of both races in every section to which the work was extended. It was not so difficult a matter to win the confidence of the freedmen, though it was a real achievement to make him who had always looked to others for support and encouragement believe that he could and should do for himself vastly more than he had any right to expect others to do for him. "Mining first at the matter of ownership of the land and its improvement and development, he opened the door of the home, and there he entered to bring light and comfort and cheer; he followed the children out to school and gave them better buildings, better teachers and longer terms. The sick he made helpers of their own physicians to heal and prevent their own diseases, and then, in turn, he touched the sources of economy, life and business, which took on new energy and meaning for the whole race." Helps Two Races Doing these things for the black man, he early won the support of forty-one white men, as he made it evident that there was a way in which to communicate and advertise one race without arguing to the other; that, indeed, the progeny of one could work to the advantage of both. The good news of this program for black men became more and more important when each. The present government is in the midst of a new system. The North and South countries have been divided into two programs. The North has a program to which the people were drawn in a revolution in which the people were in cooperation rather than dominating the revolution in which the revolution was to be put management on rather than the decision of spanning a re construction, whose foundations should be economic and social rather than political and constitutional; a reconstruction that should restore the old glory of the South, embracing both black and white—this time in mutual service; mutual understanding and mutual good-will. Apostle of Co-operation "When Doctor Frisell came to Hampton, the South was in the throes of the aftermath of the Civil War. The reorganization of State governments was engaging public attention; a virtual revolution, of the social order was in progress, with the inevitable clashes which spring therefrom. "Distrust and suspicion were rife; black distrusted white and white suspected black; the Negro supposed his only friends were of the North; the North, after its triumph, had left the South to unravel the tangle of its own involved fortunes; the South, in turn, was at least chilly toward the efforts of the North to help the new-made freedman. The task of Hampton—and as it turned out, the task of Frissell—was to bring the various elements into harmonious co-operation, to atlay distrust and suspicion, to approach the pride of the South without the air of condescension; and to bring to wealth and privilege a wider social sympathy and the sense of national responsibility. "How well he accomplished this task is seen today in the many and varied movements throughout the South in which men of both races and of both sections co-operate to serve the interests of all. Beset as they were with pitfalls, both of indifference and hostility, these movements were successfully launched and they have finally developed a strength and vigor that insure their permanence. This achievement is due as much to the faith, the courage, the wisdom and the modesty of Hollis Burke Frissell as to any single factor. "Doctor Frissell's faith was not blind. It was wise. In him was fulfilled the impatience of his Master: 'Ye wise as serpens, and harmless as dows.' It was his guileless purpose of good that found the way of approach, that allayed suspicion, that bartered no man's welfare for the temporary pride of achievement; that saw with unmerging vision and felt with unfailing sympathy and kindness gathered up into the embrace of his own heart the aspiration of all and discovered the open way for their harmonious realization. 'He did not err in estimating the generosity of the South. He did not err in estimating the possibilities of the black man. He did not err in estimating the magnanimity of the North. Our 'New South' is the child of that wisdom! "Doctor Frugal! more courage, not the bedless, vamping, hold effrontery that defies resistance and hurts its dauntless force against obstacles, but the quiet, persistent, high-minded purpose which is conscious both of its rectitude and its beneficence and so remains unafraid in spite of resistance, remains unafraid in spite of misunderstanding or opposition or ill-will, or even of physical danger. His spirit knew not fear, because he trusted everybody. He dared to do what he believed." He was of that illustrious company, the men of faith, who endured as seeing Him who is invisible. "And all of this was imbued with a morality that made his presence benign. His voice was not to be heard above the murmur of the crowd. He pressed in and out and no one saw his coming or his going. He wrought mighty, but his hand was not evident. He bounced men together, but effaced himself in the lofty purpose of their assembling. Every cause to which he gave himself was magnified by his touch. Those who were with him became great in the service to whom he invited them. Like John of the Wilderness, he had begun the cause which he presented. Today we met the magnitude of the man in the magnitude of the fortress which he set in operation. Negro Heart Songs "Doubtless Prissell contended of not at once to the pet nausea appeal of the Nemo 'spiritualist'. In them he met the throb of deep emotion; he saw reflected a moving faith, a never-growing hope, and more than all else the poet absence of investment of patience or of hatred-songs that breathe the deepest tenderest sentiment, the loftiest aspirations of the human heart. These songs gave him faith in the people who gave him birth, a birth in the essential goodness of heart that lay behind them, a truth too, in the possibilities of those hearts from which they spang. "Then, too, he saw how effectively they could be used in winning others to a similar truth in the possibilities of a race that could produce such music. Later his guidance, Hampton with her 'music singers' carried forward the work which Fisk for a while had had down; namely, the work of winning understanding with the magic of song. He carried the message to many parts of the North. He introduced a new generation to the subtle thrill of Negro melody. "Along with Hampton, Tuskegee and Calhoun enlisted its aid, followed by other schools, so that there are few educational institutions today among Negroes where these songs are not treasured as a rich inheritance from the past and a valuable aid in winning support. "In the same spirit, Doctor Frissell encouraged the general use of these songs in the school and by the race in general. The late Natalie Curtis Burin had his active aid and cooperation in her most valuable labor in recording and interpreting these melodies. "Doctor Frissell admired and loved the religious folk songs of the Negro as much as any man I know. He wanted all his students to know and appreciate what a wonderful store of riches the race possessed in this treasury of song that burst spontaneously from the hearts of a cramped and struggling race. In the Negro folk songs there was reflected his own spirit—simple, guileless, trustful, hopeful, frilumphant. Little wonder that they appealed to him so profoundly!"
