The Negro World is pleased to be able to publish in this issue the full text of the historic address delivered by the Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, at the Ward Theatre, Kingston, Jamaica, B. W. I., on Sunday night, December 11, 1927, the day following his arrival in that island from the United States of America.
Mr. Chairman, Lady Davis, Officers and Members and Friends of the Kingston Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association: I am pleased to be in your midst once more. I came back to the island yesterday and was surprised at the warm reception you gave me, because so many evil and bad things have been said about me in my absence. I am here to answer every man in Jamaica. (Applause.) You shall find no coward in me. You shall find a black man ready and willing to represent the interests of the black people of this country and the black people of the world, without any compromise. (Applause.) We have had this rot long enough and Marcus Garvey is here, as-a British subject, to constitutionally see that Negroes living under the British flag receive their constitutional rights. (Applause.)
Represents the Interests of All Black Peoples
But I do not only represent the interests of British Negroes. By virtue of my office as President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of the world, I represent the interests of the black peoples of the world (Cheers), the black peoples of America, the black peoples of Africa, the black peoples of South and Central America, and the black peoples of the West Indies. (Applause.) I am charged with that responsible duty and, by God! I shall not shirk it. (Prolonged applause.) What better can I say than repeat to you the words of that great poet-philosopher of England, W. E. Henley, in his "Invictus":
"Out of the night that covers me;
Black as the pit from Pole to Pole,
I thank whatever gods there be
For my unconquerable soul.
"In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced or cried aloud;
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody but unbowed.
"Beyond the vale of doubt and fears
Loums but the terror of the shade,
And yet the passing of the years
Finds, and shall find me unafraid.
"It matters not how straight the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll;
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul."
For Peace and Order, But Woe to the Scoundrels I, in conformity with what the good Chairman said, represent peace and order. I respect constitutional

authority, but I shall not allow the scoundrel under the guise of constitutional authority, whoever he may be, to rob and infringe upon the rights of my people. (Applause.)
"The Tiger" In Action
A
HON. MARCUS GARVEY, President-General of the Universal Negra Improvement Association, caught by the camera as he delivered his remarkable farewell message to the assembled thousands on the pier at New Orleans from the deck of the United Fruit Line Steamship Saramacca.
As a British subject, it is my bounden duty, with all good citizens, to uphold the constitution and the law. But why should I make any clique within the citizenry, under the guise of patriotism, that subtle guise that so many rascals hide under, rob and oppress the people? Why should I allow them to shatter the rights of other citizens who, under the constitution, are entitled to equal rights, like anyone else? My foreparents, my grandparents, and my
mother and father, did not suffer and die to give me an education to oppress or to slight or to discourage my people. Whatsoever education I have acquired out of their sacrifice of over 300 years, I shall use it for the salvation of the four hundred million Negroes of the world, and the day when I forsake my people may God Almighty say, "There shall be no more light for you."
"Here Neither to Beg, Nor to Apologize"
I am a black man. I have returned under certain circumstances, to my native land, not to lead white people, not to lead colored people who do not call themselves Negroes, but to lead black people and those who call themselves Negroes towards their destiny. But I want you to understand that in coming to Jamaica, I have not come to Jamaica only to represent the interests of Jamaicans, because, as I said, by virtue of my position as President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, I have an international duty to perform. (Cheers.) I have not come to Jamaica to beg anybody for anything, not for a shilling or a pound, nor to apologize to anybody for anything I may say at any time. I know what to say within the Empire and how to say it within the Empire. (Applause.) And in this far-flung outpost of the Empire, where great advantage is being taken of the constitution of the Mother Country, England, I want those who think they can fool Marcus Gadzy and fool the Negro peoples of this country, so long as they behave and conduct themselves as I hope they will—they who think they can do it—I want them to know they are making a great mistake.
Will Speak Out Fearlessly
When I look upon the people of this country, their naked condition—their dirty and diseased condition—do you think that I, so long as there is a God, could keep my mouth closed and my soul steady as a black man, and let the Chinaman, and the Syrian, sap the wealth of this country, while our people die in poverty?
I have friends enough in England, in its Parliament and in its public life, to see that right and justice is done to the people of the Empire, and particularly the rights of the people of the country where I am. I know constitutional rights and I shall observe them to the letter; and no villain or rascal shall get away with it, blindfolding anybody, saying that anybody is going to be disloyal. There is no need to be disloyal. All the people of Jamaica want to do is to seriously understand and know themselves, and as British subjects to know that they have rights that the British Government is bound to respect when you intelligently represent those rights to them. I shall not have any scruples in presenting those rights.

- that keeps files of his. favorite newspaper he will observe upon
yr referring back to it that our first issue for this year was dated
January 1. This is, of course, purely accidental, but we like to
_ think that it has some sort of significance. It is symbolic of the
fact that THE NEGRO WORLD is on the job from first ‘to last’

As “a newspaper devoted solely fo the interests of the Negro’

a spiritlal way we hope to continue the alindst superhunian. task.
. of arousing the Negro to“a sense of his-true racial value. We
- liope to continue educating the. masses of our people toward
thinking in terms of nationhood and self-government. We hope
to so keep before him his true position in modern world affairs
as to inspire him with the determination to change that position

In a ‘material way, we hope sodn to put the paper back in size

THE NEW YEAR
THE Old Year is dead! Long live the New Year! The Negro World extends to Honorable Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to all who are in authority in the government, and to the far-flung membership of the Association, a Happy New Year, with the hope that it will bring them a fuller measure of their desires, their hopes, their aspirations after higher and better things in living, than they realized in the dead year. The fact that the dead year gave us in its final hours the liberty from imprisonment of President-General Marcus Garvey will always make the year 1927 memorable to the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. With the leader free and in splendid health and high spirits, with the faith and sustaining hope that are the safeguards of successful achievement, the members of the Association can face the New Year with courage and spirit to do and to dare for the success for which we hope and labor.
The New Year will yield us largely what we require of it. It is for us to set the high calling which is in it and to labor towards it, as eternal hustle is the firstmer of success. If we have faith in ourselves, and in those with whom we are associated, animated as one person with the one hope, backed by the one effort, all things are possible. It takes a very small grain of faith to enable us to prove mountains, if that be necessary, in working for the success of the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It is faith, it is work, that counts, in the plans of any person, of any movement. That is well understood among us. We shall get out of the New Year what we shall put into it. If we put much into it we shall get much out of it; if we put little, into it we shall get little out of it. And, always, eternal, hustle is the price of success. Let us keep that in mind.
In his latest message to the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, published in the last issue of The Negro World, President-General Garvey said, among other things, "We are looking forward to the greatest period of the organization's history, and there is great cause for rejoicing. I am really feeling fit and fine, and by the grace of God we shall win. Support the University in Virginia and keep the colors of The Negro World flying. We shall now in a short while have the old Negro World back in its real place. You shall have my speeches as usual. Keep cool and march forward." And may it so turn out as much prophecy in the course of the New Year, upon which we now enter.
RECOGNIZING MR. GARVEYS GREAT WORK FOR THE RACE
IN THIS LATEST message to the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, from his old home in the West Indies, President-General Markus Garvey says: "Leave my enemies alone. I will handle them when the time comes". As a matter of fact, every great man brings into being a lot of enemies as well as friends, many of the enemies being so small and insignificant as to seek to enlarge themselves by disparaging the greatness of the man they seek to degrade and belittle. And it is easy to magnify the importance of these small, malicious, often malignant, enemies, by giving them more consideration than they are entitled to. But it is one of the weaknesses of most great men that they are very sensitive to criticism and do not always sufficiently consider the relative smallness in character and influence of the critics. Those who mostly seek to tear down what others have built up are usually those who have accomplished least for themselves or for mankind.
Let us see what some of the leading Negro newspapers of the country have said of Mr Garvey and his work, in their recent issues, basing their conclusions on what he has accomplished rather than on what he may accomplish. The Washington Tribune says:
Marcus Garvey summed up for the masses of the colored people their several grievances and traced them directly and pointedly to the rapacity and greed of the whites. He offered the group an outlet through economic co-operation. By his proposed development of Africa and by his regalia and titles—as well as by his employment of many intellectuals who could not make a decent living in an industrial age with a prejudice which disbarred colored men and women from the higher wage groups he combined more influences in producing a following than had any former leader. We venture the prediction that we have not but half the fast of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, not of its founder. We also hope not the New York Amsterdam News says.
The stranger that carried Marcus Garvey away from New Orleans stopped at Cristobal, Panama. The entire Negro population of Panama, numbering 70,000, waited for him with cash and flowers, but the Carol Zone government would not allow them to see him. Only a small committee of six was permitted to him.
Garvey is being treated like the man in the iron mask the my tenacious prisoner of the Bastille. Whatever his faults or virtues, governments certainly seem to be afraid of him. The officers of the jap that carried Napoleon to St Helena could not have been more careful with him than the United States authorities are with Garvey. His one black man has succeeded in alarming the most powerful governments of the world.
In a very critical review of Mr Garvey as a man and what he drove to achieve as the leader of a great movement with many of those statements or speculations rather than of fact we do not agree he Burningham Reporter says in conclusion.
As we call for his future residence in Jamaica, where the det
necessities of realizing his dream must be increased by the isolation imposed by conditions, he promises that the Universal Negro Improvement Association will redeem its pledge to his followers. There will be much speculation as to how it may be done. The fact that the association is intended to have international scope may suggest that headquarters will be set up in Jamaica and operations will continue. Whether this is done or not, Garvey believes it, and the utter intensity of his spirit, the inspirative self-confidence displayed in his ability inspires this belief in many of his followers. This of itself is a good part of our hard job.
Whatever disagreement may be expressed to Mr. Garvey's program it must be admitted that he had the strongest organized force in America among Negroes, and did more to have the mass bite of the race see and recognize its possibilities than any man or agency since the emancipation. In many respects, Mr. Garvey was a great man and the work he started shall not die with his passing out of the country.
In face of the fact that Mr. Garvey insists that he is very much alive and has just begun to fight, with the unconquerable spirit of John Paul Jones, the father of the American navy, it is very interesting to note that the Birmingham Reporter, in its closing paragraph, speaks of Mr. Garvey and his program as being in the past tense, instead of being in the present tense as well, while insisting, however, that "In many respects Mr. Garvey was a great man, and the work he started shall not the with his passing out of the country." The quotations we make from three of the outstanding Negro journals of the country will suffice to show that Mr. Garvey and his great work is appreciated by the thoughtful members of the Negro press, and we could quote others, as showing a very gratifying reaction from the former of old attitudes.
THE NEW AND THE OLD NEGRO
HON F. B KNOX, speaking at Liberty Hall, in New York, Sunday night, December 18, told the big audience all about "The New Negro" and what he stands for, and The Negro World of December 24 carried the address in full, so that the membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association could have the opportunity to get Mr Knox's viewpoint. Here follows Mr Knox's definition "But the New Negro is the Negro that is glad he is black, and if he is 60 or 100 years old, if he knows that and feels that, he is a New Negro. And you didn't have that until Garvey came on the scene."
It is a great thing to know what you are and to be proud of it and to see to make the most and not the least of it. It is just as much honor to be a black man as it is to be a white man, and the black man is no more responsible for his color than the white man is for his color. The black man is in small business when he dislikes a white man because he is white, and the white man is in bad business when he dislikes a black man because he is black. The Creator had his own purposes in making the one white and the other black, and neither of them can change his color, without running his complexion, and other things.
The Negro will never amount to anything until he thinks as much of his race and color as the white man thinks of his, and stands as ready to endure any sacrifice in defending his race and color from wrong and outrage, as the white man does.
GAGGING NEGRO EDITORS IN THE SOUTH
THE Kentucky State Court of Appeals at Frankfort has upheld the conviction of William Warley, editor of the Lousville News, and L. Willis Cole, editor of the Louisville Leader, for libelling Judge Ruby Laffoon, who presided at the trial of Nathan Bard and Bunyan Fleming, charged with assauling a white girl. The editors were fined $250 for referring to the trial as "legal lynching coming." It was sought to indict the editors under an old statute, which would have imprisoned them for twenty-one years, but it was found that the statute had been repealed. The prisoners maintained that they were innocent of the alleged assault, but another Negro turned against them and insisted that they were guilty. The alleged criminals were hanged recently, at Madisonville, after the Federal Supreme Court had reviewed their case on appeal.
It is noticeable that there is a growing tendency in the South to gag Negro editors and to harass, if not to disband Negro organizations which do not meet the requirements of white persons in the statement and defense of Negro people who are wronged by legal tyranny, and there is plenty of that sort, or outraged by the mob, of which there is entirely too much for the good of the States concerned. But no restriction whatever is placed upon the unbridled venom and abuse of Southern white editors or the uncurbed license of the white mob against the Negro. They are left free to do as they deem it good to do and say. Neither law nor public opinion restrains them, however abusive and malignant they may show themselves in dealing with the Negro. A condition of that kind is very raw, and cannot reasonably last always. There must come an end of it.
EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS
Race difference stakes a brush dam
--it holds back the majority will, it
slows down the stream of progress for
a moment, but sooner or later it piles
up such a pressure that style right-
cousness is carried far with a rush.

The success of this 'Third Estate' in the practical multilization of those laws which changed the status of the Negro, has encouraged almost with breaths of others of the fundamental laws, constituted authority has receded from those broad principles of justice for all men and rightful administration of laws which inspired the founders of the great republic -Atlantic Independent

"America's Tenth Man," Subject of Essay In Student Contest
The Commission on Interracial Cooperation with immigrant patrons at 409 Palmer Building, Atlanta, Ga., announces the offer to American high school students of three prizes of fifty, thirty and twenty dollars, respectively, for the three best papers on 'American's Tenth Man.' submitted on or before April 1, 1928. The purpose of the offer is to interest students in a brief study of the Negro's part in American history, which, according to the Commission has been much more interesting and creditable than is generally supposed.
The Commission has prepared suggestions and data for the use of those desiring to submit papers, and invites inquiries from principals, teachers and students who may be interested.
Washington Advised Against Foreign Entanglements
(From the New York "World")
The appointment of Henry L. Simpson as Governor General of the Philippines reminds us again that the United States, for a nation whose statesmen ask "What have we to do with abroad?" makes rather a specialty of providing "pro-consule" to different nations, not all of them backward in civilization. Nor is this anything new with us. We owe to the Spanish War not only the burden of administering the Philippines with 12,000,000 people, but there is Porto Rico, with 1,400,000, where the Constitution runs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and Cube, with 3,500,000, where the Platt amendment makes us absolute masters of the state in its relations with all foreign nations. So here is a population of 17,000,000 considerably more people than there are in all Mexico, which look to us for the highest attribute of sovereignty, control of their foreign policy, and most of them for some share in legislation and administration
Panama, a republic stamped "Made in America," and containing 500,000 people, we control to a considerable degree by our control of the Panama Canal strip and in the general attitude of sponsor and protector. In Nicaragua, with 700,000 inhabitants, we are directing under arms the working out of a new election problem. In Haiti population 2,000,000, we have fiscal control and an American High Commissioner and an American financial adviser, in Dominica 500,000 people, conditions are much the same. So here is another group of more than 4,000,000 people that look to the United States for political and financial guidance when they are not protesting against it by taking, pot shots at American martens. With the group of Spanish War accession added 21,000,000 people are comprised, equalling the total population of the United States about 1848. In localities not on our own side of the world our pro-consular activities are much more subtle and seldom pursued "under the protection of armed men of our own providing. But in reshaping Europe after the war we have borne a considerable part, as is evident in the work done by Americans in the Dawed plan, in Hungary and in the settlement of the Memel dispute.
Upon the whole, for a Nation that has set its fate resolutely toward isolation and has only lately even recognized the existence of the League of Nations, we seem to be doing a considerable share of the international work, including not a little downright pre-consulting.

Dress for the Weather
It seems obvious to expect adults to do this without bang sold. We ought to care enough about our health and well-being to protect ourselves from sickness by wearing clothes suitable for the weather. But, at angely, there are many, many persons who do not do this.
In this age of modern heating systems, our homes and offices secure kept us warm as they are in summer weather. Hence, it is not necessary to wear thick underclothing as our grandparents did. But we need to put on extra clothing for warmth in cold weather when we go out of doors. This is the time to wear our heavy coats and furs.
On mild days it is a good idea do wear less heavy clothing than in the coldest weather, but do not change from a fur coat to a spring coat until the weather is settled. Use common sense in selecting the garments to wear. It is a bad thing to change abruptly from very heavy clothing to very thin clothing.
Another important point to keep in mind is to dress for rainy weather. Wear ruthers or galshes when it rains or snows. It is false pride to go without them. If you do get your foot wet, change your shoes and stockings as soon as you get indoors. This may prevent colds or give throats. It is a bad thing to all around in damp clothing.
Watch your general resistance at all times and so that you dress properly for the weather and you will be doing much to avoid colds and keep yourself in good condition physically.

Negro League Formed to Fight For Political and Civic Rights BY W. S. STEPHENSON
Hubert Harrison: An Appreciation BY HODGE KIRNON
To the Editor of The Negro World
" Sir - At this joyous season of the year, when the civilized Christian is preparing to celebrate in befitting manner the natal day of Hirn, 'Hotest among the mighty, and the Mightiest among the holy,' permit me to extend to The Negro World and its founder the greetings of this joyous season and to express the hope and wish that its future, now big with promise, pregnant with mighty possibilities, will find their full realization in years ahead of it.
The Negro World has been a valiant champion of "justice and peace and good-will among men" by pointing out to Africans what it believes to be the true path which will lead this race to independence and the peace which endures. In revolutionizing the thought of the Africans of the world it has also awakened the racial consciousness of 400,000,000 people of Africa and African descent the wide world over to the importance and necessity of closer union in order to make effective use and exercise of its strength and power for the conservation and security of its rights from the aggressions and injustices of stronger races—stronger in the sense that they are organized and united against races alien to themselves, and who hitherto have "had no language but a sigh" with which to give expression to their feelings and their fears.
The Negro World is now the accredited mouthpiece and spokesman of these seeming millions throughout the world, and they now feel, as did St Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles, when on one occasion he said "Stand up for I also am a man" Africans everywhere, inspired by the bold direct, truthful statements of The Negro World respecting their rights, their future and the certainty of their final triumph in the great struggle, through which the race is now passing, are now beginning to stand up manfashion, and to see, with clearer vision than ever before, the end from the beginning. The Negro World is as directly responsible for this metamor-
have never forsaken me. They The Negro League for Equal Political and Civic Rights, an organization determined to obtain for Negroes a pro-ratio share of all government positions in our midst. This league with a growing membership promises to play a great part in all future elections. At the last meeting of the league, the president, Mr Leon Desportes, addressed a fairly large audience at 132 West 131st street, where mass meetings are held every Wednesday. He said that Negroes were entitled to some economic benefits from the business done by White storekeepers in Negro communities. He also sided that the league had sent out letters to the United Cigar Stores Co. and other chain stores doing business in Harlem, asking them to employ Negroes as salesmen and subordinates in their cart-
I think that, it was Thomas Carlyle who defined genius as the infinite capacity for taking pains but another able thinker conceived if as the ability to do without effort what others have to labor to perform.
Huber Harrison's great ability took the middle-ground between these two opposing views. He took pains with whatever he planned to do in his educational efforts to an extraordinary degree, yet he would oftimes say that he memorized, assimilated and transposed his wide range of reading upon technical subjects into their simplest and most understandable forms with but little or no effort
Throughout his entire intellectual career, Hubert Harrison seemed to have been an outstanding personality. That thinking is the highest form of life expression was for him an actuality. His immense fund of knowledge upon the various branches of learning attested to the breadth of his intellectual sympathies and understanding Unlike many of his contemporaries of lesser fame, he understood that there is an inextricable relationship between the arts and philosophy, the one being the medium for the expression of life, or through which life mirrors itself, the other, the instrument for its exploration.
His discursive and discerning mind made it possible for him to appreciate and evaluate the drama, music and other forms of human expression, not only as the strivings of the mind in search of truth, but also as manifestations of the social characteristics of the age. Hence, he was always able to catch glimpses of truth and of new ideas and to interpret them in both their ideological and practical aspects. Hubert Harrison spent a great deal of his time in reading a great number and variety of books, but he was able to preserve his intellectual individuality and hold his critical ability intact. He was always the master never the pedant. He always found time to do his own thinking. He carried many social and philosophical problems in his mind for years during which he would examine and probe them for hours, then he would abelieve them for a short period, take them on again and again to be subjected to his right tests of critical inquiry until he felt assured that he had reached some satisfactory solution. If none was forthcoming, he at least was made more
phones in Negro thought and action. Its hold is tantamount aggressive and less utterances have heartened and strengthened and encouraged the African individually and, in the mass to take on fresh courage and to take up the black man's burden and to demonstrate to the whole world that black men can carry it despite the fact that they did not create it.
One of the finest things in the human economy is self-rolance. The Negro World is teaching Africans, everywhere, self-rolance and what it connotes to races and individuals. It has sown the seed, and the seed has taken root and is beginning to sprout. Soon there will spring up all over this country and the world strong and powerful branches of the great and mighty oak, the seed of which was planted by Morus harvey seven years ago. Its guarded roots taking such a firm and powerful hold into the soil that nothing human can spake or remove them.
What then, could be more fitting and appropriate at this time, when people a hearts are filled with "joy that cometh in the morning, when the angels of God are hovering over the troubled earth, still in travail, and the shadow of war singing 'Peace on earth to men of good will,' than to pay tribute to the good work of Mon. Marcus Garvey and The Negro World, the child of his brain, which has drawn together in a mighty army, millions of Africans to whom the Christmas holds out brighter hope for the future of our race than any of its predecessors."
The Negro World has opened the eyes of the African race and opened the path upon which it is to tread, in its march to real freedom, peace, independence and nationhood. Greetings, therefore, to the Hon Marcus Garvey, Mrs. Garvey, and The Negro World. May their influence for good to the African race increase a thousandfold in years to come, and may their acts and utterances find justification in their work for the upbuilding of the race and the ultimate redemption of Africa. The gray-haired mother of civilization
our stores located in this community, but up to the present time no replies have been received.
The president pointed out that since all the stores in Harlem catering at least 95 percent Negro customers it was only right to employ Negroes in the above mentioned capacity and should they fail to comply, Negroes have the power to force them to do so to cause the reluctant ones to remove from our community by giving all their patronage only to the stores who comply with their request.
An organization of this type is solely needed in Harlem, and deserves the support of all Negroes. Everyone can do his or her part. Bring your friends with you on Wednesday at 9:30 p. m. to the mass meeting at 132 West 131st street and hear what is being done for the welfare of Negroes in Harlem.
aware of the difficulties and subtleties which surrounded such problems. - No trace of the Brahmin spirit was to be found in Harrisons. He lived with and amongst his people, not on the fringes of their social life. He taught the masses, and he drew much of his inspiration from them. He assisted in molding and directing the new spirit of the Negro and its accompanying ideals into their most effective channels. He consistently preached the idealization of black as an aesthetic ideal, and forever asked Negro men to emulate their women. Harrison was a pioneer radical and racialist. He was the first Negro whose radicalism was comprehensive enough to include racialism, politics, theological criticism, sociology and education in a thorough-going and scientific manner.
Harrison lectured before more well-informed and critical audiences than any other Negro in America upon such subjects as Socialism, anthropology, Negro History and contemporary historical events, especially in their relations to the darker races. His fine scorn and irony were anathema to those who carelessly or ignorantly challenged him without good reason. He was the possessor of an exceptionally remarkable and fertile mind, and his great and accurate knowledge upon almost every vital subject was an astonishment to even his most cultivated hearers. None will deny except those who envied him, that Hubert Harrison has made an indelible stamp upon the intellectual life of the Negro. Every one of us owes him a lasting debt of gratitude. Honestly should 'compel us to acknowledge our great indebtedness.'

It is much easier to make friends than to hold them. The small things—unkind words, cutting jeets petittiness, selfishness—these things sever the words of friendship and set the umbred further apart than before their first meeting.

THE LYNCHING HORROR
Nationwide Appeal for Special Prayers to Halt Sadistic Southern Sport-Over 4,000 Negro Victims Including 91 Women, in 45 Years
Church people have been summoned by the Federal Council of Churches to penitence and prayer on February 12 to free the nation from lynching and mob violence.
The summons which fixed that date for the observance of Race Relations Sunday, was issued through the council's Commission of Race Relations, of which Dr. George E. Haynes is secretary. Need for the call has been stressed by the Commission on Interracial Co-operation.
"Lynching is a crime which leaves its stain upon us all." the cull declares. "Any community that flouts the dignity of the laws and courts of justice opens the way to the violent rule of the mob throughout the nation. It assaults the very ideals upon which our civilization is dependent. A nation's penitence and prayer must be summoned both to check the lynching evil and to build up deeper respect for the processes of justice and new sympathetic understanding among all the people. In the attitude of penitence and the atmosphere of prayer the best things come forth.
"The sobering fact that more than 4,000 people have been victims of lynching in our country has filled all people of good will with a sense of horror and shame. That mob violence should have continued through the

years, so that in 1926 there were as many as thirty persons lynched in the United States, is so fragmently opposed to the progress of right and brotherhood that "we who are committed to the way of Christ are asked to observe a day of penance and prayer that our American nation may be purged of this blot upon its pages." The call urges national confession before God for "our failure to act on the belief that, we are all 'of one blood' and have one Father," for "the callous indifference and silence we have shown in the face of monstrous wrong, thereby ourselves becoming guilty in the sight of God and man," and for "our false sense of racial superiority and all the heartless attitudes that accompany it."
The statement suggests as grounds for thanksgiving "the new sense of the unity of the whole human family to which our generation is coming" and "a deepening sensitiveness of conscience with reference to all discrimination against any of our fellows because of race prejudice."
Americans should be thankful, it is suggested, "for all public officers who courageously defend the majesty of law and orderly government, who faithfully protect those for whom they are responsible and who resolutely do their duty even in the face of danger and death."
"In the forty-five years ending with 1926, American mobs lynched 4,551 persons, about three-fourths of whom were Negroes, about ninety-one of whom were women," said Dr Haynes. "In 1927 to December 1 there were fifteen victims, two of them burned at the stake. "Every lynching that occurs is an indictment of Christianity before, the world. American lynchings, according to the testimony of missionaries abroad, are doing much to hinder and discredit mission work around the world."

I understand that somebody says he is going to stage a frame-up, to say I am crazy and send me to the asylum. Well, I would like to see him do it.

Sometimes we have had bitter scraps, but he is a large hearted fellow. Poor fellow, he has retired, but I would like to see him get back, and I hope to help him get back, because I will be on the stump in England for a long while, probably twelve months.
Now, I am going to close, because I do not want to keep you in this hot building (cries of dissent fpm the audience), but I want to reassure you that you have a righteous cause. For God's sake don't spoil it, don't spoil it by getting a big head. Coming in here I saw some of the Legion men trying to keep order, but they do it in such a stiff way, you would think they were the lords of creation. We do not want that stuff. We want you to deal with others as men, with respect. Speak courteously, be kind and considerate to each other. Bear your brother's burdens and he will bear yours. We want the spirit of love to exist everywhere among you. Set a good example and let them say, "Indeed we have to respect the Negro people." It is true that they keep you dirty. (Laughter.)

times I will be in the United States (Applause). You know, I had a fine time in the United States so many friends, all true-hearted friends, so many people who look like you and so many who do not look like you. There are white men in the United States who would do anything for me but there is not a white man in the world who can say I ever asked him for one penny except when I just started the U N I A. In Jamaica and had to bear all the burden and when I went to America struggling with a few friends to make the organization But after I made the organization I never asked a white man for a dime.
All that has been accomplished organizing 1,100 branches in the United States, 400 in Africa and 300 branches in other parts of the world—all of it has been done with black folks' money. I have not come here to take anybody's money. I have not come here to beg anybody anything, or to take up collections from anybody. I have sufficient intelligence and ability to get enough for myself like any other man in the world, but I have decided to give my ability and youth and energy for the healing of my fellowmen. They have never forgaken me. They hounded me and threw me in prison and called me all sorts of names, but what they did was to make the people's confidence in me grow stronger. They thought in America that if they put me in jail, the organization would be destroyed, but instead it became three times as strong. So I became such a puzzle to them that they sent me out. But the great heart of America was surprised and shocked when they found out, because they never knew I was gone until I was gone. But I did not want, to make any trouble. They made the colored people spend 75,000 dollars on me, and wanted a million dollars, because I was worth a million dollars, to the colored people, they said. But I said I would stay and let my people keep the million dollars, and when they found they could not get the million dollars they let me out.
Politics in America
In America, things are done differently than, in the Empire where we have a King and a constitutional government returned by the people. According to the constitution in America we have election every four years for the Presidency. There are two parties over there—the Republican party and the Democratic party. When the Republican party kicks in they spite the Democratic party and when the Democratic party get in, they spite the Republican party. My enemies are in now, so they cut my coat tall short. In the next election I hope my friends will be in so that they will say to Carvoy: Come home (applause). So I am not worried. I have taken it good naturedly. It is only politics—a group of politicians who think I stood in the way of votes. I tell you, I "raised Cain" over there and they wanted to tell me out. They thought they were justified in doing what they did because I was a foreigner.
Different Definitions of "Colored"
I do not care what country I am in,
I am concerned about the black people.
Black people look the same to me anywhere I find them. The good black people of America love me just the same as you love me, and I do not love you any better than I love the black people in America. I love all the folks who look like me. All the folks who look like me are going my way and I am traveling with them. I am traveling my way and I am not blocking anybody. Lot them go where they want to go. I am not leading colored people because I am not colored, I am black. We have in America the race mixed, and when they say "colored" you can be as black as midnight or as white as a lily, if you have Negro blood in your veins, you are colored, and the people adjust themselves to it—so long as you are not white, you are colored. But it is not so in Jamaica. In Jamaica, we have white, colored and black (laughter).
"Stopping From Below"
Thon, you know, they have a peculiar arrangement of stopping from below. I do not like that stopping from below. I like if any skipping is to be done to step on a common, platform, then if anybody later be crushed we do
Parent Body To Function As Before
Special Message to Officers and Members of Divisions and Chapters of the Universal Negro Improvement Association
The Hon. Marcus Garvey has designated me to administer the affairs of the Parent Body in the United States until the next convention, and has ordered me to instruct the various branches of his desire that they return once more to their normal functions as units of the organization.
It is his express wish that the divisions, chapters, etc., resume at once their previous normal relations with the Parent Body.
Members are especially requested to see that their secretaries make REGULAR MONTHLY REPORTS to the Parent Body.
Special attention is also directed to the YEARLY ASSESSMENT TAX of One Dollar, due on January 1 of each year. NOW PAYABLE.
THESE INSTRUCTIONS TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY which means that reports should at once be made for the month of December, 1927. Information as to BACK REPORTS will be sent direct to the officers of divisions within a few days.
not know who is crushed I do not like white, colored and black. Somebody has been stepping upon me too long I am asking him now to take his heels off and if he does not take his heels off I am going to brush him aside So don't let's have any enemies, beats be friends and don't step upon each other Let us fairly and squigely greet each other and make the best of life and the best of our God (tremendous applause)
How You May Help Keep Harlem Children Strong and Healthy
"I like to come to the Nutrition Class, because I learn how to grow to be strong and healthy, and then I can play football when I grow up."
"I like to come to the class because it teaches me to be healthy, and if I'm healthy, I'll be happy."
"Well, I like to come because I learn how to take care of myself and not be sick, and, if I'm not sick, I'm happy."
One after another the boys and girls of the Nutrition Class and Health Club, Harlem Committee of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association, were telling the worker why they liked the class. All were so eager to talk that they could hardly wait their turns, and the enthusiasm expressed in their faces was evidence that they mount what they said.
This health class for children is held in the committee's offices on the third floor of the Urban League building, 202 West 136th street, every Thursday afternoon. Hero children who are under weight are taught what to eat to gain and what kinds of food are best for growing children. Health stories are read to the youngsters and health games are arranged for them.
The committee also conducts a large variety of other activities in carrying on its program of fighting disease and building up health in Harlem. It has an information service which will serve anyone in the community. It assists people to find sanatoria where they may receive treatment for tuberculosis or heart disease. It conducts a dental clinic every morning. It arranges health lectures and movies for various groups in the community which ask for them. Every year it arranges an institute for physicians where a course of lectures is given to those attending. It distributes pamphlets on health matters and conducts a for reaching campaign of health education
The money to carry on this program of health work is supplied by the New York Tufts-Unicorns and Health Association, which takes most of its funds by the annual sale of Christian Saints. The sale is now being held throughout the city. Buy your Saints now and help keep Harlem children healthy.

PROF. M. A. FIGUERCA, Editor
DE LOS GRANDES ACONTECIMIENTOS
Compañeros de la Raza Negra:
Tengo a bien el informarle que me siento perfectamente bien y feliz. Jomas me he sentido mejor en mi vida, y estoy ahora listo para afrontar con toda mis energias la parte mas importante del programa racial, bajo la egida de lo Universal Improvement Association. Tengo en juego una broma algo pesada para mis enemigos todos. Creyeron que yo estaria muerto a estas horas; pero estoy muy vivo, con mayores energias para trabajar en pro de la redención africana.
Me hace feliz la actitud leal que hacia la causa de todos demuestran los negros de America, y la actitud por demas maravillosa de los hermanos de roza de Sud y Centro America y las Indias Occidentes. Tenemos un gran termino de servicio ante de nosotros para activar esta campaña, y cada uno de nosotros debe cumplir con su deber, sea cual sea su sexo o estación que la sociedad la haya deparado en la vida.
Estoy muy ocupado poniendo en vias de realización todas mis cosas antes de que pueda llevar a cabo mi viaje de propaganda por Centro y Sud America y los Antillas y depues trasladarme a Europa para atender al Consejo de JUSTICIA INTERNACIONAL que se llevará a cabo en el viejo continente. Yo tendré preparado para ustedes un bosquejo del programa que he de desarrollar ante la Convención Internacional, que vosotros os sentireis orgullosos de ser negros y especialmente en esta hora cuando el mundo esta particularnen el empeñado en un readjuste impuesto por las circunstancias. Mientra yo hago ese bosquejo y pongo en práctica lo mas grande y efectivo del programa a seguir, yo necesito que todos y cada uno de ustedes, presten toda su cooperación y ayuda a la dirección del Hon. E. B. Knox, quien está encargado con la muy responsable capacidad de representar al Presidente General de la U. N. I. A. en America hasta la próximo Convención. También tendré presente en mi próximo mensaje, el hacer público los nombres de los leaders cantonales que han de prestar ayuda al Hon. Mr. Knox en los Estados Unidos de America.
Buscamos por conseguir todo lomejor que podamos para la reorganización del periodo mas grade en la historia de nuestro movimiento; y a la verdad hay causa para ello; me siento en muy buen estado de salud gracias a Dios y no tengo la menor duda que triunfaremos en la demanda. Dentro del lapso de tiempo que media entre ahora y la Convención, todos se habrá arreglado satisfactoriamente.
Obedeced solamente las ordenes que vengan por conducto del Sr. Knox quien ha sido designado por mí como Presidente General. Cuando llegue la Convención me alegraría saber que todos han cumplido con su deber acatando las ordenes de Mr. nnox. Tengo fé que ninguna otra influencia hará huella entre vosotros; calmaos y adelante.
Prestad vuestro apoyo a la Universidad de Virginia y mantened siemprenarbolados los colores del Negro World. Este semanario volverá a su antiguo perstigio y vosotros tendreis mis arengas como siempre.
Tenemos aqui un hermoso Liberty Hall y dentro de pocos meses tendremos otro de igual capacidad que el que teniamos en New York el cual nos fue robado por impedirse el retornar para recobrarlo. Dio está con la U.N.I.A. y nohay poder en la tierra que pueda destruirla. Rezad por vuestro enemigos esten donde estuvieren; que el Todopoderoso los encamine y El lo hará según su mejor manera

Creedme, me siento bien y preparado para trabajar por la redención africana, y Cristo está conmigo guiandome para obtener cada días mas luz en esta cruenta lucha redentiva. Orad por que mi fe no decaiga. Vuestras preces me ayudaron en Attlanta y ellas me ayudarán en todas mis tribulaciones. Estad seguro, que doquiera que vaya, trabajé por nuestra causa.
Paz en la tierrá y buena voluntad para los los hombres
La gente cristiana de todas las latitudes están dando cabida, en esta semana a los pensamientos de la personalidad mas portentosa en los anales de la historia de humanidad, juzgado desde el punto de vista del nuevo testamento que el Divino hijo predicara desde su aparición en la Tierra, predicas estas que le han conseguido las palabras de Lucas it. 8-14, quien habla del Cristo dijo que el advenimiento del Maestro seria para una salvación universal, y reptiéndo las frases del mismo Redentór, "Yo-soy la resurrección y la vida" se contendso su evangélica de la menera siguiente:
"Y habia en el mismo campo pstores unidos por una misma fe, cuidando de sus rebanos toda la noche. Y joh! el angel del senor descençió sobre ellos, y la gloria del altisimo brillo a su derredor con numbs, explendentes y ellos se sobrecugieron de miedo. Y el angel les dijo: "No tengais miedo; guardaos; les trajgo buenas nuevas de grau regocijo, la cual se extendera a todas las humanidades. Porque de entre de vosotros ha nacido en este dia, en la ciudad de David, el Salvador, que es Cristo nuestro. Senor. Y esto sera una señal para ustedes; vosotros encontraremos al mismo cubierto en erop aplretadas tirado en un pajar." Y de pronto se unieron en,corro con el angel una multitud de gente inspiradas por lo alto, alabando a Dios y diciendo." Gloria a Dios en las alturas, y paz entre los hombres en la Tierra."
No hay mungua obra de fecion en lengua jangan tilleno de misterio, de millegro, m de acontecimiento y tragedia, como lo registra la crucifixión de Jesus. Los doce hombres que el enviara a peducar su evangelio y buena voluntad, así como sus suscesores, han conquistado el mundo, lo gobiernan y amueble amendoo ellos dicen y hacen dosas en el nombre del Senor que esté repudiara en su vida terrena, que estis mismos predadores son responsables por tal falsedad.
El Estado Mayor del "Negro World" hacecido participé del espíritu de las Navidades, envía un mensaje de aliento y de paz al Hon Marcos Garvey. President General de la U. N. L. A., y también incluye en la felicitación a la señora Garvey, su esposa, y al Hon E. R. Knox, su representante personal, así confo también hace extensión a sus queores deseos a la magnifica agrupación de miembros que estan diseminado, por todo el mundo. Así pues regocijemepus todos con el glorioso mensaje de lo alto, y ocremos porque haya paz entre los hombres en la tierra y hagamos quien uso de la resurrección y la vida

La asociación se agigantara alrededor del Sr. Knox
Si todos los miembros de la U. N. I. A en los Estados Unidos, reunidos en sus diferentes sitios de reuniones, demostran el mismo entusiasmo como los miembros de la Local de New York, reunidos en el Liberty Hall el domingo ultimo, donde el regocijo más ardente se mostro con la noticia del nombramiento del Hon. E. B. Knox, como representante personal del Presidente General Marco Garvey, así como también el anuncio de los distintas personas en diferentes partes del país que todavía, han de ser nombrados para cooperar con el Sr. Knox y le sirvan de consejeros en la conduction de la labor en los Estados Unidos, hasta que la proxima Convención Internacional se celebre el proximo año; si todos ellos huben observado el entusiasmo con que la Local de New York viera tal designación, estuvieran animados con el mismo supremo proposo que el Presidente General-Garvey necesita de sus leales para trabajar hombre con nombrado en el ensanchamiento de la asociación. Podemos aventurarnos de decir, que el mismo entusiasmo se sentió en todas las demas locales de todo tal anuncio se hiciera
El discurso pronunciado por Mr. Knox en la Local de New York, publicado en su totalidad en el "Negro World" en su edición de diciembre, 17, trata principalmente con un detallado comentario de su entrevista con el Sr. Garvey, nuestro Presidente General poco antes de zarpar el buque de la bahia de New Orleans, que le conducía a las West Indies. Dada la simpatia que el orador tena por el tema en discussion, su oratoria estuvo repleta de gran elocuencia y sobredad en el deciry en el pensar. El vasto gente se agrupo alrededor del orador para no perder una sola de sus paladras, ya que estas venían de parte de su amado leader, aquentientan anan y quien tan indecentemente, fué sado a toda pedir del pal sur permitirse ni siquiera venir. New York a ver a sus seguidores, irreglar sus asuntos privados en New York. Tal fue lo vivo del mensaje del Sr. Knox, que tal parecía que el espiritu del leader estuviera presente entre nosotros aquella noche en el Liberty Hall. A diecif verdad alli esta; porque doudequera que se encuentre en Liberty Hall en miembros de la U. N. A. alltambien estarn el espiritu de Marcos Garvey.
St; les miensbros de la U N. N.
A estarian con Mr Knox tal como lo desea el Presidente General Garvey y trabajaron como una persona por el exito de la asociacion

LIFE IN A BANTU COLLEGE
Some time ago a boy was written in the press for and against the practice of initiation" in European colleges and universities. Perhaps he may instert many of your readers to learn what the Bantu lad does at his college. Whether a boy's skin is white, black or brown he will always remain a boy until he is a man. He will always think like a boy, speak like a boy and not like a boy. The boy's paradise, where all his tricks, pranks or larks come to the surface is within the continue of a university college or training institution.
Let us then have a peep into the life of the native boy of this country while he is at college. At most of the various native training colleges in South Africa there exists or once existed—I have been out of college for a good while) a standing "boy-made" law for newcomers
At Bantu College (I give this name in order not to give offense to any particular school) a new boy has to go "through the mill" for nearly the whole of his first term before he is admitted into the inner circle of associates. He is seldom called by his name "Newcomer," "Hoo-hoo" and many other undignified names are his. Now at Bantu College, at the very beginning of the term, and on per two a month all the boys are served with a cake of yellow soap as they file out through the various exits of the dining hall after the evening meal. Directly the old hands discover that soap will be distributed that night all the new boys will be told that "cake" is being handed out at the door. In order not to be robbed by the older boys the new-men will be warned that directly the "cake" is handed to them by the head monitor at the exit they should stuff it into their mouths and gormandize forthwith. Many are the cakes of yellow soap that have had big chunks bitten out and actually swallowed in this manner.
"Have you reported yourself already?" This is a question that would occasionally be asked of a new boy. Of course, the poor boy does not know why and where he is expected to "report" himself. Therefore he replies "No." On hearing this, the questioner will quickly collect half a dozen of his dormitory associates and tell them in an anew-inspiring tone of the serious breach of regulations this new boy is guilty of. One or two of the old boys will then exhibit what seems, to all intents and purposes, genuine sympathy "Look here!" they would say "you are not considered, a permanent student of this college unless you go to the office of the boarding master and tell him that you are quite satisfied with your treatment and that you well fed. All you have to do is to loosen your white coat buttons, pull up your shirt, slap three times with your hand on your bare stomach and say, "Sir, I am comprehensively domesticated because the guerrilla social admirons me that I have destined the ultimate juncture of devolution and dietical integrity." Many are the "domesticated stomach" that have been slapped in this manner in the boarding master's office to the mingled feelings of the latter

while the indignant stare" goes through all the anthra of a bucking bronze, the old follows laugh themselves sick, find the "jokey" keeps up a rain of resounding spanks on the corpulent portion of the "hurge" anatomy
Then there is theOptional service that is usually carried out in the furrow that flows through the institution grounds. Any new boy who makes his appearance in the identity of this furrow is unceremoniously seized and ducked body and all into the water. The minister will then say, "Boy, baptize you in the name of our crushed palace dog and porridge." When the bell for means rings some of the musical spirits then come into the picture and start the national rhythm of the college. Here are the words
Nor far away.
Where we shall crushed malt, eat
Three times a day.
Oh, how the hostess lauds.
When they hear the bell for meal,
Oh, what a nice smile.
Three times a day."
This song is sung to the tune of the
hymn "There is a Happy Land, Far,
Far Away," and it fits in nicely, too.
In this dormitory where I was monitor there was 5 boy called Timothy, upon whom the other boys generally played tricks. One evening a ninety boy put a big dead frog in one of Timothy's shoots. It was winter time, and we had to attend morning classes at 7 o'clock, consequently the toilet was a hurried and scurried one, some of us had no time to put on our shoes. Timothy was a late sleeper and belonged to the sicklews brigade. When he got up, therefore, on this particular morning he put his warm, sicklews foot hurried into his boot, where it came in contact, with the cold dead body of the frog.
A bull in a china shop would not have done more damage than Timothy did in that dormitory. He ran anunck, knocking down book shelves, tables, lockstands, hestands and almost anything that came in his way, until finally he found an exit through one of the windows, whence he ran like a denoted one for the boarding master's office, where we found shipper and trembling behind the roll-up desk in one of the corners of the office. "Three hours' hard labor in the quarry digging stones" was the lot of every member of that dormitory, with the exception of the monitor and Timothy.
A public road runs through a portion of Bantu College grounds, along which heavily laden ox wagons frequently pass. The grade is a steep one when travelling eastward, so that wagons often get stuck when crossing the drift of the "aptiponal furrow" above mentioned. But the embarrassed driver need not worry because the students of Bantu College will simply un-

bitch the span of panting oxen, hook in their long, thick tug-of-war rope and run away with the wagon up the grade
One last episode: One day some native men lift the location adjoining the college endeavored to "imspan" a young, untainted balloon. Unfortunately, however, the bullock got out of hand and ran away with the rope around its shorn. It came straight down the grade above mentioned and endeavored to cross "baptismal furrow." But that was not to be, because it was here the boys generally assembled to have a little skylarking. Immediately the young bullock came into view a crowd of several hundred heads around it, overpowered it and carried it shoulder high up the hill if it wilted a mere goat. Although the boys play these tricks, they do nothing of a cruel nature to age another or to any other outside person.

As the great God and Master would have it and as we should see it, Marcus carvey in Jamaica is a greater Garvey than he would have been had he been allowed to return to New York to waste the races invaluable time in fighting a nefarious gang of bank pay squatters to be harassed by a half dozen counmouaged arrests and answering the spineless attacks of "Doctor This" and "Bishop That," etc. Leave Marcus Garvey alone and in a little which savage earthquake will be felt in many places. Meanwhile, let us organize and be prepared.
To the Editor of The Negro World.
With our great and matchless leader, the Lt Hon Marcus Garvey, best pro-
vidential President of Africa, free from the terrorizing shackles of Christian
civilization and in Kingston, Jamaica. B W I the advent of the new year
1925 has marked films to high sounding
speeches, velvet phrases and ginger-
coated words from the lips of men who
possesses more white psychology, a
good many pockets in their pants and
the desire to wax fat by their wits at
the expense of the liberty freedom and
independence of a suffering, oppressed
and beastly outraged African race, as
it has marked the end of the ignorance
of a new generation of Negroes which
has been aroused from its inebury and
catalytic trance with an unanswer-
determination to strike as others have
struck, are striking and will strike for
real emancipation, the greatest asset
to the human family - African freedom
and self-rules in Africa by the greatest
character humanity has ever known -
Marcus Garvey. President General,
Universal Negro Improvement
Association and African Communities
League.
The Negro Slept
To the Editor of the Negro World:
Taking a casual glance through the pages of history, we find them replete with the names of certain individuals who meritoriously posed as teachers, Saviors or Messiahs for certain bodies or races of people. They characteristically managed to have gripped the minds of many persons, who later became their followers.
I amCompeted through lack of space, to leave untouched many of these gifted personages. But notable among them are: Confucius, a Chinese teacher, founder of Confucianism, an ethical system based on moral relation and ancestor worship, Buddha, the great religious teacher and reformer of early India, Mohammed, founder of the Islamic religion and author of the Koran, a book similar to the Christian Bible, and written in Arabic; Christ, the founder of the Christian religion, teacher of morals, Savior of mankind and the acclaimed True Moses, and Gargyre, termed by many the Negro Moses, Black Mossiah, and savior of the Negro race
Had he been a member of the great Nordic family, with its might and power, he would undoubtedly have been an insurmountable barrier to the Negro peoples of the world in their great struggle for freedom and self-ruise in the land of their fathers. If we only understand the white man, with his sagittally commailed "I Am" his methods of putting the fear of the Lord in his intended victims, his subtlety and his willingness to meet the gentleman who knows him well enough halfway, the groom of courage, racial integrity and character would not be so sorrowfully few.
We know that the teachings of Confucius cannot be considered as strictly religious, yet they were received with such ascetic devotion that thousands, nay, millions, become converted to his teachings. Secondly we find Buddhism making a terrible sweep through China and Japan, after being driven out of India by the Brahmins, and ultimately gaining some four hundred and fifty million adherents. Now we have Mohammed, with his Koran, magnetically winning the hearts of millions, who clung with tenacious fanatism to his teachings and to the extent that we who have been brought up in Christianity, call them heathens. Then, Christ, the Master Miracle Worker, wonder teacher, unassuming, but strict Moralist, and Savor mankind. It is needless for me to endeavor to portray the magnificence displayed by this man, or more so, his teachings. Looking through the reminiscences of the past, we are forced to admit that Christianity has contributed immensely to the development of the present civilization which is a "White" civilization.
And the black man in the West
Indies, North South and Central
America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand
and Mother Africa would unite, co-
operate and organize into one great
whole under the beautiful colors of
the red, the black and the green, fear-
ing only one god having a single nim
and marching courageously and unfalter-
ingly to one destiny, and would
undoubtedly reach their goal without
any further urging from Mr Marcus
Garvey.
But the white man has peculiarity
and the black man has not yet found
out what that peculiarity is and this
great racial ones is the thing that
rests on the able shoulders of this
equally peculiar one-man power, Marcus
Garvey.
If the Italian capital were removed from Rome to Tripoli or the French capital from Paris to Senegal, or even the British capital from London to Barbados that would not circumvent the Imperialistic aspirations, of the Italians, French or English people how come, then, that the removal of the "capital" or headquarters of "Africa for the Africans" at home and abroad from New York, America, to Kingston, Jamala, could curb the national aspirations of a rising people and there great spiritual urge to free themselves of the yoke of a ruthless gang of exploiters, oppressors and brutal masters who are determined to exterminate an entire race of people rather than acquiesce in the demand of a few for a place in the African sun?
Now comes Marcus Garvey, a Negro statesman, leader and navigator of the Negro Race. Has he, to any extent, influenced his people? Why, he stated less than a decade ago and local evidences are sufficient proof in the affirmative, not to say anything of the rest of his people scattered all over the world. While the other nations were doing their best to keep the wheel of progress aging, as they relieved each other of the burden of stagnation

by throwing in their lot and assisting in turning the wheel a little faster, with every revolution, the Negro, like a fallen tree in the forest reigned dead in slumber. And like the morning sun which rises, and casts its brilliant rays over all humanity so come Garvey. And with all the torch of Nationhood, he set on fire the candlestick of race-consciousness, which have awakened the Negro and taught him to rely on himself, believe in his race, faithfully follow the leaders of his race, renounce "White" superiority, believe in a Racial Trinity—One God One Alm. One Destiny, the doing of which would stimulate him to asset in speeding up the wheel of progress, and, finally, he will be transported like vapor from the seas of obscurity to the vaulted skies of National Independence, where he shall be nearer his long hoped for heaven, and the chances of imbibing the milk and honey of happiness and prosperity, more secure.

British Premier Foe Of U. S. Union in 1862
A British cruiser in the offing at Nilegua causes not a ripple of excitement in the United States.
"But in the newest biography of that smuggest of Vigorian statesmen, Lord Palmerston, we have a glimpse of that Premier lt 1862 discussing with Judge Jenn of Georgia the British bombardment of Philadelphia. Also, the possible repetition of the British episode of 1814 when the White House was burned.
Palmerston is thus reported "He wrote with wicked glee of the defeat of Bull's Run, or rather of Yankee's Run."
Smartly as was that phrase turned by the typical John Bull in Parliament, Lee's army still failed to deliver the hoped for knockout.
"If the Southern Union is established," wrote Palmerston, "it would afford a valuable and extensive market for British manufacturers."
With his usual solemn ponderosity, Gladstone said, "Jefferson Davis has made a petition."
Russia, however, refused to join Palmerston and Napoleon the Third of France in recognizing the Confederacy and the latter were afraid to make the plunge alone.
Like a buzzard hoping for a crop of bones to pluck, Palmerston sat waiting for a great Confederate victory: Then came Gettysburg.
And that changed the buzzard's viewpoint, and he wrote, "I am very much inclined to change the opinion on which I wrote you when the Confederates seemed to be carrying everything before them."
Rather! Thus the Torties of 61 were unable to see verified the prediction of the earlier Torties of 76 that the American Republic could not endure—Philadelphia Bulletin.

MRB. GARVEY'S LAST ADVICE
Mary. Amy Jacques-Garvey was then presented to the audience by Mr E B Knox. She arose amid great applause and said "This is not my time to make a speech. I just thought we would have a heart-to-heart talk and you could tell me what you wanted me to say to Mr Garvey for you on my arrival, for I am sure he will want to know, what did the people in Liberty Hall say when I was leaving. He did not remember your name, but he will remember that one used to sit over here and the other one that used to sit over there. I trust you will keep Liberty, Hall apse and span and make it attractive. If anything goes wrong, plok it to pieces among yourselves, don't worry Mr. Garvey with those things you can best settle here Give Mr. Garvey a chance, to study and work for the greater program which he has in store for you. I will not be in Jamaica long, for, of course, we are going to cruise around the world, don't you know? (Applause) Mr Garvey is expecting you to do the same thing you did in the work for his release, to bring him back to America."
She said she would be coming backward and forward with whatever message Mr. Garvey would have for the people. "All I'll have to do is just get $80 and jump on the ship and come to New York." The meeting then closed with the presentation of several gifts to Mrs. Garvey by many of the members present, and wishes for a "bon voyage"

In the Times-1 plan of Jacksonville, Plia under date of December 4 we find an item captioned:
Husky. Negro prisoners Chant as They Plough at City Farm.
The item then goes on to tell how Negroes are used to pull a plough at the City Prison Farm on ground that is too soft to bear horses or mules.
"A long chain is attached to the front of the plough," it is explained "and sticks are run through the links at certain intervals, leaving a handle on either side of the chain. The Negroes are evenly placed along the chain, each pushing against their handles.
One Negro guides the plough and 'goes' and 'haws' whenever necessary and his commands are responded to by the prisoners."
One time, it is set forth, a Negro concluded his days' work at this task by lying on the ground and braying like a mule. The superintendent asked what he meant by such conduct.
"Well," he rephant, "If I give gonna be a male I see she" gonna act like one. "It's a great sight," the superintendent remarks, "to see from eight to ten Negro prisoners pulling a heavy plough through the soft ground, singing the top of their voices and furrowing rows even straighter than those made by a plough drawn by animals."
