THERE WILL BE AN INTERESTING, ATTENTION-RIVETTING ARTICLE, BY ARDEN BRYAN, AUTHOR OF "FOREIGN AFFAIRS" The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro Negro World Reaching the Mass of Negroes The Best Advertising Medium A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race VOL. XXV.—No. 16 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MAY 25, 1929 Marcus Garvey Appeals to Negro Peoples of the World to Build and Stop Deceiving Themselves FELLOWMEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: Some Negroes in the quest of position, and honor, have been admitted to the full enjoyment of their constitutional rights, thus we have some of our men filling high and responsible Government positions, others on their own account, have established themselves in the professions, commerce and industry. This the casual onlooker, and even the men themselves, will say carries a guarantee and hope of social equality, and permanent racial progress. But this is a mistake. There is no progress of the Negro in America that is permanent, so long as we have with us the monster evil prejudice. Prejudice Will Continue Prevent This Danger It is this danger that drives me mad. It must be prevented. We cannot allow white and black to drift along unthinkingly toward this great gulf and danger, that is nationally ahead of us. It is because of this, that I speak, and now call upon the soul of great white America to help: It is no use putting off, the work must be done, and must be started now. Some Misunderstand Some people have misunderstood me. Some don't want to understand me. But I must explain myself for the good of America, and for the good of the world and humanity. Those of the Negro race who preach social equality, and who are working for an American race that will in complexion be neither white or black, have tried to misrepresent me to the white public, and create prejudice against my work. The white public, not stopping to analyze and question the motive behind criticisms and attacks, aimed against new leaders and their movements, condemn without even giving a chance to the criticised to be heard. Those who oppose me in my own race, because I refuse to endorse their program of social arrogance and social equality, gloat over the fact that by their misrepresentation and underhand methods, they were able to have me convicted for a frame up crime which they calculated will so discredit me as to destroy the movement that I represent, in opposition to their program of a new American race; but we will not now consider the opposition to a program or a movement, but state the facts as they are, and let deep souled white America pass its own judgement. Rivalry With Increased Population In another one hundred years white America will have doubled its population, in another one hundred years it will have trebled itself, President-General Points Out the Necessity of Building for Ourselves—Only Way to Eliminate Race Prejudice But One Satisfactory Solution for the Ills Besetting the Negro at Home and Abroad A Strong Negro Nation, Capable of Protecting the Rights of its Citizens Will Guarantee Universal Peace The keen student must realize that the centuries ahead will bring us an overcrowded and over populated country; opportunities, as the population in another one hundred years it will have trebled itself between the people of their own class will become keener, and so much more so will there be no room for two competitive races, the one strong and the other weak. To imagine Negroes as District Attorneys, Judges, Senators, Congressmen, Assemblymen, Aldermen, Government clerks, and officials, artisans and laborers at work while millions of white men starve, is to have before you the bloody picture of wholesale mob violence, that I fear, and against which I am working. No preaching, no praying, no presidential edict, will control the passion of hungry unreasoning men of prejudice when the hour comes. It will not come I pray in our generation, but it is of the future that I think and for which I work. Think of a generation of ambitious Negro men and women, gut from the best Colleges, Universities, Institutions, capable of filling the highest and best positions in the nation, industry, commerce, society and politics! Can you keep them back? If you do so they will agitate and throw your constitution in your faces. Can you stand before civilization and deny the truth of your constitution? What are you going to do then? You who are just will open the door of opportunity and say to all and sundry "Enter in." But ladies and gentlemen, what about the mob, that starving crowd of your own race? Will they stand by, suffer and starve, and allow an opposite competitive race to prosper in the midst of their distress? If you can conjure these things up in your mind, then you have the vision of the race problem of the future in America. There is but one solution, and that is to provide an outlet for Negro energy, ambition, and passion, away from the attraction of white opportunity and surround the face with opportunities of its own. If this is not done, and if the foundation for same is not laid now, then the consequences will be sorrowful for the weaker race, and be disgraceful to white ideals of justice, and shocking to white civilization. Negroes Must Have Nation The Negro must have a country, and a nation of his own. If you laugh at the idea, then you are foolish and wicked, for you and your children do not intend that the Negro shall discommode you in yours. If you do not want him to have a country and a nation of his own; if you do not intend to give him equal opportunities in yours; then it is plain to see that you mean that he must die even as the Indian to make room for another race. Why should the Negro die? Has he not served America and the world? Has he not borne the burden of civilization in this Western world for three hundred years? Has he not contributed of his best to America? Surely all this stands to his credit, but there will not be enough room and the one answer is "find a place." We have found a place, it is Africa and as Black, three centuries have helped white men build America, surely generous and grateful white men and women will help black men build Africa. And why shouldn't Africa and America travel down the ages as protectors of human rights and guardians of democracy? Why shouldn't black men help white men secure and establish universal peace? We can only have peace when we are just to all mankind and for that peace, and for the reign of universal love. I now appeal to the soul of white America. Let the Negroes have a government of their own. Don't encourage them to believe that they will become social equals and leaders of the whites in America without first on their own account proving to the world that they are capable of evolving a civilization of their own. The white race can best help the Negro by telling him the truth, and not by flattering him into believing that he is as good as any white man without first proving the racial, national constructive metal of which he is made. Stop flattering the Negro about social equality, and tell him to go to work and build for himself. Help him in the direction of doing for himself, and let him know that self progress brings its own rewards. I appeal to the considerate and thoughtful conscience of white America not to condemn the cry of the Universal-Negro Improvement Association for a nation in Africa for Negroes, but to give us a chance to explain ourselves to the world. White America is too big and when informed and touched, too liberal to turn down the cry of the awakened Negro for "a place in the sun." With best wishes I have the honor to be, Your Obedient Servant, (Signed) President-General. UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION Edelweis Park, 67 Slipe Road, Cross Roads P.

Honee's Band BUSINESS MANAGEMENT BY U. A. LEGIONS University Discussion in New York, Connecticut and Jersey are invited NEW YORK, Liberty Hall, Sunday night, May 19, 1920.--Under the auspices of the Garvey Club, a wonderful mass meeting of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was held. The audience listened with intense interest to the various speakers who reminded their hearers of their glorious and ancient history and bade them endeavor to restore it again to themselves. After the usual professional, which was followed by prayers read from the ritual, a short concert program was rendered. The U. N. I. A. Band under the command of Prof. Ulric Hassell contributed a few lively numbers to the evening's program. The President General's message from the Blackman was read by Hon. R. Pettit, our vice-president. Little Miss Ethelline Duckett of the J. C. Corps gave a recitation which delighted the audience; and made them know that she too was very much interested in Africa and her leader the Hon. Marcus Garvey. The members of the choir, Black Cross-Nurses and U. A. Legions also contributed their part to the evening's program. There was a presentation of badges from Mr. Walcott, president of the Usher Board to his co-workers through the Lady vice-president, Mrs. L. McCartney. Hon. Mine, M. L. T. DeMena's Addess Officers and members of, the Garvey Club. Tonight I have come to you from the various divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association which I have been visiting and resuscitating, endowing to get them acting for the Sixth International Convention of the Negro People's of the world. I bring you greetings from Pittsburgh, Washington, D. C., Baltimore, Md., and Bradock, Pa. The spirit of the members and friends at these divisions is very encouraging. They are pressing forward to the goal with the hope of attaining their desired haven in the readjustment of human affairs, of which we too form a great part. I would like to speak to you from the subject of "The use is at the root HOW ONE THIN WOMAN GAINED 11 POUNDS HOW ONE THIN WOMAN GAINED 11 POUNDS of the tree." Today, you who have read the newspapers and articles of religion and science must realize that mankind to some extent has succeeded through the methods of science to achieve their aims and desires and to further perpetuate their domination, and existence of superiority. They have left that side of life, of dying, and are determined to live on, and control both land and sea, the atmosphere above and the sea below. The religion that Garvey taught us is "that every race should see God in our own image just like themselves." We believe in God better than anyone in the world. When we stop and hear the mighty rumbling, we fully realize and know that there is a mighty power of Nature that rules the universe. We believe that if God says, "Our Father which art in Heaven, thy kingdom come," but where, on earth as it is in Heaven, where is heaven? but on earth. If it was left to me to tell where heaven was I would not take you to Bethlehem or Judae; where those black men were fighting for other races, but I would show you the place where bullrush and flowers cannot be penetrated. God is working in a mysterious way His wonders to perform. Ladies and gentleman of the black race, we want you to realize that the doctrines of Garveyism is for the unlift of a fallen people. The black men and women of our race need protection of every kind; therefore let us spread Garveyism. Whether you like the U. N. I. A. or not the Red, Black and Green represents you. Our slogan is "Africa for the Africans, those at home, and those abroad." You will find women of the race blazing the trail of an African Redemption. In the year 1802 on the island of Hayyll it was a woman that gave inspiration to the soldiers of Dysolene. Are you going to sit idly by and say that you have lost nothing in Africa? Let us harken to the voice of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and see nothing; but a free and redeemed Motherland Africa. Address of Mrs. E. Capers, Lady Pres. Mr. Chairman, Officers and members, I am glad indeed to be with you again tonight. We have come to get inspiration and strength from each other to help us to continue this great struggle that we are engaged in. This is the place that we must from time to time, meet and assemble ourselves one with the other, and draw from the fountain of life. Garveyiana in our theme. Let us sound it far and near. When we think of our leader who has made a living sacrifice of himself for us as a people, it urges us on to victory; it urges us on to climb the steep and rugged pathway that we must reach to attain success, and our goal. We are proud to be Garveyiana, and we intend to lift up the hands, of our leader; for he has the goods, and is traveling with his hand in God's hand. Cen. J. A. Goldstein Speaks May I please the Hon. Assit, International Organizer, officers and members, indiana and gentlemen, it is with great pleasure that I greet you in the spirit of Garveyism. I want to outline to you the various groups (continued on page 2) In essaying to discuss this much mooted question, we have endeavored to approach it in a frank, fearless, cool, naive, dispassionate attitude, without the bias of racial feeling or of any patriotic sentiment. "Can Africa be Redeemed? Is the question that shoots itself up to the people of the Negro race from every quarter of the globe, and from every quarter do seems to hear the answering challenge of the dark-skinned sons of Ham, that 'Africa must be free,' hence this article. Africa, the home of the Apyssinians, (Ancient Ethiopians) Egyptians, Gambians, Senegalese, Nigerians, Ashtanis, Basitos, Becuahians, Bantu, Mandingoes, Zulus, Matabeles, and many, many other tribes, is a vast continent, covering an area of more than twelve million square miles of land. The Equator passes through the center of this great continent, from east to west. Africa contains an area that can be best realized, when one understands that it could take in all of the continent of Europe; and still have room for the United States of America, China, and the vast country of the Hindus, India; as the map will show. There are at present in Africa, Abyssinia. An independent nation that boasts a sovereignty as far back as the mind of man can fathom. They have never bowed the knee to tribute; and the prowess of their warriors can be attested by the Italians, whose army of 100,000 men was routed and cut to pieces, when it was sent to subjugate the Abyssinians some thirty years ago. in a quarrel over territory which is now called Italian Somaliland; Egypt, mother of civilization, with a history that is baffling, and who once ruled the world as it was known in the day of her greatness; and to whose shrines and sacred monuments' scholars from all the world pour each year in an endeavor to learn something about the primeval history of mankind. Egypt is again independent today; but through certain things which have come to pass here recently England has seen it to throne the iron glove again into Egypt's vitals, with disgusting and irritating consequences; and reports from that country tell of so great an unrest that anything can be expected to happen there, in the near future; and then there you find Uganda, Nigeria, smaller kingdoms of lesser importance, under a British Protectorate, countries which have never ceded their independence to England or to any one else; and which are held in subjunction only by fear of the British Iron Hand. It is estimated that there are upwards of seven hundred different tribes in Africa, with as many, digests; and in this the white robber nations of Europe see their greatest hope of continuing to dominate the land of Africa. But, judging from the past experiences of these same European nations are can see no reason for their optimism, when you take the great and spreading present interest into consideration. Africa today is dominated by England, who holds the Union of South Africa, which includes the former two Dutch Boer Republics, known as the Transvaal, and the Orange Free State, Cape Colony, Najal, Zululand, Matabeleland, Bantoland, Bechikand land, and several smaller tracts, together with the mandated German colonie in what was formerly known as German East Africa, Sierra Leone, Gold Coast, Nigeria, Uganda, part of Somaliland, and several other jeserien known sections, between the Zambia and the head waters of the Nile; France who owns a large colonial empire, in Senegal, Gambia, French Equatorial Africa, and a part of Morocco; Belgium, who rules with merciless capacity the region known as Belgian-Congo; Portugal, which owns Portuguese East Africa; and Italy, who dominates Tripoli, and a part of Somaliland. When one realizes the vast extent of the continent of Africa, and comes to understand that there are living in Africa an estimated population of upwards of two hundred and thirty millions of Negroes and peoples of Negroid origin, one, wonders how could such a vast continent be dominated by a few European nations, for such a long time. But the diversity of dialects, and the continual internecine warfare that has been kept up between the tribes will explain the cause. Realizing the futility of constantly fighting tribesmen, who would rather light than do anything else, the white nations have resorted to subtle strategy. The game has been in decline and rule. Hence they have fomented strife among their various tribes, so that there was no unity of sentiment in all that vast continent. Every individual tribe was for itself, and was not concerned with the fate of any other tribe, except to meet them in mortal combat. And in many instances when the tribes have been weakened by these intertribal warfare the big robber nations have demanded their arms, and implements of warfare, allowing them only the most primitive weapons. But a new day has begun to dawn over the continent of Africa; a land that has been more stained than any other land on earth; notwithstanding the fact that she was 17 million of the earth's continents, and that the suburbs of all these nations young males plunged into abyss in how all the millions of human beings. When these nations have proceeded to dismember the planet they have drowned, leaving only pearls and gums. countries. They have laid grievous burdens on the backs of these people. In the Belgian Congo conditions are more intolerable than in other parts of that continent. Since the inclusion of the two former Dutch Boer republics Transvaal and Orange Free State in the Union of South Africa, the plight of the natives in that part of Africa is becoming worse daily; intolerable, despite all the pititions and petitions; until at the present time the political pot is about ready to boil over. The eyes of the native African have been opened to the many wiles of the Europeans, and they are preparing a surprise for those who have hitherto kept them separate and robbed them of every thing in the shape of opportunity, that would bring them into a realization of the possibilities that lay in their souls. Everywhere you turn, over that great continent, there is a sign of unrest, and turbulency of spirit, that is appalling. The natives, are beginning to understand that they are all of one common father, and therefore the problems which affect one tribe must of necessity affect the other. They have begun to realize the means the white nations used in keeping them in subjection. The Boer in the Union of South Africa, by his unkind, unchristian and unjust treatment of the native, is hastening the coming, of the day when revolution will flare out in a wide measure; and this will be the signal for the general confagration, which we believe will not come to a close, until the redemption of Africa is an accomplished fact. When it is again understood that every one of the African tribes, is a fighting one, with a dash and daring that have never been surpassed, you will wonder how can anyone ever dream of the continual domination of Africa by the few white nations of Europe. There is no army large enough, or with resources enough at its command that can completely, or even partially dominate a united race of Negroes in Africa. There is no power or combination of powers, for that matter, in Europe or elsewhere that can marshal force enough to conquer 230,000,000 millions of united fighting Africans, who know not defeat, and have no fear for death. The truth of their brotherhood has been caught by even the remotest of the jungle tribes. There is no more of the same kind of inter-tribal wars which marked the Africa of fifty, or sixty years ago. Kaulir, Basuto, Matabele, Bantu and Zulu have come to understand each other. The tribes have produced men who are on the level educationally with the men of any rate in that land; and these have not been resting on their oars. They have been spreading the gospel of redemption, as the one and only, solution for the yewing problem, which has been created by white rapacity and greed; and the inhuman exploitation of their brethren and their lands. Native life in many sections of Africa is intolerable today, as far as recolored men are concerned. The native has come to a true realization of the situation. There is no power on earth that can really overcome a rebellion, the like of which is bound to come in Africa, sooner or later; and thinking men must tremble for the safety of those who for years without number have given the natives a very taste of hell, in their rapacious desire to amass an abundance of riches.' The records of the past wars of the colonial empire 'building nations with the various tribes given us something to reflect on'. The Zulu Wars; the Ashanti War; The Benin Expedition; the Soudan War; under Osman Digna, and more recently the war in Morocco, when Abdel Krim almost drove Spain out of Morocco, but for the help of France. France pins her faith on the Senegalese regiments which she has recruited. They are on the Rhine, some of them, some THE DOCTORS quite approve the quick comfort of Bayer Aspirin. These petfectly harmless tablets ease an aching head without penalty. Their increasing use year after year is proof that they do help and can't harm. Take them for any ache; to avoid the pain peculiar to women; many how found them miraculous at such times.

Africa Must Be Free Africa With A Great Message To The World Calls To Every Negro Black Man Destined to Take His Rightful Place in the World before there were so many colonial powers. The signs are plainly evident that there is something in the air. The clouds are dark and ominous today, foretelling a determination to cast oppression to the winds. The African at home is fighting mad; waiting only for the coming of the time when he shall have marshalled all his forces, and throw again his battle flag to the breeze. Isandlana, Accra, Kumasi, and Firket, and Atbara, will be fought again on a grander scale, with all the odds in favor of the black man this time. Because of his understanding of the use of all the implements of modern warfare, and of the use of other implements of which the white-overlords must be kept in total ignorance till the signal is given, Africans at home will be ready for the great Africa With Message To Calls To Black Man Destined Place in t Impossible to Stop Min and U Elsewhere in this issue we publish a manifesto to be moved by the Rev. Z. R. Mahthane, ex-President General of the African National Congress, in the forthcoming adjourned session of the above organization which assembles in Community Hall, Bloemfonte on the 19th inst: We have no doubt that the manifesto voices the feelings of every black man in Africa—educated and uneducated, civilized, tribal and detribalized. When we say it voices the feeling of every Black man, we are fully aware that we are saving a great deal. Every black man loves liberty and freedom quite as much as the other fellow. To prove this, the reader has only to read the appeal of Dr. Some. In other words the manifesto calls upon our oppressors to gracefully stand aside and allow the song and daughters of Africa to pass, for it is as impossible to stop them on their glorious onward march to liberty and greatness, as it is for a man to stand mid stream, and with bare hands, stop the fishes from passing whither they will. The black man is destined to take his rightful place in the world, and to rule as did his ancestors, the famous Cushites of ancient Ethiopia and Egypt, for did not his forefathers build great empires in Ethiopia, Egypt, on the banks of the Nile, Rhodesia and Arabia and introduce religion, science and arts to the world, and lay the foundation of the present civilization? - Yeah! Africa civilized the world when it was in- Lord, let me live, that I may dare, To face, the world without a care: Keep ever on the upward trail, My face to toward the Holy Grail. So let me live, and when day is done, And my face greets the setting sun; I need not fret about the past; But take the victor's crown against. Then, when edge out life's little day, And all earth's shadows but away, I must my father face to step, Dominated by life unwilling power. Lord, let me live, that I may dare, To face, the world without a care: Keep ever on the upward trail, My face to toward the Holy Grail.

And it is that decree, and the knowledge that they are being led on by the hand of Omnipotence, that is nerving the sons and daughters of Ham everywhere to rally to call." And when one takes all these outstanding factors into consideration, even the most skeptical will decide that "Africa must, will and shall be redened." A Great The World Every Negro to Take His Rightful the World in the March Onward pward habited by heathens, savages and barbarians. The Africa of today has a great message to the world, which cannot be suppressed by men on earth. Every black man is a necessary unit in the great scheme which emanates from the Creator. Let us therefore, all fall in time, quick march and hasten the day of the liberation of the African and the realization of the prophecy of old when Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands to God and Princes shall come out of Egypt. SPECIAL TO OUR BLOEMFONTEIN - The president, general, J. T. Guinea, addressing the Upper House of the African National Congress last week, said they represented the chief council of the Native Congress. They were absolutely under the power of the Minister of Native Affairs and his officials. The people who made the laws and regulations for the natives were the officials of the Native Departmet. The natives were always singled out for class regulations, and their very color was their undeing. Chiefs were deposed without their cases being brought to the courts of justice and were placed under the authority of under chiefs. When natives wanted to go away from their homes they had to ask permission from the Commissioners, and they could stay away only seven days. Dented Free Speech The Act of 1927 was a disgrace to civilization. They were denied free speech. If the white men were placed for only one week under this Act there would be a revolution. The natives found themselves under foreign-yoke. Their rulers were now making laws oppressive to the Bantu people. The black man was pushed away from the farms to the towns and many towns were already overcrowded with natives who could not find work. The Bishop of Bloomfontein had referred to their ignorance, but we would ask him whether the Great War which carried away millions of lives, was the work of wisdom and humanity. Power of Money The key to freedom was nothing but money. The power of England was her money. It was also the case with the United States. There were millions of natives in the Union and the key to freedom was money. He commanded them to collect money, say, £6,000,000 or £10,000,000 to start their own industries and to help themselves. They must collect money and buy land where they could get it and settle their landless people. They must start their own industries and must take an interest in education. Old men and women must learn to read and write and the young people must take off their coats and work. They had to start their own co-operative stores. Chief Mini of Nata rose to say a few words in support of the president-general when the Communist Kadia entered the hall and interrupted him. There was an uprout and he was removed.

We, as new Negroes must think new. "Where there is no vision the people perish." I, as a Garveyite and loyal supporter of the cause, think something must be done in commemoration to those of our race who loyally supported the Cause of the U. N. I. A. in our local divisions, so that the Negroes may be more respected in our local groups. Such men, women or children the names of whom should be as "household words," in the community where they reside. We are that every local division of the U. N. I. A. procures a recording book for the purpose of inscribing the names of any individual who deserves any merit of honor or manifold services rendered to the race, in their respective community. Let past errors of officers be cast aside, and place on record the good that is being done. By so doing we can be assured that our love will reign in our local divisions.

W. I. HENRIETTA VINCENT DAVIS necessary while the endurance of the Negro people could be maintained for the future is assured by none of the Negro Church. The church is undoubtedly the greatest influence for women. It has added here and there within help in our progress its colony, stables, hospitals, suctioned, sustained real estate holdings. However, has the Negro Church ever shown its real perfusion? Think of the millions of Negroes and their esteemed pennies which are thrown year after year into the collection plates of over forty-two thousand Negro churches in this country, not to mention thousands of others in foreign countries. Think of the undermournished, overworked and unhappy soul, who give freely their last dollar to the Negro Church. Think of the immumerable hardships ahead of your boy and girl. In this trying world of ours. Think of the help and encouragement which you have received from your church in the hour of need (?). Think friend! Think of your future and that of your family. Have I asked you to do anything unreasonable? You know as well as I do that the Negro Church, while it is not a failure, it has failed to be of any worthy service to its race. You know that millions of dollars are helipless tied up in exorbitantly priced church buildings which do not accrue one cent, in way of revenue. You know that scores of Negro preachers are simply "time-killers"—those who preach that which you do not understand, and which they know less. You know that hundreds of spineless men do very little. You are neither of the kind. HIM your husband, brother and financial brother, nor not his nephew. His Negro Church, though anything which he has given for the good of his pains to the city. You often allow you have full the wrong and abused and deserting the existence of your Queen, when you think of the mournfullike attitude of the church in the performance of its duties. God exists, and he shall use the Negro Church, as his vehicle to bring His chosen people together, not like his gara, but giver; not the oppressed, rather the deliverers of the oppressed peoples of the earth. The Negro Church of today is as strong as its personnel. It is nothing more than a medley of the various white denominations. Its power for good or evil cannot be denied. It is badly in need of the Christ Consciousness. Its cosmopolitan ramifications are absolutely destructive. Its leaders believe that subdivision is necessary—the more Negro denominations we have the better for all concerned. This is characteristic of the old Negro, who sees the virtue of a thing only in its shadow. While the Old Negro is thinking of more denominations, the white race is driving an International Campaign to, amalgamate its denominations into one gigantic White Church of the World. Permit me to quote in part from May 4th inst., issue of the "Literary Digest." "Protestant Reunion is proceeding more rapidly than perhaps, is generally realized. Canada, of course, led the way, with the organic union of the Methodist, Presbyterian and Congregational churches in the year 1925. Now, in Scotland, Presbyterianism will be practically united in one church of Scotland in 1929," writes Dr. R. J. Wilson in "The New Outlook" (Toronto); and in England, Methodism, divided for more than a century, will likely become united in 1931. . . . the Congregationalist and Christian churches, with a membership of 1,000,000 have become united administratively at the top. . . A union of the Evangelical Synod of North America, the Reformed Church of the United States and the Church of the United Erethren in Christ is also, in prospect. . . . The Protestant-Episcopal Church has proposed a consultation among five leading churches, looking on organic union. . . . "Perhaps in advance of the Western Churches in the matter of union are the new national Christian, churches of the Orient, for, as Dr. Wilson tells us: "The Church of Christ in China is already organized. It includes representatives from Swedish Evangelical, United Brethren in Christ, London Missionary Society, nine Presbyterian bodies, the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, the English Baptist and the United Church of Canada. . . . "In India two unions are taking place, the United-Church of North The U. N. L. A., societies, lodges, clubs and other Negro organizations should use their influence to help arouse the Negro Church from, her lethargy. The race is tired of the present day Negro Church (the rollers, holy jimmers, religious dancers, midnight exhorters, spirit twisters, black rear guards of the overworked white sects, et. cetera) which it has outgown. You, a new, intelligent, thoughtful Negro, do something in your own behalf — demand a United Negro Church, which is as militant, as the Church of Rome; legislative, as the Church of England (protestant-episcopal); clannish, as the Seventh Day Adventist; conservative, as the Quaker Church; businesslike, as the Jewish Church; charitable, as the Salvation Army; sacrificial, as the Moslem Church and, as wealthy, as all churches combined. It's possible. God has ordained it thus—let's claim it! Remember, Vinct omnia veritas (Truth conquers all things). (Next week, "The 23rd Psalm as Is" a fine article, written in a simple style. R. R. P.) Every Negro should read these intelligent, inspired soul-stirring articles on Religion by Dr. Porter. Every Negro preacher ought to read, think and act. The church, especially among Negroes, is not what it ought to be. It has but scratched the surface of its usefulness. Negro preachers (it is with those we are concerned at present) lack vision; lack efficiency in many cases, lack energy, pep, poise, progressiveness. They, in the majority of instances do not reflect the Christ spirit, or the Christ personality. The need spiritual and physical information. Dr. Porter is blazing a trail. He is lighting a beacon whose rays shall influence voyager on the sea of life, wherever man is found. More power, more courage, more faith, and more vision to you. Dr. Porter, Carry On! THE EDITOR. ADVICE TO THE PROFANE When intensely angry and searching for a fitting word to express yourself, say "Roosevelt," which, we are reliably informed, is the biggest dam known. Church Women Urge- Justice Between Races Vast Methodist Constituency of South Asked to Interest Themselves Especially in Improvement of Negro Schools THE WOMAN WHO WAS A WOMAN If you want to have a lighter, clearer and more lovely complexion . . . a complexion that gets more fascinating every day you may have it by using these famous Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whitener Beauty Preparations. An easy to use home beauty treatment that awakens that dull, lifeless, sallow skin and gives it a smooth, soft, velvety texture, removing pimples, blotches and tan marks. ATLANTA; Ga., May 1.—The organized women of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, numbering a quarter of a million, are urged to give their support to the promotion of interracial justice and particularly to interest themselves in the improvement of Negro school facilities, in an appeal issued by the Jubilee Social Conference of the Woman's Missionary Council recently held here. Reaffirming their "adherence to the interracial platform of good will and justice," the members of the conference recognized their obligation to keep clearly in view "the needs of Negroes as individuals, as workers, as producers of wealth, as parents and children, and as people whose aspirations for education and larger opportunity should be cherished." The statement continues: Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whitener Ointment lightens the darkest skin and gives it a loveliness that gets more exquisite every day. The dainty Skin Whitener Soap cleanses the skin, smoothing away that roughness and gets rid of that "shiny" appearance. The Face Powder, in addition to keeping the skin soft, smooth and velvety, also clings to the skin and lasts so long that constant powdering is unnecessary, one application frequently lasting all day . . . and the famous Hair Dresser is a toilet necessity that no woman now-a-days can very well be without; it keeps your hair soft and glossy and in place hours and hours after one application. "Since education is a price condition of character and citizenship, we urge our missionary societies to engage in a personal study of Negro schools in their communities, through personal visitation, observation of buildings, sanitation, space, lighting, equipment, location, grounds, character of teachers, their salary and preparation. We recommend that this be done in cooperation and under the counsel of the most responsible Negro citizens of the community, and with the purpose of eventually making every Negro elementary school what any school for any child ought to be, and further, of placing a high school education within the reach of all Negro boys and girls who aspire for higher preparation for life." DR. FRED PALMER'S SKIN WHITENER Preparations keeps your complexion youthful The statement, which was adopted unanimously, was drafted by Mrs. W. D. Reeves and Miss Louise Young of Tennessee, Mrs. Ernest-Hudson of Kentucky, Mrs. S. W. Henry of South Carolina, Mrs. Maud Henderson of Alabama, Mrs. Wallace, Rogers of Georgia; and Mrs. J.
