REV. JOHN W. JOHNSON SPEAKS AT GRACE CHURCH Preaches Special Sermon at Annual Service for Work Among Colored People Rev. Isaac Adams, of Persia, delivers an interesting Address at the Y. M. C. A.—A Week of Entertainments: The Phyllis Wheatly Fluffy Ruffles, The Palestine Whist Club, and Iamthia Wheelmen Give Elaborate Affairs—An Elevator Man Killed—Sprinter Taylor Wirs. At Grace Church, Broadway and 10th streets, there took place last Sunday a most unusual but significant occurrence. This congregation, one of the wealthiest and most influential in the United States, made its annual offering for the support of work among colored people of the Protestant Episcopal Church. Contrary to all precedent, but in a spirit of sweet Christian unity and in recognition of the splendid work which the Rev. John W. Johnson has done on the upper west side the Rev. Dr. William R. Huntington, who in more ways than one has shown himself a true friend of the colored people, invited the Rev. Mr. Johnson to be the special preacher upon this occasion. Accepting the invitation, the Rev. Mr. Johnson chose as his text, St. Matt. 20: 14, and in the presence of an audience of more than 1,500 persons who completely filled the church, delivered a most excellent sermon that was listened to with marked attention and that will doubtless increase the interest of New York churchmen in work among the colored people. Paul Baptist Church, and Rev. N. A. Mackey, who brought sunshine to the children. The B. Y. P. U. is steadily growing under the leadership of Miss Ferguson. Sister L. Robinson, of the missionary hand, gave the young people a strong, helpful talk, which was appreciated. Bro. J. E. Yates, clerk of the church, opened the topic for the evening. sub- At St. Cyprian's last Sunday morning there was a large congregation to hear the preacher, Rev. Eloarda Howard, who preached a stirring and most helpful sermon. The services were relevant and the music inspiring. At the evening service the vicar, the Rev. J. W. Johnson, preached from Jeremiah 5:30-31. The congregation of St. Cyprian's expect to enter their new house of worship about Easter weekday. Services are held on Thursdays at 7:30 p.m., after which the pastor gives an instruction to those looking forward to confirmation. On Feb. 21st and March 3d, respectively, pre-Lenten entertainments will be given for the benefit of the church building fund. The first entertainment will be given under the auspices of the Dramatic Center, Y. M. C. A., and is a drama entitled "Freezing One's Mother-in-Law." The other, on March 3d, is a musical drama given by certain young people of several Episcopal churches in Manhattan. St. James' Industrial Fair. The second annual industrial exhibition of St. James Presbyterian Church opened on Tuesday evening with a Japanese tea and reception. Mr. W. Harvey, assisted by Mrs. Harvey, represented the royal family of Japan. The program consisted of solos, recitations and choruses. Special features were: Songs, by the three-year-old Japanese child Miss Garner; the Kotakai sisters, Misses B. Milero, C. Milero, E. Milero; the Togo sisters, Misses Beatrike Clarko, Blancheko Clarko, Miss A. Winsome Kaneko, Princess; the Gengi sisters, the Misses L. Mondo and W. Whitmerko, Mrs. K. Kingo, of Kan Pin, and her boy ushers wete on hand. Wednesday evening, coporation night, different business men of the city took part in the program, their addresses and talks, illustrated with a stereopticon machine, added much to the interest of the evening. Mr. John H. Atkins was chairman of the meeting. * Thursday evening, music and art The program is as follows: Prelude and instrumental solo, Mrs. W. Harvey; solo, John Mason; recitation, Miss Edith Leonard; solo, Miss Estelle Payton; reading, Miss Maud Bulkley; selection, new female quartette; reading, Mrs. Scott McClendon; reading, Mr. H. L. Pryor; reading, Mrs. G. W. Allen; exhibits in painting, Mrs. E. P. Roberts. Friday evening, tailors and dressmakers. Measures for suits and dresses will be taken by experts and the garments will be delivered on the closing night. This night promises to be a surprise. On Sunday morning last Rev. Butler preached an inspiring sermon to a large congregation, taking as his text, "The Call of Judgment." Deut. 30; 29. At the evening service upon request of several members he repeated his sermon of three weeks ago on the "Unpardonable Sun." The former sermon has caused large comment among the members and a diversity of opinion. The Sunday school was largely attended, also other devotional exercises. Evangelist Mackey at Union Church. The three services held in Union Baptist Church were well attended all day. The Rev. N. A. Mackey, the great evangelist, was present and preached all day. His subject at the morning service was "The stirring of the church." Event 22: 11. He did not fail to stir the church by the masterly manner in which he treated the subject. In his preface to the sermon he stated that this church was the cosmopolitan church of the North and that no Baptist church this side of Heaven has grown so fast as this one, with its record of two church buildings and 1,200 members. His reason for its phenomenal growth was its great leader and its great people holding up the hands of their leader for the advancement of the cause of Christ. His text for the afternoon service was "Gathering the Children," and he treated it in Christine masterly way. The summer school was well attended — my collection was $12.13 and there were several items taken by them Mrs. Smith, of St. The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.

A meeting was especially interesting last Sunday. The speaker was Rev. Isaac Adams, of Persia, who spoke on "Persia and Its Inhabitants." He was picturesquely attired in high class. Mohammedan costume. He first explained the religion of the Zoroastrians, or Fire worshippers! He said: They believe this fire was brought from temples, with spice and sandal wood. They believe this fire was brought from Heaven by Zoroaster, and they give it human sacrifices, believing that the AN APHO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION NEW YORK, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20. 1908 THE JOINT COUNCIL OF BISHOPS, IN SESSION AT WASHINGTON, D. C. earthly deeds of the victim will send him to Paradise or destruction. So Zoroastrianism is a religion of works. There are also the devil-worshippers, who regard satan as we do. Christ—as the world's master. God rules heavens, the devil rules the earth. It is therefore criminal to spit on the earth. These worshippers are Kurds, the most savage people on earth. They measure a man by the number of men he has murdered. "The State religion of Persia is Mohammedanism. It commands priests to educate boys, but girls must remain in ignorance. It promises a carnal heaven, with palaces, feasts and hours, to be earned by asceticism and self-flagellation on here on earth. Anyone who dies a certain time in the year goes to heaven. As a result there are many suicides at that time of the year. All these rules apply to men only; the women don't count; they have no souls; they are only machines of labor. Notwithstanding these severe customs, however, Mohammedanism has 216,000,000 followers." Rev. Adams, after reciting the Lord's Prayer and some poetry in Chaldean and Persian tongues, said that Christianity was the best religion because it was a religion of love, and the great Eastern religions are full of bloodshed.

Lyee, formerly of New York and Boston; Dr. Mason, financial secretary of Livingston College, and Rev. John Dickerson, of Jacksonville, Fla. In the evening Rev. Ranson preached to the Knights of Pythias. He said that "such organizations are conservators of frater- nity. They carry out Christ's idea of peace. 'Oh how good it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.' Christ emphasized the need and benefit of perfect brotherhood. Such organizations as the Knights of Pythias put Christ's precept into practical effect.' The Palatine Reception. The Palestine Whist Club, a social organization of ladies and gentlemen of Manhattan, gave the third of their annual receptions at Murray Hill Lyceum, on Friday evening, February 14, and easily eclipsed from every point of view their former attempts. This second annual full dress ball was an event of beauty; the ladies appeared in gowns of exquisite design and beauty, and the gentlemen were at their best. It would prove an endless task to describe all the many striking costumes that contributed to the brilliancy of the scene. The goddess of fashion was certainly in control. An opinion voiced by many present was that the most beautiful gown was worn by Miss Christine Egbert. Her dress was a beautifully wrought creation of white net and Pannie velvet, trimmed with point Venice lace, embroidered in gold. The music was by the New Amsterdam Orchestra and was greatly enjoyed.

HARR FOURTH ROW: R. S. WILLIAMS, G. W. CLINTON ```markdown ``` The Phallia Wheatley Club The Phyllis Wheatly Club, composed of members of the Y W C A, gave a very original "Fluffy Ruffles" concert last Friday evening at American Theatre Hall. The program included some of the best talent of New York. The first singer was Mrs Ida B. Clay, who rendered effectively a lively song. Minnie Prima D. Lyon Leonard followed her and was fondly applauded before she materialized a meg. She soon proved her right to the sobriquet, "The Floral Nightingale," and worthily added an other hit to her already brilliant reputation as one of New York's top ten singers. The best striking event was Mickey's impersonation of Anna Field in three gestures and voice he portrayed better than many women would have done. After singing the Carrissan Model I song, "I Just Can't Make My Eyes Believe," he changed costume and imitated Anna in Mantelea dance. Many in the crowd thought him a real woman unintended, a splendid wig off, and a cool of the characters in a mime voice. The next feature was the presentation of a drama, "The Opal King," written by Mrs. Francis M. Keyser, of the White Rose Mission. It was a nice little play and was well acted. The part of the drama was played by Miss Eva D. Timpson. It cast included Mrs. Arangita A. Holshon, Mrs. King, Mrs. Irine Muller, Anna Miller, Berthea Miles, Edna Jackson, Beatrice Cark, Cora Hayes, Missrs. William Brown, Charle's Strong, Lewis Hicks, Jenkins and Whitaker. The concert was followed by a lively dance. The dance was stopped for two minutes to give the ladies a chance to parade their tuffy ruffles. The three judges applauded finally decided that the best "Tuffy Ruffles" on the floor was Mrs. John Timpson and the next best, Miss Fistle Payton. (Continued on page 8.) The Hughes Republican League Hold Big Meeting at Young Men's Republican Club Commemorating Birthdays of Lincoln and Douglass—Brilliant Addresses Given at Y. M. C. A. by Ladies—Presidential Candidates Endorsed, but not Harmoniously. A meeting of unusual interest was that which was held last Wednesday afternoon at the Carlton Avenue Branch Y. M. C. A., under the auspices of the Equal Suffrage League, celebrating jointly the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. The meeting, which was largely attended, was called to order by the president, Dr. V. Morton Jones. Mrs. L. C. Smith, the secretary, recorded. After the routine business of the League was transacted, the program for had known and experienced the tortures of slavery. We must teach the rising generations to seek out the good qualities in a person's life and not always search for the flaws or bad qualities." Miss Bailey gave a soprano solo, after which Mrs. S. J.

J. COPPIN, ABRAM GRANT, TON, ELIAS COTTRELL. the occasion was given. In introducing the subject, Dr. Jones said: "Douglass spent all of his life after his escape from slavery in trying to liberate his fellow man. He was an ideal race man. With Lincoln I believe the emancipation of the slaves was a war measure. He did not spend all of his time trying to emancipate the slaves as did Douglass. Had the South sworn allegiance to the Union and laid down their arms, there would probably have been a gradual emancipation." Mrs. S. J. S. Garnell said that after the Southern Confederacy had returned to the Union Lincoln emancipated the slaves just the same, because he had said with or without them he would free the slaves and he did. Miss Eate and Payne spoke along the same line as did Mrs. Garnett. Mrs. M. C. Lawton said she believed Abraham Lincoln was the instrument through which God wrought the emancipation of the slaves, and that the real credit was the Garrett, Phillips, Lovejoy, and others who had molded and shaped the sentiment at great odds and sacrifice against the institution of slavery and its cruelties. At this juncture Dr. L. J. Delarte redesigned effectively a baritone solo. Mrs. Gordon's Address. Mrs. Mary Gordon, matron of the Howard Orphan Asylum, gave a splendid talk on the lives of the two great statesmen. She said among other things, "I am glad to see that our people are recognizing worth and what it takes to make history. We all know of the time in which these men lived, and the strenuous efforts they put forth in behalf of the cause of freedom. I believe Lincoln was a broad and conservative man and was bitterly opposed to slavery. The foremost thing in Lincoln's mind was the salvation of the Union. He was opposed to slavery entering the territories, and wherever he could hit slavery a blow he did. He was a great instrument in God's hands. Douglass labored as Lincoln could not, because he PRICE, 5 CENTS had known and experienced the tortures of slavery. We must teach the rising generations to seek out the good qualities in a person's life and not always search for the flaws or bad qualities." Miss Bailey gave a soprano solo, after which Mrs. S. J. S. Garnett, national organizer of the Equal Suffrage League, asked for the appointment of a committee to draw up a petition and obtain signatures to present to the Congressmen of Brooklyn urging them to use their influence in bringing about such necessary enactment as will enforce the Fifteenth Amendment. The committee is as follows: Mrs. S. J. S. Garnett, Mrs. L. C. Smith and Miss Eato. Mrs. L. C. Smith read an original letter from Doughlass which was written on the twentieth anniversary of the emancipation proclamation. Hughes League Meeting. Hughes League Meeting. A large number of colored citizens and voters from the different assembly districts of Kings county assembled last Thursday evening in the assembly rooms of the Young Men's Republican Club of Brooklyn. The meeting was given under the auspices of the Hughes Colored Republican League, of which Frank H. Gilbert is president and W. Preston Moore secretary. Speeches were made by a number of representative colored Republicans. The speakers contrasted the attitude of Secretary Taft and Governor Hughes upon the question, of equality of all citizens before the law. They charged the Secretary with condoning the disfranchisement of the colored citizens of the South and the violation of their constitutional rights. One speaker said: "As a loyal Republican I should deplore the fact if the thousands of colored voters took Secretary Taft's advice as he stated in a speech in Alabama, in which he said they will be better off if they divide their Resolutions Adopted. The meeting adopted a strong set of resolutions, of which the following is a part: "Representing the sentiment of the vast colored electorate of the country, we would deplore the selection of territory Taft as Republican nominee, because aside from his participation in the Brownsville incident, he of all the candidates named thus far on the Republican side is the only one who has apologized for the great war amendments to the constitution that represents the high water mark of Republican statemanship, as he did in his Greensboro, S. C., speech, condoning the disfranchisement of black American citizens. "That we heartily endorse for the Republican nomination for the Presidency Hon. Charles E. Hughes, who by his fearless enforcement of the law, his broad statesmanship and lofty conception of public duty, has impressed itself upon the brain and conscience of the country as the typical representative of the best thought of the day and the most advanced standards of our advancing civilization." W. R. Lawton writes interestingly of the political leaders of Kings county and their promises. He says: "While there is no excuse for local political leader not keeping their promises to their colored constituents it is a fact that when the positions to be distributed are not enough to satisfy the demand, only those who keep up a strong and constant pressure are rewarded. The fellows who punch hardest and keep it up hardly ever fail to get consideration. Instead of sticking and increasing the pressure they have let up, forgetting their real local interests and going pell mell into national politics. "As citizens it is their duty to be as interested in national as well as local politics, but there is more to lose locally, just now, than can be gained by running after national phantoms. "As to national politics, everything is bazy and in the air, and the best thing they can do is to get together, watch their opportunity, and cast a unit vote in their interest: to be delegates, alternates from Congressional districts, in which their vote is a factor, to the national convention, and see that men are expected to represent the district in the next Congress who will show in a substantial way their interest in their colored constituents. There is nothing of importance as to national politics they can do now but to unify their vote. Much can be gained by showing the local machine that they must make good. It is of us to press and the machine will only yield when it is applied strong and long enough." The Garnett Club's Hangout. The most elaborate testimonial in commemoration of Lincoln's birthday was the dinner given last Wednesday evening by the Garnett Club at the clubhouse, 388 Bridge street. The parlorers were tastefully decorated with the American flag, while a life size picture of the great emancipator was conspicuously displayed. Resolutions endorsing the candidacy of Governor Hughes for the Presidential nomination were presented, but on account of divided sentiment were not approved. Covers were laid for seventy-five and a most splendid menu served by Caterc Trice. John H. Dickerson was toast master. The following is a list of the speakers and their subjects: Augustus Hodges, "Our Journalists"; Frank H. Gilbert, "Our Business Men;" COE Re ge re Ee rie ee a SR CRG: SUNN i: I ok.

J. Staf ford, but he had been kept so contin. uously basy in Washington during the week that he was compelled to make en. fagements for Sunday in Baltimore. “At best,” he said, “I can attend but unsatisfactorily to. my private business and home duties as matters stand now, but next year I'may have more time t give to Baltinore and such matters of public interest as, for example, the suf- frage—or, rather, anti-suffrage—amend. ment.” “Mr. Bonaparte,” he was asked. “dc ‘you not think it would be a good thing for Maryland to have the eternal Negre question settled once and for all?” “An excellent thing.” replied the At torney General, “but’ this. amendment wouldn't settle it. There are questions which are never ‘settled until they ar- settled right, and this is one of them. A. settlement. which involves injustice, disloyalty to the Constitution ane trifling with the sanctity of others is, to my mind, Quite sure to prove no settlement ai all.” "You speak: of ‘disloyalty to the Cun- stitution.” “How can it be said fairly that the amendment is unconstitutional until the Supreme Court has so declared it?” “That, sugmestion,” said the Attorney General; “seems to me about equivalent to saying Cain wasn't a murderer be- cause he was never indicted by a grand jury, convicted by x petit jury or sen tenced by a human judge. The Constitu- tion says. Negroes shall not be denied the suffrage because they are Negroes, and this is precisely what this amendment is intended to do.” ncbtt Me, Bonarare, it is not because they are 4 ause they are ignorant and venal that they should be disfranchised.” - “Then,” answered Mr. Bonaparte, “let those good citizens advocate the distran- chisement of ignorant and venal white men also, and I will believe them at least sincere. If a man. sellf his Yote or doesn't know how to cast it for the pub- ic good, the color of his skin or the fact that his grandfather either had. vote or hadn't can make no possible dif- ference” : “Do you think the amendment would, in fact, climinate an undesirable element from cach of the two great. parties? Would not the Republicans probably gain white votes ifthe g¥eat bulle of the Negroes were no longer voters? “T fail to sec.” replied the Attorney General, “any change for -the better, oF. deed, “any change at all, which’ its sdoption would make in:the compos tion, urposes or methods of the Democratic arty in Macyland. As for the Republi- an party, the question, to: my mind, is 10t whether it may gain a few votes here oF lose many votes there.

"DONNELLY, 1 fed 3354 Reoddway, cormer of 131 % ance - As the Chief Pastor of the A. M. E. A. M. E. Zion and C. M. E. Churches, assembled in the City of Washington, District of Columbia, United States of America, we send our sincere apologies is particular and/ the race in general. We, first of all, desire to render thanks to Almighty God for having preserved us in the midst of racial opposition for about 800 years, and to the fact that we have been enabled to achieve. We congratulate the race upon the religious, moral, intellectual and financial advancement that has been made, in spite of great difficulties and felicitas course in the church, in progress in the churches, our schools, our numerous homes and other institutions. We are thankful to the friends, North, South, East and West, who have aided us in stage of advancement. We congratulate ourselves upon this great religious movement which has brought us together. One is reminded of the religious convocations over centuries, the early convocations of the Christian Church, councils in which Clement of Alexandria, Irenius, Jerome, Oregin, Cyprian, Augustine, Tertullian and the early fathers sat; great men, pious men; the great women; the great church of the Christian church, so far as its doctrine and its ecclesiastical policy was concerned. We, too, are shaping the destiny of the great American church which has been the most influential which the world has ever seen. America will only be the home of this great church, but Africa is to be the scene of its greatest operations. May, the good Lord help us to realize our responsibility and our duty to this future We hall with delight the tidal wave of temperance now sweeping over the country and feel assured that our own beneficiaries and promoters. We heartily commend all efforts being made to rid our common country of the run traffic, and we pledge this right of movement to urge our people to urge our people, especially those who are qualified to vote, to give the cause their united support until this evil is driven from the land. We are represented, we advise that in public and private places and in common carriers our people so deport themselves as becoming good citizens to the end that public interest may be created in our interest. Racial Matters. We are citizens of the United States under the supreme law of the land, entitled as much to equality of civil and political rights as to the right to the law. We have therefore, rights, sacred rights under the constitution of our common country, such as the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The same, no matter what the law may be, must be a voice in the government, state and national, externally as other citizens enjoy. We do not ask at your hands any questions to this Christian nation in nothing to which we are not entitled under the law and constitution. We ask only for, that which belongs to us as right, for justice, for equality of freedom of action and the industrial life of the land, North and South alike. We ask for fair treatment, that we may, like other races, make the most and best of ourselves; that we may rise or fall on our merit like other men in the political and industrial life of the Republic. We cannot do this unless we and our children are given equal opportunity with other people to get an education at the public expense, unless we are given equal chance to obtain work with all other laboring classes in the industrial system of the nation. These things are only necessary to the best good of our common country as well; for be it forever born in mind by all, white and black alike, that the freest and most intelligent labor is the most productive of all, that we are the family that a nation is in an industrial Republic; like ones, deprived of the right to vote or a voice in the government is at the mercy of other laboring classes which possess that right and that that which possess the mercy of all thus privileged. Now, locally as the race as a labor class, we the ballot, need education at the public expense, needs industrial opportunities to sell our labor freely like the labor of the business in the South. By one device or another it is almost universally deprived of the right to vote. In many cases our children are deprived privileges, and the whole race in the North and South is deprived of employment to obtain work with other labor classes. We recall the fact that wherever this also turns that it is restricted within certain narrow limits by the "Color Line." It is "thus far" in the North, and "thus far" in the South. In the hours North and South alike. This Christian Republican not with safety look on with this state of affairs. The records—any Christian are opposed to the earn appraisal are told that we are denying in eve infant race. If true. then we should be treated as the stronger should treat the weaker, and the mother the infant. Indeed, the strong should bear the infirmities of the weaker. We appeal to the friends of humanity to use their influence to rid this glorious country of mob violence, which is sending so many to an untimely grave. We appeal to all who believe in fair play to maintain our land's progeny and convict labor systems, which are degrading and destroying the very vertue of manhood and relegating them to the most galling serfdom. We appeal to the liberty-loving men in authority to lend us their assistance by influence, by legislation for the removal of the "Jim Crow" car laws, which have placed a stipulation upon the noblest and most unjustifiable of the church to the humblest, while at the same time we are required to pay the same fare for inferior accommodation. We appeal to the judges of the Supreme Court to annual laws in violation of the Federal Constitution, to members of the several Southern States where disfranchisement laws have been enacted, and to the Congress of the United States to repeal the amendments where disfranchisement laws have been enacted to us by the Federal Constitution, which were gained upon the field of conquest by blood shed by black men as well as white men. We appeal to the people, we finally appeal for all the rights guaranteed to the citizens of this great Republic. Sigred-Bishop J. W. Hood, Bishop T. H. Lomax, Bishop C. R. Harris, Bishop K. S.

During the afternoon Bishop Derrick, who has just returned from Africa, spoke informingly of the improved conditions in the Irish Continent since the arrival of the British. He travelled 1,000 miles into the interior, carrying the Message to the heathen, and it was encouraging to the last degree to poke the eagerness with which they listened. No longer is it difficult to believe that the Methodist Church in South Africa, and the next quadriminium promises phenomenal results in the upbuilding of the cause of Christ. Welcomed by the Nation's Capital Away at the special ordinance was the representation of the people of the Central was beauty and spontaneity. The meeting was presided over by Dr. E. W.

All of the speakers received ovations at the hands of the audience, and the session closed with a magnificent grand finale. Alexander Walker, augmented to 100 voices, under the direction of Prof. John T. Layton. On Tuesday evening the reception was continued, and elephant and apotropaic responses to the address of Alexander Walker, who spoke fiercely of the mission of the body to inspire in the race an intense determination to regain the boiler in the South where we have been robbed of our rights and subjugated to oppression. Alexander Walker, known the cognitively intelligent conservationist, recognized that politics had crept into a meeting which was held primarily to consider religious matters, but though these matters were powerful to stay the table of fooling cooked by the stories of the good women, and the others that were up at the crenation of the names of those involved in the masses as their true victim. Bishop Elise Cottle of Mississippi described the construction work that the Negroes are doing for theiratives down in its system, calling attention to the need for the representation tell which threatened to close the normal school at Holly Springs and turn out 200 ambitions students at the Negroes get together and purchased 100 acres land and hired 100 students. Now 400 students are being accommodated and the institution is on a better footing than ever before. He stated that there are down banks in the state of Mississippi and that it did not share the bitterness of some of his bothers against President Roosevelt. He felt that the President had been misled and that he had done so many wrongs that it had created an equitable adjustment of the Brownville matter would yet come. He stood for all the rights of his people, but wished to temper emotion with safety. Bishop Waller, and Bishop Grant, both of the Southern Baptist church, shamelessly discriminates, practiced against educated and retired colored people on the railroads of the South. Bishop Waller declared that the Negroes will support any party, regardless of many of the Southern Baptist churches. Other storing addresses were made by Bishop Essex Tynes, C. H Phillips and G. W. Clinton and by Rev. R. H. W. Leate of North Carolina all expressive of his views on the Negroes' method of obtaining the Negroes' reward for him onward and upward. Bishop Turner Preaches Self-Helpful press On Friday morning the trend of debate was made on the same tender of Thursday evening. Bishop Chishua, Chief Justice T. Jeffery, the Chief Justice and Tanner commanding the utterances of their associates on the questions involving human rights, saying that neither God nor man had any respect to aeward Bishop Turner and those signatories to the petition. He pressed with this outcome. It means everything good for the race. The key leadership of the people is concentrated here its spirit, its military courage and its spirit. The nation must not take any part in politics, but I am an American citizen, and I am delighted to see our people at last speaking out against political oppression so long dependent on God and I have no complaint to make but we are making God to do things that he has given its power to do for ourselves. When the American people have rightly earned the bishop said, "This is an ungrateful nation. We have been loyal to it since we landed in 1919. We have supported it in every conflict and have given our blood for it yet we have rightly earned. God will yet restore our wrongs with the law and justice." 500 Active., Reliable Agents at Liberal Commissions 10,000 Subscribers Negroes to advertise their business AGE PUBLISHING CO., m Square, New York azine and The Age $2.00 the year portments of 3 and 4 rooms at $8, 113, $15 per month near West End Avenue.

BRANIC, Superintendent. E Next Week The day was taken up in discussing basis for federation of the three churches and progress was made by the committee on charge of the several propositions. In the meeting Bohun Bohun presided over the public session, and on gratitude and pleasure over the prospect for peace unity. Among the speakers were Rev. H. J. Callis, of Boston, and Rev. L. E. Crouthers, pastor of Galenith A. M. E. Zoon Church, of this city. It was ordered that 10000 copies of the address be printed and circulated broadcast among members of Congress of state legislatures, to leaders of both sides in all sections of the country, to the officers of the federal government, to the President and the cabinet. During the session of the main body numerous subsidiary meetings were held, the results being along the same line. As this result the three conventions are deliberating on the basis of federation to be submitted to their general conventions, and it is thought that an amicable agreement will be reached. The bishops the masses have attended the three conventions and arrangements have made looking to making the tentative organization permanent, with the hope that the churches will see the benefit to be received from such a federation on the behalf of the national capital. In addition the bishops the masses and prominent ministers and lawmen of the three churches. Some of the candidates for responsible ties to be drawn out of the coming elections.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 17.—Musical Fund Hall was comfortably filled last Wednesday evening to hear noted orators eulogize Lincoln under the auspices of the Constitutional League. Congressman Bingham was to preside, but owing to other engagements he was unable to appear, so Dr. William A. Sinclair, president of the Pennsylvania Division, introduced ex-Congressman George H. White as chairman of the meeting. He delivered an eloquent tribute to the memory of Lincoln, after which he introduced T. Thomas Fortune, of New York, who referred to Lincoln as the embodiment of the spirit of liberty, and then went on to say that there were not enough Roosevelts in the country to drown out the spirit of liberty, nor to put aside the great work which Senator Foraker had done for the Negro soldier. The next speaker, Rev. Reverdy C. Ranso, of New York, went even further than Mr. Fortune in his denunciation of President Roosevelt. He said that he had no sympathy with those who advised the Negro to keep out of politics, and would sooner surpass his pulpit than give up his political convictions. "For my part," he continued, "I advise my people to oppose the present dictator at Washington, and if Roosevelt or any one he dictates is put on the ticket I shall not hostage to bolt it. Starvation stands at the door of every poor man to day as a result of the Roosevelt policies, and it could be no better at all were in his power." Rev. J. M. Thiemann and Rev. John Palmer reiterated the charges made by the previous speaker, while every attention to Senator Borsak was instantly applauded. Resolutions adopted by the meeting declared that the Itawas still incident was a disgrace to free people and that the Negro legislature discharged without trial should be ordered with full salary for the entire Senator Borsakaker was highly commended for his age in relating the Administration and demanding a trial trial for the accused soldiers. Wharton Borsak, Poe was one of the last speaker and entertained the audience with some personal impressions of Lincoln. Patricia songs were joined in spiritfully by the audience under the leadership of E. F. Moore.

Atkins, grand exalted ruler, Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, and the cashier of the Fraternal Order Galileen Fishermen 'Consolidated Bank of Hampton, Virginia, at a recent meeting of the board of directors, made an exhaustive report of the business done since the meeting of the Grand Lodge last August, which was very encouraging in that it showed that the recent financial panic had not in the slightest degree effected the financial equilibrium of this fraternal institution, and in support of this he produced figures to show that the bank during the past six months had done a greater volume of business than during any previous six months since its establishment. This is remarkable when we take into consideration the unsettled condition of things financial during the past five months throughout the entire country. The Fishermen's Bank has made wonderful strides during trying circumstances and her existence to day is due to the fact that it is a tangible necessity in the race's economic equation, and not by any means due to the fact that it has received the united support or candid encouragement of the masses of Hampton's leading African-American business men or the fraternal order in every particular. It is due to the faith, the dogged integrity and persistence of two brave men, Rev. Dr. T. H Shorts, its under and most enthusiastic fosterer, and Dr. William E. Atkins, its permanent cashier, whose foreight saw that it was an absolute necessity. The bank is a necessity and should receive the unrestricted support of every leading worthy African-American and the informal order in particular. The local directors should to declare a dividend on all stock and savings accrued the last part of this month. for her Akens, through his eminent leadership and practical business in the hills, has increased our lodges from in the preserve lodges, such as the Brook Lodge, which spoke volumes of both her elected informally to lead in treatments on the cancer and along in the areas of Native American activities in America. ```markdown ``` The New York Times, December 19, 1915.

Doc 12-3mos Makes Brilliant Address to Local Business People An Opportunity to Hear Dr. Washington Must Not Be Avoided--His Visit to the Orphanage Home of Amanda Smith at Harvey. CHICAGO, Feb. 17.—Dr. Booker T. Washington has been largely and helpfully in evidence in Chicago during the past week. He first arrived in the city on Sunday morning, February 9, en route to St. Paul, Minneapolis an' dDubuque, Iowa. He had a busy day. A large number of prominent people called at the Palmer House to pay their respects to the great educator as soon as it was learned that he was in the city. In the afternoon of that day, accompanied by a few personal friends, he made a visit to Harvey, Ill., for the purpose of paying his respects to Amanda Smith, the noted evangelist, and inspecting the institution founded by her for the care and training of orphans and homeless children. This visit and show of interest in Mrs. Smith and her work was a most gracious act on the part of Dr. Washington, and will be long remembered as one of the most interesting and perhaps most important event in the history of this worthy institution. Dr. Washington's second appearance, in our city was on the 11th inst., when he came to address the business men and women under the auspices of the local branch of the Negro Business League. The interest in the founder of Tuskegee is so widespread and sincere that any occasion becomes important of which he is a part. Dr. Washington has delivered at least one address every year in this city for the past ten years. The eagerness to hear him to-day by all classes of citizens is quite as intense as on the first occasion. Those who have studied the man and his work easily understand how this strong interest in him is sustained. The reason people are still so anxious to see and hear him is because in soul and mind he grows with the growing and expanding age in which we live. He keeps abreast of the fast moving history that is in the making. He cherished a deep and abiding faith in his race that, until recently, had but little to be proud of. His knowledge of the forces that are making for or against the progress of his people is practical, thorough and plausible, and not merely academic. He talks of things that he knows and tools. He is not envious of other people's achievements. He gladly co-operates with anybody or anything that means advancement for his race. His strength has in it the elements of success faith and sympathy. He is instantly ready to serve any good cause that is brought to his knowledge. The man in business the teacher, the church, the charity, the cause of citizenship rights and the whole range of large and small interests that make up our progressive life. It is because he lives so much and so completely for others and for the times in which he lives that interest in what he has to say always and everywhere commands instant and unabated attention, it is not surprising, then, that on Friday night when he rose to speak in Bethel Church he faced a large and eager company of listeners from all walks of life. The address was delivered under the auspices of the local Negro Business League. To say that Dr. Washington was at his best on this occasion does not mean that he is not always at his best. Probably 90 per cent of the vast audience had heard him before and perhaps many times before. There seems to have grown up among the people what for a better phrase might be designated as the "Booker T. Washington Jailer." I have an opportunity to hear him and not to hea rhim must not happen. So everybody comes and hangs the wrist as from some great oracle. It is a splendid tribute to the man, and helpfulness that people cannot hear him too often. Your correspondent is admirable to say that his last address was his best. Whether it was or not the manifestation of interest and appreciation on the part of the people took all forms of expression, applause, laughter, tears and hand clapping. It was certainly a noble appeal and commitment to the heart and head of that vast acre of the low citizen. Disdain of those self-help self- trust, appreciation of civil and political rights, united effort to accomplish big things, were one and all tributed in the creator's best manner of statement. The relationship between and since and speaker was clear and sympathetic. It is so felt that Dr. Washington's address will go on until the local League of the city. His organization needed the stimulating effect of Dr. Washington's presence and stirring address. The following members of the League were largely responsible for the success of the meeting: President Sadly W. Trier; treasurer, J. Harris; secretary, W. J. Hicks, Dr A J. Caye, Geo Faulkner, S. Lasing Williams, Alex Stevens, H. Thomas Calloway, E. M. Blackwell and George W. Henderson. Among the visitors from other cities to the Chicago big meeting were Messrs. Knox and Meaning from Indianapolis, both prominent members of the Business League of that city, and Rev Mr. Bond of Nashville, Tennessee. THE BELLMEN'S RECEPTION Two Thousand Attend Twelfth Annual Winter Reception. The forty-fourth annual reception of Hotel Bellman's Beneficial Association, which took place on Grand Central Palms on Wednesday evening. Fellowship 12 can be numbered among the best entertainments ever given by this popular organization. The gathering was not so large as in former years. There were about two thousand people present who attended with excitement the spirit of the station and and a delightful time. There was a fine display of beautiful gowns in the boxes and on the floor. There was not the crowd of guests in the boxes as of yore, and there was holding the constant pop of the champagne cock for which the Bellman's reception have been famous, yet the good music furnished by the orchestra of Prof. Walter THE NEW YORK TIMES F. Craig and Miss Halle Anderson, which paid alternately a program of forty dances, was enough to enliven the spirits of everybody. The floor was under the able management of Mr. Harry Knight. At one o'clock the grand march of the association took place. President W. O. Murphy led the march, which was finely executed and elicited much applause. After the march dancing was resumed till early morn. The occupants of the boxes were: Box 1. President and Mrs. W. O. Murphy, Miss M. O. Murphy, Mr. and Mrs. W. A.

JOHNSON 'SPEAK AT GRACE CHURCH (Continued from page .) A large number of the members of the West India Benevolent Association, also of the British Colonial Society, visited Mr. J. E. Schmidt on the evening of February 12. Wednesday last, in a body, to tender to him their esteem on the 72d year of his birthday, which occurred on January 4. He was presented with some groceries and a purse contributed also by some friends, for which he returns his sincere thanks with best wishes to all. The Ianthia Reception. The twelfth annual reception of the Lanthia Wheelchmen was held at Palm Garden on the evening of Thursday, Feb. 13, and was well attended by an unusual number of their friends. A most pleasant evening was spent in dancing to most excellent music furnished by Prof. Walter F. Craig's orchestra. The grand march was a pretty sight, the members of the club appearing in full Evening dress. The music for the grand march was "Lanthia," a composition of Prof. W. H. Tyers, which was dedicated to the club at last year's reception. His latest success, "Maori," introduced upon the occasion of this ball was well received and is a most catching piece of music. It is a two-step, and was enthusiastically applauded. The reception committee was: T. VERNON Lecture in America" M. E.

At the indoor games of Columbia College, held at Madison Square Garden last Saturday evening, John B. Taylor, of Philadelphia, had little trouble in winning the 600 yard special race, time 1:16.5, which is more than two second short of the Garden record, for the distance. Reason was the second man, and Sedley third. Taylor set his own pace throughout the race and was never really headed, winning by about three feet. He was unable to compete in the two mile college relay with his team from the University of Pennsylvania, owing to illness.
