The New York Age NEGRO FARMER NOT A MENACE Objects to Establishment of Jim Crow Communities and Says Negro-Farmer Does Not Depreciate Land Values CONDITIONS ON THE FARM Negro Sections in Cities Are Neglected by White Property Owners and Better Class of Negroes Seek Better Living Conditios—Different in Country. Farm segregation is strongly opposed by W. D. Weatherly, a Southern white man, the Southern field secretary of the international committee, Y. M. C. A., who sees in the proposition to segregate the Negro farmer a deliberate shifung of the responsibility of helping the Negro by Southern white men. Mr. Weatherly has prepared an article, the exclusive use of the Survey Press Society in an association whose purpose is to learn and interpret the facts of working and living conditions and to promote intelligent effort for social advance. In this article is set forth strong opposition to the establishment of Jim Crow communities. Statistics are quoted to show that in the rural sections of the South the Negro farmer is not depreciating the value of farm lands nor is he a manace to social life. Mr. Weatherly is optimistic that the South is in the South its duty and deal fairly with the colored neighbor, thus really solving the problem. ```markdown ``` The question of segregation in the cities is not dwelt upon at any length in the article, but in referring to it Mr. Weatherly declares that the true reason why Negroes seek to buy homes in the white section is because they want to live in a community where the controlling people will see that decency and respect are being made that white communities neglect the sections in which the Negroes live, and allows all kinds of vice and crime to pile up about the Negro homes. The Problem of the Races. The article prepared by Mr. Weatherly is as follows: "There is a very definite move in the South at the present hour for the Negroes in the cities, on the cities and in country communities. "This article does not mean to deal with the question of the segregation of races in the cities, a question on which both for and against said both for and against. The white owner in a city block rises up to demolition protection. When Negroes have robbed the prices of land and the values of his house; on the other hand, the prices of housing for neglecting sections in which Negroes live and for allowing all types of violence to pile themselves on the city house. The truth is that most of the Negroes in the cities who seek to buy land and build homes in the white city are to live among white people as white people, but because they prefer to live in a community where the controlling order is that decency and order are maintained." Color Line Proposed. Negro Farm Neighbors. "As to the Negroes being an unassatisfactory inborn; there is a vast difference between the rural community and the city community. One farmer in my sense socially affected by those who are my sense affected but that this is the fact comes from the testimony of large numbers of farmers, whom I have talked and seen so I have corresponded, saying that they are not at all object to that." asked if the land values in that particular community were rising or collapsing and fourth. I asked if the fact that Negroes were buying land had anything to do with this rise or fall in land values. "In answer to the first question there were a large number of agents who replied that the Negroes were buying land, regard to the second question, a great majority of the demotion agents answered that there was no opposition whatever in their communities. Rise in Land Values. "In the third place, I found that 'in almost all of the farm communities places were the Negroes were buying land rapidly land values were still high, so I kept the fourth question, most of the 'demand agents answered that they did not think it made any particular differ-ence between the Negroes were buying land or not." "The question of the support of school and church in the rural community is a pressing one, and perhaps this regard the advocates of the school communities have one of their best arguments. If counties were solidly Negro or white, it would, of course, be possible to have unified schools and a much smaller number of schools. But the schools are not the school, and of the white school gas well, is being gradually solved by the consolidated school movement, which takes the children from a sparsely settled section into the neighboring community, and a number as well as increasing the efficiency of the schools now in existence. Reasons Against Segregation. "It seems to me to that any movement for segregation would 'certainly have some of all of the following serious business'." "First, The Negro be discriminated against in the country, would be prone to move at once to the 'city', a burden and a probably both a burden and a burden. The city comes his undoing in most cases, and he is seriously in danger of becoming a criminal as he drifts into the segregation of the country. The Negro is a much greater economic asset, he is a larger influence for good citizenship, he is a better neighbor in the country than he is in the city. Second, Such a segregation of the races would soon mean a lack of proper labor supply in many country communities. This would be outcome is sensed by the big plantation owners, most of whom are, as I understand it, decidedly opposed to the question of segregation. A satisfactory 'supplier' of foreigners to take the place of the Negro, we ask seriously whether it would relieve us of an embarrassment or whether it would be a blessing. Though many Negroes are inefficient, they nevertheless have a homogeneity, a common national pride, a common religion and a common language, the white people who surreptitiously fund them. Race Antagonism. Fifth. But let us grant that it could be worked out peaceably and amicably to the advancement and to the Southland? The truth it that in those communities where the Negroes have brought in contact for many years with white people they have not developed, they should have done. If the Negro does not develop into an efficient farmer the whole South will be come. Hence, our segregation movement might easily result in destroying rather than helping the white minor, of which so much has been made. "In the sixth place, it seems to me that perhaps the most serious handicap of the movement would be the deliberate shifting of the burden of responsibility for the, uplift of the Negro from the shoulders of the Southern white Problem Defined. "The great problem of the South is, after all, not primarily an economic problem, but a problem of mankind. We of the South, who claim to be the most powerful and most race-onset in trials, "It is not the Negro today who is on trial, but the southern white man, and I say this as a southern white man. The question is not whether we are strong or weak, but whether we, the boasted white man, whether he is as intellectual, as strong as the white man, whether he is or ever will be as advanced as we, whether we, the boasted leaders of the South, will go deal with the Negro as to prove to the rest of the world that we are men with a brotherly spirit, worthy to be trusted with a great responsibility in the development of "My honest conviction is that the rising generation of southern whites some like you should be responsibleities laid upon their shoulders, and will deal fairly with the men in black by their side. They will be really solve our race problem." COMMITTEE BRINGS JIM, HOUSE Special: JIM, NEW JIM, YAMS WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 3.—The bill providing for Jim Crow cars on all public conveyances in the District of Columbia was presented in the House on Monday from the committee which had been considering it. The committee recommended that it The committee recommended that it be passed. Social Organizer, through its Judge Writes Strong Letter in Defense of The Liquor Dealers' Protective Association, and Gives some Facts. The Liquor Dealers' Protective Association, composed of the colored men in Greater New York engaged in conducting saloons and cafes, is holding regular meetings, and is maintaining a splendid spirit in the organization. By courtesy of the officials of the National League on Urban Conditions the association holds its meetings in the rooms of that organization, 2303 Seventh avenue. A commendable feature of the organization is that, the members have adopted a stringent set of rules and regulations, governing not only the employees but also the conduct and actions of patrons. Nothing objectionable or unseemly is allowed at any time. It is the aim of the men engaged in this business to conform to the law and to maintain a law-abiding atmosphere in their various places. The statement is made by them that if at any time a violation of the law is noticed in the conduct of their places they are only too glad to correct it when it is made to make the saloons and cafes pleasant and inviting places for the public. John W. Connor, president of the association, was asked to express his opinion concerning the present conditions of business, and especially as regards the efforts being made in certain quarters to saloon and cafe saloons and cafees conducted by Negroes in Harlem. He expressed surprise that there should be people in Harlem and elsewhere who are antagonistic to the colored saloons men. who are making every effort to get down to real saloons who mostly frequent saloons run by white men, would use their influence to bring their own and other trade to the saloons run by Negroes there would be an increased opportunity for men of the race to be of service and there would be an increased opportunity for employment. The leaders of criticism as a rule are of the class that never think of patronizing a colored saloon. Saloonmen Care Law Abiding. The liquor dealers point with pride to the fact that they have always been liberal contributors to every philanthropical movement brought to them for the benefit of the race, to all educational institutions and to the religious organizations, besides extending generosity belief to the poor of Harlem at all times, the law and believe that the violations of the law and believe that the law will the other business interests of the race, they should receive 95 per cent, of the races patronage instead of only 5 per cent, as at present. If there is any cause for criticism it is because of a lack of patronage from the people who are making the criticisms. The members of the organization have compiled with every suggestion made by the Committee of the organization and plans are now further by which all business interests in Harlem will be united in a proposition which will be of great help to all concerned. The Astoria Shart Set Court, an organization formed for the purpose of promoting good fellowship among its members, and to provide mutual help and support when needed, many of the members of which are employees of the Astoria Cafe. Barrow Wilkins, proprietor, has issued through the judge of its court a statement to the public, the text of which is partly as follows: "I am pleased to announce the filing from the 'Amsterdam News' issue of Friday, January 20. I wish to express my opinion publicly through your valuable help and to express my heartily well-wished to the esteemed co-owner." The Right Kind of Reformer. Pay $1,100 Weekly to Employees. Some have a mother to support and some have a wife, and perhaps children, who are not born in the same place. Barron Wilkins, proprietor of the Anatolian Cate, employs eighteen (18) colored peo- please with a letter, payroll of $220; Mr. John W. McKinney, proprietor of the Royal Cafe, employs two (2) colored people, Harry Grifflin, proprietor of the Crescent Cafe, employs seven (18) colored people, Harry Grifflin, proprietor of the Crescent Cafe, employs seven (18) colored people, Harry Grifflin, proprietor of the Colored Performers Social League, employs thirty-three (33) people, payroll of $4,150, a total of over $1,100 weekly pay, to colored people, thus helping some colored families to better meet their needs. These are the names of the kind that the "News" would have closed up. I know glad to nurture these among my friends, and believe they do many and many charities to the general public.

The event, is given to me, "Hope Day Nursery." Let the "News" ask any theatrical performer about color, in which colored people from New York and how readily Mr. Wilkins sent them, when asked to color.

An Act of Justice As an act of justice to the decent people of the country, the editors of the *News* do not know it, the two saloon proprietors were charged with running a disheurhouse. Now kind reader go to, he and rest easy in the thought that after all you you more, you are still decent. When the officers arrested the two proprietors they saw knowledge that the places were being run in an orderly way and the only charge held on was the selling of liquor after hours. I am willing to stake a new but that unpleasant claim behind this. I am not a member of the Liquor Beader's Association, therefore I am not in line to gain information of the children. I must have heard the empathy of the Amsterdam News if that paper will go so far children in order to be in an even scene with the proprietors of the Harlem club with the Amsterdam News for closing any questionable places. In Harlem you would really exist with them in President Howard is of Opinion that American Merchants Would Make Good Profit by Exchanging Food Products for Liberian Products. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 3—Liberia, according to a report of the Department of Commerce and Labor, is more than anxious to import food and other products from the United States in exchange for its staple products. It is willing to pay cash for sugar, milk and cheese, instead of processed meat more than 300 per cent, in price since the outbreak of the European war: Owing to war conditions, Liberia's trade with Germany and France has stopped and that with England crippled. That, means that many of the needed supplies which that country has hitherto lacked. English ships have brought small quantities of supplies, but have carried nothing away from Liberia but the mail. Rice and Fish on Hand. President D. E. Howard, of Liberia, in a recent letter to Dr. Ernest Lyon, the Liberian consul-general to the United States, pointed put that there were sufficient quantities of rice aid fresh fish on hand, but that other foods were needed, and that the Liberians were ready to pay a fair price for the same. He ventured the opinion that merchants in this country could satisfy供应品 by exclaining' commodities. Dr. George W. Buckner, the American minister and consul-general at Monrovia, has been urged to bring the possibilities of trade with Liberia to the attention of merchants of this country. Dr. Lyon has repeatedly brought to the attention of the State Department and the Department of Commerce and commerce with that country had for entertaining Americans. He also recommended that a ship be loaded with supplies and sent there. $50,000 FOR JEANES FUND FOR SCHOOL WORK The annual meeting of the Jeanes Fund was held at the rooms of the General Education Board on Saturday, January 30.

ASSAULTED BY WHITES FOR NOT GIVING UP SEAT Pursuing the New York Yankees SPEAK TO THE NEW YORK ACADEMY 2—J. R. Stewart, proprietor of the Pantastinator at 210 North Third street, was brutally assaulted by two white men, the Simpson brothers, on a street car. Stewart was seated, and when the Simpson's could not get any other rest they orphaned him. The Simpson's were arrested and the police court judge. Badly, after being assured by the newspaper reporters that he would not be criticised if he decided justly, fined the men $5 each, but suspended payment during good behavior. The police judge would be a much better judge in the homeless cat and dog department than in the police court. WOULD BUY CHURCH OCCUPIED BY WHITES Special to JOB NEWS, NY, Acct. PHILIP WELKER, Pa., 3-3 The African Methodist Church, East Haines street, Germantown, the Rev. J. T. Pletcher, pastor, is negotiating to purchase the property now occupied by the First Baptist Church, a white congregation. The white congregation has outgrown its present building and must seek new quarters. The offer made by the Negro Methodist is being considered. ASKED SOME QUESTIONS Because he was transferred, from the Griffin district as presiding elder in the Atlanta, conference of the A. M. E. Church, and assigned to the church at Forsyth, as pastor, the Rev. P. G. Simmons, D-D., trustee and member of the executive board of the Morris Brown University and president of the A. M. E. Ministers' Union, formerly living at 235 Irwin street, Atlanta, Ga., writes from Forsyth, Ga, to THE ACE, asking some pertinent questions of Bishop S. F. Slipper, who presides over the destinies of the conference of the A. M. E. Church referred to. Dr. Simmons gives as his reason for writing to THE ACE that the church papers are afraid to publish the facts concerning conditions in the A. M. E. Church. He declares that other presiding elders, transferred at the same time, are afraid to publish the facts, though their reports and characters were the same as his. He asks the question if his candidacy for the bishopric had anything to do with his demotion, and also wants to know if the fact that Dr. W. A. Fountain, who is a candidate for the same place, has anything to with the question of the widow of Morris Brown University and is said to be a cousin to Bishop Flipper. The following is the text of Dr. Simmons' letter: To the Editor of The Age: I desire to inform the A. M. E. Church how I have been treated by Bishop J. S. Flipper, of Georgia. The reason I write to you in beacons to publish the facts as they are in the A. M. E. Church. Why Was Simmons Demoted? I, like other presiding elders, was taken down off the Griffin district of the Atlanta Conference, transcribed, and stationed at this place, Forsty, Ga., while there are Drs. D. H. Porter, I. R. Fleming, I. G. Gliss and I. S. Hammond, who were treated to give them good reports. They all made good reports and their characters were passed, just as inine was. The general church desires that the pastor be transferred just at this time and not given a district as we given the other brethren. It is, because he is a candidate for cause Dr. W. A. Fountain, president of the Morris Brown University, is a candidate for the same position, and that Bishop Flipper has been assigned to monsor to Dr. Fountain, his cousin. I looks to those in and out of the A. M. E. Church that this good monsieur has for the other. This same P.G. Simmons has stood by Blahp Flipper for twenty-six years. He led in his election to the College. He worked for his election to the bishopric. He also worked to bring him to Georgia. He has stood by his administration. When the men of Georgia, are not pleased over their appointments and begin to talk about them, conferences and say he will climb the life out of such men and their wives. He is always saying he does not write letters to other people, that he have never had a daughter to give, birth to twins, the daughter having no lawful husband, the daughter going on in Georgia, Morrison University is in a financial hole. He borrowed $18,000 to build a boys' dormitory and he has not paid off the debt. Thibues are going from bad to worse. Let them speak out if these are not faces. I am responsibly, I. G. SIMMONS, Forays, Ga. TUSKEGEE GRADUATE SUCCEEDS IN FLORIDA Special to THE NEW AGE Tampa, Fla., Feb. 2.—The following editorial from the Tampa, Fla., Morning Tribune tells of the success of one of Tuskegee's graduates who is putting into everyday practice some of the things which he learned while in school: The Tribune has had occasion several times to refer to the good work that he has done in the Negroes of Marion County, which is the movement on the part of members of that race to set higher standards of usefulness for their people. At a recent meeting field in this city, under the auspices of the Afro-American Civic League, George H. Mays, Jr., one of the men who is leading in this work in Marion County, was the speaker of the Negroes of Tampa how they might join in the movement and do something for themselves. "Mays is a graduate of Tuskegee, taught in schools in the North and is now the head of a banking investment institution at Ocala, organized and managed by Negroes. He enjoys the confidence of the white citizens of Ocala and many of them have deposits in his bank. He is willing to strive for industrial independence, and it is due to him that the Negroes of Marion County have taken account of their opportunities and have begun to work toward better ends." ONLY COLORED WOMAN NEW ALAMY, Ind. Feb. 3, Mrs. Lucie Nichols, said to be the only colored woman honored with membership in the Grand Army of the Republic, told here last. Friday. She served with the Twenty-third Indian regiment as a nurse during the Civil War. She was elected to honorary membership in the G. A., R. and given a pension by the government. WASHINGTON; D. C., Feb. 3. In a statement issued February 1 by James B. Reynolds, secretary of the Republican National Committee, it is announced that states representing 290 votes in the Electoral College had approved the new plan of representation in the next Republican National Convention. This is some twenty-five more votes than are necessary under the conditions made by the national committee. The states that ratified the plan and the electoral votes they represent are as follows: Arkansas, 9; California, 13; Colorado, 6; Connecticut, 7; Idaho, 4; Illinois, 19; Indiana, 15; Maine, 6; Massachusetts, 8; Michigan, 16; New Jersey, 18; New York, 45; North Carolina, 12; Ohio, 24; Oklahoma, 10; Rhode Island, 6; South Carolina, 14; Tennessee, 11; Virginia, 8. The statement of Mr. Reynolds adds that several other States were in favor of the plan, but held no State convention during 1914. The plan will be put into effect when the committee meets to arrange for the next national convention. Some of the statements say that it was decided at a meeting of the committee in Washington in December, 1913, that the basis of representation should be changed if Republican State conventions in States representing a majority of the votes in the Electoral College, which would be equal to the amount the national convention should authorize the change. At that time the following resolution was passed: Provisions of the Plan. "Confident that the action of this committee, representing, as it does, the practically unanimous sentiment of the Republican voters of the various States, will be ratified and be made effective; Be it Resolved That this committee shall be entitled to the national convention, to be held in the year 1916, to nominate candidates for President and Vice-President, in accordance with the following basis of representation: "Een State shall be entitled in such convention to four delegates-at-large; Two additional delegates-at-large for each Representative-at-large in Congress or more additional Representatives in Congress under the apportionment made in accordance with the last census, but in which State no new Congressional district has been provided by law; One delegate from each Congressional district; "An additional delegate for each Congressional district in which the vote for any Republican elector in the State is or may be formed from the vote for Congress in 1914, shall have been not less than seven thousand five hundred (7,500); Provided, however, That the total number of delegates to which any State is entitled shall be chosen from the State at large if the law of the State in which the election occurs so prescribes; and Provided, further, That in the case of any State electing to the State at large, such State shall be entitled to as many delegates, elected at large, as though the State were divided into separate Congressional districts." Increase in Republican Vote. - The Republican party at the recent election polled 6,915,270 votes, the Democratic party 5,752,580 votes, and the Progressives 1,474,243 votes, according to Mr. Reynolds' statement. It is asserted that the figures were compiled from the official returns. The figures are based on the results of the election, and the congressional votes where the elections were held and in other States on the Congressional vote, so that the Republican National Committee believes they reflect the wishes of the voters on national issues. A comparison with the votes cast for the candidates for President in 1912, when the Democratic candidate received 6,915,270 votes, the Progressives 1,474,243 votes, and the Republican candidate 3,484,958, shows that in two years the Republican party jumped from last place into first. M. J. COMMITTEE OF 100 ACTS ON VICIOUS BILL Japan. Gov. N. J. Feb. 3.—The Committee of One Hundred, Dr. Geo. L. Cannon, president, has addressed a memorial to the United States Senate, protecting against the passage of a bill to prohibit intermarriages in the District of Columbia. The memorial was prepared by a committee consisting of the Rev. A. P. Miller, chairman, J. C. Gunn (A) Rs Mayor secretary, and Dr. Cannon, the president. The following is the text of the me The following is the text of the memoir: To the Senate of the United States, in Congress assembled: The undesigned citizens of the State of New Jersey, representing the Committee of, One Hundred...of, Hudson County, an association formed to promote the civic, moral, social and intellectual development of the Negro race, do respectfully offer the following petition, protesting against, the enfeachment of the act passed by the House on the 17th of January, 1710, and referred by your honorable body to the Committee on the District of Columbia, January 12, 1915, the object of which is:— "To prohibit the intermarriage of persons of the white and Negro races within the District of Columbia to declare such contracts of marriage null and void; to prohibit punishments for violations and attempts to violate its provisions." We object to the passage of this act for the following reasons: First. There exists no statistics or facts upon which to base an opinion that there is a tendency on the part of white persons to marry colored persons, or of colored to marry white, to tender the expedient to enact such a law, intermarriage between the two races being rare, not alone in the District of Columbia, but throughout the United States. The passage of this act by Congress would be construed by the stance of the Union as a model for similar discriminatory laws based on the racial distinctions trained by it, if such exist, are not declared there, but if it be urged as a necessary act to promote the solidarity and moral well-being of the white and the Negro as distinct races, we contend that this act is rendered unnecessary of the Negro race which discourages such marriages, and (b) by the barriers imposed by custom and environment which are sufficiently strong to make such marriages rare, and thus render unnecessary the artificial support of such laws. This law is opposed to the laws of nature which are the final arbiters in the marriage relation, and do not yield their authority to the flat of human law. Second. The effect of this act, should be a law, will be to take away the means of legal redress from any woman of the colored race who may be seduced into entering into unlawful relations with any member of the white race, and astigmatize her offspring. It would also prejudice handicap and courage bastardy. It smacks of the code of the slaveholder who held the women of our race as prey to his unholy lusts, cursing her own offspring with a propensity to immorality and vice. Third. It is opposed to the spirit and purpose of democratic institutions, which aim to promote justice in the social relations of the citizens through social rights to all, irrespective of race or condition. We take the occasion provided by this bill to protest to your august body and to the American people against the growing tendency of the times to give legal sanction and encouragement to the prevalent prejudice against the Negro race, in the unholy justice of this prejudice. We affirm that it is conceived in—that spirit of false pride of race, malice and hatred, which, rife in the world to-day, has plunged millions of men in mortal conflict, bathed peaceful fields in human blood, and desecrated the ancient seas, only to powerless to resist it, even as his ancestors were powerless, unassisted to overcome slavery. The dominant elements of the white population of the Southern States, from which this measure and similar measures before the Congress eliminate, have long since taken over to their courts, the laws of government in these states; they govern not alone twenty millions of whites, but nine millions of Negroes as well—govern them without their consent, and in violation of every principle of our National Constitution, they govern over their courts, the officials sworn to execute their laws, even the juries selected to try the accused, are without exception white, and are appointed, or nominated and elected to office, by methods which preclude the possibility of a man charged with the commission of crime, and yet, in the presence of all this power with its corresponding responsibility, the South is gripped in a vise of lawlessness and unarchy which it finds its impotent to check or control, that is ensured by the governors to the caprices of the mob, and the lives and honor of our brothers and sisters are less than the dumb cattle grazing upon its hills. Surely such a condition supplies a problem to tax the brain and character of the leaders of this nation to solve in accordance with the demands of justice. Have they time to plea Pelon upon Oss? Must they add wrong to wrong? Or is reason and judgment, humanity and justice so barely overthrown that men are important to call them again to their accustomed acota? We best to express the hope that your honorable body will reject this measure, and in doing so will emphasize an emphatic disapproval of all such measures, and thus give assurance to all citizens of the nation and adhere to the covenants written in the Constitution of our country. And your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray, etc. A. P. MILLER, Chairman, J. C. GUILLEM, Chairman, J. C. MAYO Secretary, GEO. E.

THE NEGRO FARMER A Paper That Helps People to Become Better Farmers is an Aid to the Church, the School and to the Secular and Religious Papers. It has been decided to publish at Tuskegee Institute Post Office. Every-Other-Week for the present, a national farm paper to be known as THE NEGRO FARMER. It will be published in the interest of Negro landowners, tenant farmers and of those who employ Negro labor. There is no other strictly farm newspaper in the world devoted to the interest of Negro farmers. Many of the white farm newspapers enjoy huge circulations and there is no reason why a farm paper in the interest of Negroes should not prove equally successful. In fact, occupying an exclusive field it should enjoy a success far beyond that of the usual farm publication. It is proposed to circulate this paper among the 2,000,000 black farmers of the United States. The paper will be eight pages, of about the size of "The Country Gentleman." The Tuskegee Institute has no financial interest or control over this new publication, but some of the active officers of the institute are interested in its success and believe that it will not only act as co-ordinator but will be skilful in backing by a strong organization and funds have been provided it advance to assure its publication. Those in active control at THE NEGRO FARMER have my entire confidence and good will. BOOKER T.

This statement raises the question as to whether Mr. SPINGARN is more interested in boosting a certain organization than in really securing justice to the colored people. It makes little difference what organization or what individuals worked for the defeat of the exclusion amendment to the Immigration bill, what we should rejoice over is that the colored people, working together, brought about the defeat of the bill. All conditions and all factions came together, and Mr. SPINGARN should be wise enough to see this and broad enough to acknowledge it. It does not do Mr. SPINGARN or his organization any good to be placed in the position that he seems bent upon placing it in. THE EMPTY DINNER PAIL. All signs indicate that the old unanswerable argument which has always arisen to confound and conflute all of the theories and practices of the Democratic party is looming up once more—the empty dinner pail. No theories can stand before such solid facts as closed factories, unemployed men, and bread lines. SOME COMPARISONS. The New York Independent gets the following interesting facts and figures from the Honolulu, Friend: "The records were looked up of the graduates for five years of the three largest Honolulu high schools and three grammar schools, 804 in all, of whom 251 were of American or North European parentage; 191 Chinese; 113 Japanese; 112 mixed white and Hawaiians; 77 Portuguese; 28 Hawaiians; 22 Chinese-Hawaiians, and 10 Koreans. Of the Japanese graduates 30.1 per cent, obtained the grade of A; or 90, on a scale of 100; of the Koreans, 30 per cent; of the Chinese 26.7; of the Chinese-Hawaiians 18.2; of the white Hawaiians 16; of the American and North European 13.2; of the Portuguese 11.7, and of the purge Hawaiians 10.7 per cent." These figures are very significant. It might be argued that in the semi-tropical and enervating climate of Honolulu the white students were not able to put forth their best efforts. Even if that is the case, it is also true that the Orientals showed that they not only have the mental capacity for taking in knowledge, but that they have the stamina necessary for acquiring it under conditions which made the task impossible for their white competitors. If an experiment of this sort were tried in the South on white and colored students it is quite likely that the results would be fully as astonishing and a great deal more embarrassing. Won't some member of the Senate or the House offer a resolution to gag the Negrophobes in Congress? One week, a bill is introduced to exclude absolutely from the country all immigrants of African descent, regardless of qualifications. The next week, a bill is introduced making the intermarriage of blacks and whites a crime. And, now, before we can recover from these two blows aimed at us, here comes the favorable return of a bill for the separation of the races on street cars and all other public conveyances in the District of Columbia. What can be the conception of public duty of these men who are the instigators of this tireless attack upon us? What can be the size of their souls? As small as their minds must be, can't they find some ther subject to occupy them? Can't they devote their meagre ability toward an effort to straighten out the mess into which the Democratic party has put the whole country? Or can't they, at least, sit still in Congress and listen to men who have something to offer for the general welfare of the nation, and then try to vote intelligently? Some man with a 22 calibre brain and a heart the size and softness of a hickory nut gets into Congress. He gets there because there is such a thing as race prejudice. Were it not for race prejudice this same man would be, at best, a $700 a year country lawyer. In Congress he finds himself entirely outclassed by men of breadth and depth; and he realizes that there is only one way by which he can attract publicity and convince the people back home that he is doing something to save the country, and that is by introducing some bill against the unoffending and long-suffering Negro. Perhaps he does not expect the bill to pass, but he feels that he has discharged his moral duty, and made a record which again entitles him to the votes of his patriotic constituency. The trouble with this breed of "statesmen" is that they were born more than fifty years too late; for it is more than fifty years since the occupation of slave driver and slave catcher went out of existence. If the brains and hearts of these men were right, they could not help but see and feel that the best interests of their communities lie in the fair- and humane consideration of the race question. They have a great opportunity. More than that, they have an awful responsibility; for largely upon what they now say and do depend the future peace, happiness and security of their own posterity. If these men cannot rise to a comprehension of the great general problems before the country; if they have nothing to contribute toward the great general welfare of the nation; then, for the love of Mike (pardon the slang), let them keep still.

There has been a generous response to the "Poetry Corner." Since its establishment we have received an amazing amount of verse. As was to be expected, a great part of this verse is crude and amateurish; nevertheless it serves to justify our belief as to the existence of a great deal of undiscovered and, for the most part, uncultivated poetic talent in the race. If the "Corner" is able to offer an opportunity for the encouragement and development of the natural talent of just one of its contributors, its purpose will be entirely fulfilled. We hope that those writers whose first contributions are not published in the "Poetry Corner" will not become discouraged, but that they will keep on trying until they reach what we consider to be the acceptable mark. We say to these writers—if you are really in earnest you will continue your efforts. Of course, if you are not, you'll get mad and say that we don't know good poetry when we see it. Well, we won't dispute you on that point; for it is sometimes difficult to tell when and why poetry is good; however, it is always easy to tell when and why it is bad. Even if it entails an empty "Corner" some weeks, we shall stick to our intention of keeping the standard for publication as high as possible, so that, eventually, to be published in the "Corner" will carry some distinction. This cannot be accomplished if we print everything sent in. We refer contributors to our article in "The Age" of January 7, 1915, and again urge the necessity of studying the English language, of reading the modern poets, and of possessing a good dictionary and a book of synonyms. If you wish to write Negro dialect poetry, study Dunbar, the great master of that form; but don't try merely to imitate him. As a collection of modern poetry, we again recommend Braithwaite's Anthology of Magazine Verse. Some contributors have sent us books and poems that have already been published; the "Corner" is established exclusively for original and unpublished verse. We cannot at present undertake the task of reviewing and criticizing poetry that has already been published; however, we are glad to receive it. Among the books received are "The Whistle Maker and Other Poems," by William Nanus Ricks; and "To-Day and Yistidy," by William E. Dancer. "HORSE SENSE" se." Whoever was it that had the as phrase. The phrase "horse sense" is use,laugh"; both express a fiction; both substantiated by facts. had, in proportion to his size, the sense of a formidable rival to man in the ma "Horse sense." Whoever was it that had the asinine_sense to originate such a phrase. The phrase "horse sense" is on a par, with the phrase "horse_laugh"; both express a fiction; both convey ideas which cannot be substantiated by facts. If a horse had, in proportion to his size, the sense of a fox terrier he would prove a formidable rival to man in the management and control of mundane affairs; but, the truth is, leaving size entirely out of consideration, he hasn't as much. A horse is an intellectual looking animal; that is in his favor, and at times he gives evidences of possessing intellect. But if we study those actions of his which seem to be prompted by reason we shall find that they are the result of habit and long drill; and, that he will continue performing them, even though, on occasions, they are unnecessary or a positive source of danger. A horse has only a glimmering of reason, no originality and no initiative. He will stand hitched to a tree, around which grows pool, green, succulent grass, which he wants very badly, but which he does not get because the rope by which he is tied has become caught, in a twig or a branch. He goes without the grass because he hasn't sense enough to back up two steps and release himself. He would stand there, with grass growing at his feet, and starve to death, if someone didn't come along and give the rope a flip and set him free. How can anyone maintain that the head of a horse contains matter of the least gravish tint, when one of them attached to a vehicle in which is the kind master he ought to love, will start at a small piece of paper in the road, run for a mile or two, smash the vehicle, injure his master and, perhaps, break his own neck. A horse has not the sense to know that he cannot go through a hard-wire fence without getting hurt. The horse strikes me as being the only animal that is proud of his clavery. Every other beast of burden is sad, or sullen when compelled to work; they all love freedom and independence. The some domestic animals. A house is a shelter and faithfully sheltered, with a thoughtful and dignified attitude toward those, but if the load exceeds his strength, or the distance his endurance, he will stop, and if he is then forced, he will kick, kick hard and affectively. Among domestic animals the most primitive sign of intelligence is affection, the recognition of their masters, a love for those who care for them. In dogs this trait is so highly developed that it often amounts to a friendship and comradeship that is remarkable. Many dogs that have been taken away have trudged weary miles in order to get back to their old homes and masters; and there are well authenticated instances of some who have died heartbroken on account of being separated from those whom they loved. But this trait seems to be almost entirely lacking in horses; one master seems to suit them as well as another. Taken all together, the horse is a sleek, handsome, powerful animal having habits which, at times, mislead one to attribute to him great intelligence. But, perhaps, after all the man who originated the phrase "horse sense" was a humorist who had the misfortune to be taken seriously. He may have applied the term to a class of men who really have horse sense, and in some unaccountable way the misconstrued and twisted meaning gained general currency. From this point of view the phrase has direct and forcible applications; for there are many who have just horse sense. There are fine, handsome, intelligent-looking men who perform certain duties with evidences of reason, judgment and forethought, but who, on investigation and trial, will be found to be mere slaves of routine and habit. Under changed conditions or in exigency, they would be absolutely at a loss. Men who have no originality, no initiative. Men who, though the green grass they wanted grew to their knees, would be unable to get it unless someone came along and took the kinks out of the hitching rope. And, too, there are men seemingly sound and balanced who will start at the piece of paper, in the road. Let them encounter some slight discouragement, some reverse or sorrow; or it may be some sudden good fortune or advancement, and they will run amuck, break the harness, smash the vehicle, injure themselves, and perhaps others. Then there are men who have the most, and the most characteristic, horse sense. They are those who are ordinary, well-behaved citizens until trappings are put on them. As soon as they are arrayed in some uniform or regalia they begin to prance. The former meek man is transformed into a pompous, self-important personage. These men, in trappings, will do things which, otherwise, would not enter their minds. Under a burning sun with aching head and feet they will march ten or twelve miles in a parade of the Sons of Something or Other. Or they will sit with eyes front for four or five hours in a hard saddle, straining arms and legs trying to stay on a horse, knowing from a former experience that for a week they will not be able to walk or sit down with comfort. These are the men in whom horse sense as developed in the highest degree. Don't be content with having just horse sense.

We say confidently to Mr. workmen equal opportunity he will that goes into a Ford automobile. We also feel inclined to suggest the sake of his own reputation, he to economic and industrial question. Last week we presented Henry Ford to our readers as a great captain of industry and a man of broad sympathies. In this role, Mr. Ford has attracted the attention and gained the approval of the world. It is a role in which he shines. His views on industrial questions have filled the newspapers. We see this week that Mr. Ford is not free from that common human failing of not knowing when to stop talking. Misled, perhaps, by the attention given to his economic opinions, Mr. Ford has allowed some reporter to lure him into expressing for the public his views on religion, on a future existence, and other metaphysical subjects—and, incidentally, on the Negro. The interview states that after Mr. Ford expressed his certainty of a hereafter—as if his certainty carried any weight on such a question—he went on to say: Maybe there will be a superman. If we came up from the lower animals as Darwin said, why shouldn't something come up from us? Take the Negro, for instance, he is a developing race. He may go up and up. We have a number in our plant, but not doing specialized work. The Negro's skull is all in one piece. He is made differently from a white man. We could train them, but they fit in at smaller tasks. It can be seen that Mr. Ford is not so much at home in evolution and anthropology as he is in economics and industries. We are glad to learn that he has some Negroes in his factories. He says they are not doing specialized work. If Mr. Ford will take the trouble to investigate he will find that these colored men in his factories are doing only the "smaller tasks" not because their "skulls are made in one piece," but because they are not being given a fair field. We say confidently to Mr. Ford that if he gives his colored workmen equal opportunity he will find that they can make anything that goes into a Ford automobile with as much skill as anybody else. We also feel inclined to suggest to Mr. Ford that, in future, for the sake of his own reputation, he confine his newspaper interviews to economic and industrial questions. COMMENDING THE AGE Long Live The New York Age! To the Editor of The Age: I have been reading. The Age for a good many years. I must say that Mr. James W.

I thank you sincerely for the kind words spoken about my talk at the Settlement School: ("Negro Folk-songs"). I am so old a journalistic hand that I can take hard knocks with a good deal of indifference; but I appreciate a friendly hand-grasp just the same. Sincerely yours, H. E. KREIBEL WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY ADVERTISING IN NEWSPAPERS To the Editor of The Age: I am writing to thank you for the very wide publicity which you gave my letter bearing upon the statement of E. Exams, of the Curtis Publishing Company. To judge from the commendatory letters which I have received, since its publication, it has certainly, put some of our business men and editors to thinking along the line of advertising if you will grant me a little additional spies, I will enlarge upon that point as suggested in my former article. I repeat that it is an unfortunate situation in this country whereby the Negro spends more than a billion dollars annually with white merchants and national advertisers and from which the Negro papers get such meagre appropriations from the advertising appropriations from the advertising. Sometimes I had the opportunity to see the schedule of advertising for a national advertiser and there were items from their $500,000, application which would be used to directly glean every particular class of people except the Negro. For instance 'there was J. W. J. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE SUMMER SCHOOL FOR TEACHERS Sixth Annual Session, June 21 to July 16, 1915 OVER 400-TRACHERS PRESENT LAST SESSION advertising, newspaper, magazine, in one or more of the mediums in one or more of the media in an advertisement to rate and local circulation. The New York Age, one of the best apartment-to-tail advertising mediums of all the newspapers in New York City. Much comments give large commercial value and importance to the advertising columns of these newspapers, and to the purchasing power of the race, which in the last analysis is the basis of all advertising appropriations. Right now the Negro newspapers have the best opportunity to secure national advertising than ever before in their history if they will combine and go after it judiciously, effectively and persistently, because these advertisers are beginning to appreciate the value of newspapers for their advertising in preference to the magazines which they have been using so consistently in their press. In full Order Journal" there are some very interesting facts bearing but this statement. It is shown by figures that all of the standard magazines have been losing steadily in the amount of advertising carried in their columns while the newspapers have been gradually increasing. It says that "Everybody's" Magazine" carried in 1911, 376,386 lines of advertising while in 1914 it only carried 220,599 lines. "The Laddes Home Journal" carried in 1911, 353,215 lines and in 1914, 319,592 lines. In the same issue the Laddes Home Journal advertising manager of one of the largest and oldest manufacturers in America says that he believes that the newspaper, whether it be metropolitan, daily or weekly, in one of the first in value, to the national advertiser. "It seems," he says, "to combine admirably the two basic purposes in advertising: general publicity and direct sales 'advertising.'" In consideration of these facts, I repeat that it is very urgent for our newspapers to go after their portion of this business with a vigorous effort. The National Negro Press Association should evolve some plan which would have for its aim the bringing to the attention of these national advertisers in the most effective manner, the immense purchasing power of the Negro race and the ability of the Negro newspaper to reach and influence it.

EFFICIENCY (The Saturday News, Hopkinson, Ky.) "James W. Johnson, the brilliant contributing editor of 'The New York Age,' who is making that ancient and honorable arm of the race to fight for our rights with new vigor, calls attention to the real need of efficiency in the railroad," Johnson has come to the staff of "The Age," he has hit a number of nails upon their heads, but we doubt if he has smitten one that has been sticking out so plainly and for so long as the lack of efficiency. "Mr. Johnson's observations were inked by the discharge of the colored men of the railroads; and the substitution of white girls in their stead, brings out the point that if the officials of the railroad discarded the colored men because they were of the opinion that the girls would attract more business to the dining car, it was but fair; but the substitution of men was supplanted because of their inefficiency, it was a serious matter. There's the rub! Is the Negro as a class as efficient as the white people? If he isn't he has got to be and he needs to wake up and wake up early to bring about the conmunation, of this end. There are no more purely racial avocations in this county, wherein a man or woman is selected simply by her or she is a Negro. The white people have long been the beaters, waiters, cooks, porters, hostlers, dutlers and all the other avocations, which for centuries have been the uncontested properties of the cadded people. Service has grown to be a science and the white people have developed it to that dignity. The Negro must keep abreast of this development or he is a gone gooslin. He cannot longer perform a service as good as any Negro performs it! He must perform a service as good as any Negro performs it, and if he really succeeds, he must do it better than anybody else does it. At least that should be his goal: the goal of perfection. --- There must be no slim-shot method no smirking over, no "kicks and presses." The Negro must do a thing as well as anybody, must brush up its efficiency, to the end that when he calls attention is missed. Mr. Johnson was reminded the note when he brought up the sort of racial efficiency, and we should hope that he in his powerful news-seller and others of our publishers in his leaders will entail their energy and benevolent affection in keeping the object up. The Negro race must be silent; it must be so in self-esteem. ER SCHOOL FOR TEACHERS June 21 to July 16, 1915 PRESENT LAST SESSION The woods are full of musical aspirants who think a-voles or ability to play a few selections is the whole thing. Some imagine that the owl owes one girl wrote to that she would go crazy if she did not get "voice culture." The craze for going abroad is as popular as ever. They write that they intend to go. In two years about 100,000 people about Germany or France. Will they use them? When I was abroad the first time I received dozens of letters all of which I answered at the rate of five cents for each French stamp. There were two men who would not take my advice, which was, "Not to come unless they had at least $1." They are foreign ministers, the American newspaper representatives, to American residents and to many teachers, including my teachers. "One American lady sent them to me. They knew that I would lecture to them, although I ingested so, although they lived my quarter" they would dodge me and call when I went out. They called often but would not leave their names and reported to the lady in question that I did not "respond." The assistant, who was not me, would not help them. It is a mystery to me how they got out of Paris. Other colored aspirants wrote to my teachers in order to get them, them, them, I forbore telling with whom I was studying. Anonymous begined writing and some particularly unnecessary. One written in a beautiful feminine chirigraphy told of a young pianist who was a cripple, seventeen years of age who needed financial help, the name was given by the attendant, which was to write to him but no name was signed and of course no postage stamp accompanied the request. I wondered if the writer was the boy's mother, sister or sweetheart. If a teacher she would be signed her name. I filed the letter. A year afterward I sang in a town near the town from which the letter had been posted. After the rental the young folks crowded around the room. "Y ought to hear this young man play. Allow me to present him." As I looked at the young man, I knew that he was the subject of the letter. I made inquiries and found that his father was a well-do man written the anonymous letter. It has remained unanswered. Letters Asking Advice. In all my experience of receiving letters from young aspirants asking help or advice, I have only received three postage stamps. This is a sample of one letter. I am sure you won't remember me, you at ____, but anyway I heard you. I want you to give me some instruction along some lines. Write me and tell me if you are living in Philadelphia. I want to know if you can get me sent a letter, or planning to help myself earn some money with which to help myself here. I concluded that a male was the writer and sent the letter to the principal of the school. I wrote to the young student, and that the principal of his school could inform him better than I could of opportunities for employment because I was traveling most of the time but he must remember, that when people wrote letters requiring answers, they generated closed a stamp and wrote full names. White vocal teachers say that they have the same trials to contend with. That a teacher may do every thing that she can until the end, but if she does not succeed, the pupil will succeed—that all the rest counts for nought. After the pupil has success he thinks that he has made the teacher's reputation. However, the teacher, like any other, does not weary in helping the new one who come. Trying Voices. Trying voices is one of the trials of the vocal teacher. Each imagines that he has a great voice and should be taught free. He married man with six children presented himself. "I am a married man with six children. I sing frequently in public. I cannot afford to pay out much money, because this large family must be supported. Now, I thought that if you donate me one lesson a week that I could afford to pay out much money." For that was speechless. Then I remanded, "That a man who enjoyed the luxury of a large family should give all his money to his family, and should educate the family and not himself." I declined his offer and of course he did not. Another time a big tall fellow came to me for vocal lessons. When he found that the terms would be $1 for an hour lessons, embracing voice culture, sight reading and a little theory and harmony, he seemed astounded. His lessons does one take in a month." Why two or three a week the first week. I could never pay that!" "What did you think they would do to you?" "Just cents." "I am not sure." "After was very low be- come were always poor." "I decided to help him." "I push, or any yous." "I did that he need not pay." "That I would see what him. The next day I pro- have secured as a teacher in a man or store."

I was her lessons gratis affected my sympathy I was not well, I took her and "armed" I took with valuable hints, etc. I also gave her standard songs that I had on hand. The third lesson I found that she—was not trying to—commit her memory, asked her why she had not learned her words, "Well, I had my piano lesson to notice and that took all my time," concealed my real feelings and said, "I am only here for a week or so more, and I am inconveniencing myself to help you, and I am not well. You have your piano teacher here all the time to direct to sight or even on it your piano-lesson, meditatively lost enthusiasm and intolerance and cut out two extra lessons that I had planned to give her. Wanted Her "Board Paid. One of my first callers when I roached a certain Northern town in which I had been advertised to sing, was a come to this city to hear her voice cultured. She had been boarding at $5 a week, and said that she had, had two lessons at $3 each, but her money ran out in the month. "Why don't you go to work," I said. "You are big and strong." "I don't know where to find it." "Well, I will help you. I am going to have some money to them, until I see what is in you. I investigated and found that she was lazy and shiftless and had expected that "pay her board." I found power for her but I never saw her again. I suppose she will declare like another one who would not take advice went to her and she wouldn't do anything to her. I would teach to learn to read notes and play the piano. Two years had passed and still she had not followed the advice. I gave what I had to give, advice, build a house and help with money and had money to give I would not have given it to him. Amateur composers are always asking to have their songs, sung. I have written many songs. The author is in the audience and asks you to sing this song." Not a line of thanks have I received from any, colored composer for singing songs. However, a song I wrote for a friend and one of them sent me a telegram the night that I first sang his words. When I began having the largest hats in various cities for my recitals, the inmates began to desire to "assist me." "He:Just:Sings!" In one city an uneducated girl came to me and asked "Do you have people to sing with you at——hall?" I asked, "Why?" I came to see about what I did and sing with you. "Who is he?" "He is a hard worker." The last Sunday at——church and every body said he ought to sing in a big place." "How old is he?" "About thirty-five." "Does he read music?" "Oh, no man'm, he just SINGs." I told her he ought to sing with me and even I did hard work so would be people who had studied music. I explained that even a barber had to learn his trade and practice at it in the right way, to get in a good barber shop. That it was not fair to people to call themselves masseuses, did not know the points of the trade. She said, "she never looked at it that way." She was evidently the man's sweetheart. "The following better explains itself: Matame: Hackley: It gives me great pleasure to inform you of a good singing whom I don't think you have gotten the name in this our city, and song in some of the large churches my race and I would like very much for you to send to this address a card and have her come to your address and have her sing with you at Her July.

No one can deny the fact that the .Darktown Follies possess magnetic charms for the colored theatregoers of Harlem and vicinity.” No colored show in the history of colored theatrieals, has so generally pleased local colored theatre- goets.” And although the show may tind the going slippery and ofttimes hazard- ous while on the road, it has always found the Lafayette a haven of refuge. This week the Darktown Follies are ‘back to the-scene of former tritniphs “and -thé-company “is-receiving-a-hearty, swarm and sincere welcoine from admir- ers by the score. A visitor to New York, not knowing conditions, “would doubtless form the opinion that the show was playing its first engagement in Har- stem, so large arc the crowds invading the Lafayette for admittange. And al- though much of the dialogue and most ‘of the’ musical numbers have been heard before, they occasion enthusiasin in large chunks. and are received amid great ap- plause, . . ‘The most radical changes in the Dark- town Follies have been made in the cast and these changes have on the whole Breatly strevigthened the production.

The severest criticism that can be made of the present produgtion is that itis too lengthy and should Be shortened. ‘Comparisons, they say, are ovlious, but we will, for sake of convenience, tempo- rarily forget hat such 1s true and com- pare J.

Being personally interested in the production, aslde from havinga personal interest in’ the theatre wliere it is enjoy- ing a most successful engagement, it is, perhaps, out of order for me to indulge in a personal comparison, But T can truthfully state that the consensus of opinion is that the Darktown Follies are as _advertised=-"Rigger—Retter= Brighter.” With hundreds of peuple braving the elements in the most severe week of winter to see the Darktown Follies, and Ming the Lafayette sto overdowing at cach performance, this comparison seems 16 be a correct one. FOLLIES HELD OVER. So highly successful hax been the en- engement of J.

Among the starters inthe 10-yard dash (se nior) were Wilmer Lucas of *DeWit Clinton and P. J. White, the fast Stuy vesant High School boy, who was a ho favorite. To hold up tie “honor of the race” it was necessary for these men t& defeat such men as Feurestein, Maynart White, last year's champion, and a num her of others.

JONES TAILOR 431 Lenox Ave. . NRE Rt, | NEWYORK July Gaye First Emmanuel Church. The Rev. Richard Manuel, Bolden pastor of the First Emmanuel Church, West 130th street, said: That the Holy Spirit's speciality in the human family just now seems to be that of choosing and burnishing those who have been elected to give certain glory to our Lord the Emmanuel. There are many ways by which we might test our relationship in this matter. The fundamental method is self-analysis. First we should take our mental hacks out of decaying and time-saving enterprises, so that the eternal presence can and will possess second, we should retire with the knowledge of this eternal presence, direct and cause our thoughts to supply us with the true information as to our place in God, and as to what action we should take for the immanuel on this plane, today now. Our attitude in now and now is an important in our becoming burnished and shining lights; we can and always glow. In fact, when the immanuel has commanded the Holy Spirit to weld us in Himself we are no way for the light to be hid or put out by anyone ourselves. the power in our own wills to do or not do can regulate the energy. We are not to notice or entertain the thoughts, of evil minded persons. Time servers are cruel, we are to be kind. in others there may be feaulous and deceit, in us should be zeal and truth. In others there is prejudice race antagonism, in us is "malice toward none, charity toward all", in others proscription and ostracism in us provision and altruism. The light and heat in Immaculate are a constant intense shining area. It is the burning radiant passion of God and His own. Our vocation in this world is what it is and where it is because we are set on fire to humanly burn out for The knowledge of our existence in three worlds makes us in proportion to our ability to do so, appreciate the dignity and honor conferred upon us by an all wise heavenly Father. In that He hath commissioned us to co-operate in His soul the Immanuel's Redemption and become sharers and partakers in His glory. The things we did against God and the things that we did not for Him in the world from which we came. He does not commit against us, it is the thoughts and acts. Now, that are reckoned with; this image and likeness of God is accountable. Our attitude toward men and things should be that of a loving traveler, sojourner, a tent dweller, and wayshower. We are the constellation around the central 'sun' in the human firmament, the intercourse and communion with the unseen is a right and privilege for we are not to think of our ourselves and foreigners in the world to which we are but citizens, relatives, heirs and heirs with our Lord, the Immanuel in the glorious gifts of the Father. The heavens are opened to us, the anneals and saints are helping us, the Holy Spirit is working in us, and our Lord, the Immanuel is reigning in and over us. The impending danger alarming nations is a signal to us to rest in the lord and wait patiently for him, and he will give our hearts desire, and that is the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. The Sunday School was opened at the usual hour by Pastor Bolden. Notwithstanding the inclement weather a large number of scholars and teachers were present.
