In Grand Lodge in this State, Harry A of the Lodge, quotes the following: "History of Freemasonry": S.1.2 LEAD Masonic Grand Lodge A convention of the Craft was called in the City of New York, March 14, 1845, to establish a Grand Lodge for the state. This was con- mitted by the election of Paul Dray- grand master; James Barnett, S. G. Alexander Elston, J. G. W.; Lewis Hasson G. S.; C. G. Boyer, G. T. and other grand officers. The title of this grand lodge was Boyer Grand Lodge of Freehold Accepted Masons of the State of New York. In 1845 a convention was called to prove the City of New York, October 18, 1845, to unify the Craft. This re- presentation to the organization and another grand lodge under the title, United Grand Lodge of Ancient Freemasons of the State of New York, and elected and installed the following officers: James Barnett, M. W. G. M.; Jacob Giths, R. W. D. G. M.; Alexander El- rison, R. W. J. W.; Charles Hooten, R. W. G. T.; Jacob Francis, R. W. G. and other grand officers. Growth of Order. The growth of the Order has been continuous since its organization in the state and there are now 65 lodges under the grand lodge with several thousand members. Since 1918, when David W. Parker became the grand master, the lodge has grown more rapidly than at any other time in its history. At the annual session of the Grand Lodge, Grand Master Parker reported the lodge to have paid for the $30,000 plot on West 14th street on which a masonic temple is soon to be erected; that receipt on the year were $4,000 more than the expenses, and that the lodge is in a healthy condition in every other way. Plan for the temple indicate that it will be the largest and finest owned by Negroes in the country. As Masonry is a non-beneficial organization, the home is being financed by the sale of bonds to its members. The Prince Hall Temple and Home Association, Inc. has been organized to push this project. The directions of this association are Jesse D. Phillips, president; C. E. Cyril, secretary; J. C. Donham, treasurer, and Theodore C. Pell, Aaron Pollard, George E. Marshall, Samuel W. Dett, and Thomas Jackson. The membership of the Grand Lodge is composed of many of the most subservient and useful citizens of the city and the state. The grand officers of the body are David W. Parker, grand master; Daniel T. Teagle, deputy grand master; Eugene S. Plummer, senior grand master; Joseph Sullivan, junior grand warden; Harvey E. Williams, grand master; Arthur A. Schomburg, grand secretary and Jesse D. Phillips, Jr. Joshua C. E. Cyril, Samuel G. Grisbert D. Brooks, Samuel W. D. Watson E. Follard, Thomas Jackington and George E. Marshall, grand master. Order of Eastern Star. The community auxiliary of the Grand Dale of Lurika Grand Chapter, Or- gan of Eastern Star, also has an inter- est in history and is doing good work in the state. It was organized in 1909 now has twenty chapters and three clubs and a membership of five late presidents are Mrs. A. Campbell, New York City, worthy history; D. M. Crispell, Tarry- son, worthy grand patron; R. Jacob Garner, worthy grand assistant patron; Mrs. Lazie Lippin, Syracuse, worthy assistant matron; Mrs. H.

Judge Moneure named W. W. Jordan and John Randolph. They are receivers of the Mechanics Savings Bank of which John Mitchell, Jr. under, is president, because of faulty banking process or officials of that institution. At the opening of the bank seems to be current today as when the doors were closed. John Mitchell, Jr., and other officers have been indicted for alleged criminal action; but these charges have been and are strenuously denied to the men concerned. The latest development is that Mr. Mitchell has made out a deed of trust in the Mechanics Savings Bank and the Grand Lodge, Knights of Virginia, sequestering to them an entire real estate holdings for the protection of claims amounting to $10,000. The property, according to Mr. Mitchell has a minimum valuation of $10,000, with equities valued at approximately $150,000. Under favorable conditions, Mr. Mitchell claims that his properties will bring $211,000.

The family has been living in Boston, and when Mrs. Grimes became especially damaged, the Managers immediately feared she would become a public charge. As an alien, the alleged income woman was ordered deported to her former home in Barbados, and she was brought here under guard to take passage on the Lamport & Holt liner Vasari, which sailed Saturday, December 16, from the pier at foot of Fifteenth street, Hoboken. The husband and three infant children accompanied her. Just how it happened, no one knows. But after being placed in her waterroom, and apparently safely disposed of for the long ocean trip, Mrs. Grimes in some MOTHER ZION BUYS ANOTHER PROPERTY On Tuesday, December 19, Mother A. M. E. Zion Church of West 136th street, the Rev. J. W. Brown, pastor, took title to the property at 140 West 137th street, paying the sum of $5,000 cash. With this acquisition, Dr. Brown and his congregation have acquired a frontage of one hundred feet on 137th street, just in the rear of their 136th street properties. It is on this site that the new Mother Zion Church is to be erected, the church holdings extending through from one street to the other. They own already Nos. 142, improved with a building, as is 140, and 144 and 146, which are vacant lots.

Attorney Robert N. Pollard, acting for directors of the Mechanica Bank, secured an order from the receivers permitting the officers to employ the American Audit Co., to examine the books and check up on the work of the receivers, but when an attempt was made, to do this work, the American Audit Co., was informed that other auditors had the books and they could not be had until finished with. The Audit Co., has been waiting now two months, it is alleged. It was expected that the receivers would have made a report at least by December 1, but they have not as yet done so. Depositors who carried in their passbooks to the receivers have not been able to get them back, being told that they were not ready to be given out. NEW YORK, N. Y., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1922.

She would never return to the home she had left even though she could not stay in the home of her adoption. The sailing of the ship was delayed while a vain effort was made to find the lost body. Finally, when convinced that she was gone and there was no hope for the immediate finding of the body, Grimes and his motherless babies paedaled with the Vasari enroute to their home on the British West Indian island. The sun will shine bright on the sandy shores of Barbados and the luxuriant tropical vegetation will grow as brilliantly as ever, but Grimes' heart will be heavy and sorrowful and there will be little of the Christmas spirit to lighten the gloom which has settled down over the lives of the graveying husband and the children who do not miss their mother. FIRST NEGRO LAWYER iPittsburgh Pa.-J. Welfred Holmes, 55 years old, the first Negro lawyer admitted to the bar in Allegheny county, was stricken while in his office on Tuesday, December 5, and died at his home, 704 Copeland street, the following Friday evening at 9:20 o'clock. He had practiced law in Pittsburgh for thirty-one years. Counsellor Holmes was a native of Savannah, Ga., and a graduate from Wayland Seminary at Washington, now Virginia Union University at Richmond, and from the law school of Howard University, class 1892. After being admitted to the bars of the District of Columbia and of Maryland, he was admitted in Pennsylvania in 1891. In 1905 he served as a member of the State Board of Electors. The funeral on Tuesday, December 12, was held from Central Baptist Church, the Rev. Scott Wood, vicar of St. Luke's P. E. Mission, New York City, officiating. MOTHER ZION GIVES DINNER FOR GIRLS The girls who are at present inmates of the Katy Ferguson Home for unmarried mothers will not forget Christmas Day of 1922, for plans being laid indicate that it will be a day of gorgous enjoyment and glorious feasting. A number of the patrolmen attached to the West 135th Street police station, 38th Precinct, have contributed to a fund to be used to purchase gifts for all the girls at the Katy Ferguson, and this fund has been turned over to Fred R. Moore, editor of The Age, for that purpose. Contributions of $1 each have been received from Patrolmen Battle, Harry Agard, William Hunter, Richardson, McCloud, Carter, Matthews, Boyden, Green and R. Carter, all colored officers, and others will add their contributions to the fund. The Christmas dinner will be the big feature of the day's program, however, and this function, from soups to nuts, including a mammoth turkey, with all the fixins, will be furnished by the Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, West 130th street, the Rev. J. W. Brown, pastor. It will be an elaborate spread, up-to-the-minute in all its appointments, and it will crown a day of what promises to be the most unusual in the lives of most of the girls, who are now being taken care of at the Katy Ferguson Home, 162 West 130th street. Friends who care to add to the pleasure of these unfortunate girls, are asked to send gifts of any description, either direct to the Home or to The New York Age office. 230 West 135th street.

Miss Olivia M. Harris, confined in the King's Park State Hospital for the insane, under a commitment order secured by her father, George H. Harris, understaff, of 646 Herkimer street, Brooklyn, was visited on last Sunday by Mr. Harris and two ladies to whom he had given permits. Efforts made by other friends of the young woman to secure permission to visit the girl were unavailing, it is alleged. The two visitors on Sunday, in addition to the parent, were Mrs. Winters, of 885 Herkimer street, and Miss Mabel Dabney, of the New York Urban League, 2303 Seventh avenue, who resides in Brooklyn. As told in last week's Age, it was to Mrs. Winters' home that Miss Harris first died on September 13, following the alleged trouble at her home, and it was to the one of Miss Dabney's mother that the girl went after leaving Mrs. Winters. According to the information at hand, Mrs. Dabney is Olivia's god mother, and it was from her home that Olivia was taken to the Kings County Hospital, Classon avenue, Brooklyn, where she was kept for a week before being removed to the Kings Park institution. Refused to Talk Efforts to secure specific statements from the visitors to Kings Park were unavailing, neither Mrs. Winter or Miss Dahney being willing to talk to The Age for publication. An effort made to ascertain just what Miss Harris's condition, mental and physical, was on last Sunday, elicited only the statement that she seemed to be in good condition physically and that there was no visible evidence of mental derangement. That she is not rid of her antagonism toward her father was evident from an alleged retinal on her part to get certain articles of food which he took out to her, although she ate food and fruit brought and sent by others. It is reported that Mr. Harris has also supplied her with a pair of shoes, thus relieving the condition alleged to have existed, wherein the girl was compelled to put paper in shoes she was wearing to protect her feet from contact with the ground by reason of a hole in the shoe sole. It is, however, alleged that "Ollie," as the girl is called by her intimates, expressed dissatisfaction with the new shoes, because she claimed they hurt her feet from injury of her feet as the more than as to why he did not being a pair of her shoes which had been worn, stating that there was a number of pairs ELKS' HEAD WOULDN'T STAND FOR GAMBLING (Special To The New York Age) Newark, N. J. — Alexander Braithwaite, exalted ruler of Pride of Newark Lodge. Order of Elks, was given a vote of commendation and thanks for his action in calling in police officers and having gambling paraphernalia removed from the Elks' Home after he had appealed in vain to Nicholas Spratley, chairman, and William Mitchell, secretary, of the house committee. Spratley and Mitchell preferred charges against the exalted ruler, but when Mr. Braithwaite appeared at the Home on Thursday night to defend himself, neither of the accusers put in an appearance. The charges were dismissed and the exalted ruler's action endorsed. It has created much comment that on Saturday night following this meeting, the Citizens' Colored Club at 45 Arlington street was raided by members of the vice squad of the police, who charge that they found a dice game in progress. Among those taken as prisoners was Nicholas Spratley, of 112 East Kinney street, who was held on an additional charge of concealed weapons, a revolver being found in his pocket. Frank Mulford, 34 Arlington street, was held on charge of maintaining a gambling house. Another Segregation Move By White Property Owners Want To Establish West 129th St. as Dead Line, With Colored District Above, Whites Below— Sarco Co. Has House in 119th Street White owners of property in Harlem are trying again, through the power of the West Harlem Property Owners' Association, to create new lines of division for the segregating of racial groups so far as location of homes is concerned. While no definite action is reported to have been taken, it is estimated that suggestions have been made that owners of property in the district below 127th street who wish to sell give first opportunity solely to white purchasers. of comfortable pumps in her trunk at home. d- Sav Girl Is Rational. Such of her friends as have succeeded in gaining access to Kings Park say that Olivia talks with perfect rationality save when she is giving expression to indignation at her confinement in an insane asylum, or when she is expressing an opinion as to the treatment she alleges to have received from her father. It is gathered that on last Sunday she was so calm and collected in manner, bearing and conversation, that Mr. Harris was led to make the alleged comment that "Ollie was having a very good day, but that at other times she is in an awful fix." It is understood that other friends have received permits to visit the institution next Sunday. And it is also reported that further efforts are being made to secure the removal of the girl from this institution to a privatt sanitarium more convenient of access. Another report is that she has been removed from Ward 6, said to be an observation section, to another division given over to the declared insane, said to be Ward B.

Has Hou White owners of property in the power of the West Harlem L create new lines of division for so far as location of homes is con- is reported to have been taken, it it been made that owners of prope- street who wish to sell give first chasers. According to the published reports, the movement is being glossed over as far as possible, the real intent being hidden under a statement to the effect that "while there is no appeal to race prejudice, the general sense... was that people of both races be urged to make their homes among those of their own race." In conversation with a prominent white reality agent, The Age was told that some of the Negro real estate operators in Harlem were inclined to cooperate with the white organization in bringing about an agreement of this nature. The proposition was promptly repudiated by The Age, however, the white broker being told that so far as this paper is construed, it will not be a party to any movement that seeks to limit race group residential districts along any line save one that is purely economic. Citizens who are able to finance a living proposition in a certain residential district, said The Age, should not be barred because of race or color but all groups should be considered from the same point of view. Meeting Called In connection, attention has been called to a meeting recently held at the Renaissance Theatre, to consider the matter of property owned by the Sarco Realty Co., located in West 119th street at St. Nicholas avenue, and occupied by colored tenants. William Roach, president of the Sarco Co., called the meeting, which was attended by tenants of the property in question together with representatives of the Investors' Home GRAND OPENING!"

A statement sent out, signed by J. A. Davis, alleges that Mr. Roach advises that tenants be given a "certain time to vacate with a satisfactory amount of money to cover their moving expenses", stating that he "would make efforts through the Harlem Property Owners' Association to secure suitable quarters to house them in the colored section of Harlem," offering as reason for this action, that "it seems the Property Owners' Association is the acting spirit in the matter", and that "everybody had to bow and concede their will." Not Popular With Tenants It is not probable that this suggested solution will be popular with the tenants, and it is reported that they have already been holding meetings at which the consensus of opinion seemed to be a distinction to permit themselves to be subjected to the will of the white property owners who have consistently, though frumidly, fought every effort made by colored tenants and home seekers to secure decent living quarters in districts hitherto occupied solely by whites. It is pointed out that this group of men attempted to limit colored residents to the east side of Seventh avenue in streets above West 135th, and when this attempt failed, they switched their efforts to the sections south of West 135th street, west of Lenox avenue. The alleged position of President Roach of the Sarco Co., attributed to him by Mr. Davis of the Investors' Home Building Association, has aroused some critical comment, as heretofore it has been believed that the Sarco Co., would not recede from any advanced position attained in the effort to solve the housing problem in Harlem as it relates to Negro tenants. COLLECTION OF OLD PUBLICATIONSBURNED Many thousand copies of old publications, magazines and newspapers, some dating back as far as 1830, possessing great potential value, were destroyed by fire when a warehouse at Marion street and Fireman avenue, Long Island City, the property of Robert Budd, Jr., a colored man, known familiarly as "Back Number" Budd, was burned on Monday, December 18. The building was destroyed, the fire raging with such intensity as to require the sending in of three alarms. Budd is married to an Italian woman, and the police have found indications that the fire was incendiary, starring in a shed that adjoined the warehouse, probably by some Italian enemy who was bitter because of the marriage of an Italian woman to a colored man. The collection of old journals representing many years work on part of "Back Number" Budd, with a very considerable outlay of money. Their value increased in proportion, with their age and rarity. Mr. Budd was unable to compute his actual loss, but stated it was very heavy.

Mr. Ridley's visit was made to The Age office on Friday, December 15, and he said he would have a reply in hand in twenty-four hours, but at this writing, Tuesday afternoon, December 19, said reply has not been received. Ridley Makes Claims. One of the statements made by Ridley was that he based his claim to the legality of his organization on the fact that he had paid a white man, member of the white society, the Supreme Lodge of the World, Order of Moose, the sum of $5,000 for a charter entitling him to use of the Order's name, ritual, and other paraphermalia. The identity of the seller was not disclosed, nor was any evidence offered as to the authority vested in this vendor to dispose of right and tilt to the Order of Moose. He denied also that Maj. R. J. Jackson, cited by Mr. Henning as one of the incorporators of the colored organization, had any connection with it. It is alleged that some local members of the Order have decided to withhold further payments to the Illinois headquarters until assured of the order's legal status. Under the New York law governing the operation of fraternal organizations having insurance features the requirement is made that there must be filed with the State authorities copies of the constitution and by-laws and charter of the society. Members of the New York subordinate bodies have been asking whether or not this has been done in case of Mr. Ridley's Moose order. Where the Money Goes One of the men alleged to have become a member of a New York City lodge is reported to have given information to the effect that a New York man is alleged to have paid $750 for appointment as head of the New York branches. The promotion of the column is reputed to be a profitable proposal. Of the $1,50 paid in by each member for initiation into the order it is alleged that $1,50 of the amount is paid to Ridley as chief organizer, or whatever his official title may be. Then of the dues paid into the local lodge a yearly assessment of $0,50 per member is alleged must be paid into the general headquarters in Illinois. In the meantime, the reply to Assistant Secretary of Labor Henning's letter, which Mr. Ridley said he would make, and to which the columns of The Age were opened, has not materialized, and the question raised by Henning concerning the legal status of the Ridley Improved Benewolent Protective Order of Moose remain unanswered. POLICE MADE SECOND RAID ON WATERS' CLUB The Democratic Club operated by Oscar Waters at 154 West 138th street, near Seventh avenue, was raided again on Tuesday night by the police and 129 men and women were arrested, charged with gambling. The same club was raided six weeks ago, but insufficient evidence resulted in dismissal of the charges. The police made preparation for this raid by sending Detectives William Cox and Edward Jackson on a preliminary investigation. These men joined the club some two or three weeks ago, and have been nightly habitues of the place ever since. As a result of their work, a warrant was issued by Chief justice McAdoo and the arrest followed. Two women who were in the club were arrested, along with the men about one-third of whom were white. Oscar Waters of 111 West 138th street and Samuel Wilson of 319 Wise 140th street were held under charges of conducting gambling and maintaining a gambling house, and bookmaking. These raids were made because of numerous and general complaints made by residents of the neighborhood as to the alleged disorderly happenings at this club, which is supposed to be the stronghold of Democratic leaders in the district. MAN. STABBED. WOULD. (Special To The New York Age) Newark, N. J.-Charles Bird, who says he lives in Chrome, was released from the City Hospital last Thursday and taken to the Family Court to appear against Elizabeth Johnson, who is alleged to have stabbed him during a fight in Arlington street, November 27. Patrolman Zimmerman and Fuchs arretried the woman and also Cadie Carter, another woman who was with the Johnson woman and sent Bird to the Hospital. He refused to tell where he lived, objecting to going to the hospital and said he did not know who cut him. Detectives Fallon and Reinbold later took the Johnson woman to the hospital and Bird identified her as the one who had cut him. He refused to make a formal complaint and Patrolman Fuchs made the complaint and had Bird held in 500 gallons as a material witness. The Johnson woman was held in $500 bail for the grand jury on a charge of atrocities assesed and battery and the Bird is a stranger in $500 bail on a injunction. --- New Farming Features For Tuskegee Negro Conference Thirty-Second Annual Session To Be of Great Significance—Foremost Agricultural Experts of Country To Be In Attendance (Special To The New York Age) Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—The thirty-second annual Tuskegee Negro Conference, which will be held at Tuskegee Institute, January 12 and 18, bids fair in the one of the most significant and most largely attended since the move-richt was inaugurated by the late Dr. Porter T. Washington. Many new features of interest to farmers, home-makers and rural welfare workers have been added to this year's program and the railroads have granted a reduced rate amounting to a fare and a half for the round-trip. VIRGINIA FARMERS MAKE BETTER CROPS (Hampton, Va.—Negro farm-demonstration work in Virginia, carried on in twenty-three counties through the cooperation of federal and state agencies, which aim "to place country life upon a higher plane of profit, comfort, culture, influence and power," has been an extraordinary success. Dr. John J. Tigert, U. S. Commissioner of Education; Dr. C. W. Pugsley, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, and Dr. O. B. Smith, director of States Relation Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, who is in charge of the agricultural extension work, are definitely planning to be present. Secretary Henry C. Wallace has tentatively promised to attend for one day. Among the other important visitors expected is Allen W. Clarke, chairman of the National Clean-up and Paint-up Bureau of St. Louis, Mo. An exhibit hall is in the process of erection which insures adequate housing for the many exhibits from the various counties as well as the thirty or more demonstrations by the departments of the institute that will show how Tuskegee Institute is striving to improve the condition of the farmers of this entire section through local, state and national extension activities. Various welfare agencies operating in the South will hold group meetings at the institute January 15 and 10. Among the agencies to be represented are Farm and home demonstration agents, operating under the Smith-Lever Act; vocational teachers working under the Smith-Hughes Act; teachers in Rosewald schools, and supervisors of rural schools under the Jeanes Slater Fund. The president and trustees of the Land Grant College of the South will also hold a meeting here at a later time. The representatives of the various agencies will remain at the institute throughout the semester and take an active part on the program. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal, is urging all delegates to the conference to write to Tuskegee Institute and secure identification certificates which will entitle them to purchase the reduced round-trip ticket to Chezaw, Ala. REDUCED RATES FOR ALPHI PHI ALPHA (Special To The New York Age) Washington, D. C.-Anouncement is made by the national secretary of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity that railroads of the country have granted reduced rates for transportation to and from the fifteenth annual convention to be held at St. Louis, December 27-31. A rate of one and one-half fare is based on the certificate plan, and will apply to members of the fraternity and dependent members of their families. The certificate is secured when one-way ticket to St. Louis is purchased, tickets being on sale December 23 to 29. This certificate, when validated by Norman L. McGhee, national secretary, at St. Louis, will be accepted, with half fare, for return ticket. The Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity has grown steadily. At last year's session at Baltimore, more than 300 delegates were in attendance, representing thirty-two chapters. At present there are forty-four chapters with a total membership of more than 2,500.

M. V. Boutte, representing the Charles Young Post, No. 398, American Legion, who handed the distinguished visitor the following letter: "Dear sir: "We represent the two hundred thousand black men who helped defend France in the Great War. We loaded and unloaded ships; we built roads and rialroads; we staggered under tremendous burdens; we repaired and guided automobiles; we carried food and ammunition to the front lines, and in the great decisive battle which broke the Hindenburg line and drove the Germans back to Germany five American black regiments in the front trenches and one thousand of us were left dead on the field of battle. "Our sacrifice was not in vain. We learned to know France. We learned to know a land where color prejudice was unknown and where even the appeals of our white American fellow citizens on leaf ear." For this reason, sir, we welcome you as the foremost representative of that great country, and we pledge to you the sympathy and help of 12,000,000 Negroes in any future crisis, so long as France of the future lives up to the cleavage of France of the past.

Colored Washingtonians Are In Arms Against Bathing Ban (Telegram to the New York Age) Washington, D. C. The committee on recreation of the Mu-So-Lit Club, through its chairman, Dr. William H. Wilson, has taken up the cause of the colored citizens in the matter of public bathing in the District. The committee declares that unjust discrimination is being made by the War Department, which has supervision over public bathing, and argues that the idea of cooling cooled citizens from the bathing not in accordance with democratic ideals and justice. The following letter has been forwarded the Secretary of War by Dr. "Dear Sir: "The attestation of the Mu-So-Lit has been called to a request which you are alleged to have made a committee of colored mankind heldence with you respecting bathing facilities upon the public domain in the environs of Washington. The allegation imputes to you the desire that colorea people express their wish respecting the location of a bathing beach for them at some point upon the Potomac River. "In the name of the Mu-So-Lit Club, whose membership comprises many of the most representative colored men of Washington, you are informed that these colored Americans have no desire which is separate from that of other Americans, and that they have no intention of negatizing them by the selection of a pathing beach pier or the separation of American Americans. They recognize America's problem to consis; in making a homogeneous unit from its various racial elements. They would contribute nothing thereto should they seek to dissever this homegeneity; government seeking so to do contributes no more. "It is our wish and our right to hathe where other citizens bathe." To compel us to bathe elsewhere is violative of both our wish and our right Discrimination by placement, barrier, partition, fence rope of what not, shall never be by our request. Always it is done, over our most pollen protest and by our power against which we cannot prevail. We accept it, bemoaning the fact that our wishes and our rights are not respected. But let there be respect, standing, and are satisfied that ours words of frank and thoughtful Negro in the District of Columbia, when we say to you, what we prefer to remain as beachless as we now are than to request, or to acquiesce in, the selection of a beach at any point upon the Potomac River except the Tidal Basin." HELP FOR NEW BERN FIRE SUFFERER8 Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE: I thank you for the appeal made in The Age in its issue of December 16 in the interest of those who recently suffered from the devastating fire at New York City, C. C. from five city blocks and more than four thousand were burned, making about three thousand of our race homeless and in sore distress. I beg that you will make a specific appeal to the churches and beneficial organizations to offer im- mediate help of money, clothing, shoes, and bed clothing, all of which are sorely needed, as letters received by me daily attest. The "Newberman," published in that city on December 10, says: "Practically all of the victims had their all destroyed, many of them having naught in their possession now but on their backs and determination to make good if a chance is given. Still they are trusting in the Almighty and looking around for a chance to go to work." Think of these homeless thousands of our own race in this bleak December weather: some without friends; others almost naked; some hungry, some without money; and some almost without hope. The grievous conditions of physical wards and suffering among these people call for the manifestation of the Samaritan spirit, and I am sure no man or woman with a heart will be by my other side. All contributions be by me. DL All contributions may be sent DI RECT to Who is chairman of the coloured section of the colored relief committee and under whose endorsement and approval I appeal. 'As we sow so shall we reap." THOS H. KNIGHT. 2209 Seventh avenue, N. Y. City. Wm. Cato, Jersey City, Dead. (Telegram to the New York Age) Jersey City, N. J.-Though he had not been in robust health for many months the announcement of the death of William Cato, who had died at his home on December 13, was a shock to friends. Quiet and ungestimated, he was identified with many of Jersey City's philanthropic, religious and social activities. He was born in American, Ga., December 25, 1802, but moved to Atlanta in 1874; he located in Jersey City, May 13, 1897. For forty years he was an employee of the Pullman Company and the officials expressed appreciation and admiration for his splendid example. Among the wealth of floral tributes was a large piece from the Pullman Porters of the Pennsylvania Terminal. Palmer services were held at his late home, 188 Academy street, Sunday, December 17, with Dr. Wm. A. Byrd, conducting the service, J. W. Washington sang Mr. Cato's favorite hymns. Interment was in Bayview Cemetery. Mr. Cato was a member of the Lafayette Presbyterian Church and the Pullman Porter's Association. He is survived by his widow (nee Miss Millie Blue) to whom he was married in 1881, and who inherits a comfortable estate.

LOUIS, MO. Poro Corner By JAMES H. HOGANS. The recent and sudden collapse, of the Manhattan Piggy Wiggly Corporation, carried in its wake several porters of our acquaintance. One had invested $900; another $700, and a few others smaller amounts. The phrase, "Pennywise and Dollar-foolish," might be facetiously applied to these men, for if they had foresight and economy enough to save their dimes and quarters, they turned their dollars loose with a recklessness that signified poor judgment. The speculative instinct is inherent in all of us to a certain extent; it's a heritage from our foreparents, Adam and Eve, for they speculated when they ate the apple, the idea being, we will take chance. Since then, man has taken chances; accordingly, with other times unwisely. But making all allowances for that slip, Adam never had the safeguards and the advice thrown around and about him so securely and freely as the man of today has in the investing of his money. There are so many means by which one may learn of the security and substantiality of an investment that it is almost criminal for us to be guilded into buying worthless or dubious paper. One of the numerous agencies is the daily papers, and we are positive the Tribune advised us enough about Manhattan Piggly Wiggly stock. Then, too, the porter should be the last person to get stung, because we have the banker and broker with us constantly. And while these operators do not make it a practice to vouch information offhand, yet, we have never known one to refuse advice on a financial. However, we feel sorry for those whoCIAL matter which concerned "this" porter. got nipped; we may have the same thing happen to us some day, but it will be due to the fact that all avenues of information are closed to us. Our advice is: Follow the signals at the railroad crossing: "Stop, Look, Listen," when you contemplate investing your cash. PASSING OF "THE MAJOR." Well, the Major has "Gone West." This expression, uttered with pathos and reverence among the porters of this district, is caused by the passing of Major A. E. Thornton, an old and respected employee of the Pullman Company, who died a few days since. Constantly spoken of as "The Major," this term was applied to him more in affection than through military services, although the title was rightly his, having served in the New York State Guard. He was not only an invaluable employee, a considerate instructor and a conscientious officer, but he was a gentleman, every inch of him, from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet. We never did know the exact official status of the Major in the company; and, we dare say, very, few did; he was sort of a general dictionum among the office force. If your diagram all wrong, to Major you want to be straightened out; if you had to be instructed in new rules, you charges and taxes, he was the man to see; if your layover was not right, and you wanted to have it corrected, to him you would, if wise, to his perpetual credit, he gave you the best that was in him. We have never known of a single instance where a porter was rebuffled or treated discourteously when he went to him for information and advice. In memory of his christian and outstanding character, the least, we can say is: he was really and truly white—thoroughly so. Living he travelled East; now that he is on the Westward grip, may his good deeds here be reflected to a light that will be a beacon to guide him on his journey to the haven of eternal rest. Text and Pretext BY M. ASHBY JONES, D. D. THE LYNCHING OF THE DYER ILL (In The Atlantic, Ga., Constitution). That is just what happened. The lynching bill was lynched—the force bill was destroyed by force. The Dyer bill died a violent death, and there have been no mourners among either the Democrats or the Republicans. The whole proceedings ran true to form. A mob assembled in the Senate chamber, and everybody knew it was forming, and knew just what they were going to do. The officers in charge of the proposed law made a slight pretense of defending their prisoner and then surrendered to the overwhelming numbers and force of a small minority. The prisoner was a great embarrassment, and the officers were truly delighted to have him forcibly taken from their charge and put to death. This lynching bill is another act in a legislative farce. It is another expression of a type of political hypocrisy which trifles with serious social problems, and plays its petty partisanship with tragic situations. The Republicans proposed the bill in order to win the Negro votes in the northern and western states, and the Democrats heroically and violently opposed the bill in order to win white voters in the southern states. But in the meantime Negroes are put to death without any legal trial, and in many instances with indescribable barbarity. Whether the Dyer bill was technically constitutional or not I am incompetent to judge. I am convinced, however, that whenever the 'time comes that a state government is either unable or unwilling to give to any group of citizens of the United States within its borders the right to a fair trial by the federal court, the answer is the under the most solemn obligation to step in and protect these citizens in this most sacred of rights. But it is not easy to decide when and how this ought to be done. The Heart of Democracy Democracy is more than a form of government. Other forms are far more efficient in coercing people into a regular and orderly social conduct. The German imperial system was, from this standpoint, the best example of political efficiency the world has ever seen. Democracy is a school which seeks to develop a disciplined self-control on the part of all the people. It aims at nothing less than teaching each local group the art of self-government. This can BISHOP BLACKWELL'S WIFE DIED SUDDENLY (Special To The New York Age) Philadelphia, Pa.—Leaving her home at 624 South 16th street on an errand to secure medicine and fruit for her sick husband, Bishop G. L. Blackwell of the A. M. E. Zion Church, Mrs. Anna W. Blackwell was stricken with heart disease and died in a few minutes after being taken to Douglass Hospital. Her death occurred. Thursday evening, December 7. Leaving home about 6:45 p. m., Mrs. Blackwell went to the drug, store and left the room to be filled the wagon on to the fruit store at 1542 South Shortly after entering this store she was stricken. The alarmed fruiterer rushed out for help, meeting Mrs. G. Edward Dickerson, an intimate friend of Mrs. Blackwell, who identified her friend and summoned Dr. Ernett Robinson. The physician, seeing Mrs. Blackwell's serious condition, rushed her to the Douglass Hospital, but she died shortly after reaching there. Mrs. Blackwell was 60 years old, a native of Schester, C. S., a daughter of the late Dr. Walker, who was a conspicuous figure in Reconstruction days. The funeral service was held on Monday, December 11, at Varkick Temple, 19th Street, at the side of Bishop J. C. Caldwell as matter of honor and Bishop W. L. Lee of Brooklyn, N.Y., preaching the sermon. Bishops P. A. Wallace of Brooklyn, L. L. Copin only be done in proportion as each man comes to feel some sense of responsibility for making and obeying the law under which she lives. Here it seems to me in the philosophy of local willgiving government. The further removed the government, the less the sense of responsibility. If this reasoning is correct an act by the Dyer bill does strike at the heart of local democracy. It is not a new criminal act. Lynching is already a crime under the law. It is an assumption by the federal government of a police control which at present belongs to the state. Its only justification would be that the state is unwilling to perform that function. The Dyer bill is dead, but the question which it raised is tremendously vital. Has democracy broken down in Georgia? Is this state unable or unwilling to grant the fundamental right of trial by jury to all of its citizens? It is true we are citizens of Georgia, but Georgia is a part of a great nation. We are one of all citizens of the United States, and the rest of the people of this nation have a right to demand that we answer that question distinctly and without evasion. The New Challenge. It is high time that the people of Georgia should awaken to the seriousness of this issue. They should come to understand that a comparatively small section, and a very small minority of the people of this state, is making the name of this old commonwealth a hissing and a by-word throughout the land, and putting in jeopardy the very existence of our democracy. Personally, I am glad the Dyer failed, though I wish it is could have killed by the orderly will of a majority instead of by the disorderly force of a minority. Even if it had been possible I should be horribly humiliated to see my beloved South forced by federal authority to do that which we know to be right. It would rob us of our democracy, and steal from us the precious privilege of voluntarily rendering justice to the weak. Now that the threat is removed, in obedience to the best traditions of southern chivalry, let us proclaim in some adequate police legislation that the anarchy of lynching shall no longer menace our democracy, and the humblest man in Georgia shall live under the protection of our justice. of Philadelphia and G.

The surrender of the United States Senate to the advocates of the mob law and lynching, as exemplified by the dropping of the Dyer bill in consequence of the filibuster of the Southern Democrats, has allowed expressions of various sentiments from the editors of the Negro newspapers. Most of these editors gave freely of their space and energies to the unflinching support of the measure and the failure to act upon it has reacted upon them in various ways. For instance, the Cleveland Gazette, of which political veteran Harry C. Smith, edited, seemed disposed to regard the result with unruffled equanimity, when he said: "The Dyer bill is dead and will remain so just as long as the present closure (rule) of the U.S. Senate is retained, and the Senate has worked under it from the very beginning. It is clear now that the bill never had a chance to pass." He also addressed this warning note to the disgruntled brethren: "Do not unduly in foolish threats against the Republican party as a result of the defeat of the Dyer Anti-Lynchburg Bill." Some of the other editors of the Ninego press, however, were not disposed to take such a philosophical view of the matter. The Reformed Planet, edited by John Mitchell, Jr., who ran on an independent ticket for Governor of Virginia, over a year ago, also claimed that the result was "just what was prophesied many months ago," but insisted that it proved that the Republican majority is unhappy and unable to unite fully with party pledges. It added: "This is due primarily to the policy of the administration with backing any Democratic opposition in the several States which bears the name of Republicanism. It is not cohesive and cannot be utilized in an emergency and will ultimately result in the disintegration of the Republican Party itself." The Western Appeal, published at San Francisco, expressed doubts of the good faith of the Republican attitude toward the bill and asked, "Is it possible for a small minority to drag the wheels of legislative Justices or is it a fact that the whole Negro race has been handed lemon by their so-called friends." It also predicted worse consequences to follow this surrender to the fees of good government in the following terms: "If the National Government is powerless to enact laws to protect citizens and defenders the Negro will in the course of time be driven into the camp of the I. W. W.'s, Bolsheviks and other lawless organizations where men retaliate by taking the law into their own hands." That is the unwritten law of the Southern States relative to the Negro and if not decided will spread to all parts of our beloved country." Not many of the editors of the race were inclined to adopt this pessimistic view of the situation. Even the Colorado Sun newspaper published at Denver, while not dismissing the thought that "there has been betrayal some place," denounced the practice of filibustering as the root of the evil. It said: "It would seem that the Senate would quickly change such a rule, but that is not to count on politics and the minority. Some little talk has been engaged in, but nothing ever has been done, and the outlook is that nothing will be done soon. The few, will not yield the privilege of blocking the many without a long drawn out fight, and thus far there has been no disposition to enter into such a fight. So matters drag along, and when the minority starts out to talk a measure to death, the majority proposes compromise. Some day the people will realize that they are the ones making the sacrifice and will begin to do some talking on their own account. Meanwhile we may forget, filibusters on most any occasion. It is one way to prevent the President from carving out his opposition policies, and therefore one way to better chances for Democratic success two years hence." On the other hand, signs of an inimitable option are a parent despite the recent revive suffered by the foes of lypophytes. The Kansas City Call went so far as to say that "the tactics used to defeat the antlipophytes bill indicate its ultimate passage." It reinforced this statement by saying. Whoever is in fault, however, the antlipophytes legislation fails of passage, the result is the same—we must push our unnatural life in the United States, it is not subject to the whim of mobs. We have tailed, but we know our strength. It has been only a few years since the first favorable decision of the United States Supreme Court. It is just a year since the House of Representatives gave us a partial victory in the Dyer Bill. All signs point to ultimate victory. We must push on and try again. The real test of our worth as American citizens is our never-say-die spirit. Democracy is not a perfect system of social relations. It has to be guided, and corrected. We who see its shortcomings in our direction are best fitted to suggest them and it is our bounden duty to do that. Whining gets us no where, and deserves only contempt. Our limited success in this first drive against lynching, is a fine beginning and deserves a vigorous second effort. The Des Molhes Bystander also spoke in the same, vein of hopefulness when it said: "In spite of it all we have won friends. We have demonstrated to the public the absurdity of the defenders of the lynch evil. On to the next Republican convention with the fight." This is the spirit that wins battles and deserves success. The Age has been inclined to the view all along that in waging the fight against lynching the Negro has not only been fighting in his own defense as the principal sufferer from that form of injustice, but the race has been working, wittingly or not, to preserve the saving principles of civilization in this country. Mob violence and lynching do not affect the victims alone; they affect every member of the mob and scatter the seeds of anarchy and disunion in every community that allows such crimes to continue unpunished by the law. The law cannot be violated with impunity without every individual who is in any way responsible suffering the penalty. Mob violence and lynching may have behold with the Negro as the victim, but they have not stopped there and the blood lust of the mob is bound to grow with every new victim. The growth of the Ku Klux Klan and the number of its white victims in Texas and other States is proof of this fact. The New York World, a consistent advocate of Democratic policy which persistently opposed the Dyer bill, was forced to admit the utter breakdown of the law involved in a recent Texas lynching and said: Although the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was probably unconstitutional and would not have accomplished what its political promoter, pretended, many persons will insist that, in justice to the Negro, measures of protection must be taken by the Federal Government. If the law commands no respect and mob murder is universally approved where a Negro's life is at stake, how is Texas or any other Southern State to justify itself as a civilized Commonwealth? Certainly the demand for more out- Certainly the demand for more outside interference and penalties will grow, not weaken, if outrages like this go unpunished. The fight against lynch law is not dead, no matter what its Southern Democratic opponents and its weak-kneed Republican supporters may think. It will continue with the growing force of an aroused public sentiment against it, until the protection of the law is ensured for every American citizen, regardless of race or color. FLORIDA'S PROMPT RESPONSE The condition of the lawabiding portion of the citizens of Florida, under the domination of the mob as encouraged by Congressional supinness and inaction, may well be imagined. A reader of The Age writes to say: "We are hoping that, with the assistance of the Negro press, that the conscience of the people of this country will finally be arround. When one thinks of the great concern expressed by them for affairs in the Near East and their callous indifference to the same affairs at home, one wonders of their hypocrisy." Nor is the expression of sentiments of this nature confined to the darker race. In a recent issue of the Pensacola Journal, Judge William B. Shepherd, of the United States court for the Northern District of Florida, was described as making an address at the B'Nai B'Rith celebration, in which he "denounced the siders some law like the Dyer bill tempt for the majority party in the Senate who would permit the Southern Democrats to block the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lnching law." The Journal continued. State's rights, he indicated, and pointed to the peonage and Mass acts as conflicting with the state's rights principle, but said there was no fight against these so that account. The Dyer anti-bitching law, he declared, was a measure to bring to trial own guilty of mob violence and lice with men banded together meeting at night and weaving masks, and attempting to mute our punishment without lawful trials, he considers some law like the Dyer bill as being absolutely essential to the nation's preservation. When a Federal judge in Florida delivers himself thus freely, before a Jewish organization, it must be admitted that he knows and desecrates the conditions for which he demands a remedy. It is well that the protest against mob violence, lynch law and the Ku Klux Kelvity is not confined to the black page. Florida's infamous response. Senatorial action is another count in the indictment of the mob spirit. THE NEW YORK AGE: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1952 VIEWS and REVIEWS By James Weiden-Johnson, Contributing Editor. A NEW LYNCHING RECORD. From December 4, the day the United States Senate laid aside the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, to December 12, there have been four lynchings in this country, one for each two days, one of the victims being publicly tortured and burned at the stake. On December 4, the day the United States Senate Anti-Lynching Bill, to December 12, took things in this country, one for each two of being publicly tortured and burned at the outbreak of barbarism, anarchy and degeneracy of the victims rest upon the heads of those who have obstructed even discussion or to remedy this very condition. And the really with the Republican majority who sued the failure of the United States Senate to control it be interpreted only as a license to mob. Every United States senator knows that wars the states have failed to check lynching. Every United States senator knows that men for federal protection and guarantee of States citizens within their own country have continuing and increasingly brutal rule. One colored people had hoped there would provoke States Senate sufficient statesmanship to this threat to civilization itself and to cope with a threat than quibble about the fiction of redight which they have shown themselves unexercise. One million colored citizens want to know in Congress propose to do to end this. THE NEW YORK "WORLD ON LYNCHING." New York "World" has been a constant of Anti-Lynching Bill. It has printed a number that measure. A good many people have felt that the "World," which is the most liberal of newspapers in New York, should be the one and vigorously fought the Anti-Lynching have felt that the "World" was largely in the desire to keep its record straight with the reality of the Eighteenth Amendment. Whatever accepted prohibition, and particularly at to the Constitution as facts, the "World" it has not only declared against prohibited to condemn the Volstead Act as against the rights of individual citizens. It has be the "World" has felt that it would be income Volstead Act in one breath and uphold it. With all of its opposition to the Dyer Anti-technical question of constitutionality, theelled by actual conditions and facts to confer be done to stop lynching and that probably be done by the Federal Government. It entitled "Another Texas Lynching" the "World." Though the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, with probably would not have accomplished what its promoters will insist that, in justice to the Negro, it must be taken by the Federal Government. If its respect and mob murder is universally approved with at stake, how is Texas or any other Southern State a civilized Commonwealth? Certainly the demand interference and penalties will grow, not weaken, go unpunished." It cannot know how the "World" proposes that taken by the Federal Government except it is provided for in the Dyer Bill which the opposed. This outbreak of barbarism, anarchy and degenerate bestiality and the blood of the victims rest upon the heads of those Southern senators who have obstructed even discussion of the measure designed to remedy this very condition. And the responsibility rests equally with the Republican majority who surrendered with hardly a struggle to the lynching tactics of the Southern Democrats. The failure of the United States Senate to consider this measure could be interpreted only as a license to mobs to lynch unmolested. Every United States senator knows that for more than thirty years the states have failed to check lynching or to punish lynchers. Every United States senator knows that in failing to stand firm for federal protection and guarantee of trial by law to United States citizens within their own country he was acquiescing in the continuing and increasingly brutal rule of the mob in America. The colored people had hoped there would prove to be in the United States Senate sufficient statesmanship to make a stand against this threat to civilization itself and to cope with the actual situation rather than quibble about the fiction of reserving to the states a right which they have shown themselves unwilling or unable to exercise. Twelve million colored citizens want to know what its representatives in Congress propose to do to end this intolerable situation. THE NEW YORK "WORLD ON LYNCHING. The New York "World" has been a constant opponent of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. It has printed a number of editorials against that measure. A good many people have wondered why it was that the "World," which is the most liberal of all the morning daily newspapers in New York, should be the only one which directly and vigorously fought the Anti-Lynching Bill. We have felt that the "World" was largely influenced in its course by the desire to keep its record straight with regard to the constitutionality of the Eighteenth Amendment. While other newspapers have accepted prohibition, and particularly the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution as facts, the "World" has never done so. It has not only declared against prohibition but has never ceased to condemn the Volstead Act as a constitutional invasion of the rights of individual citizens. It has been our opinion that the "World" has felt that it would be inconsistent to condemn the Volstead Act in one breath and uphold the Dyer Bill in the next. But with all of its opposition to the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill on the technical question of constitutionality, the "World" has been compelled by actual conditions and facts to confess that something must be done to stop lynching and that probably "that something" must be done by the Federal Government. In an editorial last week entitled "Another Texas Lynching" the "World had this to say: "Although the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, probably unconstitutional and would not have accomplished what its promoters pretended, many persons will insist that, in justice to the Negro, measures of protection must be taken by the Federal Government. If the law commands no respect and mob murder is universally approved where a Negro's life is at stake, how is Texas or any other Southern State to justify itself as a civilized Commonwealth? Certainly the demand for more outside interference and penalties will grow, not weaken, if outrages like this go unpunished." We do not know how the "World" proposes that this action shall be taken by the Federal Government except in some such manner as is provided for in the Dyer Bill which the "World" so vigorously opposed. THE QUESTION OF IMMIGRATION Art is now being made on the part of the great change the present method by which immigrant States is limited. By the present method, and in accordance with the unfilled quota allowances. When a quota is filled no more of it long to that quota can be admitted. Are two classes of people in the United States migration restrictions broken down—liberals or of the country should be barred against to enter to better his condition and become An effort is now being made on the part of the great industrial interests to change the present method by which immigration into the United States is limited. By the present method immigrants are admitted in accordance with the unfilled quota allotted to the various nationals. When a quota is filled no more of the nationals corresponding to that quota can be admitted. There are two classes of people in the United States who wish these immigration restrictions broken down—liberals, who hold that the doors of the country should be barred against no person who wishes to enter to better his condition and become an American citizen and the great industrial interests who claim that the bars should be let down in order to overcome the shortage of labor. In principle, the position taken by the liberals is just and proper. In practice, there may come, times when it would be disadvantageous to the people of the United States. Then it would be neither proper nor just; it would be merely a bit of sentimentality. It seems dangerously near to being mere sentimentality at the present time. The industries may need a greater supply of labor, but there is no actual necessity of getting it from abroad. The Negroes in the United States can furnish all the labor that industry may require. In fact, by right this common labor belongs to the Negro in preference to any outsiders. Only a few months ago the condition of the country was one of unemployment. Unemployment has decreased and disappeared not only because of the revival of industry but also on account of the crude labor supply from foreign countries being cut off. If the gates are opened wide again, it is only reasonable to suppose that it will not take long before labor will again be a drug on the market. But this is precisely what the big interests want. They want cheap labor and plenty of it. They have brought foreigners into the United States in big batches, worked them in the great industrial plants until these foreigners became familiar enough with the language and standards of American life to make large demands; then the industrial interests have brought in fresh batches. The labor field in these great industrial plants rightfully belongs to the Negro. Already because of the reduction in the numbers of common laborers there has set in another migration of Negroes from the South. If this industrial field could be held for twenty years and the Negro given his legitimate chance at it, there would be wrought within that time an almost inconceivable change in the whole race question. THE WEAK SPOT IN OUR SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT The Conference of Governors which met at White Sulphur Springs last week furnished another of the frequent exhibitions of one of the weakest spots in our form of government: We live under a so-called republican form of government which is supposed to be as near pure democracy as can be reached in a large and pop- The old Greek democracies were true democracies, in which each citizen voted in the market place upon governmental measures. Under our form of government we elect representatives who are supposed to voice the sentiments and desires of their constituents. It is all very good in theory and on paper, but in actual practice it does not begin to work out. Take Congress, for instance. If there any any loyal and patriotic American citizens who still trustingly believe that our representatives in Congress are daily and even nightly occupied with efforts for carrying out the wishes of their constituents and for the general welfare of the country, the aforementioned American citizens need to wake up. Under our system, the main job upon which members of Congress spend their energy is getting themselves re-elected. If expressing and carrying out the will of their constituents coincide with the effort of getting re-elected, well and good; if it does not, then so much the worse for the constituents. It is this that makes public cowards out of nine-tenths of the politicians in the United States. The great majority of them continuously have their ears to the ground, and they respond to the slightest rumble more quickly than the most delicate seismograph. And so it is that a politician in the United States may have individual views that are correct, that are sound, and for the best and highest good of the people; yet he becomes afraid to express those views for fear that they may affect his reelection to office. And so we hear him proclaiming publicly the things which he thinks to be popular, or at least the things which is so platitudinous and so innocuous that he feels sure that it can in no way hurt his chances. But back to the Governors' Conference. There they were assembled, about twenty of them; and when the question of the menace of the Ku Klux Klan to orderly government was brought up by the Governor of Louisiana and an expression on the question was asked for, not a governor opened his mouth. And why? Was it because they did not know and realize the danger of that organization to the state? Most likely each one of them, if asked his private opinion, would have emphatically stated that the Ku Klux Klan was an institution that should be destroyed and stamped out. But only recently the Klan has succeeded in various communities in defeating office seekers who were opposed to it; and so none of these governors dared to take a chance, that is, a chance which might affect them as office holders in the future. This sort of cowardice is commonplace in America and is responsible for the greater part of the bunkum and insincerity which we have in government. AN EDUCATIONAL CENTER. The Christmas number of the Nashville Globe, which consisted of five sections and thirty-two pages, was worthy of its claim as Tennessee's leading race journal which "covers Tennessee like the morning dew." In fact, the only deficiency we find with the regular issues of this paper is its dearth of editorial opinion, the columns intended for that purpose being aided by the use of the shears. However, the Christmas number gave its readers something to think over on the page headed "Nashville the Educational Center of the Southland." This startling claim was backed up by the enumeration of the various educational institutions located in this Southern city and a review of the work they are doing. Foremost among those is Fisk University which was opened under the name of Fisk School, January 9, 1866, in government buildings which had been used for hospital purposes for soldiers. It was first conducted as a public school, and had an enrollment of 1,200, with 800 for an average attendance. In November, 1867, the first Normal class was organized. There was also a Model school with sixty pupils in which the Normals had their training as teachers. In 1869 the government transferred the buildings to the American Missionary Association. In 1867 a charter was obtained for Fisk University. A dormitory was built in 1869, and a chapel, now called Howard Chapel, used as a church. Through the efforts of the world famous Fisk Jubilee Singer funds were raised for new buildings, including Jubilee Hall, "founded with American greenbacks and capped with British gold." Meharry Medical School first opened its doors to colored students in October, 1876, forty-six years ago. It was then known as the Medical Department of Central Tennessee College. It is said to be the largest medical school for Negroes in the United States. The boast has been made that 75 per cent. of the physicians, dentists and dentists of the area are alumni of the school. Walden College, now established on the ground once occupied by the Southern Semitarium by the Freedman's Aid Society, has undergone many changes. This school was established right after the Civil War, as the Central Tennessee College. It operated as such under Dr. Braden as an educational institution of the Methodist Episcopal Church. After the fire of some years ago the school amalgamated or federated with the medical department of Meharry and was known as Walden University. Located on the East bank of the Cumberland River in what is known as East Nashville, is so be found the pew Roger Williams University. The Baptists of Tennessee for more than fifty years have boasted of Old Roger Williams as one of the strongest educational institutions in their educational life. About fifteen or sixteen years ago a disastrous fire destroyed the two main buildings, and for several years there was no Roger Williams. Finally the Baptists of the State decided that there should be a Roger Williams, that this name was a synonym of Baptist progress and educational standards. They purchased the Olympic Park site and buildings on the Whites Creek Pike about three miles from the city and opened up Roger Williams anew, calling to impressibility Prot Johnson of Columbia, Tenn. Only a few years ago the Legislature of Tennessee passed an appropriation and authorized the establishment of the Tennessee Agricultural Industrial State Normal School. More than one hundred acres of beautiful campus school site and farm land were selected on the west bank of the Cumberland River on the right hand side of Centennial Boulevard. The school was organized almost as soon as the money was appropriated. The president of the school was selected in the person of Prof. W. J. Hale, who had spent a number of years in the educational work in the State. The National Baptist Theological and Training Seminary was authorized by the Convention of Baptists more than twenty years ago. Repeated efforts to purchase property, erect buildings and inaugurate a school proper were not successful until 1917 when the convention, known as the unincorporated part of the family, purchased and began an in situation on the site of what was formerly known as the Boscobel College, located in Nashville. The plant is valued at over $150,000. The Catholic Church is also represented among the educational institutions provided for the race in Nashville. The Academy of Our Immaculate Mother occupies a site on Seventh avenue in the southern section of the city, which was formerly the old Keith building. A Catholic Church has existed for colored people in Nashville since the early 60s and the school was the outgrowth of the church activity. It is understood that the acquisition of property with the creation of the modern buildings for school and church, was in the main made possible by Mother Drexel of Philadelphia. This goes pretty far to establish the claim made for Nashville as an educational center, as the graduates of the older institutions, such as Fisk and Meharry, have made good their reputations in all parts of the country. AN ACTOR ON · HIS ART When Charles S. Gilpin, the star in Eugene O'Neill's play, "The Emperor Jones," visited Minneapolis last month, the Minneapolis Morning, Tribune recorded the fact that he spoke at an informal meeting of the students and faculty of the University of Minnesota. In his remarks on this occasion, Mr. Gilpin expressed his belief that the movies will never replace the spoken drama, in this wiser "The thinking, music loving public always will demand the drama and for this reason the movies will never replace the spoken play." The actor evidently does not put much faith in the often promised innovation of reproducing the speech of the actors in combination with their appearance on the screen. Discussing his work in "The Emperor Jones," Mr Gilpin asked that Brutus Jones be regardid as a single type rather than a characterization of the Negro race. He continued: "Brutus Jones no more represents the entire Negro race than Snyklow represents the entire Jewish race," he asserted. "Both are merely types; Jones is shown as one of who has the veneer of a near education. If there is a moral to be drawn from the play, and I believe there is, it is that a bully always is a coward at heart." This expression should reassure those members of the race who have taken Mr. Gilpin's impersonation of the character in question as having a wider significance than was intended either by the author or the actor. The portrayal of the working of fear upon an individual character of the type presented in this play is a subject that required the most delicate treatment. That Mr. Gilpin has acquitted himself so acceptably in his portrayal is much to his credit and his discretion. The question of another dramatic vehicle for the exercise of his talents after the present play has served us. purpose, should be the aim of some historic playwright bent on estab- or adding to his reputation. BISHOP PHILLIPS STATEMENT The Aca has received a lengthy measure written by Bishop Charles Phillips of the Colored Method, copal Church, in which he charac- tized as "misleading" the publication of cling from the Birmingham stating that he had lost his suit against that paper. In his statue Bishop says nothing concerning but accuses the editor of the fife of being unkind and unfair to that the paper viciously assail- In the clipping, reproduced Aca, the editor of the Reporter easily stated that there was no inter- damage the character and life bishop but that he intended to certain practices brought to him a regarding certain conferences. He vocated, a more systematic med- herest dealing with the funds of organizations. Bishop Phillips agree thoroughly with this recou- ncil, for in his statement he says When THE Agr says "there is an accurate accounting and rigouring of the funds of all religious fraternal organizations," it is in statement with which I am in accord. With such a harmonious agreement upon the vital principles involved controversy, we do not feel that useful end would be served by the good bishop's statement in the reason that it would lead to profitable discussion of personal not germane to the principles at In justice to the bishop, however, note the fast that the North A. annual conference, in its session mingham, passed a resolution encl his reply, and expressing the fulfilidence "in his rigid honesty and peachable character, which have been questioned in the Colored Medist Episcopal Church." The signed by W. M. Gladden, annual conference secretary, who must accept sponsibility for the adjective mod the noun character. ANOTHER LYNCHING IN TEXAS. (From New York World) Freestone County, Texas, now answer for its third lynching in few months. In the case of the shocking committed by the mob at St. Petersburg the local and county authorities every reason to expect a lynching. The knew what was in the air the murder the wild hunt for a Negro suspect crime started. They should have been exactly what was coming when a Negro was captured. The mob was leaked murder. It did not want evidence made no difference that the prison was never identified by anybody a man accused of attacking a white man. The Sheriff and his party did no resistance, and the Negro prison innocent so far as all evidence goes, seized and killed by the lynchers in presence of 1,000 persons. It is the usual story in such circumstances of the utter breakdown of law, for which the Sheriff and officers and the entire community responsible. After this third outfit in Freeport County, close on the two others, what has Texas for itself? Although the Dyer Anti-Lynching was probably unconstitutional and it not have accomplished what its promoters pretended, many persons insist that, in justice to the Negroes of protection must be taken by Federal Government. If the laws mandis no respect and mob universally approved where a New life is at stake, how is Texas or other Southern State to justify as a civilized Commonwealth. DYER BILL ABANDONED (From Atlanta, Ga.) Condition In view of the long and strenuous that has been made in behalf the Dyer anti-lynching bill, the which its opponents virtually killed by the filibuster process in the was somewhat surprising At the same time the feeling the resistance put forth by the share of the bill gave color to the less general impression that there a measure of hypocrisy on force in their pretensions of invasions in the last minute, upon its being not to a vote. The charge was openly made by opponents that the Republican seriously considered passing the anti-lynching law, many of the living it to be unconstitutional that it was kept alive and a debate and agitation in congress for the sake of political effect. That these charges were held something more than once in the arrest by the quickness with which the Republican leaders submitted the filibuster, in the closing days of the session and sent word to the legislative opposition that, as stated, press dispatch, "the majority will press the anti-lynching legislation either at the remainder of the session or at the regular session evening Monday noon." This is tantamount to the enactment of the proposal to impose the country this or a similar legislation savoring of sections. And to that extent the Amtri people have reason to be thankful. But, gratifying as this turn of people, there is a lesson in the Dear controversy to date that every tolerated may read with profit. It is simply that the last that proposed act of legislation was such serious consideration as to be passed by the house and kept in on the Senate calendar, indicates a termination on the part of fighting Americans eventually to put to mob violence and barbarism in country if purely a solution of themselves, that is, government upon state authority. The Dyer bill has been used but if lynching and mob outlaws permitted to continue to show scene and simulate it, the people from time to time will be at the counting of transgressions or laying down will be the forces of federal law will be asked to put an end to.

This little house was very very old, and the people who lived there were very poor. They had two little girls, but their father was trouble and sick, and could not do much work. The little girls were named Jane and Janet; the youngest was Jane and the oldest was Janet. Now, the snow had fallen and lay high and deep so that they couldn't get out very much. Christmas was near it hard and the two little girls looked and looked. Janet said: "Father, now work will be Christmas and I am afraid we will not have a single thing"; and her mother spoke up and answered, "Not even a date will we have my dear." The two children now will all cheer. On Christmas Eve they creep to their left to bed and hang their stocking on the chimney anyway. The next morning they grow. Janet got up and looked into their stockings, and to her great surprise she found a little swallow. Janet ran to her sister Jane and told her, and then they showed it to their mother and father and he shouted for joy that they had something for a Christmas gift. Janet's mother told her the little bird had flown down the chimney and into her warm stocking for a home, saying God had thought of them being poor and sent the little bird.

"Cream one half-cup of butter, and one cup of sugar; add two well beaten eggs, one cup of milk and three- quarters cups of flour sifted with three level teaspoons baking powder. Flavor with vanilla. Bake in not too hot an oven, and then spread with icing. Dooms that sound good? It is a real cake and if you are careful in making, it will turn out lovely. But if you are caratees it is bound to be a mess. The same is true of life. Life is what we make it. If it is to be worth living we must make it so. And mind it takes initiative and steadfastness of purpose. Don't be content to model your life work after the pattern of some one else. Try to make your life different from other peoples, but be sure to make it a success. We are all young; as that age in which we are most susceptible to influence. Therefore it behooves us to be careful; to be on our guard; to hold hands with life and stand on our feet. Don't be a "copy cat." Because one person has failed in a certain enterprise don't imagine that you will fail under similar circumstances. Ten to one you'll win out. And life is a game of chances in which we all must take our turn or else be counted out. This generation is generally classed it all there is that substantial layer of common sense which tides many of us people's expectations. But deep under it tall there is that substantial layer of commonense which tides many of us over a suck-hole in Life's dark sea. (The icing of the cake is very sweet, but it often makes us ill and then we are glad to eat the more digestible part.) Such is life. Frivolity is the icing; the outside veneer which is not lasting. We soon tire of it and long for things of a more serious nature; something substantial. Lee this serve as a warning to us all. Partake of the icing of life with the rest, but remember that the less it is used the more novel the experience of having it, and the anticipation of tasting is sweeter. "LITLLE GIRL." Newark, N. J.

JAPANESE KEEP THEIR WORD. (By William Pichens). One of Senator Hitchcock's "inferior races" has shown itself superior to the "superior" race by keeping its word. The Japanese have restored Shantung to China. The Germans, of the "superior" breed, never would have done this willingly. China gets Shantung back simply because Japan was able to take it from the Germans during the Great War. The Japanese took this prize from an enemy, and yet they restored it to the one from whom it was originally stolen. What "superior" race will emulate that example? The United States is still in Haiti, which it did NOT take from an enemy, but from a helpless little friend Haiti was allied with the United States in War. Japan restores Stantung although Chinese bandits are threatening 20,000 Japanese residents there. What better excuse would a "superior" race want than this, as a reason why they should "stay"? Can you imagine the United States getting out of Haiti if they had any such good bondi excuse? They are staying there even without excuse, and even though there is no great number of Americans in Haiti to be "protected." The color mantics of California and of the Chicago Tribune paint the Japanese as perfidious. Here is a fact which ought to outweigh a test of mere allegation.

No race is without such men and none has a monoply on the world's supply of such men. Take careful note of the different inventions and discoveries that went to make this boasted white man's civilization what it is today. You will come across the name of many a Negro, as you will those of men representing every nationality. Do people ever stop to give thought to this hundred per cent. American cry? Translated into understandable language it means one hundred per cent Anglo-Saxon domination of America. There it is in a nutshell. But to get back: is there any reason why the white race should be so obnoxiously "supreme" in this country? How can their superiority be described? Is it physical? Is it mental? It is neither physical nor mental. They turn out MORE mental products because they put in more hours than the Negro doing it. White men have done nothing that Negroes cannot or better. In fact it has been discovered to be true that the things we marvel at today were performed with greater accuracy in Africa before the Christian era by men of dark skin. As witness, the Pyramids, the HARDENED bronze (the secret of hardening bronze) has not yet been discovered by the whites. Also, the caimbling fluids used by the Egyptians to preserve mummies to this day. Despite floggings, lynchings and what not, the MANLINESS of the Negro stands out prominently as to be openly commented upon. Surely the seed from which these people sprang was intended, by the will of the inventor, to thrive. It is my firm conviction that it was ordained of God that our race should never perish. I cannot account for the miracle of its continued existence in the face of unhealthy conditions otherwise. AMERICAN NEGRO.

Azalia Hackley Is Dead After Months of Illness Was Best Known Figure in Ranks of Race Musicians—Her Remarkable Career Over Twenty Year Period Has No Parallel In the Race A telegram received on Saturday morning from the Rev. Everard W. Daniel, formerly curate of St. Philips P. E. Church, New York, now rector of a church in Detroit, brought information of the death of Mme. E. Azalia Hackley, who was stricken in California a number of months ago, and had been brought to her old home in Detroit, where the most loving and unremitting care was of no avail in restoring to normal her mental and physical faculties. Mme. Hackley died on Wednesday evening, December 13, at the home of her sister, Mrs. Joseph Johnson, 436 Clinton avenue. The funeral was held on Saturday following at 2 o'clock, p. m. As a singer and musician, no other member of the race occupied a similar position to Mme. Hackley, nor was there another, whether singer, composer, instrumentalist, or director, who was known so widely or loved so well. First coming into prominence musically in Denver, Col., to which city she removed after marriage, and where she graduated as a Bachelor of Music from the College of Music of the University of Denver, this gifted woman, in a career which extended over twenty years, had made herself known in practically every community of any consequence in the United States. She travelled extensively as a soloist for a number of years, and then went to Paris where she took post graduate courses that made her eminently fitted for the work which she later took up—that of carrying to the masses a fundamental knowledge of correct principles in the art of singing, together with plain, simple rules by which health might be conserved. Through her community Folk Song Festivals she reached thousands upon thousands of the race, and as a means of musical missionary work reaching into the ranks of both races, there has been nothing to compare with her efforts in this direction. In this particular she has been very aptly termed "Our National Vocal Teacher." An effort was made by Mme. Hackley, at one time, to centralize her work in this connection by establishing the Normal Vocal Institute in Chicago, which she intended to utilise as a kind of headquarters, from which she could go out over the country and to which she could send the most promising students encountered in her travels. It was an idea broad and noble in its conception, but unfortunately, her physical strength was not equal to the task. Failing health necessitated an abandonment of this project. In fact, those closely associated with Mme. Hackley really think that her work in this venture was the beginning of the strain which ultimately brought about her physical and mental collapse. Mme. Hackley was born in Murfreesboro, Tenn., her mother, Corilla Beard, having married a southern man, Mr. Smith, who visited Detroit. Her parents returned to Tennessee and Mrs. Smith opened a school for the freed slaves, which she continued to teach until Azalia was born. Following this event, Mrs. Smith, with her infant daughter, returned to Detroit, and the little southern-born girl did not return to the section where she was born until after she was a married woman. As a child she attended the Miami school, the only colored student, and at thirteen she was a high school student. At the age of eighteen, the young colored girl had finished both the high and normal schools, appearing twice upon the high school commencement program, the first colored girl to be so distinguished. She was also the first girl of the race to graduate from the normal school. In competitive examination she passed the teacher's examination, again pioneering for the race, and entered the school system as a teacher—this while in her eighteenth year. It is a remarkable tribute to her ambition and determination that while she was a high school student she played in orchestras, often late into the night and gave piano lessons, to obtain needed money for the study of music. She took both voice culture and the violin, but, strange to say, she never had a lesson on the pianoforte. Notwithstanding this lack, she had considerable pianistic technique. Five years later, although she had advanced to the position of first assistant at the Clinton School, and was in line for promotion to a principalship the following year, she married Edward H. Hackley and moved to Denver to live. Here she entered the College of Music and won her degree, and embarked upon a musical career which lasted from 1901 to the day she was stricken in far off California. In Denver it was that Mme. Hackley laid the foundation for her career of usefulness and it was to this city in the high Colorado altitude that her thoughts always turned with loving memories. I have no information as to her wishes concerning her burial place prattance this season against the Borough Lightning Five at Brooklyn on Christmas night. There has been some question as to which is the strongest amateur team in the city this season, and this question will probably be answered on Christmas night, as both the contestants in this game are generally considered the two strongest amateur teams. The Brooklyn team is practically intact from last season, and is playing a better grade of basketball than ever before. Several of the Alpha Moguls have been moved up to the Big Five, but this has strengthened their team upstead of weakening it. Regardless of which side wins, basketball fans will be treated to a good game.

Although the Brooklyn team put up a close fight in their previous game, they were a poor match on Sunday night, as the local team scored twenty field goals to their five, and could have scored more. The final score of the game was 43-13. The entire Commonwealth team continues to show improvement, but Shaun showed up better in the game on Sunday night than in any previous game he has played this season. He scored 17 points for his team and outpumped his mean at center. The outstanding player for the Brooklynites was "Dutch" Edgers, he kept George real out of the game during most of the test half. In the latter part of the second half, the Commonwealth Five used up more than five minutes practicing passing and deline try to shoot. After several future attempts to get possession of the ball, the Celtics practically gave up and quit play. About a minute before the game ended, Edgars secured the ball and ran around Fial until the whistle ended the game. The link up of the teams was as follows: Commonwealth Celtics Jenkins L. I.

HARVEY'S MINSTRELS AT LAFAYETTE THEATRE Harvey's Minstrels at the Lafayette Theatre offers theatre-goers in Haiti a novel evening's entertainment. I show begins with an old time miniseries which is mildly entertaining. In the second part, however, comes a list of vaudeville acts that are among the beats the race Las, especially the act of Johnny Woods, billed as the King of Ventriloquists, who is a real actress. For fifteen minutes Woods was on the stage, and they were without doubt the most entertaining minutes of the show. There was a variety of other acts, such as are seldom seen in a coerced show. Among them were the Edwards, who presented a clever walking and acrobatic act; Cross and Jackson, in "The Dark Town Circus" with Margaret Jackson singing several songs in a well trained soprano voice; and Alozoy Moore as a magician. The third part of the performance is a revue, which was well staged and which contained several new jokes. The singing of the Pekin Quartet, composed of Cross, Johnson, McFarland and Viney was also well received. Whitney Viney was master festivites in the minstrel, and the following were end men: Johnny Woods, Noah Robinson, Slim Austin, Charlie Beechur, Lawrence Baker and Billy Moore. Others in the show are James Cross, A. J. McFarland, Billy Moore, and Misses Edwardg. Welts McFarland, Williams and Moore. Harvey's Minstrel's will continue at The Lafayette during Christmas week.

To the remnant of snow that still remained, was added a chilling rain, that caused those indoors to get damp from venturing outside. In consequence of such weather, the usual large number that attended the morning service was not present. The pastor, Dr. Brown, preached upon the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus. His sinner was "No Room for Jesus." He declared that the birth of Jesus was the fulfillment of the divine plan of salvation, and that He came for the restoration of the human family into favorable relationship with Jehovah. He pointed out that at the time of the birth of Christ, there was no room for Him in the inns, or hotels, even so to-day, there are those in whose hearts there is "No room for Jesus." He declared that the people in Bethlehem did not realize that in turning away Mary and Joseph, they were turning away the parents of Jesus, the Savior of the world, who is the Son of the Almighty. The speaker urged that room be made in the hearts of men and women for Jesus. It was an impressive sermon and was indeed appropriate. Those who, in spite of the inclementity of the weather, made it a part of their program of the day to be present, were richly rewarded for the effort put forth. At the conclusion of the sermon two persons were received into the church. The Sunday school opened promptly at 2 o'clock. On account of the weather, the attendance was not up to the regular standard. However, we had a very interesting and profitable session. Both departments we treated to an appropriate story by Mrs McIntyre. The Sunday-school collection amounted to $2,10, besides an after collection to aid the Christmas dinner for people and unfortunates, amounted to $2,40. At 8 p.m., Dr. Bron preached a special sermon to the Methodist Brotherhood of the church. To this sermon the Sisterhood was also invited. The Brotherhood is growing in membership, and is operated to promote the wholesome social relationship of the members of the parish. It admits to membership persons who are not members of the parish and who are recommended, as per requirements of the laws governing the organization. In time of sickness, the members receive benefits and at death, $25. On Thursday evening, December 21, under the auspices of the Sunday-school, the Cooper Dun, entertainers, will give one of their splendid entertainments in the church for the benefit of the Sunday-school Christmas fund The beginning of the Christmas celebration will take place next Sunday. The sermon at 11 o'clock will be preached by Bishop W. L. Lee. In the evening a Christmas cantata will be rendered by the choir, C. F. Leegarr chorister.

St. James Presbyterian Church and congregation insisted last Sunday to the report of the pastor who returned from Kansas City, Mo., where he attended the Laymen's Church Conference. Dr. Hyder described the convention as the most helpful and enthusiastic church gathering in recent years. Over one thousand delegates attended the meeting. The object of the meeting which was planned by the New Era Movement was 15 present to the assembled delegates a program which would enable the whole church to mobilize its man power in such a manner as would insure the active cooperation of every member of the church. Dr. Hyder said in the course of his address that he hoped to so visualize the convention to the church that it would catch the spirit in which the convention was held. The trustees reported to the congregation at the morning service that the proceeds of the Fair had netted over $1,575. Dr. Hyner will deliver a special Christmas session next Sunday at 11 o'clock. The annual reveal will open with the Night Watch service. First Emmanuel Church. Owing to the bad weather Sunday, as many as might be expected were out. Pastor Bolden preached a wonderful sermon in the morning. His text was St. Matthew 6:11, "Give us this day our daily bread." He told how Jesus said thank God for bread daily, thank Him for Strength, for health, and even for your friends and enemies. At two oclock Suppe, Begans opened the Sunday-school. At the close of the school, the scholars rehearsed the Christmas carols. One new scholar was admitted. At 3:30 the Rainbow Circle held its initial meeting. Short talks were given by Miss Copeland, Miss Locken, and Mrs Tate. The Literary Society convened at 4 oclock Miss Pauline Jackson having charge of the program, Miss V. Haskins mistress of ceremonies. The program was as follows: duet, Master and Miss Strickland; solo, Miss Ann Jennings; solo, Henry Robinson; contralto solo, Miss F. Anderson; singing, "Be still and know!" duet, Mr. and Mrs. William L. Townsend. At 8 o'clock many attended the evening service. The sermon was preached by the Rev. T. J. Vesta. His text was St. John 11:14. "And the word became flesh and dwelt among us, (and we behold his glory, the glory as the only begotten of the lather), full of grace and truth." This sermon was inspiring to all who gathered. Rev. Vesta denied God's word in such a way, that even the youngest could understand. The sermon had charge of the dinner during the day, and $7.90 was turned over to the church from the same Union Baptist Church As Christmas approaches all our minds are bent almost exclusively in that direction. Everyone is planning and fixing in their efforts to cheer some heart on that day. This holiday spirit seems to permeate the congregation of our church. On Sunday morning, though the number in attendance was low yet it was exceptional in view of the stormy weather. The sermon by our pastor from the subject, "Christ's Witnesses," was inspiring and helpful. And though it as dark and dreary without, the singing of all present, together with the sermon gave light and joy within. At 2 p.m., the Sunday-school began its session with Sister Holmes in charge and the little people showed that they were able to dispense for the attendance was indeed quite large. The B. Y. H. U. at 5:30 under Press. Lloyd was interesting, the topic for the day being, "The Glory of Fidelity," and much was learned as different persons in the audience gave some enlightenment on the subject. In the evening a large number was present to hear the annual sermon of the G. W. Baptist Memorial Council.

Rush Memorial Church On last Sunday morning the audience was not large at Rush Memorial Church on account of the weather, but those present enjoyed a spiritual treat by the pastor. The Sunday-school is getting ready for the Christmas exercises and tree which is to be given for the benefit of the children. The Sunday-school is rapidly growing larger and more interest seems to be taken by the older and younger members. Dr. Oliver preached in the evening frmo St. Matthew 13:44, subject, "Hidden Treasurers." This sermon was inspiring and interesting to all. On Christmas a special sermon, based on the day, will be preached by the pastor. In the evening there will be special music rendered by the choir, H. Gladstone Marshall in charge.

Myers, accompanists. Nazareme Congregational Church, Dr. H. H. Proctor filled his pulpit at both services, and despite inclementity of weather there was a good attendance. At the morning hour he spoke on "The letters of Paul." He showed how Paul gave the solutions of the modern problems with which we are grappling—theology, labor, drink, race, national and international problems. He brought every question under the verdict of Jesus. At the evening hour he spoke on "Christ versus the Ku Klux," and showed how this organization, which is seeking the sanction of the church, falls under the condemnation of Jesus as to method, motive and fruit. In contrast to the influence of the Ku Klux, who spread hate, he held up the sweet songs of the South, which were the historic expression of a race in its first contact with Christianity. Rev. Claude Coile, pastor of the neighboring hite Methodist Church, and his people, attended the service on a body. After listening to a number of melodies by the choir, remarks were made by Mr. and Mrs. Coile, to which Mrs. H. H. Proctor responded felicitously. Great regret exists over the death of Samuel Kobbins, one of the oldest, and most faithful members of the church. He had been a member of the Lord-Hand Society for twenty-seven years, and of the church for eighteen. The Re A. P. Miller assisted in the funeral services. Sunday will be a special day in Nazarene. At the morning hour, the choir will render special Christmas service of song by the combined choirs of Nazarene, consisting of sixy voices, under the leadership of Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, chorister and organist.
